Farmhouse Stone Mountain

On the edge of the market in Shangjing Town, there are a few beggars sitting here and there. Pedestrians passing by will occasionally show kindness and throw a few copper coins into the broken bowl of the beggar, but the money that the beggar can get for a whole day is very little. And less.

After a while, a little beggar in the corner put away the copper coins in the broken bowl, wiped the broken bowl, put the broken bowl in his arms, and seemed to be going back.

"Leaving so early today?" asked the beggar next to him. After a while, there will be more people in the market, and the money will be a little more. How come this kid who usually has to wait until dark to call it quits so early today.

The little beggar lowered his head and replied, "Well, go back early, I don't want it today."

A dilapidated temple outside the town, half-covered by the dilapidated wooden door, the little beggar clutched a meat bun in his arms, slipped under the slanted wooden door, and stepped in. Inside, there was a big Buddha standing in the middle, with dust and straw everywhere Yes, the person leaning under the Buddha statue saw him coming back, and smiled with open mouths, "Hey, are you back?"

This person is Shi Shan, with an unknown green grass covered on his right palm, his whole face is bloodless, his clothes are messy, and there are vaguely visible cuts on his body, he looks no different from a beggar.

Seeing Shi Shan, the little beggar smiled shyly, took out the meat buns in his arms, broke them into small pieces and fed them to Shi Shan's mouth. Shi Shan dodged and picked up the buns with his movable left hand and bit Take a bite, and return the rest, "I'm relying on you to feed me now, you eat more, I'm not hungry"

The little beggar took it and hesitated for a while, ate it bite by bite, then stood up and went out for a while, and came back with a handful of green grass, bit it into several pieces with his mouth, put them on a flat stone, and smashed them into a paste , scratched off the medicinal stick on Shi Shan's hand, and reapplied a new one. Afraid of Shi Shan's pain, he blew air on his palm with small mouthfuls.

Shi Shan leaned his head back against the Buddha statue, watching the little beggar applying the medicine seriously, he couldn’t say anything, his hands were already so painful that they were numb, and now he didn’t feel anything at all, and it was so swollen that it was probably going to be useless. When I was in the lake, I bumped into a rock. Without the help of this little beggar, I would have seen Hades long ago.

When the little beggar saw the person by the lake, it took a lot of effort to get him to lie on the bank. He wanted to see if there was anything valuable on the person, so he searched for a piece of clothing along his clothes. Circle, didn't touch anything, just about to stand up and leave, saw that the face covered by the hair looked familiar, pushed the hair sticking to his face, and froze for a moment.

The little beggar himself was full and hungry, and with the addition of Shi Shan, who would not move for a while, the two of them ate even less. After Shi Shan woke up, his whole body ached, his hands hurt, but his head was a pain he had never experienced before. Light, it seems that this body is really his own now.

The two lived in a ruined temple. During the day, the little beggar went out to beg for food. When the meal came, the two of them would share the meal. The person asking for help, Shi Shan went through his mind once, and the first thing that jumped out was He Junzhi's rigid face. Shi Shan shook his head and threw the person out of his mind, and called the little beggar over for a while, "Help me!" Do me a favor, go to a restaurant to find their boss... If they see you as a beggar and drive you out, you can use your own brain to find a way to sneak in, just say: Shi Ji Lou Shi Boss looks for Fu Yi... If you find out If there is danger or something, be smart and run immediately.

----

Shi Shan waited in the ruined temple for a whole day, and the little beggar hadn't come back from morning to evening.

Shi Shan suddenly felt a little frightened and flustered. The Guan family wanted his life. In this crisis, if he let a child go, would he kill a life? It was only a half-old child.

Just when he was fidgeting and struggling to support the Buddha statue to stand up, a person ran in at the gate of the temple with a "da da".

Shi Shan raised his head, his eyes flashed with joy, "Little beggar!"

Immediately behind was Fu Yi with a few servants, and the big rock in Shi Shan's heart fell to the ground with a bang.

Shi Shan had minor injuries, except for his right hand.

The bones of the fingers in the palm of the right hand were dislocated, and after soaking in the cold water for so long, the doctor shook his head with an ugly expression and tried to fix the bones of the hand, saying that it would be very difficult to recover.

When Shi Shan heard this, he stared blankly at his fixed right hand for a moment.

Fu Yi waved the doctor down, unfolded the fan in his hand, and waited for Shi Shan to speak.

"I owe you a favor, but I still want to ask why you want to cooperate with me. The Guan family should be a better choice for you. I'm just a powerless person, why did you ask me?"

Fu Yi laughed after hearing this, and asked, "A better choice? Heh, businessmen are mercenary, the Guan family is, I am even more, and you, Shi Shan, I can see that you are far from being greedy. I am an insatiable person. Naturally, you have to find someone who is not greedy to get more benefits. What's more, things are dead and people are alive. The things in your head are far more valuable than the Guan family... Besides, it is impossible for me to get married with the Guan family. cooperating"

Shi Shan didn't ask Fu Yi why he decided not to cooperate with the Guan family, and said in silence for a moment, "Okay, deal!"

