Chapter 21

The place where groceries such as salt were sold was at Nanjiaomen, not far from the cattle and horse market. Most of the street was occupied by peasants dressed in coarse clothes and sackcloth.Those people squatted on the bluestone streets, and there was a bamboo basket in front of them, which contained either freshly threshed grains from their own homes, or ripened tangerines and mulberries from their own homes, all kinds of fruits.If you want to get a place to sell things in this sundry place, you have to pay a few pennies to the secretary in charge of these things in the market, get a straw label from him, put it on a bamboo basket, and those who walk Passers-by will only come to buy things when they see the grass label.

Yuan Shuyi took Tuobachen with him, and the two of them searched for a long time before they found Sishi, who was in charge of Nanjiaomen. At that time, the middle-aged man in a soap suit and a soap hat was drinking there. The wine was sold this morning. The farmer enshrined it to him, the millet wine that the farmer can only drink during the Chinese New Year. The drunk man hiccupped several times after drinking it, and his eyes were so blurred that he couldn't open it. I don't know if he heard the two of them want He used the money to buy grass bids, but also confiscated the money, and dumped one to them, "Go, go, you two little boys, don't disturb me drinking, I don't like men!" After finishing speaking, he burped again, Continue to be drunk and dreamy.

Tuo Bachen and Yuan Shuyi looked at each other, each amused.

Yuan Shuyi took the grass label and led Tuobachen to a place, untied the bag containing salt from his back and put it on the bluestone board, opened another bag containing clean linen, and spread the linen on the ground , and said to Tuoba Chen, "Chen'er sit on it, otherwise the ground will be too cold."

Her expression was too soft, her eyes were unconsciously charming, and there was a soft smile on her mouth.Tuo Bachen was really embarrassed when she saw her like this, she lowered her head and rubbed her linen clothes, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito, "Let's sit together."

"When did I say I won't sit?" Yuan Shuyi intentionally teased her, she found that this silly girl was so cute, she was shy at every turn, Yuan Shuyi had a bad temper, and couldn't help but want to tease her.After speaking, Yuan Shuyi sat down by herself, and pulled Tuoba Chen by the way, and she, who had bad legs and feet, crooked and fell beside Yuan Shuyi.

"..." Tuo Bachen didn't speak, blushing to the point of dripping blood, she sat down next to Yuan Shuyi, and she untied a bundle from her back, inside was a little thing she made up during the rainy season, what? Grasshoppers, dogs, and pigs are all favorites of the children in the town.

After inserting the grass label on the salt, Yuan Shuyi stopped talking, staring at the crowd coming and going, his eyes empty.As for Tuobachen, his black eyeballs rolled around, sneaking peeks at Yuan Shuyi for a while, and looking at the people passing by, the two of them sat on the bluestone slab covered with sackcloth, and said like a fool Not to mention, waiting for someone to buy their things.It really doesn't match the voice of "Grain, a penny, a bucket" who is peddling hard next to him.

Yuan Shuyi looked at the people who passed by and kept looking at her, feeling frustrated in her heart, feeling that she had been greatly insulted, and immediately became very sentimental.

Feng Shui turns, and now, I have become a beggar, and I can set up a stall here for a few pennies regardless of my status and face.Xuyu, I will never quarrel with you again. You asked me to kneel down in the ancestral hall and I will not run away privately. I will be obedient, be my young master, and listen to you well. You should come to me soon ah!I'm here, I can't hold on any longer...

Perhaps it was the good looks of the two of them that made a difference. After a while, a young man came to ask about the price of salt. Wen, anyway, the money is hers in the end.Tuobachen was not sure about Yuan Shuyi's attitude, but she still said the same price in the village. That person was used to buying expensive salt, but now seeing such cheap salt, he hesitated in his heart, thinking that the salt is poisonous Bar.Immediately, he hesitated and hesitated to leave.

"Twenty pennies a fight, do you want love or not?" Yuan Shuyi looked at the reaction of the shopper coldly, and suddenly understood that she had seen a lot of these people in the capital, and she was a little bored at the moment, and she didn't want to buy anything. Deal with them more.

On the contrary, it was Yuan Shuyi's sneering words and raising the price that made the person who came to buy salt dispel his worries. Seeing Yuan Shuyi's glamorous appearance comparable to a fairy, he immediately felt a little relieved. The one who is the most despised by the big guy in the town, relied on his own reading and became a gentleman in the rich family of the town, and he was a little shameless towards the peasants in the farm work.Especially this man is still a lecher, every time he gets monthly money he has to go shopping in the kiln, now looking at Yuan Shuyi, even though he is wearing men's clothing, he still can't hide her graceful figure, knowing that she is a woman disguised as a man, My heart felt itchy.He looked at Tuo Bachen who was sitting beside him, and thought she was Yuan Shuyi's husband, but she looked young and obviously couldn't beat him.All of a sudden, he felt guilty, he reached out and touched the back of Yuan Shuyi's hand, and said with a smile, "Give me a catty for brother."

