Chapter Thirty-Six: The Great Events of the Town
Carrying a bag of grain, the strong man in the lead was still very contemptuous and scolded Runyuanwai angrily before leaving: "Why are you so poor? ”
Outside the run, he could only smile and nod wryly at the strong man's face, and it was too late to say anything.
After a few moments, the fifty or so people were gone.
In the middle of the road, there was only one empty car and the four of us silent.
The dead woods seemed unusually oppressive and lonely at the moment.
After a while, suddenly a man's angry roar was heard in the silent woods.
"You loser boy, are you interfering here? You are generous to give away a whole cart of grain! Do you know how difficult it is for this grain to come by?"
Run's anger finally broke out, this is the hard-earned money he has worked hard to accumulate for many years, and it is about to turn into a considerable fortune, but it will come to naught in the blink of an eye, how can he not be angry? Of course, the reason for his anger is probably also because of the stimulus of the strong man's last words.
Although Brother Rundong didn't refute anything, he was obviously unconvinced, and stubbornly twisted his head to the side.
My dad also knew that Runyuan was in a bad mood, no matter who he changed, he would be very sad to lose such a large fortune just now, so he was busy persuading Runyuanwai: "Don't be angry outside Runyuan, fortunately, everyone is fine." ”
Runyuanwai also knew that getting angry now couldn't solve the problem, but Runyuanwai, who had always regarded wealth as a second life, still couldn't twist his mind, he pointed at Rundong with his hand, and thought about teaching Rundong something more, this kid is completely wrong with himself!
Seeing this, my father was afraid that their father and son would be stiff again, so he immediately stood up and said, "Runrenwai, now you don't have to go into the city, the rest of the road ahead is not far, let's just walk to the town, let's separate here." "Dad means that he wants to be separated from Runyuanwai and Rundong, so that it is better to let Runyuanwai's own family quarrel than to quarrel in front of outsiders, otherwise it will intensify their emotions.
Runyuanwai also thought so, he couldn't wait to find a private space to vent, so Runyuanwai turned his head and immediately continued to yell at Rundong: "Why don't you get in the car soon?"
"No, I'm going to the town with Uncle Ling. ”
I didn't expect Brother Rundong to say such a sentence on his neck, he obviously didn't want to go back with Runyuanwai, and now Runyuanwai won't beat Rundong, but nagging all the way will make Rundong unbearable, so he wants to choose to go to the town with us, and he doesn't want to go back to the village with Runyuanwai.
"You ......"
Runren was so angry that he was about to get angry again.
The contradiction is intensifying again, my dad knows that these two people are stubborn, and if this continues, there will definitely be sparks again, he hurriedly took a step again, came to Runyuanwai, and persuaded and said: "Then let Rundong go with me, the rest of the road is not far, I should be fine to take care of him." ”
glared at Rundong fiercely, Runyuanwai was extremely angry, but he also knew that he could not persuade Rundong to go back, besides, Lu Rundong, who had been to the town many times, was very familiar with it, and nothing would happen, so Runyuanwai didn't say anything, snorted heavily, turned his head angrily and immediately drove the car back to the village.
Runren went away.
The road left a bleak back of one person and one car.
At this moment, the lost and thin figure outside Runren looked a little sad.
"Scrooge. ”
Seeing that Runyuan had already walked away, Brother Rundong still muttered quietly and glanced in that direction.
My dad looked at Rundong, thought about it, and said, "Young Master Run, don't talk about your dad like that, in fact, the people in the village still admire your dad's ability, and he has been able to run a small family to this day, which is not comparable to ordinary people." ”
"Hmph, but if we hadn't given food to those people just now, wouldn't our lives be gone. Brother Rundong retorted unconvinced.
My dad was slightly stunned, obviously he shouldn't have thought that Rundong gave food to that group of people because he thought of this layer of interests, if Rundong just gave food to that group of people because of kindness, this can be said to be a little close to bookish pedantry to some extent, but if Rundong was only a teenager and could think of this meaning, it obviously surprised my father, which at least shows that this child is very open to the issue of trade-offs and makes decisions.
I don't think so, there are a few people who can defend the money jar to the death at this time, like Runrenwai, people should know how to make trade-offs.
