Ah Mei swallowed and vomited for a long time, but still couldn't help asking: "Sister Ugly, who injured you and threw you into the stinky ditch?" I'll avenge you! Saying that, Xiaohu clenched his fists tightly.

The clown pursed his mouth lightly, and replied embarrassedly: "No...... That one...... Because...... Because I stole someone else's stuff. ”

"Stealing? I've been begging. Although you can't die of hunger, you can't eat enough! Ah Mei pouted.

Ah Chou sighed slightly with his eyes sideways, and said slowly: "I don't want to steal, let alone beg!" I...... I can't reach out...... It's a shame! ”

Ah Mei seemed to be surprised, begging was like drinking water and eating for him, and it was his own source of food. He couldn't help asking, "Sister Ugly, isn't there a shame in stealing things?" ”

Maybe there is a kind of attachment in her bones, she frowned slightly, thought about it very seriously, and replied: "I only think that although the stealing is discovered, you only need to be beaten violently, and if it is begging, you have to stretch out your hand and beg...... It just doesn't feel the same...... Between being beaten and reaching out, I'd rather choose to be beaten! ”

Ah Mei touched her head, feeling that Sister Ah Chou seemed to be very reasonable, but then shook her head and said, "I don't understand!" I don't understand! ”

Ah Chou smiled bitterly, slowly raised his head, looked at the sunlight cast from the hole in the temple roof, and the light dust flying in the sunlight, and said faintly: "Actually, I don't understand ...... myself" The faint tone seemed to contain a qiē, revealing an extraordinary aura in the coldness.

Ah Mei couldn't help but be shocked by Sister Ugly's momentum, and whispered: "Sister Ugly, you are really a peculiar little beggar." ”

Ugly stubbornly emphasized: "I'm not a beggar! I've never begged! ”

"Okay, okay, Sister Ugly, you're not a beggar, you're a strange thief, okay? Hee-hee......"

"Hmm!" Ah Chou thought about it, nodded solemnly, and approved Ah Mei's evaluation. He grinned again with his incomplete teeth and laughed, looking ugly.

For the rest of the day, Ugly's face was always bruised, which was beaten; Ah Mei's knees are always broken, which is begging and kneeling. The two depend on each other and love each other.

For Ah Mei, he has always been begging alone for a living, suffering from white eyes and hunger and cold, and this time with Ah Chou will be his most beautiful memory.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is a cold and windy winter night.

The sky was covered with snowy white snowflakes, and the streets were deserted, and everyone hid in their houses to keep warm, unwilling to go out into the streets to blow the cold wind.

A small, thin body, wearing only a tattered garment full of patches, some of which was still exposed, curled up in the cold corner, constantly blowing into his hands.

Passers-by who came and went turned a blind eye to this scene, no one cared whether the child would freeze to death, kindly, said a word of pity, and left in a hurry, no one was willing to take off the warm clothes on the body to the child.

"It's cold, it's cold...... the little boy blows on his hands and rubs his hands, hoping to get some warmth, but the more he blows, the colder it gets, the colder it gets.

This little boy is Ah Mei, he is sick, for the little beggar, getting sick in the cold winter is often just waiting for death. But for these poor people, either they die of illness or starvation, and there will always be one of them.

I don't know how long it took, Ah Mei didn't even have the strength to rub his hands, only the buzzing sound was left in his ears, and he vaguely saw that he saw steamed buns, chicken legs, and bustling delicacies......

Ugly is back. She walked weakly and covered in blood, and it was hard to imagine that this was a ten-year-old girl. But the broken crockpot she was holding in her hand was exceptionally clean, and the crockpot contained half a jar of hot porridge.

Ah Mei was already unconscious, and she only had one breath left. Ah Chou didn't hesitate much, she carefully held the broken crockpot, as if holding a life-saving elixir, she took a mouthful, a mouthful...... didn't waste a trace, and fed it to Ah Mei mouth-to-mouth......

"Xiaomei, swallow it quickly, it will be warm!"

It was an ordinary cold night, but many years later, Ah Mei will always remember the mouthful of rice porridge, which was so warm, so sweet, as if there was a magic power that pierced the soul, and let him persevere.

The life of a poor man is sometimes as cheap as a weed on a ridge, even if many people trample on it, it will still live tenaciously and grow more and better.

