C3 (1/2)

After the injuries on his body had been completely healed, Xu Heng would go and watch Luo Yi work — Actually he had nothing to do, and the things he wanted to do had not progressed in the slightest. Instead, he would think that rather than lying in bed wasting his time, it would be better to come out and experience the local customs and customs of the people at the border.

But he never would have thought that he would meet Luo Yi.

At that time, he had already been kicked out of Lin Ting's home for more than half a month.

He watched on like this for several days, and gradually, he was able to make sense of the situation.

”So he's a thief with a beggar's skin …” He muttered to himself.

However, with his many years of education, he could not rashly comment on other people's methods of survival, so he did not look down on Luo Yi. Furthermore, in these few days, Luo Yi was not like an ordinary thief.

Xu Heng changed his posture and looked at Luo Yi.

The one that was touched was a fat headed big eared merchant, Luo Yi hated him very much.

This merchant's name was Liu Dingxi, and he was a lustful person. He had flirted with many good women before, and he was very annoying. The year before last, he had taken a fancy to a fifteen-sixteen year old girl. He couldn't force her to marry him, and she actually forced his entire family to die in the wilderness. However, because he had an uncle who was an official in a neighbouring town, the matter was put down just like that.

Luo Yi resisted the urge to vomit and pounced on the man as she passed by, her claws leaving two clear fingerprints on the man's robes.

Liu Dingxi had an important guest to see today, and after hearing that the guest had a daughter who was as beautiful as a flower, he changed into a set of pure white clothes and made himself look like an elegant young master.

He took a deep breath and used his strength to kick Luo Yi in the stomach. At the same time, he cursed: ”Scram, where did this dirt come from!”

Luo Yi had been kicked by him, and probably because her ribs were injured, the pain slowly spread from his stomach down to her entire body. Her hands no longer had the strength to grab him, so she held his stomach and laughed apologetically as she retreated to a corner.

However, Liu Dingxi was a merchant, and just as she took two steps forward, she was about to touch her own purse. She felt empty for a moment, but then she suddenly thought of the beggar that suddenly jumped onto her, causing her to immediately blush and turn around, cursing as she turned back.

But by that time, Luo Yi had already disappeared.

She was wrapped around by Xu Heng's waist, and when Xu Heng touched the wall, he easily flipped the wall with her.

She opened her mouth to shout, but before she could finish, Xu Heng forced her to turn her head and look at Liu Dingxi, who had returned with an overbearing aura.

What a joke. This sort of situation was naturally more important than keeping his life.

She was stunned in Xu Heng's embrace, and did not notice that the other person's arms were grabbing onto her injured ribs, so she only secretly reached out a hand to cover her stomach while cursing in her heart: ”What the f * ck … ”How ruthless …”

For this reason, Lin Ting didn't know how many times he had said it, but she couldn't change it. He didn't think that after Lin Ting left, there would still be someone who would scold her for this.

Xu Heng lifted his hand and lightly pressed down on her injured body. When the latter was in so much pain that her tears were flying, and he was about to curse at him, his expression was indifferent as he glanced at her.

Luo Yi clenched her teeth and swallowed her foul language.

In actuality, there wasn't much emotion in that glance, but it carried a sense of majesty instead. Luo Yi was unconsciously frightened, she curled her lips and no longer looked at her, her expression was too intolerable, and also caused Xu Heng to smile when he looked at her.

As usual, Luo Yi did not notice, but after the pain subsided, she started to lose focus.

She and Xu Heng could be considered to be old acquaintances, so in this kind of situation, she would always feel that it was hypocritical to say thanks. She wouldn't say it, they were indeed not that familiar with each other yet …

Luo Yi's mind raced. Just as sshe thought of a compromise way to greet them, he was interrupted by Xu Heng: ”You're planning on using this way to raise the travelling fees?”

”Huh?” Luo Yi was stupefied for a moment, as if she did not understand what he was asking.

Xu Heng also didn't mind. After putting Luo Yi down, he turned around to look at the remaining ointment. ”Didn't you want to go look for him?”

Her intentions were obvious, but she was naive enough to think that no one could see them.

Since he had been exposed, Luo Yi was also no longer conflicted: ”Besides this, I don't have any other methods to raise travel fees.”

Indeed, she had planned to look for Lin Ting since a long time ago, but she didn't have any money on her and she didn't have any proper work to do.

Luo Yi raised her eyebrows, and felt that it was time for Xu Heng to ask her why she wasn't looking for a proper job to do. Thus, just as she was making up an excuse in her mind, she saw the other party raise his eyebrows at her, ”Li City isn't like you, a small place. If you leave so rashly, you probably won't be able to find anyone even after spending the majority of half a year.”

”But …” He meaningfully glanced at Luo Yi: ”I can help you.”

These words were said too unexpectedly, Luo Yi opened her mouth wide.

She knew that Xu Heng came from the Li City, and from the extent of his wealth, she guessed that he was a rich family. Therefore, if he were to help her, finding him would be twice the result for half the effort. Because of that, she closed her chin and stared unblinkingly at Xu Heng for a long time. Then, with a slight smile on her lips, she said, ”Thank you, there's no need.”

You rich people … Gadflies, she thought. Who knows what harsh conditions you will put forward for this? I don't want to risk my life.

Zhang He was as adorable as a rabbit eating a radish.

Xu Heng looked at him with curved eyebrows, and asked without thinking: ”Do you like eating carrots?”

”Huh?”

Luo Yi suspected that something was wrong with his ears, and his eyes moved back and forth, seeing that Xu Heng did not have the slightest bit of awkwardness, she touched her nose and said: ”It's not bad, I'm not picky with food.”

She was not the only one who was not picky with food. A child of a poor family. She had been so hungry before that she had even eaten tree bark before.

Oh.

Xu Heng nodded his head to indicate that he knew and did not continue with the topic. Instead, he replied, ”Since you like it, then eat some radish tonight.”
