The latter looked at the black-faced man held by Shen Tang in shock and fear.
She was afraid that the ferocious wild boar would rush up and trample her to death. But she did not dare to say anything to chase them away, so she could only cower and tremble.
The woman closed her eyes in almost despair, but no matter how scared she was, she never let go of her son in her arms. This scene moved people and raised eyebrows. Of course, only Qi Shan and the other two were moved.
Other people have long been hard-hearted and are not surprised by strange things.
Either his eyes were numb and he was in a trance, or his lips were curled up in schadenfreude, waiting to see a good show and relieve the pressure.
"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt anyone."
"Can I see your child?"
Hearing the words, the woman looked up hesitantly at the young girl in front of her. Although the girl's facial features were not open, she could predict that many years later, they would be filled with the word "美丽". This girl and her companion, It is incompatible with this land.
The woman hesitated for a moment and slowly let go of her arms.
Shen Tang squatted down and touched the pulse point on the side of the child's wrist. But as soon as her fingertips touched that layer of skin, before she could even take a closer look at the pulse, she felt a thump in her heart - because the skin touched by her fingertips was cold and stiff. There was no pulse at all.
Looking at the child who was curled up quietly and taking a nap in his mother's arms, Shen Tang's pupils trembled slightly. Facing the woman's expectant gaze, he could not utter a single word. The child's head was facing the woman's arms. Because of her previous hugging posture, Shen Tang He didn't realize that the child had died.
Shen Tang lowered his head and retracted his hand.
The woman was completely unaware and asked, "Madam, do you want to buy my son?"
Zhai Le was sensitive to breath and could tell early in the morning that the child was out of breath. Hearing the conversation between Shen Tang and Shen Tang, he was about to say something but Qi Shan raised his hand to stop him. He hesitated on the spot, what he wanted to say in his heart was lost. The mixed fermentation turned into a complex short sigh.
Brother Shen looks like he is new to the world, and he is soft-hearted about everything.
He had seen too many similar scenes.
Sometimes he couldn't help but question himself, what's his use? Why can't he help these people even though he has learned martial arts?
Powerless, powerless to change.
Brother Shen has a pure mind, so I'm afraid it will be even more uncomfortable.
Shen Tang nodded: "Well, buy it, how much?"
If ordinary people called her "Ms.", Shen Tang would probably complain about someone's bad eyesight, but the woman's "Ms." made her feel unspeakably sour. She blinked and tried to explain away the inexplicable words. The surge of sourness was suppressed.
The woman's cloudy and tired eyes suddenly lit up.
"No, not much, four or forty coins."
Probably because he was too excited, his voice was thin and trembling, and his tongue was so anxious that he wanted to fight with his teeth, and he almost bit the tip of his tongue.
"Yes, I bought it."
The woman choked with sobs and thanked her: "Okay...thank you, thank you!"
"Do you have any other requests, madam?"
The woman was confused for a moment when asked.
After a long while, the rusty and jammed parts in her brain began to function feebly and slowly, and she understood Shen Tang's words. She hesitated: "Mom, can you... can you let him eat a little? He is very good and doesn't eat much. , obedient, sensible and filial..."
As he spoke, muddy tears fell from his eyes one by one.
Tick tick tick tick, dripping on the child's already blue side face.
The woman also murmured how well-behaved and obedient the child was.
Shen Tang said: "Well, this is no problem."
She counted forty coins and handed it to the woman, and also added a piece of cake. This transaction caused whispers from nearby "stalls".
Shen Tang heard it clearly and lowered his eyes and ignored it.
He just clenched his teeth secretly and tightened the flesh of his cheeks.
The man whispered: "Is this woman sick? The baby has been cold all day... The baby's mother is an adulterer, and she will be sold alive for a living price."
Another person posted it and said: "Why don't women work better than us men? If we cry, the money will come, so we can buy a dead body and take it back. Tsk, you prodigal bitch, you're giving money to help others collect the body..."
The third person smacked his mouth and rolled his eyes: "Humph, she was lucky enough to meet a stupid bitch. A dead girl, it's good to be able to sell it for five cents. She doesn't have a few taels of meat, so she has to pay for firewood..."
