After being abandoned, Tofu Xishi broke off the relationship

Relying on her memory, Su Runrun directed Gu Ji to drive to the deserted village where she was rescued.

The sun was scorching hot along the way. Gu Ji stopped the donkey cart, quickly broke some branches from the trees on the roadside, and picked some wild flowers in the grass.

He had very dexterous hands and it didn't take him long to weave a beautiful wreath.

The big wreath on Su Runrun's little head shielded her from the glaring sunlight.

Su Ruanruan didn't expect that Gu Ji had such a considerate side, and immediately smiled sweetly at him.

This smile made the lively boy blush again.

"Where are we going, Ruanruan?"

"You'll know when you get there. Just do whatever I tell you to do. I'll treat you to dinner in town later."

Hearing this, Gu Ji didn't ask any more questions and just followed Su Ruanruan's instructions along the way.

She told him to go left, but he didn't dare to go right.

About another hour later, the donkey cart slowly stopped.

Su Ruanruan searched the place inside and out again, but didn't see even a trace of debris.

She directed Gu Ji to go down to the river and search all the nearby bird nests, but the little gem was still not found.

Gu Ji was very confused. He had no idea what Su Ruanruan was looking for. He only heard her tell him to keep an eye out for a pea-sized red object.

Seeing that her brows were slightly furrowed and she looked worried, Gu Ji did not dare to provoke her. He just sat aside and watched her quietly.

Su Ruanruan rubbed her aching temple.

It’s terrible, I really can’t find it.

What shall I give him back then?

She glanced at Gu Ji, who was sitting beside her, as obedient as a quail, and suddenly felt a little hungry.

"Come on, let's go to town first."

Alas, I can only take it one step at a time.

The thing was lost in her hands, she had no way to deny it, she never liked to owe anything to others.

However, this little gadget is really hard to find, and perhaps it can never be found again.

The two men drove the donkey cart to the town and ordered two bowls of wontons and three vegetarian buns at a stall.

The wontons were large with thin skin and delicious soup. Gu Ji was eating with relish, but he saw Su Runrun beside him lacking interest.

"Ruanruan, eat quickly, or it will get cold."

Su Ruanruan sighed, then picked up the spoon and took a bite.

She was starving, but the delicious wontons tasted like chewing wax to her.

Although the gem was small, it was obviously of top quality. All her wealth was not enough to pay for it. Besides, the captain of the police did not look like a wealthy person.

What he cares about is not how much the gem is worth, but what the dagger means to him.

A shout broke the silence and brought Su Ruanruan back to her senses.

Su Ruanruan frowned and looked over, only to see the owner of a restaurant not far from the bun stall grabbing a skinny child by the collar and swearing at him.

The boy was about the same size as Xiaoxi, thin, and his clothes were dirty with several big holes in them.

"Where did you come from, beggar? Get out of here. If you come to my shop and cause trouble again, I will beat you to death."

He pushed the boy down, and the boy cried out, his small body was broken into pieces. However, he did not care about anything else and immediately stood up and knelt in front of the shopkeeper.

"Boss, please give me a steamed bun. My mother and sister haven't eaten for two days. Please."

He pointed to a table in the restaurant that had not yet been cleared, "Please, boss, give me that steamed bun that no one wants!"

"Get lost. What does it have to do with me if they starve to death? This is not a charity. Beggars, get away from me. Don't interfere with my business, you little bastard."

He kicked the boy again, and the boy fell to the ground. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he clenched his teeth to prevent himself from crying.

He turned around to look at his mother who was sitting on the street corner with her eyes closed and a look of pain, and his sister who was pouting with tears in her eyes.

He endured the pain and stood up.

Just as he was about to leave, someone held his shoulders.

"Don't leave."

Su Ruanruan had a sullen face. She put one hand on the little boy's shoulder and glared at the shopkeeper coldly. "This is the first time I've seen a businessman so arrogant and not willing to make money in a friendly way."

"Have you ever thought before you uttered those foul words, boss? Things may change over time. One day, the person you once provoked may become the source of trouble you cannot avoid in the future?"

All beings in the six realms are equal, no one is nobler than anyone else, and no one is inferior than anyone else. However, this statement is obviously inappropriate in this time and space, so she did not say it.

Seeing more and more people coming to watch the fun, the shopkeeper's face turned pale and he cursed, "Where did you come from, crazy woman? Get out of here as far as you can. What are you talking about? What does it have to do with you that I scold that little bastard? Get out of here, all of you. You look so poor and you can't read a word, but you're pretending to be a master and teaching me a lesson. Who gave you the guts?"

"Hey, who are you calling poor? You look plump, maybe you've eaten too much of your own kind?"

Gu Ji immediately became unhappy. He could tolerate others scolding him, but he could not bully Ruan Ruan.

The shopkeeper glanced at Gu Ji, who was dressed in rough materials and it was obvious that he was from the countryside. He did not even listen carefully to what he meant by "the same kind".

"What, did I say something wrong? I can see that you are illiterate country bumpkins, and you came to town to embarrass yourself. Take this beggar and get out of here!"

"You!" Although Gu Ji could diagnose and prescribe medicine, and could read, he had only touched the basics, and indeed could not be considered a scholar.

He wanted to argue further, but was pushed away by Su Ruanruan.

Su Runrun looked at the wealthy shopkeeper in front of her who was so arrogant that his eyes seemed to reach the top of his head.

He curled his lips and smiled, "You said we are illiterate? May I ask if there are any scholars in the shopkeeper's family?"

How could she not see that the shopkeeper was just short of hanging a plaque above his head that read "There is a scholar in my family."

Mu Bai is extremely talented, but he is polite and humble in his dealings with others.

She wanted to see what kind of person this scholar in this family was.

When asked, the shopkeeper's face became even more arrogant. Without him saying anything, the waiter next to him had already taken up the conversation.

"My young master is a scholar. He passed the imperial examination when he was twelve years old."

"Oh? How old is your master now?"

"This year is twenty-two."

Su Ruanruan sneered, "I'm twenty-two this year, but I can't even pass the exam to become a scholar. This is not good."

As soon as Su Ruanruan finished speaking, a man with green bean eyes squeezed in. He was dressed like a scholar, but he did not have the elegant appearance of a scholar.

He has a pale face, thin body and sunken eye sockets.

One can tell at a glance that this man is one of those people who has been hanging around in places of entertainment for a long time.

Although the smell of powder on his body was covered by the smell of soapberry, there was still a faint smell. Su Runrun couldn't help feeling nauseous and wanted to vomit, so she took a few steps back without saying a word.
