Natural disasters are unavoidable, and man-made disasters are indeed chilling. The floods are raging, and I don't know when it will end. How many families were displaced in an instant, and life was very difficult. But at this stage, there are always some profiteers who want to make a fortune in the country, and they take the opportunity to raise prices, exploit the people, and want to make a lot of money.

In the county where Ling Xiu'er is located, the price of rice has been raised to a price that is difficult for ordinary people, let alone refugees. As the saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance. The floods left the refugees without shelter from the elements, while the unscrupulous wealthy businessmen were given the opportunity to make a profit. How realistic, how helpless, how unfair! The rising price of rice has made many refugees resentful. This sentiment has been accumulating and eventually explodes.

In front of the rice shop, several refugees in shabby clothes were being beaten on the ground by the rice shop's boys. The little guy was so heavy that he seemed to want to beat them to death. Those refugees had no way to fight back, so they could only be beaten passively. All they can do is protect themselves by curling up and holding their heads tightly.

The sound of screams mixed with fists and feet hitting the flesh and skin made even those who watched the excitement on the side feel unbearable, but due to the usual domineering style of the rice shop, none of them dared to speak for these refugees, for fear of getting into trouble.

The owner of the rice shop stood aside, his hands and arms folded, his expression was domineering, his eyes were full of contempt for a few refugees, in his eyes, the cheap lives of these refugees were worthless, and the words he said were extremely mean: "Beat me, beat me hard, I see who will dare to rob the rice shop in the future!" ”

The owner of the rice shop was extremely arrogant, his eyes patrolling the crowd of onlookers, and his mouth was humming. It's okay to make an example of chickens and monkeys, but it's too much to do that! The onlookers were all dissatisfied, but they were afraid of the power of the rice shop, so they only dared to whisper a few words to the people next to them.

But the shopkeeper did not even allow the people to whisper, and with a fierce look on his face, he shouted loudly: "What are you talking about, few of you! Do you want to speak for them? Well? ”

The owner of the rice shop dared to do this in public, and a discerning person knew at a glance that he was a backer. The people were silenced with fright, and the shopkeeper was pleased with the scene and turned his attention back to the refugees.

The little guy was indeed ruthless, and the ** voices of several refugees gradually became smaller, and slowly there was less air intake and more air out. The shopkeeper saw that he was afraid that he would die if he continued to fight, although he really didn't look down on the lives of these refugees, but it was not good to kill people in broad daylight, and there was no need for more of this, so he planned to let his men stop.

"Stop!" Before he could say anything to stop it, a male voice came.

Everyone subconsciously looked for the source of the sound, and naturally made way for the comers. The person who came was a little lame, but his back was straight, it was Cao Yu. Everyone looked at him in surprise, but they didn't expect that someone would dare to come out to fight the grievances, and they looked at Cao Yu with a little "pity" in their eyes.

"Who are you?" The shopkeeper put away his flamboyant smile, squinted at Cao Yu, and looked up and down to confirm that it was someone he didn't know.

Cao Yu also let him look, and let so many pairs of onlookers look at him, his calm and dark eyes looked at the shopkeeper, pointed at the refugees in his hand, and said lightly: "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that if you continue to fight, they will die." ”

The little guys really stopped just when Cao Yu said to stop, and now they realized why they wanted to listen to Cao Yu's words, and before the shopkeeper could speak, one of the little guys walked up to Cao Yu quickly, raised his fist, and said fiercely: "What are you doing with your business, if you don't leave, believe it or not, even you will fight!" ”

Cao Yu didn't leave, and there was no frightened expression on his face, the little guy has been rampant and domineering in the rice shop for many years, and he has been bullying people for a long time, and the little guy may have forgotten his identity as just a guy in a rice shop, seeing that Cao Yu was not afraid of himself at all, but was still calm, and that calm angered the little guy a little.

Cao Yu didn't say anything to the little guy, but continued to talk to the shopkeeper: "I think you just want to set an example, the effect has been achieved, just let them go, I don't think they dare." ”

The shopkeeper didn't intend to really kill them, although he was dissatisfied with Cao Yu's kick halfway, but he still said slowly: "Enough, stop, let them go." ”

"Boss!" The little guys are a little dissatisfied, they don't like this group of victims very much, the flood is gone, and they can only say that they are unlucky, since the flood a group of people have come here, and now they dare to rob the rice shop. The refugees were like beggars in their eyes.

"Boss, you can't let them go, don't give them some color to see, they still think we are easy to bully." The guys spontaneously surrounded Cao Yu and the victims.

Just as they were about to do it again against Cao Yu and the victims, another "stop" sounded.

"Who's nosy!"

The shopkeeper originally meant to stand by and watch, but as soon as he saw the person coming this time, he immediately greeted him. Standing grovelling next to him, he said in a respectful tone, "Why are you here?" ”

Whether it was the guys in the rice shop or the onlookers, it was the first time they had seen the owner of the rice shop look so submissive. Cao Yu immediately recognized this person, it was the person he helped Zhao Ping out of the siege in the restaurant a few days ago. Cao Yu knew that Zhao Ping must have a story with him, but he didn't know the inside story, so he had to pretend not to know him and stand still.

Jeroda waved his hand to the shopkeeper and motioned for them to step back first.

The shopkeeper promised again and again, looked at the guys who didn't understand there, and scolded: "What are you still standing there doing, don't go in and work quickly." ”

"Wait a minute." Jeroda opened his mouth, "Take them down to heal their wounds." ”

Naturally, it was the refugees who were lying on the ground and couldn't stand up, and now even the owner of the rice shop felt a little aggrieved, he had just let his guy beat someone, and now he still wants to treat them? But the shopkeeper naturally did not dare to disobey Yeluda's words, and turned back to the little servants who were not moving on the side and said, "What are you doing in a daze, do you want me to do it myself?"

"But......" the little guys looked dissatisfied.

The shopkeeper immediately interrupted them: "Don't talk nonsense, don't take them down for treatment!" ”

The little guys reluctantly carried the refugees and retreated.

Yeluda's eyes never left Cao Yu's body, and when he saw that they all retreated, and the onlookers also left, Yeluda said to Cao Yu: "Cao Yu, meet again." ”
