Wang Xinggui brought a bowl of steaming noodles from the kitchen and handed it to Lu Xiaobai. Lu Xiaobai took it in his hand gratefully, and saw a bowl full of noodles with a large piece of fried brown egg fried in rapeseed oil. He was so hungry that his belly was pressed against his spine, and he couldn't wait to put the egg clip in his mouth with his chopsticks and chew it.

"I saw him wandering out alone, so I brought him back. Xiaohu, do you think using him as bait is more credible? Wang Xinggui squinted his eyes and said to the young man.

"Daddy, what do you mean?"

"yes, that's what it means!" Wang Xinggui couldn't wait to say.

"Where is he? If "Xiaohu seemed a little uneasy.

Wang Xinggui interrupted him and said, "Don't worry, it's from other places." ”

Lu Xiaobai was confused when he heard it, and he didn't know what they were going to do with him? But listening to the tone and knowing is not a good thing.

After Lu Xiaobai finished eating the noodles, Xiaohu found a piece of white cloth and a hemp rope, first wrapped a white cloth around Lu Xiaobai's head and tied it behind his head, and then tied his waist with hemp rope, told him to kneel in front of the "obituary", ordered him to lower his head, and finally Xiaohu took the small jar, photos, and cremation certificate and placed them in front of Lu Xiaobai's knees.

"Like, very like!" Wang Xinggui squinted his small eyes and said proudly, "I will definitely get more money!" ”

Lu Xiaobai seems to understand that they want to make themselves pretend to be the family members of the "deceased" in order to win the sympathy of others and donate. He stood up in indignation, feeling that this practice was really immoral!

Wang Xinggui changed his amiable style and said to Lu Xiaobai very sternly: "Little doll, listen well, you have to do things for me after eating my food!" If you dare to disobey the order, I will beat you hard! There are my eyeliners everywhere in this city, and even the police have been bribed by me, don't think of running away, even if you do, you can't escape the palm of my hand! If you really dare to run away, after being caught by me, I will break your legs, and let you crawl on the ground for the rest of your life when begging for money, you must always show a sad look, and at a critical time, it is best to shed a few tears in a decent manner, if others are suspicious, you should not panic, you must be calm - this is a critical eye, you can learn from me now, if you don't learn well, you are not allowed to sleep! ”

Lu Xiaobai felt straight in his heart, but he still resisted: "The teacher once taught me that I must be upright and upright, and I must be upright and bright, and I can't do things that are deceived and cheated; Old man, please let me go, don't you tell me to do this kind of thing? ”

Wang Xinggui slapped the coffee table, only to hear the sound of "pop", a glass cup bounced from the coffee table to the ground, broken, he angrily scolded: "You don't want to live anymore!" ”

Lu Xiaobai hit a spirit, he regretted coming with this old guy! He guessed that this old guy would definitely not let him go lightly!

Wang Xinggui thought for a while, a sly smile flashed in his eyes, and he squinted his eyes and said to Lu Xiaobai: "I used to be a teacher, just to teach students as old as you. However, the teacher is not a good thing, and he deliberately deceives students by saying unrealistic truths; As for the students, take what the teacher says as money."

"Good words." Xiaohu said from the side.

"Yes, yes, yes." Wang Xinggui hurriedly said.

The corners of Lu Xiaobai's mouth showed a disdainful smile, and he said in his heart that teachers are all knowledgeable, educated, and moral people, so he doesn't believe that this old guy has ever been a teacher!

Wang Xinggui not only did not feel ashamed, but boasted about the conch: "What is the most important thing for people to live in this world? Of course, money is the most important thing! Money can make ghosts grind, as long as you listen to my arrangement and do things for me seriously, I will give you half of the money I earn. When you have money, you can buy whatever you want, and live a comfortable life, isn't it good? ”

Lu Xiaobai thought that money is important, but it is not exactly as he said, "money can make ghosts grind", he knew that the "Wang Crooked Mouth" in his village once spent 10,000 yuan to buy a foreign woman as his wife, but unexpectedly, the woman quietly ran away on the wedding night, and he made a sad end of losing his wife and breaking his army, which made people laugh for a long time.

