Protagonists of this article: Zhang Junsheng, Jiang Qingyue
Five years later, in the year 443 of the Great Yuan Calendar
The summer afternoon is very lazy, the quiet woods are quietly asleep, the green leaves turn into green, and the dense layers of branches and leaves block the sun spitting fire in the sky, forming a shade.
Under the shade of a tree, a twelve-year-old boy was taking a nap comfortably. Look - his black jade-like hair has a faint sheen, his snow-white skin is soft and tender, his facial features are delicate and handsome, his peach blossom eyes are full of innocence; there is a hint of tenderness and delicateness between his pink and waxy lips. The rain -like sweat soaked the thin shirt; the slender and soft figure can only be described as "delicate". As a boy, it is rare in the world.
A trace of light came in along the gap and fluttered on the tender face of the teenager. He slowly opened his eyes, and the light breeze stroked his body, which was very comfortable.
The young man named Zhang Junsheng just sneaked out while the master and old Confucianism were not noticed last night. This was his first time in five years. He missed his father so much and wanted to see his relatives immediately. He didn't believe the nonsense of his master! You can only meet each other at the age of 20, which is clearly a trick to coax children.
Although he can't even remember his father's name, he only remembers the word "dream", and he doesn't even understand his status, but he firmly believes that he will find it and that there will be a day of reunion.
"Guru ~" A hungry voice came from his stomach. Zhang Junsheng yawned and got up and looked around. He didn't know where to go next. In this way, he endured hunger and walked in an unknown direction.
Soon, it was a small town that came into his eyes. He walked on the noisy street, and the bustling crowd made him lose his direction. He didn't know what to do.
"Mother -in -law, I want that cake ~" A little girl on the street begged her mother, and her mother took out a few texts with a smile, which became the wish of girls.
Zhang Junsheng looked at everything and couldn't help but feel envious in his heart. The golden and crispy cakes almost caught the young man's heart.
When the boss saw his look, he thought it was a guest, so he smiled and greeted him: "Child, how many cakes are you going to do?"
"I have no money ..." Zhang Junsheng didn't go over, and he answered.
"No money?" The boss's face changed instantly: "If you don't have money, what are you looking for? Get out of here!"
Zhang Junsheng was not a bullied child. When he saw the boss's unable to look like he was, he sipped his mouth and replied scornfully: "I said uncle, he wouldn't run away for a few glances. What do you do?"
"If you want to buy it, you have to pay for it. If you don't buy it, you are not allowed to look at it!" The boss was very domineering and glared at the young man with eyes like a dead fish.
"Oh, look at it! There was a thief took away the uncle's cake away!" Zhang Junsheng pretended to be nervous and pointed his finger to the crowd behind the boss.
The moment the boss turned around, he picked up a large paper bag of cakes and ran away laughing. Only then did the boss realize that he had been fooled. He was so angry that his face turned red as a monkey's ass. He picked up a pole and chased after him: "You bastard, give me back my cake!"
"Don't pay back yet!" Zhang Junsheng spit his tongue as he ran back, watching the boss's stupid pace, making him laugh.
Zhang Junsheng rushed wildly on the street with the big bag of cakes, and the boss chased him so hard that he was so angry that he almost exploded. "Don't be uncle! For this paper bag cake, don't you even have a booth?"
"Lao Tzu's booth is not needed. Today, I want to kill you, this rabbit!" The boss was panting, tired, the red neck was thick.
When Zhang Junsheng saw that there was an alley at the corner, he drilled into it without hesitation, but soon he regretted it -this is a dead end!
"Huh ... Huh ..." The boss held a flat burden, sweat, and pant with a large mouth: "Rabbit, can you catch me!"
He is trying to find a way to escape, but the wall is too high. For a child, it is a night. Zhang Junsheng was a little panicked: "Can you return the cake back?"
"Bah!" The boss was furious: "If I don't give you a good beating today, it's hard to get rid of my anger!" After saying that, the boss picked up the pole and hit the young man in front of him. Zhang Junsheng hid agily, and the flat burden hit the wall directly.
A merchant with a head of the head passed by and just saw the game of "cat catching mice" in the hutong. Zhang Junsheng came to mind for a while, rushing straight into the arms of the businessman, and asked for grievances: "The bad uncle wants to sell me and save me ..."
"Hey, you are a rabbit!" The boss cried and laughed: "You stole my cake, do you want to beat a rake, right?"
The businessman stroked Zhang Junsheng's head, and saw that the corner of the young man's eyes was slightly moist, his breathing was weak and warm, and his tightly biting his lower lip, which could not help but have the desire to protect him. He couldn't refuse him at all.
"OK?" Zhang Junsheng's pitiful tone was really exciting. The businessman smiled embarrassedly, and took out a few silver from his pocket: "I really can't help it. Let me pay for you for this cake money. Don't do such a thing in the future."
Then he dumped the silver to the boss: "You take these silver, let's let go of this child first in my face."
The boss bit his silver with his teeth, smiled and opened, and ran back with the silver. Zhang Junsheng looked at the boss's stupid back, secretly made a face, and laughed proudly. The businessman sighed helplessly. After learning that Zhang Junsheng was hungry, he led him to a small tavern.
There was a table full of dishes. Zhang Junsheng was so greedy that his mouth watered. When he was about to use his chopsticks, he looked at the merchant to confirm. The merchant nodded and said with a smile: "Eat quickly, I have prepared this for you."
"Thank you, uncle!" Zhang Junsheng was extremely happy and started eating desperately. The businessman took a sip of wine: "My name is Ma Youyi, you call me Uncle Ma."
Zhang Junsheng's mouth was full of food, and he didn't care about answering. The child was hungry. If it wasn't for this meal, I am afraid that he would starve to death.
"I'm talking about you..." Ma Youyi asked tentatively: "You didn't run away from home, right?"
"That's it ..." Zhang Junsheng hesitated.
Ma Youyi smiled, and deliberately teased: "That's great, a beautiful child like you can sell a good price!"
"Huh?" Zhang Junsheng was shocked and hurriedly hid behind the chair: "Don't, Uncle Ma, I will find a way to return you to you, don’t sell me ..."
Ma Youyi saw the nervous expression of the teenager, and couldn't help laughing: "How can you return me?"
Zhang Junsheng tugged at the corner of his clothes, with tears in his eyes: "I...I..."
"In that case, let's repay with our bodies..." Ma Youyi chuckled, his cheeks slightly red from the wine. Zhang Junsheng opened his watery eyes wide and was so frightened that he almost cried. He didn't understand why he always met bad people when he left his master. Not only that, but there were also perverts who had their sights on him. He had already regretted leaving his master without authorization, and now he just wanted someone to save him.
Seeing Zhang Junsheng trembling like a kitten in fear, Ma Youyi continued: "Come here and be my assistant. Help me carry goods and handle chores. I won't let you go until you pay back the money."
"Ah...this?" Zhang Junsheng looked at the man in front of him in disbelief. It turned out that he meant to repay with his body. Ma Youyi smiled with interest: "Look at how nervous you are, what do you think you mean?"
Zhang Junsheng's cheeks were slightly red, he turned away and pouted, refusing to answer. Ma Youyi smiled even more happily: "I'm not interested in children, not to mention you are a boy, hahahahahaha!"
Ma Youyi put on his bamboo hat and said, "You will be my assistant from today on. The first thing you need to do is follow me to the Chamber of Commerce here."
"Chamber of Commerce?"
