We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

Xiao Cui crossed her arms, eyes filled with contempt, and raised her chin, "Humph, you are sincere? Now you realize that you are afraid, and then you remember that you are sincere, why did you go there earlier! When you smashed the store, you were so violent Woolen cloth?"

As she spoke, she walked around several people, her voice harsh, like a victorious fighting cock.

Chen Hu and Zhao Gang had stern expressions on their faces.

Chen Hu said without any doubt: "Stop dilly-dallying. There is really no room for accommodation in this matter. For now, follow us to the tower and follow the rules."

After that, the two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, led Han Donglai and others out as if escorting them.

Before leaving the house, they did not forget to turn around and wink at Xiaocui. Xiaocui understood, and immediately put on a warm smile, and began to receive a few anxious customers in the store who were whispering about the incident just now.

"Everyone is shocked. This mess happened in our small shop and disturbed everyone's fun. I'm really sorry! To express my apology, we will start to compensate."

As he spoke, he took out some exquisitely packaged sachets, ornaments and other gadgets from under the counter, along with some currency, and distributed them to customers one by one, trying to make amends in this way.

Outside the store, Han Donglai and the others were dejected and dragged towards the tower with shuffling steps. The road ahead was full of gloom and mist.

At the tower, Wenxuan was dressed in a plain brocade robe, with his sleeves fluttering in the wind. He had a stern look on his face and stood with his hands behind his back.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with frost, and she thought to herself: These bastards usually rely on their family background to do whatever they want. If they are not severely punished this time, there will be no peace in this market in the future.

Although they themselves uphold the principle of "forgiving others when given the opportunity," their evil deeds are too extreme. They are arrogant and unscrupulous when they smash up shops, and they regard law and order as nothing.

Not long after, at the corner of the street, Chen Hu and Zhao Gang appeared, escorting Han Donglai and several people. They were staggering, their faces full of dejection, like eggplants beaten by frost, and they had lost even half of their past domineering arrogance.

As he approached, Wenxuan raised his eyebrows and scolded in a cold voice: "You are here, but do you still remember the evil things you have committed? Under this city tower is your place of repentance. I hope that in these three days, you can... Cleanse your lard-stained hearts!”

When Han Donglai and others heard this, their bodies trembled slightly and their heads dropped lower. There was no room for struggle at this moment. They could only accept the punishment in order to find a stable future.

Then, Wenxuan cleared his throat and shouted loudly: "Fellow fellow villagers, come here, come together, there is something going on today, and everyone must know about it!"

This shout was like pebbles thrown into the lake. The crowd instantly surged like ripples and gathered around. Every word you said to me was full of curiosity and expectation.

Wenxuan frowned, pointed at Han Donglai and several people, and said with indignation: "Look, these people are so crazy that they smashed several of my shops! The goods in the shop were shattered on the floor, and my girl was also frightened. Qing, we operate a small business and earn hard-earned money, but they trample on it wantonly, how can there be justice in the law? "

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd exploded with accusations.

“It’s so outrageous, how could you do such an immoral thing!”

"People are doing their job when opening a store, why should they do this nonsense!"

Seeing that the heat had arrived, Wenxuan changed the topic, with a warm smile on his face, and said softly: "Although we have suffered such a bad thing, we still have to continue our business. I always used my enthusiasm at the inn at the border crossing It is famous for its hospitality, cleanliness and comfort. If you have relatives and friends, please give me some introductions. The store will definitely live up to your expectations and make everyone feel at home! ”

After hearing the words, everyone nodded in agreement, whispered among themselves, and became a little more interested in the inn.

As for Han Donglai and the others, they buried their heads even lower amidst the cries of criticism, eager to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

At first, Han Donglai and the others knelt closely together under the tower, filled with shame, anger and embarrassment, and simply closed their eyes tightly, as if they could block out the accusations and comments around them.

When Wenxuan saw this, his eyebrows were raised, his pretty face was cold, he raised his voice and shouted angrily: "You guys, you are so unruly! You did something wrong, and you were so coy when you accepted the punishment. You feel it's embarrassing to kneel here. I smashed you in the first place." Why don't you think about the consequences when you are in the store? Just raise your head and face everyone openly!"

