So on the bustling streets of Bianliang City, Fang Bi wore a moon-white long coat and carried a straw stick full of candied haws on his shoulders.
As he walked, he distributed the candied haws on straw sticks to the children on the roadside.
So much so that those children began to follow Fang Bie while eating candied haws, and also followed behind the dark and skinny young man.
Hei Wu didn't care about anything, he just followed Fang Farewell.
It wasn't until Fang Bie distributed all the full candied haws, and only two were left, that he waved his hand and said to the children, "No more."
"Isn't there more?" the children said, pointing to the two remaining sticks on top.
"How many? Not much." Fang Bie said with a smile. As he said this, he took off one of them and handed it to Hei Wu, and put the other one in his hand.
"Look, there really aren't any more."
Saying this, Fang Bi also handed the straw sticks to the children. Watching the children running away happily carrying the sticks, he turned back and looked at Hei Wu; "Is it delicious?"
Heiwu had just swallowed his first hawthorn wrapped in rock sugar.
Hei Wu didn't say anything and just ate the candied haws on his own. This showed that the low-energy standby had no impact on his eating.
Of course, he didn't bother to answer Fang's other words.
At this moment, an angry man rushed to Fang Bing: "Did you just steal my money?"
Fang Bie looked at him while eating candied haws, and saw that he was about thirty years old, with a thin and unshaven face and a ginger complexion. As a thief, he had basically entered the end of his career.
"Didn't I tell you to be careful when walking in the future?" Fang Bie said quietly, and then took a bite of the candied haws.
At that moment the thief was speechless.
Yes, if he didn't hit Fang Bing, then the money wouldn't have been stolen.
Of course - if he hadn't bumped into Fang Bing, he would have stolen Fang Bing's money like this.
But at this time, he couldn't think about that much anymore. He stepped forward to hug Fang Bi's waist, and then shouted the classic line that he almost never used.
"Catch the thief!"
But the ideal is plump, but the reality is unexpectedly skinny. Just when he opened his mouth to shout and pounce, Fang Bie quietly spit out the innermost hawthorn seeds, which hit his chest. At that moment, he just I felt exhausted and weak all over, and my attempts to shout out suddenly stopped.
He clutched his chest and fell to the ground. As he walked past him, he threw a money bag in front of him.
That was the remaining money from buying candied haws.
"There is heaven outside the world, and there are people outside the world. Just accept it when you see it." Fang Bie's voice came quietly from his ears.
The thief fell to the ground without forgetting to hold the money bag in his arms.
When he raised his head, Fang Bie had already disappeared into the vast sea of people.
Such an episode really doesn't matter to Fang Bie at all. He doesn't have any kind-heartedness to teach the other person to change his ways, abandon evil and promote good. He just punishes him a little if he steals it, but Since he can find it, then just return the remaining money to him.
After all, those candied haws on a stick are not that expensive.
Everyone has his own life, and even stealing is a way to maintain a living. Even if it is despised, some people survive by doing this.
Fang Bie never thought about training him to be a great philosopher who would never be able to work part-time, but the young man never thought that he had the power to judge his fate.
To put it bluntly, in the end it was you who took his money, not him who took his own.
When he was thinking like this, Fang Bi had already stopped in front of a house. He saw two stone lions as tall as one person standing on both sides of the house door, looking very powerful.
The plaque on the door of the vermilion house has the name of Guo Mansion written in large gilt characters.
Fang Bie bit off the last candied haws, then walked to the door of the mansion with the sticky stick, pressed the ring in front of the door and tapped twice.
Immediately, the door opened, and an old man who looked like a housekeeper walked out in small steps. He looked at Fang Bie carefully and said, "Who are you?"
"I'm looking for Mr. Guo Shengguo." Fang Bie said quietly, and handed the candied haws stick in his hand to the housekeeper: "Give him this and tell him that the man named Fang is here to help him."
The Qingyi steward looked at the candied haws stick in his hand that was still a little sticky after just eating it, and for a moment he felt like he was being teased.
But the other party said Guo Sheng's name straight away, and with such a familiar attitude, he couldn't help but hesitate.
"Go quickly." Fang Bie looked at him and said with a smile, "I'll be waiting at the door. If I'm teasing you, it won't be too late for you to let the dog out and bite me."
Fang Bie always had this faint smile, and he was neither hasty nor slow when talking to anyone. The young man had a delicate face, and although his clothes were not luxurious, he was absolutely clean and tidy. He was neither humble nor overbearing, so when talking to anyone, he would not be in a hurry. Feeling slighted.
