One hundred and one, beggars
"Goo, goo, goo".
There are long and long-standing empty city plans in the belly.
Lin Chaoge has been robbed of his money a few days ago, and he has a lot of wounds on his body, no money to see a doctor, and he has lost his identity certificate, so he can't even do the most inferior horse dealer, so he has to nest in a corner of the ruined temple all day long and give up on himself.
In desperation, she also went to Chang'an School for help, but every time someone didn't get close, as if someone had been notified, she was beaten out before half a minute.
scolded and scolded her for stealing things, stealing people, or owing money and not paying it back, which always attracted abuse from the unwitting masses, and even some went too far to hit her with rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs and stones.
Everyone shouts and fights, and there is no rat crossing the street more than this.
The burning hunger in his abdomen, which had not eaten for a long time, came from his abdomen, and Lin Chaoge had no choice but to go to the river to pour a few large amounts of tasteless river water, and only turned around and left when there was a little increase in his stomach.
She didn't know how long a person had been in a coma, only that the old wounds on her body would be healed and new ones would be added.
Severe scars on the body will fade one day, but not trauma.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sky is not dark, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and it is almost August, and the weather in Chang'an is as hot as ever.
Lin Chaoge tightened his outer robe, his clothes had not been changed for a long time, and they all had a lot of musty and sour smells, and the pungent smell was tight, and even most of his body was bitten by fleas and red packets, and his face was smeared black with black ash and he couldn't see his original appearance.
Because the only straw shoes that can be called intact are reluctant to wear, they are hidden in a haystack in a ruined temple.
There are no shoes to wear, so she can only wrap rags around and tie them to her feet, the road is rugged, one of her feet has long been worn out, the water blisters have been picked up and picked up again, the cloth strips are sticky with sand and pus, but she is like a person who has no consciousness and no pain, holding on to the blue brick wall step by step towards the direction of the broken temple, but the cold sweat on her face betrays her.
Not far from the narrow and empty streets, there were several sounds of wild dogs and wild cats gnawing on food, faintly accompanied by the smell of blood floating in the air.
"Stand, don't run!" Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps on the wide, uninhabited street, which stood out in the silence of the night.
Lin Chaoge insisted that it was none of her business, and with her current situation, it was difficult for her to protect herself, so she didn't care about the life or death of others.
"Help me." A small group of black shadows in the chase panicked and ran to Lin Chaoge, who was hiding in the corner, and the whole person arched to her side and curled up.
Helpless and hopeless.
The more you don't want to come, the more you come, when you are unlucky, you will stuff your teeth when you drink cold water, Lin Chaoge wrinkled his eyebrows into Sichuan characters, and he was about to push the person away and leave.
"Hurry up, Lao Tzu just saw that little rabbit cub running forward."
"Bah, damn, wait for Lao Tzu to catch him, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill him." The rough screaming and scolding were endless, accompanied by the sound of rustling.
"Help me" The young man's voice was full of pleading and despair, and he grabbed the corner of Lin Chaoge's cuffs.
Lin Chaoge listened to the footsteps that were approaching, and by the hazy moonlight, he lowered his head to the dirty hair that had formed a grass nest, and the thin figure that trembled into a sieve, obviously moved by compassion.
"You're not afraid that I'm shooting flowers, just come with me." Lin Chaoge gritted his teeth ruthlessly, turned around and ran, listening to those people getting closer and closer, plus staying with this eccentric boy, it was inevitable that he would be regarded as a comrade.
In this era when human life is like a mustard, who cares whether a little beggar of a black household is dead or alive.
"Help me." The boy repeated only one sentence from beginning to end, the dirty claws grabbed the hem of Lin Chaoge's clothes, panic would be thrown down, stumbling and stumbling from time to time by the roadside pebbles and coquettishly, just a distance, the boy didn't know how many times he fell, and the wound was bruised in many places.
"Come here with me." With a commanding tone, Xu really couldn't stand it, and pulled people over, if he was rubbing like this, they would die.
A few night birds cooed from time to time, dark clouds obscured the moonlight, and the dark and narrow alleys were pitch black, seeping people tightly.
"Damn, where did that blind man go, I saw it still here just now."
"I'm looking carefully, maybe it's nearby, and he can't run anywhere, it's unlucky, it's a big night."
"You're complaining, hurry up and deal with that kid, so that you can go home early and hug your wife and children" Several people scolded and scattered to find people.
The "crunching" footsteps faded away, and the suffocating silence returned to the small garbage truck.
This silence did not last long, and after a while, a man's desperate scream was faintly heard, and finally fell silent, and there seemed to be a faint trace of blood in the air.
This innocent man is probably regarded as a typical example of killing a hundred by mistake and not letting one go.
