Liang Siheng pouted, sipping the sour plum soup he bought with Chen Hongjing's money, and said angrily: "Why is this happening? Let's go back and look for it, okay?"
"Aren't we going to help you find it now? Don't be impatient, okay?" Zhong Xiaofan said impatiently. What he hates most is an old man who cries and moans all day long. What does it look like, and Liang Siheng happens to be that The old man who cries all day long.
That was really something that Zhou Yiyun found very interesting. Originally, the three children were walking in front and the two adults were walking behind. The last second he saw Liang Siheng holding up his small money bag to show off to Chen Hongjing and Zhong Xiaofan. , and in the next second, his small money bag disappeared. Those who steal are considered masters among masters.
Zhou Yiyun folded his sleeves and looked at the three children busy in front. He smiled and said, "Master, I will go over there for a walk and see if I can help my brother Liang find the small purse."
The master waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, that's really troublesome for our brother Aqiang. He went to the gambling stall next door to find the money bag. It's really hard work."
Aqiang scratched his head and laughed: "I guess that little thief must have gone to the gambling stall, so I just took a peek."
"Aqiang, you still need someone to take care of your work? People want you to get out of here."
"Ah ha ha ha ha, gone away." Ah Qiang replied in a cowardly manner, and shouted towards the gambling stall: "Don't open it yet, there is another place to bet here, I want to buy crabs!!!"
The master watched the three children walking towards him. Judging from their appearance, he probably didn't find the money bag.
"Master, I don't know where it went. Let's go back." Liang Siheng pursed his lips and said, about to cry.
Although he knew that there was more than half a chance that the money would be stolen by a thief, he still believed that the money bag was lost rather than stolen. The Master nodded, this is how children should be. The Master stroked Liang Siheng's head and comforted him: "It's okay. We can walk around and look for it again. Maybe the money bag is in a corner, waiting for us quietly."
"I know Master, you want to comfort me. Who doesn't care about a small purse with so many copper coins? If you want to blame me, it's my fault for showing it off. Now I really know what it means to not show off your money."
Zhong Xiaofan patted Liang Siheng's head and said with a smile: "Hey, now you know what it means to keep money from being exposed. In that case, I will reluctantly accompany you to find it again."
A child with simple clothes and shaggy hair eavesdropped behind Chen Hongjing for a while and then left. He chuckled and touched the money bag he had just obtained in his sleeve. You kids, who have never seen a big scene, plus an old man who seems to only study, study, study, how could you expect that a child would steal the money bag? Woolen cloth.
The child took out a few coins from his wallet, and first left the bustling streets and walked to the west side of the town. The west side was a place abandoned by the people in the town. Because there were two immortal masters outside the town a few years ago. The forest fight to resolve personal grievances spread to the west of the town. All the houses were destroyed, and more than a hundred people were killed or injured.
The town officials found the imperial court, and the imperial court found the sect of the two so-called immortal masters. Both sects said they would contact the court for an answer. This answer has been delayed until now, and there is still no news. Now when the people in the town talk about this matter, they don't say it is too sad. It is something that the government and the court cannot manage. , how much right do ordinary people like them have to interfere?
The child randomly walked into a poor house and kicked the wooden bed with anger. "Your uncle, sleep, sleep, sleep, just sleep. Why didn't the war take you away?"
A bearded boy was woken up directly by the child's kick. He glanced at the child and said with an indifferent expression: "Hey, you're here? Didn't I just lie down?"
With a straight face, the child threw the few coins that he had held in his hand for a long time to him. It was really unlucky that the money just slipped out of his hands before he could warm it up. The child said: "What time is it now and you are already lying in bed?"
The young man took the few coins with a smile and said with a smile: "The children learned quickly today and learned it as soon as they could, so I came back early. By the way, Fan Datou's group is here again, waiting for you there. I went to pay the protection fee."
"Oh no, why didn't you tell me earlier?" The child stretched out his foot again and kicked the wooden bed. The boy was so frightened that the copper plate he just got fell to the ground. The boy immediately threw himself on the ground. , picked up those few copper plates.
The child didn't bother to take another look. This is the so-called scholar. A useless scholar refers to such an incompetent person who can only lie on the ground to pick up money. The child left the shabby house and walked towards a shabby temple.
