"Restaurant", this is a small restaurant that Lao Sun Tou has opened for more than 40 years, the ruthless years have crawled all over his vicissitudes of life, and the original green silk has gradually turned white unconsciously.

At this time, the warm morning light has just risen, and it is selflessly shining on the people who come and go on the bluestone street.

Leaning on the counter with both hands, looking at the children playing in front of the store, the young people full of vitality, and the old grandson showed a warm smile as in the past.

"Come to think of it, I was young myself. In those young days, I also had ideals in my arms, full of vitality, and traveled in all directions!"

"It's just that in these endless years, every life will eventually grow old and die! Ideals will eventually turn into dreams, courage into sighs, and bodies into a handful of loess. ”

However, when he thinks of his youth, the old grandson will think of his old wife who has passed away for more than ten years. The smile gradually turned into longing, and finally into a short sigh.

With a sigh, he turned his head to look at his son Xiao Sun Tou, who was greeting a table of four customers, and he couldn't help but smile happily on his face.

The little grandson has been very diligent since he was a child, and now he is almost thirty years old.

As soon as I remembered that Dr. Liu said that the daughter-in-law might be pregnant with a grandson, the smile in the old grandson's eyes became even stronger.

However, when he took a closer look at the four strange guests that his son was greeting, the smile in the old grandson's eyes turned solemn.

The four of them are all young people about 20 years old, with their hair tied as crowns, and they all wear the same green robes, which are excellent in color and fabric, and they are not ordinary people can afford to wear them.

Each of them had a black brocade bag hanging from their waists and carried a long sword, but the most conspicuous thing was the pattern on their chests, a pale red pattern in the style of a mountain.

For Lao Suntou, although he has not experienced any strong wind and rain, he recognizes this pattern. He knew that in front of this red pattern, he himself might not even be an ant!

The four people ordered a few dishes, a plate of braised duck, a plate of beef in sauce, a sweet and sour carp, a bean curd soup, and two pots of apricot blossom wine.

Although the dishes have been served, no one wants to do anything, but they ask Xiao Sun Tou about this Yashui town.

"A few distinguished guests, you are asking the right person!" Looking at the ingot of gold that the thin-faced young man in front of him took out, Xiao Suntou's face was full of smiles.

"My little grandson grew up in this Yashui Town since he was a child, and his ancestors and grandchildren have all been from here, and I recognize every tree and stone in and out of the town, let alone a living person!"

"Well, I think I'm really asking the right question!" said the young man, pleased.

"Listen, the man is an old man with silver hair, he is dressed in a white robe, his beard is long and his chest is long, and he has a fairy wind and bones. Maybe there was a gourd hanging from his waist, red as fire, and he was followed by a little girl of six or seven years old, who was very delicate. ”

"Old grandson, grandpa said that he was dying, and wanted to taste the sweet and sour carp you made again."

But before Xiao Sun Tou could answer, he was interrupted by an anxious and immature voice outside the store.

You don't have to turn around and look at the person who is talking, Xiao Sun Tou already knows who is coming.

The speaker was a little boy, about eight or nine years old, with a red string around his neck, and a blue bead the size of a finger fell from the red string.

His tattered clothes were covered with patches, and his bare black feet were like beggars.

However, his loose hair and thin, swarthy face were very clean, without a trace of dust or dirt.

For the child outside the door, in this Yashui Town, I am afraid there is no one who knows better than Xiao Sun Tou!

About two years ago, the little boy and the old beggar, who had lost a leg, begged all the way to Yashui Town.

Like other ordinary beggars, they live by begging and wander around. However, since the old beggar had no legs, when they arrived here, they chose to stay here for a long time.

Yashui Town is not big, with a population of 20,000, but they are not the only beggars. Just because he was the youngest beggar here, he got the name of a little beggar.

On the first day the little beggar arrived in the town, he became a celebrity, and everyone in ten miles and eight towns knew that a little beggar had come to Yashui Town.

He always said at the beginning: "The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring"!

