The righteous way of returning pearls

Snapped!

The sound of pulling the trigger was not loud, but it hit everyone's heart directly.

From the boy turning around, to the middle-aged man raising the gun and pulling the trigger, it took only a moment.Most of the judges present thought that the middle-aged aristocrat had forgiven the child, but in a blink of an eye, the situation changed suddenly, and the child was about to be killed by the gun.Some soft-hearted people couldn't bear to turn their heads and close their eyes.

The sound of gunfire was like thunder, causing severe pain in the left and right eardrums.Afterwards, the pitiful screams spread to everyone's ears.However, it wasn't the child's frequent death cry, but the middle-aged man who claimed to be a nobleman howled like a pig.

"Master! Oh, master, what's wrong with you?" The attendant opened his eyes in panic, looking at the middle-aged man who was fainting in pain.The man was in a state of distress, and his dress seemed to have been torn apart by a wild beast, leaving gaps, especially the sleeve of his right arm was turned into rags, and there was an unpleasant smell of burning.Looking down from the cuff, his right hand is swollen like a hoof, the skin is black and red, the black is like coal, the red is blood, two fingers are missing on it, and the remaining three are also tattered, even the phalanges are exposed come out.

"Is it a musket bombing?"

"Oh! This is God's punishment!"

"Is he really an aristocrat? Isn't he a nouveau riche? His attendants are so rude."

"Looking at his decent attire, I think he is indeed a nobleman. Although his servants are rude, as the master, he doesn't talk too much."

"Yes, he didn't argue with the poor. But so what? He gave people the illusion that he had forgiven the other party. But the next moment he picked up the gun and shot the child who turned his back. His character is still despicable of."

"Shhh! Keep your voice down, the other party is also a nobleman, so don't cause trouble."

"Yeah, after watching this scene, you and I should understand that the other party is narrow-minded. Don't let him hear what you say..."

"That's right. Are you afraid that he will shoot you in the back too?"

"Ha ha……"

The onlookers couldn't stop whispering, and the attendants in the circle knelt on one knee, looking at the fainting street master, and the more they looked, the more frightened they became.Not to mention the man's crippled right hand, several cuts of different shades were cut on his face covered with thick powder, and what made him dare not look directly was the tightly closed left eye, which was constantly bleeding.

"Oh! God!" the squire mourned bitterly, not knowing what to do now.The arrogance he had when he scolded children earlier has shrunk and disappeared without a trace.The attendant knew the master's temperament very well, he was very shameless and vicious, now that the master's hand was disabled, maybe even his eyes were hurt, how could the master dare to go out in the future?Even if you go to a banquet, you will be ridiculed...

Today's incident, no matter how it happened, has already led to irreparable consequences.And he will be beaten to death, and no one can save him.The attendant's heart was beating like thunder. He wanted to escape, but he had nowhere to go, let alone any way to escape.For a while, I hated the child who caused all these disasters.

Maybe grabbing the untouchable would make the master less angry with him.Maybe it was to escape, maybe it was to survive the death, the attendant suddenly raised his head, but there were no women and children, he roared nervously as if he had grasped the last straw. "Catch them, grab that damned pariah! He has seriously injured my master, and I can't let him escape! No—! How can you just leave like this with a pariah who has hurt a nobleman? Whoever it is, If the child is caught, my master will offer a rich reward. Ten louis, no, twenty louis! Oh, for God's sake, please..."

For hysterical attendants, most people choose to leave to avoid trouble.Even those who want to make a windfall do not dare to express their enthusiasm for fear of being despised by everyone.He didn't stop the child from leaving before, if he took over the work from the attendant at this moment, wouldn't he tell everyone that he lost face for the reward and became a slave to money?When the caring person calms down and raises his head, where can he find the figure of the woman and the child.

"Is there anything else you want to buy?" Tianyou turned his head and asked Yunhe, pulling down the fat son who was covering his eyes with his fleshy paws.

Hey, what about the kid who was beaten?Wonton opened his eyes wide and looked around, but he didn't see the children, only the servants baring their teeth and claws like crazy, and the middle-aged man lying on the ground like rags.Wonton breathed a sigh of relief.

At that time, the middle-aged man took out his musket and pointed it at the child's back. Little Wonton subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes.Wonton didn't know what a pistol was, only that when the family went to a picnic, there were a few times when my father would take it out and aim it at wild boars, deer, or hares.After the bang, pigs, rabbits, etc. will fall down, and there will be meat to eat.

It's just that Wonton didn't expect to meet a weird person who likes to eat children.Is the baby's meat delicious?Girl Qiu and the nuns all said that he was the most obedient, well-behaved, and most beautiful child, so would the weirdo catch him and eat him?However, Wonton tilted his head and thought, today is a bit special. After the sound, the child did not fall down, but the strange person who fell down.Is it... is it what Miss Chun said that evil comes with evil?

