He is not afraid of those street thugs and beggars.

However, he was repeatedly humiliated by Jiang Rao and the Jiang family. Although Yang Xiuzhu accepted his fate, he still felt angry in his heart.

These street beggars are like stinky rats that are hard to catch. If you ruin their deeds, you will inevitably be harassed for a while and have no peace.

There is no need to do something that is worthless and will only harm yourself.

What's more...these beggars would be here...

He asked his servant to find someone to hint to these beggars that the Jiang family would only stay for a while and then leave. They should kidnap their young master and hide for a while. Then they could come back after the Jiang family left, and they would not be held accountable for anything.

But he just hinted that these beggars appeared here not because of their greed, but because they were neither bribed nor forced!

If the people from the Jiang family dared to come and question him later, he would not dare to offend them. But he could say that Jiang Jinxing had misjudged the person, and then find a few servants to say that he was not in the west of the city but at home at that time, so that they would not be able to hold him responsible for anything.

Hearing the slightly panicked and sad "Brother Yang" behind him, Yang Xiuzhu couldn't help but smile. He felt inexplicably happy in his heart.

The anger of the Jiang family who had been repeatedly trying to extort money from them was finally relieved a little.

He left here without mercy.

Hope was shattered on Jiang Jinxing's round face.

In his seven-year-old head, he couldn't figure out why the big brother who treated him like his own brother a few days ago, bought him candies that his parents didn't let him eat, and took him everywhere to play, suddenly became so cold and heartless.

He clearly did everything he was asked to help with, but he gave him half of his favorite candy in return.

When the beggars saw Yang Xiuzhu walking away without looking back, they were stunned for a moment, and then the crowd burst into laughter.

"I thought this little guy knew Young Master Yang, but it turns out they don't have much of a relationship."

"have!"

Jiang Jinxing roared.

He couldn't stand others questioning his abilities, and he couldn't stand others questioning his side even more.

But Yang Xiuzhu left without looking back, and he saw it with his own eyes.

But he was somewhat reluctant to admit it, crying quietly, "He didn't see me."

The beggar leader didn't care what he was saying. He asked two people to grab Jiang Jinxing's arms and control him, while he himself pulled the bracelet on his wrist.

The little fat boy's hands were too fat, and the bracelet stuck to his chubby little arms that were as round as fat lotus roots. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't take it off.

The beggar cursed: "Damn it!"

Originally, when we say he is a fat bird, we mean that there is plenty of money to be made from him.

But this fat bird is really too fat.

He is round and fat, and it doesn't feel out of place to paint New Year pictures based on his face.

He was extremely anxious, and he looked up and said angrily, "Blind, Yang has been standing there for a long time, he must have seen it a long time ago. Even if he didn't see it, you are yelling like a crow, and he can hear it even if he is deaf."

Jiang Jinxing's wrist was red and painful, and he cried tears of shame and anger, sobbing even louder.

Everyone saw Yang Xiuzhu looking at him.

Then why didn't he come to rescue him!

The anger of being betrayed and the fear of the dirty and vicious beggars in front of him made him cry and tremble uncontrollably.

As his chin trembled, a faint golden shadow flickered between the collar of the small gown he was wearing.

The beggar leader's eyes lit up, he ripped open his collar and pulled off the longevity lock with a tiger pattern on it from around his neck.

The clear light made him dizzy.

This longevity lock is obviously made of fine gold and must be valuable.

If you exchange it for money, you won’t have to worry about food and clothing for the whole year.

The beggar leader was delighted. "Search carefully again. Before his family members come to exchange, quickly find some valuables from him."

Suddenly, a younger brother said, "Brother, there is a person over there."

The beggar leader immediately became alert, but when he saw the figure opposite him, he relaxed his vigilance and sneered, "He's just a cripple, why do you care about him? He can't do anything to us."

Jiang Jinxing looked towards the east with tears in his eyes.

When he saw Rong Ting sitting in a wheelchair holding a bundle of firewood, he felt hopeless. There is no hope at all.

