Chapter 14 The warmth of the heart
Li Yitian and the three of them slurped behind the small rocks not far away, watching the children stumble into the house that was crunching and swaying in the wind and rain.
The three of them gathered their breath and quietly eavesdropped on the movement coming from the house.
The dog in the house didn't have time to wait for his rapid breathing to calm down after the wild run, so he couldn't wait to open the stolen money bag.
Looking at the shining gold in the money bag, the children were stunned, and the children, who had never seen so much money since they were young, came to their senses after a long time, and the dog hurriedly tied the money bag again.
Xiao Shi said weakly: "Isn't it okay for us to steal so much money from other people? “
The dog was two years older than her, and thought more far-reachingly, when she saw the little stone and the big cow panicked, and hurriedly forced her composure and said, "It's okay, we'll take the copper coins in the bag later, and the rest of the gold and the bag will be put back for him."
He shouldn't care about the little money left after he found the gold. “
Li Yitian hid outside the house and heard this, and secretly praised this kid for his cleverness.
If so much money is directly handed down, the owner is likely to report it to the government.
With such a large amount of money, the government sent someone to investigate a little, and these children absolutely can't hide it, but this child's approach is safe.
Li Yitian thought narcissistically, this kid has the style I had back then.
At this moment, Old Man Yan was about to go out to beg when he saw three sneaky people in front of the little beggar's door.
He immediately shouted: "What people!"
The three of them were so startled by him that they turned around, and the three little beggars also hid the money and rushed out when they heard the voice.
When they saw Li Yitian and the three of them, they were immediately frightened, and they stood in place and couldn't speak.
Old man Yan was about to speak again to scold, but Wu Shuai raised his hand lightly and said with a wry smile: "This old brother, we have no malicious intentions, you better listen to me first and then talk about the ins and outs of the matter." “
After speaking, Wu Shuai told the ins and outs of the little beggar stealing money.
Old man Yan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and subconsciously looked at the three little guys who had fallen into a big disaster.
I saw the three little guys standing timidly in place, and they knew in their hearts that what this person said was true.
He also smiled bitterly, but he was also decisive, and immediately fell to his knees and kowtowed three times as soon as he lost the crutch. he
straightened up and said: "Three masters, the matter has come to this, the old Hanako has nothing to say, first kowtow to you for the three babies to make amends."
Just beg you to see if you can let them go for the sake of your belongings that they have not touched in the slightest, and count this matter on my old name Hanako.
I've always asked Hanako to be willing to accompany you for them, and if you don't think it's enough, this old life is also offered.
Please be gracious and let these children go. The old name Hanako will also thank you for your great kindness under the nine springs. “
After that, the old man Yan sat on the ground, picked up his crutches and wanted to hit his remaining left leg.
The three babies screamed urgently, and Grandpa Yan was about to rush forward, but there was a figure that was faster than them.
Seeing the green shadow flashing, Old Man Yan felt that his crutches were fixed in mid-air, as heavy as Mount Tai, and it was difficult to swing a single inch.
Old man Yan raised his eyes to see that the middle-aged man who spoke and was kind before grabbed the head of the cane in mid-air with one hand, and he couldn't help but sigh that he had met a master, and most people didn't look down on his leg, so he could only put down his cane in despair.
At this moment, Shopkeeper Liu arrived with Zhao Xiaoyu.
Zhao Xiaoyu was precocious, and when he saw this scene, he was miserable, and shouted at the three dogs: "Kneel!"
The three children were so frightened by him that they fell to their knees in a hurry.
Zhao Xiaoyu also knelt down and knelt in front of the three children.
He didn't speak, but just took out the ruthlessness of grabbing food with street gangsters when he was a child, slapped himself violently, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding as soon as he slapped down.
When he was about to draw a second palm, his right hand was pulled by Mo Lin, who couldn't stand it, and Zhao Xiaoyu stopped pumping.
Tears fell on his face, and when he spoke again, his voice was hoarse as rusty iron: "I just ask you to spare the lives of the three of them, and the little ones have nothing else to ask for, let the masters fall." ”
If it is said that they were treated to dogs before, Li Yitian and the three of them just have an appreciation and tolerance for the naughty children.
But now, when faced with a thirteen-year-old child, the three of them have respect from the bottom of their hearts.
The phrase "eldest brother is like a father" is so shocking in a thirteen-year-old boy who is not related to his younger siblings.
The three of them originally planned to open their mouths to explain that they had to settle accounts with the little beggars, but at this time, they did not dare to say anything at all, for fear that their opening would tarnish the heavy emotions.
Li Yitian sighed, and said in a flat tone: "Okay, take the money in the money bag and buy clean clothes for them and yourself, and then find a doctor to heal the injury at the corner of your mouth."
