Chapter 495: Jianghu affairs
Jiang Yao said coldly, "What if I don't give it to you?"
"Then don't blame us for being rude!" The young man exchanged a glance with his companions and made an effort to capture Jiang Yao.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yao snorted coldly, grabbed his wrist with her backhand, and pushed him hard, knocking several people to the ground.
The crowd watching the excitement was in an uproar: "If I'm not mistaken, this is someone from the Zhou Family Escort Agency."
"I recognized him the moment you mentioned it. Isn't he Zhou Chenghe, the eldest disciple of the Zhou Family Escort Agency?"
"They've really gotten into trouble this time. I thought weak women were easy to bully, but I didn't expect...tsk tsk."
…
Seeing himself being pushed down by a woman in public, the man from the Zhou Family Escort Agency immediately became furious, his face flushing red. "How dare you hurt me! Do you believe I will make sure you don't survive in Qingzhou?"
"Everyone, calm down." Hu Xin'er found the right opportunity and said tentatively, "It's not a big deal. Why don't you all take a step back?"
"Who are you?" Zhou Chenghe didn't act too fiercely when he saw that she was a pregnant woman, but his expression was extremely bad.
Hu Xin'er smiled awkwardly: "My family has been going through a lot of trouble recently, so my family members are a little bit bad-tempered. I hope you can forgive me."
Before Zhou Chenghe could say anything, Jiang Yao said unexpectedly, "They are men without any sense of propriety. They disturbed my sister just for a few meals. Xin'er, why bother to say anything to them? Just give them a beating."
"Auntie!" Hu Xin'er quickly tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Mom definitely doesn't want us to get entangled with outsiders. If you really start fighting with them, Mom will be so worried."
Jiang Yao also knew that she would become excited when encountering matters related to her sister. After hearing this, she forced herself to calm down, but she still had a bad expression on her face. She flicked her sleeves and went into the house.
"Bang!" The door was closed tightly, leaving Hu Xiner alone outside.
"Look at her attitude!" Zhou Chenghe waited until she entered the house before getting up from the ground angrily.
Hu Xin'er smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't blame me, hero. We really have feelings for that owl and can't hand it over."
"You are a reasonable person, better than that crazy woman just now." Zhou Chenghe felt that his face was damaged and his face was still ashen.
He spat at the closed door.
Mu Qing protected his wife to prevent these young men from suddenly attacking her.
He bowed to everyone and said, "I'm sorry for what happened just now."
"Can you get rid of us with just an apology?" Zhou Chenghe didn't even look at him. "I must catch that flat-haired beast today and have a drink with him!"
If Erdong still had room to maneuver when he defended Owl, Jiang Yao's words and actions just now had offended them to the core.
Hu Xin'er still wanted to try to make amends: "You heroes are all sentimental people, so I'm sure you wouldn't care about that beast. I have some money here, how about it as an apology to you all?"
She thought she had said it as thoughtfully and appropriately as possible, but Zhou Chenghe was furious when he heard it: "Who do you think we brothers are? I tell you, we are fighting for our dignity, not money."
Hu Xiner frowned in embarrassment, thinking about how to solve this matter.
Mu Qing whispered, "I'll take care of this matter."
He looked at those people and said, "Since you are not seeking wealth, then you are seeking the spirit of the martial arts world. The martial arts world is the martial arts world, we can go out and fight."
Hu Xiner was dumbfounded. Is this his way of solving the problem?
But before she could speak to stop them, Mu Qing led a few people outside the inn.
Soon, a crowd of onlookers gathered around.
At first, those people still had some dignity. After praising Mu Qing for his courage with a forced smile, they took action.
It was naturally no problem for Mu Qing to deal with several people. Seeing that they could not win, they attacked together. In the end, they could only be beaten black and blue and went back in shame.
Before leaving, he said something harsh: "Boy, don't be so arrogant, this matter is not over today!"
The shopkeeper originally thought that this family was troublesome and didn't want to do business with them, but when he saw that Mu Qing was so good at fighting, he could only shrink his neck and groan inwardly.
How come a killer showed up in his inn? What a bad luck!
Hu Xiner never expected that the matter would be resolved in this way.
She stood by the window and let out a long sigh.
Looking back, he saw the worry still lingering on Jiang Yao's face, and couldn't help but advise, "Aunt, we need to keep a low profile when we're out in public, and you need to change your temper too."
Jiang Yao pursed her lips and said, "They're just a bunch of bullies. Seeing a few weak women here, it would be strange if they didn't come and beat us up. If anyone is to blame, blame Erdong. He can't even control a beast."
The owl stayed firmly on Erdong's shoulder, with a look of wisdom in its eyes. Perhaps it didn't want to hear itself being called a beast, so it cooed.
Jiang Yao was annoyed by what she heard: "If you scream again, I'll pluck out all your hair!"
The owl loosened its claws, spread its wings and flew up. It circled below the ceiling and kept calling.
Erdong said helplessly, "Sister Jiang, please be reasonable. I'm tied up in my room every day. It's hard for me to eat, drink, defecate or urinate. How can I take care of my owl?"
"If you feed it well, will it go out to hunt for food?" Jiang Yao looked at him with disdain.
Erdong choked, "I can't possibly give it my own food, right? How about this, I go out and perform to earn some money and then come back to support you guys?"
His eyes were filled with a desire for freedom.
Hu Xin'er and Jiang Yao said in unison: "No!"
Although Erdong is not dangerous, if their whereabouts are accidentally revealed to the prince or Liu Se's people, the Lu family will be in trouble.
Moreover, now is the critical moment of face-changing and there is no room for any mistakes.
Erdong's expression quickly became depressed. "Fellow countryman, we are from the same place after all. I don't ask you to be too nice to me, but you can't always treat me like this, right?"
He couldn't help but complain, "We both traveled through time, but how come you got to marry a good husband and achieve freedom in life, while I have to be exploited by you? This is too unreasonable."
"I'm sorry," Hu Xin'er said apologetically, "Isn't it because we haven't found the right time to let you go yet? Once we return to the village, you'll be free."
Erdong lay back immediately: "Women's mouths are deceitful!"
Hu Xin'er spread her hands: "If that's what you're saying, I really can't help it."
She suddenly had an idea: "How about this, do you have a dream of making money that you want to realize? As long as it's achievable, I will do my best to make it come true for you!"
She thought her idea was brilliant.
