Li Zhennan is also a hard-working person, when his father is good at gambling, his mother is paralyzed in bed, a young child does not embark on the road of adultery and criminals, but also on the road of begging, Li Zhennan is a timid person, begging is his only choice, but people have good intentions, but life will never be merciful, and the same is true for gamblers who lose red eyes.

A few copper coins sent to the gambling house are like a stone sinking into the sea, and there are many people who lose tens of thousands of taels of silver, of course, a few copper coins are as light as a fly's legs, but for Li Zhennan, it is so heavy that his waist can't stand up.

When the family property is ruined and clean, only the house with four walls can be exchanged for gambling money, and Li Zhennan's mother, who lives in Qiaodong, can have a chance to survive for a few days?

When his mother died of illness and his father, who was in debt, was beaten to death with a stick for arrears of silver, Li Zhennan escaped the arrest of the gambling thugs, but he also became a homeless little beggar completely.

Literati and writers often say that with the sky as the cover and the earth as the seat, living in the Taoist temple, retreating in the mountains, when the cold wind is shining, the body is not covered and the body is not hungry, presumably no one will say this so comfortably.

Li Zhennan is also a lucky person, after running a few errands for the old shopkeeper with inconvenient legs and feet for the silk shop, the old shopkeeper accepted the clever Li Zhennan, taking care of food and housing, and two taels of silver a year, Li Zhennan no longer has to kneel on the ground every day to beg, five or six years, Li Zhennan can live like a person for the first time.

However, the beauty of the world is always short-lived, people always have a day to grow old, people to the ancient, can eat three bowls of rice at night, early in the morning may go unconsciously, the old shopkeeper did not go unconsciously, he just urgently urinated when the sky was bright, got up to a thatched house, fell in front of the thatched house and could not get up again.

The old shopkeeper has no son, but he has a daughter who is married to a distant family, so she is naturally not interested in taking care of the old shopkeeper's small shop, and Li Zhennan's money is not enough to take over this small shop, the silk shop was changed into a grocery store, and Li Zhennan was also kicked out.

has a few taels of silver, with Li Zhennan's appetite, and then save money, he will not worry about eating and drinking for two years, but what about two years later?

Li Zhennan must find a way out for himself, working in a silk shop for two years, Li Zhennan is not foolish, whether a piece of silk is a good material, from the luster, feel, creases, whether there is a silk sound can be seen, although Li Zhennan is young, but for the identification of good or bad materials is already an expert.

To do small work again, Li Zhennan obviously doesn't want to, his heart is very high, others do it, why can't he do it?

There are 10,000 acres of mulberry fields in Jinfan City in the Central Plains, hundreds of thousands of silkworm breeders, silk in the world is all here, one person and one car, Li Zhennan embarked on the road to Jinfan City, there are thieves who rob in the way, Li Zhennan promised to send benefits when he returned, Xu saw that Li Zhennan was young, or Li Zhennan's temperament convinced the thief, and the thief really let him go to Jinfan City.

And on the return trip, Li Zhennan did send benefits according to the agreement, Li Zhennan kept his promise, the thief naturally harmed his life again, or maybe in order to have oil and water to dig in the future, Li Zhennan returned to Tonglin City safely.

The silk of Jinfan City is a good material of the highest quality, and when it comes to Tonglin City, the price can be tripled, and the dull material produced by Tonglin City is compared to the dazzling Jinfan silk, Li Zhennan's carriage pushed into the street, and it was snatched up without a cup of tea.

Li Zhennan's pockets were bulging, his heart was ruthless, he rented twenty carriages in a row, and went to Jinfan City again, Li Zhennan is certainly not a stingy person, he has earned more money, and the pockets of the thieves on the road are also bulging, the money is getting bigger and bigger, and the carriages have changed from twenty to hundreds, thousands!

There are more and more benefits, and the thieves on the road don't go to rob anymore, they only do one thing, that is, except for Li Zhennan's carriage, all the carriages pass by and all the cars are destroyed and killed!

Li Zhennan is still a good person, the children of poor families have no money to read and write, he founded a school, the roads are muddy and embarrassing, he pays for the construction of roads, when there is a great drought and no grain harvest, he sends people to give porridge, and he has no children, no daughters, lonely and helpless people, he pays money to help.

He was once contemptuously called a beggar, then he was called Nanye, and now he is called Li Dashanren, he doesn't like beggars, and he doesn't like to be called Nanye, but he is very satisfied with the title of Li Dashanren, the more people lack something, the more they hope to get something, Li Zhennan also cares about what others think of.

But Li Zhennan has always had a regret thing, he is old and has a son, warm wine by the big snow stove, and his grandson is around his knees, the regret in Li Zhennan's heart is that he can't have children and grandchildren, he has only one son, since the loss of his wife, he has not renewed the string, not because of his deep feelings for his deceased wife, but that he is old, begging when he was young, kneeling day and night with his legs, and he has a problem when he is old.

Now, no matter how difficult it is to bend his legs, it is like two stiff logs frozen in the snow, and without the dragon head staff in his hand, it is difficult for him to even walk.

But fortunately, he still has a son, his son is smart, his brain is active, and his mouth is alive, such a big foundation is inherited, and Li Zhennan is a proud person.

But today, Li Zhennan is a sad person, when the two figures, one tall and one short, walked out of the darkness, Li Zhennan's lips began to tremble, he had not entered the water for a day, those two lips were like two pieces of dry bark, just trembling, but not spitting out a word.

His throat was dry and painful, as if there was a foreign object blocking his throat, he wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak, he regretted it, not only regretted looking for tangerine peel and cinnamon to rescue his son, but also regretted the lantern in the hand of the next person, it was a yellow paper lantern, which had been used for too long, and it had been whitened, like a white lantern for the dead to guide the way, the fire was dim, but it was bright and dazzling.

"Ahh

Li Zhennan roared miserably, lifted the dragon's head cane and hit the back of the upper and lower people's hands, with a snap, the back of the hand was bruised, the subordinates were in pain, and the white lantern was also knocked to the ground, and the fire ignited the lantern, which burned into a piece in an instant.

"Son! My son!! ”

Li Zhennan dragged his legs down the stairs step by step, but before he could move down the steps, he fell and his face was covered with blood.

"Son! My son!! ”

Li Zhennan lay on the ground, grasped the ground with both hands, and crawled forward little by little.

"Master!!"

The people were frightened, and they all rushed to help Li Zhennan up, and their eyes were also full of tears.

Tangerine peel and cinnamon had already arrived first, untied the corpse on his back, and said sadly: "I'm sorry, I ......"

He looked away, he couldn't speak. (To be continued.) )
