Chapter 16: The Strange Beggar

In ancient times, transportation was only available to the wealthy, who could ride horses, sedan chairs, and even cars, not Mercedes-Benz BMWs, of course, but horsepower-pulled two-wheeled wooden cars.

Of course, the sedan chair should be more comfortable, swaying up and down, it will make people drowsy like using a cradle chair, which is very good. It is more difficult to sit in a wooden car, because the ancient wooden car chassis has no shock absorbers, all wooden structure, high-end ones come with bronze and iron, and the wheels are also wooden, so when you go to the uneven ground, you can shake the people on the car out of.

Therefore, I do not understand why the ancients liked to make wooden carts and suffered from sins rather than walking or riding horses. It wasn't until later that I learned that the ancients and modern people were limited by the level of productivity, because they were different, but the way of thinking was the same, modern people liked to abuse themselves when they were idle, and ancient people were the same, and when they got rich, they also liked to play some new tricks.

If it weren't for the fact that I only had ten copper plates on me, I had planned to rent a horse and rush to Fahua Temple, but later I learned that horses cannot be rented, they can only be bought, and you have to ask why, in fact, the reason is very simple, there is nothing that can be collected back from the horses that are rented out.

Although I don't have the financial strength to buy a horse at the moment, I don't dare to compliment some people on horseback riding skills. I was in a hurry, and I saw a fat young man riding a horse past me, and his skill in driving the horse was really amazing.

I saw that when the horse's back was upside down, his buttocks were sinking, and when the horse's back was sinking, his buttocks were lifted up, and the horse's back was marching in a clapping rhythm, which I admired so much. However, the young man seemed to be immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself, so he only heard him wave his whip and say proudly: "It's so enjoyable." ”

I'm sorry for this horse, who can ride a horse, I sympathize too much with this horse, so ravaged by its master.

Just as I was filled with righteous indignation, the horse, as if inspired by my voice, lifted its hind hooves and turned its buttocks to the air, and threw its master alive.

Even if I hate this man's words and deeds, falling off a horse is not a trivial matter, and if I don't manage it, I will have to ride a horse for the rest of my life.

I hurried over and hurriedly asked, "Can this brother fall and hurt himself?"

This guy looked like a sincere person, but I saw him touch his buttocks, and said with an aggrieved face: "It's not hurt, it's just that I want to shit." ”

I kicked him off the field and scolded, "Incompetent. ”

I saw that he was useless, and I wanted to ride his horse directly, but I recalled what Qingxin said to me, before arriving at Fahua Temple, don't make trouble, let alone meddle in things, I had to give up and pull him up angrily.

"My dad didn't teach me how to ride a horse, I secretly brought it out myself. The fat guy said aggrievedly, almost crying, which made me unbearable, it seems that he is a sincere rich man.

"I'll teach you how to ride, and your father must be very happy to see it, and say that you can ride a horse. I won't scold you. ”

The fat boy said very happily: "You are so good, you are a gentleman, then how are you going to teach me to ride a horse." ”

I patted the dirt on my hands and said, "How did you ride just now, you can ride it backwards in the future." ”

"Oh. The fat guy agreed thoughtfully.

I went on the road after doing good deeds, and when it was already dark, I saw a village, and I had no choice but to find a peasant family to stay for a night, and the peasant family was very warm and polite, not only took me in for free, but also asked me to accompany them to dinner.

Although there were only ten copper plates, I wanted to give a few to repay the master, but the master repeatedly insisted on not accepting them, and if he had to give them, he would not let me stay. I knew that it was the farmer's kindness, so I had no choice but to thank him again and again and stay at the farmer's house for one night.

Before dawn on the second day, I put five copper plates on the table while the peasant family was awake, quietly pushed open the door, and closed the door again.

When I walked to the afternoon, I was so hungry that I couldn't help it, so I found an inn and ordered only a pot of brown rice. I don't know if it's because I'm too hungry, or if I'm used to the eating style of the ancients, and the down-and-out people can no longer play the temper of the eldest young master.

Originally, a pot of brown rice cost five copper plates, but the boss saw that I was a monk and it was really hard to travel, so he only accepted four copper plates from me, and I could still keep one.

In modern times, you don't know what you can buy if you leave a dollar, but in ancient times, it was different, two steamed buns and a copper plate, enough for you to fill your stomach.

With the only remaining copper plate, I set out on the road north, until ten in the evening, when I saw a small town on the bank of the river, and a lame beggar was sitting on the grass on the bank of the river, dying.

In the past month or so since I traveled to the Warring States Period, whether I have heard it or seen it with my own eyes, whether it is because of war or hunger, I have died in the barren mountains and mountains, and the people on the roadsides and alleys are innumerable.

Although it was not uncommon to see a beggar on the side of the road, I saw him gasping for breath on the ground, and I couldn't bear it, so I walked over.

"Big brother, are you alright? I greeted me with care.

The beggar was as thin as firewood, his face wrinkled like a knife and an axe, and his eyes were dull, and at this moment he suddenly saw someone questioning, and hurriedly raised his eyes, and exclaimed, "You are here, you are finally here." ”

I was very surprised, I did come, but I didn't know you, why bother, you came, you finally came, such a tone?

"Big brother, it's okay if you're fine, I'll go first. "I was afraid that this beggar would recognize his relatives in a dangerous situation, and when others saw me, they thought that I had abandoned my parents, so that my parents would become beggars.

"Don't go, little brother, have mercy on me, I haven't eaten for seven days and seven nights. The beggar didn't wait for me to turn around, but seized the opportunity and grabbed my legs.

To be honest, I regret a little bit at the moment why I want to be nosy, it seems that Miss Qingxin's words are not unreasonable, and I still can't change my temper.

I said patiently: "Brother beggar, you also bypass me, I am a foot monk, and I have no money." ”

"Please, I just want to have a good meal, even if I die, I have no regrets, then I beg you. The beggar hugged my thigh and cried, but I could feel that his arm was no longer strong, and it was not difficult for me to break free.

Hey, forget it, I still have a copper plate on me, I'll give it to you.

I shook my head, took out the copper plate from the depths of the Mai in my arms, handed it to the beggar's head, and said, "Na, my only belongings are this copper plate, if you don't believe it, I can't help it, if you pester me like this again, I'm not welcome." ”
