Chapter 33
After hearing He Qin's words, the people around him began to doubt the truth of the matter and discussed it in low voices with their heads down.
The man felt even more guilty, but with so many people around, he couldn't admit to being a human trafficker. He clutched the silver he had just snatched from Lu Xiaobai and shouted angrily, "Who you are is none of my business. Give me my wife back!"
"No, you are a human trafficker, and he is my husband."
Lu Xiaobai grabbed He Qin's clothes tightly, lay in his arms, wiped her tears and explained to everyone.
He was really scared. It would have been fine if he was not strong, but he was an adult after all. He didn't expect that someone would want to kidnap him!
He instantly recalled a report he had seen on TV about a female college student being trafficked to the mountains, beaten and scolded. Not only did she have to do farm work, she also had to stay by her husband's bed while giving birth. She was imprisoned and could not leave that place for the rest of her life.
He couldn't accept living with He Qin. If he was abducted, he might die.
As soon as Lu Xiaobai finished speaking, there were many exclamations from the surroundings. The eyes looking at the man became contemptuous. While cursing, they told the guys around him to pay attention to safety.
"You, you are talking nonsense, I am obviously your husband!"
Seeing that everyone was cursing him, the man no longer feared. After all, there was only one person on the other side. Although he looked fierce, if a fight really broke out, there was no telling who would suffer!
At this time, Lingyi and Lingsan squeezed out from the crowd and stood respectfully in front of He Qin: "Brother, what's going on?"
Lingyi heard the commotion in front from a distance and was worried that something had happened to Lu Xiaobai and the others. When he came in, he saw his master as expected.
Seeing Lingyi coming, Lu Xiaobai couldn't help crying again. She turned around and pointed at the man, saying aggrievedly, "Brother Lingyi, that man said he was my husband and wanted to take me away..."
Lingyi's expression changed, and he turned to look at the man. The man was frightened by the murderous look in Lingyi's eyes. Seeing two men suddenly appear beside He Qin, he knew that he had no chance of winning, and subconsciously wanted to run away: "This, this may be my mistake."
Anyway, he got the silver, and was about to leave. Ling Yi took a few steps forward, and before anyone could see the man clearly, he was pinned to the ground. The man immediately begged for mercy: "Please spare me, spare me, I really recognized the wrong person..."
"He Qin~"
Lu Xiaobai sniffed and looked down at the crumpled oil paper in his hand. The pancake inside had turned into crumbs. He cried and said, "He Qin, that man stole my money..."
He Qin looked down at the person in his arms, his face looking a little unhappy. He said to Ling Yi in a cold voice: "Give the silver back and send the person to the government."
"Yes, it should be sent to the government."
The people around also echoed: "At first I thought it was a disobedient boy who stole the money and spent it recklessly, but I didn't expect it was a human trafficker who kidnapped people in the street."
"Fortunately, this guy is okay, otherwise we would all be accomplices today."
Someone even took the initiative to say to Ling: "Do you need any help, my dear? We will take you to the government office..."
Lu Xiaobai kept wiping his tears, but they kept flowing. At first he felt wronged and scared, but with He Qin around, the fear in his heart gradually disappeared.
But when he thought about how these people scolded him for being ungrateful at the beginning, he couldn't hold back his tears, so he couldn't stop crying and felt wronged.
Now that he heard that everyone was not wrongly accusing him, he nodded in agreement: "That's right, he's so bad, he deserves to go to jail."
After hearing Lu Xiaobai's words, He Qin let go of him and turned away.
Lu Xiaobai was frightened by He Qin's actions and burst into tears. He quickly trotted after He Qin, holding his clothes and saying, "He Qin, walk slower. I can't keep up..."
He Qin didn't say anything and soon walked into a restaurant.
This kind of small place is not like the ones in bustling towns where restaurants have private rooms, so He Qin looked around after entering and chose an inconspicuous corner to sit down.
Lu Xiaobai was frightened by He Qin's cold attitude. She sat beside him cautiously, holding back her tears and asked, "He Qin, what's wrong with you?"
The waiter came forward and asked them what they wanted to eat. He Qin ordered a bowl of noodles and sent them away.
When Lu Xiaobai saw that He Qin only ordered a bowl of noodles, the tears he had been holding back fell again. He didn't understand why He Qin suddenly got angry and now refused to buy him food.
He was almost kidnapped. Not only did He Qin not comfort him, but why did he ignore him?
Lu Xiaobai felt so aggrieved that she cried so hard that her nose was blocked.
Seeing him crying like this, He Qin sneered and said, "Your money was stolen, and you almost died, but your pancake is still there."
Lu Xiaobai subconsciously lowered his head, looking at the crumpled oil paper in his hand and crying, "The cake is broken... and you blame me, it's because you walked too fast and I couldn't keep up, hum..."
He Qin: ...
He was already walking slowly enough, and the two of them had agreed to go eat first and then buy things, but when he arrived at the restaurant and turned around, the person was gone.
When he ran back along the route, this silly guy was almost dragged away!
She wasn't paying attention when walking, and she looked around without any sense of crisis. When something happened, she was still concerned about the money for the pancakes. She called her husband when she had something to do, and called He Qin when she had nothing to do. Why is she so ungrateful?
