Xu Zhihu reached into his big sleeve, but his expression froze, and then she remembered that she had changed her dress, but she didn't take out those scattered copper coins.

Looking awkwardly at Xu Fengnian beside him, he also had an innocent look on his face, because he was ready to do anything at any time today, and he didn't bring any money with him.

Li Fei shook his head with a smile, grabbed a handful of copper coins from his pocket, and put them directly into the little girl's bowl, because the handful of copper coins was too much for the little girl to hold in her hands.

The reason why no money was given was because giving too much would be a disaster rather than a blessing to the little girl, and she couldn't keep it at all.

"Thank you, thank you young master." The little girl bowed to thank Li Fei, turned around and pointed in one direction, and said, "There are melons in the pond over there, and they are free to quench the thirst of young masters and young ladies who enter the temple, very sweet."

Li Fei patted her on the head lightly, and said with a smile, "Okay, thank you."

The little girl bowed deeply to everyone again, Xu Fengnian greeted: "Come on, go in and eat melons."

Arriving at the place the little girl said, there was a pool surrounded by green trees and a strange ancient pine.

There are stone faucets on each side of the pool, and spring water flows from the mouth of the dragon. The water is clear, and the scattered copper coins dropped by pilgrims at the bottom of the pool are clearly visible.

The water in the pool was very cool, and it was full of soaked watermelons. Xu Fengnian asked Shu Shuo to carry two of them and put them on the stone table where they were sitting.

Pull out the Beiliang knife, and cut the watermelon into thin pieces of equal size with a few knives.

"Yo, I've gotten better at kung fu recently, and my control is pretty good!"

Xu Fengnian blinked, and said with a smile: "Just kidding, do you think I've been playing all these days?"

Li Fei picked up a piece of watermelon, took a bite and said casually: "Keep working hard, don't think that everything will be fine after learning the art of imperial weapons."

"In the face of a real top expert, maybe you don't even have the chance to make a tactic. The art of imperial weapon is a great weapon against an army, but against a master, it depends on your skill in the end."

This principle is applicable even in the upper realms. Facing the same level of masters, even the immortals of the ranks of Monkey King, Erlang God, and Nezha are fighting in close combat with sticks and guns.

Xu Fengnian said: "Don't worry, I understand the truth, and I won't slack off."

When everyone was eating melons, Xu Zhihu noticed that the little girl begging for money was standing aside, swallowing with envy and longing.

Xu Zhihu's heart softened, he waved to the little girl, and said, "Come here."

The little girl shook her head, but did not come over.

Seeing this, Xu Fengnian said: "Give her two later and take them home."

Xu Zhihu nodded when he heard the words, and stopped meddling.

Xu Fengnian suddenly noticed that a poor scholar was sitting alone by a parapet far away from the crowd.

Holding a book in his hand, he recited silently, and he was out of tune with the group of bright and beautiful scholars and ladies in this temple.

Out of curiosity, Xu Fengnian got up and ate a watermelon while leaning behind the poor scholar and glanced at the book he was reading.

The scholar noticed Xu Fengnian walking over, and subconsciously moved aside. Seeing that Xu Fengnian had no intention of striking up a conversation, he continued to read the book on his own.

The little girl who had been standing silently not far away, came forward after Li Fei and others finished eating a piece of watermelon.

She pointed to the watermelon rinds that had already been eaten, and asked Xu Zhihu timidly, "Do you want more?"

Xu Zhihu was slightly taken aback, and asked the little girl, "What's the use of this?"

The little girl smiled and said, "It can be pickled and eaten."

Li Fei on the side said slowly: "Not only can it be marinated, but after peeling and slicing, it can also be fried as a dish."

Xu Zhihu, Qingniao, Jiang Ni, and Yu Youwei all looked at him in a daze.

Li Fei smiled, looked at them and said, "Before I met Xiaonian, I was also a poor person struggling at the bottom. I barely survived by singing and earning some copper coins, so I was a little better than Huazi."

Huang Longshi glanced at Li Fei strangely.

A dignified quasi-sage and strong man, who is a figure who dominates the heavens and the world, has also struggled at the bottom of society?What the hell did you set up for yourself?

Xilihulu gnawed on the warmth of two pieces of watermelon, wiped his mouth when he heard the words, and said: "It's not just better, it's really much better."