Let’s not talk about the fact that he had fought and quarreled with him.

How could a man in a wheelchair possibly defeat so many beggars surrounding him?

Sure enough, Rong Ting just gave him a cold look and then left.

Jiang Jinxing was shaking, feeling isolated and helpless, with tears streaming down his face in despair.

At this time, the beggar leader raised the longevity lock in his hand and looked at it carefully with a greedy look.

It is indeed a wealthy family. The color of gold is so beautiful!

“Swoosh—”

The long arrow cut through the air and rushed towards the beggar leader, passing by the beggar leader's ear.

The small hole where the red rope was originally tied to the longevity lock was hit, and the longevity lock flew out for dozens of feet and was directly nailed to the wall.

The beggar leader holds the long life

Suo's hands became empty, grabbing a handful of air, and tensed stiffly.

The scary thing was that the arrow just now grazed his cheek and even shot off a few strands of hair. A few short strands of black hair slowly fell to his feet.

The beggar leader shuddered.

Look at the longevity lock nailed to the wall.

The accuracy of this archery technique is almost terrifying.

The legendary ability to shoot an arrow through a target from a hundred paces away might just be this good.

He couldn't help feeling frightened and turned back with a pale face, only to see the disabled man in the wheelchair coming back.

But there is an extra bow in his hand. Crossbow and arrows.

It turned out to be him.

The beggar leader was irritated by his indifferent expression.

This short-sighted guy ruined his business. If he doesn't deal with him and others tell others about him, how will he save his reputation as the big brother?

He frowned and clenched his fists. The muscles in his arms flexed, and his clenched fists had accumulated all his strength. Rong Ting's movements seemed neither fast nor slow, but he soon put another arrow on the bow.

This time, unlike last time, he did not raise his arms high.

Instead, he lowered his arms slightly.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of his brow again.

Cynical, arrogant and naughty.

The beggar leader looked down in the direction his arrow was aimed.

The fist that had been gathering strength to punch forward suddenly loosened, and he immediately covered his pants with his hands. crotch.

Where is he, he, he aiming at!

He staggered to the side, his body shaking uncontrollably.

I cursed in my heart: What a cruel boy!

It's extremely poisonous.

Cutting off a man's vital organs is even more cruel than taking his life.

At this moment, Rong Ting put down the arrow in his hand.

He said calmly: "If you have anything to say, come and discuss it with me. Don't bully children. Otherwise--"

His gaze passed from the beggar leader to the back of his hand covering his crotch.

His eyebrows were slightly raised, full of provocation.

This mocking look made the beggar leader so angry that his teeth chattered, but he did not dare to move forward easily.

But one of the younger brothers was furious, "Brother, this cripple is too arrogant. Don't let him go! Give him a good beating before he ruins our plans! If you don't come, what's the point of keeping your face here!"

The beggar leader trembled all over, his face was not as valuable as his life.

"hurry up."

Rong Ting estimated the time when the Jiang family's visitor would arrive, and his tone became more impatient.

"Come with me, more people." There is courage in numbers. The beggar leader called a few more people before he walked in front of Rong Ting. Seeing that Rong Ting did not pick up the bow and arrow in his hand this time, he felt more reassured and bold.

Things like bows and arrows are only effective when they are at least a dozen steps away. Face to face with each other like this, he couldn't even pull the bow to its full length.

He felt relieved for his life.

These street thugs have always been bullies, and when they felt that Rong Ting was no longer a threat to them, they became more arrogant and their fists hardened.

The Jiang family arrived here at this time.

Those younger brothers who followed behind the leader, waiting to see the big brother teach others a lesson, suddenly scattered.

Jiang Jinxing was held in the arms of Jiang Qinshi who came running over. He cried and hiccuped, calling "Mom" continuously.

Jiang Rao felt relieved to see that her brother was just frightened and not injured anywhere.

