Chapter IV: Resolving the Crisis
In Qingyun City, the number of beggars is still relatively large.
When Wu Di was young, he often encountered rich businessmen or wealthy people who gave away rice porridge and steamed buns to the poor, which was not unusual.
However, Wu Di really hadn't heard of the lord who could give alms for three months in a row, and occasionally give back the scattered silver.
"Five years ago, I never heard of Luo Mansion in the east of the city, which has a rich family? Did you move here in the past few years? But being able to give alms for three months in a row shows that this Luo Linger girl's heart is indeed kind. ”
Wu Diduo glanced at Luo Ling'er on the steps a few times, although she was as beautiful as a fairy, there was no intoxication in his eyes, but he was deeply moved by her kindness.
Unfortunately, sometimes, people who are too kind will be bullied. ”
Wu Di sighed and shook his head, and at this time, four maids walked out of the mansion.
Two of them, carrying a basket of hot steamed buns, and the other two carrying a plate of loose silver, after Luo Linger nodded in agreement, the four of them walked down the steps.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the last almsgiving, and you will not come tomorrow. Luo Linger bowed to the beggars and said.
What was even more speechless was that most of the beggars threw away their sticks and surrounded the two maids with the silver taels, and in an instant they robbed the scattered silver on the tray.
"Hey, Luo Ling'er, everyone's great cause, there are still more than 20 people who haven't gotten the silver. A middle-aged beggar rolled his eyes, glared at Luo Linger and asked coldly.
Luo Ling'er's little face flushed to the base of her neck.
"That'...... Isn't there still steamed buns?"
"I don't want steamed buns today, I want silver. ”
"Do you want to give it or not? Don't want to go out today. Brothers, fence off the gates of the house. ”
......
There were more than 20 beggars who didn't grab the silver, and all of them rushed to the door of the mansion, so frightened that Luo Ling'er's face was disgraced and her delicate body trembled, and she hurriedly hid behind five subordinates with sticks.
Opposite Luofu, Wu Di's face sank.
It was not sold to the quarry back then, and Wu Di had seen a few alms from wealthy merchants and landlords, but he had never seen a beggar like this, and he couldn't even look down on steamed buns.
"You...... Don't be like this, and be unreasonable again, I'm ...... We'll go to the government office to report to the official. Luo Linger was so frightened that even her voice began to tremble.
"Don't scare people with the prefect, we are poor and jingle, it's a big deal to eat a few boards and be caught in the cell, so you don't have to worry about eating. ”
"Luo Ling'er, don't say that we are bullying you, your family has a big business, and it is not short of twenty or thirty taels of silver, take it out and send us away. ”
......
The tone is aggressive, shameless and unreasonable.
Luo Ling'er's teeth bit her scarlet lip, and there was gradually more mist in her eye sockets, so she really had no choice but to drag the maid green butterfly beside her.
"Again...... and take thirty taels of silver, and ...... Send them away. ”
"Miss, they're obviously bullying. ”
"Obedient, hurry up and get it. ”
"I ....... ”
The maid Qingdie pursed her mouth, turned around and glared at the more than twenty beggars fiercely, and stomped her feet in anger and turned around and walked towards the courtyard.
"Wait!"
As soon as the maid Qingdie stepped into the threshold with one foot, a loud voice came from the back of the crowd.
"It's really the size of the world!"
Wu Di smiled lightly as he walked through the crowd, walked up the steps, turned around and glanced at more than twenty beggars.
"I've been looking at it for a long time, and I really can't figure out how some people's skin is thicker than the city wall? People don't give steamed buns and silver taels, you want steamed buns and silver taels. People took out steamed buns and silver taels, and you don't think it's enough, do you want to give you all Luofu?"
More than twenty beggars glanced at Wu Di a few times, and most of them burst out laughing in an instant.
"Hey, little beggar, which one of your strengths are you wrong? Or have you eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall? If you feel that your mouth is idle, there are flattened steamed buns on the ground, go to the corner and squat to eat. The middle-aged beggar pointed at Wu Di and scolded angrily.
Wu Di smiled.
"What if I don't get out?"
