"Will my brother still go to school?" the woman asked rhetorically.

The scholar lowered his head and did not speak.

"No one in our family has any land to farm now. As she spoke, the woman covered her mouth with her hand, as if she was smiling, as if she were ...

"Hey—" The scholar sighed, turned his body to the other side, and stopped looking at the woman.

Looking at the scholar's appearance, the woman put down her hand, and her eyes became cold.

That day, after the scholar finished speaking, there was a long silence in the room.

It was late at night, the two children were nervous and did not dare to breathe, the scholar's breathing was long and powerful, and the heavy panting sound of the old cow in the house at this time was the most obvious and abrupt.

"One hundred taels, give it to me in five days, the calf goes to school, and she doesn't have to marry a fool. Lao Niu blushed and said to the scholar in a contemptuous tone, pointing at his daughter with his finger.

After speaking, he didn't bring the scholar to respond, so he stepped forward and grabbed the girl's hand and pulled it to his side.

The scholar didn't move, nodded to the two children as a farewell, and then turned around and left the Niu family.

The moon in the sky is getting brighter and darker, and the stars are in patches.

The gravel on the road bounced and splashed with the pace of the scholar, and the sky was too dark, and the change of moonlight made the scholar's face become cloudy.

As the robe rolled away, the figure under the moon and stars gradually disappeared into the night.

Chivalry is forbidden with martial arts!

In this era, it is a small city far from the feet of the Son of Heaven, and people with a little martial arts always like to do something: robbing homes and houses, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and what kind of business to take people's money to eliminate disasters for others.

The rich man and the wealthy gentry are their targets, and under the giant curtain of this era, countless heroes have staged a beautiful performance. Left behind countless legends, heroes have righteousness, thieves also have ways, and the legends of assassins.

Will the rich man be an important player in this good play?

This time, he is playing the stepping stone, will anyone use him to make a splash, or fall into the abyss?

God knows.

In Guobei County

There are two houses not far from each other on both sides of the street, and there is a corner of open space in the middle, because the light is unknown and very hidden in the gap between the two walls.

Under the eaves opposite, there was a figure standing against the wall, it was the beggar Liu.

The beggar Liu left Zhou's house with firewood, and was in the shadow of the houses along the street all the way. From time to time, he looked left and right, carefully observing the roadside and alleyways for familiar figures.

It's not that he didn't want to leave Guobei County, it's just that he is a beggar, and at the end of the year, he is hungry and cold wherever he goes.

Taking advantage of the early morning, the beggar prepared to quietly run to the nearby liquor store, rummaged through the sweet water buckets placed in front of the door to see if there was anything to eat in them, picked up a few, and sneaked into the woods on the outskirts of the county with firewood to hide for two days.

The beggar found a bucket of swill, put the firewood in his hand to his feet, and began to rummage.

In that small black horn, two people in tattered clothes and shoes walked out at this time, and the hands behind them were holding broken bowls at this time, and the two leaned their heads and tilted their heads as if watching a play, and walked towards Liu, a beggar who was bending over and working hard.

"Yo, isn't this Brother Liu. A beggar patted the person next to him and said with a look of surprise.

The figure of the beggar Liu froze, grinning slowly, without turning his head or making a sound.

"Brother Liu, don't you need buddies to help you? The two of them began to look around and asked.

It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.

In the past few days, he has been working part-time in Zhou's house, and the beggar Liu can be regarded as thinking clearly, this group of people will find him sooner or later, with this mental preparation, he quickly adjusted his state, wiped the stains on his hands on the hem of his clothes, and turned around.

"I just happened to run into you, let's go eat now. Call everyone together and lead the way. The beggar Liu straightened his back, glanced at the two beggars behind him, cleared his throat, and commanded.

As soon as the beggar Liu's voice fell, one of the beggars spoke happily: "Okay, you, go and call someone, Brother Liu! I'll show you the way, let's go to Zuifang Building." Calling his companion to call someone, he hurriedly bent down and made a gesture to the beggar Liu.

"Grab the firewood. Kicking the smiling beggar next to him, Brother Liu opened his legs and walked towards the restaurant.

If Qingyuan Building is the only one in Guobei County and the best green building within a radius of a few miles nearby, then Zuifang Building is one of the best restaurants in the entire Wubei County.

As long as there are two children in the pocket, they will choose this drunken Fang Building to invite the banquet.

The bluestone pavement is smooth from left to right, and the middle street runs from front to back, from south to north, like a blue river across the county.

On Dengke Street, the best location in the middle is the shop that Mr. Zhou bought at that time, and it is also because of this shop that there is Dengke Street, which is the best restaurant in Guobei County and the entire Wubei County.

The restaurant is a typical Hui style building, with gray tiles and white walls. The two huge doors are covered with vermilion lacquered wooden nails, which are like giants, protecting and welcoming the arrival of distinguished guests.

The walls of the façade are covered with small openwork windows with beautiful and simple carvings.

There are huge rockeries, theaters, jade and other masterpieces of the garden in the restaurant, and the wooden beams and stone walls are carved with auspicious beasts and peonies.

The restaurant has three floors, and the floor above the second floor is covered with carpets embroidered with brocade and satin in pastel tones.

"I advise you not to sleep tonight. And full, pan boats. Everyone was drunk on the feast. May the new year be better than the old one. ”

May the new year be better than the old one, remove all the unhappy things, and reap your own happiness.

"Brother Liu, Zuifanglou has arrived. ”
