It was such a coincidence that as soon as they squeezed out of the crowd watching the sideshow, they heard someone shouting that they had lost their money bag.
It was a boy's voice. He sounded like he was still in his teens. He was in the process of changing his voice and had a drake voice.
Li Muxue was a little surprised and said, "Huh? It seems to be my cousin's voice."
Qingyan raised her eyebrows, Uncle Mu Xuetang? Isn't that Li Hao's son? There are only three third generations of the Li family staying in Qinzhou. One is Li Hanqin, one is Li Hanwei, and the other is Li Hanyun, the eldest son of Li Hao's family.
Li Hanwei is Li Hanqin's younger brother. Li Muxue can only call him uncle, and the only person he calls cousin is Li Hanyun.
I heard from Xue Huan'er that Li Hao didn't get married until he was over 20 years old. He had been fighting with his father and brother in the field before. Later, his mother pretended to be sick and tricked him back into the capital. She forced him to find a girl of the same family at the risk of death, and then he got a wife.
Not long after getting married, he returned to his father's and brother's residence, leaving his newlywed wife in the capital, and did not return until a few years later.
It is said that the child was already three or four years old when he returned. After he left, his wife found out that she was pregnant. As a result, he did not go back until the time of delivery. When he returned, the child would run away.
After that, he took his wife and children back to the military camp. Later, he gave birth to two more daughters and one son, but they all died in infancy, so until now he was just a single child.
Qingyan felt a little strange after hearing the news before. It's not that she likes Li Hao. She is still young and knows that the two of them are in two different worlds. It is impossible. How could she allow herself to be tempted randomly.
There is a feeling that things have changed and things have changed, as if the world has changed all of a sudden.
Of course, it was just a momentary activity in my mind, and it passed after a little sigh.
But now that she met the other person's son, she suddenly felt a little awkward. It was a little similar to the first time she met the Li Muxue siblings, but also a little different.
When I met Xue Huan'er, who was already a woman and a mother, I had the same feeling when I saw her children again. Suddenly, I felt like I had grown up a generation ago.
The difference is that she regarded Xue Huan'er as a junior at the time, and now she suddenly became a peer, while she was still a little awkward with Li Hanyun. After all, the other person's father had a crush on her, which was a bit embarrassing.
Asking Wang Qingyue and the two maids to wait here, she followed Li Muxue and squeezed back in. She saw a tall and strong young man putting one hand on his waist and frowning at the people around him.
There was a small vacuum in the crowd that was originally crowded together.
And behind him stood two men who looked like boys. There was a thin layer of sweat on their heads in this weather, and their clothes were a little messy. It seemed that the boy had squeezed in to watch the sideshow, leaving the boys behind or They were left behind, and these two just caught up.
The two boys shouted to the people around them: "Please don't leave now. My young master's money bag is missing. I hope the person who took it will hand it over quickly, otherwise we will find out, and I'm afraid we won't be able to survive." Let’s go!”
As he spoke, he observed the expressions on the faces of the people around him, as if he wanted to blow them up like this.
Qingyan also used her spiritual sense to observe everyone's expressions. Most of them looked at the excitement. Occasionally, there were a few who curled their lips, probably because they heard what the boy said and thought it was of no use.
There are also those with a bored expression on their faces. Judging from their clothes and temperament, they should be the kind of people who hate the rich. There is also a bit of schadenfreude in their eyes, as if others losing money is a very happy thing for them.
Although there were no flaws in the expressions of two of them, their eyes kept moving around and looking around. From their slightly drooped eyelids, it could be seen that they were looking at the position of people's belts.
Not out of excitement, not out of fear, nor out of boredom, just like little thieves looking for a target. Most people nowadays have money bags tied around their waists, so these two people are the most suspicious.
Qingyan immediately locked onto them. The two of them were not big, just over 1.6 meters tall. They probably weighed less than a hundred pounds each. They were dressed in dusty clothes, but they were clean. They were too dirty to get close to. someone else's body.
She looked at them with her consciousness, and sure enough, she saw a money bag on one of them that was incompatible with his clothes.
The money bag has a dark green gourd embroidered on it, with a blue satin bottom and dark green tassels underneath the drawstring.
