Chapter 62: Dan Niang
A petite woman in a water-blue shirt was standing in the gap between the tables and singing the famous song "Cloud Song" by Huaiyang. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Is there a special singing song in such a small shop?
She looked slightly surprised.
At this time, Aunt Xiang came to give them snacks and explained: "It is an old father and orphan daughter who lives by singing, and her life is very poor and difficult, because everyone is a fellow villager, they sometimes come to our store to sing songs...... Got you in the air? ”
"No, no." Li Wan hurriedly shook his head.
She can't say that, she'll cut off people's lives.
Aunt Xiang went out, Li Guan sat down on the stool and sandwiched a piece of red bean glutinous rice cake for Li Zhizhi.
"I can only eat another piece." Li Wan said with no doubt, he has already eaten a lot, and it is easy to accumulate food if he eats this sticky thing again.
Li Zhi took a big bite and nodded with his cheeks puffed.
"Okay, give me some time! My father's illness is just right, and we father and daughter really don't have the money to pay you back......"
"Say that every time, some grace? I've given you as long as I wanted! It's natural to repay debts, you little girl still want to repay your debts? ”
"No, no, no! We really can't come up with that much silver, you can do it......"
"No! I have to pay back the money today, five hundred taels, not a single cent. No money? Then you will pay the debt with yourself......"
There was a sudden commotion outside, mixed with the shouting of men and the cries of women.
Li Guan's tongue trembled, and he almost bit himself.
It won't be such a coincidence, just having a meal, and you can also encounter such a bloody bridge as debt collection.
Gu Chengyu and others also noticed it and put down their chopsticks one after another.
Li Wan opened the crack of the bamboo curtain and looked out, only to see three men dressed in a flowing air were pulling and pulling with the woman who sang the song, the woman cried and begged for mercy, and the guests who were eating around all looked afraid of causing trouble.
"If you know each other, go with our brother honestly, otherwise you will suffer!" One of the men, dressed in green brocade, grabbed the woman's hand and dragged her outward.
"You let go of my daughter! Robbing people's daughters in broad daylight, do you still have a royal law? An old man in shabby clothes held the lute and threw it at the man in green.
The distance between them and Li Guan and the others was actually very short, and she could even see the protruding green tendons on the old man's bony hands.
"Old thing, get out of here!" The man kicked him away with a ferocious kick.
The old man's emaciated body flew straight six or seven paces away like a kite with a broken string, and then smashed down diagonally.
"Whoa!"
Before Li Guan and the others came to their senses, the bamboo curtain in front of them had been knocked open, and the old man fell to the ground with his back against the tattered curtain.
"Ahh Wang Manqing screamed and jumped up, and was almost hit by him.
Gu Chengyu hurriedly protected her behind him.
A few people are so straightforward that they can't be more directly exposed in front of everyone.
Li Zhi was so frightened that he snuggled up to Li Guan's side.
Li Wan hugged him, still biting the chopsticks in his mouth, and frowned very sadly.
The old man curled up, lying on the ground with a mess of cups and plates, red blood oozing from his head, everyone was stunned by the thrilling scene just now, and a few guests directly threw down the silver and ran away.
Just kidding, human life is at stake, ordinary people don't dare to provoke these.
"Daddy! Daddy! Tears welled up in the eyes of the woman who sang the song, and she struggled desperately to check on the old man's condition.
Seeing the old man lying there motionless, the three men also hesitated.
Really dead? As soon as the man in green let go of his hand, the woman rushed to the old man's side, stretched out her hand and shook his shoulder: "Daddy, don't scare your daughter, wake up!" ”
At this time, Li Guan saw the woman's face clearly.
Goose egg face, willow eyebrows, tearful apricot eyes, fair skin that can be broken by blowing, petite and slender figure, even if you only wear ordinary cloth clothes, you can't cover the full chest and slender waist.
Sure enough, she is a charming beauty.
"Dan...... Danniang ......" The old man slowly opened his eyes.
It turned out that her name was Danniang.
Danniang's face was overjoyed: "Are you awake?" Are you okay? ”
"I'm fine...... the old man took the woman's hand and said sadly, "It's all ...... Daddy is useless...... Hurt you......"
"Don't say that." Danniang shook her head, and two lines of tears fell on her face, which made her look even more pitiful.
When the three men saw that the man had woken up, his face was slightly relaxed, and then he resumed his vicious appearance, and walked over to the arms of the rude Laden Niang.
"Let me go!" Danniang struggled, but unfortunately was dragged away.
The old man dragged over and grabbed one of the men's legs: "You ...... Bully...... Let go of my daughter! ”
"Dead old man!" Another man kicked him and knocked him to the ground.
The old man let out a sigh and threw himself up to hug the man's legs, no matter how they kicked him, he wouldn't let go, and bright red blood flowed from his mouth.
"Daddy, daddy......" Danniang's tears flowed down like a, and her face was full of despair.
She raised her head and suddenly noticed Li Guan and the others standing a few steps away.
They are dressed very exquisitely, followed by attendants, and they are very conspicuous among the ordinary people who are dressed ordinarily, and at first glance they are the sons and daughters of rich and noble families. The most important thing is that their expression and temperament don't look like that kind of treacherous people.
Danniang showed a hint of hope in her eyes, maybe they were willing to help her.
She turned her head and bit the back of the man's hand that grabbed her, the man let go of his hand with a painful cry, she took the opportunity to run to Li Guan, who was closest to her, and knelt down: "This young lady, please be kind and save our father and daughter!" Danniang is willing to repay you as a cow and a horse! Then he slammed it on the floor in no uncertain terms.
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Li Guan.
Gu Chengyu and Wang Manqing also looked at her.
Seeing that Li Guan and the others were extraordinary, the three men couldn't help but look at them with scruples, and stood in place without acting rashly.
"Sister......" Li Zhizhu grabbed Li Guan's hand a little timidly.
Li Wan glanced at everyone, and then soothed his little face.
Danniang was still kowtowing, knocking on the floor one by one, and her forehead was already red and swollen.
There were already whispers in the crowd.
Li Guan's face showed a little timidity, took Li Zhizhi's little hand and took two steps back, sat back on the stool at the table, and didn't look at Danniang more.
She's not going to be nosy.
These men behaved like this in broad daylight, but none of the people around them came forward, Aunt Xiang and the father and daughter were fellow villagers, and there was a lot of pity in their words when they were mentioned, but they did not come out to relieve them, which shows that these men have a bit of a background.
If she wants to save Danniang's father and daughter, she can only rely on the name of Li Mansion to suppress people. But the hidden dragon and crouching tiger in the capital, famous nobles are everywhere, and the relationship is complicated, it is difficult to guarantee that the backer behind these people is a tricky person.
As the adopted daughter of the Li family, if she wants to take care of this matter, she can only ask her mother or even her father to come forward in the end.
She finally calmed down, and she must no longer attract attention.
What's more, just based on the words just now, how did she know if this Danniang was really worthy of her rescue?
Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, she hasn't even figured out the ins and outs of things, how can she save people without knowing it.
People who get into trouble are often a nuisance themselves.
With Li Guan's attitude, the atmosphere froze for a moment.
