Zhu Xiu held a can of a man, and a bag on his shoulder, which contained a hundred cents of money. He walked with a rumbling sound.

Standing in front of the door of the mansion, Zhu Xiu walked along an alleyway to the south.

The "Chuan and Shu Cooked Fragrance Shop" introduced by Zhu Huiniang is located in the west of the city. Beifang is near the corner of the main street, and not far from the bustling Beicheng City.

Zhu Xiu still has a little expectation in his heart about life in the county town, but he should not hurry up and get to know each other. The best way is to leave in person.

Walking in the streets and alleys of Lifang where residents are concentrated, the disadvantages of urban management have become prominent these days.

There is no phenomenon of throwing domestic garbage in the streets and alleys. Even the leaves can be swept clean, but sewage flows everywhere, and there is basically no dry land on the road. The wet muddy roads make Zhu Xiu walk very carefully. He holds the Weng Can in one hand and the robe in the other, and walks on tiptoe through the bumpy sewage pits.

From time to time, the door of the back house creaked and opened. An aunt splashed out a basin of vegetable and rice water without saying a word. Then she grinned at Zhu Xiu who was fleeing in panic, and then slammed the door and closed it with a "bang".

Zhu Xiu secretly complained that he had taken the wrong path. In remote alleys like this, the doors of each household on both sides are the back doors of each household, and they are close to the kitchen. The daily sewage in daily life is splashed out directly.

Only the main street and alleys with many large families will a drainage ditch be opened under the base of the wall.

Zhu Xiu ran out of the alley as if he ran away, looking down at the wet, dirty and dirty cloth shoes that were so dirty that he was crying without tears.

After an afternoon of cleaning, I was covered in dust, undressed with a few black grays on my face. Now my feet and under the robe are splashed with mud, and my miserable look is no different from a little beggar.

Now he finally understood why people who have the conditions like to ride bicycles and horses when entering and leaving, and at the worst, they have to ride donkeys and mules. The road conditions are really bad and make people unable to get off their feet. They would rather make their butts bump a little more than maintain their minimum decentness.

Zhu Xiu sighed, sniffed hard, hugged the Weng Guan tightly, and was so hungry that he was rumbled. He didn't care about image management, so he had enough food to eat first.

After leaving the alley, Zhu Xiu turned several side streets and looked at the shop opposite the main street that surrounded many people. There was a bamboo pole next to it, with a guise hanging on the pole, and a few black characters on the white background could be vaguely seen: Sichuan and Shu cooked fragrant food shop.

Finally found it! Zhu Xiu swallowed hard, and it seemed that he had already smelled an old scent of braised fragrance in his breath...

"Hey~~ Let me give you! Let me give you! Let me pour gold juice! I don't care if it splashes on my body~~"

Suddenly, with a shout from behind, a strong stench came overwhelmingly, and the suffocating smell desperately drilled into Zhu Xiu's nostrils. He almost fainted when he turned his eyes!

He hurriedly raised his cuffs and covered his mouth and nose hard. Zhu Xiu turned around in horror and saw a young man in a ragged clothes walking towards him quickly, lowering his head, legs and feet.

The pedestrians on the road retreated one after another, looking at the young man who was in a disgusting way.

Zhu Xiu also quickly retreated to the street, looking at the two large buckets of feces that were swaying from time to time from time to time. Although his body was also dirty, he didn't want to get contaminated with feces and urine anymore.

For some reason, the young man who was walking fast with gold juice seemed to be unable to stop his steps and bumped towards Zhu Xiu!

At that moment, Zhu Xiu leaned against the wall, unable to retreat, his face was pale, his eyes widened in horror, his whole body tensed, and his mind was blank!

The young man carrying the load suddenly looked up and grinned with a bright smile!

His steps swirled, and two heavy buckets of gold juice rippled on his shoulders, and he rubbed against Zhu Xiu's body, like a gust of wind, leaving a strong smell of destruction...

Zhu Xiu closed his eyes tightly, not daring to breathe, but felt that time had stopped for a moment, and there seemed to be a jingle sound in his ears, as if something had fallen into the water...

When Zhu Xiu opened his eyes, the young man who picked up gold juice had already left. He still turned around and grinned at him, waved his hand: "I walked too fast and almost hit you! I'm sorry!"

Zhu Xiu pulled the corner of his mouth, and felt a feeling of feeling like a survivor after a disaster. Fortunately... I almost thought that I would have a feces and peeing today, which would have been a disaster for eight lifetimes!

Taking a few quick breaths of fresh air, Zhu Xiu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, cheered up his spirits, and walked towards the food shop across the street.

When I got closer, I found that it was not the guests who were surrounding the food shop, but a bunch of ragged beggars.

The owner of the food shop seemed to be a father and daughter, who were taking some scraps of leftover chicken, duck, sheep and pigs to share with the group of beggars.

At the entrance of the alley next to him, a little beggar in his teens suddenly rushed out, holding a firewood stick in his hand, shouting loudly at the group of companions who were fighting for a little bit of meat: "Brothers! The Ba family is serving porridge at the City God Temple today, let's go quickly! If it's too late, you won't get enough food to eat!"

The beggars surrounding the food shop followed the little beggar to the West Gate with a huh, buzzing and making a mess.

When the beggars ran past Zhu Xiu, someone bumped into him. Zhu Xiu staggered and screamed and fell to the ground hard!

"Squeeze~"

The can of the man in his arms smashed on the ground and suddenly shattered into countless pieces. Zhu Xiu lay on the ground in a daze, and the dust raised filled his eyes. He saw countless black barefoot boards running past him and leaving...

