Volume 1 Juvenile Walk Chapter 3 The Old Man in the Pharmacy

The three beggars finally entered the town.

Usually the snow was falling, and there were few pedestrians in the town, except for some hard-working people, who did some manual work, and had to go to the streets to find a livelihood, to find some shop helpers, and small traders and hawkers had to come out to sell unless the weather was terrible, wrapped in coarse cloth, with felt hats, squatting, leaving early and returning late.

Today, the weather is improving, and the traders and workers are all in a hurry to make a living and make a small fortune.

People came and went in the streets, and the town finally came alive in the bleak winter.

"Boss, let's sell that first?" The three beggars squatted at the foot of the wall at the entrance of the town, and the third looked at the hot buns diagonally opposite and swallowed his saliva.

"In our small town, there is a pawnshop, the big family does not know the pawnshop, so they go to the pawnshop to sell this jade, this child and so on, let's go to the Juxian Building, which used to beg and see, the boss heard that he is a few years older than us, and he has no grandchildren, so he will go where to try his luck. The boss drooped his eyes, stretched out his dry hand and took the jade pendant out of the baby's swaddling clothes, and pulled a little golden silk cloth from the swaddling clothes, wrapped the jade pendant in one layer on the left and one layer in the right, and carried it in his arms.

"Well, let's go. ”

The three old beggars walked together to the middle of the town, and the third passed by the bun shop he had just seen, and he couldn't walk stupidly. Usually the weather is cold, and the owners of the steamed bun shop make steamed buns in the shop.

Today, the weather is better, and the boss happily moved out the guy style early and placed it at the door, and the cages of one drawer after another fell high, and the heat was rushing up.

Occasionally opened, revealing the bun inside, shiny and shiny, neat in size, white and soft, looks like a budding autumn chrysanthemum in the mist, refreshing and comfortable, I heard that this bun shop, opened for many years, the boss made the bun in his hand, if you take a bite, it is oily and watery, fragrant but not greasy.

But the old man only heard that when he had the life to eat this delicacy, he was thankful for a little bit of rancid leftovers.

When the eldest and second saw that he was not leaving, he turned his head and saw that his saliva was also flowing, and the three of them stood in front of the cage drawer for a long time.

"Hey, what are you doing, do you want to rob or steal, hurry up, let's go. "The boss who was smiling was busy handing buns to the guests, the hands of the copper coins were itchy, and he was busy sweating in the winter, and he couldn't wait to grow a few more hands.

At this time, I saw three black, skinny, ragged, unkempt beggars, staring at their white buns, and suddenly pulled their faces down, one hand to protect their buns, and the other hand was like a fly, looking at the three of them angrily.

"Bah! The dog looks down on people, and when I come again, I will let you beg Grandpa to eat, and when Grandpa wants to eat as much as he wants, he will put you on the shop and take you down!"

If he dared to talk like this before, no matter who he was, he was afraid of anyone, but now that he has a jade pendant and a baby, he is about to exchange for some wealth, and his confidence will come up inexplicably, regardless of whether the other party is a boss or a buddy, it is correct.

"Oh, the old immortal, don't look at yourself a few pounds and taels, wash your face and then talk about this. The proprietors looked at each other, shook their little heads, raised their heads, smiled contemptuously, did not take the old beggar's nonsense to heart, and hurriedly beckoned the guests to go.

"Let's go, boss, hurry up and get these shots!" The old man knew that he didn't pay attention to it now, so he quickly pushed the two people next to him and continued to walk towards the town.

The three of them limped, swayed left and panicked, and finally walked to the door of a shop.

The shop is not big, the square faΓ§ade, two bluestone steps, the doors and windows are simple and elegant, the left side of the door reads: "Na Baichuan Rong Four Seas Sincerely win the world" on the right side reads: "Ten urgent rooms to help the eight directions letter heavy Kyushu"

The word pawnshop is written on the top.

The third grinned, and hurriedly pushed the other two away, "Hey, hey, steady point." The boss earned it and looked at the third child angrily.

"It's just, don't get kicked out. The second child rubbed his dirty hands and wiped his body.

