A white-robed woman with a jade pendant on her head, her pretty face also had a gentle smile on her face. She stepped on her lotus feet and came in front of Liu Wuqing.
"I saw your smug smile from far away. How come-which fool fell for your trick again?”
Liu Wuqing grabbed her hand.
"No, it's that Old Man Xu's fault. He randomly found a nameless painting and came to the Jueqing Manor to cheat me of my money. I just took the opportunity to get a sum of money from him and teach him a lesson.”
"How dare you say that? Which man dares to marry a woman who is stronger than him? If you don't restrain your shrewdness in the business world, how are you going to find a husband in the future?”Shen Cuirong gently knocked on her head.
"Aiyo, Sister Cuirong, you're really willing to make a move. I'm going to complain to YiNiang that you bullied her cute little niece.”
Liu Wuqing pursed his lips and rubbed his forehead. "Moreover, Sister Cuirong isn't married yet, so how could it be my turn? I don't dare to steal Sister Cuirong's glory.”
"Nonsense. If I don't get married, you won't get married either?”Shen Cuirong teased her with a smile.
"Of course!" Liu Wuqing said confidently.
Suddenly, she remembered something she had not done.
"By the way, Sister Rong, I almost forgot that I have a debt to collect in Eastern Jiujiang. I'll rush back before sunset. Remember to wait for me to eat!”After giving her instructions, she hurriedly turned around.
Looking at Liu Wuqing's back, Shen Cuirong still had a clear and satisfied smile on her face. She liked the happy days of bickering with her lover. This was the reason why she lived here for a long time. As long as she could see her lover's cute face every day, she would be satisfied.
The autumn tiger's tail swept across the mountains, lighting up the green leaves of the forest. The sound of autumn cicadas lingered around the entire mountain, adding a touch of autumn to the scene.
Without the heat of summer or the cold of winter, the cool autumn afternoon made people sleepy.
The man closed his eyes and rested his hands behind his head. He leaned leisurely against the tree trunk behind him. The little person sitting in front of him could not stand such good sleeping weather and also dozed off.
Suddenly, the little one woke up.
"Master, listen. There seems to be some argument in front.”
Behind the little one, the man whose eyes were still closed only brushed away a handful of hair that had been blown to his forehead by the wind. Then, he continued to leisurely lean against the tree to rest. He did not have any other reaction to the little one's call.
" Master, Master…" He decided to keep up the good work.
The man was disturbed, and his two thick eyebrows were slightly furrowed. The little one saw his reaction and knew that he was impatient. He quickly shut his mouth, but his small eyes could not help but glance forward.
I don't like him shouting, so I won't shout. But…there's a sound ahead!
Ever since he caught that monkey in the forest, he had never left the forest. He had not seen or heard anyone for two days and was almost bored to death. Now that someone had finally come here, how could he not be excited?
She knew that it was not suitable for her to go out today after she stepped out of the door.
She had only taken a few steps when she bumped into a few reckless passers-by. The dirty water that came out of nowhere even splashed the hem of the carriage that passed by quickly.
Liu Wuqing was vexed. The heavens had given her so many hints. She should have realized at that time that she should have returned home and changed her schedule to go to the east of the city!
It was better than now…
Sigh--
Three burly men had appeared out of nowhere in front of her, clearly not allowing her to continue forward. No matter how stupid a person was, they should know that these people had bad intentions. The wilderness was probably filled with bandits!
"Yo, little girl, I heard that there are many wolves that eat people without spitting out bones nearby. Aren't you afraid of entering this forest alone?”One of the tall and strong men spoke, his pair of shifty eyes sizing up the rare pretty girl.
"Why don't you let your brothers escort the little girl? It'll be livelier if we all go together. I'm the most familiar with this place, where is the little girl going? Just tell us." The other fat man grinned with his sausage-like lips.
"There's no need. I know this road too. There's no need to trouble you to lead the way.”
Liu Wuqing refused. At the same time, he looked around to see if there were any escape routes.
"Don't be so rude! Brother, we invited you out of goodwill!”
The last man, who was the shortest, bared his yellow teeth and stared at her with a devilish gaze.
