Chapter 23: Beating Up the Thugs

Su Luoluo searched everywhere but couldn’t find the couple.

She had no choice but to go to the counter and ask the clerk.

Well, she wouldn’t have known otherwise, but the couple had already left.

Su Luoluo was stunned.

Didn’t they say they were going to recognize their biological daughter?

How could they just leave?

Her good fortune just flew away.

How could they be parents and just leave like that? It was so heartless and unfeeling.

Even if they had to leave, they should have left her some money. Didn’t they know she was poor?

Sure enough, relying on mountains will cause the mountains to collapse, relying on people will cause people to run away. Money still needs to be earned by oneself.

The only consolation was that they paid the bill, so she didn’t have to pay. Otherwise, she would have cursed their ancestors for eighteen generations.

Su Luoluo carried her backpack, left the restaurant, and walked towards Guang’an Pharmacy.

At the restaurant entrance, she brushed shoulders with a fashionable woman wearing a goose-yellow long dress, her hair tied back with a butterfly hair clip.

Guang’an Pharmacy.

“Comrade Su, have you dug up any treasures again?”

Seeing Su Luoluo, Boss Cai’s eyes flashed with surprise, and he walked over from the medicine cabinet with a smile.

“No, just some ordinary herbs. See how much they’re worth?”

Su Luoluo put down her backpack.

A gleam flashed in Boss Cai’s eyes. Remembering the last time he had been outdone by Su Luoluo, he was about to haggle the price down.

“Boss Cai, we have a long-term cooperation, and we should focus on mutual benefit and win-win results.”

Su Luoluo seemed to see through Boss Cai’s intentions and patted his arm.

“The same price as before, fifty.”

Boss Cai swallowed the words he was about to say and changed his mind.

Su Luoluo took out the herbs from her backpack.

“Comrade Su, what difficulties have you encountered at home?”

Boss Cai looked at Su Luoluo suspiciously.

Logically, she had earned so much money yesterday, she shouldn’t be so eager to earn these few tens of yuan today.

“My family is poor, there’s no other way.”

Su Luoluo answered as a matter of course.

This left Boss Cai speechless for a moment.

Su Luoluo was very carefree, she took the money and turned to leave.

As soon as Su Luoluo walked out, she was stopped by four idle hooligans.

A sharp knife flashed before Su Luoluo’s eyes.

“Don’t want to die, come with us.”

The leader of the thugs laughed arrogantly.

Not far away, a handsome and ruffian-like man sitting in a noodle shop eating noodles happened to see this scene. He was so scared that he almost fell off the long bench and couldn’t help but let out a curse, “Damn!”

“What’s wrong with you?”

Fu Bojing looked at Lu Xunye in confusion.

“Why do I keep seeing that ugly monster everywhere? Could it be that she really has a crush on my handsome face and has been secretly following me? That’s too perverted. Sigh, it’s too hard for me, being too handsome is a torment.”

Lu Xunye pointed towards Su Luoluo.

Fu Yichen, who was eating noodles with gusto, stopped his movements, turned his head, and looked in the direction Lu Xunye pointed.

He saw Su Luoluo surrounded by several thugs.

Su Luoluo didn’t resist much, looked at the knife in front of her, and followed the four thugs into a small alley.

Seeing Su Luoluo following those men who didn’t look like good people into the alley, Fu Bojing frowned heavily.

Fu Yichen put down his chopsticks with a “pop”.

Lu Xunye looked at his friend in surprise.

Fu Yichen ” swoosh ” stood up, the end of the long bench lightened, losing its balance, Lu Xunye almost fell head over heels, but he reacted quickly and stood up, only the bench fell to the ground.

Fu Yichen strode towards the alley.

“Damn, Old Fu, are you going to rescue the ugly girl? Do you really have some strange fetish, liking that ugly girl?”

Lu Xunye saw the direction Fu Yichen was going and shouted.

A sharp gaze swept over.

Accompanied by two impatient words, “Shut up.”

