The Concubine of Crossing

Li Xiao didn't care about Zhu Xiaowu who passed out. Although his strength had grown a lot recently, he knew in his heart that kicking Zhu Xiaowu could only make Zhu Xiaowu unconscious, but not seriously injured.

He walked over and rubbed Li Shu's head, his voice softened rarely, "Are you scared? Did you hurt anywhere?"

Li Shu's heart, which had been raised all the time, slowly fell to the ground after seeing Li Xiao.

Hearing Li Xiao's words, Li Shu's eyes were slightly reddened, and he finally acted like a child. The strength he had to face alone in the predicament turned into a deeper grievance after Li Xiao came.

However, such a weak expression only appeared on Li Shu's face for a moment and then disappeared quickly. The hostility on his face was restrained because of Li Xiao's concern. Li Shu was afraid that Li Xiao would not be clear, so he explained everything in a simple and clear manner. I said it again.

It turned out that Li Yueban's uncle hadn't been honest for long after being cleaned up by Li Xiao that day. After many trials in the past few days, after confirming that Li Xiao was not there, he intensified and chased him directly into the shop, eating their buns for nothing.

Several children were aggrieved, but there was nothing good to do.

Li Yueban's uncle is idle around, and has long been a well-known rascal.

Li Shu also beat up this rascal in a place where no one was around, and it stopped like this for a few days.

But Lai Zi always healed his scars and forgot the pain, and he must take revenge. Early this morning, Li Yueban's uncle came again, and as soon as he came, he pointed at Li Yueban and scolded him, falsely accusing Li Yueban of stealing Zhu's house money.

Li Shu actually felt a little regretful in his heart, he didn't expect things to turn out like this.

When Li Shu was talking, several children surrounded him and looked at Li Xiao timidly.

They are all beggars, and they are used to being scolded and beaten. In fact, they don't care about things like this today.

But Li Xiao is so kind to them, but this is in Li Xiao's shop.

Now that it has become like this, it will be difficult for this shop to continue to open.

So far, all they can do for Li Xiao is to look at the small things like the shop, but they can't do such small things well, they don't know what else they can do for Li Xiao.

Li Xiaoman rolled his eyes, quickly opened the steamer, took out a few buns from inside, and handed them to Li Xiao expectantly, "Brother Xiao, eat buns, I made them!"

When she said this, although her mouth was full of a little pride, her eyes were full of anxiety, as lively as her, and now her eyes were full of fear and anxiety.

Li Xiao feels distressed, they are still just children.

Rubbing their heads one by one, Li Xiao comforted, "It's okay, isn't it just a steamed stuffed bun shop? In the future, we will open ten or eight bundling shops all over the whole Pucheng... No, Pucheng is too small, there are more than ten steamed stuffed bun shops We won't be able to make much money, so we'll spread the buns all over the Dagu country in the future!"

Hearing Li Xiao's words, the children's sluggish expressions immediately cheered up, and they all looked at him with shining eyes. Li Xiaoman counted on his fingers, "One for Brother Xiao, one for Brother Shu, one for Brother Yueban..." Counting After a long time, she opened her eyes wide, "Ah, there are so many, each of us can't take care of a shop!"

Li Si slapped her on the head, "You are stupid! If you can't drive it, please ask the shopkeeper to help! I heard that's what the Luo family does." When talking about the Luo family, his face was full of The color of admiration.

Li Ya interrupted, "I heard that the entire Pucheng is owned by the Luo family."

Li Yueban shook her head, "Impossible, impossible, you must have misunderstood, how can such a big Pucheng belong to the Luo family?"

The children talked a lot, and the topic turned to the Luo family for some reason. As the richest man in Pucheng, the Luo family did not say that they owned the entire Pucheng, but most of the shops in Pucheng belonged to the Luo family.

Countless ordinary people depend on the Luo family to live, and naturally many people are willing to discuss their topics.

"I heard that the Luo family's caravan is back." Li Xuancao, who was always quiet, interjected.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the children lit up, "I heard about it too, I don't know when Fenbao will be!"

"Fenbaohui?" Hearing an unfamiliar word, Li Xiao was a little curious.

