Chapter 368: A Useful Paperweight
It was a paperweight, the paperweight was carved into the shape of a majestic hill, looking at some years, some corners of the paperweight were a little polished, obviously often held in the hand of rubbing.
"It's not anything of value," Geng Zijiang put the paperweight on the counter, "but this paperweight was used by my grandfather, and it has been kept in my study, and it has been passed from my father to me." When I was fleeing, I didn't think about the things next to me, so I took this with me, it was also a thought, and I could defend myself on the road. Don't say it, this thing is really useful, I used it to knock down a thief on the way to escape......"
Geng Zijiang chattered, Jiang Baoqing nodded, picked up the paperweight, and put it in a bookbag she was carrying.
This bookbag was also sewn by her just last night, and she sewed two in duplicate, one embroidered with the word "Yu" at the corner, and the other with the word "Qing" at the corner.
Jiang Baoqing came out of the Danxin Medicine Shop and remembered another incident. The books at home, Jiang Baoqing turned through them before, the type is too simple, they are all four books and five classics and the like, which are very boring.
Jiang Baoqing thought about it, and then found an old man who was selling firewood on the side of the road, and asked him where the nearby bookstore was.
When the old man saw that the young man who asked for directions was extremely handsome and spoke well, he was quite happy to show him the way, and kindly added an instruction: "...... When the time comes, don't go to the alleys, I heard that a few alleys over there are a little unhealthy in the past few days. ”
After Jiang Baoqing thanked him, he wrapped himself in an indigo cloak and went in the direction pointed by the old man.
She didn't want to make trouble, so she didn't take the path in the alley, and tried to follow the main road as much as possible.
It snowed a few days ago, and this wide stone road was cleaned by the people nearby, but there was no snow, and if it weren't for the fact that there was a layer of walls on both sides of the road, it would be difficult for people to see that it had snowed a few days ago.
This is the intersection of several alleys and paths, and the open space is quite large, and there is a well in the center, and the cover of the well is lifted, and there is a wooden bucket for drawing water next to it, and a lot of water is sprinkled on the ground.
There was no one around.
Jiang Baoqing was a little surprised when he looked at this scene, and looked around, but there was no one nearby.
Something isn't right.
Jiang Baoqing easily covered the manhole cover to the well, lest a naughty boy accidentally fall into the well, in winter, this will be fatal.
After covering the manhole cover and helping the barrel up, Jiang Baoqing was ready to leave.
However, at this moment, there seemed to be a faint cry of a girl floating from a certain alley with the wind.
Jiang Baoqing paused.
What does this concern her?
She stepped away.
……
The girl sat paralyzed on the ground, desperately pulling at her torn clothes, while kicking her legs on the ground, struggling to retreat, crying miserably: "Don't come! Stay back! ……”
Standing in front of her was a hideous-looking bastard, he licked his lips: "Beauty, it's all because you are not interesting, our eldest brother has lost patience with you, he asked me to teach you a lesson...... Okay, beauty, don't struggle, know the times, and if you start with my eldest brother early, you won't fall to this point. ”
As he spoke, he walked towards the girl with a sinister smile.
At this moment, a muffled sound sounded, and the gangster's expression froze suddenly.
The girl who was tightly tugging on the collar still had tears in her eyes, and her eyes widened in horror, looking at the man in front of her who looked like a ghost, with a stiff face, and fell to the ground with a bang, revealing a young man in a cloak standing behind him.
This young man was extremely handsome, but his expression was also a little cold, and he looked like he was very difficult to provoke - this young man was naturally Jiang Baoqing.
Jiang Baoqing shook her arm, she was carrying a bookbag in her left hand, and she was holding a paperweight in her right hand - the one that Geng Zijiang gave her before.
Just now, she used this paperweight and slammed it on the back of the man's head.
"This paperweight is good, it deserves to have once called down a thief." Jiang Baoqing secretly thought in his heart, feeling that this paperweight was really handy.
The girl was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly wrapped her clothes, wiped her tears quickly, and stood up against the wall, her voice still trembling: "Thank you......
Jiang Baoqing sighed.
She is not a nosy, but her hearing is too good, the girl's sad and helpless cry pierces her like an awl, she said that there is no way to ignore all this, and finally chose to follow the cry to find it, and quietly slipped behind the gangster, took out the paperweight that Geng Zijiang gave to Jiang Qing in the bookbag, and gave the back of the gangster's head hard.
"Are you alright?" Jiang Baoqing asked in a low voice.
The girl was stunned, Jiang Baoqing didn't use a false voice, her voice was delicate and soft, obviously not like a young man's timbre.
"You ......"
Jiang Baoqing nodded: "I'm a woman." ”
She knew that the girl was likely to have a mental panic about men at this time, and her identity should be able to reduce the girl's fear a little.
Sure enough, hearing that the cloaked young man in front of her was actually a girl, the girl's expression relaxed suddenly, she wiped her tears with the back of her hand, hung her head and straightened her clothes, tied the ties on her clothes, and her voice was a little choked: "Let the girl see the joke......"
Jiang Baoqing shook his head with a serious expression: "How can it be a joke?" It is you who have been treated unfairly and wronged, and no one will laugh at you. If you really want to joke, it's a joke," Jiang Baoqing kicked the gangster who was knocked unconscious by a paperweight on the ground, "It's not a person." ”
The girl was stunned, then covered her face with her hands and began to cry.
"Stop," Jiang Baoqing interrupted the girl's crying, "It's not that I won't let you cry, it's just that at this moment, what we should do is to leave this place first." She kicked the unconscious thug on the ground again, "He's still unconscious, and he doesn't know when his companion will come." When I heard him, he was not alone. ”
The girl's little face was pale and she nodded, there were tears on her eyelashes, and she forgot to cry for a while: "You're right...... They are indeed not alone. I need to hurry home. ”
Jiang Baoqing nodded, squatted down, and took the pulse of the gangster who was unconscious.
Well, she just grasped the strength of the beating just right, this person will wake up in a coma for half an hour at most, seeing that he is dressed so thickly, he will not be frozen to death, at most frostbite in some places.
Jiang Baoqing didn't care about the gangster anymore, and when he turned to leave, he saw the girl with a painful look on her face, leaning against the wall, one leg trembling slightly unnaturally.
“……”
Jiang Baoqing sighed, stepped forward and touched the girl's unnatural leg.
Sure enough, it hit the ankle.
Jiang Baoqing sighed again: "Say, where is your home?" ”
