After walking a little further, she found a place to live. After a night's rest, Mo Lan went downstairs and ordered some buns, picked one up and was about to nibble on it.
A big man came in at the door. He seemed to be more than two meters tall, with a strong build. The muscles in his arms were bigger than Chu Yuan's head. He had a beard on his face and was carrying a four-ringed sword.
The knife struck the counter with a bang, "Shopkeeper Xu, have you turned a deaf ear to what I said to you a few days ago? Or do you look down on me?"
Shopkeeper Xu stood up tremblingly, cupped his hands and said, "What you said is really embarrassing for me. The bears on the black ridge are really too ferocious. I spent a lot of money, but no one went there." Those who came back alive, I heard that the bear can eat people, the little ones..."
The big man swung his knife and put it on Shopkeeper Xu's neck.
"Bah! You think I, Yan Sandao, am easy to fool. Then Master Liu said that his father would marry his two daughters to me only if I killed the black bear. You have been trying to dodge it for several days. Are you trying to spoil my good deeds?"
"I give you three more days, and if you don't find someone to catch the bear, I will burn your inn and ask your mother-in-law to come out and serve me!"
Shopkeeper Xu was filled with hatred, but Yan Sandao was a relative of the county master, so even the mayor did not dare to offend him.
He could only swallow his saliva and said: "My mother-in-law went back to her parents' house, and she hasn't come back yet?"
"Fart! How long have you been back at your parents' house? Since she won't come out, this pretty boy will be the one to serve me today!"
Yan Sandao turned around and looked at Mo Lan, who was sitting in the corner and was calmly eating steamed buns, feeling extremely unhappy.
The other customers in the shop ran away when they saw him coming, but this little girl didn't move. She looked unfamiliar, she must be a stranger.
He strode to Mo Lan and reached out to touch her face. The chopsticks in Mo Lan's hand quickly caught his hand and turned it over. There was a click and his wrist was broken.
Yan Sandao fell to the ground and rolled in pain, "Ah - brat, just wait for me!" After saying that, he picked up the big knife on the ground and stumbled out.
The shopkeeper was running around anxiously: "Young Master, please leave here quickly. If it's too late, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave!"
"Shopkeeper, come and sit down. We have just arrived in Black Ridge Town and are not familiar with the environment here. Please tell us."
Mo Lan walked to a clean place and sat down, smiling at the shopkeeper, who looked a little crazy.
At this point, Mo Lan didn't bother to get rid of the red spots on her face. Anyway, with the old lady's medicine, her face recovered normally.
"You don't know that Yan Sandao is the biggest bully in Qingying County. The eldest man in Qingying County is his uncle. On weekdays, he does all kinds of evil, including burning, killing and looting. If anyone dares to offend him, he will definitely kill him. Kill that man’s whole family.”
"My little son, after bumping into him on the street, was tricked into the mountains and eaten by hungry wolves. When we found him, only half of his body was left. However, there are seniors and juniors in my clan. , all these years, I can only endure it. Today you cut off his hand, he will definitely hold a grudge, and he must have gone to the county to find someone. You'd better leave now, I'm afraid it will be too late..." Shopkeeper Xu, As he spoke, he wiped away tears. In Daxing, the fight between the people and the officials was nothing more than hitting an egg against a stone.
Yan Sandao? This name sounds gangster. Mo Lan originally planned to leave it alone, but today she cut off his hand, which will definitely bring trouble to the shopkeeper.
As he said, they already have a hard time, so why bother them?
"There's no need to be afraid, shopkeeper. I'm curious, what's going on with the black bear? Why does Yan Sandao force you to help him catch the bear."
That Yan Sandao was big and thick, Shopkeeper Xu was like a skinny monkey in front of him. No one with a discerning eye would let Shopkeeper Xu catch the bear.
After chatting with Shopkeeper Xu for a while, Mo Lan also understood the general situation.
Yan Sandao's uncle, County Magistrate Zhao, made an engagement for him, and he was the eldest daughter of Yuan Liu's maternal family.
It just so happened that this bastard fell in love with two daughters at the same time and said he wanted to marry both sisters back home.
Liu Yuanwai's son was the master of County Magistrate Zhao, so he did not dare to refute. After returning home and informing him, Liu Yuanwai made a request to delay the delay, that is, he asked him to capture the black bear hiding in the black ridge and use its fur as a salary. Only then can both daughters be married to him.
It just so happened that this guy was strong on the outside but hard on the inside, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. After knowing that black bears could eat people, he went to the Xu family, the richest family in town, and forced them to help him catch the bears.
When the shopkeeper saw that Mo Lan and his party were not afraid, and only regarded her as young and energetic, he unconsciously felt pity in his heart.
After a while, officers and soldiers surrounded the inn. Yan Sandao's hand was bandaged and he said arrogantly, "Call that little bitch out of the morning. Let's, the magistrate of Qingying County, look for him!"
The man in blue official uniform looked to be in his forties, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a beard. He looked incorruptible. He was sitting in the lobby drinking tea without saying a word!
Standing behind him was a thin scholar, probably Master Liu.
"Hey! The big bear is back? One of its claws is broken. Are you here to break the other one so that it can be paired?" Mo Lan slowly walked downstairs and looked at Yan Sandao sarcastically.
"His grandma, stinky girl, I'm going to kill you today." Yan Sandao's eyes widened and he shouted at Mo Lan!
"Presumptuous!" The county magistrate put down the tea in his hand and said to Mo Lan or Yan Sandao.
Zhao Zhengshen looked Mo Lan up and down without hesitation. This girl could cut off three swords with a pair of chopsticks. She should be a junior spiritual master.
Even above him, looking at his clothes and clothes, although he is not too wealthy, he is not an ordinary person.
"I am Zhao Zhengshen, the magistrate of Qingying County. My nephew has offended many people today. I hope you will show your kindness. I don't know which lady you are from and when you came. I am really disappointed to welcome you from afar!"
Zhao Zhengshen ignored Yan Sandao's surprised expression, put down the saucer in his hand steadily, stood up and said politely to Mo Lan.
Mo Lan smiled, and that smile looked full of contempt for Zhao Zhengshen, like a playboy.
"Zhao what? I've never heard of it. This young lady is the direct daughter of the Qin family!" After saying this, Mo Lan raised her chin high, her arrogant look making Zhao Zhengshen angry.
When he heard that he was from the Qin family, Zhao Zhengshen didn't dare to get angry. Who dared to offend the Qin family?
"It turns out to be Miss Qin. I have admired her for a long time. I admire the Qin family very much. Miss Qin is going out to Black Ridge Town this time, but there is no place to live near the college? Where can I stay in this poor inn? Why not stay at my house? My wife..." Zhao Zhengshen was smiling and extremely attentive.
"Are you annoyed? You're so verbose, rolling, rolling!" Mo Lan drove the person away with an impatient expression.
Yan Sandao was dragged away by the yamen noisily. Zhao Zhengshen said nothing and left the inn with a smile. When he went out, he pretended to be Lou Guanjue, snorted coldly, and left with his head raised.
"Go and see if he has the Qin family's passion beads on him in the middle of the night. If not, hum!"
Zhao Zhengshen said to the man in black beside him. The man in black wore a black mask, only showing his eagle-like eyes, which were filled with deep cold!
