Chapter 122: The Beggar's Tale
"Where are we going to eat?" "Is there anything better to eat nearby?" the bear walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, and turned to the beggar to ask.
At this moment, the beggar's eyes began to shine, "Yes, yes, yes! The Wuwei Building in the center of the city is very good, the meat made in it is fragrant, I can smell it clearly across the five streets, and the wine is definitely a good wine, ten miles of fragrance!"
Xiong smiled, he didn't expect a beggar to have eaten meat and drank wine, and he himself hadn't eaten meat or drunk wine for a while. "Since you understand so well, then you lead the way, let's eat more meat and drink more wine tonight. ”
"Okay!" the beggar shouted, and ran in front of him, leading the way for the bear, "Big brother, you follow closely, it's not far ahead." ”
Finally, after turning left and right, the beggar took the bear to the door of the Five Flavors Building. The beggar was a little excited, but he didn't dare to go in.
"Why don't you go in?" asked the bear, looking at the beggar with some confusion.
"Big brother, it's better for you to go in first. The beggar did not answer the bear, but said with some embarrassment.
Xiong didn't think much about it, and walked into the Wuwei Building with a step. But as soon as the bear walked in, a shopkeeper ran over, took the linen cloth on his body and drove the bear away, "Get out of the way, call Hanako, and don't look at what place this is." I'm telling you, this is Wuwei Building, not a place you can come to!"
Another guy who looks down on people. Xiong Er didn't say a word, and didn't pay attention to the shopkeeper, but walked to an empty table and sat down, and poured the silver in the money bag in his hand on the table in a hurry.
This move directly frightened Xiao Er speechless, more than three hundred taels of silver, that is not a small amount, even the guests who ate next to him were all suppressed, this person is a little too ruthless, he dares to show off with so much silver. In these years, there is a shortage of soldiers, don't be robbed by others.
Xiong looked at Xiao Er's stunned eyes, and said with a smile, "Now, tell me, is this the place I should come to?"
What else can the shopkeeper say at this time? Even if he doesn't look at the bear, he has to look at the money on the table, and immediately slapped himself in the face: "Oh, this guest officer, you see that I forgot to brush my teeth when I got up this morning, and my mouth stinks, I'm really embarrassed, don't be weird, don't be like me." ”
Xiong couldn't help grinning, and sure enough, the charm of money is so great. It is true that money can make ghosts push and grind, and it is not impossible that money can make ghosts push ghosts.
"Come in!" only then did the bear wave to the beggar at the door, signaling the beggar to come in.
When the beggar saw that the bear was all right sitting there, he hurried a few steps to the bear's side. This beggar is used to begging every day, and his inferiority complex is quite strong, and he feels a kind of loss when he looks at the strange eyes of the people around him.
"He's my friend, I'll let him sit next to me, no problem?" Xiong smiled and asked the shopkeeper again.
Unless the shopkeeper doesn't want to do it here, it is impossible to say no. "No problem, you have the final say, guest officer. Xiao Er followed the meaning of the bear very much, "Look at it, we have everything, what do you want to do?"
"Don't you know very well? Come, you can order food, you can order whatever you want. The bear gave the beggar the right to order food at once, and he lay on the table, as if thinking about something.
The beggar was very happy, and chattered with the shopkeeper about this and that, and after talking for a while, the beggar stopped.
At this time, Xiong slowly straightened up and said to the beggar, "Today, thank you for helping me find such a way to make money, but I have to leave tomorrow, tonight's wine and food, even if I thank you." ”
When the beggar heard this, he was stunned, "Let's go, big brother, why are you leaving? If you stay for another day, the final prize in the ring will be 1,000 taels of silver, which is basically yours!"
Xiong smiled and shook his head, "Money is something outside the body, how much is a lot, as long as it is enough, isn't it okay?"
The beggar did not understand what the bear said. In the beggar's heart, of course, the more money the better, as long as he is given a chance to make money, he will definitely not give up.
But the bear's breezy performance really made the beggar a little incomprehensible.
Seeing that the beggar still wanted to speak, Xiong then raised a hand and waved, "Don't say it again, I have made up my mind, eat and drink well in a while, drink two more glasses, don't you like to eat the wine and food here?"
At this moment, the beggar was a little silent, and after a while, the beggar slowly spoke, "Actually, more than 20 years ago, I ate the wine and food here. But after a long time, I can't remember the taste of the food here, but in my heart, from time to time, a thought comes to me, thinking about the fragrant dishes here. ”
"Oh?" said the bear from the beggar's words, and the beggar was also a man with a past, "and why did you end up in such a field?"
The beggar shook his head and sighed deeply, "It's all my own sin, I married a beautiful daughter-in-law when I was young and gave birth to a lovely son, but I was contaminated with gambling, and if I gambled, I lost a mess." But the more I lost, the more I wanted to gamble, so I lost all my money. ”
"What about your wife and children?" Xiong couldn't help asking.
"At that time, I lost all the money I had, and I actually thought of taking a mortgage on my house, but my house and my land were all lost, and I was already penniless. However, even though I was penniless, my daughter-in-law was willing to stay with me, and she said that as long as I quit gambling, she would be willing to accompany me to earn back all the losses I had lost. The beggar's eyes were hazy when he said this.
"She is indeed a good woman, you should cherish it!" Xiong couldn't help but sigh, for this beggar, he suddenly sprouted a feeling of envy, how happy it was to be able to live with the person he loved. But thinking back to his beloved Lan, there is an inexplicable pain in Xiong's heart, perhaps, this life is destined to be lonely, right?
The beggar's tears couldn't be stopped, and they flowed out in an uproar, "I'm sorry for my daughter-in-law, I was red-eyed at the time, and I actually used my daughter-in-law as a mortgage and lost to others, and my son was also taken away by others." ”
Xiong was stunned, he couldn't imagine what this person thought, his wife and children were his dearest people, how ruthless did he have to be to take out his wife and children as collateral?
