The two shop guys paced over and said, "Two guest officers, if you let them in, it will affect our restaurant's business." "Bastard!" Tong Liwei slapped the table, the bowls and plates clattered, and the little beggars were startled and quickly stopped eating. Wang Shuqiu hurriedly comforted them and motioned to continue eating.

Tong Liwei said: "Don't I have any silver? What I have is silver, and I can invite whoever I want to eat. Your grandma's, go and bring it to the big plate, and take a little time to set the color of your two stinky boys. His eyes widened and he shook his fist the size of a vinegar jar. The two shop guys were stupid by the momentum, and hurriedly went to serve the food so as not to delay the strong man and suffer an unforeseen disaster.

Wang Shuqiu said: "Brother Tong, good people do it to the end, it's better to give them some silver." Tong Liwei said: "After settling the account, there are broken silver, all of them are given to them." After a while, a large plate of fish was served again, and the little beggars were eaten until their little bellies were swollen. Tong Liwei settled the bill and stuffed the broken silver to one of the older boys. The boy quickly withdrew his hand and shook his head. Wang Shuqiu said: "Pick it up!" You can buy something to eat. ”

The boy's eyes immediately turned red and tears flowed. He hurriedly wiped it with his arm and said, "That's not enough." Wang Shuqiu said softly: "What's wrong! Tell my sister. The boy said, "We have a lot of people who don't have anything to eat." Wang Shuqiu said: "Don't cry, take my sister to see." The boy said, "Sister, come with me." ”

Tong Liwei shook his head and secretly laughed at this delicate wife who was too unalert, what if this was a trap. Although these little beggars in front of them are inconspicuous and will not have any signs of danger, the more inconspicuous they are, the more careful they must be, this is the experience of the rivers and lakes. Lao Jianghu will not easily follow people, let alone strangers. Wang Shuqiu said with a smile: "Let's go to help the poor, and we are worthy of the title of hero." Tong Liwei saw her innocent smile, and couldn't help but feel calm.

I turned a few corners, crossed a few streets, and came to the Temple of Literature. Fruit saw a large group of beggars in tattered clothes and dirt in the Temple of Literature. When Wang Shuqiu saw it, he immediately remembered the hungry people who besieged them in Daming Temple, and they also looked pitiful. But it was this group of defenseless hungry people who were slaughtered like lambs by her men. Every time she thought of this, Wang Shuqiu felt guilty, and her heart was overwhelmed by the heavy stone. Now is the time for her to atone for her sins.

Wang Shuqiu said: "Brother Tong, give them the silver!" Tong Liwei said: "There are as many as 100 people, and the silver is too big, I'm afraid some can't be divided." I went to the money shop and exchanged the silver for small portions or copper plates and distributed them among them. Wang Shuqiu said: "Then go quickly." "Tong Liwei got on the horse to change zero.

An old beggar came with a few little beggars and said, "Thank you, girl! Wang Shuqiu said: "Old man, the little woman is just doing her best." "When I think of the starving people in Daming Temple who died because of her, this is nothing. The old beggar said, "I heard that the girl wants to give us food." Wang Shuqiu said: "Old man, you wait." There will be something to eat. When the old beggar heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Someone has brought something to eat!" ”

When she boarded, the beggars who were originally standing and sitting next to the Temple of Literature swarmed up and surrounded Wang Shuqiu in the middle, and immediately a smell of baking rushed in, almost suffocating her. Wang Shuqiu held her breath and said, "Don't worry, everyone, you will come." The group of beggars was obviously hungry, and their chattering was so noisy that it shook Wang Shuqiu's ears. She was so anxious, why didn't Tong Liwei return. If you don't come back, you won't be stunned if you stink her to death.

