The shopkeeper was in an extremely bad mood tonight. First of all, it was because of the fire, and he was worried about damage to property and nervousness that could lead to loss of life.
It turned out that someone deliberately set the fire, but the fire brigade was alerted.
When you meet someone from the government, you can only prepare money to spend it. The fire brigade that killed a thousand people even threatened you with Black Wind Village. After all, isn't it just asking for money?
The government these days has become so shameless and shameless, and they are just trying to make money in different ways.
Seeing that money will be spent to make up for the damage caused by the fire, the inn will have to be closed for a few days, and there will be another few days of losses. There is also a huge amount of money to compensate the tenants tonight and let them find a place to live elsewhere.
The shopkeeper was really in an extremely bad mood.
Now I saw a few figures dodging over there, and I became very angry.
The person on the other end listened and pushed me and I pushed you, and then they pushed out.
It was the black cow two or three houses away. He was usually reckless and bold, but today he was the first one to rush in.
When the shopkeeper saw it was him, he put his hands behind his back and frowned: "Didn't Uncle Cai just tell everyone to go home quickly? What are you doing here? Do you want to get sued?"
Upon hearing this, Hei Niu quickly waved his hands and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's just..."
He turned around and glanced at the shadows of the people at the door, and could only lick his face again and bowed: "I know the shopkeeper is upset at the moment, but at least no one was killed tonight, so it can be considered unfortunate.
Very lucky."
Although what he said was reasonable, it did not relieve the shopkeeper's inner annoyance. It only made his face look a little better. He still frowned and said, "What else is going on?"
"Um... Originally, we shouldn't talk like this between neighbors, but now everyone's life is difficult, and the shopkeeper also knows it. When we brothers rushed in, the shopkeeper said that it would be profitable.
Come on, after all, we brothers took a big risk..."
"What big risk are you taking?!" The shopkeeper immediately straightened his face. The fire was deliberately set by someone else. It was not burning at all. Why should you take such a big risk? Bai said bravely.
Isn’t that enough? Now..."
"Yes, yes!" Hei Niu interrupted awkwardly, still with a smile on his face, "What the shopkeeper said is that logically speaking, we shouldn't ask for this money.
But today, you, the shopkeeper, have said such things in front of everyone. It is hard not to honor them. They say that a gentleman's promise is worth more than a thousand pieces of gold.
Everyone recognizes your character and broadmindedness. Don’t you just want to come here whenever something happens? Apart from other things, on weekdays, when you see outsiders coming to the city, if you ask about an inn, we will naturally go there.
Does it mean here?
Although this matter didn't make a big fuss today, everyone still helped me after all. I have to look at the way you do things for others, don't you?"
The shopkeeper was about to open his mouth to curse, but found that he could not open his mouth. Although this black cow spoke rough, his rationale was not rough.
The people who came here today are all neighbors here, and almost all of them are here. If I offend everyone this time, it will be really difficult to do business in this area in the future.
He could only suppress the anger in his heart, waved his hand with a very ugly face, and asked the people under his hands to give them a few pieces of silver.
"Thank you very much, shopkeeper. You are indeed a big business person. No one else can match your magnanimity and magnanimity."
Hei Niu didn't forget to say a few nice words, and then retreated.
The few people outside looked excited when they saw him coming back. Taking advantage of the darkness, they quickly hid under the wall at the back to share the money.
There are five broken pieces of silver in total, and there are exactly five people. Black Bull will naturally take the largest piece, and then the others will choose.
Three of them are almost the same, but one seems to be particularly small.
While everyone was hesitating, they saw one of them picking up the smallest one. Everyone couldn't help but look over, but it was a stranger with a face.
The top was smoky and smoky, with only a pair of eyes rolling around.
"This little brother is..."
Heiniu hesitated for a moment and looked at it for a while, but still didn't recognize it.
People on the side also looked at her, "How come I haven't seen you before! Where are you from?"
"I just came here a few days ago. I originally came to seek refuge with relatives. Who knew that my relatives got sick and died at the end of the year. I have been wandering around the city for the past few days and don't know where to go...z.br
I had been sleeping outside, and I just saw the fire here, and heard the shopkeeper say that those who come in will be given money, so I rushed in. I also had an uncle with me, who just got separated, but I was caught again.
If you have this money, you will wait until now."
Hearing what he said, several people also sighed, "Well, life is getting more and more sad now. Several people died at the end of last year. That may be the way your relatives lived. They are all poor people. Don't do it either.
There is a delay, there is a curfew here at night, you should go back to your uncle quickly, take this little money, buy some food tomorrow, and then see if you can find any work."
As he spoke, he sighed again and said, "But it's hard to find a job now. People from the countryside come in every day looking for temporary jobs. I'm afraid it won't be your turn."
The young man said: "I was scared to death by what the shopkeeper said, saying there was some kind of Black Wind Village. Now I don't dare to leave. I wonder if any of you have a yard. Can you let me stay under the roof for one night?"
For the past few days, my uncle and I have been going to beg for work during the day, and at night at the temple fair on the east side of the city. When he saw that I didn't go back, he knew that I was resting elsewhere.
I'm still young, and if the government officials arrest me as someone from the Black Wind Village, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out."
Hearing what he said, one of them said: "Then you go to my house! If you don't mind, you can spend the night in my woodshed. My wife loves to be clean. Although it is a woodshed, it can still be occupied by people."
"Thank you so much, big brother."
With that settled, the few people hurriedly separated and went home in the dark. They were all from the neighborhood and couldn't walk more than two steps to the man's house.
Apparently someone was waiting for him at home. When he heard the knock on the door, he opened the door. He was obviously very surprised to see someone following him, but he still let them in first.
"This is..." The woman was dressed very simply, but she had delicate features and gentle eyes.
"A little brother who is in trouble is staying in our woodshed for one night and will leave tomorrow morning."
