Chapter 7: You Old Man, Lie to Children!
Six months ago, it was bitterly cold
Early in the morning, Yang Tianchen packed himself up and went out to the street. With the money I had saved for half a year, I planned to go to the silk village to buy a white-collar coat that I had seen a few days earlier, three hundred beads. I didn't buy it for myself, the fur was women's, so I naturally wanted to buy it for my sister. Strange to say, he has no requirements for clothes and the like, as long as it is not short, even if he fills a few holes, he will wear it.
However, a person always has some habits, and he Yang Tianchen loves to look at beautiful women!
My own flower-like sister is too beautiful, and she can give him a fascination in everything she wears. As long as he has money, he wants to give Yang Xiaoru no clothes, and when he sees a beautiful one, he saves money to buy it.
He knew that Yang Xiaoru didn't like rouge gouache, and he wouldn't want it if he bought it, Yang Tianchen could also see it, Yang Xiaoru was so beautiful, and he didn't need to use those vulgar things. Clothes, I can only wear them if I buy them, because they are not easy to return, and I only show him when I wear them, and it is beautiful to think about.
Yang Xiaoru didn't know how many times he had told him about this, but he just didn't listen, and his father and mother didn't stop him, always saying, "He spends the money he saves himself, and we can't control it." ”
Therefore, every time Yang Tianchen bought new clothes, he couldn't help but be scolded by Yang Xiaoru, and if he spent too much, he would have to be pulled out of his ears. Still, he was willing.
"Come on, help, old man, I've been kneeling here for three days, I haven't eaten or drunk, and there is a ten-year-old granddaughter at home, who has a high fever that doesn't go away, it depends on the doctor, everyone is okay, give me some money." "There will always be such begging sounds in the downtown area. Everyone is accustomed to it, and there are not many people who stop.
Yang Tianchen followed the sound and saw an old beggar covered in dirt and thin clothes, kneeling on the side of the road and begging. In this cold winter, Yang Tianchen felt cold when he looked at him.
The old beggar seemed to notice that someone was looking at him, and he followed Yang Tianchen's gaze. Looking at each other, the old man immediately kicked his nose on his face. The beggar stared at him, begging again, and didn't look at others, just begging Yang Tianchen again, and now Yang Tianchen couldn't leave if he wanted to.
"Alas, why are the eyes so cheap, why don't you look blindly. Yang Tianchen, who was helpless, shook his head and walked straight towards the beggar. Although he muttered, as if he didn't want to save it, in fact, deep down, Yang Tianchen was still very glad that he saw this scene, and saving it was the lives of two people.
"Hey, old man, is your granddaughter really sick?" asked Yang Tianchen, who walked in front of him.
"Yes, Master Shaoxia, I'll just rely on it, wait for me to go back and save it. If you do well, give some money, and God will bless you. The beggar seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, nodded desperately, bowed, and really didn't understand how people who had been hungry for three days had so much strength.
"It seems to be a rescue. Helped. ”
"Okay, don't bow down, I'll give you all a hundred beads. After speaking, Yang Tianchen turned his face away and took out a piece of paper with a hundred beads written on it.
The old beggar grabbed the money, as if he was afraid that it would fly. But he didn't leave, and continued to look at Yang Tianchen with begging eyes.
"My granddaughter's illness is not light, although your money is not enough, but I still thank you, the old man Bodhisattva heart, there must be a good reward. The old beggar bowed and thanked him again, "I will kneel here for another day or two, and when I have collected three hundred beads, my granddaughter will be saved." ”
Hearing this, Yang Tianchen's compassion was overflowing again, "Then how much are you missing, I want to find a way to see if I can help you." ”
"Two hundred beads. The old beggar said without hesitation. At this moment, Yang Tianchen was dumbfounded, "How could it be so coincidental!"