But just as she saw the fierce beggar about to punch Rong Ting, she was not at all worried about him, so she ran over to him and asked, "How did you get involved in this?"

Jiang Jinxing hiccuped and said in Jiang Qinshi's arms, "Mother, it was this brother who saved me."

"He was almost beaten." Although Jiang Jinxing didn't know why Rong Ting suddenly put down the arrow in his hand, he only remembered the dangerous situation that Rong Ting almost got beaten.

He sniffed, looked at his longevity lock on the wall, and stretched out his little fleshy finger to show Jiang Qinshi and Jiang Siye, "Those beggars are trying to steal my things."

He was young, and his expression of things was not clear and jumbled. He had to repeat it several times before Jiang Qinshi and Jiang Siye understood what had happened.

He also found out that Yang Xiuzhu had abandoned him.

Jiang Qinshi felt sorry for her son crying like this.

Teaching him how to judge people will never be as impressive as letting him suffer a loss himself.

She patted his back gently, her movements were gentle, but her eyes showed a maternal determination, "The Yang family, you don't have to associate with them anymore."

Fourth Master Jiang nodded, "There is no need to continue the business that Master Yang wanted to do with us a few days ago."

Thinking of Rong Ting, Jiang Qinshi's tone softened a lot, and she said to Jiang Siye, "Master, go and thank the child."

Fourth Master Jiang looked unwilling.

As his daughter's father, he didn't want to see the kid from Chengxi at all.

But as his son's father, he really had to go and thank the kid from Chengxi.

Caught in a dilemma.

He hesitated, then thought of something and said, "I will definitely thank you. But before I do, I have something to tell you. Do you know what I found out when I asked someone to find out about his family background?"

"What?"

"I haven't found out anything." Fourth Master Jiang frowned. "No one here knows who he is. I'm afraid his family doesn't want to acknowledge him. Either he is the child his father secretly gave birth to without the knowledge of his wife or his concubine. Or this child has a flawed character and his family doesn't want to acknowledge him."

Fourth Master Jiang said, "I wanted to wait a few days and talk to Niannian about this. I wanted her to have less contact with him. I even thought about giving him some money to treat his leg so that Niannian wouldn't have to worry about him every day. But today..."

Jiang Qinshi obviously didn't expect him to say this, and her heart skipped a beat, "Maybe what you said is not true... If he wasn't a good kid, would he have saved our Jinxing?"

Jiang Jinxing also poked his head out from Jiang Qinshi's arms, "Daddy, you're talking nonsense! He's a good man."

Fourth Master Jiang smiled bitterly.

He was grateful to the boy for saving his son, but that didn't dispel his doubts. He originally wanted to tell his wife that it would be even more difficult to persuade his daughter to leave after what happened today. But who knew that his wife and son would also side with the boy because of this incident.

He shook his head, sighed helplessly and said, "I'll go and thank them first."

After a while, he came back and said, "The child seems to be injured. I asked someone to call a doctor. I am worried about him, so I will stay here and watch him. I will go back later."

The little fat boy who was crying in Jiang Qin's arms got down to the ground and said, "I want to watch here too, and then go back later."

Jiang Qinshi watched Jiang Jinxing running very fast, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, what happened today didn't scare him too much. It was all thanks to that child."

Fourth Master Jiang stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

"Are you worried about the child's background?" Jiang Qin said softly, "Those things you worry about may make some sense, but they may not be true. Don't think too much. I think the child is a good one."

"You think it's good if she's good-looking." Fourth Master Jiang shook his head, "But I'm not worried about that."

He narrowed his eyes.

Today was the first time he saw with his own eyes this brat from the west of the city who had made him angry for a long time.

He just felt that the child looked slightly familiar.

I tried to think carefully whether this was the child of an old friend in Jinling, but I couldn't remember no matter how hard I tried.

I have been away from Jinling for so long that I can’t even remember what some people look like.

It's time to go back.

…

Jiang Jinxing stepped over the threshold with his tiger-toe shoes and took unsteady steps to run in front of Rong Ting and Jiang Rao.

