Sure enough, the young man walked faster and faster, tiptoeing against the old man's back, but the old man didn't notice it at all. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the blink of an eye, the money bag on the old man's body was in the hands of the young man. Juvenile.
When the boy succeeded, he took the money bag into his bosom, turned around and hurried down the road where he had come.
When the boy passed by Zhang Bao'er, Zhang Bao'er stopped him.
"What are you going to do?" The young man stared at Zhang Bao'er vigilantly.
"Brother! I know it's not easy for you to get a business! Zhang Baoer pointed to the grandparents and grandchildren in front: "But you can't take their silver?" ”
"Who are you? Why do you mind my business? The boy asked rhetorically.
"It doesn't matter who I am! I didn't mean to spoil you! Zhang Bao'er sighed and said: "Just now I happened to hear the old man say that the silver on his body was used to catch medicine for his wife, and the old man saw that his family was not rich, and I don't know how he got the silver, if you just took it away, wouldn't it be a delay in a life?" ”
The boy was silent.
Zhang Bao'er looked at the young man, and saw that he was dressed shabby and had vegetables on his face, so he smiled slightly and said: "I see that brother, you are also a person who has suffered hardships, who has no difficulties?" Think about the hardships you have endured, compare your heart to your heart, and let him go! ”
Perhaps it was Zhang Bao'er's words that moved the young man, and the young man sighed and said, "However, I have already succeeded, how can I pay him back?" ”
"That's easy!" Zhang Baoer stretched out her hand: "Give it to me, I'll solve it!" ”
The young man hesitated, but still took out the money bag from his arms and handed it to Zhang Bao'er.
Zhang Baoer took the money bag, hurried a few steps, and caught up with the grandfather and grandson.
"This old gentleman, this is your money bag, right?"
The old man turned his head, looked at the money bag in Zhang Baoer's hand, and hurriedly touched his body, sure enough, the money bag was gone, and he hurriedly said: "It's mine, it's mine, thank you so much!" ”
"No thanks!" Zhang Baoer smiled slightly, handed over the money bag, and did not forget to say: "Old man, next time you must put it away!" ”
The old man thanked him for his kindness and left, and when Zhang Baoer turned his head to look at the young man again, the young man was gone.
Coming out of Dongshi, it was already noon, Zhang Bao'er touched her gurgling belly, but could only smile bitterly and shake her head.
When passing by Yiyang Fang, Zhang Baoer suddenly stopped.
"Tiantong Casino!" Zhang Baoer looked at the plaque of the gambling house on the street and smiled on her face.
Yiyangfang is next to the East Market, which is naturally also lively, and the shouting of the East Market is more like an earthquake.
The streets of Yiyangfang are painted with high eaves on both sides, and there are many buildings, restaurants, pawnshops, calligraphy and painting shops, etc. Compared with the bustle of other stores, Tiantong Casino is crowded.
Zhang Baoer often goes in and out of the gambling house, and naturally knows that the gamblers sleep like dead pigs at this time, and most of them come here at night.
Zhang Baoer and Hou Jie came to Chang'an, and there was not much entanglement on their bodies, in order to place an order in Ci'en Temple, Zhang Baoer gave the silver to Yuan Jue, and there were only a few coins of silver left on his body. It is difficult to go out without money, not to mention that this is in Chang'an, and all kinds of expenses are expensive. Therefore, Zhang Baoer hit the idea of this gambling house.
The gambling house is open for twelve hours a day, and although there are few gamblers at this time, it does not prevent Zhang Baoer from making a little money.
In the gambling house, Zhang Baoer made a cautious move, and every bet must be hit, and he quietly won seven or eight taels of silver in a moment.
Zhang Baoer accepted it when she saw it, and quietly left the gambling house.
Zhang Baoer thought that he was unaware, but he didn't know that his actions had fallen into the eyes of someone with a heart, who was the shopkeeper of Tiantong Casino.