He hesitated, and looked at the beggar, whose expectant look continued, "Do you really want to give it all to him?" Why is this old man so unlucky, he has been kneeling for three days, and he has not received a cent. Why don't I give him another hundred beads? No, this old man didn't get a penny for three days, and it won't help to give him a hundred, forget it, you should accumulate virtue, people's lives matter, no matter how poor you are, it's your life. ”
"Old man, count you lucky, I just remembered that there are still two hundred beads in my pocket, alas, I'm like this, the money is blind, no, I just found out just now, but I don't want to give it to you." After speaking, Yang Tianchen took out two hundred beads and reluctantly handed them to the beggar.
The old beggar snatched the money and said, "I know, I know, the old man and the Bodhisattva have a heart, how can they be stingy and not give me the money." ”
Yang Tianchen nodded, watching the old beggar carry the money into his arms, and his heart was dripping blood, "Ah, my three hundred beads, half a year's deposit, this is no longer the opportunity to feast your eyes." ”
"Old man, I also know a few good doctors in Gushan, you bring your granddaughter, I will take you there, maybe I can make you cheaper, I don't want the extra money, you can buy some food." "Yang Tianchen's popularity in Gushan is still good, except for always fighting with his peers, there are really no other problems, of course, he is handsome, many little girls love to secretly send autumn waves to him, but Yang Tianchen doesn't like to take care of them.
Hearing Yang Tianchen's words, the old beggar was stunned. "I'm already grateful enough for the money that the lord gave to the villain, where do you dare to bother you, I'll do this kind of trivial thing myself. ”
"It's not too much trouble, it's okay, I have time. Yang Tianchen said. He thought to himself, "Nonsense, the money is all here, what do I need time for?" ”
Now, the old beggar's expression was unnatural, "This, this ......"
"What's wrong, it's inconvenient?"
"Yes, yes, it's inconvenient, my granddaughter has smallpox, it's contagious, you better don't go, the villain is gone, don't send it, the lord." The old beggar hurriedly finished speaking, and ran away as if fleeing from the plague god.
"What's the situation, running so fast, I'm not willing to help you. Yang Tianchen felt strange, the old man's behavior was very abnormal, "No, he didn't want to lie to me." Thinking of this, Yang Tianchen felt deceived. "No, I have to go up and take a look, I can't really suffer. ”
Yang Tianchen immediately went to chase the old beggar. However, he was nowhere to be seen. "Ran away?!"
Around the next corner, an old man was sitting in a hotel, who else could it be if it wasn't the old beggar.
At this time, the old man shouted in his mouth, "Pour it full, and the three hundred beads will be yours." ”
I saw the guy pouring the wine into the gourd the size of two hands one by one, but he didn't see it full.
"What's the matter, is your gourd leaking? "The man wanted to make money, how much wine can be used to pour a full gourd, but who would have thought, four or five jars were poured in, and it was not good, and the price had already exceeded three hundred beads.
"Fart, which eye of yours sees my gourd leaking. ”
The man didn't believe it, grabbed the gourd and wanted to lift it, but the little gourd didn't move. Looking down, it was indeed not missing. Now the guy has no bottom in his heart, and there are more and more people watching the excitement, and the discussion is gradually getting louder.
"This old man is deceiving people again. ”
"Yes, the Wang Si Liquor Shop on West Street was cheated by him a few days ago, and he came to deceive people again a few days ago. ”
"I don't know where this old man picked up this treasure gourd, and he can't fill it with it. ”
"It must have been left by a master, let this old man pick it up, it's really cheap for him. ”
The guy couldn't hold it down, so he could only run to call the shopkeeper.
"The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper, no, there's a strange person here, who is cheating us about wine. ”
"What, liar, if there is a liar, you can just send it to the government, do you need to shout here. The shopkeeper was looking at the ledger and didn't have time to deal with him.
"Well, come and see, I can't tell you a sentence or two. The man was in a hurry, and when the shopkeeper saw this, he had to put down the account book and go to see what was going on.
In the hotel, when the old man saw the guy running away, he actually lifted the wine vat and poured it up, and when the shopkeeper arrived, more than a dozen vat of wine had fallen on the ground. He immediately turned around and asked the guy, "How much did he give?"
The man trembled and raised three fingers.