Tomorrow morning with the rest of the money to the inn to recruit foreign trade. After saying that, he glanced at Zhao Xiaoyu deeply, and the three of them turned to leave.
Zhao Xiaoyu kowtowed frantically to the departing backs of the three of them, and couldn't stop shouting: "Write more about the great kindness of a few masters! Thank you for the great kindness of a few masters!"
After Li Yitian and the others left, Zhao Xiaoyu got up and ran to the three timid children like crazy, hugged them and cried loudly, his voice choked and couldn't help himself: "You are still alive, you scared me to death! scared me to death...... Ah......h
The three children were frightened, and they also hugged Zhao Xiaoyu and cried bitterly.
The fate of the little people is so humble that sometimes just being alive is enough to make them ecstatic, but it is also the heavy emotions that burst out of these little people that can break the earth and shine with the brilliance of human nature.
Old man Yan looked at the children who were crying together, and suddenly remembered the brotherhood of the sword and blood shadow when he was young, and suddenly wanted to drink, but he had to give up without alcohol around.
But he remembered that when he was young, he heard a poem chanted by a sour Xiucai: "The brothers who have survived the catastrophe are here, and they meet with a smile and enmity." ”
At that time, Old Man Yan and his brothers also beat him, robbed him of all the money, and then asked him with a smile, where is his brother?
At this time, Old Man Yan felt that the poem was inappropriately written, so he had to change it to "Spend all the catastrophes, brothers are here, and you will be safe and secure to the white head." ”
Well, the old rascal who has cut people for half his life has become a fucking literati today.
Old man Yan looked up to the sky and smiled, but muddy old tears fell from his face.
Old man Yan cried and got up, staggering on crutches and trying to wait in the house for the female beggar who didn't dare to make a sound.
Old man Yan looked at her and thought to himself: "That's it, I won't keep the money for begging today, let's buy some delicious food for this stupid woman." ”
said that Lin Yitian and the three of them were silent on the way back to the inn, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Li Yitian suddenly opened his mouth and asked Mo Lin: "How is it?"
Mo Lin was confused by his question, and then asked, "What to take?"
Li Yitian's voice was loud and sonorous: "These people are the iron bones of my Great Qin! These are the young people of my Great Qin in the future!"
Mo Lin was very helpless about his escape, and replied to him weakly: "You said that you are the future young man of your Great Qin, I believe, what does this have to do with the iron bones of your Qin State?"
Li Yitian blinked and replied to her mischievously: "It doesn't matter, I just see that the atmosphere is too solemn." Spice up the atmosphere with a quip. ”
Mo Lin couldn't understand his brain: "Do you think this atmosphere is suitable for telling jokes?"
Li Yitian smiled lightly, the flashy prodigal temperament was gone, and there was a kind of back-to-basics indifference in his tone: "Why do you grieve for him?
This is a great joy for him. ”
Mo Lin was puzzled and humbly asked for advice: "What is the solution?"
Li Yitian replied blandly: "Because his younger brothers and sisters are still alive." ”
Such a simple reason choked Mo Lin speechless, thinking of Zhao Xiaoyu's figure kneeling in front of her brothers and sisters, she only felt that her heart was blocked and her eyes were hot.
Li Yitian looked into the distance, there seemed to be stars in his eyes, and he seemed to be looking through the long river of time
He uttered a philosopher-like emotion in a language that Mo Lin and Wu Shuai could not understand: "You have not experienced darkness, how can you long for light?"
Mo Lin looked at Li Yitian, who was very different from usual, revealing an indescribable heaviness on his body.
Thoughtfully, she tried to ask, "What heavy things do you seem to have experienced?"
Li Yitian looked at her with an isolated loneliness in his expression: "I have experienced death, do you believe it?"
Mo Lin and Wu Shuai's expressions gradually became solemn, and they couldn't figure out whether he was teasing Mo Lin or if he really had some heavy secrets on his body.
Li Yitian looked at their serious expressions and smiled, "I'm kidding." ”
But in fact, Li Yitian didn't lie to them, he had a secret that had been buried in his heart.
On the first night he spent in this world, he had experienced death, the death of "Zhang Xiao" to be exact.
It seemed that the last trace of connection between his original world and this world fed back into his mind everything he had had since disappeared from that world.
When he saw himself "dead", his parents were grief-stricken and his father was a drunkard.
The already severe cerebral infarction was even more severe, and my father left that world one night.
And the mother is also disfigured, lonely and old. His friends were grieved, and then they gradually forgot about themselves, and only a few of their close friends would occasionally come to their graves to talk, until they all became gray-haired old men, and one by one they left the world.
