Chapter 4 returns to modern times

As a group of children walked through the streets and alleys, they walked for most of the day, and finally got into an area of broken bricks and tiles.

It is not as bright as the buildings on the main streets, there are broken sheds and broken tiles everywhere, and the road surface is also broken mud and bricks.

A thought arose in my mind: the ghetto, the ancient ghetto.

But it is much more popular here than on the main street, and many people greet the thin kid named Lang Ge'er: "Lan Ge'er is back." ”

"Brother Lan is good."

"Brother Lan brought back another one."

The young man named Lan Ge is obviously very popular here, and he keeps responding enthusiastically: "Well, hello sister-in-law, we're back." ”

"Uncle Zhao is good."

"Aunt Qin is good, I just met a poor person, I met a mountain bandit, and I was homeless, so I brought it back first."

Watching Lan Ge'er give them an enthusiastic response, I also added a kind of warmth to my heart.

It seems that these people are good.

There are always many people in the world, although they are poor, but they are rich with human feelings.

After passing some houses, and over some broken walls, a group of beggar children in front of me crossed the walls and alleys with ease, and I followed closely behind, and soon came to a broken yard.

There were a few rooms in the courtyard with broken roofs, and the sunlight was pouring down, and the light in the house was excellent, but it occurred to me that if it was a rainy day, I am afraid that this would not be the case.

Lan Ge'er stood in the courtyard and said to me, "Whether you are homeless or poor, since you have come here, you must abide by the rules here. Otherwise, leave now. We don't accept them. ”

As soon as I thought about what I said, I hurriedly said enthusiastically: "What Brother Lan said is that if you say the rules, I will definitely follow the rules." No two words. ”

"Okay, first, I'm the biggest here, I'm in charge, don't disobey me. By the way, you have to listen to me. ”

Xu was afraid that I didn't understand the meaning of disobedience, so he told me more bluntly.

I nodded and smiled, "As it should be, as it should be." ”

"Second, with our gang, we can't steal or rob, although we are poor, we can't steal and rob like the city god temple is tall and rely on them, otherwise we won't stay for a day." When he said this, Lan Ge's tone was stern and his face was solemn, like a very old-fashioned teacher.

But the truth is true.

I nodded hurriedly, "It should be, it should be." Don't steal, don't rob. ”

"Third, you can't be idle, you have to work more, begging when you should beg, cleaning when you should clean, we don't raise lazy people here."

I nodded yes.

"Fourth, remember that everything you ask for is distributed by everyone in a unified manner, and you are not allowed to swallow it privately, and you must let the children and girls first. This is important. Can it be done? "When he said this, Brother Lan stared into my eyes.

I immediately said without hesitation: "Certainly, definitely, I should let the little girl first, and if there is an old one, let the old one, of course, it refers to the old man, not to me who is old." "I'm afraid of ambiguity, after all, I'm an old man compared to these children, so when I saw that Brother Lan's face changed a little, I hurriedly explained clearly.

Seeing Brother Lan's relieved look, I was also relieved. But I suddenly found a problem: among these children, it seems that I am the biggest, so if I have to let the children and girls, wouldn't I be the last? So, is there anything else I can eat?

"Also, the fifth ......"

"Ah, and, well, you say it." I didn't expect there to be so many rules here, but after thinking about it, I thought that since I came, I should follow the rules.

"I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when I've thought about it." Fortunately, Lan Ge'er didn't really say the rules after five.

Then Brother Lan arranged my room, which happened to be the same room as the little black boy who brought me water, although it was smaller, but it was enough to be happy to have a place to live.

There was no covering, just dried weeds. Fortunately, it is the early autumn season, and it is not lukewarm.

Knowing that I had suffered such a great calamity today, and that I had worked hard all day, Brother Lan was very gracious and did not let me work anymore, and allowed me to go to my room to rest first. I was as tired as a dead dog, and I fell asleep as soon as I lay down on the ground.

