Dear, your purchase ratio hasn't reached the corresponding percentage. You'll have to wait to see the update.
Mwah.
Thus, a rather strange scene appeared in the tavern.
In the middle of the picture was an eight-foot-tall Bearded Man with a fierce face.
He held the fox cub in one hand.
He fed the cub goat milk with the other.
His expression was calm and composed, and his technique was skillful and experienced.
He was comparable to a professional nanny who had taken care of children for thirty years in a rich family.
The surrounding drinkers were dumbfounded.
They recalled the appearance of the ferocious dog that the burly man had used to protect Li Xunhuan near the tavern.
They silently lowered their heads and did not dare to comment.
On the other side of the same table, Li Xunhuan had always been satisfied with wine in the tavern. He did not care what Li Yue and Tie Chuanjia were doing.
The fox cub was finally properly settled, but the boy refused to accept Li Yue's money. She could not persuade him.
Li Yue could only think of other ways.
The girl's gaze passed through the tavern.
From the remaining snow on the street to the passers-by, she finally stopped on the icicles on the eaves.
She clapped her hands.
She 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 the other party and ran out. She first dragged Zhu Er out of the alley in West City. She also packed the buckets, baskets, knives, and stools in Zhu Er's house.
Then, the three children came to the vicinity of West City.
Li Yue took off the cloak she was wearing.
She spread it on the ground as a stall.
The boy was responsible for fetching water and digging ice.
Li Yue was responsible for thinking, 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 promotional slogans in the modern world and made a brief summary. She opened her mouth and shouted:
"Come and have a look! Don't miss out on this! All the ice sculptures in this stall are on clearance sale for three copper coins!
Everything he chose and bought was only three copper coins!
You won't lose out if you buy it, you won't fall for it!
Visiting relatives and friends, coaxing girls, teasing children, and dating Prince Charming was a must!
Good luck is just around the corner … "
Ice sculptures were not 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 bags would shrink a little, and they would have a small toy made of ice in their hands.
Some peddlers were envious of the three children's business and imitated them to set up a stall to sell ice sculptures. Most of the shapes were made according to the ones at Li Yue's stall.
Although the ice sculptures they sold were not as exquisite as Zhu Er's, they were cheaper. 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 peddlers selling ice sculptures in the West Market. 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 basket. Li Yue tried to pick up the cloak. Just as she bent down, someone suddenly blocked in front of her.
The person who blocked in front of Li Yue 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 … Chang Long 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 peddlers nearby all lowered their heads and pretended that nothing had happened. Obviously, this was not the first time they had encountered the Long Dragon asking for protection fees.
Li Yue turned around and looked at Zhu Er in surprise. Her gaze then fell back on the hooligans.
Even the leader of this group of people had died, but they still hadn't disbanded and turned over a new leaf. They came out to extort and extort protection fees. Dogs really couldn't change their habits.
Bah, bah, bah. These hooligans were dogs, but she wasn't. Moreover, Tie Chuanjia and Li Xunhuan were in the nearby tavern. Facing this group of crooked melons and broken dates, Li Yue's heart didn't fluctuate 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 God. 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 leader of the hooligans' belt and pants had already been separated. The boy's backhand swung 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 started shouting.
The hooligans who were agitated by the screams were full of panic. 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 commotion, had already come over and protected the three children behind him.
Accompanied by a burst of earth-shattering cries 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 offensive. He stretched out his hand and tried to cover the little girl's eyes. The little girl grabbed his wrist instead.
"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 planned to do, he was willing to cooperate with the little girl to be the bad guy.
The Bearded Man moved his hand joints a few times and deliberately lowered his voice. "Little Miss, it's not easy to clean up after killing so many people in the downtown area."
The little fatty Zhu Er said at the right time, "I know how to make Corpse Dissolving Water."
The little boy grew up in the wilderness and was accompanied by wild animals. He knew the law of survival better than anyone else. Therefore, he really thought that Li Yue, Zhu Er, and Tie Chuanjia were prepared to eliminate all future troubles. 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 who were lying on the ground were 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 a sieve.
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 right to kill all of them, right?
No matter what, it's their fault for not leading the way. If you want to find trouble, you should find their leader first.
By the way, where's your leader? "
The hooligans didn't dare to say a word. Tie Chuanjia cracked his fingers, and there was another cracking sound. The middle-aged man who was closest to Tie Chuanjia didn't even raise his head and quickly responded.
"Old … no, no, no, our old leader was killed a few months ago. The new leader is a soft-footed shrimp. He usually doesn't care about things, but he immediately went crazy last month. None of us are willing to submit to anyone. Although we still have the name of the Long Dragon, we all have our own camps and don't cooperate with each other.
A few days ago, we even had a fight with our brothers from another street over territory. "
Li Yue thought for a while and raised her eyebrows at the middle-aged man. "So you're the leader of these people now?"
"This … I don't dare, I don't dare …"
"Since you lack a leader, what do you think of me being the leader?"
"Young miss, please don't ask us …"
Before he could say the word "happy", the middle-aged man felt something cold on his neck. He was afraid that his head would be separated from his body, so he hurriedly bowed to Li Yue and kowtowed.
