Portable Space: Reborn Little Couple

Chapter 244 Sheng Mien, Dou Mi Chou

Looking at the angry crowd in front of him, Tang Yanxiu was angry and helpless.

He has truly experienced what it means to be kind to each other.

It turned out that the reason why Tang Yanxiu chose to stay here was firstly because the valet fell ill, and secondly because he was worried about the boatmen on the ship.

That boat did not belong to the Duan family. After all, Tang Yanxiu was running away from the Duan family at that time, so naturally she would not be so stupid as to send herself home.

However, he thought that the average boatman would not bring too much silver, but no matter whether it was towing the boat to the pier, repairing it later, or eating, drinking, housing and transportation during this period, it would cost money .If Tang Yanxiu left, these boatmen might suffer.

Because of this, Tang Yanxiu showed kindness, not only helping to place the boatmen in the inn, but also giving money for food and drink.That's not counting, a few days ago, I even paid for someone to pull the ship that hit the rocks to the dock for repairs as soon as possible.

Although Tang Yanxiu never said that he didn't have to return the money, he really didn't care about the money.

Maybe it was because of his usual kind attitude, maybe because he was young and looked weak and easy to bully, which made the boatmen think that he was a fool who would take full responsibility for this incident.

After dawn, when Tang Yanxiu said that he was going to leave with his valet, the boatmen rioted.

"How can you leave? If you leave, what will happen in the future?"

"Yeah, who knows when the boat will be towed up, and there will be money to repair it?"

"And what should we do if we eat and drink in the future? If there is no money, the innkeeper will not let us stay!"

"That's right, that's it!"

"You can't go! You are responsible!"

Tang Yanxiu looked at these extremely agitated boatmen with a blank face, and let them yell, but she didn't say a word.

After a while, maybe it was because they had yelled enough, or Tang Yanxiu's indifferent expression made them a little bit at a loss, and slowly, the boatmen became quiet.

Tang Yanxiu didn't speak until there was no one to speak, and said slowly, "It's over? Enough trouble? If anyone is not enough, or we can follow the example of the shopkeeper and go to the official office to chat with the official?"

The boatmen looked at each other, as if they didn't know how to interface.

After a while, finally a small boatman took a step forward and shouted at Tang Yanxiu in a very bad tone: "Even if we go to the official, let's say that, you should be responsible for dragging the boat from the water to the shore. And the money to repair the ship, what we eat and drink these days, it's a lot of money!"

"So, as you know, it's a lot of money."

"You...what do you mean?"

"I paid you to hire your boat, and you are obliged to safely send me to the destination, Ningxian Wharf in Wanhua County. Then, tell me, where are we now?"

"Isn't this nonsense? The boat is broken, how can we go?"

"Is it my fault that the boat broke down?" Tang Yanxiu raised her eyebrows, and looked straight at the little head of the boatman, "I paid you to take me to Wanhua County. No matter what happens in the middle, I will be with you I have nothing to do, as long as you don't send me to the destination, I have the right not to pay the boat fare. Of course, I have already paid the deposit in Luyang County, what about the remaining money? Let me calculate, what are you eating and drinking these days? Zhuxing, I bought a set of inner and outer clothes for each of you earlier, and paid for the people on the pier to help tow the boat ashore. The sum of these moneys can match the cost of all the boats for this trip. "

"So what?"

Seeing that Tang Yanxiu's words were reasonable and well-founded, the boatmen were a little panicked, but the little head was quite calm, but when he spoke again, the volume was not as loud as before.

"How? It means that you have to give me money."

"Dreaming! Where did we get the money?"

At this moment, even the little head started to panic.However, he did not lie, he did not have money.A big ship like theirs has enough food when it sails, and even when it docks, it only needs to add some fresh water.These days, even the cleanest well water is worthless.You can get a lot of water by spending a dozen big iron coins.There are even some places where it doesn't cost money to dig well water.

Hearing what the little head said, the other boatmen also shouted, all rushing to say that they have no money.

But so what?
Tang Yanxiu waited for them to calm down before slowly speaking: "Whether you have money or not has nothing to do with me. Don't worry, I must ask your boss for the money, including my loss."

"What, what?"

The boatmen obviously didn't expect Tang Yanxiu to say that, they were all stunned on the spot, and even the little boss was speechless in fright.

"My loss. Huh, I paid a lot of money to hire this boat, and the result? Because of your negligence, the boat hit the rocks, and I fell into the water from the boat, and my servant fell ill because of it. You guys Do you think I will just forget about it? Dreaming! When I return to Luyang County, your master will naturally have to pay the price."

With a sneer, seeing that the boatmen were too frightened to speak, Tang Yanxiu said again: "As for your food and drink in the future...it's none of my business!"

