Chapter 119 The Young Widow’s Mighty Neighbor
The young man was completely stunned. He looked Xie Zaozao up and down and thought to himself that this girl was pretty and had a nice figure, but if she didn't speak, she would look cute and naive.
Why do you talk like this...
But since they were guests, the waiter had to force a smile: "Then, then, girl, please come in, our Spring Palace..."
Two scholars walked by and looked at the young man with disdain as he said the word "Spring Palace" to an ignorant girl.
The young man felt that he had died unjustly.
With a wry smile, he welcomed Xie Zao Zao into the inner room, where several men were standing, flipping through books on the bookshelf with red faces.
One of them was a burly man who was engrossed in reading a book called "The Wild Farmer and the Down-and-out Courtesan". Just as he was about to sigh, he looked up and saw a very beautiful girl squatting in front of him and looking at him.
Man: ???
When did women get allowed in here?
In fact, it’s not that bookstores don’t allow women to enter, but women will never come into a place that sells pornographic stories.
They were all men, and sometimes they would just look at a few pages in the room just to make a quick selection.
Just when he was getting excited, he looked up and saw a girl staring at him.
I was so scared that I fainted.
But the girl still asked bluntly: "Is it beautiful?"
"Okay, okay...it's okay...right."
"What's that?"
The rough guy's face suddenly turned red with shame, and he stammered for a long time without being able to explain what he meant.
Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, Xie Zaozao stood up and said to the waiter in disappointment, "Then tell me, what is this book about?"
Young man: ...He really did tell it, but he couldn't bring himself to tell it to the men who came to buy books, or to tell it to such a pretty girl.
This girl doesn't look like someone from a brothel. How could she be like this... Meng Lang...
Xie Zao Zao asked the two people, and both of them blushed and looked a little confused: "Is it so hot in the room?"
The system couldn't bear it any longer: "Host... this is inappropriate."
"What's wrong?"
"This, this kind of content, it's totally inappropriate to let someone talk about it right away. How can this be considered embarrassing?"
Xie Zaozao: "So this is difficult?"
"Of course it's difficult!"
Xie Zaozao: "My master said that if something is difficult to handle, you have to pay for it."
After saying that, he took out a dime from his pocket and waved it in front of the two people: "Whoever tells me, I'll give it to him."
The two looked at each other silently, then rushed forward.
"The rough man returned from the fields. It was already dark, and the shadows of the grass and trees were swaying in the wind. Just as he was feeling terrified, he suddenly saw a bright figure appear before his eyes. Just like that—"
In the private room, Xie Zao Zao sat down at the table with tea and snacks at hand. He ate while listening, and occasionally asked questions when he heard something puzzling: "Why did this girl pounce on that man when she saw him? Was she drugged?"
"Uh, this...isn't drugged...it's, I can't help it."
Xie Zao Zao suddenly realized: "Continue."
The man stood not far from Xie Zaozao, his face flushed and shy like a young girl getting into a bridal sedan. Especially when he talked about some of the interjections in the book like "hmm", "ahhh", "ohhh", he wished he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
Xie Zaozao listened very attentively, and his concentration was no less than those students from the Fu family.
But the content...
This scene attracted many people from the bookstores, including some reckless people who secretly ran to the door of the private room to peek in with sticky eyes.
Although Xie Zao Zao and his group went to the private room, there was no soundproofing there and the man had a loud voice, so basically many people could hear most of what they said.
Such a beautiful girl actually listened to such a story in public. Isn't that a blatant seduction?
Just as Xie Zaozao was listening attentively, a scholar strolled in. Seeing the scene, his eyes lit up and he came straight up to Xie Zaozao and asked, "This young lady is a prostitute from the Cangsi Building. Are you here to study?"
Xie Zaozao: “No.”
The scholar's face was filled with lewd smiles, and he even wanted to reach out and touch Xie Zaozao's hand: "If the young lady is not from the Qusi Tower, why would she listen to such obscene songs and erotic books in public? Aren't you trying to attract business?"
Xie had removed his arm early on.
Scholar: “…”
It seemed like I didn't do anything and my arm just fell off.
It took him a while to feel the piercing pain and he screamed in pain.
"You, you witch, what have you done to me? How dare you destroy my hands? Do you know that these hands of mine are used to become the top scholar and write beautiful articles?"
Xie Zao Zao ignored him and said to the man, "Go on."
The scholar angrily said, "You witch, do you know any witchcraft? Be careful or I'll report you to the government office."
The young man saw that things were not going well: "Girl, girl, please don't make trouble, we still have business to do——"
Xie Zao Zao: "Okay."
He then put his arm back on.
