On Zhuque Street, one of the busiest streets in Xianyang City, Yi Beihan glanced around, and cursed in his mouth, "Damn it! The shopkeeper is such a fucking scammer, these two sets of clothes cost two A gold coin, why doesn't he go and rob it!"

Seeing Yi Beihan who was swearing but happy in his heart, Su Xing smiled wryly and said, "Xiaohan, just stop scolding, that store is a famous boutique store nearby, and they never bargain. You have killed half of the price, which is already worthy of your pride! Didn't you see the excited expression of the shop owner as if we had sent away the plague god when we left the boutique?"

Speaking of this, Su Xing couldn't help recalling that in the boutique, Yi Beihan bargained with the owner of the boutique, and insisted on cutting the clothes that were originally two gold coins into a set of gold coins, so that the owner could not He said with emotion: "Little brother, if you want to find a job that day, come to me, and I will apply for you with a high salary!"

Seeing the amazement on Su Xing's face, Yi Beihan couldn't help but said triumphantly: "Xiaohan, brother is amazing! From now on, you can follow my brother! I will never let you suffer!"

At this moment, suddenly, a boy who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing tattered clothes, pale face, holding two steamed buns tightly in his hands, bumped into Yi Beihan's body, and was shocked to the ground. on the ground.

And behind him came a burly man in a white coat with the appearance of a chef, pointed at the boy who fell on the ground with both feet, and cursed: "The little beggar you brought here dares to steal steamed buns, you want to die, don't you? "After finishing speaking, there were two feet on the boy's body.

When Yi Beihan saw the big guy kicking the young boy on the ground, he immediately scolded dissatisfiedly: "Stop it, isn't it just two steamed buns? Is it necessary to treat a boy like this? How much are these two steamed buns? I'll pay for him." gone."

Hearing Yi Beihan's scolding, the big man immediately retracted the foot that was about to kick the boy on the ground again, then turned his head to look at Yi Beihan, seeing his luxurious clothes and extraordinary bearing, he immediately said respectfully: "I have seen you two Young master, two steamed buns only cost ten copper coins." After speaking, he looked at Yi Beihan eagerly.

This is, without Yi Beihan's instructions, Su Xing has taken the initiative to take out a silver coin from his bosom, handed it to the big man, and said, "Give me the eighteen steamed buns again, and this silver coin will be yours."

After the big man happily took the silver coin, he thanked Su Xing and ran back to the steamed bun.

Yi Beihan pulled up the boy who fell on the ground, helped him pat the dust off his body, and then asked, "What's your name? Seeing that you are healthy, why don't you find an apprentice job?" , to fill your stomach, but become a beggar and steal other people’s steamed buns?"

Hearing Li Jiawang's words, the boy's eyes darkened and he said: "My name is Ke Xi, and I actually don't want to eat other people's steamed buns, but in order to take care of my seriously ill mother, I quit my job as an apprentice. I have no income and can't buy food. So I had to beg and steal, otherwise, my mother and I would starve to death on the streets."

Seeing Kexi's gloomy eyes, Yi Beihan couldn't help sighing secretly in his heart. A month ago, he was not much better than him, his future was gloomy, and his life had no hope, but now, because of an adventure, he , Gained great strength, got rid of the predicament at once, and the future is bright.

When Yi Beihan compared himself a month ago with the young Cauchy in front of him, and expressed his emotion about the change of life, the big man just ran over with a big bag of steamed buns, and said respectfully: "Master, here you are!" , These are twenty steamed buns."

Yi Beihan took the steamed buns and handed them to Ke Xi, saying, "Can we go to your house to have a look? Maybe we can help you mother and child a little bit!"

Ke Xi took the steamed bun, lowered his head, hesitated for a while, then raised his head slowly, glanced at Yi Beihan and Su Xing, bit his lips and said, "Okay, follow me!" After finishing speaking , and walked into a corner of Suzaku Avenue.

Elbehan followed Cauchy, and after turning more than a dozen alleys with him, he came to a house full of broken wooden boards. The ground was dirty and smelly. Or lying in the alleys of many thin, gray-faced, dull-eyed, lifeless old people and children.

At this time, Su Xing couldn't help but hold his nose and said to Ke Xi: "Do you and your mother live here? Can this be the master?" Although he was only a slave of the Rhine Academy, the Rhine Academy did not treat slaves harshly. It can be guaranteed that he will not have to worry about food and clothing, at most it will be a little tiring to work!It is no exaggeration to say that for the poor and beggars living in this alley, the life of slaves at the Rhine Institute was simply a happy life like heaven.