"Bold!" Yuan Shuyi was disdainful just now, but now she was furious. Before Tuobachen could react, she took out the cowhide soft whip that had been coiled around her waist with a "swipe", and pointed at the young man "" "Crackling" was a slap, she kicked while slapping, and the man who hit him lay on the ground begging for mercy.

"I won't be named Yuan if I don't beat you to death today!" Yuan Shuyi was insane. It was the first time she was treated like this when she was so big. With her noble status and her superb martial arts, she dare not even touch a single hair of her hair. Now that this wild man who came from nowhere dares to do this, I'm afraid I'm going to die!Yuan Shuyi's eyes were azure blue, and the color as soft as lake water made her even more crazy. By the time Tuobachen reacted and wanted to stop him, the man had already breathed in more air than he was exhaling, and his mouth was bleeding uncontrollably. Seeing to die.However, Yuan Shuyi still didn't intend to give up. She sneered and took the whip, and said to the man lying on the ground trembling and knocking his head on the ground, "I have ten catties of salt here, and a lot of bamboo gadgets. , it’s cheap for you, take all 20 taels of silver away, and I’ll let you go, how about it?”

"Wuuu..." The man's nose was covered with tears, and he couldn't help nodding, and tremblingly took out an embroidered purse from his arms, before he could take out the 20 taels of silver, Yuan Shuyi had already snatched it up When she came over, she took out all the silver and a piece of medium-sized jade in disgust, and threw the purse on the ground with a wave of her hand. As if she couldn't get enough of it, she even stretched out her shoes and stepped on it. "I'll take all the money. You can take the salt and other things." Yuan Shuyi said, holding Tuobachen who was going to check on the man's injuries with a blank expression, and picked up the money. The bag they used to hold the salt, with a light pull, all the salt fell on the bluestone slab, and in the same way, she took away the bag that Tuo Bachen took to hold the bamboo things, and all those things fell on the bluestone slab. on the ground.

"Wuuuu..." The man beat the ground with his hands angrily when he saw her like this, but he was so beaten up by Yuan Shuyi that he couldn't even speak, he could only stare at Yuan Shu who was holding the money and the package. The figures of Yi and Tuobachen disappeared.As for the people around, they were all very happy to see that the sour book bag that usually bullies others was finally taught a lesson, let alone help. The man lay on the ground for a long time and no one helped him. Yuan Shuyi snatched it away, and he couldn't use money to get someone to run errands for him to call a doctor. In the end, a street sweeper sent him to the hospital before the market closed.But at that time, there was no way to recover, and the man passed away not long after he was sent to the hospital.

The government wanted to arrest people, but the witnesses at that time were farmers from four villages and eight townships, and they couldn't find them all for a while. In addition, the county magistrate's wife was about to give birth again at that time, and the county magistrate didn't care about it. A person with a bad reputation and no one at home, and soon the matter was settled.

In the final analysis, many acts of unrighteousness will lead to self-death.

Yuan Shuyi almost dragged Tuobachen to the side of the ox cart, Tuobachen was like a donkey, insisting on returning to see if the man was dead, Yuan Shuyi couldn't do anything about being disturbed by her, and said impatiently, "He's not dead. It's almost the same, even if I don't die, I will go back and stab him to death."

Tuo Bachen was terrified by her, her body couldn't help shaking, she felt like she fell into an ice hole in a world of ice and snow, it was the first time she saw someone kill someone in front of her, that person was Yuan Shuyi, she Yuan Shuyi, who always thought she was a good person.

"Hmph!" Yuan Shuyi sneered, she didn't want to provoke Tuo Bachen, but her look of horror and condemnation reminded her that when she was eight years old, she almost killed the person who stole her purse, In the end, her mother sealed the things in her body without telling her, and she was not allowed to learn witchcraft and voodoo, and she almost beat her to death. "Why, do you want me to pay for his life?" Yuan Shuyi sneered, and mist slowly appeared in his faintly blue eyes, "Okay, I'm here, you go to the Yamen to report, maybe you can still Get a few bounties."

"Yuan Shuyi..." Tuo Bachen couldn't hold back the tears and shed them, "Yuan Shuyi...you... woo..." She tried her best not to cry, but she still couldn't control those tears like rain After falling down, she shook her head, not wanting to talk anymore, she threw herself on Yuan Shuyi's body and cried even harder.

Yuan Shuyi tried hard to force back the tears from the corners of her eyes, she stood stiffly and did not move, letting Tuobachen hug her tightly and cry in a daze, she remembered the incident when she was eight years old again.

"Shu Yi, why did you beat him to death? Wouldn't it be better to teach him a lesson?" Her mother pressed a barbed whip to her.

"If people don't offend me, I won't offend others. If people offend me, I will let him know the price of offending me!" The little Yuan Shuyi replied without fear with his blue eyes open, "The life I care about is human life." !"

She couldn't remember how painful those barbed whips hit her body, Yuan Shuyi sighed and closed her eyes, she still doesn't feel that what she did was wrong.
