Yin Lei was really embarrassed to go back, if Qingye Xiaohe and the others asked him what he was doing, Yin Lei really didn't know how to answer.
"Qinglong, what about the big meal you said?"
Ever since he knew that he would be a beggar for a month, Yin Lei was still counting on this meal to fill his stomach.
Chen Qinglong smiled: "Let's change our clothes first." ā
As he spoke, he took out two sets of tattered beggar clothes from his backpack and handed them to Yin Lei, and then he quickly took out a bottle of potion and wiped it on his body a few times, and his exposed skin immediately turned an unhealthy yellow-brown, and then he put these clothes on.
In the end, Chen Qinglong wrapped up his clothes and threw them to the side, Yin Lei knew that there would definitely be a master secretly protecting Chen Qinglong's haunts, and someone would naturally take away the clothes.
So he also learned from Chen Qinglong to smear some potion on his body and change his clothes, fortunately, Yin Lei was born in the countryside since he was a child, and he was used to wearing similar tattered clothes.
Suddenly, Yin Lei felt that something was wrong, did they want to wear this dress to a big meal?
Just as Yin Lei was hesitating to ask, a small village appeared not far in front of him after turning a corner.
"Vertical and horizontal, pretending to have weak limbs, such a strong beggar will not be able to ask for food."
Then the breath on Chen Qinglong's body changed, and even his walking posture became weak, looking like he hadn't eaten for three days, Yin Lei also hurriedly followed according to the gourd painting.
After a while, the two came to a steamed bun shop in this village, only to see Chen Qinglong lying in front of the store with a 'poof', and then a terrible scream sounded: "Kind boss, save our brother." ā
Yin Lei really couldn't do such a thing, so he had to sit not far away and peek at this side with his head down, looking at Chen Qinglong's exaggerated expression, Yin Lei's face couldn't help but twitch.
Hearing the sound outside the door, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl was immediately snatched out, and when she saw Chen Qinglong lying in front of the door, she couldn't help but be stunned, then turned her head and ran back and shouted: "Daddy...... Two people came outside the door asking for food. ā
Immediately, there was the sound of sturdy footsteps inside, and then a middle-aged man in his thirties came out of it.
He still had a wet face on his hands and an apron on his body, and after going out, he saw Chen Qinglong lying on the ground, and then said angrily: "I hate you people who have hands and feet and are physically strong but don't want to make progress, a good man doesn't go to work but comes to ask for food, I don't have spare food for you to eat." ā
Hearing this person's words, Chen Qinglong cried loudly: "This uncle, you can do it, our brother is not a beggar, since our brother was robbed of all the silver taels five days ago, we haven't eaten for four days, we only started to ask for food yesterday, but people see that we are strong and don't give us anything to eat, if you don't give us something to eat today, we may not live tomorrow." ā
Listening to Chen Qinglong's words, this person frowned, Chen Qinglong immediately said as soon as he saw that there was a door: "This uncle, we will not eat your things in vain, as long as we have a full meal and rest for a day or two, our brothers can do any work, as long as you give us a stutter, we would rather stay here in the future and work for you for a long time." ā
After listening to Chen Qinglong's words, a small head turned out behind the person, it was the girl who had just entered the house, and I saw her gently pull the corner of her father's clothes and said, "Dad, they are also pitiful, let's give them something to eat." ā
"Alas...... The eight layers that this man said were false, but ...... Forget it, we can't be poor if we give them a few steamed buns, so the girl goes to make ten steamed buns. ā
The girl immediately turned around and ran back, and a moment later she came back with a bag of steamed buns.
"These ten steamed buns are for you, what you just said is true, and I don't need you to repay it, if it is false, you will starve to death in front of me in the future, and I will not give us another steamed bun, okay, you go."
Chen Qinglong was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you kind master, you will be rewarded, little girl, thank you, I wish you more and more beautiful."
Saying that, Chen Qinglong couldn't help but reach out and take a steamed bun and bite it hard, then he turned around and ran to Yin Lei's side and said, "Brother, the big meal is coming, hurry up and eat." ā
Hearing Chen Qinglong's words, Yin Lei couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that this was a big meal.
On the other side, the middle-aged man had already turned around and went back, and the little girl looked at Yin Lei and the others curiously and went back.
"Qinglong, this is the feast you are talking about?"
"Hey...... I can tell you responsibly that there is not much time left for you to eat something like this in the coming month, and it will definitely be a big meal. ā
After looking at Chen Qinglong blankly for a while, Yin Lei suddenly stretched out his hand and snatched the steamed bun and said, "Since it's a big meal, then I'm welcome." ā
Chen Qinglong couldn't help but say: "Brother, you are too unparticular, this is lunch for the two of us, not for you alone, my food for this month is provided by you." ā
"Your hard work for this meal has been perfected, not to mention a month, even a year will not be difficult for you, and I just need these steamed buns to eat for a few days to buffer it, otherwise you want me to go hungry to study?"
"It's just that you can learn quickly when you're hungry."
"Hey...... If you don't have food, you're hungry, so if you go out a few more times, I can have more opportunities to study. ā
"Zongheng, you're too cunning."
"Each other, each other."
