Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 15 The Unlucky Scoundrel in an Old-Fashioned Novel 14

In the midst of chaos.

Big Yellow bit the hem of the man's clothes, dodging his attacks from left and right, but refusing to let go.

Taking advantage of her small stature, Xia Youmi moved nimbly, delivering a powerful blow to the lower back of the three men before slipping away.

My elder brother still needs to protect some people.

First, to prevent them from getting hurt; second, to stop them from rushing out and directly confronting someone.

These kinds of thugs, whose backgrounds are unknown, are dangerous; they might actually cause a death.

Most of the onlookers moved away, but some brave and enthusiastic people stepped forward to help by holding his arm.

"The Imperial Guards are here!—"

A sharp scream rang out, as if to warn the three men, and they turned to flee.

During the struggle, Dahuang tore off the hem of the other person's clothes.

Seeing this, Xia Youmi didn't let it continue chasing.

"Mother, how are you?"

“This matter is strange. These three people clearly did not come to buy steamed buns, nor were they simply causing trouble.”

As Xia Youmi helped Wang Xiu up, she spoke quietly to the others.

“I understand, we’ll discuss it in more detail later,” the elder brother replied.

Two Imperial Guards did arrive. After questioning them, they found that no one recognized the three troublemakers. They could only keep an eye on them based on the descriptions. Without finding them, it would be difficult to determine the compensation.

Amidst the various opinions and chatter of people, it becomes clear that their steamed bun shop had indeed suffered an undeserved misfortune.

Only by submitting the information to a knowledgeable person can a conclusion be reached; we can only have my elder brother go with me to register first.

Xia Youmi, along with her aunt and mother, cleaned up the mess. All their hard work over the past few days had been for nothing.

However, looking at the piece of clothing that Da Huang had bitten off in his hand, he thought, "I'm sure I can find this person."

main room.

The two pairs of mothers and children applied medicine to each other, mainly for some bruises and abrasions, which needed to be carefully rubbed apart.

"Mother, you should rest tomorrow."

"I went with Da Huang to look for someone."

Xia Youmi tenderly stroked Wang Xiu's wound; this was the second time she had been injured since arriving in Chang'an.

It's really a clash.

"Let's split up and search!" the elder brother said, still angry.

He had just made a grand vow to protect the region, but now he can't even protect his own small family.

Today I took a walk through the Jinwuwei government office and felt a burning passion in my heart, a longing to go there.

"But I'm worried that if only my mother and I are left behind, we might be attacked by the enemy again."

"After all, this time as well, we suspect they have someone watching them."

"Brother, it would be best if you stayed home, just in case."

My aunt also offered her advice:

"Yilang, stay home for a day and let your injury heal."

Wang Shaoyi was the most seriously injured this time. Although there was no blood, he blocked most of the randomly thrown objects with his body.

“Yes!” Wang Xiu echoed.

“Mi Niang and Da Huang will have no problem searching. It’s not too late to go together once we have news.”

No wonder everyone places such trust in us.

Rhubarb is truly excellent!

Its search capabilities are extremely strong; it can track people based on their scent.

With the help of the system, the person behind this will eventually come to light.

"Okay, but you must not put yourself in danger. Inform us immediately if anything happens."

The eldest brother eventually compromised. He was only acquainted with Da Huang, far less close to him than Erlang and Xiaomei were.

Finally, I mentioned the unusual situation at the steamed bun shop diagonally across the street. The person in charge was the proprietress, named Mai Niang.

The others were hired help, and they looked like relatives.

The boss rarely shows his face and is said to be disabled.

If we're talking about hiring people to cause trouble, they're the prime suspects.

They're rivals, close by, and even share the same location.

It's common to feel resentful when business is stolen. Furthermore, given Xia Youmi's confrontation with her today, Mai Niang's behavior clearly indicates she was aware of the situation.

I'm afraid they're just using this as a smokescreen, and their true intentions haven't yet surfaced.

Their family never made enemies, and the only thing they could think of was trouble brought by influential people. However, this was not a mature idea yet, and they couldn't discuss it with their family, lest it cause them unnecessary worry.

We need to wait for my uncle's return to confirm this.

......

The next day, it was dawn.

Xia Youmi then put a special leash on Dahuang, prepared a bundle of "dry food" and a few copper coins.

Then take the hem of your garment that served as a token.

And a few unassuming, handy little weapons. They were all made of wood; she hadn't yet been able to equip herself with a dagger.

"Big Yellow, you've worked hard today! Once we catch that little thief from yesterday, we'll prepare a roast chicken for you."

"Wang!"

"I have rice, and I'm ready too." The system thought eagerly in my mind.

Finally, it was time for Summer Fish to show off its achievements.

"Niannian, what can I reward you with? Is there any points or something?"

"I don't have a points-based reward system. If you need encouragement, please feed me as much knowledge data as possible! Replenishing my database is the best thing."

Currently, Xia Youmi has to transmit all the data the system needs to it using her eyes.

"Ok!"

Our first destination was "Mai Niang Cake Shop".

Xia Youmi stood to the side, continuing her business without interruption.

But after we took out that piece of clothing and let Dahuang sniff it, that was the first place it stopped.

Mai Niang kept glancing this way. Her eyes were filled with guilt, unease, smugness, and a sense of relief.

However, Da Huang only made two slight gestures and didn't react much, indicating that the person wasn't there at the moment, but had only stayed for a short while.

This proves that the group of thugs had some dealings with the proprietress of this house.

The second place we stopped was not particularly unexpected; it was in front of the "Jincheng Hubing" shop.

On her first day of street sweeping, Xia Youmi became wary of these two places, sensing that she was being watched.

The owner of this flatbread stall, known as Boss Shi, was not young and was not of Hu ethnicity. He was not tall, but his thick beard concealed some of his true emotions, and his eyes, apart from being cloudy, revealed no emotion whatsoever.

There was also a young girl helping out, about fifteen or sixteen years old. She had features resembling those of a non-Han people, and she just kept her head down and worked, reportedly never speaking.

At the very back was a young man baking flatbread. He had a very traditional Hu (non-Han) appearance, but was dressed as a slave.

There are also many scars on his face, as if he is deliberately covering something up.

"Boss, where is Brother Wuzi?"

Xia Youmi pretended to be a child and went up to talk to him, not caring whether others believed her or not, only asking about the condition of the little boy she had bumped into earlier.

Mr. Shi looked impatient and waved his hand without replying.

He gestured for the child to go play somewhere else.

Xia Youmi wasn't annoyed, and pretended to say:

"If you see Brother Wuzi, please ask him to come and visit me!"

My home is right next to "Wang's Steamed Buns".

"Not far away."

Seeing that Boss Shi's eyes were slowly turning fierce, Xia Youmi pretended to be frightened, jumped a few steps away, left the flatbread stall, and continued to walk around the entire Zhaoguofang with Dahuang.
