Both of them hated nonsense and preferred action, so Li Yue directly dragged the boy to the restaurant next door. Relying on her cute face, she bought a can of goat's milk from the back kitchen of the restaurant, and then gave the milk and the fox cub to Tie Chuanjia.
Thus, a rather strange scene appeared in the tavern. In the middle of the scene was a fierce-looking Bearded Man who was eight feet tall. He held the fox cub in one hand and fed it with goat's milk in the other. His expression was calm and his movements were skillful and experienced, comparable to a professional nanny in a rich family who had been taking care of children for 30 years.
The onlookers were stunned. When they thought of the fierce appearance of the man protecting Li Xunhuan near the tavern, they silently lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.
On the other side of the same table, Li Xunhuan had always been satisfied with wine in the tavern. He did not care about what Li Yue and Tie Chuanjia were doing.
The fox cub was finally properly settled, but the boy was unwilling to accept Li Yue's money. Unable to persuade him, Li Yue could only think of other ways.
The girl's gaze passed through the tavern, from the snow on the street to the passers-by, and finally stopped at the icicles on the eaves. She suddenly clapped her hands and smiled at the boy.
"Since the ice and snow are so hateful, do you want to take revenge?"
"How do you want to take revenge?"
"Sell them."
Without waiting for the boy to respond, Li Yue pulled him and ran out. She first dragged Zhu Er, who was staying at home, out of the alley in West City. She also packed Zhu Er's bucket, basket, knife, and stool.
Then the three children came to the vicinity of West City. Li Yue took off her cloak and spread it on the ground like a stall.
The boy was responsible for fetching water and digging ice, Li Yue was responsible for brainstorming, and Zhu Er was responsible for carving ice. The three of them had a clear division of labor and openly started a business of selling ice sculptures.
When the ice sculptures made by Zhu Er were filled with cloaks and baskets, Li Yue recalled the modern world's promotional slogan and made a little summary. She opened her mouth and shouted:
"Come and take a look. Don't miss out on this opportunity. All the ice sculptures in this stall are on clearance sale, all for three copper coins!
Whatever you choose to buy is three copper coins!
You won't suffer a loss if you buy!
It's essential to visit friends, coax girls, tease children, and date Prince Charming!
Good luck is in front of you … "
Ice sculptures weren't considered rare. What was rare was the appearance of the ice sculptures. Each of them was strange and lifelike. In addition, the little girl who was shouting was eloquent and cute. When passersby passed by the ice sculpture stall, they would stop for a moment. When they took another step, their money pouches would shrink a little and they would have a small toy made of ice in their hands.
Some vendors were envious of the three children's business and imitated them to set up a stall to sell ice sculptures. Most of the sculptures were made according to the appearance of Li Yue's stall.
Although the ice sculptures they sold weren't as exquisite as Zhu Er's, they won because they were cheap. Some of them even mixed in with other small toys to sell and give away, so they more or less got some customers.
Li Yue saw that there were more and more vendors selling ice sculptures in West City. The copper coins in her stall had also piled up into a small pile. She promptly asked Zhu Er to stop and prepared to pack up and leave.
Zhu Er lowered his head and carried the wicker basket. Li Yue tried to pick up the cloak. Just as she bent down, someone suddenly blocked her way.
The person who blocked Li Yue's way was naturally the taciturn boy. He tightly held the metal plate by his waist and confronted the few hooligans surrounding their stall.
Li Yue's heart warmed. Looking at the hooligans, she felt that they were inexplicably familiar. The little fatty behind her, Zhu Er, was the first to speak of the hooligans' origins.
"Chang-Changlong Gang."
"You know that we are the Long Dragon. How dare you set up a stall without paying!
Hand over all your money!
If you don't, we'll use you as collateral! "
The nearby vendors all lowered their heads and pretended that nothing had happened. Obviously, this wasn't the first time they had encountered the Long Dragon collecting protection fees.
Li Yue turned around and looked at Zhu Er in surprise. Her gaze fell back on the hooligans.
Even the gang leader was dead, but they hadn't disbanded and turned over a new leaf. Instead, they came out to extort protection fees. Dogs really couldn't change their habits.
Bah, bah, bah. The hooligans were dogs, but she wasn't. Moreover, Tie Chuanjia and Li Xunhuan were in the nearby tavern. Facing this group of crooks in front of her, Li Yue's heart didn't waver at all. She even wanted to laugh a little.
The little girl took a deep breath and immediately sank her Qi into her dantian. She was ready to summon the Iron Protection Armor. Before she could speak, the boy in front of her had already made his move.
Li Yue saw a black shadow appear in the air. The belt and pants of the leader of the hooligans had already been separated. The boy flipped his hand a few times, and the pants of the remaining hooligans also fell to their feet.
In broad daylight, a row of adult men were taking a stroll in the downtown area. This scene was so unsightly that people couldn't bear to look at it. Some of the frightened crowd had already shouted.
The hooligans who were stimulated by the screams were panicked. They scrambled to pull up their pants as if they were competing.
