During the day, Liuyue Xiejie is much more deserted than at night, but as a place of fireworks, there are always people who come to have fun.

However, it was early in the morning, and there was another rainstorm last night, and there were many fewer pedestrians in the alley, except for a few sporadic merchants selling some rouge gouache, and it was difficult to see other pedestrians.

However, there was a noisy circle of girls in front of Cuiluo Building, which seemed to be more lively than at night.

I saw a ragged and thin little girl kneeling in front of the building, this girl was lying on her back and clumsily holding a baby boy in her arms.

The baby boy was softly leaning on the little girl's arms and falling asleep, with a little face red and fluttering, looking very cute.

But the little girl knew that this little red face appeared after a night of cold rain, and the child was having a high fever at the moment, and he looked like he was asleep, but he was actually fainting from the fever!

The little girl is kneeling here with this baby boy in her arms at the moment, just to ask him for a way to live!

"Huh......? Isn't this a dog? Dog, what are you kneeling here?" a girl who had been friends with Luo Niangniang before recognized the dog now!

"This sister, please go in and say goodbye, the dog wants to ask to see Yuji Niangniang, and the dog has thanked me here!"

The dog knelt on the ground and bowed to the woman who had just spoken.

Yuji Niangniang is the owner of this Cuiluo Building, and she is also the person who drove the dog out of the building according to Luo Niangniang's wishes!

"This ......" The woman bit her lower lip slightly, and her face was embarrassed!

In fact, it's no wonder that she is embarrassed, the rules in the building, once a person leaves the building, whether he is ransomed or driven out by a mistake, no matter whether he is alive or dead, rich or poor, he has nothing to do with the building, and he doesn't want to do it, and he doesn't disturb each other!

"What are you doing here, don't you want to do business at night?"

"Mother Zhao!"

"Mother Zhao!"

It was an old woman about fifty years old, with a bamboo cane in her hand, who slowly walked out of the door, and everyone saluted after seeing her, and then hurried back to the building, ignoring the dogs!

Mother Zhao is the person next to Yuji Niangniang, Yuji Niangniang followed her when she was still a Qing Qi person, and she was quite trusted by Yuji Niangniang, and most of the girls in this building were trained by this old woman!

"Come in with me, Niang Niang wants to see you!"

Mother Zhao said after glancing at the dog and the baby in his arms.

"Yes, thank you Mama Zhao!"

The dog was overjoyed and quickly stood up, but as soon as he got up, he felt that his eyes were black, and he almost fell to the ground again.

Fortunately, Zhao's mother reached out and gave her a hand, otherwise she would have to fall and bleed this time!

"Be careful!" Zhao's mother said with a slight frown.

"Thank you Mother Zhao, the dog is dirty!" After thanking the dog, he gently avoided Mother Zhao's hand, for fear of soiling her!

"Hmm~ Come in with me!" Zhao's mother didn't care about the dog's words, and just led the way in front of the head.

In fact, there is no need for Zhao's mother to lead the way, and the dog is really familiar with this building.

After all, I grew up here for the first ten years, but at this moment, although things are, people are no longer human!

The originally familiar building brought her a strange sense of alienation!

In the side hall next to the main hall of the building, the dog saw Yu Ji Niangniang, a half-aged in her thirties.

Although he is a little older, he is still graceful and charming, and it is not difficult to imagine that he must be a rare beauty when he is young!

Although he has lived in Cuiluo Building for nearly ten years, the number of times the dog has seen Yuji Niangniang is only a handful, and this is a master who does not walk around the building for a long time!

Xu saw a lot of guests when he was young, so naturally he didn't want to see those pickled goods again!

It's just that she was born in a brothel in a green house, and her life in this life has been firmly tethered, and Yuji Niangniang's fate is actually good.

I heard from others that when Luo Niangniang picked her up, the owner of Cuiluo just glanced at it, sighed, and then ignored it, neither agreeing nor objecting!

"If I remember correctly, you are the baby girl that Rui'er picked up back then, I have already released you out of the building, why do you want to come back today?"

