Light Keeper

Chapter 332 This Mission Is A Little Difficult 9
The six guards at the gate of the city leaned against the city wall in disgrace and chatted with each other.

There are not many people entering the city from here, probably because it is not a city gate for trucks to enter and exit, and there is not much oil and water involved. When a few people saw a poor person like Song Shuyun, their eyes were shining blue, and they stopped her. , To enter the city tax.

Song Shuyun pretended that she had never seen the world, and tremblingly took out a small rag bag from her arms.

Then Song Shuyun looked through the rags layer by layer. Seeing the guard's toothache, several people exchanged glances with each other. Although they were not surprised by this situation, they did not hesitate to despise it.

When Song Shuyun turned to the end, several guards saw the copper coins which were a little more than the city tax and cloth tax, and became even more irritated. They snatched the money away and let Song Shuyun pass with a wave of their hands.

Just as Song Shuyun was about to speak, she saw the ferocious eyes of a few people, she hurriedly froze down, and went into the city dejectedly carrying a basket on her back.

After passing through the city gate, Song Shuyun rolled her eyes. She had prepared the money, but she was afraid that these people would turn over her basket and snatch her meat.

The city is not as exaggerated as three steps, one pavilion, five steps and one post, but it is true that there are tax officials everywhere. When they see people they don’t know well, they keep staring.

Song Shuyun shivered from being stared at.

She wanted to go directly to the grocery store, but who knew that because Zhao Sanniang had not been to the county town for many years, the grocery store that Zhang Hu had taken her to had been closed.

She had no choice but to inquire with the passers-by nearby, and she didn't know whether these people were deliberately teasing her or there were really many grocery stores in this county, anyway, everyone pointed to different directions.

Song Shuyun was speechless.

I can only look at the nearby buildings while walking.

There are very few stores here with plaques, and everyone hangs flags, and the flags are not all written, and there are some strange patterns.

Song Shuyun could only rely on her own understanding to guess what these shops were doing.

I don't know how this county town was built. She walked into a small alley. There must be no grocery store here, so she could only turn around and prepare to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, she suddenly heard a female voice calling for help.

Song Shuyun turned around subconsciously, and Liu Guang was also surprised at this time.

At this moment, the female voice calling for help became more urgent, and Song Shuyun's pace also accelerated a little.

Liu Guang said at this time: "It seems that a tax official has captured a girl!"

Song Shuyun couldn't help but pause after hearing this. After confirming that no one was nearby, she directly took out a thick branch from the space.

Wanting to go forward, he stopped for a while, put away the basket, pulled out a loose dress, put it on, and covered his face.

She moved quickly, and the cries for help in the alley became more and more shrill.

Song Shuyun walked around the alley, and a man's laughter reached Song Shuyun's ears.

Accompanied by the cry of a little girl.

Song Shuyun didn't see the little girl's appearance clearly, but the man was indeed dressed in the clothes of a tax official.

Both of them fell to the ground, the little girl struggled continuously, and heard the sound of someone coming.

The man yelled back.

"Get out! If you ruin my good deeds, I will kill you!"

The little girl took advantage of this gap to slap the man on the face, screaming and kicking her legs to back away.

The man didn't wear a hat, so he fell to the ground with this slap.

He wasn't looking at Song Shuyun, but turned around and slapped the little girl on the face.

"Stinky bitch, how dare you hit me!"

The little girl's face turned away from the slap, and her fair face became visibly red and swollen.

Song Shuyun was already in front of the two of them at this time, without any hesitation, she hit the man on the back of the head with the stick in her hand.

This time, she kept her hand. After all, the death of a tax official in the city is a big deal, and it would be bad if it involved herself!
The man groaned when Song Shuyun beat him, and turned around dizzy to look over.

The moment he turned his head, Song Shuyun approached, raised his knife and struck the back of his neck.

The man rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

The little girl under him was pale with tears still on her face.

The little girl is not very old, and her face has not yet opened. People here are precocious. Song Shuyun speculates that the child is only about 13 years old.

She is not very good-looking, and ignoring the redness and swelling on her face, it can be seen that her original appearance is just delicate.

However, she braided her long hair that should have been let loose into a big braid. Although she was wearing gray cloth, she also used floral cloth to connect her sleeves and trousers, which looked a bit cute.

Song Shuyun stepped forward, kicked the tax official away, and stretched out her hand to pull the little girl up.

The little girl was still a little scared.

Song Shuyun lowered her voice and asked, "Are you okay?"

The little girl flinched, but she felt relieved when she heard that Song Shuyun was a woman.

Her fingers were slender and fair, with some thin calluses, placed in Song Shuyun's chapped hands, they looked very pretty in contrast.

Song Shuyun pulled her up, picked up some scattered things on the ground and handed them to the little girl.

Seeing that she hadn't recovered from her panic, Song Shuyun patted her shoulder lightly.

"Which direction is your home? Can I give you a ride?"

The little girl got better now, swallowed her saliva and said: "Thank you, thank you, sister-in-law. I really appreciate what happened today. The little girl lives very close, on Dongfu Street, two streets away from here. There are A stone bridge. The little girl’s surname is Chen, and her nickname is Yueyao. My father is a boy, so you’ll know when you get there. If you have anything to use in the future, the little girl will definitely not shirk..."

Song Shuyun's saving her was just a temporary idea, and she didn't think about the future.

"Okay! Then I'll take you back!"

The little girl looked at the man on the ground with some fear and said, "This man is the tax collector on West Sixth Street. It will be bad for you to provoke him. I'd better go back by myself!"

When she said this, Song Shuyun's heart sank.

"You know him?"

The little girl nodded.

"He lives not far from my home, and we all know each other!"

Song Shuyun's covered face was a little solemn.

"Miss Chen, let me put it bluntly. Today, this person's behavior failed, and he must be even more unwilling. He will retaliate in the future. I advise you to move out as soon as possible!"

The little girl didn't expect Song Shuyun to say such words, as if she had thought of something, her face turned pale.

She bowed deeply to Song Shuyun.

"Thank you benefactor for reminding me, my little girl will go back to clean up now, I don't know if benefactor can leave her name, until later..."

Song Shuyun waved her hand.

"You don't have to. I saved you just on a temporary basis. It's better than any thanks for you to be good!"

The little girl hesitated for a moment, and wanted to say something else.
