Chapter 197 Accident

Is it him?

Xia Zihan retracted his hand, his eyes showing surprise.

The person who competed with her for the inkstone was the young man who painted the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea that she saw not long ago, and his sister was holding a lantern with one hand and picking jade walnuts with the other hand with a look of joy on her face.

After choosing one, he told the boy with a smile, "Brother, I have chosen, you can buy this for me."

The young man nodded, and together with Yan, asked the price of jade walnuts.

"For the sake of your knowledge of goods, I'll give you two taels of silver for these two items." The stall owner looked like he couldn't get any cheaper.

The young man's face suddenly fell. He looked at the little girl and said, "Little sister, I don't have that much money with me. You...you jade walnut, can I buy it for you next time?"
< br>

"No, I want it today." The little girl was very stubborn and stared at him, threatening him fiercely, "If you don't buy it for me to play with, I will tell my mother when I get home that you are going to sell me and let me My mother encouraged dad to beat you.”

The child's unintentional words made the people around him hear something fishy, ​​and they looked at the young man sympathetically.

But those eyes were like sharp knives, cutting into the flesh of Chi's body.

A trace of unwillingness and humiliation flashed in the young man's eyes.

His face turned red. Finally, he gritted his teeth, reluctantly put down the inkstone in his hand, and whispered to the stall owner, "Just the jade walnuts."

He was about to take off his purse from his waist to pay, but he touched it twice and couldn't find it. When he lowered his head and looked down, he was dumbfounded.

The place where the purse was originally hung was empty.

The money was stolen.

The young man clenched his fists with both hands and said to the stall owner sheepishly, "I'm sorry, my money was stolen."

The sympathetic looks from all directions suddenly increased by half, but no one was willing to donate generously to him.

The little girl seemed to know that she couldn't buy her jade walnuts, so she refused to let go and burst into tears on the spot.

The young man was panicked and coaxed hurriedly, "Brother will come to buy it for you next time. Don't worry, I will definitely keep my word."

"Woo woo... I want it now, I want it now, woo woo..."

The little girl cried with her eyes closed, not listening to a word, and kept asking for jade walnuts.

The young man was so embarrassed that he wanted to die. He really wanted to hug his little sister and run away, but the little sister still had the jade walnut in her hand. If they really wanted to run away, they would become thieves and robbers.

Seeing that he couldn't bring out the money, the vendor's face suddenly turned ugly, "Hey, brother and sister, do you still want to buy the jade walnut? If you don't want to buy it, put it down. Don't block the position. I still have to do business." ”

Just when the young man was in a dilemma, a cold voice said, "I paid the money for the jade walnut and the inkstone."

A slender white hand stretched out, with two taels of silver in its palm.

The vendor's eyes lit up, and he felt closer to the money when he saw it than when he met his own parents. He accepted the money with a smile, "Young man, you have met a good person, and it is easy for you."

With that said, he put the small inkstone into Min Sibo's hand without even asking what Min Sibo meant.

After Min Sibo came to his senses, he eagerly wanted to return the inkstone in his hand to the person who paid the money, but when he looked over, what he saw was a pair of eyes that were more beautiful than crystal. For a moment, he was stunned.

"If you like an inkstone, take good care of it." That was a high-quality pure mud inkstone. If the dirt on it hadn't concealed its true identity, I wouldn't have been able to buy it for even twenty taels of silver, let alone two taels of silver.

Xia Zihan stood up and was about to leave with Chu Jingqi.

"Girl, please wait a moment." Min Sibo suddenly stopped them, "My family lives in Maoli Hutong, North Street. My surname is Min..."

For some reason, Min Sibo suddenly felt the urge to introduce himself to the girl in front of him, "I will definitely repay the girl's money. May I ask your surname?"

There is also an urge to get to know the girl in front of me.

"It's a small effort, no need to worry about it." Xia Zihan said this, ignored the people behind him, and squeezed forward with Chu Jingqi.

But she clearly felt the gentle gaze from behind, staring at the back of her head for a long time before moving away.

Just as a group of people were approaching Sanli Alley, Xia Zihan seemed to feel the intense and uncomfortable gaze staring at her again.

She looked back several times, but every time she looked back, the other person seemed to notice it and immediately disappeared from sight. When she turned around again, the sight would appear again, making her stamp her feet in annoyance.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Sanli alley, Chu Jingqi asked Ma Baosheng and Di Nuanyu to take the things they bought back to the car, while he took Xia Zihan to a stall selling cotton candy not far away.

The Xu family was too crowded, and it was inconvenient to eat marshmallows. If one did not do it, it would rub on other people's clothes, so the business at the stall was not good. When Xia Zihan went there, there was not a single customer.

"Here are six marshmallows." Xia Zihan said.

The five maids and her each had one.

The stall owner who was idly spanking heard the sound, raised his eyes, and his eyes were stunned. Chu Jingqi's eyes turned cold and he angrily said, "Not yet."