I don't know how long I slept, but I heard someone call out to me: "Brother Yong, wake up, it's time to eat." ”

I was like I was falling apart, and I didn't want to move, but when I heard the word rice, I suddenly got up, but I saw that it was a little black child, no, her name was Shen Yan, and her nickname was Xiaoyanzi who was calling me, and I listened to her nagging and introducing me before going to bed, but I didn't listen to it too much, so I fell asleep, but I still remember her name.

Shen Yan is only eight or nine years old, although her face is greasy and black, her eyes are black and white, fresh and tender, revealing a spirit energy. Through the black stain, she can still vaguely tell that she is a girl with a delicate face, which is very attractive. I saw her beckoning me with her little hand, and I didn't know where the strength came from, so I got up and followed her out.

Just kidding, you can't miss the food.

I saw that Brother Lan had already formed a big circle with everyone in the courtyard, and there were a few more faces in the crowd that I had never seen, two of them looked like boys of twelve or thirteen, although their bodies were still thin, but the skeleton had begun to form, if it weren't for long-term malnutrition, I am afraid that the height would have increased a few more points.

In a large pot in the human circle, soup and vegetable porridge are boiling, although it is still clear soup and little water, but my legs are still weak by the bursts of aroma.

It is true that the poorer people are, the hungrier they become.

I would never have looked at this kind of porridge before, but now I smell it and drool.

My big man squatted there like a group of children, and he suddenly rose a head taller, which made many children laugh out loud, and I also laughed and smirked with them.

Maybe I was really beaten stupid, and I don't know what to laugh at.

I laughed, and they laughed even more happily, except for the two older boys, whose faces were expressionless, but when everyone couldn't help laughing, they laughed along.

My heart suddenly warmed, and this feeling was actually good.

Suddenly, my heart was sour. This situation makes me feel embarrassed. I, a big man of more than 1.8 meters, actually squatted on the ground with a bunch of little children waiting to drink vegetable porridge, or rotten vegetable gruel!

Is there anything worse than this? But later life taught me,

There is no worst, only worse!

Sure enough, as Brother Lan said, one of the tall boys held the spoon, and the youngest girl first served the soup with a broken bowl, and then went to serve it from small to large, I was naturally mentally prepared to be the last to drink the soup, but I didn't expect that when it was my turn, I found that there was still one person who did not go to Sheng, and that person was Brother Lan, and he was still in line behind me, becoming the last person to drink the soup.

I was embarrassed to serve the broken bowl that Xiaoyanzi sent me, but asked Lan Ge'er to serve it first, Lan Ge'er shook his head and said, "Here, I am the biggest, so you serve first." ”

"Like, I'm older than you." I muttered.

The two tall boys suddenly looked at me coldly, and I was shocked. But I'm kind.

Lan Ge'er waved his hand, signaled the two tall boys not to mind, and said to me with a smile: "Regardless of age, I am the eldest here, so I will be the last to drink." ”

Hey, this boss, he's really stylish.

I was afraid that there would be a misunderstanding for no reason, and I had no intention of arguing again, so I took the broken bowl and served the soup.

The tall boy with the spoon looked at me and gave me a small half spoonful, clear soup.

I didn't say anything, after all, I am a newcomer, and I can't eat more because I am tall, just as I was about to turn around, Lan Ge'er spoke: "Ling Xiao, fill him up again, and add vegetable porridge." ”

I looked at the little porridge left in the pot, I was embarrassed to ask for more, and hurriedly said: "I have eaten most of the bread before, and I am not too hungry, so this is enough." "In fact, my body is hungry and weak, and my legs are weak. But under the fence, you have to understand the rules.

Lan Ge'er's face was straight, obviously unhappy.

That called Ling Xiao said with a cold face: "Brother Lan said that Tim will be Tim, you are less verbose." "It's really obedient, then add it.

"Oh." I agreed, and didn't say anything else, and sure enough, Ling Xiao filled me another half bowl of relatively thick one.

Seeing that Brother Lan only had some clear soup and little water left, I was moved by the excitement in my heart.

