Lin Xi was stunned when she was asked. She didn't expect that the seemingly weak and handsome man below would turn around and ask her this question, but how could she deal with this rogue?
Beat gongs and drums to tell the neighbors to expel him from the village? Does she still want her reputation? She will still survive here in the future.
Send him to the official? For what reason? That this scoundrel broke open her courtyard door in the middle of the night and wanted to break in and molest her?
If this reputation spreads, how will she behave in the future? Even if she doesn't get married, she doesn't care, but people's words are scary, and her younger siblings will inevitably not be criticized by others in the future.
The ancients valued reputation as much as life, so she could only be cautious in her words and deeds.
She is a little girl with no relatives, no parents or elders at home, no one to make decisions and support her. If Liu San is not caught in jail, what will he do if he comes out to retaliate against her in the future?
Lin Xi was also undecided for a moment and didn't know what to do.
That's why she was stopped and teased by Liu San time and time again, but she could only deal with it secretly and give this scoundrel a hard time.
With her current frail body, she cannot completely deal with this person for the time being.
After pondering for a while, she thought about it and said to the two people below:
"To be honest with you two nobles, this scoundrel bullied me since my parents are dead and there is no one to make decisions for me, so he harassed me again and again. He came to knock on the door in the middle of the night not just once or twice."
"I was lucky enough to deal with him the first two times, but recently this scoundrel has become more and more arrogant. I took my younger siblings to hide elsewhere for a few days, but I can't hide in other people's houses forever. No, I just came back this evening. , this guy is here again tonight.”
As he spoke, he squeezed out a few tears and continued pitifully:
"He just made a bet that I wouldn't dare to take action, because our girl's family was afraid of getting a bad reputation, and we had no father or mother to make the decision, so..."
"So, how do you want to deal with it?" The man in brocade raised his lips and continued to ask unhurriedly.
This little girl looks to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, but from the conversation just now, it can be seen that she is a little clever, and she was able to provoke this rogue to reveal her weakness in just a few words.
At the same time, he also conveyed some information to them and revealed his own situation to them, gaining sympathy with his weak attitude. This little thought was quite impressive.
Lin Xi begged: "Can you please help me, two noble men? I'll tell you that this rogue climbed up the wall late at night to steal your things, but you guys found him and caught him."
"Then I'll trouble you to give this scoundrel a good beating and send him to the magistrate, so that the county magistrate can lock him up so that he won't dare to harass me again."
"I am a girl, and I have not been betrothed to anyone yet. If a scoundrel breaks in at the door in the middle of the night, if word spreads about it, I'm afraid..." After saying this, he didn't forget to wipe away his tears.
"It's not impossible." The man looked at her with a half-smile, then said, "I can help you, but how are you going to repay her?"
"Ah this? Do you still want to repay me?"
Lin Xi was a little stunned. If it were a normal and just person, shouldn't he be able to defeat the strong and help the weak and act bravely when he sees justice? What's more, the person he met was a weak and helpless little girl like her.
The young man glanced at his master and sighed secretly. He wondered if he was woken up in the middle of the night and was in a bad mood. His mischief started again. I wonder if the girl above could tell that his master was playing tricks on her. ?
"Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch, is that true or not, girl?"
"Uh~Okay" Lin Xi was speechless.
He looked good-looking, but he looked like a sick man and not like a gentleman, so he said with some embarrassment:
"But my family is very poor, and I have nothing to give to you. Maybe you, you, have a look. Is there anything I have that you might like?"
The man looked Lin Xi up and down carefully, then shook his head and said to himself: "There is really nothing you can give me. If you want to give me your life, it's not necessarily very good-looking."
"Huh?!" Are you sure this person is not in the same group as that rogue? Lin Xi almost fell down, she wanted to spit out her mouth.
"Well, you have such a figure..." Before his master could finish speaking, the young man quickly interrupted his master: "Master, how about I tie up this scoundrel and lock him up in the woodshed, and then send him to him tomorrow morning? yamen?"
The noble and dignified Uncle Guo, with this frail posture, coupled with this teasing behavior, and furthermore, he is just a playboy teasing other girls, and this is teasing in the middle of the night. No matter how you look at it, it is not pleasing to the eyes.
It's not good for you to be in a bad mood. Don't take out your anger on other girls, otherwise you will definitely become like this rogue.
Gu Huaibang glanced displeased at the useless little follower who had made him go to bed hungry without being able to eat for several days. He was very dissatisfied.
Without waiting for his master's instructions, Gu Qi picked up the man with one hand and walked to the woodshed.
Lin Xi was still racking her brains to think of what benefits she could get in exchange for this weak and handsome man who didn't look like a gentleman. Then she saw the young man in black clothes effortlessly carrying Liu San with one hand, like a little lamb. Throwing it into the woodshed, his mouth suddenly opened wide.
It's amazing. No wonder Liu San can be stepped on like an ant. With his skills, you can tell that he is a martial arts practitioner who is hiding his secrets.
Lin Xichuan has been here for half a year. This is the first time she has seen someone who knows real kung fu. She can't help but admire her. It seems that she needs to fawn over her. Maybe these two can really help her completely solve Liu San's scourge.
Before she could recover from the shock, Gu Huaiban stood awkwardly in the cold wind of the night, holding his growling stomach.
He quickly clenched his fists and pretended to cough a few times. Gu Huaibian's pale face was a little uneasy. Sure enough, he had been idle for a long time. He couldn't bear the hunger anymore and had no future.
Not understanding Gu Huaiban's secret slander, Lin Xi heard the series of loud grunting sounds of hunger and suddenly had an idea and said to Gu Huaiban:
"I know how to cook food. How about I cook food for these two noble ladies and you two can help me?"
Gu Huaipan, who was so embarrassed that he wanted to go back to the house, stopped, turned his head and slowly looked at the girl with a bright smile on the wall, and asked doubtfully: "You can cook food?"
"Yes, I don't know anything else, and I can't do anything with needlework, but I can definitely cook food. What do you think of this exchange?"
Before Gu Huaibang could tell her that he was just joking and didn't need to be taken seriously, her stomach protested again, and Gululu made another long series of noises.
Uncle Gu Guo, who was quite speechless, had a blushing face. He bent over and coughed several times to cover up the embarrassing screams. He was out of breath and called to his little follower: "Come and help me, master!" "
Gu Qi, who hadn't tied him up yet, rolled his eyes and could only run out to support his frail uncle.
When his stomach stopped growling, Gu Huaiban panted and leaned on his little follower and said quietly: "I think it's okay, then you can make something to eat now!"
"Ah?" Lin Xi asked suspiciously: "Now?" Looking at the night, the cold wind was whistling, and the darkness was heavy. It was almost midnight. Which family had a fire to cook in the middle of the night?
"No? Then forget it"
