Suddenly such a person fell out of the middle of the road, frightened a few people passing by, they avoided the bookstore, and when Acacia turned his head to see that the person who fell on the ground was getting up, as if he didn't know the pain, he quickly rushed towards the door of the wine store, and stopped a few people who were coming out.

It was a few teenagers, around fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing brocade clothes, and at first glance they were young masters of good families, especially those standing behind, who knew their status at a glance, and they were not easy to provoke. They looked at the man who rushed in front of them, their faces were full of disdain, and the one who was the leader didn't know what to say, only to see that the man immediately knelt down and raised his hands towards them, as if begging for mercy.

The two guys in the bookstore had already arrived at the door to watch the excitement, and the little boy behind the counter also ran out, squeezing Qi Xiangsi out of the door, where was there still half a minute of confusion and sleepiness on his face, and there was only excitement left.

Qi Xiangsi smiled, no matter where he was, there was no shortage of people watching the excitement, and after a while, there were many people around, and the sound at the door of the wine shop also faintly reached his ears.

"Li Gongzi, I really don't have any money, if I can find a copper coin in my pocket, I will thunder!" The man looked to be in his twenties, his clothes were simple and patched, he had just rolled around on the ground, and he was covered in ashes, and he knelt in front of the teenagers and swore an oath, his face was extremely sincere.

"Are you a gambling house is a good hall, you don't have to pay it back if you don't have money." The young man known as Li Gongzi raised his foot and stepped on his shoulder, and smiled, "You know the rules of the gambling house, it's been more than three days."

The man's face was immediately full of fear: "Li Gongzi, I can't live without hands, I can't live without hands." ”

"If you don't have a hand, you won't gamble anymore." Li Gongzi bent down and patted his face, the man suddenly thought of something, broke free from Li Gongzi's feet and knelt and crawled towards the young man behind, hugging the young man in gorgeous clothes like a life-saving straw, "Little prince, little prince spare your life, I will definitely pay back this money, I will definitely pay it back!" ”

The young man's face was not warm, his brows were furrowed in his cold expression, and when he saw him grabbing his feet, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes: "Let go." ”

The man didn't give up, and the young man looked at the hem of his clothes that he had grabbed and had black marks, and his face sank even more: "Guan Bu, cut off his hand for this king." ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and then two guards came out of the wine shop and took him directly to the door, and the knife he drew cut straight at his wrist, causing everyone around him to gasp, and the little boy next to Qi Xiangsi covered his eyes first, for fear of looking at some bloody picture.

"Little prince, don't cut off my hands, don't cut off my hands." The man's frightened crotch was wet, he cried and begged bitterly, and fell to his knees weakly.

The guards pressed him to the ground, pinching his hands to make it easier to chop, and the man shuddered and shouted: "I have money, I have money, I also have a sister, she is fourteen years old this year, she is very beautiful, little prince, Li Gongzi, I will sell her to you, count, count it as a gambling debt." ”

"You owe thirty taels of silver to the gambling house, and the interest has rolled over three times in three days, and now it is seventy-five taels."

"It's worth it, it's worth it, the mother in Willow Lane also said that she was worth the price, Li Gongzi, she was worth it!" The man's gaze kept looking at the knife, sweat dripping down his forehead, and the trembling Adam's apple leaked his feelings.

The onlookers sighed again, which did not affect the man begging them like a dog, Li Gongzi turned his head to look at the little prince, only for a few breaths, the little prince opened his mouth and said a good word.

The man was relieved and wanted to withdraw his already numb hand, but the little prince directly beat him to hell in the next sentence, and the knife fell as he spoke, and the knife directly cut off one of the man's hands without anyone expecting it.

"Cut off his right hand."

The knife was so fast that the blood barely splashed out, and I saw the man holding his wrist and falling to the ground in pain, and the blood was stained, soaking his clothes.

The man screamed so badly that the onlookers were frightened and avoided it, Qi Xiangsi looked at the severed hand, but there was another extremely bloody picture in her mind, four years ago, she took her younger brother to hide under the bed, and saw her father have his arm cut off.

The little boy turned his head to look at Qi Xiangxi, whose face was suddenly pale, and stretched out his hand to pull her clothes, but he just touched her and sat down directly, covering his chest and panting, as if he couldn't get up at any time and was going to die.

"I didn't touch her." The little boy looked at the two guys innocently, facing the door, Qi Xiangsi's reaction also attracted the attention of the teenagers, and one of them pestled Li Gongzi, "Hey, look at the scare people." ”

"She's a girl." Li Gongzi kicked the man, still with that smile on his face, "I'll send someone to your house to find your sister, if you dare to deceive people and annoy the little prince, it's not as simple as losing a hand." ”

The man still had the strength to reply, he was leaning there with a pale face, and his eyes did not dare to move except nodding.

