Chapter 29: A Murder Case Caused by Ten Trays of Steamed Buns (Part 1)
Su Luo snorted and laughed twice, obviously not taking it seriously. Looking at the breakfast that was knocked over by Su, he said with regret: "Congratulations to her."
Su Yi said with a smile: "I should also congratulate my sister."
Su Luo no longer wanted to explain anything. These two people in her family had an inexplicable admiration for Zhou Chongwen. Ever since they knew that Miss Xie had gone to participate in the audition, they had repeatedly invited Zhou Si to stay at their home, explicitly or implicitly, so that they could have a chance to ruin her reputation, but of course they failed in the end.
Looking back at Yun Lang, the boy was still confused and had a big "sleepy" written on his face, looking a little innocent. Experience tells us that beautiful mushrooms are poisonous. Su Luo decided to take this dangerous person out first, "Hey, get up, I'll take you to have morning tea."
"Looking for trouble?" Yun Lang immediately perked up, his eyes sparkling, "Where's my knife?"
Su Luo quickly pulled him out, and while walking, she said to her family, "I'm going to buy breakfast, and please keep the knife on the table."
Feng Yunlang disagreed, saying that Dao was his wife and had never left him for a day.
Su Luo said that it was not popular to take his wife out on the street these days, and he picked up a shovel from the corner, "If you don't mind, then take your mistress out on the street. Although her nature is a little inferior, she also has the ability to cooperate with others."
Apparently Yunlang understood the difference between big breasts and a mistress, and realized that carrying a knife was exploitation, while carrying a shovel was exploitation and would affect the appearance, so he flatly refused.
After leaving the house and arriving at the morning market, the bandit leader found everything new to him. He kept saying that he had seen countless big scenes, but had never seen a stall at a morning market.
Su Luo dragged him to a soup dumpling shop on the corner of the street. That soup dumpling shop was very famous in Zhuxian Town and was once regarded as the number one rival of Baozi Xing. It only sold twenty trays in the early morning, but now there were about seven or eight people queuing in front of the shop. Su Luo asked him to line up there, saying that he didn't bring any money and wanted to go home to get it.
In fact, Su Luo brought money with her, she just wanted to leave for a while and find someone.
Su Luo was always a little scared of this bandit leader. Although he seemed to be righteous and said that he would not let his men kill people, he was from a bad family after all, and he would always use a knife to scare people. So when he mentioned the knife, Su Luo wanted to find a place for him to go, so that he would not hang around at home every day and scare her family.
When she arrived at Zhou Chongwen's calligraphy and painting stall, it was just as Su Luo had expected. Although this guy already had assets worth a thousand taels, he still came to the stall eating his dry steamed buns.
"I've made you a relative." Su Luo went up to him and helped him pack up the stall without any further ado. "Hurry up and find a house in town to prepare for the move."
Zhou Chongwen said that I don’t plan to get married now, so you don’t have to worry about me.
Su Luo was helpless. "Although my name is Lei Feng, I don't care about everything. I'm not here to find you a wife. It's your cousin who's here to seek revenge."
After hearing the whole story, Zhou Chongwen took out a piece of paper from his bosom and stuffed it into Su Luo's hand without thinking, "Give him the money if he wants it. You can't keep him around."
Su Luo looked down and saw that it was a silver note of 1,000 taels from the silver shop in the town. It seemed that it had just been deposited, so he made a contribution.
Su Luo couldn't help but admire this man's righteousness. One thousand taels, this guy couldn't earn so much in his entire life running a stall, but he could give it away without blinking an eye. Does this mean that his gentlemanly realm is too high, or does it mean that there is something strange in his brain?
Su Luo stuffed the banknote back into Zhou Chongwen's arms, "If the money can get rid of him, I will give it to him. This kid probably knows that the money won't last long, so he wants to join the gang and find a long-term meal ticket."
Zhou Chongwen was silent, frowning and thinking all the way. When he returned to the morning market, a large group of people gathered in front of the soup dumpling shop. It didn't seem like the shop was offering free dumplings, but there was another reason. As for the reason... Su Luo immediately had a clear image of the young and handsome face of the bandit leader in his mind.
Su Luo squeezed into the crowd, saw the situation clearly, and held his forehead with his hand.
Yunlang was sitting on a bench in front of the bun stall, with one of his long legs stretched out and the other foot on the bench, sitting in a very ungraceful manner. There were seven or eight empty steamers in front of him, and he was holding a bun in his hand, about to put it into his mouth.
What made Su Luo collapse the most was that there was a person kneeling on the ground next to him, with black eyes, obviously having been beaten.
This scumbag! If you eat the buns for free, at most you have to pay for them. But if you beat someone up, it will be troublesome. Not only do you have to pay for the medical expenses, but you also have to consider whether the person you beat up has a kind heart and will blackmail you.
In this situation, Su Luo wanted to hide and go home immediately to take her mother and brother back to the village to hide for a few days. The village chief had caused her trouble the day before. If they really developed a cooperative relationship in the future, who knows how many more troubles there would be.