The young man walked out of the door, leaned against the door, looked at the figure of the child slowly walking towards the ruined temple, and said with a smile: "Hmph, ah, who told you to take over so many children? How much can a little kid do? You don’t want to pay me to teach those stupid kids how to read and write, but you don’t want to pay those little gangsters, they are so stupid and pitiful.”
"That's right, he's so stupid. How many stupid people like him do you think there are in this world?"
The young man was startled when he heard the sound. To his left was squatting a young man who was more miserable than himself. He also had a full face of beard. He smiled and said to the down-and-out young man: "It's none of my business. There are a lot of injustices in this world. With my helpless strength, it's already pretty good that I can help myself. Roll, roll, roll." , If you want to beg, stay away. If you don’t have a house, just find one. There are a lot of broken houses here. You just have to pay a little protection fee to those gangsters every ten days or so."
"We still need to pay protection fees for this shabby house. Why don't the officials in this town do anything?" said the down-and-out scholar.
"Brother, I guess you are new here. Since this place was abandoned, it no longer belongs to the town. It belongs to those two bastard immortal master sects. As long as the other party is willing to come out and admit their mistakes, they will be exempted. Investigate. Oh, bah, they are just shirking responsibility here, trying to see if they can take this territory as their own. This court is also incompetent. It is sitting on a great mountain and river, and it is actually afraid of these two families. The Immortal sect is so famous that even the dynasty next door doesn’t know about it, it’s really ridiculous.” The young man said with dignity.
"Well, what I said is true. However, if you can say such ambitious words, why don't you use what you have learned to help people in need? For example, here." The down-and-out scholar looked at the young man.
"Brother, I told you just now, I can't take care of myself now, so how can I help others?" the young man said smugly.
"What did eldest brother do before?"
The young man smiled and said: "It's easy to say, I am a person who went to private school. It's just that my family has fallen into decline. Hey, my brother also looks like a talented person. Who is my brother's name?"
The down-and-out scholar stood up and said with a smile: "As a man, I won't change my name or surname. People all over the country call me Aqiang."
"It turns out to be brother Aqiang. As for the eldest brother, my name is Yu Shou. You can just find a shabby house here to live in. I know the gangsters here. If anything happens, come to this house to find the eldest brother. , if the eldest brother is not here, go to that temple to find him. The eldest brother teaches people how to read and write in that temple." The young man named Yu Shou patted the down-and-out scholar on the shoulder.
Aqiang also patted Yu Shou's hand on his shoulder and said with a smile: "It's a good relationship. From now on, with big brother taking care of me, I feel like I can walk sideways even here, so I'll buy some in the city first." Let’s have a little wine and some appetizers and share them with big brother when we come back.”
Yu Shou nodded, waved, and said goodbye to his good brother named Aqiang. He was very happy today. Halfway through class, the gangsters came, so he just came back, so that he could less face those brats. It's been a while, and I can still make a few coppers from that silly kid, I've met a good brother, and I can still drink some wine and eat some side dishes. Isn't this happy? Isn't this cool?
Go back and lie down, waiting for my brother Aqiang to come back with good wine and food to talk about life together.
Aqiang scratched his head with his left hand, and a few extra copper coins appeared on his right hand. He was also very happy today. He went to the gambling stall to gamble for two games. Although he lost one or two copper coins, he made back more than a few coins from the brother Yu Shou he just met. Not to mention, I want to go back and gamble a few more times. This time I will definitely open the shrimp.
When the child walked into the temple, he happened to see a bald man with a scar on his forehead sitting in front of several children, telling stories to the children with saliva flying everywhere. Behind him stood two tall, thin teenagers.
"Hey, now, here comes a young woman with a graceful figure. That young woman, tsk tsk tsk, her skin is as white as snow, and the clothes on her body are looming. She slapped the useless scholar to the ground with one slap, turned around and came to the world with a smile. Next to the heroic bald man, she sat on his lap. Her hands kept touching the bald man's body. Then, "
Only two "cough cough" sounds were heard, and the bald man was interrupted. Turning around, he saw that the most show-off kid was here. The bald man smiled and said, "Hey, isn't this the eldest brother? Oh, the eldest brother is here." As he said that, the bald man pointed at the child and raised his head behind him. The two younger brothers laughed.
The two younger brothers followed and started laughing, becoming more and more arrogant.
The bald man opened his palm, bent his fingers a few times, and motioned for the little boy to come closer to him.
