Chapter 87 - Don't reveal your wealth

An hour later, Chi Zhongtian and Aoshuangxue had returned to Cangzhou City.

The two of them randomly found a teahouse and ordered a pot of tea and a four-color platter.

"Brother Tian, ​​have you noticed that the people from the Fuyu Sect seem to have a special liking for swords? They wanted your Chengying before, but now they want Tianwen, are they famous sword collectors?" Ao Shuangxue specially asked.

The word "holy" in Fuyu Holy Cult has been removed.

"Well, I'm thinking about it too, but I can't tell them about it yet. Now it's one less thing to worry about and I'll have peace for a while." Chi Zhongtian said.

"Brother Tian, ​​what do you think they want these swords for?" Ao Shuangxue said after taking a bite of snacks.

"On the way just now, I suddenly remembered something. When you had an accident, when Mu Lao... Mu Chengsong and I met Yu Chengmo for the first time, I really wanted to vaguely remember what he said

To put it another way, I think it’s ‘Ten swords return to the underworld’.”

"Ten swords return to the underworld? What does it mean?" Ao Shuangxue asked.

"Literally speaking, the Ten Swords should refer to the ten famous swords of ancient times, but I don't understand what Gui Ming means." Chi Zhongtian said while constantly scratching the table with his hands.

Come and cross.

"How about we ask Master later." Ao Shuangxue suggested.

"Ask my dad? How long will it take? I think we should find a way to find out about this ourselves."

"Masters, masters, we have not eaten for a few days. You are so pitiful. Let me, my granddaughter, play a song for you. Please give me a reward."

Chi Zhongtian was talking when he was suddenly interrupted by a sound.

The two turned around and saw a shambling old man carrying a broken bowl, followed by a little girl about seven or eight years old with a red face, wearing a rag red coat, which was covered with patches, and a pair of small

He was looking at everyone pitifully, holding the old man with one hand and holding an old huqin with the other.

It was okay for others to see this scene, but Ao Shuangxue hated it the most.

This is because Ao Shuangxue's experiences as a child are somewhat similar to this little girl.

"Brother Tian, ​​give me some money!" Ao Shuangxue suddenly said.

"I know you are the kindest, take it!" Of course Chi Zhongtian knew that Ao Shuangxue despised this the most, but just to prevent Ao Shuangxue from getting hurt, he didn't say anything else and just threw a piece of silver.

I didn’t even look at the number of tickets or tickets.

Ao Shuangxue casually picked up the banknote, then walked over and handed it to the little girl and said, "Little sister, take it and buy some food and clothing for your grandfather and you."

The little girl looked at Aoshuangxue with dazzling eyes, but did not take it in her hand.

The old man took the banknote tremblingly and was about to say thank you. Unexpectedly, when he glanced and saw the number of the banknote, he was so frightened that he let go of his hand. The broken bowl fell down and broke into pieces.

"This... I read it right, this... this is one thousand taels! One thousand taels!" the old man suddenly said excitedly.

"Wow!" This sound came, and all the guests around were surprised and extremely shocked.

It is not uncommon for people to be kind and generous, but to give out only one thousand taels, and to give it to a beggar whom they have never met before. This is simply a strange thing in the world.

After a while, everyone's attitude changed.

Some people gave thumbs up in praise, while others said they were deliberately showing off.

Only the old man didn't say a word. At this moment, he was staring blankly at the banknote in his hand, his hands shaking uncontrollably.

The little girl didn't know what happened, she just heard the words "one thousand taels".

In fact, Chi Zhongtian definitely didn't mean to show off. The reason why he gave out a thousand taels of silver was that he didn't have any loose money on him. Secondly, since he did good deeds, he did great deeds. Lao Tzu once said: "The best good is like water, the greatest love."

"Sorrow." If you want to do good, you must do your best to do good. This is Chi Zhongtian's deep-rooted concept.

However, Chi Zhongtian hasn't figured out one thing yet. It's okay to practice rare books. It's already a big deal to be able to give him a few taels of silver. You know, a thousand taels of silver can allow a family of three to live without worries for several years.

.

But, in other words, this is also because the money Chi Zhongtian has in his hands now, except for the few ingots of gold he just got, which he took from bad guys, the rest is given by others, and he doesn't feel how difficult it is to make money.

If you have money, spend it; if you don’t have money, don’t spend it. This is also very free and easy.

"Old man, don't go out to perform in the future. Buy some decent clothes for your granddaughter, and then send her to school." Ao Shuangxue saw that the old man was still reluctant to speak, so she persuaded her.

The old man's thoughts were brought back by Ao Shuangxue's words: "Miss, you are truly a living Bodhisattva, but... I can't take this banknote!"

After saying that, the old man stuffed the banknote back into Ao Shuangxue's hand.

This made Aoshuangxue a little confused. What does this mean?

After a pause, the old man said again: "Actually, even if I take this banknote, I can't exchange it for real money."

As soon as the old man said this, Ao Shuangxue and Chi Zhongcai came to understand.

What a careless thing. An old man took a little girl, dressed as a beggar, and then went to the bank to exchange a thousand taels of silver note. It would be weird if he could get it in exchange, and he might even be treated as a liar by the people in the bank.

Go to the government office.

Thinking of this, Chi Zhongtian took back the banknote, then took out two silver ingots from his arms, each about twenty taels, then handed it to the old man and said: "Old man, you can use this money first, it is enough."

You guys have been keeping this going for a while, I don’t have any money left on me, I’m really sorry.”

It's really weird to give away money and say sorry to others.

The old man stretched out his hands, picked up the money with a trembling hand, and then said: "Thank you both very much. In fact, even if I can change the banknote you just gave me, I don't dare to change it. There is too much money, so I really don't dare to ask for it.

"

Chi Zhongtian said: "Old man, don't be polite." After saying that, he greeted: "Second servant, please send this old man and the little girl away quickly."

The waiter had been at the side for a long time. When he saw Chi Zhongtian talking, he quickly stepped forward to please him and said, "Okay, don't worry."

The old man and the little girl kept thanking Chi Zhongtian and Ao Shuangxue and left.

"Brother Tian, ​​why did you let them go? I still want that little girl to taste some snacks." Aoshuangxue said.

"Don't try it, there will be a good show soon." Chi Zhongtian said pretending to be mysterious.

"A good show? Where can I find a good show?" Ao Shuangxue still didn't understand.

At this moment, several people who were sitting in the corner suddenly stood up and walked towards Chi Zhongtian and Ao Shuangxue.

"The show is coming, sit down first!" Chi Zhongtian pulled Ao Shuangxue and sat down.

In fact, just when Ao Shuangxue was talking to the old man, Chi Zhongtian noticed that several people sitting in the corner were staring at him with evil intentions.

A few people were dressed in a shabby manner, and they didn't look like good people at first glance. Chi Zhongtian thought about it for a moment and realized that it was probably the thousand taels that the old man shouted just now that made them focus on him.

One thousand taels at a time, he must be a fool, most likely a rich young man whose family is extremely rich.

Several people soon arrived at the table where Chi Zhongtian and Ao Shuangxue were sitting.

After the old man and the little girl finished their business, the guests all sat back and continued eating and drinking, so no one paid attention to what was going on here.
Chapter completed!
