Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 28: Eating More Does Not Necessarily Make You Grow Tall
A pot of wine, a plate of peanuts and two plates of beef were placed on the table, and the owner went to do other things.
Li Si poured himself a glass of wine, while Bai Yaoer took a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder and started eating beef. She seemed to have thought of something, and she looked at Li Si and asked.
"How much money do we have left?"
During this period, she had a deep understanding of Li Si's poverty. When he had money, he spent it lavishly, but every now and then he would run out of money.
However, Li Si's way of making money was quite special. He would just find someone who was following him nearby to "borrow" some money, and then he would have money again.
This made her a little envious. If she had Li Si's skills, she would not have fainted from hunger when she was chasing Li Si.
"Probably still twenty taels left." Li Sihun said nonchalantly while drinking.
Twenty taels, if used by two people, should not last long.
Bai Yaoer supported her chin with a headache. She didn't want to sleep on the roof with Li Si again. It was so cold and there wasn't even a bed or quilt.
Thinking of this, she complained while eating her beef.
"Why are there so few people following you recently? Are you no longer valuable?"
I would rather I were worthless.
The corner of Li Si's eye twitched and he glanced at Bai Yaoer.
"If there really is no one chasing you, I will be the first to leave you here to fend for yourself."
You have to know that most of the money during this period was spent by this girl.
I don't know how her parents raised her. She was such a picky eater and ate a lot. One meal would often cost her one or two taels of silver. How could she not die of bloating?
"A little." Bai Yaoer stuck out her tongue at Li Si, stuffed another piece of meat into her mouth, and chewed it viciously.
I still have a bad temper.
Li Si turned away his eyes with a gloomy face. Fortunately, he had no children in his previous life, otherwise he would be so angry to death if he had a child like this.
The two of them were eating by themselves.
By the time Li Si finished eating the peanuts, Bai Yaoer had finished eating the beef.
"Gu." Holding her stomach which was obviously not full, Bai Yaoer secretly looked at Li Si's plate of beef and swallowed her saliva.
Naturally, her little action did not escape Li Si's eyes.
He shook his head helplessly, pushed his beef in front of Bai Yaoer, and said with a sigh.
"Here you go."
"Hey, thank you." Bai Yaoer took the beef without any embarrassment and started eating with a smile.
In her words, she is at the stage of growing up and should eat more.
However, even though she ate so much, Li Si didn't see any growth on her.
The places that should be small are still small, and the places that should be flat are still flat.
Of course, Li Si couldn't possibly say this, otherwise he would be really afraid that this fortune-telling girl would cast a death curse on him.
…
After dinner, the two strolled on the streets of Suzhou city.
Li Si was a fast walker and he took Bai Yaoer with him, so they arrived here many days earlier than expected.
These extra few days have allowed them to travel around the city of Suzhou. If nothing unexpected happens, after staying for a few more days, Li Si will be ready to set off for Jinshan Temple.
"Li Si." Bai Yaoer suddenly said as she walked beside Li Si on the street.
"After going to Jinshan Temple, are you going to Wudang Mountain?"
"Yes." Li Si nodded. This was the itinerary arrangement.
"After Wudang Mountain, where will you go?" Bai Yaoer asked again.
"Hmm..." Li Si raised his head and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Who knows, I'll just go wherever I go, or maybe I'll find a place to hide for a while."
It doesn't make sense to have people chasing you like this all the time.
"Oh, I see." Bai Yaoer said with her hands behind her back. She didn't know why she asked Li Si where he wanted to go next.
And what about her, where will she go after that?
She doesn't know either.
It seemed like she had nowhere to go.
At this time, the two saw a woman kneeling and crying on the side of the road.
There was a sign in front of her, and it looked like she was preparing to sell herself as a servant.
As to why, no one knows, and no one asks.
Nowadays, although people's lives have improved a lot, such people are still uncommon.
Bai Yaoer secretly glanced at Li Si beside her. She knew that this man was probably going to meddle in other people's business again.
Li Si likes to meddle in other people's affairs, which is another habit of his that she has learned about during this period.
Maybe it's because he is too idle, so he always looks for things to do.
Sure enough, the next moment Li Si walked up.
He walked up to the woman, patted her on the shoulder, said something like to comfort her, and then walked back.
In the eyes of others, he seemed to have done nothing.
But Bai Yaoer asked without thinking about his action.
"How much did you give her?"
Li Si smiled awkwardly and held up two fingers.
"Twenty taels."
"I've given you all." Bai Yaoer opened her mouth: "Then where are we going to sleep tonight?"
"Uh." Li Si scratched his hair awkwardly, and after a while, he pointed to a roof and said.
"How about we stay there for one night?"
Bai Yaoer pulled his mouth dryly.
It seems that I won’t be able to sleep well tonight.
"Haha, okay, okay." Li Si smiled and patted her shoulder.
"Don't think about it. I still have a few copper coins left. How about I treat you to some candied haws?"
As he said this, he walked towards a vendor selling candied haws.
In the crowd, Bai Yaoer looked at Li Si, then at the woman on the street .
At this time, the woman had already discovered that there was an extra purse around her waist, and she was so surprised that she didn't know what to say.
Maybe, this is what he does when he helps himself.
If you are nosy, just help me.
Bai Yaoer thought about it, raised her eyebrows, and smiled with an indescribable expression.
Not far away, Li Si had already bought the candied haws and turned around to wave at Bai Yaoer who was still standing there.
"Hey, Bai girl, what are you doing standing there like an idiot?"
"I've told you so many times, don't call me a girl!"
Bai Yaoer bared her teeth and cursed at Li Si, but still walked over.
No matter how unhappy you are, you still have to eat.
At night, the two men who had lost their money slept on the roof of a house as expected.
Baiyaoer was still too cold to sleep. After all, it was not summer yet, and spring nights were sometimes colder than autumn ones.
Just as Bai Yaoer was shivering from the cold, Li Si took off his newly bought coat and threw it on her.
"If you're cold, just tell me. If you keep silent, I'll have to spend money to buy you medicine if you get frozen."
I have to say, this coat is quite warm. It was still a little warm after I took it off Li Si .
Baiyaoer covered herself with clothes, so it wasn't that cold anymore.
With her back to Li Si, she said nothing, but just wrapped her clothes around herself, slightly absent-minded, and then gradually fell asleep.
There is a rare peace in this night.
