Chapter 16: Collecting beggars is unkempt, and his art is from a famous artist

At this time, the beggar had finished washing, and Aunt Mei led him to the hall.

Before they entered the door, Aunt Mei shouted from afar: "This kid was pitch black and sour just now, but I didn't expect to become a handsome offspring after changing clothes!" ”

I noticed the arrival of the beggar, the beggar was wearing a gray head suit, long arms and thin legs, red lips and teeth, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a talent, the beggar was so uncomfortable to be stared at by me and Uncle Wu, I quickly gave Uncle Wu a hint, Uncle Wu reacted and laughed at me relative to each other.

I hurriedly asked the beggar to sit down, Aunt Mei poured him a cup of tea, and asked him to tell everyone the truth of the matter quickly.

The beggar drank a cup of tea, sorted out his thoughts and said: "The beggar is surnamed Li, his ancestral home is Shandong, and he fled to Liulin County, Shanxi Province to escape the war.

At the beginning, I was selling art with my father, and the people who watched the charity were okay, but then my father unfortunately died, and I couldn't perform any tricks alone, and there were fewer and fewer people watching the excitement.

Speaking of my light work, I have to talk about another person, begging people often go to different places, a few years ago came to Shanxi Luliang, where it is a relatively large town, there are a lot of people, over time also begged a lot of copper coins, after a month of begging, begging a lot of copper coins enough to stuff my rag money bag full.

One day, I was going to save the money I had begged for in the cash drawer so that I could save some capital for my own small business in the future, but I was greedy and wanted to like a few more copper coins, so I delayed the matter.

I sat on the market, I don't know when I came a sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked, skinny man, I saw that his appearance was like this, guessed that he must not be a good person, that man also talked to me from time to time for no reason, sometimes asked this, sometimes asked that, I was upset, I couldn't bear it, so I got up and left.

When I returned to my residence, I found that the bag full of copper coins in my arms had disappeared, and I was scared stupid, this is dozens of days of accumulation, if I lose it like this, then when will I be a beggar to the end!

I calmed down and thought about it carefully, it must have been the deer-headed rat-eyed man just now. I immediately hurried back to the place where I had been begging, and the man sat there without leaving, and was overjoyed to see me return.

He had an extra rag bag around his waist, which was full of money, and it was my lost money bag, and I immediately went up to him and asked for it, and of course this man would not give it to me easily.

I'm not a bully, and then I stepped forward to snatch it, but this person didn't move, and he shook off my attack, and I was eager to take the money, and I couldn't care about a lot, so I tried my best to rob, who knew that no matter what I was, the man stood in front of me unscathed, but he couldn't.

I wondered at the time, although my light skills are not a high-class martial arts, but it will not be so unbearable to deal with a small thief, and even a skinny scholar can't hold it.

Then the man said, "How can you tell that this is your money bag?" There's no your name written on it, so you're clearly snatching it in broad daylight? ”

I said angrily: "I naturally recognize my money bag, you stole my money bag and bit me back and said that I robbed, you are clearly a thief!" ”

The thief smiled, and then said, "The thief doesn't dare to be a thief, and I won't mind if I become a thief!" In that case, if you can tell how many copper coins are in it, I'll give you this bag of money at once!" ”

I was immediately dumbfounded, so many copper coins, how did I know......

But the man said, "But I know how much money there is!" ”

I couldn't help but laugh when I heard it, so many copper plates, you have to spend some time trying to figure it out for half a day, and since I left just now and come back, I haven't seen half a pillar of incense, and I still see that the knot on the money bag has not moved, who believes you are bragging here?

The man laughed and said: "I haven't opened it, but it doesn't mean that I don't know how many copper plates are inside, and if you want to count, it won't take half a column of incense time, you count five, if I don't say the number, all the money in this bag will belong to you, and I will give you ten taels of silver!" ”

I was so happy when I heard it, how could such a good thing happen to me.

I began to give the order, only to see the man lightning with a dagger to pick open the knot, and threw the money into the air, just a blink of an eye, really a blink of an eye, leaving only the figure of the man flying back and forth in front of me, when I counted to three before the words fell, the man had already taken back all the money back in the bag! ”

I immediately looked around, for fear that some copper plates were missing, and the man didn't look at it and said contemptuously: "You don't have to look for it, three hundred and one hundred and one copper plates, one no more and one no less!" ”

I stood there stunned and didn't believe it, the man laughed and said: "Since you don't believe it so much, then let's find someone to prove it and know if it's right or wrong, there just happens to be a money cabinet over there, let's ask the shopkeeper to calculate it carefully!" ”

I nodded in agreement.

I went to the cash drawer with the man, and I gave the shopkeeper a few copper plates and told him to make sure that the money was counted, and the shopkeeper understood our intentions and was very curious.

The shopkeeper took out a delicate abacus, poured a bag of copper coins on the table, and only listened to the crackling sound of the abacus.