"Three thousand beads, that's fine, but fortunately he came early, he poured all good wine, and if he came a little later, it would exceed this price. ”
"The shopkeeper, no, not three thousand beads. Yes, three hundred beads. ”
The shopkeeper almost couldn't believe his ears, his eyes were bigger than the copper bell, he gasped in a breath of cool air, and the whole person fell straight down, patting a layer of dust.
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, shopkeeper, wake up, wake up. When the man saw that the shopkeeper had fallen, he was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to shake him awake.
"Come on, report to the official, this old man is a liar, woo, our shopkeeper is angry with him. The guy shouted heartbreakingly, "Someone is dead, report to the official." ”
As soon as the old man saw that he was about to report to the official, he did the work in his hands more urgently, and even lifted a vat of wine in each hand and poured it into the gourd. "Don't worry, your shopkeeper is angry, and he fainted for a while, it's not a big deal, and it will be fine in a while. The old man comforted the man.
"I don't care, you're a liar anyway, I'm going to report to the police and arrest you. ”
"Alas, why are you unreasonable, let's discuss, I'll give you three hundred beads, you help me pour a gourd of wine, and now the wine is not full, but you say I'm a liar, obviously trying to repay the debt. ”
As soon as the guy heard the anger, he didn't fight in one place, "The big guy commented on the theory, and he took three hundred beads to buy one, two, three, four...... Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen. Do you buy eighteen jars of wine? ”
"Yes, the old man is a liar. ”
"Yes, I saw him just now, defrauding Yang Hong's son of money. ”
"yes, it's disgusting. ”
......
The discussion became louder and louder, and the old man saw that the situation was not good, so he picked up the gourd and ran out.
"Bang", and Yang Tianchen, who came to him, bumped into his arms.
Yang Tianchen's eyes were full of stars, and when he came back to his senses, the old man was in front of him, and there were a bunch of people pointing behind him, listening carefully, what "three hundred pearls" and "cheating wine" Yang Tianchen suddenly understood what the situation was.
"Okay, you old liar, cheat me out of my money to buy alcohol and drink. Yang Tianchen was furious, grabbed the old man's collar, and "Give me back the money." ”
"Hehe, young man, it's really fateful, we met again after a while, talking about money hurts feelings, I owe you a favor, next time old man, I'll do you a favor." ”
"Whoever wants your favor, I want my money. Quick, give it back to me. ”
"I'm sorry, I've already given the money to that young man, if you want it, go find him. After speaking, the old man took Yang Tianchen's hand away, and ran away with a whoosh, Yang Tianchen was behind, and he couldn't catch up.
The lonely mountain life is idle, the parents chew the root of the tongue for a short time, and a little thing can be spread all over the idlers of a town in less than half a day. Soon, Yang Tianchen was cheated of money, and the old man used Yang Tianchen's money to cheat the wine spread all over Gushan, and most people still cared about the treasure gourd that was not filled with wine, and they were amazed.
Yang Tianchen didn't recover the money, and wandered around the street for a long time, but he still didn't see half a figure, so he could only go home in disgrace.
As soon as he stepped into the house, he saw a shadow standing there, as if he was waiting for him. Yang Tianchen glanced at it and lowered his head.
"Laugh if you want, you're not the only one. ”
"Hehe, how do you know your sister will laugh at you?"
"I was laughed all the way back, alas~ It's also a sin to be too kind-hearted. Yang Tianchen waved his hand indifferently.
Yang Xiaoru couldn't help but really want to laugh when she saw her younger brother's remorseful appearance, but she still held back.
"Tell me honestly, why are you taking the money?"
"I asked knowingly, brother, I feel sorry for my sister who doesn't have good clothes to wear in winter, so I went to the street to buy one for you. Yang Tianchen said quietly.
"Hehe, three hundred beads, my good brother is willing to spend money on my sister. Well, what about the clothes. After Yang Xiaoru finished speaking, she narrowed her eyebrows, and asked with a perfect face close to Yang Tianchen.
