"What can we do? Fight!"
Su Li shouted, jumped up, and kicked away the person who was trying to catch the boy.
The other party fell to the ground and stopped moving.
Actually, fainted? Fell?
Crispy college student?
Su Li was shocked. Is this bandit so weak? He falls down at the first touch?
The bandits on the opposite side were also shocked. They didn't expect that this woman who looked so thin actually knew martial arts?
"Come on! Catch them both!"
Su Li didn't care about anything else and picked up a stick beside him and started fighting with them.
Ji Tingyou's eyes widened at the side. He knew that Su Li was good at fighting, at least he didn't beat her that night, but he didn't know she was so tough!
He was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses. He also followed Su Li's lead and picked up a stick beside him to join the fight. After all, he had learned martial arts, although he hadn't achieved anything special...
For a moment, the alley was filled with the flashes of swords and sabers...
Just as Su Li knocked down the last man in front of him with a stick, he turned around and saw a bandit raising a long knife to chop at the boy.
“Go to hell!”
"careful!"
She quickly jumped up and kicked the bandit away with a side kick, then followed up with a hit with a stick. The bandit stopped moving and fainted completely.
Ji Tingyou was still in shock. He staggered back two steps and leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.
"That was a close call! That was a close call..." He was almost there, almost going to go down and reunite with his Ji family ancestors...
He looked at Su Li, who had just finished a fight and was still calm and breathless, his eyes full of admiration and gratitude.
"Young Master!"
At this moment, a dozen men suddenly rushed into the alley, all holding long swords and wearing the same style of dark blue robes. They looked like guards of some official.
"Ah Qi! Why are you here?" Ji Tingyou was so excited when he saw his own guards that he almost cried. "Did my grandfather ask you to come and save me?"
"Yes, sir. I and others have been searching for you for a month and finally found you. How are you? Are you injured?"
Ji Tingyou looked at the unconscious man stumbling on the ground and said angrily, "I'm fine, Ah Qi, these are the people who kidnapped me! They almost killed me just now!"
"They also looted my jade pendant!"
Ah Qi's eyes suddenly turned cold when he heard that, and then with a glance, the people behind him immediately searched the bandits. After a while, they found the jade pendant, which was a white round jade pendant with a red string tied on it.
Ji Tingyou took the jade pendant and handed it to Su Li: "Mrs. Pei, thank you. My name is Ji Tingyou, and I am the eldest grandson of Duke Ji of the capital. If you encounter difficulties in the future, remember to come to the capital to find me. Keep this jade pendant."
Duke of Ji?
There is indeed a Duke named Ji in the capital. In the original novel, Duke Ji is a loyal and patriotic person. He hits it off with Pei Ji at first sight and also helps Pei Ji when he avenges the original owner's mother and daughter.
Unexpectedly, the young man's identity was even more important than she expected.
However, she vaguely remembered that the original novel mentioned that the eldest grandson of Duke Ji had died two years ago. Calculating the time, it was around this time. Could it be that he died this time? And she had traveled through the book and saved him by accident?
She didn't hesitate and accepted the jade pendant without hesitation.
Her current identity is Pei Ji's wife. When Pei Ji goes to Beijing in the future, she will definitely go with him. According to the original plot, there is still a knife on her neck. One more favor is equivalent to one more guarantee. That is the Duke's Mansion. Why is she being so pretentious?
Seeing her accept the jade pendant so readily, Ji Tingyou was actually very happy.
"Young Master, the Crown Prince is here too. He's on another street with a group of people..."
Ji Tingyou was surprised: "My father is here too?" He paused and said, "Then let's go find him."
Then he looked at Su Li again: "Pei family... Sister Su, I'm leaving. If you encounter any problems in the future, remember to come find me..."
"Okay, see you later..."
"Take them all away!" Ah Qi said.
So a group of people quickly tied up the bandit and surrounded Ji Tingyou and walked out of the alley.
Su Li put the jade pendant away, dusted off his body and walked out of the alley.
Not having to go to Los Angeles saved her a lot of time. She relaxed in the town, strolling around for nearly the whole morning, bought drawing paper, paints, bacon, fresh meat, fish, meat buns, candies and snacks, and finally bought three strings of candied haws.
When I passed by a lantern shop, I remembered that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming.
So I went into the shop and thought about buying two lanterns for my two children to play with.
I picked and chose for a long time but couldn't find anything I particularly liked.
"Boss, are there any lanterns that haven't been painted? I want to go back and paint them myself."
The shop owner was young, looking about twelve or sixteen years old. He was very friendly when he heard this: "Sir, please tell me what style you want. I will go to the warehouse and get you a blank one."
Su Li picked a small oval one: "This is it, give me two."
He picked out a large pumpkin-shaped lantern and said, "Give me two of these too."
"Okay, wait a moment!" He said, pushing open the back door and going in with a swift movement. After a while, he came out with four blank lanterns with a light apricot background. "Thirty cents in total."
"Scholarly lady!"
"It's really you, what a coincidence!"
Just after paying the money, I saw Qin Qianqian and a little girl I didn't know walk in.
Qin Qianqian, Su Li remembered her, the first little girl whose portrait was painted for free under the old peach tree.
"Miss Qin, what a coincidence!" Su Li greeted with a smile.
Qin Qianqian turned to look at the lantern shop owner and smiled, "Cousin, this is the talented lady I told you about, the talented woman who painted my portrait!"
