C19 (1/2)

Daybreak. The rapid knocks sounded once more.

The father walked out and opened the door with a puzzled expression.

The moment the door latch was picked up, the door was kicked open and the girl's father was forced to the ground.

The girl hastily ran out of the house to help her father up, and looked at the people who had barged in.

They were all fierce, and the girl was curled up in her father's embrace.

At this moment, a manager walked out from the crowd. The girl's father said to him, ”Didn't my family's little girl give you the jade pendant yesterday? Why are you guys here again?”

The manager looked at him with an insidious smile and said indifferently: ”This broken jade pendant, this shitty money, my young master said that he only recognizes money and not things.”

Then, he threw the jade pendant on the ground and turned around. ”Fifty silver taels. Come and get it tonight. If you don't, it will be a pity for your pretty girl.”

When the girl heard the manager's laughter, her body trembled uncontrollably. Years of memories once again surfaced in the girl's mind as a single tear uncontrollably fell from her eyes.

At this moment, the white-clothed youth on the rooftop in the distance saw this scene and his face darkened. The girl in his heart was his reverse scale and no one was allowed to touch her.

The girl picked up the jade pendant and wiped off the dust on its body. She murmured, ”Grandmother, it seems that things are not as you said.”

The girl clearly remembered that before she left, her grandma had given her many accessories to protect her from emergencies. But now, it seemed that it wasn't a good idea at all.

The girl's father sat paralyzed on the ground after those people left. He did not expect the debt he owed from failing his business to implicate his innocent daughter. He was momentarily at a loss.

A day passed in silence.

Nightfall quickly arrived. The girl's father paced back and forth in the room uneasily. Could it be that he really wanted them to bring his daughter back home?

His father clenched his fists as his eyes widened. In his heart, he secretly made up his mind. If they dared to try and force him, he would fight them to the death.

There was a knock on the door. It seemed a bit warm, not as urgent as it had been in the morning.

This confused the girl's father. Those people were always making a ruckus. What were they doing today? Why were they so gentle?

His father opened the door doubtfully. At this moment, a group of soldiers entered the room, shocking the father of the girl.

He didn't think that his emotions would actually move the government. This would be troublesome. If that steward came, he could play tricks with him, but the government … What should he do? The old man panicked and didn't know what to do. Seeing this scene, the mother quickly hugged the girl tightly, as if she was afraid that the girl would leave her side.

At this moment, a person walked over from behind the soldiers. Upon closer inspection, the old man realized that it was the county magistrate of the local tyrant. He became even more alarmed. Why was this person here?

The county magistrate walked up, looked at him who was still trembling, and then walked straight to his daughter's side. The old father was about to say something, but the county magistrate's voice had already arrived.

When the old man heard the county magistrate's words, he was somewhat puzzled. Why did the county magistrate call him boy and his daughter young miss? His words were actually fawning on her. This confused the old father. How could this domineering local tyrant end up like this today?

In fact, even the girl was puzzled. How did she know his identity?

Suddenly, the county magistrate seemed to recall something. He turned around and said, ”Grand Master, quickly bring the package over.”

A frail figure rushed over and said with a flattering smile, ”Young miss, here's your bag.”

The moment the girl saw the bundle, she suddenly understood that all of this had been arranged by the boy.

The girl tightly hugged her bundle as tears streamed down her face.

When the county magistrate saw the girl's expression, he panicked for a moment. He still remembered the words that the person holding the token that gave him the appearance of Zhen said to himself: If she ever shed another tear in the future, prepare to bid farewell to this world!

Saying this, the youth punched at the stone lion beside him.

For a moment, the county magistrate was stunned. The dust that filled the sky blurred his eyes, and the boy disappeared, as did the stone lion.

The county magistrate stood blankly on the spot, reflecting on everything that had just happened.

He remembered that at the edge of the sky, he remembered a saying: Three years from now, I will come back and see how you behave.

Now that he saw the girl's tears, the county magistrate became flustered, not knowing what to do. He was afraid that the young man would see everything from a corner, so he could not help but cast a pleading look at the Grand Master.

Seeing the county magistrate's expression, the magistrate rolled his eyes, walked up to him with his bamboo in his chest, and said in a gentle voice, ”Miss, the boy who was given the package said that he will be back in three years.”

When the girl heard this, she raised her head and looked at the Grand Master with a hopeful expression. She wished that she knew more about the boy.

But when the Grand Master said this, he stopped, as if he had nothing else to say.

This caused the girl to feel somewhat disappointed.

At this moment, the county magistrate, who was standing to the side, seemed to have remembered something. He thought for a moment, then said, ”Miss, those people won't come again, that young master has already helped you solve your problem. Oh right, if Miss encounters any difficulties in the future, you must tell me.”

As he said this, the county magistrate was on the verge of tears, as if he was saying, ”If you want to come find me, I'll cry for you.”

When the girl heard what the boy had done for her, she couldn't help but smile.

So the boy didn't leave without saying goodbye. The boy was still by her side. So the boy was so gentle … Many of them had started to ripple in the girl's heart.

In the blink of an eye, the girl ran out of the house, causing the group of people in the courtyard to be puzzled. In their hearts, they thought, ”What is this young lady up to …” The girl didn't pay attention to everyone's surprised gazes and resolutely ran outside.

It was dark outside and he couldn't see the road clearly, but the girl was indeed running very fast.

In the blink of an eye, the girl stopped listening and squatted down by a corner. She touched the uneven surface of the wall and slowly felt the small print on the wall.

The tears of happiness flowed down in an instant, and now the girl seemed to hug the boy and say, Thank you.