Dad didn't say anything more, and the people in the mountains didn't know what to preach, and Dad himself was not good at words, so the three of them went on the road together and went to the town.
The 30-mile mountain road is nothing to the people in the mountains, not to mention that everyone is a cultivator, Dad is the seventh level of condensation, Brother Rundong is the second level of condensation, and I am the fourth level of condensation, if it is not for the sake of taking care of my short legs, the speed of travel will be faster, and sometimes I will pretend to be tired, let my father hold for a while, and then leave, we came to the town before noon.
This town is not very big, compared to the big city with a population of millions and tens of millions that I have seen before, this is just a small town built in a relatively flat place between several mountains, a bit like a mountain fortress, it is said that there are only a few thousand households here, tens of thousands of people, but I haven't seen so many people for a long time, although I encountered those unhappiness before, but the novelty of coming to a new place quickly swept away the previous haze, and the three of us walked into the town with brisk steps.
The houses in the town are no longer the adobe houses in the village, they are all brick structures, the houses here are a bit like the mountain fortresses of the ethnic minorities, and the style of these houses is very quaint, with gray walls and gray tiles, it can be seen that this is a town with a long history, and many of the walls in the town have traces of moss that have turned black.
We walked into the town, strolling through the streets paved with blue and black stones, and I had hoped to find out the difference between the otherworldly town and the town I had known before, but when I arrived here, I found that the main attraction here was the ragged beggars on both sides of the street, standing in two rows, begging from passers-by.
"I didn't expect there to be so many victims now. Brother Rundong, who often comes to the town, couldn't help but feel that it seems that there are not so many people begging along the streets here.
Although these people deserve pity, it is a pity that we are also poor, and we have no money on us, so we can only bow our heads and continue to walk into the street, in fact, these beggars saw the clothes of the three of us and also wisely bypassed them directly, looking at it like that, as if they also thought that it would not take much time for us to join them.
Dad took us straight to the leather shop in town.
The town is small, there are only three leather shops, my father asked the three shops, the price is about the same, not high, and finally he sold the deerskin to the one with the highest price, for seven silver coins and 55 copper coins, before a deerskin heard that it can be exchanged for eight or even nine silver coins, now it can only be exchanged for seven and a half, obviously a lot of losses.
One silver coin can be exchanged for 100 copper coins, and seven and a half silver coins is already a lot of money for Dad.
Dad put the money close to him, although the price of the exchange was not ideal, but after Dad had money in his pocket, he was still a lot more confident: "Let's go, let's have lunch." ”
"I'm going to eat fried pies!"
"Okay, two per person!"
"Oh!
......
Children from poor families can easily find happiness.
The three of us walked briskly towards the center of town, where there was a small market, and Dad had to sell some of the family's daily needlework, oil, salt, and so on.
But before we got far, we suddenly found that the pedestrians on the street became noisy for no reason, and many people were running, and everyone was running in the direction of the street in front of them, which made me nervous when I first entered the city, and I didn't know what was going to happen, but listen carefully, those people were still shouting while running.
"Look at it, there's someone up front who is going to be killed!"
"Kill whom?"
"I heard that it is to correct the people who robbed grain in the town a few days ago!"
"Really, we caught someone so quickly. ”
"Take a look. ”
......
Hearing this news, my mood changed from the previous nervousness to curiosity, I and Brother Rundong and my father glanced at each other, and then invariably rushed forward with the crowd, the people in the mountains have not seen any market, occasionally into the city to encounter such a big thing, of course to go to see the lively, back to the village, this is the first-hand material, enough to make the surrounding villagers chase after you like a fart, ask this and that, that is a very face-saving thing.
Besides, this matter is definitely a big deal for these so-called people in the town who have seen the world, or those people will not run in that direction.
Ran out of a street again, a vacant lot in front of it has been surrounded by a sea of people, there are thousands of people, it is estimated that almost half of the people in the town have come here to see the excitement, this excitement is absolutely worth it!
There were so many people that my diminutive stature could only be seen in the back of the crowd, patched pants.
"Dad, I'm going to sit on your shoulder. "I exclaimed, I had a fine tradition of watching the excitement before I crossed over, and of course I can't let it go now.
Dad shook his head and said to me very seriously: "No, the murder scene is very scary, you are too young to watch it now, you will have nightmares when you see it." ”
