Chapter 168: Sisters Have Always Moved People's Hearts
Yu Xiaoliu turned his head and saw a pretty girl walking towards him with a ten-cent copper plate in her hand. Behind her was a man and a woman, who looked ragged and their faces were covered in dust.
The butcher took the ten cents and said, "Sixth brother, you decide for yourself."
"You..." Yu Xiaoliu turned around embarrassedly and said to the girl, "Thank you very much, young lady. I will definitely pay you back after I get my wages!"
"No, no," the girl said sweetly, "My name is Fang Xin. What's your name, Brother Mo Xiu?"
Demon cultivator...brother?
Yu Xiaoliu's face flushed red instantly. He had never been addressed like that before, so he stumbled in response, "I... My name is Yu Xiaoliu, and I'm just a janitor." As he spoke, he subconsciously tugged at the corner of his patched clothes, trying to hide his embarrassment.
Fang Xin, however, didn't care at all. She blinked her bright eyes and moved closer curiously, tilting her head to examine him. "Really? Brother Xiaoliu is so handsome, he wouldn't lie to me, right?"
Yu Xiaoliu felt increasingly uncomfortable being stared at by her. He took a small step back, scratched his head, and said, "I... well, actually, I'm the captain of the outer city patrol!"
The butcher was listening from behind the window, and he gave a disdainful smile.
Fang Xin opened her watery eyes and said, "Wow! Isn't that amazing?"
Yu Xiaoliu blushed, and said with a guilty conscience: "It's okay, Miss Fang, after I send the smoked meat, how about I take you to the city gate for some tea? I can still afford the tea..."
Just as the two were chatting, the two little beggars behind Fang Xin stumbled forward.
"Hehe...Aunt..."
"Aunt...we want to eat meat too..."
Yu Xiaoliu: "Who are these two?"
"Brother Xiaoliu!" Fang Xin suddenly covered her face and cried, "They are my cousins who came from far away to seek refuge with me. Unfortunately, they were kidnapped by criminals on the way and have some mental problems."
"Ah?" Yu Xiaoliu was confused.
"Come, Goudaner and Donkey's Egg, say hello to your Uncle Xiaoliu!" Fang Xin said sadly.
Lu Yuguan and Zi Xiaoya walked forward stupidly, drooling, "Uncle Liu... hehe..."
Yu Xiaoliu looked at the butcher for help, but the butcher just pursed his lips and shook his head helplessly.
"Brother Xiaoliu, can you take them with you?" Fang Xin looked up pitifully.
"But this..." Yu Xiaoliu really didn't want to contact these two beggars, and was in a dilemma for a moment.
"You don't dislike them, do you?" Fang Xin asked.
Seeing Fang Xin's lovely face, Yu Xiaoliu suddenly hardened his heart and said through gritted teeth, "Of course not! I, Yu Xiaoliu, always like to help others!"
The butcher slapped his head, called him a "lunatic", and immediately turned around and went into the back room.
Fang Xin cheered excitedly, "Really? That's great!"
Yu Xiaoliu plucked up his courage, but the blush on his face did not fade at all.
Lu Yuguan opened his mouth and drooled wildly, "Aunt... I don't want... I don't want treatment..."
"Cure the disease?" Yu Xiaoliu wondered.
"Actually, I wanted to take them to the inner city to see a doctor, but I'm a weak woman and can't go into the city with confidence, so I wanted to get close to you..." Fang Xin confessed seriously, "Brother Xiaoliu, you won't blame me, right?"
"How could it be!" Yu Xiaoliu's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. "Miss Fang is kind-hearted and willing to confess to me. How could I blame you?"
He looked at Fang Xin's sincere eyes and felt his heart was about to melt.
Fang Xin lowered her head slightly, tugging at the corner of her clothes with both hands, and said softly, "I thought Brother Xiaoliu was a handsome man, and I didn't expect him to be the captain of the patrol team. I'm marrying above my station..."