Liu Wuqing hid the disgust on his face. " We've never met before. There's no need to go through so much trouble. I'll just go through the forest alone. Thank you, everyone. I'll take my leave first…"
Just as she turned around and was about to run, her arm was grabbed by a fat toot.
"Aiyaya! The little girl is really rude. We've said so much, but she wants to leave without saying a word of thanks.”the fat man said as he squeezed his way to her.
Staring at that fat face that was about to drip oil, Liu Wuqing resisted the urge to vomit. He hurriedly wanted to shake off that greasy fat palm.
"What do you want?"
The three men looked at each other, and the evil smile on their lips made her feel even more disgusted.
"What do you want? Hehe, little girl, you don't think we wasted so much saliva and don't want compensation, do you? You should at least leave some money behind to comfort us three brothers!”
"I don't have money." Even if there were some small pieces of silver, she did not want to give them away.
"No money? It doesn't matter. If you don't have money, it's fine to use you to comfort us. I think my brothers will be very happy to do so.”
The man with yellow teeth continued to laugh lewdly." That's right, that's right. I'm so excited just thinking about how such a beautiful little girl is serving us. After we play with her, we'll send her to Boss…"
Liu Wuqing didn't let the filthy words continue to appear. He took advantage of the fat man's drooling and absent-minded state and kicked him hard in the crotch.
The fat man bent over and cried out in pain. He let go of her hand, and she took the opportunity to break free and quickly escaped into the forest.
"It hurts! Hurry, hurry up and chase that wretched girl back!”
Without waiting for him to say anything, the other two men had already chased after her in the direction she had fled.
"Wretched girl, don't even think about running!"
A hoarse growl followed closely behind Liu Wuqing. She did not dare to turn her head back. She rushed forward desperately, afraid that the evil people who were chasing after her would catch up.
Damn it!
Why was there no one nearby? She couldn't even ask for help. What should she do? She might not be able to outrun the villain behind her…
Eh? There seemed to be a shadow under the big tree ahead.
It was a human, it was a human! Liu Wuqing blinked his large eyes to confirm that what he saw was not an illusion.
That was great! This meant that she was saved.
She waved her hand and shouted. "Hey, hey, help…help!”
Liu Wuqing ran toward the two figures under the giant tree.
"Help! There are three thieves chasing me, please help…"
Her voice disappeared as she stared at the wooden tablet in front of her " savior ". Her eyes suddenly widened as she muttered the words carved on the wooden tablet,"
Pawning one person, but raising two people for a month.
What…what was this?
Liu Wuqing realized that her head was in a knot. She had seen all sorts of things that could be pawned, but she had never seen " being a person ".
The constant curses from behind pulled her back to her senses. She didn't have time to think about it. She didn't care. She would ask for help first!
She glanced at the little boy in ragged clothes. This little boy who looked like a child servant was squatting behind the wooden sign. He was covering his mouth and constantly casting curious gazes at her.
Her gaze quickly swept past the little boy and looked at the man with his eyes closed under the tree behind her.
"Young master, please help me. I met robbers and they are chasing after us.”
Why wasn't there any reaction?
Liu Wuqing looked at the man who had not moved at all in surprise. Was he deaf? She had said it so loudly, how could he not hear her and not move at all?
Just as she was about to speak again, the three exasperated figures had already arrived behind her.
"Wretched girl, catch up to us! Let's see where you can run to."
Liu Wuqing looked back at the approaching figure and once again pleaded with the only person who could save her.
"Young Master, don't sleep anymore. Open your eyes! Those thieves are coming…Hey, hey, did you hear that? Wake up!"
The man still had a relaxed expression on his face. His chest was moving up and down in an orderly manner, indicating that he was resting peacefully. With a grunt, he actually turned over and fell asleep in front of her.
Liu Wuqing was furious and anxious!
"Young man, if you don't want to cause trouble, then pretend that you didn't hear anything.”
The thin man quickly stepped forward and grabbed her pair of white wrists that made one's heart itch.
"Let go of me!"