Before the boatmen came back to their senses, Tang Yanxiu strode down the stairs.

In the lobby, his servants seemed to be in much better condition than yesterday, and they were talking to several nursing homes of the Tang family at the moment.

Seeing Tang Yanxiu coming down, the boy said goodbye to the people beside him, and hurriedly walked towards Tang Yanxiu.

"Master, are you okay? I just heard noise upstairs. I wanted to go up and have a look, but those people were talking to me, so I..."

"I'm fine." Tang Yanxiu interrupted the boy's words, and scanned the lobby. When he didn't see the shopkeeper, he called a waiter from the inn and told him, "I'm leaving here, and I will pay the rest of the rent to you." Give it back to me."

The waiter in the inn heard this, and said pitifully: "Why is the guest leaving? Didn't he say he wanted to stay for a rest? But because someone was talking nonsense?"

"No. It was I who fell out with those boatmen. That's all right, stop talking nonsense, hurry up."

Seeing this, the waiter at the inn couldn't say anything more, and turned around to find someone who could make the decision.

Tang Yanxiu paid ten taels of silver earlier, but now it has only been two days, so naturally it has not been used up.It's just that when I paid the money, it was five brand new twenty-two small silver ingots, but now what I got back was a handful of dirty broken silver and a pile of copper coins and iron coins.

Glancing in disgust, Tang Yanxiu ordered the servant to put away the money.

In fact, if those boatmen hadn't annoyed him first, he wouldn't have done such a trick.In fact, yesterday he was thinking about paying another sum of money before leaving today, so that the boatmen would have a place to rest and a hot meal.

But now...

snort!
"Wait, wait a minute!"

As soon as he left the inn, Tang Yanxiu was stopped by someone who came up from behind.At first glance, it was the little boss just now.

"Why, you still want to block the road and rob?"

"not like this."

Seeing Tang Yanxiu's icy expression, for some reason, the little head suddenly felt a little limp in his legs, and the courage he had worked up with great difficulty disappeared instantly without a trace.

"In that case, get out of the way."

Not wanting to talk nonsense with that person, Tang Yanxiu spoke coldly.

"Young master, listen to me. We don't want to extort your money, but we really don't have any money on hand. This place is unfamiliar, and we don't know when the ship will be repaired, and Luyang County is far away from here. It's so far away. I really can't live this, this, this day!"

"What does that have to do with me?"

Don't look at Tang Yanxiu, who is usually very talkative, but once he is offended, he will be more open and shameless than Mo Qianrui.

If it was really his fault, then no matter how angry he was, he would be determined to bear the responsibility that should be borne.

It's a pity that no matter what life it's in, it's not his fault.

"That's not what you said. What if the young master doesn't care about us and we starve to death?"

"Cold salad!"

Tang Yanxiu rolled her eyes and squeezed out such a sentence through her teeth, but she didn't want to get involved in this matter even more.

Are you kidding me, a group of strong young men are actually worried that they will starve to death?Whether it is doing coolies or finding other jobs, even if you are a beggar, you will definitely not starve to death.

Taking a step back, even if they really starved to death, what did it matter to him?

"Why are you so cold-blooded?"

Perhaps because he knew that Tang Yanxiu couldn't get any money, the little boss was so angry and anxious that he couldn't help but want to reach out and push Tang Yanxiu.

Tang Yanxiu quickly moved aside, with an increasingly cold expression on his face: "Want to do it? I advise you to think clearly before doing it. The head of the Duan family in Luyang County is my grandfather. Are you planning to stay in Luyang?" The county has gone down?"

"Everyone is going to die, I don't care who you are?"

Hearing what Tang Yanxiu said at first, there was a trace of hesitation on the little head's face, but after a while, he changed into a ruthless look.

At this moment, Tang Yanxiu also heard the sound of chaotic footsteps coming from behind her, and immediately frowned, screaming inwardly that something was wrong.

"Brothers, stop people, or we will all starve to death!"

Seeing someone blocking the front, followed by pursuers, Tang Yanxiu turned his head slightly, and quickly whispered a word in the servant's ear.Then, before the boy could react, he rushed to the side with a stride.

As long as he fled to a place where no one was around, he could hide in the space, and these people would naturally not be a problem.

As for the boy, I think the target of these people should be him. After those people chased him away, it would not be difficult for the boy to escape.

He was planning in this way, but Tang Yanxiu never imagined that as soon as he ran to the corner, he saw a large group of people coming not far away, and the first ones were his uncle and aunt's family, as well as the angry The innkeeper.

For a moment, Tang Yanxiu really thought that he was overwhelmed by bad luck, but now that he had no way out, he simply gritted his teeth, and the speed of his feet became faster and faster, almost at the speed of sprinting [-] meters, and rushed to his uncle in one breath .
