Chapter 172: Saving People

There is an old man with a white beard and a robe in the teahouse telling the story of the market, and all the tea customers are fascinated by it, together with the little man with a white cloth towel on his shoulder, his mouth is slightly open, worried about the characters in the story, Ruixue and a few people went in, he didn't find it, Caiyun stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, he woke up, quickly turned around and looked at the old shopkeeper in the counter, bowed his head and was busy, he didn't notice, so he let go, bowed his waist slightly, trotted to Ruixue and a few people with a smile, and said, "This lady, Childe, but do you want to drink tea and sharpen yourself? ”

Wu Yu nodded and said, "But there is a cool and clean place, find one for us." ”

The little two are a little embarrassed, today's teahouse business is exceptionally good, the upstairs private rooms are full, it is really difficult to arrange for a while, so he laughed and said, "This son, I'm really sorry, the upstairs private room is full, it's better to arrange a window location for you, you can also see the street scene, and you can also listen to the story, today we are invited in the building to open your mouth quickly, and the joke is excellent." ”

Wu Yu frowned, he didn't want his sister to sit in a crowded place, for fear that someone would collide, but Ruixue didn't care, when she came out to shop, she naturally wanted to be in a lively place, if she sat in a box, she couldn't see anything, she couldn't hear it, it was better to be at home.

"Okay, just the window. Pick a pot of light tea and serve two plates of good dim sum. ”

Xiao Er hurriedly responded, led the way first, wiped the tables and chairs with a white cloth towel, and then politely invited Rui Xue and a few people to sit down, Yun Xiaoliu grew up in the village, and there was not much concept of respect and inferiority, so he put down his things and sat down, but Caiyun Caiyue refused, which made Yun Xiaoliu also blush, and hurriedly stood up again, Rui Xue was helpless, and said a few words, and they sat down again.

After a while, the snacks and tea came up, everyone was eating and drinking, and a few small ones were really attracted by the storyteller's jokes, and they listened attentively, and exclaimed and gasped twice from time to time. Ruixue was used to hearing Guo Degang and Shan Tianfang in her previous life, and these jokes were somewhat unpleasant, so she turned her face out of the window and looked at the street scene carefully.

Although this time and space is said to be more delicate than the ancients in the previous life, but the building is unique, the merchants on both sides of the bluestone street are all carved beams and paintings, or vermilion or brown doors and windows, carved with complex patterns, the plaques on the lintel are of different sizes, the materials are different, the handwriting is also distinctive, looking mottled, there is some strange beauty, with the doors and windows, the walking crowd, the shouting vendors, the ancient charm is very strong, if you go back a few years, someone told her that she will be reborn in an antique time and space, Making tofu to make a fortune, getting married and having children, she must say that the person is mentally ill, but now she is really here, drinking tea, eating snacks, enjoying the street scene, I have to say, fate is really a magical thing...

A table of people, listening to jokes and listening to jokes, in a daze, was having their own fun, and suddenly heard the noise in front of the restaurant opposite.

Rui Xue sat by the window, naturally the first to see clearly, it was two young people in Tsing Yi, even kicked and beaten, and kicked an old man in rags out of the restaurant, the little two scolded and scolded in their mouths, and kicked their feet hard from time to time, the old man shouted while stuffing chicken legs into his mouth, which was really funny and angry.

Everyone in the teahouse also heard the movement at this time, gathered to the door and window to watch the excitement, Yun Xiaoliu was clever and immediately protected the proprietress by his side, and Caiyun Caiyun also surrounded him, and some tea guests were surprised to see Wu Yu's good looks, and it was inevitable to look at them twice, but in the end they were attracted by the excitement and turned their heads again.

There was a person not far from Ruixue, so he said, "This golden building is really getting more and more arrogant, it only receives dignitaries and nobles on weekdays, and it is just disdain for ordinary people, but today even the old people are beaten." ”

The other person hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said, "Be quiet, people have backers in the martial arts, don't be guilty, there will be disaster then." ”

The person who spoke earlier sighed, obviously extremely unconvinced, but he still kept his mouth shut.

Rui Xue glanced back and saw that they were two middle-aged people, both of whom had a bookish temperament, and they were also somewhat knowledgeable, so she nodded slightly. The two were stunned for a moment, and then bowed their heads and saluted back.

Rui Xue turned her head again, the two little two were still beating the old man, and the chicken leg that the old man was still holding in his hand before didn't know where to go, so he just cared about holding his head and rolling all over the ground, which was really pitiful. The surrounding crowd whispered and pointed, but no one stepped forward to stop it, Rui Xue saw that the old man was getting weaker and weaker, and she couldn't bear it, she frowned and thought for a moment, but still said, "Go over and have a look." ”

Wu Yu had the heart to stop it, but when he saw that his sister's face was not good, he endured it, separated the crowd with Yun Xiaoliu and the others, escorted Ruixue out of the teahouse, and arrived in front of the restaurant.

The two little two saw that someone stepped forward, squinted their eyes and swept twice, seeing that although Rui Xue was wearing a brocade dress, there were not many ornaments on her head, and most of them were silver hairpins and silver earrings.