Wang Xinggui saw that Lu Xiaobai was silent, thinking that his words of "moving with affection and knowing with reason" touched his heartstrings and made him secretly change his ways, so he secretly rejoiced in his heart, he called Lu Xiaobai to his side, stroked his head with a "kind" face, and said softly: "Good, I am also thinking about you, you can learn the skills of making money now, right?" ”

Lu Xiaobai is very obedient on the surface, but he resists vigorously in his heart! He was bent on thinking about how to get rid of the old fellow's control, and he did this only to gain their trust and make them let their guard down so that they could wait for an opportunity to escape.

Wang Xinggui personally demonstrated, how to kneel on both knees, how to put his hands, and what Cheng dù to lower his head, there are strict training requirements, in short, to make people look presentable, respectful; Lu Xiaobai saw him pretending to kneel in front of the "obituary", and his smiling face changed in an instant - his face was sad, and two tears rolled out of his cloudy eyes, like a mourning exam, which was really a great acting talent.

Wang Xinggui ordered Lu Xiaobai to perform like him, and dictated the secret of how to perform vividly: "You have to try to think about sad things, so that your feelings will be shown on your face."

His "professor" made Lu Xiaobai very disgusted, but because of his fierce appearance, Lu Xiaobai did not dare to disobey.

"It's not right to kneel like this! Why don't you look a little 'sad' on your face when you lower your head? Adjust the feelings, I call you to adjust the feelings! Wang Xinggui kicked Lu Xiaobai impatiently.

Lu Xiaobai's heart was pounding, and he didn't dare to say anything, he felt that this old guy treated him like a dog, and he was very mean. He suddenly remembered that his mother had left him alone, causing him to suffer a lot of insults and bullying, and he couldn't help but feel sad and tears came out of his eyes.

"Great, that's it!" Wang Xinggui patted his thigh, squinted his eyes and said, "I have been in this business for more than ten years, and I have never met a talented person like you, and you can learn it!" ”

"Boy, you do a good job, I treat you as a godson!" Xiaohu also said excitedly.

Lu Xiaobai "succeeds in his studies" and is regarded as a baby by Wang Xinggui and Xiaohu. However, he did not have the slightest intention of being moved.

Lu Xiaobai was arranged to sleep in a room alone. The room was rudimentary, with nothing but a simple wooden bed and a black-lacquered cabinet. He doesn't care what's here, he just cares about how to get out tonight! As soon as he entered the house, he saw a window on the wall behind him, and the window was tightly covered by the curtains, so he couldn't see the situation behind him.

After Wang Xinggui walked out of the room, Lu Xiaobai closed the door and inserted the latch. Isolated from the old fellow, he let out a long breath. The thought of running away made him feel both excited and scared. He lifted the curtain and saw that the window was densely covered with finger-thick steel columns, with only a fist in the gap, and he sighed in frustration.

But he wasn't entirely discouraged, and he thought he could escape through the gate.

He turned off the lights and sat on the head of the bed for two hours, estimating that Wang Xinggui and Xiaohu were asleep, so he quietly opened the door and tiptoed out, not even daring to come out. The room was pitch black, and nothing could be seen, but he didn't dare to turn on the light, judging only by the general direction, and groped his way in the direction of the door.

When he was about to reach the door, his foot suddenly touched something, and this thing actually let out a rough breath, and then turned over, Lu Xiaobai was so frightened that he almost screamed. It turned out to be people! The person only subconsciously turned over in his sleep and did not wake up. Lu Xiaobai tiptoed back to the dormitory again, and found that he was already sweating.

Lu Xiaobai was not sleepy, he thought countless times that he would take the opportunity to escape when the old guy took him to beg.

After dawn, Wang Xinggui slapped the door panel hard and told Lu Xiaobai to get up quickly. After getting up, Duan Xinggui told him that he would take him out of the mountain today, hoping that he would behave well and return with a full load.

