The seven emotions and six desires are all my nourishment

The second thug also agreed, "Yes, we just want to do good things. If you don't believe me, ask this young lady. We didn't do anything!"

The thugs were so bold because they thought the girl was too shy to speak out.

They had been dealing with the government office for many years, and they were afraid of He Zhizhou because he was ruthless, but he was also upright.

After all, they didn't touch it.

Mei Yan looked in the direction he was looking and saw the small face peeking out from behind He Zhizhou. He was immediately filled with amazement and sighed in his heart, "What a beautiful young lady! She's just a little plump..."

He Zhizhou naturally knew that the two had not met, but he was partial to each other, and when they met, it was too late!

He Zhizhou frowned and kicked the thug's thigh, "Don't try to quibble, she is my neighbor's sister." He meant that he knew it very well.

But the ruffian was very evil, so he understood it immediately. He blinked and said, "Oh, is this the iron tree blooming?"

The second thug wrinkled his nose and pouted, "He's stepping on his brothers to save the damsel in distress? Fine, give him some face!"

The two exchanged glances, then took the initiative to stand next to Mei Yan, saying respectfully and apologetically, "So it's my sister-in-law. It's the brothers who are disrespectful. They deserve a beating, they deserve a beating!"

The second thug also laughed and said, "Yes, yes, the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple. They should be punished!"

Mei Yan secretly thought that this was not good. Sure enough, He Zhizhou's face was icy cold. He pulled out a small bundle of hemp rope from his waist and tied up the thugs in two or three seconds. "Take them back and give them thirty slaps on the face!"

The two thugs were stunned, but He Zhizhou turned around and left with Tian Tian.

Mei Yan shook his head. "Let's go, go back and take it! You did something wrong, but you chose to tease a girl. You deserve it!"

The two thugs were confused as to why their punishment was increased even though they cooperated.

He tried to please Mei Yan all the way, wanting to be the one who knew the truth.

Mei Yan kept silent about it, and only reminded the two, "Don't bully women in the future. After all, we are also born and raised by our parents. We also have sisters, wives and children at home. What do you think?"

The two thugs frowned, but behaved themselves for a while. Soon they were grinning again, laughing and joking with the vendors on the roadside. It was obvious that this was their normal behavior.

He Zhizhou held Tian Tian's wrist through her clothes and could still feel the softness and warmth, which made him sweat.

He Zhizhou led the quiet girl all the way to a less crowded place before stopping. He turned around and asked her a little embarrassedly, "Hey, why don't you walk with your sister?"

Tian Tian looked at him timidly with tears in her eyes, "You are so fierce... I am scared..."

He Zhizhou: "..."

He lost his temper, as if he had met his nemesis. He slowed down his tone and tried to explain, "I'm not a bad person. I... cough... let me take you back!"

"It's really dangerous for a girl like you to go out. Next time, you can wear a man's underwear..." He Zhizhou's words got stuck in his throat as Tian Tian moved the bamboo box away from his chest...

He Zhizhou's cheeks flushed red, and he hurriedly turned his head away, not daring to look again.

Fortunately, his beard covered his red face and no one could see it, otherwise it would be really embarrassing!

He Zhizhou hadn't noticed anything different about the girl at this point. He clenched his fist and coughed, "Ahem, I'll take you back first..."

Tian Tian was unwilling, pouted and shook her head, "My sister said that we can't go with strangers."

"Uncle, I have to wait for my sister. She forgot something and must be very anxious."

He Zhizhou, “…” Uncle?

He Zhizhou sighed and was about to say something when he saw Tian Tian licking her lips, looking at the target who was passing by to sell candied haws, and said coquettishly, "Good uncle, I want to eat candied haws!"

He Zhizhou saw that her eyes were attracted by the candied haws and she begged him to buy some candied haws. This feeling was very new and unfamiliar to him, but he still bought a string for her for the first time.

Tian Tian took the candied haws, but the box in her hand was in the way!

Seeing the girl's embarrassment, He Zhizhou wanted to take it, but Tian Tian was not happy about it.

She put the box on the ground in a hurry, "Uncle, I can only give you one hairpin! You can't take the whole box away!"

He Zhizhou is really wronged...

But before he could react, the girl stood on tiptoe, picked up a hairpin in the shape of a small sword, and stuck it crookedly on his hat.

The sudden approach of the fragrant and soft girl made He Zhizhou's brain freeze for a moment, and his hands subconsciously hugged the girl's waist.

Tian Tian tied her hairpin and happily left his embrace. She took a bite of the sweet and sour hawthorn, her eyes sparkling. "Mmm! Delicious! I'm going to save half for my sister!"

He Zhizhou calmed his pounding heart and looked at the innocent girl. Only then did he realize something was wrong, and doubts arose one after another.

Seeing that he was staring at her, Tian Tian pouted and handed the hawthorn to his mouth, "Here, you can only eat one~"

He Zhizhou's pupils shrank, and he became more certain that the girl might not be a normal person.

No wonder, she is the elder sister, but never goes out. No wonder her younger sister, who is not very old, dresses like a man and goes out.

He Zhizhou suppressed his emotions and asked her, "Where's your sister? Why did you go out on the street alone today?"

Tian Tian paused while eating the candied haws, as if she just realized that she was out on the street, couldn't find her sister, and couldn't go home.

In He Zhizhou's eyes, the girl looked at him, and tears quickly welled up in her beautiful big eyes. He Zhizhou's heart trembled, and he sighed two words: [Spoiled...]
