"This scholar is actually a wonderful person..."
About half an hour later, the young nobleman cast a glance at Li Yi, holding the portrait that Li Yi had just drawn for him in his hand, and nodded in satisfaction.
With a light snap of his fingers, a passer-by who was squatting at the nearby stall picking goods immediately stood up, took out a silver ingot from his arms, and threw it on the table in front of Li Yi with a "snap".
The money and the goods are cleared. Watching the young nobleman walk away, the passers-by around him suddenly decreased by half. Li Yi imitated the bridge in the TV and bit his teeth with his teeth, but he didn't know why. He looked up and saw the passers-by They all looked at him with unusually fiery eyes—the silver in their hands, and hurriedly put it in their arms.
To a certain extent, this is the first pot of gold he really earned after he came to this world.
Don't underestimate the ten taels of silver. With the current price of one tael of silver can buy two stones of rice, these ten taels of silver are enough for a family of four to live for several years.
Touching the money in his bosom, Li Yi couldn't help sighing in his heart, the people in the city are still rich!
In this way, he only needs to paint such a painting every day, and he will soon be able to live an early retirement life.
Of course, this is only the most ideal situation, except for that noble young man who looks handsome but seems to have an abnormal mind, I am afraid that few people will spend ten taels of silver to buy such a painting.
With the money in hand, his mood improved a lot. Li Yi lay comfortably on the chair to bask in the sun while waiting for the scholar to come back.
This time, he didn't wait much longer, and the figure of the scholar hurried over.
The two greeted each other a few words, and the scholar held Li Yi's hand gratefully, and kept saying thank you, until Li Yi noticed that the passers-by around him looked at them with some kind of change, and hurriedly With a wave of his hand, he expressed the meaning of saying goodbye.
Of course, before leaving, he took away the portrait of Liu Ruyi he had just painted, and the scholar didn't say anything about it. Instead, he informed Li Yi of his home address and invited him to come and discuss painting next time. technology.
Holding ten taels of silver, Li Yi felt a lot more at ease in his heart, and now he can pay for things that he couldn't afford just now with a wave of his hand, but at this time he has already taken a lot of things in his hand, so it's better to wait for Fang The surnamed big man came back, after all, there is free labor to use, no need for nothing...
He walked to the side of the big willow tree that he had agreed with Liu Ruyi and the others, found a clean stone and sat down, waiting for the big man surnamed Fang to come back.
At this time, Li Yi didn't notice that not far behind him, in the crowd, a young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks looked at his leaving back, and a greedy light flashed in his eyes.
After looking around for a few moments, the figure of the young man quickly disappeared into an alleyway.
Beside the painting booth, after Li Yi left, the scholar began to pack his things.
"Hey, why did you clean it up so early today?" A crisp voice came from the front, the scholar raised his head, saw the person coming, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Miss Xiaocui. Today, I have something to do at home, so I cleaned it up earlier. , the girl is here to pick up the painting, right?"
The girl who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a double bun and a baby-faced face nodded, and said, "Is the painting finished? Miss sent me to pick it up early in the morning."
The scholar nodded with a smile, handed over a paint tube on the table, and said, "It's finished, Miss Xiaocui, open it up and have a look. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, just point it out, and you can do it again." Modified."
The girl waved her hand and said, "No need, Miss is in a hurry, and I have to go back immediately after taking the painting."
The girl didn't have any doubts about the scholar's painter, she casually took the painting tube handed over by the scholar, took out a few coins from the pocket at her waist, put them on the table, and left in a hurry.
The scholar packed up his things, left them in the restaurant next to him, and then left quickly. At this time, Li Yi's situation was not very good.
Seeing a few strangers slowly approaching, Li Yi stood up from the spot with a look of vigilance.
His intuition told him that trouble was coming.
Just as he was about to walk away from the side, two people appeared on both sides. Their physiques were comparable to those of a big man with the surname Fang, which was obviously not something Li Yi could handle.
Almost instantly, Li Yi understood what happened.
I'm afraid that when he took out the silver just now, someone saw it...
Surrounded on three sides, there was an alley behind him, and Li Yi ran into it almost without thinking.
Seeing his behavior, not only did those people not chase after him, but all of them showed mocking smiles on their faces.
"The scholar really has money?"
Walking to the entrance of the alley, the first man with scars on his face, who looked a bit hideous and terrifying, suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks behind him and asked.
No wonder he was curious. Looking at the man's clothes, no matter how he looked at it, he was just a poor scholar, not like a rich man at all.
Hearing the words, the young man immediately said flatteringly: "Brother, how dare I lie to you, I just saw him take out such a big ingot of silver with my own eyes! I'm afraid it must be at least ten taels..."
While speaking, he stretched out his fist and gestured to the big man.
"Ten taels..." The scarred man licked his lips, ten taels of silver, as long as he didn't go to the famous gold selling caves in the city, it was enough for him to live happily for a long time.
"go in."
The big man waved his hand, and everyone walked into the alley one after another.
"Oh shit!"
After running for more than ten steps, Li Yi cursed secretly when he saw a high wall at the end of the alley. He didn't expect this to be a dead end. When he turned his head, he saw those people had already walked in.
"Scholar, are you going to hand over the money yourself, or should we help you?" The leading man with the scar walked up to Li Yi with a playful face, folded his arms, looked down at him and said.
This big man has a thick back and a waist, and his height is at least 1.9 meters, close to 2 meters. He is a full head taller than Li Yi. When he talks, he looks down.
Several people behind him also looked at him with mocking eyes, as if they were looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
The money that had just been obtained was about to be snatched away before it was warmed up in his arms. The aggrieved Li Yi felt at this moment could not be described in words.
He didn't think about resisting, let alone this vicious-looking big man, it was the people behind him. Li Yi felt that he could only hope to win if he faced that wretched little young man.
If there is no money, you can make more money, and if you lose your life, you have nothing. Even if these people didn't intend to take his life, they would definitely beat him up... This is what Li Yi doesn't want to see.
Sighing inwardly, he raised his head and stretched his hand into his bosom, ready to take out that ingot of silver.
Seeing Li Yi's actions, a smile appeared on the big man's face.
"This scholar is quite interesting..."
Just as this thought appeared in the big man's mind, the next moment, his smile froze on his face.
"Scar, what did you just say, let me hear it again?"
From the point of view of the man with the scar, the scholar had already stretched his hand into his bosom, but he took it out suddenly, with a mocking and disdainful expression on his face, he looked at him lightly and said.
