In front of the beef noodle stand, for the first time, Hui Mo didn't know what to eat. Ning Shu followed his gaze and saw the owner of the noodle stand. A couple was leaning against each other. One was responsible for rolling the noodles, the other was responsible for boiling the soup. Next to them was a pot of fragrant braised beef tendon. In the summer in the capital, even in the morning, it was still sultry. The male owner was sweating from rolling the noodles. Before he could open his mouth, the female owner took a cloth towel to wipe his sweat. The two looked at each other and smiled. After a while, they wiped their sweat again and smiled at each other again. There was a small stool in the stall. Their seven or eight-year-old son was sitting on the stool and reading the Three Character Classic carefully. But after all, he was still young. He was taken out of the stall by his parents in the morning. After reading a few pages, he fell asleep. His little head was like a chicken pecking rice on the book. It was so cute that it made the diners laugh.
Ning Shu's mouth curved. She withdrew her gaze and said to Hui Mo: "Are you thinking of your parents?"
Hui Mo smiled and said: "When they died, they were about the same age. Ah, no, they had been farming for their whole life. They were tanned and looked older than them. At that time, they were really poor. They rented three acres of land from the landlord. They had to work from dawn to dusk every day to feed me. They also saved a little copper coins for me. When I grew up, they sent me to the school to learn how to read. I was really ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. I even boasted that when I grew up, I would be the number one scholar in the capital and become a big official. I would never let them suffer again. As a result, after a year of school, I didn't even know the complete Three Character Classic. I was beaten by my father. He almost took me to see a doctor to treat my brain. My mother was soft-hearted. She protected me and said: I didn't give birth to my son to let him repay me in the future. Whether he is smart or stupid, I only want him to have enough food to eat and be safe and happy for the rest of his life. My father was so angry that he scolded a kind mother for wasting her son. Hahahaha … "He laughed and lowered his eyes to cover the tears inside:" It's been ten years. I almost can't remember what they looked like. I remember when I collected their corpses, their bodies were rotten and smelly, just like … just like the marinated beef in this bowl. "
Ning Shu let out a long sigh. Just as she was thinking about what to say to comfort him and cheer him up, she suddenly heard the last sentence. The corner of her mouth twitched, and the bowl of beef noodles in her hand suddenly lost its fragrance.
Huimo's prank is successful. He raises his head and laughs: "Lady Ning, I didn't expect that you would be fooled one day. You can't eat the noodles anymore, right? It's all mine! "
Ning Shu looked at his smug face and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She pushed her bowl of noodles to him and ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodles for herself. She didn't expose his fake smile.
Hui Mo swallowed the whole bowl of noodles and said, "But I hate that dog official. If he is still alive in this world, I will burn his bones and scatter his ashes!"
Ning Shu ate the vegetarian noodles that the lady boss just sent and said: "By the way, do you still remember the name of that magistrate?"
"I won't forget it even if I die. That dog official's surname is Zhao, and his name is Mingzhen. He is a real hypocrite, a real beast! When he first came to our Hanjiang Prefecture, he pretended to be a living Bodhisattva who worked for the country and the people. He deceived all of us. Every family worshipped his everlasting lamp at home. I didn't expect that in the seventh year of his term, he secretly plundered countless people. In the drought that year, many people didn't have to die. But he kept it a secret and sealed the border, which led to the death of a total of 280,000 people. After the disaster money was lost, the villagers couldn't bear it and went to the magistrate to find him. That dog official actually shamelessly said that if the heavens want us to die, he can't do anything about it. He also sent officials to seriously injure many villagers. It wasn't until the higher-ups sent an imperial envoy, and Prime Minister Tan personally brought the imperial sword to denounce him. Only then did that dog official know that his death was near and committed suicide to escape punishment. "
Ning Shu listened and nodded. After a while, she curiously asked: "Since he knew that the imperial envoy came to denounce him, paper can't wrap fire. Didn't he escape?"
"At that time, the villagers had already surrounded the magistrate's office. They were ready to rush in and cut him alive. He couldn't escape even if he wanted to. This is called Heaven's justice is clear. He deserved it! "
