Acacia by mistake

The originally crowded crowd immediately took the initiative to open a road for the merchant and others to pass through.Ah Ran faced the three men who were approaching fiercely, but she didn't know that she was framed by this man wearing a hat.His legs were shaking with fright, his face was pale, he subconsciously hugged the lotus leaf bag tightly in his arms, and quickly stuffed it into his arms.

He wanted to save people, but it was definitely not a direct challenge like this.Ah Ran has a very clear understanding of her own strength, not to mention one him, even if there are three of him, at most it will change from being scratched to beating the back.

Otherwise, run quickly.He hesitated, but his eyes still looked at the insulted woman.

The merchant took a closer look, and found that the one who dared to challenge him just now was actually a weak and delicate young man, with the smell of fireworks on his body, he spat in disgust: "Bah, it turned out to be a little rabbit. Bad luck! You just said that What, try to say it again?"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a commotion behind him, just as Hong Shang turned his head, he saw two of his subordinates rushing towards him, and the three of them collided into a ball.Hang Shang fell to the ground, being crushed by two of his subordinates, he couldn't help crying out in pain.

Only Ah Ran, who was the closest, could see clearly—just now, when the three of them approached him, the man in the bamboo hat silently walked around behind them, raised his leg and kicked each of them.His strength is actually not great, but his timing was extremely ingenious, and taking advantage of his opponent's carelessness, he finally succeeded in kicking the two strong men.

It was too late and then too soon, the sneak attack succeeded, the bamboo hat man turned around, raised his hand along the gap exposed by the crowd, and saw a silver light shooting out from his wrist!

Accompanied by a sharp whistling, the only big man standing there fell to the ground, leaving only the woman standing there dumbfounded.

"Run fast!" the man in the bamboo hat yelled.

The woman just came to her senses, gathered her clothes and fled in a hurry.The man in the bamboo hat also came to Ah Ran's side and tugged him: "Run!"

Seeing the three people on the ground swearing and about to get up, Ah Ran shuddered and ran away.

After running for a while, he came back to his senses: What are you running for?This matter has nothing to do with me!

Then he heard someone yelling loudly behind him: "You bastard, don't go!"

Looking back, it was three soldiers divided into three groups, chasing in the direction where they, the man in the bamboo hat and the woman were fleeing.Only now did he realize the sinister intentions of the man in the bamboo hat, but how could he explain it now?

In the chaos, only the man in the bamboo hat laughed loudly: "What do you want me to do? Haha, I not only want to leave, I also want to run!"

As soon as this remark came out, the merchant was so angry that he yelled, and stopped chasing separately, he jumped and told his two men to chase the bamboo hat man, and beat him up if he caught up.

The pressure on Aran's side suddenly eased, and she slowed down, finally able to take a good breath.However, when he saw the escape route of the bamboo hat man, he was taken aback for a moment, thought for a while, chose another remote path, and followed it cautiously.

The alleys on the side of the pier are the most intricate. If a stranger comes here, he will get dizzy after walking too far.A Ran grew up here since he was a child, and he walked these roads countless times. He estimated the speed of the man in the bamboo hat, and he turned around in the alley. After a while, he heard two rapid panting sounds.

Ah Ran quickened her pace, and sure enough, she saw a person resting against the wall of the alleyway, and another person was kneeling in front of her, who was the woman who had just been rescued.

Seeing Ah Ran arrive, the bamboo hat man was not surprised, and waved at him: "Hey, kid! You can run quite well!"

Aran walked over slowly.The woman seemed to have just cried, she was wearing the light-colored robe that the man in the bamboo hat had just put on, and she was kowtowing to him to thank him.

Taking a closer look, Ah Ran found that the woman was about [-] years old, with a gentle face. Although she was not very pretty, she was quite charming.

However, the bamboo hat man who was eager to save her was not cold at this time, and said with arms folded: "I will not take you away. I saved you, but on a whim, your life is of course your own. How can you give it to me so easily. Otherwise, I will let you die on a whim in the future, will you go or not?"

These words sounded messy, but after thinking about it, there was a bit of nonsense in them.Ah Ran thought of herself, and couldn't help being stunned.

"Can you please benefactor... At least let the little girl see her face." The woman begged bitterly, "If you don't know the face of your benefactor, you will not be able to repay your benefactor's great kindness in the future, and the little girl will regret it for the rest of her life!"

The bamboo hat man supported his own bamboo hat, and refused even more resolutely: "That's not allowed. Do you know why I wear a bamboo hat? It's because I am very handsome and chic, and I can attract many people when I walk on the road casually." Look at me——oh, let’s say it’s this alley, people who want to see me will line up from here to...there! Maybe a few people will be squeezed to death. So, if I take it off and let you see In my face, what if you fall in love with me and I have to marry you in this life? I already have a sweetheart, so just give up."

After these words, the woman's complexion changed a few times, from simple gratitude just now to very complicated.Ah Ran is very sure that even if she once had the idea of ​​making a promise with her body, it must have been obliterated by now.

Is there really anyone in the world who is so confident in his appearance?

Ah Ran couldn't help but think of lovesickness.Xiangsi is the most beautiful beauty he has ever seen, if what the man in the bamboo hat said is true, who is better than the face under the veil and Xiangsi?

