Just like the past morning, Xu Huan bought two steamed buns on the street and hurried towards the grocery store.

"It's over, oversleeping again." Xu Huan secretly screamed badly.

How many times have you overslept this month? Xu Huan himself is a little too late, is it the fifth or the sixth? I knew that I wouldn't be so confident to make that bet with my second uncle.

At the end of last month, Xu Huan, who happened to come earlier than Xu Zhongde, confidently accepted Xu Zhongde's bet, as long as 20 out of 30 days in this month can be earlier than the hawker who sells opposite the grocery store every day, Xu Huan can get Xu Zhongde's fifteen copper coins, otherwise Xu Huan will give Xu Zhongde fifteen copper coins.

However, Xu Huan didn't expect that the early rise was just an accident with a low probability of negligible, and in the first ten days of this month, he had already been later than the vendor several times.

Maybe the vendor slept late this time? Before starting to gamble, Xu Huan also went to inspect and found that the vendor usually came to set up a stall not early, doesn't this mean that that person has the potential to sleep lazily like himself? Thinking of this, Xu Huan's pace was a little faster.

It's a pity that what Xu Huan didn't know was that in order to win Xu Huan's fifteen copper coins, the second uncle Xu Zhongde had secretly used seven copper coins to buy off the vendor and let him come earlier, and what Xu Huan didn't know was that the vendor didn't like to sleep lazy, but was bothered by some trivial things at home every day and wasted a lot of time. Now that he encounters this steady profit, he can get the money by getting up earlier than usual, and he can see Xu Zhongde as if he was an idiot, so he agreed directly without hesitation.

Although Xu Huan knew that Xu Zhongde's morality was so low that it was worrying, he probably didn't expect him to be so unscrupulous in order to win him. If Xu Huan knew, I don't know how heartbroken he would be, angrily accusing Xu Zhongde of wasting money and scolding him for having no morality.

It's not too early to say that it's early, and the plan of the day lies in the morning, and the streets are full of busy figures. The shouting, discussion, laughter, and scolding were twisted together, although it had not yet reached the peak of the flow of people in a day, but the noisy sound had hit Xu Huan's ears one after another.

Xu Huan, who was a little irritable at first, stretched out a foot, maybe he was in a hurry, or maybe his mind was distracted, and he didn't see the leg on the ground that was stretched out intentionally or unintentionally, and his foot just reached it, and he almost tripped over. Xu Huan reacted in time and only stumbled a few times, avoiding the end of rolling on the ground.

Xu Huan turned around dissatisfied, saw the familiar brown cloak stained with mud, and the unkempt hair, regretted that he should have stepped on it just now, gritted his teeth and said, "This uncle, such a coincidence." ”

The man lazily pulled his hair away and glanced at Xu Huan, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you again." And one last time, I will say again, Lao Tzu is handsome and dashing, and he has just passed twenty-five this year. ”

Xu Huan smiled: "People come and go on this street, those who walk by, and those who lose, then I can naturally go." ”

The man pondered for a moment, why is this so familiar, as if he had heard it before?

Xu Huan saw that after he pulled his hair, his face turned white and blue, and there was no blood on his lips, and his original unhappiness turned into a curious concern, and asked, "Why is Uncle's face so bad today?" ”

The man rolled his eyes and said impatiently: "Master, my clothes are thin, and I sharpen my will in the autumn wind, so my face is naturally pale." ”

Xu Huan leaned in a little closer, and said suspiciously: "You are a little terrible white, why are you still sitting here?" ”

The man yawned: "Taking the sky as a pavement and the earth as a feast, this is a great pleasure for heaven and earth." ”

"Did you sleep here all night?"

"Or else?"

Could it be that he wandered to Yunyan Town? Or is the family bankrupt and homeless? Xu Huan thought to himself, since he was not a beggar, he could only come up with these answers in his mind.

Thinking of some past experiences, Xu Huan, who empathized, softened his tone again: "Uncle, I still have some money on me, if I don't dislike it, I'll lend you some." ”

The man was about to say something, when he suddenly frowned and narrowed his eyes. Because he was too close, Xu Huan obviously saw that the corners of his eyes kept twitching, and even the green tendons on his face were protruding.

Xu Huan swallowed his saliva and said a little nervously: "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" ”

The man opened his eyes, glanced at Xu Huan, shook his head, let his hair cover his face, and waved his hand tiredly: "Master is tired, what should you do, don't disturb my sweet dreams." ”

"But ......" Xu Huan stopped halfway through speaking, because the man had already folded his hands in front of his chest and leaned his head against the wall, looking at this posture, it seemed that no matter what Xu Huan said, he would not pay attention to Xu Huan.

