Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Wandering Boy
Zheng Shi took out two jars of wine, patted open the sealing mud, and handed them to Zheng Tingchang and Ye Mo respectively.
Zheng Tingchang took the wine jar, smelled it, took a long sip, and praised: "Good wine, this is a good "Du Xiangchun", it is not common on weekdays, that is, Cao Xiangzheng is not very rare, I can send it to you today, it seems that Cao Xiangzheng has high hopes for you, and treats you well." ”
Ye Mo also took a big sip, then gave it to Zheng She, and said: "Actually, although Pavilion Chief Zheng and I have known each other for a short time, the kid always has a feeling of hating each other, just like with Zheng She, but when I see each other, I feel that the feeling of closeness arises spontaneously, which may be a kind of innate honesty and integrity." ”
The cold wind blew, and a cold moon hung high in the air, imprinted in the river, and was torn to pieces.
"The matter between you and the Shi family's baby is now almost known all over the city, you are not small, even the daughter of the draft dare to covet it, now I am afraid that the royal family will be angry, otherwise in the name of your immortal, why don't you see the decree for a long time." Zheng Ting let out a long sigh.
"Maybe it's not the right time?" Ye Mo smiled faintly.
"It also makes sense, with your wisdom, you must not do such a thing, and since you have done it, you must have your thoughts." After a change of topic, he asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”
"There's a splash of wealth waiting for you, do you have the guts to get it?"
"Where does wealth come from?"
"Outcasts."
"Outcasts?" Zheng Tingchang was stunned, his eyes changed, his face showed a mocking look, and he said disdainfully: "My king's policy for the homeless people is also lenient, and the homeless people also like to make a living in the Yue country, although some common people do disdainful things to the homeless people, but if you also want to do this, it will inevitably make Zheng look down on you and disdain to be with you." ”
Ye Mo was a little annoyed, thinking in his heart that it was very difficult to talk to the ancients, and he was obviously kind, so he pressed a villain's evil hat.
But it's right to think about it the other way, who can give you so much wealth for no reason? In the face of the unknown, who dares to believe in its authenticity? Let's not talk about the ancients, even the modern people who later generations called themselves, don't think the same thing? And there are not a few people who have this in mind.
I remember that when I went to the countryside to help the poor in my previous life, the first thing I did was to repair the road, there was a small shop opened by the family, which was also the only store in the village, and it happened to be in the position where the road needed to be repaired, so I went to communicate with him, wanting him to change to a better location, and set up a bigger supermarket for him.
But the owner of this household, he didn't do anything, he couldn't say anything, so he had to make a short detour and set up a supermarket for another family.
When the supermarket was done, when they saw the novel supermarket, the family stopped doing it again, and went to sue while crying, so angry that Ye Mo wanted to quit at that time and returned to his original unit.
Ye Mo was angry when he thought of this, but is it useful? Still sulking on your own? It's your body that is angry, and if you're sick, isn't it your own sin?
Ye Mo sighed and said to Zheng Tingchang: "If I have this idea, don't say that you look down on me, even I look down on myself, I'm afraid that even the master will hate himself for teaching his skills in vain." ”
Obviously, Zheng Tingchang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Mo continued: "The reason why Cao Xiangzheng gritted his teeth and agreed to the unreasonable requirements of the younger generation is nothing more than the ability of the little boy to turn stones into gold, now the refined iron refining skills are becoming more and more mature, and the boy also needs to start with the kiln workshop, the dry period of the river is coming, the construction of the stone bridge is imminent, these all need manpower, and they have to be sincere people who have suffered hard labor, think about it, where to find such a servitude?" ”
Zheng Tingchang's eyes lit up and asked, "Do you want to use the homeless people?" ”
Ye Mo smiled indifferently and said: "Exactly, the benefits of these homeless people are not limited to this, all the hardships and hardships in the later period are completed by the homeless people, and there is no need to pay, just food and clothing, if it is given to their residence, or their families go together, their hearts will be more at ease." ”
Pavilion Chief Zheng hurriedly asked, "Can you still burn the kiln?" Out of the utensils? ”
Ye Mo replied: "I don't dare to make sure of it, but I can give it a try." ”
Zheng Tingchang smiled: "If this is the case, it can be regarded as a splash of wealth, but what about my wealth?" ”
Ye Mo said with a smile: "The elders only need to take care of the homeless people, and they can get half of the benefits." ”
"So easy?"
"It's so easy."
"Okay, understood, not only can't the homeless people be arrested casually, but the homeless people can't be chaotic in the later stage, I'm afraid there is no more suitable thing than me for these things."
Ye Mo raised his thumb and said, "Give you a thumbs up." ”
Pavilion Chief Zheng was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Ye Mo replied lazily: "That's what you mean right." ”
In fact, there is one of the most important reasons, that is, the issue of security, of course, if this problem is explained clearly to this very righteous official, then his name as a despicable villain will be confirmed.
In the future generations, there will be more despicable villains who ignore potential safety hazards, and they will be more noble than them.
After all, a homeless person is a homeless person, and although there may be a small number of homeless people in it, most of them are homeless people, so when I think about it, my heart is much calmer.
......
As soon as the next day dawned, Ye Mo drove away with the donkey cart.