After thinking hard for a long time, Ah Ran still couldn't imagine a face more beautiful than Qiao Xiangsi, so she had to give up.

"Then... can the little girl know the name of Engong Zun?"

"Well, it was okay to tell you, but now it's not possible." The man in the bamboo hat said regretfully, "After all, you already know how handsome I am, if you casually tell others that the so-and-so who saved you is a young man in the world." Some beautiful men, wouldn’t there be more people who want to see me? What if they find out where I live and come to surround me at my door? Alas, as a handsome and handsome man, I face There are already a lot of troubles, and I don’t want to face more.”

His troubled tone was so sincere, but it was this sincerity that made people feel even more uncomfortable.That is to say, Ah Ran has a good temper, and he is just a bystander, so he can bear to listen to his nonsense. If someone has a bad temper, such as Qiao Xiangsi, he probably can't help but hit him now.

And as for the woman who bears the brunt... Even Ah Ran felt that she must have saved her life because she was more important than a mountain, so she didn't spit it out on the spot.

However, even so, the woman was speechless, had nothing to say, and said in a daze for a while: "Grandfather, can you—"

"I can't." Before he could finish listening, the man in the bamboo hat ruthlessly rejected the woman's request, then changed the subject and said, "But, send the Buddha to the west, look at you like this, maybe you will be arrested later I will tell you a way. You go out from the north of the city and head north all the way. There is Jiuqi Mountain. When you reach the top of the mountain, you shout "Mr. Qi is handsome and invincible in the world", and someone will meet you and take you to a place. There There are quite a few people who are similar to you, whether they are willing to study or work as female workers, they will also have land farming and pig raising... In short, if you want to support yourself in the future, you can go there."

The woman thanked her deeply: "Thank you, my benefactor!" The man in the bamboo hat hid aside and muttered, "What are you kowtowing? I'll shorten my life for nothing. You run, if you get caught halfway, I don't care .”

The woman kowtowed three times, got up and straightened the robe on her body, hesitated a little, took out the pair of scissors from her bosom, cut off her long hair, tied the man's hair in a bun, and put it on the bamboo hat again. Ren and Ah Ran thanked each other and left in a hurry.

Seeing all this, Ah Ran felt a thousand feelings in his heart, which finally turned into a barely audible sigh.

"Hey, why are you sighing? Have you taken a fancy to her?" The bamboo hat man heard this slight sigh, tilted his head and asked, "If you like her, go after her, why are you sighing here?"

"I, I don't." Ah Ran waved her hands quickly, hesitated for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage to ask, "Why did you entrap me just now?"

"I entrapped you?" The bamboo hat man repeated, with a sneer, "Did you not want to save people just now?"

It turned out that the man in the bamboo hat saw what he was thinking at the time.Ah Ran thought to herself, and gave a low "hmm".

"So, if it wasn't for me, what can you do? I helped you do what you want, and you should thank me." The bamboo hat said humanely, "Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. You know the pagoda Huh? That’s amazing! For the sake of helping me distract those bastards today, I’ll just divide you into three levels. Thank you soon!”

"Ah, many, many thanks." A Ran thanked in a daze, then scratched her head again, wondering in her heart: Is this what Futu meant?

This action exposed a corner of the lotus leaf bag that was stuffed in his bosom.

The man in the bamboo hat sniffed vigorously, and suddenly asked, "Are you from Nuanxiang Pavilion?"

Aran nodded.

"Tch, Nuanxiang Pavilion!" The man in the bamboo hat suddenly clenched his fist and said angrily, "I happened to see Nuanxiang Pavilion today and didn't like it! It's unlucky for you!"

Ah Ran didn't guard against his sudden change of face, and was shocked.However, it was too late to run at this moment, the man in the bamboo hat rushed forward and grabbed his lapel fiercely.

"I, I...you—" Ah Ran panicked.However, the bamboo hat man had already grabbed what he wanted, let go of Ah Ran, and put the lotus leaf bag wrapped in meat buns into his arms.

"What's my, yours? I bought this steamed stuffed bun at the shop on the pier? If you have the foresight, this is mine!"

Ah Ran was in a hurry: "I bought this for my friend... If you want to eat, I'll buy it for you again. He's still hungry."

As soon as the words fell, the two heard at the same time, the belly of the man in the bamboo hat let out a loud cry.

"Are you... hungry too?"

The man in the bamboo hat said confidently: "Nonsense, I haven't eaten for several days! Has that friend of yours also not eaten for several days?"

Ah Ran thought about it, last night Xiangsi had just had a full meal, and it seemed that he was not as hungry as the man in the bamboo hat in front of him.I had no choice but to keep silent, only thinking about how many buns I could buy with the remaining copper coins.

"Hey, you're smart. If you don't eat a meal and you won't die from starvation, it's more important to save me, who is about to die of starvation first." Seeing that he stopped talking, the man in the bamboo hat seemed to have won a battle, shaking triumphantly Head, ran to the intersection and poked his head for a while, then said to Ah Ran, "They seem to be coming soon, I have a place to hide, will you follow me?"

The author says:

Today, Qiao Xiangsi did not wait for his steamed stuffed bun.
