Chapter 55 For the sake of 10 merit points

10 merit points, this meal is worth it.

Nan Xi ate another wonton and said angrily to Li Beimuhao who was sitting opposite: "Eat quickly, his wontons are really good. If you don't have enough, you can ask for another bowl."

Then she thought of the silly big man's outfit and asked, "You can't get used to this, right?"

Damn it, it seems like I really shouldn’t have brought him to the wonton stand.

Li Beimu waved his hand: "No, no."

He tried to eat one, and the taste was beyond his expectation, "It's delicious!"

Soon, he finished the bowl of wontons and even the soup.

Seeing that he really didn't force himself, Nan Xi asked with a smile: "Am I right? The wontons here are really delicious. I will never forget the taste after eating them once."

She ordered another bowl for Li Beimu.

Li Beimu said no, but when the wontons were actually served, he couldn't help but start eating them again.

"I didn't expect such a small stall to do such good business." Li Beimu looked around and saw that there were only five or six tables in total, but they were all occupied.

Nan Xi pointed to the Gongyuan diagonally opposite, "That's because the scientific examination begins today. They are all relatives of the candidates. Although they cannot help with the examination, they can accompany them outside."

Li Beimu looked around carefully again, with a happy smile on his face: "It seems that the people's life is quite prosperous, very good, very good."

Why is this stupid guy so stupid?

Nan Xi glanced at him and rolled her eyes: "That's because poor people don't have money to eat wontons. Don't you really think that these wontons are so cheap that everyone can afford them?"

The wonton seller was an old man in his 50s who was honest and upright. Hearing this, he came over to explain: "My wontons are not expensive. If you eat a lot, I can give you a penny cheaper."

Everyone looked over here.

Nan Xi: "..."

Li Beimu didn't believe it: "Look, this boss is so affordable, and it's a penny cheaper. How can someone still not be able to afford it?"

Nan Xi paid the bill directly, "Follow me."

For the sake of those 10 merit points, she would teach this stupid guy a lesson for free today.

But who would have expected that Li Beimu didn't pay attention to his feet when he stood up to leave. He tripped and subconsciously tilted his body, falling on a passing woman.

"what!"

The woman screamed, hugged her chest and backed away, angrily yelling: "How dare you be so frivolous to me in broad daylight?"

Her voice was so loud that not only the people at the wonton stall, but also the passers-by on the road looked over.

They looked at Li Beimu with contempt.

Li Beimu: "?"

He has never suffered such injustice.

"I do not have."

"This is a misunderstanding."

He tried to explain to the woman, but the woman didn't listen. He thought Li Beimu came forward to continue, "Don't think that you can do whatever you want to a woman because you are good-looking. You don't learn well at a young age. Be careful." I'll report it!"

The woman threw up her sleeves and left, leaving Li Beimu in a fog of scolding.

He turned to look at Nan Xi and explained, "I really don't look down on her."

Nan Xi couldn't help laughing: "Okay, maybe he was just in a bad mood, and you just happened to bump into him."

This kind of thing can only be regarded as bad luck, after all, he really bumped into that woman.The little farce ended quickly, and the people around continued their own affairs. Nan Xi took Li Beimu to the northern suburbs of the city, where there was a ruined temple with more than a dozen beggars living inside.

"Do you think they can afford wontons?" Nan Xi asked.

This was the first time that Li Beimu saw a beggar. It turned out that there were really people who were not fully clothed. They were hungry and fighting for food with dogs. They were not warm enough to wear and didn't have enough to eat.

"This..." Li Beimu said: "After all, there are only a few beggars."

Which country doesn’t have a few beggars?
Seeing that he still didn't believe it, Nan Xi nodded: "Okay, then come with me."

She took Li Beimu to the village where she and Han Pian Shaoyao had been before.

Everyone in this village makes a living by farming, but after the autumn harvest, there is not much left except for the land rent paid, so every family is living in poverty. The adults are reluctant to see a doctor, the children are reluctant to go to school, and life seems to have no progress at all.

"Miss Nan, are you here?" Because Nan Xi came to see them last time and passed the case of Hao Da Niang's family, almost everyone in the village recognized her.

I feel both grateful and guilty towards her, so I will greet her warmly when I meet her.

"Miss Nan, my family just roasted some sweet potatoes. They are sweet. Do you want to come and try them?"

"Miss Nan, my grandson has been crying since he went to bed last night and has not eaten. I don't know what's going on. Could you please come and take a look?"

Nan Xi smiled and nodded: "Okay, Granny Zhang, I'll go right away."

They followed to Granny Zhang's home.

The small courtyard enclosed by the fence is not big, and the land inside is full of pleasant green vegetables. Further ahead is a thatched house, and the entrance is the kitchen. There is a room to the left of the kitchen, and two wooden boards extend beside the bed, on which lies There was a two or three-year-old child, and next to her was the mother Yang who was crying and feeling sorry for her child.

"Daughter-in-law, go and pour some tea, Miss Nan is here." Granny Zhang said.

Yang immediately got up and went to organize the meeting.

"No, sister-in-law, it's important to see the baby first."

Nan Xi came to the bedside, first looked at the child's eyes, then looked at his tongue coating, and then began to feel the pulse.

Finally, I took out the needle pack and inserted a few needles near the child's belly button. Soon, the child farted a few times, stopped crying, started to reach out for a hug, and wanted to eat.

Granny Zhang and Mrs. Yang both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Nan, you are truly a living Buddha and a great benefactor to our family."

Nan Xi smiled and said: "It's not that exaggerated, Granny Zhang. The child just ate cold things and blew cold wind. The cold air entered the body and caused flatulence. The reason for crying is stomachache. I just need to pay more attention in the future."

Granny Zhang and Mrs. Yang insisted on giving money to Nan Xi, but she didn't ask for it. It's not an exaggeration to describe the family as a family with four walls. How could she take their money?

"Keep these pills. If you encounter this situation again, give your child one pill and don't take more." After leaving some pills, Nan Xi took Li Beimu and left together.

In such a short time, the merit points increased by another 10 points.

Li Beimu seemed to have been hit hard. He didn't speak again after leaving Granny Zhang's house.

"What's wrong?" Nan Xi asked.

Li Beimu glanced at her, then turned around and returned to Granny Zhang's house.

They were preparing to eat. There were almost no grains of rice in the porridge in the bowls. There was a plate of fried wild vegetables that Li Beimu didn't recognize on the table.

Li Beimu was stunned, "How can you eat enough with these things? The child is still so young."

Granny Zhang could only explain: "We don't have much rice at home."

Yang was also kind-hearted and asked, "Are you hungry? How about I cook some more porridge for you and put more rice in it."
