Chapter 47: The Trust Earned by Money
The female beggar looked down at the black bill in her hand, her dirty little hands clenched tighter and tighter, and the expression on her cheeks looked very surprised. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info She hurriedly returned the dark money in her hand to He Wei, and said to him very scared: "No, I can't accept this, it's too much, the donor should take it back." ”
He Wei's face became extremely surprised when he saw such an unexpected situation, he would never have imagined that a beggar on the street who had lost his soul would not be moved when he met money, but politely returned the money.
"Hey, you don't have to be too polite, I just asked you to spend this money to spend it, and if you can spend it, you can spend it, if you can't spend it, you're coming back to me, do you think it's okay?"
When the female beggar heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Where will I go to find the benefactor in that moment?" ”
"Don't be the old donor, don't you call the donor, okay? Sounds weird. He Wei smiled at her, then turned to look at the most conspicuous family member beside him, his expression changed, and asked, "Where is the address of the house?" Tell the girl to come over later. ”
The family pondered for a while, and then forced to reply in a low voice: "Shaoxia, this is absolutely impossible, it stands to reason that beggars cannot step into the mansion, otherwise it will break the feng shui in the house." ”
This sentence really made He Wei not know what to reply, because he was already a little resistant to the female beggar in front of him, although he looked very young, but his whole body was sloppy, and his body still exuded a stinky smell. He was silent for a while, and then slowly twisted his neck and said helplessly to the female beggar: "You take the money and go, don't come to me again from now on, I only have so much on me." ”
The female beggar looked a little lost on her face, her head lowered and her messy hair almost covered her face, and there seemed to be a little more self-deprecation on her blurred face. She didn't say a word, just slowly turned around and walked towards the mouth of the alley in front of her, she walked very slowly, slowly, like a snail curled up on the ground, and after a long time, she disappeared from everyone's eyes.
"Alright, she's gone, let's go too." He Wei stretched his waist, and he also looked depraved.
Several of the surrounding family members nodded one after another, stood up straight one by one, gathered in a row, their faces were very serious, and shouted in unison: "Please He Shaoxia on the road!! ”
He Wei was suddenly a little panicked, because he had never enjoyed such a good treatment, how to say this feeling, it was like being an emperor, there was a feeling of condescension and supremacy.
He Wei smiled stupidly, stretched out his hands and shook them, and said complacently: "Hehe! You don't have to be so enthusiastic, I'll go myself. ”
Out of the crowd came a man who appeared to be in his fifties with a black beard on his chin. He walked up to He Wei with a smile and said respectfully: "I have long admired the name of Shaoxia, and my surname is He, and I am a housekeeper in the house. ”
He Wei's face changed suddenly, he looked extremely shocked, and immediately replied in surprise: "Wait a minute...... I will recognize you by calling me a young man, but where did you hear my name? ”
After the man who claimed to be the housekeeper bowed to He Wei, he raised his head and smiled very politely: "Isn't the young man the warrior who stole the garden ink grapes three hundred years ago?" I have heard of such anecdotes for a long time, and when I see them today, it seems that the rumors are true. ”
At this time, He Wei finally remembered that not long after his death, he secretly ate the dwarf's grapes in the underworld, and he was not a ghost, but this matter was known to everyone, and He Wei couldn't believe it.
He Wei was stunned for a while, and then said to him with a smile: "Hey, I thought you were going to say something, it turned out to be this, isn't it just eating grapes, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning, haha!" ”
Steward He replied: "In that case, let's hurry up and get on the road, Lord Xiao is still waiting for us in the mansion, if we go late, I'm afraid we will be blamed again." ”
He Wei turned around and twisted his neck and said to him with a smile: "Okay, then let's hurry up, there are really many mosquitoes here, and I have been bitten all over my body after standing for a long time." ”
"Mosquitoes? Where are mosquitoes? When the weather is so cold and dripping into ice, how can there be mosquitoes active in the air? Hehe, Shaoxia is really humorous. Steward He smiled slightly and replied in a low voice.
He Wei subconsciously turned his head to look at the surrounding environment, long strips of ice were knotted on the eaves, and hard ice solidified on the ground, and he also felt that his body was cold. Indeed, as the housekeeper said, the glue is broken, and the cold is pressing.
But his body was very itchy, as if there were tens of thousands of mosquitoes biting his skin, as if he was reaching out to scratch it, but he didn't know where to start.
