Traveling through life to become rich

The winter snow lasted for two days before it stopped, and it was already afternoon when the snow stopped.

Xie Mingyu didn't dare to delay any longer, so she asked Shen Yanzhi to wait obediently at home, and hurriedly hired a carriage to go to the Dongcheng Yamen to pay the money. Fortunately, she was not late, and after paying the money, she got a reply from the paperwork, and she could come to pick up the land deed in five days.

Five days is not a long time, Xie Mingyu was very happy to hear that, because the snow had just stopped, the streets were full of snow sweepers, and there were not many shops open, Xie Mingyu didn't stay any longer, and went back directly.

It took him more than two hours to go back and forth, but he didn't want something to happen to Shen Yanzhi in this short period of time.

Xie Mingyu went out to do errands, and Shen Yanzhi stayed at home obediently. He read the book for a while, and then ran to the yard to build a snowman.

It snowed in the winter before, but because I was too poor at that time, I didn’t have enough to eat, and I wore thin clothes. I just wanted to hide under the quilt all day, so as to be warmer, so I didn’t dare to play in the snow.

But it is different now, he is wearing the clothes that Xie Mingyu bought for him, which is said to be called thermal underwear, and then put on his own coat. The whole person is warm and does not feel cold at all. The childishness in my heart came out, and I built a snowman in the yard.

The snowman's round belly hadn't been piled up yet, and there was a strange laughter from outside the yard: "Yo, I'm so excited, I still have time to build a snowman. Brothers haven't eaten all day, so I'll lend you some." Spend some money on flowers."

Shen Yanzhi was startled by the sudden sound, and the snow in his hand spilled directly. He turned around and saw four or five gangsters dressed in colorful clothes standing outside the gate of the yard.

Shen Yanzhi's home is not simple. The sleeping room is simple, the kitchen is simple, and the yard is even more simple. Just use a few thicker branches to fix a few points, and then connect them with ropes, with sparse gaps in the middle. Some branches simply surround a yard, and the height is not high, only reaching the height of an adult's waist.

Naturally, Shen Yanzhi knew these people. They were well-known gangsters in Fuller Street. These gangsters usually bully the weak, rob, steal, and do all kinds of evil. Many people have been bullied by them, and Shen Yanzhi has also been bullied by them.

But since Xie Mingyu lived here, these people have never appeared in front of him again, and Shen Yanzhi almost forgot that the place where he lived was a notorious slum.

If Xie Mingyu were here, he would be able to recognize that these gangsters were the culprits who besieged the original owner and caused the original owner's death.

These bastards usually spend a lot of money, eat and drink as long as they get money, and then rob and steal when they don't have any money. They live a very chic life.

Now they suddenly came to the door, and the only thing they said was to borrow money to spend. Presumably, they had already inquired clearly about the fact that they sold sesame seed cakes to make money.

Shen Yanzhi was bullied by them before and was afraid. Hearing that they wanted money, he didn't think about resisting, so he handed over a money bag he was carrying, which contained more than 100 copper coins. It made him feel a little distressed to give these gangsters for nothing.

One of the gangsters took the money bag over, weighed it twice and sneered: "That's all? What do you think we are brothers? Send a beggar?" He lifted his foot and kicked the fence made of branches to pieces up.

A few hooligans came in with grinning grin, one of them was a fat man picking his teeth, and said in a foolish way: "I advise you not to be ignorant of flattery, and hand over all the money quickly, otherwise don't blame our brothers for being cruel."

The person who spoke was the head of a few gangsters, named Zhao Qi, he was fat and strong, with oily bumps all over his face, he was able to eat himself like this in the slums, it can be seen that he did not eat less greasy things on weekdays .

Shen Yanzhi's face turned pale with fear, but he still mustered up his courage and said: "I only have this money with me, there is nothing extra."

"That's all? Who are you lying to? I think you are toasting and not eating fine wine! Don't think that you guys don't know that sesame seed cakes are five copper coins a piece, so you're making a lot of money, right? Huh?" Zhao Qi looked arrogant. He looked like, "As long as you hand over the money, my brothers won't make things difficult for you, but don't make things difficult for my brothers, otherwise, hehe..." The threat was self-evident.

There was indeed a few coins at home, which were hidden under the bed by Shen Yanzhi.

But this is what he saved from selling sesame seed cakes with Xie Mingyu for several days. He was really reluctant to ask him to hand it over, so he just lowered his head and said, "I really don't have any more. I only have this silver on me."

Zhao Qi was furious when he heard that, he raised his leg and kicked Shen Yanzhi to the ground, and said fiercely: "Since you are so ignorant, don't blame us! Brothers, go to the house to find it! It's useful!" Take it away, smash the useless ones directly! Do it!"

After Zhao Qi finished speaking, the rest of the people rushed into the room laughing, and then there was a crisp sound, presumably the kettle and the bowl on the table were smashed, and then there was a jingling sound.

Shen Yanzhi was so anxious that he didn't even care about his fear. He wanted to get up and rush into the house, but Zhao Qi kicked him hard again, and shouted: "Stay honest, don't get in the way of your mother!"

This kick was on his stomach, Shen Yanzhi curled up in pain, and broke out in cold sweat.

Seeing this, Zhao Qi snorted disdainfully, and was about to mend his feet again, when he suddenly saw a red string on Shen Yanzhi's wrist, with a bell on it, and the bell was real silver, which could be exchanged for a lot of money.

A sinister smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Qi's face, and he reached out to pull the rope down.

Shen Yanzhi's whole body was convulsed by the pain, but suddenly he felt the rope in his hand being pulled by force, and he became anxious immediately.

The bell rope was the first gift Xie Mingyu gave him, and he cherished it very much at ordinary times, he even took it with him when he took a bath, so he was reluctant to take it off.

Seeing that Zhao Qi was about to be pulled, he struggled hard to protect him from being pulled down, and kicked Zhao Qi away while struggling.

Zhao Qi accidentally touched Shen Yan's foot, and suddenly became furious, slapping him like a cattail fan.

Shen Yanzhi couldn't beat him, so he quickly endured the pain in his body, got up and ran outside.

Zhao Qi was fatter and couldn't stand running. He started panting after running for dozens of steps, while the rest of the gangsters were rummaging through the house, not noticing the outside, and let Shen Yanzhi run away.

Seeing that Shen Yanzhi ran away and he didn't get the silver bell, Zhao Qi was very annoyed. The Ling brothers searched Shen Yanzhi's house thoroughly, and finally found out the money.

After that, Zhao Qi was still out of anger, and the evil came from his guts, so he set fire to the house directly.

Fortunately, there was a thick layer of snow on the ground, and the place where Shen Yanzhi lived was very remote, so the fire didn't spread, and it didn't affect other families without reason.

But after that, he and Xie Mingyu would definitely not be able to live.