Because the boy was taller than Li Yue, part of her vision was blocked. Li Yue didn't see the most unbearable scene. When she poked her head out from behind the boy, the Bearded Man, who had heard the noise, had already protected the three children behind him.
Accompanied by an earth-shattering cry and a few muffled sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground, the hooligans were once again beaten to the ground by Tie Chuanjia.
After beating up the hooligans, the Bearded Man picked up Li Yue from behind and let the little girl sit on his shoulder.
Looking at the bare buttocks all over the ground, Tie Chuanjia felt that it was really indecent. He stretched out his large palm and tried to cover the little girl's eyes. Instead, the little girl grabbed his wrist.
"Uncle Tie, if we let these hooligans continue to act recklessly, they will sooner or later find trouble with us.
I have a way to solve this once and for all. "
Although Tie Chuanjia didn't know what Li Yue was planning to do, he was willing to cooperate with the little girl to be the bad guy.
The Bearded Man moved his joints a few times and deliberately lowered his voice. "Little Miss, killing so many people in the downtown area is not easy to clean up the aftermath."
Little Fatty Zhu Er said in a timely manner, "I know how to make Corpse Dissolving Water."
The boy had grown up in the wilderness and had beasts as his companions. He knew the natural laws of survival better than anyone else. Therefore, he really thought that Li Yue, Zhu Er, and Tie Chuanjia were prepared to eliminate the future trouble. Rubbing the metal piece in his hand, he looked up at Li Yue and said, "It's better to kill them.
It'll save us trouble. I'll do it and return the favor. "
The hooligans on the ground were originally groaning in pain. After hearing the conversation between the two of them, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly. The group of strong men were all trembling like sieves.
Li Yue was already laughing in her heart, but she still forced herself not to laugh out loud. She coughed lightly and spoke with some hesitation.
"It doesn't seem good to kill them all, right?
No matter what, it's their Long Dragon Gang Leader's fault. If you want to find trouble, you should find their Gang Leader first.
By the way, where's your Gang Leader? "
The hooligans didn't dare to utter a word. Tie Chuanjia cracked his fingers, and there was another crack. The middle-aged man closest to Tie Chuanjia didn't even raise his head and quickly responded.
"Bo … No, no, no. Our old Gang Leader was killed a few months ago. The new Gang Leader was a weakling who usually didn't care about anything. Last month, he went crazy and died. None of us are willing to submit to anyone. Although we still have the Long Dragon's name, we all have our own camps and don't work with each other.
A few days ago, we had a fight with our brothers on another street for territory. "
Li Yue thought for a moment and raised her eyebrows at the middle-aged man. "So you're the boss of these people now?"
"This … I don't dare, I don't dare …"
"Since you lack a Gang Leader, what do you think about me being the Gang Leader?"
"Little Miss, please don't ask us …"
Before the word "happy" left his mouth, the middle-aged man felt something cold on his neck. He was afraid that his head would be separated from his body, so he quickly kowtowed to Li Yue.
"Little Miss!
You can be the Gang Leader!
That's great! "
"But why did you look so reluctant just now?"
"Why would I?"
The middle-aged man rolled his eyes and immediately squeezed out a smile. "It's our good fortune to have a fairy-like Little Miss to be the Gang Leader. Why would I be reluctant? I'm just happy!"
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, his brothers hurriedly chimed in. Li Yue clenched her fists and tried hard to hold back her laughter. She kept instructing them to gather their brothers when they went back. They would meet in Xi City tomorrow to discuss how to unify the Long Dragon.
None of the hooligans objected and nodded in agreement.
After the hooligans and the crowd dispersed, Li Yue realized that Zhu Er was looking at her with a very strange expression. When she looked back, Zhu Er quickly looked away and muttered something.
Li Yue was not interested in guessing what her little friend was saying. She patted Tie Chuanjia's shoulder and signaled for him to put her down. Then, she divided the money for the ice sculpture into three portions. One portion was given to the boy, and the other two portions were given to Zhu Er.
The boy did not object to this method of distribution. Instead, he began to worry about Li Yue's safety.
"Although they are flies, there are too many of them. They will also suck blood. If you want to catch all of them in one go, it may backfire.
“
Li Yue wiped her face when she heard this. The new kid she met was good at everything, but he was a little too serious. Even now, he still thought that she was going to annihilate the entire family. How did she look like such a cruel person?
She tried her best to explain to the boy that she really wanted to unify the Long Dragon as the Gang Leader. In the end, the boy said, "It's natural to annihilate the entire family after occupying the territory." She was speechless.
An explanation was a cover-up, and a cover-up was the truth.
To avoid making things worse, Li Yue did not continue to explain.
Seeing that it was getting late, the boy prepared to leave the city and go home. Before they parted, Li Yue remembered that she had not officially exchanged names with him, so she quickly introduced herself to the boy.
"My surname is Li Yue. What about you?"
"I … I don't have a name … You can call me Hoodlum."