"I know this!" Li Xiaoman hurried over, and excitedly said to Li Xiao, "The goods brought back by the Luo family's caravan were distributed to various shops of the Luo family, and they are full of good things!"

Li Shu added, "Merchant ships can't reach Pucheng. The Luo family built a wharf on the bank of the Qinglong River, and the cargo of the caravan is parked there. Just wait for Master Luo to send a message, and the people under him will move back... At that time The long line passed by, and the long line came back again, it looked very spectacular, so there was the saying of Fenbaohui.”

Hearing the children's chattering explanations, Li Xiao had a new understanding of the wealth of the Luo family.

At this moment, Zhu Xiaowu, who was unconscious on the ground, opened his eyes, rubbed his aching head and buttocks, looked around, and when he saw Li Xiao's face clearly, he subconsciously wanted to back away. In the end, because his back was leaning against the wall, he couldn't back away, so his eyes became more frightened, and he covered his crotch almost subconsciously. Obviously, Li Xiao's threat last time was still fresh in his memory.

Li Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth, with a disgusted expression on his face.

Zhu Xiaowu hurriedly leaned against the wall and moved back, but Li Xiao came over and grabbed his collar. Li Xiao said suspiciously, "You still dare to make trouble, it seems that your little brother really doesn't want it anymore."

Zhu Xiaowu, who was about to grab Li Xiao's hand, hurriedly went to cover it again, his whole body hung on Li Xiao's hand as if he had no bones, and said a little embarrassingly, "Oh, misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding."

Li Xiao hooked the corner of his mouth, suddenly stretched out his fist, and swung it at Zhu Xiaowu, doing what Li Shu had wanted to do a long time ago but didn't dare to do because of the many people in the shop.

Zhu Xiaowu let out a scream, covered his face with his hand that was still covering his crotch just now, and cried like a child, "Don't hit me, don't hit me..."

Li Xiao: "..."

Children: "..."

Li Xiaoman pouted, "I'm still crying at such an old age... I don't even cry when I'm beaten."

Who among them was not brought up by beating?If you can bear it, you can bear it, if you can't bear it, you will die silently. Children who are not hurt by no one will not cry.

For such a big man like Zhu Xiaowu, he burst into tears after being punched, which made these children feel unbearable to look at him directly.

Li Xiao was also a little surprised, he had only taught him a lesson last time, logically speaking, this person dared to come to his door, he should have been prepared, what kind of trouble did he cry when he came here?

He cried out before he started to extract a confession from this kind of door-to-door seeking trouble, and this was the first time he had encountered it.

If a few little guys were crying like this, Li Xiao would probably soften his heart a little bit, but it's a pity that such a big man was crying, and Li Xiao couldn't think of softening his heart. If he didn't come over just in time, he didn't know what the children would be bullied into. Sample.

Li Xiao walked over and kicked the man, "Why are you crying? Why didn't you cry when you bullied someone just now!"

His kick was a bit harsh, and Zhu Xiaowu groaned again when he kicked him.At this moment, Li Xiao raised his head, squinted at the crowd watching, his eyes were cold, "These children belong to my family, if anyone dares to bully my children..."

Speaking of this, Li Xiao exerted a little force on his feet, and Zhu Xiaowu, who was trampled under his feet, let out a miserable howl like killing a pig.The people who found that Zhu Xiaowu was fine and started to gather around to watch the excitement quickly dispersed, but with Li Xiao's eyes, they would be in danger if they continued to watch even if it wasn't lively.

After all the spectators dispersed, Li Xiao dragged Zhu Xiaowu, who was like a dead dog, into the shop.The space inside is small, and a few children are adding two big men, directly squeezing the entire space to the brim.

Li Xiao has been observing Li Yueban's reaction. Although this person is indeed a scumbag, he is Li Yueban's uncle. People in this era pay more attention to blood relationship. If he beats someone up, Li Yueban will bear hatred On, it would be a bit of a loss.

Fortunately, Li Yueban didn't show any displeasure. Instead, after Li Xiao dragged him in, he went up and kicked him, and he kicked again as if he was puzzled.

