Chapter 44: The Thief
Zhang Xiaohua looked at Tu Su angrily, "There will be thieves!"
For Zhang Xiaohua, who is now like a little money fan, losing money makes her anxious like her own death.
Zhang Xiaohua directly stuffed her son into Tu Su's arms with one hand, "You hold your son, I'll chase him!"
As soon as she ran out of the way, Zhang Xiaohua was pulled back by a huge force.
Tu Su frowned and said to Zhang Xiaohua beside him, "You are optimistic that your son will wait for me here, and I will chase after me!"
Zhang Xiaohua was dumbfounded and watched Tu Su rush out directly after handing over his son to him, before he could react.
Tu Su, who was originally born in Orion, was a piece of cake for such a thing as chasing prey, and the endless flow of people who quickly ran through the crowd was not an obstacle for him at all.
Soon found the trace of the thief, Tu Su quickly followed and wanted to catch the thief, but he didn't expect the other party, and slipped faster after finding that someone had caught up.
The two battled wits and courage, shuttling between shops, and finally forced the thief into a dead end, and Tu Su walked in directly.
"Give me the money bag and I can spare your life. Tu Su looked at the thin thief in front of him.
The thief looked at Tu Su in front of him with a frightened face, and took the money in his arms tightly, "Don't give it!"
Tu Su didn't expect the thief to not give it, so his face turned cold, "Then don't blame me for my hard fists." ”
"Don't hit me!" The thief curled up in the corner and watched Tu Su raise his fist, and suddenly closed his eyes in fear.
Seeing that the other party was so weak, Tu Su's fist was immediately put away, after all, he didn't have the hobby of bullying the weak, but this thief took his own money bag, of course, he couldn't just let it go so easily.
After careful observation, the thief was just a child about ten years old, and such a thin figure could not withstand his own punches, so he should look like a boy.
His hair was messy, and his clothes were in tatters, as if he hadn't eaten a full meal in a long time, and he was already hungry.
Tu Su took a deep breath, and then stabilized his emotions and said to the thief in front of him, "If you bring me the money, I won't beat you." ”
The thief seemed to be afraid of Tu Su's fist, so he took out the money bag in his arms and threw it over, "Give it, give it to you......"
Tu Su picked up the money bag on the ground, weighed it, and didn't seem to have a small amount, and then asked, "What about the adults in your family?"
"I'm an orphan who has no parents since I was a child, and I can only make a living by stealing things......"
The thief opened his mouth at this moment, and the more he spoke, the more he felt wronged, and tears appeared in his eyes.
Hearing Tu Su's original tough attitude here, he softened a lot at this time, after all, he was also a person with a son, and asked again, "How old are you?"
The thief said timidly, "Fifteen years old......
After hearing this, Tu Su immediately stopped talking, after all, a fifteen-year-old child should have grown very tall, and now this child is only about the size of a ten-year-old child, and it seems that he has indeed suffered a lot of hunger.
"I'll give you a string of copper plates, you can take them to buy food, and you are not allowed to steal anything again!" Tu Su took out a string of copper coins from his money bag in a serious tone and threw it over.
The thief looked at the money thrown by the opposite side, and immediately became happy, and then picked up the money and put it in his arms.
Tu Su scolded the person in front of him with a cold face at this time, "I often have to come to the town, if you are caught by me stealing other people's money in the town, then don't blame me for beating you up and arresting you to the government." ”
"Hmm...... Got it. The thief could only nod his head at this point.
After Tu Su said this, he turned around and left with the money bag, and just after walking a few steps, he happened to meet Zhang Xiaohua who was chasing after him.
"Did you get the money bag back?" Zhang Xiaohua looked at Tu Su with blank eyes.
Tu Su spread out his palm and showed the money bag in his hand, "I got it." ”
"That's good, that's good. Zhang Xiaohua finally breathed a sigh of relief, after all, her money bag was stolen, which was not a trivial matter.
Tu Su took two steps and told Zhang Xiaohua about the thief just now, and Zhang Xiaohua suddenly felt some pity.
After all, such a young child can only steal things to make ends meet, and if he goes to work for others, others will not accept it, so he can only maintain his life in this way.
Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while, turned her head to the man next to her and said, "Let's go and see again, that kid is still there, right? ”
Tu Su nodded, "Well, let's go take a look." ”
The two searched for a long time, and finally found the dirty thief who was still nibbling on steamed buns on the street corner.
Looking at the emaciated child trying to nibble on steamed buns in the corner of the wall, it really touched the softest string in Zhang Xiaohua's heart.
Zhang Xiaohua walked over to him very gently, "Child, you come with me, and I will find you a job." ”
The child looked at Zhang Xiaohua in disbelief, "Really?"
The little radish head also got down from Zhang Xiaohua's arms at this time, and asked in a low voice, "Is this the little brother?"
"Hmm. Zhang Xiaohua nodded.
After simple persuasion, the child still decided to believe Zhang Xiaohua, so Zhang Xiaohua's family walked in front, and the child followed behind and nibbled on steamed buns.
When bringing people to Qi Xun's shop, Qi Xun was just about to pack up and leave, but he didn't expect Zhang Xiaohua's family to actually turn back.
Qi Xun looked at Zhang Xiaohua's family with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled at the people not far away, "I'm here to recruit you a shopkeeper who does miscellaneous work." ”
Qi Xun's face was dazed, "What?
After talking about these things, although Qi Xun didn't have much empathy, he nodded after thinking about it.
Qi Xun looked at the child standing next to him with disgust, "It's okay to let me take this child as a shopkeeper, but you have to wash him, it's so dirty, what if it scares my guests?"
Zhang Xiaohua laughed, knowing that Qixin was naturally also a knife-mouthed tofu heart, so she patted the child's shoulder, "How simple it is to wash it up." ”
Tu Su led the child to a nearby inn alone, boiled hot water, took a bath, and bought two sets of clothes.
Qi Xun thought about it and knew that such a young child couldn't do anything, so he arranged some simple things, "You can let him live in the store directly, and help clean the store and attract customers every day." ”
Zhang Xiaohua pondered for a moment, and then said, "Let's pay one or two pieces of silver every month." ”
The child was dumbfounded, "So many?"
Zhang Xiaohua looked at the child in front of her with a beautiful face after washing, although she was a little thinner, but it was not in the way, she reached out and touched his head, "As long as you do a good job, there will be more money!"