The housekeeper looked at Fang Farewell, and finally nodded, holding the stick and walking into the house.
But Fang Bie quietly turned around, put his foot on the stone lion's feet and jumped lightly, then he flew into the air, and then landed on the stone lion's head.
Wait quietly.
Not long after, the door reopened, and a young man in his twenties wearing a luxurious black robe hurriedly opened the door and ran out. At a glance, he saw Fangbie sitting on the stone lion.
"Why did you think of coming to see me?" The other party looked up at Fang Bie and cursed with a smile.
"It's agreed, let's eat together." Fang Bie said quietly with a faint smile.
"Then come in." The other party smiled.
Fang Bie then jumped down from the stone lion's head, and then patted Hei Wu's shoulder.
"Let's go."
So Hei Wu followed Fang Bie into the Guo Mansion's mansion.
…
…
Don't say it's just a meal, but you must have a meal.
Guo Sheng doesn't know what kind of relationship he has with Fang Bie, but if he can at least enjoy the meal, it means that the relationship is not bad.
It was just about noon at this time, and perhaps Fang Bue came to the door just in time for the meal. In short, Master Guo gave the order, and large hard dishes such as Yellow River carp noodles, peony agarwood, and Sixi meatballs were placed on the table. The whole table was full, but there were only three people at the table, Fang Bie, Guo Sheng and Hei Wu.
But Hei Wu was sitting at the dinner table, dumbfounded and motionless.
"Who is he?" Only then did Guo Sheng remember to ask this question.
"A thug who can eat." Fang Bie said quietly, while holding the tea in front of him and sipping it bit by bit.
Fang Bie usually doesn't eat other people's food, but when he comes to Guo Sheng, he is willing to drink Guo Sheng's tea. This kind of trust is already quite difficult.
"Is Xinyang Maojian the only one in your family?" Fang Bie lowered his curled lips and said after taking a sip.
"I can't help it. I have three tea mountains in Xinyang. Of course I can only drink Xinyang Maojian." Guo Sheng said with a smile, and then pointed at Hei Wu: "Why doesn't he eat? Is it possible that he is a fearful monster like you? ?”
"No one in this world is less afraid of death than him." Fang Bie said quietly, "The reason why he doesn't eat."
"Mainly because I'm afraid of scaring you." Fang Bie looked at Guo Sheng and said seriously.
"I'm not scared." Guo Sheng said equally seriously.
"Okay." Fang Bie sighed: "Hei Wu, you can eat now."
Fang Bie gave an order, and Hei Wu, who was originally as quiet as a virgin, instantly moved, and fired his bows from left to right. Since the cook at Guo Sheng's side was a top chef, the ingredients were processed very carefully. It can be said that there are no bones in the meat, and the fish is There are no thorns in the inside, and the black one does not use chopsticks at all, just shoot left and right, wolfing down the food, giving people the feeling of stuffing one plate after another into the stomach.
In particular, Kuromu looked so skinny that he looked like a short boy. No one could imagine that there was a big appetite in a small body.
Guo Sheng was really shocked.
He forgot to ask Fang Bie about other things, and just watched Hei Wu bombard him wildly, and almost wiped out the entire table of dishes in one stick of incense.
"You, where did you find this loser?" Guo Sheng said incoherently.
"It's a long story. Besides, he's not a foodie. He's called a thug who can eat."
"To be honest, I shot a wild boar last night and he ate half a slice by himself. He also ate a lot of baked buns this morning, so now he is only half full." Fang Bie said seriously, and every word was true, but Guo Sheng It sounds like hearing a fantasy.
"Is he good at fighting?" Guo Sheng asked.
Fang Bu nodded.
"Can you fight me?" Guo Sheng asked again.
Don't think carefully this time: "Probably not."
"It seems that you at least save food." Guo Sheng said seriously.
"You can do as much as you eat, haven't you heard of this principle?" Fang Bie said quietly.
"But he also finished your portion." Guo Sheng said.
"It's okay, then I'll eat less." Fang Bie said calmly.
"So, what are you going to do in Bianliang this time? Who else is going to be unlucky? Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Guo Sheng said next like a barrage of firecrackers.
"It's a private matter, and I don't have any intention of bringing anyone bad luck." Fang Bie said calmly: "Ye Chong, do you know this person?"
