Urban Dreams Come True System

Chapter 179, deliberately looking for trouble
After finishing the last account of the Giant Beast Mill, the sky has darkened slightly, and the night is coming soon.

Before dark, he had to rush back to see his mother.

Xiyou finished the work at hand and prepared to go back. This is what he looks forward to the most every day. Only by his mother's side can he feel a little comfort.

Walking on the streets of Shanlan City, there are many shops of all kinds, and small vendors on the street are selling their own small commodities.

Among these products, there are animal fur coats from the northern orc tribes, pearls from the sea in the south, local specialties from the east, and handicrafts from the tribes in the west.

The goods sold on the street are all kinds of relatively rough and simple commodities, and the prices are relatively cheap. They are very popular among ordinary people. The really expensive things will be placed on the counters of major shops for sale. The price will make ordinary people flinch. Yes, people who can afford these things are generally either rich or expensive.

There are also entertainers performing on the street. On both sides of the road, there are huge eucalyptus trees, with small animals like squirrels jumping around from time to time.

Xiyou walked up to a small peddler selling headgear, and looked at the various hair accessories spread out in front of the peddler, some inlaid with gold and jade, and some with pearls on them. Although the workmanship was a little rough, it was still very beautiful. gorgeous.

Thinking of his mother's long hair tied with straw ropes, Xiyou's eyes were filled with eagerness. He touched his pocket, and there was a silver coin in it.

General slaves have no personal freedom and no property of their own.

However, just two days ago, he was very serious in his work, checked out a mistake, and avoided some losses. Miss Situ Yue rewarded him with a silver coin.

It was the courage of this silver coin that made him dare to muster up the courage to come to the street vendor for the first time.

While Xiyou was choosing hair accessories, in a corner of the street, Situ Jian and a few followers were all rich kids who were shouting to avenge Situ Jian in Huanxi Restaurant. They all followed Xiyou closely. Behind You.

"You can all see clearly that it is that kid who caused me to have no pocket money for several months. When he goes to a place where no one is around, you will arrest him and beat him hard. Don't reveal it. reveal my identity."

There was a trace of resentment in Situ Jian's eyes, it was the guy in front of him who did it, and his sister would punish him.

Going without pocket money for months was killing him.

"Master Situ, please rest assured, we will definitely handle things properly."

The one who spoke was Shang Wu, the son of the president of the Hunter Association. This man had a hunchback and a strong back, and he was quite strong. He was the most capable of fighting among Situ Jian's followers.

The fur obtained from hunting by the Hunter Association is mainly supplied to the Giant Beast Mill. It is one of the main fur suppliers of the Giant Beast Mill, so it is always necessary to please the Giant Beast Mill.

"That's right, we must let Master Situ breathe a sigh of relief."

Several other attendants also echoed.

Xiyou didn't realize that someone was trying to harm him at all. He picked out all kinds of headgear from the street vendor, and finally picked out a hairpin with beaded flowers.

"Young man, you have really good taste. This bun is the most popular style this year."

The owner of the vendor praised it, it really is a little bit of self-promotion.

Xiyou didn't say anything, he took out silver coins to pay.

Xiyou chose this hair bun not because it was the most expensive, but because it was cheap and beautiful, and one silver coin could just buy it.

Looking at this hair accessory and thinking of his mother wearing a beaded bun, he felt some warmth in his heart.

After buying a bun, Xiyou walked around for a while. He didn't find anything particularly interesting, so he walked to his place of residence.

Both Xiyou's mother and son are slaves of the castellan's house, and they don't have their own house. They usually live in a woodshed in the outer courtyard of the castellan's house, and their status is lower than that of the servants.

So now he is returning to the outer courtyard of the city lord's mansion, and going back from the street must pass through a small alley.

At this moment, in this alley that must be passed through, there are already several people waiting here, and they are some of Situ Jian's little followers.

"Come on, come on, let's hide first."

In the depths of the alley, the boy named Shang Wu told the others to hide quickly.

At the other end of the alley, Situ Jian was watching all the movements in the alley with the mood of watching the excitement.

Today, he has to let it out, not because he hates his own slave named Xiyou so much, but because he likes to bully a weak guy like Xiyou in this way to show his sense of existence.

Especially this kind of guy who he looked down on originally, who dared to harm him even stopped his pocket money, which made him even more unacceptable.

Xiyou happily held the hair bun in his hand, and looked all the way. Since his mother was taken as a slave, he has never worn a decent headdress again, and his description is a bit haggard.

Unknowingly, Xiyou walked into this alley.

"Stinky boy, stop for me."

Suddenly, several well-dressed teenagers appeared in front of Xiyou, blocking his way. The leader was a sturdy young man wearing expensive animal skins.

"What are you going to do?"

Xiyou was stopped by someone, and hurriedly hid the hair accessories he had just bought into his pocket. He was a little scared, but he knew in his heart that the group of teenagers in front of him were all children of wealthy families, and these people usually had nothing to do. Idle egg pain, likes to bully others for fun.

"What are you doing? You actually dare to ask me what I'm doing. Are you hiding something secretly? Did you steal something?"

Shang Wu's eyes were sharp, and he had already seen what Xiyou hid in his pocket.

Without further ado, Shang Wu went up to search Xiyou's body, and several other teenagers surrounded him, staring at Xiyou with a smile on his face.

"No, I didn't do anything."

Xiyou became nervous, and tightly covered the pocket where the hair accessories were hidden.

"How dare you say no, you guys grab his hand for me, and I'll search for it."

When the other teenagers heard this, they all stepped forward with a smile and grabbed Xiyou's arms to prevent him from moving.

Shang Wu walked over and quickly found the hair ornament from Xi You's pocket.

"Bam—"

Shang Wu first punched Xiyou, then held up the hair ornament in his hand and said with a sinister smile: "According to the laws of our Julu Dynasty, slaves do not have any property rights. If this thing of yours was not stolen, where else could it be?" Come."

Shang Wu was very happy because he thought he had caught Xiyou's trick.
