The Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness of Crossing

Chapter 122 The Lantern Festival on the Moon Evening

Yuan Cuixiao was slightly startled, then pointed at the child and said: "His family is not around, how can we continue to let him run around, I will take him back to the mansion first, starve him clean and then talk about it."

Ding Zhaohui smiled lightly, with dimples on his cheeks: "It's so good." As he said, he put one hand on the boy's back, and lifted him to Yuan Cuixiao like a chicken.

The child kicked his legs and howled desperately: "Don't! Don't! I don't want to go with her!"

Yuan Cuixiao didn't expect that Ding Er would respond in this way, she was in a daze for a moment, and suddenly, she heard a female voice not far away calling anxiously: "Yan'er! Yan'er!"

The child was shocked when he heard this, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Mom! I'm here! I'm here!"

"My darling! I'm so desperate to be a mother! Give way! You all give way!" Everyone followed the prestige, and saw a fat middle-aged woman pushing and yelling as she fought her way out of the crowd.

Ding Zhaohui took a step sideways, blocked Yuan Cuixiao's body and let go, the boy named Yan'er immediately regained his spirit and rushed towards the woman.

"Mother! Mother!" Yan'er threw herself into the woman's arms, hooked her neck with one hand, and pointed behind her with the other, crying loudly in aggrieved way, "Woooo...they all bullied me..."

"Who?!" Hearing his cry, the woman saw a lot of dust on his brand-new clothes, she thought that her child had suffered so much, she couldn't help being furious, and blurted out, "Who is so shameless? Bullying an eight-year-old child is not afraid of being struck by a knife or lightning!"

Before Yuan Cuixiao could speak, the crowd was already in an uproar.

A bystander who witnessed the whole incident said: "Sister-in-law, it is really wrong for you to scold others without knowing the reason. Your son ran around and fell into the embankment, which almost caused a catastrophe. If it weren't for the young masters over there With the help of the girl, how can you still see your own child."

Someone pointed to Xia Chan who was still sitting on the ground and said, "That's right. Your son knocked that little lady down, causing her legs and feet to be injured. You mother, instead of apologizing, you are here viciously cursing One pass, but it can be done.”

The woman knows that she is wrong, but this kind of arrogant person is often wrong no matter how wrong she is, and she will not give up. She put her arms around her boy, and quibbled: "He is only a little older! Whose boy is it?" Are you not naughty? Your children don’t make mistakes? You didn’t make mistakes when you were young? Even if there is something wrong, can’t the adults forgive you? If you have to frighten the children, you will be satisfied!”

Someone in the crowd laughed and scolded: "Ms. Wu, you are too thick-skinned!"

Some people also said: "As the saying goes, 'a loving mother often loses her children', today I know that shrews are even worse."

The woman was criticized by everyone, and she couldn't hold back her face. She glanced at Xia Chan, saw her narrow sleeves and short jacket, and her appearance was ordinary, sitting on the ground alone. As a female envoy, how can she be so precious? Presumably the master is also a delicate boudoir daughter. If there are too many people, can she still fight with herself?The two handsome young men next to him can be seen to be kind-hearted and soft-hearted, and they will never fight with women.Thinking of this part, looking back at those who interrupted, he said forcefully: "Where did my son bump into you? I want you to follow me and talk nonsense! I really have too much time to worry about!"

Yuan Cuixiao turned back to Xia Chan with a sullen face, helped her up, and said to the woman, "Mother Yan'er, listen, my companion injured his ankle because your son hit her. Tell me , how should it end?"

When Yan'er heard her voice, she shook her head and huddled in the woman's arms, crying, "Mother! She was the one who beat me up and said she would take the child to her house and not give him food. .”

After hearing this, the woman opened her eyes angrily and said, "Is there such a thing?!"

Yuan Cuixiao deserved it and simply said, "Yes!"

