Chapter 266 Revenge is coming
Lao Tang smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry about this. We little beggars don't have any other skills, but we do have some skills in hiding things, otherwise we would have starved to death long ago."
Zhou Guo nodded, it seemed that he had experienced this kind of thing many times.
A group of people invited the two to stay for dinner and have a big meal of meat tonight.
The two shook their heads. Since they didn't find anyone in the city, they would go somewhere else. Zhou Dacang said, "No, we are leaving soon. We don't know when we will meet next time. You must take good care of yourselves."
When they heard that the two were leaving, everyone looked reluctant.
Lao Tang said anxiously, "It's not urgent anymore. Let's eat first. We are acquainted. You bought all these things. We have to sit down and eat together. It's hard to say whether we can meet again in the future."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Really, it's not necessary. I bought these for you to get through the winter. We have big appetites, and the two of us can eat your meals for a few days. It's better not to eat them. Just take good care of them."
As she spoke, she took out a purse from the bag in front of her. This was the one she had snatched from the thief. All the money she had spent in the past few days came from it. She poured out all the remaining change, counted it, and there was probably about seven or eight taels left.
He gave them all to Lao Tang, "I leave these for you. Winter is coming. Take them to buy some quilts and clothes. You will have food, shelter, and covers. I hope you can have a warm winter."
If she helped these unattended little beggars more, would her brother outside also be taken care of more?
Lao Tang looked at the little hands in front of him filled with small change, his nose felt sore and he started to cry again. He choked and wanted to refuse, but he couldn't say no because he knew how much they needed the money. With this, no one would suddenly lose their brothers or sisters this year or next year.
Zhou Dacang said in a gentle tone: "Take it. You don't need it, but your brothers and sisters behind you also need it. This money is not for you alone, they also have a share. Take it."
The money stolen from the thief was put to good use and it also served as a good deed for those who lost the money.
Zhou Guo nodded, "These are for my brothers and sisters. We have known each other for a long time, and it has not been easy for you. This is all I can do to help you. The rest depends on you."
Lao Tang finally took it with trembling hands. Normally, he did a lot of cheating and stealing to survive and to support his younger brothers and sisters. But this time when he met Zhou Guo and the other man, he didn't know if it was because they were about the same age, but he felt that they got along well. He didn't plan to cheat them. He just wanted to work honestly and let his younger brothers and sisters have a good meal.
Since they couldn't find the people behind them, they decided to just have a meal and not eat meat. But the two men bought them so many things, including meat and food, and gave them so much money.
These little beggars with no one to protect them were often looked down upon, beaten and scolded wherever they went. This was the first time they felt the care from others. This feeling made them unable to hold back their tears. "Thank you very much."
Zhou Dacang smiled and said, "Okay, just live a good life with your brothers and sisters. We will go back to the inn to get our things and leave the city. Take care of yourselves."
Zhou Guo waved to everyone and walked away, looking back every step of the way.
Lao Tang, who was standing behind him, bowed deeply with his younger brothers and sisters. He was the one who gave them life.
The two men walked out of the courtyard and headed straight for the inn. They didn't speak a word along the way. They were both worried. It was such a big piece of land, and it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find someone on it.
All the things had been bought, so I went back to the room to get my things, checked out, led the horse, and headed towards the city gate.
"Well, I finally caught you. It's not that easy to run away after stealing my things. Return my things to me. Also, leave these two horses to me and kneel down to kowtow to me, your grandfather. Otherwise, I will make sure you don't leave the city alive today."
The two men looked up and saw that the way ahead was blocked. As they spoke, they were surrounded.
Zhou Guo took a quick look and saw that there were about a dozen people, all of them men, including several burly men.
Looking at the person who was talking, they were stunned. Isn't this the thief whose money was robbed by them that day? Why did he call someone to show up at their doorstep?
"What? You don't want to talk anymore? Are you scared? If you are, then do as I say. Otherwise, if you delay any longer, I won't agree even if you kneel down and beg me." The thief clasped his hands, raised his chin high, and looked at the two of them smugly with his nose in the air.
Zhou Guo looked him up and down with great contempt and said with a smile: "There is really no law. Someone is blatantly robbing in broad daylight. You don't take our prefect seriously."
The man on the other side laughed, "How could it be robbery? Who saw it? I was just cleaning up the two petty thieves who stole my things, you stinky beggars. It's good enough that I didn't take you to the authorities. But you actually accused me of robbery. You're full of nonsense. You should be taken to the authorities."
Zhou Dacang said: "Why waste my time talking to him, what a shameless bastard. It would be a waste of my time to say one more word to him."
The other party was so angry that he laughed, "Okay, okay, you are shameless, huh? I'll let you have a taste of my power, and you must not regret it when the time comes..."
Zhou Guo was too lazy to listen to his babble, "You're so noisy!"
He took a deep breath and went up, throwing a punch.
"Ah! Help! Hit me! Come on!" The other party was so scared that he ran away with his head in his hands. He had seen how powerful Zhou Guo was.
Zhou Dacang was not willing to fall behind. They didn't have the time to waste here, so they decided to fight quickly and decisively.
The fight broke out in the blink of an eye. The people around were so scared that they ran away, and the fighting area became even larger.
When the little beggar in the crowd saw this, he ran away secretly.
After a while, the chaos ended.
More than a dozen men went from standing to lying down. The thief saw that something was wrong and slipped away without knowing when.
Zhou Guo looked around and found him at the foot of the wall. He smiled, walked up to him, lifted his collar and asked, "Hey, where are you going?"
The thief wanted to cry, and said with a sad face: "I, I, I, I, I'm not going anywhere, just to relieve myself."
Zhou Guo raised his eyebrows, "Oh, that's convenient. It's okay. I'll let you go, but you have to return my things to me."
The other party immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Uncle, uncle, I was talking nonsense. You didn't take my things. I was blinded by greed and bewitched. I didn't even recognize you. Please let me go. I have an 80-year-old mother who is waiting for me to return."
Seeing him crying, Zhou Guo said in disgust, "How ugly!!"
"Burp." The other person was stunned, and then he really started crying, and he cried so sadly.