She really felt that the smell was terrible, her feet were almost unconscious in pain, her eyes were indeed a little moist, and the young man's body in her arms was trembling uncontrollably, conveying her fear to Lin Chaoge.
The lid of the trash can they were in wasn't completely closed—otherwise they would either be suffocated or stinking, so when the sounds faded away, the reflected light of the moonlight filtered through the small trash can, and even the peculiar putrid smell inside seemed to dissipate a little.
Lin Chaoge then cautiously widened the gap in the lid of the garbage can a little, and looked out through the crack, it was the second half of the night, there were not many people passing by in this alley, and it was night, only occasionally some "crunching" rats passed by.
Lin Chaoge relaxed a little at this time, and when he relaxed, he felt a burst of hunger that was unbearable like fire, his stomach gurgling, and his calves cramped.
The body of the young man in his arms was trembling, and he didn't know if he was hungry or because he had just been too frightened.
Lin Chaoge endured his hunger and pain, struggled out of the trash can, and tightened the slightly intact robe a little tighter again.
No matter how young a teenager is, even if he is a beggar who feeds for hundreds of families, he is still a teenager, not to mention that in ancient times, men and women did not sit at the same age at the age of seven.
"Are they gone?" The teenager asked timidly, and the black fingers were nervous.
"Well, don't be afraid...... Lin Chaoge was a little bitter and dry when he spoke, and the reason why the wound was painful and incurable, the whole person was not in good spirits: "They are gone." ”
Having said that, the half-grown boy still had no intention of leaving, limping and carefully following behind Lin Chaoge, walking hard, sometimes even tripping over the extra pebbles on the road.
It's already August, and the night here is still cold and windy through the alley, and the two and a half adults can't help but shiver.
"They are already gone, why do you still follow me" Lin Chaoge forced him back with indifference, he was already irritable enough tonight, what kind of person is this person doing.
The boy just looked at the place where the sound came from, and without making a sound, he limped closer again.
"I said, don't follow me." Lin Chaoge refused again, this person didn't understand human words or anything.
"Because you're a good person, I want to follow you," he said, looking like a homeless pet after being abandoned.
Lin Chaoge laughed cheekily when he heard it, listen, what kind of funny excuse is this, if she is a good person, then there are really no wicked people in this world, Lin Chaoge glanced at the pupils without focus, and then remembered what the people in front of him said, he is a blind man.
"It doesn't do you the slightest benefit to follow me, and you have to know that I'm just a beggar for food like you, and even a black household" Lin Chaoge only thought she was joking, and turned around and left without thinking.
Now she is unable to protect herself, and who will save her, even if she pities her, it is ridiculous.
"I know, but I still want to follow you." The young man's loud answer made Lin Chaoge, who was walking in front, slightly stunned, there is still such a person in this world, it's just that, anyway, she has nothing now, and she is worried about a hammer.
"If you want to follow, it's no different to me anyway." Stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, blackened his fingers, looked up speechlessly, and was in the middle of the air.
"Thank you." The young man was overjoyed, and his tone was full of joy.
After going out all night, the hunger in the stomach was still solved, but he came back with a small tail.
Lin Chaoge, Lin Chaoge, you are a big fool with a cold face and a hot heart, a knife mouth and a tofu heart.
The two returned to the ruined temple where Lin Chaoge lived, and Lin Chaoge returned to his thatched kennel, and lay down with his clothes closed and his eyes closed.
"Just find a place to sleep by yourself, and don't disturb me." Cracked teeth and mouth pretended to be vicious.
"Okay." The young man groped for a place close to Lin Chaoge to lie down.
Lin Chaoge, who was sleeping, sat in a dream for a long time, and the dream was the same as now, living in a dilapidated temple, hungry and having nothing to eat.
The difference is that the dream is a rainy night with heavy rain, thunderstorms.
There was a man who was sick, very sick, his body was burned and weak, and his breath was hot, and he had no money, no food, but rain and stinking food.
The patient naturally needs to seek medical advice, she took the person to the hospital to ask for medicine, others looked at it as a beggar and said that there was no money, and the identity of the black household made those people listen to it, just like looking at the eyes of rats in the sewer, and some of them have a bad temper and punch and kick them and say that it disturbs their sleep,
In the beating again and again, the fainter and weaker breathing of the person in her arms, but she continued to knock on the door without giving up, just changing her eyes one after another, beating again and again, gritting her teeth and holding back the heavy body that fell down at any time, knocking from the east of the city to the west of the city, from night to early morning.
The rain was so heavy that it didn't mean to stop for a minute, as if to laugh at her incompetence and cowardice.
Lin Chaoge didn't dream of the ending, the whole person had already woken up in a dream and sat up, this dream was too real, her back was already oozing layers of cold sweat, and she raised her hand to cover her sideburns and sweat.
It was already dawn outside.
