Chapter 200: The Youthful Heart
The Liang family has been in business for generations since the early Qing Dynasty, and has accumulated a huge fortune as a result, but also passed down a very strict family rule. That is, all adult males surnamed Liang must choose a time to wander for half a year without pennilessness, begging or working for a living. During this period, it is forbidden to burglary, block the road and rob, rob by force, and accept any form of financial support from relatives and friends. Otherwise, they will not have the right to inherit the huge family inheritance. This is a special baptism, but also a strict test, in order to cultivate the Liang family's children to be diligent and thrifty, hard-working and hard-working. Let them know how to cherish, know how to have, understand that every penny and a drop in money is not easy to come by, and prevent them from being a loser who scatters money and squanders it.
Liang Shiqi was born delicate and graceful, with an amazing appearance, although she was born in a wealthy family, lived a life of fine clothes and fine food, and was also humble and polite since she was a child, respecting her family education, and did not have the annoying habits of being arrogant and extravagant like that of rich children. But there is a small shortcoming, that is, stubborn temperament, strong competitiveness, once the decision is made, nine cows can't pull it back, often making Liang Jingxuan and his wife helpless and helpless. Rao is like this, and the couple still regard him as a pearl in their palms and the meat of their hearts, and they love him incredibly.
In the spring of the previous year, Liang Shiqi's elder brother Liang Zhenyu spent ten months successfully walking back to Binyang from Beijing in order to fulfill the family rules, creating a record for the longest wandering time and the farthest training journey for a male in his family, and was welcomed by the most solemn welcome ceremony in the history of the family, and was unanimously respected by all members of the clan. This made Liang Shiqi, who was unwilling to admit defeat, enthusiastic and proud, and eager to try to make a shocking move across the north and south like his brother.
Liang Jingxuan and his wife began to disagree, thinking that their daughter was playing around on impulse, just talking, and there was no need to take it seriously. It wasn't until she followed them every day that she was grinding and pestering, and she didn't give up until she reached her goal, that the couple went out of their bodies and panicked. This is repayable, not to mention the hardships of trekking through mountains and rivers along the way, going to villages and households, just thirsty for ditch water, sleeping under the eaves at night, and eating a sad meal, how can a delicate girl's family stand it? What's more, the world is dangerous and the society is complicated, what if you encounter a bad person? Besides, there is no such thing as a female streamer wandering and begging in the family rules! So he disagreed no matter what, saying that a thousand things and ten thousand were not allowed, and he also mobilized the third uncle and fourth uncle, seven aunts and eight aunts to do ideological work together, trying to use the strength of the whole clan to completely dispel his daughter's absurd ideas.
However, Liang Shiqi did not buy it, and instead of shaking her determination, she talked to the elders about the equality of men and women, the truth that daughters are also half the sky, and the importance of increasing experience and honing will. In the end, I made a killer move: you can agree or not, and I will have my own way to realize my ideals when the time comes. Of course, her so-called method is nothing more than to take advantage of people's unpreparedness!
Liang Jingxuan naturally knew that his daughter had a stubborn temperament and a bullish temper that would do what she said. So he sighed and reluctantly agreed to her request. But at the same time, he also made three chapters for her: First, she must not leave the coastal area no matter what. Second, the time should not exceed one month (of course, the sooner you come back, the better). The third is that you must accept the makeup of a professional disguiser.
Liang Shiqi's goal was achieved, of course, she nodded her head in agreement, and even smiled and kissed her tearful mother's face a few times.
After the father and daughter reached an agreement, Liang Jingxuan did not dare to slack off, and immediately summoned the most famous plastic surgeon in China to dress Liang Shiqi as a strange and ugly beggar with tangled and unkempt hair, dark skin like ink, and a pit face, and at the same time equipped her with a set of high-tech professional beggar suits, with a positioning tracking system, which can regularly and quantitatively spray special drugs that cause people to fall into a coma instantaneously according to the pressure index. When Xu Wenlong sat with her that time, he was so drunk by the medicine mist released by the clothes that he was drowsy until he couldn't fall asleep and slept until dawn. And Liang Shiqi terminated the contract in advance, so naturally it had no impact. In addition, Liang Jingxuan also specially set up a capable escort team of more than 20 people, under the guidance of the miniature tracker, to take turns to secretly protect Liang Shiqi 24 hours a day. Of course, this tracker and the escort must be hidden from her daughter, otherwise she will definitely not do it, and maybe a golden cicada will come out of her shell, throw away her clothes and walk away.
Everything was ready to stop, so Liang Shiqi chose a bright spring day, and under the melancholy and sad gaze of Liang Jingxuan and his wife, she began her ambitious adventure.
The days of begging are not easy, and they are not as fun as imagined, and even make people sad and miserable. It is inevitable to stay on the spot and rest on the spot, and more importantly, how to find a way to get food to fill your stomach. For the former, Liang Shiqi does not feel terrible, and sometimes feels quite happy. Since she was six years old, she and her brother have been trained in various summer camps. Although this kind of training is far from the reality and there is almost no comparison, at least it has trained a good physique, a good courage and a super ability to adapt to the environment. So the biggest headache for her is to solve the problem of eating three meals a day. Sometimes, for the sake of a small amount of food, not only do you have to walk many blocks and many shops, but you also have to suffer from countless people's cold eyes, ridicule and abuse. However, there are still good people in the world, especially those kind old men and old ladies, as well as those pure and innocent little boys and girls, who ignore the "dirty" and "smelly" that fills her body, often bring her some apples, bananas, buy a few bottles of milk, mineral water, and even give her their favorite toys without hesitation. This touched her very much, and at the same time, according to the ancestral family rules, she secretly copied these people who helped her in a notebook one by one, planning to come back and thank them after completing the experience.
