Chapter 54: The Bracelet of the First Plate
According to Ruoping's cold temperament, this kind of thing has always been avoidable, so she took Xiao Yong's hand and planned to go around.
I didn't know that I had just gone out a short distance, and after hearing a certain scolding from the crowd, Ruoshui suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong, sister?"
Xiao Yong didn't know what to do.
However, Ruoshui did not answer, but quickly leaned down and hurriedly explained to Xiao Yong, "Stand where you are and wait for me", and then forcibly separated the crowd and squeezed in.
Inside, in a clearing, a group of men dressed in household clothes formed a circle, punching and kicking a man with a disheveled hair on the ground.
There was a wine bottle rolling on the ground, still bubbling out, the man was full of wine, thinking that he was not lightly drunk, and he couldn't even climb up, only his mouth was still scolding vaguely.
However, it was these intermittent scolding that made Ruoshui discover that this person was actually someone she knew.
"Big brotherβ"
Desperately pushed away the two people who were blocking in front of him, Ruoshui screamed loudly and ran over, and he didn't care about the punches and kicks of those people, and suddenly pounced on the tall and strong body.
Rao was startled and stopped, and Ruoshui was still hit several times. Half of his hair was scattered, and his clothes were dirty, and he looked like an indescribable wolf. But when she saw the tall and strong man who had fallen to the ground, and the face that appeared between her arms was swollen and lost its original appearance, she immediately rushed up with anger.
"I have a peace charm from the king! Who would dare to mess around! β
Suddenly pulled out the peace charm from his sleeve, Ruoshui screamed and appeared everywhere.
The people who surrounded the beating all subconsciously took a few steps back, looked at each other, and finally a person who seemed to be the leader took another step forward and said.
"Miss Xiao, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, this person broke our girl's beloved jade bracelet, and there is no silver to compensate, so he can only be beaten."
"How much is a jade bracelet worth? Are you going to beat people to death? β
Hurriedly took out the silk cloth he was carrying from his arms, and Ruoshui wiped the blood stains on the tall and strong face in distress. The latter didn't know whether he fainted after being beaten, or was drunk, his mouth was still scolding, but his eyes had already swollen into a slit, and it seemed that he couldn't open them.
"Ha~ how much money? Our girl's jade bracelet is a rare commodity brought back from the Western Regions, and the whole body is crystal clear without a trace of variegation! At least, it will be worth three hundred taels of silver. I'm afraid this poor bastard is not worth even a fraction, even if we kill him, it won't be worth our girl's jade bracelet! β
Ordinary jade bracelets are only three or four taels at most, Ruoshui thought about paying for something, but after hearing this price at first glance, his eyes were about to pop out. Her first reaction was that she was being calculated, but before she could ask her about it, she was lying on the ground motionless like a dead dog, and she suddenly shouted.
"Stinky **! Act like a snob! Smash your bracelet today to teach you a lesson! Look down on people tomorrow! A fire has burned down your smoky building! β
It turns out that people really didn't wronged the tall and strong, this guy really dropped someone's bracelet. But this is not the most headache, when Ruoshui heard the words "Yancui Building" from his mouth, a bad premonition suddenly came to his heart.
The "stinky **" in his mouth won't be ......
"Why did you stop? Beat! Beat me to death! There are few stinky money who dare to pretend to be an uncle in front of the old lady, if you don't send you to see the king of Yama today, the old lady will not be called Liu Meier! Oops~My bracelet~"
Ruoshui raised his head suddenly, and saw a building with red pillars and green walls, and extremely vulgar decoration, in the middle of which hung a large signboard with three golden characters written "Yancui Building". And the woman who called herself Liu Mei'er stood in the corridor above the signboard, holding on to the railing and scolding while pulling the handkerchief to wipe her tears. On the exposed wrist, the red mark is clearly visible.
Yancui Building is the most famous green building in Xiangnan County, and Liu Meier is the top brand of Yancui Building, almost half of the large and small officials and major businessmen in Xiangnan County are inextricably linked with her. It's not good to offend someone who is tall and strong, and it is actually the most famous local snake that offends!
Now Ruoshui is no longer in the mood to investigate the value of the bracelet~ You must know that tall and strong is also a market gangster, although she is a dusty woman, she can be regarded as a local figure with a head and a face, and she will definitely not get along with him for no reason. I think it was the tall and strong man who was drunk and made trouble in Yancui Building, whether it was careless or deliberate, in short, he smashed someone's bracelet.
"Get out of the way, our girl said, we want to fight to the death! There are no eyes for fists and feet, the little lady has such a beautiful face, if she bumps it, the brothers will also feel distressed~"
Those few people in family clothes should be the thugs raised by Yancui Building. They have stayed in the land of fireworks for a long time, and their words and deeds are inevitably frivolous, but in any case, they did not do it immediately, which can be regarded as polite.
"Don't fight, don't fight!"
Ruoshui panicked and protected the tall and strong head and face in his arms, looked down at him, and then looked at the menacing thugs standing around, bit his lip fiercely, as if he had made some serious decision, and suddenly spoke.
"How much is that bracelet worth? I'll pay for him! β
As soon as the words came out, the people around were in an uproar, and Ruoshui didn't notice it under the tension, the tall and strong tiger body in his arms shook slightly, and the mouth that was already a little crooked was beaten, and he snorted a few times, and then tightly pursed into a line.
"Hey~ Is there really anyone willing to bleed heavily for this kid~ I said little lady, you look so beautiful, why do you have to get along with yourself? A man who can come to such a place, tsk~"
The leader was full of regret, and the meaning of the unfinished words was also extremely clear, how could a man who would drink and make trouble in and out of Yancui Building could be the object that a woman could entrust for life.
"No more nonsense! You just said that the bracelet was worth three hundred taels of silver, right? I've got three hundred taels here! You let him go, and the money will be given to you! β
As he spoke, Ruoshui took out the three crumpled silver tickets from his arms without hesitation, and stretched them straight out in front of the leader of the thugs.
"Girl ......"
The tall and strong man who had been falling into Ruoshui's arms and pretending to be dead finally couldn't bear it anymore at this moment. He barely opened his eyes and grabbed Ruoshui's hand tremblingly, trying to stop her from paying the money.
