Volume 2, Chapter 301: Trick

Could it be that he sold his body to bury his father again?

Dong Shi said: "I'll go take a look. You guys have chosen the dishes."

In this winter, this cart of vegetables and fruits is worth a lot of money.

He stood on tiptoe from behind the crowd and looked in, and saw a little boy about ten years old kneeling there. He was dressed in rags and was black and thin with only a piece of skin left. He kowtowed to the people around him, crying and crying.

Please, it turns out to be the accent from my hometown.

After escaping from the wilderness and settling down in a foreign country, my hometown has become a place that I always dream about. When I hear the local accent, I feel even more familiar.

Dongshi asked the person next to him in a low voice: "What's going on? It's in the middle of the road. Isn't it blocking the road?"

The man said: "I heard that there is a grievance in the family. Please help to redress the grievance. I escaped from the famine and settled in a village in a suburban county. The people in the village were xenophobic. My sister was raped by the bullies in the village. She was hit head-on and my parents were beaten to death.

It’s so miserable!”

The boy rushed toward Dong Shi. The person in front of him suddenly dodged, and Dong Shi at the back didn't have time to hide.

The boy stretched out his hand to him, "Good man, fellow countryman! Save me, help me!"

Dongshi covered the purse of money at his waist and jumped away quickly, "I am from the countryside and I can't help you. Since you have grievances, go to the government to beat drums and complain."

The boy cried: "I went, and they said I was a beggar and they took me out! Fellow fellow, I heard that we came from the same place, so please help me, I'm desperate!"

Dongshi nodded, "Okay, I'll help you..."

"Thank you, fellow countryman, thank you very much, fellow countryman. We are really close relatives." The boy kept kowtowing.

"I'll report it to the official for you, and let the official take care of you." After saying that, he turned around and ran away, getting on the mule cart, "Go quickly, go quickly, don't let anyone rely on you."

When Zhou Xian heard this, he whipped his whip and said, "Drive!"

The mule was in pain and ran away wildly.

The boy got up and chased after him. When he saw Dong Shi getting on the mule cart, he stretched out his hand to stop him: "Fellow, fellow!"

Zhou Xian didn't stop, and the mule rushed straight at the boy. The boy still cherished his life. At the last moment, he hurriedly escaped and ran a few steps behind the mule cart, but he could only watch them disappear.

.

After running far away, Zhou Xian asked Dong Shi: "What's going on?"

Dongshi told the story again.

week

.Even if you can’t help, just give me some broken silver.”

Dong Shi said: "I stood at the back of the crowd watching the excitement and asked the people around me softly. There were people talking around me, and he was still crying. Logically speaking, he couldn't hear my voice.

But he said that when he heard the local accent, he recognized his fellow countrymen."

Zhou Xian admired: "Brother Shitou, you are so smart! You can see the flaws in this. If it were me, I would definitely be fooled."

Dong Shi said: "Although it is said that no book can be written without coincidence, but if it is too coincidental, there must be something wrong with it."

The two returned to Dongfu and met Shangguan Ruoli who was picking up some children from school.

Shangguan Ruoli looked at the vegetables in the basket, including leeks, celery, cabbage, lettuce, strawberries, cucumbers, melons, and tomatoes, all of which were juicy and very fresh.

He said with a satisfied smile: "The planting is good. Let's try to make back the cost this winter."

Dongshi was embarrassed to be praised, "Farming is our ancestral craft, it's nothing."

Shangguan Ruoli asked them to divide the things into several portions and send several large baskets to Nanhou Mansion and Shangguan Mansion. The remaining small baskets were given to Dongming Ziyu for his colleagues to taste.

Although many wealthy families in the capital have greenhouses or hot springs to grow vegetables, cucumbers, tomatoes, strawberries, and melons are all new varieties that are not available here.
