Liu Yunwen had just walked out of the middle school in Wuma Town when she met an old man begging for her.

Liu Yunwen is 15 years old. He is in the third year of junior high school in Wuma Town. She has a tall figure and a ruddy melon seed face. The eyebrows are delicate, a naughty little mouth, and there is an innate heroism between the eyebrows. With a bunch of ponytail hair tied on her head, swaying with her walking pace, a well-fitting school uniform makes her look youthful and lively, and there is a hint of naughtiness and spirit.

She came to pick up her brother Liu Jingwen, today is Saturday, she was going home with her brother yesterday afternoon, but her brother was delayed yesterday afternoon, so she had to make an appointment to go home today. My brother Liu Jingwen is 18 years old this year, and he is in his third year of high school in Xizhou County, and he will take the college entrance examination in two months. Just now, her brother called her and said that she could go to the town at half past 12, so at 12 o'clock, Liu Yunwen packed up and walked out of school to pick up her brother. Liu Yunwen is in her third year of junior high school in the town, and she will also take the high school entrance exam this year.

Wuma Town is a large town in the southernmost part of Xizhou County, located in the depths of Jiufeng Mountain, bordering eastern Guangdong and western Guangxi provinces, and 40 kilometers away from Xizhou County. It is the traffic artery leading to eastern Guangdong and western Guangxi in ancient times, and it is also the necessary place for salt merchants to lead to Huxiang and Central Plains in ancient times in eastern Guangdong. With a radius of more than 1,000 kilometers, Jiufeng Mountain is the junction of the three provinces of eastern Guangdong, southern Hunan and western Guangxi, and 80% of the area is dense primeval forest. Wuma Town is also a big town in the Jiufeng Mountains, and it is a place where the Han, Yao, Miao and Zhuang ethnic groups live together. Even if you don't catch the market on weekdays, there are still a lot of people in the town, and if you meet the market day, Wuma Town will be lively. The mountain people near the three neighboring counties will gather here to catch the market, sell some home-grown fruits and vegetables or mountain animal skins, and then buy some necessary daily necessities to go back. Of course, there were also many businessmen who came from the county seat and from eastern Guangdong and western Guangxi. Five Horse Town mountain goods, cinnamon, eucommia and animal skins. Therefore, it attracted a large number of merchants from outside, and these merchants brought a lot of various trendy and new daily necessities from outside, which was dazzling, making this township located in the hinterland of Jiufeng Mountain seem very prosperous. Today, Wuma Town is not a market, and the people in the town are not as many as they were in the past.

Liu Yunwen startled the old man who suddenly appeared beside her. Because this old man did not look like a beggar at all, he looked like he was in his 60s, his clothes were tattered, but they were very clean, his hair and beard were a little long, but his face was radiant, and his eyes flashed with a sharp essence. If he doesn't say anything, he can't tell that he's a beggar at all. So when Liu Yunwen walked to his side, he suddenly made a voice that really scared her.

"Alright, alright! Beautiful little girl! The old man cautiously stretched out his hand to Liu Yunwen and said.

Liu Yunwen was originally a kind-hearted girl, chivalrous and warm-hearted. Seeing the old man's begging appearance, she immediately took out five yuan from her body and handed it to the old man.

I don't want the old man to wave his hand at him and say, "I don't want money!" ″

"Huh? Liu Yunwen looked at the old man a little surprised and strange. Say, "Wow? Old man."

The old man rubbed his hands together embarrassedly and said, "That's right, I haven't eaten for a few days, so you can treat me to a meal!" I know you're kind. ”

Liu Yunwen glanced at the old man and asked, "How do you know that I have a good heart?" ”

The old man smiled slyly: "Look at the money you gave me just now, I will know." It's five dollars when you make a move, and others don't give that much."

Liu Yunwen pouted and whispered, "That's because people don't have change." Liu Yunwen's family background is actually not very good, she and her brother are both in school, everything is dependent on her father Liu Hanjiang to work alone, she can take out five yuan to the old man is already very dedicated, usually she spends money herself is also very thrifty, this is still saved by her frugality, and she is not willing to use it.

The old man seemed a little unwilling, and said to Liu Yunwen: "Little girl, you can do it, invite me to dinner!" I will be forever grateful to you. ”

Liu Yunwen turned around and looked around, and saw that there was no fast food selling nearby, so she said to the old man: "There is no fast food sold here, I'll give you five yuan, you can go over there and buy food yourself!"

The old man shook his head and insisted, "I don't want money, little girl, if you really pity my old man, you can treat me to a meal!" Look, isn't there a restaurant that sells food? With that, he pointed to a cafeteria not far from the school.

Lang Yunwen looked back, and her voice couldn't help but rise, "Hey! Are you mistaken, it's the most expensive place in town, where can I afford to invite you to eat there? Liu Yunwen looked at the old man and couldn't help but be angry and funny, she had never been to that place herself.

The restaurant opposite is called "Come Again" Restaurant, which is one of the best restaurants in Wuma Town, and the specialty fish taste made by this restaurant is famous far and wide. Both the people in the town and the merchants who come to the town to do business generally like to come to this shop to eat, and the reason why this shop is called "come again" is because anyone who has eaten in this shop once will definitely want to come again next time they come to Wuma Town.

The owner of the shop is Tian Gengqing, 30 years old, from Tiandong Village near Wuma Town, and his father is the local village party secretary. When he was young, he was originally a gangster in Wuma Town, and he led a group of little brothers to fight and kill all day long, and later when he was older, he changed his ways and opened the shop with the help of Mo Jiyan, the head of the police station, and her father. Although Tian Gengqing used to be a bastard, he is still very honest and righteous in business, which is why his hotel business is so prosperous. Usually, some officials from above also like to come to him for dinner, and it is also a designated restaurant in the town.

The old man salivated and said to Liu Yunwen: "We only eat and don't need much money, and we don't drink." ”

Looking at the old man, Liu Yunwen was not only a little angry in her heart, but also thought to herself, how can there be such a person in the world? I want to fall and leave, and I don't want to lithium him anymore.

The old man looked at Liu Yunwen's face, and felt that she seemed to be a little angry, knowing that she wanted to leave and ignored him, so he hurriedly said: "Girl, let me tell you the truth, I wandered from a far away, I have no relatives here, and I am already penniless." I have only three months left in my life, so you can do it, let me have a full meal in the last days of this world! "It's very pitiful.

Liu Yunwen originally wanted to leave, but when she saw that the old man said it was so pitiful, she couldn't help but feel compassion again.
