Chapter 4 Difficulties and Deliverances
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, Xiao Er brought someone over to grab Ji Yueqin and Xiaoyu. Xiao Er is a person like a wall-to-wall grass, and the speed of the rudder when he sees the wind is staggering. As soon as he heard what he said, he remembered the way Ji Yueqin scolded him just now, so he became angry and pinched Ji Yueqin's arm hard. After experiencing the upheaval in her family, Ji Yueqin became even more indifferent, and the lack of her brother's whereabouts made her revenge even heavier.
She turned her head to look at Xiao Er, who was pinching and hurting her, her eyes were as sharp as a knife, Xiao Er couldn't help but be shocked when she looked at this look, so her hand slowly let go. Seeing this, the shopkeeper shouted: "Don't hurry up and arrest these two little female thieves!" ”
Xiao Er's ears seemed to be thunder, and he woke up and regained the strength he had just used to pinch Ji Yueqin. Xiao Yu was grabbed by the arm and struggled vigorously, "What a little female thief!" This is originally Sister Qin's thing, you are framed! "But after all, it's just a girl, and her strength is not as strong as that of a man, so Xiaoyu can't break free from Xiao Er's hands.
Ji Yueqin on the side did not struggle, she knew that if she moved, she would pull the broken blood blisters on her feet, which would only make her more painful, and she knew that struggling was useless. But she couldn't just stand there and wait for death, she knew that if she was really sent to the government, then there was only a dead end waiting for her.
The shopkeeper squinted his eyes and looked at Ji Yueqin, who was silent, to see what this little girl wanted to do. The little fish on the side was still struggling, and at the same time arguing loudly. At this time, because of the movement of Jubaozhuang, the surrounding tea customers and passers-by gathered at the door, saying something to the people next to them, with disdain and ridicule in their eyes, and pointing at Xiaoyu and Ji Yueqin with their fingers. Xiao Yu looked at the people at the door, and remembered that those people had similar expressions when she bought medicine for her father, so she became even more angry, and the blood rushed to her face, making her face even redder.
Ji Yueqin saw that Xiaoyu was treated like this, and her face was completely cold, "Let her go, it's none of her business." ”
Xiao Yu looked at Ji Yueqin in surprise when he heard this, and saw that Ji Yueqin cast a reassuring look at Xiao Yu and continued to stare coldly at the shopkeeper of Jubaozhuang. The shopkeeper looked at Ji Yueqin and said, "The two little female thieves stole property together, why is it none of her business." Why don't you hurry up and tie them up and send them to the government! Another shout, his tone full of disdain.
Ji Yueqin's staring eyes stared directly at the shopkeeper and said, "This hairpin is mine, it has nothing to do with her, you let her go." If you want to kill or chop, listen to it. ”
The shopkeeper listened to Ji Yueqin's words and laughed: "Neighbors, listen, this is the funniest joke I've ever heard." A wild child said that this excellent mutton fat hosta was hers. Look at their dress, I'm afraid they stole something from a rich lady! ”
Ji Yueqin sneered when she heard the shopkeeper's words: "This is my thing, I neither stole nor robbed, I have a clear conscience." She straightened her back, firm as a big rock.
The shopkeeper sneered: "I don't learn well at a young age, and I'm still arguing here." Xiao Yu listened to the shopkeeper's words, and was even more unconvinced, and scolded: "You don't learn well!" You profiteer with a black conscience! ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, his beard curled up, and he said angrily: "Why don't you hurry up and tie them up!" When the little boys heard this, they made great efforts to tie them up. Ji Yueqin didn't struggle, and stood there quietly after saying those words. Xiao Yu was still struggling, shouting, "Let go of me!" Let me go! You profiteer! ”
On the second floor of the Jing Ming Tea House next door sat a man with an average face but extraordinary bearing, who was originally sitting on the second floor of the Jing Ming Tea House and thinking about what had happened in the past few days. But his thoughts were broken by the sound of the quarrel coming from the opposite treasure village, he frowned, and was about to leave, his eyes only glanced at the situation in the treasure house. He looked at the tenacious little girl and felt a little interesting, but he heard the tea customers next to him talking: "I heard that those two little girls stole the hosta of which young lady to sell......
"Not really! She also said that the hosta was hers! After speaking, he pointed his finger at Ji Yueqin, who was standing there quietly, and said.
"Hahahaha, how is this possible! Look at her like that! Another laughed.
His companion nodded in agreement with him, and then continued. When the man heard this, he had a hint of understanding, and what he had thought was interesting seemed to have become boring. He stood up, placed a silver ingot on the table, and shouted, "No need to look for it." Then he prepared to leave.
