The man's hair was disheveled and his beard was unkempt, covering most of his face. The blue-gray clothes and leggings on his body were also very old and dirty. He was sitting on a wall with his hands on his knees, his eyes fixed on him. There is a hawker selling steamed buns not far away.
His whole body is dilapidated and gray, except for those eyes, which are extraordinarily bright. Although his expression looks dull at the moment, just looking at those eyes makes people believe that as long as they turn around, they must be a pair of brilliance blooming s eyes.
Lian Fangzhou withdrew his gaze and glanced at Lian Ze.
It was just a matter of a moment, Lian Ze knew that his sister knew what he was thinking, and said a little bit unbearably: "I just think he is quite pitiful."
It is indeed quite pitiful. Lian Fangzhou took out seven or eight copper coins and gave him: "Go and buy him two steamed buns!"
"Hey!" Lian Ze's eyes lit up in surprise and joy, he grabbed the copper coins and ran out.
The third aunt surprised him, and quickly looked at him. Seeing that he bought steamed buns for the man, she couldn't help but "tsk tsk" and said in disgust: "You two really don't know how to live! Irrelevant beggars, what do you care about him? This money is so easy to earn? It doesn’t hurt to spend it!”
Lian Fangzhou smiled lightly: "It's just a few copper coins, I think that person is really hungry, he should be accumulating virtue!"
The third aunt still muttered: "There are so many people like this in the world, and they take care of so much? One day I have nothing to eat, who cares..."
Lian Fangzhou ignored her, bowed her head and continued eating noodles.
After a while, Lian Ze came back, and Grandma Sangu still said a few words to him.
Lian Ze ignored her, bowed his head and concentrated on eating noodles.
The third aunt suddenly felt bored, so she also started eating noodles.
Once the three of them finished eating, they checked out and went out.
Grandma Sangu still didn't forget to smack her lips, and sighed with endless aftertaste and longing: "This noodle is really fragrant and delicious. It would be great if I could eat it every day! This life is worth it!"
Lian Fangzhou couldn't help but burst out laughing. Isn't it just a bowl of noodles, is it worth saying "this life is worth it"? She didn't even believe in Fangzhou, she would mess up so badly!
The third aunt thought she was laughing at her wishful thinking, so she rolled her eyes and said, "What are you laughing at? I also know that this is impossible, so why not talk about it!"
"No!" Lian Fangzhou said with a smile, "I didn't mean that, what I meant was that Grandma Sangu's requirements are too low!"
"Hmph, just make fun of me!" Third Gu's grandmother gave her another look, only thinking that what she said was ironic.
After eating, the three of them went out of the city and went home.
Woke up early, went shopping for a long time, and my stomach was full again. As soon as I left the city, Sangu's grandmother yawned and fell asleep in the car.
Lian Ze was also a little sleepy, but he was afraid that even Fangzhou would be sleepy too, so he cheered up and talked to Lian Fangzhou.
The voices of the two brothers and sisters were not loud, and there was no noise from the third aunt in their ears, and the mood of the two became lighter for no reason.
Lian Fangzhou suddenly said "ah", and said with a smile: "I forgot to ask the price of charcoal today. If it is cheap, I should buy some now. When it is cold, it will be more expensive!"
"Let's forget it, sister," Lian Ze was a little surprised when she heard her say that, and said with a smile, "How can we be so rich? We can just burn firewood in winter, and we can't afford charcoal! That's only for rich people. Affordable things! Let’s go pick some mushrooms tomorrow and save up some money so that we can eat enough and wear warm clothes in winter, that’s enough.”
Compared with unrealistic charcoal, Lian Ze is more interested in picking mushrooms, especially when Lian Fangzhou said that when the weather really gets cold, there will be no more mushrooms to pick. He is more impatient and more motivated.
Lian Fangzhou ignored his words about mushrooms, and asked in surprise, "Charcoal is too precious!"
"No!" Lian Ze said, "Not many people know how to burn charcoal, so how can it be inexpensive!"
Lian Fangzhou's heart moved: If this is also a way of making money, you can give it a try. Of course she and Lian Ze can't do it alone, they have to find a partner. Well, of course Uncle Li and Aunt Zhang's house is the most suitable...
Having made up his mind, Lian Fangzhou suddenly felt his heart burning, and planned to discuss it with Uncle Li and Aunt Zhang in the next two days.
The two siblings were talking while driving the donkey cart, Lian Fangzhou raised his head inadvertently, and suddenly saw five or six young men who looked like ruffians and rascals blocking the way in front of them, looking at them with thieves' eyes and smiling.
Lian Fangzhou's heart was shaken, he pulled the reins abruptly, and stared at them without blinking.
Encountered robbery!
She was very anxious, and her eyes glanced around. This area is very remote, with green hills on both sides, and there is no human habitation...
At this moment, she felt a little desperate: how could such a thing happen to her.
"You, who are you!" Lian Ze also saw them, his expression changed and he exclaimed.
"Hahahaha!" The ruffians burst out laughing, extremely frivolous and rascal.
One of them hooked his fingers behind him, and said triumphantly, "Leave your things, the donkey cart and all the money on your body, you three, you can get out!"
"Don't think about it!" Lian Ze said without thinking. This donkey was borrowed, and everything was bought with hard-earned money, so how could it be possible to just keep it.
"Hmph!" The man sneered, not paying attention to Lian Ze's half-old children, Lian Fangzhou, and Lian Xiaoman.
Lian Fangzhou groaned inwardly, she never thought that these people would target them! How much money can they have
But she didn't know that she went to the pharmacy to sell Ganoderma lucidum and got ten taels of silver, which fell into the eyes of these people, and she followed them all the time.
Ten taels of silver, plus the money for donkeys, donkey carts and selling mushrooms, was enough to tempt them.
Although there are many rich people coming and going on the street, if you want to make a move, you have to look at the situation of the other party.
The three of Lian Fangzhou are undoubtedly perfect targets.
"Men, I don't have time to chatter with you! Since you don't want to drink a toast, then you have to drink as a fine! Brothers, get on me and throw these three people out of the car!" The leader laughed again.
After all, this is the main road. If someone runs into someone, it will be quite troublesome.
He said it lightly, as if it was an easy thing to do.
A few ruffians agreed happily, and walked towards the siblings with a smile.
At this time, Sangu's grandma was still sleeping soundly in the back, snoring slightly, Lian Fangzhou couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it.
"Sister, what should we do! What should we do!" Lian Ze clenched his fist tightly, trembling slightly, and the veins on the back of his hand burst out.
He had never hated himself so much, hated himself as useless.
Lian Fangzhou bit her lip, her heart beating violently with nervousness.
what to do? What can I do!
Right now it seems that the only way to eliminate disasters is to spend money and eliminate disasters.
"Give it to them!" When Lian Fangzhou said this, his heart ached and he was extremely angry!
The results of so many days of hard work by the siblings, the joy and hope accumulated little by little, collapsed in an instant!
She really hates it!
"No! I—"
"Ah Ze!" Lian Fangzhou grasped the impulsiveness of Lian Ze who wanted to rush forward to fight those people, and said decisively: "Let the green hills stay without worrying about no firewood, so what if you don't want to? Fight with them." It won’t change the result if you do it, on the contrary, you’ll hurt yourself, and you’ll have to spend money on medical treatment!”