The scholar was in so much pain that he yelled that he would go to the government office to sue her, but Xie Zaozao kicked him to the ground: "Sue me? Your arm must be injured before you can do that, right?"
The scholar then realized that his arm was fine. Although he was in so much pain that he broke out in cold sweats, no one could see anything wrong with it.
"You, you, you must be a witch! I'm going to the Fu family to find a mystic to deal with you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and saw a man wearing the uniform of the Fu family's mystic master walking in, panting and sweating profusely.
It was Lin Shu.
Lin Shu had just finished what he was going to do and was about to go to school when he saw Xie Zao Zao flying over from the sky and hurriedly followed him.
He couldn't fly either, so he ran desperately on the ground, shouting and calling, but Xie Zaozao didn't hear him. He ran all the way to the town and asked around before he found Xie Zaozao.
As soon as he entered the door, his face turned dark.
I saw Xie Zaozao pulling the scholar's arm, and the scholar's face was red and his expression was ferocious.
Seeing Lin Shu approaching, the scholar screamed, "You alchemist! Come quickly! This is a witch! Capture her!"
Lin Shu rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward: "How do we catch it?"
The scholar said, "First, slap her in the face, then tear her clothes to shreds. See how arrogant she becomes!"
Lin Shu asked, "How about stripping me naked and hanging me upside down?"
A hint of lust flashed in the scholar's eyes. He turned to look at Xie Zaozao's pretty face and plump breasts, licking the corner of his mouth. "Well, well, this alchemist really knows how to deal with demons."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shu came over with a cold face, grabbed his clothes and slapped him more than ten times, then tore his clothes to pieces.
Scholar: “Ahhhhhhhh?!”
Lin Shu: "Okay, the first two steps are done."
He reached out to strip his clothes off. The scholar screamed and covered his chest tightly, fearing that Lin Shu would strip him naked.
Because he was shouting so loudly, the waiter had to come over to remind him: "Hey, Master, we are open for business. It is not appropriate to make such a noise."
Lin Shu sneered, "Inappropriate? When this man was bullying this girl just now, why didn't you come out to mediate?"
The young man said innocently: "Because, because this girl doesn't need it."
Lin Shu angrily said, "What do you mean by 'no need'? Such a delicate woman was molested by this scoundrel in your bookstore, and you don't need help?"
The young man laughed dryly: "Master, you misunderstood me. I said this mainly because..."
He took a step to the side, revealing four or five men with bruised faces and noses who were howling and screaming behind him.
"Everyone who just teased this girl has been beaten like this. If we take action, won't we be doing more harm than good?"
Lin Shu was startled and turned to look at Xie Zaozao.
Xie Zao Zao stood up very calmly: "I don't want to listen anymore, it's too noisy."
Then he took the books the man was holding and said, "These are all I have. Check out."
After buying the books, Lin Shu walked with Xie Zaozao on the street. Seeing that Xie Zaozao was unharmed, Lin Shu stopped and looked confused.
Originally, he thought that he stood up to vent Miss Xie's anger, but Miss Xie didn't need it at all, and it only made him seem very distrustful of her.
He seemed to be doing Miss Xie a disservice.
Xie Zao Zao took a few steps, and when he saw that Lin Shu hadn't caught up, he turned to look at him: "Why aren't you leaving?"
"Should I not have taken action just now?" Lin Shu hesitated for a long time and finally said.
Xie stopped early.
The blue bricks in the town had just been swept, but there were still spots of snow. In the distance, the mountains were beautiful, covered in silver. Xie Zaozao was dressed in plain white clothes, almost blending in with the pure white. Only black hair, pink lips and clear eyes could be seen.
Xie Zao Zao said: "How could that be? It's a good thing that someone helps me."
"But you don't need to..."
"Even if I don't need it, I'd be happy if someone helped me," Xie Zaozao said. "I don't think it's okay for someone to take my kindness for granted."
Lin Shu's heart suddenly warmed, and his eyes lit up.
He strode over to Xie Zaozao and said softly, "Is the book in your arms heavy? Let me help you carry it."
Xie Zao Zao didn't refuse and gave it to him.
Lin Shu's heart was filled with joy. He wondered what kind of books Miss Xie would like to read. This seemed like a good opportunity to get to know her.
While Xie Zao Zao was not paying attention, he lowered his head, lifted the paper covering the book and took a look, then he froze.
"The Young Widow's Mighty Neighbors".
Lin Shu: ???
The author has no responsibility to murmur:
Xie Zaozao: For me, there is no such thing as having your kindness taken for granted.
Fu Yanzhi: It’s snowing, this cloak is for you.
Xie Zaozao: Do I have to wash it today? Are you in a hurry to wear it?
Fu Yanzhi: ...
