11. Forced debts
As soon as the child shouted like this, a large group of people poured out of the alley in an instant, and the first thing he said when he saw Li Buqi was: "It's really Hei Saburo back?" "Kurosaburo is back, let's go home and have a look."
What's wrong at home? Li Buqi greeted everyone while walking into the alley and came to the door of his house. Li Buqi's parents had already helped each other out of the door, and when they saw him, Li Buqi's mother pounced on him with open hands: "Son! You're back! How can you be so stupid............"
Li Buqi was about to enjoy the warmth of the family, when suddenly his mother stopped, and turned in a circle as if looking for something. Someone asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you looking for?" ”
The mother who took Li Buqi suddenly saw the rod in Li Buqi's hand, rushed up with an arrow step, grabbed it, and hit Li Buqi on the head: "I beat you disobedient, beat you ignorant ......"
Although I don't have a lot of strength, the stick wheel hurts on my body. Li Buqi covered his head with his arms and hurriedly dodged: "Don't fight, don't fight!" ”
The neighbors also persuaded him, and his father also came up to stop his mother, and his mother threw a stick and hugged Li Buqi and cried: "You scared your father to death!" ”
It took a long time for everyone to persuade the mother, and Li Buqi thanked everyone for supporting his father and mother to go home. When I entered the yard, my mother didn't have the slightest anger, but asked Li again and again if she didn't give up eating, but she was tired? Under the questioning of the two, Li Buqi had to briefly talk about what happened in Shaanxi, of course, the part of escaping death was skipped, and there was no need to worry about the two old men.
Looking at the appearance of this family with four walls, he was embarrassed to open his mouth and say that he wanted to take a bath, in fact, he had already attracted lice. Li Buqi may not care, but for Liu Zhiwei, this feeling is really uncomfortable. The two excited old men had to burn the artemisia grass and smoke the mosquitoes before they went to rest, and he walked into Li Buqi's room and sat down on the bed.
The furnishings were simple, with two benches and a large plank bed leaning against the wall facing the door, which should have been a double bed in terms of width. By the window there was a small table and a stool, on which were placed an inkstone and a pen holder with a few brushes, and next to the table was a bookshelf with some books and a roll of paper. That's all there is to it.
Although it is simple, it is a sheltered place, and it is surrounded by neighbors who know the roots, so I can finally sleep peacefully. Li Bu kicked off the tattered hemp shoes on his feet, turned over and lay down on the bed, thinking that he would start earning money after resting for two days. As a person who traveled back in time from a thousand years ago, if you can't make money lying down in the Great Song Dynasty, then you might as well find a piece of tofu and kill you.
Finally, you don't need to keep one eye open when you go to bed, just in case, and this sleep is really sound. But a good dream stirred up the shouting in the yard. He got up in a daze and saw that the sun was almost midsky, and the four men in the courtyard were shouting at Li Buqi's parents: "At that time, I saw that you were pitiful, and I couldn't lend you money when I didn't save you, but now that I'm sick, don't you want to pay it back?" You ask around, but my interest rate is the lowest in Tokyo, and you are still too high? This is really a good intention! That's why good people can't do it! It's useless to say more, the deed in black and white is here, if you don't pay it in two days, just use this yard to pay off the debt! ”
Li Lei, Li Bu's father, said angrily: "But someone told me that at that time, you didn't let others lend money to my family, just to try to seize the courtyard of my family." ”
Niu Er was triumphant: "So what? Who told you to borrow money? If you don't see the doctor, won't you be fine if you don't take the medicine? Now that the contract is here, it is the official, and if you can't come up with the money, this courtyard is mine. See who can help you speak? ”
Li Lei was so angry that he gritted his teeth but was helpless, and Li Bu's old lady was so angry that she cursed loudly that Niu Er would not die well. Niu Er said with a smile: "Don't worry, I can't die." Haven't you heard that good people don't live long and live for a thousand years? Ha ha! ”
Li Buqi has this person in his memory, but he is Niu Er, who is a moneylender on the street. Could it be that the family borrowed his debt?
Li Buqi got dressed and came out of the house and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Niu Er was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Buqi, and then smiled: "It turns out that your family San Lang is back." I heard that he went to the border army to earn credit, and I think he must have come back with money. Just right, you will pay me back, and I will not move your yard. You're going to get the money! ”
Li Buqi glanced at Niu Er and asked coldly, "How much do you owe you?" ”
Li Buqi is already a person who has escaped death, and has killed many people, and this glance brings out a fierce murderous aura in his eyes. Niu Er, a person like Niu Er who is a bastard in the market, feels the most acute about this, and suddenly feels a chill in his heart. But thinking that he had a contract in black and white in his hand, and the kid in front of him was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he couldn't do anything to himself, so he became bold again, shook his head and said: "Ten money!" This has been a grace period several times, and this time there is no longer any delay in saying anything. ”
Li Buqi said: "Okay, just pay you back ten times." ”
Niu Er was surprised: Didn't you say that this kid didn't have any money when he came back last night, could it be that he lost his eyes?
He hurriedly stretched out his hand: "Take the money!" ”
Li Buqi still said coldly: "Isn't there still two days?" You'll be paid back in two days. Now, get out! ”
"What did you say?" Niu Er was about to sprinkle, but a pair of Shang Li's cold eyes immediately became empty. "Okay, don't be hard-mouthed! If I don't see the money in two days, I'll have to ask you out! I don't believe that you can come up with ten dollars as a thief, don't steal it, right? ”
Li Buqi rolled his eyes: "How can I get money and it's your bird business!" Don't get out of here! ”
It's good to have the ability, and you have enough confidence to pretend to be forced. After Niu Er left, Li Buqi asked Li Lei: "Daddy, why did our family borrow so much money?" ”
Niu Er couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he saw Li Buqi clenching his fists. Since he put aside the cruel words, Niu Er hurriedly left with three thugs shaking his arms.
Li Lei sighed, and the lady who was leaning across the door poked her head in and said, "Where are there so many?" It's all rolled up. You ran away without saying a word, although the little fat man later brought a letter, but your mother fell ill in a hurry. Your father borrowed the usual money to treat your mother's illness. ”
It's so dark! didn't care about it, Li Buqi hurriedly asked the old lady: "How is my mother's illness?" ”
"It's almost ready. When I saw you come back, I didn't have any sickness. ”
Looking carefully at the old lady's face, it didn't seem to be a big problem, and she asked the father again before relieving her heart. Now we have to think about making money, and the originally very calm plan can only be advanced. Li Buqi turned around and went back to the house to take out his past clothes to see that they were a lot smaller, and it was not suitable to wear them out, so he had to wear this dirty outfit, then rolled out a few pieces of rice paper, took out a piece of wood on the bookshelf, and found a piece of cold cooking cake and a few pieces of charcoal left over from the winter from the kitchen, and said to his father and mother: "My lord, my son will earn money now." You can wait at home. ”
The old lady felt sorry for her son, so she hurriedly grabbed him: "Oh, where are you going to earn so much money in three days?" It's a big deal, we don't want this yard. ”
Li Buqi comforted the old lady and said, "Mother rest assured." Now that the child has learned the skill, it is not difficult to make ten times of money. My mother is waiting at home. ”