The little boy did not dare to refuse, so he could only put on a smile, took out the money bag he had just obtained from his tattered clothes, slowly handed it over, and said: "Brother Fan, these copper coins are for the protection fee during this period. I hope you will accept it."
"Yo, yo, yo. Look, big brother is always on time. You two should learn from big brother, you know?"
The two teenagers shouted loudly: "I know!"
Fan Datou picked up the small money bag from the little boy's hand, put it in his own hand, and weighed it. Then he put it in his pocket and slapped the little boy's face with his right hand: "That's good, but you don't know, adults talk! Children, can't you hit and break!"
After talking about it, Fan Datou's slap became harder and harder, and the last word sent the little boy flying to the threshold.
Fan Datou walked to the threshold and spat at the little boy: "From now on, when I'm talking, you should keep your fucking peace with me."
Fan Datou poured out all the money from the money bag and threw the money bag hard at the little boy's face.
After the three gangsters left, the children sitting nearby stopped crying and slowly ran over to visit the little boy who was beaten. However, the little boy threw them away and followed the example of the gangsters and vomited on the ground. He took a mouthful of blood and spit out a tooth.
"Knocked out all my teeth. It's so cruel. Wait until one day I don't play with you to death. It's okay. You guys practice your calligraphy well. I want to go out for a walk again." The little boy stood up and walked out. His back was turned to them from beginning to end.
We walked to that busy street again. Ah, this world is not good, destroy it, let me die. The little boy raised his head and looked at God, expecting it to open its eyes, and a thunderbolt would come down, destroy this world, or give himself to God. Killing him to death is pretty good, pretty good.
"Come on, come on, buy it and let it go, buy it and let it go. Dear guests, let go after buying, don't move anymore. Three, two, one, open! Hey, gourd! Thank you, all guests." shouted.
Aqiang was so angry that he stomped his feet: "Oh, I'm just telling you, two rounds of shrimps, two rounds of crabs, this round will definitely lead to a full house. I just believed what you uncle said."
"Oh, you still relied on me. If I hadn't heard you buy fish in the game, I would have doubled it. And just now, you just fooled me with a few words, and the person disappeared, and then appeared again, What a bad guy, from now on, whatever you buy, I will buy the opposite." The uncle scolded Aqiang in turn.
"Okay, let's start the next one." The two bowls of the dealer were put together, both hands were raised, and the left and right hands were waved vigorously, and a few dices made crisp sounds in the bowls inside. The dealer put the bowl on the table and said, "Dear guests, please place your bets!"
Everyone put down silver and copper plates on their own patterns.
Aqiang touched his sleeves and was shocked. I wiped it, and it was stolen by that brat again. The last few coins were not left to Grandpa. It would be impossible not to catch him and let the master give him a good education. .
Everyone watched Aqiang walk out of the gambling stall, and the uncle behind him mocked: "You have no money, so hurry up and leave. You come here to gamble with the appearance of a down-and-out scholar. Scholars lose, so it's weird to win."
Aqiang stopped, bent down to pick up a small stone from the ground, and flicked it towards the gambling stall. The whole gambling stall collapsed with a crash, and the thatched roof suppressed everyone. Hey, grandpa will play with you. It's a hobby. Since grandpa has no money to play, you don't want to play either. Small gambling makes you happy, but big gambling is harmful to your health. Grandpa is helping you save money.
The little boy stole four copper coins from the poor scholar, and lost all the remaining six coins to the scholar. For the first time, the little boy bought a candy man with a copper coin, and went to the south door by himself and lost it. Two coins went into an old beggar's broken bowl.
When the old beggar heard the sound of business coming, he quickly sat up, rubbed his eyes and said with a smile, "May I ask the young guest what story you want to hear."
The little boy shook his head: "I don't want to hear stories. I just want to be a rich man for once and leave."
The old beggar sighed: "Thank you boss, you will definitely prosper in the future."
The little boy didn't take it seriously. After listening to what the old beggar said, he returned to the ruins. There is no such thing as success, I just want to destroy this world. He took out his money bag. Today's results had been snatched away by others. He looked at the contents on the money bag. There was a peony embroidered on both sides, and on the other side it read: Peace and good health. The other side reads: Grow up quickly and be happy.
Why, for the same child, why is God so unfair?
