"Hey..." Yunchu was a little confused by Lan Wuxin's sudden change, but at this time, Lan Wuxin had already left her behind. Even under normal circumstances, a sixteen-year-old boy and a thirteen-year-old girl
If they were walking on foot, Yun Chu would already be at a disadvantage, not to mention that the opponent was a practitioner with excellent qinggong. It didn't take long for Yun Chu to lose sight of Lan Wuxin.
"Lan Wuxin, you stingy guy, you won't say anything if you don't want to, but you actually left me behind... You are so worthless..." Yun Chu said angrily as he walked forward angrily.
Yun Chu, who was originally in a very depressed mood, was bumped into by a person running out of the intersection on the left, and he shouted in his heart, this is how bad luck is written.
I saw the somewhat panicked child, who looked about eleven or twelve years old. He was wearing a somewhat shabby gray robe, holding a slender small package tightly in his arms, with a pair of black oval face embedded in it.
The big, sparkling black eyes, covered with moisture, made people feel really sad to see them.
Seeing that he had bumped into someone, the child hurriedly bowed and apologized, and looked back from time to time, his eyes full of anxiety. Before Yunchu had time to think about it, he saw three adults chasing after the child in the direction he was running towards.
The child was obviously very scared and instinctively hid behind Yun Chu. Seeing this, the three people stopped chasing after him and looked at the little man hiding behind Yun Chu, with a disdainful smile on his lips: "You
Do you think such a big little person can protect you?"
Yun Chu didn't know the whole story, and he didn't know whether he should take care of this matter, but what the other party said was indeed objective. After all, his body was only thirteen years old. Hey, this is such a depressing age.
Before Yunchu could figure it out, he heard the child scream and was picked up from behind by an adult.
The child kicked his little feet vigorously. In addition to fear, there was also a hint of despair in his eyes. When he saw Yun Chu, his heart trembled.
Another adult came forward to take the package from the child's arms. The child hugged him very tightly and begged with choked sobs: "Steward Wu, this is my mother's thing. I beg you..."
The man known as Butler Wu said impatiently: "I've never heard that you have a mother. Now your father owes the employer several taels of silver, and this piece of shit can only be used to pay for it."
Don't let go of the package in your hand.
"Brother, there are so many of you bullying a little kid. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the neighbors?" Yun Chu raised his voice loudly. At this time, some people had gathered on the street to watch the fun.
Butler Wu glanced at Yun Chu and saw that although she was dressed simply, the materials were of high quality. After all, she worked for a wealthy family, and he decided in his heart that this girl was either rich or noble.
The tone of his speech also improved a lot: "Little girl, you don't know something. Xiao Huzi's father owed our boss a lot of money. Now that he has passed away, our boss will not embarrass him and let him keep this burden. It's just two people."
Cleared."
Yun Chu already understood that he was afraid that he would encounter a powerful landowner seizing someone's heirloom treasure. He really couldn't smile on his face, so he calmly said: "He owes you money, just pay you back. I'm afraid he is extremely precious."
It’s something, please show your respect.”
"Where did this wild girl dare to talk to our housekeeper like that?" One of the tall men shouted to Yun Chu.
When Butler Wu saw Yun Chu looking like he wanted to meddle in other people's business, the corner of his mouth twitched, "Little girl, you made it easy. If he can pay back the money, why should we chase him for this worthless thing?"
Yun Chu really wanted to use money to throw money at his face that deserved a beating, but unfortunately, his pockets were empty, and the money was all in Lan Wuxin's. Ahem, or in other words, he was the one who was eating soft food...
…
In addition to cursing Lan Wuxin for his lack of class, he was also complaining that he could just leave without saying anything about leaving some money for me. It would be late in a while, so why did you ask me to spend the night?
The child named Xiao Huzi took advantage of the fact that everyone was staring at Yun Chu to see the good show, and used brute force to escape from the arms of the person who was holding him. Several people cursed and tried to chase after Xiao Huzi.
Yun Chu hurriedly stopped a few people and asked how much money the little tiger's father owed them. He quickly said: "Guys, why don't you do this? I don't have much money on me now. I only have this. Why don't I give it to you first and wait for me?"
If you find my family, you will definitely take the money to redeem me."
Yun Chu handed them a piece of jade pendant he was wearing. Although the piece of jade was not big, it was crystal clear and was worth a fortune at a glance. Butler Wu looked at Yun Chu in surprise.
Yun Chu's intuition flashed before his eyes, and something hard fell on his hand. He raised his head to see the expression on the opposite side of shopkeeper Wu who had not yet reacted, and then looked down at his hand. In his left hand was the jade pendant he had just handed over, and in his right hand was
A money bag.
Yun Chu really didn't know whether to scold him or thank him, and couldn't help but give him another white eye.
Butler Wu came back to his senses and found that the jade pendant in his hand had returned to Yun Chu's hand. He looked at the little girl in front of him in surprise.
"Steward Wu, my family has sent money. I have paid back the money Xiao Huzi's father owes you. Don't embarrass him in the future." Yun Chu said as he took out five taels of silver from his wallet and handed it to him.
Butler Wu.
Butler Wu hesitated a little, and Yun Chu was shocked. He was afraid he didn't want the money...
When Butler Wu took the money from Yun Chu's hand, winked at the other two people and turned around to leave, Yun Chu's pretty eyebrows narrowed slightly. This little tiger will not stop in the future...
"Wait..." Yunchu suddenly shouted.
"Is something wrong?" Butler Wu's voice was a little cold.
"Xiao Huzi's father owes your employer four taels and seven cents of silver. I gave you five taels and you haven't given me any change yet." Yun Chu said matter-of-factly.
Butler Wu looked at her with some surprise, as if he had never heard of the idea of giving change. His face turned dark again, and then he winked at the boy next to him, who took out a few pieces of silver from his body.
, threw it to Yun Chu, and the others turned around and left.
The child named Xiao Huzi had not run away since he heard that Yun Chu wanted to use the jade pendant to pay off the debt for him. At this time, he saw several people leaving, and he came to Yun Chu cautiously and said, "Sister, thank you."
Yun Chu thought of the butler's eyes when he left, and felt a little worried, so he said to Xiao Huzi: "You'd better go somewhere where they can't find you."
"Sister, they actually want this hairpin that my mother left for my father..." The child is not very old, but his eyes are filled with a maturity that does not match his age, which reminds her of Bai Wushang...
…
"Where is your mother? Are you going to find her?" Yun Chu knew that his father had passed away, and now that he was in such a situation, he must have no relatives here.
"Well, I want to go to the capital..." After Xiao Huzi finished speaking, a vigilant light seemed to flash in his eyes.
"I also want to go to the capital..." Yunchu said relaxedly, as if he didn't see the look in his eyes.
While the two were talking, a man who looked like a domestic servant came to the two of them, nodded lightly to Yun Chu, and said politely: "Our young master praised the girl's righteous deeds very much. Let me invite the girl to talk upstairs.
, I wonder if the girl can give me a favor?"
Yunchu looked in the direction in which the man raised his head. Near the window on the second floor, there was a man looking down at her. He was far away and could not see his appearance clearly. He could only see that the man was wearing a red robe.
