Chapter 16 Breaking the Leg of the Gambler's Son (16)

In the beginning, Rong Rongzu felt uncomfortable every time he went to town, whether it was for work or daily shopping.

If not necessary, he will be the fastest one when it's time to go home.

But after so long, he gradually adapted to this rhythm of life, and more openly accepted everyone's gazes on him that contained various emotions.

Therefore, after Guangrongzu bought the brown sugar, he also exchanged a few words with some nearby vendors. Now he can be regarded as completely integrated into the lives of ordinary people.

Where can I see the slightest bit of a noble scholar in him?

He himself has let go of his past identity, and naturally others will no longer care.

"Okay, Grandpa Wang, you're busy, I'm going home first." Honorzu put the wrapped brown sugar in his arms, said to Uncle Wang, who was selling glutinous rice cakes, and left.

Looking at the back of Glorious Ancestor, Uncle Wang and other vendors sighed, this is really a prodigal son who can never change his fortune.

In the early days, Honorzu developed the habit of taking shortcuts home to save time, and this was no exception, but he didn't expect that taking shortcuts would actually lead to trouble.

Just because the path he took was close to an alley facing the street, there were occasionally vendors near the alley, and crowds gathered from time to time.

At this moment, a sneaky person in the crowd was quietly reaching out to the waist of a girl wearing a curtain hat, obviously intending to steal.

Seeing such sneaky things, Ancestor Glory couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to speak out when he saw the girl wearing a curtain suddenly turned her head and angrily said: "How dare Xiao Fang Xiao be so presumptuous?"

These words startled the crowd who gathered at the sugar water stall to buy sugar water. When they saw this situation, everyone backed away, not wanting to get into trouble.

The vendors who set up stalls also immediately packed up and left, no longer doing business.

The girl didn't care about the reactions of others and just stared at the thief.

The thief was a little guilty at first, but he felt emboldened when he saw everyone around him disappear. After a closer look, he found that the girl was well-dressed and graceful, and she actually had evil intentions.

"Little girl, you'd better hand over the money you have, otherwise, if I touch you, your innocence will be at stake."

Described as a wretched and short man, he squinted his eyes and stretched out his rough, black hands to make gestures in the air. The meaning was really vicious.

The girl then realized that everyone around her had already disappeared, and she couldn't help but panic. But thinking that the most prosperous Middle Street in the town was nearby, she had an idea.

As soon as his eyes rolled, the girl turned around and ran away. The thief didn't expect her to react so quickly. He raised his feet to chase after him, but suddenly the back of his head hurt, as if he had been hit hard by a heavy object. He yelled "Ouch" and fell to the ground.

on the ground.

The girl heard the noise and couldn't help but look back, only to see a lean black boy walking towards him with slightly swaying steps, holding several stones in his hand. Looking at the thief lying on the ground, there was nothing he didn't understand.

.

It is not that Ancestor Glory has never seen someone who steals something, but this is the first time he has seen such a thief who becomes angry out of shame and wants to destroy someone's innocence.

This made Ancestor Glory very angry, and he struck harder.

His hand strength has been developed, but it is not as strong as Rong Li's, but it is no problem to beat an adult man.

"Ouch, ouch..." He didn't know where he was injured. The thief had a severe headache and had no other thoughts. He only focused on shouting.

"Little girl, go home quickly and don't stay outside. Remember, nothing happened today."

Ancestor Glory walked up to the thief who kept shouting and threw the stones in his hands at the opponent, making him scream.

The girl looked at Jie Qi and understood the good intentions of Ancestor Glory. She couldn't help but clasping her fists and performing a courtly etiquette, saying: "Thank you, big brother, for helping me. I will remember your kindness today!"

"It's easy, no need to be polite!" Ancestor Glory waved his hand, signaling the girl to leave.

Just as he was about to arrest the thief, Honorzu heard a burst of hurried footsteps, and occasionally one or two "Miss is here" and "The man has been found". He couldn't help but look up, but there were several men dressed as servants hurriedly looking.

came running.

The girl also saw it, her face changed, and she raised her feet to run away, but it was too late, so she was surrounded by the servants. A little girl dressed as a maid ran up with red eyes from crying, "Miss, I have finally found you!"

"Miss, please come back to the house!" The servants could not do anything to the girl, so they had to bow their heads respectfully and ask her to go back to the house.

"Miss, the master and his wife are really angry this time, please wait and see..." The little maid carefully checked the girl up and down, then breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly tried to persuade the girl how to surrender.

Ancestor Glory raised his eyebrows, thinking that this was a wealthy lady who came out to play without permission.

The girl pushed away the chattering maid's mouth with one finger, glanced at Honor Ancestor, then at the servant, coughed slightly, and said calmly: "You guys came just in time, this thief intends to steal, and he also speaks rudely to me. Fortunately,

After being subdued by this righteous man, he was taken to the government office and handed over to the Yamen for punishment."

Only then did the servants realize that there was an ancestor of glory standing not far away, and a thief lying on the ground who kept shouting.

Seeing that someone had taken over, the Honorable Ancestor was happy to be at ease. After cooperating with his servants to tie up the thief, he was about to say goodbye and leave.

Seeing this, the girl quickly asked: "May I ask my benefactor's name?"

"I won't mention the name. Anyway, I haven't been here today and I don't know anything." Ancestor Glory smiled and was about to leave, but was stunned when he saw the wooden sign hanging on the girl's waist, "Baiyun Academy"

people?"

"Do you recognize this wooden sign?" The girl was startled. She lowered her head and glanced at the wooden sign that only people from Baiyun Academy had. She reacted and said with some surprise.

Ancestor Glory shook his head fiercely, "If you don't recognize it, how could I recognize it?"

After saying this, Ancestor Glory left without looking back. The girl looked at his back, frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly clapped her hands, she knew who he was, it turned out to be him.

"Miss, the master and his wife are still waiting at the mansion." The little maid called out at the right time, calling the girl back to her senses. The girl smiled slightly, ordered the servant to send two people to deliver the thief to the Yamen, and then took the people back to the mansion.

Glory Ancestor, who had packed the brown sugar, didn't take this matter to heart. Even if he was helping people from Baiyun Academy, what would happen? He would never have anything to do with Baiyun Academy again in his life, so why bother bothering him.

Now his mind is filled with how to make his family live better and how to shoulder his responsibilities. How can he have the energy to care about anything else?

What's more, for the sake of the girl's reputation, this matter must be kept in the stomach today, and no one can say anything about it.

When Guangrongzu came home, he put the brown sugar away without saying a word and started cooking.

Under Rong Li's guidance, he can now do all housework. Whether he can do it well or not is another matter, but knowing how to do it is a big improvement.

"Today's food was well cooked and tasted good." Rong Li ate his rice and gave the ancestor of Rong a rare smile.

Honorzu's eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously. His father praised him.

Little did he know that what Rong Li was praising was not for the good cooking, but for being brave enough to prevent the little girl from being bullied by thieves.

But this matter couldn't be brought up, so Rong Li just found an excuse to praise it.

Ancestor Guangrong only thought that his cooking skills had improved, and he couldn't help but feel confident that he would cook more dishes tomorrow.
