The girl inquired with a sense of disappointment, but people nearby said that the family had moved away a few years ago, which made her even more disappointed.

The young man named Peacock behind her has been following her patiently, asking about each house. In fact, when she finished asking the first house, the man wanted to leave.

But the girl still didn't give up and asked questions from the street to the end, from what she knew to what she didn't know.

at last.

Yeer squatted in the corner and cried helplessly.

Now, she really became an orphan.

The peacock watched quietly.

After a while, he asked as if he was belatedly thinking: "Why are you crying? There are people in the world who are almost dead. They are the ones who should cry the most. You are still alive and well, so you should laugh!"

He really didn't know how to comfort him.

"Let's go. If we can't find a place to live, we'll be sleeping on the streets tonight!"

The girl raised her tear-filled eyes, blinked a few times, and asked with sobs: "Master, are you talking about us?"

The peacock laughed.

"Is there anyone else here besides you?"

"If you don't leave, I will leave, ahem..."

He suddenly coughed. His facial features were very ordinary. When he coughed, his face seemed to be squeezed together. It was as if the cough had torn out his heart and pierced his lungs. His blood immediately faded and became frighteningly white.

The girl stood up in such a hurry that she even forgot to cry. She was at a loss as she didn't expect that the person in front of her was suffering from such a serious disease.

After coughing for a while and breathing smoothly, the peacock's face gradually relaxed again.

The two people walked along the long street, looking for the inns on both sides. Unfortunately, they arrived late, either they were full or they were short of money. The disdainful eyes of the waiters were really uncomfortable.

The two of them had no choice but to keep walking hungry.

The sky is getting dark.

In the city of Luoyang, the lights of thousands of houses were lit up, and heroes from all walks of life gathered together, making the place very lively and noisy. There was shouting and drinking in the restaurant, the sound of gambling, and the sound of fistfights. In the brothel, there were even more singing and dancing, and laughter.

Jianghu, the so-called Jianghu, in the final analysis, is nothing more than three things, martial arts, fine wine, and women.

The former is for fighting, while the latter two are for enjoyment.

Once you embark on the road of rivers and lakes, you may have unlimited glory today, but you will be dead in the wilderness tomorrow. Therefore, some people are very smart. They only live today as the last day forever, squandering enjoyment, drinking the best wine, and sleeping the most.

Beautiful woman, let’s talk tomorrow.

And night is always the best time to enjoy it.

"Master, where are we going?"

Ye'er looked enviously at the bustle on both sides of the long street, and then looked at the peacock who had been walking silently.

When he first heard her name, Peacock was stunned for a moment and said, "What did you call me just now?"

The girl said: "Master, you have adopted me. I have seen many people shout like this."

Her little face looked as if it should be taken for granted.

Peacock corrected him: "Just call me Young Master!"

Ye'er nodded as if he understood. "I understand, Master!"

The peacock never spoke again.

The two of them walked slowly along, looking for a place to stay and a place to fill their stomachs. The excitement was just other people's excitement and had nothing to do with them.

"Candied haws on a stick, fragrant and sweet candied haws on a stick!"

Listen to the shouting.

Ye'er glanced over involuntarily, and saw an old man in civilian clothes turning from the entrance to the nearby market. He was carrying a stick tied with grass on his shoulder, with the last few bunches of candied haws on the top of the stick.

"Want to eat?"

Perhaps seeing the girl's eyes, Peacock asked.

"think!"

Yeer nodded.

"Then, just buy a bunch!"

The peacock took out two coins from his tight belt.

I was thinking of saying hello to the old man.

"I want them all!"

Unexpectedly, a light voice came from the market entrance, light and airy.

The old man immediately turned around with a smile and saw that no one was there.

Peacock and Yeer looked at each other with big eyes. This world is too difficult. They can't find a place to live, and they can't even buy a bunch of candied haws.

Ye'er pouted and muttered something, and Peacock also smiled helplessly.

