If the three men who looked like hooligans just scolded and left, maybe Zhu Yuanyu would not interfere casually, since ancient times, it has been difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, and if they help the weak, maybe people will turn around and complain about him in the end.

For example, if a young couple quarrels in the street, and the man wants to beat the woman, then someone comes out to stop him, and the man is blinded by anger, and indiscriminately even beats the person who persuades the fight, and the person who fights fights back, but is stopped by the woman, and blames the person who fights for beating his husband.

Therefore, whenever there is a quarrel between relatives, it is inconvenient for outsiders to intervene in the bystanders, and if one is not careful, both ends will not be human.

But now the situation of the old couple is a little different, listening to their conversation, it seems that the thief-eyed man who is the leader has done something sorry for others, and the three big men ...... Although it looks like a hungry person, besieging two elderly people still makes people's teeth cold.

The old man was forced to defend himself with a knife, and it was a pity to leave the delirious old woman behind if he injured himself during the fight.

Although it was a meeting in Pingshui, Zhu Yuanyu was not so cold-blooded, and he had a great impression of the old couple, so he would not just sit idly by.

Zhu Yuanyu gave an order, and Qi Yi rushed out like a sturdy leopard, and put down three hooligans in three or two clicks.

The old man was holding a knife in his hand, and he was protecting the old woman behind him, and his face was dumbfounded.

Zhu Yuanyu didn't look at the three people lying on the ground, walked in front of the old man, reached out and took down the knife in the old man's hand, and then looked at the old woman behind him, making sure that the other party was not frightened, and relaxed a little.

Although the old couple's noodle stall is not located in the downtown area, the floating population around it is still relatively dense, and the scorching sun near noon in summer has baked the streets without a trace of moisture.

The old man who came back to his senses sighed, he felt that today's business might not be able to continue, so it was better to pack up and go home.

Seeing that the old man began to put the guy away in the same way, Zhu Yuanyu knew that he might be going to close the stall, so he got out of the way, and had no intention of looking, but found that the three hooligans had not left yet, and were glaring at him with an angry face, but he didn't dare to step forward to beat people like he did just now, I am afraid that he was afraid of Qi Yi's force.

Zhu Yuanyu glanced at the passers-by who were scattering, thought for a while, and said to the old man, "Where does the old man live? ”

He saw that the three hooligans had no intention of giving up entanglement, and he was afraid that they would take advantage of the old couple to go home, and no one might come to the rescue at that time, and how could the two weak old men be able to defeat the three hooligans, so he wanted to escort them home.

But—

The three hooligans looked like they were eyeing each other, and the old man's attitude, indicating that the two sides had been entangled for some days and might continue to be entangled in the future...... There are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, so the situation of the old couple will only become more and more difficult.

Zhu Yuanyu is an outsider, although he also thinks that this matter is a little inappropriate, and if it is not handled properly, it may cause irreparable consequences, but it is inconvenient for him to interfere.

The old man is not stupid, he understands what he means when he listens to Zhu Yuanyu's words, and he also knows that he can't stop the three of them with his bad old man alone, and if he wants to go home safely, accepting Zhu Yuanyu's kindness is the most appropriate way.

Knowing that he might implicate the two young men in doing this, the old man didn't know if it was right to do so for a while, but when he saw his ignorant wife beside him, the old man still blushed and agreed, that is, his face was sallow and sallow like the man in Youxi City, and he couldn't see the symptoms of blushing at all.

"Well, then it's going to be a trouble for the two little brothers! My house is down this street and a few more corners of the alley, not far away. ”

After saying goodbye to Zhu Yuanyu and Qi Yi, the old man looked at the old woman with a gentle face, and smiled like a child: "Let's go home!"

The old woman's eyes lit up, she nodded happily, and grinned back, "Okay, okay! Go home!"

The old man neatly tidied up the guys, pushed the cart and took the lead in the front, and the old woman followed.

How could two young men let an old man push the cart back alone.

Zhu Yuanyu's foot was injured on the soles of his feet closer to his heels, so it was still okay for him to walk on tiptoe on one foot, but the posture was a little weird, but he didn't care about this.

glanced at Qi Yi and signaled him not to continue to support himself like a patient, or to go to the front to help push the cart.

Qi Yi lowered his eyes a little uneasily, he could almost stare at Zhu Yuanyu's instep out of a hole, but in the end he was shaken by his insistent attitude, let go of his hand, and only let go when he was sure that he could walk without relying on himself, and at the same time, for some reason, he was suddenly a little lost.

