Chapter 53: Cause and Effect
Tao Shen stopped, he looked at the warmth in front of him, and silently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"I didn't want to talk to you about this, but I was a little worried, and I don't know if there will be a chance in the future."
looked at the man in front of her warmly, she was no longer as handsome as she used to be, but she was told to keep it in her heart all these years.
"You were terrible?"
Terrible?
Someone once asked Tao Shen such a question, how did he answer it at that time?
It's a winter day, and the town in Jiangnan is still in full swing.
It happened to be a bazaar, and the small traders were selling to each other, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going.
A skinny little hand took the big bun from the vendor's stall and ran.
The peddler was busy, and when he turned around, he scolded angrily, "The little rabbit cub will take your Uncle Wang's buns again, and Uncle Wang will tell you to cut off your children and grandchildren." ”
The boy stuck out his tongue and ran away with a puff of smoke.
When Uncle Wang was feeling unlucky, an older child came back with the child just now.
"Uncle, is this your bun?"
This big one is well-dressed, but it is also tattered when he looks at it, his hands are covered with chilblains, but he carefully holds this bun, and he looks at people with big eyes, which makes Uncle Wang's heart soft.
"Good boy, I'm glad you're sorry. These, you hold. ”
said that he took two more big buns from the steamer on the side and raced them into the child's arms.
The eldest child blushed, and the little one red-eyed.
Uncle Wang sighed, "Eat it while it's hot." ”
The eldest child took the bun and thanked Uncle Wang, and gave half to the small one, the little man stared at the bun in his hand, looked at Uncle Wang embarrassedly, and said "I'm sorry".
Uncle Wang waved his hand and went to work.
There were two people sitting in the teahouse next to him, one big and one small, and the little boy looked at this scene and shouted, "What an interesting beggar." ”
The old man looked at this scene but laughed, "Let's go, old man, I'll take you to see a more interesting scene." ”
The big beggar downstairs was aware of it, but he just turned around, but there was nothing unusual, so he separated from the little beggar and left with confidence.
The two followed behind the beggar, and the little boy complained vigorously, "Dad, this place is dilapidated and old, why do you have to come here." ”
The old man remained silent and continued to follow.
After a while, the beggar finally stopped in front of a dilapidated and dilapidated house, knocked on the door, and after a while, someone came forward to open the door, and then the little boy saw that it was the little beggar who had been arrested.
The little boy was dumbfounded, he never expected that these two people would collude.
"This ......"
The old man smiled slightly, "It's an interesting child." ”
The little boy blushed, "This is too shameless." ”
The old man smiled silently, and the little boy pouted and followed the old man into the room.
This place is really shabby, only a small room can barely live in people, the little boy entered the door, only to find that there are dozens of people crowded here.
This winter, the airflow is not smooth, so that the pampered little boy almost didn't get angry.
The old man calmly stepped in.
The big beggar just came out with a bun, and at a glance at the two people who were out of place in the courtyard, he subconsciously stepped forward and stood in front of everyone.
"This is not the place for you to be. Come on! ”
The little boy looked at this person with a look of anger, pursed his lips, and said secretly in his heart: "You think I want to come." ”
The old man laughed, "Tao Aniu? ”
The big beggar suddenly became nervous, "Are you looking for Tao Aniu?" There's no such person here, please go back. ”
The old man was still not angry, and continued to tell, "I have a friend who is a teacher. He passed away this year, and I felt sorry for a student before leaving, who would have thought that the world is impermanent, after the child's mother left, he himself had no news, my friend, a good teacher, when he was dying, he also specially instructed me to find this child. I don't know where this person is now? ”
When the beggar listened to this man talk about Mr. Teach, he had already buried his head, and he remembered the few days when Mr. taught him earnestly, and the teaching on the occasion of farewell, he now had no face to see Mr., Mr. is a good man, and there will be a good afterlife.
When the beggar raised his head again, he still shook his head, "If you are looking for this Tao Ah Niu, you are indeed looking for the wrong one." ”
The old man looked at this man stubbornly, but he did not get angry, but gave up his hand, "In this case, then I am bothering." ”
After that, he went out with the little boy
The little boy followed the old man and moved out, it was obvious that this person was Tao Aniu, but this person didn't admit it.
He turned his head to look at his father, "Dad, this person is so strange, if he admits it, we will definitely give him money, why is he so stupid." ”
The old man touched Mi'er's head, "Yes, he's stupid, Mi'er, why don't you persuade him?" If you can persuade him, I will grant you a great red horse. ”
"Really?" Mi'er's eyes lit up, this big red horse was what he wanted for a long time, and his father always thought that he couldn't ride this big horse, but now he got it so easily.
Mi'er thought about it carefully, "Dad, you have nothing to do with that kid, right?" ”
It made the old man speechless, "You ghost boy, don't think about it quickly." ”
Mi'er looked back at the dilapidated alley, winding and twisting, and I didn't know where it leads.
Today's Mi'er and Ah Niu didn't expect what kind of relationship they had to do with their lives in the dark.
In the small dilapidated house, Ah Niu boiled a pot of hot water, mixed steamed buns, and served them to the old man lying in the innermost room.
The old man shivered and drank the water, "Ah Niu, you should go with them." ”
Ah Niu didn't speak, "Old Ge, what you taught me is that you can't be ungrateful." ”
Ge Lao shook his head, "I'm just a down-and-out account room, how can I teach you a lot, you should go out and look outside." It's not your fault that you don't dwell on the past all the time. ”
Ah Niu didn't speak, coaxing Ge Lao to sleep.
"I know, I just can't get over my own hurdle."
This night, the night is as cold as water.
The life of the great beggar changed from this day on.
When I go out every day, I haven't gotten to the place where I used to begg, the small bowl is full, and I go to pick up some things, but it is something brand new or a whole set.
Accidentally stepped on a broken shadow on the road again, Ah Niu sighed helplessly, looking at the little boy hiding behind the hawker behind him, he really didn't know what to say.
So, as soon as the little boy poked his head out, the person disappeared, and he was so anxious that he immediately called someone.
Before he could say anything, someone asked in his ear, "Little Master, are you looking for me?" ”
Frightened, the little boy jumped back, and the two got closer, and the little boy saw that this person had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was very good-looking.
"You ......" the little boy pointed to the beggar, unable to say a word.