Rui Xue raised her eyebrows and said, "Two little brothers, what mistake did this old man make, in broad daylight, you want to beat him so violently?" ”

The older one pouted, "It's still light to beat him, this old guy ran to our back kitchen to steal chicken legs, caught him and didn't give him silver, when is our golden building, the temple or the relief department?" ”

"The old man goes to steal food, he must be hungry, or greedy, and he has a heart to understand, since he has no money, he can brush the dishes and sweep the floor, work to compensate, how can he not be beaten on the street, you know, even if he kills people and sets fires, there are also cases decided by the government, and your restaurant has no right to lynch."

Another younger junior, when he heard this, immediately jumped up and scolded, "Which family are you a woman from, you have eaten too much, you can hold on, and we dare to take care of the affairs of our Golden Building, and you don't inquire..."

He gestured with his hands and feet, how far his saliva squirted, Rui Xue took a step back in disgust, and interrupted him in a loud voice, "Don't talk nonsense, how much is the chicken leg, I'll pay the silver for him." ”

The young junior was stunned for a moment, and the slightly older one looked around at the people who were a little indignant, and his heart was also a little weak, but he didn't want to look weak, so he said, "Yo, this lady is a rich and kind-hearted person, this old man is in charge of everything, that's good, Mrs. said this, we shouldn't do it well, as if our Golden Building is unreasonable, this chicken leg, ten taels of silver!" Madame pay. ”

Ten taels of silver! Everyone around took a breath, and secretly scolded this golden building in their hearts for being too deceitful, shouting to be reasonable, but they shouted the chicken leg with two dollars of silver at a sky-high price, which was too immoral. Looking at it again, the clothes and accessories are all ordinary Rui Xue, and they are worried that they will not be able to take it out, it will be too embarrassing.

The two middle-aged people who nodded with Ruixue before, when they saw Ruixue and a woman, they all dared to be afraid of the powerful and stand up for the old man, and they all felt a fever on their faces, and they wanted to pay for Ruixue's silver, but the cyst was shy, and they turned their heads to look around, thinking that there were friends in the field and borrowed a few taels for emergency.

Who would have thought that Rui Xue was not poor, she was a pregnant woman, Zhao Fengnian was afraid that she would encounter something she liked to eat, and she would have no money to pay, so before going out, she was stuffed with copper coins and broken silver in her purse, which was not counting the fifty taels on Wu Yu's body.

Rui Xue reached out and took out ten taels of silver in her purse, "snapped", threw it on the ground, and said, "This is silver money, put it away, in front of everyone, don't say that I didn't give the silver later!" After speaking, he motioned to Wu Yu and Yun Xiaoliu to step forward and help the old man who didn't know if he was unconscious or out of strength to go back to the restaurant.

The two Tsing Yi juniors glanced at each other, and said in their hearts, could it be that they are out of sight, this woman's family is a rich and noble family, the two of them thought like this, and they didn't dare to entangle anymore, so they picked up the silver and went back to the restaurant, which made passers-by laugh twice with great relief, and then went their separate ways.

By the window on the second floor of the restaurant, a man about thirty years old, staring at Ruixue's back, with a puzzled face, as if he was a little excited, and finally returned to disappointment.

In the teahouse, the old man was helped to sit on the seat, Xiao Er trotted and sent a wet cloth, Yun Xiaoliu fed the old man a cup of tea, wiped his face for him, and the old man woke up, with a wrinkled face and a pair of cloudy old eyes, he looked around, but unexpectedly scolded, "What do you care, what are you doing to save me!" ”

Originally, they were all sitting in their own places looking at the people here, and their faces changed when they heard what he said, especially the two middle-aged people, who immediately said, "You old man, you don't know how to be polite, this lady, I paid ten taels of silver for you to rescue you from the feet of others, you don't thank you, why are you still so resentful?" ”

Another person also said, "Exactly, ten taels of silver, are enough for the expenses of ordinary farmers for a year, this lady is a bodhisattva, you can't be bad." ”

The old man listened blankly for a while, cried loudly, and muttered something in his mouth, everyone listened carefully for a long time, and then realized that the old man had no children and no daughters, and he was old and helpless, so he wanted to steal a chicken leg, and he was full of happiness but was dead, and now he was saved by Rui Xue and his party, thinking that he still didn't eat or live in the future, so he said this evil word.

The crowd in the lobby was so lively that they had just denounced it, and when they heard this, they all turned their heads one after another, eating, drinking, and talking, as if they hadn't heard it. Rui Xue saved people, they helped with two words, nothing to do, this is similar to picking up merit, everyone is willing to do it, but if they want to pay money, or leave an old man at home, they won't do it.

The two middle-aged people's faces were also a little bad, one of them frowned for a long time, gritted his teeth, and said, "I'm alone, although I also rely on the support of friends, but if the old man doesn't dislike it, let me be a companion, there is a place for me to eat and live, and naturally there is yours." ”

His friend seemed to be a little hesitant, but he didn't refute in the end, Rui Xue saw that the middle-aged man's face was embarrassed, and guessed that he must really be under the fence, remembering that Zhao Fengnian was busy with this workshop business in the morning and had to teach in the afternoon, it was really hard, so he suddenly had an idea.