And the girl he once had a crush on also married and had children like ordinary people, gradually became rich, experienced joys and sorrows, birth, old age, sickness and death, and then left this world.
Therefore, although Li Yitian's mental age is slightly greater than his physical age of twenty years, that memory is like an old man who has seen all the vicissitudes of life.
That night he hid in the back garden where no one was around, crying hoarsely and roaring like crazy, but he couldn't do anything about what was happening in that world.
That night he was so disheartened, but the next day he had to pretend that nothing happened, so as not to be seen and his life was in danger.
This is also the reason why Li Yitian has a sense of loneliness and indifference to see through the world from time to time.
Back at the inn, the shopkeeper called them downstairs to eat at dinner.
Today's dinner was especially rich, and yesterday there were only three or four vegetarian dishes a day.
After all, this is just a remote town, and there are not many guests, so Li Yitian, who is usually used to eating food, is not demanding.
But there were six dishes on the table today, including a chicken and a plate of eggs.
Li Yitian shouted: "Wow, shopkeeper, have you made a fortune?" ”
Shopkeeper Liu rubbed his hands and said with a sneer: "Where is it, but today I saw a few masters magnanimously and did not embarrass those children, and I will prepare a few thin dishes for a few children, thank you."
If the masters don't dislike it, I still want to toast a glass of wine with the few masters. ”
Li Yitian smiled and said: "The shopkeeper is polite, that is, you are a guest, then you are the master, and we are the guests."
Where is the reason why guests are in charge? Please sit down with your sister-in-law. ”
Shopkeeper Liu greeted the inner room, and a beautiful woman walked over quietly.
Li Yitian praised: "Mrs. Sister-in-law's appearance, what a blessing for the shopkeeper." ”
Shopkeeper Liu waved his hand again and again: "False praise, false praise." ”
The two refused to take a seat after repeated excuses, and Li Yitian had no choice but to let them sit down.
After three rounds of drinking, Li Yitian and Wu Shuaige can temporarily seal their cultivation and drink with the physique of ordinary people, and everyone is a little drunk.
Shopkeeper Liu and his wife stood up and toasted to Li Yitian and the others: "Today's actions of several people are enough to show that several of them are really good people, and there are not many good people in this world."
Liu gave a glass to all the good people. So they all toasted together.
Seeing that the atmosphere was lively, Li Yitian smiled and joked to shopkeeper Liu: "Shopkeeper, how old are you and me, I dare to call you brother."
Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, brother, how did you marry your sister-in-law with such a look?
To tell you the truth, the little brother is conceited and handsome, but the beauty next to him has gone all the way, and the little brother has not been able to get it.
Can you teach the little brother two tricks, and let the little brother get a beautiful woman as soon as possible. ”
Xu is the reason why the wine strength of the inn is not small, Mo Lin glanced at him with a peachy face, and the beauty style of that moment stunned the three men.
When he came back to his senses, Shopkeeper Liu laughed: "Brother, don't make fun of my brother, my brother and sister can be compared to your sister-in-law."
I really don't look good, and I'm even a son-in-law who escaped from the desert and did it. ”
Li Yitian gave a thumbs up, his face full of admiration: "Brother is really a god." ”
Shopkeeper Liu was proud, patted his belly and said with a smile: "Your sister-in-law is a woman who has studied in a private school and knows a few words, and she is a good person."
At that time, there were countless people in the family who proposed marriage, this inn was my father-in-law's house, my father-in-law and mother-in-law were old and had children, and they were very close to this pearl treasure.
The family doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and the second elder wants to find a man who can rest assured and be good to her for the rest of his life.
That year, my hometown was in a great wilderness, and I fled from the wilderness and met her on the street to give alms.
She handed me a steamed bun, but I didn't want to eat it, and wanted to eat it when I was more hungry.
If you want to meet a mother and son, they are both starving to death.
At that time, there were no more alms on the streets, and I thought to myself that I would not be able to die, so I gave them steamed buns.
Who knew that this scene happened to be seen by her who was rushed back to bring food to the mother and son.
She decided that I was someone I could trust for the rest of my life.
She took me home and told the old couple that I would not marry, and after hearing what he said about me, the old couple felt that although I was not good-looking, my character was okay, so they married her to me.
I honestly ran the inn and sent the old couple away, and I came to this day with her.
Hey, at that time, Lao Tzu felt that he was so lucky, a steamed bun for a beautiful woman! ”
The woman blamed him for talking too much and hit him hard, but Shopkeeper Liu still looked at her with a smile.
Li Yitian looked at the two of them, and suddenly felt that some people and things that happened inadvertently in the world were more intoxicating than the warm spirits in the glass.
