After receiving the farewell, Zhao Huai quickly went out.

Although I spent three days and three nights in the basement for a long time, I felt that the past was still very fast.

During the retreat, I was not aware of the passage of time, and I was still a little uncomfortable when I saw the bright sun.

It was the afternoon, and the neighborhood vendors were gathered, and all kinds of caravans were flowing, and pedestrians leading horses were often seen on the streets.

There were basically no monks on the street, mostly literati with fans, and occasionally two knights walking with swords.

"Believe in the crow fairy, keep the wind and rain smooth, and the disease will not invade!"

"You can enter bliss, you can get rich!"

At this time, there was a team of people wearing black robes, shouting loudly, beating gongs and drums, and it was not magnificent.

Their clothes were embroidered with jackdaws, and they looked like some kind of sect.

Zhao Huai glanced at it, raised his eyebrows and said, "Believe in the Crow Immortal? What kind of organization is this. ”

Then he looked away and ignored it.

He looked at it as he walked, holding the list of names, and read slowly: "Three taels of wine koji... Madame, is this going to make wine? ”

"In addition, there are green crane porcelain incense burners, silver silk embroidered lotus purses, jade bean cakes..."

"In that case, let's go buy koji first."

Zhao Huai turned into a bluestone alley, and occasionally saw a drunk man who was drunk, his face was red, and he walked by in a crooked manner.

When I walked to the end of the alley, a shop appeared in front of me.

The yellowed wine banner is hung with the word 'Sun', the shop is not big, there are five square tables inside, and there are more than a dozen wine jars inside.

The liquor at this liquor shop is as well-known as the big smoke, and it is a must-have drink for some drinkers before dinner.

Because of his fame, when Zhao Huai came, there were guests at the five tables, looking at the clothes and dresses, all of them were embroidered jade belts in Shu, all of them were the gentry in Jinzhou City.

Zhao Huai didn't care about them either, and shouted directly: "Old Sun, come to a pot of free brew." ”

"Great! Da Zhuang, serve wine to Shopkeeper Zhao! ”

The owner of the liquor shop is a 50-year-old uncle, and his craft at making wine is really good, and the wine here is often bought out.

He and Zhao Huai are also acquaintances, Zhao Huai basically comes to this house every time he buys wine, and occasionally chats with the boss.

When Lao Sun saw Zhao Huai, he recognized him at a glance, and then smiled at Zhao Huai and said:

"Good afternoon, Shopkeeper Zhao! But I haven't been here for a few days. ”

"Well, I can't help it, I've been busy lately."

Zhao Huai replied softly, looked at the body of the wine tank, and asked:

"Lao Sun, you have koji here, my family wants to make wine, they need three taels of koji, and the price is easy to say."

"Naturally."

Lao Sun entered the shop with a smile in his eyes, and quickly took a small bag of wine koji and handed it to Zhao Huai.

"How much?"

Lao Sun faked a suspicion: "Eh, it's all so ripe, it's just a little koji, just send it to the shopkeeper." ”

"Thank you then."

Zhao Huai was also not polite, and put away the koji.

"Go, go, go! Where are the victims, stay away from me! ”

"Get out of here, it's really bad luck!"

While the two were negotiating, there was a curse from the table next to them.

Zhao Huai's gaze shifted.

"My lord, okay, give me some copper, my child has been hungry for a few days."

I saw a female beggar with a muddy face, hunched over, facing the drinkers at the wine table, her eyes pleading.

Holding a broken porcelain bowl in his hand, his face was sallow, and his thin skin and bones came out, and he was miserable when he looked at it.

In her other hand, she was holding a little girl who was no more than eight years old, the girl's face was dirty, but her eyes were bright and clear.

"I told you to get out! Didn't you hear that! ”

"Boss! Pipe! ”

The female beggar stood in front of a round-headed and round-headed drinker, but the drinker covered her nose impatiently and scolded, as if she couldn't stand the smell of the other party.

"Guest, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Lao Sun Fu smiled and stepped forward to apologize, and took the mother and daughter beggar aside.

