Chapter 764: Reluctant to Leave

ng person. So she decided to seize her own happiness, and then there was this plot where the original owner almost died in a beast's mouth while picking fruit, making way for Yan Jia.When Sang learned..."A horrifying scream pierced the air, startling everyone around. The girl who had been boasting just moments before now clutched her bloody hand, her face pale and eyes red with pain."

"Xiaoxiao, are you alright"

"Xiaoxiao"

Two men spoke, one on each side.

"What are you all standing there for! Beat this woman up for me!"

At this point, she didn't claim the black cat in the other man's arms as hers. Instead, she encouraged the two men to seek revenge against him.

These two people glanced at each other, both seeing something in each other's eyes. After all, being able to afford a cat and raise it so well definitely meant they weren't short on food. The other person looked weak and vulnerable, just the right excuse to claim their companion was hurt by them, maybe they could swindle some food.

Just as the two were about to pounce, Zhao Jia led a group of people over and pointed at the three, saying:

It was the three of them who disrupted the market order and were even planning to steal our companions' cats.

The arrival of the patrol broke the current situation. The two men temporarily stopped their plotting and started to backstab each other, saying:

"You guys came just in time, they've been letting their cat hurt people and must compensate my friend!"

As soon as the man spoke, everyone around him cast scornful glances. They had said the cat was theirs before, but now they were claiming that it was the other person's cat that had been hurt. It was truly a case of black and white being reversed.

"Big brother, we're just here to exchange some things. We didn't come to cause trouble. It was them who let their cat hurt people!"

The girl held her injured hand, saying sadly and pitifully.

"What's wrong with you"

The patrol captain, after hearing the girl's words, did not rush to a conclusion but asked directly.

"Captain Qian, I know about this, and I watched the whole thing."

The stall owner, who hadn't yet gotten a chance to reply to the ripples, was the first to speak up.

Then you tell me!

A man pulled one hand out from his sleeve and pointed at the wounded girl, saying:

She said that the little girl's black cat in her arms was hers, and the girl said that this cat was raised by her, and then she snatched it. As a result, the black cat didn't recognize her at all and scratched her directly! She got hurt! Then her two companions were about to fight, and that's when you came.

The man gestured back and forth a few times and made everything clear. The onlookers nodded, proving that the man was right.

The girl, seeing that no one was paying attention to her, immediately became unhappy and said through gritted teeth:

"That black cat is my little Mimi. The fleshy pad on the inside of her left front paw has a black heart shape, very obvious."

Upon hearing this, Ripples' eyes flashed, but she wasn't in a hurry. She twirled the whirlwind once and directly brought it out, holding it before Captain Qian:

"Captain Qian, could you please check if my baby's paw has the mark she said it did"

Captain Qian nodded, he had actually already determined that it was the girl in black who was causing trouble. However, for fairness sake, he still checked, not just one paw, but all four paws, and then said:

"No, not even one paw, not all four paws."

The ripples raised a gust of wind, causing everyone around to look. Everyone remarked that this cat was well-kept, its fur smooth and sleek, not unlike the calm before a storm. It's evident that the owner has put in a lot of effort.

Immediately, the ripples put the whirlwind on the ground. The other party wasn't satisfied and let out an indignant "Meow!" Frozen meat pad!

"You said it's your kitten, you call its name and see if it follows you."

Ripples stood there calmly, looking like she was daring you to try something.

The girl was still not giving up. She called out to the black cat, which was walking on its tiptoes across the ice:

"Mimi! Mimi! Come here! I'm your owner! Did you forget me You were born by my hands!"

The girl persisted in calling out.

The whirlwind was ignored. He raised his paw and licked it, then turned his back to the girl and meowed at the ripples, "Meow" meaning, is that done

Ripples pursed her lips and said directly:

"Hurricane, come!"

Hearing the summons of its owner, Feng quickly walked towards Lianyi without looking back. Then with a powerful kick of its hind legs, it jumped straight into her arms and burrowed into her mink coat, only showing its head to look around. Now there was no need for Lianyi to say anything, who was the cat's owner was clear as day.

"Because my baby is a black cat, his surname is Hei, and his name is Feng. He used to have a cat collar but took it off when he grew up. I didn't expect to meet someone who was trying to scam us."

Ripple stroked the whirlwind's head playfully, and said with a harmless smile.

When those around heard this peculiar name, they couldn't help but stifle their laughter. Even Captain Qian twitched the corner of his mouth, but he still cleared his throat and addressed the three people opposite him:

"As it turns out, the cats don't belong to you. You not only disrupt market order but also try to steal from others. Please leave the trading market immediately."

"But I'm hurt!"

The girl retorted, unwilling to accept defeat.

"You deserved it! Who asked you to steal the cat!"

Zhao Jia directly retorted.

"Alright, let's get out of here!"

Captain Qian didn't have that kind of patience. He simply waved his hand, and the patrol officers behind him surrounded them. The three men had no choice but to leave dejectedly. However, as they left, the venomous look in their eyes towards Lian Ri almost became tangible. If looks could kill, Lian Ri would have been torn apart by now.

"Be careful, they might retaliate."

Captain Qian reminded.

Thank you, Captain, for being so impartial.

Ripples smiled and thanked him, casually slipping a pack of cigarettes into his pocket.

Captain Qian did not refuse, and then continued patrolling with his men.

Those who came to see the excitement, once the show ended, all went about their own business.

The man who had spoken earlier, explaining the situation, then stood up and asked:

"More herbs"

"Change!"

The ripples declared resolutely.

Liu Zili, who had been silent all along, stepped forward and asked:

What herbs do you have in your hands

"ginseng, white atractylodes, codonopsis pilosula, crocus sativus,"

The man rattled off a long list of names.

Liu Zili heard this and his eyes lit up. He immediately interrupted the other person and said:

"How much of each of those things do you have I need to see the actual herbs, otherwise I can't tell if they are effective."

"Okay, but you have to give me half a bag of grain as a deposit. Otherwise, if you look and don't buy, you'll be wasting my time."

Men seeing that these four were all well-fed, immediately put forward terms.

Liu Zi-zi was helpless and turned his gaze to Lian Yi. Lian Yi gently touched Xuan Feng's head and calmly said:

"Jiajia, give him half a bag. Consider it thanks for speaking up for Feng just now. If he tries to cheat us, I can always get my money back."

After finishing her words, she smiled sweetly at the man, causing him to shiver and immediately say:

"No, we wouldn't dare. We guard the herbs carefully and wouldn't eat them randomly for fear of getting sick. If we switch to food rations, at least we have a chance to survive."

"Here you go!"

Zhao Jia took out a grayish bag from her backpack and handed it to the other person. The other person opened a slit, reached in for a moment, then quickly pulled back and beckoned towards the distance. to ask.“My father taught me to read the *Three Character Classic*, *Thousand Character Classic*, and *Hundred Family Surnames*. He also taught me half of a book called *The Book of Male Virtue*.”Wen...
