Chapter 8: The Life of a Penny

Chen Pi gave Chun Shen a bowl of spicy stew, and Chun Shen took a bite hungry and spit it out.

Chen Pi looked a little disgusted, Chun Shen looked at Chen Pi's eyes in fear, obviously afraid that Chen Pi would hit him again, Chen Pi ignored him and continued to count the copper coins on the table. Chunshen breathed a sigh of relief and finally began to eat again.

The blood on his head had dried up, and had become a scab behind his head and ears. Chen Pi felt that this child was the same as himself, with a thick braincase, so the place inside was small, and the brain was stupid.

The copper coins were stacked in groups of ten, stacked one by one, and the tangerine peel had been counted several times. He scratched his head, he couldn't count less than 100 wen. And he was so nervous that the number of copper coins he counted was different each time, 98 at one time, 97 at the other. How many are missing? He didn't have a bottom in his heart.

The no-donation flag with the head of the cannon tied to the fish-drying rope was placed on the table, and the copper coins were pressed on it, and the no-donation flag was embroidered with a yellow sunflower pattern. Chen Pi was annoyed, so he temporarily gave up counting the copper coins, pulled it up and looked at the flag carefully.

Huang Kui is the symbol of the Huang Kui Gang, and he naturally knows who Chun Shen wants to kill. But to find out who this waiver flag is, I am afraid it will take some painstaking work.

But Chen Pi doesn't matter, after waiting for so long, there is finally a customer who wants to come to the door, and what Xi Qi said is really spectrum. This made his whole body excited. He couldn't remember what Xi Qi was talking to him about, and he even felt that Xi Qi was talking about a prophecy, and now this prophecy was about to come true.

Chen Pi put down the flag of exemption, and once again put the copper coins in a pile one by one, this time he counted clearly, exactly ninety-nine, he sighed, thinking that there is not much less but it can't be compromised, Xiqi said 100 Wen, you have to 100 Wen, otherwise what if it doesn't work?

So he looked up and said to Chunshen: "One person kills a hundred Wen." One less, not enough money. ”

Chun Shen has eaten all the spicy seeds all night, and even licked the bowl. Obviously not full yet, looking at the bowl in front of Chen Pi.

Chen Pi pushed the bowl over, but Chun Shen didn't dare to take it, and it wasn't until Chen Pi pushed the bowl in front of him that he began to eat again.

"One less, not enough money." Chen Pi reminded Chunshen again, Chunshen looked at the money, his mouth was full of things, he choked at once, he couldn't eat, and he couldn't speak, but the chopsticks in his hand didn't stop at all, and he kept stuffing them into his mouth.

Chen Pi went up and pinched Chunshen's bowl and pulled it back, wanting him not to eat it, but Chunshen hugged the bowl at once. Look up at him. Chen Pi raised his hand and was about to fight, but Chun Shen put the bowl down.

Chen Pi looked at Chun Shen, Chun Shen looked at Chen Pi, Chun Shen's cheeks were still chewing, and the boiled juice kept dripping from the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't stop it at all.

"A penny less! ******! Chen Pia slammed the table, and everyone around looked at them in shock. Originally, they were whispering, why would someone like Chen Pi take Chunshen to eat.

Although this year is chaotic, but it is not enough to fight the idea of Chunshen, first, I feel that everyone has been killed, and the property on the ship must have been looted, and secondly, one more ship can not bring more money, this year is still the value of labor, along the coast of the East Lake, many ownerless old ships, are stranded on the beach rotten, the Yangtze River is full of mud and sand, can get a life on the shore, all go ashore, in the water as soon as the winter days are difficult, more than a boat can not solve the problem.

Chun Shen didn't have any reaction at all, this jar of copper coins was saved by his mother burning mussel shells, he naturally didn't know how much money was in it, and he didn't count it. He just looked at Chen Pi, his eyes full of horror.

Chen Pi suddenly realized that he was not talking to a matching opponent, and he looked at the money on the table and wrapped it in a no-donation flag. Grabbed Chunshen's hand and walked to the embankment. Coming to Chunshen's boat in the dark, Chen Pi said to Chunshen: "Now I'll go up and look for it, as long as I have a penny, I will promise you to kill this person." Got it? ”

Chun Shen nodded, and his eyes suddenly widened when he heard the word kill.

Chen Pi ignored him completely, he climbed up on his own and began to rummage.

Chun Shen didn't get on the boat, he shrank by the edge of the tree on the shore, hiding in the shadows and watching silently, Chen Pi rummaging around. The bloody smell on the ship was still very heavy, and he became more and more irritable when he smelled it. But if you turn it to the east and turn it to the west, there is not a single copper coin.

Chen Pi irritably threw all the broken copper and iron back into the lake, and said to himself: "There is one more, just one more." "He's so anxious, he has to listen to the first one as soon as possible, folded on a copper plate, it's a loss.

This rummaging and tossing all the way, until midnight, the bottom of the boat was about to be turned over, and Chen Pi realized that there was really no copper plate on the Chunshen family's boat. Fate played a sarcastic joke and told him that what Hee Seven said might be right, but you'll always be a little bit off.

Chen Pi went from calm to rage, and then from rage to expressionlessness, when he got off the boat, he was completely disheartened, he held the wind lantern in front of Chunshen, and threw the exemption flag and the copper coins in it in front of Chunshen. Then he turned and walked away.

Chun Shen was stunned for a moment, immediately got up and chased after him, ran to him with difficulty, and gave him the money.

Chen Pi pushed him away: "One hundred Wen kills one person, and there is one less." He continued on his way.

Chunshen chased after him again, ran to him, and held the money to him, apparently Chunshen didn't know what was going on, and his face showed horror.

Chen Pi pushed him away again, and at this time he had already shown his greatest patience, and he said again: "One hundred Wen kills one person, and there is one less." ”

Chunshen still raised his hand, Chen Pi was indifferent in his heart, and continued to walk forward, and Chunshen kept following and kept raising his hand. Chen Pi stopped and looked at Chunshen coldly, he kicked Chunshen's calf joint, and Chunshen fell to the ground.

Chen Pi continued to move forward, Chun Shen got up, and suddenly he found that he couldn't stand up, his legs had no strength at all, he dragged his legs to catch up with Chen Pi, and Chen Pi soon walked farther and farther, slowly disappearing into the darkness. Chun Shen held the money and watched Chen Pi leave, and a desperate expression finally began to appear on his dull face. Tears welled up in his eyes.

Crying, I don't know how long I cried in the middle of the embankment, suddenly, the light of a horse lantern came over, Chun Shen stopped crying, he saw Chen Pi come back again, and took the copper coin in his hand.

"I thought of a way, tomorrow you go and ask for food, give me a penny." Chen Pi said coldly.

Chunshen nodded desperately and wiped his nose.
