Zhang Tieniu couldn't bear it anymore. These gangsters from gambling houses were different from the gangsters on the street. He couldn't just watch his beloved girl get into trouble, and it was because of his circumstances.

However, when he saw Li Qingyou's anxious, panic-stricken look but no surprise at all, Zhang Tieniu's heart skipped a beat, and she realized that what he had just done was completely deceptive, and she should have seen him a long time ago.

After the last time at the entrance of Sibaozhai, this was the first time they had met in so many days. Although the two families were neighbors, it was not difficult for them not to meet because Zhang Tieniu deliberately avoided it.

Who knew that our meeting today would be in such an embarrassing and embarrassing situation?

For a moment, various emotions such as shame, anger, and embarrassment hit the young man's chest, but he suppressed these emotions forcibly. The most important thing at the moment was not to involve Li Qingyou.

"What are you doing? You don't have to worry about my affairs. Let's go." Zhang Tieniu roared and rushed towards him. His original intention was to push Li Qingyou away from here, but he was kicked in the stomach as soon as he took two steps.

People huddled on the ground like shrimps.

"Let's go, let's go quickly." Holding back the churning abdominal pain, Zhang Tieniu tried his best to warn Li Qingyou, telling her to go quickly with his eyes.

"Damn, you brat, what tricks are you playing? Be honest." Several thugs punched and kicked him again.

Li Qingyou was angry and anxious. She wanted to go over and help Zhang Tieniu out, but she couldn't squeeze in because of her physical strength. She could only shout at the person who just took her a bunch of money, "Didn't you take the money? Why are you beating them?"

"

The man shook the money in his hand and sneered, "It's just such a small amount of money, it's not even enough for interest. Do you know how much money he owes us, eighteen taels. If he wants to let me go, you can immediately take the money and promise to let me go."

.”

Li Qingyou took a breath when he heard this. Zhang Tieniu once said that his monthly salary was only one tael of silver, and eighteen taels was his salary for a year and a half.

How dare he?

"Don't, don't listen to their nonsense..." Zhang Tieniu, who was beaten with a bruised nose and face, took the time to shout, "I, I only owe them three taels of silver..."

A big man with a black face kicked him in the stomach and spat, "Fart, that's capital, there's no fucking interest."

As he spoke, he turned to Li Qingyou with a smile and said, "What's the matter, little lady, how about you pay it back for him?"

These people are extremely vicious, more rampant than mountain bandits. Relying on the power of the boss behind them, even the government does not pay attention to them. Seeing that this group of people has their ideas on Li Qingyou, Zhang Tieniu is extremely anxious. Unfortunately, he is now

Too busy to care for herself, she could only watch helplessly as she was surrounded by two people.

"You guys, if you let her go, it has nothing to do with her..."

"You brat, take care of yourself first. If you say that your brat is really damn lucky, if you can't come up with any money today, my brothers will use her to pay off the debt."

This sentence caused a burst of obscene laughter, and several people glanced at Li Qingyou with evil intentions. The lewd looks in her eyes made her feel nauseous, and the two people who had been surrounding her even leaned forward with evil smiles.

Li Qingyou's heart was beating wildly. At this moment, she also felt a little regretful. It was not that she regretted standing up for Zhang Tieniu, but that she regretted her own recklessness. If she had known better, she should have gone to the Yamen to find some helpers.

From the arrogance of this group of people and their words, I can tell that they have a backer, but after all, this is the border of Qingshan County, and if there are official messengers coming, they can at least restrain themselves.

But, what to do now?

Just when Li Qingyou was wondering whether to use Master Wei's name to scare people, he suddenly saw bursts of green smoke coming out of the house next to him from the corner of his eye, and then someone screamed: "Damn, it's on fire."

The first person to discover it was a rogue who was surrounding Li Qingyou. He was facing the house and was frightened when he saw the flames bursting out. He hurriedly called on the others to go back and put out the fire.

At the same time, the houses next door also discovered that there was a fire, and many people rushed out with buckets to help put out the fire. Houses in this era were all made of wood. Once a fire broke out, the neighbors would be implicated, so no one would sit back and watch.

The scene was in chaos.

The few people who were beating Zhang Tieniu didn't care about beating him anymore and ran back to put out the fire.

It was really timely. Li Qingyou breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go see how Zhang Tieniu was doing. Suddenly someone grabbed his arm and said, "Sister, let's go quickly."

When she turned around, she saw Adi running over at some point, grabbing her arm and running out.

"Wait a minute..." Li Qingyou turned back to look at Zhang Tieniu, only to see him limping into the crowd, so she ignored him and pulled Adi back home quickly.

After entering the house, Li Qingyou's heart finally fell to the ground. She patted her chest and gasped for air. She said with lingering fear: "This fire was lit just in time."

Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be troublesome.

Adi glanced at her, pursed his lips and said nothing. Could it have been sooner? He was the one who started the fire.

When he came back, he happened to see Sister Qingyou being blocked by some gangsters. In desperation, he ran to the backyard and set a fire, and then came back safely.

Li Qingyou rested for a while, then took another handful of money to buy beans. When the siblings were having dinner in the evening, she noticed that her brother seemed a little silent.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Li Qingyou raised her hand and touched his forehead, then put it on her own forehead to test the temperature. She was relieved after making sure that he didn't have a fever.

Adi shook his head, burying his face in the bowl and eating heavily to hide his absent-mindedness.

Today he saw Rubeus's portrait on the street, and then he realized that Rubeus had gone to Qingfeng Mountain in the past few months since they were separated, and even became the bandit leader. No wonder he had been going to mass graves in the past few months.

Haven't seen him yet.

If they had not escaped when they encountered bandits, they might have been able to meet Rubeus. But who would have thought that his father's capable warrior, who was once the number one master in the North, would turn out to be a bandit?

I don’t know how Rubber is doing now. At least one thing that is certain is that he has not been caught, otherwise there would not be a reward notice posted on the street. The only thing I am afraid of now is that if Rubber is injured, he will not be able to get it in time.

Treatment can be life-threatening.

Although Adi tried his best to act as if nothing had happened, Li Qingyou still felt his low mood, thinking that he was fine when he went out in the morning, maybe he had trouble with his friends?

With this thought in my mind, I asked the question.

"No." Adi shook his head. He didn't want Li Qingyou to ask any more questions, so he changed the subject, "How could my sister provoke those people?"

In the past few months, he has been running around with a group of boys every day. They have visited almost the entire Qingshan County. He also knows that there is a gambling den there, and he knows even more clearly that those people are not good people.
