Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up
Chapter 278 Just bad luck
"Let him go!" Li Dong said coldly.
"who are you?"
The bun stall owner looked Li Dong up and down. The young man looked tall, strong, and impressive. He was carrying a big sword on his back. He didn't know who he was.
But by saying this, he must have taken the matter into his own hands. In this case, maybe you can ask for compensation from him.
Thinking of this, the stall owner pointed at the thin boy: "Look, he stole my steamed buns, and they are still hidden on his body. If you pay for him, I will let him go." The stall owner is not afraid this time. This makes sense even to the heavens.
Let me go quickly, the thin boy twisted his body, trying to get rid of the stall owner's hand holding the collar, and the steamed buns in the clothes fell instantly.
Outside the crowd, when the beggars in ragged clothes saw this scene, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they swarmed around, frantically grabbing the steamed buns on the ground.
The thin boy was dumbfounded and his face turned red: "Stop, please return my buns and steamed buns!" As he said this, he clasped his hands to grab the steamed buns back, but his collar was grabbed by someone.
The beggar who moved quickly picked up the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth. He finished the bun in his mouth in a few seconds and ran away. The beggar who was a step behind could only shake his head with regret.
"How much do you want to pay? I'll give it to you!"
Hearing this, Li Dong turned around fiercely and saw that Magistrate Xu had stepped down from the carriage at some point and was standing behind him.
"master……"
Li Dong opened his mouth to say something, but Magistrate Xu raised his hand to stop him.
Seeing Magistrate Xu wearing a navy blue robe with a jade belt around his waist, showing nobility, and looking calm but powerful, the stall owner knew that the man in front of him was the one who could speak.
"Sir, these steamed buns cost one penny each, the vegetarian buns cost three cents each, and the meat buns cost two cents each. I have a total of 20 steamed buns in this cage, including vegetarian buns and meat buns, for a total of 45 cents."
In fact, this steamed bun was only worth 35 Wen, but the stall owner said it was 10 Wen too much.
Since someone wants to compensate him, of course he has to say more, otherwise he will suffer a big loss. If this happens, business will not be done and everything will be delayed.
"Presumptuous, do you know who our master is?" Li Dongyuan shouted angrily with his eyes open.
The stall owner was no longer afraid now, and looked at Li Dong without flinching: "Whoever you are, even if the King of Heaven comes, he still has to pay compensation for stealing my things! Besides, he voluntarily said that he wanted to I didn’t force him to make amends for this kid.”
"Li Dong, shut up!" Magistrate Xu waved his hand and said with a frown. What the stall owner said makes sense. If you steal something from someone else, you must pay compensation.
Since I said I would compensate this little kid, of course I have to keep my word. Besides, I am still the county magistrate. If others find out, how can I convince them with my virtue?
"Let him go and I'll pay for him!"
After saying that, Magistrate Xu turned around and walked to the carriage and said to Mrs. Dong: "Madam, give me 45 Wen!"
You know that if he goes down, nothing good will happen! Mrs. Dong couldn't help but frown.
But she knew the master's temper. Besides, as a county magistrate, he cared about people's livelihood, which proved that he was also a good official.
If the money is not given, he will definitely not give up. If the two of them have a quarrel because of this, it will be more gain than loss.
The little kid looked pitiful, and besides, these dozens of pennies were not much, and he could still afford it. Mrs. Dong took out her purse, counted 50 pennies, and handed it to Magistrate Xu.
Xu Hao rolled his eyes. His father was always kind-hearted. How could he save so many poor families in the world?
I thought the lady would say a few words, but instead of saying anything, she even gave him a few extra cents, which surprised Magistrate Xu.
"Here, count it!" As he said this, Magistrate Xu handed over the money.
I thought I had made another loss-making deal this time and had to consider myself unlucky, but I didn't expect that someone would pay for it. The stall owner smiled broadly and immediately let go of the thin boy's hand on his collar. I counted it, no more, no less, exactly 45 cents.
"Thank you so much, sir!" The stall owner smiled, showing his big white teeth, and bowed to salute.
Then he patted the thin boy on the head with his hand and said fiercely: "You stinky boy, you are lucky to have met this man, otherwise you would be better looking!" After that, he walked back to the bun stall.
Seeing that there was no excitement to be seen, the onlookers dispersed one after another. Not far away, a big man crossed his chest with his hands, looked at Magistrate Xu up and down, touched his chin thoughtfully, and after a while, turned and left.
The thin boy had sly and clever eyes. He looked up and down at Magistrate Xu and thought to himself: "Although this man looks serious, he is willing to pay for himself. He must be a kind person who is not short of money."
"Gulu gulu..." A voice rang.
Li Dong and Magistrate Xu both heard this and looked at the thin boy in unison. The thin boy's face suddenly became uncomfortable. This feeling was even more embarrassing than catching him stealing steamed buns.
"Li Dong, take him over to get some steamed buns!"
The thin boy's eyes suddenly lit up, and without waiting for Li Dong to step forward, he rushed to the steamer and stretched out his hand to take the bun.
"Hey……"
The bun stall owner slapped the back of his hand and cursed with wide eyes: "You brat, you still want to do this, are you looking for death?"
"stop!"
Li Dong quickly shouted: "Bring him two meat buns and three steamed buns!"
The stall owner was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing. He bent over and said with a smile, "Oh, it turns out I'm the one paying the bill. I'll take it right now." After saying that, he picked up the paper bag and put a few steamed buns in it.
"You brat! You are so lucky to have met such a kind person!" As he said that, the stall owner handed the bun to the thin boy.
The thin boy glanced at Magistrate Xu and said lightly: "Thank you, uncle!"
After saying that, he stretched out his dirty hands, grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth. He wolfed down the food and ate three big steamed buns in a short time.
Li Dong was stunned. He didn't expect that this kid could eat so well. He could only eat two big steamed buns in one meal.
Seeing him gobbling up food, Magistrate Xu couldn't help but feel pity. How long had this little kid been hungry? No wonder he looks malnourished.
"Dad, are you still going? If not, I'll get off the car." Xu Hao frowned and shouted impatiently to Magistrate Xu.
Li Dong raised his head and looked at the sun: "Master, it's getting late now. It's time for us to leave. We still have dozens of miles to go!"
Magistrate Xu nodded. Li Dong was right. It would take nearly an hour to walk these dozens of miles. Besides, this mountain road is not easy to walk.
The thin boy stuffed the two remaining buns into his mouth, touched his belly with satisfaction, and a smile appeared on his sallow face.
Only then did he realize that the kind man had actually gotten on the carriage. The thin boy couldn't help but feel anxious. He finally met such a kind person, but how could he let him go so easily? Followed quickly...
