Chapter 17: Beaten

The little guy who took the lead held a big stick, clapped his palms and approached Qu Xiaomo step by step, with a lewd smile on his face, and said: "Just a little guy who doesn't have half a tael of silver on you, whoever robs you doesn't have to waste time, it's not bad to beat you." ”

"A few big brothers have something to say, I look at a few faces, we don't know each other." Qu Xiaomo pretended to be calm and talked nonsense, delaying time to find a way to escape.

The leader smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you recognize it or not, someone asked us to take one of your legs and one arm." ”

As soon as Qu Xiaomo heard it, he knew that these people were sent by Wu Gui, and he didn't have to think about it to know that she had not offended anyone except him when she came to the capital.

There were five people on the other side, Qu Xiaomo felt that this time it was really a catastrophe, and he didn't want to care about what happened to the dim sum in the food box in his hand, so he directly grabbed the food box and smashed it to the little guy who rushed up to catch her first.

Looking at the stick that was about to fall on him, Qu Xiaomo hurriedly turned sideways, but he still couldn't dodge, and just when the stick was about to hit his shoulder, the scene suddenly reversed.

I saw a young man dressed in the guard costume of the Golden Mansion rushing out, drawing his sword and waving the wooden stick in two when Qu Xiaomo couldn't see clearly, and the wooden stick cut in front of him was neat, Qu Xiaomo couldn't help but clapped his hands with admiration and looked at the guard in front of him, and said, "Little brother, good swordsmanship!" ”

The delicate-looking guard smiled at her, raised his jaw slightly, and said, "It's over." ”

The sword was retracted, and the guard turned his head to look at the few little guys who were stunned on the spot, put away the smile on his face, and said with a cold face: "What? Still not leaving? ”

The little guy in the lead looked at the long sword in his hand, swallowed his saliva, looked at the brothers behind him, and shouted stubbornly: "You are alone, there are five of us, I am afraid that you will do something, brothers, go on!" ”

Anyway, if they can't do it, they will be beaten with sticks when they go back, and if they are a little injured, they may be able to get some silver to make medicine money, and then the five of them pounced on the guard.

Qu Xiaomo, who became a bystander from the protagonist, looked at the delicate guard sword and didn't pull it out, only relying on his fists and feet to deal with five men, he could still be at ease, and couldn't help but admire the people who knew kung fu and fists, if he knew how to do it, how could he be afraid of these people.

Looking at the guard punching and kicking the five people one by one and begging for mercy, Qu Xiaomo picked up the food box that he had just thrown out, and looked at the broken snacks, and suddenly became sad, this is for the ice cube to eat, looking at the guard in front of him who was still kicking the person lying on the ground, you don't have to think about it to know that this person is sent by the ice cube, otherwise the guard of the Golden Mansion would not have appeared here so coincidentally.

If she knew that someone was secretly protecting her, she wouldn't have thrown this food box out and smashed people.

The delicate guard drove away the five people who were already covered in scaly wounds and lame feet, came back and looked at the snacks scattered all over the ground, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you go back and make a plate in the kitchen?" ”

"Forget it, I'll make a plate by myself when I go to Lanyue Tower." Qu Xiaomo said

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate." The guard said: "The master has always only liked the dim sum made by the chef in the house, if the taste is different..."

Qu Xiaomo picked up the food box and got up with his eyebrows twisted and said: "But it takes too long to come and go, and a plate of dim sum is only the time it takes to make a cup of tea, no matter what, try it." "It's a big deal to catch the ice blade empty-handed, anyway, it's not an eye knife that catches the ice once or twice.

Jin Zhen, who was in Lanyue Building, flipped through the account book in his hand, habitually pointed at the plate and the dim sum placed next to him, grabbed a void, couldn't help frowning, and called Jin Thirteen, who was guarding the door, and asked, "Why hasn't today's dim sum been delivered yet?" ”

"My subordinates sent someone back to take a look."

Jin 13 exited the door and was just about to send someone back, when he saw Qu Xiaomo panting and running with a food box, he couldn't help asking, "Why is it so late today?" ”

Without waiting for Qu Xiaomo to take a breath, he pushed open the door and said, "Hurry up and send it in." ”

Qu Xiaomo didn't dare to say much to him, he stepped in with the food box, entered the inner room through the screen, and saw that the ice cube was looking up at her, so he quickly put up his little face, trotted over, gasped, and said, "The big shopkeeper, the dim sum is here." ”

As he spoke, he opened the food box and took out the steaming dim sum inside, and Jin Yu saw that the heat was obviously not taken from the house, so he asked, "Where did you make the dim sum?" ”

Qu Xiaomo didn't dare to hide it, so he told the matter over and over again: "It was made by the small one in the kitchen below, and he didn't dare to let anyone help, the plate on the house before was blocked by a few small people of Wu Gui on the road, and the pastries were broken, and if I went back to get it, I was afraid that it would take too long, and the big shopkeeper couldn't wait, so I made a plate out of my own opinion, and also sent someone back to the house to say that the kitchen was making a plate, if you can't wait, you can taste one or two small ones first, and wait for the house to send you to use." ”

