The sky is getting brighter, the night is fading away, and a new day has begun.

The gatekeepers yawned and opened the small gates on both sides of the city wall for the common people to enter and exit. As soon as the gates were opened, people entering and leaving the city swarmed over. Tax, after entering the city, walking like flying with a load full of vegetables and local products, fearing that it will be too late.

After the hawkers entered the city, the shops in the city also opened in twos and threes. The fog had not dissipated yet, and the air was a bit chilly. There were stalls selling breakfast and hours on the street, and steam was steaming from the steamer, which added some warmth to the morning.

A moment later, the sun will come out, and it will be even warmer at that time, but at that time, the servants of the big families who are in charge of purchasing, and the ordinary people living in the city should come out to buy vegetables, it is the time to do business Woolen cloth.

Most of this street sells vegetables, such as vegetables, poultry and eggs. The vegetable farmers arrange the dishes and sprinkle a little water to make the fresh and tender vegetables look more green. After everything is ready, they stamp their hands and feet Waiting for customers to come, but once you are free, your stomach starts to growl.

In order to ensure the freshness of the vegetables, I hurriedly went to the field to pick them in the middle of the night, then fetched buckets of water in the well, washed them in the moonlight, and then hurriedly carried the burden to the gate of the city to line up. There are not many people, if it is later, when there are many people, you can't find a stall when you enter the city, and today's business will be ruined.

After working for most of the night, I didn't even drink my saliva. The more thrifty took out the noodle cakes prepared at home and the cold water in the gourd, and filled my stomach a little. The more generous gritted my teeth and bought two steaming steamed buns. After adding a bowl of hot water, a mouthful of steamed buns poured down with a big mouthful of hot water, and the whole body was warmed up. The taste was simply the ultimate enjoyment.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the sun finally brought a little warmth. Under the wall in the northwest corner, a dark thing moved slightly and made an indistinct murmur. The morning is like a bolt from the blue, which startled the peddlers around.

What is that? !

Everyone whispered and glanced over there carefully, but after all they didn't dare to get closer.

A few brave ones were about to go over to have a look, and the first wave of guests arrived.

Of course, doing business is important. Seeing the lump of black thing not moving again, the peddlers put it behind them and devoted themselves to attracting customers.

After this wave of guests passed, an hour had passed, the cold air dissipated, the sun became warmer and warmer, and the hawkers even broke out in a sweat.

The lump of black thing moved again, moved and moved up from the ground, it turned out to be a person!

It's just that his clothes are tattered and full of dirt, layers of black with inexplicable light shining, dragging behind him very ill-fittingly, there is only one shoe on his feet, and two holes are missing, and the toes are exposed , the other foot was covered with mud, and there were thin cracks. His hair was scattered like dry grass covering his face, with cobwebs hanging from it, and he couldn't see what he looked like.

Maybe it was too cold at night, he was curled up in a big tattered robe, motionless, staying with a pile of broken baskets, those who passed by thought it was rubbish, and didn't notice that it was a person at all!

Now he stood up and walked to the street, startling countless passers-by, it was so dirty!

The people hanging around in front of the various vegetable stalls were so frightened that they immediately threw the vegetables in their hands back into the boxes, running faster than rabbits, for fear of being infected with some kind of disease, and the vendors would not be able to pull them back.

More than half of the dishes were sold in the morning, and the rest was going to be sold out before lunch, but the few customers who were left were scared away, and the anger of the vendors can be imagined.

"This is a vegetable market, don't you know that beggars are not allowed to stay?!"

"Go back to your beggar's heap!"

"Get out, get out, or tell the official to arrest you and eat in prison."

The beggar didn't know if he was stupid or he couldn't hear, but he still walked staggeringly, his feet slipped on the uneven road, and he fell towards the bun shop.

The lady proprietress of the steamed stuffed bun shop let out a cry of surprise, she grabbed a piece of furniture and threw him out. He swayed and fell towards the egg stall again. Several eggs were broken.

"Damn it! Is it easy for me to save a few eggs, old lady?! You mangy dog ​​with hands and feet, you pay me for my eggs!"

With some strength, the old woman grabbed the beggar who was lying on the ground, and pushed and shoved, but it was obvious that he couldn't afford it, so she had to beat him a few times in the end.

The beggars were outraged, you threw a piece of rotten vegetables to the peddlers, I threw a stone, and even the fish sellers poured a basin of water to drive the beggars out of the market.

The beggar staggered along with his head buried, as if he hadn't woken up yet, and his thoughts were no longer lifeless. At least he knew how to avoid pedestrians. Even so, he suffered a lot of white-eyed insults along the way, and everyone who saw him covered his eyes. The nose runs away.

Being driven from one street to another, the sun has already risen in mid-air, this street is more prosperous, and there are more beggars, the younger ones are smiling and begging for alms from passers-by, and occasionally they can get Get some copper plates.

