Chapter 271: The Same Kind of   People Village Chief Cheng had a headache after hearing this. Why did the Wang family offend Xie Cheng, the King of Hell, when they could have offended anyone else?   After thinking it over, he finally decided to send Wang Xiaodong and his brother to the government office.   Li and Wang Dahai tried their best to stop them, but it was useless. The two brothers were finally carried to the carriage by Kong Yue and the village chief.   Lu and Li wanted to beat Tang, but were severely taught a lesson by Tang Xi.   In the kitchen, Wang Dahai, who had originally wanted to go out, was stopped by Wang Xiaoyu, "Dad, don't forget how they treated you, mother and us."   She was bullied by Wang Xiaodong's three siblings. Every time she cut pig food and picked wild fruits and vegetables, as long as she met those three people, she basically returned empty-handed. She couldn't   beat them. The three people basically didn't listen to reason. If she resisted, she would only be beaten. Seeing Wang Xiaodong and his brother being sent to the government office, she just felt that this was retribution in this life.   Wang Dahe, who rushed over after hearing the news, could only help them back.   No one said anything about the third son of the Wang family, because among the three brothers of the Wang family, Wang Dahe was the only one who was relatively honest, except for Wang Dahai. However, his wife was no pushover either.   Wang Dahai's family was driven out, and the third son's wife also contributed greatly. To put it bluntly, they were of the same kind.   Wang Dahai had no choice but to shake his head and sigh.   "Dear Dahai, did the city lord and that girl come to your house to buy fish?" someone was curious.   Tang Xiaohe said, "That girl is my niece, and the city lord is my niece's future husband."   Everyone was envious after hearing this, "The future city lord's wife? Your family is going to be rich."   As for the city lord, they all thought it was great that someone knew the small county magistrate in the town, but Wang Dahai's family was even better, and was directly a relative of the future city lord's wife. Just thinking about it made people envious.   "What are you talking about?" Tang Xiaohe said disapprovingly, "My niece is the future wife of the city lord. This is the pride of the Tang family. However, what does this have to do with our Wang family?" "   I heard that they brought a lot of good things to you. How can it have nothing to do with you?" Some people think that Tang Xiaohe is pretending to be noble.   Tang Xiaohe smiled lightly, "My niece bought those because she cares about her cousins. People should rely on themselves instead of others."   "What you said." Someone laughed and said, "The wife of the city lord must have a very noble status. In the future, do you have anything you want?" "   Why?" Tang Xiaohe sneered, "My niece was not raised by our Wang family. Why should we have to give us what we want?"   In her opinion, even if her niece is successful and her brother's life is better, it has nothing to do with her.   She is like this. Unless others give it to her, she will not take the initiative to ask for it.   Someone sneered, "Why are you pretending to be so noble? If I had a niece like this, I would want to go to her house every day."   "That's you, not me." Tang Xiaohe said, and said calmly, "Since there is nothing to do, let's go back."   Everyone looked at Tang Xi and Xie Cheng standing far away, and they were both envious and jealous of Tang Xiaohe.   After everyone dispersed, Tang Xiaohe breathed a sigh of relief.   "Mom, the food is ready." Wang Xiaoyu came out and said, "Do you want to eat in the house or in the yard?"   "Put it in the yard."   Tang Xiaohe said, smiling at Xie Cheng and Tang Xi, "You must be hungry, sit down and prepare to eat."   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 272 Giving Money   Not long after lunch, Kong Yue and the village chief came back.   Because Wang Xiaojie was too young, he was scolded and then released. Wang Xiaodong was not so relaxed because there was so much evidence of his crimes, and because of Xie Cheng's relationship, he was not only beaten with 20 boards, but also put in jail. It is said that he will not be able to come back for several months. After   this incident, Wang Xiaojie was already afraid, because the adults said that if they committed the same crime again, the two brothers would be in jail for life.   He was also taken to the jail to see those in prison. Those people were both pitiful and scary.   Tang Xi heard that Wang Xiaojie was crying all the way back, and he kept yelling that he would never dare to do it again next time.   "Aunt, uncle, do you want to go with us?"   Tang Xi glanced at the sky and saw that it was almost You time, so he asked Tang Xiaohe and Wang Dahai.   "No." Tang Xiaohe smiled and said, "I'm glad you are all safe. When we have time in the future, aunt and uncle will bring Xiaoyu and Xiaotian to see you."   