Chapter 335 Don't bully the youth
As long as you have money, a hawker can become a shopkeeper.
Facts have proved that the ancients were more diligent and thrifty. Even if it rained heavily, they would only brave the rain to find a place to hide and wait for the rain to stop. Occasionally they would get caught in the rain. They were confident in their own health. Ordinary people would not spend money on umbrellas, preferring economical and affordable bucket hats.
In just a short time, all the bamboo hats were sold out, and only two oil-paper umbrellas were sold.
I laughed at myself, but I didn't expect to accidentally open a luxury store. Needless to say, poor people would not buy bamboo flutes, cucurbits and silk. The status of actors and musicians was low, so they could only be sold to singers from wealthy families or to brothel theaters.
The middle-aged couple were still drinking tea and discussing the fragrance of tea leaves in whispers.
Raindrops fell like a waterfall from the eaves of the green tiles, and the streets were deserted for a short while. The domesticated civet cat next door squatted in Baiyu's shop, waiting for the rain to stop. It jumped up on the counter with a very familiar tiǎn), wet its paws to wash its face, and took care of its appearance meticulously. Finally,
Then he found a comfortable place and lay down in the peasant's bed.
He took out the dried fish from his pocket.
The fat civet cat raised its head and stared at the dried fish tiǎn) lips with big cute eyes.
Bai Yu looked at the dried fish and looked at the fat cat, and reluctantly gave the delicious food to the gluttonous and sleepy big-faced cat. The cat didn't leave after getting the dried fish, but lay on the counter and gnawed at it.
Extremely bored, I took out the salt and licked it, making a rustling sound
Everyone, one big and one small, is eating.
Being able to drink salt when you have nothing to do on a rainy day is definitely a luxurious way to show off your wealth.
The couple looked at the shopkeeper strangely, a little surprised that some people can tolerate the bitterness of salt. The salt of this era is not very pure and is quite bitter. It is okay for cooking, but it is difficult to eat it directly.
Bai Yu doesn’t care, tiǎn) it’s better to go to the mountains and eat dirt and rocks.
Just stay quietly like this.
The rain gradually subsided, and the couple left with an umbrella. The shop became quieter. The fat cat finished eating the dried fish and washed his face with his paws. Behind the counter, the little girl was holding salt cubes and moving more and more tiǎn).
Slowly, finally I tilted my head and breathed softly, falling asleep.
sleep soundly
Was woken up in the evening.
I raised my head to wipe off my saliva, and saw a large family across the street making a lot of noise, and several servants beating a young man with sticks.
The person who was beaten was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in coarse cloth. The stick made a loud bang without making a sound. He did not cry out or beg for mercy. He stared at the gate of the large courtyard with fierce eyes, as if he had a blood feud.
"Oh, this world."
The old woman selling sesame seeds next to her shook her head and sighed, maybe she knew something.
Bai Yu has no intention of saving anyone. This kind of thing happens every day. Who cares? It's nothing more than powerful and powerful families bullying the poor, either for the title of the house, or for the three-thirds of an acre of farmland. Even if
It doesn't matter if a person is beaten to death. If you collude with the government and slap a label on you, your family will be harmed.
"Isn't that the boy who sells fish from the city? How did he offend the Song family?" passersby were curious.
Grandma took out the sesame cakes from the stove and patted away the ashes.
"The Song family saw the ancestral graves of the doll family and wanted to dig ditches. The dolls are not for sale. Now there is no land and no money. The ancestral graves have been torn apart and the huts have been bulldozed. Today, I came to the door to explain and was beaten."
The onlookers shook their heads and sighed. Bullying of men and women was very common. This ancient era was very dark.
Bai Yu was busy closing the stall and too lazy to watch the fuss.
I took off the paper umbrella and put it away in the shop. When I couldn't reach it, I moved a bamboo stool to step on it. The rainwater soaked the house and washed it very clean. The lazy cat stretched and ran wild without knowing where to go.
