Chapter 23: Speaking Fair Words

  Chapter 23 says fair words

  This sudden change caught me off guard and I was both surprised and angry, shouting at the rough man: "What are you doing?"

  "What's going on?" The rough man pointed at the little kid on the ground and shouted in a loud voice: "You hit someone and you still want to run away?"

  My mother also got out of the car at this time and said kindly to the rough man: "We didn't hit him..."

  "Didn't hit you? Come here!" The rough man grabbed my arm and pushed me towards the child. I came to the front of the child, only to see that he was sitting on the ground, looking at us in a flustered manner. I asked him if I had hit him, and he nodded vaguely. I asked where I had hit him, but he just stared at me with his mouth open, not saying a word.

  Did I knock him silly? But I clearly didn't hit him, nor did I even touch him.

  "What are you going to do?" The rough man put his hands on his hips, looking exactly like a shrew.

  "Since no one was hurt, let's just forget it..."

  "Alright?" The rough man glared and said: "You let me bump into him just this once and that's it!"

  How dare you speak to my mother like that, it's absolutely unreasonable! I coldly said to the rough man: "Whether or not you bumped into someone, I know in my heart. Are you intentionally trying to bully us country folks?"

  The rough man slowly rolled up his sleeves, pointed at me with one finger and said word by word: "You listen, kid, now you have two choices, either stay behind or leave the car behind."

  At this time, many people gathered around to watch the excitement. Among them, a short-haired woman said to the person next to her, "He hit someone and doesn't admit it, and wants to run away." Everyone looked at me with disdain, it seems that we need to call the traffic police today. I took out my phone and was about to report the incident when a man walked over and loudly said, "Let me say something fair, I saw the whole thing clearly just now."

  As soon as I saw this person, it turned out to be that special agent, so I put down my phone and waited to see what he would say.

  The rough man looked at me and asked in a loud voice, "Who are you?" The plainclothesman said he was just a passerby who happened to see what had occurred, so he came over to say a fair word. The rough man grunted and pointed at me and the child, asking, "He bumped into someone and knocked the kid to the ground, don't you think he should pay compensation?"

  The agent slowly and calmly said: "If you hit someone, you naturally have to compensate." I was stunned, what is this kid talking about justice? It's obviously a cover-up for the tiger, but unexpectedly he turned around and said: "If you didn't hit anyone, you can't force others to compensate either. Otherwise, this is extortion!"

  Han was stunned for a moment, wanting to speak, but his mouth opened and closed again without saying anything.

  The agent came before the child, picked up the child and squatted down to ask: "Little friend, I'll ask you a question, does it hurt anywhere on your body?"

  The child, no more than five or six years old, stared at the plainclothes officer with wide eyes, shaking his head in confusion. The officer asked again, "Did that big brother bump into you just now? Don't lie to me, if you lie, the police uncle will catch you." The child looked at the rough man and then at the short-haired woman in the crowd, remaining silent for a long time.

  The rough man shouted: "What are you doing? Are you trying to scare the kid?"

  The agent stood up, calmly saying: "Everyone can see very clearly that I didn't scare the kid, just asked him a few questions that should be asked. I think everyone is also clear that the kid doesn't have any injuries on his body, which means the car didn't hit him..."

  The rough man was about to explode, but the agent stretched out his hand to stop him and continued: "As for why kids sit on the ground when a motorcycle is approaching, it's not necessary to say that everyone understands, someone taught them to do so. Why teach them to do so... Everyone knows in their heart, I won't say more."

  "What the hell is this thing!" The rough man was enraged and swung his fist at the spy, I pinched a handful of the rough man's clothes, just thinking of going forward to help, but heard a miserable cry, the rough man's body suddenly retreated and fell heavily to the ground.

  "How dare you hit people?" The short-haired woman jumped up, pointing at the secret agent with her eyes wide open. The secret agent said coldly: "I don't want to make a big deal out of this, you know what you want to do in your hearts, it's just that you see this brother has gold coins and want to take them for yourselves. If you think I'm wronging you, go ahead and call the police."

  The rough man cursed as he crawled up from the ground, one hand covering his chest and the other pointing at the agent, shouting: "You remember, don't go if you have the guts!" After finishing speaking, he took out his mobile phone and made a call.

