Chapter 047 Chapter 47

Jinse sucked in a breath of cool air and immediately closed the book with a snap.

Li Qingshan was attracted by his voice and looked up at him. Seeing his surprised expression, he was a little confused and asked curiously: "What did you see?"

"Nothing."

Jinse shook his head quickly.

He thought: If they really have a child and are not with them at this time, they must have either lost it, asked someone else to take care of it, or died. If

I rashly bring it up, wouldn't it make him sad?

If they don't have a child, I brought it up for no reason, which would simply ruin their reputation. It's better not to mention it.

After thinking it through, Jinse suppressed his surprised expression, raised his head slightly and smiled at Li Qingshan: "The story is so interesting, it scared me. What about you?"

"What?"

Li Qingshan didn't understand this, and looked confused.

Jinse smiled and said: "You also bought a book in the bookstore. How about your fairy tale? Is there anything strange? Tell me about it."

Li Qingshan came back to his senses, shook his head and said: "Nothing special, and I'm not good at retelling."

He closed the book and handed it to him, saying: "If you want to read it, read it."

"No, I haven't finished reading the one in my hand. I'm not trying to steal the book from you. You can continue reading."

Jinse pushed the book back gently and smiled.

"Okay."

Li Qingshan nodded and put the book back.

No words along the way.

Soon it was time for dinner. Jinse picked a small roadside restaurant and took Li Qingshan there.

As soon as they sat down, a waiter with a long white towel on his shoulder rushed over, took off the towel with a smile, and wiped the table.

The table was slick and shiny, and looked almost shiny, as if it had just been painted.

"What would you like to order, sirs?" The waiter

looked at the two of them while serving tea and water. He immediately recognized that the person paying was Jinse, tilted his head and asked with a smile.

"First, give each of us a pot of spring tea, a pot of wine, a plate of peanuts, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, two pounds of braised beef, and two bowls of rice."

Jinse looked at the tables around and said.

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll be right there."

The waiter nodded, very attentive, and smiled as he was about to leave. At this time, a man in a long gown appeared on the table not far away.

The man was dressed in green, with a goatee on his chin, his hair was piled up on top of his head, he was holding a wooden board in his hand, and a book under his arm.

"What's on it?"

Jinse pointed at the man on the table and asked the waiter.

The waiter smiled and said, "That's the gentleman who tells stories today.

We have many guests here, and there are gentlemen like this from time to time. Everyone gives money when they are happy to listen to them, so that they can make a living, which is also a major feature of our restaurant."

Jinse nodded.

The waiter quickly brought out the food, and the storyteller began to tell his story. The diners ate while listening to the story, and there was a happy atmosphere.

Li Qingshan was eating and listening, and was thinking it was good, when he suddenly heard a child crying not far away. He couldn't help but frown and felt annoyed. We

were just having a meal, why is there someone crying?

He frowned and turned to look at the place where the crying came from.

In the alley next to the restaurant, there was a child with dirty clothes. It looked like he had just fallen and got up from the ground.

The child rubbed his eyes and shed tears, frowned, pursed his lips, lowered his head, looked pitiful, didn't say a word, just stood there crying. Opposite

the child was a middle-aged woman, holding a branch she had just picked from the side, which was long and thin, and had many branches.

There were some green leaves like flower buds on the branch. The woman shook the branch in her hand and hit the child while scolding him angrily.

The very soft green leaves on the branch rolled and fell down, oozing out a little green juice, like tears flowing down with crying.

"You useless thing, I do all this for you, why don't you understand me? Do you want to drag down the whole family?"

The middle-aged woman said while waving the branch in her hand, hitting the child even harder.

Li Qingshan couldn't bear it any longer, frowned, and shouted to the waiter: "What's going on with those two people outside? I can't eat at all after hearing the noise!"

The waiter came over and whispered: "You don't know, the mother and son live in the alley, they quarrel day and night, the noise comes over, the neighbors are disgusted.

But that woman seems to be unaware, she still yells loudly, picks branches from other people's trees, and beats her own child, we can't do anything.

After all, it's their own business to discipline their own family. If others interfere, isn't it meddling? Others... "You can take care of today, but can you take care of tomorrow?"

Li Qingshan asked, "So you don't care?"

The waiter smiled and said, "We are open for business, we don't want to offend people, please understand us!"

Li Qingshan stood up and said, "Okay. I won't make it difficult for you. I'll go. If the food is cold when I come back, please heat it up for me. You can do it, right?"