He picked up the heavy door panels and pieced them together to block the door. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the half-grown boy lying in the mud.
A lot of work in hand.
The fortune-telling talent has seen a different destiny. The half-grown boy who looks like a dead dog now will have an extraordinary destiny in the future. He will be a powerful person. His life cannot be evaluated based on his current situation.
"Don't bully young people into being poor. It makes sense."
After thinking about it, I spent four cents to buy two sesame seed cakes. I stood on my tiptoes and carefully avoided the muddy puddles and stepped on the stones. I walked up to the limp half-grown boy. I looked around and saw that it was okay. All the bones were injured and were fine.
"Hey, wake up, are you still alive?"
The dark-skinned boy moved and struggled to raise his head. The sweet and sweet voice made him feel very safe.
Looking up, he was stunned
When he was beaten, bruised and confused, the fairy in the sky that his mother told him about when he was a child appeared in front of him. She was so beautiful that he felt ashamed. When he grew up, he knew that the stories were all lies and there were no fairies at all.
There was only endless work and a belly that was never full, but now he felt that the story was true.
The golden afterglow of the sunset makes the fairy appear beautiful.
Bai Yu frowned, this look made the snake feel uncomfortable, and seemed to be a little aggressive.
Throw two sesame seed cakes into his hand.
"The most important thing is to live. Don't die. The city gate is closed at night and you can't get out. Just find a place to stay."
Pianpian left, stepped on the stones and returned to the shop to continue busy closing the stall, installing the last few door panels and bolting them. I just did a trivial thing, which can be considered a good relationship. It is better to have a good relationship than to offend each other.
people.
As night falls, it is a sunny day, and the night after the rain is particularly refreshing.
I moved a deck chair under the flower tree and stared at the light blue starry sky in a daze, trying my best to let my short-sighted eyes see the stars clearly, as well as the huge blue-white planets that are relatively close. The starry sky is more beautiful and quieter than that world before.
The small courtyard is peaceful and the world is chaotic.
There are rebellions and wars in many parts of the world. The Northland is about to be destroyed. The foreign races outside the customs have taken the opportunity to go south and occupy large areas of land.
Bai Yu had no idea of taking advantage of the opportunity to participate in the war to gain the final benefit, nor did he plot against the poor humans struggling in dire straits for the sake of profit. He just wanted to wait quietly for more than a hundred years to turn into a dragon.
"yawn"
He found a comfortable position and fell asleep.
After falling asleep, the body's instinct takes over and the body unconsciously bends into a ball, coiled up like a snake under the flower tree.
A night of silence.
early morning.
When Bai Yu opened the door, he saw the half-grown boy sleeping all night under the eaves in front of his shop. His blood was covered in scabs. He had eaten one and a half sesame cakes and had half of the cake left. His blood-stained and dusty hands tightly held the last half of the cake.
Forget it, just treat it as a neighbor's cat intruding on the territory and ignore it.
He removed the door panels piece by piece and moved them aside, used wooden forks to prop up the windows, took out the paper umbrellas from the house, spread them out and hung them up. Suddenly, the door of the shop became colorful and beautiful.
The half-grown boy who was huddled under the eaves woke up and was stunned when he saw the paper umbrellas hanging high above his head.
I looked curiously at the fairy-like girl who brought out a black wooden board and a strange little thing to write on. She wrote a few words and drew some beautiful lace.
The billboard written by Bai Yu, other stores don't pay attention to advertising, but snakes care.
The swarthy boy said goodbye to his benefactor after finishing up the sesame cakes.
"Thank you very much"
Maybe it was because he had been poor and worked hard since he was a child and didn't have much experience in life. As a young man, he couldn't say anything about repaying kindness, and he just bowed down and clasped his fists to salute symbolically.
"Nothing."
After a simple conversation, we continue to be busy with the goods and prepare to start the day's business.
The dark-skinned young man glanced at Bai Yu and turned away, limping, walking awkwardly but firmly. The content of the chapter is being restored, please visit again later. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "New White Snake Asks the Immortal"
