"how about this?"
Zi Yuan picked up a peach wood hairpin and handed it to the girl He Qingxue.
How did the young Zi Yuan and He Qingxue know the meaning of this peach wood hairpin? They just thought it looked good.
After taking the hairpin from Zi Yuan, the eight-year-old girl He Qingxue looked at it.
I have to say that Ziyuan has really good eyesight. The plum blossoms engraved on this hairpin, as well as the rendering of paint, plus the aroma of peach wood, make this hairpin even more classy.
After looking at it, Qingxue raised her head and looked at the smiling Chen Ziyuan: "It looks good, it's quite expensive." Then she shook her head and wanted to leave.
"Hey, don't leave." Zi Yuan took Qingxue's hand and asked, "Boss, how much does this hairpin cost?"
"Five hundred coins."
After hearing this, Ziyuan took out the silver with his other hand and handed it to the stall owner.
While waiting for the stall owner to give her change, Qingxue said with some distress: "Five hundred coins, I'd say it's expensive. If you spend money like this, your parents won't beat you up when you go back."
Zi Yuan smiled: "Don't worry, my father can make money easily. Besides, it's not expensive." After saying that, Zi Yuan took out his wallet and let Qingxue take a look: "Look, these are My pocket money.”
Looking at the money in this purse, eight-year-old He Qingxue was really envious. All her belongings were not as much as his pocket money.
The boss found the change. After taking it, Ziyuan handed the peach wood hairpin to He Qingxue and put the change the boss had found into his purse.
"It's okay. I'll just give you this peach wood hairpin. You're welcome."
Looking at the hairpin in my hand that even the family could not afford, I couldn't be happier. Seeing Zi Yuan giving everything he could, but having nothing to give him, I felt a little overwhelmed.
"You don't have to give me anything, just wear it if you like it."
After putting away his purse, Zi Yuan looked at He Qingxue with a smile. Seeing that she liked the peach wood hairpin so much, he was really happy for her.
"Come on, let's go over there and eat delicious food."
"good."
Just as we reached the bridge, it was very crowded with people coming and going.
Afraid that he and Zi Yuan would be lost, a pair of small hands tightly held the corners of Chen Zi Yuan's clothes and walked among the people.
At this time, Chen Ziyuan didn't know that he was being followed by bad guys.
And a line in Chen Ziyuan's purse was exposed, but he didn't know it yet.
Seeing that the time was ripe, the man hurried over, pretended to bump into Chen Ziyuan, then pulled the purse out and hurried away.
Seeing that he was hit, Chen Ziyuan immediately became alert and touched his purse. Sure enough, it was no longer there. Seeing this, Chen Ziyuan anxiously looked at He Qingxue beside him and hurriedly told him: "My purse has been stolen. You Come to the county office and wait for me in a while, I will chase the bad guys."
After finishing speaking, before He Qingxue could respond, Chen Ziyuan quickly chased after him as if he had stepped on a hot wheel.
Not long after, Chen Ziyuan saw a person running in front of him. He must have stolen his wallet. Ziyuan immediately increased his power and rushed over, shouting: "Thief! Don't run!"
Hearing Ziyuan's shouts, the surrounding people suddenly became alert, and they all opened the way for Chen Ziyuan.
When the thief saw the child running so fast, he immediately put all his energy into sucking the milk and picked up the speed.
"Stop! Where to run!"
After running, the thief ran into a small alley where no one was going. No one was going there, so the thief ran faster.
He was still working hard to practice martial arts with Uncle Xu, otherwise he would have been exhausted. However, after running so far, Chen Ziyuan didn't feel tired at all and he ran faster.
After chasing him, the thief was chased into a dead-end alley.
Seeing that there was no way to run, and then looking at the little kid running towards him alone, the thief suddenly relaxed his vigilance.
Isn't he just a little kid? A man as big as himself can't beat him?
After confirming his idea, the thief stood on the ground with a smile on his face, preparing to kill the little boy.
Seeing that the thief stopped running, Chen Ziyuan showed a smile on his face: "Run, why don't you run away? If you don't run, don't blame me if you get beaten later."
Hearing the little boy's arrogant tone, the smile on the thief's face grew a little brighter.
I saw Ziyuan walking quickly. Just as he was about to kick his foot, the thief grabbed his foot.
I had learned kung fu in Ziyuan, and all my strength suddenly went to my feet. When my feet turned, the thief's hand almost turned in a circle. The pain caused the thief to retract his hand and shake it a few times.
Before he could throw it away, Zi Yuan kicked him again, hitting the thief in the stomach.
His stomach felt like a rolling wave, and the pain made the thief want to fall to the ground and rub his stomach.
But he can't fall down now. If he falls down, he doesn't know how he will be taught a lesson by this little boy. The thief has finally understood the meaning of the saying, 'Don't just judge people by their appearance'.
"How? Are you convinced?" Zi Yuan was very proud.
Before he could hear a reply, the thief's fists and kicks attacked him, but Ziyuan dodged them and even kicked him a few times.
"Who are you?" the thief asked.
"Teach your man a lesson." After saying this, Ziyuan was about to punch him a few times, but the thief surrendered.
"Stop, stop, stop. No fight, no fight, I surrender." With that said, the thief threw out the purse he had just stolen.
Chen Ziyuan picked up his wallet and packed it.
"I...can I go?" The thief thought about running away.
"Leave? No way, let's go to the county government office."
After listening to the boy's words, and thinking about the way the little boy subdued him just now, and then thinking about the punishments from the Yamen, he suddenly became frightened: "Hero! Do it well! Do it well! Let me go. "
"No. Do you want to go by yourself or have someone fight you? It's up to you to choose one."
