Chapter 2: The Little Beggar (Part II)
The girl walked up to them timidly, the north wind blew, and the sour smell came to her nose, Sang Yang instinctively covered her nose to drive her away, but because she saw that Senior Sister Chu was opposite, she hurriedly smiled and took an empty bowl and picked a few steamed buns and handed them to the little beggar: "Take them and eat them." β
The little beggar silently took the bowl full of steamed buns, did not thank him or eat the steamed buns, and only looked directly at the fragrant meal, his eyes were quite sad.
Chu Qiongying was a woman after all, and she was touched unconsciously, she waved her hand to call the shopkeeper, pointed to the little beggar and said, "Take a few meat dishes, I'm afraid this kid hasn't eaten enough for many days." β
The shopkeeper glanced at the little beggar and said disdainfully: "Immortal Chief, don't sympathize with this little Hanako." This kind of person, God knows what kind of trouble he caused to fall into such a situation, save him, maybe he will get into trouble!"
"Heyβ"
When Chu Qiongying heard this, she was about to have a seizure, but Shen Tian held her down.
No wonder the teachers and commanders say that the world is declining, and even a child has become a beggar. β
He said coldly, not angry and arrogant, the little two were so frightened that he hurriedly changed his words: "The little one will go immediately." "Let's go downstairs with a smoke.
Unexpectedly, Qingshi Town was also such a powerful force, Shen Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head, he glanced at the little beggar, he was indeed covered with dirt, but the contour of his face was a rare mark, his small body was wrapped in thin clothes that were so dirty that he couldn't see the original color, and his skinny wrist was clasped with a thin bracelet full of black mud.
The Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed, and many people in the world were displaced.
It was with emotion that Xiao Er brought a whole bowl of chicken and fish and put it heavily on the ground. Although the girl was dizzy with hunger, she did not lose her courtesy, she squatted down and picked up the black pottery bowl, thanked the immortals, and then shrank aside, leaning against the wooden pillar and eating slowly.
The food is very elegant, obviously from a scholarly family.
It's a pity that although this kid has good roots, he doesn't have a fairy fate, Shen Tian sighed secretly, turned around, and chatted with his younger brothers and sisters, tasting tea and enjoying the snow, and waited until the sky was getting dark and the lights were lit, so he got up and prepared to check out and leave.
And yetβ
"Can the Immortal Elder take me away? I want to cultivate immortals. The sound as thin as a gnat sounded, and Shen Tian lowered his head and saw the girl's pleading eyes, his hands full of dirt and oil clutching his robe.
Sang Yang suddenly frowned, this little beggar's root bone is not the material for cultivating immortals, and he actually wants to spy on the heavens. He was about to step forward to help the senior brother pull people away, but he saw Shen Tian squatting down, taking out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiping the girl's face full of dirt and oil.
"I'm sorry," he said softly, "your physique is not suitable for cultivating immortals, so I can't take you away." β
Then he said to the younger brothers and sisters on the side, "Which of you brought a silver tael? Lend me a little." β
Everyone knew that the Bodhisattva of the senior brother had a seizure, but the disciples of the Xianmen had never carried a large amount of silver on them, and a few people got together for a few dollars to break the silver, and they also lost Chu Qiong's heroic spirit, pulled out a purple jade hairpin, and said: "Senior brother, this hairpin can be exchanged for a dozen taels of silver when pawned in a pawnshop." β
"Thank you, Senior Sister Chu. I'll give you two Pei Yuan Dan when I go back. β
After that, Shen Tian wrapped the finely broken silver and hairpins and stuffed them into the arms of the little beggar: "Take it, find a village with your mother to live in peace." β
β...... But I ...... Immortal Chief, I have no relatives...... The silver money given to me by the immortal chief, I am afraid that as soon as the immortal chief comes out, he will be ...... People deceived ...... Ask the fairy to have mercy on me and take me as a fire boy...... I'm smart and can do anything!"
The girl said sadly, tears washing away the dirt from her face, revealing her white skin.
