Chapter 23 Someone Caused Trouble

  Qin Feng casually gave Zhou Shan ten taels, without being the least bit concerned. For the first time, he was acting like those generous and carefree heroes of old, and in his heart, he felt a sense of relief and joy.

  It was already around 4 or 5 pm, and Qin Feng's stomach began to protest. He wandered around the market, bought some firewood, rice, oil, and salt, and then decided to buy a silly-looking rooster with colorful feathers. He planned to go home and cook his first meal by himself since coming to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

  "Boss, how much is this rooster?" Qin Feng said as he walked up to a street vendor.

  "Boss?" The old man was somewhat bewildered.

  "Haha......" Qin Feng smiled awkwardly.

  "Old man, 50 cents."

  "Bring one."

  Not far from here, a woman's crying voice came, "Give me some money and goods, bury my father..."

  "Haha, what's the point of burying this old thing? Save that money and I'll buy you a new outfit instead, wouldn't that be better?"

  "Big brother, don't talk to her too much, just take her away..."

  "Here's your money!" Qin Feng picked up the big rooster with sharp beak and claws, which was still dazed, and walked in the direction of the sound.

  He walked over and saw that it was a young girl wearing a white mourning dress, with a white cloth tied around her head in the rain, looking pitiful. Through the words of the people around him, Qin Feng only then knew that this girl was selling herself to bury her father.

  And the three market hooligans, seeing that the girl was pretty, had evil intentions. Taking advantage of her being alone, they wanted to force a deal on her. The girl couldn't agree to their shameless demands, so an argument ensued.

  "Ha ha, little girl, follow my three brothers and me, we'll make sure you eat well and drink spicy food." The first one, with a big mole on the left side of his face and a tuft of black hair on top of it, laughed loudly as he went to grab the girl's hand.

  "I won't go, I won't go... Save me, everyone save me..." The girl cried out.

  These three rascals are notorious rogues in the market, with a ruthless big brother backing them up, nobody dares to provoke them, and the onlookers are indifferent.

  "Ha ha, brothers lift it up and go!" Hei Mao Pu Pi laughed.

  "Hahaha......" The two remaining rascals also burst out laughing and said they would go rob someone.

  Qin Feng was not a selfless person, but this kind of thing was not his style. Moreover, he had just done that righteous deed, and his intention was not yet exhausted. He pushed open the people in front and rushed in, shouting: "Let go of that girl's hand!"

  "Hmm!" The three rough men were taken aback. Turning their heads, they saw Qin Feng standing alone, still holding a large rooster. The black-haired rough man looked around and didn't see anyone accompanying Qin Feng, so he sneered and said: "Damn it, whose pants weren't tied tightly, exposing you here!"

  "Hahaha……" The two accomplices of Hei Mao burst into loud laughter. They had seen many bookworms like Qin Feng, who were full of righteousness and morality, but a simple slap on the face would send them flying away. Hei Mao gave a signal with his eyes, and one of his accomplices walked over with an evil grin.

  Qin Feng's brain buzzed with anger and he kicked out with one foot, striking the newcomer in the abdomen.

  "Ah!" The rascal clutched his abdomen and fell to the ground, wailing in pain. He couldn't help but think: Weren't these scholars always talking about reason? How come today they started with their fists? This is cruel, it's killing me!

  Hei Mao didn't expect Qin Feng, who was usually gentle and refined, to be so ruthless and swift. "Let's take down this kid together and break his leg." The two of them charged forward.

  Qin Feng had nothing in his hand, and the rooster in his arms was suddenly frightened by the splash of water, letting out a loud "Cock-a-doodle-doo!" as it struggled with all its might. He quickly reacted, grabbing the rooster's two legs and hurling it at Hei Mao. Amidst the flying feathers, the rooster hit Hei Mao right in the face.

  "Ah!" Hei Mao covered his left eye and retreated, it turned out that the rooster's sharp beak had struck his eye.

  Qin Feng saw an opportunity and kicked out with one foot, directly hitting Hei Mao's lower body. Hei Mao immediately fell to the ground, clutching his crotch in a shrimp-like shape and crying out in pain.