"At least you know that cold melon rind can be used for cooking. I haven't seen this thing before today, so this man still needs to have a skill."

As he spoke, Wen Hua picked up another piece of watermelon and handed it to the little girl.

Unexpectedly, the little girl shook her head again and again, just looking at those watermelon rinds, until Xu Zhihu nodded in a daze, then she picked up those watermelon rinds, turned and ran away.

When everyone was confused, the poor scholar next to Xu Fengnian said, "She won't take it. Those melons are for literati. If she takes them, she will be kicked out of the temple."

"She is a poor child who lives by begging. There is also a paralyzed grandfather at home. If it weren't for this child, the old man would not be able to survive the last winter."

"The monks in this temple saw that she was pitiful, so they acquiesced in her entering the temple to beg. If she took something she shouldn't, the grandpa and grandson would have no way of living."

When everyone heard the scholar's words, they felt great compassion for the little girl.

Wen Hua, who climbed up from the dust and still failed to change the mentality of the little man, was even more angry, and said angrily: "Fucking literati."

His voice was so loud that the scholars and ladies nearby all glared at him.

"What are you looking at? I'm talking about you, a bunch of scumbags who don't know the so-called so-called waste, give it a try again."

Wen Hua suddenly got up, stared back without showing any weakness, shouted in his mouth, his right hand was already holding the hilt of the sword, and he was ready to convince others with virtue at any time.

[312.Chapter 61 Advanced Thoughts in the Feudal Era]

The expressions of those so-called literati and refined scholars all changed, and none of them were afraid of talking and debating, but when they encountered such a ruthless character who would draw their swords at every turn, they could only admit that they were cowardly.

This is the best interpretation of a scholar meeting a soldier.

At that moment, they all muttered words such as "barbarian" and "reckless man" in their mouths, and stayed away from this area.

Wen Hua snorted coldly, then let go of the hilt of his sword, and sat down again.

Xu Fengnian shook his head with a broken smile. Although this guy is a bit like him and Li Fei, it's a pity that he is still too soft-hearted.

If it was him, even if he didn't directly draw the saber just now, he would have stepped forward and slashed at him, and he would have slashed at him if he dared to say a word.

Useless scholars who don't understand these bullshit and only talk about harming the country, he is really not a human being, chopping it up is like chopping a ripe melon.

Xu Fengnian asked the poor scholar: "Do you know that little girl?"

The scholar said, "I taught her how to read."

Xu Fengnian said: "The whole family is like this, what's the use of knowing characters?"

The scholar said: "Only by reading and knowing characters can you understand and understand. If fate is hard, only self-help can have a chance of life."

Xu Fengnian's eyes flashed brightly, and he began to be a little interested in this scholar.

He then asked, "Then why don't you eat melons?"

The scholar looked down at the book in his hand, and said calmly, "I can't eat it either."

Xu Fengnian was puzzled and said, "Aren't melons for literati to eat?"

The scholar looked up at him, and said with a faint smile, "I'm not a literati, let alone an elegant scholar."

Xu Fengnian looked into his eyes and said, "Then what are you?"

The smile on the scholar's face widened, and he said, "Poor."

Xu Fengnian also laughed, and sat down beside the scholar.

The scholar's face changed slightly, he got up slowly and took a step to the side, saying: "Young master sits with me, you will be laughed at by scholars and celebrities."

Xu Fengnian said indifferently, "I'm just an idiot, and I've long been used to being laughed at."

As he spoke, he patted the stool beside him, signaling the scholar to sit down.

The scholar didn't sit down for a while, but with a smile on his face again, he said: "That young man is a bright idiot."

Xu Fengnian never lacked the spirit of self-deprecation, and said with a smile: "It's nothing but gold and jade."

After speaking, he made a move to the hand on the stone table several feet away, and a piece of watermelon flew out of nowhere and fell firmly into his palm.

The ability to control things with his mind is very easy for him now.

The scholar was very surprised, this move was beyond his cognition.

Xu Fengnian handed out the watermelon to the scholar and said, "Do you want to eat it?"

The scholar was silent, Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Don't you dare?"

The scholar remained silent, but frowned.

Seeing this, Xu Fengnian threw the watermelon in his hand towards him.

