Chapter 043: Saving People from the Storm
"Wait, I'll see."
Dongfang Ke signaled to stop, Ruan Liuyan had to watch him talk to the hawker from the side, the hawker was an uncle surnamed Zhou, very enthusiastic about people, after a while, the two became familiar with each other, Dongfang Ke had an extra knife in his hand, he actually wanted to learn carving from Uncle Zhou.
Ruan Liuyan thought that he was interested in taking a look at it at will, who knew that he really wanted to learn, this "uncle" wanted to do something, and I am afraid that no one in the world would dare to stop him, so she could only stay by his side and watch him operate the knife.
Mo Xian bought the veil back, and also bought some dried fruit specialties with parental characteristics here, Uncle Zhou found a place for them, and the three of them sat next to each other at a square table made of wood, Ruan Liuyan looked around boredly, and listened to Dongfang Ke learn art from Uncle Zhou from time to time. Money can make ghosts grind, Dongfang Ke is generous, Uncle Zhou took the money, and naturally taught him wholeheartedly, he was already smart, and he mastered the skills of engraving in a short time.
But after watching it for a long time, I really didn't see what Dongfang Ke wanted to carve out, and she was bored, and she began to lie on the table and stare at the movements in his hands, and after a while, she began to pull the corners of the other party's clothes, and her eyes looked forward to it: "Since you are here to learn this, then let Moxian accompany me around?" I promise not to run around. β
She deliberately made this pitiful look, the purpose was to make Dongfang Ke loosen his mouth and agree, who knew that Dongfang Ke glanced at her and put down everything in his hand, "I already know how to engrave, let's go." β
β¦β¦
So in Ruan Liuyan's full of resentment, the two started walking again, this time she said that she would not hold each other's arms, Dongfang Ke only did not allow her to leave when she was annoyed with him, so she didn't care much, and even took the initiative to drag the slender hand in front of her and put it into the palm of her hand.
Ruan Liuyan tried to break away, but there was a touch of green on the street, Dongfang Ke quickly fished her over, and the person who rushed out threw himself on the ground, and when he looked at it, it was a girl in green clothes, she was unkempt, and she had to run when she got up.
"Stop! You little is still running! Run again and see if I don't break your legs! Ruan Liuyan came out of Dongfang Ke's arms, and saw that several fierce men caught up with the green-shirted woman, and the two rudely pulled her up and was about to take her back, and the pedestrians on both sides of the street were shocked by this change, pointing around this group of people, but no one dared to step forward to stop them.
"Stinky, you dare to bite me!" A strong man wailed, his face was fierce, and he slapped the woman with his hand, and the woman was beaten by this brute force and fell to the ground.
"Stop, brute!"
The woman's crisp scolding voice was abrupt, everyone was alarmed by this stopping sound, and following the reputation, I saw a woman wearing a veil and a beautiful figure looking at the strong man, the man next to her was slender, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and stared at the audience coldly at the moment, his eyes were cold and cold, and people inexplicably dared not commit blasphemy.
"Who are you? Dare to care about our Baihualou's gossip? The gray-clothed man at the head looked them up and down, and saw that the two of them were dressed and behaved well, so he asked. Ruan Liuyan didn't have a good impression of these people, and said coldly at the moment: "Beasts don't deserve to know!" How has this woman sinned against you, that you should do this to her? β
"Big brother, this woman dares to scold us-" A strong man said indignantly, and the man in gray raised his hand to stop him from saying more. After all, he has seen the world, this woman dares to be so arrogant, either there is someone behind her who has a background, or she is leaning on this person next to her, if she is really a dignitary or something, then Baihualou really has to speak well.
Thinking so, the man in gray clenched his fists, "This lady doesn't know, the green-shirted girl on the ground was bought by our Baihualou with money, who knew that she dared to run away with the money today, the bustard's mother ordered us to chase us, and several of us were also ordered to do things, and please don't embarrass our little ones." This person said sincerely, Ruan Liuyan snorted coldly, and went straight past them to help the woman on the ground, the green-shirted woman lowered her eyebrows and cried non-stop.
