9. Chapter 9 Take Away

Not only Pei Xiu Han heard what the drunk man said, but others also heard it. A young man next to him had a flash of disgust on his face and cursed him in a low voice, "You beast."

These guys are street thugs and are not easy to mess with. Everyone stays as far away from them as possible when they see them. Even if they are angry, no one dares to shout loudly.

"Catch all these people from the restaurant."

Pei Xiuhan said this and pushed the wheelchair to the stable. His face was cold and creepy. He pressed his hands on the armrests of the wheelchair and flew onto the horse. The next moment, the warhorse left the stable quickly under his control.

His legs were still unable to walk normally. Seeing that he didn't even want the wheelchair, Shi Yu hurriedly carried the wheelchair and chased after him.

The night wind was blowing gently, but Shi Yu was sweating all over as he chased after Zhao Wu. He cursed Zhao Wu in his heart.

At this time, Zhao Wu had already arrived at Zhangjia Village. He had asked someone to inquire about Xiaoxiao's residence in advance. After arriving at Zhangjia Village, he went straight to the northwest corner of the village. Xiaoxiao's house only had three thatched houses, which were a little far away from the other houses and were easy to recognize.

He was not in a hurry. Although it was completely dark, today was August 15th and the lights in every household were still on. He was afraid of alarming the villagers, so he hid for a while. After the nearby villagers turned off their lights, he went to Xiaoxiao's yard in the dark.

Xiaoxiao had also gone to bed, but she hadn't fallen asleep yet. She was missing her grandma and brother again. This time, there was one more person she missed. She was wondering if Brother Pei had arrived home, and then she heard some noise in the yard.

Xiaoxiao's body tensed up instantly. Three months ago, her house was robbed and the thieves stole her few dozen copper coins. Xiaoxiao held her breath, picked up the scissors under her pillow, and got out of bed.

She had been keeping the silver and land deeds that Brother Pei left her close to her body. She nervously crawled under the bed, hoping that the thief would leave as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, after he pushed the door open, he had no intention of searching.

Zhao Wu rubbed his hands, chuckled, and suddenly threw himself on the bed. He stretched out his hands to hug her and said in a mean way, "My little beauty, uncle is here. Let uncle love you well tonight."

Unexpectedly, he found nothing. There was only a quilt on the bed, but no one was there. Zhao Wu cursed in frustration. When he felt the quilt was still warm, he smiled evilly, "Hey, little beauty, are you playing hide-and-seek with your uncle?"

Xiaoxiao had already recognized his voice. Her heart suddenly sank and she couldn't help but tighten the scissors in her hand. Her little face turned pale.

Zhao Wu took out a flint, struck a fire, and lit the candle beside him. He held the candle and looked under the bed. Sure enough, he saw the shivering little beauty.

The girl's facial features were delicate, like a lotus emerging from water, beautiful and clean. Even though she was still young, she could not hide her beauty. At this moment, her fair and tender face was full of fear. Zhao Wu liked the look of a beautiful woman trembling, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.

He coaxed her, "Just be good and come out. Uncle will give you some candy. Look, these are all for you."

As he spoke, he took out four or five candies from his pocket. In the past, he used candies to coax little girls. Little girls in the countryside had no knowledge, so he always succeeded in coaxing them.

Xiaoxiao clutched the scissors behind her. When she saw his lustful eyes, she felt nauseous. She froze in place without moving, only her pounding heart kept reminding her to be brave and not panic.

Xiaoxiao held back her tears, glanced at the candy in his hand, and tried to soften her voice, "I don't want to eat candy, I want to eat meat. If there is meat, I will go out. Can you go out and buy me some meat?"

What child doesn't like sweets?

The smile on Zhao Wu's face gradually faded, and he squinted his eyes and said, "Kid, my patience is limited. If you don't come out, believe it or not, I will make you pay for it."

Xiaoxiao bit her lip and still hid in the innermost part, not moving, but her little body was shaking violently.

Zhao Wu had no choice but to move in a little. He knelt on the ground and reached out to pull Xiaoxiao.

He grabbed Xiaoxiao's right arm and dragged her towards him. Xiaoxiao let go of the scissors with her right hand and held them tightly with her left hand. It was dim under the bed and the scissors were hidden behind her, so Zhao Wu didn't see them at all.

He dragged Xiaoxiao forward a little, and just as he was about to put more force into dragging her out, he heard the little girl's trembling voice say, "Uncle, if you don't want to buy me meat, forget it, but you have to give me the candy in your hand. Can you peel one for me? I've never had candy in my life."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and shook the man's arm, raising her little face. She was very beautiful, and the look of begging for candy with tears in her eyes made her even more adorable.

Zhao Wu had never seen such a beautiful little girl before, and his heart softened. Even though he knew she was stalling for time, Zhao Wu didn't take it seriously. Instead, he smiled and said, "Okay, uncle will peel it for you to eat. Let uncle taste your sweet mouth later."

As he spoke, he picked up a candy and started to peel the skin. He had just peeled half of it when he saw the little girl holding something and stabbing it at him. He was kneeling on the ground with his body bent. He had no time to dodge and could only reach out to block it.

The scissors stabbed his hand, and he screamed in pain. He reached out to grab the scissors in Xiaoxiao's hand, but Xiaoxiao refused to let go. While he was trying to grab them, she kicked him in the crotch.

There was limited space under the bed, and the man couldn't even lift his head. He could only bend over. He was already kneeling on the ground and couldn't dodge at all. He watched helplessly as she kicked him. The severe pain suddenly hit him. He gasped in pain and didn't even have time to grab the scissors. He covered his crotch and collapsed under the bed.

