Chapter 15: The Tribulation of the Heart
In the quiet room, Jian Qingyu sat cross-legged on the stone couch, surrounded by a golden light, but his breath was a little erratic......

However, in the prosperous city, there are also poor people, especially the poor who beg for a living, most of them gather in this prosperous city.
After all, there are more rich people in this kind of city, and the leakage of their mouths is enough for these beggars to live!
Jian Qingyu is also a beggar who struggles at the bottom of this prosperous city, but in this life, he has no name.
Because he was an orphan abandoned by his parents since he was a child, he was called a wild beggar because he had been begging for a living since he was a child.
Ye Qi'er originally lived in a small village on the other side of Rongshan, but it was relatively poor, and it was not easy to beg, he heard that Xiangyun City was very prosperous, so he begged all the way, and he was only six years old at that time!
In Xiangyun City, although it is easy for beggars to get food, he is a child, who is not familiar with life, is often bullied, and even almost abducted by human traffickers several times, but fortunately, he is small but clever, so he barely struggled to survive, and it has been ten years!
The sixteen-year-old wild beggar, with a clever energy, also gained a firm foothold in Xiangyun City, and had a small piece of his own "begging territory", and there was also a remote small ruined temple outside the city at night.
That night, the wild beggar rubbed the wounds on his face, dragged him and limped back, touched the darkness, and slowly walked in the direction of the small broken temple, but his face was still full of smug smiles!
Today he had a fight with a man who was taller and stronger than him, and the fight was fierce, and that person wanted to grab his "territory", so he fought with that person. He had his leg broken, but he broke the man's head with a stone, and then broke the man's legs, and he was happy that his "turf" was saved again!
Because his "begging territory" and "little broken temple house" are both good places, but he is young and very thin, so many newcomers will hit his attention and grab his territory!
He had walked this road many times, and even with his eyes closed, he was able to walk back to the small ruined temple, and when the moon rose to the treetops, the wild beggar finally returned home!
But as soon as he reached the door, the wild beggar's face changed—the door was open!
He would carefully close the door every morning when he left, and now that it was open, "someone must have come to rob my house!"
The wild beggar thought so in his heart, but there was a fierce look in his eyes, his teeth clenched, and he pulled out a long stick from the weeds by the door!
This is his weapon, now he is exhausted and lame, but in order to keep his home, even if there are more people, he dares to fight hard!
Carrying a long stick, the wild beggar slowly walked into the broken temple, he walked very slowly, but he walked very steadily, and he couldn't see the appearance of a lame leg at all!
It's just that the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead and the face of clenching his teeth make him exposed!
However, who would notice such a dark sky?
The wild beggar cautiously and slowly walked into the ruined temple, and by the moonlight, he was surprised to find that there was not a trace of people in the ruined temple.
Until he walked into the ruined temple, the wild beggar did not see a person, and carefully inspected the small ruined temple to make sure that there was no one, and then he returned to his bed where the hay threw on the ground, held the stick, leaned against the offering table, and sat down.
At this moment, the wild beggar just felt the pain in his left leg!
The wild beggar moved his left leg, took out two wooden planks and a straw rope from under the offering table, clamped his left leg with a splint, and then tied it with a straw rope.
He had done this procedure many times, he was very proficient and fast, and it didn't take long for him to be dealt with.
Feeling that the pain in his left leg had subsided a lot, the wild beggar wiped his sweat all over his face, felt some thirst, and raised his hand to serve the bowl under the offering table.
Every day before going out, he would hide the kettle, bowls and saved dry food under the offering table, for him as a beggar, even a bowl is a very precious property, not to mention the dry food that has been saved so hard!
However, this touch shocked him, and he secretly said: "You won't recruit thieves!"
The wild beggar hurriedly turned around and lifted the rag covering the offering table, and sure enough, the kettle and dry food were gone, leaving only a broken bowl upside down!
"Upside down?"
The wild beggar frowned, he usually puts the bowl square, and never buckles upside down!