What to do? Ruan Liuyan looked at Dongfang Ke, sensing the meaning revealed in her gaze, Dongfang Ke frowned slightly, but for a moment, he nodded at the ink string on the side. Mo Xian received the message and stepped forward to speak: "Let people go back and tell your bustard mother, my son-in-law and wife will redeem her." β
Ransom? The gray-clothed man's eyes rolled, and he laughed on his face, and quickly ordered someone to run away to report the news, he had a smile on his face and wanted to get close to Ruan Liuyan and others, but Dongfang Ke didn't dare to get close, Ruan Liuyan was a female dependent, and he didn't dare to harass him, only Mo Xian stood coldly aside, and as soon as the gray-clothed man approached, he got a cold glance from Mo Xian, walked around, and finally returned to his gang of men in a gray manner.
Ruan Liuyan helped the green-shirted woman to the square table and sat down, took out a silk towel to clean the dust on the other party's face, and she comforted the other party: "Don't be afraid, they don't dare to be rude to you anymore." Consciously wearing a veil to communicate with people is impolite, Ruan Liuyan took off the veil, the woman was still crying, her hands on the woman's shoulders, she had to continue to comfort the other party: "Don't cry, what we just said to help you redeem yourself is a number, you don't have to worry about anything, they don't dare to bully you anymore." β
When had Dongfang Ke ever seen her so gentle, and the woman who put away the spikes all over her body was almost reluctant to look away for a moment. Sensing his gaze, Ruan Liuyan was a little unnatural, the woman opposite was still sobbing, she had to continue to say words of comfort to her, just when she was comforting and asked the woman's name and who else was in the family, the woman in green shirt was finally willing to raise her head, and at that moment, Ruan Liuyan obviously felt that the other party's eyes lit up when he saw his face.
"What, you know me?"
Touching his face, Ruan Liuyan asked. The green-shirted woman shook her head, the unnaturalness in her eyes was covered up by her, and then she only heard her say timidly: "Back to Mrs., the little woman doesn't know Mrs...."
"Ma'am, our people are back!"
The man in gray shouted, interrupting the conversation. Ruan Liuyan got up when he heard this, "How do you bustard mothers come back?" β
The man in gray raised his hand and spread his five fingers, "Our Baihualou spent five taels to buy this girl back, but halfway through, we asked someone to carefully teach and teach the flowers to go more than fifty taels, if Mrs. wants to help her redeem herself, naturally we can't let Baihualou lose money." The bustard's mother said that the minimum must be paid 50 taels of silver, and if there is less than a penny, you can't leave! β
"You're talking nonsense..."
The green-shirted woman was obviously excited, Ruan Liuyan turned around and held her down, "It's okay, you don't have to worry about us." β
Dongfang Ke nodded slightly, Mo Xian stepped forward to give the silver, the man in gray took the silver ticket, and happily presented the deed of sale of the woman in the green shirt and led the people away, and the crowd of onlookers saw that there was no excitement to see, and they all dispersed. These people went back and forth, and before leaving, there was no shortage of sarcastic and jealous people, and they said that Dongfang Ke and others were stupid and had a lot of money, and they were so rich and rich that they spent fifty taels to ransom a dusty woman. Of course, except for the green-shirted woman present who heard these words, those present only didn't hear them.
Ruan Liuyan wanted to save this woman because she understood the pain of being bullied, and the misery when she couldn't solve the problem of food and clothing, and the woman in green shirt was insulted and beaten in front of her, and she couldn't stand by and watch. And the reason why Dongfang Ke asked Mo Xian to come forward to solve it was because Ruan Liuyan wanted to save him, and the country under his feet belonged to him, and it was his people who bullied others and were humiliated and beaten.
In any case, Ruan Liuyan consciously owed Dongfang Ke a favor, so on the way back to the inn, she was much more polite to Dongfang Ke in everything. Because she knew that if it weren't for Dongfang Ke and she didn't know martial arts, with her ability, it would be impossible to rescue people so smoothly. The group returned to the inn, settled the woman's room, and let her bathe and change her clothes, and then she accompanied the woman to dinner.
The room was already set up with good wine and food, Ruan Liuyan sat at the table and waited for a while, the woman in the green shirt changed her clothes and came out from behind the screen, Ying Ying walked to her and bowed, "Thank you Madame for saving your life, the little woman has nothing to repay, and she is willing to repay Madame by being a cow and a horse in this lifeββ"
"Hurry up." Ruan Liuyan helped her up, "I don't know what your name is?" What should I call you. β
Hearing Ruan Liuyan's question, the green-shirted woman smiled obediently, and then lightly opened her lips: "Mrs. Hui, the little woman's name is Yuyu." β
