Cultivation by Trial and Error Chapter 343 - 343 337 Beggar

343: Chapter 337: Beggar 343: Chapter 337: Beggar The beggar, both legs cut off at the knees.

Wearing a pair of shorts, his amputated limbs were exposed, which just by looking, could evoke a sense of pity and forbearance.

Beneath him was a thick wooden board equipped with a few small wheels.

In one hand, he held a bowl-sized porcelain pot.

With the other hand bracing against the ground, he used the board to slowly slide and move forward.

He wore a filthy vest, its original color indiscernible, with much of his upper body exposed.

A thick layer of gri could not conceal the fierce scars across his chest and back.

Although the beggar was unkempt and dirty, upon closer observation, one could still discern that he wasn’t very old.

Whenever soone passed by him, the beggar would lift the porcelain pot and then open his mouth, making a series of moaning sounds.

Those unaware might think he was mute.

But if one paid close attention, they would realize that he was not born mute.

He could not speak mainly because, for so unknown reason, part of his tongue was cut off.

Previously, when Chen Hai had walked back and forth on this street nurous tis, he had already noticed this beggar’s presence.

However, anyti he saw this beggar, his gaze rely swept past.

After all, his cousin Huang Yong was fully able-bodied, just a normal person.

In any case, Chen Hai couldn’t connect his cousin with this beggar, who looked utterly miserable.

But now, after Bai Baoshan reminded him, his gaze fell on this beggar again, and he couldn’t help but take a closer look.

Not having looked closely before, he now found himself unable to look away.

Because as far as facial features were concerned, this beggar bore a resemblance to his cousin Huang Yong.

The last ti Chen Hai had seen his cousin Huang Yong was two or three years ago.

As the saying goes, “a girl changes eighteen tis between childhood and womanhood.”

If we truly talk about it, girls develop earlier, but the physical developnt of boys definitely takes place even later.

A boy who grows from fifteen or sixteen to eighteen or nineteen, an actual adult, undergoes changes that could be even more significant than those of a girl.

Looking at this beggar, whose face resembled that of his cousin Huang Yong, was indeed not false.

But, due to the huge differences in attire and physical condition, Chen Hai was unable to confirm whether this beggar was indeed Huang Yong!

With a swoosh, he stood up and walked over to the beggar.

He casually took out a banknote and placed it into the porcelain pot in the beggar’s hand, using this opportunity to take a more detailed look at him.

“Huang Yong…” Feeling the increasing resemblance, he called out tentatively.

That instant, the beggar clearly froze.

He lifted his head and with his lifeless, dead-fish eyes, he scrutinized Chen Hai.

“Mmm mmm mmm mmm…”

The next mont, the porcelain pot he used to beg dropped from his hands and fell to the ground.

As if terrified to see Chen Hai, he continued to moan while frantically pushing against the ground, trying to escape afar using the wooden board.

This sudden turn of events left Chen Hai sowhat unable to react.

He was rely stunned for a mont, during which the beggar had already escaped about five or six ters away using the board beneath him.

Quickly picking up the porcelain pot that had fallen to the ground, Chen Hai hurriedly chased after him.

“Yong, I’m your cousin Chen Hai!”

“What happened to you?

How did you end up like this?

Tell !”

His eyes seeming to shoot fire, Chen Hai caught up with the beggar in a few steps and forcefully grabbed his arm, demanding answers.

If previously, he just suspected that the beggar in front of him could be his cousin Huang Yong.

Now, from the beggar’s reaction upon seeing him, he was at least ninety percent sure that this beggar was indeed his cousin Huang Yong.

“Wuu wuu wuu…”

The beggar, with a face full of terror, was desperately struggling to free his arm from Chen Hai’s grasp.

“Kid, you look decent yet you’re stealing from a beggar— are you even human?”

“Let go of him quickly, if you don’t let go now, once we step in, we’ll make sure you regret it.”

“Also, a word of advice, don’t ddle in others’ affairs, or else, hmm…”

Right outside the Wan Family Supermarket, there was a constant flow of people.

This scene of Chen Hai and the beggar pulling at each other had made many people stop in their tracks, watch the commotion, and point fingers at them.

Suddenly, three or four burly n, seemingly appearing out of nowhere.

Took just a few steps to reach by Chen Hai and the beggar’s side and surrounded them.

One of them, with a tattoo on his arm and a fierce look, even leaned close to Chen Hai’s ear and threateningly whispered.

After these n appeared, the beggar, whose arm was held by Chen Hai, looked as if he saw a savior.

He stopped his whimpering and didn’t continue to struggle to pull his arm out of Chen Hai’s grasp.

Upon releasing the beggar’s arm, Chen Hai glanced at the n surrounding him, and then at the numb-faced beggar sitting on a plank in front of him!

In that mont, it seed as though he understood sothing, he also finally realized why he saw the least of the least Gua when he divined Huang Yong’s whereabouts!

Bai Baoshan was mingling in the crowd a few steps away.

The small dagger he carried was already in his grasp.

From his stance, it appeared that once Chen Hai gave the order, he would charge at those n without a second thought.

The rage that had been building in his heart seed ready to burst through the skies, yet Chen Hai had been holding it back, not allowing himself to explode.

He shook his head slightly at Bai Baoshan, signaling with his eyes not to make any reckless moves.

In terms of combat, not to ntion Bai Baoshan’s presence here, even the still-weak Chen Hai didn’t consider these burly n a threat at all.

But this place was a bustling market, the most vibrant street in the area.

In full view of the public, initiating a fight directly would not be feasible as Chen Hai’s thods were not suited for public display, and committing murder in the street would have too severe implications and was inappropriate.

As for calling the police, he hadn’t considered it at all!

Given the nature of these people, even if they were arrested and sentenced to ten or eight years, Chen Hai felt it would be letting them off too easily.

“Gentlen, sorry, I mistook him for soone else!” he said, eyeing each of the burly n as if they were dead.

Dropping that statent, Chen Hai pushed past the n surrounding him and walked away.

Bai Baoshan, amidst the crowd, also imdiately moved toward Chen Hai.

As he turned and walked away, guarding by Chen Hai’s side, he also didn’t forget to glare fiercely at the n.

“Brother Biao, what should we do?”

“What else can we do?

Let’s call it a day!”

Among the n, the tattooed man took the lead.

His face gloomy, he watched the direction in which Chen Hai and Bai Baoshan left, but like the other n, he refrained from any rash actions.

In such a public place, with many eyes on them, they too were wary.

With a wave of his hand from the tattooed man, they hurriedly gathered, along with the beggar, and started heading toward the other end of the street.

That area was near a national highway.

There, a van was parked, into which the beggar was dragged like a small chicken by two n.

Additionally, two flower-selling girls and a few slovenly teenagers who had been pickpocketing were hustled into the van by the n.

Once the van was cramped with more than ten people inside, finally, the vehicle started, turned onto the national highway, and quickly disappeared into the distance.
