Chapter 637 635: Lesson for the Unethical Vendor
After climbing for a while, the rain slowly stopped, and by now the day was completely bright. It should be past six o'clock, and the sunrise time had long gone. After climbing for more than twenty minutes, Lin Mu and Zhou Xun finally reached the top of Huashan. It was indeed a bit cold up there, and Zhou Xun put on the prepared clothes.Although it had rained, there were still quite a few people on the top, all crazily taking photos with their cameras, with some internet influencers busy posting on Weibo. The rain had just ended, and looking down at the mountains, they were shrouded in a layer of mist. Lin Mu took some photos of Zhou Xun, and the two had fun everywhere, feeling incredibly refreshed!
The sky gradually cleared up, and the sun was already casting its rays. Zhou Xun suddenly pointed to the mountains not far away and said, "Brother Lin, look, a rainbow!"
Lin Mu looked in the direction Zhou Xun was pointing, and indeed there was a rainbow, right above the waterfall. The mountain air, fresh from the rain, gave the sight of the rainbow an incredibly refreshing feeling!
"Haha, it wasn't in vain, after all! After enduring hardships, success is achieved; only after the storm can you see the rainbow! Haha, we finally reaped the rewards!" Lin Mu said joyfully.
"Yeah, it's beautiful," Zhou Xun said, looking at the distant mountains.
The two played on the mountaintop for a while, took a few photos, had some food, and then started descending the mountain.
Since they had come up at night, they hadn't been able to enjoy the scenery along the way. This time, as they went down, they observed the post-rain mountain view, and indeed, the beauty of Huashan was breathtaking, leaving one reluctant to leave!
However, some things greatly affected the mood for enjoying the beautiful scenery, especially those food stall owners who were only interested in money. Lin Mu and Zhou Xun returned to the place with the big noodle bowl stall, where they saw a few travelers resting. Beside them was a stall selling things like wooden bracelets.
Because of the rain, the stall had been covered with a rain tarp. A traveler, possibly too tired, sat down to rest beside the stall. When Lin Mu and Zhou Xun went down, the stall owner was untying the ropes of the rain canopy, and the water from it splashed all over a student-looking kid. The kid looked honest, wearing glasses, and angrily looked at the immoral owner while feeling the water all over him.
Meanwhile, the immoral owner acted as if nothing had happened, just rolled up the tarp, and completely ignored the kid.
Lin Mu frowned, "Damn it, isn't this bullying? That kid looks frail; if he doesn't change his clothes, he'll probably catch a cold."
Last night's series of events was already something Lin Mu couldn't tolerate; the business attitude of this stall owner was damaging Huashan's good reputation! In the eyes of the stall owner, there was only money; Huashan was just a money-making machine for them. And since that student was young and didn't dare to speak up, it seemed it was up to Lin Mu to stand up for justice!
"Hey, boss, you splashed water on that kid and didn't even say sorry? At the very least, you need to give the kid a change of clothes, right? What if he gets sick?" Lin Mu stepped forward and glanced at the immoral owner.
The immoral owner's face turned grey; he looked at Lin Mu, "What's it to you? Who are you to him?"
"Haha!" Lin Mu didn't say much, stepped forward, and overturned the table with the owner's items. Various wooden bracelets fell to the ground. "Is it my business now?"
The immoral owner was furious, picked up a wooden stool from the ground, and swung it toward Lin Mu. Actually, these people were no better than average hooligans; before he could hit, Lin Mu kicked him down to the ground.
This kick was really enough; the immoral owner lay on the ground, gritting his teeth, unable to get up for a long time. Lin Mu walked up, grabbed the immoral owner with one hand, and then went over to the student, "Today, I'll teach you a lesson in manners. Apologize to the kid! Then find him some clothes to change into!"
The immoral owner's face was ashen, glaring at Lin Mu without speaking, as if thinking that Lin Mu couldn't do anything if he didn't apologize. Seeing the stall owner's expression, Lin Mu was filled with anger!
"Ha, stubborn are we? Boss, I think you're looking a bit pale; perhaps you're in for some bad luck!" Lin Mu sneered, punched the immoral owner in the stomach. The guy groaned, his mouth twisting from the pain!
Of course, Lin Mu restrained his punch; after all, he was just an ordinary person, and if Lin Mu had really gone all out, he could have killed him with one punch!
"Apologize to him?"
The immoral owner's facial muscles twitched, realizing he had hit a tough spot, then looked at the student and said, "I'm sorry... I'll get you some clothes to change into later..."
"Haha, not very sincere, huh!" Lin Mu said.
"I'm sorry..."
"Big Brother, I'm okay now, thank you," the student said.
"Haha, no big deal," Lin Mu laughed, casually pushing the immoral owner away.
The immoral owner stumbled back a few steps, ending up sitting on the ground.
Just then, a group of people surrounded them from above and below the mountain, "What's going on here?"
Lin Mu glanced at the owner of another stall selling water nearby, didn't need to think—he must have called them. These unscrupulous merchants stick together, even when doing bad things. Otherwise, given their ability, how dare they be so arrogant?
Lin Mu saw that most of them were roadside vendors, all unscrupulous merchants, including that immoral owner selling noodles for thirty yuan a bowl! The group quickly surrounded Lin Mu.
"Haha, what do you want to do?" Lin Mu said disdainfully.
"You think you can just leave after hitting someone? I'm telling you, no way! Unless you pay up! Otherwise, don't even think about leaving!" The stall owners shouted, like a group of local hooligans.
But Lin Mu remained disdainful; these people weren't worth taking seriously! "No money, but I've got fists, you want them?"
"Damn, so arrogant! Everyone get him, beat him to death!"
Lin Mu glanced at the immoral owner selling noodles for thirty yuan a bowl, sneered, and dashed forward, hitting a slap on the owner's face. With a crisp sound, the slap knocked the immoral stall owner to the ground.
That stall owner was dizzy, unable to get up from the ground, and the other immoral stall owners rushed at Lin Mu.
Lin Mu showed no mercy anymore, swiftly knocking a few unscrupulous stall owners down mercilessly! The ground echoed with cries; finally, Lin Mu felt a bit relieved!
"Superstar, my acting isn't bad, right? If there's ever a martial arts scene, don't forget to recommend me to the director!" Lin Mu said with a smile to Zhou Xun standing by.
"Yeah, not bad. Finally, I got my vent out," Zhou Xun said with a sweet smile, giving Lin Mu a thumbs up.
"Let's go, down the mountain. We didn't sleep all night, time to rest well, and take care of our business; I missed you so much," Lin Mu shamelessly hinted at something intimate.