"You!" Yang Tianchen knew that she was laughing at herself, and pointed his finger at her, "You might as well be direct, it's not generous at all." ”
"Yo, good brother, what's wrong, angry?" Yang Xiaoru was like a proud child, smiling happily, Yang Tianchen looked at her, and forgot to come back to his senses for a while, "It's okay to be ridiculed, it's good to look at the beauty." ”
Just as he was thinking about it, he was suddenly hit in the head. "Look! I'm not afraid that I won't be able to pull it out!" Yang Xiaoru saw Yang Tianchen staring at herself, and her face immediately turned red and she slapped him as a punishment.
Yang Tianchen, who had been beaten for a while, couldn't look at it anymore, so he could only look back angrily, "Be stingy, laugh at me for being willing, let me take a look." ”
Yang Xiaoru smiled at Yang Tianchen, who seemed to have been bullied, "Actually, I'm quite happy that you were deceived, at least it makes me happier than buying clothes for me." ”
"You're hurting too much, aren't you? ”
Yang Xiaoru saw that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that, I'm happy that I have a kind-hearted brother, understand." ”
At this time, Yang Tianchen smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "This is like a little talk." Looking at Yang Xiaoru, I saw the latter, looking at him with a seductive smile, stretching out his jade hand and hooking his chin.
"In order to reward you, how about my sister let you kiss it. ”
Yang Tianchen was dumbfounded, pie in the sky?
"Lady, that's what you said, I didn't force you. Yang Tianchen thought to himself, "Hey, this is really worth it." "Blushing, eager to try.
"Stinky boy, do you really want to kiss?" Who knew that Yang Xiaoru turned her words around, and her hand still pinched Yang Tianchen's mouth, "Little pervert, look at your ill-intentioned appearance, you owe a beating, right?" ”
"Mother, you see, my sister is bullying me again. Yang Tianchen looked behind Yang Xiaoru at this time, looking aggrieved and asking for help.
When the latter heard this, he turned his head and looked. "Hey, no one, what's this stinky boy called. ”
There was no figure of her mother behind her, she couldn't help but feel strange, and she turned around when she looked for it to no avail.
Who knows, Yang Tianchen has already put his face close to her at this time, just waiting for her to turn back. Yang Xiaoru didn't pay attention, turned her head, and her small mouth was attached to Yang Tianchen's face.
"No, sister, I'm joking, I didn't expect you to play really!" Yang Tianchen got cheap, and even put on a surprised look.
"You! you!" Yang Xiaoru was taken advantage of, and her pretty face was even more cute, "I told my mother, saying that you bullied me." After saying that, he ran into the house with a red face and a shy face.
"It's obvious that you kissed me, how did I bully you, you tell my mother that I'm not afraid, anyway, I'm justified. Yang Tianchen said behind Yang Xiaoru, thinking in his heart, "You still want to lie to me, haha, if you allow me, how can you not take it." Touching the place where Yang Xiaoru had kissed, Yang Tianchen smiled stupidly, now, there is no need to wash his face for a month.
Above the Lonely Mountain Waterhole
"Stinky old man, disrespectful to the old, don't talk nonsense, if you don't return the money to me today, you won't want to leave. Yang Tianchen stood up and pointed at the old man angrily.
Seeing this, the old man was not annoyed and smiled, "It seems that this young man has a relationship with me, I like my temperament, although he is a little frizzy, but he is kind-hearted, such a mysterious pool, he can go back and forth, it seems that he has luck." Hehe, it's not easy to encounter such an innate Xuanling martial bone. No, you can't let it go, you have to think of a way to take me as an apprentice. ”
The old man moved his thoughts, and while looking at Yang Tianchen, he was also thinking about a logical strategy. At his level, he is only one step away from being able to escape from the ordinary, and it is inevitable that he will have some thoughts in the stumbling process, and it is impossible for the Dao to disappear in smoke, but he always wants to leave some traces in the world. Seeing a talented teenager, I naturally had the idea of inheriting the mantle.
"Don't worry, I owe you money, I admit it, you pay back the money you owe me first, and then I have the money, so I will naturally pay you back. The old man joked.
