Chapter 21: The Tattooed Exile

Chen Shiyi quickened his pace and slowly began to run.

When the man behind saw Chen Shiyi running, he finally couldn't help but catch up with her, grabbed her by the back of the neck, and threw her to the ground.

The villain hit her hard and she saw stars on her head.

He held Chen Shiyi tightly, then pressed his body against her, his two free hands constantly searching her body.

Chen Shiyi shouted desperately.

"I have no money."

The villain slapped Chen Shiyi hard with his big palm.

"Your mother has money to buy snacks from Wu's Shop, but you are here saying you have no money."

Chen Shiyi's mouth was full of the smell of blood, which made her head hurt.

"Really? I bought it for someone else. Please spare me, dear man."

"Spared you? I have no money, but this body is worth some money. I guess I can exchange it for two taels of silver."

The criminals picked up Chen Shiyi's frail body, dragged her by her hair and led her towards Ping'an Town.

She tightly grasped the hand that was pulling her hair, and when her legs were slightly stable, she kicked his crotch with her leg at high speed. The bad guy was in so much pain that he let go of his hands and covered the area tightly.

Chen Shiyi was anxiously looking for a stone to smash the villain to pieces, but unexpectedly, the villain was kicked away by a foot.

"Mr. Li, I caught you again. This time I'm going to kill you."

When the evil man named Li saw the person in front of him, he was so scared that he ran away desperately, not even caring about the pain in his body.

As the benefactor turned around, Chen Shiyi's pupils widened.

Cui Yongan?

What a coincidence.

Cui Yongan glanced at Chen Shiyi carefully and smiled disdainfully.

Chen Shiyi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked in confusion.

"Is it that funny?"

Cui Yongan didn't say anything, but just helped her pick up the backpack and brought it back to her.

"How's it going? Are you okay?"

Chen Shiyi shook his head.

"It's okay. If you hadn't shown up, I would have already smashed him to death."

Cui Yongan snorted coldly.

"It seems that I saved him at the wrong time."

Chen Shiyi said nothing, but picked up the backpack. Her leg had been twisted during the struggle, and she limped forward.

Seeing this, Cui Yongan hurriedly supported her.

Not far ahead, they rested in a shady place.

Chen Shiyi looked Cui Yongan up and down.

He had a strong body, sturdy arms, and good looks. His wolf-like eyes were quite gentle when they were not fierce. The scar on his forehead added a touch of evil charm to his handsomeness.

Cui Yongan tugged at his clothes uncomfortably.

"What are you looking at?"

Chen Shiyi blinked.

"Brother Cui, I heard from your friends that you are still unmarried. How about I marry you?"

Cui Yongan turned his face away arrogantly.

"If you want to marry me, you have to wait in line."

Chen Shiyi laughed softly, pulling her bruised face, and grimaced in pain.

She said indifferently.

"People in our village say that people like you are strong and capable of hunting and working. If we follow you, we will never go hungry, we can eat meat, and we won't be bullied by others."

"Your waist looks strong, so you must be good at the job down there."

Cui Yongan subconsciously moved away from Chen Shiyi.

There was disbelief and disgust in his eyes.

"Look at you, a girl, what are you saying?"

Chen Shiyi frowned and asked in confusion.

“That’s what people in the village used to say.”

Cui Yongan boasts that she has the thickest skin in the world, but when she met her chess rival for the first time, she remained calm and pretended to be ignorant and innocent. She is so shameless.

He stood up suddenly, brushed off the dust on his body, and ran away in a flash.

Chen Shiyi's face was full of doubt. Was there a ghost following him?

She had rested enough, so she slowly stood up from the ground, limping forward slowly, carrying the backpack on her back.

Suddenly, Cui Yongan turned back again.

He felt very impatient when he saw Chen Shiyi's pitiful appearance.

"How's your foot? Can you walk?"

He stretched out his hand to support Chen Shiyi, but Chen Shiyi wanted to pull his arm to bear the force, but he unexpectedly stepped back again.

"Don't touch me."

Chen Shiyi's body was exhausted and he fell to the side.

Her jaw hit the ground hard, and the only thing she thought of at that time was.

Damn it!

What is he coming back for?

Finally, Cui Yongan held the head of the wooden stick in front, and Chen Shiyi held the tail of the stick behind, and the two walked forward one in front and one behind.

His steps were wide and quick, and Chen Shiyi was short and had short legs and was injured.

If it wasn't for Cui Yongan's return, Chen Shiyi just wanted to say, "Why don't you just let me go? I can do it alone!"

As they wandered around like this, it was getting dark and they ran into Wen Zhiheng and Wen Zhirou at the gate of the yard.

Wen Zhiheng's eyes were dark, but Wen Zhirou's face was abnormally shocked.

"Eleven, come here quickly."

Chen Shiyi was stunned. He looked left and right, and finally his eyes fell on Cui Yongan.

"Brother Cui, thank you for today. I will come to thank you another day."

Wen Zhirou hurried over and took Chen Shiyi over.

"Why are you hanging out with this guy? He's a big flower thief."

Cui Yongan crossed his arms, his eyes as sharp as a ferocious beast.

"What did you say?"

Wen Zhirou glanced at Cui Yongan with contempt.

"Bah, you pervert."

Cui Yongan put his tongue on her cheek and smiled maliciously.

"Slut you!"

Wen Zhiheng, who had been silent beside him, felt a chill all over his body and opened his thin lips slightly.

"court death."

He took a running start, kicked the wall with his left leg, and spun his handsome body like the wind, throwing the stick he picked up straight at Cui Yongan's face.

Cui Yongan calmly moved to the side. The wooden stick flashed past his face, startling a strand of his black hair and sending it flying.

Cui Yongan has a sturdy figure, defending and fighting back like an elegant cheetah, exuding the arrogance and cruelty of a wild beast, while Wen Zhiheng, who has received a lot of orthodox training, shows his master style in every move...

Chen Shi stared in a daze at the courtyard wall that was ravaged by the two men.

Will it collapse tomorrow?

After dozens of moves, Cui Yongan stepped back, bent his left leg, and his right cloth shoe dug into the mud, raising a cloud of dust.

"Brother Cui, you are amazing. You can even fight the young master to a draw."

Cui Yongan brushed his nose with his right hand.

"I'm giving him a few points for your sake. He may not be able to beat me."

Wen Zhiheng's cold voice invaded his ears.

"Big talk."

The joints of Wen Zhiheng's fingers kept snapping, and it was obvious that if Cui Yongan stayed a little longer, he would not show mercy.

In the courtyard kitchen, Chen Shiyi fetched water to wash rice, and lit a fire to cook porridge.

Wen Zhirou scolded beside him, while Wen Zhiheng, who was usually very kind, remained silent.

"Eleven, don't associate with this kind of people in the future."

"You didn't see the huge word '淫' on his forehead."

Chen Shiyi said softly.

"Miss, I can't read."

Wen Zhirou was choked.

"He is a criminal who was exiled here for committing adultery. He is trying so hard to get close to you that he must have some bad intentions towards you. Stay away from him from now on. He is a thief who steals women."

Chen Shiyi still spoke softly.

"I wanted him to interview me, but he disagreed. He must have thought I was too ugly."

Wen Zhirou pointed at Chen Shiyi and was speechless for a long time.

"You, I think there's something wrong with your brain."

Chen Shiyi started a fire and watched the dancing flames quietly.

“He’s a good man.”

Wen Zhirou is out of breath.

"Which eye did you see it with?"

"Heart," Chen Shiming looked at Wen Zhirou intently.

“I feel it with my heart.”