"Then I'll roll you over. ”
The middle-aged beggar took a step forward with a glare, stretched out his right hand and grabbed Wu Di's collar.
But before his hand touched Wu Di's collar, he saw Wu Di suddenly raise his right foot and kick it on the middle-aged beggar's lower abdomen.
This kick carried spiritual power, although the force was not very heavy, but it also kicked the middle-aged beggar more than five meters away, fell to the ground with a bang, and coughed up two mouthfuls of blood in succession.
This move can surprise the people around him.
Luo Linger covered her scarlet mouth and stood behind with her eyes wide open, never expecting that this young man of her age would be able to kick an adult beggar away.
"It's really embarrassing. There are thousands of shops on the main street, and you have the ability to rob them? Do you feel ashamed and blush when you are a benefactor who bullies a girl here and gives you three months of rice porridge and steamed buns? Don't you feel ashamed and blush?"
"Little knight, we know it's wrong, let's get out now, and never come back again. ”
"Sir, you are angry, and we will disappear immediately. ”
......
Able to kick the middle-aged beggar with one kick, more than 20 people are very knowledgeable, knowing that the master in front of them is not easy to mess with, two people ran out of the crowd to help the middle-aged beggar, nodded at Wu Di and retreated sharply, and disappeared at the end of the alley in a blink of an eye.
Looking at Wu Di again, he didn't mean to stay anymore after adjusting his clothes, and set a direction and walked down the alley to the south.
In Wu Di's memory, the casinos in the city were all in the south of the city, and he had to go from house to house to find it, and he might find his father by luck.
"Little knight, you stay. ”
Wu Di had just walked more than ten meters when a whisper suddenly came from behind him.
Turning around, Wu Di glanced at Luo Ling'er who was chasing after him, his expression was obviously stunned.
"Little knight, thank you for breaking the siege, otherwise it would be really difficult to end today, please accept Ling'er's worship. ”
"You're welcome!"
Wu Di was about to leave after speaking, but was stopped by Luo Linger walking a few steps.
"Little knight, I see that you are very fresh, is it the first time you have come to Qingyun City?"
"Uh...... Neither is it. It's just that I just came back after five years of absence, and I slept by the doorpost when I was tired of walking last night. Alright, I'm leaving. ”
"Wait, little knight, I have five taels of silver here, although it is not a lot, but it will also allow you to buy a set of clothes. Luo Linger took out a piece of silver from her bosom and offered it with both hands.
Wu Di's face sank and he didn't pick it up.
He didn't come forward to solve the siege for money, and he didn't want to get a trace of benefit from Luo Ling'er.
But if he bluntly refuses, Wu Di feels that something is wrong, the girl is kind enough to give silver, so she can't make people blush, right?
"Miss Luo, I don't need silver. If you want to repay my favor, I'll take one of your steamed buns. ”
Wu Di smiled and picked up a steamed bun from the ground, bypassed Luo Ling'er and wiped the dust on it with his clothes as he walked, took a bite and disappeared into the sight of Luo Linger and the others.
"Little ...... Miss, don't look at it, everyone is gone. The maid Qingdie touched Luo Ling'er's slender waist, pursed her lips, looked at Luo Ling'er in a daze with a strange look, and whispered.
"Ahh......h
"Miss, do you want me to help you get it back?" The gaze in the maid's eyes became even more weird, and her voice was lowered.
"Chasing, chasing, chasing?"
"Miss, don't pretend to be confused, it's written in your eyes. But ah, the boy was quite interesting. Although he was dressed like a beggar, his character was very good, unlike the group of people who couldn't move when they saw the silver. ”
"yes!"
Luo Linger sighed, seeing that the maid Qingdie was smiling even more weirdly, as if she had guessed what Qingdie was thinking, she suddenly wrinkled her nose and snorted.
"Don't think nonsense, go home!"
Luo Linger turned around and walked towards the door of the mansion, but at the moment when she stepped on the steps and was about to enter the mansion, her steps paused slightly, and she looked sideways in the direction where Wu Di disappeared, and after a few seconds, she showed an incomprehensible smile and walked into the mansion.
