Hidden in the court

Chapter 117 K Pure Stupidity

At this time, Nangong Xiao still wanted to hold on, but was glared back by Hu Die.

"Shut up!"

Hu Die felt that she was totally wrong. She shouldn't have trusted this fool in the beginning. His will was firm, but his small body would never support him to do so.

After rushing and hurrying, we finally entered the city before the gate closed.

Soon after entering the city, you can see all kinds of snack stalls on both sides of the street. There are steamed buns and steamed bread in steaming steamers, exuding the tempting wheat aroma and delicious meat fillings; there are also bosses next door making pancakes with skillful techniques, and the golden crust is sprinkled with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and the aroma is everywhere.

Nangong Lin also swallowed at this moment, his stomach growling a little.

"Uncle, give me two buns and two pancakes."

"Okay, wait a minute."

Hu Die quickly took the buns and pancakes and handed them to Nangong Xiao.

"Eat, I'll go find an inn first."

"Um……"

Nangong Xiao didn't have time to think about anything else. He took the food, nodded, and started eating.

Hu Die looked around, found an inn and walked in.

"Boss, I need two rooms to take good care of the horses."

The shopkeeper agreed promptly, handed over the sign, and asked the waiter to lead the horse to the back.

Just as he was about to turn around to look for Nangong Lin, he saw him being harassed by a little beggar who was about ten years old.

"Master, give me something to eat."

Nangong Xiao saw that he was thin and small, wearing old, tattered, stained clothes, the colors had faded, and his hair looked messy. His face was dirty, but his eyes were still unusually bright.

He... softened his heart again...

He handed him the remaining half of the cake and said, "Eat it."

The child's eyes were filled with tears. He knelt on the ground with a plop, holding Nangong Xiao's thigh and started crying.

"Hurry up, get up! What are you doing? You really don't have to do this!"

The child didn't say anything, he just hugged his waist and kept crying.

After Nangong Xiao persuaded the child for a long time, the child finally stopped crying and was helped up by him.

"I can't help you with anything, just eat."

The child shook his head and said, "I want to keep it for my sister." Then he turned around and wanted to leave.

Nangong Xiao was still sighing when one of the child's hands was suddenly grabbed by Hu Die.

"take it out!"

"Big brother, what are you talking about?" The child was still pretending to be stupid.

"His purse, give it to me!"

Hu Die obviously lost her patience and shouted angrily.

This sound attracted the attention of others present, and they all looked over.

The child immediately sat down on the ground, grabbed Hu Die's arm and shouted, "Help! Adults are bullying children!"

Nangong Xiao, who hadn't figured out the situation yet, came over and asked Hu Die, "What are you doing?"

Hu Die was really annoyed. She had never seen anyone so stupid. She didn't explain, but glared at Nangong Xiao fiercely, making him afraid to speak.

"He stole your money, you should check your pockets. You didn't even know a kid stole your money!"

As he said that, he took out a purse from the child and threw it to Nangong Xiao.

Seeing this, everyone gave up the idea of ​​going forward to cause trouble.

Hu Die looked at the ungrateful Nangong Xiao with anger on her face. She grabbed the child's arm with one hand and lifted him up effortlessly.

Nangong Xiao on the side was confused by this scene. He had no idea what Hu Die was going to do and tried to persuade her in a gentle voice.

"Don't get angry, the money isn't lost. Besides, maybe he has some unspeakable secrets, right?"

Nangong Xiao hurried forward to dissuade Hu Die, trying to calm her anger. He thought that since the money was not lost, Hu Die should not be so angry. In addition, he also wanted to understand the situation and see if the child had any unspeakable reasons for stealing.

Hu Die was even more furious when she heard this. She glared at Nangong Xiao and said with a hint of anger: "The money wasn't lost because I found it! If it weren't for me, I'm afraid we would have lost all the money for the journey."

The more she spoke, the angrier she became. Hu Die couldn't stand it anymore, so she raised her leg and kicked Nangong Xiao hard in the butt, signaling him to stop talking.

Then, Hu Die reached out and pulled open the child's arms and trouser legs, revealing his plump white wrists and chubby calves.

"Open your eyes and look carefully. Apart from the dust on his face and his torn clothes, how does he look like a beggar? Poor families can't afford to support a fat boy like this!" Hu Die pointed at the child and shouted at Nangong Xiao.

Nangong Xiao's eyes widened, and he also noticed that the child had fair skin, and he didn't look like a beggar. Moreover, judging from his body shape, he didn't seem to have a difficult life and was quite wealthy.

“This…” Nangong Xiao couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. He realized that his previous judgment was wrong and he was a little ungrateful. This child was not a real beggar, but a cunning thief.

Of course, this cunningness is only in his opinion. In the eyes of others, it is much more clumsy. A little beggar jumps out from the road, hugs your thighs and starts crying, and then runs away after crying. How can such a thing be okay?

Hu Die angrily threw the child to the ground and then shouted, "Get out!" The child was so scared that he trembled all over. He quickly got up and ran away without looking back.

Hu Die looked at the child's back as he walked away, feeling helpless. She turned to look at Nangong Xiao, only to see him still standing there in a daze, so she shouted impatiently, "Why are you standing there? Go to the inn."

Nangong Xiao came back to his senses and felt his face getting hot. He realized that his good intentions had led to bad results. Not only did he almost lose money, but he also made Hu Die angry. He felt ashamed and could only follow Hu Die to the inn silently. He secretly made up his mind to be vigilant and apologize to her later.

"Waiter, bring some food to the room."

Hu Die gave such instructions and the waiter nodded.

The innkeeper also watched the excitement for a while, and seeing this, he also wanted to help the two people resolve the conflict, so he smiled and said: "Young master, you are too kind-hearted. You should be more careful when you go out, and you must be on guard against others. Fortunately, your brother discovered it in time, so listen to him more next time!"

Don't be angry, your brother has good intentions but ends up doing bad things. Young people lack experience, so he just needs more experience..."

brother?

Nangong Xiao was a little confused. Actually, this was not unreasonable. To ordinary people, both brothers were handsome, but compared to Hu Die, Nangong Xiao looked younger.

Hu Die had no expression on her face, and the two of them went upstairs.

Nangong Xiao followed all the way to the door and said, "That's your room." Hu Die pointed to the room next door.
