In a busy market, a little beggar dressed in tattered silks was walking in despair, holding a stray dog in his arms.
He walked to a bun shop and looked at the boss pitifully, his stomach growling appropriately.
"I'm hungry!"
Seeing this situation, the stubble-faced bun shop owner said angrily with disgust, "Go away, go away, little beggar! If you don't have money, don't stop me from doing business. Your smell will ruin my buns." Got it!"
The little beggar didn't seem to hear the boss of the bun shop yelling and scolding him. He held the buns in his dirty little hands and was about to stuff them into his mouth.
The boss was furious and hurriedly stepped forward, pushed the little beggar down and took back the bun. He was still cursing, "You little beggar, are you robbing me in the open?! You are quite courageous!"
After that, he pretended to fix the little beggar, but seeing how pitiful he looked, he couldn't do it after all.
The big feet that had been stretched out were awkwardly retracted. He turned and waved to the little beggar, "Looking at how pitiful you are, I won't beat you. Let's go!"
The little beggar failed to eat the bun. Seeing the boss's fierce look, he knew that he would never have the chance to sneak up and eat the buns.
The little beggar could only walk away in despair.
Not far away, the voice of the owner of the steamed bun shop came, "Come back, little beggar! It's really unlucky. How should I sell the steamed buns you're holding?! I'll also send my kindness back to you!"
The little beggar turned around when he heard the sound and saw two dirty buns flying towards him and landing on the ground at his feet.
The little beggar quickly put down the little yellow dog he was holding and went to pick up the buns, as if he was afraid that others would snatch his buns.
As the little beggar walked away, the owner of the bun shop said with a depressed face, "The business has not yet opened, and two people were ruined in vain. What a damn bad luck! I have to suffer from that woman's bad luck again today!"
The little beggar is naturally Xiaobao who has encountered an accident.
It has been more than two months since he was teleported from Xiaoyue Mountain. Xiaobao wandered around with the little yellow dog.
After experiencing this long period of wandering, Xiaobao was already in great pain after losing his parents, but the suffering of wandering life made him even more desperate.
He was once chased for several streets for half a steamed bun and then beaten up severely. There was also a time when he was so hungry that he snatched dog food from a vicious dog and was chased to the ends of the earth by the vicious dog.
He often runs on an empty stomach and is chased by vicious dogs and evil people. Sometimes he is unbearably hungry and will grab wild fruits on the roadside and stuff them into his mouth. When he is unlucky, the fruits are poisonous and can torture Xiaobao to death. Xiaobao was able to survive with luck only because of the solid foundation laid by his persistence in practicing the art of fetal transformation in the village.
Even so, Xiaobao no longer dares to eat wild fruits on the roadside unscrupulously. He secretly made a rule that he could not eat wild game on the roadside unless he had to.
Now Xiaobao's life is beautiful only in his sleep. He still has his father, his mother, his playmates in the village, and his carefree life.
When he is awake, he only has his little yellow dog and the endless ups and downs of life to accompany him.
…
Xiaobao and the little yellow dog shared two dirty buns to eat, and their hunger in the past few days was relieved a lot.
The combination of the two of them is still not enough. This lively market only happens once every ten days and a half. They must get enough food to prepare for any unexpected events.
It was their routine to ask for steamed buns just now. But even so, there are still risks.
No, they are in trouble.
The skinny monkey boss who sells pancakes has a bad temper. When he saw Xiaobao's dirty hands soiling his pancakes, he was furious. He raised his skinny palms and said hello to Xiaobao's face.
Xiaobao fell to the ground, and many people gathered in the lively market to watch.
The skinny monkey boss didn't stop when he saw many people watching. Instead, he shouted, "You little beggar, before I opened today, your dirty little hands destroyed a piece of my cake. Even if I feed the dog, I won't give it to you." You have something to eat!”
Boss Shouhou is deliberately so high-profile. He just wants to show this group of beggars so that they will never dare to touch his big cake with their dirty hands.
The crowd of onlookers just watched indifferently, with no idea of helping, or even of condemnation.
The indifference of the people around him made Xiaobao feel chilly. His inability to beg for food is inseparable from the indifference of these people. He does not understand why this society is so indifferent. In this indifferent society, he may soon lose the courage to live.
Suddenly, a voice sounded, calm and calm, "Stop! You profiteer, I just touched your cake, do you want to beat him to death?!"
The owner of Skinny Monkey quickly stopped when he heard that someone was shouting. He was surprised that someone had stepped in to take out his anger on the little beggar.
You must know that the residents of this town wish these little beggars would die early, so that they and their children would have more chances to survive.
The person who came was a somewhat wealthy middle-aged man. He was dressed gorgeously, holding two yellow fitness balls in his hands, and looked at the thin monkey and Xiaobao who was beaten to the ground with a smile.
When the thin monkey saw the visitor, he immediately put away his angry expression and said to the visitor in a flattering voice, "It turns out to be Mr. Zhao, how can you have the time to take care of such chores? I haven't collected the money for this month's offering yet. , just hoping to sell more cakes today and collect the offering money. The business has not yet opened today, and this little bastard soiled my big cake. It was really unlucky, so I didn’t stop and beat the little beggar twice more. Down."
After listening to the thin monkey's explanation, Zhao Dashan didn't pursue it very much. He just waved impatiently, "Okay, okay. No need to explain. Don't fight this little guy. I'm going to take him away. You continue to be good." Let’s sell pie!”
"Yes, yes, Master Zhao, this little bastard can be taken care of by Master Zhao, it is really a blessing from his ancestors."
Mr. Zhao stopped talking to the thin monkey and continued walking along the street. Two strong men in servant clothes helped Xiaobao up and followed him.
Mr. Zhao just continued shopping, but the indifferent people behind him started talking enthusiastically.
"For this little beggar, fortune has turned out well! He has been favored by Mr. Zhao Dashan, and he is sure to have a successful career in the future!"
"Skinny Monkey, you are so lucky. Just be careful about this little beggar taking revenge on you in the future!"
"Yeah, if I can wait until the day when this little bastard takes revenge on me, there will be smoke rising from my ancestors' graves!"
In the noisy street, these sounds were quickly drowned out, and Xiaobao followed the good man obediently. He thought about his father's words, "There are still many good people in this world!"
During this period of wandering life, he almost lost hope of living, but at this moment, Xiaobao actually felt happy. He imagined that his wandering life was about to end.
Xiaobao followed Zhao Dashan into his manor and was placed in a small courtyard.