She wanted to go back just to see if the Tang family is doing well now. If they are really not doing well, she can also help out.   But now it seems that her worries are unnecessary. With Tang Xi around, her brother will definitely live a good life.   "Are you going back now?" Tang Xiaohe tried to persuade them, "You came all the way here, play for a few more days, your aunt hasn't had a good talk with you yet."   "We still have to go to Lianhua Town to see my grandparents," Tang Xi said with regret, "I haven't seen my grandparents since my father remarried, and I don't know how the two old people are doing."   "What?" Tang Xiaohe was shocked, "Did your father remarry?"   "Yes, but now they are separated again."   "Disbanded?" Tang Xiaohe frowned, "Why?"   Tang Xi briefly recounted what Liu had done. Tang Xiaohe was furious after hearing it, "It's better to disperse such people. If they are still kept, the Tang family will be in a mess."   Tang Xi smiled, untied her purse, took out five silver bills worth one hundred taels from it and stuffed them into Tang Xiaohe's hand, saying, "Aunt, this is for you."   Tang Xiaohe spread her hands and took a look. When she saw the face value on the silver bill, she couldn't help but be shocked, "Aunt can't take this!"   As she said, she wanted to stuff the silver bill back to Tang Xi, but she dodged it.   "Aunt, please take it." Tang Xi smiled and said, "Renovate the house. My cousin is already eight years old. If there is a private school in the village, send him to study. We don't ask for him to pass the imperial examination, but only for him to learn a few words in the future."   Tang Xiaohe shook her head, "We can't take your money. You earned it with hard work. We didn't do anything. How can we take it for free?"   "Aunt, you are too polite." Tang Xi said, "If you don't accept it, you don't recognize my niece."   "Child, how can you be like this?" Tang Xiaohe shook her head helplessly, "You will suffer if you behave like this."   "That depends on who you suffer."   If it was people like Yang's mother and daughter and Liu's mother and daughter, she really didn't want to suffer, and she would not let herself suffer.   Tang Xiaohe nodded slightly with red eyes, "Aunt believes that with you here, the Tang family will definitely get better and better."   "I will definitely make the Tang family better and better." Tang Xi said, "I will wait for aunt and uncle, as well as my cousins to come and see us in Hanshui City."   "Are you leaving now, cousin?" Wang Xiaotian pouted, "It's only been a short time since I came."   He wanted to take a few more carriage rides, but it seems that he can't take them.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 273 Renting a Carriage   "Yes, when you go to Hanshui City to find your cousin, your cousin will take you and Xiaoyu to visit Hanshui City. There are so many delicious foods there."   "Really?" Wang Xiaotian's eyes lit up, "Is it better than the pastries my cousin bought?"   "Yeah!" Tang Xi wrinkled her nose and smiled, "There are so many delicious foods there."   Wang Xiaotian turned around and looked at Tang Xiaohe and said, "Mom, I want to go to the Hanshui City that my cousin mentioned."   Tang Xiaohe looked at him with amusement and said, "Kid, what else do you have in your eyes except food?"   Wang Xiaoyu smiled, "If you want to eat, you might as well go to Hanshui City with your cousin."   "Yeah!" Tang Xi nodded, "That's fine."   Wang Xiaotian curled his lips, "But, Mom and Dad and Sister are not going, I will miss home if I go alone."   "Then don't say anymore." Wang Xiaoyu said, "Wait until Mom goes to my uncle's house, it won't be too late for us to go with them."   Tang Xi chuckled, "Then let's wait until next time."   "Yeah!" Wang Xiaotian nodded regretfully.   Tang Xi looked back, only to find that Xie Cheng, who was sitting next to her, had disappeared.   "Huh?" Tang Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Kong Yue and asked, "Where is your master?"   Kong Yue said, "He went out."   "When did it happen?" Tang Xi was surprised. Why didn't she notice it at all? Could it be that he was too engrossed in the conversation with his aunt just now?   Wang Xiaotian said, "It's been a while. Big brother went out with his father."   "Going out with his uncle?" Tang Xi frowned, "Where did he go?"   "He went over there." Wang Xiaotian pointed to the direction deep in the village.   "Over there," Tang Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Is it the direction of the village chief's house?"   Wang Xiaotian nodded, "Yeah!"   Tang Xi seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but smile with relief.   This guy left without saying a word.   "Cousin, why don't you listen to my mother and stay for a few days." Wang Xiaoyu said, "You came all the way here and left without a good rest. You must be very tired."   "Yes, yes!" Wang Xiaotian pulled her sleeve and shook it gently, "Cousin, just stay."   