Although Xu Huan didn't know why, he still held back the doubts in his stomach, and after taking a deep look at him, he withdrew his gaze.

That's when I remembered the fact that I was late.

Xu Huan sighed, glanced at the man uneasily, and then accelerated his pace again. After wasting so much time here, can you still make it in time?

As soon as Xu Huan walked on his front foot, a young man in a Taoist robe who was dizzy in Yunyan Town stood where he had just been.

Looking down at the beggar who was sitting on the ground and seemed to be sleeping, Li Xuankong gently wiped it on his waist and took out a silver ticket like a trick.

These days, he has seen countless beggars in Yunyan Town, which has given Li Xuankong a deeper understanding of how poor the material conditions here are. Although he wanted to give, he had a hard time giving and did not know how much money to give.

Although the money they carry is enough for a period of time, if they give more, it is not good for them to develop the habit of eating lazy, and if they give less, it will not make it difficult for them to even survive.

It was a headache, and after thinking about it for a long time at the hotel, I finally settled on a number that I thought was reasonable.

History is always surprisingly similar. For some kind of same purpose, two unrelated people tend to re-enact extremely similar actions.

Li Xuankong leaned down until he was as tall as the man, and took out the silver ticket worth fifty copper coins, but because he couldn't find the storage items, he had to gently stuff it under the man's leg.

The man who noticed the movement pulled his hair away, stretched out his head in front of Li Xuankong, almost stuck it, squinted his eyes and said angrily: "Does the young master look like a beggar?" ”

Li Xuankong was stunned, and the hand holding the silver ticket suddenly stopped.

The man, who was dissatisfied with being treated as a beggar many times, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Li Xuankong's dull eyes, and said strangely: "Why don't you speak." ”

Li Xuankong withdrew his hand and asked uncertainly, "You...... You're not a beggar? ”

"Why am I a beggar?"

Li Xuankong replied seriously: "Because it's very similar." ”

Wang Qian brushed his hair away, raised his eyebrows after revealing one eye, and asked, "Dao Chief is not from Yunyan Town, right?" ”

Li Xuankong replied honestly: "No." ”

"I see." The man laughed twice and said, "Dao Chief, this is what you don't understand." ”

"What do you know?" Monk Li Xuankong couldn't touch his head.

"Come on, come on, come closer." Li Xuankong beckoned and motioned for Li Xuankong to approach: "This is our Yunyan Town, there are dozens of taboos, I will only talk about a dozen common ones, you have to listen carefully......"

...

...

"Don't be discouraged, it's only the sixth time late." Seeing that Xu Huan was late, Xu Zhongde couldn't help but smile and patted Xu Huan's shoulder to show encouragement.

But Xu Zhongde has always been a set of things on the surface, seemingly pretending to be comforting, but in fact, he took the opportunity to remind Xu Huan that it was the sixth time, and Xu Zhongde had already calculated how to spend the fifteen copper coins, and half of the calculations were a pity to get the seven copper coins to the peddler, I don't know if there is any way to get them back? And Xu Huan gets up so late every day, isn't this a waste of my money? Xu Zhongde couldn't help but feel worried.

Xu Huan said expressionlessly: "Thank you so much Second Uncle." ”

"Yes, yes, after all, it's your elders." Xu Zhongde laughed really how obscenely and obscenely.

Xu Huan thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Second uncle, has anyone in Yunyan Town gone bankrupt recently?" ”

"With so many people going bankrupt in the world every day, who cares about that? What does this do, you ask? ”

"It's a long story, I met a ......"

Xu Huan told the story of meeting a man in detail.

"How come I've never met this person?" After listening to Xu Huan's story, Xu Zhongde said in surprise.

"Second uncle, you are not a person who can give charity, even if you meet it, you will miss it." Xu Huan thought of Xu Zhongde's usual style and gave up asking questions.

Xu Zhongde was suddenly unhappy: "Alms? That's called a loser! Where do I get all this spare money? ”

"By the way, Xu Huan, that bet was promised by you, but you can't talk and don't count." As soon as the money was mentioned, Xu Zhongde remembered the gambling contract again, and added uneasily.

"Second uncle, there is a sentence in the book called living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, wouldn't it be you who wrote it?" Xu Huan sneered.

"Why do you always say strange things, you kid? Eh, there's a guest coming, hurry up and entertain me. Xu Zhongde was annoyed and angry, and directly blasted Xu Huan out of the counter.
