You rascal, stop right there!

Chapter 180 If he really doesn't want to, it's useless to force him

Six years passed in the blink of an eye.

Bai Wan once dreamed of using her pen to write about the people's sentiments and convey her thoughts to the ears of God. The reunion with her old friend made her feel as if she were in a different world.

These two people were lucky enough to survive the plague and famine that year.

Because Han Miaoran was a painter at that time and gave the two children a chance to make a living, the brother and sister named themselves after the colors of the paintings.

The eldest brother changed his name to Huang Teng and the younger sister changed her name to Hua Qing. They were sold to a circus to do odd jobs.

However, since Emperor Jiaxing ascended the throne, people's livelihood has not improved much.

Especially in the past year, the heavy taxes and levies have made it impossible for everyone to survive.

They had no choice but to become bandits and repurpose the tools they had used to practice martial arts to scare people and rob them of their money.

However, they usually rob the rich and do not rob the blind, deaf, dumb and disabled. This is the only thing they insist on doing in the evil way.

"You must have suffered a lot!" Bai Wan frowned.

No one knows better than him how much effort it takes to survive with nothing.

Especially, there are two children.

The person on the other side smiled and said, "Didn't you say that today's suffering will pass tomorrow? My sister and I have always remembered it."

"Really? I said that."

Bai Wan's face trembled slightly and he smiled bitterly. He really taught others an incredible way of survival.

If someone else had such an experience, they would probably be filled with hatred and resentment and would never joke with others like this.

He really wanted to know what the two men looked like now, but when he touched them, he discovered that the man in front of him was bald, and the other had less hair, so he covered his head with a turban.

He laughed a little dumbly: "I remember that you were only eight or nine years old at that time. Now one of you has become a taro, and the other has become a winnowing basket."

"Han...Brother Bai, there's no need to say this!" The bald Huang Teng lowered his head in embarrassment.

But this scoundrel seemed to prefer the feel of a bald head, and he just patted the man's head like he was patting a watermelon, touching and tapping it at the same time.

While chatting and laughing, Bai Wan was a little overjoyed and still treated the two of them as the children who were hungry and in danger many years ago.

Sister Hua Qing looked at it and felt as if she had returned to six years ago.

She felt that although the temperament of the person opposite her had changed a little, his face had not changed from many years ago.

But in fact, anyone who is attentive can see that although this person has concealed a lot, he is more sad than happy.

After a long while, Hua Qing finally asked the question that had bothered him for a long time: "Brother Bai said that he would do something that would reach the heavens. Where did he go? Why did he..."

Why are people so blind?

The air around was silent for a long time.

Bai Wan's face turned from blue to pale. He didn't know what to say and suddenly froze on the spot.

"I……"

People who are always good at talking nonsense can't give any reason, because the disputes cannot be explained in a few words.

The Rice and Meat Inn was only an introduction. What really made him present the painting to the late emperor were the piles of bones around him and the punishment of facing the emperor.

Bai Wan raised her head slightly and smiled quietly: "Actually, I went to learn from a Taoist priest, wandering in the void, cultivating immortality and reaching the ears of the gods. I became blind because I revealed the secrets of heaven."

He was acting mysterious and pretentious, as if he was sure that the brother and sister would believe his lies.

I would never tell you that I was seriously injured and unable to take care of myself for two years, and I lost my memory for five years.

However, the more his words sounded like a joke, the more serious and cold Ling Shumo's expression became.

Until, the brother and sister immediately felt sympathy: "So, it seems that Brother Bai has been wronged."

"No." Bai Wan suddenly stood up and knocked his bald head hard. "There is a doctor next to me, and I will be able to see soon. It is not a big price."

This person has the ability to make a hundred jokes.

Even if he can't see, he can still tell lies with great sincerity.

Bai Wan subconsciously tried to find the teacup, but the person opposite was one step too late just as he was about to hand it over, and his hand stopped in mid-air, which was embarrassing.

"A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring. You can't see now. We can take you back to the mountain village to take care of you." Huang Teng said in a trembling voice.

Bai Wan sipped her tea and pointed forward with her fingertips without caring.

"In front of me is a plate of tea, on the upper left is a plate of stir-fried wild rice stems, on the right is glutinous rice and lotus root, and in front is a spicy melon."

He smiled again.

"The man sitting on my left is a fisherman. There are fish jumping in his basket. The man on my right is a woodcutter. He just broke some firewood. The wild fruit he was chewing was still sour. He threw it away after eating half of it."

Suddenly, other people in the teahouse couldn't help but look over there. This blind young man, who was clearly blind, spoke clearly.

Everyone looked at him as if they could see what he said, and every word was almost accurate and true.

Then, Bai Wan deliberately took a bite with chopsticks and said with a smile: "God helps those who help themselves. I have never needed anyone to take care of me."

Although he looked tired due to fatigue, he tried to look elegant and graceful, with an intriguing charm.

After hearing these words, Ling Shumo's eyes dimmed and he couldn't help but put down the teacup in a loss of composure, unable to utter a word.

He was really shocked. He felt that an ordinary person could have such poor hearing and perception without knowing when.

Never need anyone to take care of you?

Really, including him...

Huang Teng didn't know what to say for a moment. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Brother, how can there be someone like you!"

Bai Wan immediately knocked on the head of the person opposite him: "I told you not to call me like that, your voice could be my daddy's!"

This was a lesson that was neither painful nor itchy.

The other party finally stopped talking.

He is so open-minded, there is no sign of the pain he experienced in the past.

into the night.

As there was no village in front and no shop behind, they had to sleep in the mountains.

Bai Wan sat in front of the woodpile and chose an excellent position. He started a fire in no time and the wind direction would not affect him from the smoke.

Not only that, this man also took three dice and started guessing the size with his men from the mountain village, laughing and having a lot of fun.

……

"big big big!"

"You're such a coward, you can't even beat a blind man like me!"

"Brother Bai, you are so awesome!"

"That is……"

……

The brother and sister not far away started two fires. Ling Shumo put firewood in them and glanced at the crowd from time to time.

It was dark all around, with only the shadows of people in the mountains disturbing the mind.

Hua Qing looked at the worried look on the face of this young master Feng Hua and couldn't help asking, "Young master, are you a good friend of Brother Bai?"

Ling Shumo remained silent, but the object in his hand became increasingly difficult to hold.

The girl opposite took this as a tacit agreement and sat down directly: "Brother Bai is really talkative. The brothers have never been so happy."

"That's just the kind of person he is." A smile slowly spread across Ling Shumo's lips.

That person is a person who talks a lot of nonsense and claims to be a swindler, but he is also a very loyal and cheerful person.

Not only is he capable of recruiting so many followers, he is also capable of trapping him completely.

Hua Qing held up her chin and paused for a moment: "What a pity, he doesn't want to. Otherwise, I really want to take him to the village to be our leader..."

"If he really doesn't want to do anything, it's useless to force him."

Ling Shumo simply put down the firewood he was fiddling with, but suddenly froze.

Only then did he notice that the man next to the fire was pulling up his collar without any hesitation, exposing most of his neck skin, and he picked up the wine bowl and started smashing it on the ground.

People were immediately shocked and hurried forward.