Yu Ji Niangniang picked up the tea cup and took a sip before asking.

The Rui'er in her mouth is Luo Niangniang's maiden name, but this name has not been mentioned for many years!

The dog gently placed the baby boy on the ground and slammed his head on the ground!

"The dog is here today, I just want to ask Yuji Niangniang for help!"

Yuji Niangniang glanced at the baby boy next to the dog and suddenly laughed!

"Hehehe! Rui'er raised it, just like her, a fool, you're already a beggar yourself, do you still have the heart to carry an oil bottle?"

The dog lay on the ground, and when he heard this, his body trembled slightly, and then he gritted his teeth and said:

"Dog, please help Yuji Niangniang!"

The words were closed, and the dog's head slammed heavily on the floor, thumping!

Yuji Niangniang looked at the dog in front of her, and inexplicably remembered the girl who was holding the baby girl more than ten years ago, just like that!

I couldn't help but be dumbfounded, I couldn't say a word again!

After a long time, Yu Ji Niangniang sighed deeply: "Okay, don't knock it again, otherwise my floor will be stained with your blood!"

"You ......" the dog raised his red forehead and looked at Yu Ji Niangniang!

"Twenty taels of silver, from now on, no matter whether you live or die, don't come again!" Yu Ji Niangniang said.

"Thank you Yuji Niangniang, the dog promises that I will never bother again in the future, and I will try my best to repay this money in the future!"

"Hehe, let's live first, Mother Zhao, I'm sorry for you!" Yu Ji Niangniang sneered, turned her head to Mother Zhao and said.

......

"I'm afraid you're going to lose your money!"

Not long after the dog left with Zhao's mother, a warm voice interrupted Yuji Niangniang, who was in a trance!

A handsome man in his twenties lifted the bead curtain and entered the side hall!

"Mr. Gu, did you hear everything?"

"My room is just a wall away from this side hall, and it's hard not to hear it!"

What is the name of this Mr. Gu, Yuji Niangniang doesn't know very well, only knows his surname Gu!

This person is also strange, about three months ago lived in the Cuiluo Building, but the shot is generous, but only eat and housing, never recruit girls to accompany him, as if this fireworks land is like an inn!

There have also been girls who have come into his room in the name of delivering wine and food to offer themselves pillow seats, and he does not refuse, but it is only a cup of tea, and these girls will definitely come out as they are, but they will often get some reward in their hands.

After going back and forth like this, this Mr. Gu's monthly expenditure is much more than that of ordinary prostitutes, and he doesn't care much about it!

And what's even more strange is that he has nothing to do to teach some girls who can't read and write to read and write, and after a long time, most of the girls who can't write in the building have studied with him, although many people are running for the gold and silver distributed after his professor!

That's it, everyone knows that there is a strange person in Cuiluo Building who teaches girls to write and has a generous hand, Mr. Gu!

"I'm afraid it disturbed your purity, Yu Ji is here to make amends!"

After speaking, Yuji Niangniang got up and bowed!

"It's okay, it's okay, but don't you feel sorry for you to give this money to that girl? After all, I'm afraid that this money won't come back in the future! It's not easy for you to make money. ”

"If you don't go back, you are both a low-class ninth-rate, and when you can help you, you can help out, and it can be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good deeds for yourself!

"Well, it's rare that you have good thoughts in your heart!" Mr. Gu gave a thumbs up when he heard this!

"Haha! Shannian, for so many years, you are the first to comment on me like this, Mr. Gu, if there is nothing else, Yu Ji will retire first!"

"Oh, you're light!" Mr. Gu stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please!

When Yuji Niangniang walked out of the side hall, Mr. Gu suddenly asked, "Is the child called a dog?"

......

When the dog returned to the "residence" with a light rain, it was already dark.

Xiaoyu is the name that the dog gave to the child, because it was picked up on a rainy night!

During the day, I got Luo Niangniang's silver, and the dog took Xiaoyu to find Langzhong, but fortunately it was only a fever, and there was no major problem.

