Chapter 263 How dare you mislead a beautiful woman (5 updates completed, ten thousand words please read~)
The scholar is a poor man.
But even if he is so poor that he can live in poverty, he will not be so poor that he can make a fuss about Shi'er burning down his house. He sighed: "He also wanted to save me. If he hadn't been there, I would still have done it." don't know what it will be "What's the end?"
Shi'er, who was originally worried, immediately relaxed after hearing this, and felt a good impression of the scholar in his heart. He pointed at the scholar, took two steps forward, and turned back to face him again. He waved.
"You mean if you let me go with you, do you have a place for me to stay?" the scholar asked tentatively.
Shi'er nodded and gave him a smile.
The scholar was so happy that he immediately rushed to the ruins of the house and said loudly: "Wait a moment and let me see if there is anything else that can be used. As long as everything that has not been burned will be And take him away."
Shi'er blinked, suddenly turned to look at Qin Yao, pointed at him, made walking gestures with his fingers on the back of his hands, and then crossed his arms towards him.
Qin Yao couldn't help laughing: "You mean, you won't let me follow you?"
Shi'er nodded.
"Why, no matter what I said just now, it can be considered as helping you once?" Qin Yao said.
Shi'er waved to him repeatedly, and then simply turned away, obviously unwilling to say more.
Qin Yao smiled and said nothing.
Shao Qing, the scholar walked out of the ruins carrying a blackened bamboo basket, and said to Shi'er: "I've packed it up, let's go."
Shi'er slightly Nodding, he led him away from the riverside, looking back every step of the way. He felt relieved when he saw that Qin Yao and the others had always stopped where they were, with no intention of following them.
"Red evil spirit, white evil spirit, follow them!"
Under the night, Qin Yao took out the magic spirit bead from his pocket and silently summoned two figures, one red and one white...
Just before dawn.
Shi'er took the scholar to the dilapidated and desolate courtyard of 'Wumenju', pushed open an abandoned room covered with cobwebs, pointed at the scholar, and then pointed at the room.
"Are you willing to let me live in this house?" The scholar's eyes suddenly widened.
Although this house looked messy, it had a lot of space, the doors and windows were intact, and there were no mold spots on the walls. It was much better than the shabby house he had found by the river earlier.
Shi'er nodded slowly, pointed at the clutter in the room, and then outside. Then he patted the scholar on the shoulder and turned around to go out.
"A blessing in disguise!" The scholar murmured, and suddenly shouted at Shi'er's back: "Thank you, brother."
Shi'er turned to him He smiled, then walked out of the small courtyard in the sunshine...
Early morning.
All things are revived and full of vitality.
Shi'er was holding a doll in his hand and waiting in front of a stall, quietly waiting for his sweetheart to arrive.
It’s just that from Mao hour to Chen hour, he didn’t see his sweetheart coming at all, and a trace of worry gradually emerged in his heart.
Speaking of which, my sweetheart is also a child from a poor family and makes a living by selling knitted dolls. Under normal circumstances, he will appear at the stall at the end of the afternoon. Why is he missing today?
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. Shi'er suddenly stood up from a pillar, ran across the street quickly, and came to the door of his sweetheart's house. The scene in front of him made him feel as if he had been struck by lightning and his head was dizzy.
I saw this small door decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, with big red characters pasted on it. It was obvious that a daughter was about to leave the court.
"What are you doing? Don't block the door. The bride is going out soon." Suddenly, a middle-aged man walked out of the door and shouted at him.
Shi'er couldn't care less about the gag order spoken by his master at this moment, and asked: "Brother, is it Ai Yun who is leaving the cabinet?"
"It's not Ai Yun, could it be me? !"
Looking at his shabby appearance, the middle-aged man had no patience at all and waved his hand to drive him away: "Go quickly, go quickly, don't delay things here"
Shi'er had a thousand things he wanted to say in his heart, but he looked down at his dirty clothes and couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of his current situation.