Tang Xi chuckled, tapped his nose and said, "You, you want to keep the carriage, right?"   Wang Xiaotian, whose thoughts were exposed, stuck out his tongue and laughed.   Tang Xiaohe said, "Xiaoyu is right. You are leaving just after arriving. You are too tired. Stay first and continue your journey after you have enough energy."   "It's not that I don't want to stay, but Ah Cheng is the lord of a city and can't leave Hanshui City for too long."   Tang Xiaohe nodded slightly when he heard it, expressing his understanding. This big shot is always busy.   "Auntie doesn't have anything to give you. I thought I would come to see you during this period, so I prepared some things in advance. You can take them with you when you go back later. However, the smell is a bit strong. Auntie suggests that you rent another carriage."   "Is it dried fish?" Tang Xi asked.   Tang Xiaohe nodded, "There are also some shrimp paste and oyster powder. Auntie thought that you are far from the sea, so I brought you more."   Tang Xi hesitated and said, "But, I'm afraid there are not many carriages to rent nearby."   "Yes." Tang Xiaohe said, "There are people in the village who raise horses and rent them out. However, it's probably more expensive to   go from here to Hanshui City." Tang Xi smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter, as long as we can rent a carriage."   Tang Xiaohe glanced at the sky and said to her, "Then let's rent a carriage now. It's getting late. If it's any later, it will be dark."   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 274 Rescue   "Okay!"   Tang Xi just stood up, Wang Xiaotian also stood up quickly, took Tang Xiaohe's arm and said: "Mother, I want to go too!"   "Okay, you go too." Tang Xiaohe said to Wang Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, you stay at home and don't let those dirty hands and feet come in and take away the things your cousin brought to you."   Wang Xiaoyu nodded, "Don't worry, mother, I will take good care of the things."   Tang Xi looked at Kong Yue and said: "Kong Yue, you stay too, I will go with my aunt."   "Yes!"   The three of them walked out of the yard and walked towards a small path.   There was a lake not far away from the path. From a distance, it seemed that the depth was unknown, but the lake water looked a little turbid.   As soon as the three approached, they heard a heart-wrenching cry coming from them.   Tang Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she guessed that something big might have happened.   Wang Xiaotian seemed timid, but he didn't expect that he would leave the two of them and run over first. Tang Xiaohe didn't have time to catch him, so she could only speed up to catch up.   "Isn't this Aunt Peng's voice? What happened?" Tang Xiaohe's face was a little solemn.   Tang Xi followed her with a worried look. The closer he got, the more voices he heard.   "It's so pitiful. The Peng family only has such a daughter, and she's gone just like that."   "This child is fine, why would she go down to the river for no reason?"   Tang Xiaohe's heart was pounding. "Could it be that Xiao Ni got into trouble?"   As the two approached, they heard an old and heavy voice coming over.   "Alas - it's too late, the person is already dead, please accept my condolences."   Tang Xi approached and saw a little girl about seven or eight years old lying on the ground. Next to the little girl, there were several people kneeling. An old woman was crying heartbreakingly, and a middle-aged woman closed her eyes and fell into a man's arms after hearing the old man's words.   "Oh my God!" Tang Xiaohe covered her mouth, and her eyes were instantly red.   "Mom!" Wang Xiaotian ran over in fear and hid behind her.   Tang Xi frowned slightly, stepped forward and squatted, reaching out to flip the little girl's eyes.   "What are you doing?" the old man said unhappily.   Seeing the medicine box next to her, Tang Xi knew that the old man in front of her was a doctor.   She didn't have time to talk to the old man, but was busy rescuing the little girl.   Seeing her series of actions, everyone was shocked and embarrassed.   "What are you doing?" The people of the Peng family came back to their senses and glared at her.   Tang Xi ignored them and continued to rescue.   Just when everyone was about to step forward to stop them, they heard a "cough" from the little girl's mouth, followed by several consecutive coughs, and water flowed out from the corners of the little girl's mouth.   "She's breathing! Oh my God!" Everyone exclaimed.   "This... How is this possible?" The old man was shocked.   Seeing the little girl slowly open her eyes, Tang Xi breathed a sigh of relief.   The little girl looked at Tang Xi in confusion, and when she heard the sound of her family crying and laughing, she suddenly burst into tears.   "It's good that she's alive, it's good that she's alive!" Aunt Peng hugged her granddaughter and cried until her voice was hoarse.   "Thank you, benefactor, thank you, benefactor!"   The people of the Peng family knelt and kowtowed to Tang Xi, frightening Tang Xi to retreat again and again, "You should take her back as soon as possible, the wind is strong and her clothes are still wet."   Everyone reminded: "Yes, take her back quickly."   At this time, the woman who fell on the man also woke up. After seeing her daughter wake up, she hugged her and cried, beat and scolded her. For a while, the mother and the child cried, and everyone felt distressed and relieved.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 275 Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation   All the people in the Peng family went back, leaving only the man.   "What's your name?" The man wiped his tears and asked Tang Xi with a bow.   Tang Xi shook his head, "I am a doctor, saving people is my duty."   The man felt around and took out two pieces of silver, blushing and said, "I don't have much here, just this much, I hope you don't mind."   "No need!" Tang Xi said indifferently, "Today I was able to pass by here and met the little girl, which proves that she is not destined to die, and also proves that she and I are destined to be together. I won't accept the money, just treat it as a good deed."   "This... How can I be so embarrassed?" The man was a little embarrassed.   "Brother Peng, this is my niece." Tang Xiaohe stepped forward and said, "Your family has helped me and Dahai a lot in the past, so you don't have to give me the money." The   Peng family has many mouths and many mouths. Although the family is not rich, they are all kind people. Usually, any family in the village needs help, and the people of the Peng family have never been absent.   "So she is Tang Meizi's niece!" The man said with gratitude, "I was wondering why this girl looked unfamiliar."   "What happened to Xiao Ni? Why did she fall into the water?" Tang Xiaohe was puzzled.   "Alas, it's all the child's fault for being careless." The man said, "Today her grandmother was going out to cut pig food, and she insisted on following. When she was cutting pig food by the lake, she accidentally slipped and rolled into the lake."   "This is too dangerous. You have to be more careful next time."   "Yes!" The man sighed heavily, "It's a good thing that the little girl is here, otherwise, I'm afraid the person would be gone." As soon as   he said this, the doctor next to him looked a little embarrassed, because his medical skills were shallow and he almost killed a child.   "This method of saving people is unheard of by me. I wonder how the girl knew it?" He was really curious.   In a village like theirs that is close to the sea, Peng Xiaoni is not the only one who has drowned. Moreover, those who have been drowned for a long time are basically beyond rescue. Therefore, it is a miracle for them that Peng Xiaoni is alive today.   Tang Xi said, "This is called CPR."   "CPR?" The old doctor frowned and pondered, "Where did you learn this from, young lady? Why have I never seen it before?"   Tang Xi said, "This is what my master taught me. I don't know where he learned it from."   "You are getting more and more skilled at lying with your eyes open."   Tang Xi just raised his eyebrows slightly and ignored the system that suddenly spoke.   "So that's how it is!" The old doctor said respectfully, "Your master can think of this method. I think he is not an ordinary person. I really admire him."   Tang Xi smiled and nodded slightly, "I admire him too."   Tang Xiaohe smiled and said, "Doctor Zhang, it's getting late. We still have to go to the Lin family to rent a carriage. I won't keep you company."   "Really?" The old doctor was a little embarrassed when he heard it, and said, "Please forgive me for wasting the young lady's time."   "No problem!" Tang Xi smiled, "We'll go first."   The old doctor nodded and politely made a gesture of invitation, "Please!"   "Brother Peng, we'll go first."   "Hey!"   Tang Xi and his group had just left the lake when they heard the sound of everyone's discussion.   "I didn't expect that the little niece of the Dahai family is not only beautiful, but also knows medicine."   "Isn't it? She doesn't look that old, but her medical skills are so amazing. I'm afraid she will become a miracle doctor in the future?" "   I just saw the little girl from the Peng family, she was already dead. I didn't expect that she woke up after just a while. It's amazing!"   ...   Tang Xi just smiled calmly and continued to walk forward with Tang Xiaohe and her son.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 276 Changed   After walking for a while, Wang Xiaotian looked at her with admiration and said, "Cousin, you are so awesome!"   Tang Xi said softly, "Don't play by the lake casually in the future, and don't go into the sea casually, understand?"   "I'm not afraid!" Wang Xiaotian said proudly, "I can swim."   "You have to be careful even if you can swim. What if your leg cramps?" Tang Xi said, "Be careful about everything."   "Your cousin is right!" Tang Xiaohe said, "This is too dangerous. Look at Xiaoni. If it weren't for your cousin, you would have almost never come back."   Thinking of Peng Xiaoni's appearance just now, Wang Xiaotian was also a little scared, so he had to say obediently, "I know, mother, I will never go to the lake to play again."   "Good boy!" Tang Xi smiled and rubbed his little head.   Tang Xiaohe looked at Tang Xi and smiled slightly, but couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Her little niece was really extraordinary. In that situation, she could still save people in danger. This character seemed to be unlike her parents.   She remembered that when Tang Xi was little, she was a little introverted, shy and didn't like to laugh. Every time she saw her, she only dared to hide behind Mrs. Mo. Unexpectedly, when she grew up, not only her appearance changed, but also her personality.   Mrs. Mo was the younger sister of the scholar, a well-educated person. Although she married into the countryside, she always liked to tinker with her broken books, and sometimes she liked to nitpick and was proud. Maybe that was why she always disliked Mrs. Mo. However   , she loved her little niece very much. Even though she married far away, she always thought about her in her heart and asked people to send her things back from time to time.   But since Xiaoyu was born, and Wang Dahai was seriously ill, he gradually couldn't take care of the people in the Tang family.   When they arrived at the Lin family, it was getting dark. After renting a carriage, the three of them hurriedly took the carriage back to the Wang family.   The driver who traveled with them this time was the third son of the Lin family. He was very burly, seemed to know some leg skills, and spoke in a loud voice. It was said that he was a hunter.   "I'm back."   As soon as Tang Xi got off the carriage, Xie Cheng came up.   "Did you go to the village chief's house?" Tang Xi raised his eyebrows and asked softly.   "Yes." Xie Cheng nodded, "In order to avoid what happened today from happening again in the future, I went to the village chief to explain some things."   Even if he didn't say it in detail, Tang Xi knew what he said to the village chief.   Probably asking the village chief to take good care of Tang Xiaohe's family.   She smiled softly and said, "Thank you!" "   Why are you being polite?" Xie Cheng pretended to be displeased and flicked her forehead, "Don't be so polite next time."   "Yes!"   Over there, Wang Dahai and Lin Laosan were already moving things to the carriage.   When Xie Cheng saw it, he also hurried forward to help move it. In a short while, the carriage was already filled with various seafood.   "It's getting dark now, why don't you wait until tomorrow to set off." Tang Xiaohe still didn't give up and spoke to keep them.   Tang Xi smiled and pointed at the lantern hanging on the carriage and said, "It's lit, it won't be a problem."   "Forget it!" Tang Xiaohe sighed, "Auntie won't keep you, take care on your journey."   "Yeah!" Tang Xi stepped forward and smiled at the Wang family, "Uncle, Xiaoyu, Xiaotian, I'll wait for you and Auntie in Hanshui City."   "Here, for you, keep it." Xie Cheng gave Wang Xiaotian and Wang Xiaoyu a purse each. The two thought it was a sachet or something, so they didn't refuse.   He nodded slightly to Wang Dahai and Tang Xiaohe, "Goodbye!"   Wang Dahai nodded and bowed, "Goodbye!"   "I'm leaving!"   Before getting on the carriage, Tang Xi gave Tang Xiaohe and Wang Xiaoyu a few boxes of Wanlinghua Cream, and after explaining the purpose, he waved to them.   Tang Xiaohe also waved to her, and as she followed the carriage out of the yard, she loudly reminded them, "The wind is strong on the sea, remember to wear more clothes."   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 277 Xie Cheng mentioned the death of his parents   "Where are we going?"   Seeing the carriage heading towards the seaside pier, Tang Xi was a little confused.   Xie Cheng explained in a low voice: "To Lianhua Town, it's closer by sea."   "I see."   She finally understood why Tang Xiaohe said that the wind was strong at sea and asked them to wear more clothes.   When they arrived at the pier, there was already a huge ship parked next to the pier. Kong Yue and Lin Laosan drove the carriage directly to the ship.   The captain was a middle-aged man. Under the light, his face was somewhat similar to that of Village Chief Cheng.   Tang Xi and Xie Cheng had just got off the carriage when the captain stepped forward and said respectfully: "Please come in."   Xie Cheng nodded slightly, indicating that the captain should lead the way.   "What is the relationship between this captain and the village chief?" Tang Xi poked Xie Cheng's waist with his elbow and asked in a low voice.   Xie Cheng bowed his head and whispered in her ear: "Captain Cheng is the village chief's younger brother."   