210 – The Vagrancy of Yuanyuan and Manman (2)
“Yah, whose child is this? Looks like a little gongzi from an influential family in ancient times!”
“His wooden face is so adorable!”
“Yes, it’s cute!”
……
Qin Ruiqi, as if unaware of it, came to the square and stood at the front of the group. After thinking about it, he first practiced a set of Meteor Fists taught by his Old Dad.
At the beginning, the old men and old women in the square saw him standing there gesticulating with hands and feet and treated it as a child horsing around. After watching for a while, they found that every gesture and motion of his fists were smooth and powerful. Evidently, it was not a mere form. They could not help but look straight and their movements slowed down as they earnestly watched.
After Qin Ruiqi completed the set of boxing, he politely bowed to the crowd with his hand cupped in the other, “Ruiqi accidentally separated from his family. If grandpas and grandmas think that this set of boxing is good, please praise it with tips for those who have money, and personal tips for those who have no money. Thank you very much!”
Most people were suspicious of his statement. But if the child was trying to cheat money, it didn’t feel like it. He had a good temperament and didn’t look like an ordinary child.
There was a doubt in Qin Ruiqi’s eyes: could it be that the set of boxing just now wasn’t well performed?
At this time, a young man in his thirties, dressed in sportswear, came briskly with a ruffian smile and sweat on his face. He threw the towel in his hand and joked, “Little guy, your skill seems uncommon. Why don’t we compare? If you win, I’ll give you money tips. How about that?”
An old lady recognized that this man was Wang Kun, a veteran army who often ran in the morning nearby and now worked as the Head of Security of a company. She laughed as she joked, “You have the nerve to bully a child.”
Qin Ruiqi nodded with a serious face, “Alright, please.”
Wang Kun didn’t think that the child came here to cheat money. He just thought that this little guy looked like he was only seven or eight years old and that his wooden face was very interesting. That’s why, he teased. He immediately nodded with a faint smile, “Come.”
All the old men and old women thought it was very funny and heckled with the sound of laughter.
Wang Kun looked at the height of the child which was less than his waist, and said with a smile, “You move first?”
Qin Ruiqi saw the other party’s contempt and didn’t mind it. With a slight nod, he took the lead in attacking the other party’s abdomen.
Wang Kun laughed merrily as he casually dodged to the side. Unexpectedly, the child suddenly changed his move. He didn’t see the opponent’s movement at all, so his wrist was clamped down. The opponent’s hand was too small to hold his whole wrist, but the strength was not small. He said in his heart that it was not good. The next second, a force suddenly pulled him forward. Before he had time to react, there was a flash of light and then his buttock hurt. To his surprise, he was made to fall on the ground by the child with a move similar to a shoulder throw.
Wang Kun was shocked to see a calm looking child. He couldn’t believe that he was thrown by a child.
Qin Ruiqi released his hand and then cupped his hands as he said, “You let me win.”
The crowd was in an uproar, so awed that one couldn’t speak.
“Wang Kun’er, you did it on purpose?” An old man looked suspicious.
Wang Kun put away the expression on his face and got up from the ground. He laughed hollowly as he patted the little guy’s small shoulder, “Uncle won’t fight with you.”
Then he took his wallet out of his pocket, took out a 50 bill and handed it to the child, “Treat you breakfast.” He had been in the army for nearly ten years. He couldn’t be said to be ever-victorious, but he also wouldn’t be thrown down by a seven or eight year old child. He was sure that the child had a strange kungfu. He just laughed to protect the child. Since the child had no relation to him, he couldn’t do much. He waved his hand to the child and jogged away.
None of the old men and old women thought that Wang Kun was really thrown by a child. They only thought that he was pretending to be defeated in order to help the child who was separated from his family.
Qin Ruiqi recognized the “50” on the bill, but he didn’t know how much silver the “50” was equivalent to in his original world. Hence, his conclusion was: more money, the better.
“White Spot, you do it too.”
White Spot was indeed the “dog” Qin Mian had seen in his previous life. It had been in this world for a period of time before and knew that its enormous real form could easily cause panic. At this time, it was only the size of an adult dog. It first stood upright and then did a handstand. After it did a tap dance, it straightened up and bowed toward the crowd with its two forelegs folded in front of its chest.
The old men and old women were immediately amused. They all generously tipped; some tipped 5 and some 10.
An old lady kindly said, “Little guy, do you want Grandma to take you to the police station and ask the police uncle to help you find your family?”
Qin Ruiqi knew that the police station was the same place as the government office, but he thought that it was better not to run around and wait for the two fathers to find him. After refusing, he said his thanks and left with a pile of change.
His reaction had made many people think that he was instigated to trick. Seeing that he would soon go far away, they could only let go of the matter.
