I do beauty in Jianghu

Chapter 5 5. The Money Is Lost

On the way back, I passed by a restaurant, and the tempting aroma of the food came out. Bai Muxi excitedly held 30 taels of silver and wanted to treat Qi Ming to eat braised pork.

The two walked towards the restaurant, just when they reached the door, they saw a group of young people swarming out of the restaurant, making a lot of noise. Knock him away, and then walk away.

Bai Muxi always had a good temper towards these gangsters, and when he was bumped, he just rubbed his shoulders, which didn't affect his mood. He dragged the listless Qi Ming in excitedly, and the waiter at the door immediately greeted him.

Having just made her first pot of gold, Bai Muxi was in a very happy mood. She ordered several big dishes and a pot of good wine in one go, to reward herself who has worked so hard recently.

Xiao Er finished memorizing the menu, glanced at Bai Muxi, and kindly reminded Bai Muxi: "I'm afraid this table will cost more than ten taels, you two, see if there are too many dishes?"

Bai Muxi waved his hand boldly: "Not too much, not too much, I can eat very much, don't worry."

Xiao Er glanced at him again, with a complicated expression on his face, said yes, and went to report the menu.

Bai Muxi rubbed his hands happily, it has been more than half a year since he ate meat last time, so it can be regarded as meaty.

On the contrary, Qi Ming lacked interest, so he leaned on the armchair and closed his eyes to rest.

After a while, a table full of sumptuous dishes was served, and Bai Muxi's mouth was watering. After greeting Qi Ming, he picked up chopsticks to eat.

This restaurant is often visited by ordinary people. The dishes are heavy in salt and oil, and the taste is average. It tastes like chewing wax in Qi Ming's mouth. It's not as refreshing as Bai Muxi's fried dishes at home, so he put down his chopsticks after a few mouthfuls , A large table of meat and vegetables was thrown to Bai Muxi.

Bai Muxi didn't bother to care whether he was tasty or not, a good meal was rare, so naturally he wanted to have a hearty meal.

Although he is small, he has a big appetite. At first, Qi Ming thought he wouldn't be able to eat much, but Qi Ming was gradually surprised when he saw the plate after plate of meat and vegetables.

Bai Muxi ate up this table of meat dishes, and there were only two or three matching vegetarian dishes left.

Qi Ming was almost in admiration for him at this moment.

Really unbelievable.

Bai Muxi ate and drank enough, hugged her belly and wiped her mouth, feeling that this was the happiest moment in her life.

It's a pity that before his sense of happiness lasted for a while, when paying the bill, Bai Muxi touched his pocket, and his heart was suddenly empty.

Ms. Liu has saved money for many years, most of which are scraps of silver. No matter how you feel it now, it looks like big chunks.

He hurriedly opened his pocket to take a look, and saw that the silver in the pocket turned into a pile of stones at some point.

Even the color of the pockets is different from what I wear when I go out.

Bai Muxi stood in front of the counter with a pale face for a while before realizing that she was probably stolen.

The shopkeeper and the waiter who were waiting for him to pay the bill all looked unspeakable.

Bai Muxi stared blankly at his pocket, unable to say what he was feeling for a moment, looked up and saw the shopkeeper was still waiting for him to pay the bill, opened his mouth, and finally said in a mosquito-like voice: "I, can I take credit first... "

After he finished speaking, his face turned from pale to crimson.

The shopkeeper looked at him with a complicated expression for a while, then nodded: "Sure, let me remember it for you first."

Bai Muxi: "Thank you shopkeeper, I will, I will return it as soon as possible."

Bai Muxi left the restaurant in a daze, only to remember to turn around and ask Qi Ming, "Did you see my pocket being dropped by someone before?"

Qi Ming was silent for a while, then shook his head, his thoughts were elsewhere all the way, so he really didn't pay attention to this.

Bai Muxi stood blankly on the busy street, suddenly felt out of breath.

Does God want to play such a joke on him?

Is it because I am too complacent that I will be punished immediately?

Seeing Bai Muxi's strange expression, Qi Ming frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong.

When he was thinking about how to comfort him, the waiter from the restaurant sneaked up and after looking around, he approached Bai Muxi and said in a low voice, "Let me tell you something, you, don't blame me."

Bai Muxi was trying his best to suppress his emotions that were about to collapse, and nodded vigorously at him: "It's okay, just tell me."

Xiao Er scratched his head, with a look of shame on his face: "Your pocket should have been dropped when you bumped into the group of young people when you entered the door."

Bai Muxi was taken aback.

"They are well-known gangsters in this area. Their hands and feet are not clean. I, I didn't dare to tell you at the time, I was afraid that they would trouble me. I am a part-time job, and I can't afford to provoke them."

Upon hearing this, Bai Muxi's original thought of where to throw it was completely dead, and his whole heart was so cold that he dared to provoke those gangsters. Throwing money is a small matter, and if he provoked them, he might even Unable to save his life, he bid farewell to Xiaoer and walked home in a daze.

Qi Ming looked at his dazed back, and asked Xiao Er one more question.

"Where do those people live, do you know?"

