Chapter 17 Seventeen: This is fierce and he is familiar with it
Since entering the body quenching realm, Li Sui'an's physique has become increasingly plump.
Security +1.
Recently I also like walking.
In this kind of weather, you won't feel too cold even if you wear single clothes.
But he is still used to wrapping himself up tightly.
"Shopkeeper Li got up so early, and the city was closed due to heavy snow today, so I thought there would be no business." Baozi Xishi warmly entertained her.
The New Year is approaching, and there is a festive atmosphere in the city.
The number of people hoarding New Year's goods has increased, which, in contrast to the homeless people, shows that "there is so much warmth and coldness in the world, some are happy and some are sad."
When I saw the beautiful woman smiling at me, I felt even better, "Madam Yu, give me fifteen... no, twenty steamed buns and three bowls of porridge first. Then count all the remaining steamed buns and steamed buns in your shop.
I’ll take them all away later.”
"Ah, do you want both?"
"All of them."
"Okay."
Baozi Xishi was overjoyed and said, "It's better to send it to Guishoutang. Let the head of my family send it to you."
Li Sui'an waved his hand, "Not this time, get ready first."
After devouring twenty large meat buns, I was 70% full, which was just right.
When Lao Yu saw this, he immediately put down what he was doing and followed Li Sui'an without saying a word, carrying the steaming buns.
Li Sui'an seemed to be walking aimlessly and came to Silk Street unknowingly. Suddenly, two green lights flew out of an alley and disappeared into his mind. He stopped and said, "Old Yu, that's the Xu family over there.
A house, right?”
Lao Yu, who followed silently, was stunned when he heard this, "It seems so."
Li Sui'an searched for it, and it turned out to be a nearly abandoned house. Half of the roof had collapsed, and there were burnt marks everywhere on the walls and eaves.
Not only were evil spirits causing trouble that night, there was also a fire?
He didn't see any fire that night.
Most of the seal on the door had been torn open and was fluttering in the wind.
The scourge of evil spirits has only been over for a long time, but the place has already become like this.
Li Sui'an tore off the seal with his hands and threw it away.
Little did he know, the moment he tore off the seal, a man who was meditating with his eyes closed in a house on the street suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed a knife and jumped on the roof. He turned into afterimages and rushed towards the Xu family compound.
.
The door was pushed open, and the sound suddenly woke up the people in the house.
The huge ancestral home of the Xu family was actually occupied by beggars.
This place has been ravaged by evil spirits, and other people did not dare to get into trouble, but instead took advantage of these beggars.
Some powerful beggar leaders occupied a small room alone. The largest main room was filled with a group of old, weak, sick and disabled beggars, and a bonfire was lit in the middle of the room.
There are also childcare and family beggars. The weather is too cold, so the younger ones huddle together in thatched huts to keep warm.
The gaps in the surrounding walls are also plugged with thatch to prevent the cold wind from entering. Although it cannot prevent the cold air, it is at least a shelter from the wind and rain.
Seeing someone breaking in, the beggars were very panicked and looked at the two people with uneasy eyes.
Li Sui'an glanced at him and saw that the youngest one was skinny and only as high as his thigh.
"Are you hungry? Does anyone want some steamed buns?"
He asked, but no one answered.
He nodded towards Lao Yu and motioned for him to open it.
Lao Yu neatly unwrapped the package, and the steaming big white buns came into view. There was a commotion in the room, but he hesitated and did not dare to step forward.
"If you want something to eat, just order it boldly and come and talk to me."
Finally, a little man just above his knees couldn't bear the hunger and bravely stepped forward.
Li Sui'an saw a pair of bright eyes full of hope, squatted down and said kindly: "Little guy, how many can you eat?"
"A fawn can eat three...five, no, ten."
She gestured for a slap, and if it wasn't enough, she added another slap.
Li Sui'an smiled, she was still a little girl.
He grabbed two and stuffed them into her hands.
With a dirty little face and sparkling eyes, she stared at the bun in her hand that was bigger than her palm, and then looked at Li Sui'an, seeming to confirm that this was not a dream. Until the temperature in her palm kept whetting her appetite, she couldn't help it.
, immediately stuffed the bun into his mouth quickly and devoured it.
"Eat slowly, there is still plenty."
Now the whole shabby house was in commotion, and everyone came in swarm.
"Everyone lines up, no grabbing is allowed. Anyone who doesn't line up will not get the buns. If there are any left after eating, line up one by one to get them." Li Sui'an scolded loudly.
The beggar leaders in other houses came over quickly after getting the news.
After a while, all the buns were distributed. The little man who came up first ate quickly. After finishing, he came over again and ate four in total. His belly was full and he kept burping.
.
"Thank you, benefactor."
She also knew how to be grateful. As soon as her legs bent, she was about to kneel down and kowtow to Li Sui'an, but Li Sui'an lifted her up.
The small figure was lifted up in the air, like a package.
Her little legs kicked restlessly in the air.
Li Sui'an put her on the ground
"Don't kneel down. I'm a kind-hearted person but not much. It's almost the Chinese New Year and I'm just giving you some food on a whim. It's just a few buns, not worth kneeling down."
"A meal is worth kneeling down for." Xiao Lu shouted in a clear voice.
"Well, you are quite the talker."
