Chapter 1 String Lingxiao into a flower chain

It's almost June. Although it's still early, the sun is already burning the earth rudely. Walking on the road, the soles of my feet seem to be burned by the heat.

Ling Xiao wiped the sweat on his head and put the soaked bangs behind his ears, revealing his white forehead. At this time, she was wearing a bamboo basket on her little arm. At first glance, it was the kind of farmer's skillful woman who knitted it herself, which was fine and exquisite. I don't know what was in it, and I was carefully covered with an old cloth that had faded but washed cleanly.

Looking at the hawkers on the roadside in front of him, the hawking sound came one after another. It was so lively. Ling Xiao thought that he might have some kind brothers and sisters to take care of her business, so he tucked the cloth feet covered on the bamboo basket and quickly walked forward.

This Magpie Street is not the center of Phoenix. It is not very prosperous, and it is even full of poverty and sourness. Generally, rich and noble families disdain to come here. Speaking of which, Ling Xiao is also rich... But she often comes to sell bracelets made of Ling Xiaohua.

She is still young and can't do anything except help her mother with some effortless housework. Since one time when her mother helped her make a string of bracelets to make her happy, she came up with this idea and helped her family more or less.

Lingxiaohua is not a valuable thing. In this Phoenix, it can be said that it is everywhere. The city is better. The countryside is simply full of mountains and fields. From May to June, it is as red as fire. So no matter how exquisite and beautiful the flower chain is, few people buy it, even if it is only a penny.

But in any case, this is also a "no-book business", which always arouses the jealousy of some people. Well, when Yunxia slowly began to turn red that day, Ling Xiao carried a small basket with a smile on his cheeks. When she walked home happily in the sunset, there were several shabby little boys on the corner of the street staring at her maliciously.

Ling Xiao patted the small cloth bag around her waist, and there was the sound of copper collision. Today, I don't know whether it was lucky or because the street was particularly lively, a total of six people bought her flower chain. She thought how happy it would be for her mother to return home and hand over the copper money to her mother.

Thinking like this, just as he was about to hurry back, a few people suddenly came out of the corner in front of her and stood in front of her.

Ling Xiao was shocked and subconsciously covered his pocket. He saw several boys of his size in front of him. He looked poor and his facial features were still very young, but they were fierce.

"Where are you from? Don't you know this is our territory? A wild child dares to come here to do this business without even saying hello. The strongest boy who took the lead said first.

These children are not more than ten years old. They don't understand the meaning of the word "no business" at all. They just think that this is really a good job to make money without spending money.

"I... I..." It's not the first time that Ling Xiao has been bullied, but after all, he is still young. He is still very scared when he suddenly faces such a fierce boy alone. She looked at the side. There were few pedestrians, and now there was none, and she became more and more frightened.

This road was originally a remote alley that she looked for in order to go home quietly. Anyway, it was broad daylight, and it was not very far from home, and she was not afraid to walk on weekdays. She didn't expect to be so bold. The blue sky jumped out in the day, and she didn't know what they wanted to do.

Everyone couldn't say anything when they saw her. They thought they were scared, so they laughed proudly and came forward to grab Ling Xiao's purse and basket. Ling Xiao was really regretful at this time. If he had known that he would have tried to make his aunt mock and not take this road.

Seeing that the money bag was about to be robbed, Ling Xiao cried "wow" and didn't remember to turn around and run away, but it was estimated that they couldn't run away, and they could only hold the things in their hands.

How can the six copper coins make my mother embroider a less veil? Thinking of her mother's red and swollen fingers for embroidery, Ling Xiao cried more and more.

Seeing Ling Xiao crying like this, the boy seemed to be a little unbearable. He frowned and said, "Well, okay, then you are allowed to leave half, and take out the other half quickly."

Looking at Ling Xiao crying, there was no other action, and several people became impatient. Thinking that I don't know which poor girl it is, I dare to go forward to grab it.

These boys are all close to the farmers' homes on the edge of Phoenix, and their nature is not very bad. They just went out to the market today and didn't make any money. They were afraid that they would be beaten again when they went home, so they dared to "t try their luck".

How could they think that they used to squibble that this was their territory, and the real jurisdiction was the little girl's father in front of them.

" Stop it! You big men are not ashamed to rob a little girl's things!" Just then, an angry shout came from behind him.

It is said to be "drinking angrily". In fact, he is just a little boy. He is very immature when he hears it. It's just that at this time, it's always good to have someone to help him.

