Four Lifetimes Dream

"You..." Huan Qian fell to the ground. Just as he was about to curse, he felt a chill on his neck and saw a sword at his neck.

"Apologize!" Luo Ci Yan said coldly.

"Is there any law these days? I have to apologize after helping others!" Huan Qian looked unconvinced.

He didn’t believe that this man would dare to commit murder in the street under the feet of the emperor!

"Help others? Young man, I've been watching you for a long time. From the very beginning, you were the one who bumped into the girl. Not only did you not apologize, but you kept humiliating her. Come on, tell me, how did you help her?" At this time, an old lady really couldn't stand it anymore, so she stood out from the crowd and asked.

Originally I wanted to just watch and let it go based on the principle of not interfering in other people's business, but this young man was really too much. Not only did he not apologize after doing something wrong, but he even acted like he was right. He didn't even feel ashamed of bullying a helpless little girl like this!

"That's right, young man. Since you said it was mentioned in a book, why don't you dare to tell us the title of the book? Don't look down on us as just common people, but we have read more books than you have eaten meals!" A man over fifty years old also stood up at this time.

This young man kept talking about what was written in the book, that a high-ranking official could do this. At such a young age, he was so arrogant and unreasonable. If he really became an official in the future, he would definitely be a disaster to the local area!

What's more, among this group of people, any one of them at random would probably be ten or a hundred times more knowledgeable than him!

Although they are just ordinary people and cannot compare with those wealthy families, this is the capital, the most prosperous place in the entire country. The people who live here cannot be ignorant!

"I don't know when such a vulgar person appeared in the capital. Whose child is this? He is so uneducated!"

"I think he's probably a country boy from some village. He's so sarcastic and mean!"

It’s not that they look down on people from the countryside, but they really look down on people like Huan Qian who are so rude and rude!

How can a person who doesn't even have the most basic respect and etiquette between people deserve the respect of others?

"That's right, if my child was as unreasonable as him, I would beat him until he learns how to behave himself!"

"..."

Once someone dares to speak out, more and more people will follow suit!

"What do you know? She is just a little beggar. Shouldn't she be grateful that I can give her a bite of food? Besides, everything in her hand was obtained for free. How can she have the face to ask for compensation from me!" Huan Qian still did not repent.

In his eyes, beggars are as lowly as mud and are not even worthy of carrying his shoes!

"What's wrong with beggars? Are beggars not born by their parents? Are they not human beings? Young man, you were born to be spoiled by your parents. This is your blessing, but it is their tragedy to raise you like this!"

"If she hadn't been forced to do so, and it wasn't fate's trick, do you think she would want to be like this? Doesn't she want to enjoy the company of her family like ordinary people? How old is she? Is this what she wants? You can choose not to help her, and you can choose not to sympathize with her, but you can't bully her like this!"

"The girl also said that she doesn't steal or rob, she earns her living by her own ability. If you really don't accept it, you can go beg for food. If you can get food, it's your ability. If you can't, then you are incompetent! What kind of ability is it to bully a little girl in the street?"

"Put yourself in their shoes, young master, why don't you think about it, if it was you who was treated like this today, how would you feel, would you feel comfortable?"

Huan Qian's words immediately aroused public anger. They had also climbed out of the mud step by step, so they knew the pain and despair of being unable to control themselves!

They had also been bullied like Li Sheng, and at that time they thought, how great it would be if there were fewer people in the world who took advantage of others’ misfortunes!

It is because they have been caught in the rain before, so when they see someone else caught in the rain now, they choose to stand up. Even if they cannot give her an umbrella, they will never tear off the last layer of window paper protecting her.

"How could my master become a lowly person like her?" the servant boy sneered!

The young master's family is a well-known landlord in the village. These people are so ignorant!

"Besides, young man, you have to be truthful when you speak! The candied haws in the little girl's hand was bought from me, and you keep saying that she begged for it. Did you see it? Even if she really begged for it, what does it have to do with you?" The boss who sold candied haws couldn't stand it any more. The child's words were really rude.

"You...you adults, how can you bully a child like me? Aren't you ashamed?" Huan Qian was furious and pointed at them and yelled.

"Oh! So you also know the word shame? Then you bullied a little girl, were you ashamed? Don't make it sound like we bullied you, we are just discussing the matter!"

If he wasn't really too much, who would want to bother with him?

Why do you think a naughty child is called a naughty child? It is because the only thing between him and a child is education!

"That's right. The way you dress, young master, you look like a child from a poor family, right? You have just arrived in the capital, so you may not know the rules of our capital. We have always valued harmony. If someone wants to break these rules, you can't afford the consequences!" At this time, a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old walked up to Huan Qian, looked down at him, and then continued to speak.

"I just heard what the young master said. He kept talking about beggars. In general, don't you look down on people who are poorer than you? According to your way of thinking, in my eyes, and even in the eyes of all of us, you are no different from a beggar!"

If you randomly pick any person on the street, you will find that he is not only more educated than him, but also has more money than him. Then ask him what he is so proud of?

What she hated most was people like him who were obviously incompetent but still extremely arrogant. He was a pheasant who came to the capital and wanted to pretend to be a phoenix without even realizing his own weight!

It would be fine if their conditions were not as good as others, but they actually thought they were smart. It's really disgusting. Even the nobles are not as arrogant as these two!

The principle that the people in the capital have always adhered to is that it is better to have less trouble than more, so they generally don't want to meddle in other people's business, but not caring doesn't mean that they are all blind!

