Chapter 1123: Down-and-Out Boy
Looking at the admiring eyes of the diners next to him, Xu Xiangbei simply smiled and said loudly: "Everyone let go of eating, I will treat you to this meal." ”。
A little drunk in his heart, Xu Xiangbei used wine as mouthwash and cooked beef as rice to eat and drink.
Just when Xu Xiangbei was eating, downstairs in the tavern, a man with a lewd description and ragged clothes walked by.
The boy still looks very young, but fifteen or sixteen years old, with a gray bottom of the pot and swollen eyes, obviously he has been unlucky for a long time, how miserable and miserable it is, a typical person at the bottom of society.
It's just that this man's eyes are not that down-and-out frustration, but full of pride, although he looks immature, but his temperament has an adult stability.
The young man raised his head and looked at the restaurant in front of him, reached out and touched his lower abdomen, his fingers stretched out the cloth pocket in his pocket, of course, he didn't find half of the copper plate.
Shaking his head and sighing, the man turned and walked out.
However, after raising for a while, it is estimated that he is really hungry, so the young man can only put down his arrogance and stride in.
Seeing the man step in, the shopkeeper who had served Xu Xiangbei hurriedly ran up, his original smiling face had long since disappeared, and his eyes were full of disgust when he looked at the man.
"Where is the name of Hanako, take advantage of Lao Tzu not to take out the dog beating stick, get out. ”
With that, the shopkeeper opened his arms, emitted a strong fox smell, and pushed the boy out.
The young man still wanted to rely on it, his expression was a little timid, and he seemed to be a little unable to let go, so he arched his hand to the shopkeeper, bowed his head and said, "This big brother, I've been hungry for three days, can you give me some leftovers." ”
The shopkeeper straightened his chest and tucked his abdomen, and teased with a face: "You don't need money for leftovers, right? Those who have hands and feet won't support themselves, come out to beg for food, give me a roll, otherwise Lao Tzu will be polite." ”
The situation here also attracted the attention of the diners in the restaurant, and everyone stopped eating, waiting to see what miserable things would happen to the young man.
Most of the people who come here to eat are farmers or coolies, and as long as they don't suffer themselves, they are very happy to see others suffer.
The shopkeeper knew the attitude of these diners very well, and when he saw that everyone was looking at it, he said: "That's it, as long as you get through my crotch, Lao Tzu will reward you with a nest, how about it?"
With a resentful look in his eyes, the young man inspected the restaurant, and in the end he didn't say anything, turned around and was about to leave.
However, the shopkeeper was energetic, pulled the man back, slapped him to the ground, spread his legs and said, "Drill for Lao Tzu." ”
This kind of shopkeeper, who usually sees anyone who has to deliberately welcome him, saw a person who could be bullied at will today, and immediately kicked his nose in the face.
The man wanted to avoid it, but he broke free from the strength of the shopkeeper, and then was slapped on the ground by the shopkeeper.
Xu Xiangbei looked at all this, although he didn't like it, but he didn't dare, he faintly felt that this Huazi didn't seem to be simple, and silently watched how he would react.
The shopkeeper simply grabbed the young man's hair and made fun of him wantonly, while the diners next to him couldn't help laughing when they looked at this bullying scene.
At this time, the elbow and armpit were born, and the young man understood that his arm strength was not as good as that of the shopkeeper, so he lay on the ground without saying a word, and put on a posture of preferring to die and not yielding.
The shopkeeper still wanted to tease, but he was suddenly hugged by the root of the leg, and bit it hard, and immediately bit out the blood.
This situation made the diners even happier.
Xu Xiangbei nodded secretly: "It's a little interesting." ”
There are countless poor people, and the number of poor people is like countless shells in the sea, often poor people must have something to hate, and they are not worthy of sympathy and help, but this man made Xu Xiangbei a little moved.
Pushing the shopkeeper away with a palm, the young man stood up and shouted: "Thief bird, if it was before, I would definitely let people divide your five horses." ”
The shopkeeper covered his thighs and was furious: "What are you pretending to be a troubled boy, you dare to bite someone, you don't have to report to the official to kill your old man, and you can't even find a horse, right?"
The shopkeeper looked around: "Are there any horses?
As he spoke, the shopkeeper kicked the man's door in anger with a resentful kick.
The man knew that he couldn't dodge, so he simply covered his head with both hands and squatted on the ground, ready to be humiliated, in short, he had already experienced this kind of thing countless times in the past few months.
However, the expected beating did not come.
With a confused face, he raised his head and looked at the shopkeeper, but saw that the shopkeeper's figure seemed to be frozen, and then he took seven or eight steps back.
In an instant, everyone in the restaurant was in a daze, and their faces were full of amazement.
Xu Xiangbei, who had been eating quietly, slowly stood up, looked at the shopkeeper who was unconvinced, and said, "Dogs and horses are friends of humans, don't look down on them." ”
When the shopkeeper saw that it was Xu Xiangbei, he hurriedly showed a flattering demeanor, walked up and spread his hands and said, "Shaoxia, I'm really sorry to disturb you Yaxing, I'll let this Huazi get out immediately." ”
The shopkeeper turned his head to the man and said, "See, if you don't get out, Lao Tzu will immediately go to the backyard and take out the dog beating stick." ”
"Shaoxia, don't be impatient, I promise that no one will disturb you again. ”
Xu Xiangbei frowned, he came from a civilized society, so he was particularly weak, so he would spend a lot of money to help these people at the bottom of the society.