He Wei bit it and said to him painfully: "Okay, it may be that I am too careful, let's go." ”
The housekeeper smiled and nodded, took the lead in the front, and led the family behind him in the direction of the alley.
He Wei also followed, but he walked staggeringly, tossing and turning, and his every move was very ugly, like a clown.
They walked a long way, crossing road after road, until they came to a port, where several wooden boats were stopped, and in each boat sat a young and strong man, like a rower.
The water in the river was black, and I don't know how deep it was, but I could clearly feel that there were no fish swimming in the water. The whole river looks very wide, with a distance of 100 meters between the two banks, and the water is as calm as amber.
Steward He, who had walked to the front, suddenly stopped, looked back and smiled, looked at He Wei at the back, and shouted to him: "Young man, please get on the boat first, we will escort you in the back." ”
He Wei couldn't help but reach out and scratch his scalp, his nails were almost inserted into the skull cover, and he picked back and forth violently. Blood and some remnants of dead skin were scratched through the cracks of the nails.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Steward He had to turn around and ask again, this time the voice was louder than before, "Hey, Shaoxia, please get on the boat quickly, it's not early." ”
Seeing that He Wei was silent, the few family members behind him also turned around and locked their eyes on him.
He Wei bit his lip tightly, took a deep breath, his expression looked very painful, his body's movements were not natural at all, and he replied with difficulty: "Okay, I'll come now." ”
When he walked into the crowd, many people let go of a gap, and every pair of eyes around him seemed to cast an incredible look at him.
He Wei dragged his uncomfortable body, walked to the dock step by step, looked at the boat not far away, and said to the boatman: "Hey, uncle, quickly row the boat over." ”
The old man on the boat didn't pay attention to He Wei, and deliberately twisted his head to the side, turning his back to him, as if he looked a little disdainful.
He Wei was a little incomprehensible for a moment, and shouted at him curiously: "Uncle, can you hear me?" Hurry up and row the boat. ”
The old man still ignored He Wei's shouts, and directly lay down, leaned on the boat, and sang a little song in his mouth, completely treating He Wei on the dock as air.
Steward He, who was standing behind, suddenly walked up, his expression was very fierce, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the boatman and scolded: "You are so bold, do you know who we are?" Don't hurry up and row the boat to shore, or we'll be unkind to you. ”
The old man on the boat suddenly laughed, looked up to the sky and muttered indifferently: "Uncles, I'm really sorry, this ship has been chartered today, forgive me for not obeying my fate." ”
As soon as Steward He heard this, he immediately became angry, clenched his fists and said angrily to him: "I advise you to come over quickly, if you don't come, we will pass." ”
"Hahaha, who are you scaring about? Do you know who chartered this boat today? Say it to scare you, and when he comes, you all have to kneel and kowtow to him. The old man on the boat whistled happily as he spoke, not paying any attention to the words of the people on the shore.
Steward He glanced at him angrily, waved his hand, and shouted: "Okay, I see that you are really impatient today, brothers, give it to me, and peel off his skin for me." ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, He Wei immediately rushed up to stop the family who came up behind him, and said: "Don't be impulsive first, if you jump like this, you will become a soup chicken, go and pick up some more stones first, put them on the dock, and smash them for me piece by piece." ”
"Good! Good attention. Steward He agreed, and immediately turned back to the family behind him and ordered: "You all go to the shore to pick up stones for me, pick up more, the bigger the better, and pile them on the dock after picking them up." ”
The housekeepers nodded their heads one by one, and rushed to the bank of the river in one go, and each of them picked up a large stone of great hardness in his hand and ran to the edge of the wharf.
The old man on the boat suddenly jumped up, his face became very panicked, and he hurriedly reached out and picked up the oars, trying to row the boat to the other side of the river, away from this pier.
He Wei saw that he wanted to escape, and immediately turned back to everyone and said: "Hurry, it's too late, use all your strength, smash the broken boat hard, sink the boat for me, I want to see if his mouth is still hard." ”
When the family members heard this, they didn't make any moves, and they all stood in place expressionlessly, as if waiting for something.
Until Steward He on the side spoke, "Didn't you hear? The young man asked you to take the stone and smash it, the more ruthless the better. ”
At this time, all the family members hurriedly responded: "En, yes, yes, obey." ”
He Wei saw that the family members were throwing stones into the boat one by one, and he realized how low the status in his heart was, and what they had done before seemed to be a superficial job, in fact, they would not obey their orders at all.