After half a pillar of incense, the shopkeeper said in front of us: "Three hundred and one copper coins!" ”

I was shocked, this was impossible, and then asked the shopkeeper to count three times in a row, and the shopkeeper was very helpless to count three times, each time it was three hundred and one. I sat down in my chair, and when it was over, the money was gone.

At this time, the man stood up, picked up the money bag, shook it in front of me, and said, "If you want copper coins, you will meet under the three big willow trees three miles outside the city at three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow!" He immediately took the money bag, turned around and walked away.

I was relieved a lot, after all, there was still hope for the money back.

The next day, I was anxious to find money, so I came to wait under the three willow trees early in the morning, and waited for several hours until three o'clock in the afternoon, when the man appeared and looked very unhappy, and left a sentence: "I let you arrive on time but not let you arrive early, come again tomorrow!" "I turned around and left, I was quite angry, if it weren't for my bag of money, I would have been humiliated by you, and I had no choice but to come back tomorrow.

The next day, I learned the lesson of yesterday, pinched the time, arrived at three o'clock in the afternoon, who would have thought that the next day was a day to catch the market, people from all over the world rushed to the city, all the way to dodge and dodge was not smooth, to the willow tree has passed three o'clock in the afternoon, no trace of the thief, only to see a note pasted on the trunk, which reads: "Late people, don't think about gold, tomorrow is on time, if you lose money", seeing this note, I was angry, so I was played by this thief, I tore the note into pieces and scattered on the ground.

On the third day, I learned from the experience of the previous two days, and since the morning I went back and forth to the city to the three willow trees more than ten times, and roughly grasped the time required in any situation, so I arrived under the willow tree on time at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the thief also arrived on time, carrying my money bag in his hand.

When he saw me this time, he smiled and said, "Today is still on time, the money will be given to you!" ”

He threw the money bag to me.

I saw that the money bag was intact and couldn't help but ask curiously: "You don't want money?" Why are you teasing me so much? ”

The thief smiled and said: "I have noticed you since you came to Luliang, you can do light work, and you are a good material for a gentleman on Liang." I'm never short of money, and the reason why I took your money was to see if I could do it today, and sure enough, I was right! ”

I asked suspiciously, "Who are you and why do you care so much about me?" ”

The man laughed and popped out three words: "willow plantard".

Hearing these three words, I was so shocked that I froze in place, and I didn't come back to my senses for a long time.

Maybe everyone knows this name, the thief is the famous first thief in the world during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, according to historical records, the thief is slender, good at flying eaves and walls, excellent light skills, and is the originator of all thieves in China. The original name of the thief is called Liu Xia Hui, which is the younger brother of Liu Xia Hui, the doctor of Lu State, and "there is a way to steal" is the propaganda slogan that the thief sang for thousands of years.

And the person in front of him who calls himself "willow planter" is the first thief in the world in recent decades, because his family name is Liu, his name is unknown, and he pursues the spirit of "thief also has the way" of stealing feet in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, specializing in stealing the rich and helping the poor, so the people in the rivers and lakes call it "willow plantard". People who want us to learn light skills, of course, worship the most such gods in the world, these people see the head and the end, even if they stand in front of you, you don't know their true face.

I fell to my knees with a thud and said sincerely: "Senior Liu, please forgive the recklessness of the juniors in the past few days, the juniors really have eyes and don't know Taishan, and they misunderstood your old man!" ”

Liu Xia laughed and said: "The reason why I am like this is because I see your long arms and thin legs, and you make a good body of light skills, which is a top material for learning light skills, so this is what you do, if you look up to the old man, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?" ”

As soon as these words came out, I was stunned again in place, what kind of person is Liu Xia, who can accept me, a person who begs everywhere, as an apprentice, it is something that I can't even dream of, Liu Xia is a god in our hearts.

I came to my senses and bowed three times in a row and said, "If Master Meng does not give up, the disciple is willing to worship your old man as a teacher!" Liu Xiazu hurriedly helped me up. Since then, Liu Xiajiao has taught me light exercises for more than three months, and then the master wandered away, leaving me alone.

What the master taught me in three months is beyond my life, and what I used when I captured the weapon of the man in black just now was the master's master's mastery of "Electric Light Divine Steps", but unfortunately my qualifications were dull, and I only learned four or five percent.

After the master left, I slowly used up the money I had begged for, and once again I had no way out, and I didn't want to do some thieves and thieves to humiliate the reputation of the master, so I had to beg again for a living, and before I knew it, I came to Wubao County, where did I meet you yesterday, so I ......"

Uncle Wu and I were very emotional after listening to it, Uncle Wu was even more eager for the gods and men of the rivers and lakes, and Liu Xia had only heard of it in people's legends, but the real people didn't even know about it.

