"Coming back?" As soon as the two-hundred-pound fat man turned into the alley, a middle-aged man with a bent waist came up to say hello.

The fat man nodded, "Well, I'm back, how is your family's health?" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head slightly, his wrinkled face engraved with the vicissitudes of time and the burden of life, "The old way, you can eat and drink, but you can't move, waiting for me to serve." ”

Originally, the conditions at the middle-aged man's home were still good, the woman in the family was honest, and she was also doable, not to mention how good the small life was, but at least food and clothing were not a problem, but a few years ago, the woman sprained her waist directly when she was moving goods at the dock, and she couldn't move on the spot.

After being sent home by his companions, he was reluctant to spend money to see the doctor, so he hastily put on some herbs to rest, who ever thought, when he woke up, not only could he not move, but even speaking became laborious, so he didn't dare to delay it anymore, and hurriedly went to the hospital.

The doctor shook his head and prescribed medicine, so he could only try to eat it as much as possible to see if it could be cured.

However, after taking this medicine for three years, the family was poor and empty, and the middle-aged man who ate it became ten years old in order to make money to support his family, and the woman was still paralyzed on the bed and could not move, convulsing from time to time, in addition to being able to eat and drink, like a living dead.

"Xiao Jiang, look, do you have any clothes to wash at home, I'm very empty now, as long as there are three copper plates, I'll wash a basin for you." The middle-aged man looked at the fat man with a look of hope, his eyes full of pleading.

As he grew older, he could no longer walk far, so he could only go door-to-door to ask about business in a few nearby houses, but who had the money to wash clothes, the family was not rich, and he could just wash in the water casually, where did he need others.

Therefore, the middle-aged man's life became more and more difficult, and he could only fill his hunger with water in the morning, and there was not even a little food at home except for the last medicine.

The fat man is the best condition in the family, and it can be seen from the meat that the family really can't open the pot, although he has asked two days ago, but today the middle-aged man is still cheeky to try his luck.

But in fact, he didn't have much hope in his heart.

The fat man thought about the pile of dirty clothes that the woman in the family had just changed, and thought of the advantage he took when buying things today, hesitated for two seconds, and directly agreed, "Okay, I'll send the clothes over later, why don't you help me wash them, and I'll come back in the afternoon to get them." ”

Fat Lang's home is in the depths of the alley, a little far away, so every time he has to send his clothes over and take them back, when Fat Lang took off first, he has always been reluctant to do business with middle-aged men, but today he is in a good mood, so he doesn't care about this.

The fat man paused, remembered the top again, reached into the basket, and knocked the yellow rock candy he had just gotten to the wall on the side, one hand carefully waited below, knocked a small piece of rock candy the size of a fingernail, and handed it to the middle-aged man painfully, "I gave it to you, this sugar is sweet, you take it back to make up for your body." ”

Then, I licked the powder that fell from my palm, and when I tasted the sweetness in my mouth, the corners of my mouth hooked.

The middle-aged man wiped his hands flattered, and carefully picked up the rock candy through his clothes, for fear that the temperature of his palms would dissolve the sugar, and his voice was choked, "Thank you, Xiao Jiang, thank you." ”

If it were in the 21st century, giving someone such a small piece of candy would definitely be considered a provocation, but in the Great Zhou, a little sweetness is a godsend, so what is there to be picky about?

Xiao Jiang waved his hand, "It's okay, in case the grocery store is cheap today, everything is half price, I just had to buy a large piece of 25 copper plates!" It's a good deal. ”

The middle-aged man's eyes widened, and his face was incredible, such a big piece of candy only costs 25? In the past, more than 50 copper plates could not be grabbed!

"Really? Which grocery store? ”

"On the street around the corner, the newly opened one, there are a lot of people in it, you will know when you look at it. It's a pity that their family's discount is only three days, and after three days, it will cost 50 copper plates. ”

It's that although his family is said to be good, but not rich, a woman's salary for two days is only forty copper plates, even if you need to buy more sugar, I really hope that the boss of the grocery store can buy it cheaper in the future, how good it would be!

On the other hand, the owner of the grocery store who lacks the heart is also in trouble.

Xue Rou stood silently under the begonia tree, she didn't feel anything, but Lu Yi was a little unaccustomed to it, and stretched out her foot and kicked Xue Rou's calf, "Is there something wrong with you?" "The implication is that it's okay to get out of here.

But I don't know if Lu Yi's tone was too gentle or his expression was too innocent, Xue Rou didn't feel Lu Yi's intention to drive people away at all, but instead came over in a hurry, "It's okay, just look at what you're doing." ”

Hearing this, Lu Yi turned the book over, "I'm looking at strange things in geography, do you want to read it?" "The book is densely packed with brush characters, although the font is not small, but the dense arrangement makes Xue Rou a little unscrupulous.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Xue Rou can't read the words in the book very well, and it is a torment to read traditional Chinese characters after she is used to reading simplified characters.

"That, forget it, I'm not very interested in these things," Xue Rou touched her nose, not very wanting to admit that she was illiterate in Da Zhou.

Lu Yi thought for a second, and in Xue Rou's stunned gaze, he took out three books from behind his body, "I have other books here, the four inventory items, the game of art, the history of the history, which one do you want to read?" ”

Thank God, the simplified and traditional Chinese characters are almost the same, and Xue Rou can still recognize them, "I'll just read the historical records, hehehe, if you continue, I won't bother you." ”

Turning around, Xue Rou, who returned to her room with the book, opened her mobile phone with a hideous face, searched for traditional Chinese teaching, and then saw a crow on the mobile phone with six dots behind it.

I opened the book with a painful look and read it, and read two lines in ten minutes, but the accuracy is not guaranteed, this efficiency, Xue Rou wanted to drop the bowl in pain.

Forget it, don't struggle, it's not the first time I've lost face anyway.

This flower doesn't bloom and the other flower blooms, so she should practice martial arts well.

Thinking of this, Xue Rou finally remembered something, from getting up in the morning to now, she didn't seem to have seen Master Ah Qi? It shouldn't be, in the past, Ah Qi got up very early every day to practice martial arts, why do you still see people today?

The other side

Two amazing guests came to the second floor of Zhenweixuan, and the entire floor was emptied.

The shopkeeper licked an old face, and slowly handed the fragrant food on the table with great hospitality, one by two, until he couldn't put it on the table anymore, then he withdrew his hand, and his voice was flattering: "My lord, please use it slowly." ”

The vermilion figure hummed faintly, and his attitude was very high, but the shopkeeper was not angry, and retreated with a natural and respectful face.

There were only two people left in the room, and the scarlet figure slowly spoke, and his tone was excited: "Ah Qi, I finally found you." ”

Opposite the scarlet figure, a woman dressed in black and wearing a hood paused, slowly took off her hat, revealing a resolute face with a flat expression: "Do you really know me?" ”
