Chapter 099: The Grace of a Meal (10,000 words updated to)
I just walked out of the street, and I haven't gotten far yet.
Li Changqing saw a bunch of people gathered in the distance, and he didn't know what he was doing.
Noisy.
Li Changqing saw that there was a lively look, so he also walked up curiously, and walked through the crowd, but saw a guy from a bun shop across the street scolding.
"Don't you have to pay for what children eat?"
"Also, I have this drawer of buns on the ground for me, you just don't have any money? Let me tell you, if you don't give money today, you don't want to leave, come to me to eat the overlord meal, and you don't see whose business this is! ”
A few guys surrounded the two of them menacingly.
One of them was a thin man, he was actually wearing a leather jacket, and he was wearing something strange, and behind the man, a little girl was holding the man's waist, her face was a little frightened.
The man belonged to the kind of person who looked very ordinary, and there were some traces of vicissitudes on his face, and several men pressed his chest with rolling pins in their hands.
But he didn't hide.
"I can work to pay my debts." The man held back for a long time and said such a sentence.
"Workmanship?" A few people sneered: "Can I use you?" ”
"You don't talk nonsense, if you don't give money, you can leave the knife on your body, I think it's worth a little money." One of the fellows had a thief's eye, and saw that the man had a short knife at his waist, and that short knife had a beautiful blue scabbard, which was worth a lot of money, so he set his eyes on the knife.
"This won't work." The man resolutely refused.
"It's not so complicated to give money if you don't give a knife." Another guy said.
There are a lot of people around who are watching the excitement, and they are all eating melons, and Li Changqing also learned the general situation from the surrounding population.
It was the little girl behind the man who was too hungry and went to the bun shop to steal the buns to eat, but was discovered by the guys, and wanted to catch the little girl, but the little girl was in a hurry and accidentally detained a whole drawer of buns to the ground.
"I gave the money for the buns."
Knowing what happened, Li Changqing stepped forward, although he didn't know who these two people were, but seeing the man protecting his daughter so much, Li Changqing was also very touched.
Another father who is not easy to live.
It's just a basket of steamed buns, and since Li Changqing saw it, he decided to help.
"Painter Li?"
Seeing Li Changqing come out, the guys at the bun shop were a little surprised, Li Changqing actually cared about such a nosy?
When Li Changqing walked out, the man's gaze also fell on Li Changqing's body, and his expression seemed to be a little surprised.
Li Changqing didn't talk nonsense, and directly threw out a penny of silver to that guy.
The guy scrambled to catch it.
"Enough money for your buns, right? In addition, you can pack some more buns for the father and daughter. Li Changqing commanded.
"Good, good, enough enough."
It's enough for a penny of silver, and it's enough to buy ten steamed buns, and the guy's face is full of smiles.
"Thank you." The man didn't seem to be good at words, but he still managed to squeeze out these two words.
"Thank you, uncle." The little girl who had been hiding behind the man also showed half of her face, although her little face was a little dirty, but her eyes were very bright, but she was a little afraid of life.
"How old are you?"
Li Changqing squatted down with a smile and asked.
"Five." The girl whispered.
At this time, the guy came out with a bun wrapped in oiled paper and handed it to Li Changqing.
Li Changqing took the bun, handed it to the man and said, "Take it, the child is hungry, you shouldn't have eaten for a long time." ”
Looking at the hot bun handed over by Li Changqing, the man hesitated, but at this moment he felt that the little girl was holding his hand a little harder, obviously the girl's desire for the bun.
"Thank you." And he said that he only said two words.
"Eat." Pick up a bun from the oiled paper and hand it to the girl.
The little girl had already swallowed her saliva, and she didn't care about the dirty hands, so she took a big bite and ate it.
Gobbling it up looks like it's been a long time since it's been a meal.
When Li Changqing saw this scene, he also sighed lightly.
He reached out and touched the girl's head.
"Don't steal anymore, you know?" Li Changqing patiently taught: "Follow your father well, and the future will always be better." ”
The little girl nodded as if she didn't understand.
"I'll go first, and I'll see you later." Li Changqing glanced at the man and said.
The man didn't speak, just nodded to Li Changqing.
The girl was eating buns while watching Li Changqing's departing figure.
originally wanted to give the poor father and daughter a little silver, but after thinking about it, Li Changqing still gave up this idea.
The world is so big, there are too many such people, and they can't be saved.
To each his own life.
It's already okay to give a meal.
Walking around the street, Li Changqing didn't find any trace of Luo Laodao, and then found someone at the intersection to help write the letter on his behalf.
Li Changqing took out the letter he had written and asked the man to copy it again.
I went to the Cangyuan Dart Bureau again and sent it to Li Hengsheng in Daoshan Ancient Land in the form of an anonymous letter.
After doing these things, Li Changqing returned to Yan Mansion.
But when Li Changqing walked to the door of Yanfu, Li Changqing found that he saw the father and daughter here again.
"Is that you?" Li Changqing looked at the two of them in surprise, how could these two people be here.
"Is it because the buns are not enough?" Li Changqing couldn't help but ask.
"You're full, the buns are delicious, uncle, you're really a good person." The little girl looked at Li Changqing, her eyes full of innocence.
"I was looking for you."
The man spoke at this time.
"Yes...... Do you provide a place for our father and daughter to eat and live? The man pondered for a moment, then said, "I can kill for you." ”
Hearing this, Li Changqing almost suspected that he had heard it wrong.
Homicide?
But looking at the man in front of him so seriously, Li Changqing didn't feel like he was joking.
However, Li Changqing also understood that this man mainly wanted to find a place for his daughter to eat three meals a day, right?
Li Changqing can understand this mood.
He could see that this man was a resolute person, and he was afraid that he would not ask for help easily, but at this moment, there was a trace of begging hidden in his eyes.
