Xiao Duan's acting skills amazed Liu Jinan.

"Ding Ding!"

The sound of the copper coins entering the bowl was crisp and pleasant, and Liu Jinan thanked him happily: "Thank you for the reward, boss. May you become rich and powerful, have a lot of money, and live in peace and happiness!"

He held the copper coin in his hand and showed it off to Xiao Duan: "Look, this is our first pot of gold!"

The boy's eyes are clear and bright, and his happiness is pure and contagious.

It's just a copper coin.

Duan Haiping swallowed the sarcasm that was about to come out of his mouth, even though he didn't like the dirty makeup and tattered clothes at all.

But he likes the happy Liu Jinan.

"Can we buy candied haws now?" Duan Haiping asked.

Although I don't know what the prices were like in that era, it would definitely be so bad that one copper coin couldn't buy three candied haws.

Liu Jinan waved his hands and said, with an expression that said, "Why are you such a spendthrift?" "This is start-up capital, we can't waste it casually. Watch it carefully and learn it well."

Duan Haiping followed Liu Jinan without knowing why, and went to the market to buy two pairs of clappers and some rouge.

The copper coins were exchanged for small pieces of paper money. Liu Jinan put them back into the bowl and used rouge to add some color to the corners of his mouth.

She also put some rouge on her knees, elbows and other parts to make them look like they were covered with scars.

He also put battle-damaged makeup on Xiao Duan.

When the soft fingertips pressed on his lips, Duan Haiping inevitably thought of the kiss that night and the madness buried in his heart.

"Okay, is that it?" he said in mock impatience.

He didn't dare to look Liu Jinan in the eye, so he had to turn to the side.

"immediately."

Liu Jinan admired his masterpiece and had to say that Xiao Duan had a really good foundation. Even after being rubbed so hard by him, he could still see the other's handsome facial features.

"Okay, you're responsible for selling your face, and I'll be responsible for selling my skills," he said, dividing the work, "Let's try to earn some extra pocket money."

Duan Haiping discovered that the little guy seemed to have a great passion for making money.

He watched Liu Jinan pick up the clapperboard and put in 200% of his enthusiasm.

"After being beaten with a bamboo board like this, we won't praise anything else. We will just praise this Liu family kid for being so filial!"

"He lost his father the day before yesterday, and his mother yesterday. In order to arrange his parents' funeral, he kneeled down here to beg."

"Kind people passing by, uncles and aunts, please be kind and let the child eat something good!"

"In the next life, we will work like slaves to repay you all!"

Duan Haiping: “…”

He shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and agreed to let Liu Jinan come here to beg!

Between dying of poverty and dying of starvation, they chose social death.

However, social death is rewarded. More and more people come to watch, and the reward money in their bowls gradually fills up.

Liu Jinan was not greedy and after playing the clappers three or four times, he was ready to close the stall.

"Thank you for your kindness to us. This song is dedicated to all the kind people who sympathize with our plight."

He sang with deep emotion: "Thank you for your kindness..."

He grabbed Xiao Duan, who was pretending to be dead, and threatened him with his eyes: "Sing faster!"

"I come from far away, where do I belong..." Duan Hai said calmly, "I have seen all the hardships in this world."

After each song was sung, there was thunderous applause and their bowls were completely filled.

Some people even asked them, "Will you come again next time, brother?"

Liu Jinan never forgot the persona he had created: "I'll come again, but I won't come again until we save enough money to buy a coffin for our parents."

He held Duan Haiping's hand, leaving his lonely back to everyone.

As soon as he turned into the alley, he was immediately overjoyed: "Xiao Duan, we've made a fortune. Come on, I'll treat you to some candied haws!"

Duan Haiping stared at the money in the bowl, feeling bitter and resentful, as if the money was filled with his humiliation.

They were about to go to the street to buy candied haws when a fierce-looking middle-aged man came towards them, playing with a knife in his hand.

Liu Jinan politely gave way and continued walking towards his destination.

"stop!"

He just pretended not to hear.

"Those two kids in front!" the middle-aged man shouted angrily, "I told you two to stop right there!"

Liu Jinan looked back in confusion and said, "Uncle, our bowls are full. Please come earlier next time if you want to donate."

"Bah!" the man spat, "Donate your damn money, if you know what's best for you, hand it over!"

It turns out that he is not a kind person, but a robber!

Liu Jinan stuffed the bowl into Xiao Duan's arms: "What money? I don't know."

The middle-aged man laughed evilly and said, "Still pretending? I've been observing you for a long time. If you want to fool me, dream on!"

Tsk, in this world, there are people who even set their sights on beggars.

I'm really hungry.

Liu Jinan looked at the man in front of him. He was so poor that he had to resort to robbery. He probably didn't have much money.

unlucky.

The middle-aged man probably never imagined that while he was robbing the two children, the children were also thinking about robbing him.

Black eats black.

Liu Jinan crossed his arms and said disapprovingly, "I don't have any money, but I have my life."

"It seems that you value money more than your life. Well, I'll grant your wish!" The middle-aged man walked towards the two men with a dagger in his hand and a grin on his face.

Liu Jinan glanced at Xiao Duan. He didn't want to expose Xiao Duan's special ability as that would be too eye-catching, unless he killed the only eyewitness.

"You little bastards, are you scared? Put the money down quickly and I can spare your lives." The middle-aged man waved the knife in his hand and said harshly.

"What if I refuse?" Liu Jinan smiled slightly, "Is uncle going to kill me?"

Kill, kill?

I just came out to rob someone, why did it have to be like this?

Duan Haiping saw through him at a glance: "He is a coward who looks strong but is weak at heart."

The implication is that this guy probably has never killed anyone.

"Then I'll rob him and save his life?" Liu Jinan asked Xiao Duan for his opinion.

Duan Haiping: "I prefer to cut the weeds at their roots."

"Do you really take me, Yang Dachui, seriously? Ahhhh, I'm going to fight you!" Yang Dachui rushed towards the two men with a dagger raised.

When he was knocked away by Liu Jinan's punch, his eyes were full of disbelief.

How could a little kid get so much strength?

Liu Jinan picked up the dagger that he had dropped on the ground, threw it casually and caught it again, then slowly walked up to the man.

"Should I search you, or do you want to hand over the money yourself?" He tapped Yang Dachui's face with his dagger, the sharp blade moving around the man's neck, "Three, two..."

"I give, I give!"

Yang Dachui was almost scared to death. He quickly emptied his pockets and gave the few remaining silver dollars to Liu Jinan.

"Is that all?" Liu Jinan frowned in disdain. She didn't even earn as much as he did.

"My dear, if I had money, would I come out to rob people?" Yang Dachui cried and swore to the sky, "It's really gone. If you don't believe me, search for it."

Liu Jinan patted his shoulder and said, "Be down-to-earth and don't think about robbing every day. You will lose your life sooner or later. I have confiscated the tools used in the crime. Don't thank me too much."

Yang Dachui: “…”

Liu Jinan was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and gave him the clapperboard.

"The master leads you to the door, but the practice is up to you. I think you have seen it once and learned it all, right?"

Yang Dachui looked at the crude clapperboard.

I want to cry without tears.
