Chapter 5 5. Chasing the little thief

The two of them were lying on the street, man on top and woman on top.

Nan Xi covered her eyes, these two people were now like monkeys for people to watch.

Ouch! Why is she so kind!

Nanliu didn't know whether he was thrown or crushed. His face turned red and he was nestled in Zhou Yuan's arms.

The fall just now was not light!

Nanliu was so painful that she almost burst into tears. The fall hurt her to death!

Nan Liu's face turned red, which looked like shyness to Zhou Yuan.

It made Zhou Yuan tremble, and he wished he could take him home and treat him with warmth right now.

"How shameless!"

"That's right! I'll throw myself into my arms in broad daylight."

"Whose shameless little slut is this? She is so shameless."

"To do such shameless things on the street in broad daylight is really a deterioration in the world!"

The indignant voices of a group of women made Nan Liu completely regain his sense.

How could she do such a thing in public? If someone found out, how could she go see other men?

Nan Xi knew exactly what Nan Liu was up to. Not only was she seducing Zhou Yuan, she was also seducing several young men in the town.

Is Nanliu choosing taro? Can’t I choose the next one?

Nan Xi sneered, but she refused to let her wish.

After such a commotion today, she has become an unruly woman in the eyes of others, and she can only find a way to marry Zhou Yuan.

After achieving her goal, Nan Xi didn't want to see their hypocritical faces, so she turned around and went to the grain store.

"Boss, don't you have white rice for sale here?"

Nan Xi looked around and saw that besides black noodles there were some unknown noodles, which smelled very bitter.

"Girl, this white rice is not affordable for ordinary people! The white rice in Qingli Country is scarce, how can it reach this border city?"

"You'd better buy some rye noodles and bitter wheat noodles to eat."

The shopkeeper is a woman, but she didn't discriminate against Nan Xi when she saw her shabby clothes. It's not easy for anyone these days.

She also wanted to get white rice to sell, which was something only the dignitaries in Beijing and those in the palace could afford.

It would be good if the ordinary people like them can have something to eat.

Nan Xi had no choice but to browse around in the grain store. There were very few varieties of grain, and finally she chose two kilograms of rye noodles.

She will buy less food now, and then buy pots and pans.

Her home only had a broken bowl and a clay pot, and no other cooking utensils.

I bought two kilograms of rye noodles for thirty copper coins. These things are so expensive!

I heard from the proprietress of a grain store that most people eat bitter wheat noodles and sorghum, but very few people eat rye noodles.

Nan Xi was now worried. There were no rice seeds, so it was a difficult problem to plant rice.

There are rye seeds in grain stores, but they have a low yield and are not tasty!

Unlike the wheat in her previous life, which had been improved, the flour ground from the wheat was fine, sweet, and very delicious.

Rice is made from improved seeds, with a yield of more than 1,000 kilograms per mu. It would be a dream to have a high yield in this place!

The moment Nan Xi was distracted, the two kilograms of rye noodles she was holding on her arm were suddenly snatched away.

"I'll go! If you dare to steal my things! You're dead!"

Nan Xi gritted her teeth angrily, put the little leopard in her arms, and chased the thief as if her feet were on hot wheels.

The person who robbed her things was a child, about fourteen or fifteen years old, who could run faster than a rabbit.

The two of them chased each other and ran through more than a dozen alleys without stopping.

"Stop chasing me!"

Tang Lin held his knees and gasped. How come this woman has such good physical strength?

He couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

Nan Xi stopped and gasped from exhaustion. She squatted in the corner and stared at him, "You brat! How dare you steal my things? If I don't chase you, who will I chase?"

She was actually robbed?

This is new, huh?

"Isn't it just two pounds of rye noodles? Are you chasing me like a dog?"

Tang Lin regretted it now. He thought that a little girl would only cry when her things were robbed.

I didn't expect to encounter a tough situation.

"Bah! You are the dog! Your whole family is a dog! You are still a little silly dog ​​who steals things. Give me back the things?"

Sister! She was starving to death. She finally bought some rye noodles and was robbed. Now she is still angry!

"No! Don't come over here, or I'll run away."

Tang Lin hugged the rye noodles and refused to let go.

This is the only edible thing he has found these days. If there is no more food, he and his brother will starve to death.

"You want to try running? Do you believe I can catch up with you and break your legs?"

Nan Xi got up and was about to chase after him.

Seeing that Nan Xi wanted to pursue her, Tang Lin started running.

"Hey! You are really talented! Are you really running away?"

Nan Xi was not polite and chased him for a while.

Finally caught him at the door of a ruined temple.

Nan Xi was so tired that she was sweating profusely and started to stutter when she spoke, "You, are you still, are you still running?"

This kid was caught by her, but he still held her rye noodles and didn't let go.

"I, I won't run away! Then can you give me, give me some food? My brother is going to starve to death?"

Tang Lin was already exhausted from running.

In order for his brother to survive, he had to grab things.

Nan Xi was stunned, "Your brother? He's a liar, right?"

Some children like to lie the most. She was deceived by children before when she was performing a task, and she was even stabbed.

"I didn't. My brother is right here. Just follow me in and take a look?"

Tang Lin did not lie, his brother was indeed in this ruined temple.

"Lead the way." Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Nan Xi loosened his clothes and let him lead the way.

Tang Lin did not resist and took Nan Xi into the ruined temple.

The ruined temple was dirty and had an unpleasant smell.

Nan Xi frowned slightly, why does this smell like the smell of human body decay?

"This is my brother. He has been in a coma for several days."

Tang Lin took her to a corner of the ruined temple, removed the straw blocking her, and saw a person curled up in the straw nest.

When Nan Xi saw the child, she couldn't help but gasped, "Isn't your brother injured?"

The child curled up in a ball looks exactly like this child. They must be twins.

However, the child's legs were broken and the bones were exposed. The flesh of the wound was rotten and exuded a stench. She could even see white maggot eggs on the rotten flesh.

It may be that it is just early summer, the weather is not too hot yet, and the maggot eggs have not fully hatched into larvae.

Tang Lin lowered his head, "I know, but no one can cure my brother. I just want him to have a full meal before he dies."

Thinking of this, Tang Lin's eyes burst out with piercing hatred.

He took his younger brother everywhere to seek medical treatment. When they saw that they had no money, the doctors all kicked them out.

Finally, I met a kind-hearted doctor, but the doctor said that he couldn't cure it. The bones were broken like this and there was nothing he could do.

"A bunch of quacks! Go find me a dagger and hot water, quickly!"

Nan Xi didn't care about his revenge for robbing her things, it was more important to save people first.

This child can still be saved.

"Okay! I'll go right away."

Tang Lin turned around and went to find what she needed.

Tang Lin: Master, is this a dog leg? Running so fast?

Nan Xi:……

She wants to beat this guy to death!
