Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 10
"Gu Po, where are you going?"

After breakfast, Zhao Min consciously washed the dishes, wiped his hands, and saw Gu Lingqing and Gu Po as if they were about to go out.

Seeing Gu Po's suspicious eyes, Zhao Min stuck out her tongue, remembering that Gu Po didn't let her ask more questions.

Unexpectedly, this time, Mrs. Gu patiently talked to Zhao Min.

"Today's market, those who are going to the market, buy all the ingredients for five days."

That's right, the five-day market here is an hour's walk from the village, so you have to go early.

Zhao Min found out that the Gu family didn't farm land, but only raised some livestock, and he didn't know what Gu Lingqing did when he left early and returned late every day.

"Gu Po, let me go too, I can carry your things for you!" Zhao Min volunteered.

Po Gu subconsciously forgot to take a look at Gu Lingqing, and nodded after seeing him nodding slightly.

With Gu Po's approval, Zhao Min cheered.

It had been an hour since the three of them came to the market, the sun above the head greeted Zhao Min scorchingly, and his mouth felt very dry.

Gu Lingqing observed that Zhao Min swallowed secretly, his lips were slightly dry, and walked towards the nearby teahouse.

"Boss, a pot of tea." Gu Po shouted.

"Come on! Guest officer."

Zhao Min drank a bowl of tea in one gulp and sighed, only then did he feel alive.

Looking at Gu Lingqing next to him, there was no clarity in his eyes, he was laughing foolishly, playing with the tea in the tea bowl with his hands.

While marveling at his acting skills, Zhao Min took the opportunity to pour another bowl and drank it down.

Wiping the water stains from the corners of her mouth with her cuffs, Mrs. Gu pulled up "Fool Qing" next to her, and the three of them walked to the depths of the market.

Just as Zhao Min took over the carrots she just bought from Mrs. Gu, she heard laughter behind her.

"Hey, isn't this the little lady of the Zhao family?" After speaking, she whistled hooliganically.

Zhao Min looked back, no wonder the voice sounded familiar, wasn't it Zhao Mazi who wanted to do something wrong to him that day!

Zhao Min didn't want to make trouble, so she pretended she didn't hear, and pulled Po Gu to leave.

How could Zhao Mazi let her go so easily?
With a brisk step, he rushed in front of them and blocked their way.

"Why are you in a hurry to leave? Don't you finish what you did that day with your brother?"

Zhao Mazi was talking hooligans, his eyes kept looking at Zhao Min's chest, and he even stuck out his tongue to lick the corner of his mouth, looking lewd.

"Good dogs don't get in the way, get out of the way." Zhao Min's voice was cold, obviously angry.

At this time, the people who came to the market around heard the movement and gradually gathered together.

Seeing more and more people, Zhao Mazi became more and more unscrupulous.

"I heard from Xiu'e that you followed a fool. I didn't expect it to be true!"

Zhao Mazi pointed at Gu Lingqing and laughed, Gu Lingqing looked cheerful, as if he didn't know that Zhao Mazi was talking about himself.

When Gu Po heard Zhao Mazi mocking Gu Lingqing, she took a step forward, and was about to teach him a lesson when she felt Gu Lingqing tug on her sleeve gently behind her.

Gu Po knew that this meant not to let herself act rashly, so she swallowed all the words that came to her lips.

"If you want me to tell you, what are you doing with this trash? If you don't follow my brother, my brother will love you very much!"

Zhao Mazi walked towards Zhao Min with a lewd smile, and stretched out his right hand to touch her face.

When his hand was about to touch Zhao Min's cheek, Zhao Min sneered, "You asked for it!"

Before Zhao Mazi realized what it meant, he had already fallen to the ground.

It was Zhao Min who punched him just now and knocked him to the ground.

Seeing Zhao Mazi lying on the ground covering his left face, Zhao Min stretched out two fingers like pistols, and blew on them.

Gu Lingqing observed Zhao Min silently, watching her make this movement, frowned slightly, wondering what it meant.

The people around watched Zhao Mazi being knocked to the ground and whispered.

Zhao Mazi was humiliated, got up from the ground, and was about to rush towards Zhao Min.

"You stinky bitch, don't be ashamed, see if I don't beat you to the ground, kneel down and beg for mercy!"

"Ah!" The timid woman quickly covered her eyes, not wanting to see the bloody scene of Zhao Min being beaten.

Although Zhao Min punched Zhao Mazi down just now, in their view, it was just a fluke. After all, Zhao Mazi was a man, and subconsciously, people still thought that Zhao Min was about to be beaten by Zhao Mazi.

"Grandma, I was wrong, I was wrong, stop hitting me!"

The expected begging for mercy came as expected, but... it seemed to be a man's voice?

The woman who covered her eyes just now took her hand away, and opened her mouth in surprise.

I saw Zhao Min straddling Zhao Mazi's body, greeting him with dense fists.At any rate, he had practiced martial arts, although it was only some self-defense skills, but it was more than enough to deal with a small hooligan like Zhao Mazi.

With such a pungent woman, the men around shook their heads, "Fortunately, my mother-in-law is not like this!"

"Yeah, tsk tsk, look at the man who was beaten by her, and he didn't even have the strength to fight back!"

Gu Lingqing was even more suspicious of Zhao Min when she listened to the discussions of the people around her.

Just now when Zhao Mazi rushed towards Zhao Min, he already had a stone in his hand, and he planned to greet Zhao Mazi's knee and ask him to kneel in front of Zhao Min.

Unexpectedly, before he could make a move, Zhao Min clenched his fists, crossed his legs and jumped up on the spot.

It was too late, but Gu Lingqing told her to attack Zhao Mazi before she understood what Zhao Min meant.

After a few blows, Zhao Mazi was beaten by Zhao Min and begged for mercy.

Zhao Min had had enough beating, got up, patted the dust off his body, and spat at Zhao Mazi, "Vegetable chicken!"

After finishing speaking, he kicked Zhao Mazi again incomprehensibly.

Zhao Mazi was terrified of being beaten, put his head in his hands, and kept begging for mercy.

"Grandma, grandma, I was wrong, don't hit me."

Gu Lingqing didn't know what she meant by the chicken in her mouth, and she had never heard of or seen the boxing technique she used against Zhao Mazi just now.

But Gu Lingqing was a martial arts practitioner after all, and he could tell at a glance that Zhao Min was going to greet Zhao Mazi at the most vulnerable part of his body.Although her strength is not enough, she is full of ingenuity, and her movements are quite weird, but one thing is certain is that she is a trainer.

Gu Po and Gu Lingqing glanced at each other, Gu Po understood, stepped forward and took Zhao Min's arm and left this place of right and wrong.

The spectators around also dispersed one after another, leaving only Zhao Mazi lying on the ground, and no one stepped forward to give him a hand.

"How decent is it for a girl to act like this in public? Don't be so reckless again."

On the way back to the village, Mrs. Gu taught Zhao Min a serious face.

Zhao Min retorted, "Gu Po, you didn't hear what he said, how can you bear it?"

"If you can't do it, go back to the Zhao family." Gu Po took out her trump card.

Zhao Min pursed her lips when she heard this, and said, "Understood, I won't be impulsive or reckless in the future."

Gu Lingqing was walking in front, and the two pulled him a long way. Zhao Min couldn't help sighing: "The legs are so long!"

At this moment, Gu Lingqing was full of worries, unaware that she had surpassed the two of them by a large margin.