Cheng Ming seemed to have heard the conversation between the two, turned around and smiled at them, "Tea has been prepared on the second floor, you guys go up and rest for a while, we will help you take care of the things in the carriage."   Xie Cheng nodded slightly. After going up to the second floor, Tang Xi did not drink tea, but went directly to the railing outside to look, but saw that the sails had not been raised yet, as if they were still waiting for someone.   The sea breeze was indeed a bit strong at night, and the waves hit the boulders, making a thunderous sound. Looking into the deep sea, you can still see a little light, which should be a fishing boat going out to sea to fish late at night.   "What are you thinking about?"   A gentle and low voice came from her ears. Tang Xi turned around and smiled at the person who came, "I'm thinking, life is really not easy."   Xie Cheng smiled faintly, walked to her side, looked at the distance of the sea and said faintly: "My parents were buried at sea."   Tang Xi suddenly raised her eyes, but saw him under the light, with a bit of indifference and melancholy.   "Back then, my parents had just returned from a business trip elsewhere, and they also took the sea route. But they encountered a group of pirates late at night. Those people only killed people and did not rob money."   He laughed sarcastically, "Although I was young at the time, I had never heard of any pirates who did not rob money but only killed people."   Tang Xi did not speak, but just took his arm, leaned on it, and listened silently.   "But it doesn't matter." He smiled faintly and said, "The mastermind has been killed by me personally."   "The mastermind... is the former city lord of Dark Night City?" she asked in a low voice.   "Yes." He smiled and said, "I thought he was really good at the time. Even though my father and mother were gone, my sister and I still had grandparents, Chen Luo, and him and Aunt Yan. I just didn't expect..."   He closed his eyes, trying to suppress his emotions and said, "He is actually a beast."   "Does City Lord Chen know about this?" Tang Xi asked again.   "I promised Aunt Yan that I would not let him know the truth and let him live well." Xie Cheng smiled bitterly, "Sometimes I envy him, at least he doesn't know that the father he admires is not only the enemy of his best friend, but also the culprit who killed his mother."   "What?" Tang Xi was stunned, "City Lord Chen's mother was also killed by his father?"   "Because Aunt Yan discovered his secret, he gave Aunt Yan a chronic poison." Xie Cheng sneered, "I was wondering how he could do this to his brother who was as close as a brother to him, but then I thought, he dared to harm even his first wife, what else can he not do." It was a   pity that he regarded that man as one of the most respected people in his life, but he didn't expect that he would mistake his enemy for a benefactor, which was really ridiculous.   He didn't say the reason. Tang Xi was afraid that he would be sad and didn't dare to ask more. He could only stand beside him silently and accompany him silently.   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 278 You haven't called me big brother.   After recovering from his grief, Xie Cheng took a deep breath and said in a calm voice, "It's windy outside, let's go back to the cabin."   "Okay!"   The two were about to go back to the cabin, but saw more than a dozen carriages full of goods approaching from afar, and finally drove all the way from the dock into the ship.   Captain Cheng stepped forward and said something, and the drivers and members of the ship began to move the goods.   A gust of wind blew, and the air was filled with the salty smell of sea water. Tang Xi tidied up her messy black hair, and looked down at the people on the deck with Xie Cheng.   "Let's go."   After watching for a while, Xie Cheng pulled her back to the cabin with little interest.   "What are they doing?" Tang Xi was very curious.   Xie Cheng poured a bowl of tea for her and himself, and said in a calm voice, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be some dried sea goods."   Tang Xi understood when she heard it. Captain Cheng should want to send these things to buy somewhere else.   Or, people from other places should have ordered these goods, and then those buyers asked him to help ship these goods.   "Why don't I see Kong Yue and Brother Lin?" Tang Xi looked around and asked in confusion.   "Brother Lin?" Xie Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, "You mean the big guy?"   "Big guy?" Tang Xi was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "He has a name."   Xie Cheng retracted his gaze and said unhappily, "You have never called me brother."   Tang Xi's beautiful eyes slightly opened, and she smiled at the corners of her lips and said, "You are jealous too?"   As for why she didn't call him brother, he didn't know, she didn't know it herself?   