Chapter 56: What a Gangster
"This can't be done, what should I do if I burn the silver flower I want with a fire?" Yang Xiao secretly screamed in his heart.
Yang Xiao was about to intervene to stop him, but the back door of the cabin opened at this moment.
"Wait!" I saw an old man in plain clothes walking out of the back of the cabin in a hurry.
"It's in the wooden house, and I've been waiting for half an hour, ouch. Yang Xiao smiled helplessly.
"Little friends, wait a minute, why are you coming to burn my yard again today?" said the old man as he walked to the back of the yard, opened the railing door, and said with a smile.
"Why are you burning your yard, have you paid the protection fee? Our brothers don't eat, and if you say anything today, you have to take out at least ten copper coins, otherwise you don't want this yard!" said a young man categorically.
In the face of such a hooligan youth, the old man now actually looked unflustered, touching a small amount of beard under his chin, and at the same time pointed to another corner of the courtyard and said: "Look, the vegetables grown in that place have not been sold, and I am a lonely man, where will I get the money for you?"
"Then what should I do? You don't have any money to do with me, anyway, the brothers are hard-hearted today, and if you can't get the money, you don't want this vegetable yard!" The three young men played the scoundrel.
"Wait, don't worry, can you do it?" The old man waved his hand and motioned for him to make a suggestion: "I haven't had time to sell these vegetables yet, it's better to do this, tomorrow morning, you come to me, I will pick these vegetables and sell them directly to the town, if these vegetables sell well, it is estimated that they can be sold for at least eight or nine copper coins, and if they are sold poorly, they can be sold for three or four copper coins." How about it?, think about it yourself, I still have some freshly made osmanthus cake in my house, do you want to try it?" the old man spoke with an unhurried and comfortable appearance.
"Okay, you go get it. Without waiting for the young man who took the lead to speak, the little brother with the torch behind him couldn't help but hurriedly speak.
The young man who took the lead glanced at the young man holding the torch behind him, snorted in his mouth, pretended to be dissatisfied, and said, "Go!"
"Well, think about it, isn't it better!" said the old man, turning and going back into the house.
When the old man went back to the house to get his things, the three young men began to talk again.
"Boss, get up early tomorrow morning and go to the town to sell vegetables?" said the other little brother who didn't have a torch a little complaining.
"That's the only way, the old man has no money, where can he get the money if he doesn't sell vegetables?" said the young man helplessly.
"I don't want to go! We're all going to be laughed to death by others, how can people like us go to the town to sell vegetables, how can we look like gangsters!"
"That's true, but we're just a gangster now, and we don't have any skills, so we can make sure that we don't go hungry first, and then we will become bigger and stronger!
"I know that's right, but I feel that there is something wrong with this old man, why does he always ask us to help him sell vegetables and fruits, and often give us this and that, as if our behavior is being instructed by him, I am a little unhappy. ”
"When you say this, it seems that this is indeed the case, although it is said that there is money and something to eat, but why does this old man keep instructing us to do this and that, it is a little unpleasant!" The young man who took the lead touched his chin, and suddenly felt empathy.
"Shall we do it tomorrow?" asked the young man with the torch.
"Where will you get the money tomorrow?" I have an idea, how about we humiliate him and relieve us when he brings out the pastries?" said the young man in the lead.
"How humiliating, did you burn down his yard?" asked the young man with the torch.
"Stupid! What will we eat after burning it? I said that burning his yard will scare him!" the young man in the lead scolded the young man with the torch in the head.
"How do you do that?"
"When the old man brings out the pastries, we will knock over the pastries he brought out on the ground, and then push him, threatening him that he must bring money next time, or we will beat him, how about it?" said the young man in the lead.
"I'll see it!" said the young man who didn't have a torch.
"What about the osmanthus cake? Aren't we going to eat it?" the young man with the torch asked again, touching the bag that had just been beaten on his head.
"What do you care about that osmanthus cake? What we want is to vent our anger, understand? In this way, you will be responsible for picking up the overturned osmanthus cake later, wouldn't it be good." "Lead youth preaching.
"I'll pick it up, it's too embarrassing, forget it, okay, I'll pick it up." The young man with the torch hesitated.
"Just pick it up, don't you steal it all!"
"Huh!?aren't you going to be relieved?"
Yang smiled beside him, although he couldn't hear their speech clearly, but it was estimated that they were threatening the old man to do something just now, it was very likely that he was asking for money, the old man returned to the house, they hadn't left yet, they should have waited for the old man to go back to the house to get the money.
"If I can help the old man get rid of their group of thugs after waiting for a while, the probability of buying silver flowers is greater, hehe. Yang Xiao played in his heart, feeling that he had just given himself a chance. Now that he has built the foundation of the pinnacle of cultivation, even if he was a gangster from his hometown last time, he will no longer be his opponent.
The old man came out of the door again, holding a plate with a few fragrant osmanthus cakes on the plate, and walked in front of the three young men.
"Taste it!" said the old man.
Tempted by the aroma of osmanthus cake, the three young men suddenly forgot the agreement just now, and they all reached out and took a piece at the same time to taste it and eat a few bites. Suddenly realized something, something was wrong, and the young man who took the lead immediately overturned the plate containing the osmanthus cake in the old man's hand with one hand, and shouted with the osmanthus cake in his mouth: "Old man, you must take the money out next time, do you understand?"
The old man's expression was a little surprised, he looked down at the osmanthus cake on the ground and wondered, "What's wrong?
The young man who took the lead stepped forward and pushed the old man, and shouted loudly: "If you can't come out with any more money, I will make you look good, and you will be ready to be beaten!"
Yang Xiao, who was hiding from the sidelines and watching, would definitely not miss this good opportunity when he saw this scene, and immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Hey, hey, hey, what are you little gangsters doing?
The three young men were startled by the sudden appearance of the yang smile, but when they looked at it again, they were actually just a young man, and they immediately felt a lot more relieved, looked at the old man and said, "Old man, you even invited someone to come? But if you don't have money, is it useful to invite a child to come?"
"I didn't invite anyone here, I don't know him, I don't have any son, where is the money for him?" the old man explained to the three young men.
"Hey, little boy, if you bring a sword, you want to do chivalrous deeds, and it's very dangerous to run around without knowing whether you are alive or dead! Hurry up and get out of here! Otherwise, I will kill you!" said the young man in the lead, with a fierce expression on his face.