Jin Yu just glanced at her, then took a sip of tea and continued to look down at the account, and said, "Go out." ”

Qu Xiaomo slipped out of the house with the empty food box, closed the door, and Jin Shisanyi outside grabbed her, looked up and down, and asked, "Are you hurt?" ”

Qu Xiaomo waved his hand: "It's okay, fortunately, there is that Jin Mo little guard, otherwise I am afraid that I will die today." ”

Jin Shisan laughed twice and said, "The master knew that you were scared to death, so he patted Jin Mo to follow you." ”

Qu Xiaomo glanced back at the closed door, raised his voice slightly, and said, "Thank you for the big shopkeeper." ”

Although the door was closed, Jin Yu was a martial arts practitioner, and the conversation outside was naturally heard clearly, and there was no fluctuation on his face when he heard it.

The smell of osmanthus wafting from the tip of his nose made him can't help but raise his head and reach out to take a piece, take a sip, and suddenly look at the pastry in his hand in surprise.

The taste of this cake is exactly the same as what my mother made when I was young, and I haven't eaten such a taste of osmanthus cake for a long time, and it should have been nearly ten years!

The chef in the house only made three similar tastes, but I didn't expect this Qu Xiaomo to make the same, Jin Yu ate four or five pieces in a row before stopping, wiped the crumbs at the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and couldn't help but hook the corner of his lips, a very faint smile flashed, but it was very amazing.

Putting down the handkerchief, Jin Yu finally found that this kid was a little useful, raised the teacup and took a sip, and continued to bury his head in the account.

When he returned home in the evening, after washing, Jin Mo ordered Qu Xiaomo to go to the kitchen to make him snacks with a cold face.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves, not to mention that this person is still his own boss, Qu Xiaomo had to resign himself to the kitchen to make osmanthus cakes, and since then he has had a variety of jobs in addition to serving him to eat, drink, and Lazar.

More than a month has passed like this, and three months have passed since the six-month period, Qu Xiaomo counted the days and saw that he could leave after boiling up, and the work in his hands suddenly felt very relaxed.

On the evening of this day, after Qu Xiaomo served the water and washed up, he listened to him: "I'm going out tomorrow, you can clean up." ”

"I'm going too?" Qu Xiaomo pointed to his nose and asked

"Well, get out."

Jin Yu responded and turned over to the bed and lay down, closed his eyes and ordered him to go out, Qu Xiaomo opened his mouth, and finally swallowed the rejection and exited the house: Come on, you are the uncle! You have the final say.

I went back and packed up some clean clothes and a breast wrap before washing up and going to bed.

The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, he was woken up by Jin Thirteen, remembering that last night Jin Yu said that he was going out, he quickly got up and dressed and washed, and when he opened the door, he saw squinting eyes leaning against the door, and when he saw her come out, he hooked his lips and said: "I said you kid, every time you call the door, you hang me outside, and you come out when you are dressed neatly, I wonder, they are all men, what are you afraid of?" And if you are wearing a high collar on a hot day, you are not afraid of dying of heat. ”

Qu Xiaomo splashed his face wash at his feet, so frightened that he jumped back again and again, shouting, "Look at it, you will pay for wetting my boots." ”

Qu Xiaomo glared at him, turned around and put the basin away, picked up his bags and locked the door, ignoring Jin Thirteen who came to knock on the door, but ignoring him does not mean that this person is not broken, since the two of them got acquainted, she knew that this person was a talker, and he could talk for a long time if he caught someone, and he was still not nutritious, if you want to find out something, I will turn you aside in an instant, this is also a god.

She found out that no one in this Jin Mansion was a normal person!

Carrying his own small cloth bag out of the yard and coming to the gate, he just saw Jin Yu coming out, followed by the coffin face, Qu Xiaomo asked for peace, waited for him to get into the carriage, and climbed up with the burden on his back.

glanced at the people who accompanied him, plus Jin Thirteen and the coffin face, there were a total of six or seven guards, but all of them were different from the guards in the house, there was no emotion on their faces, their eyes were cold, but they were similar to the man he saw in the ice courtyard before, but the man's momentum was obviously much stronger than these guards.

Qu Xiaomo didn't dare to look at it presumptuously, and obediently held the package and grabbed the handrail next to him, the groom was still the one who went to the Shen Mansion birthday banquet, and as soon as he raised his whip, the car drove towards the city gate.

As soon as the day was clear, a team of people had already gone out of the city gate, the speed of the car was a little fast, Qu Xiaomo didn't wear a hat, ate a lot of dust, was choked and couldn't help coughing lightly, when she first came to the capital, she also made a carriage, but she spent money and didn't need to eat dust, and now she has become a servant, such a luxurious carriage spends all her savings and can't afford to sit down, so she didn't think that the cold and hard ice cubes inside could be compassionate, and asked her to go in, so she had to cover her mouth and nose with her baggage, and try to inhale as little dust as possible.

The sun was already scorching, and when it was almost noon, passing by a clear river, the ice cube man stopped to rest, Qu Xiaomo also quickly got out of the car and patted the gray on his body, and went to the river with a handkerchief to wash his face.
