Chapter 17 The Strange Old Man
The noodle shop suddenly had a lot of people to eat. Even though he didn't eat the big fish and meat, Qi Fang still felt a lot of pain. But after thinking about it, he could ask Luo Yunmo for some rewards~ Qi Fang didn't feel so distressed about the food.
All the guards searching the streets have been withdrawn.
Gu Yunxi only thought that she had found the fugitive, but did not know that Li Yuan had been rescued.
She wanted to look for it herself, so she asked the old man of the Li family to draw a portrait of Zhang Xiaoyuan. It was rare for the old man to have such skills, and the painting looked quite like it.
He went as he was told. Gu Lingxi took the portrait with him and only told Boss Qi that he was going out to do some errands. Tuanzi also wanted to follow Gu Lingxi: Where is my mother, where will I be.
Gu Lingxi did not dare to make too much noise, she just walked along the street slowly looking for people. When she met someone, she took out the portrait and asked, "Have you seen the person in the portrait?"
After searching like this for a long time, I had walked a long way along the street, getting further and further away from the busy city, and there were not many passers-by around.
It was already noon, and it seemed that there was no harvest today, so Gu Lingxi planned to take the dumplings back to the noodle shop.
Suddenly, some masked men jumped out of nowhere and surrounded her and Tuanzi. The area was somewhat remote and there were not many passers-by. Some people who saw the battle from a distance also dodged away.
How dare you intercept me in broad daylight? Gu Lingxi looked at the people gathered in a circle and didn't know why she got into trouble with them.
"Tuanzi, find an opportunity to escape." Gu Lingxi whispered to Tuanzi.
"Both of you, neither one of you can escape." The masked man seemed to have good hearing. After saying this, several people around them moved and quickly approached to catch her and Tuanzi.
Gu Lingxi protected Tuanzi in her arms, dodging and blocking the attacks of these people. Gu Lingxi was a little angry, do you think she is easy to bully?
Although now it seems that he is indeed easy to bully.
Tuanzi was not idle while hiding in Gu Lingxi's arms. From time to time, he cooperated with his mother in kicking and punching people.
Gu Lingxi really felt that the bones in her body were no better than hers before. Even though she exercised regularly, she was still very weak. No, she was almost exhausted now.
A masked man flew over and kicked her. Gu Lingxi protected Tuanzi and turned around. The man kicked her in the back. She was kicked far away with Tuanzi in her arms. When she fell to the ground, she did not forget to protect Tuanzi.
It fell and became a meat pad for dumplings.
It really hurts! Gu Lingxi almost cursed. Can people in ancient times kick someone so hard?
Tuanzi hurriedly got up and helped Gu Lingxi up, "Mother, how are you?"
Gu Lingxi sat on the ground, panting, "Tuanzi, I'm fine. You must call me daddy when you go out from now on, remember."
Tuanzi nodded and looked at Gu Lingxi distressedly. His mother was injured again to protect him. "You bad guys, I'm going to fight with you!"
"You can't Tuanzi." How could Gu Lingxi let a five-year-old kid like him get beaten?
"Hey! He's not big and his tone is not small. Come and put one together for me to see!" The masked man burst into laughter after saying this.
"It's so noisy! I've been hiding here and I still can't get away!" No one could be seen, only his voice could be heard.
The masked man looked around, "Who?"
"Your grandpa!"
Gu Lingxi felt a gust of wind blowing around her, and stood up in front of her, old man?
"You guys, there are more people and you bully the less people. The most important thing is that you disturbed me from drinking and taking a nap!" The old man took out the wine bottle and took another sip of wine.
Gu Lingxi just thought this sounded awkward. Do you think we are disturbing your drinking?
"Where did you come from as a drunkard? Let's go! Don't hurt you by mistake!" The masked man didn't take the old man seriously.
"Young man, don't be so angry, or you'll get a nosebleed!" The old man took another sip of wine.
The masked man wanted to speak again, but he covered his nose fiercely. Between his fingers, he saw blood flowing down. It was really a nosebleed! "Fuck me!" the masked man ordered.
"Hey! Don't move! Otherwise you will be in pain!"
The masked men looked at each other for a few times and then rushed forward. As a result, they fell to the ground and twitched before they even got within three steps of the old man.
"I've told you all, but you don't want to listen! Hey!"
Gu Lingxi finally understood that all this must be related to this old man.
"Everyone has been dealt with, what are you waiting for if you don't run away?" The old man turned the jug upside down and found that the wine in the jug was empty, and shook his head in annoyance.
"Thank you for saving my life. May I ask what the old man's name is? I will visit you another day to say thank you!" Gu Lingxi imitated the ancient people's polite way of saying thank you.
The old man hung the jug on his waist and waved his hand, "No need to thank me. They deserved it if they disturbed my drinking. I went to buy some wine. See you later!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the person disappeared like a gust of wind.
Looking at the group of people again, the man with the nosebleed has passed out, and the others are still thrashing on the ground...
Gu Lingxi shook her still painful back, "Let's go back to the dumplings and go back to the noodle shop."
