The man looked at the rusty dagger in the other person's hand, with the edge curled up, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, his legs trembling a little.
Although the dagger was badly broken, it was a weapon after all!
Once stabbed in the body, you will be disabled even if you die!
But in today's Dajin, what's the difference between being disabled, injured, and dead? It's nothing more than one dying immediately and the other waiting to die.
"What are you two good men talking about? Look at my ragged clothes. Where did I get food from?"
"These two heroes are really joking. I'll leave now so that I won't be in the way of these two heroes."
The man smiled apologetically, turned around and ran away. He really burst out with the strength of his own feeding and ran as fast as he could!
However, he ran fast, but the two people behind him ran even faster!
After chasing him out of the alley, he caught up with the man within a few steps. One of them punched him to the ground, then kicked him hard in the abdomen, and finally vomited in his face. He spat.
"Run away, mother, can you be okay if you just be honest?" Another man caught up with him, opened up the man's tattered clothes, and tried to snatch away the half piece of steamed bun.
The man didn't know where he got the strength at this time. He grabbed the bun tightly and refused to let go.
However, the next moment, his abdomen suffered another heavy blow. The pain made him curl up and spit out bitter water from his mouth.
However, even so, he still never let go.
"Okay, okay, you're still a tough guy!" The man cursed, then increased his force and kicked the man in the abdomen repeatedly!
No matter how strong the man's will was, under the continuous heavy blows, his pupils could not help but begin to dilate, and the strength of his hands weakened involuntarily, and he was eventually taken away by the two men.
"Go quickly, don't let others snatch it away." After the two people got the steamed buns, they left quickly, not daring to stay where they were.
Listening to the footsteps of the two people getting further away, two lines of hot tears slowly flowed from the man's eyes.
For some reason, at this moment, he just felt that it might be a relief if he died.
But he can't die yet, he has to live because he still has a daughter to raise.
Thinking of his daughter, the man squeezed out a little strength from his already withered body, climbed up with difficulty, walked to the wall, held on to the wall, and gasped for air.
His abdomen was already experiencing severe spasm-like pain from the heavy blows he had just received.
Of course, not eating for a long time is also part of the reason.
However, he now has no means to relieve his abdominal pain. At most, he can only find a place to rest and then continue begging.
He raised his head and looked around, but everything he saw was dilapidated and desolate.
Now this has become the main color of Jindu City.
The only different building has four big characters written on its plaque - Taoqian Shop.
Looking at this sign, the man becomes angry.
They were originally an ordinary family in Jindu City, they could even be called a well-off family!
My parents are still alive, my wife is beautiful, and I have a sweet and lovely daughter. Apart from working harder on weekdays, I am really happy and happy.
However, everything changed until the day Taoqian Store opened!
Who wouldn’t be tempted by the free profits and money?
So he followed the trend and deposited all the money he had accumulated at home into a money-mining shop.
However, before he could withdraw the principal with interest, a huge change came!
The old king of Jin died and the new king ascended the throne.
Subsequently, the Taoqian store was sealed and all relevant personnel were driven out of Dajin.
Immediately afterwards, riots broke out all over the country. Many aristocratic families, headed by the Zheng family, coveted the throne of the Jin Dynasty and constantly provoked disputes, causing people to live in dire straits!
During this period, I don’t know how many people died.
But now, as the man looked at the signboard of the money shop that was already covered with dust and cobwebs, he couldn't help but think about how much better it would have been if he hadn't deposited the money in it in the first place.
At least I can have something to eat in this troubled world.
The man lamented, broke away from the illusory fantasy, walked hobblingly to the door of the money shop, sat down, and wanted to rest against the door.
However, he hadn't been close for long when he heard the door behind him burst open.
He also stumbled and fell backwards!
After falling, the man got up with a surprised look on his face and looked back.
What came into view was a young face. This young man was wearing a luxurious moon-white robe. His hair was carefully styled and put into a bun. His face was fair and clean, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he had a sense of heroism hidden in his face. Look, they are our children.
Even the princes and nobles may not have this temperament.
The man's first reaction after seeing this person was to kneel down on the spot, hug the young man's thigh, and cry: "Sir, please do me a favor and give me something to eat."
"I'll be a cow or a horse for you, and I'm even willing to risk my life!"
Listening to the man's cry, Li Changkong couldn't help but sigh slightly, then he bowed down, helped the man up with his own hands, and said, "It doesn't have to be like this."
"Have you ever saved money at our money shop?"
"What...what do you mean?" The man was stunned on the spot, seeming to realize something, but he couldn't believe it.
"You only need to answer whether you have deposited money, how much you have deposited, when you deposited it, and whether you want to take it out now." Li Changkong said.
Hearing this, the man swallowed and couldn't believe Li Changkong's words: "Sir... you mean, can you get back the money you saved before?"
"Of course, when we do business, the most important thing is integrity."
"How much you have saved, you can withdraw now. Oh, that's not right, you can withdraw the interest as well!"
Hearing this, the man seemed to be knocked unconscious by a huge surprise. He stayed there for a long time before he recovered and said eagerly: "I saved twenty taels of silver, three months ago!"
"I don't want interest, just return the principal to me!"
When Li Changkong heard this, he smiled and said: "It's impossible not to ask for interest. When we open our doors to do business, we pay attention to the integrity of children and old men. The money that belongs to you is yours. Our money shop will not pay a penny." Want more.”
"Twenty taels of silver, saved for three months, will give you twenty-three taels of silver plus five hundred copper coins. You are right to do the math."
When the man heard this, he looked a little embarrassed, because although he had attended private school for several years, he only learned literacy and did not understand arithmetic.
But all he knew was that he got three taels of silver in vain! And you can get twenty-three taels at one time! This is a great joy!
"Yes, yes, exactly. I dare to ask, sir, can you give me the money now?" the man asked eagerly.
"Easy to say, just come with me and get the money."
The man then followed Li Changkong into the money-mining shop, and with the help of the temporary accountant and staff of Daqian Navy soldiers, he took away the twenty-three taels of silver that belonged to him, plus five hundred copper plates.
I couldn't help but smile and feel that I have never been so rich!
