Chapter 104: The Forbidden Land of the Beggar Gang
When did beggars appear?
When humans formed tribes, beggars who were incapacitated to work appeared. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Originally, these beggars were incapacitated, but later more able-bodied people came out to beg, and the nature of beggars gradually changed.
Since the previous gang leader Qiao Feng was forced to leave, the beggar gang has been in a leaderless state, which has intensified the confrontation between the two factions of Xiuzhen and Xiuwu.
Jane, Wu, and Qu are the three existing beggar gang elders of the beggar gang, and they are no strangers to Lien, especially Elder Jane, who once asked him about becoming the leader of the alliance on behalf of the beggar gang in Lushan.
"Heroes don't ask where they come from, I think the disciples in the gang will not object to the leader of the alliance as our gang leader, but if you want to be the leader of the beggar gang, you have to endure the shame, even if you are the gang leader, you can't escape the essence of a beggar!" Elder Qu said.
Elder Wu said, "Why don't we test the alliance leader and see if he is willing to serve as our helper leader?" ā
Elder Jian stopped him and said, "No, if he refuses in person, we will have no way back, it is better to learn from Kaohsiung and Gu useless, and come to catch ducks on the shelves." ā
Elder Wu said, "You mean to trick Lien into the gang leader's seat first, and then tell him the truth!" ā
Elder Jian nodded in agreement and said, "It's really not good, let him act as our helper first, and then he will step down when we have a suitable candidate for the helper." ā
Elder Qu was still a little worried, so Elder Jian said, "We decided like this, otherwise, if we let Zheng Kang's group of cultivators elect a helper, it will be difficult for us to continue to manage the beggar gang!" ā
The three of them agreed, and it was also noon, and the disciples in charge of the luncheon had already set up in the Juyi Pavilion.
Qi Sanxi led Rien to the Gathering Hall and met the three elders.
Elder Jian asked, "Why didn't you see Mrs. Zun and Miss Aqing?" ā
Li En said: "The insiders can't stand the cold, so they go to Senior Wu's room to warm up!" ā
Elder Wu ordered Qi Sanxi to invite the wife of the alliance leader to come out with Wu Xuejiao to attend the luncheon.
Wu Xuejiao's room is lit with charcoal fire, which is warm, but there are many materials on display in the room, and there is a strong smell of skin and nitrate.
This Wu Xuejiao is the daughter of Elder Wu, with big eyes and a big mouth, simple and clean clothes, holding a needle and thread in her hand, and is making warm clothes for the beggars and disciples.
Gao Li is not a female celebrity, so she looked through the clothes and accessories made by Wu Xuejiao with Ah Qing, although they were used by the beggars and disciples, but the production was very exquisite.
Qi Sanxi came over to invite them to the luncheon, Wu Xuejiao stopped what she was doing, but Gao Li said: "I'm a little unwell and want to rest for a while, so I can't participate in your luncheon, please forgive me!" ā
Wu Xuejiao asked, "Mrs. Li, are you not feeling well?" Do you want me to ask a doctor to treat you? ā
Gao Li hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need, let A-Qing go with you, I'll just lie here for a while!" ā
As soon as Wu Xuejiao left the room, Gao Li immediately opened the window to breathe.
Rien didn't see his wife come out, so he asked Ah Qing about the situation, and after receiving an answer, he said to the three elders: "Okay, my lady has been traveling all the way, so let her rest in the room first!" ā
Elder Jian said: "It's a pity that the alliance leader's wife can't attend the luncheon, I specially asked Hong Dazui to prepare dog meat, the alliance leader please!" ā
When a large pot was stewed with dog meat, the aroma was overflowing, and a fat beggar with a big mouth and a big face took out a pair of dishes and chopsticks from his pocket, carefully wiped them with a rag, and handed them to Lien.
Elder Wu said, "Our beggars are poor, and I hope the alliance leader will forgive us!" ā
Ah Qing frowned when he saw these beggars using dirty chopsticks to eat directly in the small pot in front of them. But fortunately, Hong Dazui specially brought a pot of stewed vegetarian dishes, and said: "Miss Wu, Miss Aqing, this pot of vegetarian dishes is specially prepared by me for the wife of the alliance leader, you can enjoy it quickly!" ā
Shi Cangwu and Xiao Biye took out chopsticks from their pockets to eat, and Li En said: "I grew up in the temple since I was a child, and I grew up eating hundreds of meals, but I can't eat meat in the temple, and it's far less happy than in your noble gang!" ā
Elder Qu smiled bitterly when he heard this, but Elder Wu smiled when he saw that Li En was satisfied with what he had eaten.
After they had a luncheon together, Rien asked, "In the morning, the third brother led us on a tour of the rudder, and we went to all the places, but there was only one place where he did not take us, saying that we could only do it with the consent of the elders." ā
Elder Wu said, "Then does the alliance leader want to go to the tower for a visit?" ā
Ryan nodded in response and said, "I wonder what's fun in that tower?" ā
Elder Jian said, "The alliance leader will know after he goes!" ā
The three elders led the way, and Rien was about to go with two guards and two children, but when he arrived in front of a stone tower, Elder Jian said: "This tower is a forbidden place for our beggar gang, so we can only invite the alliance leader to enter, and the two chivalrous friends and these two little friends can only wait outside!" ā
Chang Liang was a little unhappy and said, "We also have a tower in Qingyou Temple!" ā
Rien was busy comforting him, and Xiao Biye whispered to Rien: "The alliance leader still doesn't go in, what if there is danger in the tower?" ā
Shi Cangwu also said: "Since this is a forbidden place for the beggars, we are not disciples of the beggars, so don't go in!" ā
Rien said: "Since the three elders of the beggar gang have agreed to let me in, then how can I doubt the three elders, you just wait at the door!" ā
He followed the three elders into the tower, a stale breath came to his face, the tower enshrined two statues, one large and one small, Elder Jian introduced: "This big statue is the ancestor of our beggar gang Baili Xi, the leader of the alliance is a scholar, you should know, the small one is Du Kang." We also worship the second master, the beggar gang is talking about loyalty and martyrdom! ā
Rien nodded in response, and said: "The disciples of the Beggar Gang came from humble backgrounds but did not give up on themselves, and they were on the streets of the market, but they were able to perform chivalrous deeds and serve the country and the people, which is really admirable to the later students!" ā
Elder Jian took three incense sticks and ignited them, and said, "Since the alliance leader has already come, let's put incense on the pillar for our ancestors, right?" ā
Li En answered, bowed to the statue, the three elders smiled, Elder Wu led everyone to the second floor of the tower, this is a secret room, he took off a green rattan cane from the wooden shelf and said: "Alliance leader, we beggars help people are poor and short, and there are no gifts to give, this is given to the alliance leader, and I hope the alliance leader will accept it!" ā
The elders all held their breath, and Ryan hurriedly excused himself: "I didn't prepare a gift for you when I first came to visit your gang, so how can I accept your gift?" ā
He didn't know that the green stick was a dog-beating stick for the beggars, and only the gang leader could have it.