Angrily, the woman gouged her from head to toe, she felt that this woman's appearance and temperament were extremely incompatible, and she was probably a difficult person to deal with.Then I thought again, so what if it was difficult?It's just a little lady who hasn't left the court, and she has made a big fuss, not to mention losing face, can she still find her husband's family in Xiangyang City?Immediately he straightened his chest, crossed his waist and said, "Which family are you from? Your words and deeds are so savage! My son is only eight years old, and there are many people on the road. He accidentally bumped into that girl, and it was not intentional. He himself You have also suffered and learned a lesson. You are stubborn and bully him a little baby, I have never seen such an unreasonable little lady like you!"

Yuan Cuixiao smiled grimly: "Arguing with you, isn't it just playing the piano to a cow?"

As soon as the voice fell, the surroundings laughed again and again.

The woman talked a lot, but unexpectedly bumped into a rubber nail, thinking that her aunt who fought in the civil war, fought in the neighborhood outside, and lived in all directions, without defeat, how could she be crushed in front of a delicate woman.So he cheered up and shouted: "You little lady, you are really sharp-tongued and mean-spirited! I'm not afraid that you won't be able to find your husband's family in the future, and you will die of old age in your boudoir!"

Xia Chan's eyes were red with anger, and she blurted out: "My little lady is right. You savage, don't say anything wrong about her!"

The woman said aggressively: "If she can do it, I will do it! Let me tell you, little girl, don't expect your little lady to get married in this life!"

"You!" Xia Chan was about to argue, when Yuan Cuixiao pinched her wrist forcefully. The latter raised her eyebrows and said, "It's none of your business whether I get married or not? Yan'er, his mother, you just said 'Too busy to worry about', I still can't figure out how to explain it, but now it's clear." Seeing the woman's face turning blue and white for a while, she said slowly, "Besides, if If you are like this, you can still find your husband's family, so why should I worry about it?"

The crowd of onlookers laughed again.

Those who have good things can't help but tease: "Sister-in-law, your husband's family must have burnt incense for eight lifetimes to cultivate a daughter-in-law like you."

Another old man persuaded and said: "Ms. Yan'er, the injury was caused by your child after all. It doesn't matter if you are young or unintentional. If you make a mistake, it's a mistake. What's the point of apologizing?" In my humble opinion, if you take the child to apologize to the two young ladies and pay for some medicine, they will no longer bother with you. The Mid-Autumn Festival reunion night, the noisy and noisy scene spoils the scenery, in fact, why bother. "

Although Shen Zhongyuan felt that the shrew was hateful, he didn't want the situation to become serious, so he cupped his hands at the old man and said: "The old man is right."

Immediately, there was a lot of echoing voices around.

When the woman heard that she had to pay for the medicine, she was in a hurry, and she jumped up and said rudely: "It's reasonable! You have been making a fuss for a long time, and you have joined forces to extort money from my old lady! It only costs 30 taels to buy a girl at the dental shop. What are you doing?" How much do you want, let's make a price!"

Xia Chan burst into tears with a "wow", covered her face and said, "You...you spitting blood!"

"Sigh. You are stubborn." The old man who persuaded the peace couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

Yuan Cuixiao didn't say a word, let go of Xia Chan, and walked towards the woman expressionlessly.

Jin Mudan hurriedly stepped forward to support Xia Chan, facing Yuan Cuixiao's back, called out "sister" anxiously, seeing that she didn't turn her head back, but couldn't utter a word of persuasion.

Seeing Yuan Cuixiao approaching, the woman's agitated expression was gradually covered by fear, she turned sideways, hugged the child tightly with her arms, her breath was clearly lacking: "What are you going to do?"

Yuan Cuixiao smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'm not going to hit your son, I'm going to hit you." Following the word "you", he raised his palm and slapped the woman loudly. In an instant, five bright red fingerprints appeared on the fat and white face, against which the face was distorted due to pain, it was shocking.

The woman let out a scream like killing a pig, her eyes stared at the perpetrator angrily, meeting her piercing eyes, her hot face seemed to be pierced through, her whole body trembled, and then she slumped on the ground , kept howling.