Li Shu and Hemerocallis didn't move, and the other little ones sneaked over to mend their feet. It was obvious that Zhu Xiaowu's behavior made these children angry.

Li Xiao looked angrily and thought it was funny.

In fact, he was also angry, let alone the future business of the shop, just the safety of the children made him terrified.

Seeing the child venting his anger now, he didn't say a word. Anyway, the child is still young and his strength is limited, so he can't make a problem.

Although the children can't fight, they still hurt. Zhu Xiaowu kept yelling and begging for mercy, "Don't hit, don't hit, it hurts, I don't dare to come again, please Please stop fighting!"

Normally, he wouldn't be afraid of these dolls, but there was an evil star standing beside him. If he dared to do something, Zhu Xiaowu can guarantee that it would be difficult for him to even walk out today!

Li Xiao finally said, "Okay, be good, don't hit me."

Only then did the children stop, all of them were out of breath due to exerting a little force, and their little flesh-colored faces, which had grown a little flesh-colored because of the better food recently, also turned red.

Zhu Xiaowu finally stopped howling, he was 40 years old, crying like a child with hazy eyes.Such a person can be seen as the result of excessive pampering since childhood.

Only then did Li Xiao take the time to ask, "What are you doing in our shop?"

Zhu Xiaowu glanced at Li Xiao cautiously, Li Xiao made a gesture to kick him again, Zhu Xiaowu hurriedly said, "Zhang Youqian said he would buy your shop back!"

Li Xiao didn't know Zhang Youqian, but the sentence about buying back the shop made him a little confused, "I don't know Zhang Youqian."

Zhu Xiaowu said cautiously, "This shop originally belonged to their family."

Li Xiao confirmed his thoughts, and immediately sneered, "I bought this shop from Mrs. Zhang and his wife, but I don't know which ones are rich and which ones are not. Besides, since it is the one who has money and wants to buy a shop, Why didn't you see him coming?"

Zhu Xiaowu faltered, "That Zhang has money to gamble, but Ben has no money. His parents had to sell this shop because he owed a lot of gambling debts."

Li Xiao instantly understood that if he wanted to buy a store without money, he had to find a way to lower the price of the store!What method can reduce the price? Naturally, the store cannot continue to open!

It's really a good idea, Zhu Xiaowu came here to make a fuss, let everyone reject this group of children from the bottom of their hearts, and naturally his shop will not be able to continue.

However, Zhang Youqian appeared like a kind person and bought the shop at the lowest price.

If Zhang Youqian's heart is more black, and if something happens to these children, he will be even less interested in opening a shop.Maybe after a while he could go to the government to report the loss, saying that the house deed was lost, and if he hadn't come out as a sufferer, maybe he could spend money to get a new one.

To be on the safe side, it seems that next time I have to go to the government to settle an account.Speaking of this, Luo Laibao still owns the deed of selling himself, if he asks for it, he doesn't know if he will return it.

Knowing what was going on, Li Xiao didn't want to bother Zhu Xiaowu any more, so he punched him twice and punished him severely, and warned that if he dared to come again, he would kick his little brother to death. I had to cover my crotch and stumbled away.

Li Xiao was thinking about how to deal with that Zhang Youqian, a person walked by the door and saluted Li Xiao, Li Xiao saw, isn't this the little Douzi next to Luo Laibao?

Recently, Luo Laibao has been running to him every day, and even got acquainted with Xiaodouzi, "Xiao Dou, why are you here? Where's your young master?" Li Xiao looked behind him almost subconsciously, strangely What's more, he doesn't have that familiar face of Master Luo.

Xiaodouzi's name is Xiao Douzi, and Luo Laibao is used to calling him Xiaodouzi at home, so many people in the Luo family call him Xiaodouzi, and when he suddenly hears Li Xiao calling his name, he still feels a little uncomfortable.

After saluting to Li Xiao, Xiao Dou said respectfully, "Sir, the young master has been quite busy in the past few days. I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for you to be short of people around me. Let the young one stay by your side for the next few days and do some errands for you. Chores."

