One touch and one silence

"But I just want to know this."

Nanzhi leaned on the bed, just looking at Shuyue quietly.

"Um……"

"No!" Shuyue shook her head, still unable to say anything.

"Your Highness, please don't ask me. I'll tell you when you're better, okay?"

Shuyue coaxed Nanzhi.

The corner of Nanzhi's mouth twitched. This girl really treated her as a three-year-old child, didn't she?

"Oh! By the way, master, let me tell you something." Shuyue excitedly stood in front of Nanzhi and wanted to tell her the good news.

Nanzhi was not interested. This was not the news she wanted. It seemed that Shuyue had made up her mind not to say anything.

"Master, do you still remember that butcher Chen? Shuyue's mysterious look is really cute.

"Yeah! Remember it!" Of course she remembered. This was the first stranger she rescued since she came to this ancient time.

"I ran into him at the market a few days ago. Guess what?"

"What's the matter?" Could it be that he came to repay her a favor? Nanzhi smiled.

"That guy actually waited for you at the foot of the mountain for more than a month. It was only when Doctor Xu came down the mountain that he ran into him and asked him out of curiosity that I learned that the guy had actually been waiting for you at the foot of our mountain."

"I heard that he sold all his belongings at home and wanted to follow you to repay you for saving his life."

Shuyue's happy look gave Nanzhi a headache.

What good news is this?

"And then? Why is he here?"

"That's what Doctor Xu said! He told Butcher Chen that you are the prince and you don't need to repay him. You were transferred back and he told him not to wait any longer."

“I didn’t expect that he would actually start his old business near our Dali Temple.”

"Forehead!"

"Tell him next time you go back and let him live a good life. He doesn't need to think about repaying his gratitude. Your master doesn't need him. He just needs to live his life well."

Nanzhi gave Shuyue an instruction.

She didn't want to waste time on such a sincere person.

"Master, I have already told you, but that guy doesn't listen. Every time he sees me, he gives me the pork ribs you bought me. I can't refuse every time."

"It's not easy for them to survive, remember to give them money." Nanzhi told Shuyue not to accept other people's things for free.

"Master, you don't need to tell me this. I know it. Now I don't even dare to go to his place."

Shuyue was a little annoyed.

"He just arrived here and is unfamiliar with the place. When I'm not around, you should be careful and don't let anyone bully you."

Nanzhi thought about it and finally accepted the guy's kindness.

You have to know that he can't just come here and survive.

At the foot of the imperial city, anyone you meet outside is likely to have an official of several ranks behind him. That guy probably won't be able to settle down here so quickly.

In fact, what Nanzhi said was very right. At this time, Chen the Butcher was being stopped in front of his stall by several people.

"Are you new here?"

The leader spoke in a bad tone, as if he was looking for trouble.

Butcher Chen was not stupid. After all, he had been doing business for many years. As soon as he saw these people, he knew what was going on.

He quickly took out some copper coins from his pocket and put them in the hand of the leader in a flattering manner.

"It's just a small amount of money, not a respect, I hope you can buy some tea."

Zhao Quan, who was in the lead, looked at the string of copper coins in his hand with an expression of extreme disdain on his face.

"That's it?" Zhao Quan weighed the copper coin in his hand and suddenly threw it at Butcher Chen.

"You send away beggars? Hmm!"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm new here and I don't know the rules here!"

After saying that, he quickly took out a small piece of silver from his pocket and handed it over respectfully.

Zhao Quan looked at him sarcastically, feeling disdainful in his heart. Just for this, you still want to do business on my territory?

"Brothers, beat him up!"

"Got it!"

Butcher Chen didn't understand why these people wouldn't let him go after he had given them all.

He originally wanted to resist, but was afraid of causing trouble for his benefactor.

He had inquired before he came.

His benefactor lived a very miserable life and was exiled to a Taoist temple in Yandang Mountain.

When he found out that his benefactor was ten years old, he was shocked, because the benefactor he saw only looked to be seven or eight years old.

From this we can see that her life is not easy, but at least I can make her eat more and grow taller.

Butcher Chen was beaten so badly that he could only protect his head and stomach, letting those people beat him without saying a word.

The desire to stay with my benefactor became stronger.

Soon the men got tired of beating him, and one of them ripped off Butcher Chen's purse and took it away.

Butcher Chen reached out to grab it, but was beaten again.

He didn't understand why the situation at the foot of the imperial city was like this. These people were like robbers.

What he didn't understand even more was why he was beaten up by these people when he hadn't offended anyone.

Those people took the money, overturned the stall, and left.

Butcher Chen lay on the ground for a long time before he slowly stood up.

He looked at his fat body with self-mockery, thinking that sometimes having more meat has its benefits.

Now I only have some minor injuries. It's a pity that all the money I earned today was taken away by them.

He picked up the meat on the ground and carefully brushed off the dust. At this moment, a man suddenly walked to his stall.

He looked at him smugly: "Haha... If you dare to come to your uncle's territory to steal business, you'll have to see if you have the luck to do it!"

After saying that, he left happily.

Butcher Chen looked at his back and finally saw clearly who this man was.

Before he came, he was the only butcher here, and he always shortchanged others by the weight, which made others very resentful.

Before, he was still curious about why he was the only one that dominated the market when there were so many people in this area.

Still so arrogant, now he finally understood.

I'm afraid this guy is in the same group with the gangsters before. I'm afraid they have used this method to drive away a lot of people!

Also!

Only in this way can you protect your own interests.

Butcher Chen smiled sarcastically, which pulled the wound at the corner of his mouth and made him twitch in pain.

He wanted to do his old business before because he thought that his benefactor liked to eat dragon bones and would definitely come to buy them often. As long as he sold meat, he would always meet him.

However, the several times he met her, she was always his benefactor's maid, and he didn't even have the chance to thank her in person.

The maidservants were nowhere to be seen today, and I don’t know when they will come again.

He will definitely sell this meat.

Even if I get beaten, it's worth it.

Butcher Chen cleaned up the dirty meat. He planned to go back and wash it and cook it for himself.

After packing up everything, he pushed his stall and left.

Limping all the way.

Liu Yue just passed by this man and did not notice Butcher Chen.

She was heading towards Li's Mansion, and when Liu Yue arrived, she saw that the door of Li's Mansion was closed.

Didn't they say that the whole family was wiped out? Have his servants returned?

It's only been two days, why does it seem like no one is here?

Liu Yue found a deserted place and climbed over the wall to get in.

When she went in, she saw that the place was in a mess and no one was there.
