Chapter 6 The old beggar

(Thanks to yschr2007, thank you for your support, see the dawn below, and work harder.)

After walking a few steps, Su Tiancheng suddenly felt something was wrong, and his sixth sense reminded him that someone was following him.This is the horse market, where people come and go, he doesn't know why he feels this way.

Su Tiancheng turned around abruptly, and was startled when he saw the person following behind him.

The person following behind had disheveled hair, a small face, dusty, and a lot of dirt. On the small face like a sesame seed cake, only the big nose and big mouth were exposed, and were covered by the stains. Going up, I don't know if it's a human or a ghost. The worn-out long gown on my body can no longer make out the color, and there are too many dirts, covering it layer by layer.

This is a beggar.

Su Tiancheng was secretly surprised, not because of this person's attire, or his identity as a beggar, but because he wandered around the horse market for a long time without knowing that such a person was following him, isn't it so strange.

"Master, please do me a favor, I haven't eaten for several days..."

The beggar stretched out his hand, it was not considered a hand, it was similar to chicken feet, the color of the skin could not be seen, the whole body was swarthy, and it had not been washed for an unknown amount of time.

A strange sour smell emanated from the beggar's body, like the smell of rotten food, it was disgusting.

People in the horse market didn't feel much about the existence of the old beggar. Many people walked past them as if they didn't see them.

Enduring the unpleasant smell, Su Tiancheng also thought about leaving, but for some reason, he just couldn't move. Seeing this beggar, he had a special feeling in his heart.

"Old man, follow me."

Su Tiancheng held the horse with his left hand, and the beggar's hand with his right hand.

The beggar's body trembled slightly.

"My lord, if there is any leftovers, I would be grateful if you gave me a bite."

Su Tiancheng didn't let go of the beggar's hand, he led the beggar and the horse, and walked straight to the nearest sesame seed shop.

This scene was too strange, and soon, the eyes of all around shot over, and the voice of discussion came out.

"Look, this old beggar is lucky, he met the big boss..."

"Hee hee, birds of a feather flock together, people are divided into groups..."

"It's strange, this man is wearing a brocade robe, his identity is not simple, why is he holding the hand of a beggar..."

The surrounding discussions reached Su Tiancheng's ears. He still dragged the beggar and walked towards the biscuit shop.

The beggar was not polite either, and followed Su Tiancheng, walking slowly towards the sesame seed shop.

The beggar's eyes were very sharp, looking at Su Tiancheng, paying attention to Su Tiancheng's every move.

There are still quite a few shops for buying snacks in the horse market. People who come here to trade all want to eat.

The owner of the biscuit shop was a middle-aged man. When he saw Su Tiancheng and the beggar coming, he held his nose and waved.

"Don't come here anymore. I'm in a small business and I can't stand the trouble. Many people in my family still have to eat..."

"Boss, I'll buy ten biscuits."

Su Tiancheng took out a small piece of silver from his pocket, and prepared to hand it to the owner of the biscuit shop.

Who knew, the boss raised his hand and blocked Su Tiancheng's hand.

"Didn't you hear me, I don't want your money, I don't do your business, you go to other places to buy biscuits."

Su Tiancheng looked at the boss's contemptuous eyes, and wished to tear down the shop. Dogs look down on people. He is not a big man, but he is also a small businessman. Is it annoying? Maybe a few years later, something will happen, and the fate of you, a small boss, will be worse than that of a beggar.

"Shopkeeper, I bought ten sesame seed cakes, I don't want to cause trouble, this old man is hungry, I just want to invite him to eat sesame seed cakes, besides, your sesame seed cakes here are fragrant and must taste good."

The boss looked at Su Tiancheng and was stunned for a moment. He probably didn't expect that Su Tiancheng not only didn't lose his temper, but also said such words that made him feel comfortable.

There were quite a lot of people watching the excitement around, many of them were pointing fingers, with mocking smiles on their faces, without any scruples, the boss really didn't want to cause any trouble, maybe he was touched, and quickly packed it in a paper bag Ten sesame cakes were handed to Su Tiancheng.

"Take it, go, I don't want your money anymore."

"Shopkeeper, I'm here to buy biscuits, and I must pay. I will remember the boss's kindness. When you go out, you will always encounter something. If you can reach out, you might as well help. Thank you."

Su Tiancheng put the broken silver on the noodle table, smiled at the boss, and pulled the beggar away.

From the beginning to the end, Su Tiancheng was polite and well-spoken.

Ten sesame cakes are worth only fifty copper coins, and the pieces of silver on the noodle table are worth at least five qian, worth five hundred copper coins.

The boss hurriedly took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket, and caught up with Su Tiancheng without counting them carefully.

"My lord, here is the copper coin for you."

"Forget it, you don't need to look for it. If someone else is hungry in the future, I hope you can help."

After Su Tiancheng and the beggar left for a long time, the boss realized that he turned around and returned to the shop, and spoke to the customers behind him.

"Hey, sesame seed cakes cost fifty copper coins each, I'm so embarrassed."

"Why do you care so much? It's important to do business. The old beggar smelled so bad just now. Fortunately, they left."

"What do you know? When people are in trouble, the harvest has been bad in the past few years, and there have been a lot of beggars in my hometown. If one day relatives come here, don't we just ignore them?"

The woman looked at the head of the house and didn't speak for a long time. Could it be that someone bought ten sesame cakes here and said a few words, and the head of the house changed his temperament? This is really unpredictable.

Su Tiancheng carefully handed the paper bag containing sesame seed cakes to the old beggar. He had already gotten used to the smell of the old beggar.

Su Tiancheng was very careful about his attitude, he couldn't show an air of being superior to others in front of beggars, showing the air of giving alms, no one would accept the food offered by pouting, beggars also have personality.

The old beggar took the paper bag, took out a sesame seed cake, quickly stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it in three or two bites.

When the old beggar took out the second sesame seed cake, he made a movement that stunned Su Tiancheng.

The old beggar handed the biscuits to Su Tiancheng.

"Young master, you are a good person. I saw that you came to the horse market, and you have not eaten. You ate a biscuit."

The old beggar's hands were really dirty, five black fingerprints had already been imprinted on the yellow sesame seed cakes, no one could eat such sesame seed cakes.

Su Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately took the biscuits.

"Thank you, old man. I'm really hungry."

Su Tiancheng held the biscuits, opened his mouth, and was about to eat.

The reason why Su Tiancheng was able to do this was due to some experiences in his previous life. At that time, when he went to the countryside and arrived at a farmer's house, the teacup handed over by him was sticky, and the color of the tea in it could not be seen clearly, but You still have to drink, or else you look down on others. Although the cigarettes handed over by farmers cost a few cents a pack, it is very difficult to smoke, but you have to smoke them.

I don't know what the old beggar's action means, but Su Tiancheng will not refuse, a dirty biscuit can't kill anyone.

"Haha, the old beggar's ten sesame cakes may not be enough to eat, young master, thank you, we will meet later."

Before Su Tiancheng could react, the biscuits in his hand disappeared. What made him even more surprised was that the old beggar had disappeared, and the voice seemed to come from far away.

There are still bustling crowds around, many people holding torches, and the surroundings are brightly illuminated.

Su Tiancheng shook his head, thinking that everything just now was just a dream.