Han Donglai's body trembled. He was reluctant but did not dare to disobey, so he could only slowly open his eyes and raise his head.

There was hatred and helplessness intertwined in those eyes, but the situation was stronger than the situation. The handle was now in Wenxuan's hands, and surrounded by angry people. Even if they were burning with anger, they could only grit their teeth and swallow it. .

Holding back his unwillingness and humiliation, he showed off his embarrassed look under the scorching gazes of everyone.

On the other side, Chen Shou and Shi Dami were running all the way and were about to enter the border of Youzhou.

Unexpectedly, when night fell, Shi Dami suddenly felt unwell. When the cold wind blew, he even felt chilly.

At first, there were just a few light coughs, but before he knew it, he couldn't stop coughing for a while. He felt weak all over, his steps were sloppy, and he could barely stand.

When Chen Shou saw this, he quickly helped him find a drug store on the street.

After taking a pulse and taking a closer look, the doctor in the medicine shop frowned and said solemnly: "This guest, the wind and cold have penetrated deeply into the body, and it has already damaged his vitality. He needs to stay and take good care of himself. He must not go on the road again, otherwise If you get to the root of the disease, you’ll be in trouble.”

Shi DaMi originally wanted to hold on, but a violent cough came over him, and the words were stuck in his throat, so he could only sigh helplessly.

Chen Shou also had a worried look on his face, and nodded to the doctor: "Excuse me, sir, please take care of me. We will let you arrange your accommodation. We just hope he can get well soon."

The doctor said that there was no place to live here, but there was an inn in front, so it wasn't that far away anyway.

At that moment, the two of them stayed at the inn behind the medicine shop, hoping that the cold would subside quickly without delaying their subsequent journey.

After Shi Dami settled in, he was filled with worries and looked at the door from time to time, his eyes full of fear and suspicion.

He knew very well that with his current frail body, if Chen Shou had a different intention and reported it secretly, all the previous plans would be in vain, and he might even fall into eternal disaster.

Chen Shou looked at it and said sincerely: "Relax, I, Chen Shou, am one of those unjust people. I'm not going anywhere, I'm just guarding you in this room, and I won't move a step."

As he said that, Chen Shou moved the bed to the door with great effort, lay down on his side, and pointed at the bed, "Look, I'm blocking you here, no one can get in, you just rest in peace and recuperate. If you keep mumbling, You can just tie up my hands and feet with a piece of rope. I just want you to calm down and recover quickly. We have big things to do."

When Shi Dami heard this, the doubts in his eyes were slightly reduced, his lips trembled slightly, and he murmured: "Brother Chen, I have a villain's heart. I hope that I will forgive myself for the offence. I just hope that I will get over this illness soon."

After saying that, he finally lay back on the bed, and under Chen Shou's protection, he tried to calm his mind and gather strength.

But Chen Shou was determined and wanted to show his sincerity to Shi Dami. After thinking for a moment, he raised his voice and shouted: "Waiter, please come in."

The waiter heard the sound and hurriedly pushed the door open. When he saw the situation inside the house, he was startled for a moment. He saw Chen Shou with a calm expression. There was a thick rope beside him and he was wrapping one end around his wrist.

The waiter's eyes widened, his face full of doubts, and he stuttered and asked: "Sir, what song are you singing? Why are you tied up?"

Chen Shou explained calmly while tying him up: "Brother, it's okay. My brother is sick and he is uneasy. He is afraid that if I go out and walk around, the news will be leaked. I do this just to make him feel at ease." This is recuperative, but it’s not appropriate for me to tie myself up. Please help me.”

The waiter scratched his head. Although he was still confused, he stepped forward as instructed and helped to tie the rope tightly and knot it. Finally, he couldn't help but look at this strange scene a few more times before exiting suspiciously. He gently closed the door and left Chen Shou sitting steadily by the bed at the door, giving Shi Dami a "reassurance" with his actions.

Chen Shou struggled to twist his body and found a more comfortable position to sit on the edge of the bed. He looked at Shi Dami and said with a smile: "Now that things are like this, you should rest peacefully."

