017 Bluestone Steps
"Well, I want this."
"Ahem......" The old beggar leaned forward slightly, "The little lady looks good, but she doesn't have a good eye for seeing things." This thing is not valuable, if the little lady wants it sincerely, the old man will give it to the little lady. β
The cold wind at the end of the year shuttled through Zelin City, blowing Su Wantang's black hair, and she was messy in the cold wind.
I originally wanted to help the old beggar, but I didn't think that people would send it directly, but now it's okay to prostitute it directly.
"I'm really not very good at picking things, so which baby do you say is better here?"
The old beggar was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then smiled and said: "The little lady is so simple, not afraid that the old man will deceive people?" β
"You don't look like a bad guy at first glance, I believe in your character, and I believe in your vision." Su Wantang smiled slightly, she was running for the purpose of charity, so what if she cheated or not?
The old beggar leaning on the bluestone steps of the teahouse squinted his eyes and smiled, and then the fingers with plaster in the nails grabbed the most inconspicuous small wooden box in the corner of the stall, "This is a good thing, little lady, buy this." β
Su Wantang didn't say a word, and took the wooden box in the old beggar's hand, although it was full of a layer of ash on it.
"Then let's take this. How much? Su Wantang looked back at the direction of the Bing Candle Pavilion, and realized that the meeting time was approaching, so she casually threw the wooden box into the ring, took out a small purse, and prepared to pay.
"This is difficult, the old man has been open for so long, and he hasn't sold anything, what price should he set? Or, the little lady looks at it? The old beggar grinned, revealing his yellow teeth.
"Two by two...... Five taels, five taels of silver is enough? β
"Five...... Five taels? Little lady, this is too much, the old man is not worth so much money. Little lady, give the pot of wine money. The old beggar put away the cute smile he had just put away and waved his hand anxiously.
Su Wantang put down five taels of silver, and took something from the stall, "I see that this thing is good, why don't you give it to me together?" β
"It's easy to say, just take it, little lady."
As soon as the old beggar finished speaking, a very long birdsong sounded from behind, and a little white light flashed in the air.
It was the assembly signal, and Su Wantang stood up, "I should go." β
"Little lady, go slowly."
Su Wantang passed by a man in white on the way back, neither of them was aware of each other's existence, and the two people who never knew each other now are inextricably linked in the future.
"This little lady is a little cute, but she is too naΓ―ve, just don't be deceived by the person who cares in the future." The old beggar put away the silver taels she had left behind, and was smiling and humming a little tune, when a figure suddenly crossed in front of the stall.
"Old thing, I've been looking for you for a long time." The man's fluttering words pierced his ears like an ice pick, making the cold wind in this winter even more chilling.
Hearing this, the old beggar's smile gradually disappeared, and he squinted his eyes without smiling, "It's you." It's really an honor for the old man to be able to keep a big man like you in mind. Merely...... The shop is closed today, so come back tomorrow. β
The man did not have any emotional changes because of the old beggar's refusal, his face still did not change, but his eyebrows raised slightly, and he said coldly: "I think you probably understood something wrong, I don't think that I gave you the right to choose." β
"Anyway, you didn't think about letting the old man get out of here alive, and when he died at your hands was just a matter of time, right?" The old beggar's dim eyes were a little sharper.
"You're not too stupid. I wanted you to live a little longer, but now it doesn't seem necessary. β
The old beggar, who was already desperate, laughed out loud at this time, "You can take the cheap life of the old man." You won't get what you want anyway. Uh......"
In an instant, the old beggar felt that there was a thousand catties of power on his body, and he couldn't breathe, as if the whole person was about to be crushed into a meatloaf, and he immediately mobilized his internal strength to fight against the invisible force, but it was useless. As soon as blood gushed out of his mouth, then the seven orifices bleed, and finally he fell heavily at the bottom of the bluestone steps.
"If you don't do what you can, you're pitifully stupid."
The man disappeared into the crowd as if he had never been seen, and at the end of the alley was only the corpse of an unknown beggar.
