In front of Lin Chen was a slope more than ten meters long. A short, skinny old man was being pulled down by a wooden tricycle.
The tricycle is extremely huge, much larger than the big trucks on Earth. There are piles of various vegetables on it. If it were an ordinary person on the Earth, let alone an old man, even several adult men would not be able to carry it.
Pull a load like this up a slope.
But for ordinary people on the original continent, it is not a big problem.
After all, the ordinary people here, no matter how bad they are, are still much stronger than the ordinary people on earth back then.
It's just that the old man pulling the cart obviously did not reach the level of ordinary people on the original continent. In addition, he was a little too tired. As a result, before he could pull a cart of goods up the slope, he was pulled down the slope and kept going backwards.
The old man exclaimed and tried desperately to hold the huge tricycle, but even though his face turned red, he was still being pulled backwards.
Sitting on the tricycle was a little girl who looked about four or five years old and looked a little thin.
The little girl was sitting on a mountain of vegetables. As the tricycle reversed, vegetables kept rolling down. She screamed in fright, and her face turned pale!
When people on the street saw this scene, some looked disgusted, as if the old man had caused them some trouble, while others were gloating about his misfortune. There were also some kindhearted people who wanted to help.
However, before they could rush over, they saw the little girl in the car about to roll to the ground.
If you fall on the ground and are run over by a tricycle, half of your life will be lost!
"Xiaoyue!"
The old man saw this scene out of the corner of his eye and was frightened to death.
"grandfather--"
The girl cried and fell out of the car. She saw that the wheel was about to crush her head.
Many people exclaimed as a figure appeared behind the tricycle. He hugged the girl with one hand and held down the tricycle with the other hand. The tricycle, which was retreating at a high speed, stopped immediately.
Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Chen who suddenly appeared.
At this time, the tricycle had actually reached the bottom of the slope. After Lin Chen released the power of the tricycle's retreat, he put down his hand and stepped back a few steps. The tricycle retreated a few meters and stopped firmly on the flat ground.
The old man reacted at this time, ran from the front of the car to the back, and said extremely gratefully to Lin Chen: "Thank you! Thank you for your help, sir!"
Lin Chen smiled and put down the frightened little girl in his arms.
The old man hurriedly said to the little girl: "Xiao Yue, why don't you thank this adult quickly!"
Xiao Yue hid behind the old man, looked at Lin Chen, like a little animal that was afraid of life, and whispered: "Thank you, sir."
"You're welcome." Lin Chen smiled, said nothing more, and continued on his own.
Seeing that Lin Chen had no intention of asking them to give anything in return, the old man thanked Lin Chen's back repeatedly, and then took the little girl to pick up the various vegetables that had fallen on the ground and return them to the car.
The old man's face turned bitter. He just helped the hotel to pull these things over. Now that some vegetables were crushed by the wheels just now, I'm afraid I won't make any money from this trip and will have to pay some compensation.
At this moment, a group of people came from the front.
Eight strong men were carrying a large sedan chair, and there were many people who looked like maids accompanying them. Seeing this fight, passers-by all avoided it, knowing that this was not someone they could afford to offend.
But there was no way to avoid the old man and the little girl who were picking up the vegetables on the ground and taking them back to the car.
Although they were also startled by the opponent's formation, there were still many vegetables on the ground at this time. If they just avoided it, they would probably be trampled to pieces by this team of people!
The old man and the little girl were busy picking up the vegetables on the ground as quickly as possible.
However, after a while, the team of people arrived in front of them.
Seeing that there were two people, an old man and a young man, blocking the road ahead, the pair had to stop. They looked a little impatient, but no one said anything.
A high-pitched female voice came from the sedan: "Why did you stop? You are all deaf, didn't you hear what I said before? Master Zhou is still waiting for me to come over at Yunxi Restaurant! If you go too late, you will get in trouble.
Can you bear it if Master Zhou gets angry?"
A middle-aged man who was following the sedan was startled and quickly reported the situation ahead to the woman in the sedan.
As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain was opened and a woman came out of the sedan.
The woman was in her mid-twenties, with a charming appearance that instantly attracted all the men's attention. She was considered a rare beauty.
The next second, a whip appeared in the woman's hand.
Snap!
With a flick of the whip, it hit the skinny old man in front of him hard!
"ah--!"
The whip was like a knife hitting the old man. He screamed, and a shocking wound appeared on his body, which was as deep as the bone. He curled up into a ball, with tears and snot coming out of his nose in pain. He was rolling on the ground, his body uncontrollable.
Trembling!
"Old fellow, can you afford to delay my business? Get out of here! If you continue to block the way, I'll whip you to death!"
The woman pointed at the old man and screamed, her beautiful face looking extremely ferocious at this time.
Seeing this scene, the crowd was shocked.
"This woman is too hateful and arrogant!"
Some people were in a bad mood and looked annoyed.
However, someone immediately covered his mouth and said, "Shut up! Do you know who that is? If you don't want to die, don't talk nonsense!"
The person whose mouth was covered, as well as the people next to him, all looked at the person who opened the mouth in confusion.
He continued: "This woman's name is Qi Shuqin. She was originally the oiran of a brothel in Guihua City. She was attracted by the head of the Yu family in Haotian City. She ransomed her body and brought her to Haotian City. She became the concubine of the head of the Yu family. The result was not the same.
Do you know how this woman hooked up with Zhou Cong from the Zhou family?
After being discovered by the head of the Yu family, he in turn killed the head of the Yu family! Now she is hidden in Zhou Cong's golden house and raised in a courtyard in the west of the city.
It is said that after hooking up with Zhou Cong, this woman became very domineering and arrogant. She often beat her servants to death, and corpses were transported out of the courtyard from time to time! Don't provoke her!"
Someone asked in surprise: "The head of the Yu family was killed, and the Yu family didn't take revenge?"
"Revenge? Damn revenge! Do you know who I am talking about, Zhou Cong?"
The man sneered and said: "He is a direct descendant of the royal Zhou family! The Yu family is just a small family in Haotian City. How dare they take revenge?"
Suddenly, there was complete silence!
Some people who were originally filled with indignation and wanted to stand up for the old man, after learning about the woman's situation, they all shut up!
"Grandpa! Grandpa!"
Xiaoyue ran to the old man's side and saw her grandfather's miserable appearance. She looked at Qi Shuqin angrily, "You are not a good person!"
Qi Shuqin was furious: "You damn girl, you came out of nowhere and you dare to talk to me like this! Let's see if I don't beat you to death!"
With that said, she whipped Xiaoyue!
"don't want!"
Xiaoyue's grandfather, who was already in so much pain that he couldn't move, seemed to have been stimulated to some extent at this moment. With a roar, he turned over and hugged Xiaoyue tightly, protecting him in his arms!
Just when the whip was about to fall on him again, he suddenly and mysteriously disappeared.
