Chapter 18: Pull a hand when it matters

Cang Ming tightened his body, protecting the vital point, and let those people punch and kick him.

In fact, in terms of fists and feet, he may not be able to beat these people, even if he comes to him a few more, he can settle it, but how can he not bow his head when he is under the low eaves.

The days to come are still long, and he has to earn wages on the docks, feed his sister, and heal her, so he can't offend these snakes.

The blood on his forehead ran down the corners of his eyes and into his eyes, staining his vision red.

In a blur, he saw the crowd parting, and a graceful figure slowly approaching.

All sounds seemed to be still, and he tried to raise his head to see her face, but the blood in front of him blocked his vision, and he only felt that the people who had beaten him dispersed.

Then, the figure quietly retreated, and the crowd surrounded him again.

"Brother Cangming!" A fifteen-year-old boy jumped up and hugged him, his clothes were in tatters, and he was also a coolie working on the docks, "How are you?" He asked with concern.

Cang Ming wiped the blood from his eyes, "It's okay...... Are they gone? He couldn't believe it was so easy for those snakes to let him go.

"Cangming, you kid has met a kind-hearted person." An old man who had just been watching just now spoke.

Cang Ming was supported by the young man, staggered to his feet, looked at him with a blank face, and the young man explained: "Just now, a fairy sister gave those people silver, so they let you go." ”

"Silver? Fairy sister? Cang Ming finally understood, what he saw just now was not an illusion, and the slender figure really seemed to be a fairy descending to earth.

The old man looked at Cang Ming in a trance, and said with concern: "You better go back early today, don't let your sister worry at home." ”

Shi Niang's carriage stopped not far away.

Raising the curtain, Xiao Cui said, "Girl, he really wants to go back." ”

"Keep up with him." Shi Niang instructed the coachman.

The carriage followed behind Cang Ming, and continued along the river, turning around and coming to a secluded alley.

Shi Niang sat in the carriage and faintly heard a commotion outside, mixed with the crying of a woman.

As the carriage moved, those voices became clearer and clearer.

"You go out and have a look." She instructed Xiao Cui.

Xiaocui picked up the curtain and went out, and came back after a while, "It's a landlord who is urging to pay the rent, and the people who rent the house can't afford it, so the landlord drives them out." After a pause, Xiaocui asked, "Girl, do you want to go out and have a look?" That man seems to be the one who was beaten on the dock just now......"

Shi Niang nodded, and Xiao Cui raised the curtain.

At this time, the sun outside was westward, and the remnant sun was like blood, shining obliquely at the mouth of the alley.

Shi Niang got out of the carriage, but saw a group of people gathered at the door of a mud house in front of her.

The man who had been beaten on the dock just now hurried over and helped a thin girl who was kneeling on the ground.

Shi Niang's eyes fell on the thin girl, she was about twelve or thirteen years old, and her appearance was good, but her face was sallow, and she looked like a person who had been sick for a long time.

Shi Niang couldn't hear what they were saying, but she saw that the girl kept crying and knelt down again and again, as if asking the landlord.

The landlord looked furious, and ordered a few men to go into the house and throw their belongings into the street one by one.

Shi Niang glanced at it, and no one picked it up even if it was thrown on the street.

Xiaocui helped her out of the carriage, and Shi Niang walked over to the landlord and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

The voice was cold, and even Xiao Cui couldn't help but tremble, and looked at Shi Niang in disbelief.

The landlord saw that although Shi Niang was dressed strangely, she was dressed well, and at a glance, he knew that it was not a material that ordinary women could afford, so he changed his smile and said: "This girl, their family has been paying their debts for almost half a year, and I can only drink wind after I don't kick them out." ”

Shi Niang looked each other up and down, wearing gold and silver, and looked like an upstart.

How much rent can you collect in a year for such a broken mud house, do you drink the wind? What about liars!

Cang Ming hugged the little sister beside him, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes when he looked at Shi Niang.

This woman's figure looks like the one I saw on the dock just now!
