The surrounding neighbors seemed to have become accustomed to this scene.
They just chatted a few words with each other and watched the excitement.
The man beat him so fiercely that his mother-in-law didn't stop him and even helped him with some curse words from time to time.
"Two little beasts, I feed you and cause trouble for me. Don't even eat today! You will be honest after a few days of starvation!" The woman put her hands on her hips and cursed.
"Let you run!"
Lao Xu was cursing and still lashing with the whip in his hand.
"stop!"
Mei Yingxue really couldn't stand it, couldn't hold it back, and let out a light drink.
"Whose family do you belong to?"
Lao Xu glanced sideways and didn't recognize Mei Yingxue. He just felt that this little girl had a brocade hat and a mink fur coat, and she had an extraordinary bearing, like a child of a wealthy family.
"This is the daughter of Meihua Martial Arts School." A neighbor recognized him and reminded him in a low voice.
Hearing this, Lao Xu didn't take it seriously and curled his lips and said: "I beat the maid at home, what are you doing? The daughter of the Mei family, even the government master has nothing to do with me."
"Even if she is your maid, your attack would be too harsh!"
Mei Yingxue frowned and looked at the bruised little girl, showing unbearable expression.
Lao Xu's mother-in-law looked fierce and said in a sharp voice: "This is our family matter, you little girl, please stay off your own business!"
"I don't care!"
Mei Yingxue was angry and asked in reply.
"Hey, all the neighbors are coming over to see, the daughter of the Meihua Martial Arts School is bullying others!"
The Xu family's mother-in-law cried and howled, as if she had been greatly wronged. She cried to heaven and earth without a single tear on her face.
Mei Yingxue, a teenage girl, had never seen such a scene before. She suddenly felt that her face was hot and her aura weakened, and she said: "You, don't talk nonsense, I didn't bully you."
Old Xu swung his whip and snorted coldly: "Little girl, I might as well tell you that my son is working as an errand in Wu'an County, and our Xu family is not someone to be trifled with!"
Mei Yingxue took a deep breath and said: "You also bought this little girl. How much it costs, I will buy her."
"hehe."
Old Xu sneered: "You want to buy it, but I won't sell it yet! This cheap girl was originally bought to be kept for my children to get married. If you buy her away, who will carry on the family lineage of my old Xu family?"
After saying that, Lao Xu turned his eyes and looked Mei Yingxue up and down, with an unscrupulous and vulgar expression.
"Just buy another one."
Just as she was about to blurt out these words, Mei Yingxue suddenly thought about it. If she bought another maid, wouldn't she have to come to this house and suffer?
The words came to my lips, but I couldn't say them anymore.
A neighbor asked: "Old Xu, I always heard you say that your child is doing well in Wu'an County. Can people like you as a maid?"
Old Xu chuckled and said, "It's okay if you don't like her. When this girl grows up, she can be my wife's daughter-in-law. She can also help my family spread and carry on the family line."
"Old immortal, so you had this idea!"
When the wife of the Xu family heard this, she glared at Lao Xu and said nothing more.
"Ha ha!"
When the neighbors saw this, they all laughed and showed understanding expressions.
No one cared about the trembling little girl kneeling on the ground, and the laughter around her sounded particularly harsh to Mei Yingxue.
The little girl hugged the yellow dog tightly in her arms.
One person and one dog are so weak and helpless, relying on each other for survival.
"Let's go."
Chen Tang's voice came from behind.
Mei Yingxue sighed, feeling helpless in her heart, and turned around to leave.
From the beginning to the end, Chen Tang did not enter the alley, but just watched with cold eyes.
Different from his predecessor, when the murderous intention in his heart is stronger, he often looks calmer.
And he knew that killing people was troublesome.
If you want less trouble, do it cleaner.
When she heard the words 'let's go', the little girl who was kneeling on the spot suddenly trembled, seemed to be aware of it, and looked up in disbelief.
But there was a neighbor in front of her. Her eyes were red and swollen, filled with blood and tears, and her vision was blurred. She could only vaguely see two figures leaving and disappearing at the entrance of the alley.
"Is it an illusion?"
"Brother Ah Tang is still alive?"
"No, if it were Brother Ah Tang, he would definitely come to save me. Brother Ah Tang is already dead, and I only have Xiao Huang by my side."
