At this time, a trembling cry came from the silent street: "Selling charcoal-selling charcoal-"An ox cart carrying a curled-up old man was slowly moving forward. The old man's face was covered with dust, the black smoke on his forehead and the charcoal carried on the car, which made it easy to see that he was a man who cut wood and burned charcoal for a living all day. Obviously, the thin clothes on the old man couldn't resist the cold wind, and he shivered again.
At dawn, there are more pedestrians on the road, but few people can buy charcoal. Even if someone makes an inquiry, the price is extremely low. The old man was going to use the money he earned today to buy some rations and then add clothes for the winter. But in this way, there is no hope. The old man looked back at the charcoal soaked by himself with tired eyes and remembered the hardships of selling charcoal in his early years. He couldn't help feeling sad and his eyebrows screwed together.
Yes, yes ... the horse crows from far to near. Two riders stopped their horses in front of the old man, and the place they passed was a mess. The old man had already heard about the eunuch buying a strong exchange from Yan Qiang, and was about to drive away. "Wait, old man," the white man on horseback blocked his way. The old man did not dare to resist and asked tentatively, "What are your orders?"
The man in white said, "I want to do business with you." As he spoke, he took out half an old brocade and a backbone from his bag and tied it to the cow's head. "Come, I'll give you a load of charcoal." "ah!" Hearing this, the old man was like a bolt from the blue and begged, "My Lord, you can't! /kloc-0.000 pound charcoal in this car is worth more than this satin! Don't you kill me like this? " Then hold the white man's leg, and the white man kicks the old man away to unload the ox cart. Then the eunuch shouted, "Let bygones be bygones. I will act according to the divine will. How dare you resist? " As he spoke, two men rode horses and pulled a charcoal cart to the north.