Several teenagers left, and the latter kicked the broken hand directly into the street, the laughter was mocking and rampant, and the little prince who ordered the chopping off of the hand came out with an indifferent expression, completely ignoring the man's life and death.

Here, Yushi hurriedly helped Acacia to the side and sat down: "Girl, you sit down for a while." ”

"I'm fine." Acacia grabbed her arm and gasped, finally feeling more comfortable, looked up at the boy with a concerned face, and smiled at him, "How many of those books sell?" ”

"Fifteen will give you ten taels." The boy glanced at the middle-aged man behind the counter at a loss, and saw that he didn't say no, and then nodded himself, "It's ten taels." ”

Qi Xiangsi asked Jade to pay for the book, did not linger any longer, and soon left the bookstore.

After walking a long way, the smell of blood dissipated in his consciousness, the noise of the street market was still around, and the air was the smell of incense and paper talismans, Qi Xiangsi slowed down, and his heart finally calmed down.

"Girl." Jade was worried that she had just been frightened, "It's better now." ”

"Much better." Qi Xiangsi looked forward, and the fragrance of wontons and onions wafted from the mouth of the alley not far away, and he was about to walk over, when laughter came from an alley next to Qi Xiangsi.

The alley, where only two people could walk side by side, was a little dark, and there was a lot of debris, and a little boy was huddled in the pile, and in front of him stood a couple of older boys, laughing and throwing small stones at him.

The little boy only knew how to hide, holding his head and hiding in the debris, his body shrunk into a ball, one of the boys directly reached out and dragged him out of the debris, the little boy hurriedly reached out and grabbed the broken basket, pulled out a bunch of things, and caused them to laugh.

"What are you doing?"

A completely different voice from them came, and several boys turned their heads to look, and hurriedly ran away from the other end of the alley without thinking about Qi Xiangsi and a few people, and the boy who was stuck in the pile of debris also wanted to escape, but his body was stuck in the basket, and he couldn't get out, and the look on his face was anxious and afraid.

Qi Xiangsifu leaned down and stretched out his hand to him, with a kind smile on his face: "Don't be afraid. ”

The little boy refused to come and take her hand, only struggled hard, and finally struggled out of the basket but slipped back after stepping on the stick on the ground, Qi Xiangsi reached out and grabbed him, firmly grasping to prevent him from falling back: "Stand firm." ”

The little boy stood firm and broke free from her grasp, and finally did not run away, but lowered his head, and pulled at the corner of his dirty old clothes nervously, and his face was dirty and still had tears on his face.

Qi Xiangsi squatted down, took out a handkerchief from his cuffs and wiped it on his face, the little boy subconsciously avoided it, Acacia smiled, grabbed him and wiped his face: "They often bully you?" ”

"I don't have any money." The little boy shook his head, he didn't ask for money when he came out today, and the only half of the steamed bun just now was also snatched away by them.

Qi Xiangsi looked at the scar on the skinny little hand, and said softly: "Do you know how to do it so that they don't bully you?" ”

The little boy looked up at her and quickly lowered his head, Qi Xiangsi took a handkerchief and tied his scratched wrist, word by word: "Hit back." ”

The noisy alley outside was quiet, and Jade saw that the girl and a beggar were walking so close, so she suppressed the idea of wanting to stop it, and pulled the little girl to stand at the entrance of the alley, blocking the outside from looking in.

"If they bully you, you will fight back, once, twice, even if you are covered in bruises, you will fight back, so that they will not dare to bully you again."

The little boy looked up at her, probably thinking that her words were too incredible, and he forgot to lower his head, and the clear eyes on his thin little face were distressing, as if asking her: Is this really okay?

"If you hide, they'll bully you even harder." Qi Xiangsi looked at him, and his voice suddenly deepened, "Are you afraid of death?" ”

The little boy shrank back, of course he was afraid of death.

"If they continue to bully you like this, one day you will either be beaten to death by them or starved to death from starvation." Qi Xiangsi's expression was cold, almost stern, "You can't even protect your own things, what can you do to live!" ”

The little boy looked at her stunned: "How do you know." ”

"Because everyone is the same, it's not that you retreat from this world, which will let you live unharmed." Qi Xiangsi gently removed the branches hanging on his clothes, she once fought with two beggars for a steamed bun, and finally she smashed their teeth with a stone and hung all over the body to win, since then she has fought with others a lot, and later, no one in that area dared to provoke her and A Ying again.

Qi Xiangsi handed him a handful of copper coins: "This is your money." ”

The little boy's eyes lit up when he saw the copper coin, and he muttered, "My money." ”

"yes, your money." Qi Xiangsi looked at him firmly, her words didn't sound easy, it was even more difficult to do, but no matter how difficult it was, it couldn't be as difficult as the status quo.

The little boy couldn't help but tighten the copper coin in his hand, and was about to say thank you, when Qi Minlan's mocking voice came from the mouth of the alley: "Miss's body is a beggar's life, I think you are only worthy of being a beggar." ”