"...My jar...is broken..." Looking at the shattered ground in front of him, Zhu Xiu had the urge to cry.

"Ah!" A scream rang out from above his head, and a figure stood in front of him.

"Are you okay?" Zhu Xiu looked up blankly, and it turned out to be the girl in the food shop.

The girl with bright eyes and white teeth squatted down, with a faint blush left after busyness on her face, a little sweat stain on her temples, and her clear eyes were full of concern.

Zhu Xiu looked at her blankly, and saw her reflection from her dark eyes.

The owner of the food shop is a middle-aged man with thick arms, with an apron covered with oil on his waist and a white towel wrapped around his head.

Hearing the movement, the middle-aged man poked his head out and looked at it, smiled and shook his head, walked out with big strides, picked up one of Zhu Xiu's arms and pulled him from the ground.

The middle-aged man glanced at the broken Weng Guan and smiled strangely, "Young man, you don't need to bring such a big guy to beg for food, right? You're probably enough for ten people to eat this man. "

The middle-aged man patted Zhu Xiu's shoulder earnestly: "Even if you are beggars, you can't be too greedy. Otherwise, who dares to help you?"

The girl laughed out loud when she saw Zhu Xiu's dull and stupid look.

Zhu Xiu opened his mouth slightly and then realized that the owner of the food shop had mistakenly thought that he was also from the Beggars' Sect!

Zhu Xiu's face turned red in an instant, and waved his hands repeatedly and explained: "I'm not a beggar! I'm not here to beg for food! I... I'm here to buy meat! I'm here to buy your cooked food!"

"You buy meat?" The middle-aged man looked up and down at him, and somehow he picked up a pretty neat robe. He was so dirty that he looked tilted. He was wearing a tilted head, which was inappropriate and funny.

The middle-aged man frowned and said seriously: "It seems that you are not young anymore, you have hands and feet, so it's fine to beg for food, but why do you still learn to cheat? Look at your outfit, you learned from county students, right? You win sympathy as a poor scholar. Hey~ I have a good idea, but I have a bad mind!"

Zhu Xiu felt humiliated by dignity, and her face turned red with blood. She clenched her fists and said angrily: "I am a scholar! How can I cheat? Besides... I... I really come to buy meat!"

The middle-aged man lost his patience and pulled his daughter behind him, and said with a deep look: "You said you came to buy meat, can you bring money?"

Zhu Xiu slapped his forehead, felt confident, glared at him, and patted the bag on his shoulder: "Of course I bring money! More than a hundred ounces! Is it enough to buy this man of cooked meat?"

As he said that, Zhu Xiu quickly took off the bag, but as soon as he took it off, he felt something was wrong. Why did this bag become much lighter?

"Money... Where is the money!" Zhu Xiu searched for the bag and shook it hard, and two copper plates fell to the ground.

Unfortunately, no matter how Zhu Xiu searched, he brought more than 100 cents when he went out, and except for these two eldest sons, everything else disappeared!

Zhu Xiu looked at the bottom of the bag with a long cut hole, and then he realized that his money... was stolen!

The middle-aged man bent down and picked up two copper plates, weighed them and said with a smile: "You can buy a duck butt for two cents, but you don't think you are lying."

Zhu Xiu's ears were buzzing, his face was dull and he could not hear any sounds from the outside world.

He couldn't recall at all when more than one hundred cents were stolen from him.

The middle-aged man winked at his daughter, the girl smiled with her lips, turned around and went into the food shop. After a while, she wrapped a chicken leg and a pancake in jute paper.

"Hold it!" The girl stuffed the thing into Zhu Xiu's hand, and her voice was as beautiful as a yellow oriole, "You are not allowed to lie again in the future!"

The middle-aged man stuffed two cents into Zhu Xiu's clothes, looked at his stupid look, shook his head and sighed, and took his daughter back to the shop, muttering while walking.

"This little boy looks good, but he is stupid. He dares to lie to others like this. Sooner or later he will be beaten!"

"Dad~~ He has his hands and feet, why don't he find work?"

"Oh~ These young people are lazy and have poor minds. In order to get money quickly, they want to go on a wrong path. Today they can pretend to be a beggar and beg for food, and tomorrow they can pretend to be a scholar to cheat money. If they grow up, they will have to go to the evil path of killing people and robbing people, and sooner or later they will lose their lives! Forget it, don't care about such people in the future, and it is not worth sympathy~~"

"But Dad, I see that he is stupid, doesn't he look like a villain?"

"Daughter, you are still young and have never experienced the dangers of the world. People like this know people and face but not the heart. It is difficult to distinguish between good and evil. Be careful and be careful!"

Behind him, Zhu Xiu held the hot paper bag and suddenly cried out with a "wow". Tears splashed, so sad. It was more than a hundred cents, but it disappeared!

The owner of the food shop and the girl turned around and looked at her. The girl frowned and whispered sympathetically: "He cried so pitifully~~"

The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed, and said with a little relief: "He can know how to repent, which means there is still some saving..."

~~

To the west of the county town, beside a fork river, the young man carrying gold juice spread a fishing net, plugged his nostrils, and poured the manure from one of the wooden barrels on the fishing net.

The manure water was poured out, and a pile of copper coins were left on the fishing net.

The boy laughed and wrapped the fishing net, stood by the river bank, threw the fishing net into the water, and cleaned the copper coins he had kept.

Holding up a heavy bag of money, the boy looked proud. When he recalled the prey just now, the boy rubbed his chin and laughed.
