"Come and take a look, take a look, freshly baked buns! ”

"The best cloth clothes woven by Aunt Hong, the best dresser in this town, are on sale today, not 300 Wen, only 90 Wen!"

"Eh, the fresh watermelon in the field, it's red, big and fresh, come and take a look, buy it or not!"

"Selling fine silk satin, don't miss it when you pass by!"

Today is the day of the market, in the market of Huangliang Town, the vendors are shouting their goods, and the crowd is also crowded into a street, so lively!

There seemed to be a new wandering beggar in the crowd, with unkempt hair, dressed in a rough cloth garment with a few holes, hunched over, and his right foot disabled for some reason, limping down the street, his eyes seemed to be staring at something, like a lone wolf in the twilight scene, looking for prey to make a living, wandering silently around......

The people in the market were far away from the beggars, fearing that they would be stained with the stench of beggars, and the local beggars who stood around the corners of the market looked at the wandering beggar carefully, not knowing what to think......

In the bustling street market, a sudden change was ushered in!

"There's a thief, there's a thief stealing my fresh buns!

The merchant selling the steamed bun shouted loudly, while chasing the thief of the first bun, the two of them chased after me in the crowded bazaar, just when the thief was about to run away, the three local beggars who had been waiting for a long time blocked the thief's way, the thief who fled at full speed crashed into the local beggar, was bounced to the ground, and the buns that had just been grabbed also fell to the ground and scattered in all directions; the thief who reacted quickly picked up the buns, and when he was about to get up, the chasing vendor kicked the thief in the back of the head fiercely, and the thief fell to the ground again.

When the merchant selling steamed buns saw the thief on the ground, he walked away viciously and cursed: "Where did you come from, a stinky beggar who has no father and mother, and you dare to steal Lao Tzu's steamed buns! I think you are impatient!"

When the merchant saw the three beggars blocking the way, he took out a dozen pennies from his sleeve, spat out a mouthful of phlegm from the thief, and ordered: "You beat me hard! This kind of stinky beggar hurts my hand when he hits him, and he doesn't look at what he looks like, so he wants to eat steamed buns?

"Master, don't worry, I promise to satisfy you!"

One of the local beggars took the money, smiled flatteringly, and then motioned to the two companions, punched and kicked the thief, and said sharply from time to time: "Don't look at your identity, a lame beggar, and dare to steal the master's buns!"

As everyone knows, the three of them are also beggars......

After fighting like this for a long time, the vendor, who had eased up for a while, asked the three beggars to stop, perhaps because they were afraid that they would be arrested by the yamen if they were killed, or perhaps because they were soft-hearted, and the crowd of onlookers speculated about each other from beginning to end.

It wasn't until the people in the market gradually dispersed and they all went home that the wandering beggar who had been lying on the ground finally stood up slowly, looked at the bun that had been protected by death on his chest, showed a smile, and limped through dozens of alleys, crossed two bridges, and stopped at the deserted temple three miles outside the town, where it was already night, and there was only the occasional sound of cicadas around the silence......

The wandering beggar knocked lightly on the temple door three times, only to see a female beggar wearing a loose dress, a face like a black mud ball, and a rough cloth dress with sewing and mending opened the temple door, her eyes seemed to be closed, and she still needed a wooden cane to walk in the temple, and said a little pale and weak: "Are you back?"

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

The wandering beggar's two hands seemed to be gesturing with something, and the female beggar seemed to be able to see the gesture of the wandering beggar with her eyes closed, and said with some joy: "Yes, you stole food today!"

"Forehead, Forehead, Forehead!"

As he spoke, the wandering beggar slowly took out three dusty and flattened buns from the rough cloth clothes, and handed them to the female beggar, she did not take the buns, her right hand gently stroked his palm, and her eyes couldn't help but cry: " It was I who harmed you, and made you and me suffer like this, and you are like this, and I have not woken up and lost my ears, but I have lost my eyes and cut off my hand; poor Senior Brother Hu, you have become mute and lame, and we and the other three are all crippled people, but we still have to wronged Senior Brother Hu, you go out every day to steal food and make a living! I am sorry for you, I should not have been so blind and arrogant in the first place! I am sorry for you, I am sorry for you!"

