C184 (1/2)
Since he had already made up his mind to be a beggar, Lin Jin would naturally not buy another set of clothes that fit him well. Furthermore, beggars would look like beggars, and he temporarily did not plan to use any of those abilities, walking along the streets of the city and meeting many people on the streets, he found an empty space and sat down, then placed the bowl on the ground. With his tattered and tattered clothes, it didn't take long before someone sent him money with a sympathetic look.
At the same time, he also felt the feelings of the people around him as he slowly brought the zhenqi back to their original path. After a period of time, they would move to a different place. Time slowly passed in this sort of situation.
Soon it was night, and the colorful neon lights had replaced the daylight.
As he sat at the entrance of a large supermarket, he saw a few happy and expressionless men and women walking past him. Lin Jin's harvest was even more bountiful, and in less than two hours, his bowl was once again filled with another pile of small tickets.
However, what made him feel like he had gained the most was the emotions of the people around him.
In less than half a day, countless people of all kinds walked in front of him. At the same time, he inadvertently revealed their true colors through his eyes, allowing him to understand a lot.
As time passed, the flow of people became fewer and fewer. All the shops started to close up, and by the time it was night time, the only thing left on the street was the constant sound of car horns.
In the middle of the night, when there was no sound of human voices and no sound from the shops, the traffic was much less than it had been during the day, but the sound was even louder.
Liu Ming did not look for a place to stay. He only found a dark corner that was not easily disturbed. He set up a small formation with a few small stones within five meters of himself. He sat down cross-legged and began to digest what he had obtained today.
The car horn continued to sound.
In the middle of the night, when Lin Jin was immersed in cultivating and was completely unaware of the outside world, a small figure suddenly scuttled out from a corner of the street, moving towards the corner where Lin Jin was at. After that, it blended into the darkness and stopped moving.
When he woke up the next morning, he opened his eyes and stretched. The whole world felt incomparably refreshed.
However, when he looked forward, he was surprised to find that right in front of the array formation where he was meditating, there was a golden-haired stray dog.
Maybe because he sensed Lin Jin's movements, when he stretched himself, the stray dog's ears twitched and it immediately stood up. He looked at Lin Jin warily, preparing to escape at any moment.
Looking at its pitiful gaze, Lin Jin seemed to have seen its miserable appearance of struggling in the city after being abandoned by its master.
Lin Jin had never planned to do anything to it, nor was he someone who liked bullying the weak. He shot a sympathetic look at it and didn't want to stay any longer. He got up and walked outside.
Like most cities in China, it was only six or seven in the morning. But hardworking people put out the breakfast stand on which they depended, and used their distinctive shouts to attract customers.
Lin Jin walked in front of a small stall that sold buns. Just as he was about to buy two buns to satisfy his empty stomach, the man who set up the stall, upon seeing that it was a beggar that was completely ruined, afraid that he would affect his business, immediately frowned and started cursing at him, ”Go away, go away, it's stinky.”
”If you want to eat, go pick up food from the trash, don't stop me from doing business …”
After yesterday's life as a beggar, Lin Jin had never heard of any kind of berating before, so he naturally did not put the words of a peddler to heart. He smiled slightly and took out a few dollars from his dirty pocket and calmly asked: ”How much is a bun?”
The hawker did not expect that this ragged beggar would actually have money on him. He could not help but stare blankly at this scene. But people are good and bad. He didn't have any money, so he had a sudden thought.
Lima paused, looking a little embarrassed as he said, ”One big bag for fifty cents, and one small bag for four yuan. There are vegetable fields and meat, which one do you want?”
Lin Jin saw the change in his expression and did not care about it anymore. He handed over two Yuan and said: ”Give me two big ones and four small ones.”
”Alright!” The peddler didn't want to have anything to do with the beggar, so he quickly took the money and stuffed the six buns into a plastic bag. He carefully handed it over, afraid of touching the beggar's dirty hands.
Taking the plastic bag, Lin Jin looked at the peddler with a smile that was not a smile. His gaze made's heart go numb, and when he did not know what was wrong with him, he walked away.
It was unknown whether it was a coincidence or some other reason, but when Lin Jin saw the stray dog that he saw earlier, he could not help but laugh. He took out a meat bun from his bag and split it into two, revealing the hot and fragrant meat stuffing inside, and threw it towards the stray dog.
The stray dog did not expect to be able to knock down such a heavenly falling meat bun. It was so happy that it immediately moved its mouth over and started chewing on it, making a sizzling sound.
At this time, there were a lot of other people rushing to work or working near the breakfast stand. Seeing this strange scene, they all pointed at the hawker and Lin Jin, obviously not speaking good words, and the other people who were preparing to buy the buns saw that a stray dog was actually enjoying the same food as them, and immediately felt uncomfortable. They quickly gave up on their original idea, and went to another stall to buy breakfast.