How dare you enter the prosperous world if you have been poor all your life? How dare you mislead a beautiful lady with your gentle breeze?
How can a mediocre person like him be worthy of others?
Not to mention that he is from a small family, his good looks are his biggest asset.
It is better to marry into a rich family and be a concubine than to endure hardships by yourself...
"Coward!" Just as he was silently getting out of the way with his head downcast, a voice of hatred suddenly sounded in his ears. Looking up, he saw the man and woman from last night standing not far from him. It was the burly man who spoke. In his memory, his surname seemed to be Qin?
"Does the girl inside like you?" Qin Yao asked.
Shi'er didn't want to have too much involvement with this person, but at this moment, under the sadness, he felt a desire to tell: "I'm sure, she likes me too!"
< br>"You like her and she likes you, so why are you hesitating?"
Qin Yao pointed at the lively and festive courtyard and said in a deep voice: "You may regret it if you go, but you will definitely regret it if you don't go. Even if you go, if you don't make it, you will regret it for a while. If you don't go, if you don't make it, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Shi'er raised his arms and said to him: "Brother Dao, do you think I am worthy?"
"Are you unworthy at all?" Qin Yao asked.
"I am so poor, how dare I miss a beautiful woman?" Shi'er sighed.
Not to mention today, even hundreds of years later, there are still countless poor people who have this idea.
Qin Yao said calmly: "You are afraid that she will suffer hardships with you, then have you ever asked her if she is willing to suffer hardships with you?"
Shi'er was startled.
"I ask you again, have you ever thought that she may have been waiting for you to speak, or maybe she has been waiting for you to take the initiative. She may not want much, just that you take the initiative to take a step towards her. Why, you have nothing and you still want the other person to take the initiative to get close to your arms?" Qin Yao asked again.
Shi'er opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. His heart felt sour and astringent, with a hint of regret.
Qin Yao sighed: "Brother, by taking this step back, you not only rejected yourself, but also pushed her to a dead end! If it weren't for despair, do you think she would still like you? Next, agree to marry someone else?”
"Stop talking." Shi'er grabbed her hair irritably, with a look of struggle on her face: "No matter what you say, you can't hide the fact that I can't bring her happiness."
"Your definition of happiness is What?" Qin Yao asked.
Shi'er paused for a moment and said, "You have enough food and clothing, and you don't have to suffer from poverty anymore."
"To put it bluntly, it's money, right?" Qin Yao said.
Shi'er nodded helplessly: "Yes. Among all living beings, who can escape the control of money?"
Qin Yao took out Jinlan's pocket, summoned a medium-sized box, and delivered it to Shi'er: "Take it."
"What is this?" Shi'er asked in shock.
“Stop talking nonsense, take it!” Qin Yao scolded.
Shier took the wooden box blankly, with a confused look on his face.
“Open it.” Qin Yao said again.
Shi'er blinked and slowly opened the box. He was immediately dazzled by the golden light inside. In panic, he closed the box again with a bang.
"Do you see what it is?"
"Gold...gold! It's all gold!" Shi'er stammered.
Qin Yao smiled slightly: "I gave it to you."
"What?" Shi'er's heart trembled, and the box almost dropped to the ground.
"I said, I'll give it to you."
Qin Yao said: "What you want to express is, isn't it that money is a man's courage? Okay, money, I will give it to you. How about you, do you dare to take away your courage? Come out? Don’t ruin this girl’s sincerity in the name of poverty!”
Shi’er was dumbfounded.
Holding this box of gold bars, my eyes suddenly filled with tears, and I cursed: "Are you sick? You just give away a box of gold at your request?!"
"You know nothing! , if this little gold can make you have the courage to make lovers finally get married, what I have gained is Xi is not less than you." Qin Yao lost his patience, ducked behind him, and kicked him on the butt: "Go ahead, just carry this box of gold. If anyone looks down on you, blow his head with the box. . Damn it, I feel angry when I see you cowering like this!”
