The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times
Chapter 69 Dare to steal my things
Lin Xi arrived at the door of Fulin Restaurant and was about to step in when a ragged little kid was kicked out. His head was about to hit the threshold. Lin Xi quickly pulled him up and stood aside.
Before he could say anything, two wealthy young men dressed in gorgeous clothes and waving folding fans came out.
"How dare you, little beggar, to offend Young Master Liu! Do you know who he is? He is the nephew of the county magistrate and will soon be adopted by the county magistrate. How dare you step on Young Master Liu's shoes!"
One of them, a young man wearing a purple brocade robe, looked at the little beggar with disdain and cursed.
He stood beside Master Liu, who was dressed in bright and gorgeous clothes and held his head high with pride like a big rooster, with a flattering look on his face.
"Humph! Lick my shoes clean and I'll let you go. What do you say, Brother Li?"
Mr. Liu raised his head proudly, glanced at the little beggar, then turned to Mr. Li and asked.
"Oh, Master Liu is so kind! Come here, little beggar!"
The little beggar stood there with his head down, motionless.
Just as Mr. Li was about to get angry, a fat, wealthy-looking middle-aged man ran out of the restaurant.
He held a pot of wine, with a smile on his face, and approached the two men, saying flatteringly: "Master Liu, Master Li, calm down, it's all my fault that I let this little beggar sneak into the restaurant due to my negligence. I give you this pot of thyme as an apology. This little beggar is dirty, don't let him lick your shoes, wouldn't that dirty your shoes?"
After saying that, he yelled at the little beggar, "Get out of here! You are dirtying the eyes of the two gentlemen!"
The little beggar quickly ran into the crowd and disappeared.
Young Master Liu was very satisfied with the shopkeeper's attitude. He took the wine pot and said arrogantly, "Shopkeeper, for your sake, I will spare this little beggar this time. Next time, you better keep an eye on the door and don't let any cats or dogs in!"
The shopkeeper bowed and nodded repeatedly.
The two turned around and prepared to leave.
When he walked to Lin Xi's side, Mr. Liu caught a glimpse of the tiger skin in her basket.
Lin Xi lowered her head, unaware that when she tried to pull the little beggar, her body tilted and more than half of the large leaves covering the basket had fallen out.
"Little girl, put down your backpack and show me what's inside!"
Young Master Liu's eyes sparkled as he looked at Lin Xi's backpack and gave instructions.
"Sir, this is nothing good. This is the prey my father hunted. I'm here to deliver it to Fulin Restaurant!"
Lin Xi lowered his head and spoke in a low voice timidly.
"Oh, you must be Brother Dayong's daughter, right? I've seen you from afar before. Remember to go to the backyard when you deliver prey next time! Waiter, take this girl to the backyard!"
The shopkeeper came over and said.
After saying that, he turned around and smiled respectfully at Master Liu, "Master Liu, this is the daughter of the hunter who sent prey to my restaurant. She must have caught some small prey again. The thing is bloody and there is nothing to see. Don't scare you!"
When Master Liu saw that Lin Xi had followed the waiter to the backyard, he quickly pushed the shopkeeper aside and ran over to grab Lin Xi's backpack.
Upon seeing this, Master Li rushed to help and snatched the backpack from Lin Xi. However, he did not expect the backpack to be so heavy. He staggered and almost fell!
He took away the only remaining large leaf and threw it on the ground. He took a look at the contents of the bamboo basket, then smiled at the innkeeper and said, "Hey! Innkeeper, look! This is not just some small prey!"
The shopkeeper sighed in his heart: Alas, Brother Lin, it seems that this thing can’t be kept!
He had just caught a glimpse of the tiger skin, so he hurriedly asked the waiter to take the little girl away. Unexpectedly, she still couldn't escape! Try your best to help this girl!
He came up to the bamboo basket and said in mock surprise, "Oh, Brother Dayong is really good this time. He actually hunted a tiger. The tiger meat has been divided up. It saves me a lot of trouble!"
After saying that, he turned to the two gentlemen and said, "My two gentlemen, it is a rare opportunity for me to receive tiger meat. How about I host you tonight and prepare some good wine to enjoy the tiger meat?"
"Shopkeeper, please don't say that. This tiger meat doesn't belong to you yet!"
Young Master Liu smiled evilly, glanced at the shopkeeper, and then ordered Lin Xi: "Little girl, I have requisitioned this tiger meat and presented it to my uncle the county magistrate to nourish his body. He is your father and mother official. Only when he is well can you all be well!" After that, without waiting for the shopkeeper and Lin Xi to talk, he said to Young Master Li on the side: "Brother Li, please help me deliver this thing to the county government in person. My uncle will be happy and it will benefit you!"
When Master Li heard this, he hurriedly squatted down, put the backpack on his back, stood up with great effort, and followed Master Liu to the county government office. The crude bamboo basket really didn't match his luxurious clothes!
Seeing this, Lin Xi narrowed his eyes, and just as he was about to raise his leg to follow, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone!
Lin Xi looked up at the shopkeeper who grabbed her wrist, only to see him shaking his head and sighing, and then he advised her: "Girl, you can't get angry with these rich young men. If you encounter such a thing, you can only consider yourself unlucky, otherwise you may cause a disaster that will kill you!"
Judging from what just happened, this shopkeeper is a kind-hearted person who understands the ways of the world. Lin Xi knows that he has tried his best to help her, and he must be holding her back because he is afraid that she will get into trouble due to her young age.
She adjusted her expression, bowed pitifully to the shopkeeper and said, "Thank you for your help just now. Don't worry, I'm going home to tell my father about this. I don't dare to ask for justice from those two young masters! How dare I, a commoner, mess with people like that!"
After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment and then asked, "By the way, shopkeeper, whose family is that Mr. Li from? I have never seen him before!"
The shopkeeper sighed and said, "He, he is the son of the wealthy Li family in this county! His family is very rich. You live in the village and rarely go to the city. It's normal that you haven't seen him! The people in the county all know him."
Lin Xi nodded, thanked the shopkeeper again, then turned and left!
Before she left, she looked at the direction the two men left, narrowed her eyes dangerously, and said to herself: Humph! You dare to steal my things, see you tonight! "