The scholar held the book in one hand, so he could only catch it with one hand, and managed to catch it in a hurry.

Seeing Xu Fengnian pinching his own piece and gnawing his head, he sat down again, lowered his head and took a bite, feeling sweet and refreshing in his mouth.

"Are you here for the debate too?"

"Poor people are not eligible to enter the venue." After the scholar replied, he also began to gnaw on the watermelon, and he had already moved his mouth anyway, so he let go.

Xu Fengnian wondered: "Then what are you doing here?"

After swallowing the melon in his mouth, the scholar raised the book in his left hand and said, "Look at the books. Those literati often donate money and books to the monastery. If I come more often, I can ask the monk to borrow some books to read." look."

Xu Fengnian said: "Why do you want to send money to the temple?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in the scholar's eyes, and he said: "For money, luck, and marriage."

Xu Fengnian directly showed the meaning of ridicule on his face, saying: "Don't ask for it from the book, but ask it in the temple."

When the scholar heard this, his expression changed, and he said: "If you can say such a thing, you are not an idiot."

Xu Fengnian smiled and didn't answer this question.

"Amitabha."

A Buddha's horn sounded by the pool, Xu Fengnian and the others turned their heads to look, and saw two middle-aged monks standing by the pool, pointing at the little girl with a smile on their faces, then turned and left.

The little girl bowed to the monk, turned around and ran to the scholar, saying, "Master asked me to pick up copper coins."

The scholar nodded with a smile, and said to her, "Go!"

The little girl ran to the pool happily, and the scholar said to Xu Fengnian: "The monks in this temple are compassionate. Although it is only a few copper coins, they can buy half a cage of steamed buns, which are food for her and grandpa for several days."

Xu Fengnian is silent, he has been traveling for three years, he has experienced this kind of life.

Although he and Lao Huang are hungry and full, at least they are adults, and they can still steal and cheat.

But this little girl's situation is obviously more difficult than theirs.

There is a gazebo behind the pool, where several pairs of scholars and ladies in luxurious clothes enjoy the cool.

Seeing the little girl who rolled up her trousers and bent over to pick up money in the pond, a boy with triangular eyes suddenly sneered and threw a watermelon at the little girl.

With a sound of "Boom", a large splash of water was splashed, and the watermelon also shattered in the pool. The drenched little girl was so frightened that she shivered and dared not pick up the copper coins anymore.

She wanted to leave the pool, but she was in a hurry in the water, and accidentally threw herself into the pool, causing bursts of laughter.

A lady with heavy make-up gloated and scolded sharply, "Little bitch, who told you to come here to pick up the wish money? Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by the monks in the temple?"

The little girl lowered her head with red eyes and said: "The master said that it doesn't matter if you only pick up a few copper coins each time."

The woman glared and said angrily, "How dare you talk back?"

In her anger, she picked up a stone on the ground and smashed it hard.

The little girl instinctively dodged for a while, but the woman missed the hit, and immediately became very annoyed. She picked up another stone the size of an egg, and said with a grin: "If you dare to hide, if you hide again, your leg will be broken."

She threw it hard and hit the little girl's chest with a bang. The men and women around her applauded and praised the accuracy.

The little girl's thin body like a bamboo pole, how can she bear such a toss?

She shook for a while, her face was painful, but she still didn't dare to avoid it, standing in the water and crying: "I don't dare to pick it up, and I won't dare again."

The young woman picked up a few more stones with a sneer, and distributed them to friends and friends around her. It’s better to have fun alone than to have fun with others. They are going to play a game like throwing bamboo arrows into a pot together.

They didn't care at all whether the little girl's body could withstand a few throws.

For a Jiangnan Taoist, what is it to kill a little bitch who is begging?

Seeing this scene, the poor scholar rushed towards the pool, shouting, "Stop."

The scholars and ladies were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, not only did not stop, but threw stones at the little girl in the water with more force.

The leading woman threw a stone at the scholar and shouted, "Where did you come from? How dare you stand out here."

The little girl bit her lip and dared not make a sound, but squatted in the cold spring water up to her knees, curled up.

Where is it not that the human heart is colder than water?

But the little girl, who was in extreme pain, still squeezed out a pale smile, and said to the poor scholar who stepped forward: "Brother Chen, it's okay, just hit it a few times, it won't hurt."