Then he took out a handful of copper coins from his sleeve, put them in the bowl of the female beggar, and sighed:

"Take it."

"Thank you... Thank you! ”

The female beggar couldn't raise her head after being scolded just now, and now she shrank her head tremblingly, choked up and thanked her, and pulled the little girl away.

Zhao Huai glanced at the drinker, frowned, and had some doubts in his heart.

I couldn't help but turn my head to Lao Sun and asked:

"It's been a long time since there have been displaced people in Jinzhou, what's going on?"

Lao Sun said helplessly: "This year's drought, many farmers in the outer city have no harvest, and many people are hungry, all of them are hard-working, there is no way." ”

"Didn't the government take care of it?" Zhao Huai frowned.

Lao Sun stared around and whispered: "The government can't control it, listen to my cousin who is an official, all the grain stored in previous years has been used for military salaries." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Huai's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Childe, your wine is ready."

The apprentice in the shop looked at the face student, it should be a newcomer, he looked honest, and handed the wine to Zhao Huai with both hands.

"Gone."

Zhao Huai dropped a piece of silver and left directly.

"Childe gave too much!"

The apprentice hurriedly shouted.

"I've rewarded you."

...

Zhao Huai carried wine, passed by the alleys and alleys, and vaguely heard a roar.

"That's it! How many meals is enough?! ”

"What a rubbish! That's it for half a day! ”

Ever since he broke through to Zhuji, his mental power was extremely sharp, and even from a long distance, he could hear the sound.

As you move forward, the sound gets closer and closer.

In front of him was a male beggar with a disheveled head, dressed in shabby hexagrams, barefoot, pointing at a mother and daughter and scolding.

This mother and daughter are the female beggars and little girls in front of Zhao Huai.

"Don't hurry up and ask for it again! Otherwise, don't eat at night! ”

The male beggar grabbed a handful of copper in his hand and said with a fierce face.

The female beggar could only protect the little girl's head, bowed her head, and remained silent.

"Still stunned, aren't you?"

When the male beggar saw that the other party was still not moving, he stretched out his hand and was about to slap her.

But as soon as he raised his hand, he found that he couldn't move his hand suddenly.

I felt like I was being pulled by something.

When I looked back, it was a very handsome young man.

"Get out."

Zhao Huai's eyes were indifferent and said lightly.

With a slight pull of his hand, he threw the male beggar to the ground.

The male beggar's face flashed with fear, and he did not dare to fight back, so he got up, smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and ran away without looking back.

Zhao Huai picked up the copper plate on the ground, took another piece of broken silver from his waist, and handed it to the female beggar.

"Take it, let's go."

"Thank you, Childe..."

The female beggar choked up, tears flowed out, and did not linger, pulling the little girl out of the alley quickly.

As soon as Zhao Huai turned around, he vaguely saw that in the shadow alley in the distance, there were fallen beggars, cowering in the corner, motionless, and they didn't know if they were dead or not.

There are also some beggars who are staring in the direction of the mother and daughter, their eyes are shining.

It's just that when they saw Zhao Huai's gaze, they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to take a second look.

Zhao Huai is dressed in a martial robe, tall and bright, since he broke through the foundation, he has an extra momentum on his body, and he must not be provoked when he looks at it.

The corner of the alley, bleak and clear, the cold and silent atmosphere is not very comfortable.

From time to time, the barking of dogs in the yards of large families can be heard in the distance.

"What a heyday this is."

Zhao Huai shook his head and turned to leave.

It wasn't long before he left.

The sound of gongs and drums came from the side of the street, and then entered the alley.

"Believe in the crow fairy, keep the wind and rain smooth, and the disease will not invade!"

"If you join my Raven Sect, you can receive a bucket of rice, and the Crow Immortal will bless you, so you can enjoy bliss after death, and you can enter wealth in the next life!"

Devout believers walked through the alleys, shouting from mouth to mouth.

"Is there really rice?"

A yellow-skinned beggar crawled out and said with a look of hope.

"Naturally, it's true, joining the Raven Sect, the rice tube is enough."

The believer at the head smiled slightly and said confidently.

...
