I live in Dayu Changsheng

Chapter 31, Actors

The bright moon hung high, and the bright moonlight shrouded the earth like mist and veil, shining brightly. Unlike the scorching heat of the day, this night was actually a bit cold.

Sometimes the night wind blows through the treetops, and the sound is like a low whimper.

Under such circumstances, Fang Rui came to Uncle Zaohuai's house.

The sound of talking came from inside the house, making him stop for a while.

……

Uncle Zaohuai's house, under the dim light, the family is having dinner.

Just as Fang Rui expected, Uncle Zaohuai's family had already eaten up the five or six catties of wheat bran earlier, and they returned to the old days, returning to the days of boiled willow leaves.

"Yuck~"

Ah Huai swallowed a piece of boiled willow leaf, covered her mouth, and retched.

"After a few good days, the willow leaves won't be able to eat anymore?" Uncle Zaohuai said in a muffled voice.

Yes, the good life in his mouth is nothing more than: wheat bran and willow leaves, mixed together and cooked.

Neither Ah Huai nor Mrs. Xianglin refuted this point.

To some extent, in this year, this is indeed a 'good day'.

Happiness is in contrast.

Outside the city, it has long been difficult to live, the bark and grass roots are rushing to eat - not to mention fishing and hunting, if fishing and hunting can be done, what kind of drought year is it?
Clothes are not covered, refugees are everywhere, and there are bones on the road... This is the true portrayal of the countryside.

Only larger caravans have enough guards to explore safe routes, travel back and forth, transport grain and trade, which is also the reason for the soaring price of grain in the city.

"No, I can eat it."

Ah Huai said vaguely, as if she was afraid that the bowl would be taken away, to prove it, she took a big mouthful of willow leaves, chewed and swallowed them.

The bitter taste of the old willow leaves soaked into the stomach and heart all at once, gushing out from the corners of the eyes.

——It’s like: People can be cried bitterly and sourly, and likewise, they can be cried bitterly.

"Cough cough, cough cough!" Ah Huai coughed violently, with water dripping from the corners of his eyes uncontrollably.

"Son, slow down, slow down!"

Mrs. Xianglin patted Ah Huai's back, her eyes showed a hint of distress, she opened her mouth, and finally said, "Master, why don't I go to Fang's to borrow some wheat chaff? Brother Rui also said last time, we If there is no food, you can borrow it again..."

Uncle Zaohuai was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about it, and finally said: "No matter how strong you are, wait until you really can't go on, let's talk."

……

Outside.

Hearing this, Fang Rui looked up at the sky, sighed imperceptibly, stopped lingering, and said, "Uncle Zaohuai! Sister Xianglin!"

"Brother Rui is here?"

Seeing Fang Rui enter the door, Uncle Zaohuai's family got up.

"Brother Rui, come on, sit down, sit down!"

Mrs. Xianglin turned around to move the chair, her expression flustered - just now she was talking about Fang Rui, but Fang Rui came to the door suddenly, which made her feel a little uneasy like "saying Cao Cao Cao Cao is here".

"Stop sitting. I thought, your family should have eaten up all the wheat bran last time, so I sent another ten catties."

Fang Rui didn't wait for the two of them to speak, and said, "Uncle Zaohuai and Sister Xianglin, don't be shy! It's still the same sentence: just borrow it, and when the time is good, your family will return it. Don't worry about it." What is the psychological burden."

After that, he put down the grain bag, turned and left.

Yes, I didn't say anything superfluous, and I didn't stay to listen to the words of gratitude from Uncle Zaohuai's family.

because.

Fang Rui knew: Some people in Liushu Alley borrowed ten catties of wheat chaff, and they could say a whole lot of good things, which made you smile.

But Uncle Zaohuai’s family is different, Uncle Zaohuai’s mouth is dull, while Sister Xianglin and Ahuai are also relatively shy, and they don’t know how to say gratitude, but they will remember it in their hearts.

He doesn't want to do anything, as long as he knows: this family will not be ungrateful if they take things, and just repay their kindness with revenge.

Fang Rui left in a hurry.

Uncle Zaohuai hurriedly sent him out, watching Fang Rui's back disappear into the night, and after a while, he turned around and went back to the house: "Put away your things! Our family owes Fang's, and we still have to pay it off!"

"Huaizi, you will have a child in the future, you have to tell him, remember?" he reminded.

"Hey, dad, I've got that in mind."

Ah Huai nodded earnestly, and then grinned at Mrs. Xianglin: "Mother, tomorrow, when we cook willow leaves, can we add some wheat bran to make a paste? Like a few days ago?"

"Yeah, you little bastard is the smartest!"

