Chapter 39: No Choice (4)
The person was rescued, and the big man violently shook off Zhou Cheng's hand. It would be more accurate to say that Zhou Cheng let go of it on purpose rather than saying that the big man shook it off himself. Zhou Cheng walked to Yin Yin's side...
"To be so harsh——"
Yin Yin took out a silk scarf and wiped the blood from the corner of the boy's mouth with concern.
"Humph, who the hell are you? How dare you meddle in my business?"
The big man touched the wrist that Zhou Cheng had grabbed. It seemed that he felt some pain because Zhou Cheng's force was too strong, but he didn't want to accept this reality, so he yelled at Zhou Cheng and the others angrily.
"how's it going?"
Zhou Cheng ignored the big man's anger and only cared about the situation of Yin Yin and the boy in front of him...
"My face is a little red and swollen. How can you be so harsh on a child like this? Ah——"
Yinyin only noticed the red and swollen face, and suddenly found that the boy's left ear was also bleeding. It was because he had been pulled by the big man before. Seeing this, Yinyin's heart ached even more, and she hurriedly used a silk scarf to stop the bleeding of the wound under the ear. Seeing this, even Zhou Cheng couldn't help feeling unhappy...
"I'm talking, can't you hear me?"
The big man was even more furious at Zhou Cheng's neglect. He stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Cheng's left shoulder. His right wrist was injured by Zhou Cheng just now. However, as soon as his hand was on Zhou Cheng's shoulder, the next moment...
"ah--"
The big man felt that the scene in front of him seemed to be reversed, and then he was thrown heavily to the ground, and his entire left arm was turned upside down and caught in Zhou Cheng's hand. The pain caused by the heavy fall to the ground was far less than the pain of the entire arm. This made the big man scream, and now even the drunkenness was completely sober...
"It hurts, let go, let go quickly--"
The big man screamed.
No one knew how Zhou Cheng managed to knock the seven-foot-tall, burly man to the ground. They just felt very happy and applauded.
"Does it still hurt?"
The redness, swelling and pain on his face had made the boy speechless, and he could only nod in response to Yin Yin's questions.
"How cruel—"
Seeing the boy in front of her being beaten like this, tears welled up in Yinyin's eyes...
"Tell me, why did you hit him?"
"That kid, he stole, stole my--"
The big man didn't finish his words. Zhou Cheng was displeased with his words and increased the strength in his hands. The big man screamed in pain again...
"Ah - stop, stop it, that guy stole my money, I just want it back -"
After hearing what the big man said, Yin Yin asked the boy: "Did you steal?"
The young man shook his head desperately. He wanted to say something but couldn't utter anything. He was just denying it vehemently, and Zhou Cheng saw it all.
"How much is lost?"
"Five, five taels——"
Zhou Cheng was a little surprised to hear the big man's words , but it was a lot for ordinary people, enough for the food expenses of a family of three for two or three months. Zhou Cheng was silent for a while, loosened the big man's hand, and took out a silver ingot from his waist bag. It was obvious that the silver ingot was ten taels. Zhou Cheng threw it on the big man and turned to Yin Yin: "Let's go, let's take him to see a doctor first--"
"Um!"
Yin Yin looked at Zhou Cheng, then stood up and pulled the boy away. Zhou Cheng followed her and left the crowd.
Watching Yinyin leave, Zhao Ziheng held the guardrail tightly with both hands, which made some noises. Wang Ye and Feng Qinghan knew that he was enduring, enduring not to see Yinyin, who could see her but couldn't just say she would see her. Who could understand this helpless feeling? It was just because they had no choice and the heavens didn't do what they wanted, so they couldn't easily meet at this time!
When Zhou Cheng and Yin Yin just left the crowd, the big man who was knocked down by Zhou Cheng finally got up. He took the silver that Zhou Cheng threw to him and looked at Zhou Chang who was defenseless behind him. He had evil thoughts in his mind. He picked up a wooden stick from the side and followed Zhou Cheng quietly. The people who noticed him had no intention of reminding him and just dodged to the side as if to protect themselves.
Just as the big man raised the stick in his hand and swung it towards Zhou Cheng, Zhou Cheng had already noticed it and turned around to prepare for the blow. However, Zhao Ziheng jumped down from the second floor and held the big man's hand behind his back. The big man let go of the stick in pain. This action did not attract the attention of Yinyin who was walking in front. She knew that he did not even look back and continued to walk forward without any feeling. Zhou Cheng was a little surprised at first, turned his head to look at Yinyin who was still walking forward, turned his head to look at Zhao Ziheng, and then followed Yinyin and left the crowd without saying anything. Zhao Ziheng just watched without saying a word...
When Zhao Ziheng was staring at Yin Yin's departing back in a daze, the strength in his hands may have been relaxed, so that the big man broke free, and the big man immediately turned around and punched Zhao Ziheng. Originally thought that Zhao Ziheng was in a daze, but unexpectedly, the big man's fist didn't hit Zhao Ziheng but was hit by Zhao Ziheng's elbow in the abdomen. The big man knelt on the ground in pain again, and before he could feel the pain for a while, Wang Ye, who had come out of nowhere, hit him hard on the back of his neck with a knife. He fell to the ground with his eyes rolled back. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to wake up this time.
Zhao Ziheng was not surprised or shaken by Wang Ye's actions. His eyes were still fixed on the direction of Yin Yin who had disappeared into the crowd...
"Aren't you going to chase him?"
"…What if I catch up?"
The brief answer made people aware of Zhao Ziheng's helpless and depressed mood. Wang Ye beside him sighed softly. Although he could see him, he could not meet him. He admired Zhao Ziheng's ability to suppress his impulsive desires, but the harm it brought him might be greater. Behind the two of them was Feng Qinghan, who had come down at an unknown time. He was staring at Zhao Ziheng from behind, with sharp eyes full of coldness and the arc of his mouth. Did he seem to find it interesting?
Why did Yin Yin appear on the streets of the market?
——Adjust the time forward to when Yin Yin fainted in the Imperial Garden——
"Want to go out of the palace for a walk?"
"Well, although the palace is great, I want to see my own home—"
"But, your body—"
"Eh? Is there something wrong with my body?"
“No, no—”
"Princess, the emperor is just worried about you and afraid that you are too tired."
Yinyin had just fainted due to excessive fatigue. Zhou Cheng was of course worried, but Yinyin didn't know. She should have known her own body better, but Yinyin's physical condition was not ordinary. Even she didn't know why she fainted. Moreover, everything she knew was told to her by Zhou Cheng. Her fainting could only be related to a serious illness she had not long ago. She didn't think much about other things...