Taking advantage of the other party's stunned kung fu, Ling Xiao grabbed the basket, grabbed the money bag and turned around and ran away. The little boy who said something to help him pull her behind him and comfort her. Don't be afraid. Ling Xiao nodded, wiped his tears, and barely smiled. Although this equally thin little brother may not be able to help herself, she is still very grateful.

"Who are you? Dare to fight against us!" At the sight of someone interfering, the little boys who did it suddenly panicked, but as soon as they saw that the self-righteous "hero" was just a child, the small body looked weaker than them. Suddenly, the panic turned into anger, and only a little boy with little meat wanted to mind his own business.

"No matter who I am, I don't allow you to bully this little sister. You don't think it's a shame. I still think you humiliate us men." Ling Xiao could obviously feel that the little brother in front of him was trembling slightly, but he refused to show weakness at all.

Ling Xiao quietly pulled the little boy's clothes and said timidly, "Little brother, you can't beat them, or I'll give them the money." Although she was very reluctant to give up, she couldn't bear to see her kind brother beaten.

The people opposite laughed proudly when they heard it, "It's your acquaintance. In this case, we won't teach this boy a lesson."

"Don't be afraid, sister. I will protect you. This is your hard-earned money. Why give it to them?" With that, he took another step forward. Ling Xiao looked at his stubborn little face. His skin was a little dark, but his eyebrows were a little delicate. He was dressed very shabby. At first glance, he looked like a child of a very poor family. She nodded silently, stopped talking, and obediently hid behind the boy.

As soon as they heard this, those provocative kids became even more furious, "Is it just you? It's hard for you to protect others. I think you can't even protect yourself. With that, he came forward and wanted to beat someone.

Needless to say, it was naturally one-sided - the little boy who saved people was beaten with blue nose and swollen eyes. After all, the plot of those heroes saving the beauty can only be seen in the play, and the reality is much crueler than those stories.

Ling Xiao's tears finally came out again. He was so scared that he leaned against the wall and begged them not to hit the little brother again.

Although they are all eight or nine-year-old children, the farmer's children have been doing rough work since childhood, and their strength is very strong. Several people saw that the "lesson" was almost done, so they stopped and learned from the appearance of those heroes in the Caotai team. After the fight, they patted the ashes on their bodies and said, "Look at you, you dare to mind your own business in the future!"

After the fight, it was natural to get results. Several people let go of the little boy who had fallen to the ground and walked towards Lingxiao.

"My father said that those who bully girls are all bastards." Hearing that the boy on the ground was still talking too much, someone turned around to make up for it, and his face wrinkled with pain.

Just as Ling Xiao's money bag was about to be robbed, he was in a trance, and the person in front of him fell to the ground with a scream. Ling Xiao stared at the boy rolling and screaming on the ground. He didn't know what had happened, and the others didn't come to their senses.

"It's really a shame for a group of men to bully a girl." A slightly childish but majestic voice sounded, with a strong contempt and disdain in his tone.

With the sound, everyone looked over there and saw a boy with gorgeous clothes and a cold face coming towards them.

Not to mention the boy's extraordinary temperament, the clothes he wears are the best brocade. Although poor children don't know the goods, they also know that ordinary children can't afford to wear.

"Why don't we go? This boy looks like a rich man. We can't afford to provoke him. In case he is a powerful man, not to mention us, even our family will be unlucky." Some timid people looked timid at first sight and retreated. Today, he offended the noble son for a few copper coins, but it was not worth it.

The boy led by

is obviously very unwilling. At this time, I'm afraid he is not only doing those copper coins, but also the "dignity" as a man.

"Is't he just having a few stinky money at home? If you have the ability, fight with me!" With that, he was about to step forward and take action, so that he was stopped by the people around him.

"Even if he is not a rich young master, we can't beat him." Someone picked up his companion who had suffered on the ground, and then looked at the young master, who was one head taller than them, and said timidly.

Although he was still unconvinced, his eyes were full of fear. Seeing that the rich young master's cold eyes swept over again, they quickly picked up the things on the ground and ran away. As they ran, they stared angrily, but they could only stare.

"Little brother, are you all right?" Seeing that several bullies had run away, Ling Xiao came forward to pick up the boy on the ground who had a blue nose and swollen eyes.

"I'm fine." The boy who just got up from the ground touched the broken forehead, scratched his teeth, smiled at Ling Xiaomian, and said to the little hero who saved them, "Thank you for saving us. My name is Li Ye. How about you?"

Who would have thought that their grateful people cast contemptuous eyes, as if they didn't pay attention to them at all.
