"I heard it from a storytelling expert. I have a good memory, so I wrote it down." Zhu Chongba explained.
It just so happened that his second brother didn't like listening to storytelling, so after listening to Zhu Chongba's words, he had no doubts at all.
Young people love to play by nature, and Zhu Chongba and his second brother are no exception. The two of them had a good meal here, and they were so happy. It was very late before the two brothers returned to the inn.
In this way, the two brothers walked back and forth. The scenery of Jiangnan is a feast for their eyes, and the food of Jiangnan is a feast for their mouths. Zhu Chongba had a deep understanding of the prosperity of Jiangnan, and it seemed that this was really a good choice as a base.
On this day, they finally arrived in Zhouzhuang.
In later generations, Zhouzhuang was a well-known tourist destination, but the rise of Zhouzhuang can be said to have relied on Shen Wansan's alone.
Zhu Chongba and his second brother got off the carriage together. Zhu Chongba asked the coachman to wait by the village, and the two brothers entered Zhouzhuang together.
Why is this place different from what I remember? Zhu Chongba remembered the bustling scene here in his heart. The streets are crowded with people, and many shops are selling Wansan Hoof.
There is no shop open here now. Why is this village so sparsely populated? Zhu Chongba had a lot of questions in his heart, but he couldn't express them. If he said anything, his second brother would be surprised again.
At this time, an old man walked past them, and Zhu Chongba hurriedly asked, "Old man, do you know where Shen Wansan's family is?"
What Zhu Chongba didn't expect was that the old man blinked at Zhu Chongba with a puzzled expression on his face.
His second brother hurriedly said: "Old man, is there a man named Shen Wansan here?"
This time, after hearing this, the father-in-law thought for a while, "There is no one named Shen Wansan. There seems to be a person named Shen Fu. He is a businessman and is the richest man known far and wide."
After Zhu Chongba heard this, he said: "Yes, it's Shen Fu." Then he remembered that Shen Wansan was the later name, and now he is called Shen Fu.
"It's really rare for a kid like you to say such strange things at such a young age!" The old man said and left without looking back.
"Chongba, is this what you heard when you listened to the book?" His second brother said with a smile.
Zhu Chongba didn't speak at this moment. He saw something happened in front of Zhuangtou.
"Second brother, look!" Zhu Chongba said.
His second brother then looked ahead.
It turned out that there was a child begging for food in front of a house. Instead of giving him food, the house beat him and kicked him.
That child's body is already weak, how could he withstand such a beating! Suddenly he was lying on the ground frothing at the mouth!
Zhu Chongba couldn't stand it anymore. He was about to step forward, but his second brother stopped him.
At this time, someone spoke, "Butcher Zhang, stop it!"
"Who is meddling in other people's business? I just won't stop." Butcher Zhang continued to kick the child.
Zhu Chongba couldn't stand it anymore, so he ran in front of the child while his second brother wasn't paying attention.
Somehow, Zhu Chongba was able to give first aid. He first tried the child's nostrils with his fingers and found that there was still air.
Zhu Chongba pinched the child's philtrum with his fingers, and then pressed other acupuncture points. After a while, the child opened his eyes, glanced at Zhu Chongba, and suddenly cried "Wow" .
When Zhu Chongba saw that the child was okay, he felt relieved. He stood up and stood in front of the begging child, glaring at Butcher Zhang angrily.
He cursed in his heart that these people who are rich and unkind will definitely not be able to spare them when he takes over the world.
Little did this Butcher Zhang know that the founder of the Ming Dynasty would see him hurting someone for no reason today. Not only would his life be difficult thirty years later, but so would the life of his descendants.
Zhu Chongba had a feeling of empathy for this little kid begging for food. He seemed to see him begging for food.
"Butcher Zhang, why are you so arrogant? The person who just spoke to you was Shen Dashan, didn't you know?" someone next to him said.
"What a bullshit kind person. Anyway, he didn't give me a penny. I don't know him as a kind person." Butcher Zhang then looked at Zhu Chongba and said, "Where did you come from, little turtle grandson? Look at how you look." He looks like a bear, not to mention that he looks a lot like this beggar. Take this child away from my door quickly, otherwise, I will let the dog bite him."
This week Zhouzhuang left a bad impression on Zhu Chongba, and Shen Wansan was also implicated.
Zhu Chongba already wanted to leave Zhouzhuang at this time. He thought that asking for help from others would be better than asking for help from himself. Although it would be slow and difficult to do it on his own, it was not satisfying.
Shen Wansan has now walked to the door of Butcher Zhang's house. He was also very angry today. No one has ever contradicted him like this. "Whoever cleans up Butcher Zhang today, I will give him a gold ingot."
It was a brave man who received a huge reward. Many people gathered around him and beat Butcher Zhang violently.
Butcher Zhang shouted, "Don't fight! Don't fight! I have something to say."
The others stopped to see what Butcher Zhang had to say. "Shen Dashan, is it true that you just said you would be rewarded with a gold ingot?"
"Of course, we have a lot of money, and we always talk like nothing but a nail." Shen Wansan said.
After listening to what Shen Wansan said, Zhu Chongba couldn't help but listen to it.
"Then if I clean myself up, will you give me money?" Butcher Zhang asked.
When the people nearby heard this, they were all speechless. The street suddenly became quiet. If a pin dropped on the ground at this time, you would probably hear it.
It was Zhu Chongba who spoke first, "It's true that a person has no face, a tree has no bark, and it's difficult to cure. You really know how to think."
After hearing this, the person next to him reacted, "Hit him! You must hit him in the mouth! And his face. This kind of person is really annoying."
Shen Wansan laughed angrily at this time, "There are still shameless people like you in the world. Remember this and move away from here immediately. Otherwise, I will beat you once I see you. You should believe it." I must have the financial resources!"
"I believe it! I believe it! Move out immediately! Liu will move out today!" Butcher Zhang rolled into his own house and crawled.
As soon as everyone saw Butcher Zhang entering the house, they felt that nothing happened and they were about to leave.
Shen Wansan shouted: "Don't leave, everyone. The man who beat up Butcher Zhang just now went to my house to collect the reward. There are many people, so I will have someone separate the gold ingots for you."
"Shen Dashan, you usually take good care of us, why do you have the nerve to take your money again? I've wanted to deal with this butcher for a long time."
"Yes! If Shen Dashan hadn't come forward this time, none of us would have dared to hit this guy."
"Shen Dashan, let's go."