The three of them lifted their feet into the pawnshop, and after entering, the pawnshop was a small corridor, and there was a small wooden window next to it, through the small window, it was very quiet inside, and there were countless antiques on the large and small cabinets. A feast for the eyes.

"You three beggars dare to come in, and today I will break your three old bones when I see grandpa. The three of them hurriedly saw a sturdy man coming down from the upper floor, and in a fit of rage, he came down with a stick.

"Hey, little boss, little boss, today we three old bones are not here to make trouble, there are treasures, treasures. The boss hurriedly took out the jade pendant in his arms, stretched out his hand and swung it towards the guy.

"yes, yes, little boss. The other two beggars also nodded hurriedly, and the three of them grinned three times with yellow teeth and laughed.

"Baby, what treasure can you three beggars have, rubbing the mud on your body and wrapping a rag to deceive grandpa?" The guy saw that the three of them really had something, and after many years of experience in pawnshop work, he saw that the cloth was very expensive, but he still didn't believe it.

"Little boss, look. The three of them hurriedly greeted him, and the boss looked at the door with a mouse's eyebrows, but there was no one, so he stretched out his hand in front of the man's eyes and slowly untied the golden rags.

The warm white jade slowly appeared in front of the three of them, lying quietly in the hands of the old beggar, the bright luster and the dirty hands of the old beggar had a clear contrast.

The guy looked at it fixedly, and was immediately stunned, stunned by Meiyu, "Hey, hey, hey, little boss, what do you think?" The boss looked flattering, and the second and third were also looking forward to it. Grinning and smiling.

"This... This, this... Is this to be sold or to be sold?" the man hurriedly took the jade in his hand, held it high in the sun, looked at it, and touched it.

"Hey, hey, of course, the little old man sold it for some money and lived a good life. ”

"You two wait inside, I'll go and get my shopkeeper down." The two little eyes rolled around, took the jade pendant and cloth in their hands, and ran upstairs without looking back.

The three beggars happily sat on the chairs in the house, and the third child happily held the baby and touched it, "Hey, hey, my little rich man." ”

After a while, a middle-aged man in a quaint dress walked down. Don't look at the three beggars, the young man followed him respectfully, the middle-aged man walked straight to the chair in front of the three of them with his hands behind his back and sat down, the man hurriedly arrived at a bowl of tea, the middle-aged man picked up the teacup and blew it gently in his hand, "Two hundred taels." The pawnshop owner didn't raise his head and quoted the price.

"This 。。。。。 Boss, look, this jade is extraordinary, when the little old man just got it, he was still hot, but it is not an ordinary thing, see if you can add more. Hearing this, the boss hurriedly arched his hand and smiled with a smile on his face.

"Yes, yes, yes, the three of us relied on him to survive the night. The second and third hurriedly agreed.

"Are you begging stupid? What kind of fever are you, and you want to gang us up when you mess around? If it weren't for the fact that this jade really has a certain grade, it would have beaten you out with a stick a long time ago. The guy next to the boss pointed to the three of them.

The pawnshop owner waved his hand at the guy and took a sip of tea, raised his head and looked at the three of them, "I, Lin Jiu, have been pawning for so many years, and I have seen a lot of good things, this jade is indeed not bad." β€œ

"Yes, yes, yes. Hearing this, the three beggars hurriedly nodded yes.

"But that's definitely not something you can have, maybe it has something to do with that kid. The pawnshop owner had long seen that the material of the wrapped jade was exactly the same as that of the child in the beggar's arms.

Hearing this, the third child hurriedly shrank back.

"My Lin Jiu's pawnshop, I don't ask where I come from, I don't care how this jade got into your hands, but there are some things to take risks。。。。。。 Do you think I should press this price? The pawnshop owner paused and looked at the three of them. The wrapped cloth is extraordinary, and the jade is even more extraordinary, not to mention the child. Who knows who will find this jade.

"Okay, good, the boss said very much, two hundred taels is two hundred taels. When the boss heard this, he didn't dare to ask for the price anymore, so he hurriedly compromised, and the second and third children also hurriedly nodded yes.

The three of them came out of the pawnshop, the third child was still holding the child, the eldest and the second were bulging in their arms, and the three of them went around in a circle, "Let's go to Juxian Pavilion now." The third child looked around, and no one followed, so he was relieved.