The little girl lowered her head in disappointment, hugged the yellow dog in her arms, and gently comforted him.
…
Walking out of the alley, Chen Tang and Mei Yingxue were silent all the way.
After a while, Mei Yingxue paused without warning, and suddenly said: "Sometimes, I really want to kill them with one sword!"
Chen Tang looked at her in surprise.
Mei Yingxue quickly came back to her senses, looked at Chen Tang, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, did I frighten you with some of my gaffes? I just have some anger in my heart, so I just want to vent it out."
"Um."
Chen Tang nodded and said: "Everyone has his own destiny, just let it go."
Mei Yingxue frowned.
Such indifferent words are not like what Chen Tang would say.
But soon, she felt relieved after thinking about it.
Because he saved the little girl, Chen Tang almost died and his family was destroyed. After such a change, even if he had a warm blood, he would probably become cold.
"well."
Thinking of this, Mei Yingxue was a little upset and said: "I will send you here and go back first."
"Thank you."
Chen Tang nodded and walked towards home.
The fat old man and Qing Mu stood in the distance, frowning slightly.
The two of them originally planned to follow Chen Tang and observe, but they didn't expect to accidentally bump into the scene just now.
Neither of them expected Chen Tang to say such a thing.
It seems that he is far different from the young man who stood up to the rough patches on the road more than two months ago.
Qingmu said: "Master, let's save that little girl."
"Um."
The fat old man said: "That little girl is a person who knows how to repay kindness. She thought Chen Tang was dead, but more than two months later, she is still thinking about this matter and wants to seek justice for a dead man. That yellow dog protects the master , the girl is also kind-hearted, she doesn’t want the yellow dog to be beaten, she would rather be whipped herself.”
"If you save her, she will risk her life to protect you in the future. Such a person should enjoy a lifetime of wealth and honor, and will not suffer any injustice by being by your side."
Qingmu nodded and said: "After rescuing her, I will set off immediately and take her away from here."
"I'll go with you."
The fat old man said.
Qingmu was surprised and asked: "Master, if you don't stay and observe him, you are sitting in trance, the only one in the world."
The fat old man was uninterested, smiled mockingly, and said: "Everyone has his own destiny, just let it go."
This is exactly what Chen Tang said just now.
Qingmu saw what the fat old man was thinking and said, "It must be because he encountered that accident more than two months ago, so he changed his mind. I can understand it."
The fat old man looked regretful and said: "Maybe. It would be fine if he was an ordinary person. There are many things that he is powerless to do. Now that he has acquired a skill, his blood has become cold, which is a pity."
"It's nothing unusual to sit in trance and take photos. There's just another cold-hearted charlatan in the world. It's very ordinary and boring."
"Qingmu."
After a short pause, the fat old man asked: "Do you know why I have been traveling with you all these years?"
"I don't know." Qingmu shook his head, showing a hint of curiosity.
The fat old man said: "In the future, when you come to Beijing, you will be in glory and high up, and it will be difficult to see these people who are living a difficult life, and you will not be able to hear the sufferings of the people."
"I take you to travel around, just to let you see with your own eyes how the people of Qian Country live."
"Based on your relationship with him, if you can make some suggestions in the future to reduce exorbitant taxes, reduce excessive corvee labor, and punish corrupt officials, it will be a supreme merit that will bless the world."
Qingmu was solemn when he heard the words and said seriously: "Disciple, I have written it down."
The fat old man asked again: "Do you know the meaning of the existence of Jianghu?"
"Jianghu?"
Qingmu shook his head.
Although she has traveled around the world with her master over the years, she has never thought about the meaning of the existence of the world.
The fat old man said: "The people of Li are powerless and often cannot seek justice from the officials. Sometimes, Jianghu will give them an explanation. This is the meaning of Jianghu's existence."
"The government can't take care of things like today, the Jianghu will take care of it!"
When he said this, the fat old man unconsciously showed a hint of murderous intent!
Qingmu thought thoughtfully and said: "So, Jianghu often opposes temples, and the court also regards Jianghu people as aliens."
"good."
The fat old man said: "If one day, the world is stable, the government is harmonious, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, maybe the world will fade away."