His face was stern: "If I say it's not worth it, it's not worth it."
The deer was no longer afraid of him, blinked and snickered at him.
Li Sui'an also laughed, "Don't trust strangers easily. Even if I sell you, you are still counting the money. This is the way the world is. People who live a good life are more likely to become good people. But in a world where everyone is in danger of themselves
, there are not many good people, and you have to control your own destiny after all.”
"Let me ask you, after you have had a good meal, what will you do next? Are you going to continue begging along the streets? It's snowing so heavily that you will freeze to death if you go out."
There were more bustling sounds in the crowd.
Most of it is helpless.
Li Sui'an also sighed, "Does anyone know about Ruyifang on Liufeng Street next door?"
"I know!"
An older boy stood up.
"I am the shopkeeper of Ruyifang. The Chinese New Year is coming soon and some of the waiters in the restaurant have gone home for the holidays. There is still a shortage of a few temporary waiters who can wash dishes and pick vegetables. The wages are not much, but they can keep you fed, clothed and safe.
It will be a shelter from the wind and rain. It will be disbanded in the spring of next year. If you do well, you can be kept. You can also choose to leave on your own. Is anyone willing to go?"
"Me, little deer."
The little man raised his hands high and jumped up and down.
Li Sui'an smiled and said, "Okay, I have you."
"And me, my name is Xu Huairong." The young man shouted.
"I, I, sir, please take me with you. I work very hard and can do any job!"
The other beggars did not hesitate and swarmed over.
People starve to death every day. At this time, if someone can give them a bite to eat, they will kill people and set fire to them.
There were a lot of people, so Li Sui'an quickly shouted again, "Only those under the age of 18 are accepted. Those who are older should fend for themselves. Forgive me, my business is a small one and I really can't take care of everyone."
"My benefactor, I don't have to go. Please take my wife with you. My child is too young and hasn't eaten for two days. He can't live without his mother." A middle-aged man held a one-year-old child in his arms.
The child kept kowtowing, and a middle-aged woman with dry hair next to him kowtowed too.
"Get up and speak. Let me ask you, is this your child?"
"It's mine, my biological flesh and blood."
"How old are you this year?"
"Replying to my benefactor, I am twenty-three years old and my wife is nineteen years old."
Twenty-three…
They looked like they were in their forties or fifty, and he almost suspected that these two people were human traffickers.
"Count you as a family."
"Thank you so much, my benefactor. Thank you so much, my benefactor." As soon as his knees became weak, he had to kneel down again.
"Don't kneel down. If you kneel down again, don't come."
Li Sui'an counted the heads one by one and distributed the buns.
Those who have been hungry are reluctant to eat at all. They hide and pinch it to save it, for fear that they will not finish the meal after eating it.
Fortunately, I brought a lot with me today.
"Shopkeeper Li, there are two corpses."
Lao Yu suddenly leaned into his ear and shouted a reminder, looking at the two figures who had not moved in the straw.
Li Sui'an walked over and opened up the thatch pile, revealing the bodies of two young men who were already livid.
"It's a little monkey, a little shell."
The crowd screamed in surprise, and many children who knew the corpse felt sad, but that was all.
The situation is precarious, and no one can care about anyone.
"Lao Yu, please notify the body collector later. It will easily change if left for a long time."
"Okay." Lao Yu responded.
Early in the morning, Li Sui'an went out for a trip, and on his way back, he met a large group of ragged beggars.
After returning home, it's time for Uncle Fu to scold him again.
With this thought in mind, I was stopped as soon as I stepped out of the gate.
Wearing black flying fish brocade clothes, holding a night sword in one hand, and what was suddenly holding a seal in the other hand.
"Stop, take out the tooth tag and take a look." The voice was clear and clear, and she was still a female night watchman. She wore a hat on her head, covering most of her face, only revealing a distinctive beautiful chin.
But this fierce... Baba's momentum made Li Sui'an feel familiar.
If you look closely, you will see that this fierce person... he knows.
It's the lantern bearer.
Lao Yu was a little uneasy, but Li Sui'an calmly handed over his hand and said: "Sir, we are residents nearby. We went out to have breakfast this morning and took a walk casually. We forgot to bring our dental tags. If you want to check, we can go back and get them immediately."
"Why are you here? Did you break this seal?"
"My lord, the Xu family and my family have a long history. I came here today just to remember my friends. Today is the first time since the accident. There are many people living inside. I don't know who broke the seal. Such a strong wind
, maybe it was blown away by the wind."
The night watchman looked at him seriously and told lies, and then looked at the large group of young beggars following him.
After a long silence, he said: "I'll teach you to be a good boy. Next time, don't take off the seal of the Lamp Holder. Even if it's about to fall off, don't take it off. Do you understand?"
"Yes, thank you for your teaching. I will keep it in mind, sir."
"Let's go."
She got out of the way.
Li Sui'an immediately led a large group of people and left quickly.
After they had gone far, the woman reattached the seal, only half of it, to make it easier to open and close the door.
Finally, he took out a large seal and stamped it heavily on the seal. A blue light flashed and then faded out of sight.
Looking in the direction Li Sui'an left, he chuckled and said, "Don't kneel."
"People who live a good life are more likely to become good people..."
She laughed out loud, showing a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, and disappeared in a flash.