"You're old fool, when did I owe you money. Yang Tianchen replied confidently to the old man's words.
The old man smiled silently, only to see him wave his big hand, and a suction force hit Yang Tianchen, at this time, the demon grass that was originally lying quietly in Yang Tianchen's arms flew towards him out of thin air. Yang Tianchen wanted to catch it, but he didn't catch it.
By the way, he was still standing in the air just now, a powerhouse in the Purple Mansion Realm, what is the situation, why did these immortal bosses all jump out in one day, and let me run into them, and they all let me die?" Yang Tianchen's mind was racing, and he suddenly realized that he couldn't say it, "You are a master outside the world, you have to pretend to be a beggar, pit me? Now it's okay, all the things that should be scolded and those who shouldn't be scolded have been scolded, it's over." ”
Showing this hand, Yang Tianchen was a fool and found that the old man was extraordinary, and immediately changed his flattering face, "Hehe, the seniors are playing in the world, and they are really the five bodies that the younger generations admire, the younger Yang Tianchen, he had no eyes before, and he hoped that the seniors would let the younger generations go." ”
"Hehe, why are you so well-behaved now, didn't you have to pay me back just now?"
"How dare Xiaosheng, the seniors asked me to take away the three hundred beads of small money, it is an honor for the juniors, how can I have to pay it back. Don't say anything, the kid knows that the seniors love to drink, and the juniors will go back to get the money, and they will definitely fill the seniors' wine jugs with the best wine!" Yang Tianchen said with a sneer, and secretly thought to himself, "You have shown this hand, and I dare to ask you for money?" Alas, the Demon Grass has also been taken away, but I am afraid that I will not come back." ”
"Boy, why are you so doggy?" Qian Wen said disdainfully.
"What's the matter, he's playing this hand, and I still have to scold him? Yang Tianchen didn't care.
After speaking, Yang Tianchen took a step and wanted to leave. As soon as he took a few steps, the old man swished, blocking his way.
Slowly and leisurely took out the wine jug, smacked his mouth, took a few sips, the old man squinted, as if he was savoring, and then stuffed the stopper back unhurriedly, and then said. "Since you don't want the money, it means that you are really conscious, young man, so I will reluctantly refuse to pay it back. However, what you owe me is not settled, hehe, don't leave in a hurry. ”
The more Yang Tianchen listened, the more confused he became, this old man and old god were there, it didn't look like he was drinking too much and talking nonsense, but he and this old man had met twice, and he really couldn't remember when he owed him money.
"What the seniors mean, the younger generations really don't understand, and I hope the seniors will make it clear. If the younger generation really owes the money to the senior, it must be returned. ”
"Of course you owe me money, old man, I will lie to you. The old man said seriously.
Smacking his mouth, it seemed that there was no taste on his tongue again, and the old man opened the flask and raised his head, and poured a few gulps hard.
"I've seen it once, and I was deceived by you, this probability is high enough. Yang Tianchen thought to himself.
The old man put down the gourd, wiped his mouth, looked at Yang Tianchen with a puzzled face, and asked faintly.
"Do you know, why do I know you have the Demon Grass in your arms?"
"The younger generation doesn't know, I think it must be the senior's vast supernatural power and deduced. Yang Tianchen complimented.
"No, no, no, I don't have that ability. The old man waved his hand, and then said, "I can know because I planted this demon herb and made a mark, and if you pull it out, how can I not know." ”
After Yang Tianchen heard this, he was skeptical, and he couldn't question, so he could only follow the old man's statement and said, "It turns out that this demon grass was planted by the seniors, no wonder it was born so strangely, and it was pulled out privately, it was the younger generation who was reckless, and I hope the seniors will not blame it." The senior has already taken it back, so it's over. ”
"How can you do it? You picked it and returned it, but you returned a plant that is 200 years old, and I originally planned to plant it for 300 years to make it refined, and it can be sold for 300,000 pearls, and in these two hundred years, it is only worth 100,000 pearls, and the difference is 200,000 pearls. Tell me if you should pay it back. ”
