Chapter 242 Picked up someone
"These are 5 taels of silver each. I make three every month and only sell them to those who are destined to meet me. I won't make more after I sell them all."
The two men handed over the silver with one hand and the goods with the other. Su He said "liar" in his heart and walked straight past them.
As you walk further inside, you will see people selling calligraphy and paintings, cloth shoes, and purses. At the end of the alley is a stall selling small straw animals, including little white rabbits, grasshoppers, dragonflies, cattle, tigers, white horses, and foxes. Each one is only the size of a finger and very cute.
Su He picked up a little white rabbit, touched it, and found that it was not prickly at all, so it was suitable as a gift for children.
"Old man, how much is this?"
The old man in the straw hat was obviously not good at speaking. Su He and the other man had been standing there for a while without him saying anything to them. There was a reason why his stall was at the end.
"10 wen each."
The old man said dryly.
This price is really not expensive. It is much cheaper than modern ones anyway.
Su He bought all fifteen small animals on the stall. The old man's face turned red with excitement. He could finally report back that he had done his job well.
After paying the money, Su He noticed a straw hat in the backpack next to the old man and asked casually.
"Old man, can I take a look at this?"
"Hey, take it. It's just an ordinary straw hat, hehe."
Su He counted them and found there were 5 straw hats in total.
"How much is this?"
"3 wen each."
Su He thought it was a great bargain and directly gave the silver to the old man.
Summer is here, so we need to pay attention to sun protection. This straw hat is the main tool for sun protection.
Poor Su He didn’t even have sunscreen, so when she stocked up, she only thought about satisfying her first basic need, which was food.
If I had any spare money, I would buy some self-defense products, but I never thought about skin care and beauty.
I can only try my best to make up for it now and strive to be a beautiful old woman in the future.
Su He happily wore a straw hat late at night, and also gave one to Liu Bai. The two didn't want to walk through the crowded path again, so they went out of the alley at the end and took another route home.
The road was very deserted, and there was no one else except Su He and the other two.
Su He touched the goose bumps on his body for some unknown reason. Just as he was about to say something to Liu Bai beside him, he heard footsteps behind him. They both looked back and saw a group of people running towards them.
"Hurry, I just saw her running here."
The leader spoke rapidly and seemed very anxious.
As soon as Su He saw the real person, he was no longer afraid, "It's none of our business, let's go."
The two men turned around and continued walking, but they heard someone shouting behind them again.
"Stop! The ones in front are you!"
The people behind him ran up all of a sudden, and Liu Bai immediately stood in front of Su He. The leader saw that there seemed to be a woman behind him and suddenly became excited.
"Hand over the people behind you and get out of here!"
Su He curled her lips speechlessly, she must have been implicated.
She pulled Liu Bai, signaling him to move aside, but Liu Bai didn't.
"I'm not the person you're looking for. We're here to visit the night market."
Su He poked his head out and tried to communicate in a nice tone, but the man didn't buy it.
"You'll find out if you come back with us. Let's go!"
The leader's gaze made Su He feel very uncomfortable. When Su He was about to curse, he saw Liu Bai pinching the other person's neck. The other person's face suddenly turned red and he couldn't speak. Su He could feel that he couldn't breathe and was struggling weakly. It can be seen that Liu Bai is very strong.
"Let go, don't kill him."
Su He patted Liu Bai's arm, signaling him to stop.
Liu Bai swung forward and the leader flew out.
"Butler Zhou, are you okay? Come on, carry him back to find a doctor."
The younger brothers behind him looked at Liu Bai with fear and had no intention of looking for anyone else. If they did, they would lose their lives.
None of the dozen people dared to make a sound, and they ran away carrying their leader.
"Xiao Bai, were the two people who were robbed in Shuangguan Village also servants of the Zhou Mansion in the city?"
Liu Bai nodded, watched the person run away, and turned around to go back.
"Come on, go home."
The two of them quickened their pace at the same time, walked through the alley, and then heard Liu Bai shouting in a low voice.
"come out!"
Su He was shocked. Damn, why is today so unlucky?
Su He followed Liu Bai's gaze and looked to the side, and saw a dark shadow slowly walking towards them.
"Please save me. I don't want to be caught. If they find me, I will die."
Wearing white clothes and long hair, with a quiet alley behind her, Su He couldn't help but lean towards Liu Bai. The atmosphere was just right.
"We have driven them away. They won't come back. Just find a chance to leave the city tomorrow."
The girl in white shook her head. "They will come back. I stole their things when I left, and they won't give up. Please, take me in for one night. I will go to the government office to report the case tomorrow."
The girl in white looked at Su He and Liu Bai pleadingly, but Liu Bai was not moved at all and signaled Su He to leave.
"She's a nuisance, we don't have to worry about her, let's go."
Su He was a little hesitant, but still followed Liu Bai. She didn't know anyone there, and she was afraid that she had saved the wrong person.
"Don't leave, please. I'm a disaster victim from the north. I was tricked into coming here. The two sisters who were with me are dead. They died to help me escape. I kowtow to you, two benefactors, please help us."
Su He grabbed Liu Bai's hand, and under Liu Bai's helpless look, she started to meddle in other people's business again.
"Get up and follow us."
The girl in white stood up happily and trotted over. Su He recalled the horror movies he had seen before and stepped back in fear.
The girl in white stopped sensitively. Su He smiled awkwardly and forced Liu Bai to walk in the middle while she walked in front.
The three of them walked quickly back to Su's house in a strange atmosphere.
It was impossible to lead someone to one's own room, so Su He took her into the kitchen, "Xiao Bai, boil some water."
Liu Bai responded and lit three oil lamps in the kitchen. The room suddenly became bright, and then he added water into the stove.
The girl in white squatted in the corner, leaning against the wall and heaved a sigh of relief. She was almost caught just now. Fortunately, Su He and the other man suddenly appeared and the group's attention was diverted.
She felt that these two people were the only ones who could help her. She could only take a gamble and just get through tonight.
Su He looked at the silent woman in white huddled in the corner, and said to Liu Bai, "I'll go get her some clothes to change. Didn't we have some steamed buns left over from lunch? Give her two."
Liu Bai nodded and asked softly, "Are you hungry? Can I heat up some corn cake for you?"
"No, I'll just eat an apple later."
Su He decided to go into the space and cook a little while later, as she suddenly wanted to eat something spicy.
A quarter of an hour later, Su He came over with an old quilt and a set of clothes.
"This is for you. You can only live in the kitchen tonight. The fire in the stove will not go out. If the fire is low, you can add some firewood. The water is boiled, you can add some cold water to wash yourself."
The woman in white looked at Su He with gratitude. She couldn't think of how to repay him. Apart from the evidence in her arms, she had nothing.
"Thank you, my benefactors. When I have my revenge, I will repay you with my service."
Seeing that the woman in white was about to kowtow again, Su He quickly stopped her.
"Alright, alright, there's no need to do this. After tomorrow, just don't tell anyone else that we took you in. We are just ordinary people and can't stand any setbacks."
"I understand. I won't tell you. Don't worry."
