Sword narration is painful in the world
Chapter 9: Compassion for those who suffer is unintentional.
When Xiaobao saw that Song Yu was about to run away before he paid for the meal, he hurriedly reached out to catch him.
But the monster Song Yu, like a loach, had already slipped out of the door.
By the time Xiaobao followed closely and chased him into the courtyard, the monster had long disappeared.
Xiaobao hurriedly asked the shop assistants, but they all shook their heads like rattles.
This time, Xiaobao was so anxious that he was so angry that he got angry and searched the inn room from room to room, but he couldn't find that damn Song Yu.
After returning to the house angrily and dejectedly, Xiaobao said to Long Baoshan with resentment:
“It’s all your fault, it’s all your fault, I let someone take advantage of me again.
Seeing the waiter clearing away the dishes, Hong Lingquan had no choice but to blush and admit that he was unlucky and not let Xiaobao talk anymore.
After complaining, Xiaobao was helpless and hurriedly asked the clerk:
"How much is the total amount?"
The guy replied: "There are three or two silver tattoos in total."
When Xiaobao heard this, he was so distressed that he burst into tears. He looked back at the table and saw that there were a lot of dishes left, so he discussed with the waiter:
"I was supposed to eat freshly fried vegetables tomorrow, but there are so many left today, so you might as well save some. My young master likes to eat the food cooked every other night the most, so I'm sorry to bother you. I'll bring back the spoon tomorrow. Let’s have a smorgasbord.”
When the boy heard this, he thought that this child was quite good at living. Then he thought, since he spent the money, he should keep it.
After nodding in agreement, the waiter removed the dishes and other household items and came back to make good tea for Hong Lingquan and Xiaobao.
Hong Lingquan sat there, bowing his head and keeping silent, probably still thinking about what happened just now:
This big world is really full of wonders. Today I met Hong Lingquan, and I spent money to buy some knowledge.
Seeing that Xiaobao was still unhappy, Hong Lingquan persuaded him a few more words, but Xiaobao became even more anxious after hearing this:
"Stop trying to persuade me. I asked you to stay in a big hotel and let's have beef stew, but you had no choice but to agree. Now you've fallen into someone's trap and spent a lot of money in vain."
Hong Lingquan could only continue to comfort Xiaobao like a child:
"Good brother, don't be angry. I'll buy you beef stew tomorrow, okay?"
After hearing this, Xiaobao curled his lips and shouted:
"Buy whatever you want, buy whatever you want, those leftovers will be enough for us to eat."
In this way, the two brothers exchanged half-truths and half-falsies for a while before going to bed.
Early the next morning, the store clerk indeed heated up yesterday's leftovers and brought them over.
The two finished their meal, settled the bill, and set off on their way again.
When it got dark again, Xiaobao didn't discuss it with Long Baoshan and found a secluded shop to stay in, in order to avoid Song Yu and fear that he would come again to seek advantage.
Unexpectedly, from that night onwards, Song Yu, who was born like a ghost, never showed up again.
So in the days that followed, the two brothers worked hard all the way until they finally arrived in the fascinating capital city. They rented a room at the Mengyun Inn along the West River and stayed there.
When he first arrived in this prosperous place, Hong Lingquan was afraid of an accident. When everything was ready, he told Xiaobao:
"Bao'er, this is the capital city. When we first arrived here, people and earth are two different things. From now on, we should avoid running out. If you go out to cause trouble, I won't spare you."
Xiaobao listened and replied obediently:
"Good brother, don't worry. I will follow you wherever you go from now on. You should rest assured."
At this time, spring was already blooming in the capital, and Hong Lingquan and Xiaobao had spent three or four days without realizing it.
That day, after lunch, Hong Lingquan, who was feeling bored, took Xiaobao out for a walk. As soon as they walked to the front yard, they saw twenty or thirty people surrounding the yard.
The two of them walked over curiously and saw an old man in ragged clothes kneeling among the crowd, followed by a skinny young man in his twenties who was leaning on a crutch.
I saw the young man again, supporting an old mother who was blind.
Apparently, this is a family of three.
Before Hong Lingquan could see what was going on, he heard the old man kneeling on the ground saying sadly:
"Everyone, we are from Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province. Our place suffered from drought last year, locusts broke out, and the crops were not harvested. Our family is old and disabled. We had no choice but to leave our hometown and flee. We want to find a place to live. A way to survive,
It turns out that I have a sister who runs a shop in Beijing, but when we arrived in Beijing, we couldn't find her. When we asked the original shop owner, she said that after she sold the shop, she didn't know where she went.
This has been very painful for our family. The few money we brought have been spent this winter. I am so old that I can no longer work.
Therefore, I can only ask you to drink less tea and save our family. I kowtow to you. "
At this time, the old man's words could not hide the sorrow and sorrow, and tears were streaming down his face, and his tragic situation made people cry.
After kowtowing, the old man stretched out his hands and looked at the onlookers with pleading eyes.
When the onlookers saw it, some ignored it at all, some walked away immediately, and some sighed repeatedly.
After hearing what happened to this family of three, Hong Lingquan felt sad for a while, and then secretly sighed:
God, how can we relieve the suffering of the poor people?
Unable to help himself, Hong Lingquan reached out decisively, took out ten copper coins from his bag, walked to the old man, and handed the money over.
Just when the poor old man stretched out his hands to receive the coins, Long Baoshan took a look:
Alas, the skin on the old man's palm has been completely worn away, and his fingers are now so bloody that it is difficult to distinguish them.
Looking at his knees, I don’t know how many times he kowtowed to others. The trousers have been worn out, and the knees are completely exposed, and they are stained with blood.
Seeing this tragic situation, Hong Lingquan was suddenly heartbroken. He used both hands to untie the gauze from his waist, and then untied it. Among the golden gold, he selected an ingot of silver, about three taels in weight.
After bending down and handing the money to the old man, Hong Lingquan said to the old man:
"The old man is suffering. Go buy some clothes. With the remaining money, you can start a small business in the future."
The old man took the silver with trembling hands, then bent down and kowtowed repeatedly, shouting:
"Thank you for your great kindness, young master. You saved our whole family. I will repay your life-saving grace in the next life as a cow or a horse."
After thanking him, the old man raised his head again and asked: "May I ask your benefactor's surname?"
After reaching out to help the old man up, Hong Lingquan took Xiaobao away from the crowd without saying a word, and walked out of the hospital one after another.
Who would have known that just when Hong Lingquan was taking the money from the money bag chain, he exposed his wealth without warning, but was seen by two thieves.
Because just now when Hong Chenchen took the money for the old man, his hand was holding the bag, which seemed a bit heavy.
The bag is not big, but it is so heavy. An experienced thief can tell at a glance that it must contain gold.
And because, after receiving gifts of money and clothes from Li Chaoliang, Hong Lingquan and Xiaobao were already well-dressed after changing their clothes, so they would naturally attract attention wherever they went.
So just now, there were two men wearing Jianghu cloaks and swords on their hips, watching Hong Lingquan's every move.