  Ugh……, Qin Feng grunted in pain as he felt a sharp ache on his back. In a panic, he quickly turned around and was kicked again on the side of his leg. He stumbled backward from the kick, but the thug who had successfully launched a sneak attack showed no mercy, chasing after him and kicking again. Luckily, the kick landed on the goods Qin Feng was holding, causing rice, firewood, oil, and salt to scatter all over the ground, which inadvertently helped him avoid another blow.

  Qin Feng took advantage of the situation to counterattack, swinging the rooster at the man's face. Pī Pí was startled and hastily raised his hand to block it. But Qin Feng's move was a feint, and his foot was the real deal. With a smooth kick, he hit Pī Pí right in the crotch, and Pī Pí followed in Hei Mao's footsteps.

  Haha, one hit kill, Instructor Qin didn't deceive me. As for the kick in the crotch move, I had practiced it during military training with Qin Feng. At this moment, although I got hit a few times, all three thugs fell down.

  "Get out!" Qin Feng shouted, and saw that the rooster in his hand had already turned up its eyes. He thought to himself, "Rooster, although you've kicked the bucket, because of your contributions in taking down three rascals, the King of Hell will have to give you some face, and in the next life, you'll definitely be reincarnated as a human."

  "You, you little scoundrel... wait for me..." The three men with black hair slunk away into the crowd.

  The three horizontal gangs of rascals in Heimao were taken down by Qin Feng, and the onlookers immediately cheered and applauded.

  "Thank you, sir, for saving me." The girl, still in a state of shock, knelt down and bowed her head.

  "There's no need for that, being chivalrous and righteous is what people of our generation must do." Qin Feng was still not used to the ancient custom of kowtowing at every turn, and hastily threw the deceased rooster on the ground, helping her up.

  "Thank you, sir!" The girl hastily bowed again in her anxiety, her face full of gratitude.

  "Oh dear......" Qin Feng had never seen such an expression before, and felt quite embarrassed. He hastily pulled out a wad of money and said: "Little sister, take this money to give your father a proper burial. Is it enough? If not, I have more here!"

  The girl's eyes welled up with two lines of tears, and upon hearing this, she knelt down on the ground again, knocking her head and saying: "Sir, wuuu...".

  Qin Feng felt embarrassed and hastily said: "Don't cry, get up quickly."

  "This woman has met a kind-hearted person."

  "This man ran away with a splash of skin and also spent one yuan. This girl has the help of this man, she is lucky."

  "A whole string of coins, enough to bury five or six people." The crowd sighed.

  "Please wait a moment, sir. I'll bury my father with my sister and then follow you back." The girl said pitifully.

  "This...this isn't necessary, I'll give you some more money, if you have relatives, go seek refuge with them." Qin Feng said as he took out another string of cash.

  Wow! The people around were shocked, "This is really meeting a good person."

  "Who is this man? So benevolent!"

  "It's been many years since I've seen such a benevolent person."

  The moon, who had just said she was going to get up, heard the words and made another courtesy, her big eyes with tears, looking at Qin Feng with a sad expression, and said: "Master, you don't despise me, do you? I'm good at housework and needlework, I must be able to take care of Master..."

  Wow! And there are still people who stick to the old ways! Having arrived in the late Eastern Han dynasty, Qin Feng, who had blended into ancient society, was already somewhat of an official. His household couldn't be without servants and maids. If his roommates from later generations were to find out that he had such good fortune, tsk tsk... they would have killed him with envy! Qin Feng looked at Yue'er's appearance, and the more he looked, the more delighted he became.

  Yue'er didn't know what her fate was, and with a panicked heart, she said sorrowfully: "Master, Yue'er has no relatives left. If Master... then Yue'er can only die and follow my father!"

  "Oh! Alright. Ah! No, no, not good, not good! What I mean is, since I helped you bury your father and you don't have any relatives left, you can come stay with me for a while..." Qin Feng's way of thinking was still hard to directly express the idea of buying and selling."

  "Thank you, sir..." Yuer wiped away her tears and slightly bowed.

  "Old master, you're not old at all." Qin Feng muttered.

  The little girl heard what he said was interesting and finally showed a hint of a smile.

  "Ma De, that son of a bitch who dares to move me, get out here for Lao Zi!"

  A loud and fierce shout, the crowd surged forward, "Bao Cheng Xi is here!" Just now, these people still dared to gather around. At this moment, the crowd shouted loudly, and the birds and beasts scattered.
