Chapter 12: I'm Your Father
At night, Xing Xiu sat in the inn, touching the slightly deflated money bag, thinking that it was too expensive in the capital, and if she continued like this, she really couldn't eat.
If she goes down to Jiangnan now to find that caravan, everything about money and everything else will be fine. But the key is that she still has to take the imperial examination.
Xing Xiu's ears moved slightly, she pushed open the window, and a group of people and horses wearing official clothes flew past the city and ran outside.
In three days, the people of the government have appeared many times, and there is nothing else that can be done in the capital if there is a big case.
Xing Xiu closed the window, she didn't want to care about these things now.
Early in the morning, Xing Xiu was woken up by someone shouting and screaming before he woke up.
"Oh no! The overlord has come to trouble Grandma Sun again! β
When the innkeeper heard this, he hurriedly put down the work in his hand, beckoned his man, and hurriedly walked out together.
Xing Xiu stood aside, she was here these days, but she also knew who this Grandma Sun was.
Grandma Sun is the respected object of the people on this street, she comes from a famous family, she has a lot of relief for poor families, and her husband is also a doctor, saving lives and helping the wounded. It's just that the family fell in the middle of the road, her husband died early, and a pair of children also died one after another, and she only had a granddaughter under her knees, and she was very pampered.
I don't know how I got into trouble by Liu Zhiying in the past few days.
Xing Xiu followed over to take a look, the innkeeper and a few guys protected Grandma Sun behind him, blocking in front of the menacing Liu Zhiying, and the innkeeper said calmly: "My lord, I don't know what made you come to the door in person?" β
"Shopkeeper, don't you know best?" Liu Zhiying smiled gloomily, "I heard that Grandma Sun's grandma and granddaughter were beautiful, so I'm here to take a look." β
This is clearly a forcible robbery!
The people around are no longer surprised, Liu Zhiying does all kinds of evil, Grandma Sun is old, and she has to be harassed by this bully, it's really pitiful!
Liu Zhiying expected that the innkeeper would find someone to stop him today, he also brought a lot of hands today, he was not afraid that he couldn't beat him, today, he had to take this Miss Sun away!
Liu Zhiying smiled ruthlessly, "Call me!" β
A group of people scuffled, and the crowd hurriedly retreated, so as not to be injured by mistake.
Several young people who were not accustomed to Liu Zhiying's methods also rushed up to join the innkeeper's team, but they were stunned and their noses were blue and their faces were swollen.
There was no good place on the innkeeper, and several of the guys were beaten to the ground.
Liu Zhiying laughed, his meat trembled, and walked towards Grandma Sun, "Old woman, I advise you to hand over Miss Sun, lest you suffer from flesh and skin when you are old!" β
Grandma Sun can still see the beauty of her youth on her weathered face, she is on crutches, and she resolutely blocks the door, "My lord, there is no Miss Sun here that adults say!" β
"Stubborn!" Liu Zhiying was rejected many times, and he was very annoyed when he lost face, and he raised his arm to "exhale" and was about to be slapped down.
Xing Xiu touched Squeak, the corners of his mouth hooked, "Squeak, do you think I should help?" β
Squeak said excitedly: "Okay, okay! I think that Liu Zhiying is also very unhappy! This is even worse than Zheng Xuan! β
Liu Zhiying was ruthless, and simply beat the old woman to death, so that Miss Sun would be his person!
Grandma Sun closed her eyes and waited to be abused by Liu Zhiying, and the rest of the people couldn't bear to see this scene and turned their heads away.
Before Liu Zhiying could wave his hand, he was kicked in the lower abdomen.
He covered his lower abdomen and grinned at the initiator - Xing Xiu.
People also turned their heads one after another, where did this fall from a handsome boy, dressed in a white robe, waving a folding fan, and blurring his face under the white mask.
"Who are you? Dare to thwart me?! Liu Zhiying held one of his subordinates, and there seemed to be a tearing sensation on his lower abdomen, when he tasted the taste of being beaten, he was almost furious.
"I'm your father." Xing Xiu jokingly said, "I'll teach you what it means to respect the old and love the young!" β
Liu Zhiying's eyes almost burst into flames, "Who is your son!" Give me a good fight! β
Liu Zhiying's men immediately rushed up, Xing Xiu put away the folding fan, replaced the folding fan in his hand with a needle, his steps were light, he waved in his hands, and he saw the exposed parts of their bodies, one person and one needle, all of them fell to the ground and did not wake up.
Xing Xiu withdrew the needle and stood back in place easily, it was better to anesthetize or something.
And the people began to talk about itβ
"What kind of trick is this? How come I've never seen one? β
"Isn't this son a master from afar?"
"When the road is uneven, draw a knife to help! Childe is such a good person! β
It was the first time Liu Zhiying had encountered this situation, seeing that the guys in the inn next to him had all stood up, without his subordinates to stop him, he put down a cruel word and left in a hurry.
Xing Xiu didn't want to stay longer, so he drove away Liu Zhiying and was about to go back, but Grandma Sun saw that Xing Xiu was leaving, so she hurriedly called out to him, "Little boy!" If you don't dislike it, please have lunch before leaving! β
Xing Xiu turned around, Grandma Sun looked at her with gratitude on her face, she couldn't refuse, and the innkeeper on the side also said: "Gongzi Xing, don't refuse Grandma, Grandma is also kind." β
Xing Xiu saw that it was indeed time for lunch, so he nodded.
The innkeeper couldn't stay long, business still had to be done, so he said hello and left.
Xing Xiu followed Grandma Sun into the door, the folk doctor who married Grandma Sun was from an average family, there was almost nothing in the courtyard, and the house was even poorer.
Grandma Sun also had only one maid by her side, and she prepared a meal for them.
I glanced at the dishes, and the plates were all vegetarian dishes.
Grandma Sun smiled a little apologetically, "Little boy, don't dislike it, Grandma's family really has nothing to entertain guests." β
Xing Xiu smiled, she also knew that this grandmother was supporting the family alone and had no financial resources.
After all, I want to eat, and when I was in the inn, I could let Xiao Er bring food to the guest room, but now I was eating with Grandma Sun, and it was a little inappropriate for her to wear a mask again.
Xing Xiu took off his mask and picked up his chopsticks, "Grandma, let's eat." β
Grandma Sun looked at Xing Xiu, her eyes were motionless, this child is very handsome.
Fortunately, Grandma Sun's maid still had reason, and pushed Grandma Sun, and Grandma Sun came to her senses, she looked at Xing Xiu and smiled: "No wonder the little boy wants to wear a mask to go out, I don't know how many girls will be attracted to this appearance." β
Xing Xiu hooked the corners of his mouth and did not speak modestly.
Suddenly, Xing Xiu remembered something, and it was a bit rude to ask Grandma directly, but thinking that Grandma was not a calculating person, he asked directly, "Grandma, doesn't Miss Sun have to come out to eat?" β
Grandma Sun's face suddenly changed, as if she was ten years old, she sighed, "Little boy, don't hide it, my granddaughter has not been seen for many days." β
"Grandma means Miss Sun is missing?" Xing Xiu lowered her eyes, she had a hunch that this matter must be related to the recent big case in the capital.
