On the second day of the morning, Meng Yan woke up early, gently put down the girl in his arms, got up and pushed open the window. The east in front of me has already revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly, and the rain has finally stopped.

The girl rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up as well. "Brother, why are you so early today?" She asked.

Meng Yan smiled lightly, cleaned quickly, and then walked to the next room and dragged out Xuan'e, who had been lying in the quilt and refused to get up.

Carrying the girl, Meng Yan looked at Xuan'e, who seemed to be frowning, and couldn't help but feel a sense of amusement in his heart.

"It was unexpected, this indifferent woman was angry that she couldn't sleep a little longer." Meng Yan thought to herself, "Although she looks very mature, she still retains some childishness, plus she doesn't know the world, where did she grow up?" ”

Following the guidance of the Song doctor, Meng changed the direction of his progress and continued to march eastward. Within a few days, they arrived in Chuzhou.

"It's a huge city." Meng Yan entered the city gate and exclaimed, "The city with the port is really different! ”

This feeling is really good, the bustling streets, the endless stream of vendors, compared to Chenzhou, it is like two cities.

"Brother, are we going to spend the night here?" The girl behind her asked.

Meng Yan shook his head: "No need, let's go to the dock now, get on the boat as soon as possible, and spend the night on the ship tonight." ”

The girl exclaimed excitedly, "Well, I've never been on a boat before!" ”

Meng smiled back, and was just about to look for someone to ask for directions to the dock, when suddenly he noticed that there seemed to be some movement ahead, and curiosity drove him to take a closer look.

At a glance, Meng Yan's heart burned with anger, it turned out that several people who looked like family members were beating a young boy, and the young man had fallen to the ground, rolling with his head in his hands, and the scene was heart-wrenching. There was a young man standing next to him with a temperament like a son, shouting: "Beat him hard, if you kill him, I will bear all the consequences for you!" "There was an endless stream of onlookers, but no one stopped them.

Meng put down the girl in his arms and stepped forward to stop the atrocities of those people. He said angrily: "Under the blue sky and the vast heaven and earth, how can you commit such atrocities! Lend a hand! As soon as he raised his hand, he pushed a man who wanted to continue the violence several meters away.

"Who are you? Is it with this thief? The young man was jealous when he saw such a strong force as Meng Anti.

"So it's a thief?" Meng Yan glanced at the young man on the ground, "Even if he is a thief, he shouldn't be provoked to death." Since you have discovered him, and he has not stolen anything, why do you want to go so far as to beat him like this? Be lenient and let him live. He spoke calmly, trying to free the boy.

The young man saw that the situation was not right, so he found an excuse: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Since this brother is pleading, then I don't care about him in general. Let's go. He waved his hand to signal the family members to leave, but as soon as he turned his head, he found Xuan'e in the crowd, and his eyes were glazed

Under the gaze of the young man, Xuan'e seemed to have caught his attention. Meng Yan picked up the young man on the ground and asked with concern, "Are you okay...... Hey? It turned out to be you? His gaze fell on the young man's face, and then anger welled up in his heart, "What a strange thing, it's you little thief!" I shouldn't have come to the rescue if I knew it earlier. It turned out that the young man was the culprit who stole Meng Anti's money bag that day, so that Meng Anti had to experience an overlord meal again.

"Hmph, I remember you, you're the guy who eats the overlord's meal...... No one asks you for help. The young man squinted at Meng Yan and said with a sneer.

How dare you say such a thing to my face? If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up in that overlord meal? How much pain have I suffered, you guy! Meng was angry.

Big brother, what's wrong? A young girl and a Xuan'e walked over.

Sister, you see, it was this thief who stole our money bags. Say, "How shall we punish him?" Meng was furious.

Oh, aren't you the little girl who dances the snake? The young man asked strangely, then turned to Meng Anti, and said without moving: Don't talk nonsense! If it weren't for the fact that you were enjoying an overlord meal with a woman at that store a few days ago, how would I have chosen to steal you? ... Besides, in addition to paying for the meal, almost all the money I stole was given to this little girl, why are you going to discipline me?

Oh? So, you stole me because of what happened before... Meng is a reasonable person, for the previous conflict, he admitted that he was also wrong, and after listening to the young man's explanation, his anger calmed down slightly.

Brother, forget it, he looks quite pathetic... When the girl saw the young man's embarrassed look, she couldn't bear it.

Since I didn't do it right in the first place, I won't bother with you... But why did you steal that boy just now? Meng asked rhetorically.

The young man sneered: That lewd is as lustful as a wolf, relying on his father to have some foundation in the officialdom, and often robs people's daughters, and commits many crimes. If I don't steal him, who else will I steal? ... Also, the way I looked at you just now wasn't right, you'd better get out of here. When he said this, his eyes were on Xuan'e, but the latter was expressionless and noncommittal.

So you're a righteous man? Isn't that too conceited? Meng smiled defiantly.

The young man puffed up his chest and said confidently: My surname is Li, and my name is Li Nianchen. My dream is to become a thief, but the conditions don't allow it right now... The boy was slightly lost.

Meng shook his head and sighed: Although your ideal sounds good, the reality may not be so. It is better to advise you to go home and farm honestly.

Why? Don't think I'm qualified to dictate to me if you help me! Although I am grateful for the picture, after becoming a hero, sooner or later I will repay your kindness... The world is extremely sinister, and if no one stands up for justice, evil is bound to grow. The boy is firm and authentic, and seems to have an unshakable faith in his heart.

Meng Yan looked at the young man's resolute eyes, sighed softly, and couldn't help but think of what happened to Han Lingsha's family, he was moved by the young man's faith and determination, but he didn't know how to speak.

Brother, aren't we heading to the docks? Don't delay here! Although the girl was reluctant to delve into the matter of the teenager's theft, she obviously didn't have a good impression of the guy who beat her brother on the street, and urged Meng to move on.

So you're going to the docks... Li Nianchen perked up, let me send you there, it can be regarded as repaying my life-saving grace.

Okay, then I'm sorry for you. Meng Yan originally wanted to continue to persuade Li Nianchen, but seeing his firm attitude, he agreed.

Then come with me. The young man led the way with great interest, and Meng Yan carried the girl on his back and followed closely.
