As the sky grew brighter, there were more and more pedestrians on the street, and Shen Lie calmly looked at the malicious rogues on the opposite side.
So he pretended not to know and started shouting to himself.
"Take a look, take a look."
After Shen Lie shouted, not long after, pedestrians gathered around him.
Because Shen Lie has a good attitude and easy-going temperament, and Yun'er is beautiful and graceful, their booth was crowded with people.
But after only one stick of incense, Shen Lie was busy. When he looked up, he saw those rogues suddenly walking towards his stall from across the street.
The middle-aged man with rosacea led seven or eight ruffians to Shen Lie, and everyone had a gloomy look on their face.
As soon as these rogues arrived, the expressions of the children and adults surrounding the stall changed. The adults quickly picked up the children and walked away quickly without saying a word.
All of a sudden, the stall became empty.
The man walked up to Shen Lie with square steps. The flesh on his face twitched a few times and he smiled: "Brother, business is booming."
Shen Lie's heart sank, he clasped his fists and said calmly: "Easy to say, easy to say."
The man stared at Shen Lie with a pair of triangular eyes, laughed dryly twice, touched his rosacea, and looked at Yun'er with a pair of triangular eyes, finally falling on the money bag in Yun'er's hand.
Then the man unbuttoned his clothes, revealing an iron awl at his waist. The sharp iron awl emitted a sharp cold light in the sunlight.
Looking at the dark iron cone, Shen Lie felt helpless. After thinking about it, he whispered to Yun'er: "Bring me the money bag."
Although Yun'er was unwilling, she obediently handed the money bag over and watched as Shen Lie took out a handful of copper coins from the money bag and handed it over.
Shen Lie clasped his fists again and said in a deep voice: "I'm new here. I don't understand the rules and I offend you a lot. I'd like to ask... this eldest brother to make it easier for me."
Looking at the handful of coins in Shen Lie's hand, the smile on the rosacea man's face faded, and he seemed to be very dissatisfied with Shen Lie's behavior.
At this time, a young man behind the man began to curse: "Are you sending away beggars?"
In an instant, seven or eight rogues started cursing one after another.
"It's so embarrassing!"
"A wild thief who was shot by thousands of people is seeking death!"
Amidst the cursing of the gangsters, Shen Lie frowned again, and his heart sank suddenly, knowing that he was in big trouble.
I'm just afraid that this group of people is targeting him, and it's not just a simple matter of collecting some protection money. They are clearly here to blackmail him.
Amidst the curses of the gangsters, Shen Lie lowered his head, but the unknown fire in his heart rose again. He glared and put the coins back into his purse.
Then Shen Lie handed the money bag to Yun'er.
No, right?
I won’t give it back!
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. The man's eyes flashed fiercely and he punched his chest, but Shen Lie stepped back to avoid it.
The man was a little surprised and sneered again and again: "Oh, you are still a practicing master!"
Shen Lie suppressed the unknown fire in his heart, and shouted in a low voice: "Under the broad daylight, the world is bright, is there no law at the feet of this emperor!"
As Pipi and Shen Lie took action, more and more people were watching the excitement, and they all pointed in this direction.
When the man with rosacea saw people starting to gather around him, he seemed a little wary, so he laughed sinisterly again: "Okay, okay...brothers, let's go!"
The words just fell.
The man then glared at Shen Lie fiercely, and left with his seven or eight men in a swaggering manner.
Seeing these rogues walking away, Shen Lie looked up at the big sun in the sky and whispered to Yun'er: "Yun'er, pack your things."
Yun'er's little face had already turned pale with laughter, and she quickly started packing her things.
Shen Lie smiled, looked relaxed, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, let's go... the young master will take you to eat haggis soup."
Soon after.
The two of them quickly left from under the big willow tree.
As night falls, the weather becomes colder and colder, and there are obviously fewer pedestrians on the street. As a cold wind blows, light snow falls in the sky.
Shen Lie and Yun'er quickly walked into a restaurant and ordered two large bowls of haggis soup and a few pancakes, one bite for you and one for me.
While drinking the hot mutton soup, Shen Lie urged Yun'er to eat quickly. When the two of them were full, they walked out of the restaurant.
Shen Lie pretended to stretch, but looked at the entrance of the alley with the corner of his eye, and saw a sneaky figure disappearing in a flash.
Shen Lie's heart felt cold and he sighed quietly.
"Why."
It seems that his fulfilling and happy life has come to an end. He was targeted by the Zaoyi Gang, which is not unusual.
Living on the mountain, eating on the mountain, living on the sea, this gangster from the Zaoyi Gang guarded Willow Street, and his food was the small businessmen and hawkers, as well as those poor wandering orioles.
Shen Lie's stall was targeted by these people...
It seems that things are going to be very difficult today.
On the side, Yun'er seemed to have noticed something, and hurriedly walked over, hugged Shen Lie's arm with some fear, and let out a timid cry.
"Master..."
Shen Lie felt his arms soften and hesitated a little, but still whispered: "It's okay, let's go."
Patting Yun'er's cold little hands, Shen Lie led her quickly towards the inn two streets away where she usually rented.
Fortunately, there was a heavy snowfall in the sky.
As the heavy snow fell from the sky, Shen Lie carried a large bundle in his left hand and held Yun'er in his right hand, walking quickly through the dark and silent alley.
It's very cold.
The road is slippery again.
In the deep and dark alley, the doors of every house are closed.
In the silence, there was only the sound of the two people's slight footsteps. Shen Lie seemed to smell something. He was anxious and couldn't help but walk faster and faster.
Yun'er hugged Shen Lie's arm tightly and followed closely, seemingly nervous, her little body trembling timidly in the cold wind.
Just as the two of them were about to walk out of the alley, something unexpected happened!
Not far away, at the end of the alley, several sneaky figures suddenly appeared. This figure made Shen Lie's face change slightly and he stopped.
Soon the alley was blocked by people.
Shen Lie made a quick decision and quickly grabbed Yun'er, turned around, and wanted to leave quickly from the entrance of the alley, but several people also appeared at the entrance of the alley behind him.
in a blink.
The front and back exits of the narrow alley were blocked. Seven or eight thugs with fierce looks on their faces walked towards the two of them from the entrance and end of the alley, blocking Shen Lie and the other two, and then showed their waists. The hammer and pestle between...
The leader was none other than the forty-year-old with rosacea.
There was a blockade in front, a pursuer behind, and private houses with closed doors on both sides, which suddenly blocked the escape route of Shen Lie's master and servant.
It seems that these people from the Zaoyi Gang are veterans in road robbery.
In a desperate situation, Shen Lie took a deep breath, protected Yun'er behind him, and said in a deep voice: "These elder brothers are just asking for money so that they can talk easily."
With that said, Shen Lie took the money bag from Yun'er's hand, weighed it, and then threw it towards the rosaceous middle-aged man.
As soon as he lowered his head, Shen Lie cupped his fists and saluted, and said in a low voice: "Shen has a blind eye, and I have offended many people. Please give me a favor."
