Xu Tuan immediately picked up the wooden knife and said apologetically to the girl in front of him.
There was no cry of pain, but Xu Tuan thought to himself, how could it not hurt after being hit so hard with a wooden knife?
When the girl got up, the first thing she did was to dust herself off. She looked with some distress at the place where she fell to the ground and tore her skirt.
This dress seems to be brand new, and the style is quite good. It seems to be the latest model this year.
It's a pity that the material of this dress is of very low quality. It seems to be cheap textiles. To put it bluntly, it is pirated.
Compared with the robe Xu Tuan was wearing, not even a single corner could match it. Although Xu Tuan's robe was a bit dirty now, the material was silk. Silk was only a specialty of China. Silk was sold at sky-high prices outside China.
"I'll give you some clothes later." Xu Tuan looked at the girl's distressed eyes and felt very uneasy about his conscience.
Although Xu Tuan grew up in fine clothing and fine food, he was well educated since he was a child and would not have any thoughts about not eating minced meat.
"Really?" When the girl heard Xu Tuan said that she would be compensated with a piece of clothing, she raised her head and asked in disbelief.
Although Xu Tuan looks a little embarrassed, it does not affect his young master's temperament at all.
When a young master like this hits a helpless orphan like her, it's just a beating, and there will definitely be no impact at all.
"What I, a member of the Xu family, say is just water thrown out, and there is no reason to take it back. If I say I will compensate you, I will compensate you."
Xu Tuan felt around and found that he only seemed to have the habit of bringing snacks, not money.
Gritting his teeth, he took out a small red bag of tips from his sleeve pocket.
Opening the brocade bag, there is a small hollow ball made of pure gold quietly placed inside the brocade bag.
It looks very festive.
"Now, keep this here for now, don't break it." Xu Tuan took the small ball and handed it to the little girl.
The little girl was a little panicked. How could she take such a precious thing? She pushed it back without saying a word.
"Oh, just take it if you want. It's not given to you."
"I just put it here for safekeeping. You have to return it to me later."
Xu Tuan was directly put into the girl's hand, and he acted as if you are delaying because you are not giving me the face of the young master of the Xu family.
In the distance, an adult and a child came over
The two of them walked very quickly, and the girl was cautious and hid the golden ball in her pocket first to avoid the heresy of some people seeing money.
Of course, this is not because the little girl doesn't trust her friends and the aunt who takes care of her.
However, this sentence has been engraved in her bones.
She has memorized this sentence since she was very young.
"Isn't that Aunt Yun?" Xu Tuan murmured in a low voice as he looked at the woman getting closer and closer.
"So I ran to Aunt Yun." Seeing that it was one of his own, Xu Tuan let go of the wooden knife in his hand and waved to say hello.
"Young Master Xu Tuan, you are so..." Zhou Yun stopped as she spoke.
Looking at the opened tunnel, I seemed to know something.
She also grew up in the Xu family's mansion since she was a child, and the Xu family's family rules also had an impact on her.
She knew that if someone from the Xu family ran out of this secret passage, it meant that something bad might have happened to the Xu family's mansion.
The sadness came from her heart. Although she did not believe in Xu, she grew up eating Xu's rice. When she became an adult, the Xu family funded the orphanage for her.
She has already regarded herself as a member of the Xu family by default.
Mrs. Xu, who gave him money some time ago, is now...
"Aunt Yun, when will I return to the Xu family's mansion?" Xu Tuan asked, patting the bag on his chest to make sure that the ten gourd skewers on his body were not dropped.
"Young Master Xu Tuan, I will be staying with Aunt Yun during this period." Zhou Yun choked up slightly, but she still managed to restrain herself.
She couldn't lose her composure in front of this young master who was relentless in his pursuit of success.
Maybe this young master doesn't know the news about the Xu family's collapse.
"Hmm. That's okay." Xu Tuan thought that he could still play outside, so he naturally forgot about going home, at least on the surface.
"Okay, Master Xu Tuan, I will lead the way." Zhou Yun also noticed the dust on the little girl's body and thought she was having a conflict with Xu Tuan.
He looked at her with a complaining look, then took Xu Tuan's hand affectionately and walked towards the orphanage.
The little girl followed behind and basically remained silent from the time she met Xu Tuan until she left.
.......
He Wu looked at Cangqiong City, which had just been baptized by the war. Some places were still intact, while other places were in tatters, such as the place where he fought the Herrscher of Flame... and the busy crowds.
In this situation, He Wu wanted to write a poem:
"Written by He Wuyou Cangqiong"
{He Wu, Han Chinese}
Ah ~ this damn war.
Ah~ this damn collapse.
He Wu is a great layman. He thinks that a great layman should behave like a great layman, and don't imitate other people's elegant and refined ways.
He stopped writing his nonsense [written by He Wuyou Cangqiong]. He felt that this was the pinnacle of his literary attainments, and he would be able to brag about it with Xiao Qing in the future, because he was still a poet.
I am not that reckless man with a spear, I am a man of culture. He also wrote an eternal masterpiece [written by He Wuyou Cangqiong]. Although I don’t know whether it is an eternal masterpiece or an eternal joke.
"Sir He Wu, the mayor of Cangqiong City requests a meeting." A high-pitched female voice broke He Wu's fantasy.
"Oh." He Wu stood up from the recliner. After all, he is an [Energy Body]. It is a necessary procedure for the mayor to come to receive him, otherwise he will be left with a trail of gossip.
Wearing a white robe, the robe is embroidered with dark green bamboo, and the whole body is mainly made of ink.
It still proves the old saying: a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.
...
"I would like to first thank Mr. He Wu for coming to Cangqiong City to help."
A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, with his hair combed into a bun and walking a little hurriedly.
"Hello." He Wu looked around.
Because just after the war, there were disaster victims everywhere. Even the mayor's bodyguards only had two left, and they all had wounds.
The order of the scene is a bit chaotic. Everyone wants to see this [Energy Body] that can defeat the Herrscher.
The mayor was a little bitter and there was nothing he could do.
He wanted to maintain order before coming to meet He Wu, but conditions did not allow it now! Everyone was arranged.
"I made you laugh." The mayor could only laugh bitterly.
"Understood, understood." He Wu also smiled awkwardly along with the mayor.
How can men quickly get closer to each other?
Games, women.
These two enduring topics, as long as two men discuss the same point together, they will become as familiar as brothers.
But under the current circumstances, it is impossible to chat about women and games with the mayor.
I could only laugh awkwardly.
Suddenly, a little girl's figure jumped out from the crowd and stood up straight at He Wu. She was holding a freshly picked flower in her hand.
"Thank you [Energy Body] for saving us." A soft voice came out, and the flowers were quickly delivered to He Wu.
He Wu took the flower, which was still muddy, and reached out to touch the little girl's head.
This moment was also photographed by many media.
The little girl's actions also broke the embarrassment between the mayor and He Wu.
The two of them finally had something to talk about.