He turned around, but he caught a glimpse of the other hidden jade pendant on the waist of the girl who was standing quietly, and he vaguely saw the orange warm jade engraved with the southern character, and his heart was shocked, so he wanted to ask the girl how he got the jade pendant. And Ji Yueqin and Xiaoyu were already trapped here, because Xiaoyu kept shouting, and the shopkeeper simply asked someone to plug the cloth of Xiaoyu's mouth. The little fish's face was flushed, but its mouth was gagged, like a ripe tomato.
Just as they were about to take Ji Yueqin and Xiaoyu to the official mansion, the man also walked to the door of the store, and just said softly, "Let them go." "The crowd made way for the man.
The shopkeeper looked at the man at the door, and found that the manhood was lofty, and the jade pendant pinned to his waist also showed that he was not an ordinary person. Then he nodded and said to the man: "This master, this is the little female thief we just caught." Please don't hinder us. ”
When the man heard the shopkeeper's words, he sneered and said, "These are my family's two maidservants, just two rough girls." This hosta is a gift I have given them. Don't let people go yet! His voice was not loud, but it was clear enough for everyone present. Everyone was silent and looked at the man.
The shopkeeper was shocked, but seeing that the man's momentum had a power that did not make people refuse, he had to secretly shout unlucky, "Quickly let them go." ”
The little two took off the cloth from Xiaoyu's mouth, and as soon as the cloth was torn off, Xiaoyu began to scold again: "Dead profiteer, what rag are you stuffing me, it stinks to death!" Phew. The man glanced at Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu saw the cold eyes, and because the man saved her and Ji Yueqin, he stopped making a sound.
Ji Yueqin was still silent, with a trace of doubt in her eyes, she glanced at the man lightly. At the same time, the man was looking at the seven or eight-year-old girl with an inquiring look. The man looked at Ji Yueqin's eyes, with a determined and indomitable look, and there was a strange look that he couldn't read, and the man seemed to be interested in Ji Yueqin again.
After untying Ji Yueqin and Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu pulled Ji Yueqin to stand behind the man. The man thanked the shopkeeper and left with Xiaoyu and Ji Yueqin. When the crowd at the door saw the man leaving with Ji Yueqin and them, they dispersed like birds and beasts. Although the shopkeeper of Jubaozhuang held his breath, he couldn't help it, if he offended this man by not letting people go, he would definitely be the one who was finished. After thinking about it, I felt like I had sent off the plague god, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
After the man walked out of a distance with Ji Yueqin and Xiaoyu, Ji Yueqin looked at the man's back and said, "Thank you." Farewell. Ji Yueqin wanted to leave with Xiaoyu.
When the man heard Ji Yueqin's reply, he chuckled: "Aren't you afraid that I will send you to the official mansion?" ”
Ji Yueqin didn't answer, just stood still and looked at the man. When the man saw that Ji Yueqin didn't move, he also stopped and looked back at her. At this time, Xiaoyu's stomach rumbled, and Xiaoyu lowered his head shyly.
The man didn't feel anything, and smiled, "The girl is hungry." Why don't you go to my house and prepare some food for the girl. ”
As soon as Ji Yueqin wanted to refuse the man, she saw the little fish with a bitter face, and thought that the little girl must be hungry. But Xiao Yu didn't agree to the man's invitation, but just looked at Ji Yueqin, as if he was worried that the man was a bad person.
Ji Yueqin felt that it was inappropriate, and she didn't know who the man was, so she pulled Xiaoyu to take a step back and said, "No need, we're leaving." Thank you Childe for breaking the siege, let's leave it at that. After saying that, he saluted, and was about to leave with the little fish.
The man stared at Ji Yueqin with cold eyes, and he didn't know when he took out a dagger from his waist and put it across Xiaoyu's neck, the man knew that Ji Yueqin would not let him hurt this girl, so he threatened Ji Yueqin with Xiaoyu. It was already night, and there were no pedestrians on the road. The man looked at Ji Yueqin with a sneer and said, "If you don't go, you have to go." ”
Ji Yueqin also lowered her face, and knew that the man would not treat them for no reason, and take them back to the house, Ji Yueqin was worried about Xiaoyu and said, "That's good." We'll go with you. ”
When the man heard this, he took the dagger from between the neck of the little fish and said softly, "Don't try to play tricks, just go with me." ”
Xiao Yu was frightened by the man's behavior, so he took Ji Yueqin's hand and hid behind Ji Yueqin, afraid that the man would continue to threaten him.
Ji Yueqin and Xiaoyu didn't make a sound, they just followed the man, thinking: "I just got out of the tiger's den, and I have to enter Longtan again." ”
