"Kid!" A shopkeeper suddenly walked out of a wine shop on the street and said, "How about you run an errand for me and I'll give you ten coppers?"
Chujiu looked at the shopkeeper in surprise and pointed at himself in astonishment, "You... called me?"
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Yes! It's not far away. It's right on the street. I'll send you a pot of osmanthus wine. In addition to ten copper coins, I'll also give you these steamed buns. How about that?"
Chujiu was overjoyed and looked at his companions around him.
Both Chu Shi and Shi Ba nodded towards him.
Bai Xiao was still in shock and could not recover.
"Go!"
"Go, Brother Ninth! With this money, we can hire an ox cart!"
Chujiu quickly wiped the sweat from his hands on his clothes.
He stepped forward to take the copper coins and steamed buns from the shopkeeper, and then picked up the pot of osmanthus wine.
"Taoyuan Restaurant on the street, the wine I ordered yesterday, my waiter can't get away now, please come over!" the shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Okay..." Chujiu received "serious wages" for the first time.
I just feel like my whole body is floating.
He gave the buns and ten copper coins to Chu Shi, "You guys eat, then go find a car, and we'll meet at the street."
Chujiu's steps were very fast, and he ran dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.
He glanced back...the shopkeeper had already gone back to work in the wine shop.
Chujiu looked at the wine bottle in his hand... Suddenly, an idea hit him.
"If I sell this jug of wine, it must be more than ten copper coins, right?"
"Maybe it will be enough for us to have a full meal! Those buns are not enough... they are not enough to fill our stomachs."
Chujiu looked at the osmanthus wine in his hand.
"No, no, no...this is my first salary, clean money!"
"If I drink too much, I will be worse than a thief!"
"There are so many children on the street, but he only called me... If I betray this trust, will God let such a good thing happen to me again?"
"I just said... I will never steal again. I can't, I can't drink this pot of wine!"
On the ninth day of the lunar month, heaven and man were at war.
It was more than a quarter of a journey, and it took him two-quarters of an hour to arrive.
It turned out that the person waiting to collect the wine was a female guest in the restaurant.
The female guest officer has a serious face and a tall posture, and is more imposing than the yamen servants in the yamen.
Chujiu didn't dare to look any further, and didn't even dare to ask for the reward she gave her.
When the wine was delivered, he turned around and ran away.
He ran far away, let out a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help but smile on his face, "This is great! I won't steal anymore! I won't steal anymore!"
Fengchun in the restaurant took out the transmission talisman and said, "Ms., the kid has delivered the wine."
Chujiu came to the street, "Wow! Carriage! Can you rent a carriage for ten copper coins?"
Chu Shi happily told him in a low voice, "We are lucky. This uncle is going out of the city and will drop us off on the way."
Chujiu's heart moved, and she asked in a low voice, "Is it true that if we don't become thieves, our luck will also get better?"
When Chu Shi heard this, he was slightly startled, tilting his little head, not knowing what he was thinking.
When the carriage took them to the fork in the road to the village, they got out of the carriage.
After the carriage was far away, they supported Bai Xiao and continued walking towards the village.
Fortunately, the rest of the way is not far.
But when they arrived at the village, they were shocked!
The whole village was empty, not even a person or a chicken was left!
The house was in a mess, but there were a lot of old clothes, tattered bedding, torn shoes and socks left...
"Boss Bai... where are they? Where have they gone?" Chujiu stared, his eyes red, "Where is my little sister?"
Bai Xiao's eyes darkened and he fell to the ground.
"Ouch..." The injuries to his buttocks and legs suddenly woke him up from the pain.
He immediately remembered the words of the man in the prison.
"Did the bandits find them? Did they kidnap them all?" Bai Xiao murmured, "Did I harm them? I brought them out, but I didn't let them live a good life..."
"They were taken back...those who can work can still survive, but those who can't work will only die."
"It was me who harmed them...it was me who harmed them!"
Bai Xiao raised his hand and slapped himself.
The three children, seeing him in despair and blaming himself... all had red eyes, but they didn't know how to persuade him.
Seeing him slap her twice in the face... On the ninth and tenth day of the lunar month, she rushed forward and hugged his hand.
"Boss Bai..."
Bai Xiao knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
Wen Jin rode a horse from far to near, Yue'er sat in front of her.
"Well, Queen Mother, has he already realized his mistake?" Yue'er asked in a low voice.
"Let's take a look." Wen Jin said.
The sound of horse hooves finally brought the frustrated people back to their senses.
Bai Xiaogang heard the sound of horse hooves and his heart tightened, "They are coming back again? You run quickly, I will stop..."
He looked back and saw the mother and daughter.
He panicked and quickly wiped his face with his sleeves.
When he looked back, there were no tears on his face, but his eyes were red and his nose was also red.
"Madam, you were right that day. I did not set a good example for my brothers. I have always prided myself on my ability and would not be caught... I thought that one day, after I lead everyone to stand up, I would quit. !Be an upright person!"
Bai Xiao sniffed... He never expected that he would capsize in the gutter!
You have already succeeded, but you will be knocked unconscious and sent to the government with all your organs still intact?
Moreover, no matter how he analyzed his memories afterwards, he just couldn't remember who knocked him unconscious... He didn't even see the other person's figure, and he was set up by someone.
"Now I know that I was wrong. I am hopeless. I beg my wife to save my brothers." Bai Xiao bowed deeply to the mother and daughter on horseback. "You take them away and raise them as children." Man slaves and boys, give them food and a place to live..."
"Boss Bai! We won't leave, we want to stay with you!" shouted on the ninth and tenth day.
Bai Xiao touched their heads, "I have to go find them! They are implicated by me, I can't leave them alone!"
"I think so too," Wen Jin said, "They are still young and have some bad habits. Maybe they can change them. If they follow you, they will not have a good future. Maybe they will have to spend time in prison in the future."
"Since you are willing to give them another way to make a living, you can save me the trouble of talking."
"Let's go!" Yue'er waved to them, "My yard is big. I have a place to live and plenty to eat. As long as your hands and feet are clean, you won't have to worry about food and drink."
Bai Xiao took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and tensed up.
There was both shame and anger in his eyes, but also gratitude.
"No, we can't leave Boss Bai alone! We have to go together!" The three children grabbed him by the corners of his clothes.
Wen Jin shook his head, "There is no room for him in my family."
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice came to Wen Jin's ear, "Congratulations to Wen Jin, for passing the 'contentment and happiness' test. Everyone who can be saved is one, and those who cannot be saved, just let them fend for themselves! People are not saviors, precious In contentment.”
"By the way, I can also torture him, and I am one step closer to being reborn as Xiao Yuchen! This is contentment!"
This time, the parchment on my chest was particularly warm, and the words were explained very clearly.
"This madam and young lady are both kind people..." Bai Xiao stared at Wen Jin and spoke slowly.
