Chapter 556: Brat

Translator: Henyee Translations      Editor: Henyee Translations

Clear Spring Town was actually a very small town.

It was said that during a great drought one year, there was no water for dozens of miles.

All the crops died in the fields. When a certain family arrived, they were already parched.

Just as the family thought that they were doomed, they suddenly realized that there was some water on a few stones.

The family was overjoyed. They quickly moved the stone away and dug another pit with something.

Sure enough, after the water was dug out, this family was saved.

Later on, many people rushed over after hearing the news and settled down near this spring.

Gradually, after several generations, Clear Spring Town was formed.

The town was built of limestone, mainly to keep out the damp.

As she stepped on the limestone slab, Li Xiaoran felt a sense of a.s.surance.

It was almost evening, so the group stayed at the only inn in town.

After Shu Ruyue and Wu Qinghe put their luggage away, they went out to stroll around.

Because they had agreed to meet at the Spring Water Chicken Restaurant in town in a while, they weren’t worried that the two of them would get lost.

After Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng washed up, they strolled along the streets of Spring Water Town as well.

Li Xiaoran said, “The air here is much moister than that of the capital. I feel much more relaxed walking on the streets here!”

Luo Cheng also felt that the climate here was very different from that in the capital.

“No wonder there was a spring here during the drought back then. There must be a reason.”

As they walked, they chatted.

“I’m gonna beat you to death. You’re so young, but you’re already like this. What will become of you grow up in the future?! Although I, Liu Cuifeng, haven’t studied much, at least I know what a person’s bottom line is. I won’t do any business today. I’m gonna teach you a lesson!” At this moment, a feisty scolding came from an alley ahead.

Before long, a young boy ran out of the alley.

Then, a woman with a broom in her hand chased after him.

“Young brat, stop right there if you dare!”

“I’m not stopping. If you have the ability, catch up to me!” After the brat in front ran a few steps, he grimaced at the woman behind him before continuing to run forward.

Because he ran quickly, the young man didn’t notice the two people who had appeared in front of him.

Seeing that he was about to run into Li Xiaoran, Luo Cheng quickly walked

forward and grabbed the young man.

“Let go of me!” the young man shouted when he saw that someone had grabbed him.

Seeing that he didn’t have the strength to break free from Luo Cheng’s grasp, the young man opened his mouth to bite him.

Seeing this, the woman behind immediately warned loudly, “Young brat, don’t you dare!”

But the kid ignored her and reached for Luo Cheng’s wrist.

Luo Cheng was a martial artist, so how could he be bitten by a brat?

Before the boy could bite his wrist, Luo Cheng had already pinched the boy’s cheek tightly with his other hand, preventing him from moving.

At this moment, the woman also rushed over. When she saw that her brat had been restrained, she thanked him politely.

“Thank you for your help! My son is too rash and must have offended you.

Please forgive him!”

Luo Cheng nodded, then tapped the kid’s acupoints and let go of him.

When thw brat saw this, he immediately wanted to run, but his legs felt like they weighed a thousand pounds and he couldn’t move them at all.

“What’s going on? Mother, why can’t I run?!” the boy shouted in fear.

“What are you shouting for? Your acupoints have been tapped. Young brat, I’ve already told you that there’s always someone more capable than you. Do you think you can outrun everyone just because you can outrun my broom? You’re overestimating yourself!” The woman took the opportunity to educate her son.

Li Xiaoran walked over and looked at the brat in front of her with interest.

“You seem very unconvinced! Kid, you think you’re very smart, right?! Why don’t we compete?!”

The young boy said aggressively, “Fine, let’s compete. What do you want to compete in?”

When Li Xiaoran saw the other party’s confident expression, she smiled.

“Since you’re so smart, we naturally have to compete in terms of intelligence. How about this? I’ll ask three questions. If you answer two correctly, I can let him unseal your acupoints!”

The young man said confidently, “Alright, I agree. You can ask the questions now! ”

Seeing that this kid had fallen into her trap, Li Xiaoran said, “In what situation is five greater than zero, zero greater than two, and two greater than five?” As soon as this question was asked, the boy was dumbfounded.

The others who were watching immediately pondered over it as well.

However, no matter how everyone thought about it, they felt that this question was impossible!

“You must have made a mistake. How can there be a situation where five greater than zero, zero greater than two, and two greater than five?!” The young man thought about it for a long time, but he couldn’t figure out the answer.

Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “No, there’s an answer to this question. It’s just that you can’t solve it!”

The boy thought hard again, but shook his head and said in resignation, “I don’t know!”

A student with a scarf on his head walked out and mocked, “Su Mao, there’s actually a question you don’t know the answer to! To think that you claim to be the smartest child in Clear Spring Town!”

Su Mao retorted, “Hmph, who gave you the cheek to mock me? If you have the guts, say the answer.”

This child’s real name was Ma Zong. However, because his face was slim, the children in the school gave him the nickname “Horse Face”.

Su Mao and Ma Zong were rivals in school.

One had an average family background, was smart, and studied dilligently. He was often praised, but he was a little arrogant.

The other was from a rich family, but his grades weren’t good. Although he studied hard, he often ranked at the bottom of the cla.s.s.

Therefore, these two children were often compared.

Over time, the two of them became arch-enemies.

“Hmph, I’m not as smart as you, so I can’t answer the question!” Ma Zong admitted, “On the other hand, no matter how smart you are, Su Mao, didn’t you suffer a setback today?”

Su Mao was furious, so he turned to look at Li Xiaoran.

“Then tell me, what’s the answer?”

Li Xiaoran revealed the answer with a smile.

“When zero is the fist, second is the scissors, and fifth is the paper, five is greater than zero, zero is greater than two, and two is greater than five!”