At first glance, it belonged to Li Hanyun, because the fabric was exactly the same as the clothes he was wearing, so it should be made of the same material.
Generally speaking, the clothes and accessories worn by our young masters and ladies are matched. Even if the colors are sometimes different for the sake of good looks, the materials are still the same, so they are easy to distinguish.
At this time, Li Muxue and she had already squeezed into the crowd. Li Muxue pulled her straight to Li Hanyun and shouted: "Fifth uncle, you are also here at the temple fair, but what happened to you?"
Of course she had already heard him shouting that he had lost his money bag, so she wanted to say hello first.
Li Hanyun saw his cousin's brows relax a little, "Xiaoxue, you are also here to visit the temple fair. Are you here with your mother? Why are you the only one waiting for you? There are many people at the temple fair, so be careful. "
His loving eyes, trying to show off the air of an elder, coupled with his drake voice, made Qingyan want to laugh. She was obviously only in her teens.
Li Muxue didn't think it was a big deal. She was the eldest of the fourth generation in her family, and she was used to having elders who were not much older than herself or even younger than herself.
"I came here with my mother and my aunt. My mother was resting in the temple and we went out for a walk. This is my aunt..."
She introduced Qingyan and Li Hanyun to each other, and they nodded and said hello, then turned the topic back.
Li Hanyun said to them: "I just wanted to give a reward when I found that the money bag was missing. The money in it was nothing but a few taels of silver. The main thing was that it contained a jade pendant that I carry with me.
It was a birthday gift from my grandfather. I don’t know why the rope suddenly broke today, so I put it in my purse. Unexpectedly, it was stolen by a thief. "
When everyone heard his understatement that there were only a few taels of silver in it, they all quietly took a deep breath.
A few taels, only a few taels. You must know that their average annual expenses are only a few taels. They don't care at all if they lose it. If there isn't a jade pendant inside, they probably won't look for it.
It’s really annoying to compare people to each other~
Li Muxue and Qingyan looked astonished. They just said that for the children of wealthy families, losing a money bag is actually nothing. It is not a big deal, it is just a loss of some money.
No one comes out with just a money bag, which is used to hold broken coins. They also carry real banknotes and other things in their arms.
Another man lost his money bag and threw it away, cursing at most the thief. The woman was more anxious. After all, it was a personal item and she was afraid of bad reputation.
Even if the folk customs are open, if a woman's personal belongings appear in the hands of a strange man, it is not clear. Even if there is no such thing as committing suicide for the sake of innocence, or marrying the other party, it will still cause some rumors, and the final marriage market will also be affected.
Therefore, women pay more attention to protecting their personal belongings.
Qingyan's consciousness was always locked on the two thieves, so she stopped Li Hanyun when he wanted the two boys to search themselves for the people around them.
If you really do this, it will not be good for the reputation of the garrison. Except for real thieves, being searched is a bit insulting to everyone, and it will inevitably give people the feeling of bullying others.
Seeing Li Hanyun looking at her in confusion, Qingyan said nothing and simply stepped aside, appearing next to the two thieves, and grabbed one of them by the arm.
This person was the one she had just discovered with Li Hanyun's money bag, but now the money bag was no longer on him, but had been secretly transferred to another person by him.
She just thought he wanted the other person to take away the stolen goods. He stayed to continue observing the situation, but she didn't expect that he wanted to continue to find another target to attack!
Qingyan raised his arm and saw a dark red purse in his hand, embroidered with peach blossoms. It looked like it was for women.
Then I heard a chubby aunt in front of Qingyan shouting: "My wallet! You little thief dare to steal my money! I'll beat you to death!"
He grabbed the dark red purse from the little thief's hand and stretched out his hand to push it hard.
If Qingyan hadn't held her arm, she would have pushed the little thief down.
"Did he also steal my purse?"
Li Hanyun came over with the boy and asked Qingyan.
Just as Qingyan was about to nod, she noticed that the other one was quietly moving out, trying to run away.
She didn't have time to answer Li Hanyun, so she directly pressed the thief's shoulder to use her strength, and kicked the other one to the ground with a flying kick.
