"Brother Li, wait a minute to close the door. I'm not here to see you this time."
.....
There are only two people in the room. If they are not looking for Li Xingwen, then it can only be the girl.
"Looking for sugar?"
"Haha, Miss Tangtang is famous in this county for her skillful hands. I was thinking of asking you to customize a pair of embroidered shoes for me."
Tsk tsk tsk, what did I say, what did I say?
Li Xingwen winked at the little girl, who pouted and said, "Who are you ordering embroidered shoes for? If it's some beautiful girl you just met, Tangtang will chase her away."
Huh?
"It's not the beautiful woman I just met, but the second young lady of the Shen family. The Xu family and the Shen family have been friends for generations, and I came here to get engaged to the second young lady."
Huh! ! !
"Brother Xu, you are so young, why are you engaged? It's too restrictive for you. Have fun for two more years."
"Play for two more years" is the catchphrase of some of Li Xingwen's classmates. When he said this, he thought Xu Lang would agree.
But don't want to...
"Brother Li, what you said is wrong. It's not good for a person to be too free. It's easy to get into trouble. I used to be a prodigal son, but now I have turned around. From now on, I just want to live a peaceful life."
Having said that, Tangtang had no reason to refuse.
After asking about the size, she asked Xu Lang to come back and pick up the shoes in half a month.
"Miss, can you please hurry up? I have prepared all the betrothal gifts. The embroidered shoes were only added at the last minute."
Xu Lang offered a few gold ingots with both hands and begged, "No need to start from scratch. I'll make a semi-finished product and you can just embroider the upper."
......
Due to the unpleasant experience during his first visit, Xu Lang would never have come to the door this time if Miss Shen had not posed a difficult question and wanted to see the embroidered shoes made by Miss Tangtang within three days.
Fortunately, everything went well.
"Although it was a lucky move, since the embroidered shoes have been made, Uncle Shen will definitely not allow her to mess around."
After the man counted the betrothal gifts one by one, he couldn't help but smile bitterly while lying on the bed.
The Xu and Shen families are old friends, and the engagement is something the two families have been discussing for a long time.
Even so, Miss Shen Er had to temporarily create a difficult problem for herself.
"I, Xu Lang, am really notorious."
In the bright light in the room, Xu Lang gradually found it difficult to lift his eyelids.
While half asleep and half awake, many beautiful faces appeared in his mind.
The beauty's face is very blurry and I can't remember any details.
Haha, after all, it's just a casual affair, it's totally normal.
But only, only the face that appeared at the end was very clear!
Although the face that appeared this time was not covered in blood, Xu Lang still frowned subconsciously.
The reason why it is clear is not because of how much he loves this person.
But this person is really pitiful and hateful!
In order to get the huge ransom money, she first fabricated a pitiful life story to gain sympathy, then threatened to hang herself at the door of Xu's house, and finally lied that she was pregnant and pretended to jump off the building.
That building is really tall, how dare you do that?
If one loses balance, the fake will immediately become real.
Group 6 0 2 'The case was already decided, he fell from the building; I can't do anything to Boss Zhang, but I've scolded him for you.'
"I really have nothing to say to you, so please don't come to scare me in my dreams again."
I want, I want to live a peaceful life.
Snoring sounds were heard. It was a rare night before the engagement when Xu Lang had a good sleep.
Chapter 007 Unexpected disaster
"Tangtang thinks that we should cook something for ourselves every day."
The prepared food bought on the street is delicious, but if conditions permit, the little girl prefers to cook for herself.
“It takes too much time”
After a pause, Li Xingwen spread his hands and said, "Besides, I can't cook either. Can you?"
Eh――
Tangtang was shocked and blurted out: "Impossible, you are an adult, how can you not cook?"
"A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. Hi, actually my parents never let me cook because they were afraid that it would affect my studies. But my sister is a good cook."
Li Xingwen said it frankly, with no embarrassment at all.
"Tangtang, don't ask for too much. Three meals a day, not only do we have pickled vegetables and steamed bread, but we also have meat. I never dared to imagine such a life before!"
The little girl scratched her head and was about to say something when suddenly there was a bang and several constables kicked the door open.
"Who is Tangtang?" The leading constable glanced at the little girl and asked.
"I, I'm Tangtang."
“Come with us.”
Seeing the men coming aggressively, Li Xingwen slammed the table, stood up and said, "In broad daylight, you break into a private house and arrest people without any reason? Is there any law?"
The scholar is very confident. He is not bluffing but really is not afraid.
Why did he have to rent a small shabby house in the county town when his family was poor and he didn't have much time to go to the academy?
Answer: In order to facilitate communication with classmates in the county every now and then, so as not to work in isolation.
In other words, Li Xingwen has his own small circle, and this small circle has some power, and can even get support from the academy at critical moments.
In this case, a few officers really couldn't scare him!
"A wealthy family in this county accused this little girl of using evil magic to harm others, and the county magistrate personally ordered her arrest."