How old is she, how old is he, is she embarrassed to say it?   The young man in front of him really doesn't know the sadness of his sister.   "I don't care, I have called you sister, you must call me brother."   Tang Xi: ...   Have you ever seen someone act coquettishly and still look indifferent?   She turned her head away, "I won't."   "Will you scream or not?" Xie Cheng pinched her face, curled his thin lips and threatened, "If you don't scream, I will..."   "What?"   "Kiss you."   Her eyes widened, her pretty face flushed, and she quickly turned her head away and whispered, "Rogue."   Xie Cheng didn't take it seriously. He straightened her face, curled his lips and asked with a smile, "So, are you going to scream or not?"   "No."   "Do you really think I won't bite you?"   Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, slapped his hand that was pinching her face and snorted, "I don't know who said I don't have much meat and can't bite me."   Xie Cheng:...   Sure enough, Lu Huai was right, you can offend anyone but not women. They will not only remember the grudge, but also remember it for a lifetime.   He coughed lightly and smiled flatteringly: "I was wrong. Miss Tang, please forgive my foolish remarks in the past."   Tang Xi shook her head, "Your apology is not sincere at all."   Xie Cheng was embarrassed when he heard this, "How about this, I won't kiss you, you kiss me instead, how about it?"   Tang Xi: "...Is there any difference?"   "Of course there is." Xie Cheng said innocently: "If I kiss you, I am taking advantage of you, but if you kiss me, then you are taking advantage of me, how about it? Are you taking advantage of me or not?"   It seemed to make sense. If she was not an adult, she would have been fooled long ago.   After all, his thin lips are really tempting...   "How?"   Seeing that she was just staring at him but didn't move, Xie Cheng hurriedly moved his face closer and said in a gentle and persuasive way: "Are you really not going to take advantage of me?"   Tang Xi stretched out her hand to pull his face aside and said in a light voice: "City Lord Xie, you are seducing underage girls, which is a crime, do you know?"   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 279 Are you teasing me?   "Underage girl?" Xie Cheng held her hand and raised his eyebrows, saying, "Does it mean... not yet of age?"   Tang Xi nodded, "That's about right."   Xie Cheng sighed, stretched out his hand to pinch her face again and said, "Grow up quickly, little girl. Brother is waiting to marry you."   It was really torturous that the delicate flowers were so close but he couldn't pick them.   He suddenly understood why Lu Huai started to talk about Xie Ling every few days after leaving her. He found that he couldn't leave the little girl anymore. He missed her every day he was away. This seemingly innocent but actually cunning smiling face always appeared in his mind.   He was regretting it, but his face suddenly warmed up. Although it was just a touch and then left, the soft touch left made him stunned.   Looking back at the little girl who was smiling happily, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you teasing me?"   Tang Xi smiled softly, "You said it was."   Someone pretended to be calm, but in fact, the red ears had betrayed him.   Alas! As expected, he is still a pure young man, who would be shy even if he was kissed on the face.   He raised his head and gently touched her head, and said with deep emotion: "I am trying hard to suppress my beastly nature, little girl, don't provoke it easily, understand?"   "Rogue." Tang Xi sneered, and was about to get up to talk to Kong Yue, but there was a sound of footsteps on the wooden board downstairs.   She thought that Kong Yue and Lin Laosan had returned, and was about to call for help, but saw two strange men coming up.   The two were dressed in noble clothes. Although they were not handsome, they were also handsome. However, they were full of arrogance. Even if they didn't get angry, their eyes had already conveyed the message that they were not easy to mess with. They   didn't seem to expect that there were other people on the second floor, nor did they expect that they would be a perfect couple, so they frowned.   One of them was dressed in green and held a poem and painting fan, and the other was dressed in a yellow robe.   The man in yellow robe stared at the two of them unhappily and said, "What's wrong with Cheng Ming? Didn't he say that there were only two of us   in the cabin tonight?" Xie Cheng didn't say anything, because they were here because of the suggestion of Village Chief Cheng.   Since his parents passed away, he actually had some aversion to the sea route. He would never take the sea route unless it was absolutely necessary.   The reason why he chose to take the sea route today was because he didn't want the little girl to continue to wander for another half a month.   