Ruan Xi learned the craft from the old tailor for a day, and her ability to do it at a glance really opened the old tailor's eyes. Before leaving in the evening, the old tailor's address to Ruan Xi had changed from "King of Bullshit" to "Extremely Smart".
Extremely Smart put on her schoolbag and said to the old tailor: "Master, I have learned and remembered everything you taught me today, and I have sorted out everything that needs to be sorted out. I will go back now and come back tomorrow."
After saying that, she picked up the big yellow cat at her feet, held it in her arms and stroked it twice.
The old tailor did not see her off, but just said: "Go."
Ruan Xi was satisfied after stroking the cat, put on her schoolbag and turned around to leave the tailor shop.
She was walking home along the mountain road. When she was halfway down, she suddenly saw a group of boys fighting on the hillside not far away. In this remote mountain area, where there is no school to go to, it is not uncommon for boys to fight together.
Today you hit me and tomorrow I hit you, or they make an appointment to fight together, which is a common thing.
Ruan Xiyuan didn't intend to intervene, but she suddenly felt that the boy who was being beaten looked a little familiar. In order to confirm, she stopped and looked carefully for a while, and then hurriedly shouted loudly: "Hey, what are you doing!"
Hearing the shout, several boys who were beating people turned around and looked, but did not say anything to her. They turned around and continued to use their hands and feet to slap the boy on the head and kick him hard, without mercy.
Seeing that it was useless to stop them with words, Ruan Xi took a deep breath and rushed forward to pull one of the boys away.
They were all from the same brigade, so they naturally knew each other.
The boys all knew that Ruan Xi was the granddaughter of the brigade secretary, and that her fifth uncle Ruan Changsheng was a very good fighter and was well-known in Fengming Mountain, so they didn't dare to do anything to her and didn't hit her.
Ruan Xi pulled the boys who were beating her away and frowned slightly and said, "What are you doing?"
Not hitting her didn't mean that her attitude would be good. One of the boys said unceremoniously, "His father is from the five black categories, and he is the son of the five black categories. We are here to educate the son of the five black categories, what's it to you?"
Ruan Xi held her breath and looked at the boy who was beaten. It was Ling Yao for sure. He had been shielding his face with his arms, and now he kept that posture without raising his head. His hair was messy and there were many muddy footprints on his body.
Ruan Xi couldn't help but clench her fists.
Before she could say anything else, Ling Yao bent over, shielded his face with his hands and said, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine." As
soon as he spoke, the boy next to him laughed and said, "Hey, so you're not dumb? We thought you were dumb. If you're not dumb, you should be a fool, stupid."
Ruan Xi held her breath and looked at the boy who spoke, and said with a gloomy face, "Shut up!"
The boy who spoke put away the smile on his face, "I won't shut up, what can you do to me? You The son of the five black categories is standing out. There is something wrong with your class stance. Don't think that we can't punish you just because your grandfather is the brigade secretary."
Ruan Xi pinched the strap of his schoolbag and stared at him, "Show me
how you punish someone." The boy was about to speak again, but his companion pulled him back and whispered, "If you dare to punish her, Ruan Changsheng will not let you go. He can beat you to death. Why should we compete with a fool? Let's go quickly."
The boy hesitated and didn't compete with Ruan Xi anymore.
He and the other boys exchanged glances, turned around and left.
Seeing them walk away, Ruan Xi retracted his gaze and looked at Ling Yao and said, "Why don't you fight back? You just let them beat you like this. They will see that you are easy to bully because you don't say anything, so they will definitely bully you."
Ling Yao put down his arm that was shielding his face and whispered, "Don't worry about me. It will cause you trouble."
Seeing him like this, Ruan Xi couldn't help but feel distressed. She raised her hand and combed his messy hair twice, "My fifth uncle is the leader of Fengming Mountain. They "They dare not do anything to me, don't worry."
Ling Yao did not hide, as if he accepted Ruan Xi's concern, holding his breath and hesitating for a moment, "I... do I have any injuries on my face?"
Ruan Xi looked at his face carefully, "No."
Ling Yao breathed a sigh of relief, "No, that's good."
Ruan Xi thought for a while, "Are you afraid that your parents will see you when you go back?"
Ling Yao looked at her and nodded, "Yes."
Ruan Xi understood that he thought that he would just have to endure it and it would be over, anyway, he would not be beaten to death. His family background was not good and was discriminated against. His parents usually lived cautiously and did not dare to cause any trouble. Naturally, he would not cause trouble for them, and the best way to avoid trouble was to endure it.
Ruan Xi did not say anything else, and reached out to help him clean the muddy footprints on his body.
After cleaning them up, she helped him drive the pigs and walked a distance with him.
When she got home, Ruan Xi was still thinking about this matter. She didn't even put down her schoolbag, but dragged Ruan Changsheng outside and said to him, "Fifth Uncle, please help me warn Gao Haiyang and his gang not to bully Ling Yao in the future."
"Ling Yao?"
Ruan Changsheng thought for a while, "The idiot in the stilt house?"
Ruan Xi raised her hand and patted him, "Why do you say he is a idiot?"
Ruan Changsheng smiled and said, "It's not me who said that, it's everyone else in the village who said that. He doesn't even talk to anyone. He just goes out to herd pigs and sheep with a book all day long. He looks like a fool with a problem here."
He pointed to his head, implying that Ling Yao had an IQ problem.
Ruan Xi glared at him, "Can he understand the book or is he a fool?"
Ruan Changsheng still smiled, "Nerd."
Ruan Xi stopped talking nonsense with him, "Just tell me whether you will help or not?"
Ruan Changsheng said, "Help! Of course I will help! How dare I not agree to what my niece asked? I will spread the word tomorrow that I will protect that nerd from now on, and no one will dare to bully him anymore." Ruan
Xi was satisfied and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Uncle Wu."
Ruan Changsheng patted her on the head, "Let's go and have dinner."
Ruan Xi raised her hand and touched the place where he had patted her, and followed him into the house.
