Chapter 6: The Old Beggar

(Thanks to yschr2007, thank you for your support, I saw the light of day and worked harder.) )

Just after walking a few steps, Su Tiancheng suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the sixth sense reminded him that someone was following him behind him. This is the horse market, where people come and go, and he doesn't know why he feels like this.

Su Tiancheng turned around abruptly and was startled when he saw the person following him.

The people who followed behind him, his hair was unkempt, his face was very small, his face was dusty, there was a lot of dirt, and his little face was like a baked cake, only a big nose and a big mouth were exposed, and they were covered by stains.

This is a beggar.

Su Tiancheng was secretly surprised, not because of this person's dress, or his identity as a beggar, but because he had been wandering around the horse market for a long time, and he didn't know that it was too strange for Lu Dao to follow such a person.

"Sir, it's okay, I haven't eaten in a few days......"

The beggar stretched out his hand, it was not a hand, it was about the same as a chicken claw, the color of the skin could not be seen, the whole thing was swarthy, and I don't know how long the road had not been cleaned.

The beggar's body exuded a strange sour smell, like the smell of a rancid meal, which was disgusting.

The people in the horse market did not feel the existence of the old beggar, and many people walked straight past as if they did not see it.

Enduring the unpleasant smell, Su Tiancheng also thought about leaving, but he didn't know what Lu Dao was for, he just couldn't take a step, and when he saw this beggar, he had a special feeling in his heart.

"Uncle, you come with me."

Su Tiancheng pulled the war horse with his left hand and held the beggar's hand with his right hand.

The beggar's body trembled slightly.

"Master, if there is any leftovers, if you reward me with a bite, I will be grateful."

Su Tiancheng didn't let go of the beggar's hand, pulled the beggar, led the war horse, and walked straight towards the nearest baked cake shop.

This scene was too strange, and soon, the eyes of the surrounding eyes shot over, and the sound of discussion came out.

"Look, this old beggar, good luck, I met the big boss......"

"Hee-hee, things gather by like, people by groups......"

"It's strange, this person is wearing a brocade robe, and his identity is not simple, how can he hold the beggar's hand......"

The surrounding discussions reached Su Tiancheng's ears, and he still pulled the beggar and walked towards the baked cake shop.

The beggar was not polite, followed Su Tiancheng, and slowly walked towards the baked cake shop.

The beggar's eyes were very sharp, looking at Su Tiancheng, paying attention to Su Tiancheng's every move.

There are still a lot of shops to buy snacks in the horse market, and people who come here to trade want to eat.

The owner of the baked cake shop, a middle-aged man, saw Su Tiancheng and the beggar coming, and waved while covering his nose.

"Don't come here, I'm a small business, I can't stand the toss, and many people in my family still have to eat......"

"Shopkeeper, I'll buy ten baked cakes."

Su Tiancheng took out a small piece of silver from his arms and was about to hand it to the owner of the baked cake shop.

Who knew that the boss raised his hand and blocked Su Tiancheng's hand.

"Don't you hear me, I don't want your money, I don't want your business, you go and buy baked cakes elsewhere."

Su Tiancheng looked at the boss's contemptuous eyes, and couldn't wait to get rid of this shop, the dog looked down on people, he was not a big person, he was also a small businessman, and he was also a hard-working person, so snobbish and ruthless, could it be said that beggars are so annoying, maybe a few years later, something will happen, and the fate of you, a small boss, is not as good as a beggar.

"Shopkeeper, I buy ten biscuits, I don't want to make trouble, this old man is hungry, I just want to invite the old man to eat biscuits, besides, your roasted biscuits here are fragrant and taste good."

The boss looked at Su Tiancheng and was stunned for a moment, he probably didn't expect that Su Tiancheng not only didn't lose his temper, but also said such comfortable words.

There were a lot of people around who were watching the excitement, many of them were pointing, with a mocking smile on their faces, without scruples, the boss really didn't want to find any trouble, maybe he was also touched, and quickly packed ten baked cakes in a paper bag and handed them to Su Tiancheng.

"Take it, go away, I don't want your money anymore."

"Shopkeeper, I'm here to buy baked cakes, you must pay, the boss's affection, I remember, when I go out, I will always meet some things, I can reach out, I might as well help, thank you."

Su Tiancheng put the broken silver on the table, smiled at the boss, and pulled the beggar away.

From beginning to end, Su Tiancheng was polite and spoke decently.

Ten baked cakes were worth no more than fifty copper plates, and the broken silver on the noodles was at least five denarii, and was worth five hundred copper plates.

The boss hurriedly took out a handful of copper plates from his pocket, and without counting them carefully, he caught up with Su Tiancheng.

"Childe, this is the copper plate looking for you."

"Forget it, don't look for it, if anyone else is hungry in the future, I hope you can help."

After Su Tiancheng and the beggar left for a while, the boss reacted, he turned back to the shop, and spoke to the cousins behind him.

"Hey, I'm embarrassed to burn the cake for fifty copper plates."

"It doesn't matter what you do so much, it's important to do business, the smell of the old beggar just now stinks to death, but fortunately they are gone."

"Do you know what to say, when people are in difficulty, the harvest has not been good in recent years, and there are a lot of beggars in my hometown, if one day relatives come here, do we still ignore it."

The woman looked at the head of the house, and didn't speak for a long time, could it be that someone bought ten baked cakes here, said a few words, and the head of the house changed his temperament, this is really a bit unpredictable.

Su Tiancheng carefully handed the paper bag containing the baked cake to the old beggar, and he had already adapted to the smell of the old beggar.

Su Tiancheng pays attention to his attitude very much, and he can't show a superior momentum in front of a beggar, show the momentum of charity, and no one wants to accept the food that comes to him, a beggar has the same personality.

The old beggar took the paper bag, took out a baked cake, quickly stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it into his stomach in two strokes.

When the old beggar took out the second baked cake, he made a move that made Su Tiancheng stunned.

The old beggar handed the baked cake to Su Tiancheng.

"Childe, you are a good person, I see that you have come to the horse market, and you have not eaten, eat a baked cake."

The old beggar's hands were so dirty that five black fingerprints had been printed on the yellow baked cakes, and no one could eat such baked cakes.

Su Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately took the baked cake.

"Uncle Xie Lu, I'm really a little hungry."

Su Tiancheng took the baked cake, opened his mouth, and was ready to eat.

The reason why Su Tiancheng was able to do this was due to some experiences in his previous life, at that time, he went to the countryside and went to the farmer's house, the teacup handed over by the people was sticky, and the tea in it could not see the color clearly, but you still have to drink it, otherwise you will look down on others, and the cigarettes handed over by the farmer, although they are a few cents a pack, are very difficult to smoke, but you also have to smoke.

The old beggar's action, I don't know what it means, but Su Tiancheng will not refuse, a dirty baked cake can't eat the dead.

"Ha Luha, the old beggar has ten baked cakes, and he may not be able to eat enough, Childe, thank you, thank you, we will have a period later."

Before Su Tiancheng could react, the baked cake in his hand was gone, and what made him even more strange was that the old beggar had disappeared, and the voice seemed to come from far away.

There was still a bustling crowd around, many people holding torches, and the surroundings were brightly lit.

Su Tiancheng shook his head, thinking that everything just now was just a dream.
