Chapter 41: The Bold Storyteller
After gnawing the sugar gourd, Ye Duhong walked in the deep alley, with a line of sky above his head, I don't know why, Ye Duhong always likes the sky, he sees anyone who says he likes the sky, maybe because he likes fantasy, only the sky can hold so much imagination. It was the first time he had seen the sky on the first line, and he walked with his head up, admiring the sky here.
Ye Duhong's right foot felt slimy, thinking that he had stepped on dog shit, and when he looked down, it turned out to be a sweet potato in a white bag, which was cold, and was stepped on by Ye Duhong, sticky and sticky to the ground. Ye Duhong found an old man kneeling next to the sweet potato, the old man was wrapped in a turban on his head, he looked vicissitudes, and Ye Duhong stepped on his dinner. Ye Duhong was very embarrassed, so he smiled at the old man and said he was sorry. Ye Duhong wanted to give the old man some money, but he was penniless. He couldn't just go, or he would break the old man's heart. Ye Duhong squatted down and talked to the old man. He asked the old man why he was kneeling here, and the old man said that he had three sons and two daughters, all of whom had grown up and lived a good life, and he abandoned the old man because he thought he was old, and the old man wanted to eat, and there was no way, so he knelt on the ground and begged. Ye Duhong showed that he was penniless, but he still had to pay for stepping on the sweet potato, Ye Duhong thought of a way, that is, he also knelt and asked for money, and when the money was enough, he would buy a sweet potato for the old man.
Ye Duhong found a clean place, knelt down like an old man, and asked for money from people passing by. It was already dark, and many people walked in front of Ye Duhong and didn't give Ye Duhong a penny. At this time, Ye Duhong can understand the difficulties of being a beggar, the world is rich, but this abundance has nothing to do with real beggars, people are happy, but this happiness has nothing to do with real beggars, everyone is laughing, but this laughter has nothing to do with real beggars, everyone is happy, but this happiness has nothing to do with real beggars. Ye Duhong began to look up at the world, looking up at everyone on the road, as if a thick wall had been built around Ye Duhong's body, the outside of the wall was warm, and the inside of the wall was so cold. Ye Duhong went to look at the old man not far away, and Ye Duhong knew that it was a real beggar. The old man's eyes were so blank, his hair was so messy, and his clothes were so tattered. Ye Duhong was immersed in the breath conveyed by the appearance of the old man, only to hear a soft sound, Ye Duhong came back to his senses, and a big bill appeared in front of him, this banknote is so new, Ye Duhong raised his head and saw a white and gentle face, this is a woman, the woman smiled, and conveyed warmth. Ye Duhong also smiled, and the woman turned away. Ye Duhong's heart is surging, such a woman is a rich woman, her appearance, her figure, her appearance, her temperament, her manners, are first-class, all seductive, all are moving, if you can be friends with such a woman, if you can hug her, what a happy thing, but after the woman turned around, she gradually disappeared at the end of the road.
Ye Duhong raised his head to look at the sky, the sky actually fell small droplets, oops, it was raining lightly, Ye Duhong quickly picked up the money, went to the side of the roasted sweet potato stall to buy three hot sweet potatoes, he carried the sweet potato, came to the old man, to give the sweet potato to the old man. But at this time, Ye Duhong found that the old man was nibbling on the sweet potato he had just stepped on. Ye Duhong's heart trembled, and he hurriedly stuffed the sweet potato into the old man's arms and said sorry.
It was late this day, and it was a light rain, and the old man wanted to go back at night, of course the old man was willing to go back to the old house to sleep, but it was raining on this day, which could make more tragic colors, and he still knelt here on a rainy day, and he would definitely win people's sympathy and get a big reward, but the old man did not expect that there were few people on rainy days, and even no one on the road, who would give him alms. Under the persuasion of Ye Duhong, the old man finally got up and walked towards the depths of the alley, step by step.
Night Duhong walked in the alley, heard the rain, sped up the pace, not far away from the hotel in the night Duhong's vision seems gentle, there are soft pillows, soft quilts, comfortable beds, night Duhong begged for a short while, he got a big money, not only can give back the old man sweet potatoes, you can use the rest of the money to live in the store, it's really beautiful.
When I came to the hotel, I asked the price of the room, and the front desk staff told me the type of room that there was a room that caused the idea of night Duhong, although this kind of room was similar to other rooms, it could have a permission, that is, the guests who lived in this room could listen to books for free. This aroused Ye Duhong's interest, when he was in Guyu Town, Ye Duhong had heard a homeless man tell a story, it was a long time ago, Ye Duhong really hadn't listened to a story for a long time, he decided to choose this room where he could listen to books for free. After paying, Ye Duhong went up the stairs.
When he arrived at the plain room, Ye Duhong went to take a hot shower, then came out in his pajamas and walked to the place where he was telling stories. Came to a door, the door was hidden, Ye Duhong pushed the door in, hey, there are really a lot of people listening to the book, three, three, two, two, two, a bunch here, a handful there, everyone listened attentively to the storyteller on the podium under the light.
Ye Duhong listened attentively, it turned out that this storyteller was telling a romance story, the story involved some influential figures, there were heroes of the Free Army, and heroes of the Red Army. Ye Duhong found a comfortable seat and listened attentively like everyone else.
This storyteller, when it comes to the free soldiers, there are many words of appreciation, when it comes to the red-clothed soldiers, there are many derogatory words, Ye Duhong listened carefully in the audience, the more he listened, the more wrong it became, when the storyteller said bad things about the red-clothed soldiers again, Ye Duhong felt like a needle was pricked. The storyteller also said that the red-clothed army provoked the war, and the people were not well-being, and many people became prostitutes because of the war, and many people became beggars because of the war. Then the storyteller said that he had once seen a beggar, and it was disgusting, and he was sitting in the square, surrounded by people's discarded garbage, and he was old, and his legs were age-spotted, and his knees were rotten, and his bones were broken, and there were maggots in his flesh and bones, and the storyteller made disgusting movements when he said that he was at the point.
Ye Duhong screamed, rushed to the stage, and asked the storyteller if he had ever spoken with his conscience. Ye Duhong just wants to talk to the storyteller about his conscience, obviously it was a battle formation provoked by the free army, and it was cruel to the people, how did he become a red-clothed army? There are also beggars, beggars are worthy of sympathy, not ridicule. For beggars, the public should remain sympathetic, and as beggars, they should maintain self-improvement. Ye Duhong used wonderful language to argue with the storyteller, so that the storyteller had to admit his mistake. The audience listened to Ye Duhong's words, and also thought that Ye Duhong was right, and they all applauded warmly in support of Ye Duhong.
