After leaving the county government office, Chang Yuan personally escorted the two of them out.
When he came out, the beaten door was still outside the door. Although the blood on his face was wiped away, the scars were still there. The cold and cruel hands made this kid turn into a pig's head.
I thought that the county magistrate would call Su Ren and Leng Jun in to make a good repair, but they didn't expect that they would come out fine. The housekeeper Chang Yuan still had a smile on his face, and when he arrived at the door, he saluted and said goodbye. This made Menzi's heart turn upside down.
His liver was completely broken. When he saw Su Renhe Lengjun again, he couldn't help but cover his pig-headed face and took two steps back.
Su Ren smiled, took out a few copper coins from his sleeves, threw them towards the door, and said loudly: "This is for you."
Menzi's eyes lit up, and he quickly lay on the ground and picked up a few copper coins. He instantly felt that the beating he received was not in vain. You know, the five baht coins in the Han Dynasty were very valuable. After Wenjing's rule, the economic foundation of the Han Dynasty
It's quite good. There are plenty of items on the market and the prices are relatively low. The price of one stone of rice is only five yuan, which is five coins and five baht. After beating the disciple, he can get back one stone of rice, which is enough for the whole family to eat for half a month. It is indeed a good profit.
Already.
It was almost the second watch when Chang Yuan and Menzi sent Su Ren and Leng Jun away with smiles on their faces.
Su Ren and Leng Jun were the only two people left on the empty street. Su Ren had the five hundred dollars that Chang Shi had just given him in his sleeves, feeling happy. This was the first money he earned after coming to Dahan, although
There were some twists and turns in the process, but the results were quite good.
Seeing Leng Jun's bad expression, Su Ren had already guessed why he was angry, and put his arm around Leng Jun's shoulders: "What's wrong? Now we are also rich people, why are we unhappy?"
Leng Jun shook off Su Ren's hand, glanced at Su Ren, and gritted his teeth: "What a wonderful two treasures, just given to the county magistrate. I don't even know what you think."
Su Ren smiled and said: "Baby? Do you really think that is a baby?"
"Isn't it true? I'm afraid you'll never find something so round and transparent again in the world, right?"
"That's right, hey!" Su Ren sighed: "But think about it, what situation are we in now? We have to eat but not eat, and we have to wear nothing to wear. Those two things can neither be eaten nor eaten.
If you can't wear them, what's the use of keeping them? It's better to sell them to get some money and buy some grain. To tell you the truth, when I looked at these two things in the forest, I wished they were bread or biscuits. There really weren't any.
What a pity, to put it bluntly, you are just human nature causing trouble."
"What's the meaning?"
“I just can’t see clearly what I need.”
Su Ren ignored Leng Jun and strode forward. As he walked, he waved to Leng Jun, who was in a daze, to follow him: "Hurry up, we have to find a place to rest. It's already the middle of the night, so sleepy."
Wenshui County is located in a remote place, with no merchants coming and going, and the county is in a dilapidated state. There is no inn in the entire county. If you want to sleep, a dilapidated house is the best place. The two wandered around, and found a secluded place in the east of the city.
I found someone's firewood shed in the alley. Since I had no place to go, it was just fine to stay here for the night.
Leng Jun had been accustomed to being hungry and suffering since he was a child. Su Ren had been hiding in the woods for a few days, and had tasted all kinds of things in the world. The two looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and got in.
The woodshed is not big, just big enough for two people to squeeze in. Pulling the straw around them twice can keep out the cold. If they huddle together and rely on each other's bodies for warmth, it is not difficult to make do with it and get through the night.
Now that I have money in my pocket, I feel happy even if I am lying on the firewood pile. These five hundred dollars can be exchanged for one hundred stones of grain and rice. The three of them save some food and have a year's rations. What is the concept of this?
According to modern money calculations, if you spend ten yuan per meal and eat two meals a day, one person will earn twenty yuan a day, which is more than seven thousand yuan a year. A year's ration for three people, that's
More than 20,000 yuan, which is a lot of income now.
Leng Jun couldn't sleep, so he said to Su Ren beside him: "Su Ren, we will exchange all the money for rice tomorrow. Do we have to hire a car to transport it back? We just can't carry it."
Su Ren nodded, closed his eyes and did not answer the cold words. In his opinion, five hundred coins were just five hundred copper coins, and he had no understanding of the value of these five hundred coins. He didn't know what the five hundred coins were.
What price.
"Look, with these five hundred dollars, we still have a piece of land behind the Taoist temple with more than 20 mulberry trees, and we can also earn some income. Calculating this, we won't have to worry about food in two years."
Su Ren became sleepy and didn't listen much to Leng Jun's ideas for his future life. He only wanted to sleep. But Leng Jun kept buzzing in his ears and said he wanted to buy a gift for Leng Yue. Su Ren kept talking.
The snoring started, and then he covered the two of them with straw more thickly, then turned around and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Su Ren and Leng Jun were sleeping soundly, when suddenly they felt someone kicked them hard on their butts. Su Ren turned around, muttered something in his mouth, and continued to sleep. Leng Jun, however, crawled.