"Young Master, your foot injury is not healed yet, or your subordinates can send people back, you-" Qi Yi swept the surrounding environment, pointed to the tea shop opposite, and continued: "You go over to rest, and your subordinates will rush back quickly after sending them off." Do you think that's going to work?"

Zhu Yuanyu is not a person who doesn't know what to do, and understands that Qi Yi is thinking about himself, even if he follows, he may let him be distracted and take care of himself, it is better to stay in the tea shop to drink tea and wait for him to come back, so he nodded and agreed.

"Old man, my foot injury is not healed, so it is inconvenient for me to go along, and he will send you home for me. ”

The old man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal! I didn't even notice your foot injury, I'm really ashamed...... Don't worry about us, you rest, or it won't be good if you get a foot injury!

When Qi Yi pushed the cart to escort the old couple away, Zhu Yuanyu walked into the tea shop that Qi Yi was referring to.

"Guest, what are you drinking?"

"Pu'er. ”

"Okay, what do you want to eat?"

"What's your most famous refreshment here?"

"Mung bean cake. ”

"Then this one. ”

"Okay!

Waiting for Xiao Er from the tea shop to come up with Pu'er tea and mung bean cake, Zhu Yuanyu finally put his mind at ease - fortunately, it was no longer a full plate of maggots.

First poured a cup of Pu'er tea to moisten the throat, discarded the equipped chopsticks, Zhu Yuanyu used slender and clean fingers to pick up a small and delicate mung bean cake and slowly send it into his mouth, although the entrance of the mung bean cake is soft, but there is no oily moisturizing feeling, so delicate that it melts in the mouth in an instant, very delicious.

The plate containing the mung bean cake is no more than the size of a palm, the top layer is a piece of mung bean cake, which has been eaten by Zhu Yuanyu, the second layer is three mung bean cakes, the bottom layer is five mung bean cakes, a plate of mung bean cake is a total of nine mung bean cakes.

Don't look at Zhu Yuanyu, it seems that he eats very slowly, but the mung bean cake on the plate was wiped out seven pieces at once, and he stopped only after satisfying his appetite.

No matter how delicious something is, he can't eat too much, which is the health knowledge he learned from his mother Wang Chunmei.

Zhu Yuanyu is still a person who is willing to share good things with his relatives, and he has never been stingy with the relatives he identries.

asked Xiao Er to come over, and Zhu Yuanyu instructed him to pack two portions of mung bean cake and bring them back with him when he returned to Yuelai Inn.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Zhu Yuanyu wanted to inquire about the news, and he had been obsessed with the food at Yuelai Inn.

There were not many customers in the tea shop, so Zhu Yuanyu beckoned to Xiao Er, intending to get information from him first.

Xiao Er walked over with a smile on his face, "Guest officer, what's the use of being small?"

Although Xiao Er of the tea shop also has a sallow face, he is much better than the guys at Yuelai Inn, and the smile on his face is much more sincere. If you look closely, he still has a pair of big watery eyes, as if he can speak, which makes people feel soft in their hearts.

"What's your name?" Zhu Yuanyu felt that the little second in front of him was like a cute puppy, and he especially wanted to rub his head.

Xiao Er is only eleven or twelve years old, he doesn't have much defense, and he thinks that the son in front of him is very good-looking, he thinks that good-looking people are good people, so he is very happy about this good-looking son talking to him.

"Childe, the little one is called a dog. It seemed that his name was a little unpleasant, and the dog shyly lowered his head slightly, not even knowing that the roots of his ears were red.

I don't know if this good-looking boy will dislike himself - the dog thought silently in his heart inexplicably.

Zhu Yuanyu didn't dislike it, but he was a little speechless, as if there were quite a few people who called dogs.

secretly glanced at the good-looking son, but was caught by others, and the dog almost buried his head in his chest.

"Dog...... It seems that your family loves you a lot. As far as I know, parents generally give their children a cheap name when they are young, thinking that such children are easy to support, and hope that the child will grow up healthy and happy without illness or disaster in his life. ”

"Is that so?" Goudan raised his head suddenly, his big eyes shining, he had always felt that his name was not good, but he never knew that there would be such a big meaning behind it.

Then the dog didn't know what to think, his eyes suddenly dimmed, and the expression on his face looked a little sad.
