Chapter 20: Strange

"It was true that he wanted to steal our money, but he didn't do it voluntarily, and he had already returned it to us at the time, which was one thing. If I hadn't come to save him, then there would be a corpse lying here now, and I couldn't turn a blind eye to the stakes. He told me that you were not his father, and as for who you were, I don't know, but since he said no, then I believe that you must not! Since I believe it, don't think about it today, that's the third thing. ”

"Did you hear the above three clearly?" Xie Hao's chin was slightly raised, and her eyes were arrogant and contemptuous.

Isn't that going to be good? This little girl and this little beggar are plain and life-changing, why bother?

Everyone shook their heads, in their eyes, the petite Xie Zhen was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg against a huge man.

Mrs. Xie, who had almost fainted several times today, finally squeezed in front of people, grabbed Xie Zhen's hand, and said hurriedly: "Zhen'er, you still want to go home with me!" If you want to be upset for this child, let's go back and talk to your grandfather and uncle, why bother to be strong? ”

Xie Hao held her hand and said softly: "Auntie, don't alarm your grandfather and uncle in this matter today, if they interfere in this matter, people who don't know will only be biased in favor of me, they are originally just fair and strict people, won't this harm their reputation?" ”

Mrs. Xie was stunned for a moment, she naturally knew the terrible truth of human words, but she didn't expect Xie Zhen to be so thoughtful.

Xie Zhen took the opportunity to say: "Auntie, don't worry, I am sure of this matter today, and I will never insult the reputation of the Xie family." ”

"Really?" Mrs. Xie still couldn't believe her words.

Xie Hao winked at her, "Seriously." ”

Mrs. Xie then retreated to the side with a nervous heart at Xie Zhen's signal.

A crowd of people gathered in the middle of the street was always very eye-catching, and more and more passers-by gathered out of curiosity.

Dahan knew that the more people there were, the worse the situation would be for him, so he still planned to get out as much as possible.

Xie Zhen didn't look at him but had already guessed what he was thinking at the moment, but the more anxious he was to leave, the more she wouldn't let him get his wish.

She crouched down again and lifted the little beggar up, turning her head to look at one of the people in the crowd. Of course, it's the strange and special middle-aged man.

"Uncle." She called softly, "Could you please take him to the infirmary for treatment?" I'm afraid that the delay will be too long to his injury. ”

It was only natural for a little girl to ask for help. Everyone thought this in their hearts, and not one of them felt that there was anything wrong with this.

The middle-aged man was not surprised in the slightest, for he knew that she was a very smart little girl.

The middle-aged man nodded slightly and walked out of the crowd. walked to Xie Zhen's side.

Xie Hao sniffed without a trace, but didn't smell anything, the middle-aged man beside her seemed to be an extremely clean-loving person.

But this middle-aged man who loves cleanliness did not show the slightest embarrassment, bent down and easily picked up the injured little beggar.

The moment he stood up straight, Xie Hao seemed to see something slip out of his sleeve, but when he looked closely. Nothing was seen except his slightly swaying sleeves.

Could it be her delusion? Xie Hao frowned slightly, and then listened to the middle-aged man say lightly:

"I'll be waiting for you in the front of the hospital."

He obviously has full confidence in Xie Hao, and believes that she will be able to solve the scoundrel in front of him perfectly.

Xie Hao smiled slightly, "Okay." ”

The middle-aged man stopped talking, and turned to walk towards the crowd with the little beggar in his arms.

Of course, it is impossible for the big man to watch the middle-aged man take away the little beggar.

He let out a sudden roar of rage, and then lunged forward. His fist was raised high and slammed into the middle-aged man's vest.

There was a burst of exclamations from the crowd.

Xie Zhen's heart also jumped.

The middle-aged man didn't look back, and he didn't know if he didn't perceive the danger, or if he didn't feel the need to turn back.

He didn't look back, but something soft burst out of his neckline like lightning. Stand on his shoulders and raise his head high!

Snake!

Everyone gasped and screamed back.

The big man's fist had smashed into the middle-aged man's vest, but this punch had lost its original strength and became soft, not much better than a ball of cotton, such a fist was not like a fight, but like a tickle again.