Upon hearing this, who wants to be beaten? Besides, it’s not like he didn’t feel the way he was being beaten just now.
"Okay, okay. I'll go by myself, go by myself."
The thief stood up and walked slowly towards the Yamen with his thin figure. Chen Ziyuan, who was only ten years old, was still watching behind him, for fear that he would run away all of a sudden.
When he walked slowly, he was sometimes yelled at by Chen Ziyuan. The thief did not expect that he would be so oppressed by a child. If his colleagues knew about it, he would laugh out loud and he would not be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life.
As he walked, unknowingly, the thief had arrived in front of the Xitong County Yamen. On such a day, the Yamen guards did not have a chance to rest and were still doing their duty.
The girl he met just now, He Qingxue, had been waiting at the yamen gate for a long time. She saw a strange man standing in front of Ziyuan, and there were several wounds on his face. He thought he must be a thief, but Chen Ziyuan looked proud. Not to mention his appearance, Qingxue fell in love with Chen Ziyuan even more.
"Let's go." Chen Ziyuan shouted.
After hearing this, the thief picked up his feet and walked slowly towards the Yamen.
"stop!"
"For what?"
The two guards at the yamen gate shouted.
"You two, this man just stole my things, you should put him in jail." Chen Ziyuan said.
Hearing the words of the boy in front of them, the two guards looked at each other and laughed happily.
If the child is a thief, they both believe that the tall man in front of them is the embodiment of justice, but on the other hand, they are more or less unconvinced.
"How do you prove that he is a thief? Besides, can a little kid like you beat him?" Ichishou asked.
"Just because he stole my wallet." Chen Ziyuan said arrogantly, and then explained: "What can't I beat? I can beat both of them."
After saying that, Chen Ziyuan kicked the thief in front of him, and the thief immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
"I was wrong, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again next time. I won't dare to do it again next time. I won't steal people's things anymore." The thief begged for mercy.
Upon hearing this, the two government officials were dumbfounded, but seeing that the man admitted his mistake, there must be nothing wrong.
"Come here! Take him away!" With a roar, two yamen guards walked out of the yamen and escorted the thief to the cell.
"Whose child are you? So powerful." A yamen servant said with interest.
"Zhang Chunxu, do you know him?" Chen Ziyuan said arrogantly.
After hearing this, the yamen servant smiled slightly: "Who doesn't know his reputation? He is a household name throughout Xitong County, and he is also the head catcher of our yamen."
"He is my father." Zi Yuan said.
After hearing this, the two government officials suddenly realized that no wonder the thief was subdued by him.
"Okay, now that the thief has been delivered, I'm leaving."
After saying this, Chen Ziyuan turned around and walked towards the girl He Qingxue beside Shi Dunzi.
"Brother, you are so awesome. How did you catch the thief?" the little girl Qingxue asked with interest.
Zi Yuan smiled slightly: "My father said that you will not suffer any disadvantages when learning martial arts, and you will not be fooled when learning martial arts. After practicing for so many years, it is useful today."
Seeing the excitement on the street that had not yet dissipated, Ziyuan said again: "The river over there is very beautiful, let's go there to play."
"Okay." Qingxue agreed without much thought.
The two walked to the river, sat on the bank, looked at the river lanterns floating on the water, and then looked at the people coming and going on the stone bridge. Zi Yuan asked, "Where is your home?"
Qingxue pointed: "Over there. Where are you?"
Ziyuan pointed the same way, over here.
Looking at their gestures, it seemed that their homes were separated by the river in front of them.
"Brother, have you been to the capital?" Qingxue asked.
Ziyuan shook his head: "I haven't been there. My father said that the capital is much bigger than Xitong County, a lot more lively, and there are more people than this. When I grow up, I will go to the capital."
Listening to Zi Yuan's words, eight-year-old Qingxue said, "Then... can big brother take me with you?"
"Okay. After I have tried it in my hometown, I can go to the capital. I will take you with me then." Zi Yuan said.
Qingxue, who was only eight years old, didn't know so much. She only knew that her elder brother was a very powerful person.
"Brother, when will you take the provincial examination?"
"The provincial examination will be held in this month. The teacher said that with my brain, I can easily pass the examination. When I pass the examination, I will take you there next spring, okay." Zi Yuan said.
"Yeah. Big brother, are we the only ones going?"
Ziyuan thought for a while, but he didn't know yet, so he said unconfidently: "Maybe. Don't worry, no one will dare to bully you as long as I am here."
"Okay, big brother."
"Let's do this. When we meet from now on, you can call me Brother Ziyuan, and I'll call you...Sister Qingxue, okay?"
Eight-year-old He Qingxue nodded and responded: "Okay."
"Brother Ziyuan, when will we meet next?" He Qingxue looked at Ziyuan.
"Okay, let's meet here at the end of every month, okay?"
"So long."
"I still have homework to do. My father teaches me martial arts every night. At the end of the month, I will take a night off from him and come here to see you."
"Okay then, it's settled."
Ziyuan nodded.
Seeing that it was the first time someone was treating her so well, Qingxue stretched out her hand and looked at Ziyuan: "Let's pull the hook."
"good."
"Hook."
"Hang yourself."
"a hundred years."
"No changes allowed."
"Whoever becomes a puppy becomes a puppy."
"Certainly!"
The retractor was ready, Qingxue confirmed it again: "Is it agreed?"
"Uh-huh."
After chatting for a long time, the two of them got up and continued shopping in Xitong County, buying a lot of things.
