Chapter IV: Protection Fees

"It looks like you've thrown what I've said out of the clouds!" Mu Yang shook his head lightly, "That's why you are in your current state of mind!" ”

"What exactly did you tell me in the morning?" Xu Lu hesitated for a while, and finally asked.

"Don't let your emotions dictate your actions!" Mu Yang replied very competently, and then kept silent.

Hearing this, Xu Lu was like a thunderbolt from the sky, her brain was buzzing, she is a rational person, she often thinks about some philosophical questions about life, thinking about what happened today, isn't it because she didn't let her emotions control her behavior that led to her current sad state of mind!

At this moment, Xu Lu was no longer so worried, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked at Muyang quietly.

Seeing that Xu Lu seemed to have recovered a little, Mu Yang smiled brightly: "It's a pleasure to see you again, my name is Mu Yang, Mu of bathing, Yang of the sun!" ”

Muyang knew that judging from Xu Lu's performance today, he should have forgotten his name a long time ago, and it would not hurt to introduce himself again.

Xu Lu was stunned for a moment, showing a hint of apology, she had indeed forgotten Muyang's name, so she had to respond politely: "My name is Xu Lu, Dew's Dew!" ”

"Thank you for the bun you gave me today!" Mu Yang spoke again, "Although it relieves my hunger a little, it is already a lifesaver for me, and the dripping water should be reported by the spring!" ”

Seeing Muyang mention the matter of repaying her kindness again, Xu Lu became numb, but fortunately, she had a good literacy, suppressed the depression in her heart, and said, "Then how are you going to repay us!" ”

"I don't know!" Mu Yang shrugged his shoulders, "You make a request, I will definitely do what I can do!" ”

"You're very angry!" Xu Lu was a little noncommittal, but since Muyang repeatedly mentioned that she wanted to repay the favor, she still decided to give Muyang a chance to perform, "Since you say so, then get us some money!" ”

"Money?" Mu Yang was slightly stunned, and asked with some confusion, "What is that?" Is it the kind of paper that you can exchange for buns in the morning? ”

He had been coming to the city from the village for a month, and he had heard of money for a long time, but he had never been exposed to money, so he didn't know what money really looked like, so he had such a foolish question.

This time, not only Xu Lu, but even the aunt next to her was surprised, the young man in front of him didn't even know the money, and he still wanted to repay it.

Looking at Xu Lu's exaggerated expression, Mu Yang knew that his problem was very ignorant, and said with a smile: "In my village, there is no such thing as money!" ”

Xu Lu was silent, she was thinking, was it right or wrong to take out so much money to help Muyang in front of her at that time.

"You need money?" Mu Yang asked cautiously.

"Of course!" Xu Lu said with some annoyance, "Living in the present, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all maintained by money, and ......" Xu Lu did not continue, she thought of her seriously ill old father at home, in fact, her concept of money is not strong, but her mother died early, her father was seriously ill, and she had to take on the responsibility of treating her father.

Moreover, with her current meager salary, it is indeed difficult to take on this responsibility, so money is very important to Xu Lu.

"Although I don't know what you have about the steamed buns you invited me to eat in the morning, I won't break my promise, even those steamed buns will help me very little!" Muyang opened his mouth, very indifferently, as if he didn't realize that he had told a big joke.

Xu Lu's nerves twitched again, if it weren't for her good temperament, I am afraid she would have been furious again, but she was relieved to think that Muyang was a person who didn't even know the importance of money.

"Are you okay to do now?" Xu Lu asked rhetorically.

Mu Yang shook his head.

"Then help me sell something!" Xu Lu pointed to some of the trinkets on the stall, which were another source of income for her in addition to her salary.

Mu Yang looked at the jewelry on the stall, nodded slightly, stepped over the stall, and stood side by side with Xu Lu.

At this time, the customers were also in twos and threes, and they didn't ask the price, they all took the jewelry in their hands and played with it for a while, maybe they saw that it was cheap, and then threw them on the stall, smiled apologetically at Xu Lu, and turned away.

