Chapter 26: A Beggar with a Surprising Identity!
Di Renjie was very surprised, it stands to reason that there are countless beggars on the street. Over the years, I have patrolled and hunted on behalf of the sky, and there have been many places I have visited, and I have seen so many people or things.
But this beggar at the moment gives people an indescribable atmosphere.
Di Renjie frowned slightly and looked straight over.
I saw that this beggar, although his clothes were ragged, occasionally raised his head, except for a slight dark stain on his face, his eyes were clear. For the alms given to your own pedestrians, nod slightly to show gratitude. Between the eyebrows, it is a posture of inferiority.
"It turns out that being a beggar can also be so individual!" Di Renjie couldn't help muttering to himself.
And at this moment, the owner of the breakfast shop, with a flattering smile on his face, walked over quickly, carrying a hideous mask in his hand.
"What do you see, sir?" The shopkeeper looked at Di Renjie and asked softly.
Di Renjie quietly turned his face and raised his hand to point to the beggar at the corner of the archway, "Shopkeeper, how long has that beggar appeared?" ”
"You said him, I didn't pay attention to this, but now that I think about it, this person hasn't been around for long," the shopkeeper sat down next to Di Renjie and said with a frown.
Di Renjie sat down slowly and looked at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper pondered for a few minutes before he said slowly, "Oh, I remember, this beggar seems to have appeared after the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau was destroyed." ”
When Di Renjie heard this, he was shocked.
"But strange to say, this beggar is given a silver tael, he doesn't want it, he doesn't want to introduce him to a job, he comes here every day, begs for some leftovers, barely fills his stomach, and then leaves. But after leaving here, I didn't follow him to check where he went, so I can't tell you. ”
Di Renjie frowned and nodded.
"Sir, why are you interested in him?" The shopkeeper looked at Di Renjie suspiciously, frowned and asked.
Di Renjie smiled, "Oh, it's nothing, in this life, I have spent more time walking in the rivers and lakes, and I haven't earned much silver." But I'm still interested in these anecdotes. Maybe this has something to do with Xiao Lao'er's character. ”
The shopkeeper nodded, hesitated for a few minutes, slowly raised his head, tried to lower his voice, and said softly, "Old man, I advise you, about the matter of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, you better not interfere." ”
Di Renjie looked stunned, he could feel that this shopkeeper must know something about the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau.
At the moment, as Di Renjie, he can't ask too much. If you ask too much, it is very likely that the shopkeeper will be suspicious of him. Because he was afraid of being contaminated with right and wrong, he didn't help himself to introduce himself to a mysterious gathering and look for some clues.
Di Renjie thought of this, and hurriedly accompanied the smiling face, "The affairs of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, the government can't take care of it, and the old man doesn't have that ability." It's just that I'm more interested in the beggar. ”
The shopkeeper nodded solemnly, and then said, "Hmm. The old gentleman, the beggar, although the people in the town were quite suspicious of his identity, but no one dared to investigate. Even if the officials saw him. They all pretend not to be seen. Even if I don't explain it to you, you should know it. ”
Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to make any remarks.
"Well, old man, I speak this so that you can know how deep the water is in which this beggar is. We, the common people, it's better not to get involved. Otherwise, if you drown, you don't know which god you offended. ”
"Well, thank you, boss." Di Renjie smiled and arched his hand, thanking him.
The shopkeeper stood up, returned the salute to Di Renjie, then pointed to the mask on the dining table, and said with a gentle smile, "Old man, it's good that you know how powerful it is." Oh yes, old man, keep this mask safe, and I'll take you to the assembly place at noon. ”
"Okay." Di Renjie nodded and said.
"Sir, then I'll go and get busy first. We'll see you later. I don't want this meal money, I invite you. You're at your own convenience! The shopkeeper looked at Di Renjie deeply, and then left slowly to entertain other guests.
Di Renjie smiled gently, watched the shopkeeper leave, and turned his head to look at the street. Again to check on the beggar.
"Uncle!" A pleasant shout came from outside the store.
Di Renjie hurriedly turned his face sideways and looked over along the shout. I saw that outside the breakfast shop, a tall young woman wearing a white corset robe, shiny hair in a shiny bun, and about seventeen or eighteen years old, beckoned to Di Renjie.
When Di Renjie saw this person, an indescribable smile suddenly appeared on his face.
I saw this young woman trotting all the way to Di Renjie, sat down very unceremoniously, snatched the fritters that Di Renjie had just picked up in his hand, and then stuffed them into his mouth. He muttered vigorously, "Hungry... Starve... I... Finish. ”
"This... You don't drink it. Don't waste it, I'll drink it for you! Before Di Renjie could speak, the girl brought over the soy milk placed in front of him and took a sip of it.
"Slow down." Di Renjie said dotingly, and then beckoned the shopkeeper to give a copy.
Di Renjie looked at the girl who was eating wildly, and said with a heartfelt smile, "Feiyan, are you here like this?" ”
This woman named Feiyan is the daughter of Di Renjie's eldest brother and his niece, Di Feiyan.
Di Feiyan grew up by her side since she was a child, because Di Renjie only has three sons and no daughters, so for this niece, Di Renjie seems to be spoiled.
I saw Di Feiyan, who was stuffed with fritters, with two small faces bulging, very cute. Di Renjie's question at this moment was a little sudden, Di Feiyan wanted to answer, but she almost choked.
"Ahem... Ahem, ahem. Di Feiyan coughed.
Di Renjie looked at her with a smile, raised his hand and gently patted her back. "Slow down, no one is robbing you." Di Renjie said with a smile.
Di Feiyan hurriedly picked up the soy milk, took a sip, reluctantly lowered the fritters, with tears in her eyes, and said with "excitement" on her face, "Uncle, you will choke me to death if you do this." ”
"Hehe... Uncle is wrong, uncle is wrong. Hehe...."Di Renjie said with a smile.
Di Feiyan patted her little chest, looked at Di Renjie, smiled slightly, and then said, "Uncle, who asked you to go out without me." It was only after you left, that he finally did the work of Tong Dichun, and he said it to me. ”
"Two days after you left, I secretly left a note for my aunt and came over without stopping. Didn't you eat so well in between? No, uncle, you have to compensate me! ”
Hearing this, Di Renjie couldn't help but raise his hand, scratched lightly on the bridge of Di Feiyan's towering nose, and said dotingly, "You, uncle has something important to do when he goes out this time." ”
"I don't care! You're gone, and Yuan Fang doesn't know where to go. Di Chun doesn't know where Yuan Fang has gone, only where you have gone. So I can only come to you. Di Feiyan said with an aggrieved face.
"What's the matter, if you know what Yuan Fang is thinking, won't you come to accompany your uncle and go to find Yuan Fang?" Di Renjie teased Di Feiyan.
"Uncle!" Di Feiyan said with disgust, and her pretty face instantly looked like a red apple.
"Hehe..." Di Renjie couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw Di Feiyan in such a posture.
