After He Zhengbin left, life in the courtyard did not change much, except that there was one less person coming home for dinner at night.
Ming Leyao was afraid that the old man would not be used to it, so she chatted with him in the evening before going back to bed.
The days passed slowly, and after living in the small courtyard for more than half a month, Fu Wencheng finally got out of bed and could walk around on his own.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s been trapped in bed for too long that he developed a resistance to it, but he would rather stroll in the yard and enjoy the cool breeze all day than go back to the house.
This morning.
Guessing that the tickets from Aunt Qian were almost used up, Ming Leyao planned to exchange some at the black market. When she left last time, she asked Sister Ming to keep an eye on it, because she was carrying a lot of things this time.
The one she is using now is her original appearance. As for the previous appearance that she had when she had a large transaction with Sister Ming, she has never used it.
"Sister Ming."
"Hey? You're here."
Sister Ming knew that Ming Leyao had good stuff. Although it couldn't be compared with the last guy, a little bit adds up to a lot. She was very enthusiastic about Ming Leyao and didn't want to push this old customer to someone else's territory.
"Bring some wild boar this time."
"Wild boar meat? Can we still get wild boar meat now?"
Ming Leyao really didn’t know whether she could get it, but she got the wild boar meat from Shangjiaqiao Brigade before.
"This wild boar meat was brought over from far away by my brother. It's not much, only about fifty kilograms."
"Fifty pounds will be enough. I don't have much meat left."
In order to expand her territory, she gave away and sold the last batch of goods, and there was basically nothing left.
There is still a restock now, and even though there is only 50 kilograms, it is enough to sustain for a while.
"Are you exchanging tickets this time?"
"Yes, for some useful tickets."
"I got two fish tickets here yesterday. Can I give you some other tickets?"
"sure."
Sister Ming was not vague either. She went into the room, took out a small stack of bills and handed it to Ming Leyao.
"You count."
"That's great, Sister Ming. I'm leaving first. My family is waiting for me."
"Okay, go ahead."
After leaving the black market, Ming Leyao put some more meat and vegetables into the backpack and walked slowly towards home. Just as he turned from the main street to the entrance of an alley, he heard a burst of shouting and cursing.
"Hahaha, Lu Yanzhi, you coward, you want to protect your sister with your skinny body? I think you are courting death, get out of the way quickly and let us have a good kiss with your sister."
"You... Cheng Baopi, you... don't think that just because your father is a high-ranking official, you can bully us brothers and sisters at will. If you really make us angry, the worst that can happen is that no one will survive."
"Hey? You're good, you've learned to resist. Let me see today whether you are strong in body or just in words. Come on, brothers."
Soon there were sounds of fighting.
Originally Ming Leyao really didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but these people were blocking her way home...
It's not impossible to take a detour, but it would take nearly half an hour longer. She spent a lot of time in the black market. If she came back late, Fu Wencheng would be worried.
Forget it, since we've met, I might as well give a hand.
Ming Leyao, carrying a backpack, quickly entered the alley and saw four men surrounding a man in a military green cotton-padded jacket, beating and kicking him. There was a little girl huddled in the corner, crying with her face covered. Standing with her back to the alley entrance was a man wearing a black cotton-padded jacket, a cotton hat, and triangular eyes, with a cruel look in his eyes.
It seems that this is the so-called Cheng Paopi? ?
Is this Cheng Paopi a nickname?
She didn't think that any parents were so fierce as to name their son "Paopi".
"stop."
Ming Leyao let out a tender cry.
Everyone present looked at her.
"Beautiful... beautiful, she is really beautiful, even more beautiful than the girl from the Lu family, this one is good, this one is good..."
Cheng Baopi had triangular eyes and his mouth was cracked, revealing a mouthful of yellow-stained teeth.
Ming Leyao stepped back in disgust.
Damn, I've seen ugly ones, but I've never seen one so ugly that it makes people feel disgusted when they look at it for even a second.
This guy is long...
It's really unique.
Ming Leyao narrowed her eyes, frowned, and there was a fierce look in her eyes.
"If you don't want your eyeball, just throw it away."
"Oh, it's still a little hot pepper. Master Cheng, I like the untamed ones. Wow, so tasty."
As he said this, he licked his tongue.
yue!!!
She felt like she might not be able to eat when she got home at night.
"Comrade, comrade, please go quickly, please go quickly."
Lu Yanzhi, who was beaten black and blue, struggled to sit up from the ground. He first glanced at his sister, and then tried his best to ask Ming Leyao to leave quickly.
"You still have time to care about others. It seems that I didn't hurt you."
A lackey nearby kicked Lu Yanzhi again, knocking him to the ground.
Ming Leyao sighed and walked forward silently, passing Cheng Bapi's unsightly face and approaching the little girl who was huddled aside and crying.
"Help me watch the backpack."
The little girl couldn't stop crying. After hearing what Ming Leyao said, she looked at her with blank eyes.
"Watch it."
After saying that, Ming Leyao turned around and decided to end the battle quickly.
He quickly stepped forward, kicked the one closest to him, then swung his fist to the right, and his fist hit the face, with a sticky feeling.
Ming Leyao looked down at her own tender little hands.
Tsk tsk tsk, I should have known not to use my hands.
Lu Yanzhi didn't expect that someone would really save him, and it was a girl. He lay there in shock, looking at Ming Leyao's heroic figure. He kicked left and right, and soon the four followers were knocked to the ground.
Cheng Paopi stood nearby and watched, his face twitching with anger.
"How dare you meddle in other people's business? Do you know who my father is? If you mess with me, your Master Cheng, believe it or not, I will put your life in danger?"
"Oh, who do you think you are? You are just a barking dog here relying on the protection of your father. If you really have the ability, don't rely on your father, rely on yourself, you are a waste."
"Okay... okay... you bitch, today I'll let you see what Master Cheng is capable of."
As he said that, Cheng Paopi rushed up.
His moves are much more methodical than those of the minions. Looking at his attack and defense, each move is somewhat familiar...
This seems to be...
Military boxing???
Is this person a descendant of a soldier?
Hehe! Isn't this just a coincidence? Everyone has an elder who is a soldier.
When she got home, she asked her grandfather who this person was.
In Ming Leyao's eyes, Cheng Baopi's fancy moves were nothing but show. He lacked strength, his movements were not standard, and the positions of his hands and legs were totally wrong. It was obvious that they were just tricks to fool people.
She was too lazy to waste time talking to him. She kicked him three times, and without giving him any more kicks, she directly knocked him to the ground and stepped heavily on his chest.
