Chapter 4: Two Children

Secular, Taoyuan Town.

The white clouds in the sky are long, a piece of peace, and the smoke wind blows, tugging at the heartstrings. It's early summer, the weather is pleasant, and everything is full of life after the germination period of spring.

Taoyuan Town is not prosperous, but people from all walks of life have it. The street in the middle of the town is called Shenghua Street, and it connects many alleys. The streets are full of people, and it's quite lively. Many businessmen have taken a fancy to the high flow of people on this street and have set up shops on both sides of the street. Because of this, this street became the main street.

On Shenghua Street, a child in coarse cloth clothes walked aimlessly down the street. The child looked a little thin, but his shy little face had faded from immaturity, revealing a maturity that children do not have. He walked and watched, as if looking for something.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he slowly stopped and looked up at a restaurant.

"Shengcai Hotel, this is it. The kid patted his pocket, as if he had made up his mind. He entered the restaurant and said to himself, "This seems to be a newly opened restaurant, but I didn't expect that I was lucky, and the first time I ate in the restaurant was in the new restaurant." He grinned, a little silly, but innocent, and perhaps something to be happy about.

"What do you order?" the restaurant guy asked impatiently when he saw that he was dressed in tatters.

"Boss, press what is written on this," the kid said with some excitement, and handed the restaurant guy a piece of paper, on which only three dishes and two steamed buns were written.

The guy at the restaurant looked at the dish written on the piece of paper, glanced at him again, his face was full of disdain, and his mouth muttered, "Can you afford to eat like this?" The boy seemed to see something, and said, "Are you afraid that I don't have any money, I can pay you first." ”

With that, he put his hand in his pocket and took out all the copper coins several times: "This is what I have saved for four months, just right, you can count them." ”

The fellow counted them one by one for a long time, took away all the copper coins, and complained as he went: "Sure enough, he is a poor ghost, and all five silver coins have to be replaced by fifty copper coins, and I have been counting them for a long time." ”

It was a long time before the man brought the meal, and before leaving, he snorted coldly at the child, full of contempt.

The child didn't care, he rubbed his hands and picked up a pair of chopsticks: "I must treat myself well for my birthday, I haven't eaten enough for several months, and I must have a good meal today." ”

The child picked up the chopsticks and was about to start, when an uninvited guest came.

A dirty child walked up to him, about the same age as him, he looked at the table full of food, his eyes seemed to be shining, and then he looked at the child and said: "Ah, brother's food is good, it is very dangerous for you to wander alone in the rivers and lakes, I am familiar with you at first sight, why don't you sit down to eat and chat together, what do you think? My name is Jian Tian, thank you for your care." What do you call you, little brother?" and sat down.

The kid listened to Blade Tian's words, his face was stunned, he was completely blinded by Blade Heaven's incoherent words, and he subconsciously replied: "My name is Blade Blade." ”

"Ah, you and I are so close in name, you and I know this providence. With that, Blade Heaven held Blade's hand and shook it very hard. Then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and then immediately converged.

Blade Sky looked at Blade and exclaimed in surprise: "Brother, why is your face so dirty!"

Blade Feng looked puzzled: "I deliberately washed my face this morning, how can it be dirty?"

Blade Tian shouted eagerly, "On the right side of your face, there is a big dirty mass. ”

Blade subconsciously touched the right side of his face with his hand and asked, "Is this it?"

Jian Tian seemed to be in a hurry: "A little to the left, a little later, a little more to the right." Blade asked, touching his face under Blade Sky's description.

Blade Tian took out a mirror, as if it had been prepared in advance: "You see for yourself." With that, he handed the mirror to Blade.

The blade was surprised: What's the matter, I don't remember what I touched on my face.

"Wash up quickly, or you'll be ashamed." Blade Sky said. Blade relieved himself from his surprise and walked outside.

As soon as Blade Feng left, Blade Tian couldn't help laughing, he almost laughed: "Hahahaha, no, I'm laughing to death, hahaha, this guy is so easy to deceive." Since you're not here, you're welcome. I'll run after eating, anyway, you've paid, see what you do, but this dish is too careless, forget it, it's going to be a bit. Hey, hey, hey. Blade wiped his dirty hands on his clothes and ate without regard to his image.

In fact, everything was calculated by Blade Tian, and he shook his hand vigorously at the beginning, in order to completely rub the dirt on his hand into Blade's hand. Originally, there was nothing on Blade's face, but the hand that had held Blade Heaven touched his face, and he was instructed to touch it all over, which was dirty enough.

Blade Blade walked out of the restaurant and found a place to wash his face, he picked up the water and was about to wash it, when he saw that he had a clean left hand on one side and a dirty right hand on the other, and immediately understood everything.

"That guy went too far. He was just about to enter the restaurant when he saw a piece of grass hanging from Blade Sky and heading towards an alley on Shenghua Street.

Blade was furious: "You liar, stop me." ”

As soon as Blade Tian heard this voice, he knew that Blade Feng was chasing after him, but he didn't look back, threw away the grass in his mouth, and ran into the depths of the alley: "Cut, when I'm stupid, the ghost will be stupid enough to stand and be caught by you." ”

Blade Blade was furious: "You ate my food, I'm not done with you." With that, he rushed towards the blade with all his strength.

