Chapter 274
"I'm not..."
"I know you guys are protecting each other, huh." The woman in the dress fanned her nose with her hand, a look of disgust on her face, as if she had smelled something foul. The girl behind her wanted to laugh, but after seeing the man's fierce gaze, she pursed her lips and held it back, silently lowering her eyes and tugging at the hem of her white skirt.
"Tsk tsk, it's this kind of crap again... I'll give you the rest of the money." The passenger squeezed in the carriage shook his head and jumped out of the front room with boredom: I thought it was real, but it turned out to be just empty talk.
"Okay, thank you, welcome to come again next time..." The girl driving the car kept her eyes on the gossip. She just reached out to take the money, counted it with her hands, and after making sure the amount was correct, she put it in her pocket and continued to watch the fun.
Seeing he couldn't win over the woman in the dress, the man waved his fists twice, trying to intimidate her with force. The woman smiled faintly, took off her small handbag, and pulled out a mini meteor hammer. The spikes on it gleamed coldly, frightening the man so much that he took a step back. "What's the point of fighting and killing? Let's talk business."
"Hey, this is getting interesting." The guest who was originally about to walk into the inn to book a room leaned against the door frame: Well done!
"Reason? Fine! Then let's talk about reason first." The woman in the dress sneered. "You were the one who instigated that guy to persuade Wanwan to give up her treatment, right? Who are you? You actually think that Wanwan's illness will drag that guy down, and you feel sorry for him? You don't want to live with him for Wanwan, do you?"
The woman in the Western dress cursed in the street because this person actually found Wanwan without her fiancé's knowledge while she was sick, claiming that her illness had no chance of improvement and instigated her to give up treatment. She also instigated Wanwan's fiancé to persuade him to give up treatment in front of him, completely being irrelevant.
"What the hell? That's so immoral!" Before the man could even explain himself, someone in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"That's right, she's a healthy, healthy girl. What's wrong with wanting treatment when she's sick? Why are you so nosy?" A brave onlooker cursed the man directly: "She wants to live, what's it got to do with you? Are you crazy?"
Although the scolding was reasonable, I still felt that it was a bit like an act... Bei Qiao stood up and changed his position: I feel that this position is not very safe.
Bei Qiao's premonition was correct. After she changed seats, before she could even settle down, a fight had already broken out outside. The man was stunned by the beating, and the onlookers were also shocked, feeling that the scene before them had changed too quickly: Why didn't they follow the procedure? Under normal circumstances, shouldn't there be a few words back and forth, explaining how the dispute had progressed, and then from polite words to verbal abuse, and finally to physical violence? For example, like this -
Man: Her disease is difficult to cure!
Enthusiastic person: You say it's incurable? You're a doctor? Then your medical skills are not good enough.
Man: I’m not a doctor…
Enthusiastic person: So your dad is sick! Why don’t you let him get treatment? You’re asking for a beating!
This enthusiastic person was probably impatient and started beating people without saying a word. The man wanted to dodge, but the woman in the dress blocked his escape route and he could only passively take several blows.
Bei Qiao noticed that the woman in the dress had eye contact with the enthusiastic person: Well, just pretend you didn’t see it. I guess other people do the same.
Onlookers who had the same idea: Just pretend you didn’t see it, this guy deserves a beating!
Besides those who thought the man deserved a beating, there were also those who didn't care who got beaten. Regardless of who they were, no one was willing to stand by the man, let alone help to break up the fight. Unable to defeat the man, the man could only run around to avoid the other man. The onlookers, fearing they would be affected, pushed and shoved each other, causing chaos on the street. A constable, who was patrolling nearby, rushed over to mediate, but the two men seemed to have gotten really angry and immediately embraced each other and wrestled, neither refusing to stop. If the constable hadn't forcibly separated them, one of them might have been seriously injured.
Man: I don’t want to fight, but this bastard won’t let go!
Enthusiastic people: You can get money for beating up scumbags, so cool!
The girl in white, protected by the woman in a dress, timidly poked her head out to watch the two men fight. The scene was so brutal that she was frightened and retreated back in fear after only a moment. The woman in the dress remained expressionless, and when the man wasn't paying attention, she took advantage of the situation and kicked him a few times. Her movements were so subtle that only the girl in white saw her.
The man was eventually taken away on the street by the constables because he couldn't control himself and slapped the captain of the police. The person who fought with him was also taken to the government office, but he was treated better than him and could walk there by himself instead of being carried to the government office like a pig.
The woman in the Western dress watched as the two men were held down by the police chief. She walked up to him and said a few words. Then she stood aside with her arms folded, watching the man leave coldly: It's just a beating, that's too easy for you.