The cloud-appreciating crane sat upside down on his arm, his son obviously distracted, smiled at Tianyou and said, "Thank you for the top hat you chose, I have nothing to buy. It's still early for lunch, and it's not far from the Doris Hotel, why don't we go for a walk past?"

"Alright." Tianyou took the wonton and put him down on the ground.Taking advantage of Tianyou's opportunity to tidy up the small dress for Wonton, Yunhe sent cakes and desserts to the carriage and ordered him to turn around to his residence.Then, Tianyou and Yunhe walked side by side, and Wonton held his mother's skirt with his left hand, walking between the two, slowly pacing and admiring the unique romantic atmosphere of Paris.

"Good sir, madam, kind young master. Please do me a favor and give the poor beggar a Daniel, and God will bless you."

Compared to Yunhe and Tianyou who were talking softly while walking, Wonton, who was full of thoughts, was the first to look at the trembling and approaching beggar.Beggar looked a few years older than Wonton, with a sallow complexion, skinny and skinny.Wearing tattered and thin linen clothes, it can't even block the cool autumn wind.

"Ugh..."

"What's wrong?" Seeing his son making an unidentified grunt, Shang Yunhe lowered his head and asked.

Little Wonton looked up at her father, blinked her black eyes, and whispered, "He is so pitiful."

Yunhe didn't say much immediately, and took twenty francs and stuffed them into the chubby hands of the ravioli.

In the past few years, Tianyou and Yunhe traveled to various countries and traveled to many places.Wonton grew up day by day, and I remember meeting beggars many times along the road, and it was my mother who asked Chun girl and the others to give alms.Now that his father handed over the money to him, Little Wonton carefully held the franc, bit his lips, let go of his five fingers pinching the hem of Tianyou's skirt as if determined, took out two silver louis from his small pocket, and held them in both hands. Pass it to the beggar together.

Twenty francs and two louis in silver were, to the little beggar, a fortune beyond his wildest dreams.He was afraid that his dirty fingers would touch the young master's white and tender fat hand, which would annoy the kind-hearted nobleman, so he didn't even dare to reach out to pick it up.It was Little Wonton who saw the beggar standing still in a daze and yelled, which woke the beggar up and accepted the gift in ecstasy.

"Well-meaning young master, kind-hearted sir, kind-hearted lady, God will bless you all." The beggar held the silver coin tightly with red eyes, and bowed again and again until the beggar in the distance looked like a cat smelling fish. Only when he got closer, he bowed deeply, and ran into the alley, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Appreciating Yunhe waved his arm, and the spun carriage by the side of the avenue came quickly. The driver jumped out of the carriage, bowed to Yunhe and said, "Do you want to take the carriage, sir?"

"Yes." Yunhe nodded and said, "Go to Doris Hotel."

"Okay, sir." The coachman opened the door courteously, Yunhe picked up his son and helped Tianyou get into the car.

After Tianyou's family of three boarded the carriage, the coachman jumped on the driver's seat and lightly slapped the whip on the horse's buttocks.The horse rattled up and ran away, leaving behind the beggars who came forward.

The environment in the Doris Hotel is elegant and lyrical, with lyrical music played by entertainers, covering the whispered conversations of the diners.Tianyou and Yunhe served their son with dishes while tasting the delicacies.

"The layout of this store is different from that of the Qing Dynasty, but it is very comfortable."

"That's right. The countries in Europe are closely distributed, and there are wars all the year round. But it's because of this that more things are unearthed. For example, gunpowder was recorded as early as the Sui Dynasty, but it was used for alchemy to make fireworks, but 'it' arrived Europe has become a deadly weapon. There is also the compass, which cannot be reused in my dynasty, but is held in the hands of the people here to travel across the ocean and discover the New World." Tianyou laughed a little self-deprecatingly: "Isn't there no Qing Dynasty?" In war, it's just that the superiors are too comfortable and too timid."

Shangyunhe listened carefully and understood what Tianyou meant.God Bless is regretting, but it's a pity that the East is a spiritual land full of humanities, and they end up making wedding dresses for others.The Qing Dynasty was ruled by the Manchus, but compared with the Han people, the Manchus were far too few.The Manchus are naturally afraid, afraid that the Han people will join forces to overthrow the Qing Dynasty.But while the Manchus were guarding against the Han people, they only cared about their immediate interests and forgot about the changes in other countries.The Europeans are ambitious and full of yearning for the mysterious East and the rich Qing Dynasty. If they have the ability, they will definitely divide the Qing Dynasty like dividing up the New World.

However, since Tianyou entered the dynasty, there have been changes, right?The emperor has changed, the queen mother has been changed, the cancer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been removed, firearms have been made, and sailing ships have been removed... Now, the Qing Dynasty sends eight batches of sailing ships to the western countries every year, and there are also appointed officials, missionary monks, and well-educated craftsmen. Residing in various countries...

Shang Yunhe whispered: "If you are worried, I will send someone..."

