Chapter 417: Met a noble son
Chen Lotian stood by and watched the shopkeeper do business for an hour, cutting fifty roast ducks.
Then the shopkeeper finally got free, drank saliva, and as soon as he looked up and saw Chen Letian, he immediately put down the teacup: "How much does the guest officer want?"
Chen Letian was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Bring me half one." ”
It only took a dozen breaths for the skillful shopkeeper to get it done, put it in a bag and handed it to Chen Letian.
Chen Letian took it and sniffed it, and couldn't help but say, "It's really fragrant." ”
Then he held half a roast duck and walked towards the beggar's village while eating.
In the information he handed over from the Cao Gang, he found a detail, the county lord has been coming to the beggar village almost every half a month for a while, staying here for about an hour, and then leaving.
Ordinary people rarely go to the beggar's village, so every time the county lord goes, he is actually dressed up in disguise, and he does not go as a county honor.
However, each time there was no other action except for giving some silver taels to some passing beggars, and some food and drink for the two beggars.
But it may not be. On the information handed over, the Cao Gang said very clearly. Because there are few people in the beggar village, the Cao Gang can't find out too clearly. After all, as soon as you enter the beggar village, you basically have an unobstructed view, you can't hide in the crowd like in the city, and the people in the beggar village can't hide, except for the beggars.
Just like in the downtown area, among all the rich and noble, beggars cannot be hidden.
Whoever catches the eye can't hide it.
When he arrived at the beggar village, Chen Letian deeply understood what it meant in the information that the beggar village was too difficult to enter.
As soon as he entered the village, more than a dozen beggars immediately came up, and the smell could directly stun those who were not high in cultivation to the ground, and they might be dizzy for three days and three nights, and those with weak physique might go to see the king of Hades.
And then those beggars don't care about the three-seven-twenty-one coming up to pull you, and those black-brown hands that may not be washed once a year are groping around on you...
Of course, Chen Letian is not the one who is treated like this. For when he entered the village, there happened to be a richly dressed man in front of him. This richly dressed man wears a Confucian hat on his head, a white robe, and boots
It is inlaid with jasper. Just by looking at it from behind, you can know how meticulous this person is, and you can also know that the sum of his clothes is definitely more than five hundred taels.
This must be a child of a wealthy family, not only because of clothing, but also because of temperament.
Such a person, walking in front of Chen Letian, became the object of the beggars' hands. But what made Chen Letian feel very strange was that this noble son didn't seem to care about his clothes being soiled by the beggars, but stopped very naturally, and then took out the broken silver from his arms and distributed it.
A few dozen taels of silver were not a lot, but they were quickly distributed. The beggars put the silver in their bosoms, but did not leave, and continued to pull the noble man.
Chen Letian heard them shouting what a son...
Chen Le really wanted to kick the beggars one by one and kick them away, and the noble son's white robe had been dyed with countless dirty handprints. Chen Letian looked distressed, but these beggars were not conscious at all.
"There really isn't any. The noble prince opened his hands and said.
The beggars looked at each other, as if trying to decide from each other's eyes whether to continue begging or disperse.
Then they saw Chen Letian who was more than twenty steps behind, and then they let go of the noble son. Then he shifted the target and walked towards Chen Letian step by step.
Chen Letian is like a great enemy, his back is sweating, his palms are cold, there are so many powerful enemies, what should I do...
The noble prince felt a little strange, so he looked back. Seeing Chen Letian, the noble prince frowned slightly and said, "Disperse, don't make trouble." ”
The beggars suddenly stopped their movements and looked back at the noble son. Chen Letian thought to himself, they can listen to your me, and your surname. But soon Chen Letian was going to have the surname of this noble son who didn't know what his surname was, because after a short hesitation, the beggars really dispersed and did not continue to stretch out their claws to Chen Letian.
Chen Letian arched his hand: "Thank you for this son." ”
Gui Gongzi said: "This brother, this is not a good place, it is better not to come if you are fine." ”
"Why?" asked Chen Letian.
"Because there's nothing to see here, ten out of ten people are people who don't work hard. Obviously, you can earn a bowl of rice with your own hands, but you don't want to move, you just want to get something for nothing. You come here and you can't learn anything. The noble prince replied.
Chen Letian asked, "In that case, why are you here?"
Gui Gongzi smiled and said, "Because I was about to die once, I came here and was saved by this group of people." ”
Chen Letian said: "Since they saved you, a person you don't know, it shows that it is not useless." ”
The noble prince shook his head and said, "No, it was because some of them recognized my identity that they saved me, and before saving me, I promised them a lot of silver to give them, and they promised to save me." That's why you see me giving them money. I gave them money to repay them for saving their lives, but I knew very well what kind of people they were. ”
"Since it's a deal, then you've already repaid the favor, it's just a deal, why bother coming now?" Chen Letian wondered.
"You're right, but to me, no matter how much money they give them, they will always be my saviors. It is true that I would have repaid their kindness to anyone else, but from my heart, I am at peace...", the noble prince looked helpless, but when he turned his gaze to the beggars, there was pity in his eyes.
Chen Letian looked at his eyes, and then at those beggars, and suddenly remembered another picture in his heart. When he was in the Northern Army, the soldiers of the 100th Forward Battalion broke through to the border of Wei under his leadership, which was a mountain. After wandering around the mountains for a while, they suddenly found a village in the mountains. There are dozens of families in this village, all of whom are engaged in murder and extortion, specializing in robbing people who come and go here. A hundred of them found many things and things in the village that they had never heard of in their lives.
For example, the villagers have many skulls in every household, and whoever has the most skulls is the most prestigious in the village. In this hierarchical village, the clearest decision is the human skull, where the human skull is as useful as the fame and money of the people outside the mountains.
In the eyes of those villagers, Chen Letian saw numbness, just like the eyes of these beggars in front of him at this time.
Waste, not necessarily all actively want to be waste.
Bad people don't necessarily really want to be bad guys.
Maybe they don't know they're a piece of waste or a bad person.
In their heads, they can only live like this, and there is no other choice.