Shen Tian sighed, he wanted to transfer all the money to the shopkeeper, but after thinking about it, people's hearts are cunning, and this child is a lonely and helpless person, he is afraid that even if he orders them to take care of it, when he leaves, these people will take the money for themselves.
What's more, this child is indeed too young.
So she looked at the girl again, trying to find out the root bones of Xiuzhen. It's a pity that although the appearance under the dirt is beautiful, the roots and bones are extremely bad, and I can only sigh: "I can't take you into the mountain gate." You are not the material for cultivating immortals. β
"Really, can't?"
The girl looked at Shen Tian sadly, tears dripping from her big eyes, although Shen Tian couldn't bear it, she still left with her younger brothers and sisters.
Looking at their unrelenting backs, the girl who was left in place bit her lip and let go of her hand, and the silver money given to her by the fairy Changsai was silently scattered all over the ground, and her big black eyes rolled for a long time, and finally did not squeeze out tears.
Beside him, there was a sound of mockery.
"The little beggar still wants to be a fairy, and he can't do it himself!"
"I don't know if there is a kitten with three catties of meat after removing the internal organs, I don't know if there is a kitten with tuberculosis. β
"Hurry up and stay away!"
The men and women laughed arbitrarily, but the shopkeeper of Wangxiang Tower was a delicate man, he carefully picked up the silver taels and hairpins on the ground, and said to the girl, "You go to the backyard to help light the fire." The immortal chief left us a lot of money to take care of you, and if you die one day, I will have to buy you a coffin. β
After speaking, he walked back to Wangxiang Tower with square steps, and the men and women who were watching saw this, and gradually dispersed, and the shopkeeper wanted to step forward and pull away this little thing that was as thin as a reed wood pole, who wanted to touch her yet, and was bounced away by an invisible force.
It's evil, the shopkeeper thought secretly, and hurriedly stepped aside.
The little beggar was unaware of this accident, and she walked forward with tears in her eyes, immersed in the sadness of being rejected, and suddenlyβ
"Hey, little girl, I don't see that you're quite ambitious. β
An old but energetic voice, the girl looked up and saw the old beggar in the corner.
Gray-haired, he held an old wooden sword, placed a broken bowl in front of him, and lay lazily in the corner, although it was winter, he was full of vitality.
"Grandpa, you are at the point where you are now, aren't you also miserable?"
She asked puzzled, although she was down, her voice was good, and her tone was warm, which was quite cute.
"Little girl, don't be in a hurry to say that I'm miserable, I'm not dead yet, I still have a breath of air, and I can start again. People, if you can't succeed in something, it must be that you don't work hard enough. β
"How come I don't try hard enough, I ...... Everyone in the family is dead, and I have walked thousands of miles alone, and I ...... Why is it a sentence of insufficient qualifications...... I ......"
"Qualifications? What are qualifications? If you want to talk about the talent of cultivating immortals, who in the world can compare to the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty? But no matter how strong his talent is, he can't be stronger than the Mandate of Heaven, and at the age of sixteen, he was stained with karmic fire, his cultivation was completely wasted, and his soul was shattered. Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you can't even be an ordinary person. Geniuses emerge one after another, but how many of those great supernatural cultivators who can really stand at the top of the cultivation realm stand out from the crowd when they were teenagers? Talent is bullshit, people with congenital deficiencies are everywhere, and my old man has no cultivation roots, can he still live until now?"
The old beggar laughed, stretched, turned to the wall, and went back to sleep.
When the little girl heard this, she immediately understood, she kowtowed twice to the old beggar, and turned to chase in the direction where the immortals had left.
Brother Yeyin said: "The so-called genius is a genius in the sky. What ordinary people can't do is genius. With a determined heart, everyone can become a genius. β
Rejection is not the end, as long as there is a breath left, there is a new beginning.
My life was bought for Brother Yayin's life, and it must never be wasted!
If you don't have enough talent, then make up for it with ten times the day after tomorrow!
