Zhenlongting

Chapter 2

Sensing Zhang Kun's strange eyes, the girl's body trembled slightly, she quickly put down his hand, stepped back a little, and kept her head down, not daring to look over.

"I...you can cure it?"

Zhang Kun asked struggling.

He was injured, suffered from the wind and cold, and was lying on the street on a miserable and rainy night. Logically speaking, he was basically hopeless.

However, there happened to be a doctor who knew how to see a doctor, and he seemed to have a good heart. Could it be that his life should not be lost?
"No..." The girl lowered her head even more, her hair covered her face, and she couldn't see anything. Amidst the sound of rain, she almost couldn't hear what she was saying.

"I don't know medicine, I don't know anything!"

Her voice was already crying.

Well, there is no need to ask, judging from the situation, there should be a tragic story that is difficult to tell, about medical skills, about the experience of living on the streets.

So what if the other party has medical skills?They were so poor that they begged for rice, and no matter how good-hearted they were, they couldn't help a stranger like him. It would be great to be able to help a stranger to shelter him from the rain.

Gradually the rain became heavier again, the sky gradually darkened, and gradually people's faces could not be seen clearly.

It seems that the night gave the girl a little courage, and she didn't know when, she got closer again, and Zhang Kun could even feel a little warmth from her body.

"Do you want to eat?" The girl suddenly took out half of the black thing from her pocket, put it to her mouth and bit a piece lightly, squinted her eyes and chewed contentedly, took a bite, thought about it, and broke off half of it , handed over.

"what?"

"Mo..."

Zhang Kun shook his head. At this time, his head was dizzy. The most important thing was the constant pain between the chest and lungs, and the slight numbness of the body and limbs. Where did the appetite come from?

Besides, this dark-looking thing doesn't taste good at first glance, and the other party seems to cherish it very much.

It must have been thrown to her by some kind-hearted person when she was begging for food.

It might be her daily ration.

The two tentatively said a few words, and then fell completely silent.

Zhang Kun's mind was in a daze, and he didn't notice when the heavy rain stopped in the second half of the night. When he opened his eyes again, he found that the sky was dazzling and the sun had come out.

Not far away, there were cries, footsteps, wooden wheels rolling, donkeys and horses neighing...

This street is completely alive.

His head was still a little heavy, and his brain was not so clear, but there was no sharp pain between his chest and lungs.However, it was as if a big rock had been crushed, and it was very difficult to breathe.

'The injury didn't get worse, but it didn't get better either. '

Zhang Kun frowned tightly, glanced over, and saw not far from his head, there was a half-black broken bowl with clear water in it, which was placed within reach.

The guy must have collected half a bowl of rainwater and put it here last night.

It is true that a patient with a fever will be thirsty.

However, Zhang Kun couldn't help but twitched his mouth when he saw the dirty bowl and the dross settled in the bottom of the water.

This kind of unhygienic cold water, if I drink half a bowl, I probably won't be able to hold it...

After all, modern people generally have weak physical resistance and are not trained.

'What about the little girl begging for food? '

Zhang Kunqiang felt uncomfortable, half-supported his body, looked sideways, and saw a slightly thin and dark figure, holding a broken bowl, chasing someone by the side of the road to beg.

"Master, madam, please do me a favor, I haven't eaten for a long time."

"Brother, grandma, give me some money."

The girl's face was black, and there was a flower. It was obvious that she found a little soot and wiped her face again.I don't know who I am hiding from, and I dare not show my true face.

Her voice is clear and pleasant, but her voice is pleasant, but it cannot be eaten as food.

"Go, smelly beggar, stay away."

"Get out of the way!"

A man stretched out his hand fiercely and pulled it, causing the little girl to fall to the ground.

The people around walked around at a distance, and a large number of people were holding their noses with disgust in their eyes.

Zhang Kun noticed that the flow of people on this street is actually good. There are ordinary people in short jackets who go to the city to go to the market, there are also some scholars and businessmen in long robes, and there are even tall foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes...

There are people riding donkeys, people in carriages, people on foot, men, women and children, all of them.

But no one was seen, so he threw a copper coin into the broken bowl of the young beggar.

Just like that, watching the young beggar running around, being rejected by others, being driven away by others... Until the sun was in the middle, she didn't beg for anything.

Thinking of the half-slice of steamed bun that the little girl tore off last night, Zhang Kun thought he was a rough guy, and couldn't help feeling a little sore in his heart.

'What a miserable woman. '

"Come here..." He cleared his throat and called.

After yelling several times, the girl turned her head in confusion, approached hesitantly, and asked, "Are you thirsty and need a drink?" She bent down and went to fetch the half bowl of clear water.

"No, it's wrong for you to ask for money like this. You need a story."

Zhang Kun was impatient to beat around the bush, so he said bluntly that he was out of energy and couldn't hold on to the long-winded teaching.

It won't get better if I see this injury and disease with my own eyes, so if I can help her, I will help her.

"Huh?" The girl was puzzled.

"I've never heard of the story. The storyteller in the teahouse always knows it, but he doesn't know it. Do you know the drama?"

Looking at the girl's eyes that were both clear and confused, Zhang Kun continued to explain.

"The most stupid way is to forcefully ask for it, which will arouse the disgust of others."