Hearing Su Xing's questioning tone, Kexi's body shook violently, and then he walked straight into a wooden room with a big hole in the door, facing a man lying on a bed made of hay, his body The old woman was as skinny as a stick, her face was pale and bloodless, and her eyes were shining with love: "Mom, I brought you something to eat!" After speaking, she took out a steamed bun from the bag and handed it to the old woman. people.

The old woman looked at Kexi with kind eyes, and at the same time stretched out her hands with only skin and bones to take the steamed bun, slowly brought it to her mouth, took a bite, and said with tears in her eyes: "Son! It's really hard for you!"

She knew that Kexi quit her apprentice job to take care of her, and now she has no money to buy steamed buns. These steamed buns must have been begged or stolen by him, but she would not point this out, because she did not want to hurt her son in the future. The last bit of self-esteem in front of the mother.

At this time, Ke Xi knelt in front of the old woman, looked at her with a bit of self-blame and said, "Mother, it's because the child is unfilial and failed to take good care of you."

Hearing Ke Xi's words, the old woman put down the steamed bun in her hand, stroked his head with her hand, did not speak, but sighed softly.

At this moment, Yi Beihan and Su Xing walked into the dilapidated wooden house, "Aunt Ke, is that you?" Su Xing stood at the wooden door, looking at the old woman and asked in surprise.

"Are you Xiaoxing?" The old woman looked at Su Xing who was wearing gorgeous clothes, and asked with some uncertainty.

"Yes! I'm Xiaoxing!" Su Xing exclaimed excitedly. After finishing speaking, she turned her head and said to Yi Beihan, "Xiaohan, do you still remember that time when you were severely injured by Hans and Carter and lay on the bed?" You can’t move for a month, and I send you food every day? Do you know that Mrs. Ke in the kitchen specially left those foods for you? Otherwise, how could I send you hot food every time? What the heck!"

Hearing Su Xing's words, Yi Beihan was obviously taken aback. He didn't expect that he would have such an intersection with the old woman in front of him, but the old woman smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Xing, seeing how proud you are, this It should be a good few years!"

"It's okay! I just don't know why my aunt suddenly left the academy three years ago! Didn't you have a good life there?" Su Xing looked at the emaciated old woman lying on a bed made of hay , said with tears in the corners of his eyes, back then, he was not less taken care of by the old lady.

"Although the college is good, I have reasons to leave." The old woman said softly, and after she finished speaking, she gave Coxi a loving look.

At this time, Cauchy's body trembled. He knew that his mother left the academy because of his willfulness, otherwise he wouldn't be lying here seriously ill.

Next, Su Xing chatted with the old woman for a while, about the things they lived in the academy together a long time ago, and their respective experiences after the old woman left the academy. When they finally left, Yi Beihan handed over five gold coins He said to Coxi: "Use the money to buy some medicines and supplements for your mother! From now on, I will visit you often."

Cauchy took the five gold coins, bit his lip and said, "Thank you, I will repay you in the future."

Hearing what Kexi said, Yi Beihan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't say that, my aunt is kind to me, this is what I should do, if you have anything to do in the future, you can come to the Rhine Institute to find me, I will try my best Help you." After finishing speaking, he and Su Xing left Kexi's house.

At a table in the northwest corner of the first floor of Xiangyun Inn, Yi Beihan and Su Xing sat facing each other, "Xiao Xing, I will help you get out of slavery after you get a big reward in the college competition in a month's time. Then, let's go to the mainland together, okay?" Yi Beihan drank a few glasses of wine, his face was full of beautiful longing for the future, and he said confidently to Su Xing.

"I'm sorry Xiaohan, I can't travel the mainland with you, and I can't cheer you on in the college competition, because I'm leaving the imperial capital tomorrow." Su Xing drank the wine in his glass, muffled road.

"What's going on?" Yi Beihan asked with his eyes wide open, puzzled.

"This morning, when you were talking with Teacher Lan, an uncle of mine came to me and said that he had no heirs and wanted to help me out of slavery and let me adopt him as his son, so as not to break Su Incense from home."

"You promised him?" Yi Beihan said softly, seeing that Su Xing nodded, he continued, "How is his condition?"

"Fortunately, he is a businessman who opened several shops and grain farms in the northwest province of the empire. He said that after I went, he would teach me how to do business. After a hundred years, I will inherit his inheritance and wealth. "Su Xing lowered his head and said.