"Young miss!
You can be the 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 young miss as our leader. Why would I be unwilling? 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 telling them to gather their brothers when they went back, and that they would meet in Xi City tomorrow to discuss how to unify the Long Dragon.
None of the hooligans objected, and they all nodded in agreement.
When the hooligans and onlookers all dispersed, Li Yue realized that Zhu Er was looking at her with a very strange gaze. 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 motioned 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 raise any objections to this method of distribution. Instead, he began to worry about Li Yue's safety.
"Although they're flies, there are too many of them. They can also suck blood. If you want to catch all of them in one go, it might 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 boss. 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.
In order 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, and you?"
"I … I don't have a name … You can call me Hoodlum."
"Okay, A … Eh?!"
Perhaps because he was worried about checking Li Yue's homework, Li Xunhuan was not as drunk as before. However, he did not drink much either.
When Li Yue finished practicing for four hours and handed in her homework to Li Tanhua, Li Xunhuan, who was still a little drunk, saw Li Yue's incomplete dog-like traditional Chinese characters. In an instant, he was sober. His gaze moved back and forth between Li Yue's beautiful face and the distorted and ugly characters on the rice paper. After a long while, he asked a few questions with difficulty.
"Xiao Yue … Have you … been to elementary school before?
Did anyone … teach you? "
Elementary school was almost equivalent to kindergarten or primary school in modern society. Asking a child if they had been taught was equivalent to asking the child if they could read and write.
Li Yue had worked hard in society for many years after graduating from her undergraduate degree. She could answer Li Xunhuan's question with confidence. However, before she could speak, fragments of memories of the original owner of this body appeared in her mind little by little.
In a low and tidy old house, a couple with blurry faces were smiling and talking to a child in their arms. The wife was humming a lullaby while the husband held the child's hand and taught him how to read stroke by stroke. The family of three lived a very poor life, but they were happy and harmonious.
These images flashed back and forth like a merry-go-round, but the last image that appeared was of the couple with pale faces. Their eyes were full of reluctance, and their quietly drooping arms.
Li Yue stood there in a daze. Uncontrollable tears flowed out of her eyes. Before she could raise her hand to wipe her tears, Li Xunhuan had already taken the little girl into his arms and gently stroked her head.
"Sorry, it's my fault."
"It's … It's not your fault. It's my … problem …"
Li Yue sobbed to explain to Li Xunhuan. However, a child's self-control was really poor. She tried hard to hold back her tears, but Li Xunhuan's hug and pat caused the original owner of this body and her own negative emotions to gush out like a flood. Li Yue had to grab Li Xunhuan's clothes and cry.
Tanhua Lang's body always had the fragrance of plum blossoms. It usually smelled cold and quiet, but now mixed with the smell of aged wine, it was especially intoxicating.
Li Yue's physical strength as a child was originally low. After crying for a while, she fell asleep while inhaling the smell.
Li Xunhuan, whose internal strength was far superior to that of ordinary people, naturally noticed that the little girl's breathing had calmed down. However, not only was he a martial arts master, he was also a person with a disability. Holding the sleeping Li Yue, he was stunned and didn't know what to do. On the other hand, the gold medal nanny Tie Chuanjia couldn't stand by and watch. She took the little girl back to the room.
Li Xunhuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Tie Chuanjia had just left the study when Uncle Fu pushed the door open and entered. He looked at the adult and child in the distance, and a slight smile appeared on his weathered face. Then he turned to Li Xunhuan and asked softly,
"Young master, allow this old man to take the liberty to ask … what are you planning to do?"
Li Xunhuan was a smart person. He naturally understood the meaning behind Uncle Fu's words. Less than half a year ago, when he first arrived at the courtyard, he didn't care about anything. Everything, no matter how big or small, was thrown to Tie Chuanjia and Uncle Fu. Every day, he only cared about his drunken stupor. It seemed that as long as there was wine, he could isolate himself from the world.
If he wanted to muddle through his days, that was Li Xunhuan's own business. Uncle Fu also had no right to interfere. However, Li Xunhuan had never revealed Li Yue's identity.
Since the child arrived at the courtyard, she was in an awkward situation. She came with Li Xunhuan and lived in the servant's room. She was treated like a guest, and the servants in the courtyard didn't know how to address her.
Fortunately, the child wasn't like other children. Every day, she enjoyed herself and never complained about her treatment.
Uncle Fu saw all these trivial matters. He knew that Li Yue was a good child. Coincidentally, Li Xunhuan's mood wasn't so bad and he was also clear-headed. He couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
Li Xunhuan muttered to himself for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I … am really a terrible person. Naturally, I shouldn't implicate others.
As for Xiao Yue, although she is young, she has her own way of doing things … Whatever she wants to do, she can do it. "
As soon as Li Xunhuan finished speaking, Uncle Fu immediately followed his advice. "Young master, regarding Little Miss's learning, do you plan to personally teach Little Miss how to read, or do you plan to invite a teacher to teach Little Miss in the courtyard? Or do you plan to have someone find a school for Little Miss in Shuo Province?"
