Chapter 73 Beggar?
Chapter 73 Beggar?
"Da da da~"
The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, and the pedestrians on the roadside who were frightened out of their wits by the crazy horse gradually came to their senses and continued to go about their own business as if nothing had happened.
The beggar-like black figure also put down the little girl in his arms, ignored the pointing and talking of others, and walked back to his home on the street to continue sleeping.
The beautiful woman in luxurious palace dress watched her daughter being rescued by a capable man, and she put her heart, which was about to jump out of her throat, back into her stomach.
Seeing the beggar was about to leave, he hurriedly took two steps forward and grabbed the beggar.
"Thank you for saving my life, sir! Thank you for saving my life, sir!
My little girl was playing around and walked into the middle of the road. If the teacher hadn't rescued her, she would have been hit to death by the crazy horse.
I will never forget your kindness, sir. If you have any requests, I will do my best."
The beautiful woman in palace dress looked at the long-haired man in front of her who was wearing a patchwork robe and tattered cloth shoes. She did not mind his slovenliness and pulled her daughter forward to thank him.
"I'm just a beggar. If you're willing, give me some money. If you don't have money, forget it. Just don't disturb my sleep."
After saying that, he broke free from his arm, and without caring about the mother and daughter, he lay down along the wall in his den beside the street and continued to dream his sweet dreams.
Seeing that the beggar-looking man had no intention of paying any attention to her, the beautiful woman in palace dress had no choice but to put all the money she had on her into the broken bowl in front of the man.
Seeing that the man was still unconscious, the beautiful woman in palace dress knew that waiting here was not a solution, so she planned to take her daughter home to discuss things with the head of the family.
At the tea stall, as the only warrior on the street who could see the beggar's actions clearly, Wang Zhongjun looked a little solemn.
"Brother, that beggar is so fast!"
I am also an elite soldier who has been through many battles. Although I cannot see the beggar's movements clearly, I can still sense the profound skills of this man.
"Damn it, this Kowloon is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Even a beggar on the street is a rare master.
Xiaosan, buy more intelligence at night, and don't miss any folk experts!"
Wang Zhongjun's heart became heavier as he planned to find Shen Ye to buy information. After instructing his younger brother, he turned around and stared at the beggar while drinking tea.
He stared at the beggar for a long time, perhaps because he got tired of staring at him.
The beggar took advantage of the opportunity to turn over and threw a small stone towards the tea stall.
"Gala"
The tea bowl in Wang Zhongjun's hand shattered, and the scalding hot tea spilled all over his crotch.
When the younger brother saw his elder brother making a fool of himself, he wanted to get up and cause trouble for the beggar.
Before I could stand up, Wang Zhongjun grabbed me tightly.
"Don't act rashly, this person is not simple."
"Brother, we won't cause trouble, but we still have to ask him what he means."
"Forget it, it's not a good time to do it today.
That’s all for today, check out and let’s go!”
As if he heard the sound of the two people leaving, the beggar scratched his body and seemed to sleep even more soundly.
Jin Liyuan, Back Hall
After listening to the palace lady's account of the danger she encountered today, Li Yutang also felt a little scared.
"Xing'er is lucky to have the help of Brother Liu. Otherwise, I would have lost a lot of money today."
"Master, do you know that beggar?"
Li Yutang also had a look of reminiscence on his face, and he recounted a past event.
“That was more than a decade ago. At that time, Brother Liu had a prominent family background and was also a well-known figure in China.
No matter how you look at it, he should be an ambitious young man with a bright future, but it's a pity that he fell in love with a woman he shouldn't have fallen in love with."
"Could it be someone from the palace?"
The beautiful lady in palace dress made a bold guess, but Li Yutang just shook his head.
“She’s his father’s woman, his stepmother.
It was really fate that even when Mr. Liu died of a sudden illness later, her stepmother did not fulfill his wish.
That woman is also a character. She would rather die for love than be caught between the father and son. She is very strong-willed. My brother Liu is in a difficult situation. His family has undergone a series of great changes. After the emotional injury, he also became addicted to smoking.
Not only was he surrounded by opium all day long, but his family also began to decline, and within a few years he was left with nothing.
See my Jinliyuan? This was his family’s business in the early years.
I later acquired it, and that’s when we met.”
"This Mr. Liu is really a miserable man. But if he is really a heavy smoker who has smoked for more than ten years, how did he save Xing'er from the iron hoof of the crazy horse today?"
Seeing that the beautiful woman in palace dress was still confused, Li Yutang sighed heavily.
"Because he was the last martial arts champion in Shenzhou, the best in Shenzhou back then. You must understand that, right?"
"The last martial arts champion? The best in China? Dad, who are you talking about?"
However, when Li Chongguang and Qin Huai pushed the door open, they happened to hear the conversation between the two and asked curiously.
"These are all old things, I won't talk about them anymore.
On the contrary, you went to discuss the secret medicine share today. How was it? Did you gain anything?"
Seeing that Li Yutang was unwilling to tell his son these old stories, the beautiful woman in palace dress said no more. She smiled at Qin Huai and the other man and then left.
"We have basically discussed everything, but there are still some details that need to be finalized with Brother Qin."
Li Chongguang did not expect that the tall and strong Qin Huai was actually such a good hand at doing business. He quickly formulated the general direction based on Jinliyuan's needs and the share of secret medicine.
The two have been together these past two days and seem like good friends.
"Okay, okay, I'm old now, and in the future, these businesses will still depend on you young people."
Li Yutang was also very pleased. The more he looked at Qin Huai and the other man, the more comfortable he felt.
"Okay, let's not talk about business tonight. I'll take you out for dinner."
Qin Huai's heart sank when he saw Li Yutang look at him deeply for the last time.
Oh no, this dinner tonight is probably meant for me.
What does this Mr. Li mean? Does he want to introduce a girl to me?
Qin Huai, feeling very nervous, followed the rickshaw of Li and his son along the winding road and finally arrived at the door of a small restaurant.
The restaurant is not big, but the frontage is quite large.
Qin Huai looked at the big word "山" and felt a little curious. Was he coming to this small restaurant just to have a meal tonight?
Li Yutang got out of the car, holding Li Chongguang's hand and greeted Qin Huai.
"I know you're from the north, and I'm worried that you might not be used to southern food these days. So, I'll bring you to taste our authentic northeastern cuisine tonight."
"Uncle Li, you've spent a lot of money. If you want to eat it, I can make it for you."
Seeing that Qin Huai was still being polite, Li Yutang smiled, and his words seemed to have a deep meaning.
"This dinner tonight cannot be missed, if for nothing else, just for the chef's cooking skills.
You can't taste the cooking skills of this chef anywhere else.
Xiao Qin, you really need to taste it carefully this time!"
After saying that, regardless of Qin Huai who was still deep in thought outside the door, he took Li Chongguang's hand and walked in through the door curtain.
Qin Huai looked up at the huge mountain sign again, but still didn't understand what Li Yutang meant.
"Who cares? No matter how expensive it is, it's not my money."
Without any hesitation, he walked straight into the door.
Outside the door, the alley was empty, with only a giant sign with the word "山" fluttering in the wind.