"It's not that great." Yu Xiaoliu said embarrassedly.
"Their illness can't be delayed any longer. I really have no other choice." Fang Xin said, her eyes slightly red, full of anxiety and helplessness.
Yu Xiaoliu's heart was gripped tightly. After a moment of silence, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Fang, although I don't have any great abilities, I will definitely do my best to help you. However, you need a pass to enter the inner city, so I have to think of a way."
"Really? That's great!" Fang Xin exclaimed in surprise, "Thank you, Brother Xiaoliu, you are the best demon cultivator I have ever met!"
Lu Yuguan: "Aba Aba..."
Zi Xiaoya: "Ah Ba Ah Ba..."
The three of them followed Yu Xiaoliu to the front of the restaurant and squatted on the curb opposite.
Yu Xiaoliu threw the oil-paper bag on the table and said to Old Garlic, "No need to pay for the meat. I want the token to enter the inner city."
Old Garlic was already drunk, and when he heard what Yu Xiaoliu said, he immediately got angry and said, "Get lost, get lost, don't bother me while I'm drinking."
"By the way, go give Lao Meng a jar of wine tonight. The newest one. Don't take the wrong one!"
Fang Xin and the other two were waiting behind Yu Xiaoliu. He couldn't afford to lose face at this moment, so he mustered up his courage and said, "This smoked pork costs thirty cents. If you don't give me the token, I will return the smoked pork." As he said that, he was about to take back the oil paper bag.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Old Garlic cursed as he took back the oil-paper bag and put it in his arms.
"Thirty cents, or give me the token." Yu Xiaoliu said stiffly.
Old Garlic was startled by his sudden change of temperament, "Why did you enter the inner city?"
Yu Xiaoliu said, "See a doctor."
"See a doctor? What's wrong with you?" Old Garlic said cursingly.
"Why do you care what's wrong with me?" Yu Xiaoliu said angrily.
Old Garlic shrank his neck. In terms of position, he was higher than Yu Xiaoliu, but in terms of cultivation, Yu Xiaoliu could beat him.
"What damn bad luck!" Old Garlic muttered and cursed, then stood up and walked to Old Meng and reached into his trouser pocket.
This was so fatal that it made Old Meng talk nonsense.
"Hey, Liu...don't be so impatient..."
"Go take a shower first..."
"My uncle will definitely love you..."
Old Garlic's hand clenched into a bulge, and he immediately cursed, "Fuck!"
When he took out his hand, he already had a token of medium size in it.
"Take it and return it when you go to deliver the wine in the evening. Do you hear me?" Old Garlic reminded.
Yu Xiaoliu snorted coldly and walked away without looking back.
Fang Xin and the other two saw the entire process clearly. As high-level cultivators, Lu Yuguan and Zi Xiaoya naturally had excellent hearing.
Zi Xiaoya was amazed and said, "Sister, you're just a last-minute guy, but you've had such a wonderful life experience."
Fang Xin didn't hear anything and was naturally confused. "Sister Zi, what did you say?"
"Don't talk, he's back." Lu Yuguan reminded, then immediately opened his mouth and pretended to be stupid.
Zi Xiaoya rolled her eyes at him and also started to act dumb.
I really don't know what this guy is thinking.
She was the Holy Maiden of the Beast Taming Sect, a powerful figure in Xiqi...
Acting like a fool in Nanzhou! ?
If her grumpy father knew about this, he would definitely skin Lu Yuguan alive.
Yu Xiaoliu quickly came over to the group and held out his hand to grab the token. "Miss Fang, let's go. I'll take you to the inner city."
Fang Xinyuan looked at the two people who were drunk and unconscious and asked worriedly, "Are they okay?"
"Just two useless subordinates." Yu Xiaoliu said calmly.
Lu Yuguan and Zi Xiaoya glanced at each other secretly.
Really good at pretending.
