The first man's reaction speed was quite fast, and Mu Anxiao felt very displeased when he interrupted her. However, it turned out that in Mu Anxiao's memory, this man had indeed given her money before, although his words at the time were not pleasant.
And the money he gave was only two copper coins.
Thinking of those two copper coins, she recalled the days she spent squatting by the city gate. It seemed only he had shown her charity, and she considered him half her benefactor.
So, she replied, "I am a beggar."
"You are a beggar, but you wear these clothes," the first man pointed at Mu Anxiao's attire, "Who are you trying to fool?"
At that time, this man's words to Mu Anxiao were quite sharp, saying that she only deserved two copper coins and only deserved to beg at the city gate. In short, his tone was completely filled with disdain for her.
Of course, she could understand. She was a beggar, and it was natural to be looked down upon, so she had never taken his words to heart and had long forgotten them. Hearing him say that now, her memory was somewhat awakened. Especially seeing his arrogant expression, she suddenly felt even more displeased.
And this displeasure was completely uncontrollable.
"I've turned my life around, what's wrong with that?" she said.
"Turned your life around?" the first man laughed. "You, a broke beggar, want to turn your life around? I get it." After speaking, he looked down at the young man.
Mu Anxiao followed the first man's gaze and looked down at the young man, asking, "What do you mean by that?" She had a bad feeling.
The first man snorted coldly, looked up at the bamboo basket behind Mu Anxiao, and said, "You robbed him."
"..." Mu Anxiao was truly stunned.
Upon hearing this, the second man, thinking about the situation in the forest, quickly stepped forward, squatted down, and touched the young man's nostrils. He breathed a sigh of relief, "He's alive."
"..." Mu Anxiao's mouth twitched upon hearing the second man's words.
The second man stood up, "It seems it wasn't a murder for money, just simple robbery."
"This is no fun for you guys," Mu Anxiao was indignant at being wrongly accused, looking at both the first and second men.
The third man said, "Let's send him to the county office."
"No," the fourth man interrupted.
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao thought she had finally met someone reasonable and said, "Esteemed brother, you believe me."
Conversely, the fourth man did not look at Mu Anxiao at all and continued, "We don't have a county office here; we can only send him to the county office a hundred miles away."
"Does it have to be this serious?" Mu Anxiao felt helpless about the fourth man's arrangement.
Then, the fourth man finally shifted his gaze to Mu Anxiao's face, "You stole, we arrest, what's so serious about it?"
"I saved him," Mu Anxiao said excitedly, pointing at the young man.
The first man snorted coldly, "You, a dirty fellow who went from beggar to thief, claim you saved him? Who are you fooling?"
"I didn't..."
"Enough," the first man didn't want to hear Mu Anxiao speak further. He turned to the burly third man and said, "Carry him. We'll take him home first, then we'll take her to the county office."
"..."
Mu Anxiao hated people who didn't listen to others and liked to attribute stories and identities to them. Now, she had encountered just that.
Thinking they wouldn't listen to her anyway, she stopped talking and secretly started thinking of a plan.
A quarter of an hour later.
The second and fourth men walked on either side of Mu Anxiao. Mu Anxiao ignored them and stared at the third and first men walking ahead, sighing continuously.
At the same time, Feng Qishi, who had come out from the Mu family to look for Mu Anxiao, walked towards them. Seeing Mu Anxiao almost surrounded by four men, he frowned, "Silly Mu."
The third man, exhausted, stopped and looked at the young man on his back, panting, "This guy is quite heavy."
The first man said, "You're so strong, and you're already tired from walking this little distance." As he spoke, he glanced at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao glared at the first man, then looked at the fourth and second men on either side, remaining silent.
Just then, Feng Qishi stopped in front of the first man and asked, "What's going on?" He deliberately glanced at Mu Anxiao.
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Qishi.
The first man sneered, "Who are you?"
"She's mine," Feng Qishi pointed at Mu Anxiao and then asked, "What are you doing?"
The first man was not intimidated by Feng Qishi and snorted arrogantly, "You're her young master, aren't you? I'm telling you, she's a thief, and we're helping you, young master." He patted Feng Qishi's shoulder.
Seeing the first man's arrogant demeanor, Feng Qishi was also displeased. "Is that so? Helping me." As he spoke, he brushed his shoulder.
The first man glanced at Feng Qishi's shoulder and said, "You're disgusted by me."
Feng Qishi looked down at the first man, who was half a head shorter than him, and said, "By the way, how do you know my person stole your belongings?"
"She didn't steal my things," the first man retorted righteously.
"Didn't steal..." Feng Qishi nodded, "I see, you are framing her." He didn't notice the young man being carried by the third man at all.
The first man squinted his eyes, "She stole his things." He pointed at the third man.
Feng Qishi followed the first man's finger, turned his head to look at the third man's face, and chuckled.
Mu Anxiao found Feng Qishi's erratic behavior utterly speechless.
Hearing Feng Qishi's 'ungenerous' laughter, the third man was angered, "Brat, what are you laughing at?"
"..." Feng Qishi hated being called 'brat' the most. His face immediately turned cold, "Call me Young Master."
Feng Qishi's expression changed so quickly that Mu Anxiao was startled. "..." Knowing her status was not high enough, she remained silent.
The third man was startled and his attitude clearly softened, "What are you laughing about?" he repeated.
Feng Qishi said, "Call me Young Master."
"..." The third man knew Feng Qishi was not someone to be trifled with, so he complied, "Young Master, what are you laughing about?" His attitude became more polite.
Feng Qishi chuckled, "With her small frame, she could steal your things? What a joke." He tilted his chin.
The third man said, "It wasn't me, it was him." He shifted his gaze.
Feng Qishi spat out the word, "Him?" He took a step forward, looked at the young man on the third man's back, and made a tsk sound.
"..." Mu Anxiao was too lazy to expose Feng Qishi and continued to remain silent.
The first man asked, "What is it?" He was also somewhat startled by Feng Qishi's previous attitude, and his tone had clearly softened.
Feng Qishi did not immediately respond to the first man but instead fixed his gaze on Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao was taken aback, and her hair was blown by the wind.