The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled squatted under the wall diagonally opposite a restaurant, with a bowl in front of them, hoping that kind people would give them something to eat.

The beggar walked over and found an unoccupied place far away to squat alone, leaning against the wall in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

It's noon, and everyone has more or less received goods, even if there is no money, there is always some food, only the beggar has nothing.

An old beggar couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing that he didn't even have a begging bowl, he took a broken bowl and walked over to it, put it in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Young man, if you don't want to beg for food, don't worry about it." To eat, you have to ask for it yourself, there is nothing difficult, as long as you are alive, it is better than anything else!"

The beggar's eyeballs hidden behind his hair moved, seeing that the old beggar had gone, he hesitated to pick up the bowl, stared blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

He deserved his luck. As soon as he picked up the bowl, someone stuffed a copper plate into the bowl. The beggar raised his head, and it was a child. Seeing his appearance, the child backed up a few steps in fright, and summoned up his courage to say, "Seeing you, hello!" It’s been a few days, I’ll give you the money, go buy some food!”

After finishing speaking, he ran away.

After a while, another woman put a steamed bun in front of him, turned around and said to the son next to her, "See, if you don't study hard, if you don't have the skills, you will hate him like him. You don't even have to eat meat buns!"

Her son quickly replied: "I must study hard!"

……

In this way, after a while, a lot of food was put in front of the beggar. In addition to half a steamed bun and a few coppers, there was actually a dime of silver in the bowl. People passing by would use him as a negative example to educate their own. Children, those who have no children to educate should sigh a few words.

"Those who have hands and feet don't go to look for a decent job, but come to be a beggar. Alas, the world is going down!"

"I've seen this beggar on several streets. He just finds a place to hide, and he doesn't take the initiative to ask people for money. When others give him something to eat, he just takes it. He doesn't even know how to thank him. Not stupid!"

"Well, maybe there's some difficulty?"

"Look at him so pitiful. I don't know why, but my heart is always a little bit hard."

"Living like this, I am sorry for my parents, I am sorry for my brothers and nephews, and I am ashamed of the family. If I were to die, I would have died in this world. What face do I have to live in this world!"

I don't know which sentence pierced the nerve of the beggar, but he suddenly raised his head to the sky and screamed, then beat the ground with one hand, covered his face and cried bitterly, and laughed a few times from time to time.

"Crazy, crazy, this is a lunatic!"

Pedestrians were all startled, their faces showed panic, and they ran away at a speed several times faster than usual. Beggars are not scary, but lunatics are scary, and lunatics are irrational. In the end, beating him won't help, it's not worthwhile for pearls to touch rubble, so let's hide!

After howling for a while, the beggar got up on the ground, carried the broken bowl and walked away. He gnawed on the steamed buns in the bowl, sometimes laughed and sometimes cried, and there was a hint of free and easy in his madness.

After he left, the food left on the ground was quickly divided up, and even the land was occupied by others.

He just sat there for a while, and he got some money. This place seems to be a treasure of geomantic omen!

In the window of the restaurant, there were two women standing at the window, taking a panoramic view of everything below.

Ji Liuyue frowned, watched the beggar run away madly, and asked, "Has he been like this for the past three years?"

Luo nodded: "That's right, I don't know what he is thinking about every day in a daze. In the past three years, he has traveled to many towns, and he will be kicked out in the end. He can't even be a beggar. He is really The person chosen by heaven?"

Luo looked puzzled. This beggar was Liu Chenxiang. After Liu Chenxiang was deceived by Yang Jian and lost his magic power, he was exiled in the world. Luo was entrusted by Lu Ya to find Liu Chenxiang in the world and protect him secretly. Calamity is the cause and effect that must be paid back, so unless his life is in danger, he will not make a move under certain circumstances.

After secretly following Liu Chenxiang for three years, she became more and more confused, is this the kind of virtue that the Son of Heaven has?The replacement of the rules of heaven is a major event, Chengtian is ordered to be able to do it unless he is talented, virtuous and benevolent. This Liu Chenxiang, she did not see that he has the above qualities.

Ji Liuyue knew Luo's doubts, but in fact she didn't understand either, but:

"Since he was chosen, it means that he has his own advantages, right? Maybe it's a compassionate heart? The courage to go forward?"

"Being compassionate and merciful, break the [-]th floor of hell and let the evil spirits go out?"

"Perhaps he himself didn't know that there would be such serious consequences, and he just made a knife in someone else's hand. Now he is paying off his karmic debt! When he finishes paying off, he should naturally go on the right way way."

"Can he really do it?"

"It should be possible." Ji Liuyue looked up at the sky, "Heavenly Dao has carefully planned for so long, how can he let him fall short?"

It is said to repay karma, so why not give him experience and let him grow?Taking them all into account, there is nothing left to do!
