Chapter 21: A New Guest Arrives East

The merchant did not come in vain this time, before leaving, he did a lot of business in Shiqiao Village by the way, and the biggest customer was Gu Qing.

Gu Qing exchanged a lot of things with the food at home, soybean oil and salt are necessary, there are very few condiments in these years, and the taste is indescribably strange, Gu Qing still reluctantly changed some sauces and vinegar, and Gu Qing almost prepared the things that should be in the kitchen.

The meat of the Ding family was almost eaten by Gu Qing, perhaps at the beginning of coming to this world, Gu Qing was starved, and after robbing the Ding family's house, Gu Qing gathered all the meat in the house, carefully hid it under the bed like a squirrel in winter, and then opened his stomach and ate Haisai without distress.

If eating meat is considered a kind of dietary therapy, the effect is very good. Gu Qing was pleasantly surprised to find that he had grown flesh, his arms and legs were much thicker than before, his abdomen was no longer as dry and thin as a reed stick, and even his face was a little rounder than before...... Still upset.

The predecessor's previous life must have been cheated for a lot of money, otherwise he wouldn't have grown so bitter and hateful.

The meat at home eats very quickly, Gu Qing does not eat alone, often calls Song Gensheng to come to the house to share together, and sometimes asks Song Gensheng to bring two pieces of meat back to his father, the Ding brothers are quite wealthy, these days have been tossed by Gu Qing almost, the meat is almost finished, the money is spent, Gu Qing has a faint sense of crisis, if the matter of selling pottery is not solved quickly, he will return to a state of extreme poverty.

"Tomorrow the family will be cut off...... Gu Qing chewed a piece of air-dried pheasant meat in his mouth, and suddenly felt that it was tasteless.

Song Gensheng, who was feasting, suddenly raised his head, looked at him suspiciously, puffed out his cheeks and said vaguely: "Is there no food at home?" ”

Gu Qing sighed sadly: "There is food, but there is no meat, for me, cutting off meat is equivalent to cutting off food." ”

Song Gensheng had a stalk on his neck, his eyes wide open and he tried to swallow the meat in his mouth, like a rooster crowing in the sky.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Song Gensheng said: "The meat you gave my father yesterday, my father is still hanging under the beam of the house and is reluctant to eat it, do you want me to steal it out and give it to you?" ”

After speaking, Song Gensheng was stunned for a moment, and pursed his lips in horror.

What did I just say? Did I say I was going to steal? And it's stealing things from your own home...... I'm reading the sages.

Song Gensheng found that he had changed, that he had become bad.

Gu Qing's expression was very pleased, patted him on the shoulder and said: "I don't have to see you outside, since you took the initiative to say it, then go and steal your family's meat, act sneakily, don't expose your deeds, if you fail, your father will ask him, don't involve me." ”

Song Gensheng looked at him in disbelief: "Really let me steal it?" I just said it casually......"

Gu Qing Zhengse said: "A righteous man and a gentleman promise a thousand gold, didn't the sage teach you?" ”

Song Gensheng suddenly fell into a deep contradiction and could not extricate himself.

The gentleman naturally has to do what he says, but today's "words" and "deeds" are to steal things, stealing things sages are definitely not allowed, the so-called "people with lofty ideals do not drink the water of the stolen spring", so the question is, which words should be listened to by the sages?

It is a logical paradox to steal things when you say what you say, and to defend your discipline by breaking your word.

Song Gensheng was stunned for a long time, unable to make a choice, and his expression was struggling and entangled.

Gu Qing didn't hear any movement next to him for a long time, turned his head to look at him, and said curiously, "What kind of expression do you have?" Choking on meat? ”

Song Gensheng took a deep breath and said seriously: "...... When I said about stealing meat just now, can I assume that I didn't say it? ”

"Yes." Gu Qing said very happily.

Song Genchang breathed a sigh of relief and showed gratitude: "Thank you for your understanding." ”

Who knew that Gu Qing said again: "It's okay to put it another way, I asked you to steal meat, is it okay?" ”

"Huh?" Song Gensheng lost color.

"Friends have the righteousness to help the needy, which is also what the sages said." Gu Qing added: "Look at me, I have no money and no meat, and my family will run out of food immediately, is it considered 'dangerous'?" Does it count as 'sleepy'? As a friend, shouldn't you help me? ”

Song Gensheng's expression struggled again.

A new logical paradox is here.

To fulfill the righteousness of a friend or to defend the temperance and not to steal?

Song Gensheng suddenly hated why he was studying......

Standing up, Song Gensheng walked out in despair, and muttered, "Mo Li, I want to be alone and quiet......"

Gu Qing looked at his back puzzled, his eyes full of doubts.

Are all the readers of this era like this? Silly.

…………

Two days later, another guest came to Shiqiao Village.

This guest is a big fat paper, about 200 pounds, from a distance it looks like a big ball of meat that fell during a landslide, unable to contain the inertia from rolling from the end of the mountain road to the entrance of the village.

By the time he reached the entrance of the village, the fat man was too tired to do anything, and his luxurious silk robe was also soaked with sweat, sticking to his fat body, looking like a dexterous fat man in a leotard and doing exercises.

The fat man also brought a few entourage, and the merchant who went to the village was also beside the fat man, laughing and fanning him.

took out a white towel from his arms, the fat man wiped the sweat from his forehead, panted and sighed: "It's too much, why didn't you say earlier that the kiln was opened in such a remote and far-reaching mountain village?" ”

The merchant said with a bitter face: "Shopkeeper Hao, you are a noble person, the villain has told you a few times, this mountain village is far away, and the mountain road is difficult to walk......"

"'It's far away', 'It's hard to walk', oh, how do I know it's so difficult? Let's go into the village, if it weren't for those pottery ......," the fat man sighed, and continued listlessly.

Walking into the mountain village, facing the eyes of the strange villagers, the shopkeeper Hao smiled and nodded to the villagers frequently, and his originally round and cute face looked more kind, which made people not disgusted with him at all.

The merchant led the shopkeeper Hao to the door of the Gu family, the shopkeeper Hao glanced up, then looked at the houses of the rest of the villagers, and said with a smile: "The house is magnificent, it looks like a good family." ”

The merchant's cheek twitched, and he couldn't bear to explain.

After seeing Gu Qing in the village last time, the merchant had already inquired about the recent events in the village, including the fate of the Ding brothers, including Gu Qingjiu's occupation of the magpie's nest......

The merchant stepped forward and gently knocked on the door knocker, and after a while, the door opened, and Gu Qing stood inside the door and looked at them quietly.

When Shopkeeper Hao saw Gu Qing for the first time, he suddenly chuckled in his heart, and then immediately began to reflect on himself.

Am I doing something wrong? Is my expression management not in place? Am I dressed inappropriately?

Why did this young man look unhappy?
