XVIII. The Wind Rises

There was a crisp sound, and there were two more copper coins in the bowl of the gap.

There was envy in the eyes of the tiger head that could not be concealed, and only after the man walked away did he say, "Brother Li Zhuang, what do you say is going on with these people?" I squatted here for most of the day, my voice was hoarse, and there were only two copper coins in the bowl. The tiger head shook his begging bowl, and when the copper plate and the bowl collided, he continued: "How can they vote for you?" ”

Although the two get along well, the tiger head will inevitably have some taste in his heart, although there is nothing to show off if he is a beggar with good hands and feet, but just like the champion in the line, the beggars will also be divided into one or two. Li Zhuang just started to change for a few days, and he didn't shout, there was a bowl in front of him, sitting there cross-legged, and someone was actually sending money over in a steady stream, which was a little unfair in the tiger's heart. Secretly said that this kid is lucky, even if he is a beggar, the wealth is constant.

Li Zhuang was unkempt and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Probably in the eyes of others, I am more like a beggar than you." No, it's more suitable to be a beggar. Li Zhuangxue picked up the begging bowl and shook it, "Well, the income is not bad, wear a little bit, just sit down, how simple it is." ”

Beggar, what a pitiful professional title, but the life of the past few days has made Li Zhuang feel that it seems that he is naturally more suitable for this kind of begging life. Listen, isn't the sound of the copper plate and the broken bowl colliding with him today?

Heh, he couldn't help but grin self-deprecatingly.

Is it a natural fit?

Who is born fit to be a beggar?!

Doesn't it fit?

But how did he feel a sour feeling in his nose?

The tiger head scratched his head a little embarrassed, he knew Li Zhuang's identity, and the two were inseparable day and night. He also thinks that the relationship between the two is the most iron, but he is jealous of Li Zhuang. No matter how much you beg, you are still beggars. There is no shame in the eyes of others. He has always been down, and it doesn't matter if he has self-esteem or not, Li Zhuang is in charge of one of the best grocery stores in town. Although the identity is embarrassing, it has also been beautiful. Although I don't know why I fell so far, the Du family has never had anything to say to the outside world. But everyone has unspeakable secrets, and he still doesn't want to expose other people's scars. Be kind and be a friend.

The tiger head pondered for a while, and just as he was about to apologize, Li Zhuang hurriedly stood up, poured the dozen copper plates he had obtained into the tiger head's arms, and said, "I have something to leave first" and left.

He left without even a reason, as if he were in front of him without warning. Tiger Head has a feeling that Li Zhuang is afraid that he will not come back. He will return to his original life trajectory and continue to be his shopkeeper, and there will be no intersection between him and him as a beggar. Everyone has a black history that cannot be spoken to outsiders, and unfortunately he appears in Li Zhuang's black history, and he does not want to be mentioned or discovered.

It's a pity that such a friend with the right taste came and went in a hurry. I wonder if I'll remember him in the future?

The most regrettable thing is that no one drinks the flame knife with him anymore.

Li Zhuang traveled all the way. I followed a carriage to the largest restaurant in the town, Victory Building.

With his current appearance, it was impossible for him to enter it, and he only came here because he had just caught a glimpse of Li Wu's appearance. Thinking that Li Wu was going home recently, he wanted Li Wu to go back safely.

Li Zhuang didn't want Li Wu to see him now. He took out the guy he was eating now and sat down next to the gate of the Victory Building. As a result, he was driven away by Xiao Er several times before he sat down near the entrance of the alley. The location is a bit off, if you pay attention, you can still see whether Li Wu came out for the first time.

"Xiao Li, who messed with you? Look at you like that. It's almost out that you're not happy now. A man dressed in the clothes of Xiao Er but with a big brother's style patted the shoulder of the man named Xiao Li.