Qin Ruiqi counted the money he earned, which was 205 in total. He successfully bought two char siu buns at a breakfast shop. After a lot of effort, he found a roast duck shop and bought two roast ducks for White Spot. Wolves couldn’t eat cooked food, but White Spot was also a cultivator, so it was alright to eat cooked food.
It’s a bit expensive, Qin Ruiqi thought silently.
He looked behind him very casually. A man sneakily stalked him from the square.
Seeing that he was found out, the middle-aged man hesitated for two seconds before he put on a smile, walked over quickly, and kindly asked, “Little friend, why are you alone? Where are your parents?”
“Awoo!” White Spot threateningly looked at him and bared its teeth.
The man was frightened but gave Qin Ruiqi a gentle smile. “Little friend, Uncle bears no malice. Uncle saw you have no money to eat, so Uncle wants to help you.”
White Spot reminded Qin Ruiqi in a low voice, “Don’t believe him. He must be a human trafficker.”
Qin Ruiqi pressed down White Spot’s head and motioned it to squat down. He looked at the man with an ignorant look, “Really?”
The middle-aged man was overjoyed and beckoned, “Come with me. I’ll take you to eat a sumptuous meal.”
Qin Ruiqi nodded and walked over. Suddenly, he grabbed the man’s right arm with both hands, pushed his feet on the man’s back and climbed up. Then, he pressed down and easily pushed the man to the ground. At the same time, he locked the man’s other arm. With two cracking sounds, the man’s arms dislocated from his shoulder blades.
The man screamed and blood oozed out of his chin. Because his arms couldn’t work, he couldn’t get up on the ground, cutting a sorry figure. He stared at Qin Ruiqi resentfully, “Bad boy, you!”
Qin Ruiqi took out a gel pen and a small notebook from his sleeve pocket. He left a note of “human trafficker” on the man’s back, beckoned to White Spot, and quickly left.
Passers-by saw the note on the man’s back and called the police. The police station nearby quickly sent someone over and took the man back to check. It turned out, he was a human trafficker. Today, he just came from other places, wanting to avoid the limelight, but didn’t expect that he went to the road of ruin!
Meanwhile, in the neighboring city, Lei Ruilin and Golden Fur heaved a big sigh in the same manner.
“Kruk-kruk…” The sound came out from inside the belly. Lei Ruilin helplessly scratched his head, “I’m so hungry.”
The contents of his storage bracelet were almost the same as in Qin Ruilin’s. There were two juicy peaches; he and Golden Fur ate one each, but it didn’t curb their hunger at all. He knew that food could only be obtained in places with many people, but the problem was that Golden Fur was too big. In the original world, many people were afraid of Golden Fur, and now it’s the same in this strange world. If he left Golden Fur here alone, he would not be at ease.
“Golden Fur, if only you could get smaller, that’d be great.”
“Wu?” Golden Fur tilted its head and looked at him.
A streak of golden light flashed. Lei Ruilin rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Golden Fur actually became smaller. It used to be about 1000 Jin, but now it was only about 100 Jin at most. Although it was still a little big, it was much smaller than the real form.
“Haha, great! Let’s go. Let’s find something to eat.”
Lei Ruilin thought for a moment before he took out a leash from the storage bracelet and tied it to Golden Fur’s neck. A human child and a bear left the woods together and walked along the road.
A royal blue SUV whistled past and then suddenly went backward. It stopped beside Lei Ruilin. When the car window was pressed down, a young man with blonde hair poked his head out and looked at Golden Fur with wide eyes. “Damn! Isn’t this a bear?”
Lei Ruilin glanced at him and went on.
“The golden fur all over its body is so beautiful. It’s like a golden wave when wind blows it!” Another young man pushed past and made that exclamation.
“Say, have you prepared the gift for Young Master Liu’s birthday next month?” The young man with blond hair stared at the Golden Bear and asked pointedly.
A young man in the driver’s seat had an understanding look on his face. He pointed his chin toward Golden Fur. “Yunzhao, do you want to…”
The blond-haired young man nodded. It was unknown what he was thinking as he looked complacent.
Lei Ruilin was alert when he heard the approaching footsteps.
Lu Yunzhao and the other two blocked the child’s exit and stood a little far in case the brown bear attacked them.
“Kid, where are your family’s adults?”
Lei Ruilin asked with a smile, “What noble business does big brother have?”
Lu Yunzhao said, “Take me to your parents. As long as your family’s adults are willing to sell me this bear, I can give them a lot of money, enough to buy a lot of things. Do you understand?”
Light flashed past Lei Ruilin’s eyes, “Not selling.”
Lu Yunzhao frowned, a little impatient, “You, an underaged kid, can’t decide on this. Take me to your family’s adults at once.”
“Golden Fur is a member of our family. It’s not for sale.” Lei Ruiqi didn’t want to talk more nonsense with him and planned to bypass them to leave.
“Wait!” Lu Yunzhao reached for him.
Lei Ruilin’s figure flashed and started to run at once, “Golden Fur, run!”
