The burly man with a strong back and shoulders was named Song Guide. He had a beard and a beard, and he was doing official business. He had a simple mind and not a treacherous heart. As long as he didn't make him uncomfortable, he was quite an ordinary person.
Seeing the moment when Yumei was frightened, she narrowed her eyes and laughed proudly. Seeing Yumei's arrogant look, she also tightened her face and tilted her head to look at Yumei seriously. She looked quite magical.
"Who asked you to set up a stall?"
"I want to show off, what else can I do?"
"Have you paid the tax?"
"What does sleeping or not sleeping have to do with setting up a stall? If you don't sleep, you are a night turtle tiger (bat)," Yumei stood up straight, raised her chest, and said in an inviolable manner: "Are you the annoying little person who falls asleep at night? "
"Hahaha... you are so sharp-tongued, little girl."
"Let's go, let's go. It seems that she is also a poor person who relies on craftsmanship to make a living. Let's go to the next stall and have a look." A thin middle-aged man from behind walked up and said to the bearded man: "Look at the way she is dressed. It’s like I didn’t get any money from the sale.”
"We've made money from the sale, so what? Can you still steal the money?" Yumei regretted it as soon as she said it.
"You girl, are you talking back?"
As he said this, a group of people gathered around to watch the fun.
Song Guide went crazy when he saw that there were more people. The more people there were, the more angry he became. He couldn't show off at a time like this. When there were fewer people, who would think that he was very powerful?
"You have to pay taxes to me when you earn money, and no one can do it." Song Guide rolled up his sleeves, blushed and looked around, and immediately felt that he was much greater, less intimidating and less manly.
When the two attendants behind him saw Song Guide's temper, they also helped grab Yumei's stall, put it in a basket, and picked up Yumei to take away.
Yu Mei suddenly burst into tears.
"You too, aren't you just kids buying something?"
"It's not worth it. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to go to war?"
"What a pitiful little girl."
You guys, just say something to me, and try to defend Yumei from injustice.
The more this happens, the more energetic Song Guide becomes. If he doesn't use his little power, he will be looked down upon by others, so he must not compromise.
"Take away..." With a wave of his hand, he swaggered towards the tax office. The two attendants grabbed Yumei's arm and followed closely.
Seeing that the sun has turned to the west, the market is still seven or eight miles away from home, and we have to climb two mountains. If we can't make it home at night, what should we do if we encounter a wolf on the way?
After dawdling for most of the day, it was getting later and later, and Yumei was sweating profusely.
"Where do you live? Go and notify her parents to pick her up." Song Guide pressed his huge body against the stool, lifted his thick legs hard, and crossed his legs.
"My family is in Catalpa, and there is only my father at home, but no mother." Yumei lowered her head and clasped her fingers in reply.
"Where is the catalpa tree?" Song Guide looked at them inexplicably and asked, "Why haven't you heard of it?"
"Hey——, there are still nearly ten miles away."
"You come to the market alone?"
"Well, I'm the only one."
"What should we do at night? Hey, why are we so unlucky today? We caught a burden," Song Guide put down his legs, sat on the stool with his hands on his knees, and asked Yu Mei, "You didn't get any money from selling today?"
"No, I just didn't get any money from the sale, um——, um——," he cried while stroking his tears: "You are too bullying, bullying my little kid, why don't you take one of my jade pieces."
"Don't cry, don't cry. I'm not that refined, and I don't know how to use jade or stone tools. I can eat a roast chicken or a piece of pig head meat. This is really cumbersome. If I haven't paid the fine, I have to pay it back. Hey - —," Song Guide glared at the two followers beside him fiercely: "You two are so damn weak when it comes to doing things. If I don't ask, you two won't ask, either? You are such cowards." "Otherwise, you two will do it. She takes it home and releases it early tomorrow morning."
"This, this is not okay. If I take it home, my wife will not pluck my ears off, but she will also pull them up."
"I can't either..."
"Okay, I'll take him home," Song Guide said with an impatient look on his face.
There was nothing Yumei could do, it was already getting late, and she didn't have the guts to go home alone because she was afraid that her father would be worried at home. He could only follow Song Guide, seeing that this man wasn't too bad.
As soon as she opened the door and walked in, Yumei was pleasantly surprised. Isn't this the man who bought her jade jewelry?
"Dad——," Song Guide greeted the old man who opened the door.
"Grandpa——, why are you here too?"
"Hey——, this is the little girl selling jade items, come back quickly, come back quickly..."
"You two know each other?"
"Not just acquaintance, my good friend——, hahaha..." Seeing that the old man was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, he hurriedly took the bamboo basket and pulled Yumei into the house.
"Quickly, bring the food. Are you hungry? Hurry up and eat. Hurry up and eat."
Song Guide looked confused and scratched his head. Monk Zhang Er was confused.
The old man's name is Song Renli, a high-ranking official here who loves jade as much as his life and has been a hobby for most of his life.
Then, he turned around and yelled at Song Guide:
"You should do something serious and fool around all day long. How much money can such a little kid make in a day by setting up a street stall and selling some things? You arrest her and ask for money? This is called robbing the people."
"me……."
"Get out of here and crawl to eat."
Looking at the sumptuous meal on the table, Yumei was shocked. She had never seen such a scene before. She looked at Song Renli and then at the table full of dishes, wondering what to do. Song Renli hurriedly picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and handed it over. He smiled and said, "Eat - eat up. These are delicious. You're welcome. We will be good friends from now on."
It was the first time that Yumei heard that a little girl could make friends with an old man. She was surprised and felt friendly. She was really hungry, so she ate big and big, and her mouth was full of oil. .
Song Renli was extremely happy.
Feng Changshui waited around at home for Yumei to come back, so he became extremely anxious and went to the market to look for her.