"No need." Tianyou sighed slightly: "I have done enough, if I continue to do it, why should there be a Qianlong dynasty? I just don't seek meritorious deeds, but seek no faults."

Scholars of later generations often criticized the Qing emperor as worthless, saying that the Qing Dynasty was a symbol of the retrogression of civilization and history.They praised the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, saying that without the ravages of the Manchus, the Western powers would not succeed in aggression under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.Then there will be no sad history of semi-colonial and semi-feudalism, the concession of the Republic of China, and Japanese aggression.

But in Tianyou's view, these people are just looking at the former with the eyes of the latter, and the latter can naturally learn from the past.The Qing Dynasty did have many shortcomings, because people's vision is limited, but the Ming Dynasty was so good, how could it be broken by the iron hooves of the Eight Banners of Manchuria? ... Tianyou smiled wryly, as expected, he still couldn't forget all the things in the past, but these were all smoke and clouds to him now.No matter what people in the future say, the present is the most important thing.

Yunhe took a deep look at Tianyou, and didn't try to persuade him to say anything.I just clip two oysters for Tianyou and cut a steak for my son from time to time.

"Wonton, why don't you eat it? What are you thinking?" Tianyou came back to his senses, saw his son frowning, he didn't know why, and asked.He didn't teach Hongshi and Hongli much when they were young, and even though he didn't kill them, they were considered dead by him.The son Wonton in this life is naturally different from those evil sons.But it was because his son was well-behaved that he cared more.

In the past, Tianyou would never call him a nickname like Wonton, but Yunhe kept calling him that. If he didn't call it that way, Wonton might misunderstand that he doesn't value him.In order to make the child feel at ease, God Bless has nothing to do.

Little Wonton pouted, looking at Tianyou with confusion on her fair face, and asked, "Mother, will that weird person come to eat Wonton?"

Um?Rao is blessed by God, but he was also dumbfounded by Wonton's sudden question.

"Who's the weirdo?" Yunhe looked at the stunned Tianyou with a smile, and turned to ask his silly son.

"That's right, that's the one just now, fierce, woo..." Little Wonton was only four years old after all, and she didn't know how to express it, so she could only make a gesture of raising a gun to aim.

Tianyou wondered: "Why do you say he is a weirdo?"

"He wants to eat wonton!" Wonton replied naturally.

"I also eat ravioli." Tianyou didn't know if there was such a food as ravioli in France, but is it weird to eat ravioli?

Little Wonton was stunned, staring at Tianyou stupidly, and after a long while, like a scolded milk dog, it drooped its ears and drooped its tail, stretched out its fat arms like lotus roots, and brought it to Tianyou's mouth, pitifully saying: "Wonton Give it to mother to eat, not to be caught and eaten by weirdos."

'Wonton' is the fat son?

Tianyou relented a bit for Wonton's sacrifice, and then looked at Yunhe dumbfounded.Shang Yunhe rubbed the head of the wonton, and comforted his cranky son: "Your mother is joking with you, so I won't eat you."

Really?

"Let me eat whoever I want, and I won't eat you." Tianyou was afraid that wonton would be frightened, so he could only respond seriously to his nonsense.

After hearing Tianyou's words, Wonton suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes, got up and hugged Tianyou's waist, leaned forward and kissed him with saliva all over his face. "I knew it, I knew it, mother is the best for me!"

"Okay, sit down and eat." The Cloud Appreciation Crane pulled the wonton wrapped around Tianyou, and said lightly: "If you are disobedient, I won't take you out next time."

"Well, wonton is obedient." The fat baby sat down obediently, picked up a small fork and ate the steak that his father had cut.

Tianyou was puzzled and said, "How could you think of weird people coming to arrest you?"

Wonton swallowed the beef, wiped his lips with silk, and replied: "Daddy bangs on rabbits and wild boars, mother and Wonton eat meat. Weird people bang on dolls and eat children. Mammy said Wonton is the best young master in the world." , very tender. That child is gone, the weirdo can't find him, won't he come looking for wonton?"

"No." Shang Yunhe said categorically, but he regretted that he was too kind and should have made him immobilized forever before the other party took out the gun. "Don't worry, Wonton, dad won't let you be taken away."

"Wonton is not afraid now." Wonton replied.

"En." Yunhe nodded in satisfaction.

Who knows, Wonton suddenly said awkwardly: "But, Wonton may still be afraid at night."

"So?" Yun He narrowed his eyes.

Wonton blinked her big eyes, stared at Tianyou and said, "Sleep with mother at night, so Wonton won't be afraid."

Just as Yunhe wanted to refute, Tianyou beside him had already agreed.Looking at Wonton's happy face, Yunhe deeply thought that the child should be stupid.

The author has something to say: Thank you for your reply ^_^, thank you for the friend who cared about my health, my health is still not good, it is a disease that cannot be cured.I'm actually dizzy now, I don't know why I'm so dizzy" "

What worries me the most is that I keep dreaming about my dead relatives, often dreaming, and I don’t even think about it in the morning?strangeness.