He was sweating all over from the pain, his eyes red with hatred. Seeing her running away, he endured the pain and reached out to grab Xiaoxiao again, "Little, little bitch, look, look how I deal with you!"

He grabbed Xiaoxiao's hair. Xiaoxiao burst into tears in pain. She shouted for help and stabbed him with the scissors again. She used up almost all her strength and had no idea where she stabbed.

The man screamed in pain again and his body trembled.

Xiaoxiao looked at him in horror, only to find that the knife had stabbed him in the abdomen and the scissors were covered in blood.

Xiaoxiao was so scared that she dropped the scissors and crawled out from under the bed crying. After she came out, she ran out desperately and lost one of her shoes.

It was the first time that Zhao Wu suffered such a big loss. He covered his abdomen and tried to crawl out from under the bed, but he couldn't get up. His lower body and abdomen hurt. He took a while to relax before he could barely crawl out.

Xiaoxiao didn't look back and ran out desperately. She stepped on a stone and got her feet broken, but she didn't care. Her heart was full of despair. When she ran out of the door, she happened to run into Pei Xiuhan who was riding back on his horse.

The moonlight was dim, with only a faint light. Xiaoxiao couldn't see the person coming clearly. Her first reaction was that he was a bad guy. She took a step back in fear, her heart filled with despair.

Pei Xiu Han had night vision and saw at a glance how miserable the little girl looked. Her hair was messy, one of her shoes was missing, and her hands were stained with blood. She looked as miserable as she could be.

"Xiaoxiao, come here."

When Xiaoxiao heard his voice, tears instantly fell. She ran a few steps towards him quickly. The horse was very well behaved. It only neighed once and then looked in Xiaoxiao's direction curiously.

Pei Xiu Han reached out and wrapped his arms around her, pulling the little girl onto the horse's back. Xiaoxiao threw herself into his arms, tears streaming down her face.

The villagers who heard the noise came out holding candles. When they saw Pei Xiuhan, who was full of hostility, they were so scared that they stood there in a daze.

Zhao Wu also heard the noise. He stumbled to the top of the wall, trying to escape as quickly as possible. The next moment, he was chopped by someone and his head fell directly to the ground. His eyes were still wide open until he died.

Pei Xiuhan rubbed the little girl's back, pulled the reins, turned the horse around, and took her to Qiyuan Town. Before leaving, he said, "Take all her things with her."

Shi Yu rubbed his nose and resigned himself to being a servant. He called Xiao Qi out and asked him to carry his master's wheelchair to the town.

Along the way, Xiaoxiao was still in shock, her little hands tightly grasping Pei Xiuhan's clothes. Pei Xiuhan didn't say anything until they arrived at the inn, then he tightened the reins.

Xiao Qi followed closely behind. He had used his lightness skills all the way here. His face was a little red because he was carrying a wheelchair. I don’t know if it was because he was tired or because he felt that he looked too embarrassed.

After he put down the wheelchair, he looked at Xiaoxiao on the horse and stretched out his hand to the little girl, wanting to pick her up. Xiaoxiao was a little scared and shrank into Pei Xiu Han's arms.

Knowing that she was frightened, Pei Xiuhan whispered to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, brother is here."

It was the first time that Xiao Qi saw him coaxing someone, and he couldn't help but look at the little girl again. Noticing his gaze, Xiao Xiao snuggled into Pei Xiu Han's arms again, and her body trembled unconsciously.

Pei Xiuhan glanced at Xiaoqi, his eyes cold and deep.

Xiao Qi was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his gaze and dared not look again.

Pei Xiuhan put his arm around Xiaoxiao's waist, pressed the horse's back hard with his palm, then jumped up from the horse and took Xiaoxiao to sit in the wheelchair.

The horse neighed and raised its hoof.

Pei Xiu Han ignored it. When the servant saw this scene, he was so shocked that his eyes widened. He looked at Pei Xiu Han with awe. After he came to his senses, he pulled the horse to the stable.

Xiao Qi pushed Pei Xiu Han and Xiao Xiao back to the backyard. Pei Xiu Han took her directly back to his room. Xiao Xiao stayed in his arms, her little hands tightly clutching his clothes. There were still tears in her eyes, and she looked frightened.

Pei Xiuhan touched her head and said again: "It's okay, don't be afraid."

She kept holding on to him and refused to let go, so Pei Xiu Han didn't say much. He just carried her to the desk. He had several secret reports to reply to, so he ignored her.

He held her small body in one hand and wrote back with the other.

His embrace made people feel at ease, and Xiaoxiao's frightened heart gradually calmed down. After Pei Xiuhan finished replying the letter, he found that the little girl had fallen asleep. She slept very restlessly, with her brows furrowed and her little face very pale.

Afraid that she would wake up, Pei Xiuhan pressed her sleeping button, then asked someone to call the proprietress, threw her a silver ingot, and asked her to help Xiaoxiao wipe her body and change her clothes.

When Xiaoxiao opened her eyes the next day, it was already dawn. Recalling what happened last night, she sat up in horror. The room looked unfamiliar and Brother Pei was gone.

Xiaoxiao's eyes turned red instantly and she hurriedly got out of bed. She pushed open the door and ran out.

When Pei Xiuhan heard the noise, he pushed his wheelchair and walked out of the next room. The next moment, he saw the little girl stumbling towards him.

She was barefoot, her eyes were red, and she looked extremely flustered. Tears were already hanging on her fair little face.

Pei Xiuhan's heart softened and he caught her small body.
