Chapter 229: The Beggar Gang Scandal
"I didn't mean to lie to you, I have a hard time." The girl knelt on the ground and cried profusely, but her mouth still stubbornly defended.
"What's the hardship, your father is dead, you sell yourself to bury your father, your spirit is commendable, but our master has already given you gold, and the gold is enough for you to live in this life, why do you continue to sell yourself to bury your father?" Tai Bai Xing saw Tianjun's displeased expression, and asked the girl in a thin voice.
Yang Jian pushed Taibai and said: "Taibai, you won't fail to see that selling her body to bury her father is completely a cover for this child, I don't think she has a dead father at all......"
"My dad is dead!" The girl shouted, her voice was very poignant, and her eyes were full of desperate bitterness, and everyone was stunned.
Tianjun asked quietly, "Child, what is your name?" ”
"Bright Moon."
"Mingyue, tell me, how did your father die?"
The child said, "I was beaten to death by our boss." ”
"Your boss?" Everyone frowned. Mingyue began to tell about her and her father's experience with the beggars.
If time could be passed all over again, on that night when the bright moon was in the sky and the stars were chaotic, Mingyue would definitely not tell her father that she was hungry and wanted to eat a snack. But that six-year-old night, Mingyue was hungry and begged her father to go to the street to buy snacks for her. And Mingyue's father loves his clever and cute little daughter so much, because his wife died early, he pities his daughter even more and almost responds to his request. So, on this night when the bright moon was in the sky and the stars were chaotic, Mingyue and her father got up from the bed with a grunt and took his little daughter to the street to find food.
He bought a lot of skewers and lo-mei for Mingyue, and watched his daughter eat the skewers with a red face. It's cute, he smiles contentedly.
The father and daughter walked back while eating, he took Mingyue's hand so carefully, and walked home slowly from the market. But as he walked, he was hit on the head, and his eyes were dark, and he fell. A quarter of an hour before he fell unconscious, he heard Mingyue's milky cry.
When he awoke, he found himself in a stinking dark room, surrounded by people. Auge is unbearable. The entire dark room was filled with the groans of pain.
Mingyue's father moved his body, only to find that he had lost his limbs, and his entire body was left with his torso, like a steamed bun. The wound is painful as the body moves.
Mingyue's father endured the pain and asked the brother next to him who also had his hands and feet amputated, where is this. The man said, "This is a gang of beggars!" ”
Mingyue's father didn't understand why the leader of the beggar gang had to amputate their limbs when they were arrested. The man told him it was the latest way for the beggars to beg for money. The beggars went out into the streets and grabbed men and women. Hands or feet are amputated, and medicine is applied to the wound, and when the injury is healed, it becomes disabled. These disabled people are then placed on moving wooden planks and pulled up the street in a busy area. Arouse people's sympathy and pity for the disabled, begging people for money.
"Dude, you are new here, and it is worse than me to have your limbs amputated directly, and I only had one hand and one foot amputated when I was first caught." Mingyue's humanity beside her father.
Mingyue's father asked, "Then why are you now having your remaining hands and feet amputated?" ”
"Because cutting off a hand and a foot doesn't cost that much anymore. The Boss invented a new method of begging, so that children could be more sympathetic by pulling our torsos and begging on the street. ”
Mingyue's father rose hope again in despair, and he hoped to see Mingyue when his wounds no longer festered. When he saw Mingyue, Mingyue was already a dirty little beggar covered in wounds.
Mingyue began to follow the instructions of the leader of the beggar gang to pull her father to the street to beg, at first Mingyue couldn't get so much money, and she was either starved or beaten every day. There are countless children like Mingyue in the beggar gang, and the leaders of the beggar gang inflict all kinds of corporal punishment on the children every day in order to get more money for the children. Looking at the large and small injuries on Mingyue's body, Mingyue's father really hated not being able to kill those bad guys, but his limbs were amputated, and he was useless, not to mention revenge, even suicide was a problem.
