Chapter 184 What's wrong with guarding and saving people?
"Jinwen, go back to that grape shop." Xiao Jiuyue walked all the way to the end of Wan'an Street before turning back to Jinwen and saying, "Find out where he's staying, where he's from, and how many kilograms of grapes he has."
"Yes." Jin Wen responded. Seeing that Hua Qing and Dong Gui were both guarding Xiao Jiuyue, he went to inquire about the news with peace of mind.
"Miss, you already know that he is not from Xijiang, why did you buy grapes?" Luo Kui thought about it all the way but couldn't figure it out.
"Are the grapes he sells the sweetest in the entire Wan'an Street?" Xiao Jiuyue asked instead of answering.
Without even thinking, Luo Kui said, "It's the sweetest and the biggest!" Later, they saw several places selling grapes, but none of them were as good as the ones they bought.
"So, why bother to correct it seriously? Is it the grapes from Xijiang?" Xiao Jiuyue chuckled, thinking about the pair of shoes with many patches on his feet. Perhaps, there is a difficulty?
"Luokui, as long as the grapes taste good, why do you care where they are from?" Lianxin whispered while holding Luokui's hand.
Luo Kui: "Why did he lie to us?" Luo Kui felt uncomfortable when she thought that they were deceived. Before, when she heard the man's strange accent, she thought that he couldn't understand the gibberish in Xijiang dialect. Now it seems that she is a fool and the man is just making up stories.
"You..." Lianxin heard her thinking about this and shook her head helplessly.
Xiao Jiuyue listened to their whispered conversation and thought: What Lianxin said is absolutely right. Besides being very talented in eating water spinach, in other aspects...
"Someone fell into the water."
Suddenly, a cry of surprise was heard, and everyone on Wan'an Street looked towards the banks of the Yexi River. Many people gathered there, and Xiao Jiuyue also joined in the fun and went over to take a look.
"Young lady." The two maids were lying on the ground, half of their bodies about to fall into the river. Her hands seemed to be holding something. At the same time, another maid grabbed a stone from the shore and threw it into the water: "Don't come near my young lady."
"Don't come over here." An angry voice came from below the river.
"Miss Song, half of your body is wet. I was worried that you would catch a cold, so I asked the guards to rescue you." A woman in red clothes on the shore spoke.
A woman in pink gloated over her misfortune, "Cousin, I think she just doesn't know how to appreciate kindness."
"Go away, I don't need you to save me."
As Xiao Jiuyue approached, he heard the panicked and frightened voice of the woman by the river.
"Miss Song, your cousin is so kind as to ask someone to rescue you." The pink-dressed woman spoke again. She blinked innocently and suddenly said loudly, "I know. You don't want the guards to rescue you. You want someone else to rescue you?"
"Everyone, come and help! She is the daughter of the Song Censor family. Now she has fallen into the water. I hope someone who can swim can jump in and rescue her. The Song family will definitely reward her handsomely!"
As soon as the pink-dressed woman finished speaking, Xiao Jiuyue heard the sounds of several people jumping into the water to save others. In modern times, it would definitely be considered a heroic act, but in ancient times when reputation was extremely important, whoever saved Miss Song would either have to marry her or her reputation would be ruined.
"Go away, go away quickly, I don't need you to save me." By the river, Song Yu's voice was trembling and she was almost crying. She looked at the man swimming towards her, who looked like a poisonous snake or a ferocious beast.
"Who among you can swim?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.
"I can." Hua Qing, dressed in black, jumped directly into the water and landed in front of Song Yu, splashing water on her face.
"Don't touch me, I'll give you money." Song Yu covered her chest with her hands in fear. She held the hand of her maid Su Cai tightly with one hand, and leaned against the river bank, pleading.
"Miss, I don't want your money." Hua Qing grinned.
When Song Yu heard Hua Qing's female voice, she immediately felt relieved.
"People told you to get out, why are you still here?" Hua Qing suddenly punched him, splashing water everywhere. The man was knocked unconscious and sank into the water.
The remaining few people who jumped into the water to rescue her were yelled at by Hua Qing: "A girl fell into the water, why are you here to make a fuss? Get out of here! Otherwise, my fists will have no eyes."
Hua Qing raised his fist and yelled loudly. The guard who had been knocked unconscious earlier finally emerged from the water. His eyes were half black and his nose was bleeding. Suddenly, those people no longer dared to think about becoming his son-in-law and could only climb ashore in shame.
"Everyone, please make way." Xiao Jiuyue opened a piece of cloth that he bought nearby and threw it into the water, blocking everyone's sight.
Donggui and Huaqing worked in perfect harmony and rescued Song Yu to the shore directly.
Xiao Jiuyue took another piece of cloth and wrapped it around Song Yu: "I couldn't find a cloak, so I took the cloth. Don't mind, Miss Song."
"Thank you." Song Yu was still in shock, but she stood safely on the shore. The cloth on her body was her sense of security.
"Miss Song, I'm so glad you're safe." The pink-dressed woman's words were filled with a hint of regret. She stared at Xiao Jiuyue and said, "This girl looks unfamiliar. Are you from Hongdu?"
"Du Xiaoxiao, she's my savior!" Song Yu stood in front of Xiao Jiuyue, staring at the pink-dressed woman and said, "Whoever dares to bully her from now on is bullying me."
"Miss Song, you misunderstood. I just wanted to get to know you." Du Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed.
"That's better." Song Yu snorted lightly, staring coldly at the woman in red. The woman in red stepped forward and said with a smile, "I'm glad you're okay, Miss Song. You really misunderstood. I asked the guards to rescue you because I just wanted to help you."
"I know whether you want to help me or harm me." Song Yu held the cloth tightly in her hands. She clearly felt someone pushing her and then she fell into the water.
If Su Cai had not been quick enough to catch her, and half of her body had almost fallen into the river, she would have been drowned in the water and would not have been able to tell anything.
"Miss Song, you are going too far. Your cousin just wanted to help you and didn't think about anything else. It would be fine if you didn't thank me, but why are you blaming me?" Du Xiaoxiao changed her guilty mood and shouted at Song Yu.
"I think you've lost your mind, haven't you?"
"Who wants to harm you? It was obviously you who fell into the water because you didn't stand firmly." Du Xiaoxiao said a lot of things. Song Yu was anxious and angry, but she could not produce any evidence to prove that they were the ones who caused her to fall into the water.
Xiao Jiuyue, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "There are so many maids and servants around, but you let a guard go to rescue her?"
"That's right." Song Yu agreed subconsciously.
"No one can swim, only the guards can swim." Du Xiaoxiao spread his hands and sighed, "It's a matter of life and death, so what if the guards saved it?"
Guards, if the guards around her really saved her, would she still have a chance of survival?
Song Yu was so anxious that her eyes turned red, but she didn't know how to refute.