Lang Zhong first used a needle to reduce the fever, and then prescribed a few more doses of medicine.

This Lang Zhong is also a kind-hearted old man, and when he sees them, he asks them to go to his shop every day to take medicine, and he will fry them well.

The dog came out of Langzhong with a thousand thanks, and used the remaining money to buy a blanket and a jar of fresh milk, and then went back to his place!

At this moment, Xiaoyu was lying in the dog's arms with a pair of big black and shiny eyes, and the self-heating subsided, and the kid woke up, but he was very well-behaved, not crying or making trouble!

"Xiaoyu, be hungry, good, sister, I'll feed you!" the dog looked at Xiaoyu and said.

She held Xiaoyu in one hand and scooped out a small spoonful of milk from the crockpot with the other hand and fed it to Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu was really well-behaved, and it didn't take much effort to drink the milk in the spoon.

After feeding the light rain, the sky has completely darkened, and the dog gently put the light rain on top of the blanket and covered it tightly, not daring to let him get cold again!

Do these things, she leaned lightly against the wall, gasping slightly, this day of tossing, she was even more physically and mentally exhausted when she was not very good.

After breathing a sigh of relief, the dog took out the remaining dry and hard steamed buns from last night from his arms and slowly gnawed them, even so, he could only eat half of them!

In fact, there is still some silver left for Yu Ji Niangniang, but she doesn't dare to use it anymore, keep it, maybe she can save her life in the future!

"So little girl, you're here, it's really easy for me to find!" a man's voice came abruptly!

The dog suddenly raised his head, only to see a handsome boy in his twenties looking at him with a smile!

"Who are you?" said the dog, quietly clenching the wooden staff beside him!

The man naturally noticed the dog's small movements, but he didn't care, he sat cross-legged beside the dog, and he didn't dislike the dirt all over the ground!

"Go to the side, it's not very comfortable to sit like this!" seemed to be too small, and the man was a little panicked, so he spoke.

"Uh~" The dog couldn't figure out the man's path for a while, so he subconsciously moved to the side, and took advantage of the situation to hide the light rain behind him!

"Your name is a dog?" the man asked, settling comfortably and then asking.

"Yes!" For some reason, after the man spoke, the dog actually relaxed his vigilance against him and subconsciously answered!

"Raised by a prostitute in Cuiluo Building?"

"Yes!" the dog's eyes darkened suddenly!

"Have you ever studied?"

"Just a few words. ”

"A beggar now?"

"Hmm!"

"You picked up the kid?"

"Yes!"

"Can you feed him?"

"I don't know, I want to try!"

"Hehehe, living so hard, it is really rare to still have good roots!"

The man smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at the dog gently!

"Let me ask you another question, although you have only lived for more than ten years, you are difficult and poor, and the future is bleak, can you ever think about it...... Die?"

"Naturally...... Thought of it!"

"That'...... Why don't you die?"

"Because of him!" said the dog, pointing to the baby boy in the blanket.

"Oh?" the man looked into the dog's eyes, and the memories of the dog last night were presented in his mind!

"I see, but even if he barely survives, he is destined to beg with you in the future, no dignity, no future, precarious, walking dead, is it really meaningful to live like this?"

"I don't understand what the meaning of life you mean is, but for me, living is the biggest thing I have now, what kind of future and dignity you are talking about, as long as you can live, I can do it all!"

"Is it worth it? Do you have to throw away a lot of things that are important to people just to survive? You must know that some things are easy to lose, but it is difficult to pick them up!"

"I was born with my life, but I can be light, cheap, and humiliated, but I can't give up on myself!"

When these words came out, the man's body shook suddenly, as if he couldn't believe that this sentence would come out of the mouth of a weak beggar.

A few words, magnificent!

For the first time, the man looked at the little beggar in front of him seriously, and he actually felt a special momentum from her!

Like the grass in the cracks of the stones, like the trees by the cliffs, difficult and difficult, struggling and unyielding, and not giving up their lives!

"You...... Would you like to be my apprentice?"
