Ninety-three Strangers
On the fourth day, Pei Qingyu, who looked confused, found Muramasa: "Why don't you see the children looking for me to get money these days?" ”
She didn't know how things had changed, she just felt that it was very strange that the children who had been active suddenly disappeared, the countryside was already poor, and the children could have a chance to earn two copper coins a day, not only were they happy, but their parents were also quite supportive, why did they suddenly give up?
Lao Cun Zheng is old, he has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, and he is not as angry and overly as others, but he still retains his senses, and with a wry smile, he whispered to Pei about everyone's emotional riot yesterday.
Pei whispered that some people actually thought that Chen Lihua was deceiving people, so she wrinkled her good-looking eyebrows, and said firmly word by word: "Sister Chen said yes, then it must be okay, she won't deceive people." ”
"This land has been cursed by God, how can she be a woman who can do it?" An unruly voice came from behind, it was the young man who was the first to shout yesterday, he said the earliest yesterday, scolded the hardest, and at this time he had become a person who dared to speak out, a fighter against the powerful, and a representative of the voice of the people.
Pei frowned softly and didn't speak, she wanted to say that Chen Lihua, as the princess of the Great Jin Dynasty, inherited the will of heaven, and there were hidden ghosts and tricks, so she was naturally omnipotent. But His Highness said that she was not allowed to reveal her true identity, and she could only endure it.
"It's only been four days, are you so anxious? Can't wait a few more days? ”
"It's been four days, and not a single seed has sprouted, and if it can come out, it will come out yesterday, isn't it all dead?" The young man laughed loudly.
"You don't believe it, you can. But please don't stop people from coming and helping. Pei whispered that it didn't make sense, so he simply stopped arguing with him, wanting to ignore him, just a clown who jumped off the beam, and waited until the day of germination, who was who and the unnatural truth was revealed.
"Someone else? There is no one else! Do you still believe it? What about you? Well? The young man stretched out his hand and pointed in the crowd, and the people who were pointed at him waved their hands again and again, Zhang Wei retreated, if there were still people willing to stand up and say a fair word yesterday, then after yesterday's "unification of thought", no one dared to speak. Everyone thinks it's not good, but you think you can wait, are you collecting money? Or are you greedy for other people's beauty? In short, there must be a wrong heart!
The tall and thin young man opened his hands and opened his arms to the crowd. "Everyone speaks freely, some people are still willing to believe these yellow-haired girls, don't be afraid, you can come out and say it directly." The result was predictable, not only did no one answer, but not even a single one spoke, and people seemed to be playing a game of bowing their heads, to see who was lower, and they could be worthy of it.
Pei Qingyu saw that no one dared to come out, and he was a little disappointed in his heart. On that day by the river, twelve big men and a childish child, laughing with her vividly, but now those familiar people are still in the crowd, but their heads are slightly lower than the others, and they do not want to stand up.
"In that case, please don't stop me from repairing the pipeline." Pei took a deep breath and said in a steady tone.
"If this kind of seed doesn't sprout for a day, I will walk by this bamboo road for a day! If this kind of seed does not sprout, I will continue to walk, year after year, year after month. After saying that, he ignored the other people's eyes and walked along the pipe by himself.
Her words made the crowd a little commotion, but there was still no different voice, looking at Pei Qingyu's back, like a lone hero, sensing that the public opinion of the crowd had a tendency to turn, the thin and tall young man narrowed his eyes.
In the afternoon, the sky was cloudless, the sun was scorching, and there was not a trace of coolness in the stagnant air. The appearance of her hair sticking to her sideburns with fine sweat was a little embarrassed, Pei whispered and just walked quietly, there were many pedestrians coming and going on the path, some came to the river to fetch water, and some went to do laundry, she didn't look at them, so naturally she didn't need to pay attention to their eyes.
Walking and walking, a little chubby dun came over, she knew him, he was the most greedy in this group of children, and everyone else took copper coins to say thank you sister and left, so he also twisted and asked, "Sister, can this money be exchanged for sugar crisp?" She just thought it was funny, so she exchanged the copper coin for three pieces of snack, and as a result, he went home and was almost beaten to death by his parents who didn't know, and the next day she cried and cried for a long time, but when it came time to send money, in addition to the two copper coins a day, she also gave all the children an extra piece of snack, and on the third day, because of the greedy mouth accident, he was surrounded by children of different ages, proud, and had become the new child king.
Fat Dun trotted over, held his knees and panted and said: "Sister, we have already checked the front, there is no problem, I have contacted the companions of the other three groups, and everyone is still willing to help you watch, but I can't go to you again in the future." ”
Pei Qingyu looked at him sweating like rain, a little moved, took out a handkerchief and wanted to help him wipe his sweat, the little fat dun took a few steps back, waved his hand and excused. Pei Qingyu saw that he was working so hard, and said softly: "Then where do you say I should put my daily copper coins and snacks?" ”
I know that the little chubby dun shook his head again, and also whispered: "My mother won't let me go to you, saying that you and Miss Chen, one stupid and the other bad, are not good people, let me stay away." I found that I seemed to have said something terrible, and I touched my head again and said: "Of course, I don't believe it, you and Miss Chen are both good people, even if we can't ask for this money and snacks, and I can't help you after the money is found by my parents." It's the same with dim sum, after eating, I can't eat and my mother will find a problem. ”
Saying that, he woke up and snorted, and smirked: "Anyway, you gave me more snacks two days ago, didn't you?" ”
Pei Qingyu felt that the tip of her nose was a little sour, and hummed softly. Suddenly, I heard a snarky voice coming from behind me. "Da Mao, what are you doing there?"
Seeing that he had been discovered by his mother, Fat Dun walked away with a sad face and muttered, "I, I just want to order more food." ”
The village woman did not doubt him, so she twisted his ears angrily and scolded: "You don't have long eyes, you know how to eat and eat all day long, aren't you unlucky to be with that fool?" What will others say about our family when they see it? ”
The little fat man was submissive, honestly followed his mother home, and secretly turned around and winked at Pei Whispering while his mother was not paying attention, but he was slapped again. Pei Qingyu only felt some coke, and after resting, he continued to move forward. She will not forget the kindness of the children, but she will never go back on what she said.
