Chapter 7 The third master is finally here
"Hey, kid, come here!" Yu Zhi pointed at the few beggars playing at the entrance of the alley.
The few beggars who were having fun looked at each other, hesitant to come over.
In the past, these nobles hated them the most, and wished they could drive them away.
What is this beautiful woman up to?
Don’t look at these beggars who are young, but they have experienced the cold and warm of the world, and their immature eyes are full of vigilance.
"Come here!" Yu Zhi shouted again.
"What do you want to do?" The oldest of the beggars came over and said that he was the oldest, and he was only eight or nine years old. He stopped three steps away from Yu Zhi, with his whole body on guard.
Yu Zhi acted as if he hadn’t seen it, throwing a pebble in his hand, “Have you seen this kind of stone before?”
The beggar pursed his lips and nodded, "I've seen it. It's by the river outside the city."
Yu Zhi continued to throw pebbles, "I need this kind of stone. How much do I need? About two big baskets." She gestured to the size of the basket, "You can pick up these kinds of stones, and come to me to exchange steamed buns. It can also be exchanged for copper plates."
The beggar didn't say anything, and Yu Zhi didn't care, and continued: "I live in this alley, the second-to-last house, you know?"
"I know, the one that sells sauce-flavored pancakes." The one who spoke was a black and thin little beggar with very big eyes. When he spoke, his mouth squirmed, and something shiny seemed to flow out from the corner of his mouth.
"Can I change it to sauce pancakes?" Just smelling the smell every day makes him unable to sleep, if he can have a bite, it must be delicious.
Yu Zhi was a little surprised. Her family's sauce pancakes are already so famous? She glanced at him, "Yes, as long as you pick up stones, you can exchange them for anything."
After speaking, she lifted her foot and walked inside.
Behind her, "Brother Mumu, are we really going to pick up rocks? Isn't she playing tricks on us?" Such a thing is not unheard of.
"Of course I have to pick it up, and I can exchange it for sauce pancakes."
"You know how to eat, and you are not afraid of being poisoned to death."
—
The little beggars thought they had lowered their voices, but they didn't know that they all fell into Yu Zhi's ears. She wants to build a cobblestone path in the yard, and she has to buy stones anyway, who is she looking for?
As for other things, she has been a human for three lifetimes, so how can she have so much sympathy? It's just seeing these little beggars thinking of the cultivation world, if she wasn't lucky enough to be picked up by the elders and brought back to Qingyun Sect, she might have become a little beggar too.
Everyone has their own destiny, Yu Zhi just sighed, if she was asked to adopt these beggars, it would be impossible. She hasn't had a good life yet, the Buddha's light is shining all over, that's the Buddha, not her salty fish.
Early the next morning, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard.
Yu Zhi opened the door, and outside stood those little beggars I saw yesterday, barefoot, tattered clothes with cobblestones around them.
"The stone you want." The biggest little beggar said.
Yu Zhi glanced at him, raised his eyebrows, "Come in."
The little beggars hesitated for a moment, but followed her into the yard. He didn't dare to look around, and even walked lightly, for fear of stepping on the ground.
"Put it in the basket." Yu Zhi casually pointed at the big basket and entered the kitchen by himself.
When she came out, she saw a few people standing by the basket and looking at this side eagerly. Seeing the food in her hand, her eyes lit up, and she even heard the sound of swallowing saliva.
"Here, steamed buns, sauce-flavored pancakes." Yu Zhi handed them over.
Yu Zhi was a little surprised, but she didn't refuse, she took out five copper coins and put them in his hand, "Yes."
He didn't want it, "You gave too much." Whether it was copper coins or food, they gave too much.
Although the woman in front of me has a beautiful face, who knows what is wrapped in skin and bones? Bloody experience told him that there are not so many kind hearts in this world.
"Then you guys will continue to help me pick up stones and fill up two large baskets." After a pause, he glanced at the tattered clothes on their bodies, and Yu Zhi said again: "I can lend you the baskets."
I don’t even have the tools to pack things, so I’ll bring them back in one trip, when will I be able to pick up enough?
There was obviously no disgust in the woman's eyes, but his face flushed red, and he felt embarrassed. He reached out his hand to pull the tattered jacket that was half shortened, but tried his best to hold it back.
"Thank you, thank you." The beggar pulled the big basket and left, and turned his head when he reached the door, "I'll pick up enough stones for you for two baskets."
Leave this sentence behind, and run away as if fleeing.
Yu Zhi was startled, then smiled, but didn't take it seriously.
Yu Zhi used cobblestones to pave two paths in the small courtyard, and the remaining cobblestones paved a Eight Diagrams picture in the middle. Such a whole is quite unique, a bit like Qingyunzong.
Alas, Yu Zhi misses Qingyun Sect, especially the meat of spirit beasts.
Alas, I can’t even eat it now.
It's so sad, she will be sad for a while.
"Qingfeng, here?" The person who spoke was a young nobleman, dressed in dark bamboo green wide sleeves and straight, making his figure even more upright. Zhuoran's demeanor is incompatible with this back alley.
"Third Master, I'm afraid you forgot, Miss Yu lives nearby." Qingfeng reminded in a low voice.
Although the third master of his family has a photographic memory, he never cares about insignificant people and things.
Obviously, that Miss Yu is an insignificant person. I'm afraid that the third master even forgot who Miss Yu is?
Just as Qingfeng was about to continue reminding, the third master hummed.
This reminds me? But why is the third master still frowning?
Did you remember this, or did you not remember it?
Just when Qingfeng was struggling, the third master had already stepped forward, Qingfeng quickly put aside distracting thoughts and followed with strides.
If it wasn't for Qingfeng's reminder, Wen Jiuxiao really couldn't remember the girl he brought back from the south two months ago.
He remembered that a county magistrate surnamed Zhang gave it to him. Things like this have happened to him since he entered the officialdom.
He is not a lustful person, nor does he have the intention of pity. He doesn't even remember what the girl looks like. The reason why he made an exception to accept it is because the girl has a pair of round eyes, which are wet and pleading.
It resembles a dog he had when he was a child.
It is undeniable that at that moment he was moved with compassion.
It's just a girl, so she can be placed anywhere.
If he hadn’t chased a suspect here today, seeing that this place looks a little familiar, he would have really forgotten about it.
Since we’re all here, let’s go and have a look, at least he brought them back.
