As he was talking, a child of twelve or thirteen years old, poorly dressed and dirty, begged from him with a rotten porcelain bowl. "The big official, I beg you, give you two small money! God bless the officials to raise their children in high school, and then save yuan. ”

Provincial Yuan, the first person to participate in the tribute, Wang Xiu listened to comfort, this sycophant, who doesn't like other people's compliments! The child is very pitiful, so he might as well take a few dollars out, and smiled gently: "What is the name of the little brother, the accent is not Kaifeng official dialect, how can you beg along the street if you don't go to a nursing home?" "The little Zhang Yunren, his family was poor and suffered a natural disaster, and his parents died on the way before he went to Wanqiu, the big officials were good, and the little one didn't eat for a day." The little beggar looked at Wang Xiu pitifully, his eyes full of anticipation. "Okay, I'll give you some money to sell some bread to eat." Wang Xiu took out the money bag from his sleeve, took out three cents from it and gave it to the little beggar, and after a little hesitation, he took out a small piece of broken silver and handed it over, and hung the money bag on his belt casually. "Thank you to the officials, thank you to the officials, the officials are really good people." The little beggar knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, and this piece of silver could be exchanged for more than 100 yuan. Wang Xiu was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's just a few copper coins, hurry up and go to eat." "The small ones wish the big officials, the high-ranking officials, the official fortunes, and the generations of the marquis." After the little beggar kowtowed, he got up and passed by Wang Xiu. He Wei pursed his lips and muttered, "Little slippery head." ”

"Coming out to beg at such a young age, pitiful, really pitiful." Wang Xiu sighed, glanced at He Wei very dissatisfied, and said lightly: "He is rich and noble, how have you ever suffered from a full meal and a hungry meal." ”

Although, through their own efforts, they live a worry-free life, but they pity these people living in the lower classes, and their lives are really poor.

He Wei pursed his lips, very unconvinced, but he didn't dare to refute.

Wang Xiu sighed, was taking pity on the little beggar, and inadvertently reached out to touch the money bag on his waist, wanting to put the money bag into his sleeve, but the two handfuls were empty.

"It's broken, it's a thief." When he looked around, there was still a little beggar figure, and he felt aggrieved for a while.

He was stunned and said, "Thief." Immediately, his face changed, and he said hatefully: "I'll chase it." ”

Wang Xiu grabbed He Wei, and said with a solemn face: "I just lost a few pennies, but it was enough for the little beggar to feed and dress for a few days, and I should have done good deeds." Maybe it's self-comforting, but he feels more comfortable, he still has money to store in the zài Wanxing quality library, thinking about letting the little beggar feed and clothe for a few months, which can be regarded as a good deed.

"It's up to you tomorrow for breakfast!"

The corners of He Wei's mouth twitched, and he forced a smile: "Look at what the elder brother said, even if the younger brother bears the cost of eating and drinking, what does it matter." ”

"Little scumbag, you actually stole the old lady's things, it's up to you to find a beating."

A burst of scolding came, Wang Xiu couldn't help but be stunned, stopped the footsteps he had just taken, and turned to look.

But I saw a fat old bustard, grabbing a boy and whipping him continuously, and a thin girl pulling the boy to cry.

The boy's face was blue and purple, and his right eye became a panda, but he still used his thin body to protect the little girl.

"Stop."

The old bustard was suddenly reprimanded, glared at Wang Xiu, and shouted in a voice like a broken gong: "Which one?" "Let go of the two children, if you have something to say, you can't say it well, you have to hit someone." "This little guy stole the old lady's money, and his mouth is stubborn." When the bustard spoke, the little beggar struggled and almost escaped from her hand, and in a fit of anger, she whipped two more whips, and a few fans on the side of the frightened side exclaimed frequently. "Ahh Brother. It hurts, it hurts. "The girl's thin and weak body bones, how can she withstand the whip of the old bustard, and she was drawn into tears." Let them go, isn't it just a little money, let them take it out, why whip people. Wang Xiu cried bitterly when she saw the little girl, and her anger at stealing money was completely eliminated, and she was replaced by deep pity. The official said it was easy, looking at the dress is the child of a rich family, how do you know that the money in the hook column is not easy to come by. "I lost a few pennies last time, or this thief stole it." An old woman shouted a reprimand. "Send it to the county lieutenant." "Two little babies, forget it, it's pitiful."

