After a while of commotion, everything became quiet.
Da Xu's eyes were bulging, and his face was pale as he looked at the tip of the knife, which was only millimeters away from the old woman's waist.
He gritted his teeth and pushed forward with all his strength, but the knife in his hand didn't move at all.
He wanted to break free from the restraining hand, but he couldn't.
Lin Tao clasped Da Xu's wrist behind her back, and when she turned around, she held Da Xu's wrist and pushed him to the ground.
The next second, the elbow joint was pressed against Da Xu's throat.
With a bang, the knife in Da Xu's hand fell to the ground.
Begging for mercy with a red face: "I, I was wrong. I don't dare to do it anymore. I can't breathe, I can't breathe..."
Before he finished speaking, Da Xu's tongue stuck out like a hanged ghost.
"Someone is coming! Help! Killer!" Mrs. Xu came back to her senses and cried at the top of her lungs.
Not only did no one come forward to help, the people around him scattered away as if they were afraid of getting blood on themselves.
Mrs. Xu also tried her best and rushed towards the knife on the ground.
When she held the handle of the knife, Lin Tao stepped on it.
He swung it over with a big slap, knocking the person to the ground and rolling him twice before stopping.
"Mother, mother, you must pay with your life for killing someone." Li Si shouted from the side.
Li Er had never seen this scene before. He was so frightened that he couldn't speak. He was frozen like a stone.
Lin Tao picked up the knife on the ground, which frightened the two brothers.
Li Si rushed forward and hugged her hand holding the knife tightly.
"Calm down! Mom, calm down! Impulsiveness is the devil! Impulsiveness will go to jail!"
The next second, Lin Tao waved his hand, and Li Si flew two or three meters away.
The tip of the knife, which was blinding with cold light, stabbed Da Xu's eyes.
Da Xu shouted: "Help! Help..." The voice stopped suddenly.
Not only Da Xu rolled his eyes, but Da Xu's wife next to him also fainted.
Lin Tao curled her lips and withdrew the dagger, which was only millimeters away from Da Xu's eyeballs.
In front of everyone, he threw the dagger into his backpack.
He stood up, straightened his clothes, and said to everyone: "Don't be fooled by him, the phoenix eggs he sells are just chicken fetuses!"
The people around her didn't react and looked at her motionless like puppets.
Lin Tao walked to Da Xu's pot, peeled the egg that Da Xu had picked up, and peeled it open in front of everyone, revealing a little chicken full of hair.
"What he calls a phoenix egg is a newly formed chicken."
Everyone was angry and pointed at Da Xu and his wife who were motionless on the ground.
At the right time, the official from the Street Department came over.
After looking at everyone, his eyes stopped on Lin Tao.
"Dare to fight in Fangshi? Do you want to go to jail?"
Lin Tao waved her hands repeatedly: "I'm an old woman, why should I fight with them? The official thinks too highly of the old woman's body. Official, they are the ones who defrauded everyone of their money! Do you think so?"
When she asked, people who had spent money to buy phoenix eggs before all gathered around the official.
They were talking nonsense, Da Xu used eggs to cheat them out of money.
They clamored for the official to seek justice and for Da and Xu to return their money.
The two officials couldn't deal with those people, so they simply arrested Da Xu and his wife who were lying on the ground.
The man couldn't wake him up, so he could only drag him out of the market like a dead dog.
Those who wanted to file a lawsuit followed behind, chattering non-stop.
"Let's go."
Lin Tao spoke out, and the two stupid sons came to their senses.
The second child carried the rice, and the fourth child took the initiative to carry the basket on his back and followed.
On the way, the fourth child was dissatisfied and complained: "Mom, why are you becoming more and more disobedient? We don't know that kid, but you still stand up for him! You almost landed yourself in the county jail!"
Lin Tao slowed down and walked between the two of them.
"Four! My mother is not trying to show off, but Niu Wazi's words about getting too much and not taking too much have touched my mother. I want to use this incident to tell you that an honest person with a bottom line will always be the best when needed.
There will be kind people to help.”
Seeing that Li Si's eyes were a little distracted, Lin Tao knew that today's fight was not in vain.
I glanced at the setting sun and saw that it was no longer possible to ride a bullock cart on the official road at this point.
Carrying dozens of kilograms of stuff on my back and walking with a pair of feet will take me as long as I can.
Simply stay in town for one night.
In the memory of the original owner, there was an abandoned house at the end of Xiaoxi Street. Every time he wanted to spend the night on the town, the original owner would go there.
After leaving Fangshi, Lin Tao led the way to Xiaoxi Street.
Li Si caught up and asked, "Mom, are you going to Xiaoxi Street? Aren't you going home in a hurry tonight?"
"Yeah. Mom wants to take you somewhere."
***
Arriving at the abandoned house on Xiaoxi Street, Lin Tao searched for memories, walked around to a low wall next to the side door, and climbed up the wall with her feet.
After sending the rice and basket under the wall, Lin Tao landed steadily.
The two sons jumped down in imitation of the same pattern.
The three of them walked around like they were following their own house, and entered a woodshed in a corner.
After hiding the things, Lin Tao asked the second child to stay behind and led the fourth child out again.
Still climbing over the wall to come out, Li Si looked excited and kept asking: "Mom, where are we going?"
"Beauty."
Li Sileng stayed where he was.
I don't know why, but he was so panicked.
Lin Tao, who was walking in front, saw that there was no one around him, and then she noticed that Li Si's face was pale and he was standing motionless behind him.
"Let's go! What are you standing for?"
Li Si came to his senses and followed.
After walking a few steps, Li Si held her hand and cried, "Mom, you are lying, the brothel is over there! This way you are walking is the way to the Elephant House!"
"Tell your son the truth. Do you want to sell him to the Elephant House?"
Lin Tao was about to explain, but she didn't expect that Li Si wiped away tears and cried like a woman: "Mom, my son knows that he was wrong! In these years, my son has not only failed to share her worries with his mother, but has always made trouble with his lies. My son today
My son really knows that what he did was wrong. At least you can give your son a chance to change his ways!"
The corners of Lin Tao's eyes twitched. The brothel she was talking about meant the brothel where women visited!
Did Li Si misunderstand something?
Forget it, she didn't bother to explain anyway. She twisted Li Si's ears and continued walking forward.
Lin Tao didn't let go until he reached his destination.
Looking at Li Si whose eyes were swollen from crying, Lin Tao looked disgusted.
"Why are you crying for a grown man who is chatting with a girl? I brought you here to open your eyes so that you don't only see people like Gong Qiaoer!"
"ah?"
Li Si, who had two runny noses, was dumbfounded.
"Look, look." Lin Tao pointed happily and said, "You boy, open your dog eyes and take a good look. That's what you call a woman! Do you see it?"
Li Si's eyes widened when he saw it.
The woman who got off the carriage in front of the Elephant Aunt Hall looks like the fairy aunt in the picture book!
"If you think about Gong Qiaoer again, how can he compare?"
Li Si shook his head.
The look of a woman is reflected in the pupils, the slender figure, the raised hands and feet, showing nobility. The fair skin is not comparable to Gong Qiaoer's rough and dark one!
Those fingers are as if they were carved from jade.