After living in the beggar gang for two years, Mingyue's father finally died of injury and hatred, and the leader of the beggar gang immediately thought of the eye-catching idea of selling himself to bury his father, and asked Mingyue to go to the market to kneel and erect a sign.
On the ground, the kneeling Mingyue couldn't cry.
A room full of immortals were in a heavy mood.
"Taibai, help Mingyue find a good family to adopt." Tianjun frowned.
Tai Bai Xing led Mingyue out.
Yang Jian arched his hand and said: "Heavenly Monarch, can you let your subordinates destroy the nest of the beggar gang and punish those wicked people who have lost their conscience for doing evil?" ”
"Don't be busy, you go to all parts of the world to investigate first, and see how many beggars of this nature there are? Collect detailed materials and hand them over to the emperor of the world to dispose of! ”
Yang Jian took the order and went, and Tianjun and I were left in the house.
A breeze blew in through the window, and my blades of grass swayed in the wind, touching the hair of the Heavenly Monarch.
Tianjun looked back at me, his frowning brows gradually stretched, "Jiangzhu, do you have anything to say to me?" ”
I said, "I would like to sincerely praise the wisest Lord of the Three Realms. ”
"There is such a shameful evil thing in the world, where am I still a wise lord."
"The Heavenly Monarch is wrong, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, the existence of evil is not the fault of the Heavenly Monarch, and the Heavenly Monarch did not take out his anger on the human king because of this, and handed over this matter to the human monarch himself, which shows that the Heavenly Monarch is a wise monarch." I am sincerely happy, thinking about how arbitrary and authoritarian the administration of the Heavenly Monarch was, and after that love catastrophe, he was also democratic and enlightened.
"Zhu, you can really explain me, but in any case, after listening to your words, my heart feels much better."
*************************
After the beggar gang incident, all the gods and immortals didn't want Tianjun to continue to observe the people's livelihood, but Tianjun still had no intention of returning to heaven. As soon as everyone summed up, they proposed that the Heavenly Monarch rest for a few days in a summer resort on earth, and the Heavenly Monarch saw that the weather in the world was hot, so he agreed.
When they arrived at the picturesque summer resort, the gods and immortals went to soak in the clear spring when they were busy. Tianjun took a jade basin filled with water, placed me in the basin, and said: "Follow me in the world for a few days, you have also suffered, drink some clear spring and replenish some water!" ”
"And where are you going?" I asked.
Tianjun said: "I will also go to the clear spring with Taibai and them." With that, the Celestial Monarch ran out of the room with smoke on his head, and as soon as the Celestial Monarch left, I hurriedly flew out of the basin and appeared in human form.
While fanning vigorously with my sleeve. While hiding by the door and peeking outside the door. I'm also having a heat breakdown, and I'm going to soak in the spring too.
There was no one outside the room except for the winding corridor, so I hurriedly dodged out of the door to find the clear spring.
Walk to the backyard of the picturesque summer resort. Just listen to the sound of rushing water. Follow the prestige. I saw a silver train descending from the sky, and there was a waterfall! I flew excitedly towards the waterfall.
Drain your clothes and plunge headlong into the pool at the bottom of the waterfall. I washed and swam in the water as I wanted, not noticing that there was still a man lurking in the pool, until the man came out of the bottom of the water with a fierce man, and I screamed in fright.
The man was screaming louder than I was, and we screamed opposite each other for a moment before stopping, staring at each other, and the other saw me clearly.
"Zhu!"
"Yang Jian!"
The two of them flew out of the waterfall at the same time, grabbed the shore and put on their clothes.
Yang Jian wiped the water droplets on his face with the back of his hand, and at the same time pulled my hand and said, "Hey, what's the matter with you?" Didn't you hurry back to heaven? You're good enough to keep up? ”
Yang Jian was a little anxious, and the strength of holding my arm was very rough, I broke free from him and said, "The general hurt me." ”
Yang Jian awkwardly let go of my hand, turned his back and said, "I'm sorry, I'm anxious for you." ”
Looking at Yang Jian's back, I was moved in my heart and wanted to comfort him a few words, when I suddenly heard the call of Taibai and other immortals in the air: "Yang Jian-"
I hurriedly hid my body and turned into a small grass at Yang Jian's feet. Yang Jian panicked when he saw the gods coming, he turned around and wanted me to hide, but found that I had long since disappeared. I watched him at his feet with a stunned look on his face, and my heart sank.