Unexpectedly, the second child of this shop would be so vicious, and he could be willful and insulting to such a pitiful young man.
Xu Xiangbei took out a short sword, threw it at the young man's feet, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Kill him." ”
The shopkeeper was startled at that time, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy loudly.
The young man clenched his short sword tightly and glared at the shopkeeper, his eyes shooting out flames of revenge.
However, after a while, seeing that he still didn't make a move, Xu Xiangbei sat back on his table and teased: "I won't use a knife for you, and I still pretend to be a famous family." ”
The young man looked at Xu Xiangbei for a long time, threw the short sword on the ground, looked directly at Xu Xiangbei and said: "I don't kill him because I don't want to dirty my hands, he doesn't deserve it." ”
Xu Xiangbei crossed Erlang's legs, and became more and more interested in the man, this arrogance was even more than when he first arrived.
Pointing to the cooked beef on the table, Xu Xiangbei said, "Then am I worthy, please eat beef together?"
Looking at the steaming and fragrant beef on the table, if it was placed in normal times, the young man would probably scoff at it, but now he is down, even if it is a steamed bun in the gutter, it is a delicacy for him.
However, the young man still took a step, but looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Don't bully the young man to be poor, the purple gas always goes out of the east." ”
"When you look down on the weak, you are destined to become a lowly weak person at heart, just bully others to cover up your weakness. ”
After saying this, the young man left a room full of diners whose eyes were about to pop out, walked to the opposite side of Xu Xiangbei, and sat down with a golden knife.
His first sentence made Xu Xiangbei laugh.
"Shaoxia, I invited this meal, and I will pay you back in the future, how much will it cost?"
Xu Xiangbei stretched out his hand and asked rhetorically, "So you plan to ask me to pay back the money in the future?"
The young man's eyes were sharp, and he nodded affirmatively.
"Receiving the grace of dripping water, I should be reciprocated by the tide. ”
Xu Xiangbei's eyes flashed with a sharp light that was difficult for ordinary people to detect, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I bullied you to pay me back one million silver dollars." ”
Although the young man was hungry, he was gentle and elegant, chewed the beef carefully, and asked, "Shaoxia, I have something to ask?"
Seeing Xu Xiangbei nodding and looking at him, the young man asked, "You can see, you are from the rivers and lakes, may I ask what kind of cultivation realm you are?"
Xu Xiangbei took a sip of Lao Baigan and narrowed his eyes: "This is not important, right?"
Although I don't know what level of martial artist Xu Xiangbei is, the young man can vaguely guess some, for example, he can knock down the shopkeeper without making a move, this method is not his opponent, he can do it.
"Then can you help me get justice?"
Xu Xiangbei still didn't answer positively: "If you don't have the ability, don't learn to seek revenge, and besides, I just invited you to dinner, and I have no obligation to be a thug." ”
Seeing Xu Xiangbei's change in attitude, the young man continued: "Finally, ask one more question, how can you cultivate martial arts like you?"
Xu Xiangbei pondered for a while, looked directly at the young man's expectant eyes, and wrote lightly: "Time is not important, what matters is talent." ”
A person who has no talent, even if he is poor all his life, is likely to be only a war brother.
"Then can you accept me as an apprentice?"
"Hey, your questions are endless. With that, Xu Xiangbei took out the pre-rain Baihua brew, handed it to the man and said, "Take a sip and then say?"
The young man understood that Xu Xiangbei was testing himself, so he hurriedly took it, and without hesitation, he raised his head and drank a drink.
But he didn't expect that this wine was clear, and the fierceness that he had drunk before was like a fire burning his throat in his mouth, and the entire internal organs were churning.
Before he could swallow the wine spring, the young man's face was like a pig's liver. However, he still endured the discomfort, and it was so difficult that he forcibly swallowed the wine without leaking a drop.
"Hard. Xu Xiangbei admired in his heart that he might have this kind of heart when he was a teenager.
took out the money bag containing a thousand silver dollars, threw it in front of the young man, Xu Xiangbei said: "These assets are enough for you to buy some family land, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing. ”
Xu Xiangbei stood up, and before the last word was finished, he seemed to be outside the door of the restaurant.
Looking at the cooked beef on the table, the young man's lower abdomen screamed a few times, and he patronized the question, but he didn't eat a few bites at all.
Put away the money bag, this money may not be enough for him in the past, but for him now, it is a relief in the snow.
He realized that he had now come to the corner of his fate, where he could satisfy his appetite with satisfaction, and then distribute the money and silver reasonably, accumulate grain and become king, and not worry about not being able to take revenge in the future.
He can also go after Xu Xiangbei and learn from him, which may be full of risks but can take revenge faster.
The man's eyes flickered, clearly hesitating.
After a few seconds, the man finally decided, threw down all the silver dollars, and chased Xu Xiangbei who was drifting away amid everyone's exclamations.
And looking at the heavy money bag, thrown down by the young man, the restaurant instantly opened like a pot, and everyone rushed up to grab the money.
"Hehe, I'm rich. ”
"Heaven has blessed you, and you have made a lot of money. ”