"Kill and forget it."
Sighing at the world, Li Changqing shook his head.
Seeing Li Changqing shaking his head, the man's eyes also showed a hint of loneliness, and he glanced back at his daughter, as if he was apologizing to his daughter.
"I can eat only one meal a day, one steamed bun per meal, no, half a steamed bun is fine." The little girl said hurriedly.
She thought it was Li Changqing who disliked her for eating too much.
"I don't need you to kill people for me, so let's do it, it's fate to see each other, and your father and daughter will help me clean up the courtyard and repair the flowers and plants in the yard."
Although Li Changqing is not a bad holy father, he is really soft-hearted when he encounters this kind of father and daughter.
Is there a lack of people in the Yan Mansion to help him clean the yard?
Li Changqing couldn't bear to see such a young child wandering outside with his father, and he couldn't eat, Li Changqing thought of his son Li Hengsheng, he left home at the age of eleven or twelve, and wandered outside alone for a few years, what kind of life did he live.
So Li Changqing decided to take in the father and daughter.
As for whether this man is a bad guy or not?
Li Changqing wasn't worried at all.
Even if he has a bad intention, he has to have that ability, if there is really any abnormal movement, it will not be blamed for others to let Ah Fei eat it as a supper when the time comes.
"Thank you."
A smile finally appeared on the man's face.
"What's your name?" Li Changqing asked.
"Zhang Fuguang." The man looked down at the little head below, and then said, "This is my daughter Zhang Siyao." ”
"Come with me."
Li Changqing took the two into Yan's house, and then asked them to change their clothes and arrange to live in Li Changqing's courtyard.
The arranger put hot water and let Zhang Siyao take a good bath.
After washing cleanly, Zhang Siyao, the little girl, looked even more smart.
Like a delicate doll.
Seeing that his daughter was clean, even Zhang Fuguang's face showed a smile.
"It's better to be a daughter." Li Changqing also sighed, in his previous life, he also hoped to have a daughter, but later, although the two-child policy was opened, Li Changqing could not afford to raise it at that time.
It's too expensive to raise a child.
"Uncle, thank you, my father and I have come all the way, you are the best person for us." Zhang Siyao said sweetly.
"Thank you." Zhang Fuguang also said with his fists clenched.
"You just work hard here, clean the yard, repair the flowers and plants, and I will give you five dollars of silver every month."
"Yes." Zhang Fuguang still didn't talk much.
"By the way, where did you father and daughter come from, and how do I think you are still wearing a leather jacket?" Li Changqing was a little surprised.
"The Great Yuan Dynasty."
Zhang Fuguang said: "The Great Yuan Dynasty has cold weather all year round, so you need to wear leather jackets. ”
"Oh?"
Li Changqing raised his eyebrows, it turned out to be from the Great Yuan Dynasty.
It is not far from Daoji City, cross a river, climb over a high mountain to the territory of the Great Yuan Dynasty, Li Changqing has seen from the book before, the Great Yuan Dynasty is a real snow dynasty, cold all year round, comparable to Siberia, but this dynasty is very strong.
The people there are also very strong, and the soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and can fight in all kinds of harsh environments.
Today, he saw a real person from the Great Yuan Dynasty, and Li Changqing immediately became interested.
Then he took Zhang Fuguang to the courtyard and sat down, asked someone to bring a pot of tea, and chatted with Zhang Fuguang about the affairs of the Great Yuan Dynasty.
Zhang Fuguang didn't expect Li Changqing to be so interested in the affairs of the Great Yuan Dynasty, although he didn't talk much, but he also had to answer Li Changqing's questions.
Zhang Siyao saw that the adults were chatting, and she was playing by herself, looking at the fish in the pond in the yard, she was very curious, so she watched it for an afternoon.
Li Changqing also wants to learn more about it, and then see if he can find some business opportunities from there.
It's getting late.
Li Changqing asked people to send the rice to the yard, and deliberately asked people to make more, Li Changqing could see that those buns were actually eaten by Zhang Siyao before, and Zhang Fuguang didn't eat them at all.
I'm going to be hungry for a long time.
But this resolute man never said a word.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Zhang Siyao's saliva flowed, she was hungry and full along the way, where had she seen so many rich dishes.
"Come and sit down." Li Changqing greeted.
"Sir, I'll pick some greens for my daughter and eat them aside." Zhang Fuguang hurriedly said.
"I don't have so many rules here, I eat together at the table, and there are more people." Li Changqing shook his head: "And what kind of vegetables do you eat, you see that Si Yao is so thin, you must eat more meat in order to grow your body, Si Yao, don't you say?" ”
"Uh-huh." Zhang Siyao nodded hurriedly.
"Thank you, sir." Since Li Changqing said so, Zhang Fuguang also nodded.
The daughter is indeed growing her body.
"Fuguang, come and try this dish for me."
At this time, Li Changqing pushed a dish in front of Zhang Fuguang.
"Food tasting?" Zhang Fuguang looked at the plate of red dishes in front of him, the taste wafted in, very fragrant, and it made people's appetite move.
At the same time, Zhang Fuguang also smelled a very familiar smell from it.
It seems to be ...... Chili pepper?
"You try to see if it suits the tastes of the people of your Great Yuan Dynasty."
Li Changqing learned from Zhang Fuguang's mouth that the Great Yuan Dynasty was extremely cold, and people would also use chili peppers to make some dishes on weekdays, but there were very few types of dishes in the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the people there liked barbecue meat more, and it was convenient to eat.
A lot of meat supplements the fat to make them better resistant to the cold.
So Li Changqing wanted to see that this boiled pork slice did not meet the taste of the people of the Great Yuan Dynasty.
Some people died, but not completely......