A gleam of pleasure flashed across Yuan Cuixiao's heart, and she patted the sticky face powder on her hands and said, "This slap on the power is the medicine fee you paid, it's worth it. If you don't accept it, just go to the prefect's yamen to submit a certificate." .”

When Jin Mudan heard this, she became a little anxious, and hurriedly called to Ding Zhaohui who was the closest, "Second Brother Ding." She pointed to Yuan Cuixiao, motioning for him to take her away.

Ding Zhaohui didn't move, a faint smile appeared between his brows, and he said: "Good fight."

The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and it happened to reach Yuan Cuixiao's ears. Her heart trembled, and she couldn't help but look back at Ding Er, her eyes met, feeling a little helpless secretly.

"Excuse me! Excuse me!" A skinny man with a pale yellow complexion and two companions dressed as servants separated from the crowd and came in a hurry. When he saw the crying woman and child clearly, he couldn't help but exclaimed. , "This is... what's wrong with this?!"

The woman suddenly raised her face, and said with a ferocious expression: "You damn ghost! Why did you only find it now?! My old lady was beaten by that little bitch! Yan'er was also bullied by them!" Quickly turned over and jumped up, grabbed the man's half goatee beard, and shouted hoarsely, "Hurry up and avenge me!"

The man's facial features were all tangled together, he endured the pain and said: "My lady, if you don't give up, how will you get over it for your husband?"

The onlookers were all giggling.

The woman let go of her hand with a "hum", and the man staggered two steps and stood still. With mung bean triangular eyes, he squinted and glanced at Ding Zhaohui and his party, and boldly shouted: "You! How dare you beat my wife ?”

Yuan Cuixiao turned around and said to him: "Look at your poor moral character, I repaired this dominatrix for you today out of good intentions, lest she stay at home with a bad child and go out to humiliate her." Door style. Tsk tsk, if I were you, it would be too late to be grateful. But you are yelling here, it's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin—you don't know a good heart."

Men have lived in the suburbs for a long time, and the only ones they see are country girls and women, such a beautiful and arrogant woman in front of me, let alone have seen it before, even if I have never heard of it. Standing there, not knowing what to do.

When the woman saw that the momentum was wrong, she threw herself sideways at the man, clenched her fat palms into fists, beat his chest and back alternately, and cried, "You murderer! I have been married to your Zhang family for nearly 20 years. , to raise children for you, a wimp, and to manage the family business. If I hadn't been uplifting, would your Zhang family's property have been passed on to you? You are better off, don't miss our husband and wife relationship, and when you see someone with more neat eyebrows and eyes, you will It’s like losing my soul, women and children don’t care! What’s the point of me being alive? I, I’m going to die today for you to see!” Saying that, she pretended to go to the river.

The surrounding crowd also had different expressions, some shook their heads and sighed, some looked contemptuous, and some laughed from ear to ear.

The man surnamed Zhang couldn't care what other people thought of him. When he saw the woman was anxious to commit suicide, he immediately panicked. He hastily stopped her and said, "Mistress, calm down! Mistress, calm down! I will vent my anger on you for my husband." Looking back, he ordered the two An accompanist said, "Bring the little lady who uttered wild words and make amends to Madam!"

When the two companions looked at me and I looked at you, and then looked at Ding Zhaohui and Yuan Cuixiao with the same color of butterflies on their heads, they hesitated to come forward.

The man surnamed Zhang pulled the woman back two steps, and urged: "What are you dawdling about? Hurry up!"

The two mustered up their courage, and as soon as they took a small step, Ding Zhaohui threw out the wishful sash from Ding Zhaohui's hand, one partner entered under the left side of the body, and the other side entwined under the right side of the side, the rope tightened, and he couldn't help himself , The two bumped into each other like sticking sesame seed cakes.The forehead of one of the short ones just hit the chin of the tall one.Immediately, one covered his head and the other pushed his chin, "Ouch", "Ouch" shouted loudly and couldn't stop.

