Chapter 34: The young lady is serious
Seven or eight ferocious-looking men suddenly ran into the alley.
Chen Qinian laughed and rushed over: "Miss, I love fighting the most, leave a few for me to play with!"
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your help. From now on, I will take care of your chestnuts." Gu Xiaoxi didn't care whether this guy was joking or not, he was thoughtful.
"Are you serious, young lady?" Chen Qinian looked at Gu Xiaoxi.
"Don't worry, I keep my word." Gu Xiaoxi said this with certainty. She turned her head and saw that Brother Tan had also come with them. She felt somewhat touched.
After all, this was only the second time we met, and it seemed like there were many righteous people these days.
"Third brother, Brother Tan, please just look after my mother." She instructed.
Why……
Brother Tan nodded, picked up a stone from the ground and stood behind Chai.
Gu Nanming also picked up a stone and stood in front of his mother.
The leading thug got up from the ground and rushed towards Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi moved like a shadow and arrived in front of the ruffian before he could rush over.
Bang bang bang!
After a few slaps, the gangster's face became swollen, and then she kicked him away.
"What a fast speed!" Chen Qinian's eyes lit up, and after coming to his senses, he also rushed over.
It was the first time for him to encounter two people against more than a dozen people, but the fight was really exciting.
However, these mediocre skills are nothing to Gu Xiaoxi.
After knocking down seven or eight people and seeing Chen Qinian having fun, she stopped to rest and also took a closer look at Chen Qinian's leg skills.
"My legs aren't strong enough."
"Take a few steps back and attack this guy's waist."
"Get down, get down steadily!"
Chen Qinian listened to the young lady's instructions and found that his speed was faster than before, and he could knock down the opponent in front of him more accurately.
After an incense stick of time, the three opponents in front of him were lying on the ground. He looked at his fist happily, and then ran to the young lady.
"Miss, you are even better than my instructor!"
"I was just talking nonsense, just listen to it. Thank you very much today." Gu Xiaoxi bowed to Chen Qinian to express his gratitude.
Seeing that they were no match for these peasants, those people quickly fled.
Chen Qinian had been feeling pent up recently, and it was rare for him to have such a good time, so he invited them: "No thanks, no thanks. I'm in a good mood today, I'll treat you to dinner."
"No, I have to go to the mountain. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat chestnuts that are sweeter than my wife's the next day." Gu Xiaoxi rejected Chen Qinian's invitation.
She walked up to Brother Tan and bowed deeply to him.
"No, no, I can't hide it from you. If you hadn't brought us good business, we wouldn't be implicated. That man looks like my cousin.
That kid has a bad heart. Next time you come here, don't go through these alleys." Brother Tan said truthfully.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't expect that the two stalls knew each other, but she didn't regret being next to the Tan couple.
The couple are kind-hearted, otherwise Mrs. Tan wouldn't have reminded her about Chen Qinian just now, and Brother Tan wouldn't have come to help.
"It doesn't matter. If business is good, even bad people will be jealous." She said.
Seeing this, Brother Tan bowed and said, "Then I'll go back first. Your sister-in-law is alone over there and will definitely be too busy."
"Brother Tan, please go back quickly." Gu Xiaoxi asked Brother Tan to leave quickly.
After sending Brother Tan away, Gu Xiaoxi sent Chen Qinian away. She walked over, patted her mother's hand, and asked, "Mom, are you scared?"
It took Chai a long time to come back to her senses. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "I can't believe the world outside is so chaotic. Xiaoxi, why don't we give up this business and go home?"
"Mom, it's always the same, kind people are often bullied.
You just saw my skills. Starting tomorrow, I will teach my eldest and third brothers how to fight and kick. "Gu Xiaoxi would never give up a business opportunity.
She has so much debt on her head, and if she doesn't pay it back, she will be uneasy for the rest of her life.
"Sister, you were really amazing just now. I will definitely learn from you." Gu Nanming was very excited when he heard that his sister was willing to teach him.
"Let's go buy the oil paper and candy first, so as not to delay the business the day after tomorrow." After Gu Xiaoxi finished speaking, he pulled his mother and found that his mother's legs were weak with fear, so he bent down and carried her on his back.
The three of them hurriedly bought the necessary oil paper and candy. Gu Xiaoxi originally wanted to buy a piece of meat, but when she remembered that she had forgotten to take out the pheasant she had shot the previous night, she gave up the idea.
After buying ten meat buns inside, they left the city.
Unable to find an ox cart at the city gate, Gu Xiaoxi pulled everyone onto a horse-drawn carriage.
A horse carriage costs one penny more per person than an oxcart, and Chai kept talking all the way.
Gu Xiaoxi slept a little late last night and got up too early in the morning. She felt a little sleepy and fell asleep as soon as she got on the carriage. The one who was muttering to herself was only her third brother.
After returning to the village entrance, Gu Xiaoxi carried two backpacks and asked her third brother and mother to go back first. She also told them that they didn't need to cook tonight and that she would cook when she returned.
The time in the afternoon was short, so she didn't bring Ye Lixuan out.
After harvesting two chestnut trees, she wandered around in the woods for a while, looking for some mountain products and medicinal herbs, and then hurried down the mountain.
Although Mrs. Chai was frightened by what happened during the day, she couldn't stop her daughter from insisting on continuing her business.
When I got home, I stayed in my room alone and didn't come out.
When Xue came back, she realized something was wrong and curiously asked her brother-in-law, "Third Brother, Mom, what happened today? Is it because we can't sell chestnuts today?"
"Business is good, Mom. I guess you're tired." Gu Nanming didn't say the matter directly. This was also his sister's request while they were in the carriage.
"Then I'll go cook!" Xue said and was about to go to the kitchen, but then she heard her brother-in-law speak.
"No need. Xiaoxi said she wants to show off her skills today. Wait for her to come back and cook." Gu Nanming said again.
Gu Dongming heard the noise and walked over from the next yard. He said, "I don't know when she will come back. Wife, go and cook."
Gu Nanming opened his mouth, as if he agreed.
However, just as they finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Xue turned around and opened the door, and saw her sister-in-law coming to the door, carrying two baskets of thorny balls on her back.
She hurried forward to take down a backpack, but found blood on it. She was so scared that she quickly retracted her hand.
Gu Xiaoxi walked into the yard carrying a backpack and said, "Close the door quickly!"
Xue thought something had happened and turned around to bolt the door.
Gu Xiaoxi put down the backpack and poured out the thorn balls inside.
One of the baskets contained a large pheasant, which stunned everyone.
"This, this was done by you?" Xue looked at her sister-in-law in disbelief.
"This blind chicken hit the thorn ball, and I picked it up." Gu Xiaoxi said casually when she saw that her sister-in-law was not doing well.
However, Xue actually believed it and muttered, "I was wondering why pheasants were so easy to hunt. It turns out it's all thanks to these thorn balls."
