Chapter 128 Are You Deliberately Blackmailing Me?
Half an hour later, the old beggar arrived near the braised food shop. He could smell the aroma of the braised food from a distance, but when he saw a long queue in front of the shop door, his stomach growled even louder.
It was impossible to queue up, so he wanted to cut in line.
"Oh, I'm almost starving. Kind young man, please have mercy on an old man like me and give me something to eat!" The old beggar was leaning on a long stick, his legs and feet trembling. He cried and shouted as he avoided the customers in the queue and walked towards the braised food shop. His trembling body seemed like he would fall to the ground and lose consciousness at any time.
A foot suddenly stretched out, blocking his way and almost tripping him.
The old beggar was angry: "You kid..."
The man suddenly shouted and cut in line: "Help, my mother is dying, she wants to have a bite of Ye's braised food before she dies, please let her buy first..."
Before he could finish, a big man yelled at him, "Shut up, your mother is dying, you should just go home and observe mourning. Why are you cutting in line?"
The big man grabbed him by the collar and threw him backwards, then yelled at the old beggar: "If you want to starve to death, go over there and pick up dog shit to eat. Why are you cutting in line? Get out!"
The people in front turned around and mocked the old beggar.
"You want to cut in line? No way!"
"Just now an old man with all his teeth left, and now here comes an old beggar who is almost starving to death. In order to jump the queue to buy braised food, they really use every possible means."
"That's good. I came to line up before dawn yesterday, but when it was almost my turn, a pregnant woman cut in line. She said she was about to give birth and wanted to eat some Ye family braised food before giving birth..."
"You gave in?"
“No.”
"why?"
"I saw this pregnant woman with an Adam's apple, and I kicked her. The pillow in her stomach fell out, and it turned out to be a man."
"In order to buy some braised food, she pretended to be pregnant."
"And there are those who pretend to be blind!"
“There are countless people who pretend to be sick.”
Old beggar: “…”Are all the people in Wutong County so crazy?
"Get out of the way! The carriage is out of control!"
"Help!"
Suddenly there was a commotion.
The people in the queue were so scared that they looked back and saw a carriage rushing towards them not far away. They were so scared that they ran away in all directions.
Lin Chengye's Zhao Sanxi, who were busy in the shop, were frightened, and the two of them immediately abandoned the shop and tried to flee.
"It's over, it's over. The braised food shop is going to be closed. There will be no more food to eat."
"I haven't eaten properly for many days. My braised food!"
The old beggar was in a very bad mood. He was so hungry that his stomach was sticking to his back. He finally found a delicious shop, but was hit by a carriage before he could eat. He was so angry that his body was shaking.
"Don't come over!" The old beggar rushed to the carriage, opened his arms, and tried to control the crazy carriage with brute force.
But he forgot that he had not had enough food in the past few days in order to avoid the assassination, and he was so hungry that he had no strength left.
boom!
Amid everyone's panicked gaze, the old beggar was knocked out by the carriage.
"what!"
"Someone's been killed!" someone screamed.
He Yuanming on the carriage shouted anxiously: "Stop the carriage, help!"
The driver was so anxious that he was sweating profusely: "No! I can't stop!"
The carriage was about to hit the shop.
Two figures came running over, one in front and one behind, pulling the carriage.
The two were dragged by the rapidly moving carriage, their feet almost creating sparks from the friction with the ground.
"Dad, use more force!" Ye Ping'an growled.
Ye Peng grabbed the horse and roared, clenched his teeth, and tried his best.
The out-of-control carriage suddenly slowed down, the horses neighed, and the whole carriage rolled to the side uncontrollably.
With a loud bang, the carriage flipped over and crashed into a roadside stall.
The horse fell to the ground, kicking its limbs wildly. It tried to get up, but fell down again halfway.
The carriage was in tatters. He Yuanming and the driver were thrown out of the carriage. The driver fell in the debris, and He Yuanming was hung on a tree. He suffered major and minor injuries, but fortunately his life was not in danger.
Ye Peng and Ye Ping'an walked out from the back of the carriage. Both father and son had sweat on their faces, but they were not injured.
The braised food shop was also saved.
"Good, good, good job." The people around cheered and gathered around.
Several men came out and restrained the horse.
"Boss Ye, you are so amazing. You can actually control such a ferocious carriage. It's incredible!"
"Master Ye, you were really brave just now!"
He Yuanming was rescued from the tree, and someone recognized him: "This is the young master of Tianyu Restaurant."
Such a big thing happened, someone went to inform the He family, and Ye Ping'an walked over and helped the old beggar who was knocked away.
"My bones are falling apart!" The old beggar groaned, with a little blood at the corner of his mouth. He leaned weakly on Ye Ping'an and begged: "Give me something to eat, little brother, I want to eat braised food."
Seeing that he was weak, fortunately his bones were not broken, and he only had some skin injuries. His life was not in danger. Ye Ping'an helped him to sit down in the store and said, "Old man, what you did just now was too dangerous. You must never do that again in the future. You were lucky this time and didn't hurt your bones. You won't be so lucky next time."
"You are too nagging, little brother. Will you give me food or not? Do you want to starve me to death?" the old beggar complained.
Ye Pingan looked at him seriously, then said, "You can eat if you want, but you have to pay. Do you have any money?"
The old beggar couldn't believe it: "I'm in such a state, and you still want to collect money?"
Ye Pingan was very calm: "Why not take it? It's not me who knocked you away."
The guests around felt that Ye Ping'an was a bit inhuman and unsympathetic.
Ye Pingan looked at them with a smile: "You are so kind, then how much braised food he eats will be counted on your shoulders, okay?"
He doesn't want to be a nice guy!
The onlookers backed away.
They didn't know the old beggar at all, so why should they treat him to braised food? This is not a big steamed bun, and braised food is not cheap.
The rescued He Yuanming limped over with the help of the driver: "I'll treat this old man to some braised food. He can eat as much as he wants."
"That won't work. If he finishes all the braised food, what should we buy?" Some customers refused to do that and would buy the braised food no matter how scared they were.
He had been waiting in line all morning.
But there were also guests who were willing to give up their seats. The old man had been hit by a carriage and looked like he was about to die. What was wrong with asking him to give up his seat?
The old beggar got to eat the braised food as he wished.
The aroma of the stew filled his taste buds, making him squint his eyes in happiness.
"It's delicious, so delicious, no wonder so many people are lining up to buy it." He said with praise.
He Yuanming compensated for all the losses caused to others today. After receiving the compensation, the stall owners no longer cared about it, cleaned up their stalls, and helped He Yuanming send the broken carriage back to the He family.
He Yuanming left ten taels of silver for the old beggar, who accepted it without hesitation: "Since you are so kind-hearted, I will not mind the fact that your carriage hit me."
The driver was a little dissatisfied: "If you, an old beggar, hadn't rushed over, the carriage wouldn't have hit you."
Ye Peng looked at the old beggar: "Are you trying to blackmail me on purpose?"
The old beggar was covered in dirt, with messy hair and sloppy beard covering his features, so it was hard to tell what he looked like, but his eyes looked familiar to Ye Peng.