The leading constable glanced at Li Xingwen and said calmly, "Li Xiucai, don't make the mistake."
.....
When Li Xingwen heard the word "evil magic", his heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but look at Tangtang.
"Tangtang didn't hurt anyone. Tangtang doesn't know any evil tricks."
Although Xiaobai is currently concentrating all her efforts on suppressing the Green Dragon and has no hands free, the little girl herself is an immortal and she is not afraid at all with the wooden fish stick in her hand.
"Someone must have wronged Tangtang. Tangtang needs to have a good argument with him!"
The little girl spoke righteously and with greater force than the scholar.
Li Xingwen still looked solemn when he saw this, but he decisively clasped his fists towards the detectives and said, "There must be something fishy about this matter. I am willing to go with you to the county government office to confront that wealthy family in court."
The detectives looked at each other, and without using force towards the little girl, they waved and asked her to follow.
Arriving in front of the county government office, Tangtang looked inside and inexplicably felt awe in her heart.
It was very strange, the girl had been to the Golden Tent on the steppes and to the palaces of several great powers, but she had never felt anything like this.
"Don't say too much later, and don't say anything nonsense. I will handle everything." Li Xingwen lowered his voice and warned.
"kindness"
Tangtang unconsciously became nervous. She slowly walked into the county government office, and suddenly a strange scene flashed before her eyes.
On the vast earth, countless thick and thin lines are woven into a huge net.
In the center of the giant net is a city, and it is unclear whether this city is the source or the end point of countless thin lines.
But one thing is certain, this city is a vital place, the core of world power.
The little girl blinked her eyes, and the giant net disappeared. Only countless fortunes from the earth rose up and gathered into the shape of a magical animal.
.....
At first glance, the magical animal looks a bit like a deer, but it is covered with scales.
Looking closely, it has a tail like a cow, hooves like a horse, a round head, and a pair of horns.
The little girl was marveling at the scene when her perspective was suddenly zoomed in.
In the mountain stream, a living magical animal is communicating with an old turtle.
When they were talking happily, the magical animal let out a roar like thunder. Tangtang's mind suddenly went blank and she fell to the ground dizzy.
Just at this moment, the officers struck their mighty sticks and slowly shouted the word "mighty" in a low voice.
"Who is here?" the county magistrate slammed the gavel and asked loudly.
Before entering the county government office, Li Xingwen had already made an agreement with Tangtang that he would take care of everything.
And the little girl is in a bad condition now and really can't speak.
"Your Excellency, I am Li Xingwen, a scholar, and this is my distant cousin, Tangtang."
Li Xingwen was under tremendous pressure when he said the words "distant cousin".
This identity cover alone is enough to justify the roast duck, roast chicken and pig's trotters that the little girl has had these days.
The county magistrate nodded slightly. He glanced at the little girl who was wiping away tears because her eyes were sore and painful, and said in a slow voice, "Everyone, stand up and talk."
Hearing this, Li Xingwen quickly helped the little girl up.
"Cousin, the county magistrate has always enforced the law impartially and is loved by the people of the county. Don't be afraid."
"Well"
Tangtang forced herself to open her sore eyes and nodded at the scholar.
Then her expression tensed and she turned to stare at the girl who was possessed by the creature.
Normally, when you encounter this kind of upgraded monster, you just have to take out a wooden fish stick and hit it.
But Tangtang's magic power is inexplicably exhausted now, and she is suppressed by an invisible force. If this monster suddenly attacks, it will be troublesome.
"..."
Wait, this monster seems to be in a worse condition than mine?
.....
In the county government office, the little girl stared at the possessed girl for a moment and couldn't help but become distracted.
She thought, the reason why the monster's condition was worse was perhaps because it was also suppressed by the invisible force?
But, what exactly is this unprecedented powerful force?
Recalling the several strange scenes she had seen before, Tangtang seriously suspected that it was the [net] covering the earth.
'Why was Tangtang suddenly suppressed by the Internet? Is it because this is the county government?'
There doesn't seem to be any other explanation, but if that's the case...
'The threads are woven into a network, and this county government office is one of the threads?'
Tangtang was thinking to herself when a middle-aged man suddenly stood in front of her.
"You monster, in court, you, you, you, what else do you want to do to my daughter?"
After the little girl came to her senses, she suddenly felt very wronged.
But she still remembered Li Xingwen's instructions, so she turned her head and looked at the scholar eagerly.
"My cousin is concerned about this young lady's situation. What's wrong with taking a few more glances?"
Li Xingwen sneered: "Do you think my cousin can hurt people with her eyes?"
After a few words between the two, Tangtang finally realized that the vicious man was the head of the Shen family, and the girl possessed by the strange creature was his second daughter.
"Quiet in the hall!"
The county magistrate slammed the gavel and asked the little girl, "Tangtang, did you make the embroidered shoes for the second young lady of the Shen family?"
