Chapter 21: Phoenix

Su Muran came back to his senses after running far away, and the group of women were obviously teasing him!

It's so embarrassing that I ran away like this. Su Muran covered her face, she really didn't know what to do.

If he goes back now, he will definitely be laughed at by the women, but if he doesn't go back, he doesn't know where to go. The ranch is so big that you won't get lost, but it doesn't seem like there's really much to go.

Just when Su Muran didn't know what to do, a man on a horse not far from him seemed to notice this, and rode his horse towards him.

It was supposed to be a shepherd hired by his father and mother, and he noticed it just now when he was hiding on the hillside, and there were about five or six of them around.

"Little one, whose child are you, and why did you come here?"

The voice was not very friendly, like someone owed him money. Su Muran's eyelids jumped, but for the sake of his first time, he decided that he should be polite.

"I am ......"

"Alright, I don't care where you're from, get out of here now. The man hadn't seen Su Muran, and he saw that he was covered with grass clippings, and thought he was an orphan from somewhere.

Su Muran was a little angry now, and he didn't provoke him, so he was actually scolded, is this his family's ranch okay? Why is this man in front of him so arrogant?

When the man saw Su Muran Su Muran didn't speak, he flicked his horsewhip impatiently and shouted, "Don't you understand the words, kid?

Su Muran was really laughed at, he was already thinking about how to teach this man a lesson.

"What are you doing, Raos, bullying children again?"

Before Su Muran could figure out what to do, another shepherd came over on a horse behind the man.

Laos looked back and sneered: "Phoenix, do you still dare to take care of Lao Tzu's affairs, aren't you afraid of being beaten by me?"

Su Muran glanced at Phoenix, he was in his early thirties, his forehead was very high, and he didn't have any beard, I don't know why Su Muran felt a little familiar when he saw him.

Phoenix rode to a stop not far behind Laos, and said in a deep voice, "Laos, of course I can't beat you in a fight, but you have to think about it, Madame Thetis is in the ranch now." If you don't want to work, just pick and choose. ”

Listening to Phoenix's words, Laos was obviously suppressed, but then he sneered and said to Phoenix: "Since Lady Thetis is in the ranch, then I will give her a face." He glanced at Su Muran, "This little beggar who doesn't know where he came from will be handed over to you to deal with, hmph." With that, he stepped aside on his horse and stared coldly at Phoenix.

Su Muran looked at Laos's stinky face, and really wanted to shave his face with big ears and give his mother a face, who do you think you are?

Phoenix got off the horse, led the horse to Su Muran, and then squatted down to look at him.

"Who are you, kid, why did you come here?"

Su Muran glanced at Laos, who was holding his arms and sneering on the side, and deliberately said loudly: "My name is Achilles, and my mother brought me here." ”

"And who is your mother?"

"My mother's name is Thetis. ”

"What?" Phoenix was stunned for a moment, this kid was actually his young boss? Before he could come back to his senses, Laos, who was sitting on horseback on the other side, had already sneered.

"You little beggar are still lying here?Lady Thetis came alone in the afternoon, and she didn't bring her son with her!" Laos stared at Su Muran like a hungry wolf, "You can deceive people at a young age, I should have cut out your tongue." ”

Phoenix also came back to his senses quickly, but he didn't get angry, but said to Su Muran with a smile: "Little friend, lying is not what a good boy should do, can you tell the truth to your uncle?"

"I am truly the son of Thetis......"

"Hahaha, boy, if you are the son of Madame Thetis, then I am Peleus!" Laos did not believe what Su Muran said, "Alright, Phoenix, get rid of this little thing." ”

Phoenix frowned, he stared at Su Muran tightly, "Little friend, didn't you really lie to your uncle?"

"I swear to you, I definitely didn't lie to you. Su Muran looked into Phoenix's eyes and said seriously.

"Very well, Uncle will take you to Lady Thetis. As he spoke, Phoenix stood up from the ground, stretched out his hand and pulled Su Muran to get on the horse to find Thetis.

"You're crazy, Phoenix, you believe this little beggar. Laos's face darkened, "In case of upsetting Lady Thetis......"

"What upsets me?" a flat woman's voice suddenly came from behind Laos, and he turned his head to look at it, and his face couldn't help but be happy.

"Lady Thetis, the little beggar ......"