Afterwards, Fu Yi asked a famous doctor to look after Shi Shan's right hand. This doctor was said to have excellent medical skills, so Fu Yi took a lot of thought to invite him over.

After seeing Shi Shan's right hand, the doctor sounded his pulse again, saying that he was going to recover, and he used black jade ointment as medicine, and black jade ointment was purified from black pearls.

Fu Yi frowned when he heard this, "But in the whole world, the black pearls I know, except for the one on the phoenix crown of the queen of the royal family, and the other one has been bestowed by the emperor to a certain minister. It is not easy to get it. Is there anything else? Alternatives?"

The doctor stroked his gray beard, "The curative effect of the substitute is weakened, and it won't achieve the effect after using it. I know there is one there."

----

Ming Lu entered the room with the medicine in his hand, the smell of ink lingered in the room, the word "Jing" had already formed on the paper spread out on the desk, the brush rested on the inkstone, He Junzhi looked up and "Put down the medicine"

"Yes, son, Fu Yi is here."

He Junzhi raised his head, "Please come here"

Fu Yi came in shaking his fan, first he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly, and after seeing the person on the desk who was still writing, he couldn't help but say, "Brother Jun?"

Only then did He Junzhi stop writing.

Fu Yi said with a smile, "Brother Jun is in good health. I'm here today to tell you some news. You don't have to worry about Shi Shan being with me. The Guan family doesn't know anything yet, so they won't let them take advantage of any loopholes." His tone was half a smile but not a smile.

"How is his hand?" His voice was a little hoarse, no wonder he was rescued after soaking in the lake for almost a day.

"It's okay, the doctor you introduced is really good, it's just the medicine with different flavors." Fu Yi kept it off, saw He Junzhi looked over, and continued, "I heard that you have a black pearl. I don't know if you can sell it to me at a high price. Do whatever you want, I will never bargain!"

black Pearl?He Juanzhi frowned and understood, but for what he said to sell at a high price...

"The black pearl is rare and priceless. I will not sell it. You should find someone else."

What?Fu Yi was stunned. Didn't He Junzhi care about Shi Shan? Why is Shi Shan reluctant to part with a pearl now that he is injured? "Brother Jun... what do you mean?"

"I'm tired, Ming Lu, send Young Master Fu out"

Fu Yi didn't understand what He Juanzhi meant until he was asked out of the house. Could it be that he was overthinking all this time?

Shi Shan recuperated for a few days, and when he was able to get out of bed, he planned to go back to Hexi Town, and there was no need to stay in Shangjing Town. As for the black pearl Yaoyin, Fu Yi was already helping him to pay attention, so he still had to rush back to Hexi Town Xizhen, originally expected to come out for only ten days, but now a month is about to pass, and there is no news of him in Hexi Town. I don’t know if there is a disturbance in the store, and since the Guan family can kill him, if he doesn’t go back , I am afraid that something will happen to Shi Jilou.

Fu Yi couldn't figure out what He Junzhi meant now, when he heard that Shi Shan wanted to go back to Hexi Town, he subconsciously agreed.

That afternoon, Shi Shan packed up his things and left, but...

"Little beggar, come here" Ever since he came to Fu Yi's place, the little beggar has stayed by Shi Shan's side to take care of him, helped bring water, changed into a set of clean clothes, and cleaned up. He is a very obedient child, looking at Shi Shan I feel like a little pumpkin.

"I'm going home. My family runs a restaurant... I have a son who is a few years younger than you, and he is very obedient. If you want, you can go back with me as an apprentice to learn crafts. If you don't want to, I will Let someone help you arrange it, and you don’t have to be a beggar anymore.”

The little beggar's only relative died not long ago, and it happened to be the first time the two met. The little beggar went to Guanji to buy bait for his mother who was about to die of illness. Now the child is alone, and Shi Shan said directly, If he doesn't want to, he can ask Fu Yi to help find a family here to take care of him.

The little beggar scratched his head, remained silent for a while, walked up to Shi Shan with small steps, and grabbed his coat corner, "I'll follow you"

Shi Shan was overjoyed, and lowered his body, raised his head with his moving left hand, "Cough, Shi family's family instruction, come on, smile, and show your teeth." He grinned and brushed his white teeth.

The little beggar watched, and it took him a long time to learn how to laugh.

When He Junzhi came to Fu Yi's mansion to see him, Fu Yi spread his hands and said that he just left.

He Juanzhi jumped to nothing, stood where he was and looked straight at Fu Yi, making his scalp tingle.

"Pack up your things and go back to Hexi Town tomorrow"