And the old man on the boat was about to row the boat to the opposite shore, but unfortunately it was too late, and he was hit by countless stones, making a screaming sound, and suddenly his body lost his balance and fell into the water.
The boat was also smashed into several holes and slowly sank to the bottom.
The old man tried to swim ashore in the water, but he was hit on the head by a stone, which seemed to really hit him hard, and the whole person sank to the bottom of the water before he could scream.
He Weigang wanted to go up to stop them, but found that it was too late, so he hurriedly said: "Don't smash, don't smash, you're going to die." ”
"What if someone dies? People like this die early and are born early, see if he dares to look down on me in the future. Steward He stood aside and said this in a very heavy tone.
And the old man on the water couldn't see his head, and the whole person sank to the bottom of the water as if he had lost consciousness.
And the few housekeepers on the riverbank were still throwing stones at the water, and everyone was violent, as if they were going to kill the old man completely.
He Wei realized that he had made a very serious mistake before, because he couldn't guess that this group of family members was so cruel in their hearts, and they just wanted to play tricks on the old man on the ship, so they put forward this opinion, but he didn't expect this opinion to kill an innocent life.
He Wei couldn't help but yell at them again: "Okay, okay, stop it quickly, if this is really fatal, the ghost will not come to arrest us." ”
"What the hell? Haha, these are just a group of greedy villains, as long as you spend a little money you can buy them, and the ones who really have the life to survive are those of us who use power and power. Steward He laughed out loud again, and his words seemed very casual, it seemed that he was not afraid of causing any casualties at all, even if more innocent people died in front of his eyes, he would be indifferent.
He Wei found that stopping it had no effect at all, and he was also very nervous, because he had never killed anyone with his own hands at all, and even dead people were rarely seen, and once he saw such a situation, he would be a little unbearable.
The rows of housekeepers standing on the dock finally threw all the stones in their hands, and they were all so tired and out of breath that they had to stop. And the old man on the water has long disappeared from everyone's sight.
He Wei saw a human life, and wanted to jump in to save it, but he suddenly thought that he couldn't swim at all, and if he didn't jump down, he couldn't save the old man, and he would die in the water.
"Huh? What about the ship? Why is there no one, haven't you seen a lot of them before? ”
Behind everyone, a man's voice suddenly came, his voice was very delicate, and he was also speaking in a sven voice.
He Wei turned around and found that a beautiful man was followed by two strong men approaching the dock. And this beautiful man he had seen in the inn before, but when he saw him at this time, he suddenly felt a very bad premonition.
Steward He on the side also noticed the movement of the beautiful man, and suddenly walked up to him and scolded him angrily: "It's the boat you chartered, right?" You are really not small, you dare to buy our Xiao family's boat, you really don't want to live, do you? ”
The beautiful man ignored Steward He's words, but continued to lead the two strong men behind him to the dock, and muttered in a low voice: "Ah, why are there so many mosquitoes here, I hear mosquitoes everywhere." ”
When Steward He heard this, the flame in his heart burned even more, and three crow's feet wrinkled in his head, and he couldn't help but roar again: "What did you just say?" It's kind of saying again, you don't look at how many people I have with me, I dare to be so arrogant. ”
The beautiful man stopped, sighed lamentingly, and turned his back to Steward He and said, "Hey, why are there mosquitoes flying around in my ears, it's really uncomfortable, forget it, let's not take the boat, let's take the carriage." ”
Steward He looked very embarrassed on his face, and immediately waved his hand, signaling for all the families on the dock to come around. When the family members saw this, they formed a circle facing the beautiful man without saying a word, trapped him in the gap in the crowd, and did not let him move forward half a step.
When the two strong men behind the beautiful man encountered such a situation, they didn't move, they crossed their hands on their chests, and they didn't seem to be afraid of the group of family members in front of them at all.