If you give him money, he will never want it, but just ask him to buy some food!

If a person does not give him food, he does not get angry, but bows to him and leaves.

For a while, everyone thought it was ridiculous, if you don't beg, don't ask for help, and don't want money, can you still be called a beggar?

However, on the sixth day of his arrival, when the people saw him, there was no contempt or contempt for him, and many people were extremely willing to give him food, and at the same time shout "little madman"!

The beginning of it all had to start with the evening of the fifth day.

It was raining lightly that evening, and the little beggar took shelter from the rain in front of the shop, and the little grandson gave the little beggar less than half of the sweet and sour carp that the guests had eaten.

But at this moment, five beggars in their thirties surrounded him, told him to put the fish down, and immediately left Yashui Town.

Even after a long time, the little grandson will never forget what happened that evening.

Although he put down the fish, at the same time, the beggars were knocked to the ground by him in an instant!

Two of them had one ear gnawed off, one had two fingers missing from the palm of his hand, and the other two were no better, because they had two less pieces of flesh and two more scars on their thighs.

Every time he thinks of that day, Xiao Sun Tou still can't believe his eyes, how can a child who is only eight or nine years old have so much strength in his thin body?

Everyone knows that the little beggar has a rule, that is, he never asks for food from others for nothing.

He always patted his chest and said: "The grace of a meal should be repaid with death!

So, everyone let him run errands and do what he could. Later, as long as any family is short of manpower, they will call him for help.

What surprised people was that although he was barefoot, he ran extremely fast, so the "little madman" gradually became "little wind".

But for him, no matter what people call him, he always responds immediately and never gets angry.

"What the hell is going on? Tell me something slowly, don't be in a hurry. The old grandson immediately stepped forward and asked.

"The old man said that he didn't have much time, and he was about to die! Old grandson, the old man said that he liked the sweet and sour carp you made the most, and he wanted to taste it again today. ”

"You little beggar, where did you come from! Go away, don't disturb our Yaxing!"

Next to the thin-faced young man, a young man with a slightly chubby face had dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"You go to the old grandson, the old man is still waiting!"

The little beggar seemed to have heard of the young man's words, and only cared about urging the old grandson.

"Didn't you hear Grandpa's words?

The young man stood up at once, his eyes burning with anger.

His voice was so loud that it echoed around like thunder, and for a moment, the customers in the store and the pedestrians outside the store all cast surprised eyes.

"Senior brother, isn't he just a beggar, don't worry about him, he doesn't deserve to be angry!" the thin-faced young man smiled and persuaded.

"Hmph, it's okay not to care, if you are willing to kneel down and beg me, and call 'Grandpa spare your life' three times, then I will let you go as a fart!"

At this time, the youth's anger turned to ridicule.

"Please raise your noble hand, don't worry about this child, today's food is a small shop!" Seeing that the situation was not right, the old grandson hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and smiled.

"Get out of the way, little mortal!

"Little beggar, have you thought about it? If you are willing to beg me, don't say that I don't care about you, even this sweet and sour carp is yours. The boy sat down with a happy face.

Raising his head and looking at the pattern on the young man's chest, the old grandson was silent.

He knew deep down that in front of this young man, he was indeed unworthy.

Thinking of this, he could only turn his head to look at the little beggar, ready to make him compromise.

But the little beggar shouted loudly and slammed into the boy!

"Bang!" For a while, the young man was unprepared for a while, and was directly knocked on his back, and the tables, chairs and benches flew everywhere.

Not to mention the old grandson, everyone never expected that this little beggar would do it directly!

However, although he knocked the other party over, the little beggar was not much better, and his head hit the other table leg directly, and his face was covered in blood.

"Okay! Since you are looking for death, then grandpa will fulfill you!"

The boy immediately stood up out of thin air, and suddenly there was a deterrent force that forced people to retreat, and everyone only felt that it was a little difficult to breathe.

And just as everyone was exclaiming, the young man's right hand was already grabbing the little beggar's neck!
