Chapter 425: Hiring a Bodyguard



for example……

Xiao Yu had not walked far along the flowing water ditch when he sensed something in the water. He quickly went into the water and the moment he saw the figure at the bottom of the river, he threw the person, who was only breathing his last breath, out of the water.

At the same time, there was a cold suction force in the water.

Xiao Yu channeled the power of the stars into the copper coin sword. The suction immediately subsided.

At the same time, he heard Liu Hai's mother calling out.

Xiao Yu: ...You came just in time!

When Liu Hai's mother arrived, Liu Hai was lying by the water coughing. Seeing her son's appearance, she was shocked.

Liu Hai was a little confused. He only remembered that he pushed Xiao Yu into the water, then ran away in fear, and then fell into the water. He felt like he was going to die.

As for what is going on now, he has no idea.

Just as I was thinking about how to answer my mother, Xiao Yu, all wet, came running towards me aggressively, carrying his bucket and hook.

"Auntie Liu, your Liu Hai is so mean. He couldn't catch any fish himself, and when he saw me catch one, he pushed me into the water? If he hadn't called me, I wouldn't have come. Why is he like this?" Xiao Yu said, and then looked at his son's guilty look.

Aunt Liu's worry immediately turned into a smooth talk: "Little Fish, our Dahai was just playing a prank on you. Look at you, are you okay? Come to my house tonight and I'll make you some steamed buns."

Children are easy to fool. Although Xiao Yu looked angry, he did not insist on anything. He just threw Liu Hai's things and said, "I'm not going to your house. My mother said that I'm not allowed to go out at night. If Liu Hai hadn't called me five times, I wouldn't go out. Humph! I won't play with him anymore." After that, he ran away.

Aunt Liu was watching with a smile, wondering whether she should turn the situation around, when she saw the ruffian-looking boy from the second son's family of the Xiao family's eldest branch, looking at her from afar with a half-smile on his face.

Aunt Liu was embarrassed for a moment, but didn't dare to think too much about it. She thought everyone swimming in the South Pond had probably seen this. If she said anything, the women from the Xiao family would definitely come to her house to make a scene.

Aunt Liu pretended to pinch her son's ear and gave him a few words of instruction before taking him away.

Xiao Zheng was filled with sarcasm when he saw this scene. He had heard that his cousin had seen Aunt Liu, and fearing he would be bullied, he had followed him. His mother had also told him that Aunt Liu liked to confuse right and wrong. Judging from her expression just now, if he hadn't come, his cousin would definitely be wrongly accused tomorrow.

I'll tell my mom about it when I get home. Xiao Zheng thought, I can't let my cousin get bullied. My cousin is already pitiful enough looking after the house alone!

After swimming in the afternoon, Xiao Zheng and a few young boys helped send Xiao Yu home. Xiao Yu warmly treated them to fried fish and steamed buns that he made himself.

The little boy was old enough to eat, and the fried fish and steamed buns were both farm products, so no one thought much of it.

Xiao Yu invited them to eat fish at his home in the evening.

Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "If you can really cook the fish for us, I can guarantee that no one will dare to bully you in school from now on."

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes: "Who are you looking down on? I steamed these buns myself, and I fried the fish myself."

"So amazing!" Xiao Zheng was surprised. He could only cook rice and stir-fry some vegetables.

Xiao Yu smiled: "Of course, I can also bake cakes. Last time I gave it to my second aunt, she said it was delicious. If I wasn't so small, I would have sold it on the street."

"You still want to do business?" Xiao Zheng smiled.

Liu Mingdao from the same village said, "I seem to have heard that Xiao Yu used to sell vegetables on the street."

Xiao Yu nodded: "I sold more than a hundred vegetables last time, but I used all the money I earned to buy meat."

The other fatter one, Li Wei, said, "I heard about it. Now everyone knows that Xiao Yu is delicious. They even dare to buy a chicken for themselves."

Xiao Yu's expression was embarrassed for a moment, and he argued: "I'm still young now, and I can only grow faster if I eat. I won't talk to you anymore, cousin, go to the backyard and help me pick some peppers and your favorite vegetables, and I'll go clean the fish."

Xiao Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll take care of the fish, you go pick the vegetables."

"So what kind of food do you like? Can you handle spicy food?"

"Of course I can!"

"That's good. Then I'll make you a big plate of grilled fish." Xiao Yu said, and went to the backyard with a small basket.

Xiao Zheng looked at the things in the bucket and asked if they wanted to sell them. When he learned that they were all going to be eaten, he asked his friends to help him clean them up.

With the intention of finding a bodyguard, Xiao Yu prepared fried shrimps, shrimp dumplings, stir-fried loach and grilled fish for Xiao Zheng and the other three boys.

Although the grilled fish was not baked, when the finished grilled fish came out of the pan, the four boys, who were about eleven or twelve years old, were still stunned.

Xiao Zheng was thinking a lot as he looked at the grilled fish. Judging from the color of the grilled fish, he felt that if it tasted good, he would definitely make a lot of money if he turned it into a business.

What a pity they are so small!

"Try it quickly, it's a little spicy, but absolutely delicious." Xiao Yu boasted.

Xiao Zheng and the others were very considerate and picked up their chopsticks to start eating.

“Oh my god!”

"Depend on!"

"tasty!"

“This is so delicious!”

"Brother, you're awesome!"

"With this dish, I think I can eat eight bowls of rice." The speaker was Li Wei.

Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Go home and eat. You've already eaten meat, and you still want rice."

"That's right." Liu Ming agreed.

Li Liang said, "Aren't dumplings rice? These dumplings are delicious too. Much better than what my mom makes. Each dumpling has a shrimp. I've never eaten anything this delicious in my life."

Xiao Zheng tasted them one by one, and became more and more interested.