After eating the noodles, Wang Xinggui put the photos, jars, white cloth and other things in a black cloth bag, and set off with his son Xiaohu and Lu Xiaobai.

They took the bus for nearly an hour, and after getting off the bus, Wang Xinggui took his son and Lu Xiaobai to a bustling commercial street. There were several people begging along this shopping street, some with mutilated legs and feet, some with half body limbs, some old and frail, and even young mothers holding their babies in swaddling clothes, lying or kneeling, without exception, with a basin or a box or something like that in front of their chests, which contained a little zero coin. When they saw passers-by, some beggars kowtowed desperately and said things like "okay", and some simply pretended to be pitiful, silent, and waited for the rabbit.

Lu Xiaobai also discovered an interesting phenomenon, a half-paralyzed beggar squeezed his eyebrows at Wang Xinggui, and another elderly beggar also bowed slightly to him.

found a place with a lot of traffic, Wang Xinggui instructed Xiaohu to wrap a white cloth around Lu Xiaobai's head and tie hemp rope around his waist, Xiaohu also wrapped a white cloth around his head and tied hemp rope around his waist, he then took out the fake obituary, jar, photo, cremation certificate, and donation box generously and placed it, and then took out a knee pad and put it on the ground, and ordered Lu Xiaobai to kneel down with him.

Wang Xinggui stood ten meters away and looked around, as if he was "alone", and probably no one would have thought of associating him with the word "beggar".

Lu Xiaobai felt that it was not an exaggeration to use the word "liar" on the heads of the father and son, because they despicably took advantage of people's kindness to deceive and destroy social credit.

Lu Xiaobai took a closer look at the paper in front of him, the pen and ink on it was brand new, and the content on the paper he saw last night had changed slightly, changing "beloved wife Wang Yan" to "son's mother". He felt really embarrassed, and he was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

Due to the sunny weather, there are more and more pedestrians on the streets. Most people have long been accustomed to beggars and ignore them, but there are also some passers-by who do not know the truth who stop to read the "obituary", and pity arises spontaneously, and they have taken money to put it in the donation box. Seeing that someone was donating money, the kneeling Xiaohu said "sadly": "Thank you." ”

In less than two hours, more than 100 yuan was accumulated in the donation box. Lu Xiaobai remembers that among the fundraisers, there was an old lady with all white hair who put down a 50 yuan face value, and a skinny young man with glasses who threw down 20 yuan.

Lu Xiaobai knelt so numb that his legs were numb, he wanted to stand up and rest, but unexpectedly Xiaohu grabbed the corner of his clothes, and his body had to "return to the original point". As soon as he looked up, he saw Wang Xinggui not far away staring at him sternly, as if to say: Don't move!

Two patrol officers walked in front of Lu Xiaobai, and the patrol officers looked at him suspiciously. If Lu Xiaobai had turned to the police for help at that time and told him about the situation of being coerced, he would definitely be rescued on the spot. However, the young and ignorant Lu Xiaobai considered that after the police rescued him, they would definitely send him back to his aunt's house, which was tantamount to jumping out of the pit and being thrown into the ravine, which was not worth it.

He really couldn't kneel, so while Xiaohu wasn't paying attention, he sat on the ground with his ass crooked. He was prepared in his heart that if Xiaohu and his father scolded him, he would run away. However, the strange thing is that Xiaohu only squinted at him, and Xiaohu's father did not look at him angrily.

After a while, Xiaohu whispered to Lu Xiaobai: "Get up and kneel, I'll buy steak for you to eat in a while!" ”

Lu Xiaobai scratched his head, looked left and right, and wanted to run away. But at this moment, he saw an unkempt boy not far away foraging for food in the garbage can, and he was surprised and faintly worried at the same time: If I get rid of the old guy's control, will I be reduced to the sad point of picking up food to make a living?

The more he thought about it, the more discouraged he became, so discouraged that he didn't want to run away, at least, and eat noodles with the old guy.
