Chapter 18: Trapped by Money
"Sugar gourd, sugar gourd. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
With the shouts of the hawkers, the cold world struggled to tear open a crack. In order to survive, people crawl out of the cracks with difficulty, endure the erosion of the cold, and do the most unprofitable small business.
Even if Duan He has a lot of kung fu, he is not iron-clad. What's more, after walking forty miles with two women, the three of them stopped.
The cold and heat do not invade, Duan He is fine. This Ling Li and Yuechan have indeed suffered, Ling Li still has some kung fu skills that can still resist, Yuechan is already cold lips are purple, Duan He only feels that Yuechan's popularity has decreased a lot.
"Let's find an inn first, or something will have to happen." Ling Li said.
Duan He nodded, and found an inn in this unknown place to settle down for the time being.
Of course, Duan He has nothing on his body.
All the way to the east, the only place Duan He was going to go to was that one - Xiaoyao Valley. Now I only know where I am going, and I don't know much about the north and south of this big river, but I am not very familiar with this place.
found the inn, looked at the three people dressed up, the shopkeeper was so happy that he grinned happily and greeted the three people. I didn't ask for a deposit or ask much, and I straightforwardly arranged a room for the three of them.
One, upper room.
The meaning of the shopkeeper is that he thinks this is a small couple with a subordinate. Duan He means that he has nothing on him, and he just needs to have a place to live for the two of them. Ling Li's meaning, listen to Duan He's. Yuechan was on the side, and she was not qualified to give her opinion.
The three of them entered an upper room, and Yuechan helped Ling Li get good things, which was barely enough to live in this house.
"You two rest, I'll come as soon as I go. Someone will bring you food in a while, so let's warm it first. Duan He said a few words, and he was ready to go out.
"Duan He!" Ling Li stopped him.
"What?"
Ling Li didn't answer, and took out a golden hairpin directly from his baggage. This golden hairpin was originally one of his dowries, so he always carried it with him.
"It's hard to get money now, so let's take this seriously." Ling Li said.
Duan He glanced back at Ling Li, his eyes full of complicated emotions. He didn't take the golden hairpin, but said softly: "Let the woman do it at this time, but the big husband did it?" ”
With that, Duan He walked out.
This is to get money. But how can this money be blown by a strong wind?
Duan He walked on the road, preoccupied, thinking about where to get the money, and at the same time afraid of Ling Li's safety and preparing to go back early.
"Big red fruit, rock sugar gourd~"
A shout suddenly reached Duan He's ears, and he looked up and saw a vendor holding a rock sugar gourd. Immediately after, several people were seen.
The men were dressed in strange attire and seemed to be showing off their identities.
"Old man! Handed over the money! One of them smirked and roared, and a group of people gathered around the vendor of rock sugar gourds and stretched out their hands.
The peddler resigned, and took out a few pennies from his clothes. The money was suddenly put into the air, and it was steaming for a while.
"Okay, so little? Looks like you don't want to stay here anymore! If you can't earn a few copper plates, you're still a fart! One shouted, and the rest swarmed up and pushed the vendor to the ground. The shelf with the rock sugar gourd in his hand was put aside, and the group understood that this was what he was making money for. They rely on these people to get money, but they don't want to cut off their money. Even if the peddler has not been able to pay for several months, it is still a way to make money.
The screams, the cursing, the two voices mingled in the wind, but they were drowned out by the shouts of other vendors around them. People have long been surprised by this, and they just hope to sell out their things as soon as possible and close their stalls as soon as possible.
Duan He looked at all this and couldn't help but take a few steps forward.
The men didn't even notice that there was a person behind them, and the fists in their hands were getting harder and harder, until the peddler's wails weakened a lot.
"It's cheap for you today, and next time you can't hand it over, go find a river and plant it in!" A few people cursed and left.
Duan He was still watching from behind them, his clenched fist put down and clenched again.
"You deserve to die, but I am not the one to kill you." Duan He thought about it and sighed.
The vendor on the ground lay there, his last breath hung by the consciousness of survival. This breath is here, and it will ease up after a while.
Duan He glanced at the vendor, shook his head, and walked straight to the group of people who had just left.
Behind that group of people, Duan He followed unhurriedly, and took advantage of a vacancy to bump into them all at once.
"Oh, you don't have long eyes when you walk?" A few people cursed.
Duan He apologized with a smile on his face, and there was an extra thing in his hand, and no one noticed it.
Turning around, Duan He took a few steps with the thing in his hand before slowly opening it.
Sure enough, just like Duan He thought, these people would naturally take some money to spend when they came out. I'm afraid that the silver taels in this look like four or five taels, which is enough for a temporary expense.
Duan He walked back with the silver, clamped a piece of loose silver to his fingertips, flicked it into the hand of the vendor lying on the ground, and disappeared.
On the other side, Ling Li and Yuechan were eating their meals, unsettled.
"I don't know where to get some money, and if I get into some trouble for the two of us, it's really hard to feel at ease." Ling Li said.
On the side, Yuechan also sat at the table and ate with Ling Li. When there are no outsiders, the two are sisters, and Yuechan replied in a low voice: "Duan He Gongzi has the ability, and he will not be stumped by this little money." ”
Ling Li sighed lightly, his life was like a story he had heard when he was a child. Born in everyone, but it is impossible to escape fate.
On the side, Duan He had already pressed the silver downstairs and walked upstairs in a few steps.
"Coming back? How is it? ”
Ling Li looked at Duan He who came back, with a happy face.
"It's all right, let's stay here tonight. Tomorrow we will continue to travel, and later things will change. Duan He said.
Ling Li nodded, looked at the leftovers on the table, and said, "Come on, eat." ”
Duan He sat down, the expression on his face was very complicated.
For the first time in his life, he stole from the ill-gotten wealth of the unrighteous person, but it is difficult to say that he is a good man. If it's okay for a life like this, if it becomes a famous figure in the rivers and lakes in the future, wouldn't it become a laughing stock?
Thinking wildly, Duan He simply ate something and arrived at night.
It's late at night, and it's time to go to bed. Ready to sleep, there is only one bed in this room, and it goes without saying. Duan He has been practicing hard for many years, and there is no obstacle for a long time, so he directly sits cross-legged on the ground to recuperate his spirit.
Ling Li simply lay down under Yuechan's service, and the clothes on her body were tightly wrapped around her body.