The two of them continued to walk, and when they reached the entrance of the market, they saw a figure in green clothes sitting at a small stall on the roadside with a big golden knife, holding a few bunches of candied haws in each hand, as if eating them.

Same, take one bite from the left, take a bite from the right, swallow the sugar-coated hawthorn whole into your mouth, bulge your cheeks, and spit out only the core.

It was a wonton stall located in a secluded corner of the city. The stall owners were a middle-aged couple. There was a lamp in front of the stall and there was only one customer.

There was an alluring fragrance in the wind, and the two of them wanted to continue walking, but as soon as they smelled the smell, their eyes couldn't leave each other, and the glutton in the only son seemed to be aroused, and he screamed.

Like a magic trick, Peacock took out a few more coins, looked at the girl next to him who couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and walked towards the wonton stand.

“How much does a bowl of wontons cost?”

"Six cents!"

After listening to the stall owner, Peacock found a table and sat down.

"Have a bowl!"

Ye'er on the side also hurriedly sat down.

The lights are dim.

The stall was very quiet. Apart from the busy activities of the stall owners, there was only the sound of the man in Tsing Yi chewing candied haws. The man was dressed in plain Tsing Yi, with gold thread embroidered on the cuffs and neckline. He had a white jade finger ring on his left hand and tied on his right wrist.

Wearing a silver bell, her black hair was tied back casually by a black hairband.

The master and the servant could already see the man's face. Just a sneak peek, they already felt that it was so thrilling that it was difficult to look away.

It's a pity that the appearance of eating like eating jujubes is a bit unsightly. The two cheeks are hard to be rounded by the hawthorns. The mouth and tongue of those who are watching are sour. Ye'er swallows his saliva unconsciously and his eyes look straight.

But suddenly, in their eyes, they saw the man in Tsing Yi trembling all over after biting a hawthorn. His indescribable face instantly became twisted and ferocious, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he was shaking his head like crazy.

.

Only under Ye'er's horrified gaze did the man in Tsing Yi open his mouth and spat out a crushed hawthorn, and then whispered to himself: "This mother is so bitter, the little old man is dishonest!"

He looked at the candied haws in his hand again, smashed it into his mouth, and seemed to be hesitating whether to continue eating.

"You have to eat the candied haws slowly!"

A crisp little voice sounded.

It was Ye'er who spoke.

As soon as the man in Tsing Yi raised his head, his face seemed to have absorbed all the light in the stall, and it seemed that his face was already glowing, reflecting his eyebrows, eyes, nose, and even the mole under his eye.

It's crystal clear.

He looked at the two people, nodded and said with a smile: "It makes sense, but it's the same as being too impatient to eat hot tofu. However, eating too slowly is actually not good. If you just taste the sweetness, it's like you're eating too much fish every day."

Big meat, you think it tastes good on the first day, and it tastes good the next day, but after you eat it for more than half a year, you will find that you want to eat some green vegetables and tofu instead."

"People can't just eat sweets. Only by chewing the sour and bitter ones properly can you realize the value of sweetness!"

Ye'er listened with a confused look on her face. She really didn't understand why the other party could say such a long story about what she said.

"Remembering the bitter and remembering the sweet?"

Peacock spoke, he shook his head and said: "No!"

The man in green frowned and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"

The peacock looked at him.

"It is easy to move from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to move from luxury to frugality. Those who are powerful in the world may be tired of eating big fish and meat, but they will never eat green vegetables and tofu, because there is still beef in this world.

There is horse meat, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and running on the ground. They will only find new ways to find it, and they will never be satisfied!"

After listening to the man in Tsing Yi, he slowly said: "It makes sense. People's desires are endless. Once they start, many people will just keep looking for satisfaction instead of self-control. It seems that you are very fond of powerful people.

There is resentment!"

Peacock said calmly: "So, I am determined to become a powerful person in the world, and more powerful than those people!"

"Be ambitious!"
