After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss
Chapter 12 It seems to have become a shelter
Xu Zheng frowned: "What the hell do you mean!?"
The man picked his earwax and said, "I'm sorry, girl. I can give you fifty taels of silver, but what about the baby... no."
Xu Zheng said angrily: "What do you mean? You don't keep your word, right? Then I will smash your store!"
"Miss, please be careful. Our business belongs to the Lin family. If you smash the store today, you may be dead tomorrow." The man said indifferently.
The Lin family...Xu Zheng calmed down a little. Could it be one of the demon kings?
Xu Zheng stepped forward and said, "I'll buy him with money, okay?"
The man smiled and shook his head, his eyes instantly becoming sinister: "Get her out of here!"
Several big men surrounded her and tried to capture Xu Zheng.
With a few whooshing sounds, several flying knives stabbed down and hit the feet of those big men.
"Who! Who!" The man looked towards the stage. Everyone around him had run away, and there were only two masked men.
"Who are you! How dare you meddle in the Lin family's affairs!" he roared.
A masked man in black flew down from above, stretched out his long arm, and took out a token: Pei.
“What…what…” The man’s face turned pale instantly. How could he not know the Pei family, one of the four major families on Anhong Continent.
If he offended someone from the Pei family, he probably wouldn't even have time to commit suicide!
The man said coldly: "Silver, people, bring them up!"
"Yes, yes..." The man nodded and bowed hurriedly. The big men had already fallen to the ground screaming. He could only go and get the money himself, and the boy followed him.
"Sir, you are so magnanimous. I wonder why you have come to my shop in person." He put on a flattering expression and rubbed his palms nervously.
The man said in an emotionless voice: "Can you find out about the Pei family's affairs?"
"Yes, yes, I was blind and didn't know this girl knew you two." He said quickly and slapped himself twice.
Xu Zheng looked at the masked man and didn't recognize who he was, but the man in white seemed very familiar to her.
Fortunately, the matter was resolved and she didn't think too much about it.
After receiving the money and the people, Xu Zheng did not forget to take the things she bought.
When she walked outside, she thanked them both sincerely.
The four of them had already walked quite far away. The masked man in white took off his mask, revealing a face that looked like a banished immortal.
"Pei... Pei Xuanxi? It's you!" Xu Zheng said in surprise.
Pei Xuanxi smiled and said, "It's only been one day since we last met, and Miss Xu has already forgotten Pei."
Xu Zheng waved her hand: "No, no, I didn't expect you to go to such a place." Having said that, she looked at Pei Xuanxi with some suspicion.
Yes, why would he come to such a place? Could he be the same as those people?
Pei Xuanxi naturally sensed her suspicion, and he explained: "Miss Xu misunderstood, Pei is not interested in this kind of business, but there are some things that I have to investigate."
Xu Zheng nodded: "I see. Oh, I didn't mean to doubt you."
She suddenly thought of something and said nervously, "Will helping me expose anything? I hope it won't cause you any trouble!"
Pei Xuanxi didn't expect that she was doubting him just now, but believed him again because of a few words from him, and now she started to worry about him again.
What a simple girl, Pei Xuanxi thought helplessly.
"Don't worry, Miss Xu, everything is fine. But why do you insist on saving this child?" He was more curious about this.
The boy followed them, head down, saying nothing.
Xu Zheng lowered her eyes and said, "I was bullied when I was a child, so I know how it feels. Now that I'm strong, I will definitely not sit idly by and watch!"
Seeing her indignation, Pei Xuanxi's eyes showed an imperceptible tenderness.
"Miss Xu is indeed very special."
Xu Zheng waved her hands: "No, it's just a simple act of bravery. I have had a dream of becoming a superhero since I was a child."
"Superhero?" Pei Xuanxi, as a person in the book, obviously didn't know what it meant.
Xu Zheng said: "She is a chivalrous woman who fights for justice."
"Is that so? Then I am very optimistic about Miss Xu." Pei Xuanxi said with a smile.
"You have good vision. Hahahaha..." Xu Zheng was encouraged by him and patted his shoulder.
On the way, Pei Xuanxi suddenly received a message from a servant. He gave Xu Zheng one hundred taels of silver and the Pei family token, and left with A Yan first.
Xu Zheng happily put away the silver and token, bought a few buns for the boy, and went back happily.

"Oh, I haven't been home for the day and my home has become a shelter." Xia Nian sat on the stone bench in the yard, looking at the children sitting in a row in front of him.
Meng Yin and Tao Tao stood on either side and massaged her back.
"Good Nian Nian~ They are so pitiful." Meng Yin said softly
"Yes, one of them is still sick and can't get out of bed." Tao Tao also agreed.
In fact, they have not yet decided to keep these children. This requires the consent of all four people.
Xia Nian shook his head: "I know what you are thinking, but we haven't even opened yet and we have to feed so many mouths."
"Don't worry, Nian Nian. Taozi and I will start fighting for our lives tonight! You just need to focus on recovering from your injuries!" Meng Yin said excitedly.
Xiao He suddenly ran up and knelt in front of Xia Nian: "Sister, please let us stay! We can work! If you let us go back, we will die..."
After he washed his face, he looked like a cute child, but his eyes were full of tears, which made the three people feel very sad.
Xia Nian quickly helped him up. Such a young child kneeled down when he saw people and kept talking about death. It was obvious how much bullying and insults he had suffered in his daily life.
"Good child, it's not that your sister doesn't want to accept you, but will those people come looking for you? What if you get into trouble then?" Xia Nian considered things very carefully. What she was most worried about was that the four of them would die suddenly in this book before they returned.
Xiao He shook his head: "No... We are just a tool for them to vent their anger. They might think we are dead..."
At this point, several other children also started crying.
"Is that so..." Xia Nian fell into deep thought, thinking about how to allocate the rooms.
"Wait for A Zheng to come back. If she agrees, let them stay." she said.
Meng Yin quickly said, "A Zheng will definitely agree!"
With a bang, the door was opened. Several people looked towards the door and saw Xu Zheng walking in with a bunch of things in her arms and a smile on her face.
"What did I agree to?" She walked into the yard, and the three of them noticed that there was a half-grown child following her.
"See, I told you." Meng Yin put her hands on her hips and smiled proudly.
Xia Nian smiled helplessly: "It looks like it has really become a shelter."
"A Zheng, who is this child?" Tao Tao looked at the boy behind her. He still had his head down, so it was impossible to see the expression on his face.
Xu Zheng told them everything. Tao Tao frowned and asked, "Could it be that this Lin family is also one of the demon kings..."
"Yinyin, remember, you are the only one who has read that book?" Xia Nian looked at Meng Yin who was in deep thought.
Meng Yin touched her head embarrassedly: "Ah... I only read the introduction, and then I flipped through one of them named Gu Ling, and I don't know the others at all."
"Well, if those men are involved in this kind of business, it's only a matter of time before they split up," Xia Nian said.
Several people nodded. If those four men were really inhumane, even if they didn't split up later, they would still provoke resistance from the masses.