"You...you guys..." Huan Qian looked furious, what a group of ignorant lowly people!

When he passes the imperial examination and becomes an official of the imperial court, the first people he will deal with will be them!

"What? You're not going to apologize yet?" Luo Ci Yan's patience was gradually wearing out, and he tightened his grip on the sword a little more.

"I'm... sorry!" Huan Qian felt the pain in his neck and shouted hurriedly.

At this time, he still needs to save his life first! As for these people, he will make them pay the price in the future!

"That's it? It seems that the young master still doesn't want to live!" Luo Ci Yan was obviously dissatisfied and added another bit of strength in his hand.

In an instant, bright red blood oozed from Huan Qian's neck.

"Please... please spare my life, I... I was wrong, I'm sorry..." Huan Qian had never experienced such a scene before. He was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, begging for mercy.

"It's no use apologizing to me!" Luo Ci Yan looked at Li Sheng who was silent beside him. His meaning was very clear. It would only be useful if he apologized to her.

This time, Huan Qian understood what he meant. He immediately crawled to Li Sheng's feet, grabbed her clothes, and begged for mercy.

"Little beggar...ah no...no, little girl, I was wrong, I shouldn't have bullied you, I...I was really wrong, please, don't hold grudges, forgive...forgive me..."

"Yes, little girl, please be kind and spare my master!" When the servant boy saw Huan Qian begging for mercy, he also knelt down unwillingly and begged for mercy from Li Sheng!

Li Sheng had no expression at first, but then she suddenly seemed to be frightened. She pulled up her clothes and hid behind Luo Ci Yan, not daring to look at the two people on the ground.

Her clothes were already worn out, and when she pulled them suddenly, there was a "rip" sound, and a big hole was torn in the hem.

Seeing that it was almost time, Luo Ci Yan put away his sword, took out a few ingots of silver from his waist, and threw them at Huan Qian.

"By the way, I see that your condition is not that good. Today I am happy, so I will give you some silver. Take it back and use it to heal your brain. Then buy some serious books to nourish your brain. Next time, don't bite anyone you see. Get out now!"

"You...you guys...I will remember...remember you!" After being released, Huan Qian immediately rolled to the side.

He was just about to get up and leave, but then as if he remembered something, he crawled back, picked up the silver on the ground and the copper coins he had just thrown at Li Sheng, put them all into his sleeves, and then crawled away.

"Little girl, are you okay? Don't be afraid, the bad guy is gone!"

After Huan Qian left, an old lady walked up to Li Sheng and comforted her.

"Little girl, don't be afraid. In our capital, except for the man just now, the rest are all very good people. No one will bully you in the future!" The girl who just stood up and spoke reached out and rubbed Li Sheng's head, and spoke gently.

This child, with his timid appearance, is really pitiful!

"I'm fine. Thank you, brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts!" The fear, grievance and cowardice on Li Sheng's face disappeared without a trace in an instant. She showed a big smile and her voice sounded sweet.

Otherwise, why did she say Huan Qian was stupid before? He didn't even look at where the capital was, and he dared to act wild here!

This is not his small village. No one here will flatter him just because he is the son of a landlord!

In this capital city where many talented people are hiding, even the family with the most difficult life can be ten times richer than his landlord family!

These people have all struggled in the mud before, and Huan Qian is just openly provoking them. Even if she has nothing to do with it today, sooner or later, he will be taught a lesson!

Now she can finally be sure that the author of the original book is crazy!

Let's not talk about the male and female second pair, who are both very talented. Just look at any person on the street. Which one of them is not better than Huan Qian? Which one of them can't be the protagonist? But the author chose to let such a stupid person be the protagonist. Isn't he afraid of arousing the anger of the readers?

"Little girl, this is a little gift from me. Use it to buy some delicious food!" An old lady took Li Sheng's hand and put some silver coins into her hand.

"That's right, little girl. You've been wronged today, so you must eat something delicious!"

The other lady did the same and stuffed the silver into Li Sheng's little hand.

Although they can't help her for the rest of her life, any help they can provide is helpful!

"Little sister, I see that your clothes are no longer wearable. Take this and go to the store to pick out some clothes!" The girl was very generous. She directly pulled off the purse from her waist and put it in Li Sheng's hand.

Someone took the lead, and the others began to gather around, offering silver coins, copper coins, food, and everything else!

Li Sheng was almost overwhelmed by these things.

"Thank you all for your kindness!" Just when everyone was about to give her something, Li Sheng's soft voice rang out in the crowd.

“But I can’t accept these things!”

"Little girl, why are you being so polite to us?"

The old lady thought she was embarrassed and comforted her.

They are just little things that can help her get through a few days. How can she not want them?

"I passed by a private school before, and the teacher there said that no reward should be given without merit. I didn't help anyone, so I can't take their things for no reason. Moreover, the teacher also said that everyone's life is not easy, and every meal, every needle and thread is the result of blood and sweat. So, I appreciate the kindness of my brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, but I really can't accept these things!"

She came out wearing this outfit today not to gain sympathy. It was completely beyond her expectation that Huan Qian would come to cause trouble!

These are all ordinary people. Life in this capital city must be difficult. How could she accept their hard-earned money?

Finally, after Li Sheng's repeated refusals, everyone took back the money they had given out. At the same time, under their strong request, Li Sheng had to accept some food!

Just like that, after nearly two quarters of an hour, the people surrounding Li Sheng finally dispersed completely!
