After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy

Juggling is about skills and playing with human lives. It is a trick used by poor people who make a living to make money at the cost of their lives.

A boy of about ten and a younger girl lifted a large stone slab. The man then lay down under it, while the older boy spat and rubbed his hands, then swung the hammer next to him.

The boy shouted, "The stone is crushing my chest. Everyone, please stay away so that the stone won't hit anyone!"

After saying that, he swung the sledgehammer down, breaking the stone slab, and the man's face turned red.

"well!"

The people around cheered and applauded.

The girl came over with a tray to collect money, but only a few people paid, and most people just kept their hands clasped and didn't move.

When they got to Ye Xunqing and the others, the girl didn't even give them a few coins.

She mustered up the courage to say, "Pretty, kind brother, please give me a copper."

Feng Jingheng untied the bag and took out the copper coins. Ye Xunqing reached out and took a few more coins, saying, "I think you have some good roasted persimmons over there. Sell them to me."

The girl was a little embarrassed, "That's for food..."

Ye Xunqing bent down and spoke to her, "Little sister, eating persimmons without a meal will cause kidney stones and stomachaches. Don't eat persimmons on an empty stomach in the future." Then, while putting the copper coins in, he quietly slipped her a piece of silver and said, "Take it, buy some more hot steamed buns for your family."

The girl was very surprised, "No, no."

Ye Xunqing held her hand and said, "Go, bring me the persimmons."

The girl's eyes were red as she went to the back to get persimmons, then opened the tent and went inside. Ye Xunqing saw a pale woman sitting there, who seemed to be sick.

This should be a family. The woman is sick, and the man brings the child out to perform.

The girl took out a lot of persimmons and said she was going to give them to Ye Xunqing, so Ye Xunqing accepted them.

They continued to stay and watch. The man with the stone broken on his chest had already gone down. He rubbed his chest, probably because he was injured.

The guy who had been carrying the stone slab came up to replace him. He was very thin, with long limbs and surprisingly bright eyes.

I saw him standing on the rolling log with four very long chopsticks in his hands, and then his brothers threw plates onto it.

Ye Xunqing had only seen this kind of acrobatics on TV, but being there himself still felt magical. How could the plates not fall? If he went up there, he would definitely drop dozens of plates.

The girl came to collect money again, but this time she skipped Ye Xunqing and just bowed to him.

Ye Xunqing smiled without saying anything. This little girl was a down-to-earth person. She had just taken his money and now she didn't want it back. If she were a greedy person, she would probably take advantage of this opportunity to fleece her.

The young man added two more chopsticks to his hand, and now he has six chopsticks in total. There is also a plate on the chopsticks, and the rolling log is still under his feet.

He walked around in a circle, saying, "Those with money can show their support with money, and those with connections can show their support with their presence."

"It's so hard." Mo Yuyan's eyes were red. He had seen it before when he was in Kyoto, but he was still young at that time and only thought it was fun, not the hard work behind it.

Now that he has grown up and experienced so much, he feels sad when he looks back at these things. If Ye Xunqing hadn't brought him home, he would probably be worse than these street performers.

Ye Xunqing gave him a handful of copper coins and said, "Give it to the girl when she comes."

Mo Yuyan nodded with tears in her eyes, "Yes, thank you, brother."

Liu Xiaojing has little experience. She only knows how to have fun and work hard. Who doesn't work hard? How can you make money without working hard?

The girl came over to collect the money again. Mo Yuyan gave a handful of copper coins, and Liu Xiaojing also gave two. She gave them because she thought it was pretty. Ye Xunqing had taught her not to eat for free.

The little girl thanked them repeatedly, and at this moment, the boy carrying the plate suddenly fell down.

"Be careful!" Ye Xunqing reacted quickly and rushed into the circle to catch him.

All the plates that the boy was holding up were broken.

"Oh, it fell down, it fell down!" A little fat man clapped in the crowd, holding a slingshot and a stone in his hands.

The boy covered his leg and said, "Someone hit my leg."

When he lifted up his pants, he saw that his calf was purple, which showed how much strength he had used.

The little boy's brother was very angry and rushed into the crowd to pull the fat boy out, but he didn't expect that the fat boy had someone with him.

Feng Jingheng carried Ye Xunbai to Ye Xunqing and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Xunqing was also very angry, "That idiot hit him in the leg with a slingshot."

"Erzi, Erzi, are you okay?" The woman came out of the tattered tent, still wearing her coat. "Erzi, did you fall?"

"I'm fine, mother." The second son forced a smile.

Over there, Erzi's elder brother had already found the person. He grabbed the servant who was carrying the fat boy and angrily said, "You can't leave!"

The little fat man sneered: "Hey, he fell down by himself, he is so bad."

"You're talking nonsense! You were the one who hit him with the slingshot." Mo Yuyan rushed forward. "His legs were bruised."

The little fat man started to lie, "I didn't, I didn't hit him, did anyone see it?"

"You're holding a slingshot and a stone. Who else could it be but you?" Liu Xiaojing said, hands on his hips. "Hurry up and pay for the child's medical treatment!"

"I won't give it to you. If you have the guts, go to my house and ask for it!" said the little fat man with a smile.

His servant added, "This is the young master of Captain Li, the captain of Yuanzhou City Gate. Do you dare to touch him?"

The people do not fight with the officials. No matter how small the official is, ordinary people cannot afford to offend him. Moreover, the captain of the city gate is not a small official.

The juggler family fell silent. The woman held her child in her arms, feeling distressed, while the man just felt bad that he had no skills.

The little girl shouted, "You bully my brother, you are bad people!"

Her mother immediately pulled her back and told her not to shout.

The servant who followed the fat boy started to bully others. He taunted, "Let alone hitting his leg, even if you beat him to death, our young master will be fine."

Ye Xunqing said in a deep voice, "Is this how your captain manages you? What do you mean it's okay even if you beat someone to death?"

The servant laughed and said, "It's just a worthless life. If it can make our young master smile, then he is of some use."

Ye Xunqing wanted to slap him in the face and smash his mouth, but this was not Yejia Village, this was Yuanzhou City, and any small official who came here could scare them to death.

If Ye Xunqing was alone, he would not be afraid and would just fight and run away, but he also brought Xiaobai and the others with him.

"Go report to the police!" Ye Xunqing said.

If you have any problems, find the police. If there are no police, report to the authorities.

"Officials protect each other!" The man sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it, let it be. We have suffered this loss."

What else could he do? Should he really beat up the young master of the captain's family?