Someone else laughed maliciously and said, "You're going to be fooled!"
In the past, there was no shortage of "sellers" who took advantage of the sympathy of strange buyers to extort people and money. Scammers had many tricks. They expected Shen Tang to look ashamed, embarrassed, angry and annoyed when he found out that he had been cheated. That kind of powerless rage. The expression is quite relieved.
Shen Tang ignored these voices.
The woman gingerly accepted the money and caressed her son's cheek reluctantly, as if it was the most precious treasure in the world.
In the end, he was determined and prepared to hand over the child.
Unexpectedly, Shen Tang raised his hand and declined: "I still have things to do, so I don't have time to do anything. Can I take your child away after I'm done?"
When the woman heard that she could still stay with the child for a while, she burst into tears with excitement. She knelt on the ground with a plop, held the child in her arms and kowtowed to Shen Tang several times, saying more than once: "Okay, okay... Thank you Bodhisattva, thank you Living Bodhisattva..." …”
Shen Tang led the black-faced man to get up and return to Qi Shan.
Qishan: "Aren't you worried that she will lie to you?"
Shen Tang was immersed in her own world, and it took a while for Qishan's words to be conveyed. She suddenly came back to her senses, pursed her dry lips, and replied: "It can't be a liar... If it is really a liar... who lied to me? Money, who do I want half of my life for?"
Qishan: "..."
Zhai Le: "???"
Shouldn’t the point be to deceive feelings?
Qishan felt that Mr. Shen Xiaolang was too soft-hearted, and was about to give an explanation when he heard Shen Tang ask: "Yuanliang, everyone comes naked with tears and howls, and leaves naked with mourning. Since If you are destined to die at birth, what is the meaning of survival?”
She asked: "Is living just to endure hardship?"
What is the difference between living in the present and going down to earth to experience calamity?
A tragedy similar to that of a woman can be seen within a few steps.
Is she really in the earthly world right now?
The underworld is no different, right?
Shen Tang's purchase of a corpse that had been suffocated by Guanyin soil for forty coins had long been noticed by interested people, and some people tried to do the same thing to impress this kind-hearted prodigal woman.
As a result, Shen Tang never stopped, which was frustrating.
Praying for kindness moved in my heart.
Normally he would be too lazy to answer questions like this.
However, the person who asked the question was the always noisy Mr. Shen Xiaolang, which added a little more special meaning. He said: "I am alive just to leave a trace that belongs to the person 'Qishan' alone."
Shen Tang asked Zhai Le again: "Where is Xiaofang?"
Zhai Le touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Me? My ideas are a bit big. Don't laugh when I say it. I want to lead my men and assist my brother in pacifying the southeast."
As expected, Shen Tang burst into laughter.
Zhai Le was furious: "I promised not to laugh!"
"I didn't promise not to laugh. Your idea is indeed good, but are you a little timid? Are you satisfied with just one piece of Southeast Asia? You should learn from me how to open up the pattern-"
Zhai Le asked: "How to open up the pattern?"
Shen Tang paused, squinting and thinking.
Made a demonstration——
"For example - I want to bring peace to the world!"
Qishan's hands trembled and he looked at the young man.
Under the sunlight, the young man's black pupils showed a little dark brown, and for a moment, he even thought he was not joking.
Zhai Le: "Are you dreaming?"
Shen Tang curled his lips: "Aren't you dreaming too? Since it's all a dream, why not get it right in one step? Don't you think so?"

Thank you for every vote you cast.
Let me report the victory to everyone. There were 4,766 monthly votes in September, ranking third (each vote was crowdfunded and rewarded by everyone, one vote at a time. In the heart of Shiitake, it has a much higher gold content than the first one, much more than gold. Du Zhen), in the new January, I will try my best to update more to reward everyone. For example, starting from the National Day, I will update three times a day for seven days, hehe.
PS: Good guy, I almost got robbed in the last few minutes. The fourth place went up by a thousand in the last few minutes. It was really dangerous to hold on to the chrysanthemum. The exciting battlefield is not so exciting.
