In the early morning, two people, one big and one small, were hurrying on the official road.

"Anzhi, do you know what is the most important thing in walking the rivers and lakes?"

Wang Yu put his hands behind his back, and the bookcase was no longer on his back, hanging on his junior brother.

"What is it?" Chen Anzhi's dark little face was full of excitement, and he felt strange to see anything.

"It's about having eyes, knowing who you can mess with and who you can't mess with. ”

"Oh, brother, who can you mess with, and who can't mess with?"

Wang Yu pondered for a long time, scratched his ears and cheeks, couldn't think of anyone he couldn't mess with, and sighed helplessly, "Your senior brother, I don't seem to be afraid of anyone." ”

Chen Anzhi smirked, "Then I'm not afraid, whoever bullies me, let you teach him a lesson!"

"Well, that's right. ”

Wang Yu nodded, as for whether Chen Anzhi would rely on him to bully others, this question was not considered.

Although they haven't been together for a long time, he can still see the simplicity and kindness in this child's nature.

In this regard, he couldn't help but admire the woman who died on the bed and taught the child so well.

Until noon, the two of them did not touch a place like a village, Chen Anzhi poured the kettle, and it was empty.

"Senior brother, let's go find out where there is water, shall we?"

Wang Yu nodded, he was also a little thirsty.

Just as the two were about to leave the official road and follow the path to find a stream or a river, the young man walking on the other side of the road shouted, "Two, two!"

Wang Yu turned his head, this young man was not tall, black and thin, at first glance, it was an enlarged version of Chen Anzhi.

"What's the matter?"

The thin black young man smiled and walked over quickly, "Two brothers, but there is no water?"

"We're running out of water and we're about to fetch water. Chen Anzhi had a good impression of this guy who was very similar to himself, and hurriedly replied.

The young man smiled even more happily, took out a gourd from the box behind him, shook it, and said, "Don't be so troublesome, I have it here." ”

Chen Anzhi's eyes lit up, "Thank you, big brother!"

As he spoke, he was about to get the water hyacinth, but he was dodged by the young man, he raised a finger and shook it: "Little brother, there is no free lunch in the world, and the water I have worked so hard to carry can't be dismissed with a word." ”

"Huh, then what do you want?" Chen Anzhi's eyes widened, and he felt like he was blind.

"You don't need to ask, you want money!"

The young man pulled out the gourd plug and said to the two: "This is the water from the old well at home, which is cool and delicious, and can quench your thirst the most." ”

Chen Anzhi swallowed his saliva when he heard it, but if he asked for money, he still forgot it, anyway, if he found a river, he could drink to his heart's content.

As for asking Wang Yu for money to buy it, it has not appeared in his mind this year.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the young man aimed at Wang Yu, "Little brother, do you want it?"

"Can I take a bite first? After all, it's something that you pay for, and if it doesn't taste good, it won't be a big loss. ”

Wang Yu touched his chin, took out a few copper plates from his arms, and threw them up and down in his hand.

As soon as he heard the sound of the copper striking, the young man's eyes widened, "It's okay to take a sip, but you can't drink it from my gourd, take out your things that hold water, and I'll pour a little." ”

Wang Yu grinned and took the gourd from Chen Anzhi, "Pour." ”

The young man reluctantly looked away and poured a little water.

Wang Yu raised his head and took a sip, it was indeed as he said, it was clear and sweet, and it was very delicious.

"How about it? do you want to buy it?" the young man seemed to be very confident in his water, and almost reached over to take the money.

Wang Yu nodded, "Okay, pour water for us." ”

"Okay. ”

The young man quickly took the gourd and began to pour water into it.

Chen Anzhi said in a low voice on the side: "Senior brother, we don't have to spend so much, we can drink a full ditch at any time, why go to him to buy it." ”

Wang Yu smiled and rubbed his head, but did not speak.

The person in front of him seems to be treacherous, but it is all pretended, very blunt, and a discerning person can see it at a glance.

And the big box on his back, when Wang Yu opened it just now, Wang Yu took a look at it, there were a lot of water hyacinths in it, and some things wrapped in oil paper, which should be dry food and the like.

Looking at the young man's patched clothes, it is obviously not a solid family, perhaps the box behind it is all the capital to feed the whole family.

In that case, taking care of business is not a big deal.

It wasn't until Wang Yu's kettle was full that the young man sent it over, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the care of the guests, a total of three cents." ”

Directly threw the money over, Wang Yu handed the gourd to Chen Anzhi and asked him to drink it first.

The boy was thirsty, and he took a few gulps before stopping.

"Thank you, little brother, farewell. ”

The young man took the money and ran away.

Chen Anzhi tilted his head and said, "Senior brother, is our deal a loss?" ”

"Why do you ask?" Wang Yu smiled and took a sip of water.

"It's just water, we can drink it wherever we go, even if we are thirsty, we can endure it and it will pass, but those three copper coins can be exchanged for a lot of different things. ”

Chen Anzhi snapped his fingers and said: "You can eat noodles, buy rock sugar gourds, meat buns, meat patties..."

Counting, he said with a sad face: "Alas, no matter how you calculate it, I feel like I'm losing money." ”

Wang Yu laughed, stretched out his hand on the top of his head, and rubbed it, "There are two kinds of business, one is a business that must not suffer a loss, and the other is a loss that can be suffered, or even a loss." ”

Chen Anzhi was puzzled, how could anyone deliberately suffer losses in trading with others, so he asked: "Why do we take the initiative to suffer losses?"

"It depends on the situation, we were really thirsty just now, and that kid saw this point of selling water to help us solve the problem, and the price was not expensive, so I didn't care about that. ”

Wang Yu squatted down, looked into Chen Anzhi's eyes and said, "But ah, even if he asks for a little more money just now, I will give it, do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Do you look at him, like a businessman?" asked Wang Yu with a smile.

Chen Anzhi recalled carefully, "It's really not like it." ”

"Then we use some unimportant things to take care of his business, and we have convenience, and he sells things, isn't it just right that everyone is happy?"

Wang Yu said with a smile: "Everyone has difficulties, and we can't manage it, but since we have encountered it, and it happens to be within the convenience, why not do it?"

Chen Anzhi nodded as if he didn't understand, "Senior brother means that we weren't buying things just now, but helping him." ”

After a pause, he was curious again: "Then why don't you give more, you are so rich anyway." ”

Wang Yu angrily gave him a bullet in the brain, "My money is not money, is it? That is what your senior brother bought for with his life, and there is still more than foreign debts that cannot be recovered." ”

As he spoke, he remembered the girl who laughed like an elf, and he was very sad, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to get the money back.