There was a strong air-conditioning all over the body, and the surrounding temperature dropped suddenly. The stall owner was shocked and finally came to his senses.

"Ah, oh, just do it." He no longer dared to look at Xia Zihan's face. That lewd gaze was fixed on Xia Zihan again. Xia Zihan quickly turned around and looked in the direction of the gaze.

Her sight disappeared, there were too many people, and she couldn't be sure who was staring at her.

After repeating this several times, Chu Jingqi couldn't help but pay attention. When Xia Zihan turned around to watch the stall owner making marshmallows again, Chu Jingqi's gaze was like a cold wind passing by, scanning the group of people behind her.

Chu Jingqi's eyes suddenly turned cold when he shot a tall man in gray clothes with a sinister expression staring at Xia Zihan with a look that made him vomit.

When the man felt a strong gaze falling on him, he wanted to look away, but it was too late. As soon as he turned his head, he met Chu Jingqi's cold gaze.

Not only was the man not afraid, he even grinned at Chu Jingqi, revealing something that almost made Chu Jingqi feel sick and vomit after eating what he had eaten at night.

"Fox, catch him." Chu Jingqi whispered to the secret guard Fox who had been hiding in the dark.

He Dong, Lin Chu and the others were all in the alley, and he was the only one beside Xia Zihan. He wanted to catch the man himself, but he was even more worried about leaving Ayu alone.

The last time he was in Minjiang, Ayu was almost kidnapped. This time in the capital, he would never let that happen to her again.

Chu Jingqi reached over and held Xia Zihan's hand tightly.

Chu Jingqi silently thought that as long as he let go of this hand, nothing would happen to his Ayu.

After giving the order, a dark shadow flew out from Chu Jingqi's side and flew towards the man.

The man seemed to feel it, and jumped over the heads of hundreds of people.

The fox hurriedly caught up.

Naturally, such a big movement could not be hidden from Xia Zihan.

Xia Zihan stared at the two dark figures that were flying away, her eyes shrinking. The martial arts skills of that lewd man were definitely no longer inferior to Master Qi. If he really wanted to... do something to her, then she wouldn't be able to do anything to her. There is no way to fight back.

A vague feeling of uneasiness arose in Xia Zihan's heart.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Although immature, a calm and reassuring voice sounded in her ears.

Xia Zihan hummed and held Chu Jingqi's hands tightly.

Six marshmallows were ready. Each of the two people took three marshmallows in one hand, and Chu Jingqi held on to them with the other hand without letting go.

Xia Zihan had no choice but to obey him, but she was a little worried about the fox, "Is the fox a match for that man? Let's go tell He Donglin and let him lead a few people to chase him?"

"No, your safety is more important." Who knows whether that person is alone or a group of people.

What if the other party comes up with a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain?

Chu Jingqi had to be cautious.

Dragging her, the two of them squeezed into the alley, and the two of them held Marshmallow high to avoid rubbing against other people's clothes and causing trouble.

But just because you don’t want to cause trouble, doesn’t mean someone else doesn’t.

Xia Zihan obviously felt that she had been tripped by someone, and threw herself forward. Although she was caught by Chu Jingqi in time, and there were too many people, she couldn't fall, but the three marshmallows in her hand stuck like this. It happened to a fat middle-aged man.

Xia Zihan didn't want to cause trouble and apologized in time.

The big fat man's face turned black with anger. He was about to raise his hand and slap Xia Zihan several times, but when he saw Xia Zihan's face clearly, he changed his mind.

"What's the use of apologizing? I don't care about it. If you really feel that you owe me something, then you can use it to pay for it. As long as you go back with me and become my seventeenth aunt, I will let you go."


As he spoke, a disgusting smile appeared on his face, and his claws stretched towards Xia Zihan's face.

A delicate little hand suddenly grabbed from the side, and then there was a crunching sound of broken bones.

"Ah...damn it, beat him to death, kill him for me." The fat man was covered in cold sweat in pain and screamed like a slaughtered pig.

A group of younger brothers rushed up behind him.

Chu Jingqi protected Xia Zihan tightly behind her, preventing the other party's people from getting close to her.

But there were more than twenty people on the other side, and looking at their hands, they didn't look like thugs raised by ordinary wealthy families.

It's hard to beat the four punches with both hands.

Seeing that Chu Jingqi was about to suffer a loss, Xia Zihan stayed still and didn't care whether his martial arts skills would be exposed. He stepped out and kicked the one closest to her hard.

There were too many people and it was too crowded. The other party groaned, took a step back, and was supported by the person behind him.

Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi were back to back and said in a low voice, "Aqi, there are so many people here, we can't use them at all. Although it is beneficial to us at the beginning, over time, if the opponent uses wheels to fight, it will be very detrimental to us."< br>


And more importantly, she must not let the other party recognize her and Chu Jingqi's identities, otherwise, there will be a series of troubles.
