Thou shalt not reveal thy wealth
An hour later, Chi Zhongtian and Ao Shuangxue had returned to Cangzhou City.
The two casually found a teahouse and ordered a pot of tea and a four-color platter.
"Brother Tian, have you found it, that person from the Fuyu Sect seems to have a soft spot for swords, he used to ask for your Chengying, and now he wants to ask Tian, are they famous sword collectors?"
"Well, I'm thinking about it too, but I can't tell them about it for the time being, and now it's peaceful to have one less thing to do. Chi Zhongtian said.
"Brother Tian, what do you say they want these swords for?" said Aoshuangxue after taking a bite of the snack.
"On the road just now, I suddenly remembered one thing, that time when you had an accident, when I met Yu Chengmo for the first time with Mu Lao Mu Chengsong, I really wanted to vaguely remember what he said, I really wanted to be 'Ten Swords Return to the Dead'. ”
"What do you mean?" asked Aurshuangxue.
"If you take it literally, the ten swords should refer to the ten famous swords of the ancients, but I don't understand what it means to return to the underworld. Chi Zhongtian said as he kept paddling his hand around the table.
"Why don't we ask Master later. Auror Snow suggested.
"How long has it been since then, I think we'd better find a way to find out about it ourselves. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, my lords, we haven't eaten for a few days, you are pitiful, let my granddaughter play a song for you, and you will watch and give a few rewards. ”
As he spoke, he was suddenly interrupted by a voice.
The two turned their heads to look, and saw a hobbling old man holding 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 eyes were looking at everyone pitifully, dragging the old man with one hand and holding an old huqin in the other.
It's good for others to see this scene, but Aoshuangxue can't see this the most.
This is due to what happened to Ao Shuangxue when she was a child, which is somewhat similar to this little girl.
"Brother Tian, give me some money!" Aoshuangxue said suddenly.
"I know that you are the kindest, take it!" Of course, Chi Zhongtian knew that Aoshuangxue couldn't look down on this the most, just to avoid Aoshuangxue's injury to touch the scene, so he didn't say anything else, and threw a silver ticket casually, and didn't look at the number.
Aoshuangxue picked up the silver ticket casually, then walked over and handed it to the little girl and said, "Little sister, take it, buy some food and clothing for your grandfather and you." ”
The little girl's eyes clicked and looked at Aoshuangxue, but she didn't take it in her hand.
The old man took the silver ticket tremblingly, and was about to thank him, but when he glanced at his eyes, he saw the number of silver tickets, and he was so frightened that he let go of his hand, and the broken bowl fell down with his hand, and it was broken in response.
"I'm not mistaken, this is a thousand taels! a thousand taels!" the old man said suddenly excitedly.
"Wow!" came out, and all the guests around were surprised, and extremely shocked.
It is not uncommon to be kind and charitable, but it is a thousand taels, and it is given to a beggar who has never known all his life, which is simply a miracle in the world.
After a few moments, the attitude of everyone in the room changed.
Some people give a thumbs up and praise, while others say they are deliberately showing off.
Only the old man didn't say a word, and at this moment he was looking at the silver ticket in his hand in a daze, and his hand couldn't stop trembling.
And the little girl didn't know what was happening, but she heard a sentence of 'one thousand taels'.
In fact, Chi Zhongtian definitely did not deliberately show off, the reason why he gave a thousand taels of silver tickets, firstly, was that there was no scattered silver on his body, and secondly, since he did good, he did great good, Lao Tzu once said: "Good is like water, and the sorrow of great love." "To do good, you have to do great good, this is a deep-rooted concept of Chi Zhongtian.
However, Chi Zhongtian hasn't figured out one thing yet, it doesn't hurt to implement the good book, and it is already great to be able to give a few taels of silver, you know, a thousand taels of silver can make a family of three eat carefree for several years.
However, in other words, this is also because the money in Chi Zhongtian's hand now is due to the fact that he has just gotten a few ingots of gold that he took from the bad guys, and the rest is given by others, and he doesn't feel how difficult it is to make money.
If you have money, you will spend it, and if you don't have money, you will not spend it, which is also very free.
"Uncle, don't come out to perform in the future, buy a few decent clothes for your granddaughter, and send her to the school. Seeing that the old man was slow to speak, Aoshuangxue persuaded him.
The old man's thoughts were pulled back by Ao Shuangxue's sentence: "This young lady, you are really a living bodhisattva, but I can't ask for this silver ticket!"
After speaking, the old man stuffed the silver ticket back into Ao Shuangxue's hand.
This makes Aoshuangxue a little confused, what does this mean?
After a pause, the old man said again: "Actually, even if I take this silver ticket, I can't exchange it for real money." ”
As soon as the old man finished saying this, Aoshuangxue and Chi Zhongtian understood.
It's really careless, an old man takes a little girl, dressed as a beggar, and then takes a silver ticket of 1,000 taels to the money bank to exchange, it is strange to be able to exchange it, maybe he will have to be sent to the government by the people of the money village as a liar.
Thinking of this, Chi Zhongtian took back the silver ticket, and then took out two silver ingots from his arms, each about twenty taels, and then handed it to the old man and said, "Uncle, you can use this money first, it is enough for you to maintain it for a while, I don't have any broken silver on me, I'm really embarrassed." ”
It's really strange to give people money and say sorry to others.
The old man stretched out his hands, trembling as a result of the silver, and then said: "Thank you two, in fact, the silver ticket you gave just now can be exchanged, I don't dare to change it, there is too much money, I really dare not ask for it." ”
Chi Zhongtian said: "Don't be polite, old man. After speaking, he beckoned again: "Little Er, send this old man and the little girl away." ”
The shopkeeper was already on the side, and when he saw Chi Zhongtian talking, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Okay, don't worry." ”
The old man and the little girl thanked Chi Zhongtian and Aoshuangxue incessantly, and then left.
"Brother Tian, why did you let them go, I still want that little girl to taste a snack. Aoshuangxue said.
"Don't taste it, it's going to be good soon. Chi Zhongtian said mysteriously.
"Good show, where is the good show?" Ao Shuangxue still didn't understand.
At this moment, a few people who were originally 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 just now, Chi Zhongtian found that several people sitting in the corner were staring at him with malicious intentions.
A few people dressed up in a flowing manner, and they didn't look like good people at first glance, Chi Zhongtian pondered a little, and knew that it was estimated that the old man shouted a thousand taels just now made them focus on him.
As soon as he made a move, he was a thousand taels, he must be a stupid hat, most likely a rich young master in the family.
A few people soon came to the table of Chi Zhongtian and Ao Shuangxue.
After the old man and the little girl were done, the guests all sat down again and continued to eat and drink, so no one paid attention to what was going on here.
"This son, a few of us were robbed of the money just now, can the son lend us a few loose money, so that we can solve our urgent needs." One of them said as he put his head down while holding his hand on the table.