No matter which line of work you are mixed with, the person who spoke was Zhao Dazhu. However, he was two months ahead of him and won the building, and he shouted a little Li Xiaoli. As if he was afraid that others would not know him. However, the shape is stronger than people, and he also knows the current affairs without showing a little dissatisfied expression, and said: "I don't know where it came from to be called Huazi, so ignorant of the rules, I actually dare to beg for food at the gate of our Desheng Building, isn't this a slap in our face?" ”

Zhao Dazhu rolled up his sleeves when he heard this, "That bastard doesn't dare to squat in front of our restaurant without long eyes, and see that grandpa won't accept him!" ”

As soon as you exit, you will be restored to your original hooligan ruffian, and I think you are the face of smashing our victory building. Xiao Li slandered in his heart, but with a somewhat flattering smile on his face, "Why do you still use Brother Zhao to make a move, I just cleaned him up immediately, junior brother." ”

The owner behind the victory building is a foreigner, the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, in the early days of the store in order to reduce the trouble with the town to sign a contract, the victory building provides work, and they are responsible for the security of the victory building. No one dared to come to the door to make trouble, but these original ruffians and hooligans have become tumors that Victory Building can't get rid of.

**

Li Zhuang and the others were sleepy, and they were sitting there napping, when they felt kicked by someone, and when they opened their sleepy eyes, they heard the sound of several copper plates falling on the bluestone slabs, and it was estimated that which drunkard was drunk and gave him kindness.

As soon as he saw that this so-called drunkard was Li Wu, he was so drunk that he was about to fall to the ground. Li Zhuang's legs were numb, he couldn't stand up for a while, and as soon as his hand was stretched out, Li Wu was supported by someone, and then there was a burst of shouting and scolding: "Stinky food!" You want to steal our shopkeeper's money? What a shame! Want to do it while you're drunk? ”

Although Li Zhuang didn't dare to pack the ticket and say that he knew all the guys in the rice shop, nine times out of ten there were definitely any. Since he kept calling Li Wu's shopkeeper, he thought that he was also a guy in the store, and he was just about to open his mouth to explain a few words, when he saw that guy rushing over to beat him.

This really can't be explained in a few words, the point is that no one is willing to give him time to explain. He was secretly on guard as he reluctantly got up.

Probably God couldn't get used to the man's domineering appearance, and relieved Li Zhuang of the siege, Li Wu suddenly leaned against the wall and vomited cleanly.

It's all drunk like this, who remembers his bravery? The man put down his fist stupidly and said, "It's cheap, you kid." With that, he stepped forward and picked up one of Li Wu's arms, patting him on the back.

Li Wu was supported by his buddies and moved slowly, the most drunk and smoky, although his actions were not very neat, but he vomited, his mind was a little sober, and there would be no such thing as spitting out the truth after drinking.

He may be praised for a few words about good wine, but only Li Wu knows what price he has paid for it. Like now that he is in such a position, he also wants to fight. If you don't have outstanding performance any higher, how can you get into the eyes of those people above? In a few months, when the rice is harvested, someone will come to check the accounts to see if it can go one step further.

"How...... You're here? Li Wu hiccuped, and his tongue was a little untenable. Rao is the banquet occasion that he has been mixing for so long, and the wine still can't fight the stewards of those big families. These moths don't do practical things, and they specialize in pit others to fatten their own pockets.

As soon as he heard this, Li Zhuang also knew that Li Wu knew that person, and while beating his numb legs, he walked back in three steps. No matter what he wanted to say, on this occasion, Li Wu's state was not suitable.

Originally, Li Wu asked his henchman Xiaofu to pick him up, but who knew that it was a new temporary helper Li Wenqiang. I must have been worried that the day had come, and I would have lost this fat errand, so I came to offer my courtesy. Li Wu did not prevent others from drilling into the camp, but he hated that others hit him with ideas. Fortunately, it was not Liu Dequan's person, and Li Wu was slightly relieved.

"Brother Fu has eaten something bad and has diarrhea, ask me to come over for a run." Li Wenqiang explained.

Regardless of whether it is really a bad stomach, anyway, diarrhea is a certainty, and this can be found out, even if it is fake, it will be made real. Li Wu grinned and wanted to say something, but he still couldn't hold back the strength of the wine and fell asleep.

"Shopkeeper?" After calling several times in a row and no one answered, Li Wenqiang was relieved, put his hand in his mouth and whistled.

The sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded on the empty and quiet street, and then a carriage appeared, picked up Li Wenqiang and Li Wu, and disappeared into the dark night. (To be continued......)