"School?"
"Young master, the outside of the Great Wall is not like the Central Plains. Since ancient times, people have been valiant.
Little Miss is at the age where she likes to play. Because you like peace and quiet, there are few people in our courtyard. Naturally, we can't find someone similar to Little Miss's age. Therefore, Little Miss is usually alone and no one wants to play with her. "
"That's fine … Let's have Xiao Yue go to school in Shuo Province."
At that time, Li Yue didn't know that she was going to the city for her learning. When she woke up, she practiced her writing as usual. After four hours, she immediately threw down her brush and quit.
A week later, a carriage was brought in front of her. When the little girl got on the carriage, her face was full of excitement. She thought that the people in the courtyard were taking her to Shuo Province to play, but the reality was not as she imagined.
The carriage really did stop in Shuo Province. Uncle Fu brought the little girl in men's clothes to the entrance of a small courtyard.
Before they entered, Li Yue had a bad premonition in her heart. When they really crossed the steps, Li Yue saw a group of little people sitting in the classroom shaking their heads. Among them, there were a few who looked younger than her.
Li Yue looked at Uncle Fu in disbelief. On Uncle Fu's face hung a kind smile that she was very familiar with. It made Li Yue think of the group of old men and old women with their grandchildren. She silently prepared to step back, but Uncle Fu firmly held her hand. Li Yue looked at the gate again. The big brother who drove the carriage blocked the gate with a simple and honest face.
At this moment, Li Yue knew that she was definitely going to this ancient kindergarten.
In order to make it convenient for Li Yue to go to school, Uncle Fu specially bought a large courtyard near the school in Shuo Province. He also hired a dozen servants and guards. The cost was not small.
At first, Li Yue was curious as to why Li Xunhuan would agree with Uncle Fu. But a few days later, she saw Tie Chuanjia help the drunk Li Xunhuan into the courtyard. Tanhua Lang's valuable jade pendant was still missing. When Tie Chuanjia went out again to find the jade pendant, Li Yue learned that Tanhua Lang had pawned the jade pendant in a restaurant.
Li Yue: I'm so angry. I also want to be a rich person who doesn't know how to spend money.
The (young) Mongolian (kindergarten) was more boring than Li Yue imagined. Other than studying, it was also practicing calligraphy. The teachers were even less likely to play games with the children like modern kindergarten teachers. Therefore, during recess, Li Yue would usually lie on the table and sleep.
Li Yue didn't pay much attention to the little ones in the same class, but the little ones in the same class were very curious about her.
In terms of appearance, no one in the school was more outstanding than Li Yue. In terms of studying, although she came late, her learning speed was the fastest in the school. In terms of practicing calligraphy, her handwriting was also the worst in the school. Therefore, among the children, Li Yue was a very cold and aloof person.
In the school, there were excellent students, but of course, there were also bad students. There were cold and aloof people, but there were also mischievous children and naughty children who thought they were the school boss.
When these two attributes were combined, it was natural that there would be conflicts. Therefore, a few days later, Li Yue encountered her first (one-sided) school "bullying" incident after she transmigrated.
That day, it was the school teacher's lunch break. The children in the school were very noisy. Li Yue was lying on the table with her eyes closed as usual. Suddenly, someone slammed her table.
Li Yue, who was shocked, slowly raised her head and glanced at the initiator. Then, she calmly lowered her head and continued to sleep.
The child who slammed the table obviously felt that he had lost face. He shook Li Yue's table heavily again. The latter yawned and forced herself to sit up straight. She stared at the child without moving. In fact, her eyes were not focused at all.
The other party did not say anything. The child's face turned red from being stared at. He could only find a way out. He put his hands on his hips, cleared his throat, and spoke to Li Yue aggressively.
"Where are you from? Why didn't you come here and pay your respects?"
Li Yue was speechless.
"I don't want you to give me anything valuable. You only need to give me three pieces of caramel candy every day and call me boss. Do you hear me, newcomer?"
Li Yue was speechless.
The little girl's gaze swept past the leading brat. Her gaze lingered on the three little followers behind him for a while before she looked away. "Are you very good?"
"Of course!"
"But seeing is believing. You have to prove it, right?"
"How?"
"How about this? You put your inkstone on the beam at the front. The ink in the inkstone cannot be spilled. If you can do it, then you are good."
"Hmph, what's so difficult about that?"
The brat and his little followers whispered to each other for a long time. They worked together to get a ladder. He climbed to the beam and placed the inkstone there. Just as he was about to show off to Li Yue, someone shouted, "Mister is here." The brat's hand trembled and the inkstone was stuck on his body. He rolled down the ladder with ink all over his body.
In Li Xunhuan's world, there were usually only two types of living beings. One was enemies, and the other was friends. The former were 100% despicable people, while the latter included former friends, current friends, and people who would become friends in the future.
Tanhua Lang had always been vicious and cold to his enemies. He would never be stingy with "giving" his enemies a throwing knife. As for his friends, Tanhua Lang had always adhered to the principle of infinite tolerance. It could even be said that he had no bottom line.
