Xiao Bale pulled Zhao Jiu and said, "Hehe, what a coincidence!" Come, come, come, tell me how old you are, where you're from, where you're going, and where you're going—"

Zhao Jiu saw that the two brothers had no intention of driving him away, and his heart relaxed a little. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 He remembered a little longer, and first asked tentatively, "Do you know Wutang Village?" ”

"Wutang Village, where is it?"

"I haven't heard of it!"

Zhao Jiu hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether to tell the truth or not, Xiao Ba was anxious and urged: "You go on, I'll listen!" Zhao Jiu turned his heart and said, "That's where I came from!" ”

The little seven and eight brothers, you look at me and I look at you, and they asked together, "Then what?" ”

The two brothers looked younger than Zhao Jiu, but they were much more experienced than him, and Zhao Jiu didn't know what to say and what not to say, so he simply said: "You ask, I will tell you everything I know!" ”

"You're here alone?"

"Hmm!"

"How did you get here?"

"Let's go!"

"How long have you been gone?"

"It's the twelfth day!"

"Did your family know that you had run so far?"

"My mother died when I was born, my father died early, and there was no one in the family for a long time!" Zhao Jiu looked at the two brothers, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he said, "I don't have any brothers and sisters, I'm the only one left in the family!" The old house my father left me the year before last was burned down, and I have no home! ”

Xiao Qi Xiaoba was stunned, and Xiao Ba opened his mouth first and asked, "Then how did you live your life, and why did you run out?" ”

Zhao Jiu hadn't said so much to anyone since he ran out of Wutang Village, and seeing that Xiaoqi Xiaoba was not a particularly vicious person, he told the brothers about him seeing Zhu Fugui forcing the lotus flower to fall to the ground instead of him, and didn't want Xiaoba to be moved to tears, he patted Zhao Jiu's shoulder and said: "Righteous enough, it's a man!" I admit you brother! ”

The night gradually deepened, Xiao Qi boiled the rice he begged for in a pot of thin porridge, and the three of them gathered around the pot to hula and hula and drank happily. Zhao Jiu didn't have a cover, so Xiao Qi Xiaoba brought the pile of hay over and made a bunk, and the three of them huddled together, each talking about their past.

Xiao Qi and Xiao Hachi are indeed brothers, but Xiao Qi is more docile, and Xiao Hachi is more powerful. About eight years ago, there was a plague in the hometown of the two brothers, and many people died, and the father and mother of the little seven and eight were lost in the plague, and the brothers have been displaced with the people who have fled since then. Xiao Qi is the elder brother, the eldest is one year old, Xiao Qi took care of him when Xiao Ba was young, and when he found food, he gave Xiao Ba to eat first, and Xiao Qi was not as tall as his younger brother Xiao Ba Gao as an elder brother. Watching the little seven and eight brothers fall asleep playfully, Zhao Jiu thought of Huahua, and he didn't know what happened to the lotus.

On the second day, Zhao Jiu woke up early, he couldn't be idle, so he started to clean up the ruined temple. Xiao Ba opened his eyes and was stunned for a while, suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly stopped Zhao Jiu and said, "Don't be tidy, it's not the habit of our beggars to be so clean—"

"Little Eighth Brother, what are you talking about the Beggar Gang?"

"Ah, you don't even know how to mix in the rivers and lakes in the future!" Xiao Ba beckoned to Zhao Jiu again and again: "Come here, I'll give you a good talk!" ”

According to Xiaoba, the beggar gang is the gang of beggars in the world, so isn't the beggar gang the largest gang in the world? But why did Mr. Qin never tell their story? Although Zhao Jiu had doubts in his heart, he was also very grateful to Xiaoba for his sincere treatment. Because the two asked Zhao Jiu last night, and Zhao Jiu didn't know where he was going, Xiao Qi Xiaoba invited him to join the beggar gang together. When you join the beggar gang, you are a beggar, and the beggar is called Hanako, and everyone dislikes it. Zhao Jiu was a little hesitant, but he had no long things, and he couldn't find any other way for a while, so he responded after thinking about it. As a beggar, joining the beggar gang is like having a talisman, as long as you don't block other people's business, others will not dare to drive and beat them at will.