Taibai and the other immortals flew down beside Yang Jian.
Tai Bai Xing said: "Yang Jian, what did you roar and scream just now?" Tianjun thinks you have encountered some danger, send us to take a look, are you okay? ”
"It's fine." Yang Jian forced his composure.
Tai Bai Xing squirted: "Then trouble General Yang, you are okay, don't roar ghosts, okay?" It's a rare time for us to relax and swim happily! Mixed with you. ”
Yang Jian grabbed Tai Bai Xing's shoulder with one hand and said, "I'm sorry, Tai Bai, I apologize to you, how about we go into the water again?" ”
"I think your waterfall and pool water is better than our clear spring, General Yang really enjoys it better than the old immortals."
"It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, let's go into the water!" Yang Jian said, taking the lead and taking off his clothes. Tai Bai Xing also couldn't wait to take off his clothes, revealing his thin and shriveled upper body. The gods went into the water like frogs, full of white flesh. I was embarrassed for a moment, and flew away in a wisp of green smoke.
***************************
On the clear spring, the Heavenly Monarch was lying on his back, his head resting on the shore, his eyes closed, or perhaps he really fell asleep.
I appeared safely by his side, and the four dimensions did not have the usual sweeping pressure.
I was secretly surprised in my heart, and as I crept over to Tianjun and squatted down, I carefully looked at his calm and beautiful face, and there was a trace of mist in my eyes. I could still look at him up close like that.
Suddenly, the Heavenly Monarch's eyebrows moved, his eyeballs squirmed under his eyelids, and the pressure from all directions was densely covered from the top of his head. Tianjun grabbed my hand and asked, "Who?" ”
I was so excited that I had turned into grass the moment the Heavenly Monarch opened his eyes. The feeling of him holding my hand still fills my chest, and the warm flame tugs at my heartstrings.
Tianjun looked at the body of my grass that he was holding in his hand in a daze, and said incredulously: "Why is the Zhuzhu grass you?" I felt that I was holding a pair of hands. ”
"Is the Heavenly Monarch dreaming? It's just that if you let go of me, my waist will be broken by you. ”
As soon as Tianjun was told by me, he quickly let go, and I fell into the clear spring. The water of the spring was lubricated and refreshing, and I comfortably spread the blades of grass on the water, letting the spring wash over my body.
Tianjun saw me lazily spreading out on the water and bathing in the sunshine, and said with a smile: "This time there is sunshine and sweet springs, you can have a full meal, and you won't be woken up hungry in the middle of the night tonight, right?" ”
I didn't answer, and soon fell asleep.
When I woke up in the middle of the night, I had returned to my room in the lodge, still in the jade basin on the table under the window.
On the bed not far away, Tianjun was sleeping soundly, breathing evenly.
I remembered that during the day, when the Heavenly Monarch closed his eyes and rested, I was not oppressed by strong pressure, and I could still retain my human body, and at this moment, the four dimensions were as calm as the wind, without the slightest pressure. I tried to fly out of the emerald basin and land on the ground in human form.
Yes, when the Celestial Monarch closes his eyes, I will not turn into a grass body. I gently walked over to the bed and threw a handful of fireflies in the air. Through the misty fluorescent light, I quietly gazed at the sleeping face of the Heavenly Monarch, and my heart was full of tenderness.
Tianjun fell asleep, and let out a dream: "Zhuzhu ......"
I started to cry with happiness again. I know he never forgot me, he just put me in the deepest and most secret place in his heart.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed my hand, and he got up from the bed and shouted, "Who are you?" ”
The pressure came down from the top of my head, and I fell to my knees, "Don't open your eyes!" I begged. (To be continued......)
