Chapter 10 Help
"Hurry up! Why are you so slow? There are only a few of us eating barbecue here. What's the point of waiting so long and it's not ready?" The man who was speaking was drooling, and a vein on his ferocious face was slowly undulating, and his cheeks were stirring like an old horse eating grass.
He stood up and slapped the table, and the peanut shells on the table jumped and escaped under the table.
"No, I've been waiting so long that I've lost all interest in eating." He kicked the stool, patted the person next to him, and turned his head to indicate something.
The old woman who was grilling skewers wiped the sweat from her forehead and said anxiously, "Brothers, I'll be back soon, right away."
The smoke was floating around, and she could hardly open her eyes. She could only open them a little to look forward with a smile, flipping the bamboo sticks with her hands covered with black spots.
"I won't eat it even if it's good. I already said I'm not in the mood to eat. Don't you understand what I'm saying?" After saying that, he spat on the ground.
"But... I've already started roasting it, it will be done quickly..." the old woman said cautiously. It was the first time she encountered such a situation, and her rough hand holding the bamboo stick clenched it tightly.
"Mom! What's wrong?" Chen Zui asked anxiously while panting.
She saw her mother's helplessness and sadness not far from the store. Her mother was so important to her...
Panic flashed in Chen You's eyes, and she opened her mouth, "You...Xiaozui, mom is fine, go home." She waved her hand.
Several men walked to the door and the old woman followed behind them. Chen You was about to speak when someone suddenly got there first.
"Hey, we haven't paid yet, and a few grown men are trying to run away with the bill?" Her mellow voice was like a hammer hitting people's hearts.
"What does it have to do with you, you idiot who hasn't even fully grown all his hair yet? Why are you meddling in other people's business? Get away from me! I haven't even eaten anything yet, so how can you say you're running away from the bill?"
Chen Zui was inevitably a little surprised. Why was it her...
Pei Xiangwan put away the black umbrella, with the tip of the umbrella sticking into the ground like a crutch, and was held in her hand. With the other hand, she lowered the hood of the sweatshirt on her head and casually patted the water droplets on the black sweatshirt.
There was no intention of moving aside at all. The fat man standing in the middle had a sticking out belly, which swayed when he spoke. If you didn't know, you would think it was his belly talking.
"You little girl are quite arrogant. You even dare to block your brother Peng's way. It seems you are tired of living. Today, let me, your big brother, teach you how to behave." After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves.
"Forget about the kids, let them go." Chen You was worried that something might happen to the girl. Health was more important than money, and it was better to have less trouble than more. He could only blame himself for being clumsy.
"That won't do, Auntie, we can't just let it go like this. These uncles are habitual offenders." Pei Xiangwan smiled, holding the umbrella handle tightly, and waited with the umbrella slightly moved.
"Damn it, Brother Peng, don't waste your time talking to her, just beat her up." The man swung his fist at Pei Xiangwan, but was dodged. He was hit by a stick before he was hit on the head, and stars appeared in his eyes.
The black umbrella slid half a circle, and the tip of the umbrella almost poked the fat man's eyes, scaring him so much that he stepped back hastily. The raindrops on the umbrella vibrated violently, and it snowed all around. Pei Xiangwan raised his foot and kicked the fat man in the belly, which was like stepping on a trampoline.
The fat man rolled on the ground, "Ouch." Like a turtle that couldn't get up, he scratched at the air with his hands.
"I've noticed that you have a stomachache for a long time. Why can't you get up, Brother Peng?" Pei Xiangwan lowered his eyes and looked at the people lying on the floor. Calculating the time, the police would be here soon.
She didn't want to get involved at first, but this was all too strange. With just a few words, Chen Zui could help her drug her and listen to Ning Xuemo's words. I'm afraid this was not the only thing that happened. Ning Xuemo must have done something else.
Chen You was pulled aside by Chen Zui. She saw that the floor of her shop was almost covered with people lying on the ground, and asked worriedly, "Is the child injured?"
Chen Zui didn't quite understand what her mother was asking. The big guys lying on the ground didn't even touch her hair. She was very grateful for Pei Xiangwan's appearance this time, but she still didn't like her.
"I'm fine, Auntie."
The sirens of police cars rang in their ears, and the police quickly got out of the car to check. The scene they saw was unbelievable. A little girl knocked down five strong men... The strong man cried and said that his teeth were knocked out. He held the big front tooth with both hands and spoke with a lisp.
"Police...Police...Police...Comrade...Please...Please...Please..."
The policeman interrupted, "Stop talking. Follow me to the police station and tell me everything." The policeman looked at Pei Xiangwan with inquiry in his eyes, "Did you really hit him?"
Pei Xiangwan nodded. "Of course, there's no one else besides me, and haven't you already reviewed the surveillance footage?"
After recording a statement at the police station, the police knew Pei Xiangwan was acting bravely, but it was too dangerous. "Next time you encounter a situation like this, call the police. Don't handle it alone. You got lucky this time, but what about next time? No one can be lucky all the time. Don't rely on luck."
"Remember this, comrade police officer."
Chen Zui walked over with Chen You. Her expression was very unnatural. The person who helped them happened to be Pei Xiangwan. Looking at this face, she felt disgusted and guilty. Chen Zui's face suddenly twitched.
Chen You couldn't read minds and couldn't tell what his daughter was thinking. He only knew that the little girl in front of him helped her and all those who were bullied by the villains.
She patted the back of Chen Zui's hand to signal her to let go. The smile on her face was very simple and kind. She stepped forward and held Pei Xiangwan's hand.
"Thank you, little girl. What's your name? If you don't mind, go to my shop and I'll treat you to a meal."
The calluses rubbed against Pei Xiangwan's palms, which were as tender as bamboo shoots, causing a slight itch, and his heart felt as if a piece was torn off, causing pain.
"You're welcome, Auntie. My name is Pei Xiangwan." He glanced at Chen Zui who was standing upright next to Chen You, and when he saw that the other party didn't respond, he said again.
"It would be embarrassing if Auntie treated me. I can't eat for free."
Chen You's mouth curled up, revealing deep gratitude. "What's there to be embarrassed about, kid? You've helped Auntie so much."
There was only one street lamp on in the darkness. It looked a little tired, flickering on and off. Raindrops like silver needles were looming and piercing Ning Xuemo's body.
Her eyes blended with the darkness, like a beast coming out to hunt in the dark, baring its fangs. Ning Xuemo stared fiercely at the tightly closed roller door, her eyes wandering over the sunken pit on the door, as if thick smoke was drifting out from it.
Ning Xuemo frowned impatiently and fanned her nose with her palm. She didn't like this in her previous life. If it weren't for the fact that she needed this chess piece to get Jiang Shiyuan, she wouldn't have come.
It's just that the present moment is unusually calm. This shouldn't be the case.
"Find out what happened here. You'd better find out clearly, otherwise..." Ning Xuemo turned around and looked coldly at the man in black behind him. "Do you understand? I don't want to say it again."
The man in black stood still, and when he heard Ning Xuemo's words, his body shivered as if blown by a cold wind.
"Okay, miss, I'll check right away."
