Chapter 906 Picking up someone again
He didn't understand why someone would give up his good life and become a beggar.
Zhou Guo put one hand behind his back and fanned himself with the other, looking at the beggars in the alley without moving.
These are six little beggars, about eleven or twelve years old, similar to the fat guy. They sit on the ground, gnawing on a bone one by one. They chew the bone several times in their mouths and throw it away when it has no taste.
Then a big one bent down and picked up a piece of cake from the ground. After comparing it again and again, he broke off a piece of about the same for each person.
She noticed that he had left the smallest one for himself.
Before they could stuff the biscuits into their mouths, a head suddenly popped out from the opposite alley, pointed at them and said, "Over there, over there, these little thieves are right there!"
Several people were startled, stuffed the cakes in their hands into their mouths, stood up and tried to run away.
But this end was also blocked.
A group of teenage young men in silk and satin clothes came over and looked at them without saying a word.
The servants stood guard beside them, pointing at the few people and saying arrogantly: "Where did you come from, you little beggars, to dare to steal our master's things? Hand over the things quickly if you know what's best for you, otherwise, hehe, you will die here today!"
A servant whipped out a whip and swung it, "You don't want to give it to me, right?"
Zhou Guo put away his fan, put his hands behind his back and tried to see what was going on.
Several little beggars looked pale and trembling.
The one who seemed to be the biggest protected them all behind him and said firmly, "We didn't steal it, we just picked it up. Why do you say it was dropped by you?"
The servant said contemptuously, "Humph, this street belongs to our young master. Not to mention the things dropped on the street, even the grass and stones on it belong to our young master. Who are you to dare to pick them up? If you break or dirty them, you won't be able to pay for it even if you have ten lives."
Zhou Guo narrowed his eyes. This was too much.
A young man said: "Why bother talking to them? Beat them up!"
Before the whip was applied, the oldest one gritted his teeth, rushed forward, and pushed the servant, causing him to somersault.
"Hey, you little bastard, you are so rebellious that you dare to push me, your grandfather. If I don't teach you a lesson, I'm not your grandfather!"
Now several servants came together. There was no comparison in terms of physical strength between those who were well fed and those who had not eaten enough for years. There were more people on this side, so there was no way a few of them could win.
Even though they fought back with all their might, they were still severely beaten with punches, kicks and whips.
Zhou Guo squeezed forward, picked up a few servants and threw them out one by one, like throwing carrots.
"Hey, where are you from? I'm warning you, stop meddling in other people's business. Do you know who he is?" The young masters and brothers behind saw that the servants had all been thrown out and were unwilling to do it, but they did not dare to step forward.
Zhou Guo turned around and said with a smile: "Oh, tell me, who is this?"
"You..." Before the child could finish his words, the leader looked at Zhou Guo and turned away. Seeing this, the others hurriedly followed, not understanding why they left without saying a word.
Zhou Guo recognized that it seemed to be a child of the Liu family. He seemed to have seen him from a distance, and when he looked at the boy's clothes, he was undoubtedly from the Liu family.
Shaking his head, he was indeed a rich kid.
Several little beggars had blood all over their faces, and no one knew where the blood came from.
The older one got up and took the lead in kowtowing to Zhou Guo. Several people kept saying, "Thank you, benefactor, thank you, benefactor."
Zhou Guo said: "Get up, are you willing to come with me? I will find you a job."
Several people looked up in disbelief. After a while, they saw that he didn't seem to be lying, and nodded ecstatically, "We are willing. We are willing."
Zhou Guo nodded, "Get up, I'll take you to see a doctor."
Fortunately, the injuries were not serious, just some superficial injuries, which could be healed by applying some medicine. After all, Zhou Guo acted quickly.
After the injury was treated and they came out of the pharmacy, the older one spread out his palm in front of Zhou Guo.
Zhou Guo looked down and saw that it was a jade ring. He didn't take it and asked, "Is this what you picked up?"
Several people nodded, "We found it, we didn't steal it."
Zhou Guo picked it up and took a look. The quality was not very good. These people were bored and had nothing to do, so they came to look for this thing.
He also said to him: "Since you picked this up, it is naturally yours. You can take it yourself."
I took them to a small restaurant and ordered a table of food for them. By the time a group of people came out, it was already dark.
She took them back.
Er Pang came out of the house and saw the beggars behind her. He looked at Zhou Guo and said, "Master, where did you pick this up?"
The little beggars lowered their heads.
Zhou Guo glanced at them and said, "Find them some clothes and let them go back to Song County tomorrow. Then take them back to the village."
A child this young still needs to be taken home to learn to read for two years and work for a few years before he can come out.
Er Pang said yes and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
Zhou Guo nodded, "I took them to eat."
Erpang brought the person in.
Zhou Guo fanned herself, turned on her heels, and left again. She hardly touched the food on the table. She hadn't been to Baoyue Tower for a long time, so she went there to have a meal.
I originally wanted to stroll around the street by myself, but I encountered some setbacks and delayed my trip.
However, it's just right now as the lights are coming on.
The streets of Yunzhou are much more lively than those of Chengding and Huaiyang. If you don’t know, you might think this is the place where the emperor lives. Of course, she has never been to the place where the emperor lives, so she has never seen what it looks like.
He staggered into the Baoyue Tower.
The waiter in the building came up to her and when he saw her, he immediately said happily, "Sir, you haven't been here for a long time. How come you are free today?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I'm passing by and want to come in and take a look. Give me a seat by the window and serve some good food and wine."
"Okay, sir, please go upstairs. There is a good seat."
Zhou Guo looked at the lobby. At this moment, 60% of the restaurant was occupied by customers. If it was the crab season, the restaurant would be almost 80% occupied by customers at this time.
She staggered up the stairs.
Not long after we sat down, the fat shopkeeper Yang came.
As soon as he saw her, he smiled and said, "Sir, you are a rare guest. It was a long time ago that you last came."
Looking at Zhou Guo, he felt emotional. He thought back to when she first came to him, he had just had enough to eat. It has only been a few years, but he already has to look up at her.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Boss, please sit down and let's have a drink."
Shopkeeper Yang sat down with a smile on his face, which became more sincere. He asked casually, "What have you been busy with recently, young master?"
Zhou Guo said: "Busy farming."
Shopkeeper Yang paused while pouring tea, "Young Master, you still like to joke around. Do you still need to farm the land yourself?"
"I have to eat. You know my family doesn't have much land and a poor foundation. How can I eat if I don't grow crops?" Zhou Guo looked at him with a smile. "How is the business of Baoyue Tower these days?"
Shopkeeper Yang looked at her smile and said cautiously, "Very good."
Zhou Guo nodded, "That's good."
He looked around and said, "At the beginning of autumn, the tables in the building should be full by now, right?"