The man surnamed Zhang is very cowardly by nature. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but tremble with fright. He was frightened and unable to get out, and suddenly felt his ankle tighten. When he looked down, the rope was wrapped around his ankle like a snake. With eyes pierced, he exclaimed in surprise: "My lady, help me!" Before he could finish speaking, he was pulled upside down by the rope and fell to the ground.

The woman had a wink at this moment, if she tossed the man surnamed Zhang to ruin, who would she (ravage) for the rest of her life, she hastily subdued and said: "The common people have no eyes, offend the two young ladies, I will never do it again next time." Dare! My lord has a lot, let the baby go!"

Ding Zhaohui didn't bother to tangle with them, and he didn't want to make any moves. He withdrew the rope and said coldly: "Get out!"

"Thank you, sir!"

"Thank you, sir!"

As if they were pardoned, the couple hurriedly dragged the child to escape, and the two companions followed closely behind.

After walking a few steps, a voice came from behind: "Stop."

Several people stopped in their tracks with difficulty. The man surnamed Zhang turned around and said with a shy face, "Little lady, what else do you want to teach?"

Yuan Cuixiao looked around at the crowd, and said leisurely, "Father Yan'er, you arrived late, so you don't know anything. Earlier, your precious son ran around on the embankment and knocked my companion into the river. Di. At a critical moment, if my companion hadn’t held your son, I’m afraid he would have fallen into the belly of a fish at this moment. Don’t think I’m lying. These neighbors and folks are all witnesses. It’s a big lifesaver like this. Well, you won't even show the slightest sign?"

Everyone chattered hotly.

"Isn't it?"

"The little lady sprained her foot, and his mother-in-law is still behaving badly."

"Pick out the money! Quickly get the money!"

The man surnamed Zhang blushed, clasped his hands together, and bowed to Xia Chan on the ground: "Little lady, Gao Yi, has shown kindness to the dog. Zhang is here to thank you."

Yuan Cuixiao looked bright, stretched out a hand, holding an embroidered handkerchief on the palm, glanced at the man surnamed Zhang and said: "I don't want to thank you for your kindness, it's quite affordable."

The man surnamed Zhang had a bitter face, reached into his bosom with one hand and searched for a long time, and took out a silver ingot, and put it into her palm tremblingly, he didn't dare to speak, he pouted his head and secretly looked at his expression.

Yuan Cuixiao weighed the weight, about ten taels, and pretended to be angry and said: "This is gone?! Just now your family said that buying a girl in the dental shop is only 30 taels. How come you, precious son, have a life? Is it worth such a little money?! Is it your own?"

When the onlookers said something, I said, "Too few! Too few!"

The man surnamed Zhang didn't even know if he said the son was his own, or he paid too little money, so he put his hands into his arms again and continued to touch.

Yuan Cuixiao said impatiently: "Don't mess around! Bring the purses together!"

The man surnamed Zhang reluctantly put a bulging purse into her hands.

Yuan Cuixiao weighed it again, it was heavy at least 50 taels, squinted at the woman, and saw that her back was turned to everyone, her plump body was shaking all the time, she couldn't tell whether it was from anger or distress.Then he said loudly: "Mother Yan'er, your husband paid all the money in his pocket! Don't you think I'm blackmailing him?"

The woman said in a low voice, "Young lady is fair, and women don't dare to complain anymore."

Yuan Cuixiao thought to herself: I'm sorry that you don't dare... chuckle lightly: "It's fine if you understand."

The man surnamed Zhang bowed and said: "Little lady, can we go back now?"

Yuan Cuixiao waved her hands loudly: "Go."

The man surnamed Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and walked away in two steps.

Yuan Cuixiao suddenly remembered something, and suddenly said: "Stop."

The man surnamed Zhang staggered and turned around tremblingly, but he didn't even have the confidence to ask questions.

Yuan Cuixiao couldn't bear it when she saw it, and she said kindly: "My heart is like a face, so I even pretended it. Yan'er's father, go back and let your family members practice female training in a good way."
