Chapter 8: The Pasta Stand in a Small Shed

Li Xiangru has also grown up now, and his appearance has changed a lot. If it weren't for people who knew him very well, few would recognize him. It's just that facing Wang Qing like this will be a little troublesome, and he doesn't care. At that time, not many people knew the inside story, and there were very few people who really tracked it down. He also has the identity of a disciple of the academy, and even his background has been registered in the government.

It's good to have a backer, and he is also a closed disciple of Master Zhou, the head of the Goose Lake Academy, the head of the four major academies of the empire. Maybe this time it will cause some trouble, but it's just a little trouble.

His purpose is, of course, to collect debts, but he chooses to finish one small thing first and then do something else. For him, it's a very small thing to do now, and he doesn't even have to kill people himself.

Murder, of course, had, he was born in the barracks. If it weren't for survival, he certainly wouldn't want to choose to kill. It was a cruel disregard for life, but the background of the times made these killings extremely normal, and people would be considered fools if they didn't kill people in the barracks.

Li Xiangru opened the umbrella and walked back slowly, walking to the small shed where noodles were eaten the day before yesterday.

The rain continued to fall from the sky, and there were signs that it was getting worse and worse.

The ugly lady sat there tidying up the stove, and she carefully wiped down the simple dishes, trying hard to clean the simple stall.

Inside the shed, two diners were slowly eating pasta, complaining about the damn weather.

Wan'er wore a coat and curled up slightly in the corner. The big flickering eyes were also slightly tired and slightly squinted, and they were in a daze. She also doesn't like rainy days, as long as it rains, the business of their noodle stall will be bad, and bad business means that the little brothers in the family may have to face hunger. Brother Ming was injured in the leg by a bad guy a few days ago when he was doing work outside to help, and now he can only lie at home. Although Brother Douzi came out of them, he himself was often busy with things and was not very able to take care of them. Sister Ugly Niang didn't want them to tell Brother Douzi, alas...... Brother Ming's medical expenses are still a lot.

Wan'er was very melancholy...... was so melancholy that Li Xiangru didn't notice it when he came in.

"Boss, bring me a bowl of green onion noodles. Li Xiangru put away his umbrella, found a table that could not float in the rain as much as possible, and sat down, facing Wan'er in the corner.

"Hey...... Good. The ugly lady responded conditionally.

Wan'er listened to someone, opened her eyes, and when she saw Li Xiangru, all melancholy seemed to be swept away, she jumped up happily, ran to Li Xiangru's side, raised her head and said in a milky voice: "Big brother, you are here......"

Li Xiangru smiled softly and wanted to touch Wan'er's head with her hand, but stopped. He didn't want to be treated as a villain by an ugly girl. He can understand the psychology of the ugly girl, in such a other party, being wary of people is the way to survive. Especially someone with such an unfamiliar face as him.

Li Xiangru withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "Hmm." Is there meat?"

Wan'er turned to look at the ugly girl, and Li Xiangru followed Wan'er's gaze like an ugly girl.

"There's some beef, if the guest officer needs it, I'll give you one?" the ugly lady responded. Suddenly, his face turned red, this guest was very special, and he didn't look like he was born in a poor family like them, and he looked very beautiful, like a girl.

"Okay, get one. Li Xiangru nodded. Watching Wan'er trot over to the ugly lady to urge food, she smiled again.

Lee Sang-ru loves children, especially beautiful and cute little girls.

Li Xiangru took the bowl of noodles, put a few slices of beef into the water and chewed gently. The meat slices are thinly cut and have a very light taste.

Wan'er sat down at his desk and looked at Li Xiangru with wide eyes. In her eyes, this beautiful big brother has an inexplicable kindness. In Li Xiangru's eyes, this beef slice tastes extremely ordinary, but in Wan'er's eyes, this is a rare meat. They were reluctant to eat, Wan'er was the youngest, and the others were not a few years older than her.

Li Xiangru chewed the tasteless hard beef, looking at Wan'er who was waiting on the side, he wanted to give her something to eat, but he hesitated but stopped it. Just as he was about to say something, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of several big men in Tsing Yi coming in with cold faces, and the faint smell of blood drifted in with the rain on their bodies. He was sensitive to the smell, and the reason for his sensitivity was the bloodthirsty beast inside him, the beast that sucked countless undead on the battlefield.

Li Xiangru frowned slightly, and then felt that he lowered his head and continued to eat noodles to wait and see.

When Wan'er saw someone coming, her little face showed a slightly frightened face. Slowly approached Li Xiangru's side, and shouted softly and tremblingly in the direction of the ugly girl:

"Ugly Sister ......"

Wan'er naturally knew the identity of the person who came, the person who walked in the front has always been a bad guy who bullied them, if it wasn't for a big sister, the ugly sister would have been snatched away by this bad guy a long time ago.

The two diners, who had planned to hide from the rain, saw the dress and fierce faces of the people who came in, and quickly dropped a few copper plates and ran out despite the heavy rain.

The man who led the land looked at the two diners who were rushing out in a panic with satisfaction, laughed, slowly turned around, glanced at Li Xiangru, and then put it on the ugly girl, his eyes were full of obscenity.

