Happy Little Scholar

The sloppy old man had a look of intoxication on his face. He could have such an expression even when eating a piece of candy. Lin Yong waved his hand in anger and cursed, "Where did this beggar come from? Get out of here!"

I thought he was overworked these two days and his aim was bad. I didn't expect that this old beggar robbed him halfway. I have never seen such a bold beggar. Lin Yong rolled up his sleeves. Fanglinyuan has only recruited beggars these two days. Many customers have been scared away and there has been a lot of business. If this old guy doesn't know what's good for him, he is ready to take some tough measures.

The old man nodded with satisfaction with the candy in his mouth. He didn't care about Lin Yong's behavior just now. He pointed to the box in his hand, looked at him and asked, "Where can I buy this?"

This kind of milk candy is only sold in Jingguo Kyoto. This is the first time he has seen it in other places since he left Kyoto.

"What's for sale? Go away." Lin Yong waved his hand and didn't bother with him about what happened just now. He thought that there was no point in arguing with a beggar, and it would only lower his status.

"Go away, if you..."

Seeing that the old man was unmoved, Lin Yong just said a sentence, but saw that the sloppy old man looked up at him.

It was this glance that made Lin Yong shiver, as if a basin of ice water was poured on his head, chilling from head to toe, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say no matter what.

The old man looked at him and asked again: "Where can I buy this?"

Lin Yong subconsciously said: "No, I don't sell it..."

The sloppy old man frowned, and at this moment, a figure walked out of the store.

Li Yi looked at Lin Yong and said, "If you're done, you can go over there and get some. We made a lot this time, and two people can't finish it."

The sloppy old man raised his head and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar young man who came out of the store. His nose suddenly felt a little sour.

He was poisoned, traveled thousands of miles, slept in the open air, and experienced countless hardships and dangers before he came here step by step. These hardships finally disappeared at this moment.

Li Yi looked at the beggar's old eyes flashing with crystals and sighed. Everyone has their own way of living. There are emperors who are high above and beggars who live at the bottom of society. Everyone has different troubles. For the former, they may think about how to conquer cities and stabilize their country all day long, but for the latter, eating a piece of candy can make them cry excitedly. Being able to fill their stomachs and survive is probably their only pursuit.

He took out a piece of silver and handed it over, saying, "Take it and go eat something."

The old man lifted his messy hair to both sides and said in a trembling voice, "It's me..."

Lin Yong was stunned, looking at Li Yi, and then at the old beggar, with a puzzled face.

Li Yi's hand was in the air, and at a certain moment, he felt like he had won a prize.

……

……

"This is from home, Uncle Lin's clothes, wear it for now." Lin Yong took a piece of clothing and said, "Brother Li, your family has such an old servant, how come I have never heard of you?"

Li Yi explained, "At that time, I encountered bandits and accidentally got separated. It is really fate that we can meet here again."

"It's not easy." Lin Yong put down the clothes, looked at the sloppy old man who was washing his face over there, turned his head and whispered, "I'll get him something to eat. Just now, I saw that his eyes were green with hunger, and I was afraid of him..."

The master is of course terrible. In such an era, it can even be called a nuclear weapon.

His martial arts skills have already reached the pinnacle. He can rely on his own momentum to make ordinary people or even masters in the general sense collapse directly. Killing with a look is nothing.

The sloppy old man changed into clean clothes and swept his eyes in the yard. The two people he was looking for were there. He took a sip of wine and threw a piece of candy in his mouth. He felt that the burden on his shoulders was lifted at once...

The mission was completed, there was candy and wine. What else could he ask for in life?

Li Yi sat aside and looked at him and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Someone asked me to come here and asked me to bring you back unharmed." The sloppy old man looked at him and said, "You know, the most important thing for us in the rivers and lakes is the word righteousness. Since I promised, I must do it..."

Li Yi thought for a while and asked, "What is the situation in Shuzhou now?"

"They don't know that you have arrived in Qi State, and they have been searching. I heard that the King of Shu has offered a reward of 10,000 taels of silver and vowed to find you." The old man looked at him, Asked: "Do you have a deep friendship with the King of Shu?"

Li Yi waved his hand: "Just a little bit..."

The old man said: "Then we will go back immediately. When we get to Shuzhou, we don't have to worry about the power of the Taoist nun."

"Ahem..." Li Yi coughed twice and said: "Don't worry, you fought with the Taoist nun, aren't you injured? Let's recuperate here first, and we will recuperate for a while before leaving."

If the Shu King, that idiot, had used this perseverance in other places, he would have become a prince long ago, and he would never have been exiled to Shuzhou, a place where no one lives.

After careful consideration, although there was an injured master, the master could not kill thousands of people. With the friendship between the King of Shu and him, it would still be difficult to pass through Shuzhou and return safely.

"My injury is not a problem. As long as I don't meet the master, it's fine." The sloppy old man clapped his hands and said: "You should pack up first and set off early to avoid more trouble."

Li Yi stood up, looked at him and said, "Just let him recover if I tell you to. What if his condition worsens? Your health is important. I'll find you a place to stay in the inn next door. Let's talk about it first. This is it!"

One should not be too selfish. It's not easy for the old man to travel thousands of miles. If you torture him again just when he has a chance to rest, is he still a human being?

The sloppy old man watched him walk out of the yard. The expression on his old face was a little stunned. After a while, it became a little complicated...

...

...

Fanglin Garden, Lin Wanru put down her pen, looked at Li Yi and asked, "How do you plan to accommodate that old man?"

Li Yi said, "Let him live in the inn next door first."

"It's not easy for the old man to come all the way here. If there are any difficulties, you can tell me." Lin Wanru nodded, looked up at him, and asked, "The foreign merchants..."

"I've already negotiated with them." Li Yi smiled and said, "They are also in a hurry to use money. They have a lot of jewelry, all brought from Jingguo. , can be provided to you directly, the price is negotiable. "

Lin Wanru thought for a while and said: "If it is a finished jewelry, I am afraid the price will not be low."

Li Yi waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about this. I heard from these foreign merchants that their original shopkeepers ate, drank, gambled, and owed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. They ran away with their sister-in-law and didn't even pay them. They were pressed by debt collection. They had to sell these jewelry and other things everywhere at a low price. They were in a hurry to get rid of them. The original price of one thousand taels can now be bought for three hundred taels. The price is not too high, and even your labor costs are saved..."

"Really?" Lin Wanru raised her head and her beautiful eyes lit up.

"Really." Li Yi nodded.

If those goods are converted into silver, it is not convenient to carry, and silver bills can only be exchanged in Qi. If they want to go back, these things will be a burden, so they simply do her a favor.