The old beggar said, "Don't stink a big girl, get out of the way!" The old beggar seemed to be the leader of the group of beggars, and the beggars slowly dispersed. Wang Shuqiu finally took a long breath, patted her chest again and again, and shouted in her heart: "It's okay!" OK! The old beggar said, "Girl, they are all a bunch of rough people, please don't mind." Wang Shuqiu hurriedly said, "How could it be." He added: "Old man, you don't look like a down-and-out person. ”

The old beggar sighed: "Don't hide it from you, girl, I am a talent who has fallen off the list." Because of the poverty of his family and natural and man-made disasters, he left his hometown with the people in the town and wandered around. Gradually, I became a beggar, and if it wasn't for the girl's question, I almost forgot that I was still a showman. Wang Shuqiu couldn't help but sigh for this talented beggar. Now that even Xiucai has become a beggar, imagine how difficult the life of the majority of the people is. Is the world of the Ming Dynasty so dire and dire?

The sound of horses' hooves interrupted Wang Shuqiu's thoughts. Tong Liwei jumped down from his horse and said, "Shuqiu, I'm back!" Wang Shuqiu asked, "Have you changed?" Tong Liwei patted the big burden in his hand and said with a smile: "It's all here." Wang Shuqiu said: "Old man, quickly call everyone to come and get the money." ”

As soon as the old Xiucai heard that there was money, he shouted and shouted, and suddenly surrounded a large group of people. Tong Liwei said: "Don't worry, everyone, everyone has a share." "Those beggars are scrambling, how can there be order. The beggars who got the money immediately went to buy something to eat, and those who didn't get the money were so anxious that they stomped their feet. The old and the young and the frail can't squeeze in at all.

Wang Shuqiu first took the silver and copper plates to distribute to the beggars who couldn't squeeze in. Soon, the money was distributed, and a few beggars were still not distributed, so anxious that they cried. Tong Liwei said: "You wait for a while." He caught a glimpse of a seller selling baked cakes not far away, and hurriedly rushed to buy the remaining dozen or so baked cakes, and then the beggars ate happily.

Looking at the group of beggars eating and drinking, Wang Shuqiu felt a little relieved. Tong Liwei said: "Shuqiu, let's go!" Wang Shuqiu said: "Brother Tong, as long as there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely help these poor people." Tong Liwei said: "Shuqiu, Brother Tong promised you." As long as I make you happy, I will do it even if I give relief to all the beggars in the world. Wang Shuqiu said with tears: "Thank you!" ”

Walking on the street, Tong Liwei said: "Shuqiu, why are you so willing to help such a beggar?" Wang Shuqiu looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and said: "It's a long way away, I just hope that my heart will be at peace if I do this." Tong Liwei didn't know the essentials, so he had to divert the topic and said, "Shuqiu, where do you want to go after worshipping?" ”

Wang Shuqiu tilted her head and said, "Brother Tong, aren't you going to the ends of the earth?" Tong Liwei was stunned, and then said: "The end of the world!" I'm talking about playing. After a pause, he said: "Since Shuqiu is going, Brother Tong will definitely accompany him, not to mention the ends of the earth, even if he goes to the moon, he will never frown." Wang Shuqiu smiled: "Don't lie." But how can we go to heaven? ”

Tong Liwei said: "If you have to fly to the moon, you can only go to the sky like Shuqiu." Wang Shuqiu smiled and asked, "Why?" Tong Liwei said: "Shuqiu has the appearance of Chang'e······" Wang Shuqiu interrupted him and said, "Don't say it, I'd rather stay with Brother Tong than go to the moon alone." Tong Liwei's heart was hot, he held Wang Shuqiu tightly and smiled happily at her.

A servant came to him, and when he saw Tong Liwei, he bowed down and said, "I don't know if you are Uncle Tong?" When Tong Liwei saw it, he didn't know the person in front of him, and said, "It's down there." I don't know what? The servant said, "The little one is ordered by our master to send an invitation to Uncle Tong." Tong Liwei didn't accept the invitation and said, "Who is your master?" The servant said, "Our old man's name is Jiao Yuanbo." Tong Liwei said: "Is it Master Jiao, the largest salt merchant in Kaifeng?" The servant said, "Exactly!" ”