Jian Tian glanced back: "I'm obedient, don't you want to be so powerful, forgive me, big brother, I'll just eat your meal, don't worry, I won't eat you for nothing, I will cover you if something happens in the future." ”

When Feng Feng heard this, he was angry: I saved for three months just to celebrate my birthday, but it was all mixed up by you, and I changed the sentence "I will cover you in the future" for a meal, phew, I have to catch you today.

Jian Tian shouted as he ran: "Let me go, don't exercise vigorously after eating, you chase me like this, it will hurt my stomach." ”

Blade was in no mood to pay attention to this out-of-tune guy, and he chased after Blade Sky with all his might.

After running more than a dozen alleys, Blade Tian stopped and lay next to the haystack next to him, panting, looking at Blade Feng chasing after him, he really couldn't run. He was still muttering in his heart: I can't run anymore, if I run again, I should vomit out everything I eat, and then I will eat it in vain.

Blade Blade caught up and grabbed Blade Tian's clothes, also gasping for breath, he hadn't eaten enough for a long time, and he couldn't stand much better than Blade Heaven at the moment.

Jian Tian was still panting, and said cheaply while panting: "Brother, you have chased me for eighteen alleys in a row, and now you are holding on to my clothes, what you know is that you are for a meal, and those who don't know think that you like me, and my reputation will be ruined in your hands if you don't get it right." ”

After hearing this, Blade Feng glared at Blade Sky fiercely: "Do you know, I did chores for others for three months for my birthday, and I haven't eaten a full meal for three months, just for a birthday, and I was all disturbed by you." Blade let go of Blade Sky, but the tears in his eyes kept rolling.

Blade Tian was at a loss when he saw it: "Don't cry, I'm quite guilty of you doing this, I don't know that you have a birthday, it wasn't intentional." Recently, there have been a lot of street children on the street, they are all younger than me, in order to help them, I haven't eaten for months, and when I saw that you ate so well, I couldn't help it...... Why don't I pay you a beating?"

Blade Feng listened to Blade Tian's words, and seemed to be a little soft-hearted, he let go of Blade Sky and glanced at Blade Heaven: "Come on, see that you are not as good as me, the left sleeve is half gone, and the right sleeve is still patched and patched." ”

Jian Tian glanced down at himself and stammered: "I deliberately leaked my arms to spend the summer, first to cool down, and secondly, to show off my almost perfect body." ”

Blade Blade glanced at him in disbelief.

Jian Tian was also embarrassed, he actually didn't believe it, he coughed twice: "It's a matter of your vision, I didn't even tell you the restaurant you chose, it's too bad." The rice is done, I feel scummy when I think about it, what tomato scrambled egg skin, potato stewed chicken bones, and fish fragrant meat foam, it's really bad, all affect your birthday mood. ”

Jian Tian paused and then said: "I can't afford to lose your birthday, but at least I have to let you have a meal, you are waiting for me here." ”

After that, Jian Tian ran out, and came back after a while, he handed Jian Tian four copper coins: "This money is enough to buy four steamed buns, two of us each, it can be regarded as making friends, I mean seriously, after eating your meal, I will cover you, I will talk to you." ”

Blade asked suspiciously, "Where did you get this money?"

Jian Tian picked up a piece of grass and put it in his mouth, and continued to lie down next to the haystack: "This is what I took from someone else. ”

Blade exclaimed in surprise: "You dare to steal money!"

Blade Tian hurriedly helpless Blade's mouth: "What is stealing money, this is called taking, besides, I just took four copper plates from him, and I managed to return the rest to him." I'm just here to celebrate your birthday, I think he has a lot of money, and it won't affect him anything. ”

Blade took out two copper plates and said, "Then you can't steal money, but it seems to be okay according to what you say." But the two of us have one steamed bun each, and you can return two more. ”

Jian Tian was almost choked to death by Blade Feng's words, he instantly bounced up from the grass and took out the grass in his mouth: "Big brother, I finally stole the wallet, no, I got the wallet, and finally secretly counted out four copper coins, and finally hung the wallet back for others, do you think my life is too hard, I was not caught, I feel very unhappy." Two more to return, have you considered my hard work. You have a big ability, you go, anyway, I won't go, hum. ”

Feng Feng scratched his head embarrassedly: "Okay, let's not take it as an example, I'll go buy steamed buns." ”

Blade Tian lay back next to the haystack next to him, looked at Blade Heaven's back and couldn't help laughing: "It's really an interesting fool, but this fool is quite likable." ”

After a while, Feng Feng came back with four hot steamed buns, handed them to Jian Tian and said: "Although you messed up my birthday, but for the sake of your kindness to help the children and invite me to eat steamed buns, I forgive you, I made you a friend, but you can't play me anymore." ”

Jian Tian took out a steamed bun, touched the steamed bun in Feng Feng's arms, and said heroically: "Good brother, righteous enough, heroic enough, I recognize you as a brother." ”

The two sat beside the haystack and ate steamed buns with a smile

Blade Tian asked, "How old are you?"

Blade Feng paused, as if he was a little sad, and said vaguely: "About ten years old." ”

Jian Tian smiled: "What do you mean, okay, in this case, I'm about eleven, from now on, I will be your eldest brother, and I will cover you if something happens." ”

Blade was speechless for a while, silently accepted, and said no more.

At this time, a very clear voice sounded from behind them: "It's not a good boy to buy steamed buns with other people's hard-earned money to eat, and enjoy their success here." ”

Blade Sky and Blade were panicked for a moment, and they looked behind them, where a tall middle-aged man dressed in white stood behind them, looking at them with a smile on his face.
