Seeing this, Wu ran to pick up Changan.
The group of young men rushed to a stall nearby, grabbed an old man and shouted, "I finally caught you! You dare to sell fake medicine to me, do you want to die?"
The old man was so scared that he trembled and said, "How dare I sell fake medicine? They are all real medicine, all real medicine."
"Huh! Real medicine? You made my dog leg crippled, and you still dare to say it's real medicine?" A teenager in red clothes said viciously, "Pay me money quickly! Otherwise, I will break one of your legs!"
"What I sold is really not fake medicine, that dog leg was frostbitten, which is not easy to cure." The old man wanted to cry but had no tears.
A young man in green clothes next to him scolded, "Stop talking nonsense! I asked you to pay the money quickly!"
The old man asked crying, "May I ask how you want to pay me?"
"Fifty taels of silver! If you are one penny less, I will make you look bad!" said the young man in red.
"Fifty, fifty taels?" The old man rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Dare to pretend to be dead?" The red-clothed youth and the green-mountain youth kicked the old man hard, but the old man did not move.
The red-clothed youth was furious and waved his hand: "Smash it for me!"
So several servants around him came forward and smashed the old man's medicine stall to pieces.
The red-clothed youth was still not satisfied, and ordered people to search the old man's body, found hundreds of copper coins, and then walked away.
After they left, everyone talked about it.
"Whose child is this? So rampant?"
"It seems to be the eldest grandson of the rich man Xue in the county. He is usually spoiled and is a little bully in the county."
"Alas, how did old man Hu offend them? He will suffer in the future."
"Not a big deal. It is said that the little bully's father is a bailiff in the county government, and he is also a scoundrel. Whoever offends him will have bad consequences in the future."
Someone helped the veterinarian old man Hu up and sent him to the clinic.
Chang'an was carried away by his aunt and did not see this scene.
However, her eyes met with a half-grown dog.
The dog slumped on the ground and whimpered at Chang'an, seeming to be in great pain.
Strangely, the people around it avoided it as if the dog was some kind of monster.
Chang'an stared at the small black and white dog and seemed to see tears flashing in its eyes.
"This is the dog of the little bully. Don't mess with it." Someone muttered.
"Yes, it's probably the little bully who deliberately left it here. He wants to make money. We must not be fooled."
Everyone retreated further after hearing this.
Everyone whispered for a while, and then returned to their respective stalls to continue squatting and selling.
Chang'an and Goudan sat down on the side of the road again and continued to display her Guanyin statue.
After a while, two or three ladies with baskets came over. When they saw Chang'an from a distance, their eyes lit up and they quickly came to her.
"Oh, I finally found your little kid."
An old lady asked with a smile, "You're not wearing a Buddhist string today?"
Chang'an nodded and showed the Guanyin statue in her arms, "I have this."
The old lady quickly took it and looked at it, "How much do you want?"
Chang'an held up two fingers, "Two hundred."
The old lady took out two hundred copper coins without saying a word and stuffed them into her basket, smiling and putting the Guanyin statue into the basket.
The other two old ladies also asked, "Anything else?"
Chang'an shook his head, "No more."
Then he pointed at Goudan, "There are still Buddhist strings."
The two old ladies took a look at the Buddhist string in Goudan's hand and were a little bored.
The old lady in front said, "The little kid's Buddhist string is also effective. Last time I spent a hundred coins to buy a string for my grandson to wear. A group of children went out to play, and several of them fell into the cellar. Only my eldest grandson survived. Alas, if he hadn't come back to report the news, those children would have been miserable."
Even so, the three children either broke their legs or arms, which was heartbreaking.
When the other two ladies heard this, they immediately took out a hundred coins each and handed them to Goudan, and each took a string of beads and left. Goudan was stunned.
After being stunned for a while, he jumped up happily and showed his mother the two hundred coins: "Mom! I made money! Haha! You said that all this belongs to me."
Qian also smiled from ear to ear, and nodded quickly and said: "Yes, mom will keep it for you first and give it to you when I get home." Goudan
did not doubt it and gave the money to his mother. Qiao'er
was a little envious and said to her mother: "Mom, give me two strings too,
and I will do it too." Qian took the money and said casually: "You are a little girl, you should stay with your mother. There are too many people in the market, it's too chaotic." Qiao'er pouted and
sat aside unhappily.
Chang'an also gave the two hundred coins to his aunt, and then nestled in her arms.
Goudan saw that Chang'an did not sit aside, so he had to stay with his mother.
Suddenly, Chang'an saw that the bald uncle from that day came again.
He was looking for something around, and when he saw Chang'an, he immediately came over with a smile. "Little kid, why didn't you sell your beads?"
Chang'an pointed at his aunt's backpack and said nothing.
Baldy Zhang took a look and asked, "How much?"
Wu was about to answer, but Chang'an said first, "Fifty coins a string."
Baldy Zhang looked at the little kid meaningfully, sat down next to him, and said, "Okay, give me all ten strings."
Chang'an was immediately excited when she heard it, and handed all ten strings to him, and then looked at him without blinking, the meaning was obvious.
Baldy Zhang put all the beads on his wrist and said, "I will give you one string of money when I sell one string."
Chang'an twitched her eyes and nodded.
Wu and Qian looked at each other, not understanding what this man wanted to do.
But little Chang'an seemed to be familiar with him, so they stopped talking.
Then he patted the ground beside him and said, "Little kid, come and sit."
Chang'an sat over as he said.
Then Baldy Zhang put the beads on the little kid's neck one by one.
Chang'an looked down at the beads in front of her and said, "Sell it for a hundred coins, and I want eighty coins." She didn't want to be fooled by the baldy uncle.
Bald Zhang was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Okay, I'll give you 80 coins for each string you sell, and the rest will belong to me, how about that?"
Chang'an blinked and nodded.
"Little kid, where do you live?" Bald Zhang asked.
Chang'an:
Uncle Bald is very cunning, she will not tell him the truth.
"Do you have brothers and sisters?" Bald then pulled a piece of grass from the roadside and held it in his mouth.
Chang'an looked around and ignored him.
Bald Zhang laughed and said, "Little kid is really rude."
Chang'an pretended not to understand and turned to look at the dog that was getting closer and closer to him.
The dog dragged its hind legs and fell to the ground, looking at him with wet eyes, so pitiful.
At this time, someone came over: "Zhang Baldy, you are out to cheat again?"
Zhang Baldy looked at him with squinted eyes: "What did I cheat you? The last time Aunt Wang bought a string of beads from me, did she save her grandson's life?"
The man snorted: "It's just a coincidence."
Zhang Baldy rolled his eyes, and suddenly said solemnly: "Chen Wu, I see that your forehead is black, and you are worried about your life recently."
Chen Wu said angrily: "Go to hell! You want to cheat me out of money, no way!"
Zhang Baldy shook his head and said mysteriously: "Alas, if you don't believe the old man's words, you will suffer a loss. I advise you to buy a string of beads quickly, otherwise it will be too late to regret if something really happens."
Chen Wu's face turned green. (End of this chapter)
