"How could this be..."
Shen Tang stopped in front of the woman.
The latter looked at the black-faced man led by Shen Tang with shock and fear.
She was afraid that the ferocious wild boar would rush up and trample her to death. But she didn't dare to say anything to drive it away, so she could only shrink and tremble.
The woman closed her eyes in despair, but she did not let go of her son no matter how scared she was. This scene moved everyone. Of course, only Qi Shan and the other two were moved.
The other people have already become hard-hearted and are not surprised by this.
Either they are staring blankly with numb eyes, or they curl their lips in gloating expression, waiting to see a good show and release the pressure.
"Don't be afraid. It won't hurt anyone."
"Can I see your child?"
Hearing this, the woman hesitantly looked up at the young girl in front of her. Although the girl's facial features were not yet fully developed, she could foresee that in many years, they would be written with the word "gorgeous". This girl and her companions were out of tune with this land.
The woman hesitated for a moment, then slowly loosened her arms.
Shen Tang squatted down and felt the pulse on the child's wrist, but as soon as her fingertips touched the skin and before she could carefully feel the pulse, her heart skipped a beat - the skin her fingertips touched was cold and stiff, and there was no pulse at all.
Looking at the child quietly curled up in his mother's arms, Shen Tang's pupils trembled. Facing the woman's expectant gaze, he couldn't utter a word. The child's head was facing the woman's arms, and because of the way she held him before, Shen Tang didn't realize that the child had died.
Shen Tang lowered his head and withdrew his hand.
The woman was completely unaware and asked, "Madam, do you want to buy my son?"
Zhai Le was sensitive to the smell of things and could tell early in the morning that the child was already dead. Hearing the conversation between Shen Tang and the other person, he was about to say something but Qi Shan raised his hand to stop him. He hesitated on the spot, and the words he wanted to say in his heart were mixed and fermented, turning into a complex sigh.
It's obvious that Brother Shen is a newcomer to the world and he is soft-hearted about everything.
He had seen too many similar scenes.
Sometimes he couldn't help but question himself, what's the use of him? Why can't he help these people after learning martial arts
Powerless, unable to change.
Brother Shen has a kind heart, so I'm afraid he will feel even worse.
Shen Tang nodded: "Yes, buy it, how much?"
If Shen Tang was called "wife" by an ordinary person, she would probably complain about someone's poor eyesight, but the woman's "wife" made her feel indescribably bitter. She blinked, trying to suppress the inexplicable bitterness.
The woman's cloudy and tired eyes suddenly lit up.
"No, not much, just forty or forty cents."
Perhaps because he was too excited, his voice was weak and trembling, and his tongue was so anxious that it was fighting with his teeth, and he almost bit the tip of his tongue.
"Yes, I bought it."
The woman choked up and thanked him: "Okay... Thank you, thank you!"
"Madam, do you have any other requests?"
The woman was confused for a moment when asked.
After a while, the rusted and stuck parts in her brain slowly started to work weakly, and she understood what Shen Tang said. She hesitated: "Mom, can you... can you let him eat more? He is very good, he doesn't eat much, he is obedient, sensible and filial..."
As he spoke, turbid tears rolled down his eyes.
Tick-tick-tick, dripping on the child's face which had already turned blue.
The woman was still murmuring about how well-behaved and obedient the child was.
Shen Tang said: "Well, that's no problem."
She counted out forty coins and handed them to the woman, adding a piece of cake. This transaction caused whispers from the nearby "stalls".
Shen Tang heard it carefully, but lowered his eyes and ignored it.
He just clenched his teeth secretly and tightened the flesh in his cheeks.
The man whispered, "Is this woman sick? The baby has been dead for a day... The mother of the baby was raped and the dead one was sold for a living price."
Another person posted: "It is said that women are better than us men. They can get money by crying and buy a dead body. Tsk, you spendthrift woman, you are paying money to collect the body..."
The third person smacked his lips and rolled his eyes: "Humph, she was lucky to meet a stupid woman. A dead body, it's good enough to sell for five cents, there's not much meat, and it's also firewood..."
Someone else laughed maliciously and said, "We're going to be fooled!"
In the past, there were many "sellers" who took advantage of the sympathy of strangers and extorted money from them. There were many tricks used by scammers. They expected Shen Tang to find out that he had been cheated and be ashamed, embarrassed, angry and annoyed. That kind of powerless and furious expression was quite relaxing.
Shen Tang ignored all these voices.
The woman took the money tremblingly and stroked her son's cheek reluctantly, as if it was the most precious treasure in the world.
In the end, he hardened his heart and prepared to hand the child over.
Unexpectedly, Shen Tang raised his hand and declined: "I have other things to do, so I can't help you. I'll take your child away after I'm done, okay?"
When the woman heard that she could stay with the child for a while, she burst into tears with excitement. She knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed to Shen Tang several times while holding the child, saying over and over again: "Okay, okay... Thank you, Bodhisattva, thank you, living Bodhisattva..."
Shen Tang took Heimianlang's hand and stood up and returned to Qishan.
Qi Shan: "Aren't you worried that she'll cheat on you?"
Shen Tang was immersed in her own world, and it took a while for Qi Shan's words to reach her. She suddenly came to her senses, pursed her dry lips, and replied: "It can't be a liar... If it is a liar... Whoever cheats me of money, I will kill him half his life!"
Qishan: “…”
Zhai Le: “???”
Shouldn't the point be to cheat on feelings
Qi Shan felt that Young Master Shen was too soft-hearted, and was about to speak to comfort him, but he heard Shen Tang ask: "Yuan Liang, everyone comes naked crying and leaves naked crying. Since we are destined to die at birth, what is the meaning of life?"
She asked, "Is life just for suffering?"
What is the difference between living in the present and experiencing tribulations in the human world
Similar tragedies of women can be seen just a few steps away.
Is she really in the world of the living now
The underworld is no different, right
The fact that Shen Tang spent 40 cents to buy a corpse that was suffocated to death by Guanyin soil had long been noticed by some people, and some people tried to do the same to impress this kind-hearted spendthrift woman.
As a result, Shen Tang never stopped, which made people infuriating.
Qi Shan's heart moved.
Normally he was too lazy to answer such questions.
However, the person asking the question was the always noisy Shen Xiaolangjun, so it had a special meaning. He said: "I live to leave a trace that belongs to Qishan."
Shen Tang asked Zhai Le again: "Where is Xiaofang?"
Zhai Le touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Me? My idea is a little bit big, and you are not allowed to laugh when I tell you. I want to lead my subordinates and help my brother pacify the southeast."
As expected, Shen Tang burst out laughing.
Zhai Le was furious: "I agreed not to laugh!"
"I didn't promise not to laugh. Your idea is indeed good, but aren't you a little timid? Are you satisfied with just a piece of southeast? You should learn from me how to open up the world—"
Zhai Le asked: "How do we open the pattern?"
Shen Tang paused, squinted his eyes and thought about it.
Made a demonstration -
"For example—I want to pacify the world!"
Qi Shan’s hand trembled and he looked at the young man.
In the sunlight, the boy's black pupils showed a hint of dark brown, and for a moment, he even thought he was not joking.
Zhai Le: "Are you dreaming?"
Shen Tang curled his lips: "Aren't you dreaming too? Since it's all a dream, why not just do it in one go? Don't you think so?"