The middle-aged man obviously didn't pay attention to this fluttering and soft fist, he only shook his shoulders slightly, and let out a soft whistle from his mouth.

The snake hissed and stuck out its tongue. The snake twisted, and suddenly disappeared again.

The big man was stunned, and everyone was silent.

The snake appeared suddenly, and disappeared quickly. It's as if it's their delusion.

But is this really their delusion?

This is certainly not their delusion.

Xie Zhen's mood at this time was unusually light, because she had already seen the ring lines on the snake's body.

Krait!

It's a krait!

There was a conviction in her heart that the krait must have hatched from the snake egg that day! As for the details, she must ask him well!

Xie Hao immediately wanted to catch up with the middle-aged man, but she couldn't do so, because there was still someone waiting for her to clean up. Although this man is no different from a tiger with a tooth extracted now.

She turned to look at the big man.

Although the middle-aged man had walked far away, the big man still stood in place, his legs trembling constantly. It was obviously winter, but he was sweating profusely, and the sweat flowed down line by line and hit the ground, and some of it flowed into his eyes, and the salty sweat stimulated his eyes, but he didn't wipe it, as if someone had clicked on the acupoint.

Of course, he wasn't really pointed, but he was undoubtedly really scared by the krait.

"What are you still looking at? Now it's my turn to settle accounts with you. Xie Zhen said coldly.

Accounts...... Accounts? Accounts!

The two words of settling accounts suddenly turned into a talisman, and the big man turned around with a pale face and knelt down with a plop.

"Good man! Oh no, heroine, hero, spare your life! Spare your life! ”

He begged for mercy in a trembling voice and prostrated again and again.

Xie Zhen frowned, not knowing what kind of madness he was making.

She didn't know that the big man originally suspected that she was the "poisonous boy" who used Gu poison in the area of Miao Jiang, and only then did she see the middle-aged man's ability to drive snakes, and she only thought that she and the middle-aged man were in the same group. So he strengthened his guess, so he begged for mercy.

In addition to such a change in the scene, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

Although Xie Zhen didn't know what he was doing, she didn't want to spare him lightly no matter what. Therefore, he sneered: "Spare you? Even if you call me my aunt today, it's useless! I have to arrest you and go to the yamen!" ”

The big man's expression changed again, and he became very relaxed, as if Xie Zhen was going to send him to the yamen was a great gift.

He kowtowed his head three times, and said with a happy face: "Thank you Miss for not killing, thank you Miss for sparing her life." ”

The crowd was in an uproar. Isn't there something wrong with this big Hammer? Why has your attitude changed a few times in the past few moments? The little girl wanted to send him to see the official, but not only was he not angry, but he seemed to be begging for it?

It's weird, it's weird. Is there such a strange person in the world?

Xie Zhen also felt inexplicable, so she had to ask the people next to her to invite the people from the government to come.

The people around are reluctant to go, they are here to see the show, not to run errands?

Xie Zhen was a little angry in her heart, she really couldn't figure out why some people were so indifferent and selfish?

But although she was angry, she did not show the slightest displeasure on her face, but raised a very well-behaved smile and made another request.

Finally, a few young people hesitantly agreed, they couldn't bear to refuse this brave and lovely girl.

Mrs. Xie stepped forward and put her arms around Xie Zhen's shoulders, her heart was both excited and proud - she had never seen such a bold and brave girl as Zhen'er!

Mrs. Xie decided that she must have a good talk with Master Xie when she returns home.

As soon as the people in the government heard that someone was committing violence, they didn't dare to slack off for a moment and immediately rushed here.

The situation at the scene was very strange, the big man who was accused of being a prisoner knelt on the ground without any words to defend himself. Seeing them is even happier than seeing loved ones.

At this time, the arresters couldn't help but wonder if someone had falsely reported the case, so they not only had to take away the big man, but also the young people who had just gone to report the case, saying that they wanted them to assist in the investigation.

Those young people were not stupid, the reason why they went to the yamen to report the case for Xie Zhen was just because of a momentary impulse. But of course, the yamen is not a fun place, and a strange and lovely girl is not enough for them to go to the yamen to suffer for a few days.