The wild beggar went to get the bowl painfully, this was his last possession.
"Even if you don't sleep tonight, you have to find a hidden place to hide!"
The wild beggar said secretly in his heart.
However, as soon as the bowl was opened, a golden gold ingot appeared in front of the wild beggar's eyes, which was particularly conspicuous in this dim ruined temple!
"How can there be a gold ingot?"
The wild beggar picked up the gold ingots with some trembling and held them tightly in the palm of his hand.
"The kettle and dry food have been taken away, but there is a gold ingot under the bowl?"
The wild beggar thought in his heart and guessed: "It should be the person who took the kettle and dry food!"
Although there is a feeling of a windfall, the wild beggar still chooses to believe his guess!
The next day, Ye Qi'er sewed the gold ingots into his pants, quietly left the small broken temple, and also left Xiangyun City, begging all the way, he came to a small town next to it, Qinyu Town!
He changed into a plain cloth robe, bought a small house facing the street, and gave it a new name - gold ingots!
With the only skill he stole to learn, he opened a steamed bun shop in the town, and since then, he has fulfilled his long-held dream of eating meat buns every day!
Gold ingots are particularly diligent, every morning before dawn to go to the butcher's house to buy freshly killed pork, the steamed buns are particularly delicious, there are many types, and the business is becoming more and more prosperous!
After two years, a big businessman took a fancy to his steamed bun shop, and the price was also very good, so Jin Yuan Bao closed the shop, and with two years of savings, he opened a small restaurant in the town!
In the past two years, he has visited a lot of winemaking masters, and also has some winemaking experience and skills, invited a few good cooks, with enthusiastic and honest service and self-created good wine, it didn't take long for the restaurant's business to flourish!
Then, Jin Yuan Bao began to open branches in the surrounding towns, and the business got better and better, and in just three years, he became the most wealthy merchant in the town!
The developed gold ingots are humble and kind, often give porridge to help the poor, make good friends, and his fame gradually spreads, so that his business is getting better and better, and even other industries involved for the first time are also very popular and popular!
Subsequently, Jin Yuanbao brought his family to Xiangyun City, and also focused on Xiangyun City, which has convenient transportation, and began to open branches in surrounding states and counties.
After more than 20 years of accumulation, Gold Ingot has become the richest man in Xiangyun City and even the surrounding states and counties, and its name is spread all over the world!
Suddenly, one day, a large number of officials and officers broke into his mansion and pressed him into prison without saying anything.
It turned out that it was the general of the state and county garrison and the government commander who coveted his property, fabricated charges, and robbed his family property. Overnight, not only did he have nothing, but he was also reduced to a prisoner.
Unexpectedly, in order to cover up the evidence of the crime, they not only sent someone to pretend to be a thief and kill his entire family, but also wanted to kill him in prison, pretending to commit suicide in fear of crime!
Fortunately, several people who had been favored by him managed to save him from prison, and although he saved his life, he will die from now on!
"It turns out that everything is just a dream!"
The gold ingot, dressed as a beggar, looked blankly at the "Golden Mansion" that was sealed, and recalled that in the past few decades, he racked his brains, worked hard, created a career, and pursued wealth and not being bullied!
Jian Qingyu ran frantically towards the outside of the city, and the pictures of the past few decades kept coming to his mind, remembering that he was bullied by others when he was a child, and he could only endure silently.
"Where is the true freedom?"
The gold ingots only ran exhausted, fell to the ground, his left hand was broken by a stone, and a large amount of blood flowed out, and he looked up to the sky and roared!
For a long time, the gold ingots slowly lowered their heads, looking at the palms where the blood was dripping and the scars on the palms!
These were the ones he left behind when he was a child struggling for survival, and once his hands were covered with blood more than once, and it hurt in his heart!
"The truly strong man is strong-willed! The real freedom is the freedom of the heart!"
A gentle voice suddenly echoed in the heart of the gold ingot, I don't know where it came from, or if it was his own heart!