I continued, "Why did you say you were waiting for me yesterday? ”

The beggar said embarrassedly: "In the past, when I encountered this situation, I was scolded and blown away by those young ladies of the child, but you treated me, a stranger who met for the first time, which shows that the son is upright and chivalrous, so I decided to follow you at that time, and immediately said that I was waiting for you." ”

After hearing this, Uncle Wu laughed and said, "It seems that you are really destined for fate!" ”

I said a little hesitantly: "Since Brother Li has light skills and is an apprentice of a famous teacher, will he be a little aggrieved by me?" ”

The beggar saw that I was a little remorseful, and stood up in a hurry and said: "If Childe doesn't take me in, I will be a stinky beggar begging all over the street, nothing, and I have buried the master's teachings from his old man. Also, Gongzi will still call me a beggar in the future, Brother Li Brother Li's call makes me uncomfortable, and I am naturally happy before the beggar comes! ”

Uncle Wu and I both laughed when we heard this, and I continued: "Okay, then I will follow me according to your wishes, you will follow me in the future, although you will not be made prosperous and rich, but you will never be allowed to sleep on the street without food!"

The beggar nodded repeatedly.

After such a day of tossing today, it is already very late, and it seems that we can only wait until tomorrow morning to set off for Suide County.

I asked Uncle Wu, the beggar and the caravan guys to simply deal with the courtyard, Aunt Mei was busy preparing our dinner, I sat in the hall to meditate and recover my strength, and fought with the five people in the afternoon, although I was not injured, but my physical strength was consumed a lot, it was time to recover and recover, I sat on the Taishi chair, closed my eyes and recuperated, and my physical strength had been fully recovered in less than half a pillar of incense, which was thanks to the blood Bodhi of the old man, so that I could have such an effect, and I couldn't help but think of the old man, I don't know where he is now?

"Young master, the meal is ready, let's eat quickly!"

Aunt May's loud voice pulled me back to reality.

When Aunt Mei and I came to the dining hall, Uncle Wu and the beggar had been waiting next to him for a long time, I beckoned everyone to sit down quickly, the beggar looked at the full meal, his saliva was already gluttonous, he had never eaten such a sumptuous meal, I asked him not to be restrained, leave us alone, just eat yourself, the beggar was a little embarrassed at first, and in the end he didn't care about us at all, the three of us laughed, and the beggar's gobbling was definitely better than my first time.

After dinner, everyone after a day of tiredness, are already sleepy, each of them went to bed early, after this war, the Qing Gang did not dare to act rashly, presumably we can live a few days of peace of mind, I asked Uncle Wu to arrange a small number of family care homes, the rest of the people are all resting, for tomorrow's rush to recuperate.

This night, everyone slept very soundly.

Early in the morning, after the rooster crowed three times, we all got up one after another. At this time, a round of red sun slowly rises from the east, a few rays of sunlight sprinkled on the moist land are exceptionally warm, the air is filled with the fragrance of the soil after the rain, and a few birds are chattering non-stop in the trees.

I realized that it had rained last night, but I didn't feel it at all, and Aunt Mei came over and saw me and smiled: "You just fell asleep last night, and it rained heavily until the early hours of the morning, do you see how pure the air is now?" ”

I smiled and nodded in response to Aunt May.

Aunt Mei was ready to come early for us to eat before leaving, we immediately went over to eat a little indiscriminately, Uncle Wu ordered the carriage and horses, and was ready to leave at any time. and Aunt Mei are about to part, I don't know what to say, after two simple days of getting along, I suddenly feel a little reluctant.

Aunt Mei also changed her past pungency, and said a little sadly: "Child, no one will cook for you when you go out in the future, you have to eat and drink well, don't treat yourself badly!" "Aunt Mei's words, I was almost moved to tears, I have no mother since I was a child, and seeing Aunt Mei is as kind as seeing my mother.

I went over and hugged Aunt Mei and whispered, "I lost my mother since I was a child, and you will be my mother from now on!" ”

Aunt Mei's tears flowed out of her eyes after hearing this, and I comforted Aunt Mei. Then let Uncle Wu and them go first, and Aunt Mei and I told each other again before reluctantly going on the road. Uncle Wu and the beggar led the convoy one after the other, I walked a hundred meters away and felt as if I had forgotten something, and when I looked back at Aunt Mei, I suddenly realized.

I rode to Aunt Mei's money and whispered to Aunt Mei: "This time there is a fight here, this place has been exposed, maybe something similar will happen in the future, my father is now in Mujia Village, after we leave, you go and inform your father, let your father sell this place, and find a place for you to live in Wubao County from now on, it is no longer safe here, remember to remember!" ”

Aunt Mei nodded with tears in her eyes and replied, I couldn't help but laugh when I looked at Aunt Mei, but the road ahead is still very long, and I still need to continue walking. I could feel Aunt May standing behind for a long, long time until I disappeared from her sight......