Ah Mei came back to life.

That night's porridge was the first time that Ah Chou begged, in order to fill his stomach, in order to survive, Ah Chou also became a stammering, shy and stupid beggar, maybe this little girl put the old stubbornness, pride, persistence, this qiē hidden deep in the bottom of her heart.

The winter night was bitterly cold, and two poor people snuggled.

"Sister, I have a gift for you!" Xiaomei said and took out something from his dirty clothes, wrapped it in a piece of green cloth with three layers of outer three, and opened it to see that it was a butterfly-shaped hairpin, the butterfly was lifelike, fluttering its wings.

"What a beautiful silver hairpin!"

"This is what A-Niang left for me, so I gave it to my sister!"

"Xiaomei, this is the thought left to you by your mother, I can't ask for it...... Or, when you grow up, buy it for me! ”

"Good! In the future, I will buy a lot of beautiful hairpins for Sister Ugly! ”

…… This winter, a ten-year-old girl and a six- or seven-year-old boy hugged each other tightly, relying on the temperature of each other's bodies to resist the bitter cold......

Dense as silver quills rain silk light yarn shrouded in the world, the rain and dew blow the very slender phoenix tail bamboo, gathered into beads, crystal broken general, knocked on the oil paper umbrella, intermittent, Qingyue like a lady lightly hit the chime.

Spring came, the weather warmed up, and the little girls and boys had better days, but something terrible happened.

In the tattered valley temple, a beggar whose hair has fallen out looks like a broken windmill, maybe it is the spring warmth that is sultry, taking advantage of the time when Ah Chou is asleep, he pounces on Ah Chou's body, pulling her already very tattered clothes, and kissing her with a stinky mouth.

Ah Chou swore to resist, punched and kicked, she saw the broken beggar's eyes, those cloudy eyes glowed with a strange essence, very strange and terrifying. Although Ugly is very strong and smart, he is not as strong as this broken beggar.

Fortunately, at this moment, Ah Mei came back from begging outside. Looking at the damn broken beggar, looking at the wolf Bèi Ugly who was hiding left and right with tears in his eyes, the little boy's eyes turned red, like a wild wolf, hatred, shame and anger were irrepressible.

Ah Mei is like an outburst lone wolf, picking up a fist-sized stone. Rushed up frantically, smacked it hard, once, twice...... Until the blood of the broken beggar splashed Ah Mei's face, until the broken beggar couldn't move.

Ah Mei's face was covered with blood, and he seemed to have exhausted his strength just now, and he crawled back to the crying Ah Chou step by step and hugged her tightly.

Ah Mei said to Ah Chou word by word: "Whoever wants to bully you, I will beat him to death!" ”

This sentence worked, masking Ugly's fear.

That night, they left the ruined valley temple. In this city, they still work as beggars, because this is the only way for them to survive. After that incident, Ah Chou hid himself deeper, and the dirt on his face was thicker, I am afraid that no one can see that this dirty Ah Chou is a little girl except Ah Mei.

The father said, "Yao'er, do you know why your milk name is Ah Ugly? ”

"I was born ugly!"

"Haha...... My Yao'er is not ugly! Because ugliness is better than beauty in this world, most beauty hides desire, dirtiness, and killing, but no ugliness is real......"

"Daddy, I don't understand!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you just have to remember to live and live like a human being......"

"Daddy, Daddy......"

Ugly suddenly woke up from his dream, and Daddy's words echoed in his ears for a long time. Her father and mother, her son and brother were all reduced to ashes in the raging fire, and at that time, she was also crying in horror and helplessness, and the wolf bèi fled from Ruoshui Village. The broken beggar gave her a taste of horror again.

Ugly wants to know the truth of that night, she wants to live, but will God pity this helpless little girl?

The moonlight was as cool as water and shot into the corner of the street. Ah Chou and Ah Mei were embraced, and Ah Chou was saying something that Ah Mei couldn't understand: "Mei, I'm so scared, I'm afraid that I'll really become a beggar!" I'm afraid...... One day, we too will become a walking corpse like that broken beggar! ”

After saying these words, Ah Ugly's eyes were helpless, desolate, and sad, and it was heartbreaking to see people. But why does a little girl have such profound words?
