Now that the weather has begun to heat up, the charcoal business has to be suspended.

Beno had planned to stock up on some medicine for the coming year, but the letter dispelled him.

He went out early in the morning.

After Gu Rao washed up, she came to the main hall and didn't see Beiye, so she asked the next person.

"Why didn't you see Xianggong?"

Xiao Liu replied, "The master went out early in the morning. ”

Gu Rao asked, "Eat and then go out?" ”

Xiao Liu shook his head.

"The master got up too early, and the kitchen breakfast is not ready yet."

Gu Rao frowned, a little worried that Beiye would be reluctant to spend money to buy breakfast outside.

"Did he say when he would come back?"

Xiaoliu said with a smile, "The master knew that Madame was going to ask, so he told me in advance, and if you asked, he said that he would come back at noon." ”

Gu Rao, "...... Did he say where he had gone, what had he done? ”

Xiao Liu shook his head.

"Nope."

Gu Rao was a little disappointed, eating breakfast alone was a little tasteless.

After breakfast, I didn't know what to do.

I can't do anything.

Noon.

Xiao Liu brought the food to the table and persuaded, "Madam, you can eat first, and when the master comes back, just shout to the kitchen to make one." ”

Gu Rao thought of the letter that was quietly delivered to her bedroom last night, and she felt a little uneasy.

Didn't he say he'd be back at noon?

It's already noon!

Why haven't you come back yet?

Something can't happen, right?

Thinking of You Xi's fearlessness and his behavior of sending a letter to force Beiye to make a decision, Gu Rao was suddenly a little worried that he would snatch Beiye away directly.

I couldn't sit still.

"I'll go out, take lunch down first, and then warm it up when we come over."

After speaking, without waiting for Xiao Liu's reaction, he strode out.

-

There are several streets in Wild Boar Town, and Gu Rao searched for them on both sides of the river, but she didn't find any trace of other fields, and her heart became more and more panicked.

Instead of finding Besano, she meets someone she doesn't expect.

- Don't be talented.

At this time, Bei Chengcai was embarrassed and was being punched and kicked by several thugs.

A group of people gathered around to watch.

"In broad daylight, it's not good to beat up a weak scholar like this?"

"Those thugs are fat and strong, let's be quiet, the provincial ones have been beaten together."

"That scholar looks a little familiar, as if he has seen ...... somewhere"

……

After the leader beat Bei Chengcai, he put down his cruel words and said, "I'll give you three more days, and if you don't pay back the one hundred taels of silver you owe after three days, I'll break your dog's legs!" ”

Only then did the people around know that this person was a person who was kicked out of Qiushui Academy, and was beaten by a group of people, and he was not innocent, but deserved, who made him owe someone else a hundred taels of silver from the gambling house?

Bei Chengcai hugged the thug's leg and prayed regardless of the image, "Big brother, that's a hundred taels of silver, how can I, an ordinary person, take out a hundred taels of silver in three days!" ”

"You give me another year of grace, no, half a year, as long as it takes half a year, I will definitely return all the one hundred taels of silver!"

The thug kicked Bei Chengcai away, staring at him with gloomy eyes.

"You can't get it out in three days, can you?"

"Okay, I'll break your leg now!"

As he spoke, he wanted his subordinates to attack Bei Chengcai.

Don't be so frightened that you hold your head in your hands.

"Stop fighting! Don't fight, I'll pay it back, I'll pay it back in three days! ”

Only then did the thug put down his hand and snorted heavily at Bei Chengcai.

"If you don't have any money, you dare to gamble, I think you're too long!"

"After three days, I will personally come to collect the money, you are ready."

turned around and walked two steps, then turned back to Bei Chengcai and said with a smile, "Don't try to escape, you can't escape." There was no smile in his eyes, only a disregard and cruelty for life.

Bei Chengcai was already scared to pee, and the hem of his clothes was obviously wet with water stains.

The people around me are getting more energetic.

"I really didn't expect that a scholar would be like this, it's not a shame!"

"You're so daring, I'm scared to pee!"

At this moment, Li Mo'er, who was covered in scars and carrying a child under the age of a month, hurried over.

She ran to Bei Chengcai's side and wanted to help him up, but as soon as her hand touched Bei Chengcai's arm, he threw him away.

"Get out of here!"

"You're coming to see my jokes too?"

Li Mo'er burst into tears.

"Xianggong, didn't you promise me not to gamble?"

"Why do you owe so much money?"

"One hundred taels of silver, when will I be able to pay it ......back?"

Bei Chengcai glared at her with angry eyes.

"If you hadn't insisted on marrying me, would I have been so poor? There were so many women from rich families who wanted to marry me, but I had to marry you! ”

Li Mo'er was stunned for a while, her expression changed from injury to numbness.

After sharing a bed and getting along day and night for so long, it was enough for her to see a person clearly.

However, when a woman marries her husband, everything is too late, and she can only live with him in this life.

She doesn't even have her only brother, if she mistakes her husband again, how can a woman live with a child under the age of a month?

She couldn't think of such a day, and she was reluctant to leave Don Chengcai.

Regardless of whether he uses her or not, whether he has a trace of sincerity or not, they have become husband and wife, and they are destined to be tied together for the rest of their lives.

suppressed the disappointment in his heart, cheered up again, and stretched out his hands to help him up again.

"Xianggong, there are too many people here, let's talk about what we have to say when we go back, and when we pay back the money, we will discuss it slowly."

"There's always a way."

Don't be a talented face with a gray face, and scratch his head irritably with both hands.

"What's the solution?"

"There are only three days, where can I go to collect a hundred taels of silver in these three days?"

"You can't get that much money if you sell me!"

Sold ......

Bei Chengcai suddenly paid attention to it in his heart, looked at his wife and the child behind his wife, and his eyes rekindled hope.

If he hadn't paid the hundred taels of silver, those men would have broken his legs.

He had two fingers cut off and couldn't afford to lose his legs again!

"You're right, there will always be a way, let's go back first."

He realized in hindsight that he had lost the person he had lost for so long, and when he thought that so many people were watching his jokes, his face turned blue and his pace gradually accelerated.

Li Mo'er hurriedly chased after him.

After the couple left, Gu Rao continued to look for someone.

She deliberately hid behind the crowd just now, and was not discovered by other people.

If he is seen by another person, he is likely to be entangled by him again.

Let a sleeping dog lie.

-

Gu Rao didn't find Beiye, but was found by Beiye.

Beno said, "I'm sorry, I left in a hurry in the morning and didn't tell you where to go." ”

Gu Rao, "...... It's me who made too much fuss. ”

Beno raised his hand and touched her head.

"I know what you're worried about."

"No matter what, I won't leave you alone."

Gu Rao's heart calmed down a little, and then asked, "What did you do in the morning?" ”

"Have you had breakfast?"

"Didn't you eat lunch too?"