I didn't say anything all night, and the next morning, before dawn, I didn't wake up, but I was woken up by the little swallow, and I rushed out in a daze.

After running for more than half an hour, I came to a market, and then found that I was following these children to pick up leftover leaves that others had dropped or picked unwanted.

I'm a big man, with a red old face and a bunch of little kids picking it up, to really pick up a small half of the frame, as if I was happy or something, I didn't expect the little swallow to shave my face and shame me, I looked at it, it was really, she picked up more than twice as much as me.

Suddenly felt that Bai Huo was so old, and he was not as capable as an eight or nine-year-old girl.

I have a big wish in my heart! Tomorrow, no, in the future, we will definitely pick up more than these kids!

Alas, my mother, there is no worst, only worse! What a day it is! I miss Wang Dahai!

After picking up vegetables in the morning, I went to the backyard of the major mansions around noon to keep watch, waiting for the rich family to throw some leftovers, and the same was true at night, and I begged for food in the streets and alleys at irregular times.

It's really a chicken and a cow to be a dead dog, and after returning home from being tired and a dead dog, he can't lie down immediately, but also clean, chop wood, and when it's his turn to be on duty, he has to cut vegetables and cook. The whole day was full of arrangements and hard work.

It greatly subverted my concept of beggars being lazy.

Alas, this life!

The hard work of two consecutive days made me feel mixed in my heart, and I couldn't tell what it tasted like, bitter, spicy, sour, salty, but lacking sweetness.

When it was finally time to rest, I lay on the straw as if I had fallen apart, and fell asleep without caring about anything.

I must sleep well, and I can't wait for the little swallow to wake me up tomorrow, so I must get up and go to the market to pick up vegetables. Otherwise, I will blush when I drink soup.

The next day, I woke up suddenly, and I turned over in a daze, and it was still dark, and I couldn't open my eyes, so I called: "Swallow, get up quickly, hurry up, pick up the vegetables, and let people rob them when it's late." ”

"Well, what time is it, you can't let people sleep, it's not time for the morning run."

"Who is this, is it not, can you let people sleep well? Big weekend's. ”

"Zhan Yong, I'll fuck your uncle, what's the ghost number, your voice, I'm hugging a beautiful woman, I'm about to kiss it, let you shout away!"

I suddenly heard the voices of Li Xiaole, Wang Dahai and other roommates ringing in my ears, and I was suddenly surprised in my heart, and I rubbed my eyes in disbelief!

Damn, really, the beds, tables, chairs, and bathrooms in the dorm room. I still couldn't believe it, so I ran to the window and looked at it, the unlit sky was dark, but the huge grassland outside the window and the occasional bright teaching building on the opposite side still told me that I was back again, back to the modern era.

In order to confirm, I slapped myself in the face a few times.

It hurts, it hurts, but it's beautiful!

His grandma drips! I'm alive again, beautiful, so beautiful!

Excited, I ran directly to Wang Dahai's bunk, hugged Wang Dahai and kissed him, leaving Wang Dahai stunned.

"Hey, what are you doing, oops, this stinks." Wang Dahai covered his face and shouted. The others were also stunned, and when they watched me turn my target to them, they all held their backs in the way.

When I turned around to kiss Li Xiaole and another roommate, Su Xiaohong, both of them looked at me vigilantly with their backs and kept my distance.

It's like a little daughter-in-law facing gangsters.

I happily waved my fist and laughed: "Damn, Lao Tzu is back again, no more picking up vegetables, no more drinking vegetable soup, no more asking for food!" ”

Wang Dahai, Li Xiaole, and Su Xiaohong looked at each other, frightened and inexplicable, and Li Xiaole said after a while: "It's over, Zhan Yong has become a psychopath!" He's crazy! ”

Wang Dahai and Su Xiaohong also said with palpitations: "Uncle, I will never look at my phone when I walk in the future, and I must not bump into it again." ”

"But isn't it, look at this master, what have you crashed into, what are the words you are calling, drinking vegetable soup, asking for food, beggars?"