Mrs. Xianglin patted Ah Huai on the head, picked up the food bag like a baby, took it back to the house, and muttered: "With these, our family can last for a while... I will give this little sack to you." Take it out, wash it, and send it back to Fang's sister-in-law tomorrow..."

……

Mrs. Cai Gen noticed Fang Rui delivering food to Uncle Zaohuai's family.

Coincidentally, at that time, she came out to pour the pot and dishwashing water, and happened to see it.

Come back home.

Sister-in-law Cai Gen sighed again when she mentioned this: "If I knew it, I should have helped Fang's family back then. Look at Zaohuai's house. There is a shortage of food, and some people will come to deliver wheat chaff... Sigh!"

"Mom, our family hasn't eaten wheat bran for a long time, I really want to eat wheat bran cake!" Erdan heard the wheat bran, subconsciously touched his stomach, and swallowed.

"Poor me!"

Mrs. Caigen looked at her earthy-faced, skinny son, and said distressedly: "Master, you said: We always eat willow leaves, and this is no way to go on. We adults are fine, but the child... has been eating for a long time. Everyone is devoured!"

Under the moonlight, Uncle Fuquan sat on the threshold weaving baskets, fell silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "What did I say? What can I do?"

"Buying grain? The family has no money. Borrowing grain? There are only a few better families in the alley, and we don't have a good relationship with us..."

At the beginning, his family borrowed food from Fang's family, but spoke for Song Dashan. After this incident, the other families in Liushu Hutong said nothing on the surface, but they secretly labeled his family as "revenge for kindness" in their hearts, and faintly rejected him. .

In this situation, even if Mrs. Cai Gen lowered her face to borrow food, she couldn't.

"At the beginning, if I didn't speak to Song Dashan, it would be fine even if I didn't! Now I can go to Fang's house to borrow food with the cheek..."

This incident was dreamed back at midnight, and Mrs. Cai Gen dreamed about it more than once, and woke up from regret.

After being silent for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "Even if you eat willow leaves, you have to mix them with some wheat bran. You can't eat them anymore... In a few days, the Tiger Gang's regular money should be paid... The head of the family, tomorrow, Go to the pawnshop to pawn the dowry I brought when I was married!"

Uncle Fuquan trembled, and immediately, he sighed deeply.

"I'm sorry, bastard, mother's silver hairpin, I thought it would be passed on to your daughter-in-law in the future... But now... our family can't hold on anymore, we can't go on!"

Mrs. Cai Gen touched Erdan's face and silently shed two lines of tears.

"mother!"

Er Dan had a sore nose, although he was not very sensible, but in this atmosphere, he felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

"Don't cry, my son, it's my mother's fault, it's my mother's fault... If you sell the silver hairpin, you can buy wheat bran and make pancakes for you..."

Mrs. Cai Gen sniffed, forced a smile, got up and went to the back room to get things.

……

Fang Rui didn't know what happened to Mrs. Cai Gen's house. At this time, he came back from Uncle Zaohuai's house and entered the house.

"Has the food been delivered?"

At this time, Fang Xueshi had just washed the dishes, wiped his hands, came out of the kitchen, and asked.

"Give it away. Uncle Zaohuai's house...it's very difficult!" Fang Rui said.

"This year is difficult and bitter."

Fang Xueshi sighed: "Our family can't help, the most is to pick one or two families with better relationship and help some."

"Yes!"

Fang Rui nodded.

He is not a cold-blooded person. In this cold world, it is impossible to save all living beings like the Virgin Mary, but he is not hesitant to help those who show kindness to him within his ability.

——Such as Uncle Zaohuai's house.

"Fortunately, our family can survive."

Fang Xue was overjoyed: "Brother Rui, if you hadn't recovered and made a breakthrough, our family's life would have been difficult."

Fang Rui smiled and said nothing.

In the dim light of the fire.

Fang Xue was sewing clothes beside the oil lamp.

Fang Rui held Fang Ling in his arms, told stories in a warm voice, and waited for the time to go to the black market.

Outside the window, the night wind was blowing rapidly, sending out bursts of whimpering, a little escaped into the house, causing the flames of the oil lamp to jump up and down.

The small shadows of the three were reflected on the ground, clinging to each other, and swaying slightly with the firelight.

……

When the time was almost up, Fang Rui got up, picked up the medicine bag, led Fang Xueshi and Fang Ling to the cellar, and went out.

Jiang Ping'an had already explained in advance that when he went out, he could see two familiar figures in the alley in the distance.

"Brother Jiang is in place, and I can go too."

Fang Rui nodded over there, and went straight to the black market.

……

After traveling so many times, Fang Rui was already familiar with the road, paying money, getting a license plate, entering the black market, and setting up stalls.