He was very anxious, very worried about the condition of the incomprehensible child, if the condition worsened, it would be difficult to treat, and the child would be the life of their homeless people.
If you can save the incomprehensible child, then there will be a kind of trust between yourself and the homeless, and this trust is the key to getting the homeless people out of the mountains and forests for their own use.
Don't be sloppy.
When Ye Mo arrived at the meeting place, he thought that he had come early, but he didn't think that as soon as his donkey cart stopped, he walked out with a few homeless people behind him.
Today they were finally dressed in a thin linen robe, shabby and unshapely, several of which were simply connected together with twine, with animal skins on the outside, and some of them had gold seals on their faces, and one of them, the youngest, about fourteen or fifteen years old, was trembling with a wooden fork.
In an instant, Ye Mo actually felt a little guilty, and this feeling really scared Ye Mo.
"Little brother, I didn't expect you to come so early, thank you."
"Has the child ever been better?"
"No, I didn't." Puzzled, his face darkened visibly.
The effect of traditional Chinese medicine is slow, the medicine I drank last night, less than four hours, it is strange that it can be effective, and, listening to the incomprehensible meaning, I have been sick for many days, and I still cough, which is obviously a symptom of some lung disease.
It's not okay to take medicine like this, it's better to let the doctor see, it doesn't matter if there are lung disease symptoms, let them go to Langzhong by themselves, I'm afraid it's impossible, if you don't get it right, you will lose your life, it's better to take the child to the city by yourself.
If the child's illness is really cured, the relationship with the incomprehensible will be even closer.
So Ye Mo asked, "Is the child there?" ”
Fei Xue nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes." When he turned around and whistled, he saw a sturdy and agile man, holding the child in his arms, and he arrived at Ye Mo's side in a few steps.
What a kung fu, Ye Mo asked, "This is ......?"
Fei replied: "My own brother, Fei Guan." ”
Ye Mo nodded, took the child, and saw that the child's eyes were closed, his breathing was short, there was a faint noise, and he coughed from time to time, it seemed that the symptoms of lung disease were closer.
Without antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, this disease will kill a child, Ye Mo touched his forehead with the back of his hand, and found that it was so hot that he didn't feel anxious.
Don't talk nonsense with Fei Bao, and drive the donkey cart all the way, the donkey seems to have understood human nature today, and seems to know that Ye Mo is in a hurry, and the four legs are in a hurry, although the bumps are more severe, but compared to the child's illness, it is nothing.
Entered the city and went straight to the pharmacy in the bazaar.
Stopped the donkey cart, didn't care about tying the reins, and went into the pharmacy with the child in his arms, just in time to see the old shopkeeper looking at the account book, and stepped forward and said: "Uncle is bothered, my little brother has been sick for several days, has not been good, and has taken a lot of medicine, please take a look." ”
The old shopkeeper looked up at Ye Mo and couldn't help asking, "Isn't this yesterday's Xiao Langjun?" ”
Ye Mo nodded, his eyes showing anxiety.
The old shopkeeper is still unhurried and unhurried, perhaps the old shopkeeper is used to seeing birth, old age, sickness and death, and he is used to this kind of pediatric disease, and he knows that it is useless to be in a hurry, and he has to treat the symptoms slowly.
Ye Mo smiled bitterly and said: "It's not a secret, the kid still has important things to handle, and he wants to put the little brother here with the old man, I don't know if the old man can give it convenient?" As he spoke, he took out his right hand and took out a small half-bag of knife coins from his bosom and placed them on the counter.
The old shopkeeper smiled slightly, did not move the money bag on the counter, and said: "It is my duty to save people's lives, since Xiao Langjun can trust the old man, then put it down, Xiao Langjun can go with peace of mind." ”
Alas, there are still a lot of good people, Ye Mo sighed secretly, and thanked the old shopkeeper for his kindness, and left the pharmacy.
Ye Mo sighed and drove around the city with a donkey cart.
As a result, there was a young man in Zhuji County who was sitting in a donkey cart, dressed in clean linen clothes, and walked around the city with an elegant and proud face.
This young man is very strange, obviously he is a child of a poor family, but it is not like a poor family can be born and raised, and what is even more strange is that this young man went to the three most famous pharmacies in the county, just to ask about the medicinal materials of "Xianghua".
In the list of medicinal materials, how can there be a flavor of fragrant tree? Isn't it just a fruit food for daily consumption, how can it be a medicinal herb?
What a strange boy.
The pharmacy is finished, and the rice shop is gone, and the four rice shops in the county, one by one, go to the four rice shops, the largest "Shengjia rice shop" in the north of the city, and don't go, buy the mushroom, and change the old mushroom, and it's almost moldy, God, the moldy mushroom, eat it to death, this young man, lost his mind and went crazy?
Of course, Ye Mo didn't lose his mind, just this bit of broken silver, how much rice can he buy? It's almost moldy, it's not moldy yet, and it's old rice, isn't it to buy more?
It's incomprehensible that if they can eat more, they will be able to endure one more day this winter, after all, there is still a child, the children of the homeless, in the winter, those who can survive, few are pitiful.
I originally thought that if I could make such a big rice shop, the business must be honest, and I would have thought that it would be a black shop, and I don't know how many people have been harmed.