After listening to Yin Lei's words, Chen Qinglong hatefully threw all the remaining steamed buns in his hand into his mouth, and then said: "According to my experience, before you reach the end of the mountain, you will not really go out to ask for food, if you delay for a few more days, you will be a beggar for a few more days." ā
As he spoke, he turned away to the east.
ā¦ā¦
Five days later, in the afternoon, two beggars came to Mochizuki Town, more than ten miles west of Zhenxing Town, these two people were sturdy, except for the flowers they were wearing, they didn't look like they were asking for food, and such people could also ask for food? It's no wonder if you don't starve to death.
Sure enough, people are iron and steel, and an ordinary and sturdy young man who walked in front of him said while walking weakly: "Qinglong, I haven't eaten all day, shouldn't you take out something to eat?" ā
It turned out that this person was Yin Lei, and his three cents turned into six snow-white steamed buns the day before yesterday and were eaten by the two, which was also the only money that could be used to buy things, and Yin Lei's own money was not allowed to be spent.
Chen Qinglong snorted lightly when he heard this: "I said that my food is provided by you, and you want me to ask you something to eat?" No way. ā
"So you're trying to make it longer than anyone else with me?"
"Hmph...... Don't think that I don't know that your 'fetal breathing technique' has become a small success, and you won't starve to death if you don't eat for ten days or eight days, but don't forget, the initiative is here, and if you make me hungry again, I will let you be a beggar for an extra month, and the emergency training course in the future will be safe until you come back from the War General Academy. ā
Listening to Chen Qinglong's words, the corners of Yin Lei's mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile, yes, how can a person not bow his head under the eaves?
"Alas...... It's a hard life. ā
Yin Lei couldn't help but sigh, Chen Qinglong snorted and continued: "Are you still miserable?" I'm really miserable, you will be a beggar for a month, but I will accompany each of you for a month, huh. ā
Yin Lei listened to it for a while, and then smiled: "Yes, it turns out that there are still people who are not as good as mine, and now my heart is balanced." ā
"You ......."
"I'll go and give you something to eat."
Along the way, Yin Lei had made up his mind to ask for food no less than a hundred times, but every time it came to the end, he couldn't help but retreat, and it was only then that Yin Lei realized how difficult it was to open his mouth to ask others for stuttering.
As Chen Qinglong said, if you are not hungry to a certain extent, ordinary people will not be able to open this mouth, unless this person is a genius in asking for food, but it is obvious that Yin Lei is not a genius in this regard.
Under Chen Qinglong's gaze and encouragement, Yin Lei finally gritted his teeth and came to a relatively handsome woman selling baked cakes.
"Would you like a pancake?"
"......."
"Two pennies, how many do you want?"
This woman did not despise Yin Lei because of his dress, which made Yin Lei feel confident in his heart.
"I ...... If you don't have money, can you ...... To give...... I...... Give me a ....... ā
Yin Lei finally gritted his teeth and didn't finish speaking, just half of a simple sentence made Yin Lei sweat profusely, this is really more difficult than fighting with the sword immortal.
But as soon as Yin Lei finished speaking, the woman's face had changed and she shouted, "Get out...... Don't you have money to find your wife happy? Roll ...... Half a step late lady breaks your dog's leg. ā
Yin Lei immediately went back dejected like a deflated ball, Chen Qinglong next to him was already smiling, he pointed at Yin Lei and said: "Zongheng, it is not easy to be alone with a woman who comes out to do business, otherwise there are ruffians and hooligans everywhere, if they are really honest, how can they survive?" ā
Yin Lei listened and said, "You mean...... They are like wild boars that have been separated from the herd, and the lone pig is the most dangerous. ā
"It's pretty much the same thing, remember, different people use different methods."
In fact, in the past five days, Chen Qinglong has demonstrated to Yin Lei no less than ten times how to get food from different types of people, and every time he will carefully analyze the causes and consequences for him, but Yin Lei will be nervous and forget all about it every time it comes, and Yin Lei has to admit that asking for food is really a science.
After trying to calm down, Yin Lei and the others had a new goal after walking around the street, which was a little girl who sold tofu at the age of twelve or thirteen.
"Little sister, I ...... I'm hungry, can you give me a block...... Give me a block...... Tofu to eat. ā
After listening to Yin Lei's words, the little girl's eyes were red, and tears immediately flowed, Yin Lei was taken aback and said: "Little sister, I'm not robbing things, if you don't give it, forget it, can't I go?" Don't cry. ā
Yin Lei turned around and ran away, he had to admit that he had failed, and at the same time, Yin Lei also understood Chen Qinglong's hard work, it was really not easy to defeat his self-esteem.
A little girl who sells roasted sweet potatoes, before Yin Lei cheered herself up again and again.
"Little girl, can you ...... Give me...... After me a sweet potato...... Sweet potatoes to eat. ā
Looking at the twisted little girl Yin Lei's expression, she lowered her head and said, "I don't dare, if I can't sell twenty dollars today, my mother will beat me again." ā
Yin Lei listened to it and said, "If you can't sell it, you will be beaten?" ā
"I can't sell it, the whole family has nothing to eat at night, my father broke his leg while working for Master Huang's house, my younger brother and sister are still young, and the whole family is pointing at me and my mother."
As she spoke, the little girl couldn't help but weep softly.