The waiter smiled

and said, "It's a piece of cake. I can do it. Don't worry, I will do it!" Li Qingshan nodded and said to Jinse, "I'll be back soon."

Jinse nodded.

Li Qingshan walked out and pulled the child who was beaten and scolded to the side. The child suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look at Li Qingshan.

He did not struggle, but just stared blankly, tears rolling down his cheeks one by one, his sobbing became louder, and he lowered his head to wipe his tears.

The middle-aged woman frowned, pointed at Li Qingshan with the branch in her hand and asked: "Where did you come from, you thief?"

Li Qingshan sneered: "I just walked by, I thought you were blind and couldn't see."

The middle-aged woman sneered, "I see you are the blind one. What does it have to do with you that I teach my own child? You are the one who is giving orders here?"

The child shuddered.

The middle-aged woman stared at the child coldly and said loudly, "You think you are great just because someone supports you, right? If you have the guts, get out and never come back!

Otherwise, if you fall off me, you will be mine, and I will kill you, and you deserve it! Now I count to three, come here!"

The child shivered and was about to go there, but was grabbed by Li Qingshan. The child immediately stopped and leaned towards him.

The branch in the middle-aged woman's hand trembled violently, and she walked up angrily and asked loudly, "You bastard, do you think you have grown wings?"

The child shook his head, but did not speak.

Li Qingshan took a step forward, stood in front of the middle-aged woman and said, "This is not the way to manage people. If you don't want to manage, don't pretend, you disgusting person."

The middle-aged woman sneered, "You are the one who is pretending! Do you think you are so great just by saying a few words here? You don't take care of him, of course you can say it casually!"

"Since you don't want to take care of him so much, then he will follow me from now on. You don't need to care about him, and you can't control him, lest he get angry with you!"

Li Qingshan sneered.

The middle-aged woman looked at him and couldn't help laughing with ridicule: "Who do you think you are?

He is my son, not yours. What right do you have to take him away? How could he be willing to go with you? You think too highly of yourself!"

Li Qingshan's expression softened and he nodded: "So that's how it is. You think he won't be willing to go with me, but what if he is willing to go with me?"

The middle-aged woman sneered and said, "He will never be willing to go with you. If he is willing to go with you, then I will never care about him again. , he is no longer my son!"

Li Qingshan looked at the child: "Are you willing to stay here and be beaten and scolded, or come with me?"

The middle-aged woman beside him clasped her hands in front of her chest, her face full of contempt, full of confidence, and said meaningfully: "Anyone with a conscience should know how to choose!

After all, who knows whether the person who suddenly appears is good or bad, maybe he is a trafficker!"

The child moved closer to Li Qingshan and whispered: "I'll go with you."

Li Qingshan smiled: "Okay."

"You bastard! I shouldn't have kept you!"

The middle-aged woman cursed.

Li Qingshan said calmly: "You just said it yourself. If he chooses me, he will no longer be your son. I will take good care of him.

You have no right to beat or scold him again. If you do that again, I will protect him and will not be polite to you."

The middle-aged woman was a little panicked: "I just said it casually, it doesn't count!"

"You are so old, don't you know to be responsible for what you said? Once you say something, it's like spilled water. If you say it, it doesn't count. You go back on your word!

If you continue to pester me, I can't guarantee what I will do."

Li Qingshan said coldly.

"What can you do?"

The middle-aged woman looked at him suspiciously.

"I can make you unable to speak or do anything in the future. I hope you can take care of yourself."

Li Qingshan turned around and took the child back to the dining table.

The middle-aged woman was frightened and turned around to run, but then she thought: What he said may not be true! I have no basis for my words, but I must make a scene! Let them know how powerful I am! The

middle-aged woman rushed to the door of the restaurant, intending to go in and make a scene, but suddenly she saw a man in luxurious clothes sitting opposite Li Qingshan who had already sat down, and she became timid.

She secretly felt Jinse's situation, and felt that she could not beat him, so she ran away in shame.

The child looked outside and breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Qingshan added a bowl of rice to him and said to him, "Eat."

The child nodded and ate it in big mouthfuls, looking like he had been hungry for several days.

Jinse looked at them and couldn't help but think: Could it be that the Demon King and he really have a child? Most people would rather mind their own business than worry about it, so who cares about other people's children?

As the saying goes, love the house and love the dog. Could it be that he saw other people's children being scolded and thought of his own children, so he stepped forward to help?
