The wild wind is blowing, and the grass is green.

Bai Yunshen and Yu Tianqing have been hovering in the bitter realm for two days, the life in the bitter realm is not as rich as the Central Plains, the land is barren, the wind and sand cover the ground, the ground is hard and hard, and the people living here are much more indifferent than the people of the Central Plains.

Kushuipu is a place on the edge of the bitter realm, near a resting place along the road. Passers-by will drink a glass of bitter water here before hurrying.

Inside the shop, a thin old man, hunched back, bent over, even his head was low.

"Guest officer. Two bowls of bitter water, a plate of lotus hearts. ”

His voice was flat and deep, and he couldn't hear any tone.

In the past two days, Yu Tianqing has become accustomed to such a tone, such a posture, and such a favor.

She took a sip gently, and the heavy green astringency swept through her mouth.

Bai Yunshen said, "If you can't get used to drinking, don't force it." ”

Yu Tianqing looked at the people around her, they were all ordinary bitter water, but she didn't even frown when she drank it, and she was already happy.

She couldn't help but take another sip, which was more bitter and astringent.

After three bites, she seemed to feel that all her internal organs were bitter together, and even her breath had a bitter taste.

Yu Tianqing sighed, "What a bowl of bitter water." ”

She involuntarily pinched a lotus heart and put it in her mouth, the bitterness of the bitter water diluted the bitterness of the lotus heart, and when she chewed it, she revealed a sweet taste.

If life is only bitter, you will naturally swallow everything. Even, in the bitter taste, unexpectedly taste nectar.

She suddenly sighed, "If you eat bitterly, you will know that bitterness is sweet." ”

Bai Yunshen smiled, "I didn't expect that a bowl of bitter water and a lotus heart will make you taste life." ”

Yu Tianqing thought for a moment, "Xu is the owner of this shop, and he has a life path far beyond ordinary people." ”

Then a child entered, with his black hands outstretched and in ragged clothes, begging along the table for the guests.

"Guest, okay."

His immature face looked like he was only eight or nine years old.

Without exception, no one paid any attention to him, and everyone seemed to have become commonplace, and some people waved their hands and scolded him to leave like a wild dog.

Yu Tianqing couldn't bear it, touched the purse in the bag, and took out a few pieces of money, this is still the first place she won in the Zeying Club before, and Jiang Feng exchanged the loose money for the silver, and gave her a backup.

When the little boy saw that someone was willing to give alms, he jumped in three steps and two steps, and when he saw the money in Yu Tianqing's hand, his happy face instantly frowned, "What kind of money is this, if you don't give it, you won't give it, do you tease me?" ”

Yu Tianqing looked puzzled, "Isn't this money?" ”

"Of course not."

"So what counts as money?"

"It's so strange for you to know money and give money to others."

Yu Tianqing was speechless by what he said.

At this time, Bai Yunshen took out two coins and threw them at the little boy, "Oh, this is for you." ”

The little boy took it happily and thanked him hurriedly. Then, he approached Yu Tianqing again, with a pair of swarthy eyes, blinking at the brightness of his age, he pointed to the coin in his hand and said to Yu Tianqing, "Look clearly, this is money!" Don't send people away in the future! ”

was reprimanded by a milky child, Yu Tianqing couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

The little boy deliberately approached Yu Tianqing, and after shaking the coin twice in front of her, he left.

Seeing that he was still a little staggering, Yu Tianqing couldn't cry or laugh.

Bai Yunshen smiled and explained, "The currency currency of the Bitter Realm is different from that of the Central Plains, usually they prefer to exchange gold, silver, or jade. ”

Yu Tianqing suddenly realized, "No wonder when I first took out the copper coin, he actually said that he didn't know him." ”

Bai Yunshen said, "I'm afraid he has never been out of the suffering realm, and he naturally doesn't know anything about what the suffering realm doesn't have." ”

At this point, the atmosphere was unexpectedly heavy.

Bai Yunshen said goodbye to the topic and said, "It's not early, let's go to the next village and town early." ”

Yu Tianqing's head agreed, "That's very good." ”

When she got up, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Bai Yunshen sensed her confusion and asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Yu Tianqing touched his waist, and after a while, he suddenly said, "My jade pendant seems to be missing." ”

Bai Yun Shen was sharp-minded, and blurted out, "It must have been the kid who left just now." ”

Yu Tianqing thought of the sudden approach of the child just now, and hesitated for a moment, "How can such a young child be like this?" ”

"Don't talk too much, it's important to chase him."

After that, Bai Yunshen and Yu Tianqing both chased out.

The old man of the shopkeeper slowly cleaned up the table they had just sat on, and the guests around him were still drinking the tea in their bowls, as if they had not heard anything, or even if they did, it was as if they had not heard.

The two chased them for miles, and they saw a small hut. The child's feet are not fast, and there are no other intersections on the four sides, so I want to be in it.

"Master, you see, I'm begging for money today." The boy's voice, with a hint of milk, was the little boy who took the jade pendant.

"Get on your knees!"

A man's scolding came from inside the room, but the tone was very serious, but it became light, like a gossamer.

However, the majesty of the one who spoke remained.

Through the doors and windows, it can be vaguely seen that the little boy is kneeling in front of the hall as he is taught.

"Do you know what's wrong?"

"The Master said that a scholar should have integrity, and should not beg from others, or wag his tail and beg for mercy."

"If you know your mistakes, can you admit them?"

"Du Wenwen admits his mistake." Then the little boy said, "But these two coins were given to me by a big brother, and I did not ask him for them." ”

Yu Tianqing and Bai Yunshen glanced at each other, and laughed in their hearts, this little boy named Du Wenwen was also witty, it was indeed not he who asked for it.

I heard Du Wenwen muttering in a low voice, "That big brother is beautifully dressed and different, he must be a rich man, maybe he saw Du Wenwen cute, so he rewarded me." ”

"Nonsense." The man in the back room seemed to be really angry, "You are so proud of your hue, I have really taught you for so many years." ”

Immediately afterward, there was a coughing sound from inside.

Du Wenwen was very nervous, and hurriedly shouted, "Master, I was wrong. Du's article will not be in the future. ”

The coughing continued continuously, and after a long time, it stopped, and the man gasped and said, "Let me ask you, where did the jade pendant on your waist come from?" ”

Du Wenwen was startled, hurriedly took the jade pendant from his waist, hid it behind him, and his words flashed.

The man said sharply, "If you don't say it, you won't want to see me in the future!" ”

Du Wenwen was shocked, "Master, don't be angry. This jade pendant is a big sister's, the big sister is with the big brother, the big brother gave me coins, and the big sister didn't have any money on her, so she gave me the jade pendant......"

"What you said is true?"

Du Wenwen nodded again and again, "Of course, Du Wenwen doesn't dare to deceive the master." ”

I only heard the man say quietly, "The bitter realm is barren, and gold and jade are especially valuable, how can someone easily give you a jade pendant?" ”

Du Wenwen said cautiously, "It seems that they are two strangers. ”

The man sighed lightly, "Perhaps, only a foreigner would be so generous." ”
