Chapter 109: The Beggar
Of course, Su Heting understands this. But he also believes that Su Bozhang was unaware of the poisonous snake incident.
Because if he stays in the poor countryside and does not have contact with the capital, this is what Su Bozhang wants.
"Let's not talk about that," he said, waving his hand, "let's analyze the situation in front of us......
Besides, Yuan Ning's side, she actually can't settle down these days, and originally wanted to further study the improvement of the loom, but when she entered the studio, she always ran away, and almost injured her hand.
simply came out of the studio and played with Ji Xiu, and by the way, I saw what she needed, so that I could help her make a few toys.
Ji Xiu's toys are different from those outside. Yuan Ning even gave her a small car that could be pulled and run with a rope, and made it into the shape of a duckling.
In the yard, she also made seesaws, small wooden horses, and fishing toys, those small fish carvings are very exquisite, the fish mouth part is installed with iron nails, the fishing hook is made of magnets, and the small fish is also painted.
First, because those fish are of different sizes and shapes, they float and float in the basin, which is very good-looking. Ji Xiu also likes to play, and sits next to the basin with a small fishing rod at every turn.
Then stew fish with Aunt Zhang, cook fish soup or something.
It's rare that the eldest sister is not so busy and can play with herself, Ji Xiu was so happy that she asked Yuan Ning to hold her hand and the two of them fished together.
After playing for a while, Ji Xiu was a little sleepy, so she fell asleep in Yuan Ning's arms, Yuan Ning took Xiao Budian into the house, settled her to sleep, and walked out, feeling a little depressed, so he went outside for a walk, and by the way, he could buy some materials and come back.
Aunt Zhang told her a few words and let her out.
Yuan Ning is dressed in men's clothes, she looks like a thin teenager at a glance, she is inconspicuous in her clothes, and she looks very ordinary when she walks in the crowd.
After walking out for a while, at a junction, I met two beggars, one of whom was older, and was admonishing the younger one, "How can you survive like this?" ”
The young cowardly, pointed to the ground, with a look of grievance, the food is rancid!
"Rancid!" The old man's voice became louder, "What's wrong with the rancid?" How can you eat the dead? It's all here, you still don't want to eat! Like you, you haven't starved to death, it's really God's eyes! ”
There was a bowl of overturned rice on the floor, and a swarm of flies was buzzing around.
The old man scolded and waved his hand to drive away the flies, put the bowl of rice back up, and pulled it into his mouth with his dirty fingers.
The young man looked at it, and suddenly ran a few steps to the side, holding on to the corner and retching.
The old man took a few bites and looked at him a few times with disdain, "Forget it, I don't want you to give me a pension for the end, you don't want to follow me from now on, can you really treat yourself as a young master?" ”
The young beggar wiped his eyes, gritted his teeth, turned around, pounced on him, snatched the rice from the old beggar's hand, and began to eat it with great gusto.
When he took the first bite, he couldn't hold back his retching, but he quickly swallowed the rest of the meal with tears in his eyes, and he didn't chew at all.
So at the end, burp hard.
The old beggar sighed and handed him a broken kettle, "Drink some water." ”
The young beggar wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, took a few sips of water, and shrank into the corner.
The old beggar said earnestly: "I know that you are bitter in your heart, but who has not survived the hard days?
"What is the hardest thing about this person? It's alive! As long as people live, what can't be done! Are you not afraid of death, but are you still afraid of living? ”
Hey?
Yuan Ning stopped, this old beggar is quite reasonable!
Looking at the young beggar again, although her eyes were red, her clothes were in tatters, and she was embarrassed, she could also see that her facial features were very good, and the temperament revealed between her eyebrows was also very good.
The young beggar was still a little embarrassed, and raised his hand to cover his face.
The old beggar was busy with Yuan Ning's side, trembling and stretching out a hand, "Poor and pitiful, if it weren't for the fact that life couldn't go on, who would beg for food?" ”
Yuan Ning took out a few pennies and put them in the old beggar's hand, "Uncle, you go buy a few steamed buns and come back." ”
The old beggar's eyes flashed, "Okay, good! He clutched the money and ran away.
Yuan Ning looked down at the young beggar curled up on the ground and asked, "What book do you read the most?" ”
The young beggar subconsciously drew a few words on the ground: "Zhongzheng Official Document Collection." "Zhongzheng Gong is Cui Jiuru, a great writer in this dynasty, and he was also an official in the court, and he was nicknamed "Zhongzheng". He is a good person, an honest official, and a model for scholars.
Yuan Ning knew from the words he wrote that this person had read a lot.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Are you mute?" Or a fugitive? ”
The young beggar immediately shook his head and wrote on the ground: "The throat is damaged, it is temporary. My life is bright! The corners of his eyes were flushed with grievances.
"And how did you end up on the streets?" Yuan Ning asked, "You are a person who has read books, and you can make a living by copying and writing for others." ”
The young beggar took his lap and did not answer.
In an instant, Yuan Ning thought a lot, such a person fell into Pingyang, if he helped him at this time, this person would return to the top in the future......
Well, this is called potential stocks, and strange goods can live.
Soon the old beggar came back with a few two-sided nests, and stood far away, not approaching.
Yuan Ning asked the young beggar: "I have a few Mengtong children in my family, and I want to invite you to come over to teach, I don't know if you are willing." ”
The young beggar was silent for a moment and wrote: "I have great trouble with me. ”
"I'll try to help you solve it," Yuan Ning nodded, if he wants to build a future network, how can he not pay any price? "As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke right and wrong."
The young beggar thought about it for a while, and then looked up at the old beggar who was probing his brain not far away, "Can you take him with you?" Without him, I would have died. ”
Yuan Ning thought for a while, "I don't raise idlers. ”
"He's got his craft!" The young beggar immediately wrote, "He was a carpenter when he was young, and he was tricked to drill the immortal jump, so that he could lose his family property, and he became ill again, and he was desperate to fall here." ”
Yuan Ning asked again: "No criminal record?" ”
"Just like me." The young beggar found out the household posts of the two of them, "This is proof." ”
Yuan Ning looked at it and nodded, "Okay, you put it away, you can go with me." ”
Aunt Zhang didn't expect that Yuan Ning would pick up two beggars when she went out on a trip!
But if you bring it all back, can you still get it out? Hurriedly boiled water for them to bathe, and went to take the lead in borrowing two sets of men's clothes.
When the two of them finished washing and came out, Yuan Ning saw that it had really changed a lot, the old beggar was actually not too old, he was in his forties, and he looked honest and honest.
The young beggar was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and there was still a childish look between his eyebrows, and he looked disobedient in his man's clothes.
However, now that her younger siblings are about to leave school, she didn't say anything.
Aunt Zhang knew that these two people were hungry, so she cooked a pot of noodles for them, and each of them ate a bowl, so she didn't eat it, "You rest first, eat slowly, and if you eat too much, something will happen." ”