He stood up and grabbed the chest of the man who kicked him with one hand. He felt a ball of flesh being squeezed in his hand, and immediately realized something was wrong. Before he could let go, he heard a scream like a butchering pig: "Dengtu
Son, here comes someone! I’m a disciple!”
Leng Jun quickly let go. Opposite him stood an unkempt old lady, covering her chest with both hands. Her eyes were full of tears, and she was about to commit suicide because of her grievance. Leng Jun's face was red, and the hand of a milk-grabbing dragon was still in the same shape as before.
I couldn't even break it straight, so I stood there dumbly.
Su Ren was awakened by the scream, relying on thousands of years of experience to instantly understand what happened just now. He raised his head and glanced at the aunt, she was already quite old, and her chest was quite full. Leng Jun must have felt good just now. Seeing that
People on both sides who had just gotten up gathered around and glared at each other.
Su Ren originally wanted to tease Leng Jun, but the time was not right at the moment, so he quickly changed his face and pointed at the woman and yelled: "You thief woman, we two brothers are just staying in your woodshed for one night, extorting money."
It’s just money, but you still accuse me and me of being deceitful, without even looking at what you look like? Even if we two have intentions, we won’t do anything to you.”
Su Ren raised his fists towards the people watching outside: "All the neighbors are here today. Please bear witness to my two brothers. My senior brother and I are the disciples of Wenling Laojun Guan Chongxu. We entered the city late yesterday.
, I couldn’t go back after finishing my work, so I slept in this woodshed. Unexpectedly, when I woke up in the morning, this woman actually asked us for five yuan. Where did we get the money? When we failed to beg, she even slandered our brothers, everyone.
The neighbors commented that my master, Taoist Master Chongxu, is also a well-known good man in the nearby mountain villages. As their disciple, how could he do such immoral things?"
Maybe the reputation of this woman's family in this area is not very good. The onlookers changed their attitudes instantly. The fierce look in their eyes disappeared and was replaced by contempt for the woman. The reputation of Chongxu Lao Dao is very high in Wenshui County.
It was completely beyond Su Ren's understanding that a small place could be so effective. It seems that in ancient times when information was not very developed, as long as a person left a reputation, it would be a flag in the hearts of everyone.
There were both men and women watching, and it was hard for men to say anything. Those women who liked to gossip had already begun to point fingers at the woman who was already crying.
Su Ren clasped his fists again: "Dear neighbors, this woman must have been forced by life to make this move. Since our brothers can't live in vain at someone else's place for one night, we do have some money on us. Today
Just use two coins as a gift, which can be regarded as rent money. You neighbors don't have to embarrass this woman. It's not easy for everyone. No one wants to do this for the sake of livelihood. I hope that all my neighbors will be generous and stop blaming this woman."
After hearing Su Ren's words, everyone in the crowd nodded slightly. Some people had already begun to murmur: "After all, he is a disciple of Taoist Master Chongxu. He is thorough in his words and actions, and repays evil with kindness. His reputation is well-deserved."
An elderly man stepped forward and raised his hand to Su Ren: "Everything the boy said makes sense. I am the third elder in the local area. What happened today is the woman's fault. However, this boy can repay evil with kindness. I will take my place for this guy."
The woman thanked the boy." She turned around and said to everyone: "It's time to leave. The matter has been dealt with. There is still work to do today. Don't crowd around here any more and delay the boy's schedule."
Su Ren took out two five-baht coins from his sleeves and handed them to the three elders. He said goodbye and everyone pulled the silly Leng Jun away from the place of trouble and hurriedly. A mistake that was originally their fault was resolved so easily.
Along the way, Leng Jun was staring at Su Ren, with all kinds of questions in his eyes. Su Ren was a little embarrassed when he stared at him, and slapped Leng Jun on the back: "What are you looking at? Don't you know me?"
"
Leng Jun nodded: "I really don't know you anymore. I used to think you were a bit smart. I won't talk about what happened last night. It was clearly our fault just now. How come we instantly became victims when you said it? What a mouthful you have.
How did it grow? What are you thinking about?"
Su Ren smiled: "Don't worry about what I think. Let me ask you first, does it feel comfortable to touch the woman's chest?"
His stern expression changed instantly, and he glared at Su Ren fiercely.
Su Ren laughed loudly: "Let's go quickly. We have to do business. We can't delay it because of a trivial matter. Your sister Leng Yue is still starving in the Taoist temple! We haven't had breakfast either."
Leng Jun really wanted to slap this Su Ren to death, but he had already raised his hand. Su Ren quickly took a few steps back, looked at Leng Jun and said: "What? You want to kill people and silence them? Believe it or not, before you hit me, the whole Wen Shui
Everyone in the county will know that Taoist Master Chongxu’s disciple is a deceitful disciple, and everyone in the county will drown you with their saliva.”
"Hey!" Leng Jun sighed and put down his hand: "I regret it now. If I had known you were such a person, I shouldn't have saved you."
Su Ren chuckled: "It's too late. Now that you have the leverage in my hands, it's really too late to say this." (To be continued)
