Chapter 8: The Little Thief

Fu Rusi almost subconsciously glanced at Gu Chen, and sure enough, he saw Gu Chen frowning.

The woman's voice was particularly high-pitched, and it was really harsh at the moment.

Fu Rusi shrugged his shoulders slightly, there was no way, and people were unwilling to let him help cover his ears.

The guests in the store and the pedestrians outside the store listened to the movement, and gradually took Xu Yun and a few of them as the center, and automatically formed a small circle to watch the excitement, and there were also little girls in the store who were afraid of things, put down the clothes in their hands, pulled the people around them and left in a hurry.

Xu Yun snorted coldly and didn't speak.

The woman probably used too much strength to raise her voice, and her face was already slightly red at this moment, and she said unrelentingly: "Yo, you are still on the side!" ”

She pointed to the people around her and continued, "Hey! Look at this little rabbit cub, dressed as a beggar and daring to come into this place, isn't he just looking for an opportunity to steal money? I fell in love with his way, and I almost did this wrong! ”

Xu Yun rolled his eyes at the sky.

The discussion gradually got up, maybe the woman's tone was too infectious, maybe Xu Yun's dress was not convincing, and her attitude was a little bad, in short, most of them were accusing Xu Yun's behavior.

Some latecomers rushed in to see the excitement, so they asked the people around them what had happened, and some of them seemed to have witnessed all the process, and they were sure that the beggar had stolen the woman's money, and refused to admit it.

Fu Rusi couldn't think of anything in his heart, but he was a little curious about what the scholar would do.

The woman straightened up as if encouraged, and questioned Xu Yun again: "If you take out my money now, I won't report it to the official, if you don't pay it back, be careful that I will take you clean and take you to the government!" ”

Xu Yun didn't answer, still looking at the woman coldly, with disdain in his eyes.

The woman also laughed, probably because she was very angry, she waved her hand irritably, and the strong man next to her walked towards Xu Yun eagerly.

If Fu Rusi was not mistaken, Xu Yun's eyes showed killing intent.

At this time, the scholar finally made a move, he took a step forward, half-blocked in front of Xu Yun, and did not forget to be polite at such a moment before he said slowly: "This son really did not steal, please figure it out before you do it." ”

The scholar's speed of speech was a little slow, probably because the scholar was like this in order to speak clearly and in an orderly manner, the strong man didn't want to listen to anyone's nonsense, and he had already walked in front of the two of them while speaking, and he reached out to cross the scholar and use brute force to pull Xu Yun out.

If the scholar dodge, then Xu Yun will inevitably be pulled up by the strong man immediately, and it is really unrealistic to dodge with Xu Yun, so he had no choice but to hold his hands against the strong man's fist, and after a while, his forehead sweated.

The people around him were afraid that they would be harmed, but they wanted to see the excitement, so they tacitly took two steps back.

Xu Yun stood still like a wooden man, just staring thoughtfully at the scholar's back.

At this time, another sweaty man came out of the crowd, and while wiping the sweat on his face with his sleeve, he panted and said, "Everyone, don't do anything in my small shop!" ”

This man has a fat head and big ears, and his mouth is still stained with oil, as if he has not finished his meal in a hurry, perhaps he also feels that his image is not very good at the moment, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and the next moment he wiped the unstoppable sweat on his head.

Fu Rusi immediately glanced at Gu Chen, but found that his gaze did not fall on the shopkeeper, nor on the few people centered on Xu Yun, but at the crowd behind the woman.

Gu Chen seemed to be only looking at one of the people in the crowd, but when Fu Rusi looked over, he didn't find any person who was particularly worth seeing, so he didn't know whether Gu Chen was observing the crowd or just looking at one person.

Fu Rusi looked at Gu Chen again in curiosity, but the other party had already withdrawn his gaze and looked at Xu Yun and them.

A junior ran out of the store in a hurry, still holding a handkerchief in his hand, and muttered in his mouth: "You can be regarded as the shopkeeper, this is almost a big incident!" ”

The shopkeeper glared at Xiao Er, took the handkerchief in his hand angrily, and said angrily: "Look at you waste, it's useless, I'll settle the account with you later!" ”

The shopkeeper wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, a smile appeared on his face, and he didn't look at Xu Yun with his eyes, and walked straight to the woman: "Look at your trouble, this beggar stealing money, you go to the yamen with him to settle accounts, why block the door of my small shop, where is this going to bump into, how can I take care of it!" ”

The woman was about to speak, but the scholar spoke, he pointed to the location of the door, and at this time probably no longer cared about any manners, and said hurriedly: "The thief is going to escape!" ”

The woman glanced at the scholar suspiciously, and didn't seem to be going to believe his words, but the strong man subconsciously pounced, and he picked up a person at random, who was so frightened that he waved his hand and couldn't speak clearly.