"Fart, stealing money at such a young age, it's not a Jiangyang thief when it's big."

"This group of cubs is a gang, it seems that there are more than a dozen of them." At this time, there were also some pedestrians next to them, and they began to coax, each saying their own reasons. Wang Xiu is in a dilemma, the old bustard sees it as fierce and vicious, but what people say is also reasonable, although the skin and meat business comes with money, but it is also a legitimate business of others, you can't say that people are cheated and deceived! "Boy, kneel down and kowtow to the old lady three times, take out the money, and forget it." "Old thief, don't you think."" The little guy who suffered from the plague is still hard-mouthed, the old lady beat you to death, and sold your sister in the yard, to see that you are really a hard mouth. "Old thief, if you want to beat me, what does it matter to my sister?" "Let go of me, how can I give you money if I don't let go." The boy shouted. The old bustard thought about the money, waved his hand and called the turtle man, and said, "You thief, don't give me the money to find out, stand and watch the joke." ”

The turtle man on the side shrank his head, and came over to reach out to take the boy, and it just so happened that the old bustard let go of his hand first when the turtle boy stretched out his hand.

After the bustard let go of his hand, the boy saw the opportunity and pulled the girl very sensitively to run. "Boy, see if the old lady doesn't peel you." The old bustard was fooled, annoyed and angry in the laughter of the onlookers, and chased after him angrily.

Gui Gong's face also changed, and he hurriedly followed to arrest someone.

The onlookers had nowhere to run, and played a game of hide and seek with the bustard in the crowd, the bustard looked very clumsy, and failed to catch the two children several times, but once he fell on his heels, causing the crowd of onlookers to laugh.

But after all, the girl is weak, and she grabbed her arm after running a few laps, and she screamed in pain, and after falling to the ground, she was dragged up by the turtle boy, looking at the painful look on her little face, which made people feel pity. "Let my sister go." "Boy, run! Why don't you run away? Turtle Gong sneered. Let my sister go. The boy stood across from the bustard, his eyes full of wolf-like ferocity. Wang Xiu's heart moved, as if he wanted to speak, but he hesitated and endured it.

"What to do, what to do, get out of the way, get out of the way." At this time, several county officials squeezed into the crowd, and the old bustard immediately shouted: "Two thieves stole my money and are about to arrest the official." A squad leader dressed as a public servant said, "Let's all go and go to the county lieutenant to defend themselves." Gui Gong's face changed, and he smiled and said: "Festival level, the little one and my lady are the right people, why do you want to go?" "If you don't talk about it tomorrow, I'll take it away." The head of the squad looked impatient and waved his hand contemptuously, and several public servants were about to take people. Wang Xiu sighed softly, walked up and said, "It's just a little bit of trivial money, but it makes the two children suffer overnight, so it's better to let it go." The boy looked at Wang Xiu in surprise, his lips stirred a few times, he wanted to say it but he didn't know how to say it, the girl looked at Wang Xiu timidly, and lowered her head in shame. The leader has been a poor person for more than ten years, but he still has eyesight, seeing that Wang Xiu is dressed appropriately and generously, the exam is about to start again, and he is likely to be a reader who is rushing to take the exam. He breathed a sigh of relief at the moment and said: "This official, this is the rule of the yamen, the prisoner and the beloved go together, that is, interrogate." The old bustard shouted: "Section-level lord, the old woman is a responsible person, if she goes, how much less money will she earn?" ”

"It's getting late, take them all back." The team leader was a little impatient. "Thank you for the kindness of the big officials, the little ones deserve to offend the big officials, the money bag is on the little sister, and the big officials can take it back. It's not bad to go to the yamen, at least there is a straw-covered earthen kang to sleep on. "The boy is quite stubborn, and his words are no less decisive than those of adults, and the bitterness and sadness are very strong.

Wang Xiu's nose immediately became sour, and the heat in his eyes went up, if he hadn't endured it, tears would have flowed out. xh118