When Xiao Dou faced Li Xiao, he was always respectful and polite, which made Li Xiao feel uncomfortable. Compared with him, he still liked Xiao Sanzi better.

Li Xiao waved his hand, "No need, the young master has always been used to you, but if you are not around suddenly, he probably won't be used to it, you should go back."

Xiao Dou did not leave as Li Xiao said, but instead glanced at the children, leaned closer to Li Xiao and whispered, "Zhang Youqian has been arrested, whether to report to the officer or beat him up depends entirely on the young master. order."

This side just found out that there is such a person, and the other side has already arrested the mastermind behind the scenes. Li Xiao has to say that Master Luo is really capable.

But after thinking about it, since Luo Laibao called people to pay attention to this side, then if something happened to the children, these people probably wouldn't just watch.

Thinking of this, while Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was slightly touched.

This kind of feeling seems to appear quite frequently recently, that man is showing his sense of existence to him all the time.

"Send it to the official." Li Xiao and Zhang Youqian have no grudge against each other. Compared to calling him over for a beating, it is better to send him directly to the official. You can deal with it as you like.

Xiao Dou nodded, and was about to turn around when Li Xiao arrived suddenly, "Wait, it happens that my house deed is still in time to transfer, so I'll go too."

Xiao Dou thought for a while, "If you don't worry, my lord, I can handle this little matter."

"Okay, the deed is in my house, and I'll get it to you later."

"Okay." Since he had to wait for Li Xiao's deed, Xiao Dou simply didn't leave, and stood quietly waiting for Li Xiao's order.

There was such a person in the room, and the children seemed very curious, but they were all sensible and didn't ask too much.

Li Yueban stared at Xiao Dou for a long time, then suddenly leaned into Li Shu's ear and whispered, "Do you think this person looks familiar?"

Of course Li Shu was familiar with him, and he also knew that this person was the number one servant of Young Master Luo.It was only a short period of time since I hadn't seen him, but this person seemed to have suddenly calmed down a lot. It was in contrast to the boy who used to fool around with Master Luo every day, so the children didn't recognize him for a while.

Li Shu glared at him calmly, and reprimanded in a low voice, "Don't ask if you shouldn't."

Li Yueban quickly shut up, pretending that she didn't say anything.

Xiao Dou was not far away from the two of them, Yiran heard the whispering of the two of them, glanced to this side lightly, and then looked away.

Hemerocallis was the most sensible, took out two buns from the steamer and handed them over, "Do you want to eat?"

Xiao Dou's eyes were slightly warm, he looked in Li Xiao's direction, saw him nodding at him, he took the bun, "Thank you."

Being thanked by others, Hemerocallis a little uncomfortable, replied no, and walked away.

Li Xiao cleaned up the house by himself, and the fire in the stove was also extinguished.Everything else is easy to say, but it is a waste to sell so many buns.

Xu Shi saw Li Xiao's embarrassment, and Xiaodouzi said very thoughtfully, "Young master, you are worried that the buns can't be sold like this? The mansion buys a lot of ingredients every day. I can send someone to the mansion. How much money will it cost?" It can be withdrawn directly at the cashier."

Li Xiao: "..."

Li Xiao coughed dryly, "Then I will trouble you."

Xiao Dou said politely, "This is what the little ones should do."

The steamed stuffed bun problem was solved, but Li Xiao was still facing a bigger problem. Now that the steamed stuffed bun shop was obviously closed, what should the children do?

I don't know if he really guessed Li Xiao's worry, Xiao Dou asked tentatively, "Is the young master worried about the children?"

Li Xiao: "..." Does this person have mind reading skills?Li Xiao looked at Xiao Dou in amazement, "Do you have a solution?" He had no choice but to discuss with Master Luo whether he could take the child to live in the mansion.

Xiao Dou replied, "The children who are in charge of the house and the shopkeeper all learn some characters. The house specially arranged a Zhuangzi and asked Mr. to teach them how to read. If you don't worry, you can send the children somewhere. With the servants of the Luo family looking after her, things like today will definitely not happen again."

Li Xiao: "..." Awesome, Xiaodouzi!It turns out that this is the quality of the legendary number one servant!
