After discerning the pros and cons, Gao Kan was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered Tian Mi.
"Go and ask Master Lu to go out of the city with you. You will stay at the blacksmith shop today, and you must keep him safe!"
"Why did the young master say this? Could there be someone who would be unfavorable to him?" Tian Mi looked confused and asked.
Gao Kan said: "I'm worried that those rogues won't give up and come to trouble him again. What's more, this matter may not be simple. In short, it is right to be cautious."
"Young man understands, let's go and invite Master Lu." Tian Mi knew so well that he didn't say much and hurriedly went out.
Lu Zhishen was a person who hated evil, so he just asked Tian Mi to tell him the reason for the incident, and he would leave the city with him without hesitation.
As for the others, they are not busy and there is no need to rush.
Gao Kan was still more cautious, carrying several large boxes of looted gold and silver. He was always afraid that there would be someone with ulterior motives secretly spying on them if they saw something wrong.
Here Tian Mi found Lu Zhishen and explained the whole story.
After Lu Zhishen heard this, he was immediately furious and took Tian Mi away from the city.
Fortunately, Tian Mi tried his best to persuade her, so she controlled her temper and asked a few more people to help before setting off.
The group of people left Nanle City and went to the blacksmith shop.
When I was about to go outside the shop, I saw a thin young man cleaning things from a distance. I could still vaguely see the mess on the ground, which seemed to have been deliberately damaged.
When everyone came over, the young man heard the voice and turned to look.
Tian Mi was overjoyed at first when he saw the leader, and then he saw Lu Zhishen who was following him. Seeing that he looked like a tiger and had a ferocious face, he couldn't help feeling a little timid.
"My benefactor, why are you here again? Didn't you say you were going back to the city to report? Come back tomorrow?"
Tian Mi saw the young man's expression flickering and knew that he was afraid of Lu Zhishen, so he laughed and said, "Brother Tan, don't be afraid. This is Master Lu, commonly known as Lu Da. He is a well-known hero and will not harm you."
Lu Zhishen also said: "Little baby, I heard that someone is bullying you, so I came here to seek justice for you."
Young Brother Tan didn't know what he meant and asked: "Why did my benefactor say this? Didn't those scoundrels just accept the money and give up?"
"Brother Tan, you are young and kind-hearted. You don't know how powerful people's hearts are. When I went back and told the master about you, he was worried that the rogues would not give up, so he asked us to come and guard him in case they come again. , it would be nice to have a helper." Tian Mi said.
"Don't be afraid, we will stay here. If nothing happens tonight, it will be best. My young master will come tomorrow. If something happens, just find a place to hide."
"Then, thank you benefactor." Brother Tan pursed his lips and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"My benefactors, come and sit at home."
After talking, he invited a few people into the back of the shop, passed through the main hall and back room, and there was a courtyard.
Everyone sat down, and Lu Zhishen stared at himself all the way.
I saw that although Brother Tan's house was spacious and huge in front and back, there was a sense of defeat everywhere.
I tried my best to look around the house, but I couldn't see one or two valuable things. Even though the house was bare, it was no different. The man who worked in the blacksmith's shop couldn't even see any iron tools.
Brother Tan led everyone into the backyard to sit down, then turned around and went to the front again.
After a while, he came back carrying a copper pot and a clay bowl.
Putting the bowl in front of everyone, Nian blushed and said: "I'm really sorry, I don't even have a handful of broken tea leaves at home, so all my benefactors can only drink saliva."
"Ha, Sajia is on his way and is thirsty. There is water just in time. He wants some broken tea, but it tastes bitter." Lu Zhishen said with a heroic smile.
Brother Tan didn't say anything, he lowered his head and poured water for him.
Tian Mi saw this from the side and said: "Brother Tan, please stop being busy and sit down together to talk so that those injured by the ruthless people are still hurting?"
"I don't want to let my benefactor bother, I'll be fine." Brother Tan said.
However, although there were no scars on his face, there were obvious inconveniences in his movements. His left foot seemed to be lame, and his brows could not help but wrinkle when he bent down to lift the pot, as if he was in pain.
He is just a young boy, but he is beaten up. How can it be so easy?
After only a short while, sweat started to break out on his forehead.
When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but feel heartbroken, and they felt even more hateful towards that group of naughty and lazy people.
I was just drinking a bowl of water when I suddenly heard a young and anxious female voice outside.
"Brother, brother, where are you? Are those bad guys here again? Brother, are you okay?"
Then he saw a girl wearing an old linen shirt and covered in mud rushing in from outside.
Hearing the sound, Brother Tan quickly stood up and went over to greet him: "I'm fine. Are you back?"
When the girl saw her brother, she finally felt relieved and said: "Brother, it's okay. You have to praise me. I caught so many small fish and shrimps in the river today that I can cook a big pot!"
Seeing that her brother was fine, the girl was happy and had a look of pride on her face.
"Okay, okay, my sister is the best behaved." Brother Tan said fondly, stroking the girl's head.
The first brother and sister spoke, but no one in Tian Mi spoke.
After they finished speaking, Tian Mi said first: "Brother Tan, is this your sister?"
Only then did the girl see everyone, and a look of suspicion appeared on her face.
Brother Tan also explained: "Let my benefactor know that this is my younger sister Tan Hua'er, and she is also a miserable person."
He seemed to be hiding something in his words, not speaking directly.
Tian Mi recognized the expression on his face and said without asking in detail: "I see, Miss Hua'er, I heard that you caught so many fish and shrimps that you can cook a big pot. Can we share a bite?"
"Who are you? Why does my brother call you my benefactor?" Although Tan Hua'er is still a young girl, she is not afraid of anyone at all. She takes a step forward and blocks in front of Brother Tan and asks.
"Hua'er, don't make trouble, these are the benefactors who saved us." Brother Tan said after hearing this.
Tian Mi was not annoyed, and smiled and said: "It's okay, Miss Hua'er, we are businessmen from Bianjing. When passing by here, we saw some bad people bullying your brother, so we drove the bad people away."
"Really? Then I can catch fish and shrimps for you to eat." Tan Hua'er said innocently.
Seeing her being so innocent, everyone couldn't help but be amused.
Turning around, Tian Mi took out a few taels of silver from his pocket, handed it to his entourage and said, "Take the money and go buy some food, drinks, and some rice, flour, oil, and salt. Go ahead."
He took the money and went out.
There were only a few people left talking and joking in the yard. Tan Hua'er was a diligent girl. After confirming that her brother was fine, she took the initiative to clean up the kitchen and cook the fish and shrimp she had finally caught.
When the entourage came back with large and small bags, the rice, flour, oil and salt were handed over to the kitchen, and the wine and meat were taken to the backyard.
As soon as people ate meat and drank wine, the sky darkened.