"You ...... What are you going to do?" The ugly girl was also a little frightened in her heart, and her voice became a little trembling.

This man is the old scar of Jiuxiang, when Douzi didn't join the Tsing Yi Gang, the old scar often went to the small courtyard where they lived. Even they suspect that the disappearance of the child inside is related to the old scar.

Lao Scar has long been a womanizer, in these alleys, although the ugly lady looks a little malnourished, but from the face can vaguely see that it is a beautiful embryo, and her figure is also very good. He had long been obsessed with her. This shed can be opened entirely because of the special care of the second lady. Now that they can walk in with such a swagger and without kindness, it shows that things have changed.

Thinking of the beans that she hadn't seen for a few days, the ugly girl's face turned a little paler, she bit her lip tightly, and couldn't help but put her hand behind her back and hold the kitchen knife tightly.

"In the future, this alley will be controlled by me, and you will all have to pay regular management fees......!"

"However, little lady, you are lucky, you are favored by our boss, if you are willing to be the sixth concubine of our boss, you don't have to pay the protection fee in the future, and you don't have to set up a stall, just guard the house every day and wait for our boss to come back and serve him!"

"Haha...... Yes, it's not good for a woman to show her face, and it's serious to follow our boss to eat and drink spicy!"

"Little lady, you might as well just obey our boss! Our boss is also burly, and he will be satisfied with you!"

"It's just that...... Haha......"

......

The crowd who came in kept teasing and teasing, and only stopped the more and more explicit teasing after Scar kicked it over.

Of course, the old scar saw the ugly girl's small action of holding the knife, but he didn't care, on the contrary, he felt that this little girl's skin was more interesting, which made him more and more impulsive.

Wan'er was scared and wanted to run to the ugly girl, but was hugged by Li Xiangru.

"Don't be afraid, big brother is here. Li Xiangru said softly and amiably. An inexplicable sense of security made Wan'er gradually relax. She snuggled into Li Xiangru's arms and stopped talking.

"You ......" The ugly girl's face turned red from these playful words, "What the third lady said, don't you listen to it?" Thinking of the third miss, the ugly lady slowly stabilized.

"......Shh Third Miss, you haven't seen her for a long time, haven't you? I'll tell you another piece of news, along with the bean in your family, I'm afraid I'm going to die in the alley now. Scar laughed contemptuously, without hesitation.

"Ah......" The ugly lady trembled when she heard this, the kitchen knife in her hand couldn't help but let go, and fell to the ground, the tears in her eyes began to roll in her eyes, and her voice trembled even more, and asked, "Douzi, what's wrong?"

The third lady is their only support, and Douzi is the only man who supports them among these orphans. Three days ago, Douzi found her at night to say goodbye to her, saying that she was going to go on a long trip. She asked a little more, but Douzi didn't say anything in the end, just told them to be more careful during this time. Thinking of some of the news that the Tsing Yi gang had whispered in this small shed in the past few days, a very strong uneasiness rose in the ugly girl's heart.

"Hey...... To tell you the truth, now even the third lady in your mouth can't protect you, phew...... That Huang Xiaowei had abandoned the surname of the gang leader before. Thinking about it again, she tried to murder the gang leader, but was caught red-handed by the eldest prince, and the evidence is conclusive! Now she has escaped. If she was innocent, how could she escape?" said one of Tsing Yi with a gloomy smile.

"Impossible! Third Miss, Third Miss, she ...... She was so kind and kind to us!, she wouldn't do that kind of thing!" the ugly lady said with a hint of surprise and panic.

The third lady's name is Huang Xiaowei, and she is the third daughter of the Tsing Yi gang leader Tsing Yi.

Gu Qingyi is also a legendary figure in the capital, from an orphan who wandered in the town of Poor An, after twenty-six years of hard work, with his intelligence and wit, he created the Tsing Yi Gang, and in the next three years, eliminated the major gangs that posed the greatest threat to him and became the first gang in Jingguo.

Gu Qingyunyi has a son and two daughters. The eldest son Gu Daoming is not very talented, and the second daughter Gu Qingrou was married to Qingyun, the helmsman of the thirteenth lane of the Tsing Yi Gang, a year ago. The third daughter Huang Xiaowei has the most Gu Qingyun temperament, it can be said that if Huang Xiaowei is a man, for the future of the Tsing Yi Gang, Gu Qingyun will pass on the position of the gang leader to her regardless of the stiff relationship with Huang Xiaowei.

Huang Xiaowei does not have the surname Gu, but his mother's surname is Huang. Her mother was originally the daughter of a down-and-out eunuch, but she was forcibly plundered by Gu Qingyi and became his concubine. Huang's mother was taciturn, even a little high-minded, never to please Gu Qingyi, but just stayed in a small courtyard and silently raised Huang Xiaowei to teach her to read. Gu Qingyi loves the Huang family, but the Huang family's indifference gradually made him lose patience, so he let their mother and son fend for themselves in the small courtyard.

Huang Xiaowei has been with his mother since he was a child, and his personality is deeply influenced by the Huang family, and they were naturally bullied before they fell out of favor. After Huang died of illness when she was seven years old, she was raised by an elderly woman next to Huang. For Gu Qingyi, she rarely even saw it.
