Chapter 97: The Little Beggar
Hearing the buzzing sound in his ears, Cui Wenqing couldn't help but sigh lightly, and his original good mood disappeared without a trace in an instant.
This is not his woman's kindness, with a strong sense of sympathy, but he feels that when he is eating and closing, there is such a young beggar who freezes to death in the snowy night of winter, is it really as the ancient poem says: Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road?
Just when people were sighing, the young beggar who was huddled in the corner of the wall suddenly moved, and then the whole person rose lightly from the ground, stretched his waist and yawned and said: "Who has a big dream, I know it in my life." Finally...... It's a new day. ”
Seeing that the little beggar who thought he was frozen to death suddenly stood up, everyone in the audience couldn't help but take a step in their right leg in fright, and looked at the little beggar who was still rubbing his eyes in shock, and the original buzzing and coaxing sound disappeared.
The young beggar looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old at most, and his little face was shaky, but his eyes were dark and very smart.
He looked at the stunned crowd of onlookers, suddenly rolled his eyes, took out a broken pottery bowl like a trick, squatted on the ground and cried: "Kind uncles and aunts, the little ones have not eaten for three days and three nights, please do a good job and give some money, and the little ones will definitely be grateful to your bodhisattva heart." ”
Seeing the pitiful appearance of the little beggar, the onlookers were moved with sympathy, and many of them had already taken out their money bags and generously donated money.
The little beggar who kept his head down and wept incessantly did not look at the pottery bowl, and his eyes flashed with incomprehensible carelessness, as if he didn't care how much money others could give.
At this time, there was a muffled sound of "clang" in the pottery bowl, which was different from the crisp impact sound of the copper plate entering, which immediately attracted the attention of the little beggar.
He looked at it in amazement, and then he saw that there was a broken silver with white flowers in the clay bowl full of copper coins, which weighed no more than one tael.
According to the Daqi coin exchange, one or two pieces of silver can be exchanged for a thousand copper coins, whether it is for small beggars or ordinary people, it can be regarded as a heavy capital.
The little beggar looked up in shock, and saw Cui Wenqing's smiling face, only to hear him smile and say: "Little beggar, in this cold winter, it's not enough to eat, you also need a thick cotton coat to wear, my money is for you to make clothes, don't sleep on the street tonight." After saying that, he smiled and walked away.
Suddenly, the little beggar was in a trance, and when he saw that Cui Wenqing was about to leave, he suddenly came back to his senses and stood up, opened his mouth and called crisply: "Son, but stay!" ”
Cui Wenqing turned around and asked with a smile: "What, isn't it enough?" ”
"It's not enough, it's too much." The little beggar took out the broken silver from the pottery bowl, stepped forward and handed it to Cui Wenqing Zhengrong and said, "We are beggars, like we only ask for a full meal, and passers-by just give a few small money. ”
Cui Wenqing smiled in surprise, feeling a little unexpected.
You must know that in the era before he crossed, many beggars took advantage of people's kindness to deceive here, not thinking about more money, but only less money.
Cui Wenqing once drove to work, and was stopped by an elderly beggar, opened his mouth to ask for money and goods, and gave the old beggar five yuan, but he didn't expect the other party to be too little, angrily threw the money into the car window, scolded him for being a poor ghost, and finally lay in front of the car and didn't leave.
What's more, some gangs of beggars specialize in abducting children and making them blind and dumb into tools to cheat money.
So Cui Wenqing has always had a bad impression of the beggars.
Just now, I saw that this young beggar was about to freeze to death, and in line with the idea of saving someone's life, Cui Wenqing gave a few pieces of silver, who expected that this little beggar was too much, which really surprised him.
"Little brother, I just said that this money is for you to make clothes, and please don't refuse."
"No, Childe, it's really too much," the little beggar irrefutably stuffed the silver into Cui Wenqing's hand, and said with a smile, "Childe is kind, he will have a good life, and the little one only asks for ten wen." ”
Seeing that the other party really didn't accept it, Cui Wenqing was not reluctant, and took out another ten yuan and handed it to the little beggar, and said with a smile, "You young man is really strange, okay, ten yuan is ten yuan." With that, he turned and walked away.
At this time, there were two peels in the crowd.
One of them is named Wang Si and the other is Zhang Liu, all of whom are scoundrels who wander in the Taiyuan market, and often do some things like stealing chickens and touching dogs.
Seeing Cui Wenqing's gorgeous clothes and generous shots, the two pimples immediately realized that a fat sheep was coming, and looked at each other and secretly followed Cui Wenqing's back.
The crowd in the downtown area rubbed shoulders endlessly, and Cui Wenqing didn't notice that someone was following behind him.
While walking slowly, he suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder, and he was hit from behind.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Childe. It was me who was careless. The man hurriedly lowered his head and apologized.
Cui Wenqing smiled nonchalantly, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, be careful next time." ”
The man thanked Dade and hurriedly went.
In the alley not far away, Zhang Liu was anxiously waiting for Wang Si to return.
Seeing the figure of his companion, he hurriedly asked, "How is it, do you have any hands?" ”
Wang Si's slender fingers pulled out of his sleeve, took out a money bag embroidered with lotus leaves, and said with a smile: "Uncle Ben came out of the horse, naturally he was able to catch it, and the stupid boy didn't find out that the money bag was taken off by me at all." ”
"Haha, Brother Wang is really powerful." Zhang Liuxi couldn't help but praise him, waved his hand and urged, "Quick, let's see how many silver taels are in it?" ”
Wang Si nodded, untied the money bag according to his words, took out the silver in it and counted it, and said in surprise: "Heh, what a fat sheep, fifteen taels of silver, haha, enough for our brothers to go to the gambling house for a gamble." ”
Zhang Liu laughed and said: "Not bad, yes, speaking of which, I happen to have itchy hands today, it seems that I finally have the gambling money to turn over, Brother Wang, let's go!" ”
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them were about to walk out of the alley, but they saw that at some point, a little beggar sitting at the entrance of the alley was holding a pottery bowl, blocking their way.
Wang Sihun didn't care, and scolded and pinched: "If you stinky for food, die far away, and you will be bad luck when I see you!" With that, he raised his foot and kicked at the little beggar.