"Mom!" Su Muran saw that Thetis didn't know when she actually arrived here, and broke away from Phoenix's hand and threw herself at Thetis.

Laos's neck seemed to be stuck in the pliers, and he could no longer spit out a word. This little beggar is really Madame Thetis's child!

Thetis reached out to catch Su Muran, who was rushing towards her, and turned to Laos and asked, "What did you just say?"

"Lady Thetis, I ......," Laos was speechless in embarrassment.

"Forget it, I don't want to hear it again. Thetis waved her hand like a mosquito, "You can go back now." ”

Laos's face turned pale, "Lady Thetis, please listen to my explanation. ”

"I don't want to hear it, you can go. Thetis pulled Su Muran and was about to leave.

Raos's hand could no longer hold the reins, and he fell off his horse with a "poof". At this moment, even Phoenix was a little sympathetic to him, and after a moment's hesitation, Phoenix still spoke to Thetis head-on.

"Lady Thetis, Laos was rude to him because he didn't know the identity of the little prince, please forgive him this time. ”

didn't expect him to actually intercede for this Laos, Su Muran glanced at Phoenix in a little surprise, it seems that this person is really good.

However, Thetis didn't pay attention to Phoenix at all, and pulled Su Muran without even stopping. In fact, she was not angry because of Laos's rudeness to Su Muran, but because of the sentence "Then I am Peleus" that Laos just said. What kind of thing is that man, and he deserves to be compared to his husband?

Yes, to Thetis, Laos is "the man". To tell the truth, she had seen all the men here, but none of them she could name, because her head would not remember such meaningless things.

Su Muran glanced back at Phoenix, who looked earnest, and Laos, who collapsed on the ground like a dead man, and suddenly said to Thetis: "Mom, you can forgive that Laos once." ”

Thetis frowned, looked at Su Muran and said, "Achilles, weren't you angry just now, why did you plead for him?"

Su Muran looked up at Titis, pretended to be innocent and said, "I was very angry just now, but no matter who it is, I always have to give him a chance to mend his ways, right? Besides, if we just leave, Uncle Phoenix will be very embarrassed." ”

Phoenix glanced at Su Muran gratefully, he didn't expect the little boy to help speak. Laos also came back to his senses, looking at Phoenix and Su Muran's expressions were extremely complicated.

Thetis was also a little surprised, she didn't expect her usually mischievous son to say such a thing. She thought for a moment, then turned back to Laos and said indifferently, "Since my son intercedes for you today, then I will give you another chance, and if I hear it again that disagrees with me, you will not appear here." ”

Laos got up from the ground in prostration, bowing his head and not daring to speak, not even to say words of thanks and apologies. He was really afraid of losing his job, after all, working on the ranch earned five or six times as much as he earned working at home. Not only that, but if he leaves the ranch, maybe the conscription team will come to his house at some point, and the country is still at war.

Su Muran pretended to be happy and lowered her head, but the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneer. He can't let his mother drive this Laos away, the insult he has received must be taken back by his own hands, and sooner or later he will beat him all over the ground to find his teeth.

Thetis pulled Su Muran with one hand, and pointed at Phoenix with the other, "Come here." ”

Phoenix walked over respectfully, "Hello, ma'am. ”

Thetis pulled Su Muran forward by herself, and Phoenix followed behind.

"What's your name?"

"Dear Madam, my name is Phoenix. ”

"What is the relationship between the old ferryman, Ikaon, and you?"

Phoenix replied respectfully, "Icaon is my father." ”

Su Muran looked at him in surprise, he didn't expect him to be Ikaon's son, no wonder he looked a little familiar at first glance.

"I see, I still have something to do, you can help me take care of Achilles. Thetis turned back to him and gave him an order, then bowed her head and said to Su Muran: "Achilles, mother is going to check the warehouse, you can play with this uncle in the afternoon." ”

"Got it, Mom. Su Muran answered, and then Thetis left directly.

Su Muran looked at Thetis's back, and always felt that her mother had changed a lot since she came here today, how can you say that? Su Muran scratched her head, yes!

As soon as Theses arrived at the ranch, she felt much colder, and she was always very gentle at home, but when she got here, she became a little unkind.

Su Muran sighed. Hey, maybe that's the difference between the female president of the city going home and going to work.
