The little beggar dragged Boss Qiu to the market, and saw a poor scholar in ragged clothes squatting on the ground, on an old linen cloth in front of him, seeing a lot of excitement, and there were many people who wanted to buy it, but they seemed to be afraid that they would be stolen if they couldn't buy it overnight.

"Hey, get out of the way, Boss Qiu bought the ginseng, get out of the way......" The little beggar shouted from afar.

The two squeezed in front of the ginseng seller, and saw Zhong Sheng wearing the tattered clothes that had just entered Shenlong Mountain, his hair was messy and his face was dirty.

The little beggar thought that he was going to make a fool of you, so that the little master was kicked out in the middle of the night to ask for food.

picked up the ginseng on the ground and asked Boss Qiu to see the condition, and then pretended to stare at Zhong Sheng: "Nerd, the master asked you, where did this ginseng come from?"

Zhong Sheng replied weakly: "I picked it on Shenlong Mountain." "It looked like I hadn't eaten in days.

The little beggar continued to stir things up: "No one dares to enter that ghost place, why haven't you been eaten by wild beasts?"

Zhong Sheng lowered his head and said: "Xiaosheng originally wanted to go to Jiangling Mansion to seek officials, but he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with the time, so he planned to climb over Shenlong Mountain and take a shortcut, and at the foot of the mountain, he followed a dozen or so medicine pickers and hunters who risked death into the mountain, and went up Shenlong Mountain, they were all eaten by snakes thick with buckets, I fell off the cliff and only broke my leg, and I ate wild fruits along the way to fill my stomach, which was also three or five days before I walked to your land, alas, ......" After speaking, he pulled up his trouser legs, and there were still patches of bruises on his legs.

The little beggar was secretly having fun, thinking that this nerd was pretending to be quite similar, and he had really injured his leg. Hmph! Well deserved!

The little beggar put his hand on Zhong Sheng's shoulder and pinched it hard: "If you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing!"

Zhong Sheng showed a painful expression: "You are being bullied now, and when I have money to sell ginseng, I will buy you as a scholar and wash and cook for me every day." After saying that, he sneered and smiled.

"Then it depends on whether the master is happy or not, and it depends on whether you can afford the silver......" The two sang and harmonized.

At this time, Li Yatou came over with two or three people, and everyone got out of the way, and Li Yatou shouted: "I know that you, a little beggar who cheats on food and drink, have no good intentions and ask you to check the thieves, but you pulled Boss Qiu to buy ginseng, isn't this obviously causing Boss Qiu's family to be robbed again?"

The onlookers pointed and began to discuss:

"yes, isn't this the little beggar who unveiled the official list that day?"

"I changed my clothes, but I look like a boy."

"People rely on clothes, Buddha depends on gold"

"If the little beggar can't find the thief, he will be beheaded!"

Li Yatou raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, picked up Zhong Sheng's chin with his scabbard and asked, "What is your surname, where do you live? Why did you come here?" ”

"Xiaosheng's surname is Zhong Mingsheng, he lives at the foot of Luoxia Mountain in the west of Shenlong Mountain, he wanted to go to Jingnan to seek officials, in order to hurry, he ventured over Shenlong Mountain and approached the road, and later met several brave herb pickers and hunters to go up the mountain together, they were all eaten by poisonous snakes and beasts, and they didn't want to have only a small life, and they fell off the cliff and survived. It is a fact that Zhong Sheng spent the night in the Shenlong Mountain Teahouse, and he also heard from the fox hunters that there were bold herb pickers and hunters who did not return alive after going up the mountain.

Li Yatou looked at Zhong Sheng fixedly, then looked at Boss Qiu, frowned and said, "Boss Qiu, it's better not to buy it, if you buy it, you will provoke the thief to come to the door!"

Boss Qiu took two ginseng sticks and smelled and looked at them, and it is estimated that his own daughter-in-law and concubine have never taken it so seriously. Ecstatic said: "Good ginseng, good ginseng, rare good ginseng, there are thousands of years, and it is not too much to sell a hundred taels of gold!"

Then he sighed: "It's a pity that you came to the wrong place, this Muyu Town is full of thieves, and no one dares to buy it!"

The little beggar squatted next to Boss Qiu and said with a smile: "Huh...... Is it really that valuable?"

Boss Qiu took the ginseng and was still looking at it carefully: "It's worth it! Like this kind of ginseng, it has grown for thousands of years, gathering thousands of years of heaven and earth aura, and if you are lucky enough to encounter a masterpiece, it has the effect of resurrecting the dead! It is estimated that it is difficult for the palace to have such a good product, but unfortunately no one dares to buy it now that thieves are rampant." ”

Then he looked at Zhong Sheng thoughtfully: "This little brother, do you sell it for five hundred taels of silver?"

Zhong Sheng shook his head and said: "This is what Xiaosheng exchanged for his life, one thousand taels is not two prices!"

The little beggar shouted: "Boss Qiu, give the money quickly, give the money quickly! Hurry up and buy it back to stew ginseng soup for the master, let the master taste the thousand-year-old ginseng, and keep the other one for yourself." ”

Boss Qiu said that he didn't bring so many silver taels and asked Zhong Sheng to go to the shop with him to get it, so everyone dispersed.

Zhong Sheng stood up, dragged his bruised legs, and limped after him.