Jiang Rao was moving a stool, trying to help Rong Ting get down from the wheelchair so that he could lie on his side on the bed to be more comfortable. Seeing Jiang Jinxing coming, she ordered him to move the stool.

Jiang Jinxing had just been frightened today and suddenly became much more obedient. He did whatever his sister asked him to do obediently.

It was just a pair of eyes secretly looking at Rong Ting's bow. Crossbow and bamboo arrows.

He was so frightened just now that he was still confused when he saw the arrow shooting towards him.

But now thinking back to the scene just now, Jiang Jinxing felt envious.

He had just reached the age to learn horse riding and archery, but the master in the mansion only taught him methods according to picture books and rarely showed him how to actually shoot arrows.

That master had never been so accurate in his archery.

Jiang Rao supported Rong Ting's arm and helped him to the couch. Jiang Jinxing followed beside him, looking at Rong Ting and asking questions non-stop, "You are injured, right? But I didn't see them hit you just now. Did they use hidden weapons?"

Rong Ting's left hand, which seemed to be drooping limply due to weakness, suddenly tensed up.

He glanced at Jiang Jinxing with sharp eyes.

Jiang Jinxing didn't know what he had said wrong, he just knew that he seemed to have made him unhappy, so he stopped talking.

Rong Ting then calmly turned his body towards Jiang Rao.

All the way to the bed, Jiang Rao helped Rong Ting sit down, and then said to Jiang Jinxing: "If it wasn't for saving you, he was injured when he used the bow and arrow."

"A weak person cannot fully draw a bow. If you are weak, you may be knocked to the ground by the rebound force of the arrow when you use the bow. He was injured because of this. Come here, thank you brother."

Jiang Jinxing lowered his head, with some guilt in his eyes. He walked up to Rong Ting and said to him, "Thank you, brother."

Now he looks so well-behaved, which is hard to find in the little bully of the Jiang family.

Jiang Rao rubbed Jiang Jinxing's head and said, "I'll go get some water with Mingshao. Jinxing, you stay with us and save your brother first."

After she left, Jiang Jinxing stood obediently in front of the bed. After a while of silence, he mustered up some courage and asked Rong Ting, "Excuse me, how did you practice your archery skills?"

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that after his sister went out, the look in this older brother's eyes became a little cold.

Before, he felt that he was being mean to him, and now he felt that he was being mean to him.

But it was this vicious person who saved him at the most critical moment...

He was afraid, so his words were special.

polite.

Rong Ting glanced at his head indifferently.

Thinking about the way Jiang Rao rubbed his head just now, he felt unhappy. He couldn't pretend to be kind. He was full of thorns and said coldly, "Practice more."

He added calmly, "Don't always cling to your sister, practice more."

Jiang Jinxing nodded heavily.

Learned it.

Rong Ting glanced at him again, "I don't accept your thanks just now."

Jiang Jinxing was struck by lightning.

"Go thank your sister," he said. "You are her brother, so I saved you."

…

After a while, Jiang Rao came back and boiled a pot of hot water for Rong Ting, thinking that the doctor would come to see her later. If he prescribed any medicine, it would be convenient to boil the medicine with hot water.

Rong Ting's eyes were locked on her.

Just by looking at her, the uncontrollable irritability in his heart sank.

Jiang Jinxing slowly moved to Jiang Rao's side, "Thank you, sister."

Jiang Rao was confused, "Thank me?"

Jiang Jinxing nodded seriously.

Jiang Rao could never resist the obedient look of a child. She hugged him and rubbed his chubby face, "Then Sister knows."

Rong Ting's face darkened.

I shouldn’t have taught you if I had known this.

Jiang Jinxing glanced around and saw that there was no one else living in the room, so he quietly asked Jiang Rao, "Sister, is he the only one living here? Is there no one else here?"

Jiang Rao nodded. Seeing this, Jiang Jinxing's eyes lit up. "Then can we take him home and make him my brother?"
