Legend of Dream God in a Little Dream

Chapter 183 Apples in the Basket

Yes, all Zengjun can do is keep silent. Everything here has nothing to do with Zengjun. Zengjun is just a witness and a spectator. He can't change or do anything here.

A carriage passed between Zengjun and Yijiu.

ding dong~

The door was opened.

After the carriage passed by, Zengjun also saw Wushi, who was holding a basket filled with fruits.

Wushi came out holding the basket, and Yijiu looked at Wushi's face. What should they say when they meet again? I missed you so much? It seems a little inappropriate. You finally came? It also seems a little abrupt.

"Long time no see," Yijiu said first, opening his mouth.

"Has it been a long time?" Zengjun also smiled and shook his head. Zengjun looked at the scene in front of him, which was like the end of a story. The old friends met again, with a lot of longing in their hearts, all compressed into the sentence "Long time no see".

Zengjun was also slightly happy, because Wushi's coming proved that there is true love in the world.

Wushi handed the basket to Yijiu and said, "I will compensate you for the fish."

"Will we never see each other again?" Yijiu asked Wushi, slowly opening his mouth and speaking, his tone a little frivolous, like an unimportant conversation, a conversation in which nothing you say matters.

"These are the fish I give you as compensation. I promised you that. As for the others, I will take you to do something else at the old place tomorrow. I hope you can come as promised," said Wu Shi.

This is telling Yijiu: I have not given up on you, so don’t give up on yourself.

Yijiu did not open his hands. After all, he knew that a small fish was not worth that much.

Seeing that Yijiu didn't react, Wu Shi also stuffed it into Yijiu's hand.

"What are these?" Yijiu asked. It was not easy to refuse Wushi anymore. Apart from knowing that they were food, he didn't even know what kind of fruit they were.

Wushi also patiently answered Yijiu, picked up a pear, "This is called a pear, it is a very thirst-quenching fruit", put the pear back, and took out some lychees, "This is called a lychee, the outer layer is the skin, you can't eat it, you can only eat it after peeling the skin, and the core inside is also inedible"

Wu Shi then peeled the lychee in his hand, raised it with both hands and placed it next to Yijiu's mouth, "Open your mouth, ah~~"

Yijiu opened his wrinkled mouth. The corners of his mouth were very dry, revealing his yellowed teeth. That was because he only drank dew, and there was no clean well water there.

Yijiu tasted this thing called lychee and said, "It's very sweet"

The sweetness in Yijiu's mouth was incompatible with his life, as if he was forced to say sweetness, but Yijiu was not forced, but said sweetness from the bottom of his heart, and what gave Lizhi extra points were these friendships.

Wu Shi picked up an apple. The other fruits all had two or more, but there was only one apple.

Wu Shi took the apple from the basket and placed it in front of Yijiu.

"What is this?" Yijiu asked.

"This is called an apple. I heard that a very powerful man defeated a tiger and snatched it from the tiger. That's why people call this fruit an apple. But I prefer to call it the fruit of courage," Wu Shi said as he held the apple high.

"Fruit of Courage?" Yijiu repeated it.

"Yes, it's a fruit that represents courage, because adults say that tigers are very scary animals, and this apple is the fruit guarded by those tigers," Wu Shi explained.

Zeng Jun at the side also smiled and said, "I didn't expect that I would be involved in this story in this way, but it is also my honor."

Yes, these apples came from the apple tree that Zengjun discovered accidentally. Coupled with the strange rain in those few days, it is also possible that the apples flowed into wealthy families.

"Young master, it's time to study," a butler in a black suit came over and said to Wu Shi.

"Oh, I'll be right there"

Then the butler walked into the garden.

Wushi stuffed the apple back into the basket. "Remember, only people with courage are qualified to eat this apple. But I heard that if you eat the apple, you will gain courage, and you will have the courage to face a tiger without fear."

"Hehe, what rumors are there? This has nothing to do with Apple. The key lies in your heart." Zengjun also smiled along. A story that has nothing to do with Zengjun but is related to Apple was unfolding here.

Yijiu held the basket of fruit and walked back the way he came.

Yijiu walking on the road, holding some fruits, attracted other people's attention again.

"Hey, look, a man wearing rags has apples and other fruits. I'm afraid he must have stolen them," a passerby whispered to his companion.

"No way, if it was a thief, how could he dare to walk on the street so openly?"

"Other fruits may be explainable, but we don't even have the right to eat that apple. We just spent gold coins to see the world. He is a little beggar. How could he have the apple if he didn't steal it? Could he have picked it up? Do you believe he picked it up?"

"Would you believe it?"

"I don't believe it."

"Then will you reply?"

"I don't believe it either"

Passersby whispered and looked at Yijiu. Everyone had their own opinions, but without exception, they all thought that it was Yijiu who stole it.

Yijiu listened to the rumors, lowered his head and quickened his pace to leave.

After walking a few steps, he bumped into a strong man and the basket in his hand fell to the ground.

The people around surrounded Yijiu and shouted slogans such as "Catch the thief, beat the thief to death!"

In the crowd, Wushi’s seventh uncle was also watching the scene, holding a big fish and a bag of loaches.

Where is Zengjun? Zengjun stood beside Yijiu. Zengjun also knew that these were given to Yijiu by Wushi, but what was the use? No one knew Zengjun was here. This was just a memory.

In other words, only Wu Shi and the housekeeper can prove Yi Jiu's innocence. Wu Shi's seventh uncle cannot do it because Wu Shi's seventh uncle only knows that Yi Jiu followed Wu Shi before. As for what happened later, how could he know?

Now all the people who could prove Yijiu's innocence are gone, and no one thinks that they have wronged Yijiu, because the fact before them is that a little beggar actually has something that is only represented by wealthy families. No one would believe it no matter who you ask.

Just like when you see a kid driving a car, your first thought is whether he is an adult and whether the car is his, right? So no one is wrong, and passers-by are upholding what they currently think is justice.

And what about Yijiu? He could only explain alone, "No, I'm not a thief, I'm not..."

Yijiu heard from her mother that thief is a bad word, and you can't do such a thing, you can't do such a thing.
