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

However, just as the palm was about to fall, Xiao Zhixue moved swiftly, like a leopard ready to pounce, clenched her fist, and swung it out with force, hitting the boss's nose squarely.

At that moment, it seemed as if countless golden stars exploded before the boss' eyes. The severe pain made him loosen his grip on the child.

He staggered back several steps and finally managed to steady himself, looking in a miserable state.

The child seemed to have found a safe shelter and quickly hid behind Xiao Zhixue's solid back, his big eyes filled with gratitude and peace of mind.

The pharmacy owner's cheeks swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and blood was faintly oozing from the corners of his mouth. His expression was ferocious and helpless.

Anger and humiliation intertwined, the boss's face turned ashen, his hair and beard stood up, like an enraged beast, he let out bursts of low roars and pounced on Xiao Zhixue again viciously.

But before his attack got close, Xiao Zhixue swept her kick across and knocked him to the ground cleanly. In the flying dust, the boss's figure looked particularly desolate.

Xiao Zhixue's voice was as cold as ice: "No matter who your elder brother is, anyone who dares to insult me ​​as a beggar must pay the price!"

As she finished speaking, her fists fell accurately on the boss's face one after another, like a dense rainstorm. Each blow was accompanied by the dull sound of bones colliding and the boss's painful wail.

Xiao Zhixue did not stop until the boss's face became completely blurred and unrecognizable.

She snorted disdainfully, without even glancing at him, and strode away without looking back, leaving only one sentence floating in the air: "How good can the medicines in a pharmacy run by a snob be? It's better not to go there."

Just as Xiao Zhixue stepped out of the drugstore, the little boy Guo Xiao hurriedly chased out, his eyes full of sincerity and anxiety.

"Thanks to my benefactor for saving me, but I really didn't steal the medicine. Please don't report it to the police, okay?"

He pleaded, his young face full of grievance.

Xiao Zhixue looked back at Guo Xiao. His eyes were clear but concealed a subtle tenacity, which made her laugh out loud. She patted Guo Xiao's shoulder to comfort him, "Don't worry, I won't report it to the police. You should go home soon. Your family must be worried."

Just as Xiao Zhixue was about to move forward, Guo Xiao stood in front of her anxiously, his face full of worry and concern, "My benefactor, are you here to buy medicine? Is someone in your family sick?"

As he spoke, he carefully held the medicine bag in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then, as if he had made a great decision, handed it to Xiao Zhixue, "This is the medicine I prepared for my sister. If you also need it, please accept it. I can go somewhere else and find a solution."

Although Guo Xiao's words were firm, his nervously intertwined fingers revealed his uneasiness.

He knew that he was short of money. After buying these medicines, he only had a pitiful twenty copper coins left. He had planned to use the money to treat his sister's illness, but now it seemed that this meager amount of silver was not enough to cover his need to buy medicine again.

Xiao Zhixue looked at the young child in front of her who knew how to be grateful and give back. She was touched. She gently shook her head and refused. Her smile was full of warmth. "I appreciate your kindness, but you should keep the medicine. Your sister's condition is more urgent. Taking good care of her is the most important thing."

After she finished speaking, Xiao Zhixue did not stop, but took big steps, her figure lengthened in the sunlight, and gradually disappeared at the end of the street.

Guo Xiao stood there, watching the departing figure, his heart filled with gratitude.

Thinking of the possible revenge from the pharmacy owner, he didn't dare to stay for long. He made up his mind, turned around quickly, and ran towards another way to find medicine with fear for the unknown.

When Xiao Zhixue returned home, she found Fan Yanmu had been waiting there. The little episode that happened on the street in her heart gradually faded away with the warmth of home.

When Fan Yanmu entered the house, he did not see Xiao Zhixue. After learning from her family that she had gone out to buy medicine, he was about to go out to look for her, but unexpectedly Xiao Zhixue had already returned, exhausted, with firm steps and a light in her eyes that could not be ignored.

The two smiled at each other, and the warm atmosphere of home instantly filled the entire room.

This time, Fan Yanmu acted out of character and did not show a stern expression. Instead, he spoke to Xiao Zhixue first, with a hint of gentleness in his voice.

"Did you retrieve the medicine successfully?"

Xiao Zhixue was quite surprised when she saw this, and Fan Yanmu's proactive inquiry made her feel warm in her heart.

She then recounted her unpleasant experience in the drugstore in just a few words, trying not to reveal too much emotion in her tone.

After listening to this, Fan Yanmu narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, as if he could see through all the haze, and his face instantly became gloomy like dark clouds.

He turned his gaze and locked onto Ying Yi who was standing beside him. His voice was low but full of unquestionable power.

"You, go to that pharmacy right now and check it out. If the shopkeeper really dares to report to the police, don't show any mercy. Let him know how powerful we are."

Upon hearing this, Yingyi moved slightly, nodded silently, and then slid out of the door silently like a wisp of night wind.

Ying Er had been watching the battle for a long time. Seeing this, he was unwilling to miss this "actual combat exercise". He quickly cleared his throat and asked for the order with an expectant look on his face.

"Master, please take me with you. It will be safer if two of us do the job together."

Fan Yanmu didn't say much, but only responded with a nod that was so subtle that it was almost imperceptible, which was the best compliment in Ying Er's eyes.

His face immediately showed joy, and he walked out happily with Yingyi. The two figures quickly disappeared on the road leading to the pharmacy at the east end of Sanma Town.

Xiao Zhixue raised her eyebrows, and an indescribable warmth surged in her heart.

She had never expected that Fan Yanmu would care so much about her little thing.

In fact, she had shown mercy to her men in the drugstore earlier because she was afraid that the matter would become a big deal and cause more trouble for her family.

Now, with Ying Yi and Ying Er coming forward to "persuade" the shopkeeper, even if the situation gets out of control, I believe that with Fan Yanmu's ability, it will not be difficult to resolve it.

Although she was not very clear about Fan Yanmu's true identity, since he was related to the Marquis, he could be a small local official.

This sense of security made Xiao Zhixue feel sweet in her heart, and when she looked at Fan Yanmu again, her eyes couldn't help but soften a little.

After rummaging through a pile of scattered luggage for a while, Xiao Zhixue discovered that most of her family members only brought spare clothes.

She looked down at her skirt which was torn in half during the fight and was now wrapped with leopard meat, and decided to go to the tailor shop to buy new clothes.

Just as she was about to step out of the door, Fan Yanmu seemed to have noticed her intention and quickly followed her with a hint of concern in his tone.

"where are you going?"

Xiao Zhixue glanced sideways and noticed that Fan Yanmu had quietly changed the clothes that were torn by the leopard, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart again.