There were people in the crowd who were afraid of harming themselves and wanted to leave, but they were squeezed and couldn't move; When someone heard that the thief had been caught, they were very interested and wanted to move forward so that they could see the whole process clearly, and for a while it began to be chaotic.

Fu Rusi just took a step forward and was held down by Gu Chen's shoulder.

Gu Chen's strength was a little great, Fu Rusi secretly felt pain, but he didn't show it on his face for the time being, just looked back at Gu Chen suspiciously.

Gu Chen let go of his hand and said lightly: "Don't interfere with this dream." ”

Fu Rusi rubbed his shoulders and tried to squeeze out the expression of pain, but he found that he had never felt pain before, and he didn't know how to appear real and not exaggerated for a while, so he took a cool breath with an expressionless face and continued to look at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen glanced at Fu Rusi's shoulder and did not speak.

Fu Rusi sighed, turned his head to look at the crowd, and said helplessly: "I just want to get closer to see which one is the thief, and I don't mean to help." ”

Gu Chen still didn't respond, fortunately, Fu Rusi didn't report any hope on this, but he didn't have any interest in waiting and seeing.

The shopkeeper was still shouting, "Ouch! Spread out, don't break my threshold! A new layer of paint just applied not long ago is very expensive! ”

The scholar crossed the strong man, burrowed into the crowd, and after a while, pulled out a little boy who looked no more than ten years old.

The little boy was well-dressed, clean and tidy, with baby fat on his face that had not yet faded completely, full of immaturity and innocence, with tears in his eyes, and muttering aggrievedly: "Brother, I didn't steal money, it's not me!" "It looks pitiful, and for a moment it is impossible to believe that this is a thief who steals money.

The people around really showed disbelief, and the woman sneered even more, looked at the scholar and said: "I see that you and that beggar are in the same group, but your skin is generally thick, and you will be convicted by pulling a child at will, when my eyes are white!" ”

From time to time, there was a voice of echoing, Xu Yun was unmoved, and still looked at the scholar with interest, and the scholar never changed his face, but said: "Whether it is or not, I will know it after a search, I am just a scholar, and I will never do anything to ruin the reputation of others." ”

When the young man heard that he was going to search his body, he struggled a little harder, but he still made a pitiful look on his face, and the shopkeeper didn't want things to get out of control anymore, in short, he couldn't get out of control at the door of his store, so he stood up as a peacemaker, and persuaded with good words: "This scholar is right, whether he has stolen money and searched it, this child, and this beggar, they are all searched, and they are searched and taken to the government's mansion. ”

The strong man glanced at the woman, the woman hesitated and nodded, and the strong man was about to walk over, when he saw a bag of money being thrown at his feet, and he quickly bent down to pick it up.

On the other side, the scholar let go of his hand in pain, as if he had been bitten by a young man, and the young man's movements were quite neat, and he slipped away before everyone could react.

The strong man shook the money bag up and down, but only poured a few stones out of it, the woman stepped forward and snatched the money bag from the strong man's hand and looked at it, angrily threw the money bag aside, just threw it into the scholar's arms, the scholar held the money bag, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and he didn't throw it away, and it was not even better to return the money bag.

She blinked her eyes and saw Xu Yun who was watching a good show on the side, and saw the mockery in Xu Yun's eyes clearly, and suddenly became angry, and said angrily: "You are next to me when my money bag is gone, I don't mean you and that thief are in the same group, don't even think about leaving today!" ”

Xu Yun casually brushed the broken hair that fell to his shoulders, glanced at the strong man funny, and finally spoke: "If you say so, the person next to you is not even a person?" ”

Xu Yun's voice sounded a little hoarse at this time, and I don't know if it was because he hadn't spoken for too long.

The woman thought for a while before she realized the meaning of Xu Yun's words, and said angrily: "Don't go around me here, look at this unlucky look, dress up as a thief, even if you don't steal my money, you can't tell if you have stolen someone else's, you still have to search!" ”

Fu Rusi felt a little funny, and just said that Xu Yun was dressed as a beggar, and now he is dressed as a thief again, probably in the eyes of this woman, there is no difference between a beggar and a thief, they are both small enough to make her disdainful.

Such an unreasonable appearance is really disgusting, and there are whispers in the crowd, Fu Rusi saw the scholar standing aside and was about to open his mouth to relieve Xu Yun, so he heard Xu Yun say angrily: "You probably know that I don't have anything in it, so you want to clean me up so much, then I have no choice but to fulfill your wish." ”

It is true that although Xu Yun he knows is a little unyielding, he has never been so thick-skinned.

After saying that, she made a gesture to take off her clothes, the woman was angry and ashamed, her face was red, she didn't want to look at Xu Yun any more, she lowered her head and hurriedly took the strong man away, and the people around her saw that there was really nothing lively to see, so they slowly dispersed.
