Chapter 13 Touched
At Chen Ran's home.
Wu Hengzheng held a steamed bun in his left hand and a piece of meat in his right, swallowing it without chewing.
Looking at Wu Heng wolfing down his food, Chen Ran felt a pang of emotion.
Eat slowly.
As he spoke, he handed another plate of steamed buns to Wu Heng.
Wu Heng picked up a steamed bun, drank a pot of water, and continued to gulp it down.
"Tell me, aren't you a laborer at the docks? Why are you here robbing food out of the blue?"
Chen Ran asked, somewhat puzzled.
Hearing Chen Ran ask the question, Wu Heng put down the steamed bun in his hand.
"Knock knock knock".
Just as Wu Heng was about to speak, there was a knock on Chen Ran's door.
Upon opening the door, a middle-aged man I had never seen before appeared, carrying some things and smiling obsequiously.
"Are you Chen Ran?"
"I am Zhao Desheng, the manager of the Beide Restaurant. I am here to invite you to serve as the captain of our restaurant's security team."
"What are the conditions?"
"The monthly salary is thirty taels, and ten catties of iron-boned rhinoceros meat are also provided every month."
Of course, all you need to do is stay at the restaurant for one day on the 15th of each month.
"Normally you can do whatever you want, just when the restaurant needs you to. Of course, that will be paid separately."
"I'll think about it."
"Of course, you can come anytime you like."
After the conversation ended, the other party did not disturb them but turned and left.
After seeing off the manager of the North German Restaurant, Chen Ran headed straight for his room.
The room was empty, completely deserted.
On the table, there were still a few steamed buns that Wu Heng hadn't finished eating.
Chen Ran frowned.
Seeing the footprints by the window, Chen Ran frowned even more.
…………
"Chen, Brother Chen is doing very well now. I, I can't drag him down."
I took a few extra steamed buns from Brother Chen. I hope he won't blame me.
Regarding my little sister's matter, I... I'll think of a solution.
Wu, Wu Heng, you, you definitely can.
Touching the few steamed buns on his chest, Wu Heng's chapped lips curled into a satisfied smile.
The thin Wu Heng walked down the street, the setting sun casting a long shadow of him.
After passing through several alleys, we arrived at a street even more dilapidated than Rat Street.
"Let me go!!! Let me go!!! Waaaaaah!!!"
Just as he approached his home, full of anticipation.
His sister's heart-wrenching screams pulled him back from his hopeful fantasies to the despairing reality.
Wu Heng rushed over.
Seeing the scene before him, he was filled with rage.
There she saw her younger sister being dragged out of the room by several burly men.
Their eyes were filled with greed.
"Aaaaaah!!! You beasts!!!"
Wu Heng immediately rushed forward.
However, the sheer number of men meant that he was brutally pinned to the ground by a few lackeys.
"Tch, a piece of trash is a piece of trash. It's an honor for Master Wang to take a liking to your sister. If Master Wang didn't care about his reputation, he would have snatched your sister away long ago."
"Why do we have to do so many things?"
"Alright, that's enough. Master Wang is just being chivalrous. Hahahaha."
The jeers of the henchmen echoed through the dilapidated house.
"I'm going to kill you all!!! Kill you all!!!"
Wu Heng's eyes were filled with madness.
He finally realized that his sister had always been very careful and there was no way she could have torn the silk belonging to the wealthy man.
So that's why!
However, if explosive growth were effective, there wouldn't be so many tragedies.
"Bang!!"
He slammed his fist down hard, and the last thing he saw was his sister being knocked unconscious and taken away.
These people did not kill Wu Heng.
After all, the money Master Wang gave them was only enough to kidnap people.
Just as the group was passing through an alley...
"Whoosh!"
Large amounts of lime were thrown down from the rooftop.
"Aaaaaah!!! My eyes, my eyes!!"
"Who, who is it?!"
"Run! Run!!!!"
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Ran, dressed in a light white outfit and wearing a black cloth, appeared at the entrance of the alley.
A strong stench of urine wafted from the alley.
Chen Ran held a long stick, each blow resulting in a human head.
In just a short while, all the henchmen fell to the ground and died.
After searching the place, Chen Ran found a bag of silver, about several dozen taels.
Then, he grabbed Wu Nianchu's clothes and headed towards Wu Heng's house.
After placing the two of them on the bed, Chen Ran sighed softly.
Gently pinching the philtrum of both of them, Wu Heng slowly woke up.
"younger sister!!!!"
The first thing Wu Hengna called out to her younger sister when she woke up.
He then looked around and saw that he was on his own bed with a masked person in front of him. He was about to rush up and fight.
Helpless, Chen Ran slowly removed the black cloth.
"it's me."
"Chen, Brother Chen."
Stop looking at me and look at your sister.
Chen Ran pointed to Wu Nianchu next to Wu Heng.
Wu Heng quickly looked to the side and saw his younger sister.
Wu Nianchu slowly woke up.
Seeing her surroundings and her brother on the bed, she burst into tears.
The two embraced and wept.
Wu Nianchu was tall and slender with delicate features. Due to hunger and cold, her skin was somewhat sallow and rough, but her body was curvaceous and she was truly a beauty.
No wonder that rich man Wang was lustful at first sight.
"It's time to leave. This place is no longer suitable for you to live."
Chen Ran's untimely voice shattered the warm and cozy scene before them.
"Here are a few dozen taels of silver. Take them and I'll see you out of the city. If you need anything packed, hurry up."
Chen Ran stuffed the silver he had taken from the henchmen into Wu Heng's hand, put on his face mask, and walked out.
In order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation.
A short while later, Wu Heng and Wu Nianchu came out.
At this point, their appearance had changed drastically. Wu Nianchu, who already had short hair, was covered in bruises, and her feminine features had disappeared, making her look like a tomboy.
Seeing this, Chen Ran nodded.
In this world, it's a curse for poor women to be too beautiful.
Without letting them say anything more, Chen Ran led the two of them toward the city gate.
Every day, impoverished people fled Qinghe County, so Chen Ran and his companions' attire did not cause any stir.
Outside the ancient and sturdy city walls lies a desolate official road.
Chen Ran took the two to a relatively large village near Qinghe County.
"It's relatively safe here, and it's also close to Qinghe County. If anything happens, you can run to Qinghe County in time. You can live here."
"Thump~"
As soon as Chen Ran finished speaking, Wu Heng and Wu Nianchu knelt on the ground.
"Brother Chen, thank you so much, thank you so much."
With tears welling up in her eyes, Wu Nianchu had a deep impression of Chen Ran's appearance.
"Brother Chen, this thing is for you."
Wu Heng took a backpack out of his pocket, stuffed it into Chen Ran's hand, and then, without looking back, pulled his sister toward the village not far away.
"I hope you can all live well."
After offering a heartfelt blessing from the bottom of his heart, Chen Ran headed towards Qinghe County.
We've done everything we could to help them.
It's impossible for a nobody like me to fight against a wealthy man who can casually pull out dozens of taels of silver to kidnap people.
At least, it would be impossible without unbridled military force.
By the time I got home, the sun was high in the sky.
While cooking rice, Chen Ran opened the package that Wu Heng had given him.
Some of these things sent a chill down Chen Ran's spine.
