Chapter 36 - Reunion

"Hmph, no way. If I pity you, who would pity us? If you don't obediently take it out, then don't blame us for being impolite, laozi's patience is limited. " A man said fiercely.

The other said impatiently, "Don't waste your breath with her. We can just snatch her away. I don't believe that a little girl like her can do anything to us."

Mo Xiao Yan fearfully hugged the bag of silver tightly. Right now, all he could do was to rely on his luck.

Therefore, Mo Xiao Yan raised his voice and shouted with all his might: "Help, help! Someone is trying to kill us!"

Just as he shouted, one of the men immediately used his hand to cover Mo Xiao Yan's mouth.

"Ol 'Three, hurry up and grab the silver taels from the girl's arms. Take advantage of the moment when no one is around to make a move." The man ordered in a flustered manner.

Mo Xiao Yan was germaphobic, and when the man used his hands to cover her mouth, Mo Xiao Yan felt so disgusted that he was about to puke.

But now that his life and money were being threatened, he did not think about it anymore. Seeing the silver being snatched away, Mo Xiao Yan felt helpless.

Just as they were about to run after receiving the silver coins, a young man in white clothes pointed at their acupoints with a speed so fast that they could not be seen.

Mo Xiao Yan was naturally very happy to see that someone had finally saved him, and was also very grateful to that person.

The youth took the silver and handed it over to Mo Xiao Yan, and said coldly: "When you're alone outside, it's best if your money is not leaked out easily, or else you will bring disaster upon yourself. "I just happened to see it today. I might not even have the luck to see it in the future."

Mo Xiao Yan looked at the youth in front of him. He felt that he was very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he just couldn't recall where.

Since the person in front of him had saved him, Mo Xiao Yan had to thank him as well out of politeness.

He looked at the people who were frozen and said, "Thank you so much for what you did just now. If you didn't help me, perhaps the silver I earned would have been taken away by them."

"Mm, I was just passing by, that's all. In the future, young lady, you should be more alert when you go out by yourself."

After saying that, without waiting for Mo Xiao Yan to finish speaking, the youth left, leaving Mo Xiao Yan in a daze.

When he suddenly regained his senses and saw the few motionless people beside him, he ran as fast as he could to the place where there were many people.

Mo Xiao Yan looked around and saw a place that sold pork. It had been a few days since he last ate meat, and every day, he ate food that was not oily. Seeing that Mo Xiao Yan was no longer able to walk on the road, he went to buy meat first.

"Uncle, how much is this pork?" Mo Xiao Yan walked closer to ask.

"Little girl, are you going to be fat or skinny?"

Mo Xiao Yan, a soul that came from the modern world, would definitely like to eat meat that's thin. The ancients seemed to like to eat meat that's fat, especially for the poor families, because fat meat is extremely oily, so they all thought it was delicious.

He pointed at the meat and asked, "How much is this meat?"

"Oh, you're thinner, so it's cheaper. Ten gold coins for a catty, and fifteen gold coins for a catty." The pork seller said.

"Then give me a kilogram of fat."

Hearing that Mo Xiao Yan wanted two catties, the owner was naturally happy. He cut it skillfully with a knife, weighed it, and gave it to Mo Xiao Yan.

This time, Mo Xiao Yan had learnt his lesson, and did not dare to show off his silver, only reaching into the bag to slowly search for coins.

There was a total of 25 copper coins. Mo Xiao Yan fumbled for a long time before he was able to count them, he embarrassedly smiled and handed the copper coins over to the owner.
