When things don't go well, there are always more bad people and bad things to happen.

When I led my sister to escape from Zezhou to Huai Khanh, and when I first arrived on the ground in Hanoi County, I met this master who used to bully the weak.

We've been on the run all the way, and we're already hungry. Although I have horses, I don't really know how to ride, and I don't dare to go too fast for fear of falling off. So at that time, he just told the horses to carry us and trot slowly.

When I encountered uphill, downhill and difficult roads, I led the horse below, and only asked my sister to sit on the horse.

Walking hundreds of miles like this, although it is also very hard, but fortunately, it is much easier than walking on two legs. At least my silly girl didn't suffer too much.

Because we were fleeing for our lives, we didn't dare to take the official road, so we kept walking along the path, trying to choose a remote place with few people.

In this way, it was not until noon the next day that we finally saw a wild shop on the side of the road, which was selling wine and rice. At that time, I didn't know that this kind of shop was actually mostly black shops, except for officials and people who walked the rivers and lakes, not many ordinary people dared to come.

I asked what was in the store, and asked the little two to serve me two bowls of braised noodles and five steamed buns. The second child looked at my brother and sister, with an extremely playful look, sneered, and asked in a cold tone: "Just you, do you still have some food?"

When I took out the small bag snatched from Li Xiande from his arms, took out a few big coins and handed them to him, he looked incredulous and replied: "Wait a while!

Then he turned and walked away.

I thought I would be able to eat a good meal later, but I was so hungry and thirsty that I scooped a scoop of water into the water tank at the door of the store, and drank it dry in one go, and asked my sister to drink a lot too.

Who would have thought, after a while, the shopkeeper poked his head out again, looked at me twice, and then asked the shopkeeper to come out.

The shopkeeper looked like he was in his thirties, with a black and red complexion, two mustaches, and a white hat on his head. Later, I learned that he was a Muslim.

He came out and looked at us, and then went outside the house to see the horses we were tied to the tree, and came back and asked strangely, "You two, do you want meat in the braised noodles?"

"Huh?"

I certainly didn't understand what he meant.

Since I have meat, and I have money on me now, of course I want it!

I've been hungry all day, of course I'm going to eat a full meal! Steamed buns are not as delicious as meat, and the meat tube is full!

Not only me, but my silly girl hasn't tasted meat for at least half a year.

So, I quickly replied, "Yes, yes, put meat, put meat!"

"How many pieces?" the shopkeeper's words are always inexplicable.

"Uh......" I was stunned for a while, and I didn't know what he meant, so I smashed my mouth and smacked stupidly: "I can put a few pieces and put a few pieces!"

Hey!

I thought to myself, I can put half a bowl! I'm dying of hunger, and this is the time to satisfy my hunger.

In the end, half of my size, I haven't experienced the world, I'm a stupid fork, I didn't realize that eating with meat must cost money, who can give you food for nothing.

The shopkeeper also smiled and said, "In my shop, I don't sell pork, only beef and mutton, do you want to eat beef or mutton?"

What he said made me even more strange, but I didn't think much about it at the time, and replied, "It's all right! It's delicious! Hurry up, I'm very hungry!"

The shopkeeper said, "In that case, then don't add it to the noodles at all, cut half a plate for each of you, and put together a plate of meat and vegetables!"

"Uh......" I turned my head around, thinking to myself, there is at least three or five taels of silver in this small bag, and it won't cost much to eat a meal of meat, now it's time to run for your life, don't care so much, it's important to fill your stomach! I'll take my sister to eat a good meal first!

Later, I learned that ploughing cattle are not allowed to be slaughtered privately in our dynasty, and people like me are not only very expensive to eat beef, but also illegal!

They have set me up to trap me.

I'm a poor boy, leading a stupid girl, and I'm in tatters, and I have all this silver in this little pocket, and it's worth them so much?

But when people's hearts are bad, they want to be as dark as they are.

Not only will they extort my money, but they will also take away my horse.

After eating the noodles, according to the price written in the "menu" on the wall, two bowls of stewed noodles are a total of 20 Wen, and I don't know how much the meat is, I guess it is no more than 100 Wen at most, but I don't want the little two to say to me: "Two pieces of meat are put together on a plate, one lamb is two taels, one beef is three taels, a total of half a catty of meat, together with the noodles, you will remove the change, a total of ten taels of silver!"

"What?"

At that time, I suspected that I had misheard, and asked repeatedly: "Little second brother, no, no! No, you can calculate it again, and then calculate it, okay?"

The little second sneered: "Cattle are very rare nowadays! Don't you know? This mutton is two taels, a total of sixty yuan, but three taels of yellow beef cost nine taels and nine dollars of silver!"

"What, what? Three taels of beef cost nine taels of silver?" I only felt stunned for a while, and said timidly: "This ...... No, beef is more expensive than silver! Is this beef, or is it human flesh?"

"Hah, boy, are you not afraid of the wind when you speak, and your tongue flashed?" The shopkeeper's eyes squinted, and he said jokingly: "What's the matter? You still want to eat human flesh? If you don't give me the money for this meal today, you won't be able to leave!"

As he spoke, his nostrils turned to the sky, and he said arrogantly: "And the tea you drink, it's the best hairy tip! A pot of five hundred wen! So many things, I didn't calculate it for you, and I asked you for a total of ten taels of silver, is it expensive?

"I, I'm ......" I was about to cry urgently, and I was busy pleading, "Little second brother, and what about the shopkeeper's uncle? You can do well, you can do well! I don't have so much money!"

"What's the matter, you dare to eat meat if you don't have money?" the shopkeeper glared at me and said viciously: "I saw you just took out a money bag, hurry up, take out all the money in it!"

When I trembled all over, and my hands trembled and handed him the money bag, this little er grabbed it, shook it, and poured all the silver and copper coins in it on the table and clicked it, a total of four taels of silver, and thirty copper coins, far from enough.

I kept begging, and the little two kept sneering, and then I called the shopkeeper out, and after bargaining in front of him, the little two said: "I said, you kid is so bold, you don't have the money to dare to come to me to eat meat?

"W-What?"

It was only then that I realized that I had entered the wolf's den and had been "slaughtered". Now in this store, in addition to the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper, there seem to be three or four guys behind him, and it seems that he is about to be shouted by the second shopkeeper and come over to scare me.

Seeing that I looked embarrassed, the shopkeeper shook his head and pouted, and ordered Xiao Er to go down, then changed his face, smiled gently, and said to me: "Young man, I don't think it's easy for you, come out to escape, right? Uncle, I don't embarrass you, you just leave this horse to settle the account!"

As he spoke, he calculated an account for me and said, "A horse like this on the market costs fifteen or sixteen taels of silver, and today you spent ten taels on dinner, and I don't want your money, so I will find you five taels of silver." Isn't it more affordable for you two children to ride a horse and get some money on the road?"

"I, I...... Uncle, you make me think about it. ”

His words made my heart flutter and fall into deep thought.