"Wait a minute, you move me to the sun, near the side of the road, I'm in charge of pretending to be dead, and you are in charge of crying, understand?"

"Understood." The girl vaguely knew what to do.

"When asking for money, you said selling your body for burial... No, it's selling your body to treat your brother's illness." I wanted to talk about selling my body to bury my father, but halfway through, seeing the girl's eyebrows drooping, she was so entangled that she was about to cry again, so Zhang Kun quickly Change your mouth.

I thought, this guy's father may have died, and it was not long ago.

"I won't sell it." The girl stopped crying now, her eyebrows were furrowed, sullen.

"I didn't ask you to sell it. It's just a gimmick. Do you know the gimmick? It's just talking. You offer 100 taels of silver to see if someone will buy you, you little girl?"

Zhang Kun took a few deep breaths, managed to catch his breath, and said slowly: "I said, you do it, don't ask why, if you want to get money and eat something good, just be obedient."

"You pick up a plank and bring a piece of coal over here."

This time the girl didn't hesitate, there are piles of rubbish here, there is everything, but there is no food.

Soon, she picked up broken wood chips and coal particles, Zhang Kun took them in his hand, and wrote a few words with difficulty.

"Only ask for a penny?"

As soon as she finished writing, the girl read it out.

"It's even better that you can read. You'll just ask for it later... If someone gave you two, you have to return one; if you gave three, you should return two, and then thank them."

"Refund the money?" Even if the girl's face was wiped off, Zhang Kun could still see the incomprehension on her face.

"Just do it...that's it."

Zhang Kun felt that after such a conversation, he was exhausted and a little sleepy. His body was so cold that he couldn't help shivering, and he had already started to shake.

'This injury is getting worse, I don't know if I can survive until dark? '

He sighed secretly.

Next, the girl may have tried it out, and really moved Zhang Kun to the side of the road under the sun, and put it there to pretend to be a corpse, no, it was pretending to be a patient.

In fact, there is no need to pretend.

Anyone who has eyes can see that Zhang Kun is seriously ill at a glance. There are large blood stains on the white T-shirt on his chest. He has obviously vomited a lot of blood and is about to die.

The wooden boards were placed on the ground, and some pedestrians who could read read out curiously, "I only ask for one penny."

The girl couldn't let it go before, and she didn't know how much mental construction she had gone through. She stuttered at first, and after a while, she spoke fluently.

"Sell yourself to treat your brother's illness, and you only ask for a penny."

"Only ask for one penny, never ask for more."

"Only ask for a penny."

This time, no one chased her away.

On the contrary, some curious idlers came forward to ask the price.

"Sell yourself, at what price?"

"100 taels."

"Crazy or stupid, 100 taels can buy dozens of you." The idle man cursed in embarrassment, and there was laughter from all around.

Those who sell themselves to bury their fathers have seen it before, but only a beautiful little lady can sell herself.

It's very rare to sell yourself to treat your brother's illness. Besides, this dirty little girl can't even see her face, and she can't sell for a high price.

Anyway, it can be regarded as attracting the eyes of pedestrians.

It doesn't matter whether you buy it or not, just watch the excitement.

When there were too many people, some people "showed great kindness" and threw a copper coin or two under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"It's nothing more than selling yourself, it's so pitiful, go buy a steamed bun to eat, don't starve yourself to death."

Someone said so.

"Thank you, sir." The girl burst into tears of gratitude, and quickly thanked her.

She remembered what Zhang Kun said, pinched a few copper coins, her face was tangled to death, and handed back a copper coin to a middle-aged man in a robe next to her, "Master, I only ask for a penny, and I will pay you back a penny."

The middle-aged man just dropped two copper coins.

I have to return a text, the girl still remembers it clearly.

Everyone was stunned.

And this thing?

Then, the situation changed completely.

From far and near, people came closer and shouted loudly.

"Quickly, come and see, here is a foolish beggar who only asks for a penny, don't give too much."

"Really, I've never seen such a stupid person. Is there anyone who doesn't want money?"

"It's true. I saw it with my own eyes. She gave me back four after she was given five... You are so stupid, no wonder you were born to be a beggar."

"I don't believe it, go try it."

"I'll try it too."

As a result, the flow of people gathered more and more, and after they really tried it, they sighed with satisfaction that there are still fools in this world.

People who come and go will give two coins, some will give three coins, and some will give ten coins.

Some brightly dressed businessmen even threw a small piece of broken silver just to make fun of it.

About two or three dollars.

When this piece of broken silver was thrown on the ground, Zhang Kun was lying on the ground, and he heard gasps from everyone around him, and saw the girl biting her cheek tightly, handing the broken silver back respectfully... I thought this guy is not I know how hard it is to endure, but fortunately I am still obedient, otherwise, the people will collapse later, and it will not end well.

It's fine now.

There will never be fewer people watching the excitement, and more people watching fools...

Zhang Kun was lying there, no one paid attention to it, but he could see clearly that the little girl had already secretly transferred the copper coins filled in the bowl to the clothes bag, and transferred them three times.

The bowl is still full.

However, passers-by still enjoy it, try this "fool", how stupid is it?
He kept on writing three articles, and dropped five articles.

Some people even tried back and forth several times.

From time to time, there was loud laughter all around, like watching a play.