Tong Liwei thought to himself: He has never had anything to do with Jiao Yuanbo. Why did he come to invite me, could it be that there was something strange in it. The servant saw Tong Liwei's face full of doubts, so he said: "The master instructed, if it is really inconvenient for the Tong Ye to pass through the mansion, he will take the little one to take the Tong Ye to take away the dart silver and some other things that Ling Zun put in the Jiao Mansion." ”

When Tong Liwei heard this, he asked in surprise: "Have I ever held Jiao Ye's dart?" The servant said, "I don't know this little one." Only when Master Tong went would it be clear. Tong Liwei was still hesitating, and Wang Shuqiu persuaded him: "Brother Tong, it doesn't matter if you go and take a look." Tong Liwei hesitated: "You lead the way!" ”

Soon after, the servant led the two of them to Jiao's Mansion and entered through the side door. Coming to a side hall, the servant said, "Master Tong will wait a minute." Tong Liwei looked around, the hall was not big, but the cloth was quite elegant. There is no entrance or exit other than the entrance.

There was the sound of boots clattering outside the door, and I saw a man from fifty miles away enter. As soon as the man met, he arched his hand and said, "Brother Tong, I've kept you waiting for a long time." Tong Liwei hugged his fists and said: "Master Jiao! Jiao Yuanbo smiled: "Who is this little lady?" Tong Liwei said: "In the clumsy thorn." Jiao Yuanbo said: "It turned out to be Mrs. Sister-in-law." Wang Shuqiu said with a smile. Jiao Yuanbo said: "Two of you sit!" ”

Tong Liwei and Wang Shuqiu sat down, and someone was already serving tea. Jiao Yuanbo said: "Inviting Brother Tong to come today is just to reminisce about the past. The old man and Ling Zun have been friends for many years. Later, they did their own things and rarely interacted with each other. It's reasonable that Brother Tong doesn't know. Tong Liwei said: "I can't imagine that Master Jiao and his father are world friends, and if there is a lack of courtesy, I hope to look at Haihan." Jiao Yuanbo smiled: "Where! It's been many years. He sighed again: "I didn't expect Ling Zun to go before me, it's regrettable." Tong Liwei couldn't help but feel sad and said: "In his later life, he often felt heartache and washed his face with tears. Wang Shuqiu gently patted the back of his hand to show comfort.

Jiao Yuanbo said: "Someone! And behold, a servant brought a plate with silver and a package. Jiao Yuanbo said: "This is what Dart Yin and Ling Zun left in the old man's mansion back then. It was originally returned to Ling Zun, but Ling Zun passed away suddenly, and you were wandering around, and it was not easy for people to find you. Please accept it. ”

Tong Liwei took the silver and the package. Jiao Yuanbo said: "The package is just some old things from Ling Zun's lifetime, open it and take a look." Tong Liwei opened the package, and it turned out to be a long box. He hesitated, and when he saw that Wang Shuqiu had stretched his neck to see what was inside, he smiled, pressed the bracket, and a puff of white smoke rushed in.

He yelled, "Oh no! I didn't feel any strength in my body, and then I saw that Wang Shuqiu next to me was already lying softly on the chair, looking at him with a pair of confused and frightened eyes. Tong Liwei secretly complained: fell for the other party's plan. Always be cautious, and you can't escape the trap set by the enemy after all. Jiao Yuanbo let out a long laugh, slowly stood up, and said, "Now look where you are still running." He walked up to Wang Shuqiu and pinched Yupang, looking like an obscene insect.

"Stop!" Tong Liwei shouted as hard as he could, but it was less than one-tenth of the usual. Wang Shuqiu, don't say anything, it's extremely difficult to say a word. Tong Liwei said: "The surname is Jiao, you and I have no grudges and no hatred, why did you poison you?" Jiao Yuanbo said: "I have nothing to do with you. However, if you have offended others, I am also entrusted by others. Tong Liwei groaned: "You called Shi Zhenghang out." ”

There was a burst of laughter, and I saw a few people coming, and the front one was Shi Zhenghang. As soon as he entered the gate, he went straight to Wang Shuqiu's side, hugged him, and screamed in his heart. "Let go, let go!" Tong Liwei screamed. Shi Zhenghang put down Wang Shuqiu, slapped Tong Liwei in the face, and said: "Raised by Gou Niang, Lao Tzu is merry and happy, you are not interested, you snatched Lao Tzu's baby away, and it was many days to rob it." You are a crumb, sleeping with incense, which makes Lao Tzu sleepless. ”