Shi Dami's eyes were red, and his throat seemed to be choked by something. He spoke after a long while: "Chen Shou, I know that we are in this situation, and we all have our own masters. We have many things we can't do, and we have to be careful in our actions. But along the way, Come here, I see every detail of your sincerity in treating me. In my heart, I have long regarded you as a close friend. When this matter is over, I hope that we can still be ordinary old friends. Like, let’s have some fun over wine.”

"Just recuperate and don't think too much about it. When you recover, I will be by your side no matter the wind and rain ahead."

After that, the two looked at each other. Although the room was quiet, it dispelled a bit of the haze caused by illness and suspicion in Shi Dami's heart.

Shi Dami drank a few doses of medicine, covered his head and slept again. His complexion seemed a little better, and his coughing was no longer so frequent and severe.

After a while, he woke up, stood up, and said to Chen Shou, who was standing by and was still energized by being tied up: "Chen Shou, I feel that my bones are getting looser. I will be able to set off tomorrow, but I can't stop because of my condition." The illness delayed the trip and missed important events.”

Chen Shou looked happy and responded hurriedly: "Dami, it's good that you can get better, but don't be pushy. If you are still feeling unwell, it doesn't matter if you rest for one more day. It's better to be safe. ”

Shi DaMi waved his hand.

"It's okay. I know what I'm doing. I'll get to the place early and get things done, so I feel at ease. I'll rest my mind tonight and set off early tomorrow morning."

After that, the two of them carefully planned their next journey, with the dim light of the candle reflecting on their faces.

Just as they were talking about their journey tomorrow, there was a sudden noise outside the window.

Sharp shouts and chaotic footsteps intertwined, breaking the tranquility of the night.

"Get out of my way! Don't even block my way!" A loud shout sounded like thunder, followed by a muffled "bang" and the scream of the waiter.

Chen Shou and Shi Dami looked at each other, and their expressions changed suddenly. Shi Dami hurriedly stood up, but was swaying due to weakness. Chen Shou was so anxious that he was restrained by the rope.

Then, the door was violently kicked open with a clang, and a burly man with a sinewy face and a body as tall as a bear stood at the door. He smelled of alcohol and had fierce eyes. He glanced at the room and spat: "Humph." , I’m in a bad mood today, let’s have some fun, please mind your own business!”

After saying that, Shi Dami forced himself to glare angrily: "You are causing trouble and disturbing people here, do you still have any law?"

Chen Shou raised his eyes and took a closer look at the big man's appearance. He saw that his face was full of beards, the roots of which were erect, and his eyes were as fierce as copper bells. He looked really fierce.

The big man had a sneer on his lips, his eyes were full of disdain, and he shouted in a rough voice: "You two, if you are sensible, get out of here. This house belongs to me today, and I want to have a good sleep here."

Chen Shou frowned, angry and annoyed, and asked loudly: "Why are you so unreasonable! We were here first, why should we be kicked out by you? Who are you, so domineering!"

But the big man stiffened his neck, cocked his head and shouted: "Huh, I'm happy with it. No one dares to interfere with my business in this territory. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude!"

After saying that, he shook his big fist, as if he was about to take action. The atmosphere in the room instantly became extremely tense, as if it was about to explode.

Shi Dami covered his chest and coughed violently several times. His face turned red from holding it in. After calming down, he angrily scolded: "Don't you have eyes to see that I am a patient? It's so abominable. They just want to take over our house without distinguishing between them. How can there be such a thing in the world?"

The big man curled his lips nonchalantly and replied angrily: "Huh, the other rooms in this store are full. I don't want to spend money, so just seeing you guys are free here, it will naturally be mine. Besides, the waiter in the store just now If you dare to stop me, he is the one who asked for it if I throw him out. I can't care whether you live or die at this moment. If you two have sense, get out of here. If you dare to resist, hum, I will throw you out together. You guys also have a try!”

As he said that, he took a few steps closer. The arrogant energy in his body became stronger and stronger, and the atmosphere in the room became more and more tense.

