863 Su Family Brothers and Sisters (Supplement 6.05)
Li Man did not allow Fang Genghou to sit down.
Seeing that Xia Zhaoyi did not stop him, Li Man became more courageous and asked Fang Genghou to squat aside.
"A dog must look like a dog." Li Man said to him.
There were three teacups brought, one for Li Man, one for Xia Zhaoyi, and one for Li Man, who was holding it upside down next to the teapot.
But being hungry all the time was not enough, so Li Man gave Fang Genghou another pastry and asked him to squat down and eat it.
The clerk was well-informed and could not help but shake his head, feeling that this man and woman had gone too far.
Someone at the next table was also talking quietly.
Xia Zhaoyi held the tea cup and drank slowly, looking around casually, as if she couldn't hear these discussions.
She also turned a blind eye to Li Man's words and deeds.
Fang Genghou didn't dare to show his anger.
He knew that these two people had treated him well enough. If his identity were revealed, he would definitely not be treated like this again. Everyone here might attack in groups and bite off his flesh one by one.
Now, Fang Genghou was afraid of even a look from Li Man.
"Master," Li Man noticed that Xia Zhaoyi hadn't eaten and couldn't help but said, "Eat some meat."
"Okay." Xia Zhaoyi said.
She put down the tea cup and went to get the chopsticks. She suddenly blinked and looked up at the second floor of the inn opposite.
Some distance away, in the open space in the middle was a crowd of about fifty people, about fifty people, who were throwing dice and making noises from time to time.
Her eyes were looking at the window sash opposite. A woman was lying on the window, looking at the bustle below. She was probably aware of it, so she looked towards Xia Zhaoyi.
The woman frowned, feeling that the girl looked familiar, but not very familiar.
Li Man looked up following Xia Zhaoyi's gaze and saw the woman at the window.
Just then, the woman turned around and left the window.
Li Man was not a talkative person and was curious about who she was, but he did not ask Xia Zhaoyi.
But they saw the woman quickly come down with a man and walk towards them.
Li Man stared at them, not knowing whether they were enemies or friends, and silently pressed the hidden dagger with his palm.
As they approached, the pace of a man and a woman slowed down.
The woman looked Xia Zhaoyi up and down, with a bit of expectation and uncertainty in her eyes.
But Xia Zhaoyi, she remembered who they were.
"This girl," the woman whispered, "may I ask, do you recognize me?"
Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "You are brothers and sisters of the Su family."
"Ah!" The woman was delighted, "You really recognize me! Then you are..."
"I'm Ah Li," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Lining Bajianghu, the mountain behind Taoxi Village, we got to know each other because we took shelter from the rain."
"Ah Li!" Su Yumei said happily, "It's really you, Miss Ah Li!"
At that time, the girl wore a smart and unisex dress, and it was difficult to distinguish between male and female. Now it is really difficult to recognize, all thanks to the girl's unforgettable beautiful face and elegant temperament.
"We said goodbye last time, but we still meet here." Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile.
"Not only last time, you also asked the neighbor to leave a letter for us," Su Yumei said, "and there was also that big bag of silver."
"Miss Ali," Su Heng raised his hand and said, "We haven't used those silver coins yet. But I still want to thank you for your generosity. My brother and sister have traveled around the world for many years and have never encountered such kindness. Thank you very much, girl!"
The brother and sister are both in their thirties. The younger sister looks slightly better, but the older brother is really careless. His face is chapped and has many fine lines.
After confirming that they were old acquaintances, Li Man took his hand away from the dagger.
Fang Genghou squatted on the ground and saw the details clearly.
"Ah Li, Ah Li," Su Yumei said with a smile, "You are actually the famous Ah Li. What a coincidence and an unexpected encounter!"
"Yes," Su Heng said, "I have long admired your name!"
"I've actually read a lot of your books," Xia Zhaoyi smiled at Su Heng, "and I've benefited a lot from them."
"Here," Su Heng looked a little ashamed, "to be honest, Miss Ali, most of the books I published were written and compiled by my sister."
Xia Zhaoyi was surprised and looked at Su Yumei with bright eyes: "Miss Su, since you wrote it, why..."
"Even my brother's name cannot be spread, and few people want to read it. My brother's official career has not been smooth in this life, and his talents have not been recognized. If those books had been written with the name of a woman like me, I'm afraid it would have disappeared." Su Yumei smiled lightly.
Xia Zhaoyi frowned slightly and said nothing.
Su Yumei saw Fang Genghou squatting on the ground and was surprised: "This person..."
She looked towards Li Man next to Fang Genghou.
Li Man said: "It is not a pity for this man to die. You don't need to ask more questions."
Su Yumei nodded, but still couldn't help but look at Fang Genghou again.
"By the way," Su Heng said, "Miss Ali, you mentioned Mr. Qi in your letter..."
"Well," Xia Zhaoyi said, "He is with me. If you still want to see him, just give me an address and I will ask him to find you."
"Ah, seriously," Su Yumei was delighted, "This is wonderful."
Xia Zhaoyi actually left an address on the letter, but the brother and sister received a letter asking for help from a friend and spent more than half a year running around for their friend before returning from the northwest.
I didn't expect that I would meet like this just after entering Wanshan Pass.
At this time, a few people in the crowd in front became anxious after losing too much. They began to argue with their opponents and began to want to start a fight.
No one else tried to persuade or stop them, but instead they started to make noises and get angry. The quarrel became more and more fierce, and the conflict finally broke out, and several people started fighting.
Some people hurriedly ran out, while others rushed in, and followed them to fight.
The waiter at the tea shed hurried over and asked Xia Zhaoyi and the others to clean up and hide a little bit so as not to be accidentally hurt.
Su Yumei was not surprised: "When we came here half a year ago, we also encountered a bunch of people fighting, with bloody heads. I heard that some people were killed, but no one was punished. After all, there is no government here."
Not only were there people fighting and watching the excitement, but there were also people taking advantage of the chaos to steal money.
"This world..." Su Heng said.
Someone in the crowd shouted: "Knives are out, they are showing their knives!! Run!"
"Run!"
Following several screams, someone was lying on the ground.
The crowd around him suddenly ran away again.
The man with the knife chased after him, completely red-eyed.
Next to the gambling room where everyone ran away, the dice were scattered on the floor, and a man was holding a knife and slashing at a man dripping with blood.
The person who was hacked was already out of breath, and his arm tissue was completely separated from his body, but he still didn't let him go.
The killing created excitement, and the originally conflicting parties turned into indiscriminate attacks by the person holding the knife. They chased the person who did it to the northwest, and finally ended up stabbing anyone they saw.
Xia Zhaoyi protected Su Yumei and retreated into the teahouse. Li Man grabbed Fang Genghou and came in together.
Xia Zhaoyi asked Li Man to tie up Fang Genghou and protect Su Yumei. She just left the teahouse, but before she was completely tied up, Fang Genghou struggled hard and attacked Li Man.
