After Chen Huan'an left the pawn shop, the boy who brought him over did not immediately return to the Su's Tavern. He only temporarily turned back and returned to the pawn shop.
When the pawnshop owner saw the boy leaving and returning, he only said to the boy, "Why are you back again?"
Hearing this, the waiter only whispered, "The master wants to sell the jade hosta and jade belt as new goods. It is not cost-effective to sell them to others. After all, one is more than 900 taels of silver, and the other is more than 2 taels of silver."
After hearing what the boy said, the pawnshop owner immediately praised and said, "My boss is so thoughtful."
After that, the shopkeeper didn't talk nonsense. He just found two sandalwood boxes and handed the belt and hosta to the waiter, and the waiter took the hosta and went to the tavern.
It seemed that this pawn shop was opened by that pub, and this pawn shop obviously undercut Chen Huanan's price.
But it's a pity that Chen Huanan doesn't know this.
He was renting a carriage in Dongshi at the moment. After all the trouble, he fell in love with a luxury car at a glance. However, when he asked the other person how much it would cost to go from Anxi to Leiyang, the man compared it.
However, Chen Huanan thought that he still had money, so he wanted to rent the carriage.
But just when he was about to get on the carriage, the head of the nursing home who followed him grabbed him and said, "Master, you only have a total of seventy taels on you now, and the situation at home is not optimistic. If If new bills arise, I'm afraid it will be difficult to repay them. After all, you don't have anything valuable to repay right now?"
Fortunately, Chen Huan'an listened to the advice. After thinking about it, he still didn't insist on renting the luxurious carriage. After that, he only rented a simple carriage for ten taels of silver under the guidance of the nurse.
For such a carriage, Chen Huanan, who was used to living a good life, was naturally not used to it, but at least he saved some expenses now.
After that, the carriage headed all the way to Leiyang City. Since they set off in the afternoon, they naturally passed a small town in the evening.
At that time, the nurse just suggested that if there was no need to waste money, it would be better to find a good place to camp in the wild.
However, Chen Huan'an firmly disagreed with the nursing home's proposal. The spoiled young master had been riding a hard truck all afternoon and refused to continue living in the wild.
In the end, the nursing home couldn't defeat Chen Huanan, so they had no choice but to let him go.
After that, the three of them successfully found a large car shop before dark.
Fortunately, the prices in that big car shop were not expensive, and it only cost three people one tael of silver.
But the environment in the big car shop is not that good. There are many dealers and lackeys here. Dozens of people live in the same room, and they are all a group of men. The smell was intertwined with rancidity, and the young master almost retched from the smell. You can imagine how unpleasant the smell was.
It's a pity that this town is not as good as Anxi Prefecture. There are almost no decent inns. For a while, the young master would rather live in the wild. At least the air in the wild is fresh. Isn't he just spending money to buy his suffering? ?
Therefore, he didn't stay in that house for long before the young master immediately went out to look for food on the pretext of being hungry.
When he came out at this time, it was completely dark. The town is no better than the county capital. Almost as soon as night falls, people in the town close their doors one after another. It is very difficult to find food now.
Chen Huan'an didn't know how far he had walked, but he finally saw a wonton stall open. At that moment, he hurriedly walked to the wonton stall.
There weren't many customers at the wonton stall anymore.
In addition, he only had three or two guests.
At that time, as soon as Chen Huanan approached, the boss immediately smiled and said, "Are you here to eat wontons? I wonder if the guest would like a big bowl or a small bowl?"
Chen Huanan just said, "You are not talking nonsense. Of course it is a big bowl. Eat one bowl and pack two bowls."
After hearing Chen Huanan's words, the store owner immediately smiled and said, "Okay, please come in and I will bring the wontons to you later!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the shopkeeper put another large bowl of wontons inside.
While the store was making wontons, the customers at the stall next door had also finished eating. When they got up to check out, a beggar who had been hiding in the corner immediately headed towards the wonton bowl.
Just when he was about to hold the wonton bowl and drink the remaining soup from the hands of the two remaining guests, one of the guests suddenly kicked the old man to the ground with his quick eyes and said, "Old beggar, you want to eat for free?"
The old man didn't resist when he was kicked to the ground. He just looked at the wonton soup in the man's hand silently through the layer of weed-like white hair.
Seeing that the old man didn't move, the man felt that he was getting more mischievous. He asked, "Do you want to drink this?"
The old man nodded slowly after a moment.
When the man heard this, he just sneered, "If you want to drink, just crawl over here and drink!"
After saying that, the man burst out laughing.