She wanted to use the same trick again, but Skinny Man was already prepared, and her kick missed.
"You're really stubborn, but I like it very much!”He smiled at her. "Yellow-tooth, quickly search her and see if she has anything valuable inside or outside.”
The anxious Liu Wuqing saw that the pair of demonic hands were about to touch her body. She held onto her last glimmer of hope and turned around, hoping that the man who only cared about sleeping would pull out his knife to help.
Unfortunately, the result disappointed her. The man who was carrying her on his back was even snoring.
She was disheartened and inadvertently glanced at the wooden sign from the corner of her eye. She seemed to see the little boy pointing at the black words on it, as if hinting at something.
With a thought, she immediately shouted,"As long as you save me, I'll agree to your conditions!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the hand that was moving around her body and was about to reach into her chest quickly withdrew.
Before she could see what was happening, Liu Wuqing saw the man called Yellow-tooth pressing down on the arm that had violated her just now. He squatted down as if he was enduring some pain.
Upon closer inspection, there was an extremely thin bamboo stick stuck in the thick arm.
Who was it? Who saved her?
"You said you agreed to my conditions?”A lazy voice came from behind her.
Liu Wuqing turned his head in disbelief. After she said that, the man finally reacted?
Unknowingly, the man had already turned around and his tightly shut eyes had opened. When she turned her neck, his deep eyes locked onto her watery eyes.
Her unfathomable eyes were like an abyss that made people unconsciously sink into it. The dark and mysterious brilliance was so charming that she forgot where she was for a moment.
He felt like a cat that had just woken up. His lazy expression seemed relaxed, but he also felt like a leopard that had just woken up. He had a strong aura that was ready to be released.
"Is that you?" The man spoke again, asking and confirming.
She looked at his mesmerizing black eyes and nodded slowly.
"Very good." The man finally had a different expression. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he stretched his arms out lazily. Then, he slowly sat up.
"Grandpa!" The boy cried out in delight.
Ye moved. He was finally willing to move. This meant that they could finally leave this place and no longer need to eat wild fruits to satisfy their hunger.
"Little Winter Melon, throw away the wooden token. We don't need it anymore.”
After the man ordered the boy around, he stretched his muscles and bones. Only then did he lazily look at the skinny Yu Nan whose hands were trembling.
He lifted his thin lips. "Let her go."
Like a king's imposing manner, the man's tone hid an unquestionable majesty.
The invisible pressure forced the thin man to swallow his saliva. He glanced at the yellow-toothed boy who was still on the ground and could not raise his hand. He tried his best to squeeze out a brave voice.
"You…brat, I advise you to mind your own business. Do you know who our boss is? You…are stirring up trouble on the head of the lion, are you…tired of living?”No matter how hard he tried, his aura was obviously lower than others.
The man did not take his threat seriously at all. He snapped his fingers and patted the grass off his body. "I don't want to repeat myself."
It was yet another sentence that made people's legs go weak. The thin man almost let go of his hand as he said, but it was only for a moment. After that, he tightened his grip.
The man stood up and his eyes narrowed. "Looks like you don't understand what I'm talking about.”
Then, he crouched nimbly and dodged the fat man who deliberately circled behind him to attack from behind.
He kicked the fat man and he fell to the ground. Then, with a speed that left people speechless, he leaped forward and twisted away the arm that was holding Liu Wuqing. He pulled her behind him and kicked the fat man who was lying on the ground.
"Get out of my sight." With the attitude of a victor, he ordered.
The skinny man was so scared that he used one hand to grab the fat man who was rolling over, and the other hand to hold the yellow-toothed boy who was screaming in pain. The three of them limped away.
Liu Wuqing looked at his savior with gratitude.
To be honest, his agile movements and the heroic manner in which he saved her would make any woman's heart flutter, especially under his magical eyes. Her cheeks were slightly red, but before she could say thank you...
"What are you still doing here? Quickly lead the way back! I'm tired and want to rest."
His arrogant tone made her forget what she wanted to say. She could only stare at the man who dragged her forward with a swing of his head.
No matter what, she was their " master " for the next month. He…he…what kind of attitude was this?