He Qin didn't say anything. Lu Xiaobai felt angry and aggrieved. He stood up and wanted to sit in the seat farthest away from He Qin.
As soon as he took a step, He Qin said, "If you get lost again, I will have no one look for you. I will have you sold by human traffickers, locked up to give birth to children every day, or even sold to a brothel to make money."
Lu Xiaobai's face turned pale when he heard this. He immediately turned around and sat next to He Qin, not forgetting to pull the corner of He Qin's clothes to prevent him from leaving him.
Seeing the person sitting beside him obediently, head down, not crying, making a fuss, or losing his temper, He Qin sneered and asked, "Are you scared now?"
He's obviously been scared all the time, okay?
He Qin is so mean, knowing that he is afraid and still scaring him!
Lu Xiaobai lowered his head and said nothing.
It was not until the waiter came over with a bowl of noodles that he secretly raised his head and looked into the bowl cautiously.
"If you're scared, don't run around. Just follow us when you go out."
He Qin said with a sullen face, pushed the bowl of noodles in front of Lu Xiaobai and said, "Eat it."
Give him food?
Lu Xiaobai looked up at him with some disbelief: "Here, can you give it to me?"
He Qin: "What else?"
Lu Xiaobai had been hungry for a long time. Although this bowl of noodles did not look as delicious as he had imagined, it was definitely better than what Ling Er made last night.
He let go of the corner of He Qin's clothes, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. Just as he imagined, it was not very delicious, but not bad either, especially since he had been hungry for so long. He finished the noodles in a short while.
When the two of them came out of the noodle shop, Lingyi came over and the three of them bought a lot of things together.
Lingyi carried one on his back and another in his hands. He Qin also carried two bags. When passing by the pancake stand, he tugged at the corner of He Qin's clothes and said, "He Qin."
"What?"
Lu Xiaobai looked at the pancake stall and said, "I, I haven't paid for the pancake I just bought."
Didn’t eat it either…
He Qin's face became more and more ugly, but he still took out a few copper coins from his pocket and gave them to him.
Lu Xiaobai smiled and took out the coins, paid for the sesame cakes, bought a few fresh ones, and then followed He Qin home.
But he didn't know that as soon as they left the town, the human trafficker who was imprisoned in the prison died suddenly.
Lu Xiaobai shared the cakes he bought with others. Except for He Qin, everyone else accepted them and went home while eating.
After arriving home, everyone moved their things into the house together. Lu Xiaobai also carried some small items and followed Lingyi into the house. "Brother Lingyi, I, I was robbed of the silver by that person today. Did you help me get it back?"
Ling nodded: "It's coming back. It's with big brother. He said he would keep it for you."
Lu Xiaobai was instantly disappointed. How could such good money end up in He Qin's hands?
He felt very aggrieved, and after thinking for a while he asked again: "So, when I used silver to buy sesame cakes today, the stall owner said he couldn't make the change. What happened?"
As soon as Lingyi entered the door, he put down his newly bought dishes and chopsticks before saying, "One tael of silver is equivalent to one thousand copper coins. The stall owner only sells sesame cakes and wouldn't carry that much money on him. It's normal that he can't make the change."
"So many?"
Lu Xiaobai was shocked. At first, he looked down on the dozens of copper coins in the bag, so he only took two silver coins. He was afraid that he would not be able to buy anything, but he didn't expect there were so many!
"Yes, everything we bought today cost less than two taels of silver."
Lingyi smiled. Lu Xiaobai was showing off her wealth in the busy streets, and she didn't know anything about money. Her husband was missing, and she looked pretty and well-behaved, but she had no offensive power.
So that person had evil intentions, thinking that if he could capture this guy, he would have both money and a wife, which would be a great deal.
But that person didn't expect that Lu Xiaobai's husband was He Qin.
No one can provoke He Qin, and anyone who violates the rules will be killed.
But now Lu Xiaobai seems to be able to do it, because no matter what Lu Xiaobai did, He Qin never showed any murderous intention towards this silly guy.
Lingyi wanted to touch Lu Xiaobai's head, but Lingsan grabbed his arm as soon as he raised his hand: "There are bags of refined rice in the car, go and move them."
Lingyi nodded: "Okay."
Lingyi left and Lingsan was busy in the kitchen, but he looked a little fierce, so Lu Xiaobai didn't dare to talk to him much and turned back to his room.
Today they bought a new quilt and new clothes, which were as comfortable as the underwear He Qin gave him. However, maybe because they couldn't show off their wealth, they only bought underwear, and the outer coat was still tattered and old.
Moreover, the new quilt was covered with old sheets and quilt cover, but it was still very comfortable.
Lu Xiaobai couldn't wait to lie on the bed and feel the warmth of the new quilt.
Although He Qin looked fierce, he bought a lot of snacks for Lu Xiaobai today. After eating them all the way back, he didn't feel hungry at all in the evening and slept until midnight.
He was woken up by the urge to urinate, but the weather was too cold and the toilet was too far to get up.
She pouted, legs tucked together, and rubbed herself on the bed. It took a while before she opened her eyes. The voice in her head became clearer and clearer: [Planting Coins 100+, 100+, 100+…]
