Chapter 94 I'll Carry Sister Taozi On My Back
It was already the afternoon of the next day when they arrived at the county town. They didn't travel overnight, otherwise they could have arrived that night.
Yingrong Inn.
Su Tao arrived at the room with a look of surprise. The layout here was similar to that of Xie Yuntang's room.
Could it be that the inn was owned by the Xie family?
The Xie family was wealthy and powerful, so it wasn’t surprising.
But Su Tao was still envious and jealous. She asked directly, "Milksop, is this inn owned by your family?"
Xie Yuntang nodded, not guarding against Su Tao at all, and obediently revealed his family background, "I heard from my father that all the inns on this street are owned by him."
Xie Yuntang would feel uneasy in an unfamiliar environment, so Xie Qing and the others would usually make arrangements in advance.
A street of inns...
A monopoly business!
No wonder the Xie family was so rich.
Su Tao couldn't help but click her tongue. Now looking at Milksop, she felt that he was glowing, almost dazzling her.
"Milksop, are you afraid that someone will rob you when you walk on the street?"
She always felt that someone was going to kidnap her when she went out in the past, so when people asked her who her father was, she would say his name was Jiang Qiangzi.
No one had ever linked Jiang Qiangzi to Jiang Guo’an.
Xie Yuntang was a little confused. Su Tao gave him a tap, sat on the bed and shook her feet, saying peevishly, "Milksop, you’re really a landlord’s silly son."
She paused, blinked, and whispered, "When you grow up, can you give me a hundred taels of silver?"
Xie Yuntang nodded seriously without any hesitation. "Sister Taozi, I have some at home. I’ll give them to you when we get home."
He wouldn't give his money to just anyone, only to Sister Taozi.
Although Su Tao knew that he might agree, he agreed so readily that her mouth opened wide in disbelief.
In the end, she was "kind" and didn’t cheat him of his money. She tilted her head and said, "I said when you grow up. I don't want your money now."
"Then I'll save it for you and give it to you when I grow up." Xie Yuntang wasn’t unhappy at all that she asked him for money. Instead, he was very happy.
He was simply a walking ATM. Su Tao wanted to poke his forehead, but he was too tall. She hooked her finger at him. "Milksop, bend down."
Xie Yuntang knew what she was going to do, but he still bent down. The next moment, he got tapped on his head, and he smiled with his lips pursed.
The girl's delicate voice said, "Don't say that when you go out in the future, or you will be cheated out of your entire fortune."
"Except for me, everyone is a bad person. Don't say that to anyone, understand?"
Su Tao felt that she was indeed thick-skinned, having lied through her teeth. However, it was true that she didn’t cheat Milksop of anything. At most, she ate his food.
Whatever Sister Taozi said was right, so Xie Yuntang nodded obediently. "Okay."
Listening to the lively sounds of acrobatics outside, he said again, "Sister Taozi, do you want to see the acrobats perform? I've seen an acrobatics performance in the county once, and it was pretty good."
"And the lotus-flavored chicken, it's tender, aromatic, and so delicious."
It had to be said that he had grasped Su Tao's "lifeline".
Su Tao's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Then you treat me to it. Tell your father that you want to go out and play."
"Okay."
Xie Yuntang nodded, then left the room, and came back after a while. He said happily, "Dad agreed, but asked Uncle Xu to take us."
Su Tao didn't care who took them out, as long as they could eat. Besides, it was indeed unsafe for two children to go out alone.
She asked worriedly, "Let's go then. Do you have money?"
"I do. My father gave it to me just now."
Xie Yuntang took out the purse from his clothes, and stuffed it into her hand. Then, he said, "Sister Taozi, buy whatever you want to eat."
Su Tao happily took it, put it on her chest, and said with a somewhat obscene smile, "I'll keep it for you and give it back to you when we come back."
It shouldn't be a problem to buy some food.
Uncle Xu was a sturdy bearded man, probably a guard at the inn.
Maybe because Xie Qing had instructed him beforehand, Uncle Xu didn't follow them very closely. He kept a distance of two or three steps behind them. Su Tao and Xie Yuntang didn’t feel awkward, and were talking cheerfully.
They hadn't walked even halfway down the street, but the two of them already had a lot of food in their hands.
Su Tao hadn't planned on buying everything, but Xie Yuntang asked her if she wanted to eat anything whenever he passed by a stall.
Since he asked that question, of course she wanted to eat everything. Ahem, it would be a waste not to eat.
After eating almost everything, the two squeezed into the crowd to watch the acrobats.
"Sister Taozi, come here and watch. There are fewer people here."
Xie Yuntang was standing at the edge of the acrobats, and he had left a spot in front for Su Tao. Just as Su Tao was about to go over, a group of children came over, and Xie Yuntang was almost knocked down.
Fortunately, Su Tao was quick and supported him. She then glared at the brats in front of her, but they were all taller than her. She definitely was no match for them.
At times like this, she had to endure.
Just as she was about to lead Milksop to another spot, she heard Milksop’s serious voice. "I was here first, and you took our place. Please move aside."
The children turned their heads to look at him, glanced up and down, and finally landed their gazes on his clothes.
They were made of fine fabric, and definitely not the kind worn by ordinary people.
They hesitated for a moment, but still moved aside.
After they left, Su Tao looked at Xie Yuntang's tense little face in surprise. "Milksop, you’re actually angry? Why are you never angry with me?"
Xie Yuntang was originally very angry, but when he heard her say that, his face softened. Feeling a little embarrassed, he softly explained, "They took our place. Sister Taozi, you stand in front."
Su Tao stood in front, and when she wanted to say something, the acrobats started performing, and she was immediately attracted.
At the climax of the performance, an acrobat spit fire into the crowd, causing quite a stir. The crowd started pushing each other.
Someone pushed Su Tao, and she fell into Milksop's arms. A pain shot through her.
Su Tao cried out, "Milksop, is your body made of iron? It's so hard!"
Xie Yuntang's cheeks flushed, but he still stretched out his hand to protect her. "Sister Taozi, are you okay?"
At this time, Su Tao cried out again, her voice laced with slight pain, "Who stepped on my foot? Milksop, help me out quickly."
When Xie Yuntang heard this, his face became anxious, and he hurriedly helped her out. Su Tao was really stepped on hard, and she didn't dare to touch the ground with her foot, as it hurt when she did.
"Ouch."
"Sister Taozi, does it hurt? I'll take you to see a physician."
Xie Yuntang squatted down quickly and said anxiously, "Sister Taozi, I'll carry you on my back."
"With your build, how are you supposed to carry me? Ouch..."
Su Tao felt that the skin at the back of her foot might have been broken because she felt a stinging pain.
Who the hell stepped on her so hard?
Xie Yuntang said stubbornly, "Sister Taozi, I can carry you. I mean it. Hop up, I’ll carry you to see the physician."
"Young Master, why don’t you let me carry her?" Uncle Xu interrupted.
Xie Yuntang shook his head and refused, "I’ll carry Sister Taozi on my back."
Men and women should keep their distance. He couldn’t allow other people to carry Sister Taozi.
Sister Taozi's reputation would be tarnished.
