Chapter 135: You have to hit hard

"Burning books to keep warm?"

Gu Dan raised his brows again.

How could such a wealthy family be so arrogant!

But if you think about it carefully, Cang's savior is Mo Qiu, the one who raised him is Gu Dan, his godmother is Lin Xiaoyi, and behind him are two martial arts masters and a queen! This background is completely not missing anyone in the whole Dayue.

But the three-year-old kid didn't have any complete concept of these things. At this moment, he was lying on Xun Ke's legs and crying heart-wrenchingly and hoarsely.

No matter how strong his background is, a naughty kid will still be beaten!

Gu Dan squatted down, tapped Cang's little head, and asked, "Who taught you to burn books if you don't want to study?"

"I don't!"

Cang burst into tears, tears streaming down his face, "Nannan said she was cold, so I tried to find a way to keep her warm!"

Nannan is the little playmate Xiaoying found for him. She lives next door to the Gu family’s courtyard. It is very close and you can reach her by just turning a corner.

"She's cold so she wants to burn books? There's already chopped firewood in the yard. Why don't you take it?"

Xun Ke's face was dark. How much firewood can a book exchange for? It's no problem to use it for half a winter!

This prodigal child still dares to quibble, he deserves to be punished!

"I can't hold it!"

Cang wiped his tears and shouted righteously.

"That makes sense."

Gu Dan hesitated for a moment, "Then why don't you get her some clothes?"

"Nannan said that she couldn't wear nice clothes because they would be snatched away by others!"

Cang immediately answered, aggrievedly saying: "I had no choice but to take the book!"

"Um?"

Gu Dan seemed slightly surprised.

Although there is war outside, tragedies happen all the time.

But this is the imperial capital of Dayue after all, and it is the place where the country has provided support for more than two hundred years.

The imperial capital is the best place in the world. Although the world is in a state of collapse, the public security in the imperial capital can still be maintained, and it is even better than before! Things that may have been turned a blind eye in the past, now if caught, will definitely not be forgiven.

Moreover, this area is considered quite good in the imperial capital. In the previous life, it was within the second ring. Who would be so stupid as to come here to bully others? Or even rob? To put it bluntly, if you throw a brick on someone's head here, it will most likely hit a few royal relatives or high-ranking officials in the court.

Without status and strength, it is almost a pipe dream to buy and keep a house in this area.

He has lived here for nearly twenty years, and has never heard of any family in the neighborhood being bullied by some blind villain.

At most, there were some conflicts between neighbors, but they were all trivial matters, and most of the time they were harmonious.

It is precisely for this reason that no matter how raging the war is outside, as long as you don't go out, this place can actually be considered to be somewhat "peaceful and happy", unless the situation has collapsed to the point where even the public security in the imperial capital can no longer be maintained, then that is when a country will be completely destroyed.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. In Gu Dan's opinion, Dayue should be able to last another ten years without any problems.

You know, it's not just the food prices that are skyrocketing now. The prices of houses in the imperial capital, especially those near the imperial palace, are also soaring to an outrageous level.

The houses are still the same houses, but the hidden value has greatly increased!

In troubled times, a place where one can find a few years of peace is extremely precious.

Moreover, the biggest manifestation of the rebound is that there is some panic in the imperial capital. Who dares to mess with the already angry officials at this time?

Report to the authorities now, and they will really crack down on it!

"What's going on?"

Gu Dan looked at Xun Ke and asked.

He has not stayed in the courtyard much these days. He often goes to the Sutra Library to discuss and study the possible existence of the innate realm with Master Ji.

Elder Ji's life span is about to come to an end. According to Gu Dan's judgment, based on the current situation, Elder Ji will only have less than five years left!

Once you start to impact the innate realm, there is no way back.

That is a realm that has no records or references in any books. Even though Master Ji is knowledgeable and has seen countless strange people and things in the Sutra Library, he has never heard of anyone reaching that peak.

The two masters have often gotten together in the past two years. Sometimes Gu Dan listens to Master Ji's experiences in martial arts, and sometimes he accompanies Master Ji in deducing a deeper level. It is inevitable that they pay less attention to the courtyard, not to mention the changes in the surrounding neighbors.

"A while ago, my aunt's family did hold a funeral, and Xiaoying and I went over to help her."

Xun Ke scratched his head and said, "I remember it was because my family was out doing business and was robbed. The other aunts didn't say much, and it was not easy to ask. It has been more than a month since then."

Gu Dan nodded slightly. It was no wonder that something had happened at home.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

When doing business, there is often debt on credit. Once you are unable to make ends meet or encounter an unexpected event and lose all your money, won’t you have to pay the price?

It is only natural to pay back debts, and even if the case is brought to the government, there is nothing to say.

"Although this little guy is not very sensible, he is still kind-hearted."

Reaching out and taking Cang off Xun Ke's legs, Gu Dan said, "Forget about this beating, it's just this once, it won't happen again! You can't carry the firewood by yourself, can't you find someone to help you? Who would blame you for wanting to do good deeds? Why do you need to sneak around and carry books to burn them for others!"

Gu Dan did not stop Cang from doing good deeds. Cang was still too young, so it was understandable that he could not distinguish the value of items. He believed that this double fight would be enough to teach him a lesson.

Gu Dan then said to Xun Ke, "Tell me the names of the books he burned, and I will go directly to the Sutra Library in the palace to bring them back to you tomorrow. If there are any other books you want to read, you can also tell me. Why not take a few?"

These words are said in a casual and carefree manner, but the main point is arrogance!

Cang was overjoyed to learn that he was spared a beating. He smeared a mouthful of saliva and tears on Gu Dan's face and shouted happily: "I knew that Master is the best!"

"Mr. Gu"

Xun Ke looked at Gu Dan, who had a kind expression, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Um?"

He wiped Cang's tears with his sleeve and looked over.

"That. Cang also took your booklet and burned it." Xun Ke said in a low voice.

Gu Dan's hand that was wiping Cang's tears suddenly paused, and he tilted his head slightly and asked in an unusually calm voice, "Which booklet are you talking about?"

"It's the book you often read in the yard before." Xun Ke said again.

Gu Dan stood up silently and stared at Cang who was happily hugging his legs and rubbing against him.

His hand slid down to his waist and pulled out his belt.

Gu Dan said seriously: "If the child is disobedient, he must be hung up and beaten! How can we just let it go like this? We must teach him a lesson!!!"

Cang: “?!”
