On the loess street where the ground was tamped, a child who looked quite young but had a strong figure politely asked an old man who was setting up a stall selling glutinous rice cakes.
"Hu Er? Little doll, which Hu Er are you asking about?"
The old man with kind eyes and a slightly rickety back asked with a smile.
"Well, the one who wanders around the streets all day and doesn't do any serious work!"
Feng Bingwen thought for a while and replied.
Although it was a peaceful and prosperous age, there should only be a handful of street kids who molested women from good families in broad daylight, and there could not be a group of them.
"You said that job, you little kid, why do you want him to do it? Do you still want to learn from him?"
The old man's face became serious.
"No, I heard that he was beaten yesterday, and I just wanted to see the excitement."
Feng Bingwen explained.
"Hey, you little guy is quite well-informed. Yes, that guy did provoke someone yesterday and got beaten up. He is still lying at home now."
"Well, old man, do you know where Hu Er's home is?"
After class, Feng Bingwen, who came all the way to ask questions, sounded quite sincere.
"What? Little baby, did you let that beast Hu'er steal something earlier?"
"Roughly the same!"
Feng Bingwen chuckled, seeming a little shy.
"If you were a few years older, I might have told you, but you are too young, with small arms and legs. It's a little bit risky to get back the losses you suffered before. Then Hu Er just got punched in the face.
It’s a bit miserable, but I can still move.”
"I just came here to explore the way."
"Well, let me tell you, Hu Er's home is in the alley in front..."
The old man selling glutinous rice cakes didn't hide anything, and neatly told Feng Bingwen, who was clearly looking for work trouble, where Hu Er lived.
"Thank you, uncle."
With that said, Feng Bingwen walked towards the direction directed by the old man, but was held back by the old man.
"Hey, little doll, you're not here to explore the way? What are you planning to do?"
"I'll leave after just one look."
Feng Bingwen was a little helpless. After all, he was still young, so his appearance made people look down upon him unconsciously.
"You kid, you run away when you encounter trouble. You are as miserable as Hu Er. You should be embarrassed to show your face outside."
"Hello!"
After dealing with the warm-hearted old man, Feng Bingwen found a tile-roofed house in an alley as he wished. He was a little surprised when he saw the clean door. Then he opened the wooden door and stepped through it.
Walk into the bluestone threshold.
As soon as he entered the door, Feng Bingwen met the eyes of a young man with a swollen face and a purple complexion. Feng Bingwen's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Because this young man who looked quite miserable was lying on a chair quite comfortably, hiding under the shade of an old tree in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness. His feet were still resting on a stool, and there was another person who looked like he was watching next to him.
The boy who looked quite well-behaved gave him a leg tap.
The child suddenly broke in, causing this small courtyard with a relatively comfortable atmosphere to fall into silence for a moment. The next moment, the young man with a swollen face like a pig's head recognized Feng Bingwen. He stood up like a carp and pushed his face away.
The boy, who was still looking at a loss, picked up the small square stool that he had just rested on and was about to throw it out.
Hu Er's reaction was already very fast, but Feng Bingwen was faster than him. He had just picked up the stool, and Feng Bingwen's palm had already fallen on his stomach.
puff!
Even in the face of Feng Bingwen's slap, which retained most of its power, Hu Er, who was just an ordinary street gangster, couldn't bear it at all. He felt as if his stomach was gored by a mad cow.
After taking a big gulp of water, his whole body turned upside down, flew out nearly ten feet, and hit the ground.
Snap!
The small square stool he had just carried flipped in the air for half a circle, then fell to the ground with a muffled sound, and was kicked aside by Feng Bingwen who came over.
"What are you doing? Still want to hit me?"
Feng Bingwen walked up to Hu Er, stretched out his legs and kicked him on the shoulder. He couldn't help but curl up because of the pain, and he fell to the ground on his back.
"You fucking..."
"Your book was read into a dog's belly. How come it's just full of filthy words?"
Before the ruffian could finish scolding him, Feng Bingwen stepped on his face, blocked his mouth, and applied pressure on the swollen wound on his face, causing the bruiser's face to twist in pain.
"I came to you today for no other reason than to settle a debt!"
"A debt collector?"
The boy on the side who was stunned by the scene in front of him came back to his senses. Even if he reacted, he didn't know how to deal with the current situation.
"You spent so many days eating and drinking in Ruyufang, you should pay back the money you owe for pastries.
You owe one hundred and three copper bahts, and I won't take advantage of you. If you round up, you can just give me two silver bahts."
"Two silver baht?"
The boy on the side widened his eyes. Isn't it worth a hundred copper and five bahts to exchange for one silver baht? Why is this rounded up? He felt that he didn't have enough brains.
"You understand, right? If you understand, get me the money quickly and don't waste my time."
Feng Bingwen moved his feet, feeling that what he said was very clear.
"Feng Bingwen, don't think that your father is a scholar, because it's not your turn to be arrogant in Qingshan County!"
Hu Er, who had just been stepped on by Feng Bingwen and couldn't break free for a long time, knew that he had encountered a ruthless person. Although the other person looked like just a child, he seemed unable to beat him.
"Stop talking nonsense. It's not my turn in Qingshan County to be arrogant, and it's not your turn to be arrogant. It's only natural to pay back debts, so get me the money quickly!"
Feng Bingwen urged impatiently,
"What if I don't give you money?"
Hu Er still wanted to be stubborn.
"Well, don't worry, I promised Mr. Xing that I would give you some peace of mind and try not to cause any murders for him."
Feng Bingwen nodded and took a step forward. An invisible aura filled the courtyard.
And almost at the same time, in the neighbor next door, two giant figures who were patrolling stopped at the same time, turned their heads, and stared at Feng Bingwen's position with their scarlet eyes.
"Wait a minute, I'll pay you back!"
Although he did not have the keen perception of ghosts and gods, Hu Er also felt the strong sense of oppression. He quickly lowered his head and gave in. A good man will not suffer the consequences.
"Wouldn't it be better if you were so conscious earlier?"
Feng Bingwen watched Qingpi in front of him walk into the house in the courtyard, and then reluctantly took out two polished silver bahts. Looking at the greedy expression on the boy next to him, he knew that these two
Silver beads are considered a large amount of money.
"By the way, just a friendly reminder, eat well and drink well these days, and take more supplements to ensure your recovery."
Before going out, Feng Bingwen kindly reminded the other party.
