Sima Shaoyu: ...This piece of jade is Putian jade, which is very valuable! How dare these people despise it?

According to that girl's personality, it must be...

A soft voice sounded, "Then we'll pay for his medical bill first. Could you possibly let him stay the night? His injuries are so severe that it's probably inconvenient for him to move. There's a high probability of accidents tonight. Please let him stay for one night. I'll pay extra for his accommodation."

Sima Shaoyu looked at Li Nian in surprise. He didn't expect that this girl would actually help him. It was beyond his expectation.

"Okay," the doctor nodded and settled the medical fees, medicine costs and accommodation fees with Li Nian.

After paying, Li Nian called Li Sisi: "Okay, let's go."

Li Sisi greeted Sima Shaoyu and said, "Then you can rest here for tonight. I'll be leaving first."

When I came out of the pharmacy, it was already completely dark and groups of people were gathered in groups of three or two on the street.

Because the two of them had no identification documents, they could not stay in a formal large inn, so they could only find a simple small inn.

At this time, only restaurants, gambling houses and brothels are the most lively, especially the street facing the brothels, which is brightly lit, fragrant, and the sweet and flirtatious sounds of young girls.

On the way, they asked the driver and found out there were two small inns on the west street, so the two best friends went straight to West Street.

The further west you go, the simpler and older the houses become, forming a sharp contrast with the bustling streets to the east.

Occasionally, there were two shops open, with bright lights on inside, and the sound of men talking loudly accompanied by the aroma of wine wafting out of the shops.

Li Sisi took a glance and guessed that it should be a shop selling wine. Usually the owner of this shop brews and sells the wine himself, and the customers are usually middle and lower class people.

It is also available in the capital, and the price ranges from a few coins to dozens of coins per pound.

The night was getting darker and darker, and a few stars were already appearing around the moon.

The two best friends didn't dare to stay in such a place for too long, as it would be troublesome if they ran into a drunkard.

Two drunks came out of the liquor store.

"Hey, two girls!!"

Li Sisi narrowed her eyes slightly.

The sudden voice, excited and obscene, with a bit of drunkenness, seemed to be shouted at the two of them?

The two drunkards were short, wearing light grey coarse cloth gowns, and walked towards them with unsteady steps.

Li Nian took Li Sisi's hand and said, "Let's go quickly."

"Girl, don't go!" one of the drunks shouted again.

The two best friends walked very fast hand in hand, almost jogging.

"You're not going home late at night, you're just hanging around outside, waiting to be picked up by a man. Why are you pretending to be a proper girl?"

"That's right, you two girls and us two guys, wouldn't that make a perfect pair of mandarin ducks? Hey, let me play with you guys!"

Li Sisi was being dragged along by Li Nian. Upon hearing what those two men said, she turned back angrily, only to see those two drunks actually catching up with them?!

And that person who walks fast and speaks clearly...

"Bang!" One of them fell in a dog-eating-shit position.

He got up and cursed: "Stop right there, you bitch!!"

She looked around and saw a small alley. She whispered, "Niannian, how about I drag those two into the alley and beat them up?"

Li Nian pulled her along and said, "Don't be impulsive. There are people like the chivalrous knights in this world who know martial arts. If these two have learned martial arts, you will definitely not be able to defeat them."

Li Sisi stopped thinking after hearing that. Her skills might be enough to fight off a few thugs in modern times, but if she really met someone who knew kung fu, she would definitely not be his match.

In a panic, the two best friends ran to the bank of the West River. There was a row of houses built along the river. Two of them had lights on and lanterns hanging on the doors with the word "Inn" written on them.

Li Sisi was the first to see it, her eyes lit up: "There's an inn on the left, follow me!"

Li Sisi pulled Li Nian and turned sharply to the left.

“Plop!”

One of the men following behind them was about to rush over to catch them, but he didn't expect them to suddenly turn left. Due to inertia, he was unable to stop and fell into the river.

"Brother Zheng, there's something happening ahead!" A male voice sounded from the left side of the river bank.

At this time, another drunk man stood by the river, cursing: "What are you running for, you bitch? Huh? If anything happens to my brother, I won't forgive you!"

Li Sisi said angrily: "We are just walking, why are you chasing us?"

"Besides, he fell into the river because he didn't stand firmly. What does it have to do with us?" As she said that, Li Sisi was about to pull Li Nian away.

When they turned left, they saw two constables in official uniforms walking towards them hurriedly with swords in their hands.

The two best friends were startled.

It's over. They don't have any identification documents. Regardless of whether they are right or not, this alone is enough to cause trouble.

"What's going on?" The tall constable with a tough face frowned, and at first glance he looked like the kind of serious guy who was not to be messed with.

Li Sisi hurriedly said, "Brother officer, my sister and I were walking along the road just fine when these two suddenly came running over and chased us, insulting us."

"Why are you talking nonsense, girl?" The man on the shore glared at Li Sisi. "We two brothers are just kindly reminding you. It's dark out here, and you two girls are wandering around outside. Who knows what might happen. We want to protect you!"

Li Sisi angrily said, "Don't be so shameless here. It's obviously you who are drunk and acting wild. We sisters are walking honestly. We didn't provoke you. Do we need you to send us off?"

"Honest? Humph, you're not staying at home at this time, but wandering around outside. How can you be a good person? Bah!"

Li Sisi looked at the tall constable and said, "Brother constable, those two were chasing us the whole time. They didn't catch us when they turned the corner and fell into the river on their own. It has nothing to do with us."

Li Nian stepped forward, grabbed the tall official's hand, and stuffed a silver ingot into his hand. He said softly, "My sister and I just came back from Baishantang Pharmacy. If you don't believe me, I can go to Baishantang with you to confirm it."

She let go, took two steps back, and put some distance between them. She continued to explain, "These two guys were obviously drunk, and my sister and I didn't know them. We were so scared that we ran all the way. We didn't expect them to chase us all the way."

At this time, the man who fell into the river climbed ashore, his whole body wet, staring at them with anger and ferocity on his face.

When he saw the tall constable, he was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head guiltily.

The tall constable saw the man's face clearly and his expression suddenly became even worse. He walked towards him with his long legs.

"Sister, brother-in-law..."

The tall constable's face was frighteningly cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Is this what you said, that we would meet friends through literature tonight?"