"Yes, it's a good time to sell it early. The eldest said and walked towards the Juxian Pavilion with the second and third children.

The three of them were walking, passing by a large mansion, and a servant slowly opened the quaint big red door, and two people came out, an old man and a woman.

"Thank you, Doctor Ning, the old body has finally gotten better in the past few days. The old woman grew older, but her face was ruddy, and she smiled happily, and thanked the old man in front of her with indescribable gratitude.

The old man was dressed in coarse clothes, but he was clean and clean, with a unique style, his black hair was neatly combed with some silver threads, with a crown on his head, a long beard, and a kind face, quite a fairy style.

"Hey, boss, this Wang family, not only rich and talented, but also help refugees on weekdays, spread kindness, much better than the boss of the Juxian Pavilion, this child and they will have a future interest, why don't you sell it to this old woman Wang?" The second looked at the two people in front of the door.

"Okay, let's go, let's take a look. The eldest and third thought for a while and nodded.

"Oh, old lady, old lady. Okay, okay, okay. ”

When the two people at the door heard this, the boss took the other two and ran over tremblingly.

The old woman thought that the three of them were looking for some livelihood while the weather was good, and she was not disgusted because she was sick and in a good mood, so she turned her head and ordered the men behind her to give them a few copper coins and eat to their heart's content.

"The old lady is not here to beg, but to ask for a way for this child to live. Seeing this, the eldest hurriedly explained his intentions, pointing to the sleeping baby in the arms of the third child.

"Ah, oops, where did this kid come from. Seeing this, the old lady hurried down the steps to fetch the baby.

"Old lady, our three little old people in the mountain temple shelter, who expected to meet a child, surrounded by blood, his family is afraid of misfortune, can only leave to hide the child where ah, the three of us are unable to raise, here to find a way for the child to live, I hope the old lady will do a good deed. The old beggar trembled, and Gu Sheng burst into tears.

"Ouch, this miserable child. When the old lady heard this, she looked distressed, and gently held the baby and coaxed her around.

The old man next to him looked at the child and sighed softly, and then looked at it carefully, and the old lady also saw this and asked; Divine doctor, is there anything wrong with this child?"

"There is no problem, it is very healthy, even the old man, I have run a medical clinic for several years, and I have no children under my knees, it is better to teach this child to me to raise, and inherit my mantle in the future." The old doctor looked at the boy and then at the old lady and said.

In this case, this child is also considered to be blessed and listened to the divine doctor, and the child is raised by the divine doctor. The old lady was also very pleased, this old man was the only pharmacist in the town, and he had excellent medical skills, and it was also a good choice for this baby to follow the old pharmacist.

When the three beggars heard this, they didn't care who the child belonged to in the end, they were afraid that the old pharmacist would not be able to pay the child's money.

"Old lady, do you think that since this child has a belonging, should we also 。。。。。 The old beggar hurriedly laughed, and did not dare to say the rest of the words.

"Hmph, it seems that you want to sell this child, or not, it is good karma for you to save this child, and give you some money to live, so let's stop it. The old man glanced at the old beggar, how could he not know what the beggar was thinking, and then ordered his subordinates to prepare some silver for the three beggars.

When the beggar heard that it was the old lady who paid for it, she was happy to bloom, not to mention how much, at least the silver was settled.

"Thank you, madam, and I will definitely deliver the money to the woman's house on the next day. "The old pharmacist came out to see a doctor, and he didn't bring any silver taels, and at this time, the old lady helped to pay in advance, and hurriedly thanked him.

"Hey, what's the doctor's word. Then the servant came out and handed the beggar a small baggage.

The three beggars weighed and weighed, and the weight was very heavy! The three yellow teeth were exposed, and they couldn't close together, so they hurriedly thanked them again and again.

"Let's go, let's eat steamed buns!" The three of them left the Wang family's mansion, arrogant, and swaggered towards the steamed bun shop just now.

The old pharmacist slowly walked back to the pharmacy with the baby in his arms, smiling mysteriously along the way.

At this time, the seemingly lively and peaceful town of White Horse has changed.