Lu Xunye pulled Fu Bojing aside, his face wrinkled, “You say, Old Fu, wouldn’t he be serious? She’s so ugly, he can do it, and he’s not afraid of having nightmares at night.”

Fu Bojing glanced at Lu Xunye, pushed his hand away, and walked towards Fu Yichen.

In the alley, the passage was narrow, with not only sewage and garbage, but also dead rats, and the air was filled with a foul smell.

Four thugs blocked the alley entrance.

“This is far from the police station, even if you shout your throat out, no one will come to save you.”

The leader of the thugs wore a gaudy shirt and bell-bottom pants. He shook the knife in his hand and approached Su Luoluo.

“…” Su Luoluo, this line is so familiar.

“If you don’t want to die, be sensible and hand over all your money.”

The thug leader threatened.

“No money.”

Su Luoluo answered without hesitation.

She was so poor she wanted to rob someone.

The fifty yuan in her pocket wasn’t even enough for her to eat a bowl of beef noodles in the past, and they actually wanted to rob her.

“Hey, ugly monster, I saw you take money from the pharmacy owner with my own eyes. Dare to lie to me, you’re looking for death!”

The thug leader sneered, his expression ferocious, and the knife in his hand stabbed towards Su Luoluo’s face, trying to intimidate her.

Unexpectedly, Su Luoluo grabbed his arm halfway, and she didn’t know what acupoint she pressed, but the thug leader felt a numbness in his hand and lost his feeling.

With a “bang”, the knife in his hand fell to the ground.

The thug leader looked at Su Luoluo in disbelief.

Su Luoluo curled her red lips and revealed a smile, and then, she slapped the gangster leader on the face, “First, I don’t call your mother hello.”

“Pa” another slap landed on both cheeks of the gangster.

“Second, I’m not called ‘ugly monster’!”

Su Luoluo spoke lightly.

The three younger brothers, seeing their boss being slapped twice, were dumbfounded.

“I’ll kill you.”

The thug leader was furious, and with his free hand, he punched Su Luoluo.

Su Luoluo moved faster, kicking the thug leader in the crotch.

Instantaneously, the chicken flew and the eggs were broken!

“Ah!”

The thug leader screamed, clutching his crotch, “咚”, he knelt on the ground.

Lu Xunye, who was peeking at the entrance of the alley, only felt a chill in his crotch.

They didn’t need to take action at all.

The ugly monster was a shrew!

The three younger brothers came to their senses and rushed towards Su Luoluo.

Su Luoluo took out a packet of something from her pocket and threw it at the three men.

Powder drifted down.

Even the thug leader was sprinkled with it.

The exposed skin of the thugs developed a dense rash, and they itched terribly, constantly scratching themselves, but nothing was enough. The itch was like it emanated from their bones, like scratching through a layer of skin, extremely torturous.

Su Luoluo’s master in her previous life was a ghost doctor, and she never lacked such strange things.

She knew that information was backward in this era, and it wasn’t that safe. She had to go out to do business, so she made some self-defense things in advance to prevent people from targeting her.

The three younger brothers didn’t care about teaching Su Luoluo a lesson anymore, their hands scratching their skin.

The thug leader was also scratching.

One of the younger brothers, even though his body itched, still had to help their boss up.

Su Luoluo picked up the knife on the ground and patted the thug leader’s face with it.

The thug leader almost peed his pants, he didn’t dare to scratch anymore, and didn’t dare to move, begging for mercy, “Comrade, I was wrong, I have an eighty-year-old mother above and a one-year-old child to support below, my family can’t be without me, as long as you spare me, I, Liu Bo’er, will listen to your orders from now on.”

“Your name is Liu Bo’er?”

Su Luoluo twitched her mouth.

She remembered the sentence “I, Long Aotian, swear to protect Liu Bo’er”, and almost burst out laughing.

Liu Bo’er nodded without understanding.

Su Luoluo turned to the man next to Liu Bo’er, “You wouldn’t be called Long Aotian, would you?”
