Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

How could he be so careless as to reveal the name of the master family?

Fortunately, nothing more was said, otherwise in this remote village, the villagers might have no idea about the title of "Marquis", but after all, it is better to have less trouble than more.

Xiao Zhixue closed her eyes, but her heart was in turmoil because of the word "Marquis".

Fan Yanmu's true identity is like a fog, which now adds a bit of mystery.

She couldn't help but wonder what kind of relationship this man, whose whereabouts were always erratic and whose words were cautious, had with the high and mighty marquis?

Could it be that Fan Yanmu, Ying Yi and Ying Er are all close confidants of the marquis, playing some unknown role?

Thinking of this, she recalled the Marquis of Zhenping who had given her the token. He was a well-known figure in the martial arts world. If Fan Yanmu was his subordinate, then all her previous speculations might not be groundless.

Fan Yanmu's identity is obviously not as simple as it seems. The secret hidden behind it makes her curious and uneasy.

Xiao Zhixue yawned lightly, stretched her waist which was a little stiff from sitting still for a long time, and slowly stood up.

She turned to her parents and said softly, "Dad, Mom, I feel a little tired after lying down. I want to go to town for a walk and get some fresh air."

When her eyes turned gently to Xiao Tingrui, she added, "Big brother has always been in poor health. I want to take this opportunity to go to town and see if I can find any herbs that can help his condition."

At this time, the town was peaceful and no one was disturbing it. Zhou Shuqiong and Xiao Wei looked at each other and saw that their daughter had made up her mind and her words were full of care for her brother, so they nodded in agreement, their eyes full of encouragement and support.

"Third girl, don't go too far, come back quickly."

The mother's voice was gentle yet a little worried, floating gently in the morning breeze.

Xiao Zhixue turned around, a gentle smile on her lips, her eyes flashing with bright light, as if it could dispel all the haze.

She nodded lightly, her long black hair fluttering gently in the morning light. Then she turned around and walked briskly onto the stone road towards Sanma Town.

Sanma Town, a small but humane place, exudes the flavor of life in every corner.

The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds and onto the ancient streets, giving the town a warm golden glow.

Xiao Zhixue walked along the familiar alleys. After a while, her eyes fixed on an ancient medicine shop. The three words "Ren Yi Tang" on the lintel were particularly eye-catching in the sun.

As you push the door open, a faint medicinal fragrance hits your nose. Various medicinal herbs are neatly arranged on the medicine cabinet, like a small world hiding the mysteries of nature.

Xiao Zhixue spoke softly and explained her needs to the shopkeeper. Her voice was as clear and pleasant as spring water, with a hint of imperceptible anxiety.

The shopkeeper was an old man in his fifties, with wrinkles all over his face, revealing the traces of time.

Hearing this, he frowned slightly and shook his head slowly with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, young lady, I'm temporarily out of stock of the herbs you requested.

However, the 'Huai Cao Tang' at the end of East Street has a wide variety of food, and maybe it can meet your needs."

After thanking the shopkeeper, Xiao Zhixue followed the instructions and walked through several busy streets, which were lined with numerous shops and were very bustling.

Soon, at the end of East Street, a more imposing medicine shop came into view, with three large golden characters "Huai Cao Tang" shining brightly in the sun.

Just as she was about to step through the threshold, a fierce quarrel suddenly broke out in the store, breaking the tranquility of the early morning.

"How did you learn to do such sneaky things, you ignorant brat?"

An angry and sharp voice sounded.

Then, a young but firm voice defended, "I didn't steal. You can't just accuse me!"

Xiao Zhixue's heart moved and she quickened her pace and walked into the store.

I saw a little boy about seven or eight years old, his clothes were a little worn, his face was flushed red, there was a stubborn light in his eyes, and he was holding a medicine bag tightly in both hands, as if it was his whole world.

"Humph, you still want to quibble? What's in your hand? That's clearly the medicine bag I just gave to the customer, how did it end up in your hand? If you don't hand it over, I'll call the police to arrest you!"

The shopkeeper's tone was full of unquestionableness.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhixue strode forward without hesitation. She saw the helplessness and grievance in the boy's eyes, as well as his determination to do everything for his loved ones.

The shopkeeper raised his hand high, and just as it was about to fall, Xiao Zhixue grabbed it firmly with a clean and neat movement.

"Aren't adults afraid of losing face when they bully children?"

Xiao Zhixue's voice was cold and firm, her eyes were like autumn water, and her calmness revealed a strength that could not be ignored.

She had sharp eyes and had already noticed the medicine bag that had fallen in the corner of the pharmacy. It did not match what the shopkeeper had said, and she immediately understood what was going on.

Having suffered from indifference and exclusion in a complicated family environment since childhood, she has an inseparable resonance with the plight of the weak.

Facing Xiao Zhixue's interference, the shopkeeper was full of disdain. He looked at her slightly worn-out clothes from the corner of his eyes and said harshly, "Where did you come from, poor girl? Don't get in the way here, or I'll send you to the government too!"

Xiao Zhixue smiled indifferently and increased the strength of her hands. The shopkeeper felt pain, his wrist felt like it was locked by an iron hoop, and his face instantly became distorted.

The pain caused his whole body to spasm, and beads of sweat rolled down one after another like pearls from a broken string.

“You, a man dressed as a beggar, do you know whose brother I am? If you don’t let go, I will let you see how powerful my family is!” The shopkeeper roared in severe pain, and his threatening words were filled with a bit of desperate struggle.

Xiao Zhixue just stood there quietly, her eyes becoming more and more determined. The air around her seemed to freeze, and an inviolable majesty emerged spontaneously.

At this moment, she is no longer an unknown woman in Sanma Town, but the embodiment of justice, guarding every unseen corner.

Xiao Zhixue pretended to be panicked, flicked her fingers lightly, as if she had touched something hot, and loosened her clenched hands in a pretentious manner, with a deliberate tremor in her voice, "Oh, who on earth are you, sir? I'm so scared that I'm pale!"

After saying this, his eyes moved around, secretly observing the other person's reaction.

Upon seeing this, the drugstore owner took the opportunity to lower his head and glanced at his wrist, only to see that it was already red and swollen like the rising sun. Anger spread rapidly in his chest like wildfire.

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes burning with anger, raised his arm, and slapped Xiao Zhixue's pretty face with a whistling slap, accompanied by his roar, "You ignorant beggar, you dare to hurt me, today I will make you suffer!"