The three people in the temple are Song Yu, Hu Tu, and Xiaoyao, three years have passed since they woke up on the sixth step, and they were decadent for a while when they were still unable to accept the cruel truth, but the two who gradually accepted the reality decided to survive in this world.

Song Yu took advantage of the excellent soil around the temple to go to the town to cooperate with various vegetable market vendors, and made them the largest local vegetable supplier with the operation of the white wolf with empty gloves.

Just as the harvest was about to arrive, I don't know if it was God playing with man or providence, Huangliang Town ushered in the invasion of hundreds of thousands of locusts, and this year, all the places where crops were planted were spared!

Maybe it's because of Song Yu's personality charm, even if the first year of the rout, the vegetable market vendors in the town are still willing to cooperate with her, after all, the natural disasters in the first year are not human beings can decide, I thought that this year is the year of rise, who would have thought that the enemy army would attack, just one month, to occupy the three southwestern provinces, including Huangliang Town!

On the first day of the enemy's occupation, they began to forcibly scrape the people's fat and people's ointment, and the vegetable fields that Song Yu and others had been operating for a year were all requisitioned by them, and the leader of the leading team who was in charge of the expropriation at that time did not forget to viciously mock them when he left: "Just you, a blind man with a broken hand, are still trying to become a businessman? And this lame and dumb person, I heard that there is still a person who has lost his ears and is half dead? Take a good look at your identity, you who are born lowly are destined to become ants! Spread the order, in Huangliang Town, whoever cooperates with these three people will be killed!"

Since then, no one has cooperated.

Wake up from the temple, all the way to development, the bumpy journey is finally back to the starting point, when the rain rose, and sent someone to renovate the temple, but now, the temple is down again, as if to take care of them......

The hardship of life led Hu Tu to various places where coolies were recruited to seek survival, but he was rarely asked for him because he was lame and mute, and he was forced to beg in the streets, but within a few days he was beaten by local beggars and warned not to appear in this town.

Eventually, he became a thief, a lame thief......

"Amount, amount. ”

Hu Tu seemed to be comforting the crying Song Yu, and kept letting her eat the bun in her hand, and she looked at Xiaoyao who was sleeping on a simple bed made of thatch, looking at him who was not awake, Song Yu couldn't help crying: "Poor junior brother, in order to save you and me, I resisted the pressure of the fifth step alone, fell into an injury, and I have not woken up yet, I have found a famous doctor before, but I still can't save him, and now I still let him and me suffer such crimes!"

Hu Tu fell silent on the side, and after seeing Song Yu feeding the buns for Xiaoyao little by little, he walked out of the temple alone, leaned in front of the door, looked at the full moon in the night sky like a disc, and ate the buns in his hand, I don't know what he was thinking......

On the second day, it rained continuously......

The slightly cold autumn rain was dripping on the earth unhurriedly, and the road in front of the temple was a little muddy......

Tick tock......

Hu Tu, who was about to go out, heard the weak voice of Song Yu in the temple: "Don't go today." ”

"Sum, huh?"

"Hungry for a day, it's fine. ”

After that, Hu Tu sat in front of the door, staring at the countless pictures of the rain dripping on the stone stairs under the beams of the house, as if soundproofing the rain outside, and was demented......

On the second day, the autumn rain did not stop......

On the third day, the autumn rain was still in the ......

On the fourth day, the autumn rain lingered......

"Don't go today. ”

Song Yu's voice became weaker and weaker day by day, his face was pale and explicit, Hu Tu knew that Song Yu was for his good, and he couldn't bear to fall into the cold, but he hadn't eaten for four days, if he didn't eat secretly, they would starve to death here!

