"Five years." Xiao Mu replied very naturally without stopping his hands.
"Where did you live during those five years?" Ye Luoxin asked directly.
"Beijing." Xiao Mu finally stopped writing and looked directly at Ye Luoxin, "There are some things that I don't want to hide from you. It's really better not to know than to know."
That's it again.
Ye Luoxin knew that Xiao Mu must have a reason that he couldn't tell.
"Then tell me when you feel you can."
She continued what she was doing and quickly changed the topic: "I hope those who bought the pig's trotters today can help spread the word in the college, so that we can sell out all these food boxes tomorrow."
"Yeah!" Xiao Mu nodded and said no more.
The next day, the two of them still got up very early. The pig's trotters had not yet come out of the pot, and everyone else got up to help.
When they packed their food boxes and were about to go out, they saw a person squatting at the door.
"Big flower?" Ye Luoxin recognized it at a glance, "Why are you squatting here!"
When Dahua saw Ye Luoxin, she stood up very happily and pointed to the basket beside her: "I know you have rabbits at home and you need to cut a lot of grass every day. I cut an extra basket in the morning and gave it to you. .”
The girl's eyes are bright, showing a clean amber color in the sun.
"Thank you." Ye Luoxin smiled. "If you have time, help me cut a basket of grass every morning. Can I pay you ten cents a month?"
"No money!" Dahua waved his hand quickly: "Grass is not valuable, it is just cut by hand."
"Okay, you put the grass at the door and Xiao Jing will come over to collect it later. I'm still in a hurry. I'll tell you when I get back." Ye Luoxin hurriedly went out, packed the pig's trotters and left.
They arrived at the academy a little earlier than yesterday. Ye Luoxin was not in a hurry to unload the car and wanted to do it later. Unexpectedly, five people walked straight over on the opposite street.
They were wearing servants' clothes, and they looked like they were servants of wealthy people.
Before they could get closer, they waved to a few people: "Let's go, who allowed you to set up a stall here? Take your things away quickly."
Ye Luoxin stood up straight and asked several people, "Are they the stewards of the academy?"
"What kind of academy steward?" The visitor was very impatient.
"Since we are not from the academy, why do you care about us setting up a stall in front of the academy?"
"Not only at the entrance of the academy, but also in the entire Qinghe County, if our master says he won't let you do it, you can't do it! Who said you don't know that the sky is high and the earth is high, and you can grab Xu Ji's business?"
"We are just selling pig trotters, why did we steal Xu Ji's business? If Xu Ji is so big, we can't even have the capacity to accommodate people." Ye Luoxin smiled scornfully.
She really couldn't believe that a big restaurant would take such a small business like theirs seriously.
"What nonsense are you talking to them about? Can't I just tell you to smash it?" From where the five people just came out, a handsome young man walked out.
He is slightly fat, has a beautiful face, is dressed in silk and satin, and is shaking a folding fan in his hand.
Seeing Ye Luoxin and the others, he showed a half-cold and half-sarcastic smile and ordered his men:
"Smashed all their stuff for me."
"Who dares!"
Just as the five men were about to take action, Xiao Mu pulled Ye Luoxin behind him and stood in front of several people.
"Hey, you're pretty tough!" Young Master's smile became even louder, "You guys, let him know what it means to be unable to hold your arms too big..."
Before he could say the word "leg", Xiao Mu stepped up and kicked him in the knee, causing him to kneel down immediately.
"How dare you attack our Master Xu!" Seeing that their master had suffered a loss, several of his subordinates rushed forward, knowing that they were not well protected.
Xiao Mu was not in a hurry and kicked one away. He pinched the necks of two others and bumped their heads together, causing them to faint immediately.
No countryman has ever seen such a scene.
Liu Er, who was driving the car, was frightened and saw a man rushing towards them. He was so frightened that he swung his whip on the cow's butt. The old cow was in pain, threw away his hooves and ran rampant until it hit a big tree. Come down.
Both the people and the cows were fine, but the pig's trotters in a cart were in trouble and they were all scattered.
Everything changes in an instant.
When Ye Luoxin reacted, all the food boxes were smashed.
"Quickly, report it to the official! Some unscrupulous people injured Master Xu in the street, let the official arrest them!"
Mr. Xu's men ran to report to the officials, but Ye Luoxin and others stayed on the spot and did not move.
Of course, this kind of thing must be reported to the officials. If they don't report it, Ye Luoxin will go to the Yamen to seek justice.
After a while, several government officials came to the scene and took everyone present to the county government office.
However, Ye Luoxin and the other three were leaving, and there were government servants with knives behind them who kept urging and scolding them.
But Mr. Xu went there in a sedan.
After arriving at the county government office, before going to court, Ye Luoxin heard Mr. Xu's men saying to the county government officials: "Second brother, these three people injured Mr. Xu in the street, tie them up quickly." Get up and take him to prison."
Xiao Mu looked indifferent: "You have been convicted before the county magistrate has been raised to court?"
The officer surnamed Bai rolled his eyes at Xiao Mu: "I beat someone in the street, and there are all the witnesses and physical evidence. Do you still want to deny it?"
As he said this, the yamen servant surnamed Bai wanted to take action.
It happened that another officer on the same duty came over and saw Ye Luoxin and Xiao Mu, with a look of surprise on his face: "Master Xiao? Why are you here?"
"The county magistrate said yesterday that he would go to Qingshan Village to find you. Unexpectedly, we ran into you here! You three, please come with me. I will inform the county magistrate!"
"Brother Li, they are criminals who beat people on the street! You still want to introduce them to the county magistrate. Do you know who they beat?"
"Brother Bai, this is the magistrate's distinguished guest. We'll talk about the beating later."
"Really?" The yamen servant surnamed Bai looked at his brother. The brother who worked as a servant in the Xu family also looked confused. Isn't he a farmer who sells goods at a stall? How come you became the magistrate’s distinguished guest?
Could it be that their young master is in big trouble this time?
"Then...could it be a misunderstanding? If they are really the distinguished guests of the county magistrate, Mr. Xu can let them go temporarily."
"My lord!" Ye Luoxin said unhurriedly: "A civilian woman wants to file a complaint!"
The officer surnamed Li quickly asked: "Who are you suing?"
"I am suing Mr. Xu of the Xu family for robbing and oppressing people in the street, and ignoring the laws of our court. Even the county magistrate does not take him seriously. His servant said: The boundaries of the entire Qinghe County are determined by Mr. Xu of his family. Calculate."
