Chapter 9: Anger
It was a twenty-minute walk from the Chen family's ancestral house to the vegetable market, and although Chen Ling said that Grandma Yang would come back soon, Chen Tie couldn't wait.
On the way to the vegetable market, Chen Tie knocked on the side, but he also learned a lot of things from Chen Ling's mouth.
It turned out that Chen Ling had always been brought up by Grandma Yang, and, if there was no accident, Chen Ling was likely to be his biological sister.
Of course, these are all things that Chen Ling heard from Grandma Yang, when the family was wiped out, he was rescued by the master, and Chen Ling was just born, and happened to be carried out by Grandma Yang, thus escaping the catastrophe.
Grandma Yang, who seems to be a servant of the Chen family, saw that the Chen family was destroyed, and did not abandon Chen Ling, but took Chen Ling alone and hid in the countryside for refuge.
However, when Chen Ling was seven years old, Grandma Yang took Chen Ling back to the Chen family's ancestral house, thinking that after so many years, the people who destroyed the Chen family should no longer pay attention to the Chen family's ancestral house.
The second is because Chen Ling should also go to school, since then, Grandma Yang has taken Chen Ling to take root in the abandoned ancestral house, until now, Chen Ling has been in his first year of high school, but nothing has happened.
Over the years, all of Chen Ling's study expenses have been earned by Grandma Yang's stalls and picking up rags, and whenever Chen Ling has time, he will follow Grandma Yang to pick up rags.
It has been like this for as long as she can remember, and the poor life has made Chen Ling very sensible, but it has also made her extremely inferior and timid.
Knowing Chen Ling's experience over the years, and looking at her thin body and the panicked expression on her face from time to time, Chen Tie felt very uncomfortable.
This girl who is only sixteen years old should have enjoyed the warmth of her family, was born in the Chen family, and should have been loved by thousands of people, but the family suffered a lot of hardships at a young age.
At least, he himself has a powerful master, although his cultivation is very hard, he can be regarded as worry-free about food and clothing, while Chen Ling lives a much more humble life than him.
Nearly twenty minutes later, Chen Ling glanced at Chen Tie timidly, and said softly: "When you arrive, there is the vegetable market in front, and Grandma Yang is there." ”
Chen Tie's thoughts were interrupted, looking at Chen Ling's anxious appearance, pity floated in his heart, and he couldn't help but reach out and rub her hair, and said: "Don't be afraid of me, in the future, I will never let you be bullied and wronged, and I will not let you suffer again, let's go, go and meet the Grandma Yang you mentioned." ”
Chen Ling pinched the corners of her clothes, she was very uncomfortable with Chen Tie's behavior of rubbing her hair, only Grandma Yang would treat her so kindly.
"If you really don't have to suffer anymore, it should be a very happy life. The little girl also has a longing in her eyes, and the kind of life that Chen Tie said is too untouchable for her.
This is also the suburb of Jiangbei City, the buildings are slightly dilapidated, Chen Ling took Chen Tie, walked for another minute, bypassed a few old houses, not far in front, finally there was a dirty vegetable market, however, there were a lot of people, coming and going, people were boiling.
"Ah, those villains, they're bullying Grandma Yang again......" When he arrived at the vegetable market, Chen Ling suddenly exclaimed, and his figure rushed out in an instant.
Chen Tie's brows immediately furrowed, and when he looked at it, he immediately noticed that in a corner of the vegetable market, an old woman with white hair was placed in front of her, with some delicate-looking handicrafts for sale.
However, at this time, there were seven or eight arrogant young people around the old woman, who were constantly pushing and shoving the old man, and the people around him were just watching from a distance, as if no one dared to care about the affairs of a few young people.
Chen Ling ran over to the old grandmother.
"You, you let go of grandma, let go, let go......" Chen Ling ran anxiously closer, helped the old grandmother who was pushed unsteadily, and shouted at seven or eight young people, his eyes were already full of tears.
"Yo, it's Chen Ling, your grandmother hasn't paid the protection fee today, what do you say? One of the young men reached out and patted Chen Ling's head heavily, laughing.
