From then on, he continued to live as a beggar, but the life of a beggar was not suitable for him, so he soon resumed his old job. Now that he has the identity of a beggar as a cover, he has also learned the lesson of the last time, and has taken some street children and some like-minded people as his subordinates.
was doing a good job, but suddenly a person who claimed to be an old friend of the former beggar came, and was identified by him and chased all the way. finally developed into a rudder of dozens of people, and they fled all the way to this point, and now there are only three adults and these eight children left.
Huang Jie is the old man's protΓ©gΓ©, and he is responsible for every transaction, but unfortunately this kid's family was killed by foreigners before. He has never had any good feelings towards foreigners, and now he is even more questioning his decision, and the old man will naturally be dissatisfied.
"Master, other disciples can listen to you, but this matter can't be said no matter what. My family of more than 30 people was victimized by those foreigners, and I was the only one who survived, and I would not have anything to do with them in any case. Huang Jie was unmoved, still sticking to his heart.
The old man's body was instantly murderous, and he stared at Huang Jieyin viciously and said, "Very good, do you kid feel that your wings are stiff now, and you don't look at my old man in your eyes." For the sake of you following me for so many years, if you can't do this, then you can go! β
Huang Jie's face changed slightly, the old man was indeed kind to him, when his family was destroyed by foreigners, when he was lonely on the street, it was the old man who took him in. A few years later, it can be regarded as ensuring that he gets through the most difficult time, and now this is clearly to drive himself away.
Huang Jie also began to hesitate for a while, but after glancing at Su Xiaocao who was in a coma, he suddenly said with a serious face: "Master, ......." β
"You don't have to say anything, let's go!" The old man raised his hand and directly intercepted Huang Jie's words, waved his hand at him and asked him to leave.
Huang Jie didn't say anything more, bowed down and saluted the old man, turned around and walked outside the house. He no longer cares what Su Xiaocao's fate will be in the future, no matter who the old man will sell her to, these will be the last things he did for the old man.
The old man watched Huang Jie's figure melt into the night, the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up a trace of hideousness, and ordered the dog behind him: "Follow him, find out where he is safe, and then report to the government to arrest people, and receive some reward money by the way." β
"Yes, master!" The dog's face was happy, he knew that Huang Jie had been abandoned by his master, and now it was time for him to take his place and become a senior brother.
He had been waiting for this day for a long time, and tonight was the time for him to realize his dream, and with excitement, the dog hurriedly followed out to follow Huang Jie.
After the old man had left everyone, he turned around to look at Su Xiaocao in a coma, and at first glance, he suddenly felt a little familiar. Especially the appearance of such a woman dressed as a man, but he just felt familiar, and he didn't think about it, but was attracted by Su Xiaocao's beauty.
"Hehe, this little lady is definitely a good price to sell to the Qinglou, it's only possible that the old man is being hunted down everywhere now, and he can only cheapen those foreign devils." The old man muttered to himself, and began to put the hood on Su Xiaocao's head again, and when he resisted her, he walked out of the house.
Leave eight children and you look at me, I look at you and you don't know what to do, the eldest of them is only in his early teens, and they don't know much about adults. But just now Huang Jie was driven away by the master, they can see it!
Huang Jie has always taken the most care of them, and they are all adopted by Huang Jie, which will know that Huang Jie will not come back in the future, and a few little guys don't know what to do for a while.
"Big brother, what are we going to do?" The skinny third son, with a pair of confused big eyes, looked overwhelmed.
"Let's go find the boss, we can't stay here anymore." Under the leadership of the eldest brother who took the lead, the eight children also ran out of the broken house.
In the middle of the moon, it was midnight, and the whole provincial city fell silent under the cover of night, and the shops in the bazaar were closed and slew. Most of the streets are deserted, except for a wharf in the Thirteen Lines of Foreign Concessions, which is brightly lit.
This is a gathering place for foreigners' goods, and it is guarded by the most strict foreign army, and it begins to load and unload goods here late at night. Some of the things that can't be seen are gathered until the middle of the night before they start loading and unloading, in order to hide people's eyes and ears.
The old beggar appeared outside the dock against Su Xiaocao, negotiated with the foreigner guarding the door, and he was soon allowed to enter. A foreign soldier led him to the office at the wharf, and after the foreign soldier reported it, he quickly let the old man in by himself.
The room was very bright, and when the old beggar man carried Su Xiaocao in on his shoulder, his eyes were shaken for a moment, and it took a moment to regain his sight after closing his eyes.
A tall middle-aged man in a decent foreign dress looked at the beggar old man coldly, holding a glass wine glass in his hand and slowly shaking the red liquid in the glass.
When the old man saw him, a flattering smile immediately appeared on his face, put Su Xiaocao on the chair beside him, and said with a smile: "Dear Mr. Peter, this is the last woman to be sent, and it is also the most beautiful woman. If you can, hopefully you'll raise the price a little bit. β
Peter slowly drained the wine in the glass, put down the wine glass and got up directly to the unconscious Su Xiaocao, and reached out to remove his hood. A melon seed face instantly imprinted into his sight, Su Xiaocao, who was dressed as a man, looked very neutral at the moment, and he didn't know what his hobby was for this Peter, but he was very satisfied with Su Xiaocao's dress.
After pondering for a moment, he said in a stiff Chinese: "This woman is indeed good, but it is only good, dear China Fei, if you can still cooperate with us in the future and continue to send women to us, this price increase is naturally negotiable." But just now, I heard your tone seem to say that this is the last business, so naturally the price can't be raised. β
The old man's name is Duan Fei, he is an authentic person from the capital, and he knows and does business with this foreigner because he met him in the Qinglou in the capital before. The two are also old acquaintances, and they have bought and sold each other many times, so they can be regarded as old customers!
Hearing that Peter didn't plan to increase the price for himself, Duan Fei was also helpless for a while, but fortunately, he had decided not to do this business in the future, and he had indeed saved a lot of money recently. He was about to change careers and do something else to avoid the haunting beggar who chased him all the way.
