Chapter 59: Autumn Song

"Eat, eat." It was a place of settlement among the homeless, and it was a child, a boy who had only been in this place for a few months. That boy was about seven or eight years old, and he looked pretty good, otherwise Uncle Zhu wouldn't have brought him back.

Speaking of this Uncle Zhu, everyone among the homeless people knows that this guy is a human trafficker, who picks out those handsome children whose homes were destroyed by mountain bandits and whose parents are dead, or some boys who are strong and strong and strong alone. But this person is a little good, he never sells children to brothels, black mines, etc., so he still has a good reputation in the human trafficking industry. Let's say that Uncle Zhu's real name is Zhu Ba, I heard that it was the family name Zhu Xingba who got this name, and he was also a down-to-earth and hard-working man, but he hated that the mountain bandit had leveled his village, and he naturally became a member of the homeless people. He didn't read any books, that is, he was a farmer, and after his exile, the crops were gone, and he had no ability, so he kept starving, until one day someone took him to sell the first batch of children and make some money, and Uncle Zhu, who tasted the sweetness, embarked on the road of human trafficking. However, he still has a good conscience, and he will provide good food and drink for these kidnapped or brought children, and when he finds a good buyer, he will sell them at a high price, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous in his own opinion.

And the boy just now, although he was new, was quite loved by Uncle Zhu, and it was only two or three months before Uncle Zhu handed over the responsibility of managing other children to him. He did it quite hard, and those children didn't say they didn't like it, anyway, Uncle Zhu kept praising him, and threatened to raise him as a son, and he would never buy it. This boy also has a name for the occasion, isn't it autumn now, he happens to be called Qiu Ge, so he is easy to remember. Qiu Ge's affinity is common among the homeless people, he is pleasing to adults, and he is easy to get along with his peers. In this way, Qiu Ge, who has only been here for a short time, is very popular among this group of displaced people, and many people take turns to find Qiu Ge as an apprentice, but Uncle Zhu wants Qiu Ge to go to the academy and learn some knowledge, don't think that he is useless. But in today's troubled times, how can Qiu Ge, a homeless person, be allowed to study, and it is a great luck to be able to save his life, so it will be put on hold. At present, Qiu Ge's main job is to manage the eating, drinking, and Lazar of the children who are in the same place, and he is distributing lunch at the moment.

"Qiu Ge, when are we leaving?" A boy with a steamed bun asked.

Qiu Ge looked at the boy who was younger than himself, and pretended to be an adult: "How do I know, but if you can eat well now, don't worry about it for now, this battle is still going on, who knows when it will stop, and you will not leave until it stops." ”

Listening to Qiu Ge's answer, the boy said enviously: "You are so good, Uncle Zhu raised you by his side, I heard children from other places say that they are not full of food and clothing, I really don't know if we can eat steamed buns when we are sold." ”

"Don't worry, if you really can't eat or wear well, you will come back secretly, I will quietly bring you steamed buns and clothes." Qiu Ge carefully pointed his mouth at the boy's ear and whispered.

"As long as you have a lot to do, come back for dinner quickly." As soon as Qiu Ge stood up, Uncle Zhu's voice sounded behind him, it turned out that Uncle Zhu saw that Qiu Ge had not come for a long time, so he came to see this group of children.

"Uncle Zhu," the children shouted in unison.

"Uncle Zhu, why did you come here in person, I'll be back, you eat first." Qiu Ge turned around, with a smile on his face, that's called flattery.

"Hurry up, if you can't get enough, go get it." After speaking, Uncle Zhu glared at Qiu Ge fiercely, and went back to eat.

Seeing that Uncle Zhu was far away, Qiu Ge whispered to them like a thief: "I'll put the pickles at the bottom of the steamed bun basket, save some food, I'll go first." ”

Qiu Ge hurriedly ran from the children's room to the yard, gasped and said to Uncle Zhu, "I'm back, I'm back." ”

"Slow down, sit down and eat." Uncle Zhu couldn't be surprised when he looked at Qiu Ge.

"Oh" said Qiu Ge immediately sat down and took a big bite to eat.

There were no good dishes on the table, peanuts, pickles, wild vegetables, steamed buns, and soup. But this kind of treatment is good among the homeless, and Qiu Ge is definitely lucky, he is raised, and he is allowed to eat at the table, so Qiu Ge is satisfied, every time he eats, he is full of relish, and there is nothing left.

"You eat, I'll leave beforehand, and you can solve it yourself in the evening." Uncle Zhu wiped his mouth with his cuffs, gave Qiu Ge a word, and then went out.

Looking at the back of Uncle Zhu walking out, Qiu Ge's eyes had a lot of things that had never appeared, there was indifference, hatred, but more gratitude.

Qiu Ge's indifference is because his relatives have left him, his hatred is because of the ruthlessness of the mountain bandits, his own powerlessness, and his gratitude is because there is still warmth in the world, which can make him understand, he is an autumn song, an autumn lament, a sad song of the green mountains in autumn, and a pure song of changing his identity.
