Chapter 24 This damn wind
"Friends, everyone has seen it today. These four bullies not only make people fish and meat, but also want to force the women of good families. They are simply borers of the Ming Dynasty and cancer of His Royal Highness Yan. Today, everyone has grievances and revenges." Hu Ye shouted at the onlookers.
At first, no one dared to take action because these bullies are very arrogant on weekdays, and the people here are deeply persecuted by them, so they are very afraid of these bullies.
But as long as there is the first person to eat crabs, successors will flock to it. So the people started to move, and the unconscious Zhou Kai was just spit out a few pools of saliva. The three bullies who were moaning in pain were not so lucky.
Hu Ye took Sa Ren and Lao Qian out of the crowd, and the voices of the three bullies came from behind, which were so miserable. Hu Ye now felt even more like a bad person, an absolute bad person.
"Mr. Ye, thank you." After coming out, Sa Ren said to Hu Ye sincerely.
"Silly kid, I said you are my friend. Whoever bullies you is bullying me. And those who bully me will definitely make them pay the price." Hu Ye said gently after shaving on Saren's nose.
The bullies' screams ended, I don't know if they were knocked out or killed.
The bustle was over, and the people returned to their seats, hawking and shouting, just as if what had happened just now hadn't happened.
Hu Ye was very dissatisfied with the public security in Peking. There was no patrol troops coming for such a big deal. Although the Five Cities Military Affairs Office was established six years later, Zhu Di could not make the public security chaos in his old nest like this. Hu Ye felt that he would find some time to talk about this to Zhu Di, otherwise there would be big trouble in the future.
"Old man, give it, this is the food money." Hu Ye packed the vegetables he had just selected, took out twenty copper coins and handed them to the old man who bought the food.
"Young Master, you are a little hero who eliminates harm to the people. I can't accept this money. Just think that this dish was given to you by me." The old uncle said generously.
"Old man, how can this make these dishes be the fruits of your labor? How dare I get them without work?" Hu Ye hurriedly refused.
"How could it be? Big brother, why did you help us beat those bad guys? How could you get something for nothing? My grandfather often said that we can repay kindness, so how can we collect money from you?" A little girl about the same age as Saren snuggled up on the old uncle's thigh, looking very intimate, and said to Hu Ye with a tender voice.
"Little sister is so sensible. What's your name?" Looking at the little girl, Hu Ye suddenly felt very intimate, just like Sa Ren, so Hu Ye said with a smile.
"My name is Qianyue, big brother, you can call me Yueyue." The little girl replied.
"Who are you in Yueyue, and where are your parents."
"I am nine years old, and my father has joined the army. There has been no news for many years. My mother went out to find my father, and there has been no news for many years. I don't know when they will come back." Yueyue heard Hu Ye's question, and seemed to evoke memories of her childhood.
"That's the case, then your father must have been a general in the army, so he didn't have time to come back. Your mother must be with your father too. I believe that when your father wins the battle, he will come back to see Yueyue with her." Hu Ye walked over and touched Yueyue's hair, and found that her hair was very rough and must be lacking in nutrition.
"Is the big brother true? Are my parents really coming back soon?" Yueyue said excitedly, pulling Hu Ye's shoulder.
"My master said that I should be an honest person, so I will not lie." Hu Ye took out his master's lies again, but Hu Ye felt that this was a kind lie.
"Ah, it's so great, big brother, thank you." Yueyue was very excited and kissed Hu Ye's face with her little mouth.
Hu Ye touched the face that Yueyue kissed. This was the first time he was kissed in the Ming Dynasty. Although the partner was a little girl, Hu Ye thought he could still keep it in mind.
But Hu Ye looked up inadvertently and saw the old man's helpless expression, and he was already affirming his guess in his heart. So Hu Ye said to Yueyue again, "Yueyue, let's do this, I will accept these dishes. But in return, I will give you a bunch of candied haws. Now you will follow this sister Saren and go there to buy candied haws. You can buy as much as you want, okay?"
"Ah! Really! Big brother, you are so good." Yueyue was very happy, and kissed Hu Ye on the face again, then walked over and took Saren's hand, and walked straight towards a candied haws stall not far away.
Saren had never eaten candied haws, and had only heard of them before. When she encountered such a good thing, she was naturally very happy, so she took Yueyue's hand and chattered away. After Lao Qian looked at Hu Ye, he also followed Saren and Yueyue.
"Old man, is Yueyue's parents already..." After Yueyue and the others left, Hu Ye looked up and asked the old uncle.
"Oh, I didn't expect that you are young and have such strong judgment. Yueyue's father joined the army and fought when she was only three years old. He died in battle five years ago. Yueyue was still young, so I didn't tell her. Later, her mother also ran away with a foreign vendor, so I had to tell her that her mother went to find her father. She is still young and doesn't know about this. When she grows up, I guess I can't hide it. I really don't know how to tell her then." The old uncle said lamentingly.
"Hey, what a miserable child. He had no parents at such a young age." Hu Ye also lamented. The old uncle's words made Hu Ye confirm his guess. The woman went to the army to find her husband? Hu Ye felt that it was possible in the 21st century, but it was absolutely impossible in the Ming Dynasty, because it would be considered an unknown thing for women to appear in the military camp. So when Yueyue told her parents, Hu Ye guessed the whole thing.
"Who said no? I just hope that Yueyue will be stronger in the future and will not be able to stand the blow when she knows this." The old uncle said helplessly while fiddling with the vegetables on the stall.
Hu Ye didn't say anything anymore, but just looked at Yueyue and Sa Ren's cheerful backs from a distance. It was a long time, and the old uncle did not disturb Hu Ye, but just thought this child was very strange.
"Big brother, candied haws are so delicious. Do you want to eat one?" After a while, Yueyue and Saren bought the candied haws. They held one in one hand and kept biting it in their mouths, looking very enjoyable. Even Lao Qian was holding one in his hand, but looking at Lao Qian's expression, Hu Ye guessed that it should have been for him by Yueyue and Saren.
"Brother, please keep Yueyue." Hu Ye said with a smile.
"If my brother doesn't eat it, I will keep it. But I won't eat it either. I want to keep it for the souvenir. This is the first gift someone gave me. I must keep it until the day my parents come back, and I will eat it with them at that time." Yueyue said as she carefully hid the candied haws in her left hand, but in fact she just put them in her arms.
"Yueyue is such a good child. I believe your parents will be very proud. Oh, it's getting late, and my brother should leave. But in the future, my brother will come to Yueyue's house to buy vegetables. Will Yueyue sell it to my brother at that time?" Hu Ye held it for a long time, finally endured the tears and said with a smile. He wanted to leave here as soon as possible, because he was afraid that he would be unable to bear it if he stayed there any longer.
"Sell it, we will sell all the dishes in our house to our elder brother in the future." Yueyue said happily.
"Then we'll make up." Hu Ye smiled hard, then turned around and left Yueyue's stall with Sa Ren and Lao Qian.
"Grandpa, my elder brother is such a good person." After Hu Ye left, Yueyue tilted her head and said to her grandfather.
"Yes, what a good boy." The old uncle deliberately avoided Yueyue's eyes because his eyes were already wet.
...
"Master Ye, are you crying?" After leaving the stall, Saren saw that Hu Ye's eyes were a little wet, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.
Hu Ye quickly rubbed his eyes with his hands and said calmly, "No, it was just the wind blowing sand into his eyes just now."
Then Hu Ye cursed, "This damn wind."
