Chapter 33: The Human Heart and the World
"Young Master, I... I really didn't mean to disturb you and your friends, and I didn't... There's no money..."Noah opened his mouth, embarrassed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Although he did have a huge sum of two gold coins and five silver coins on his body, it did not belong to him, and it was Caisse who asked him to buy seeds and clothes.
He himself, but he was so poor that he had nothing.
"Oops, the kid now knows that he and I are here to pretend to be pitiful, wasn't it quite good when he bumped into me just now—" Bartlet sneered and said disdainfully.
But before he finished speaking, he seemed to have seen something extraordinary, his face suddenly froze, and a panicked look flashed in his eyes.
"Forget it, I don't look like you can come up with anything decent, young master, I'm in a hurry again, this time the adults don't remember the villain, so I'll let you go." He waved his hand again, and said with a straight face.
Then, without looking at Noah, he got into the carriage and urged several of his subordinates to leave together.
After a few breaths, they left.
"Well, Master Bartlet's leave now?" On both sides of the street, some people in the crowd of onlookers wondered.
"Yes, that's strange, Master Bartlet's son is the mayor of the town. According to his character, he will definitely not let go of anyone who dares to provoke him so easily, let alone that this person is just a poor boy! Someone next to him nodded and said.
"Didn't you listen to Master Bartlet, he was in a hurry, so he let this kid go..."
"Then we should also punish a little as a warning!"
"Yes, it's not fair, why did I accidentally look at the girl next to Master Bartlet's side a few more times before, he was furious, and he arrested me and taught me a lesson, but this kid didn't have anything at all?!"
......
Noah was stunned, these people who were silent as if they were dumb just now are now active, and their voices are not small. Moreover, there was no intention to avoid him in the slightest, as if it was intended to be heard.
He had mixed feelings in his heart, felt a little weak, and his nose was a little sour.
These people, who had not left just now, obviously wanted to see the excitement. And now that the excitement is not seen, I have begun to fall into the well of myself.
What made him even more incredible was that the middle-aged man who said that he had been taught a lesson and he had escaped was clenched into fists, and his eyes looked at him very unkindly, with a light of hatred, as if he was the culprit.
"I just hoped that some of them would come out and say something fair, but it's really wishful thinking to look like this..."Noah shook his head and said in a low voice.
He really didn't expect that these honest or kind people on the surface would hide such faces behind their backs.
He felt a fire burning in his chest, and he felt a stagnation rush to his throat, making him want to open his mouth so loudly and vent it so loudly.
It's just that, even if you are wronged, even if you are angry, what can you do? Could it be that he pointed at these indifferent people who turned black and white upside down and scolded for a while, or rolled up his sleeves and rushed up to fight.
I'm afraid, if they do it, these people will only be more excited. Because of this, they have even more excuses to beat themselves.
"Noah, you see, this is the human heart. You have saved people, don't expect others to appreciate you or repay you; If you offend someone, others will fight to step on you. This is the way of the world. A voice came from behind him, his tone slow and vicissitudes.
Noah was shocked, nodded, and then slowly turned around with a surprised expression.
Compared to the performance of the crowd of onlookers, the words that came out of Bruce's mouth were even more unexpected to him.
"Don't look at me like that, I have such a feeling, it's just because I've lived so long and experienced too much, it's not strange." Bruce shook his head and grinned.
"But I believe that you and they are not the same kind of person as Grandpa Bruce!" Noah looked at him and said seriously.
Bruce shook his head again and didn't speak.
The old and the young, were silent.
Seeing that there was no excitement to see, the people on both sides of the street slowly dispersed, the stalls were still shouting, the buyers were still lounging, and the idle were still standing on the side of the road and looking around, thinking about how to make a fortune for nothing.
"I said Noah, aren't you going to buy seeds? The sun is getting high, what are you still doing here in my daze? After a moment, Bruce pointed to the scorching sun in the sky, which was almost in the middle of the sky, and said with a smile.
"Oops, really, how did I forget? Brother Ling Feng and Brother Caysis explained my affairs, but they haven't done a single thing! As soon as Bruce reminded him, Noah suddenly remembered that he still had something to do, and he patted his forehead and blamed himself.
"You still have two older brothers? How could they be so irresponsible, and why would they let you out on your own? Bruce said with an unhappy look on his face.
"Grandpa Bruce, you misunderstood, in fact, Brother Ling Feng and Brother Cayce are not related to me. Because I was orphaned and homeless, they took me in and took care of me in every way they could. And now I am the only one in the family who has nothing to do, so I was sent out. Noah hurriedly clarified.
For Ling Feng and Kathys, as well as Owen, he was extremely grateful, and refused to let them be misunderstood.
"Grandpa Bruce, I'm leaving, I'll come back to see you when I have time."
"Well, go ahead, listen to you say that, your two brothers are very good, don't live up to people's expectations." Bruce waved his hand.
After thinking about it, he continued: "By the way, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can always come to your grandfather Bruce." As long as grandpa can do it, he will never shirk. ”
Noah nodded, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, and left with Didi in his hands.
However, after walking for a while, he felt a difference in the atmosphere on the street.
At this moment, he was a little restrained, because wherever he went, he could feel several pairs of eyes that were either curious, disdainful, or with other inexplicable emotions falling on him.
Among them, there was even some terrifying momentum, which made him goosebumps, and he felt like he was being secretly targeted by a fierce beast.
In a restaurant.
"Although this kid is dressed in tatters and behaves restrainedly, he is a little special, you go check it out!" A young man by the window on the second floor picked up his wine glass, looked at Noah, who had just passed downstairs, and commanded the other person beside him.
Not far away, there is a weapon shop doorway.
"Tenth brother, what do you think?" A middle-aged man with a neat short hair and black metal gloves whispered.
Beside him, another shirtless sturdy young man with a sledgehammer in both hands replied: "Fourth brother, the reason why the young master of Na Laoshizi didn't trouble that kid just now is by no means as beautiful as he said, but the old beggar behind that kid is the ghost!" ”
The middle-aged man nodded, and then praised: "Lao Shi is good, he has made progress, and he has seen the subtleties." The old man glared at Bartlet, and there was a slight movement among his men, which should have prevented him from pursuing it further. It's interesting, you send a clever man to follow the kid and get to the bottom of him. ”
"Good!" The young man, known as Lao Shi, answered, and then in a flash, he blended into the crowd and disappeared in a few clicks.