At this time, Mu Yang didn't pay attention to the customers who were in twos and threes, but looked at the good-looking jewelry on the stall attentively, these jewelry were either earrings, necklaces, or bracelets, from the touch, they were completely stone and glass.

After touching it for nearly ten minutes, Mu Yang gradually showed a smile, and he finally discovered some of the secrets of the stones.

However, at this moment, a rough voice suddenly sounded: "Lao Tzu wants all these things!" ”

This shout immediately attracted many people to watch, only to see a man with a meaty face, holding a cigar in his mouth, showing his breasts openly, domineering and leaking.

Mu Yang suddenly raised his head, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and after casually looking at the group of people in front of him, he didn't say anything, and continued to lower his head and play with the jewelry.

Xu Lu looked at the group of men in front of her, she couldn't believe the words of this rugged man, looking at his appearance, like a snake on the ground, how could she buy something in such an inconspicuous stall as her, the only explanation was that these people were here to find fault.

"What are you going to do?" Xu Lu asked quietly, but no one knew that her heart had already risen to her throat.

"What for?" The rugged man Zhang Yi sneered, he was entrusted to come here to find fault.

"I heard that business has been good lately!" Zhang Yi smiled weirdly, "I'm here to congratulate you in advance!" ”

"What does it matter to you whether the business is good or bad!" Xu Lu frowned slightly, and said coldly, her recent business is very bad, these people ridicule each other, what do they want.

"This girl is spicy!" One of the attendants suddenly shouted, "It's the boss's favorite type!" ”

"Hahaha......" Zhang Yi patted his round belly, his eyes looked at Xu Lu, a little salivating, this girl was inconspicuous at first glance, however, the closer the distance, the more he looked at it, the more he was moved, and there was an urge to make him surrender.

Fortunately, he was a fifth-class martial artist, and with a slight shake of his head, he threw out those vain thoughts, and he clearly remembered the purpose of his coming.

"Do you know that I take care of the stalls in this square!" Zhang Yi touched his chin and looked at Xu Lu with some meaning, as if to say that you understand what you mean.

"You want protection money?" Although Xu Lu has not experienced strong winds and waves, she still knows some common sense, and Zhang Yi said that, naturally because of this reason.

"The girl is really smart!" Zhang Yi seemed to look at Xu Lu with appreciation, "The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, the girl is so smart, she must know what to do!" ”

"Yes!" Xu Lu responded.

Zhang Yi immediately smiled, but Xu Lu's next words made him angry, "It's a pity that I don't have any money!" ”

"Bold!" The entourage who spoke just now suddenly became angry, "Don't be embarrassed!" ”

Xu Lu was about to get angry, when Mu Yang's inopportune voice suddenly came: "Interrupt, I want to ask a question?" ”

At this time, Zhang Yi noticed Mu Yang squatting on the ground, and his entourage also noticed him, and without waiting for those people to get angry, Mu Yang took the lead and said: "I want to ask, what does the protection fee mean?" ”

Zhang Yi frowned, glaring angrily at Mu Yang, this kid is here to stir up trouble, dare to question him like this in person, and don't ask him what Zhang Yi is doing.

"It's just to pay!" Xu Lu responded angrily, she was really a little convinced of Muyang, at this tense moment, he was still in the mood to joke.

However, Xu Lu also thought of Muyang's feat in the morning at this time, and with his own strength, he easily knocked down five strong men, as if those men were still martial artists.

Xu Lu felt in his heart, if Mu Yang could help him get rid of the few annoying guys in front of him, it could prove that Mu Yang's strength was still good, since the latter insisted on repaying the favor, then let him protect himself.

"Money?" Muyang stood up straight, looked at Xu Lu with some puzzlement, and said, "Isn't Sister Lulu without money?" ”

"Not at all!" Xu Lu couldn't help but be angry, "Don't say I don't have it, even if I have it, I can't give it to them, that's my father's life-saving money!" ”
