Zheng Bajin cooked the porridge, gave it to Qingqing who was lying down, and fed her a bowl.
Qingqing fell asleep with satisfaction, still thinking about what Zheng Bajin said before. Just this time, if it succeeds, she will be the Zheng family's wife in the true sense.
By this time, it was completely dark, and Zheng Bajin realized that he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back.
He scooped up a bowl of porridge and drank it, as if he hadn't drank anything. He drank three more bowls in a row to fill his stomach.
Seeing Qingqing sleeping soundly with a smile on her face, Zheng Bajin felt relieved. However, he still didn't dare to sleep. Instead, he stayed by her side and observed her.
There was no recurrence throughout the night, and there was no fever anymore. Zheng Bajin lay next to her and fell asleep.
After dawn, I woke up and saw Zheng Bajin still sleeping. I knew that he had worked very hard to take care of me all night last night.
Looking at myself again, I have recovered a lot of energy and am in a good mood. Thinking of everything yesterday, I still feel a little excited.
I got up and looked at how much porridge was gone in the pot. I knew it was Zheng Bajin who drank it. He hadn't eaten for a long time. He must have been too hungry at night.
Qingqing was distracted for a while, then decided to go out to buy some food and cook a meal for him.
I quietly went out, but found that I didn't know anything, not even where the vegetable market was.
A man in green clothes walked over from a distance. Qingqing hurriedly went up and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, brother, where does the vegetable market go from?"
The man glanced at Qingqing, a complicated expression flashed in his eyes, and stared at her face without answering.
Qingqing glared at him, planned to leave, and walked forward.
The man in Tsing Yi seemed to have just come back to his senses, and remembered that Qingqing was just asking for directions, so he chased after her and said: "Sister, you are going to the vegetable market, which is fifty meters ahead, in a small alley on the left. That’s it.”
Qingqing realized that this person was not a good person, so she didn't want to pay attention to him and walked straight ahead.
And the man in Tsing Yi kept following behind her, which made her feel a little panicked and regretful. She really shouldn't have gone out so early alone.
"Buy a watch!"
"Bang!"
A shout, accompanied by the sound of metal falling to the ground, startled Qingqing, who was in a panic and didn't know what was going on.
When they were forced to stop, they realized that there was a man standing in front of them, blocking the way. If they hadn't stopped quickly, they would have almost collided with each other.
"Miss, you broke my watch!" the man said unhappily.
Qingqing was frightened and saw a mechanical watch on the ground with broken glass.
"No, no, I didn't bump into you." Qingqing was at a loss, but she was sure that she didn't bump into the man in front of her.
There was a scar on this man's face, which was an inch or two long, and the left corner of his mouth was highlighted in a scary way.
Qingqing took a step back unconsciously. At this time, she realized that the street she was in had become a little narrow, and she walked into an alley without knowing it.
Seeing that no other pedestrians were passing by, I felt even more panicked.
"Humph, it wasn't you who hit it? It's because he fell to the ground." The scarred man in front of him was a little unhappy, and his voice became a little louder, which made people sound a little hairy.
"Yes, miss, if you damage other people's things, you will have to pay for it." The man in Tsing Yi behind said.
I was about to say, this is obviously because you didn’t hold it firmly and dropped it on the ground and broke it. However, Qingqing has understood that these two men are like dogs eating daddy-a (hot) group. No matter what they say, the other party will not care. He will let himself go easily, just because he wants to lose money.
The two of them didn't speak when they saw her, and they looked at her anxiously.
Qingqing glanced at the two of them, wondering what to do?
Looking at the street again, the shops on both sides were all closed.
Qingqing was afraid that the two would beat him, so he didn't dare to speak and just looked aggrieved.
"Forget it, she looks very pitiful. Brother, don't embarrass her. In my opinion, just let her spend some money with you." The man in green behind Qingqing suddenly became a peacemaker and sighed. .
"Hmph, this watch of mine is an authentic Shanghai watch, it's very valuable!" Scar said as he looked at Qingqing with a nonchalant expression.
"I really didn't hit it." Qingqing became anxious upon hearing this. Although she had never seen the legendary Shanghai watch, she had heard that it cost several hundred pieces.
In the past, in the village, when a man went to the woman's house to propose marriage, the betrothal gift would be "three turns and one ring", including a mechanical watch.
An ordinary mechanical watch costs dozens of yuan, but very few people can afford to buy a Shanghai mechanical watch, which is said to cost four to five hundred yuan.
She didn't break the watch by herself, so she insisted on paying a few hundred yuan. Naturally, Qingqing was unwilling to do so, and she didn't have that much money on her.
If he takes them back to find Zheng Bajin, with his temper, he will definitely start a fight with these two people. By then, I'm really afraid that the situation will get out of hand.
This place was no better than the countryside, and she was afraid that Zheng Bajin would suffer as she was unfamiliar with the place.
"Huh, little girl, it's not kind of you to say that. It was obviously you who hit me and made it fall to the ground. How can you be so shameless?" The scarred man looked at Qingqing and took two steps forward. , looked angry and was about to take action.
Qingqing was so frightened that she backed away and found someone behind her. She hurriedly turned around and retreated to the street.
"Yes, little girl, you have to be kind. If you damage other people's things, you have to pay for it. You can't cheat." The man in green also joined in.
"I, I really didn't..." As soon as Qingqing retreated, the other party followed her again and blocked her in front of the door of the wooden house.
Qingqing, who had no choice but to retreat, was trembling with fear. Knowing that she couldn't leave without paying, she hurriedly said: "Then tell me, how much does it cost?"
"Five hundred yuan! This is the watch I just bought." Scar said proudly.
"No, I don't have that much money." Qingqing took a look and saw two people walking on the street. She felt happy, thinking that the other party would give her some fair words.
Unexpectedly, two passers-by, seeing the dispute started here, suddenly stopped and stopped stepping forward, just watching from a distance.
Qingqing was a little disappointed. Looking at those two people, they should be different from Scar and Scar. Why are they so unjust?
"Brother, listen to me. This little girl didn't do it on purpose. So don't ask for five hundred yuan. Just think of it as half for each of us. By the way, little girl, tell me, what's on your body?" How much money do you have?"
"I, I only have ten yuan. I just go out to buy groceries. I can't bring too much money." Qingqing was about to cry but didn't know that for ten yuan, others would not agree to it.
"Forget it, just follow my turn. Give this big brother the ten dollars you have and give him some more tomorrow." The man in Tsing Yi said, winking at Qingqing.
Seeing that Qingqing didn't understand what he meant, she came closer.
Qingqing shrank in fear.
Scar looked at it coldly and cursed: "Ten yuan to send a beggar away?"
The man in Tsing Yi whispered to Qingqing: "This man is very vicious. You'd better agree and give him money to escape quickly, otherwise you will regret it."
Qingqing also wanted to leave as soon as possible, fearing that the two men would hurt her, so she hurriedly took out ten dollars and handed it to Scar.
Scar took it and suddenly said coldly: "Huh, I don't believe it. You don't have any money on you?"
"It's really gone." Qingqing said helplessly.
"If you don't believe me, let me search you." He said that he really wanted to search him.
Qingqing was so frightened that she screamed: "Don't touch me!"
This time, the two of them were stunned.
As a woman, she would definitely not be happy to be searched, and she would be frightened into taking out the money obediently, but she wouldn't have such a big reaction and dare to scream loudly?
However, Dao Scar had seen many people in the north gate area, so he was bold enough to really reach out to Qing Qing.
"No." Qingqing yelled, holding her hands in front of her chest, her legs suddenly became weak, and she sat down.
"Stop!" At this moment, a loud shout came out.
