Happy Little Scholar
Chapter 45: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
Qing'an Fucheng is a big city, so if you want to spread the candied haws of sugarcane as quickly as possible, you will certainly need a lot of manpower.
It is obviously not enough to rely on Lao Fang alone.
Several people parted at the gate of the city. Li Yi followed Lao Fang and listened to him bragging about how popular he was with those naughty kids yesterday. When he walked to a certain street, Lao Fang was shocked and looked at the familiar place. street corner.
More than a dozen naughty children were gathered around, their faces full of anxiety.
"What candied haws on a stick? Did you lie to us?"
"Lying is a puppy, it really happened yesterday!"
"Why didn't that uncle come today?"
"Are there no candied haws on a stick today?"
…
…
The naughty child was running around in circles. For the first time this morning, he didn't sleep in. He woke up all his friends early in the morning, asked for a few copper coins from their parents, and rushed here in a hurry.
However, what disappoints them is that the uncle who sold candied haws yesterday is not here.
Even a few naughty kids searched the area but couldn't find a vendor selling candied haws.
The naughty children became even more anxious when they thought that they would never be able to eat those sweet and sour candied haws again.
"Look, that uncle is here!"
I don't know who shouted first. Several naughty children turned around and saw that familiar figure standing on the street. The next moment they saw the candied haws they had been longing for.
Wow!
Yesterday's scene happened again.
"Uncle, I want two skewers!"
"I want three skewers!"
"This is twenty coins, give me four strings!"
------
------
The naughty children rushed over each other, stretching out their little hands one by one and stuffing the copper coins into Lao Fang's arms, for fear that all the candied haws would be bought by others if it was too late.
Seeing the naughty children leaving one by one with satisfaction, and more than half of the candied haws, Lao Fang's face was full of smiles.
This made him feel one step closer to his dream.
However, compared to the feeling of realizing his dream, another feeling came faster and faster. Not long after, Lao Fang held his stomach, bowed his waist and said to Li Yi: "Uncle, please take care of me here for a while. I’ll go make it easy!”
Before Li Yi could nod, Lao Fang disappeared in a flash.
Li Yi originally wanted to walk around the city, but now he can only wait for Lao Fang to come back.
After a while, a few more bunches of candied haws were sold.
Almost all the buyers are naughty children, or some adults who are pestered by naughty children. Occasionally, a well-dressed girl buys a bunch or two. After seeing that these are just ordinary red fruits, normal adults have no idea. Thoughts on buying.
This had been expected by Li Yi.
The largest consumer group of candied haws on a stick is naughty children. Whether in ancient times or modern times, women and children are the absolute main consumers. This is also consistent with his original positioning of candied haws on a stick.
The remaining dozen or so bunches of candied haws on a stick were sold out in a short time, leaving only a solitary bunch stuck on top. It looked extremely unsightly and uncomfortable. Li Yi frowned and plucked the last bunch of candied haws. Coming down, just as he brought it to his mouth, a voice suddenly came from the distance.
"shut up!"
"Crack!"
A crisp sound came, and he had already bitten the first hawthorn fruit.
If you want to make delicious candied haws, it is very important to control the heat of the sugar syrup. This time the sugar syrup was cooked for a long time and it was a little burnt. Remember to remind them to pay attention next time.
Then, Li Yicai raised his head and looked at the young man trotting over. After being stunned for a moment, two voices came over almost at the same time.
"It's you!"
"It's you!"
------
------
The young man opposite was also a little surprised, and did not expect that the man selling candied haws on a stick was actually the scholar who painted last time.
Of course, Li Yi recognized this dear friend immediately.
After all, he was the only rich man in this world who was willing to spend ten taels of silver to buy a painting.
After a brief surprise, the next moment, the young man's eyes moved away from Li Yi's face and placed them on the last bunch of candied haws in his hand, which he had already taken a bite of.
"you……"
He pointed a finger at Li Yi. As soon as he said a word, he waved his hand in frustration, grabbed Li Yi's arm, and said, "Follow me!"
"What are you doing!"
The young man was thin and weak, but quite strong. Li Yi staggered and was forcefully pulled forward by him.
"Did you make this candied haws?"
"Let me go first!"
"Is it you?"
"So what?"
"That's right!"
------
------
Life is like being fucked. Since you can't resist, just enjoy it.
After a while, Li Yi understood that his strength was far inferior to that of this young man. If he continued to struggle like this, he would be the only one who felt uncomfortable, so he simply gave up resistance and followed him forward.
From the looks of it, it doesn't look like he killed someone because of eating candied haws, and this guy wants to drag him to see the official...
As long as this isn't the case.
At this time, on the street not far in front of the two men, several sturdy men were swaying in a swagger, for a big man with a scar on his face, who took two buns from a street stall. Seeing the big man swaggering away without paying, the stall owner flashed a trace of anger in his eyes, but finally sighed, and could only admit that he was unlucky and dared not say anything.
"Brother, look who that is!"
Suddenly, as if seeing something, a little brother next to the scarred big man trembled, pointed forward and said.
Hearing this, the scarred big man looked up, and after seeing a familiar figure, he was slightly startled, and his face immediately became gloomy.
How could he forget that day when he was beaten up by a few hateful guys in the alley, and the beating was so miserable. The saddest thing was that he was arrested and put in a detention room for several days. Not only was the food moldy, but he didn't even have a comfortable place to sleep. Whenever he dreamed about the experience of those days, he would still wake up in a cold sweat.
The source of all this was because of that guy who he hated so much when he thought of it now.
And the scholar who he wanted to be humanely destroyed now appeared in front of him again.
"Follow him!"
Even though these ruffians were not small in courage, they didn't dare to do anything too presumptuous in the street. They gave an order with a gloomy face and hung behind the two people from a distance.
Li Yi still didn't know where the young man was hurriedly pulling him to go and what he was going to do. Just as he was about to ask again, a chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind him, and the two were surrounded by people in an instant.
"Who are you and what do you want to do?"
The young man frowned and asked when he was blocked by someone.
"Kid, if you know what's good for you, get out of here. You have nothing to do here!" The scarred man glared at the young man, then looked at Li Yi, his eyes filled with extreme hatred.