Looking at Zhang Bao'er's back, Shopkeeper Hu called a dealer and asked, "Has this young man been here before?" ”
The dealer shook his head: "It's a fresh face, it's the first time I've seen it!" ”
Shopkeeper Hu bowed slightly.
"Shopkeeper, why don't I go with him and get to the bottom of him?" The dealer asked tentatively.
"No need!" Shopkeeper Hu waved his hand and said, "If he comes again next time, remember to inform me!" ”
"Yes! Shopkeeper's! ”
Zhang Baoer found a restaurant and had a beautiful meal.
Of course, he didn't forget to bring Hou Jie a roast chicken.
was about to leave, but Zhang Baoer suddenly remembered that there was another Cen Shaobai in the same room. He shook his head, bought another roast chicken, and a small jar of wine by the way.
In the west, Zhang Baoer returned to Ci'en Temple with a bamboo basket, and he was afraid of being seen by other monks, so he quietly returned to the incense room where he lived.
"Bao'er, why did you come back!" As soon as Hou Jie saw Zhang Bao'er, he complained: "Master Yuanjue has been looking for you twice!" ”
Zhang Baoer knew that it must be Yuan Jue's master who had returned to the temple, and he was looking for himself to say that Hou Jie was hanging a single matter.
Zhang Bao'er handed a small bamboo basket to Hou Jie: "Monkey, see what I brought you?" ”
Hou Jie took the basket, opened it and saw the roast chicken and wine inside, his face was green, he was terrified, and whispered: "Bao'er, you are too bold, this is not Baoshan Temple, if we let others know, we will drive it out!" ”
"Who will know if you don't say?" Zhang Baoer said disapprovingly.
"But ......"
Hou Jie wanted to say something, but Zhang Baoer waved his hand and said, "Okay, listen to me, you can eat with confidence!" I'll go meet Monk Yuanjue and come back right away! ”
When she went out, Zhang Baoer glanced at Cen Shaobai, who was still sitting at the desk in the same posture as he was in the morning. Zhang Baoer was very curious: This person is not stupid.
With his memory, Zhang Baoer came to Zhikeliao and happened to meet the monk Purun.
"Master Purun, how are you?" Zhang Baoer greeted Purun.
Seeing that it was Zhang Bao'er, Pu Run hurriedly saluted and said, "It turned out to be Zhang Shizhu, but you asked Master Jingxiu to ask about the matter?" ”
"Is Master Pure Cultivation here?" Zhang Baoer asked.
Purun was very enthusiastic: "Here, the poor monk will take Zhang Shizhu to go!" ”
"Wait!" Zhang Bao'er asked again, "Master Yuanjue is here?" ”
"Senior Brother Yuanjue is also here!" Purun replied.
Zhang Bao'er pondered: "Master Purun, please help me call Master Yuanjue out, okay?" ”
"No problem!" Purun nodded, and went to Zhikeliao.
Zhang Bao'er said in the back: "Master Purun, you quietly call Master Yuanjue out, don't alarm the others!" ”
Purun didn't understand what Zhang Baoer meant, but still nodded in agreement.
After a while, Yuan Jue followed Pu Run.
Yuan Jue said to Purun: "You go and get busy!" ”
"Yes, senior brother!" Purun turned and left.
When Purun walked away, Yuan Jue said to Zhang Bao'er apologetically: "Master Zhang, your poor monk told Master Jingxiu about your matter, but ......"
"Shh Before Yuan Jue finished speaking, Zhang Bao'er interrupted him: "There are so many fragrant guest rooms in the Temple of Mercy and Grace, I think there is no need to trouble Master Jingxiu for this little thing, we can't live for a few days, Master Yuan Jue can just look at it!" ”
As she spoke, Zhang Bao'er had already stuffed a small ingot of silver into Yuan Jue's hand.
After that, Zhang Baoer said goodbye to Yuan Jue: "Don't disturb Master Yuan Jue, farewell!" ”
Yuan Jue wanted to speak, but he didn't say anything, looked at Zhang Bao'er's back, quietly put the silver in his hand into his arms, turned around and entered Zhikeliao again.