"Oh, is that all?" The girl driving the carriage stood up and pounded her legs. She jumped out of the front room and asked the innkeeper where to park the carriage. "A herringbone room." She felt a little disappointed. What was going on? She felt like this gossip was missing something, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"Dan Ruo?"
"Yeah, Qiao Qiao?"
The driver who had given someone a ride was none other than Dan Ruo, Bei Qiao's old friend whom he hadn't seen in a few days. Because the previous mission group had been automatically disbanded by the system due to low activity, Dan Ruo rarely initiated private messages with Bei Qiao, so this was a long-awaited reunion for the two.
"Wow, it's been a long time!" Dan Ruo jumped over and patted Bei Qiao's shoulder: "What are you doing now?"
"Excuse me, whip." The guest who had been in the same car with Dan Ruo came over after completing the check-in process and asked Dan Ruo for the whip.
"Ah! I almost forgot! This is yours!" Dan Ruo slapped her forehead and handed the whip to the other party: "The carriage is parked behind."
"It's okay, I forgot that this is my carriage." The guest grinned: We all have the same memory as fish, so no one needs to laugh at anyone else.
"Well, the carriage has been returned to you. You should not have forgotten anything... right?" Dan Ruo pinched her chin and thought hard.
"I don't think so..." The guest put away his smile and began to think hard: the carriage, the whip... the bundle is left in the room, is there anything else?
The two of them thought and thought, looking at each other, and then they both looked out the window for inspiration. At this moment, the girl in white passed by the window, pulling the sleeve of the woman in a dress. The fluffy skirt made Dan Ruo's eyes light up: This skirt is so beautiful!
"Sister, why are you so nice to me..." The girl in white held the corner of the clothes of the woman in a dress and asked hesitantly: In order to teach such a rude guy a lesson, my sister hired so many people to cooperate and also hired someone to beat him up. It feels a bit like a waste of money. That guy doesn't deserve it.
"Why, what did you hear others say about me?"
"Well... they said you were very bad or something like that..." The girl in white opened her mouth and took a long time to utter a word: the original words were too harsh and too outrageous, and I didn't remember them very well.
"What they said was harsh, wasn't it? Because I don't care about them anymore." The woman in the dress wiped her hands with a handkerchief. "Don't worry about what they say. I'm still willing to care about you because you know your place. You're not like those ungrateful people. After I helped them, they stood there pretending to be reasonable, saying I went too far and that I should forgive them when I could... Ha, as if they weren't the ones who came to me crying and asked for help."
"Ah... then, sister, will you be sad?" The girl in white cautiously moved forward again: "If you are sad, I can make you some delicious candy."
"There's candy... Oh, should I be sad or not..."
"Hey?" The girl in white blinked: Sister, are you... acting like a spoiled child?
"Oh!" Dan Ruo and the guest simultaneously raised their hands to their hearts, "What a beautiful sisterhood!"
Bei Qiao: “…” It seems that the two of them are having a great time, and they can be distracted and forgetful at the same time.
Bangxin watched the two sisters walking by outside the window. They had completely forgotten what they were going to do before. After turning around, they smiled and said goodbye to each other. The atmosphere was so harmonious, as if they had been good friends for many years.
After seeing the guests off, Dan Ruo plopped down on the stool; "I still feel like I forgot something..."
"Where are you planning to stay today?" Bei Qiao asked casually.
"Oh, I remember! I haven't checked in yet!" Dan Ruo stood up and ran towards the counter: "A herringbone room, thank you!"
After checking in, Dan Ruo ran back to continue chatting with Bei Qiao. During this time, she had walked all the way from north to south, and had hitchhiked several times. She had met some enthusiastic friends, but also some evil people who wanted to kidnap her. "It was so scary. After that, I didn't dare to hitchhike anymore."
"So today is..."
"Today's story is different. I'm working as a coachman for someone, so it's not a ride. It just so happens that she has a carriage but can't drive, and I can drive but don't have a carriage, so I acted as a coachman and brought her here. The wages are not low!" Dan Ruo giggled, "What a coincidence! It's just that the road was a little dangerous. We waited outside the city for more than a day before being let in, and we were almost robbed. It was a close call!"
"Just the two of you?" They were too brave. Dan Ruo's skills were only decent, but the native just now was obviously an untrained person. If they met a bad guy, Dan Ruo would be fine, but the native would be in danger.
"Hey, she said she felt suffocated at home and had no money to hire someone to escort her..." When she said this, Dan Ruo felt a little insecure.
"Are you sure she didn't run away from home?" Bei Qiao raised his eyebrows: Why does it sound wrong?
"I didn't think so much..." Dan Ruo smacked her lips, and suddenly her face was filled with horror: "No way!" Thinking about it carefully, the situation when they first met was a bit strange, and she had a strong sense of stealing!
