Chapter 12
When Su Xiaomu woke up the next day, there were two big dark circles under his eyes.

She is pretty as usual, and her eyes are round and dark, making people happy. As soon as she showed fatigue today, Yin asked worriedly: "But you didn't rest well last night? If you feel thin under the quilt at night, you can Find a mother to change the bed for you, it just so happens that my uncle is coming back, you can build it with him."

Yin took Su Xiaomu's hand and rubbed it, it was very warm?It doesn't look like it was frozen at night.

"It's okay, I just had a nightmare last night, thank you sister-in-law for your concern."

How dare Su Xiaomu let Yin Shi know that he couldn't sleep well because he was afraid of Gu Jingcheng's return?
The Gu family looked forward to his return home day and night, and put his study at the top of the list. She didn't dare to pour cold water on them.

She was yawning along the way, her big eyes were full of mist, and Yin's heart ached for Su Xiaomu more and more.

However, she also sighed in her heart that the daughter-in-law that Mrs. Li spent money to buy really did not lose money, not to mention her skills, but her delicate and soft appearance, which no girl in their village could match.

Even the daughter of the old Zhao's family, compared with the younger siblings, is a heaven and an earth.

Su Xiaomu naturally didn't know that her sister-in-law was thinking about her in her heart. She was not in a good condition today and her head was groggy, so she packed up her things and planned to leave as soon as the cakes were sold out.

But as soon as the basket was finished, and she hadn't stepped out, she heard a few shouts from not far ahead.

A few hooligans came out from nowhere, and quickly surrounded the stall in front.

The gangster in the lead pointed at the stall owner generously and said.

"Booth fee, ten cents!"

Oh my God!

Su Xiaomu secretly thought something was wrong, he didn't expect the order in this city to be so chaotic, there would be local hooligans who dared to take to the streets to cause trouble in broad daylight.

She couldn't afford to provoke her, and didn't dare to provoke her, so she quietly wanted to run away with the basket on her shoulders.

But the hooligan standing on the farthest side kept watching the movement nearby, and when he saw her running, he immediately called for people to chase her.

"This little bitch is going to run!"

He yelled, Su Xiaomu's legs almost went limp from fright, he gritted his teeth, and ran into the alley.

No one around dared to come up to help.

"This little girl looks tender, she looks soft and weak, she still has some strength to run!"

The little hooligan who had been chasing her closely smirked and whistled at Su Xiaomu.

The disgusting Su Xiaomu had goosebumps all over his body, and he didn't dare to run any slower.

Fortunately, she has come to this alley a lot and is familiar with it, so she is about to run out of it.

If you run another street, you will find the Yamen in front of you. These hooligans will definitely not dare to chase her again.

Su Xiaomu's eyes lit up,
"what!"

But before she had time to run out, the scoundrel who was chasing after her had already caught up with her, grabbed her arm and pulled it in violently.

Su Xiaomu bit her lip tightly, refusing to accept her fate, her head was running quickly, and she picked up the bricks on the ground.

"Oh!"

However, before she could shake the brick, the ruffian who was holding her froze, let go of the hand that was holding her arm, and fell straight to the ground.

And a thin silhouette came into view.

"why you!"

Su Xiaomu looked at Gu Jingcheng who was still holding a wooden stick in disbelief, and gasped: "You...you..."

She never thought that it was this scholar who was often uncomfortable with herself who saved her!
"Passing by."

Gu Jingcheng threw away the wooden stick in his hand, turned his wrist, and looked at Su Xiaomu calmly.

At this moment, the girl's face was full of astonishment, and she had a flustered and frightened expression, inexplicably reminiscent of a little rabbit.

He stood with his head bowed, frowning slightly on his handsome face. Although he had a bookish look, he looked more like a soldier at the moment, with a lean and powerful figure.

Even though Su Xiaomu had a lot of dissatisfaction with him before, but now that he saved his life, he no longer looks aggressive.

"Thank you for saving my life, my lord. I haven't asked my lord's name yet."

Su Xiaomu looked at him with sparkling eyes, but after he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he was a married woman, and the man in front of him didn't look like he was married. It was somewhat polite for the two of them to stand together. disagree.

So he took two steps back in embarrassment and said: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to thank you, young master."

"It's useless to know the name of people who meet by chance. As long as the boss knows more about his identity as a woman in the future and doesn't show his face outside, otherwise he may not have such good luck in the future, and can meet people like this one to save you. .”

After Gu Jingcheng finished speaking casually, he cupped his hands towards her.

It's not that he discriminates against a woman's identity, but since as a woman, it is more inconvenient to do things outside than a man's, and she is more likely to encounter danger than a man, so he should pay more attention to it.

Su Xiaomu got it wrong, but he was speechless.

She originally thought that the man in front of her was cold-faced and warm-hearted, but she was short-sighted and prepared to apologize for seeing the wrong man in the past.

But I didn't expect that a student studying in the academy would have such narrow-mindedness and look down on women, right?

Su Xiaomu, who was already full of anger, looked at Gu Jingcheng and said coldly: "The last time the young master and Mr. Zhou came to the little girl's stall to buy cakes, the little girl had already noticed that the young master's family is not considered rich. .”

"Since a student who wants to make a living by copying books can't afford food and clothing himself, and has to find time to make money after studying, then he naturally knows the suffering in this world, so how can he say that I shouldn't come out and show my face?"

"How can I be the same as you?"

Gu Jingcheng was dissatisfied, this female boss likes to use strong words so much.

"What's the difference? When I go out to sell things, I still run around for my family's livelihood, but the young master copies the books but only thinks about his own future. Since the young master said so, then I would like to ask the young master, have you ever sent the money after copying the books? When I got home, did I ever ask my parents how they were doing?"

While she was talking to the man in front of her, she thought of the original owner's husband whom she had never met, which made her feel sour: "Young master is a scholar, so I must know why you don't eat minced meat. Thank you for saving your life today, young master." Grace, the little girl is leaving first."

Gu Jingcheng frowned slightly, his long and narrow phoenix eyes were somewhat puzzled.

She seems aggrieved?But why feel wronged?
Inexplicably, Gu Jingcheng spoke again.

"Heh, the boss is going to thank you with one sentence for saving your life?"

"Otherwise, I still have to beat the gongs and drums and tell everyone in the street that the young master's feat is not successful? Or should I go to the academy to pull a list, write down the young master's kindness, and let the young master's academy have a name?"

Su Xiaomu was impatient and spoke harshly.
