Chapter 63 Picked up a little beggar
When Du Wanwan came in, she happened to see the shopkeeper wiping tears.

She glanced at him in surprise: "Shopkeeper, I'm buying cloth."

The shopkeeper, who was in his 40s, wiped his face and reluctantly stood up to greet the guests. Seeing that he was a young man, he was not well-dressed and looked like he was sleeping in the open. He knew he was a refugee fleeing famine.

How much cloth can such a person buy?
"Little brother! You choose whatever you want, I'll buy half and half for free."

He couldn't take the cloth away even if he didn't give it away. In the end, he had no choice but to close the shop, not knowing who got an advantage.The most he can do is hold on until the day after tomorrow, and then he will leave.

There is so much cloth that it is impossible to remove it. It is unrealistic to hire people to remove it. Everyone is fleeing. Who will work hard for you?What happened on the road? Whose responsibility is it if the goods are lost?

He had been running a cloth shop for most of his life, and all his savings were spent on this batch of goods.

"Half buy and half free?"

Du Wanwan looked at the cloth in the store. It was estimated that there were people of all ages and all kinds of mess, and there was cotton on the side.If we buy them all, we won’t have to buy any more cloth in Liang County for ten years.

"Yes!" The shopkeeper sighed deeply, "The people in Jingxian County are about to be gone, and we are about to call. The cloth cannot be sold anymore, so it can only be left to rot. Little brother! I am destined to meet you. You can do whatever you want. Take it!”

Knowing that the shopkeeper was not lying, Du Wanwan asked seriously: "If I want all the cloth in your store, how much silver will it cost?"

"You want them all?" The shopkeeper looked at Du Wanwan, and then sighed, "Little brother! I know you want to help me, but why are you buying so much cloth at this time? Can you take it away after buying it?"

"You don't have to worry about it. Just tell me how much money you need. If it suits you, I'll buy it all."

The space is very large, and it doesn’t take up any space when you buy it and throw it in.If you find something cheap, pick it up, so you don’t have to buy something expensive in the future.She has money in her hands and doesn't mind spending more money.

The shopkeeper was very grateful. He knew in his heart that the little brother must have felt sympathy when he saw him crying just now.The place he was going to was the capital, and he really couldn't take these pieces of cloth with him.

Even if you can bring it over, it will only be fine cotton or coarse cloth. Excluding the freight and labor, there is basically no profit.

Luck and bad luck are the same thing.

The little brother is young, but he has a sincere heart.Logically speaking, with all the miscellaneous goods in his store, the cost would be more than 100 taels.

Half buy and half get free is 50 taels.

For the sake of the little brother who is sincerely helping him, he will order less.

"Just give me a comfort price, 20 taels of silver!"

Du Wanwan's psychological price is 50 taels. After all, this store not only has cloth, but also a lot of new cotton. Those things are valuable and worth a lot of money.

"Shopkeeper, you need less." Du Wanwan took out 50 taels of silver from her pocket and put it on the counter, "That's all for you, take it and leave! I'll call someone to pull out the things in the store later."

Looking at the money, the shopkeeper's eyes were red: "Little brother! You are so generous. My name is Feng Liang, and I am going to the capital. Little brother! We will see you later."

Feng Liang cupped his fists and saluted Du Wanwan, and Du Wanwan imitated his gesture and returned the salute: "Shopkeeper Feng! It's easy to talk to."

After taking the money, Feng Liang immediately handed over the store to Du Wanwan: "Little brother! Then I will go home. You can take away all the cloth here. You can take away anything in the store. From now on, It’s still unclear who will own the house.”

"You didn't buy this store?" Du Wanwan asked casually.

"No, it was rented. The owner has already run away." Feng Liang said and sighed, "I have to run away too, little brother! You take your time to sort it out."

Du Wanwan thought to herself, run away quickly!My Yaya can hardly wait.Hearing that everything in the store could be taken away, Yaya was already ready to do so.As soon as Feng Liang left and Du Wanwan closed the store door, Yaya began to use her ability to collect things.Whether it's goods, shelves, or counters, they're all taken in at once.

In the blink of an eye, the store was as clean as water, with nothing left except the walls.

After collecting the things, Du Wanwan opened the store door and walked out. She was afraid that Feng Liang would come back and see something wrong, so she asked Yaya to bolt the store door from the inside. She couldn't open it even if she wanted to go in.

He was in a hurry to run away, and there was no way he could waste any more time here.After buying cloth and cotton, we still need to see if there is any food.

My family hasn’t had meat for a long time, and I guess Jingxian County won’t be able to buy it even if it wants to.

After walking around, there were no meat sellers, not even vegetable sellers. Everyone was gone and all the stores were closed.

There was a rice store open. Du Wanwan went in and took a look and found that there was no rice, only moldy buckwheat and corn, and nothing else.

She didn't buy it. She walked out of the store and looked around. She found a pharmacy and bought several common herbal medicines. This was a pretext for treating her father's legs, so she couldn't miss them.

Yaya had already sorted out the cloth and cotton she wanted to take back. Du Wanwan asked her to take them out from an unoccupied corner and stuff them into her backpack.

She was very hungry, so Yaya gave her a big meat bun. Du Wanwan ate it in several bites and drank a glass of water, which relieved her hunger.

There was no shop selling steamed buns in the city, but she still took out more than ten large meat buns and put them at the bottom of her backpack.It’s been a long time since my brothers had eaten meat. It’s okay to have some meat buns to trick your mouth into, it’s better than nothing.

Just as I packed my things, a skinny beggar came over. He looked to be only eleven or twelve years old.

Seeing Du Wanwan, he rushed to her, kept kowtowing, and begged weakly: "Give me something to eat! I'm about to starve to death. Please! Brother, brother! Give me something to eat." Right!"

The little beggar was very dirty and his clothes were in tatters, but his eyes were big, round, and black, which made him look very beautiful.

"Brother, brother! Give me something to stutter!" The little beggar kept kowtowing to her. His voice was hoarse and his lips were chapped. He kept repeating one sentence, "Brother, brother! Give me something to stutter! Brother, give me something to eat!" , Brother! Give me something to eat!"

Du Wanwan wanted to refuse, but seeing how pitiful the little beggar was and seeing that there was no one around, she took out a meat bun from the bottom of her backpack and stuffed it into her hand.

Tell her: "You eat here, don't run around."

The little beggar stared at the bun with big black eyes and opened his mouth to bite it. He was afraid that she would choke, so Du Wanwan gave her some water.

"Eat slowly. Where are your family members? Are they all gone? Why didn't they take you away?"

The little beggar was only focused on eating and had no time to answer Du Wanwan's questions. After finishing eating the buns and drinking water, he felt a little stronger.

Looking at Du Wanwan, her voice became louder: "I have no family, I was an orphan since I was a child."

Hearing this, Du Wanwan felt very uncomfortable. She was also an orphan in her previous life and knew how difficult it was to live alone.

She was lucky, and at a good time, there was a special orphanage to adopt them.Today's Wei Dynasty probably has not yet perfected these preferential policies.

As an orphan, you can only live at the mercy of fate.

Du Wanwan asked: "What's your name?"