  I only then realized that the plainclothesman had come to help me, and was a true hero who had stood up for justice. This kind of person can usually only be seen in movies or on TV, I didn't expect to meet one in real life. I thanked them repeatedly, but they just said calmly: "No need to thank me, I just spoke out for what's right. You should remember that wealth shouldn't be shown off, and you're also a bit too reckless, carrying around a gold coin and showing it off everywhere. It's no wonder someone would want to take advantage of you."

  The rough man was still on the phone, calling someone over, standing one zhang away. The short-haired woman grabbed the child's hand and stood two meters away from us, looking at us with disdain. The plainclothes officer said to me, "You guys leave, don't stand here anymore." I said things haven't been clarified yet, how can I leave? Moreover, he had provoked the rough man for my sake, and since that rough man dared to extort me, he must be a local snake, so I was worried that the plainclothes officer would get hurt, therefore I didn't want to leave.

  The agent let out a helpless sigh, then urged me to leave, saying he would take care of things. I asked him what his name was and how to contact him, and invited him to visit my home sometime. I also mentioned the name of our hometown. The agent nodded slightly and introduced himself as Song Tianyou. Then, seeming to remember something, he asked if I knew a doctor named Yang Shaojiang. I said that he was my father. Song Tianyou exclaimed in surprise, then hurried us into the car and told us to leave quickly. I saw the rough-looking man and the short-haired woman glance over at us, curse loudly, and then turn and walk away.

  I asked Song Tianyou how he knew my father, and Song Tianyou said: "Dr. Yang's medical skills are outstanding, and his reputation is well-known everywhere, so I naturally know him." I was very happy in my heart and chatted with Song Tianyou for a few more sentences. He then asked about the gold coin again, asking where I had gotten it from. Although he had just helped me, I still felt that I couldn't tell him the truth, and insisted that the gold coin had been passed down from my ancestors. Song Tianyou seemed to be thinking deeply and said that he would visit my home when he had time, and also pay his respects to my father. I told him that my father had gone out with someone surnamed Song and hadn't returned yet. Song Tianyou responded with an "oh" and said that he understood. He then urged us to hurry up and reminded us not to take the gold coin out again, as there were many bad people around. I said that I didn't have any other choice and wanted to sell the gold coin for tuition fees. Song Tianyou thought for a moment and said that if I was really short on money, he would buy the gold coin from me, but he could only pay 200,000 yuan.

  Finally, Song Tianyou withdrew 20,000 yuan from the bank for me, and I gave him the gold coins.

  Later, I felt that something was off about this. Suddenly, the 50,000 changed to 20,000, which didn't feel right in my heart for a while. However, the gold coins were sold and the tuition fees were settled.

  Back in the village, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon. I heard that something strange had happened in the village today - Qin Shu had caught another yellow-skinned creature while hunting on the mountain behind the village. When I heard this, I couldn't help but wonder what was going on. Why were there so many yellow-skinned creatures? One after another! But Qin Shu was also very strange, knowing that he shouldn't mess with these creatures, why did he catch one again?

  Then they heard Old Lady Liu from the lower house say: "That yellow-skinned one's mouth actually contained a gold coin!"

  My heart skipped a beat, gold coin... wouldn't it be the same as the one in front of my door? I hastily asked Aunt Liu what kind of gold coin it was, and Aunt Liu said it was about the size of a copper plate... I was secretly shocked, isn't this just like the gold coin in front of my door? How did it end up in Huang Pizi's mouth? Was it Huang Pizi who sent me the gold coin?

  "What about the yellow skin now?" I asked in a hurry. Aunt Liu said she didn't know, it seemed that Uncle Qin had caught the yellow skin back, and the yellow skin died with its mouth still biting the gold coin, so Uncle Qin killed the yellow skin. The gold coin was covered with mud, wiped clean with a cloth, shining brightly!

  I couldn't bear it anymore and hastily ran to Uncle Qin's house.

  As soon as I arrived at Qin Shu's home, I asked him directly without even catching my breath: "Where is that yellow-skinned monkey?" Qin Shu looked stunned and asked: "What yellow-skinned monkey?" I said the one you caught, with a gold coin in its mouth. Qin Shu asked while smoking his pipe: "Who told you I caught the yellow-skinned monkey? The yellow-skinned monkey is so fierce! How dare I catch it?" I was stunned: "You didn't catch it? Then why did everyone say you caught one?" Qin Shu said that's nonsense, purely a rumor!

  I don't know who to believe anymore.