Fortunately, there is some space between people now, otherwise it would probably hit someone and affect innocent people.
When they said there was a thief before and then said they wanted to search their bodies, everyone subconsciously distanced themselves from the people around them.
One is that he is afraid that if the person around him is a thief and steals from him, the other is that he is afraid that if the thief transfers the things to himself, then he will be covered in words and cannot explain clearly.
The young master who lost the money looked like he didn't belong to an ordinary family. They couldn't afford to offend him. If they really wanted to take it upon themselves, they would have to skin him even if they didn't die.
So in this way, Qingyan would have less worries about taking action.
After Qingyan knocked the man down, she said to the boy: "Go and search his body to see if anything is on him. I just saw the two of them together. Everyone wanted to run away, and the money bag It should be put on him."
As she spoke, she tightened her grip on her hands, because she was about to capture the stolen goods, and the guy she caught was struggling.
The two young men glanced at their young master and stepped forward after receiving a nod. One pressed him down and the other searched him.
Finally, three purses were found in a hidden pocket in the man's pants, one of which belonged to Li Hanyun.
The other two, one is blue plain, with nothing embroidered on it, the fabric is very good, and there should be a lot of money inside.
The other one is light blue with blue grass embroidered on it. It should belong to a woman.
The people present saw the two purses but did not come forward to claim them. It seemed that the owner was not among this group of people.
Li Hanyun took the purse from the boy's hand, opened it and looked at it. Seeing that the jade pendant and the money were there, he thanked Qingyan and tied it on his belt again.
Qingyan glanced at the two thieves and said, "How to deal with them? Do you want to report them to the official?"
Li Hanyun was a little hesitant. It wasn't that he handled the things lightly after he found them. The main reason was that this was not a city and there was no government office at all.
If you want to report to the official, you have to go back to the city. This trip takes two or three hours. By then, the temple fair will be dispersed today.
Seeing his hesitation, Qingyan also thought of this. We were on the mountain now, and the reporting officer had to go back to the city. Going back and forth was too much time.
Now, unlike in later generations, there are police stations everywhere, and larger scenic spots and scenic spots have police rooms.
In ancient times, no matter whether they were the rich officials at the upper level or the poor people at the lower level, they were naturally repelled by the government and would not disturb the government if something happened.
Large families mostly resolve matters privately, and ordinary people also put their clan first. They will never make trouble with the government if they can make their own decisions. If you don't say anything about it, your reputation will be affected.
Unless you are forced to a certain level, you will just go around.
So in the end, the two thieves were not sent to prison, but were beaten up by two boys and let go.
Of course, the two of them should not think about stealing anything again in a short period of time, because Qingyan's pinch and kick were enough for them to cultivate for several months.
The strength of her hand was incredible. The opponent's bones had been cracked by the squeeze, and he couldn't move at all in a short time.
That kick also broke her ribs, but she restrained her strength. After all, the crime was not punishable by death, it was just to teach them a profound lesson, so her internal organs were not injured.
When things came to an end, the sideshow continued. They squeezed out of the crowd to join Wang Qingyue. This time, there were three more men in the temple fair group.
Ever since Li Muxue told him that Qingyan knew Kung Fu, Li Hanyun had been looking at her with bright eyes, like a puppy seeing meat and bones.
Qingyan resisted the urge to rub her arms. She felt goosebumps rising on her skin.
When I got to a place with fewer people, I finally couldn't help but said, "Master Li, can you stop looking at me like that? I'll be very awkward."
Li Hanyun touched his nose awkwardly, cleared his throat and said: "Ahem, I'm sorry, I just admire Miss Yang's skills very much. I don't know who she studied under. Can you recommend me to me? I... I also want to practice martial arts."
Although their family came from a military background, they learned most about platooning and formation, and their martial arts skills were very crude. They just used knives or spears to slash, chop, and stab without any skills at all.
He has also seen the so-called Jianghu people in other officials' houses. To be honest, the moves are fancy and not very lethal. They are not as beautiful as Miss Yang who can defeat the enemy with one move.
Although he had never seen Miss Yang practice a complete set of boxing skills, he felt it was even more powerful after hearing his eldest niece's description, so he wanted to inquire about it and become a disciple.