"Don't go. ”

"Sum, sum, sum!"

After Hu Tu finished the gesture very anxiously, he left a limping figure in the vast autumn rain and disappeared......

After Song Yu saw Hu Tu leave, his eyes were full of helplessness, as if he wanted to keep him, but he couldn't do anything, his footsteps were covered by the autumn rain, and he could only vaguely sense that the footsteps were getting smaller and smaller.

I don't know how long it has passed, after Song Yu confirmed that Hu Tu was gone, he covered his mouth with his right hand, as if he didn't want the breath in his throat to come out, but after all, he couldn't resist it, and coughed a few times, and a puddle of water that seemed to have a lump appeared in the palm of his right hand.

She knew it was blood.

Every time Hu Tu left, she would cough, getting worse and worse each time, until she coughed up blood three months ago, and she knew that she might have come to an end, but she never told Hu Tu about it.

Kneeling on the ground, looking up at the beams of the house, she smiled, a line of tears flowed from her left eye, and she didn't say anything for a long time......

It has become a freeze frame, a freeze frame of life.

The autumn rain outside the door is still falling, falling......

The silence shaped the streets, and the sound of the hooves of a group of horses trampling in the rain disrupted the beat of the autumn rain, and the army marched quickly through the town, whipping the horses with one whip after another, with only purpose in their eyes, ignoring the rain ahead......

In the rain ahead, there was a person walking, limping, looking for hope in the rain......

"Boom"

The first horse stopped for some reason, and the man on the horse looked at the bloody man who fell to the ground behind him, and said mercilessly: "Just a beggar, keep going!"

So saying, he whipped his horse and marched towards the city.

"Boom"

The steed barked again.

"Evil beast!"

"Bang! bang!"

The man whipped the horse with the thorn whip several times in a row, and the flesh and blood gradually blurred, and the sound of the horse did not stop, until the horse fell down after barking, and looked at the bloody man not far away, shed a tear, and then stopped the sound of Xiao Xiao......

"Lead the horse!"

The man commanded, and a soldier came out with a horse, and the man mounted his horse and commanded again: "Keep going!"

Then the army departed, and the autumn rain fell unhurriedly, and there was only one man and one horse in the empty streets, and the people who were sheltering from the rain on both sides of the street were discussing something with each other.

After a while, some men carried the horses away, and it was evident that the meat of the horses could be sold for a good price, and they quickly dismembered the corpses while the meat was still stiff.

And the blood of the bloody man, that is, after the people of the bazaar dispersed, still did not pay attention, and the blood of the bloody man slowly flowed to the uneven stone slabs of the street, and the bright red blood gradually melted into the rain, no longer bright red, but muddy......

At some point, a man walked up to the bloody man, folded his hands, and said, "Good, good." ”

After that, the ascetic left the market with the bloody man on his back, walked and walked, and came to the temple, the ascetic gently put the bloody man down, and when he was about to enter the door, he saw a woman kneeling in the middle of the temple, and a man sleeping on the thatched floor next to him, he walked over and gently touched the nostrils of the two people with his fingers in turn, and could only shake his head, put his hands together, and was silent for a long time......

On the fifth day, the autumn rain is gone, and a morning sun gradually rises in the east, like a new day descending on the world, and the herringbone geese spread their wings and fly farther into the sky......

In the mountain behind the temple, there are three more tombs without monuments, and the ascetic monk bows his head and bends his waist, but does not wipe the sweat off his face, folds his hands, and sighs: "Sad, sad, sad. ”

With that, he turned around and left to continue his spiritual journey......

Say:

As soon as he left the world, he dreamed like a butterfly flying.

The hills and ravines climb the clouds and shadows, and the green smoke continues to rain thin.

The cuckoo sings lonely leaves, and the maple falls and the stars return.

Winding around the muddy road, confused and drunk.