Tong Liwei said: "You and I share the sky, I can't wait to pick your skin and eat your meat." Shi Zhenghang sneered: "It's up to you!" It used to be to avoid you and make you interesting. I don't know what to do, and what's even more hateful is to rob me of my beauty. It's worse than killing me, do you want to eat meat? Okay, I'll pick your skin today and feed the dog with your meat. Tong Liwei said: "There is a kind of painful and quick end." Such a despicable and filthy act, I will not let you go as a ghost. ”

Shi Zhenghang waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and dispose of it, I'm not in the mood to look at him." Several of his subordinates carried Tong Liwei out on all fours. Wang Shuqiu said vigorously: "Don't, don't!" Tears welled up in her eyes. When Tong Liwei was carried out, his eyes kept looking at Wang Shuqiu. The two looked at each other, and the feeling of attachment and despair was poignant.

Shi Zhenghang came up with a smile, sniffed Wang Shuqiu's face, and said, "Baby, you are so fragrant!" He pulled her hair back together as if he was going to eat her. Wang Shuqiu wanted to avoid his lightness, but there was no place in his body to exert his strength, only to let others be light, and tears flowed more. Shi Zhenghang wiped her tears and said, "Don't cry, beauty." I'll treat you well. Soon you'll feel how good I am. ”

Jiao Yuanbo smiled: "Son, do you want to spend the night with her here or go back to your house." Shi Zhenghang said: "Of course, I went back to my home and enjoyed it slowly." Jiao Yuanbo said: "The prince will really enjoy it." Shi Zhenghang patted Jiao Yuanbo on the shoulder and said, "You did a good job, not only to get rid of a thorn in my eye, but also to recapture the beauty." Your business is on me. Jiao Yuanbo's bones seemed to be much lighter, and he said with a smile: "I am grateful." In the future, the prince only needs to instruct, and he will go to the soup and fire in the next place. ”

There was a scream outside, it was Tong Liwei's howl. Wang Shuqiu's head "buzzed", and her beloved big brother Tong was being slaughtered. Tong Liwei screamed for a while, which made Wang Shuqiu palpitate, his eyes turned black, and he fainted. Shi Zhenghang frowned and said, "What are you howling, it scared my baby." Come on, knock down and go home. ”

Wang Shuqiu was carried into a sedan chair. Shi Zhenghang led his subordinates back home with a high spirit. I don't know how long later, Wang Shuqiu woke up slowly, and suddenly found that she was lying on a very soft and fragrant big bed, and she didn't know when she had changed into a set of cicada weaving, and her limbs had regained their strength.

Wang Shuqiu sat up and saw Shi Zhenghang's eyes swirling up and down her body. Those blazing eyes were like hungry wolves spotting their prey. Wang Shuqiu curled up in a ball, trembling like a little sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Shi Zhenghang smiled and said, "Beauty, don't be afraid. I'll be gentle. Wang Shuqiu said: "Don't come here." Shi Zhenghang moved forward and said, "Let my brother comfort you." ”

Wang Shuqiu had no way to retreat, Shi Zhenghang grabbed her wrist and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, you won't be afraid." Wang Shuqiu was furious and wanted to struggle, but her wrist was like an iron hoop. She went to beat Shi Zhenghang with her other hand. Shi Zhenghang grabbed it again and laughed: "Look at how you move." "My mouth has come over to kiss it. Wang Shuqiu dodged left and right, tired and sweaty, and his strength was greatly consumed.

Just then, shouts were heard outside. With a bang, the door was kicked open. One man barged in. Shi Zhenghang shouted: "Who dares to break Lao Tzu's dream." The man said in a low voice, "Dog thief, let her go!" Shi Zhenghang shouted wildly: "Who are you, dare to be wild here, live impatiently!" The man said word by word: "Miyamoto Musashi!" ”