"You mean that drug dealer?" Guo Sheng said thoughtfully.
"As long as you know this name." Fang Bie looked at Guo Sheng: "What's his story?"
"Anyway, he is a very capable person." Guo Sheng said lightly: "He is now considered the most powerful drug dealer in Bianliang City. Not only does he have access to medicinal materials, but he also has a backer. The medicinal material business in Bianliang City is controlled by him. Most likely, his subordinates have seven or eight herbal medicine shops in Bianliang City alone. Some people say that he has connections in the palace, but no one knows whether it is true or not."
"But there is a saying that goes well."
"If you upload rumors that you don't know to be true or false, just treat them as true. You won't suffer any loss anyway."
When talking about business, Master Guo's expression was also very serious.
"Then I want to go to him to buy some medicinal materials. Can I buy it?" Fang Bie asked again.
Guo Sheng looked at Fang Bie: "What medicinal materials?"
"You don't need to know the name, but you only need to know that he may be the only one in Bianliang City who has this medicinal material." Fang Bie said.
"How many taels of silver are needed?" Guo Sheng asked directly.
"I know you, Master Guo, are rich." Fang Bie smiled and said, "But I won't use your money this time."
"Really?" Guo Sheng was doubtful: "Have you ever wanted money?"
"When silver is useful, you need silver. When silver is useless, you can't eat or drink that thing. Do you believe that everyone will use paper money in the future?" Fang Bie said with a faint smile.
"My family also has a lot of paper money. The banknotes from my Guo Family Bank can be exchanged and circulated in the eighteen provinces of China." Guo Sheng looked at Fang Bie and said.
"That's because the silver is too heavy, and can you pay taxes to the court on your banknotes?" Fang Bie smiled and said, "To put it bluntly, you should understand that the banknotes are your bank's deposit certificates."
"Okay, no more talking."
"I want to buy some medicinal materials from Ye Zhong now. Is there any way you can recommend them to me?"
Guo Sheng slapped his thigh: "You've got a great idea."
"This Ye Chong usually doesn't see outsiders. He can only see others with letters of recommendation." After Guo Sheng said this, he suddenly thought of something and then looked at Fang Bian: "Why do you think you want to come to me for a meal?" !”
"Have you ever gone to see Ye Chong, but were turned away?"
"This really doesn't exist." Fang Bie said quietly, "I just asked more about it beforehand."
"Then you still want my information about Ye Chong?" Guo Sheng pretended to be angry.
"There is nothing wrong with having more intelligence sources to compare with each other." Fang Bi smiled: "No matter which intelligence source we look at at the moment, this person named Ye is very difficult to deal with, right?"
Guo Sheng nodded seriously.
"Wait a moment, I will write you a letter of recommendation right now." Guo Sheng said this without exchanging pleasantries with Fang. He turned around and walked into the study. Not long after, he took a sealed envelope with lacquer. He gave it to Fang Farewell: "The outside is the seal of my Guo Mansion, and the letter inside contains my private seal."
"Ye Chong will naturally be willing to see you after seeing this letter."
"Is there anything else you need help with?" Guo Shengqing said with great sincerity.
Fang Bie smiled: "No need for the time being."
"So you won't stay at my place tonight?" Guo Sheng continued to ask.
Fang Bi shook his head: "I won't cause any trouble to you."
Guo Sheng smiled, knowing that Fang Bie's words were not polite.
When he says it causes trouble, it means causing trouble.
"Then I won't keep you. I hope that next time we meet, you still have something I can help with." Guo Sheng said with a smile.
"It's better to meet less often. After all, we don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything." Fang Bie took the letter in Guo Sheng's hand, patted Heiwu who had finished eating, turned around and walked out the door.
He came to Guo Mansion actually just for this letter of recommendation.
Guo Sheng also understood, so since he had accomplished his goal, there was no need to stay long.
Heiwu immediately stood up and followed Fang Bie. He had been in an inefficient standby state, but he was still eating unambiguously.
Fang Bie had already walked outside the door.
Guo Sheng suddenly stopped Fang Farewell.
"etc."
Don't look back.
Guo Sheng looked at this handsome and lonely young man and felt that this person had never changed much in the past few years.
It seems that his growth ended too early, so over the long years, all that is left is sedimentation.
"Don't die." Guo Sheng said quietly.
Fang Bi started laughing.
"I won't die."
The young man turned and left.
Only a month of white back remains.