Eighty-two years old and a half, Zhao Jiu is almost fifteen, Xiao Qi is in the middle, and at the suggestion of Xiao Ba, the three of them learn from the heroic characters and become brothers. The three of them were so poor that Zhao Jiu used the money given by the kind young lady yesterday to buy six vegetarian buns, and Xiao Qi Xiaoba didn't know where to pick a few fruits, and the three of them put the things on the offering table in front of the Bodhisattva, and burned three branches instead of incense candles.

"The Bodhisattva is above, I'm Zhao Jiu-"

"I'm Little Seven—"

"I'm Hachi-"

"Although we have two surnames, we are brothers from today onwards! Brothers share blessings and hardships! I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day! ”

The three of them learned to repeat the righteous words they heard, kowtowed to the Bodhisattva three times, and one of them divided two buns and sat on the ground and ate them.

"Brother Jiu, the buns are so delicious! Right, brother? ”

Xiao Qi lovingly divided half of the bun to Xiao Ba, and said, "You eat more!" ”

Xiaoba took half of the bun given by his brother, and gave half of the bun he was biting to his brother, and said vaguely: "Brother, you taste me, it's different from yours-"

"Aren't they all buns, what's the difference!"

"It's just different! If you eat, you'll know—"

After eating breakfast lively, Xiaoba was so happy that he rolled on the bunk, and Xiaoqi called: "Hurry up, there is still a routine to pay this month!" ”

Zhao Jiu didn't know much about the rules of the beggar gang, so he asked, "What is the routine?" Isn't it all about someone else giving something to Hanako? ”

Xiao Qi responded: "Brother Jiu, that routine is usually handed over by every gang, and if there is anything in the gang after handing it over, the gang will cover us!" Look at this sack that Xiao Hachi and I are wearing - the more sacks on our bodies, the older our qualifications and higher our status, and Xiao Hachi and I are one of the disciples in the gang, so there is only one sack on our bodies! Brother Jiu, there are a lot of rules in the gang, if you don't understand anything, just ask me and Xiaoba, don't pretend to understand! ”

Xiao Ba touched a fruit and said while biting: "Brother Jiu, our gang is divided by the rudder, our piece belongs to Dayong to divide the rudder, but the rudder is not here, in Pingyang City, it is quite far from here, and it will take about ten days and a half to get there!" I heard that the **** master Chang Xiang said that the helmsman of the rudder will come in a few days, I think about it, and when he goes back, I will ask him to take us together! ”

Zhao Jiu was puzzled, and asked suspiciously: "Isn't it good to stay here, why do you want to go so far away?" ”

"What a fart!" Xiaoba spit out the kernel, wiped his mouth, and complained: "The consul and the incense master don't work all day long, we are all supplying!" Especially the owner of Changxiang, there are not only good fields and big houses at home, but also long-term and short-term workers to call girls, obviously he is a big landlord, and there are a few families in this city who can be like him! ”

Xiao Qi suspected that his younger brother was talking nonsense, so he taught his younger brother with a straight face: "Little Ba, you don't say a few words, help the people talk a lot, beware of causing trouble!" ”

"Brother, you're just a good person, that's why you're always bullied by them!" Xiao Ba turned his head and asked Zhao Jiu what the girl who gave him money yesterday looked like, Zhao Jiu thought about it, talked to him carefully, and only heard Xiao Ba say: "Brother Jiu, why don't you know the situation in Nanshan County, there are many rich people in this county, but there are not many people who can generously send beggars." Brother Jiu, the girls of good families are not happy to come out and show their heads, and the ones who show up are either girls from poor families or sluts, the kind young lady you are talking about - I estimate that most of them are the top red warbler girls! ”