And the beautiful man's expression was also very calm, and he didn't bother to look at them at all, he looked up at the sky and mocked: "Beasts, get out of the way of me, I don't want to slaughter small animals today, I've seen too much blood, and I'm almost scared to death." ”
Steward He suddenly walked in from the crowd and said triumphantly to the beautiful man: "Haha, you are still hard-mouthed when you are dying, and you don't look at what you are, you dare to pretend to be hunting with a dead mouse in your waist, it seems that you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin." ”
The beautiful man grinned and squinted his eyes and replied: "It's really unlucky today, I'm going to kill a few more small animals, but fortunately I have time, let's go after killing." ”
Steward He suddenly couldn't help but laugh again, took a step forward, and said with a mockery: "Your mouth is still quite hard, and I will see if your mouth is still hard when you see the coffin in a while." ”
Steward He glanced at the family beside him, hinting that they were ready to kill the beautiful man in front of him.
At this time, He Wei immediately rushed up from behind and persuaded the housekeeper: "Hey, you guys stop first, don't be impulsive, you can't make a fuss, otherwise it will really not end well." ”
Steward He squinted at He Wei, and replied angrily: "What do you care about?" Call you a young hero, do you really think you are a young hero? Get out of the way. ”
He Wei saw that the housekeeper suddenly seemed to be a different person, and his attitude was very different from before, and he immediately said angrily: "Okay, then you can fight, it doesn't matter if you kill the disabled." ”
The beautiful man looked at He Wei in front of him, and suddenly said with a smile: "Don't worry, little handsome guy, I won't kill you, I just want to kill this group of unpleasant beasts in front of me." ”
"Brothers, give it to me, and see if his mouth is still hard." Steward He suddenly roared loudly, only to see all the family members around him hugging towards the beautiful man, and his facial expression was extremely fierce.
The two strong men behind the beautiful man suddenly made a big move, only to see the strong man stretch out his hands, raise a family member with one hand, grab it in the air, throw it hard, and throw them all into the river.
The rest of the family members who had not yet rushed up, seeing that the situation had changed very obviously before the fight started, they all immediately took several steps back, and their bodies were trembling.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Steward He immediately retreated a long distance and said to the beautiful man: "Okay, you have a kind, that's the end of today, we will have a meeting later." ”
Steward He immediately beckoned the rest of the family to follow, and ran quickly towards the dock.
The beautiful man smiled and suddenly said loudly, "Hahaha...... Still want to run? Did you run? I'm going to get you all back one by one now. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, the two strong men behind him immediately followed closely and arrested the fleeing Steward He, and the rest of the family didn't pay attention to it, but just brought him back.
After Steward He was arrested, his expression suddenly changed greatly, his eyes couldn't stop falling, he knelt on the ground, and pleaded with the beautiful man: "Wait a minute, I am willing to use money to redeem my life, and I will give you as much money as you want." ”
The beautiful man laughed even more happily, his voice almost spread to the other side of the river, pointed at his nose and said, "You, why can't dogs change their?" It's arrogant and ignorant to have a bunch of junk in front of me. ”
Steward He immediately kowtowed to him three times in a row, his head was bleeding, and he kept pleading: "Yes, you are right, I am indeed arrogant and ignorant, I know that you like money, as long as I give you money, you can let me live, right?" ”
"Hee-hee! Yes, I like money very much, but do you have money? How much can you give me? Every word of the beautiful man seemed to be a code, but when the two strong men heard it, they immediately let go of their hands and threw Steward He to the ground.
Steward He got up from the ground in embarrassment, snot and tears kept flowing down wildly, and said: "I can give you a lot of money, Jinshan has it, Yinshan also has it, as long as you can let me go, I will immediately send someone to send the money over." ”
The beautiful man took out a small mouse from his waist and said, "Hee-hee! I don't want your money, as long as you eat this rat, I'll let you go, how about it? ”
This mouse was covered with long black hair, and its mouth showed two long fangs, it was very large, it looked like it weighed several pounds, and it had a long tail, which was terrifying.
Steward He became more and more nervous, and lowered his head and said: "I am willing to spend money to buy this mouse, I will not refuse as much as you want, as long as you can say it, I can take it." ”
The beautiful man was silent for a while, and seemed to be a little moved by these words, and after a few seconds, he said to him again: "Okay, you can now send someone to bring five carts of gold, two boxes of agate, three boxes of amber, I will spare you a way out, what do you think of this deal?" ”
"Good! The deal was made, and I immediately sent a message to Fei Ge and sent someone to deliver it here. Steward He took out a white pigeon from his waist, took out a piece of white paper with his other hand, and at the same time bit his finger, wrote a blood book, tied it to the paws of the carrier pigeon, and released it into the sky.
