Chapter 442: Stealing

Yu Yuanxuan chose two of her favorites from the many scarves.

She was about to pay for it, when the man next to her reached out and put a small piece of silver on the stall.

Yu Yuan turned his head to look at the man, pursed his lips and smiled.

"Is this a gift from you?"

Xiao Ti avoided answering: "Are you still shopping?" ā€

Yu Yuanwan nodded without hesitation: "Of course!" ā€

"Let's go, then."

"Hmm!"

Yu Yuanxuan took the wrapped scarf from the stall owner's hand, and as soon as she turned around, a little beggar hurriedly ran over and hit her head.

She was knocked over and nearly fell.

Fortunately, Xiao Ti stepped out in time to hug her waist.

When she was on her feet, he quickly withdrew his hand.

The little beggar's face was dirty, and he couldn't tell his age.

His body was very thin and thin, a head shorter than Yu Yuan, his clothes were rotten, his hair was messy, and his body exuded a foul smell.

He kept bowing towards Yu Yuan, and he was still talking about something.

But because he spoke Liangzhou dialect, Yu Yuanxuan couldn't understand it.

She could only ask the men around her.

"What does this kid say?"

As a native of Liangzhou, Xiao Ti naturally understands the words here.

"He's apologizing to you, he said he didn't mean to bump into you," he translated. ā€

Yu Yuan rubbed his waist, which was hit a little painfully: "Forget it, it's not a big deal." ā€

Xiao Ti asked the little beggar to leave.

The little beggar, as if he had been pardoned, turned and ran.

Yu Yuan's hand rubbed his waist twice, and suddenly found that the purse that was originally hanging on his waist was gone!

She reacted quickly and shouted at the little beggar's back.

"Stop! Give me back my purse! ā€

When the little beggar heard her shout, instead of stopping, he ran faster.

Yu Yuanxuan wanted to chase after him, but was pulled by Xiao Ti.

"You wait here, I'll chase you."

After saying that, he performed light skills and chased after him at an unattainable speed.

How can Yu Yu stay?

There's most of her worth in that purse!

Now she is short of money, and if she can't get it back, she will die of distress.

"Wait for me!" Yu Yuan also followed with the hem of her skirt.

The little beggar was very familiar with the terrain here, and the small figure walked quickly through the streets and alleys, and after turning left and right, the figure behind him finally disappeared.

The little beggar was tired of running for so long.

He leaned against the wall and gasped, secretly glad that he had shaken the guy off.

He wiped the sweat from his face, then took out his purse from his bosom and looked at it, there were many broken pieces of silver in it, and a stack of silver tickets.

More than he expected.

He was a little happy, but also a little worried.

Thankfully, with this money, his sister's illness was saved.

The worry is that the young lady just lost such a large amount of money, and she will definitely be in a hurry.

The little beggar clutched his purse, trying to suppress the guilt in his heart.

His sister's illness is getting worse and worse, and he has no other way, for the sake of his sister, he can only be a bad person.

He put his purse back in his arms and ran forward.

Before he could run two steps, he was stopped by a figure falling from the sky.

Xiao Ti stood there straight, the afterglow of the setting sun behind him gilding him with a golden glow.

His face was hidden under the hat, and his voice was as cold as ice.

"Hand over your purse."

The little beggar didn't expect the other party to catch up, so frightened that he quickly turned around and ran.

Xiao Ti didn't catch up again this time.

He raised his hand and pressed it against the scabbard of the knife of no return, and swept forward.

The scabbard came out of his hand and flew straight at the little beggar's back.

The little beggar couldn't see what was behind him, he could only feel a strong gust of wind flying towards him.

Immediately after that, he felt a pain in his back, and the whole person threw himself forward.

The little beggar endured the pain in his back and struggled to get up.

Xiao Ti said coldly.

"If you run again, the next time you will be hit will not be the scabbard, but the knife in my hand."

This sentence succeeded in scaring the little beggar.

He didn't dare to act rashly anymore.

Xiao Ti walked over slowly, and the no-return knife in his hand reflected a bright light.

He pointed the tip of his knife at the little beggar and said.

"I'll say it one last time, hand over the purse."

The little beggar looked at the sharp tip of the knife that was close at hand, and trembled with fright.

He hesitated, but finally handed over the purse.

He wasn't afraid of death, he was afraid that after he died, there would be no one to take care of his sister.

He must live, and only by living can he find hope.

Xiao Ti took the purse, but did not let go of the little beggar.

"Get up, follow me to the officer."

The little beggar was in a hurry.

He got up on his hands and feet, knelt on the ground and pleaded.

"Please, don't take me to see the official, I can't go to prison, please raise your noble hand and let me go this time!"

After saying that, he kowtowed vigorously.

At this time, Yu Yuanxuan finally caught up.

She ran out of breath, her little face flushed, and her head was covered with sweat.

"I—I've found you."

Xiao Ti frowned: "Didn't you say that you should wait in place?" ā€

Yu Huan's physical strength was almost exhausted.

At this time, she couldn't even stand steadily, so she could only lean on Xiao Ti's body and said weakly.

"You're embarrassed to say me, you ran so fast, left me there alone, what if a bad guy kidnaps me? Of course I'm going to follow you. ā€

Xiao Ti was helpless: "Are you okay?" ā€

"It's okay, it's just a little tired, just let me rest for a while."

Xiao Ti returned the purse to her.

Yu Yuan put away his purse, took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his head, his eyes fell on the little beggar, and he was angry.

"You stinky kid, you don't learn, you actually learn to steal things, do you know that stealing is a crime?!"

The little beggar was still kowtowing: "Please don't arrest me and go to the official, you can do whatever I want, as long as you don't let me go to jail." ā€

This time, he used the official dialect of Liangzhou, and Yu Yuanxuan could understand it.

Seeing that he had broken his forehead, his appearance was really pitiful, and Yu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

"Why do you steal when you don't want to go to jail?"

The little beggar cried, "My sister is sick, but I don't have the money to see her and get medicine, so I can only ...... I can only steal it, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I'll kowtow to you, please spare me this time! ā€

Yu Yuanxuan didn't expect that there was an inside story here, so he asked.

"How old is your sister? What disease did she have? ā€

Little beggar: "She is seven years old this year, I don't know what disease she has, she will be very uncomfortable when she breathes, always coughing, and today she started to have a fever, I don't know what to do, I want to find a doctor for her, but I can't get the consultation fee, the doctor is not willing to see her." ā€

As he spoke, he whimpered.