"You're back." Yun Lang spotted Su Luo turning around secretly in the crowd and picked up two steamers beside him. "Pay, I'm done. These two steamers are for Auntie and me."
Looking at this kid's expression, he doesn't show any regret at all, he is very frank. Could it be that he was not the one who hit the person?
Su Luo pointed at the guy with black eyes and howling, "Didn't you beat him?"
"Yes." Yun Lang answered straightforwardly, "Who told him to buy ten trays of buns? What would I eat if he bought them all?"
The boy who was beaten finally understood why he was beaten. He stopped howling and squatted in circles, reflecting on his serious mistake of buying ten trays of buns in one go.
Su Luo wanted to dig a hole and bury herself. What's wrong with others buying ten trays? They didn't even look at how much they would eat!
After quickly paying for the buns, Su Luo rushed over to pull Yun Lang away, then shouted "I'm sorry" to the victim from a distance - she didn't have the courage to go over to check the injuries for fear of having to pay compensation.
Zhou Chongwen didn't say a word on the way back, and it seemed that he was thinking about whether there was any way to get rid of the bandits. Yun Lang was very unhappy when he knew that Su Luo had recognized him as a godfather. He frowned and struggled for a long time, and finally sighed, "Forget it, let's temporarily disappear from the name of Yiluanfeng from now on." It seems that the bandit leader can also distinguish the importance of things. What he needs now is a safe identity.
Su Luo was very angry. After hearing this sigh, he didn't know where he got the courage from. He turned around and pointed at Yun Lang's nose and shouted: "As a bandit leader, you have the nerve to attack an ordinary citizen."
"In my eyes, people are divided into those who can be robbed and those who cannot be robbed, not ordinary and extraordinary." Yun Lang answered as if it was a matter of course.
Su Luo stopped talking and cursed God for torturing her. She already had Zhou Chongwen, a man with communication problems, by her side, and now Feng Yunlang, who was completely unreasonable, was sent to her.
When he got home, Su had already gone to work. After Su Yi finished eating the buns he brought back, he sat in the yard doing his homework under the guidance of Zhou Si. This boy was preparing to enter the official school in the town, so he was working extremely hard.
Yun Lang looked at it for a while out of boredom, then pulled Su Yi up and said, "Why should a man write words? Come, I will teach you how to use a big sword." Then he went to the house to find a sword.
Zhou Chongwen was in a state of displeasure. He called back Su Yi and gave him a few words of admonition, "Diligence pays off, but playfulness does not." The bandit leader happened to come out after failing to find a knife, and he said, "Who says actors are disloyal? The famous Third Sister Tao on the Qinhuai River was very loyal to me."
Zhou Si's expression showed that he was so angry that he was hurt. Su Luo felt that his head was getting bigger and bigger. He pulled Yun Lang and said that they should go to deposit money. Zhou Chongwen was worried and said that he would go too. When they arrived in front of the silver box, they were embarrassed. Two thousand taels of silver, nearly 200 kilograms, were not strong enough for Zhou Si to bear.
Yun Lang grabbed Zhou Si by the collar and threw him behind him, then easily clamped the silver box on his waist, weighed it, and said disdainfully, "You are so mean. These must be more than one thousand taels. You lied to me and said that the money had been divided among others."
Su Luo remained calm and said, "It was indeed divided. I have two portions, one of which belongs to your "cousin."
Yun Lang was not too fond of this cousin either, saying that anyone who could be called brother by him must be a hero, and this kid couldn't even lift 200 kilograms, so he should call me brother from now on.
Su Luo would not reply to this. When he was about to leave, Zhou Chongwen chased him out, and he was still worried.
On the way to the silver shop, Zhou Chongwen thought of several ideas to get rid of the robbers. Finally, he felt that reporting to the police was a feasible method. Su Luo of course disagreed. The two of them walked closer and closer while whispering, and unknowingly left Yun Lang behind.
"This kid probably has no ill intentions. He just lost his way after the stronghold was destroyed, so he found a place for himself." Su Luo said what he was thinking. "We must not report him to the authorities. If he gets away, he will definitely come back for revenge. If we catch him, he will tell the truth about the burning of the stronghold, and the authorities will come to us to recover the money. You have seen what I have experienced in the past few months. You can't bear to see me lose everything again, right?"
Zhou Chongwen stopped talking and did not agree, but he also did not mention reporting to the police again. It was obvious that his sympathy index for Su Luo had reached an unprecedented height.
Su Luo was very lucky that Zhou Si did not come up with any profound reasoning to refute her. She was able to save the silver and was in a good mood. Seeing that the silver shop was right in front of her, she turned around to greet Yun Lang. When she turned around, Su Luo was like a lightning rod standing in a storm. Amid the lightning and thunder, she was struck by countless bolts of lightning.
There was nothing behind them, Yun Lang...had disappeared.
