Chapter 409 Coward



Facts have proven that the sixth sense is truly amazing.

The originally empty and quiet second-floor building was now filled with bustling sounds, and even more unbearable shouting and cursing could be heard.

The two carpenters following behind also had strange looks on their faces at this moment, and stopped the carriage behind the two men without knowing the truth.

The already dilapidated door was now squeezed even harder by the crowd, as if it would collapse if a gust of wind blew through it.

After Xiaoguo was carried off the horse by Jiang Shanhe, he went straight inside.

The originally empty room was now filled with people, men and women, young and old, some coming to watch the fun, some coming to collect debts, it was very lively.

Someone saw Xiaoguo and suddenly shouted, "They're back!"

There was a sudden silence in the air, and Xiaoguo didn't even have to worry about how to get in, as people made way for her.

Xiaoguo looked at the unobstructed path in front of him and the sloppy bastard thing at the end.

Shu Botong seemed to have just noticed Xiaoguo's appearance. He smiled at her bravely a few times and then continued to rock the "baby" in his hands.

Jiang Shanhe came over at this time, gently stroking Xiaoguo's back to help her breathe.

Shu Botong carefully counted the things in his hands, from small items like food and drinks to big items like clothes and shoes, all of them were 'bought' by him, so of course they were very valuable.

Shu Botong didn't say anything, but that didn't mean that others didn't say anything. As soon as they saw Xiaoguo appear, they immediately surrounded her and complained to her in a flurry.

"You finally showed up. I've been waiting for this since last night. This person took something from my house without paying. You should pay me right away."

"That's right, you came to my house without saying a word, stole a pair of shoes and ran away. I've been waiting for a long time. Hurry up and pay me first."

"He is still wearing our fabric, which is expensive. You are the one who is taking care of him, so hurry up and give him some money."

"Also, he bought two taels of wine at our house, but he hasn't paid yet. What do you think..."

"He also took two layers of meat from our buns, which cost thirty-five cents in total..."

"And my family's burning paper ingot candles, a total of ..."

"Alas, there is also our family..."

"Give us the money! We have been waiting for this since this morning."

"Look, he's holding my apples in his hand. We just brought in this morning. There were only a few of them, and he took them all. Hurry up and give him the money!"

"That's right, give me the money quickly..."

There are many kinds of things, not only food, drinks and clothes, but also things for burning incense, paper money and candles to worship ancestors.

Xiaoguo's head hurt from the messy noise. He was really impressed by Shu Botong. How could he do so many things in such a short time?

Jiang Shanhe saw Xiaoguo's impatience, so he called everyone out to talk to him.

Seeing that someone was in charge of the matter, a group of people followed him out in a hurry. The people who were watching the show also followed him out to watch the fun. At this time, only Xiaoguo and Shu Botong were left in the room.

Shu Botong sensed the strange atmosphere and paused as he was groping for the cloth. Then he pretended nothing happened and continued to count the things in his hands.

These things are all useful to him. Since someone is taking care of them, it would be a waste if he doesn't use them, and it would be a waste if he does.

I have already given her the second floor of the house, so it is only right for her to spend some money and take care of herself. I don't do this often, but this time is a special case, and I won't do it again.

Xiao Guo let out a long breath, then said quietly, "There should be a limit to how crazy and stupid you can act."

Shu Botong paused for a moment, and it took him a long while to react. He looked at her from behind his dark face, but still didn't say anything, as if he didn't understand what she meant.

"Heh~" Xiao Guo sneered. She really misjudged him. Damn his split personality. She should have seen through it a long time ago. He was just pretending to be crazy and stupid.

"He couldn't stand people's eyes, so in order to escape reality, he pretended to be a madman and ate and drank secretly. He really thought no one knew. The eldest son of Mr. Shu's family, the famous top scholar Shu Botong, who was so majestic in the past, could do such a shameless thing. It really makes people learn."

The storyteller Botong could still pretend to be happy, but after hearing what happened next he completely collapsed.

Hearing that Xiaoguo told him the identities of the eldest son and the top scholar, which made him feel ashamed, Shu Botong could no longer pretend. The identities he had been avoiding were now exposed by a little woman like her. Only he could understand his true feelings.

At this time, Shu Botong's eyes were red and his body was shaking like chaff. Those things that he had deliberately forgotten reappeared before him again and again. The exquisite and expensive brocade cloth in his hand had been deformed by his strong pinching.

Seeing that Xiaoguo still seemed dissatisfied, he continued, "Look at you now, you are dirty and not as glorious as you were back then. Think about it, you had a successful career and a prosperous family, and the best years of your life were gone in a flash. You fell from the high altar to the shit. How do you feel?"

“Stop talking!!”

Shu Botong's eyes turned red, as if he was going to bite Xiaoguo if she continued talking.

Xiao Guo was not afraid of him and sneered, "You dare to touch me? Just try."

Not to mention that he still has to rely on himself to survive, Jiang Shanhe is still outside. If he dares to touch himself, he will definitely be in trouble.

Even if Xiaoguo gave him three chances of courage, he would not dare to touch himself.

Shu Botong clenched his palms tightly and breathed heavily. His dark face turned black and red, perhaps from anger or shame.

All the things he didn't want to face were said lightly by her. How could she do this? !

This was the first time that Xiaoguo showed his real imposing aura towards him. He slowly approached and looked him up and down carefully and critically.

Shu Botong didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a little timid. He was obviously used to this kind of staring, but why did the other party's staring make him so embarrassed that he wanted to hide.

Watching him gradually lower his head, Xiao Guo felt helpless and a little sad.

"Stained~" Xiao Guo couldn't help but smack his lips, and said in a cold voice, "It's not easy to beg for food with the skin of a top scholar. Do you think you can get away with it by changing into a black skin? Shu Botong, you are weak and incompetent, how long do you want to escape?"

"If you can't even face yourself, what's the point of living?"

Xiao Guo was about to turn around and leave after he finished speaking. If he really had split personality, then he really deserved sympathy, but pretending to be crazy and avoiding the world really made people look down on him.

Shu Botong, who pretended to be crazy and stupid, probably fooled himself in the past. At this time, he must have believed that he was a lunatic.

"You don't understand anything!"

Shu Botong finally said it the second before she was about to step out. She knew nothing and was not worthy of warning herself. She knew nothing!

Xiao Guo stopped walking, snorted without turning his head, and said, "Humph, I don't understand. Who can understand the thoughts of a coward?"

Shu Botong seemed to be struck by the word "coward" and ran out with a bunch of things in his arms.

He had to pass by Xiaoguo when he went out. He still had a bit of rationality and did not touch her. Even though she said a lot of unpleasant things that he could not accept, he still carefully avoided her and then ran away.

Jiang Shanhe had also dealt with that group of people by this time and walked over.

Xiao Guo retracted her gaze, looked at him tenderly and asked, "How much silver did you give?"

Jiang Shanhe counted with one hand, and Xiaoguo sighed. She knew it definitely couldn't start with "wen". Even for that piece of cloth, it had to start with the word "liang".
