Chapter 128 Strange Beggar
In the end, Old Mrs. Qin did not return to Changhe Village because she was stimulated by Qin Tiaotiao.
Without Qin Ruo saying anything, she put the packed clothes back to their original place by herself.
Because Qin Tiaotiao stood with his hands on his hips, like a little adult, and described a picture of the future to Old Lady Qin.
If you don’t want to learn, then don’t learn. Anyway, Dalang, Ajie and Erlang will all have promising futures, so they will move to the capital together.
In the future, I will inevitably have to deal with the wives and daughters of high-ranking officials and nobles. It would not be me who would be embarrassed if I was told that I was illiterate.
Old Mrs. Qin was the most proud person. After being provoked by Qin Tiaotiao, she suddenly felt like she was given a shot of chicken blood and no longer made excuses to go home.
Every day when Qin Zimu taught her how to read, she sat quietly and studied more seriously than anyone else.
When I meet someone I don’t know or have forgotten, I am willing to humble myself and ask the people around me for advice.
Qin Ruo was busy, so she didn't dare to disturb her. When she had time, she asked Xun Dong to teach her how to write.
Xundong's handwriting is quite good. Old Mrs. Qin found the right person. After a few days, he has really learned it quite well.
The day before the restaurant opened, there was new progress in the matter that Qin Ruo asked Hu Zi to find someone.
Early that morning, Qin Ruo took Banxia and Qin Tiaotiao out of the city.
The house that Qingsheng rented was an independent private residence on the outskirts of Taihe County.
This location is secluded and will not be easily disturbed.
It is not far from Taihe County and can be reached in a cup of tea.
Hu Zi had been waiting at the city gate early, and when he saw Qin Ruo and his group, he immediately came over to greet them.
"Master, we have found the people. There are 20 people in total. They are all found according to your requirements. They are willing to follow us. I will take you over to take a look."
"…It was just a small accident. A beggar followed us and we couldn't get rid of him…"
When he said this, Hu Zi scratched his head, with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Where is he now?" Qin Ruo asked.
"He was sleeping outside our house and was drunk all day."
The man didn't enter his house, he was just outside the house, so it was really difficult to drive him away.
The two chatted and soon arrived at the rented house.
Qin Ruo saw from a distance a beggar with ragged clothes, dishevelled hair, untidy beard and unclear face leaning against the door of the house, holding a sword and sleeping soundly.
"Hu Zi, go! Wake him up and ask him what's going on." Qin Ruo ordered Hu Zi to go forward and wake up the man.
"Hey, uncle, wake up, wake up..." Hu Zishang patted his shoulder, trying to wake him up.
The master has arrived, but this person has been sleeping at the door. What is going on?
It was unclear whether the beggar was really drunk or pretending to be drunk. He didn't even lift his eyelids, turned over and continued to sleep soundly.
"Master, this man must be pretending to sleep. He did it on purpose..."
Banxia was an impatient person. She jumped off the carriage and ran to the beggar like a gust of wind.
"Uncle, wake up. How can you sleep at someone else's door? Go to sleep somewhere else."
Banxia walked up to the beggar and shouted loudly.
The beggar reached out his hand to clean his ears, then fell into a deep sleep again. What was even worse was that he even made a snoring sound.
Banxia got angry now. This guy was obviously pretending. How could he not hear her when she spoke so loudly?
She simply stretched out her toes, trying to kick the beggar who was pretending to be asleep to wake him up.
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but the man rolled over again and happened to avoid Banxia's kick.
Banxia was not convinced and reached out to grab the sword in the beggar's arms.
The man suddenly stood up from the ground as if he had had a terrible dream, and Banxia's hand grabbed nothing.
"You're still a martial artist?"
Banxia immediately stopped being polite and used all her skills to attack the beggar.
The man seemed to be slow in his movements and staggering in his steps. After more than ten rounds, Banxia didn't even touch a corner of the man.
Qin Ruo, who was standing nearby, knew clearly that this man's martial arts skills were far superior to Banxia's, and Banxia was no match for him at all.
"Okay, Banxia, come back." Qin Ruo had no expression on her face and called out to Banxia.
Banxia obediently stopped her moves and retreated back to Qin Ruo.
"Sister, how about... I fight him a few moves." Qin Tiaotiao said this a little hesitantly, with a look full of disgust.
It wasn't that he was afraid of not being able to beat the man, it was mainly because the man in front of him was too dirty.
I don’t know how long it has been since I last took a shower. I can smell the sour smell from far away. Qin Tiaotiao has to hold his breath when he speaks.
"Why are you joining in the fun? Why don't you go?" Qin Ruo glared at Qin Tiao unhappily.
"I was just saying it, sister, do you take it seriously?" Qin Tiaotiao pinched her nose and responded with a buzzing voice.
"Master, this man followed us back from the ruined temple. I don't know who he is. He doesn't look like a bad guy. If someone bullies those little beggars, he will help them."
Hu Zi couldn't bear it any longer, so he stepped forward and said to Qin Ruo.
Having all lived in beggars' dens, they understand better how difficult life is for people at the bottom of society.
Qin Ruo had no intention of blaming Hu Zi. She walked a few steps towards the beggar without changing her expression.
"Tell me? What's your purpose for staying here?"
"I heard from that little kid that there's food to eat if you stay in this place. I just came to see if it's true. Are you the person in charge?" The beggar seemed to sober up. He turned around and sat on the ground again, pointing at Xiaohu lazily.
"Master, I... I swear, I didn't look for him." Hu Zi was anxious, afraid that Qin Ruo would misunderstand him.
I was just speaking for that person, why did this person start talking nonsense?
"You didn't look for me, but I heard you looking for them." The beggar pointed to the house behind and said righteously.
"Master..." Hu Zi was annoyed for a moment.
He regretted being so careless and letting the beggar get on with him. He thought he was a good person.
"Okay, Hu Zi, this is none of your business, go in first." Qin Ruo called Hu Zi. This man was a martial artist, and Xiao Hu could not stop him.
And the other party is obviously well prepared, so let's just take it one step at a time.
"You come in too and tidy yourself up first." Qin Ruo smelled the smell that went straight to the top of his head, frowned and took a step back.
"Okay, okay. Is there anything to eat? I haven't eaten for three days." The beggar's eyes rolled and he quickly asked while the iron was hot.
"Don't go too far, you..." Banxia said angrily, drawing the sword in his hand and pointing it at the beggar.
"I'm hungry. I came here because I heard there was food available." The beggar smiled and pinched the tip of Banxia's sword between two fingers.
Banxia tried to draw back the sword, but the sword didn't move at all.
Qin Ruo smiled, took out a small silver melon seed from her sleeve, and hit the beggar on the back of his hand with it.
The beggar retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
He was startled and dared not act like a troublemaker again. He followed Hu Zi into the house obediently.