The man in green said, "Hey, we're going to rest here tonight, you guys go down quickly."   Tang Xi sneered, "Everything should be based on first come first served. The two gentlemen want to occupy this place as soon as they come. It's a bit too arrogant."   "Oh?" The man in green sneered, "The little beauty is quite eloquent, but we are not the kind of people who pity women. In order to avoid some trouble, please go down by yourselves." "   What if we don't go down?" Xie Cheng suddenly raised his eyes and stared at the two of them with sharp eyes.   The two looked at each other and laughed suddenly.   Cheng Ming, who had just finished unloading the goods and was about to go upstairs to talk about something, felt inexplicably nervous when he heard the laughter.   In order to ensure that the goods could be delivered smoothly, he hurried upstairs.   Kong Yue and Lin Lao San, who were watching the excitement below, also followed up after hearing the laughter.   "Everyone, please calm down!"   Seeing the tense scene in front of him, Cheng Ming couldn't help but wipe his sweat.   "Captain Cheng, you came at the right time," the man in blue said arrogantly, "Didn't you say that it was only me and Master Shangguan tonight? What's going on with these people?"   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 280 All Crazy   Cheng Ming apologized, "Mr. Xu, please forgive me. These distinguished guests are here temporarily. This cabin is not small. You two can just find a place to sit."   "I don't care." Xu Yi said, "Tonight, either I get off the boat or they go downstairs."   Shangguan Cong said, "Mr. Xu's attitude is my attitude."   "This..." Cheng Ming glanced at Xie Cheng, who was silent but cold, and gritted his teeth and said, "In this case, please get off the boat."   Although these two people have noble status in Yanhai Town, they are far inferior to the one sitting there.   "What?" Both of them looked at him in disbelief.   Xu Yi frowned, "Captain Cheng, what do you mean?"   Is Captain Cheng crazy?   One of them is the son of the salt official of Yanhai Town, and the other is the son of the county magistrate. As long as they give an order, whether Cheng Ming's boat can sail is still a matter of time. Now he dares to ask them to get off the boat in front of others. It's really unreasonable!   Shangguan Cong narrowed his eyes and looked at Xie Cheng as if he was thinking about something.   "Captain Cheng, we are not getting off the boat." He said to Cheng Ming, "Please prepare some tea for us on the first floor."   "Brother Shangguan, what do you mean?"   Xu Yi was puzzled. It was okay for Cheng Ming to be crazy, but why did Shangguan Cong also get confused? Unexpectedly   , Shangguan Cong ignored him, but bowed to Xie Cheng and said, "I'm sorry for offending you just now, please forgive me!"   Xie Cheng looked at him coldly and remained silent.   Shangguan Cong's heart skipped a beat, and he said to Xu Yi, "Brother Xu, let's go down."   "But..."   He pointed at Xie Cheng with the poem and painting fan in his hand, and then pointed downstairs, with a look of confusion on his face.   "This...what's going on?"   After going downstairs, Xu Yi couldn't help asking.   He really didn't understand why Shangguan Cong, who had always been domineering and arrogant, suddenly stopped his anger today, not only went downstairs obediently, but also took the initiative to apologize to others.   "You don't understand." Shangguan Cong said, "We almost killed everyone in the two mansions."   "Ah?" Xu Yi was shocked, "Who is the person upstairs?" How   could such a big shot appear in this small fishing village?   Shangguan Cong glanced upstairs and whispered, "Anyway, don't ask any more questions. When you see him, either be polite or stay away. He is not someone we can afford to offend."   Just as he finished speaking, Cheng Ming came down from upstairs.   He glanced at Cheng Ming and said meaningfully, "Captain Cheng, you almost ruined us."   "It was my negligence." Cheng Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I just received a message from my brother at the last minute, and then I knew that there was a distinguished person who wanted to take the boat with us. I didn't expect that as soon as you two got on, you had a conflict with that distinguished person."   Shangguan Cong coughed lightly, "Go prepare tea."   In the final analysis, he didn't see the man clearly. Not to mention anything else, just looking at his temperament, he was not an ordinary person. He was also bewildered just now, and actually followed Xu Yi to speak and offend people. He only hoped that the person upstairs would be magnanimous because he took the initiative to come downstairs.   "This... what's going on?" Xu Yi was still confused.   Shangguan Cong frowned and shook his head slightly, and whispered, "Anyway, don't ask anymore, I will tell you slowly later."   Although he said so, Xu Yi still couldn't help but want to know the answer, "So, who is he?"   (End of this chapter)