The old man was obviously full of humiliation when he heard this, but the hunger in his belly did not allow him to be pretentious, so he finally crawled over.
However, he had just climbed up to the man when the man did not hand over the soup bowl to the old man as he had said. On the contrary, he only poured the still hot wonton soup over the old man's head. In an instant, the hot soup all over the old man's body. Shivering, at the same time, the white hair that was originally like a canopy of weeds instantly became wet and stuck to his face.
But the man just smiled and said, "Drink! Drink enough!"
The smell of the soup mixed with the man's contempt made the old man look at him with a look that almost wanted to tear the man into pieces.
But the man was not afraid. An old beggar had a broken arm. What was he afraid of?
The man still wanted to play a trick on the old man, but before the man could take action, the old beggar immediately pounced on the man.
The man didn't check for a moment, but the old man threw him to the ground. Then the old man immediately strangled the man's neck. Unfortunately, the old man only had one hand, so his movements were not quick. The man was able to fight back. At the same time, the man's companions saw this and naturally came to help.
Although the old man was brave at the moment, he was obviously no match for these two men.
Soon he was at a disadvantage. Chen Huanan had never been the kind of enthusiastic person, and he even did things to bully others. So when he saw the three of them fighting together, instead of going over to help, he just Just watch with a cold eye.
On the other hand, the shopkeeper, when he saw the three people fighting in a ball, was afraid of destroying his own things, so he immediately came to the rescue.
"Masters, let's stop fighting. Why are you two arguing with a bad old man?"
It's a pity that these two people ignored the store owner's words and just beat the old man up.
The store owner couldn't pull anyone away, so he quickly begged Chen Huan'an on his head, "Master, please help me!"
Chen Huanan didn't want to care about it at first, but he said it out loud, "Why should I bother? I'm here to eat, not to start a fight."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice from the three fighting men, "Zha'er! Is it Zha'er?"
This is Chen Huanan's nickname, and the old man's voice is very familiar.
Upon hearing this voice, Chen Huanan could not sit still.
He immediately looked in the direction of the old man's voice, and then saw the old man's face clearly, and he immediately shouted, "Dad! Why are you here!"
At the same time, Chen Huanan, who originally planned to keep the matter out of his own concerns, was immediately ignited with anger when he found out that the person being beaten was his father. At the same time, he only picked up a bench and then smashed it towards the two people.
The store owner wanted to ask Chen Huan'an to help, but he didn't want Chen Wan'an to join the fight. Seeing that the scene was getting more and more chaotic, the store owner could only say loudly, "If the guests continue to fight! I will have no choice but to call the officials!" "
Hearing the threat from the store, a group of people had to stop, but even if they stopped, no one would act honestly.
They only looked at each other with hatred, and Chen Huan'an didn't care to ask why his father ended up here. He only helped his father up while looking at the two people with vigilance.
The two people spat out a mouthful of blood, then sneered and mocked, "It turned out to be a beggar father and son, but old man, your son is quite filial. You are well fed and well clothed, but you don't care about your father's life or death!" "
Chen Huanan just stared at these two people and said, "What does our father and son's business have to do with you two bastards! If you keep talking nonsense, I will tear your mouths apart!"
Being scolded by Chen Huanan like this
The two men were obviously angry.
I saw several people were about to fight again. The store owner shouted again, "The government is patrolling!"
Those two people might also have some criminal records. As soon as they heard this, the two people fled immediately. Chen Huanan and Chen Shoubei were also a little flustered at the moment, so they fled immediately.
After sneaking away from the wonton stall, Chen Huanan realized that he had not taken the wontons. When the two returned to the stall again, the stall owner had already taken the stall away.
However, the stall owner was quite kind. Although the others left, the three bowls of wontons that Chen Huanan paid for remained where they were.
Chen Huanan just trotted over. He picked up a bowl of wontons and handed them to his father.
"Dad, you can eat it."
Chen Shoubei was not polite to Chen Huanan. He just took the wontons and started to wolf them down.
Chen Huanan watched his father finish his large bowl of wontons.
He looked at his father's head of white hair, his embarrassed figure, and his broken arm. At the moment, he simply couldn't believe that his father had fallen to this point.
"Dad, how did you end up like this? And why is your arm missing? Did those nasty officials remove your arm?"
When Chen Shoubei heard his son's question, he just shook his head and said, "This matter has nothing to do with official duties. I accidentally encountered a robber on the road and was stabbed by the robber. Fortunately, they did not take my life. Dad can find you."
After hearing Chen Shoubei's words, Chen Huanan felt a soreness in his nose again.