So the young men pointed to Xie Zhen in unison.

"It's this little girl who reported the case."

Only then did the catchers notice Xie Zhen, who had been ignored by them on the side.

Xie Zhen smiled slightly and said, "It's me." ”

The catchers frowned slightly, with a look of displeasure on their faces, obviously nothing Xie Hao said could attract their attention. Isn't what a child says child's play?

Mrs. Xie immediately said: "It was a case reported by us, you can arrest him back for interrogation first." If there is anything you don't understand that needs to summon us, come to Xie Fu in Tanghua Hutong to find us. ”

The catchers were stunned, and no one came back to their senses for a while.

Mrs. Xie then added another sentence and said, "You can also come to the Xie Mansion in Baiyang Hutong." ”

In the Xie Mansion in Tanghua Hutong, Mrs. Xie lives. In the Xie Mansion in Baiyang Hutong lived a scholar of Xie University.

At this moment, the catchers finally reacted, and their attitudes changed one hundred and eighty degrees.

"We can just detain people, where do you dare to bother Madame?" The catchers nodded their heads, and said with concern and annoyance: "Fang must have frightened Mrs. and Miss a lot, right?" The little ones are so damn late. ”

Mrs. Xie lightly told them not to mind.

The catchers then descended the slope, and one of them straightened up and regained his swagger, turned and stretched out his hand to point around the crowd. He scolded: "What the hell is going on with you? Madame and Miss are in danger and don't know how to report the crime immediately? If it is delayed for a long time, what happens to Madame and Miss, which of you can afford it? ”

The people were indignant, but they did not speak. Isn't arguing with the officials asking for trouble? However, I really didn't expect that this lady and young lady were actually from the Xie family, no wonder they had such guts.

At this time, they all felt that Xie Hao's bold righteousness was justified, after all, the children of Mrs. Xie's family were always different from ordinary people like them.

Xie Hao didn't speak, she knew that it was much more powerful for Mrs. Xie to speak in such a scene than her. Moreover, Mrs. Xie is more able to cope with such an occasion than her, she just wants to go to the medical hall in front of her quickly, look at the seriously injured little beggar, and look at the middle-aged man with a poisonous snake.

She gently pulled Mrs. Xie's sleeve and whispered a word to Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie raised her willow eyebrows, looked at her and shook her head slightly, obviously disagreeing with her idea.

Xie Zhen's mind is very resolute.

"Auntie, just let me go and have a look, I'll go back later." She said, "If you don't feel at ease, I can let Yunlai and Zhu Jin pick me up when I return home, and I will wait for them in the medical hall in front." ”

Mrs. Xie still felt that it was too dangerous to let her stay here alone.

Xie Zhen blinked and said softly: "Auntie, since this matter has come to this point, I think you should go back and discuss it with your uncle first, he knows better than us about the affairs in the yamen, although he doesn't need to come forward in person in this matter, as long as he can show a little concern, the eldest lord in the yamen will not dare to be perfunctory, and we can get justice for the little beggar!" Besides, I just asked the uncle to send the person to the hospital, and now if I don't explain, won't I make the uncle wait in vain? Besides, I see that the little beggar is not lightly injured, so wouldn't it be better to bring him to the house to recuperate? He was forced to steal at a young age, and he must have suffered a lot of hardships, so we should do our best to help him! ”

What she said was very reasonable, even if Mrs. Xie wanted to refute it, she couldn't find any reason to object, so she had to nod, repeatedly told her to be careful, and finally handed her her money bag, and then watched her walk out of the crowd.

There was indeed a medical hall more than ten meters in front, Xie Zhen walked in without hesitation, and found the middle-aged man effortlessly.

"Is he okay?"

When they met again, Xie Hao didn't say anything polite, and asked him directly about the little beggar's situation.

The middle-aged man was not angry, and said lightly: "I can't die." ”

There are several situations in which he can't die, but he only said these three words, as if he only needed to guarantee this one thing, and as for whether the little beggar's injury was light or severe, itchy or painful, it had nothing to do with him.

But Xie Hao really relieved herself after hearing these three words, she knew that as long as he said that the little beggar couldn't die, the little beggar would definitely not die.
