Chapter 34 You’re welcome
"You're a little brat, what do you know? Look at his face! He's obviously not from the Central Plains, he's from the Northern Yi. It won't hurt to kill him!"
A wounded soldier pointed at the ground behind him and roared angrily. Little did he know that the young man had already gotten up and leaned against the wall. If it were not a dead end, the young man would have run away long ago.
"My father is from the Central Plains." The young man who had never made a sound even after being beaten suddenly spoke. His voice was weak but showed a stubbornness that refused to admit defeat. "My father turned out to be a soldier, just like you."
The three wounded soldiers all turned their heads to look at him, stunned.
They had just experienced a tragic defeat in which many of their colleagues and friends had died, leaving them with nowhere to vent their anger. When they saw this young man on the road, they were disgusted and dragged him into an alley and beat him to vent their anger.
But when the young man said this, they instantly thought of those comrades who died on the battlefield. They sympathized and felt guilty for the arbitrary bullying and beating just now...
But this is only a moment. How many people will easily admit that they have made a mistake?
"Bastard!" cursed a soldier with a wound on his arm.
"You deserve to be called the father of a f**king thing born from a Beiyi bitch?!" Another person also said viciously.
"My mother is not a bitch! My father and mother are a serious couple who have worshiped heaven and earth!" The weak young man suddenly became angry and yelled unwillingly.
Such a tone angered the wounded soldiers. Just when they were cursing and ready to turn around and beat him again, Xie Yuan suddenly spoke, with a confused and innocent tone, and asked:
"What does bitch mean?"
She asked such a sincere question, and she was a half-year-old child. For a moment, the three wounded soldiers were at a loss.
There was another moment of silence.
"Damn it, this kid doesn't even know what a bitch means... Where does he live? He can't be a fool, right?" one person said.
For some reason, Xie Yuan's clean innocence gave them a sense of absurdity, but it also reminded them of their children far away in their hometown.
Then the mania in my heart disappeared inexplicably, and the beating heart could no longer be lifted.
The shorter wounded soldier in the middle said: "Forget it, it's boring, let's go!"
After saying that, he led the people past Xie Yuan and left together.
Xie Yuan and the boy leaning against the wall looked at each other.
The young man looked at the person opposite him who obviously lived in a different world than him, and he naturally became hostile, even though he had just helped him out of trouble...
"Are you okay?" Xie Yuan asked with concern.
The young man said angrily: "You are so hypocritical and come to me to do chivalry. Do you think I don't remember that it was you who slashed me with the sword last time?"
Xie Yuan's red phoenix eyes narrowed and became slender, and he said with natural power: "One code is one code, I will stop you from robbing, and without delay I will stop others from beating you for no reason."
The young man looked straight at her but said nothing.
Seeing that there was no need to stay any longer, Xie Yuan turned around and left.
As a result, as soon as he turned around and stepped out of the alley, he saw Shen Liuzhen leading someone over.
When he saw that look, he knew he was here to find her.
Xie Yuan immediately turned on her toes and looked back, trying to find a place to hide, but there were residential buildings on both sides, and she couldn't jump into someone's house. It would be really embarrassing if she was caught as a thief.
.
So she ran directly to stand behind the young man, pulled the young man's body, which was much taller than hers, and hid.
"What are you doing?" The boy asked impatiently as he was about to leave.
"Shh... someone is looking for me, help me hide for a while." Xie Yuanmao said behind him.
Shen Liuzhen rode on a horse and led people slowly through the alley. He turned his head and looked into the alley. He waited until he had passed by before looking away.
It was the weak coward they robbed last time, the young man thought.
Just when he passed by, the look in his eyes that seemed to understand everything made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"The people have passed." The young man felt the hands pulling his clothes behind him, and suddenly realized that he was actually as big as those street children who had been following him to make a living, so his mood changed from the hostility just now to that of In terms of protectiveness, even his tone became much gentler.
Xie Yuan cautiously stretched out his head and observed the entrance of the alley with only his eyes exposed, fearing that Shen Liuzhen would kill him with a counterattack.
"Why are you so afraid of him? Aren't you very powerful?" the young man asked again.
Xie Yuan walked out from behind him and said with a solemn face: "I'm not afraid, I'm just annoying him."
She walked to the edge of the alley, looked out, and saw that no one was there, so she went to untie the horse tied to the tea shed.
Before she could untie it, she paused because she suddenly thought that Shen Liuzhen might have seen the horse tied outside just now...
But what about people?
Xie Yuan looked around again, but there was no sign of him at all... He also brought many people here.
Could it be that he didn't come here to find her, but that his father sent him on some other errand?
What errand?
Xie Yuan got on the horse with concern, while the young man stood under the horse, looked up at her, and suddenly said:
"My name is Guan Yifei."
Xie Yuan held the reins, stepped on the stirrups and straightened his waist. He didn't know why, but he still said: "My name is Xie Yuan."
"Do you have money? Give me some." The young man looked directly into Xie Yuan's eyes and said so frankly that his face was thicker than the city wall.
Xie Yuan's lowered phoenix eyes showed anger: "I just saved you and robbed you? Ask your parents to go!"
"My parents have died a long time ago..." Guan Yifei said expressionlessly, with messy hair, bloody wounds, and a look of despair and numbness in his eyes, "Do you have money? Give me some."
He said it again stubbornly, without any fluctuation in his tone.
Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly read the despair and sadness in his shamelessness. So he took out the money bag he had packed when leaving home and gave it all to him intact.
It was all saved from the New Year's money given to her by her parents and master during the Chinese New Year. Because she was afraid that she would run around, most of it was collected by her mother, so she left a little bit of it for her.
...Now it's all gone.
Xie Yuan looked at the small fish money bag that she had given away. The cloth bag embroidered with blue fish scales was opened by Guan Yifei, revealing the silver coins inside. She licked her lower lips with some regret.
Guan Yifei looked up at her and asked, "You gave all this to me? I don't have the money to pay you back."
Xie Yuan hesitated and was about to speak. The young man seemed to see what she was thinking. He quickly tightened the rope around the fish's mouth and quickly put it into his arms and said:
"Thank you then."
"Ah..." Xie Yuan forced a smile and could only say, "...you're welcome."