"Why do you collect protection money, even if you have to collect it, you have already paid it yesterday, how can you be so excessive?" Chen Ling slapped the man's palm away and asked angrily.
Perhaps, Chen Ling's courage is really small, and she has low self-esteem, but when she saw someone bullying Grandma Yang, she was also anxious, after all, she only had one relative, Grandma Yang, who had been dependent on each other for more than ten years, and it was impossible for her to watch Grandma Yang being bullied.
"You kid, go home quickly, grandma doesn't need you to protect you, go back quickly." Grandma Yang pulled Chen Ling behind her in a panic, lest the group of young people in front of her do something to Chen Ling.
Then, she looked at these young people and pleaded: "Little brother, from today to now, I have only sold for twelve yuan, and you want me to pay fifty yuan, I really don't have this." ”
An old man with gray hair pleaded bitterly with a group of young people who were no more than twenty years old, and this scene was really unbearable.
There are a lot of people in the vegetable market, but they just dare to be angry and dare not speak, this group of young people, in fact, are all gangsters, the leader is called Li Ji, who is rampant and domineering in the vegetable market, and has a bad reputation, offending them, basically no need to live in this area.
Once, there was a person who couldn't get used to the style of this gang of gangsters, and after saying a few words to them, he was interrupted on the spot, so even if he sympathized with Chen Ling and Grandma Yang, who would dare to really help.
"Old fellow, you know my Li Ji's rules, you can't pay the protection fee, then don't blame me for smashing your things. A young man stretched out his hand and slapped Grandma Yang in the face, not paying any attention to Grandma Yang's pleading.
This young man is Li Ji, relying on some forces in his family, he has been rampant in this area, but no one thought that this person has reached this point of being so bad that even the old man is bullied to death.
"You damn it, dare to hit grandma, I want you to apologize......" Chen Ling cried, tears kept slipping, rushed out from behind Grandma Yang, grabbed Li Ji's shirt, and his little face was full of anger.
"Damn, you little girl, let go of your dirty hands, you stained Lao Tzu's clothes. Li Ji was furious, raised his palm and pulled it down to Chen Ling's face.
"Hmph, you try to beat it, but if you hurt a hair of her, I want you to fight with your life. A cold voice suddenly rang out.
It was Chen Tie, he walked over, his eyes flashed with killing intent, and he stared at Li Ji deadly.
"You, who are you, dare to take care of my business, hehe, in this area, no one has dared to take care of my business for a long time, and it is rare to meet someone who is not afraid of death today. Li Ji's face froze, and he also stared at Chen Tie.
It's just that he is actually a little frightened now, Chen Tie's cold words just now made him feel a chill in his heart inexplicably, in his eyes, Chen Tie seemed to have his own aura, as soon as he appeared, he actually made him feel the pressure.
"No one dared to take care of your business before, but now that there is, I don't care who you are, apologize immediately, and get out, otherwise, I will break one of your legs. Chen Tie walked to Chen Ling's side, pulled her behind him, and then looked at Li Ji and said.
"Boy, who are you, you have a sick brain, dare to say such things to us Li Shao, you are looking for death. ”
"Yes, if you dare to pretend to be garlic in front of us, you will abolish him today, and you won't ask who we are. ”
…………
Before Li Ji could speak, the rest of the gangsters beside him became agitated, staring at Chen Tie viciously, and even two of them took out a folding knife from their bodies, and they slaughtered Chen Tie's posture without saying a word.
"Look, there are seven subordinates by my side, what qualifications do you have to dare to open your mouth to break one of my legs, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, otherwise, it will not be as simple as breaking your leg. ”
Li Ji stared at Chen Tie and sneered twice and said, he admitted that he was frightened by Chen Tie's momentum for a moment just now, but this is his territory, how can he easily be afraid of Chen Tie.
Chen Tie's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at these seven or eight gangsters, shook his head with a sneer, and said, "Apologize, then get out, and if you say one more nonsense, you will regret it." ”
"Damn, who do you think you are qualified to make me apologize? Li Ji's face was so gloomy that he could drip water, and he waved his hand and shouted.
The other seven thugs couldn't hold back for a long time, and immediately rushed towards Chen Tie.
