"Stop it—why are you destroying my stall?"
Shen Tang stepped forward to stop the atrocities of this group of men.
“Get lost!”
Reality is not a TV drama. People will not stop because of Shen Tang’s “brave” action. Instead, they will become even more furious.
The sturdy man in the lead thought she was in the way and was about to reach out his palm to grab her shoulder and throw her aside, but luckily Shen Tang dodged quickly. However, her wine stand was in bad luck as it was kicked over and the wine jars on the bench shattered.
Zhai Le threw the wine jar at the thug who raised his foot and said angrily: "My wine! You guys are really wasting it."
As the wine splashed, a strong aroma wafted into Shen Tang's nose. Half of her face was splashed with alcohol, making her dizzy.
She shook her head to suppress the discomfort.
The stall was overturned and the burly man in the lead waved his hand.
"Break the legs of these two pretty boys!"
"good!"
He responded by picking up a wooden stool and a wooden stick.
The vendors had packed up their stalls and fled far away when the group of strong men appeared, fearing that their stalls would be affected. Seeing that the situation was getting out of control and was about to turn into a bloody and violent incident, the timid passers-by and stall owners held their heads and screamed. Some hid and some ran away.
Shen Tang looked confused: "..."
Zhai Le leaped up and down like a black butterfly, dodging the attacks of the strong men. Sometimes he leaped up with his sleeves fluttering, sometimes he stretched his body by using his toes, twisted his waist and turned in the air, and the passers-by were stunned and cheered.
As slippery as a loach.
The strong men didn't even touch the corner of his clothes, but were seized by Zhai Le and made a mess of him.
Shen Tang: “…”
Good job!
Are you fighting or dancing
Do you have to show her this trick when wiping your butt with gauze
Gu Chi: “…”
Shen Tang's complaints were quickly interrupted by the people who were besieging her. After all, she was also the target of this group of strong men. However, these were ordinary people, and Shen Tang didn't understand the whole story, so it was difficult to kill them.
The feeling of nausea and dizziness continued to rise.
It was a bit difficult to dodge.
But she soon thought of a solution.
"Brothers, look at me. I am a weak girl who can't carry anything on my shoulders or lift anything with my hands. I sell wine to earn a little money to support my family..." She jumped up from the wall, dodging the flying wood, and said, "You hit the wrong person!"
Shen Tang's voice was clear, loud and penetrating, and when she shouted at the top of her lungs, it was estimated that half the street could hear her.
Qi Shan, who was watching the fun in the private room on the second floor, said: "???"
Gu Chi actually burst out laughing: "Mr. Shen is handsome, with feminine features, and is indeed easily mistaken for a girl by ordinary people. However, he was surrounded by people but did not try to escape, but instead pretended to be a girl to 'beg for mercy' from these people, which is inevitably a bit ugly."
Qi Shan's face suddenly turned dark.
Is this slandering Mr. Shen in front of him
"Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters." Qi Shan glanced at Gu Chi and said in a deep voice, "I don't think this is 'begging for mercy'. If Youli is willing, he can just hold the sword and kill everyone in three or five breaths, but does he need to do this? Who among the people below is not an ordinary person?"
This is clearly an act of kindness!
Do you know what appearance advantage is
If you can resolve conflicts with your appearance, it can be regarded as a kind of "bloodless victory". What's wrong with pretending to be a girl? This is the appearance and advantage given by parents. Boys with girlish appearance are so handsome! What does a consumptive person with a sick face who is considered unlucky when walking on the street know!
Gu Chi's mouth twitched slightly: "I heard it."
Qi Shan snorted, "I know you heard it, too."
Gu Chi: “…”
Therefore, the way of reading minds, which is a scholarly art, sounds terrifying. For example, now, someone is scolding you in your heart, and you know it in your heart but cannot bring it up. If you bring it up, the other party will shamelessly admit it and scold you again verbally. Isn't he asking for trouble
There is a long street downstairs.
Zhai Le was also frightened by her shocking remarks.
"How come I don't know that Brother Shen likes women's clothes?"
Shen Tang: “…”
Good fellow, the word "Brother Shen" not only dispelled the doubts of the strong men about Shen Tang's gender, but also labeled her as a cross-dresser. She stared coldly at Zhai Le's buttocks with a skirt crinoline, and wanted to kick it to see if he dared to talk nonsense again.
Worried that the incident would cause a stir and alert the people in the county government, attracting attention, Shen Tang made up his mind and grabbed Zhai Le by the collar and dragged him onto the roof. The group of strong men below couldn't climb up and were soon thrown off. As soon as he escaped from danger, Shen Tang questioned Zhai Le.
"Where did you get these people?"
Zhai Le was optimistic and likes to stand up for the weak. He couldn't help laughing when he thought of the group of strong men who were so angry because they couldn't catch anyone. But when he saw Shen Tang's face getting more and more gloomy, he was a little scared, hiccuped, and stopped laughing silently.
"I am not acting out of chivalry."
Shen Tang's face was slightly red and his tone was cold.
"You call this chivalry?"
Zhai Le said embarrassedly, "I just came to Xiaocheng not long ago, and I saw this group of people bullying vendors, collecting some kind of 'stall tax' from the stall owners, and robbing them if they refused to pay. They even molested the stall owner's daughter in front of the stall owner, and pushed the elderly. I beat them up because I saw injustice, and took the money they robbed and gave it back to the stall owner... Who knew they had a good memory, and they still remembered me after half a month."
Shen Tang looked Zhai Le up and down and nodded.
"If it were me, I could remember you for a month."
Her fists itched.
This kid caused trouble, but in the end, she was the one whose stall was smashed. Is it easy for her to sell wine and support her family
"Because I'm handsome?"
Shen Tang sneered: "Because few people look as unique as you. Good-looking people are all the same, and ugly people are all kinds of different."
Zhai Le naturally didn't think that he was really ugly, he was still very confident about his face, but he also heard the dissatisfaction and resentment in Shen Tang's words. Driven by the desire to survive, he gritted his teeth and said that he would double compensate Shen Tang for the losses of her wine stall and guarantee that she would not lose money. This barely calmed people down.
Perhaps because his breathing had stabilized, the slight blush on Shen Tang's face blended perfectly with his skin, and there was no sign of anything unusual. He propped up his brow with his fingers and said, "Let me ask you, besides collecting the 'stall tax', have these people done anything else that is against the will of heaven and earth?"
Zhai Le was puzzled: "I don't understand, why ask this?"
Shen Tang walked in the direction they came from and said, "Break their legs! If they commit other evil deeds, drag them outside Xiaocheng and enforce justice on their behalf. Do you think you are doing this to be a chivalrous man? Just beat them up and that's it? You're only causing trouble for the vendors and stall owners."
Zhai Le: "If I don't give him a beating, what should I do?"
Shen Tang stamped his feet and said coldly: "If you don't have the ability to make them change their ways, why not give them a chance to be reborn as human beings!"
Zhai Le was shocked: "!!!"
The bustle of the long street faded away, and Qishan also closed the window.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a gray carriage drove out from the direction of the county government, but the driver was a short boy.
He stared at the ground soaked by the wine for a while, and the old man in the carriage asked, "Ayan, what happened?"
Ah Yan shook his head: "No."
The carriage passed by a restaurant on the long street. The old man in the carriage raised his hand to open the curtain and glanced at the window of the private room on the second floor. After a while, he closed the curtain again and closed his eyes to rest.
