Baozi Xishi's Struggle

The man in green shirt felt so much pain that he yelled and shook his hand away. Shen Yu was able to break free. When he looked at the man's hand again, it was covered in blood.

Li saw the rolling pin that had been put away, and quickly pulled it out and held it tightly with both hands, protecting Shen Yu behind her. She asked Shen Yu in a trembling and anxious voice: "Yuzhi, are you okay?"

Shen Yu wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve in disgust, gasped and shook his head, staring at the group of people wearing green shirts.

The man in green was at a disadvantage, so he was not willing to give up. He shouted, "Oh, she's quite hot-tempered, a little wild cat, I like her. Brothers, come on, I'll do it."

Yutao and Yucheng watched all this from the side. Although they were afraid, they were not willing to let their sister suffer. Yutao picked up the firewood stick on the ground and saw that the kitchen knife on the noodle table had not been put away yet. She grabbed it and handed it to her, whispering, "Sister."

Shen Yu took the kitchen knife and immediately felt confident. Yu Cheng held a large water scoop in both hands and stood close to Shen Yu. The whole family looked at the group of people nervously.

The stall owners nearby heard the noise coming from the Shen's bun stall and came over to watch from afar. Someone recognized the man in green and whispered, "Hey, isn't this the second son of the Qian family in the north city? He is a famous little bully in the north city. How did the Shen family offend him?"

The people brought by the green-shirted man were all drinking buddies who ate and drank together on weekdays. If you were to ask if they had any real skills, they really had nothing to show for it.

Several people were ready to fight, and when they saw Li's men holding knives or sticks, and looking like they were ready to fight to the death, they began to feel a little scared.

Among them, a short man in pink clothes murmured regretfully: "I didn't expect this little girl to be so difficult to deal with. I should have brought servants with me earlier."

The two sides were in a stalemate, and the man in green felt pain in his hands. He shouted a few times but no one came up. He got angry and cursed, "What did you say before you came? She's just a young lady. Why are you afraid of her? If you don't go, I will."

As she was about to rush forward, Shen Yu felt nervous. She also knew that this matter could not be resolved peacefully. She was thinking that at worst she would fight with him. Don't think that I am really that little girl who knows nothing about the world.

She made up her mind, pushed Li aside, stood at the front, held the kitchen knife tightly in both hands, and shouted loudly: "In broad daylight, there is no law? This is a market, and in a moment, the yamen runners will be patrolling back and forth. Sir, please think carefully."

The man in green laughed loudly after hearing this, and said with a smug look on his face, "What's a yamen runner? Even the head of the yamen runners has to call me a brother. Brothers, come on, take this young lady back to me, and I will definitely get some benefits from you brothers."

After hearing what the man in green said, several people regained their courage. With a shout of "Ah!", several people were about to rush up.

Shen Yu thought to himself, awful. He didn't expect the other party was a relative of his.

She gritted her teeth and thought that if it really didn't work, she could only use a kitchen knife to chop it. At least it could block it for a while, so that Li could take Yutao and Yucheng and run away quickly.

The man in green was about to charge forward with a sly smile on his face, when suddenly a hand reached out from the side and lifted him up like a chick. A big man with a full beard said in a buzzing voice, "Qian Yinhu, when did you call me a brother?"

The man in green struggled at first, mumbling: "Who is so bold as to stand in the way of the Second Master?"

He desperately turned his head and saw the big man's appearance clearly. He immediately wilted, put on a flattering smile, turned his head and bowed to the big man and said: "Master Xing, how come you have time to come here?"

The big man snorted coldly and threw the man in green to the ground, saying with disdain: "Qian Yinhu, can't you just stay quiet for two days? If you come out to cause trouble again, your father's property will be squandered by you. What did our county magistrate say when you got into trouble last time? If there is a next time, it won't be as simple as a beating or a fine."

Qian Yinhu just looked like a big green rooster full of chicken blood, but when he saw the big man, he immediately became as listless as a chick with chicken plague.

He nodded and said, "Master Xing, what are you talking about? I have been very honest these days. I was just passing by here and was hungry. I wanted to buy some buns to fill my stomach. I didn't expect that the bun seller would be like a little wild cat and bite them as soon as she opened her mouth. Look, she bit them for me."

Master Xing glanced at him with disdain and said sarcastically, "That's strange. How could you get bitten when buying buns? I advise you to go home quickly. I don't know about others, but if your father finds out, what will happen to you? You should think carefully about it."

Qian Yinhu thought of his father's angry face. Ever since he was called by the county magistrate and severely scolded, his father's previous attitude of meeting his requests had completely changed. Not only did he beat him severely, he also threatened that if he caused trouble outside again, he would not let him off easily.

When he thought of this, he shuddered all over, glared at Shen Yu viciously, and said with gritted teeth: "Baozi Xishi, I will temporarily spare you today, you just wait..."

Before he finished speaking, the big man coughed heavily. Qian Yinhu immediately stopped talking and said to the big man with a smile: "Master Xing, I just remembered that I have some things to do at home. I will leave you now. You are busy. I will take my leave first."

Having said that, without waiting for the big man to reply, he waved his hand and ran away in shame with his friends.

Shen Yu relaxed only after seeing the man leave.

Li's body was still shaking, and her hands holding the rolling pin were still tightly clenched and trembling slightly.

Shen Yu whispered to comfort her: "Mom, it's okay, it's okay."

As I was talking, I suddenly heard a gentle female voice panting, "Husband, is there something wrong here? You are walking so fast that Qiqi and I can't catch up with you."

Shen Yu looked up and saw a young woman wearing a lilac-colored double-breasted shirt, with her hair in a bun and a white jade hairpin in her hair.

She held a little boy of six or seven years old in one hand and gently pressed her forehead with a silk handkerchief in the other hand. She was talking to the big man but her eyes were always looking towards the market.

When she glanced at Shen Yu, her gaze stopped and she looked Shen Yu up and down.

Shen Yu muttered in his heart, what is the origin of this? What happened today? Why do they keep coming in waves?

She thought this was just another bored woman who had heard rumors.

The young woman said with a look of surprise: "Oh, girl, I finally found you."

He took two quick steps, not caring about the dirt on the ground, and pulled the little boy beside him to kneel down, shouting, "Qiqi, kneel down quickly and kowtow to the girl. This is the girl who saved you that day."

The little boy was held down by his mother and kowtowed three times.

Shen Yu then vaguely realized that the woman did look familiar, but it was dark that day, and the woman was so anxious that her hair was disheveled and her face was covered with tears, looking like a mad woman. There was no trace of the gentle look she has today.

She stared blankly at the woman forcing the child to kowtow. After hearing what the woman said, she came to her senses and hurried over to pull the woman and the child up.