Chen Shou knew in his heart that the big man in front of him was an unreasonable master at first glance. If he were to be tough at this moment, he might not get any favors. As the saying goes, a good man will not suffer the immediate consequences, so it is better to avoid the sharp edge for the time being.

He hurriedly said to Shi Dami: "Da Mi, looking at this situation, we can't make sense with him. Let's go out first and don't suffer a loss here."

Although Shi Dami was unwilling, he also knew the current situation. He sighed helplessly and nodded.

Chen Shou suppressed the anger in his heart, tried his best to keep his tone calm, and said to the big man who was laughing maniacally: "Well, since you insist on occupying this room, we don't want to tangle with you any more. I'll give you the territory. I just want you to help me untie the rope first so that I can leave and avoid being in your eyes."

When the big man heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he laughed out loud as if he had heard something extremely funny. He leaned forward and backward with laughter. It took him a while to regain his composure, and asked jokingly: "Hey , Why are you, a grown man, still wearing a rope? Hahaha, that’s interesting!”

Even though he said this, he still walked over in a swaggering manner, reached out and roughly pulled the rope, and untied it for Chen Shou in a few times. While untying it, he muttered: "I really don't understand you people. What a mess." Some weird things.”

The two slowly walked out of the house. When the big man saw this, he became even more arrogant. He stood at the door and laughed unscrupulously. The laughter seemed particularly harsh in the night.

As soon as Chen Shou and Shi Dami walked into the corridor outside, they heard low moans and faint crying coming from the corner.

When I got closer, I saw that it was the waiter who was thrown out. He was huddled in the corner with a look of pain on his face and his body was shaking uncontrollably.

I think I was hit hard by that big man just now.

The two people hurriedly knelt down to check, feeling even more angry at the unreasonable big man.

The waiter wiped away his tears and said in a tearful voice: "I have been in this store for so long and I have seen all kinds of people, but I have never seen such a rogue owner. He just attacks when he comes up and doesn't say anything at all." A little bit of truth.”

Chen Shou frowned, his face full of indignation. After thinking for a moment, he said: "If it doesn't work, let's report it to the officials. We can't let him behave like this. We have to let the officials punish him."

After hearing this, the waiter shook his head with a grimace, and replied helplessly: "I'm afraid it's useless to report it to the official. Look at that man, with his fearless look, he is obviously a boss who doesn't hesitate to do anything. , maybe even the government won’t take it seriously, and if we go there, it’s just a waste of time, and it might even cause more trouble.”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but hum a few more times. It was obvious that the pain on his body had not yet healed, and his face was full of worry and helplessness.

Chen Shou hurriedly stretched out his hand and carefully helped the waiter up. After the waiter stood firm, he looked at the beast and Shi Dami with a guilty look on his face, and said quickly: "You two guests, it's my fault that I didn't stop that beast, and you were kicked out." , I feel really bad about it. Otherwise, I still have some space in my house. If you don’t mind, you can squeeze into my room and have a place to stay. "

Chen Shou said gently: "How can I dislike it? It would be great if you could take us in. Could you please show us the way?"

After hearing this, the waiter showed a look of relief on his face, nodded, and limped to lead the way, leading the two of them to his small room, muttering to the tough guy from time to time. The words of complaint of a big man.

Soon, under the guidance of the waiter, they arrived at the room.

As soon as you enter the house, you can see that the furnishings in the house are extremely simple. Apart from a shabby-looking bed, there are only a few simple wooden benches in the corner and a table with a corner missing. The space is also very small.

The waiter scratched his head in embarrassment, pointed to the bed, and said to Shi Dami: "This guest who is in poor health, please sleep on this bed. You are still weak, so you must have a good rest. I'll give you a call." The floor will be fine, I’m used to it and it won’t be a problem.”

After hearing this, Shi Dami felt a warm current in his heart, his eyes were slightly red, and he said with emotion: "You little brother, why are you so kind to us? We met by chance, but you take care of us like this."

The waiter waved his hands repeatedly and smiled naively: "Oh, don't say that. This happened in the store because I didn't stop the evil guy and made you suffer. I feel guilty. It's nothing to do such a small thing. Don't be polite and just live in peace." (End of this chapter)