Many people have recognized him, or sideways, or awe, or fear... accompanied by a burst of whispering.

"It's him! It's him!"

"This is the strong man recognized by Master Yuan. I heard that Zhou Changlin and Gao Tong are the murderers..."

"Hush, shut up, don't talk too much, this is a master, people can hear it."

……

This is the aftermath of the last incident... However, correspondingly, Fang Rui became more famous and his business became more prosperous.

All I can say is: he is in pain and happy.

"Ten copies of 'Scar Removal Cream'."

The guest took the things, paid the money, but didn't leave: "My lord, I'm the steward of the Chang family... My master said, please take care of the hospital, 15 taels of silver a month..."

"Sorry, I like freedom and can't bear any constraints."

Fang Rui refused without thinking.

"Hey! That's fine, sir, you are busy!"

This person didn't bother, and left happily.

——His master had already told him that no matter whether Fang Rui agreed or not, he would treat him well...Even if he didn't mention this, Fang Rui didn't dare to neglect Fang Rui just because of his status as a strong man!
Next, among the people who bought the medicine, there were two or three waves of people, who said they were caravans, bodyguards, etc., and wanted to invite him, and offered him a maximum of 20 taels of silver per month...

Fang Rui rejected them all!

'Why do you want me to be a dog? ' He was depressed.

If you expose the strength of the seventh rank and take refuge in one side, where will you lose money?But, he didn't want to.

'Of course, this can be regarded as a part-time job, such as the security guard in the previous life, so I don't have any psychological barriers. '

'It's just that if you take the money, you have to bear the obligation! '

They paid a lot of money to invite you to go. It is impossible for you to be idle. If you think about it, you will know that it is impossible... and if you fight and kill, you will end up with enemies and get involved in some trouble... If you get involved again What should I do if I see a big person or a big power?
Taking a step back, after revealing their identities, the Chou family has no choice but to turn around and deal with Fang Xue and Fang Ling, what should they do?

This is a matter of mobilizing the whole body!
'I've read novels, such as guards, escorts, caravans...all are synonyms for trouble, it's too dangerous! '

'This doesn't match my cautious personality... After all, if you can survive, why fight and kill?I am a peace-loving person! ' Fang Rui thought to himself.

"Two copies of 'Growing Muscle Powder' and three copies of 'Scar Removing Cream'!"

"coming!"

Fang Rui regained consciousness and handed over the medicine bag.

"It's better to sell medicine like this, free and easy, and the most important thing is: less trouble..." He took the money and said with satisfaction in his heart.

……

When the medicine pack is more than half sold.

The black market patrol officers came over, and a person Fang Rui didn't expect appeared among them.

"Hey, Mr. Fang, the business is booming, good luck!" Gao Yao greeted him with a smile as usual, nodding and bowing.

"Gao Yao?!"

Fang Rui's eyes flashed, and he understood what this person was thinking: "Last time, this guy set up a trick for Yuan Da to be a knife in order to survive, but he offended that...so, fearing revenge, he joined the black market and became a Patrol guard? '

'This trick is not really effective. After Gao Yao became his own family, people like Yuan Da may not care about it...Of course, it's just not necessarily, but it can be regarded as a wonderful move! '

'Join if you can't beat it?This guy is truly a talent! '

Fang Rui already thought about it, but he still asked, "How did you become a black market guard?"

Gao Yao naturally wouldn't say 'I'm afraid of Yuan Da's revenge', but just said: "Hey, Master Fang, you also know that the city has been in turmoil recently, life is hard, and it coincides with the black market recruiting people... I can talk a little bit, I joined the black market..."

"So that's how it is." Fang Rui nodded without prodding.

"From now on, Master Fang will take care of you..." Gao Yao was as respectful as always, and he spoke nicely.

Even if he joins the black market and becomes a patrol guard, he still can't afford to offend Fang Rui. If he makes Fang Rui unhappy and makes a move outside, who knows?Who cares?
"It's easy to say, easy to say!" Fang Rui responded.

The two chatted for a while, and Gao wanted to leave.

far away.

After leaving a certain distance, Gao Yao suddenly changed his face, a look of ferocious jealousy flashed across his face, he spat backwards, and said bitterly: "Bah, this Fang's business is really good!"

"And last time... Hmph, don't let me find a chance!"

He murmured, straightened his waist, turned around and walked away with a figure-of-sight step.

'Good guy! '

Fang Rui was always thinking about this person. At this moment, he saw this scene clearly and confirmed that he was right: "This Gao Yao... is playing me?" '

On acting?

He had something to say.

Fang Ruike is also an experienced senior actor. He has played Lord Tiger and Lord Leopard...the latter one is dead now, but the former one is also like a grasshopper after autumn, on the way to death.