One evening, Liang Shiqi, who had been begging for most of the day, finally got her sumptuous dinner: a can of Coke, a chicken leg and a few skewers of roast lamb. Just as she was huddled in a dark abandoned factory, ready to enjoy the fruits of her labor, she suddenly noticed that four or five ragged and lame men quickly surrounded her, staring at her with angry eyebrows and malicious intentions.
"What do you want to do, what do you want to do?" Liang Shiqi hurriedly put away her dinner in a panic, leaned against the cement pillar and questioned the beggars loudly, and secretly took out a bottle of special drugs from her pocket.
"What for?" A one-eyed dysentery snorted in his nose, picked up his crutches and pointed at Liang Shiqi and shouted, "Old beggar, do you understand the rules?" Don't let a fart go, dare to beg on my territory? Do you want us brethren to drink the northwest wind? ”
"It turned out to be a fellow practitioner, blame me for not going to worship the mountain first!" Liang Shiqi sighed, secretly stuffed the emergency drug in his hand into his pocket, and said to them in an old-fashioned tone, "I'm sorry, it's the first time I go out to beg, and I don't know the rules of the road, please forgive me!" After saying that, he gently placed the chicken leg that was hard to get by the head and feet of the dysentery. She had planned to take advantage of her weight and health to escape from the gap, forgiving those who were limping and unable to catch up with her no matter what. I just saw that they were all disabled, with vegetables on their faces, and they were all tattered and dirty, but they couldn't bear it, so they had to divide half of the food they begged for each other according to the method that their father had explained in advance, and they should apologize and apologize.
He didn't want to have dysentery but didn't act according to the rules, he shrugged his nose and glanced at the chicken leg on the ground, a trace of an ugly smile rose on his face, and then he sank his face again, pointed at Liang Shiqi and said viciously: "What else? Leave it all for me, and then roll as far as you want, and don't let me see you again! Otherwise...... Otherwise there's something for you! ”
Liang Shiqi looked at the "peers" who were missing arms and legs, had collapsed noses and squinted eyes, and had sad and blank faces, and an indescribable sourness suddenly surged in her heart. She shook her head and sighed, gently placed the coke and lamb skewers on the ground, and turned to silently leave the abandoned factory.
After leaving the abandoned factory, Liang Shiqi was no longer in the mood to beg for food, so she only blindly walked around the streets and alleys, and finally curled up under an overpass to close her eyes and rest. She plans to find a way to find something to eat after tonight.
I don't know how much time passed, and a rush and scattered footsteps woke up the sleepy Liang Shiqi. She hurriedly opened her eyes and followed the prestige, but was stunned to find that it was five "peers" led by dysentery who came in a hurry.
"What else do you want?" Liang Shiqi looked at the dysentery that was getting closer and closer, spread her hands and said angrily and helplessly, "I don't have anything to eat, I've given it all to you, and I'm hungry." ”
The dysentery head walked over without saying a word, bowed his waist and lowered his eyebrows and said to Liang Shiqi: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, please punish me." ”
Liang Shiqi was completely stunned and dizzy, looking at the dysentery at a loss, and didn't understand what was going on for a long time.
A lame little beggar took out a crumpled paper bag from his arms, lowered his head and respectfully placed it at Liang Shiqi's feet, and then moved back to the side of the dysentery head.
The paper bag was loosened, and a stack of greasy, crumpled pentagonal and dime tickets scattered.
"You ...... What are you ......" Liang Shiqi looked at the five "peers" dumbfounded, unable to guess what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourds.
The dysentery head still hung his head and said mechanically: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, please punish me......"
"No, no, no...... You're right, I'm wrong. I won't punish you, and you don't punish me. Liang Shiqi didn't know what to do, thinking that the dysentery was changing tricks to punish herself, so she waved her hand and stepped back and said.
A one-eyed beggar saw it, looked at Liang Shiqi and said softly: "Our boss broke the rules of the road, caused you not to eat dinner, and was scolded by the group master, so I specially came to apologize to you, and want to tell you that you can beg freely within a radius of ten miles, and we will never trouble you again." Also, the money ...... This is the money we pay you for dinner. ”
"Tuan Ye? Meal? No, no, you guys go, get out of here, I won't blame you. Liang Shiqi listened to it and finally knew what was going on. She naturally knew that the group master was the general leader of the beggar gang, similar to the leader of the beggar gang in martial arts, but she didn't understand why the group leader knew about the dysentery and bullying so quickly, but at this time, she didn't have time to think so much, she just hoped that these people would leave as soon as possible, after all, they were also poor and pathetic people, and it was estimated that they couldn't get food for a while, and the situation forced them to cause.
"Thank you, big sister, thank you big sister for your magnanimity! You take the money, you take the money and we'll leave immediately. The dysentery head lowered his head and said gratefully.
"That's it," Liang Shiqi bent down and took out a dime of banknotes from the paper bag, raised it in his hand and said to the dysentery, "I have already collected the money, and I won't blame you anymore, you can go." ”
"Thank you, thank you!" The dysentery head and the others thanked him repeatedly, turned around and staggered away. The lame little beggar bowed to Liang Shiqi, picked up the paper bag on the ground, jumped and chased after his companions.
Liang Shiqi stared at their distant figures blankly, and her heart felt like knocking over the king bottle.
After the apology turmoil, Liang Shiqi became more cautious and cautious. After that, every time she went to beg, she had to check in advance if there were any "peers" who were "working". If there is, she will immediately shift her "position" and look for other targets, so as not to clash again and cause unnecessary trouble. However, as a result, her daily harvest was greatly reduced, and starvation became commonplace. But with her stubborn personality, she still did not dispel the idea of continuing to wander, and she was still willing to run and break her legs, but she was still hungry and full. Until one day I met Xu Wenlong......