Bai Muxi walked home in a daze, saw the stone that Qi Ming moved to the yard, climbed up, sat cross-legged on the stone, and stared blankly at the peach tree in the yard.

He felt severe chest tightness, nausea, flustered and sweating, and had to pant hard to maintain normal breathing.

This feeling is like being punched out of thin air, and the pain is dizzy but there is no way to vent it.

Sitting quietly for a while, Bai Muxi suddenly beat his chest frantically, as if he wanted to blow away the stagnant air in his chest, and then his rationality began to brainwash himself continuously.

It doesn't matter, it's just 30 taels of silver, and you can make money if you lose it.

Make more money.

Earning more is...

Make more... make more... make more...

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" He gave up, then limped to the well, fetched a bucket of water with a wheeze, and plunged into it. The cold well water instantly woke up his boiling brain.

Bai Muxi collapsed powerlessly to the ground, and finally calmed down.

There are ups and downs in life, great joy and great sorrow, but that's all, just get used to it, just get used to it.

He was paralyzed for a while, and got up resignedly to go back to the house to change clothes.

As a result, after walking around the room, Bai Muxi suddenly found that Qi Ming was gone!

……

In a thatched hut, three or eight bastards with non-local accents gathered together, one of them threw the heavy money bag on the table, and talked happily about his glorious deeds.

"As soon as I walked out of the courtyard gate, I saw him coming out of Liu's house with such a big pocket in his pocket, I thought to myself, this is all right, brothers will have food money tomorrow."

"I just picked up a bag of stones from the ground and followed him around the path. When I heard that he was discussing with the person next to me that he wanted to come to the restaurant for dinner, I hurried in. I happened to bump into you, so I went to fish along the way. gone."

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Fifth, you're so treacherous. I said why did you sneak into us in such a hurry, and deliberately bumped into that little boy when you went out. So you already have a hand! Hahahaha!"

"Come on, come on, let me count the money."

The money bag was untied, and a large piece of broken silver fell out, and everyone roughly counted it, a total of 30 taels of silver.

Someone stared dumbfounded at the broken silver on the table, "Sure, boy, this is not only the money for tomorrow's meal, but also the money for half a month's meal."

The eyes of the old fifth who stole the money bag were shining, but the corners of his mouth were very disdainful, "What's the matter, isn't it just half a month's food money, wait for my brother to find out where the little boy's house is, and give the next half month's food money too You guys come out."

"Brothers!"

"Hey, I see that little boy with a pretty face, the fifth one is trying to get a kick out of it."

"No problem, wrap it on me."

"it is good!"

"Old Wu is loyal enough!"

When everyone was clamoring to hold the fifth child to the sky, suddenly a gloomy voice interrupted.

"How difficult is it to pay for food for half a month? I have food money for a lifetime here, do you want it?"

Everyone was stunned, and hurriedly turned their heads, and saw that there was someone more at the door at some point, looking at them calmly with arms folded.

The fifth one recognized this person as Bai Muxi's companion during the day, and immediately shrank his neck, but the brothers around him, relying on the large number of people and the fact that they were not afraid of Qi Ming's sudden visit, all rolled up their sleeves aggressively walked towards him.

"Food money for a lifetime? You kid is wearing tattered clothes, and your tone is not small!"

Qi Ming said indifferently: "I am not speaking loudly, but my hands are a bit heavy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people who rushed to the front saw something flashing in front of them. They didn't even have time to shout, so they fell down clutching their necks in pain.

"Damn it! Go!"

Seeing their companions fall, the gangsters were furious and rushed towards Qi Ming one after another. In the blink of an eye, they fell to the ground one by one clutching their necks, writhing in pain, but unable to make a sound.

"I'm not a person who likes to hear people yelling, don't mind."

Qi Ming kicked away the person at his feet, shook his wrist that was still hurting from exertion, and walked towards the table as if nothing had happened. Holding the untied money bag, he slowly picked up the broken silver scattered on the table. Little by little, I picked it up in the purse.

Lao Wu, a thief who was stealing chickens and dogs, naturally didn't have the courage to go forward, shivering in the corner of the wall.

After Qi Ming cleaned up the money, he tied the money bag around his waist, then came to the fifth child and squatted down, looking at him: "You just said, you want to have sex?"

The fifth child shook his head frantically.

Qi Ming scratched his ears: "I heard it with my own ears."

The fifth child frightened: "That's what they said, I, I just pretended to promise them for the sake of face, I'm a thief, I, I dare not do such a thing."

Qi Ming nodded, believing it, so he stretched out a hand, bent his fingers, and motioned for the fifth brother to shake hands.

The fifth child was a little dazed, Qi Ming's expression and tone were calm, but it made his back tremble and shudder, so he could only stretch out his hand obediently and hold Qi Ming's hand.

The next moment, Qi Ming suddenly gathered his five fingers together and snapped them upwards!

The fifth child's eyes widened in an instant, and before he could yell out with his mouth wide open, Qi Ming hit his neck with a knife until he lost his voice, and then rolled crazily on the ground clutching his broken right hand.

Qi Ming felt dizzy after squatting for a long time, stood up slowly, looked coldly at the trash on the ground, turned around and left the courtyard.
