found a night food stall with an air death lamp, and Debele, who wiped the dust off his face with his clothes, made five bowls of braised and boiled fire in a row, and then he burped and gasped: "It's considered full."

Looking up and down the patched gown on Debele's body, and then looking at the hair on Debele's head, which was obviously cut short with corrugated stubble, the leopard couldn't help sighing, and said to Debele, who was burping: "Look at you, this is not less? I said Lord Debelle, no matter how bad you are, you were also the number one person in Sijiu City back then. Even if you are narrow, then you will not make it like this, right? ”

With a wry smile, Debel drank the remaining little soup in the bowl, and said to Xiang Youbao: "Xiangye, you will bury me here!" But whoever loses his family business in Sijiu City, and who can survive for a few months, can be regarded as God opening his eyes, if I hadn't met you tonight, there would be no one in this world, and there would be no such thing as me."

Let the shopkeeper of the night food stall send over two bowls of coarse tea, Xiang Youbao sipped the hot coarse tea, and said to Debele, who was smiling bitterly: "Didn't you say that you saw Tian'er looking for a folding basket to do business in Yanlai Building?" This work is miserable, but you can almost have a full meal, right? ”

Shaking his head heavily, Debelle smiled bitterly and replied to Xiang Youbao: "To survive in this forty-nine city, it is easy to say, but it is not simple!" Look at me, didn't you ask someone to wash it at home? The original friends and buddies said that they could meet and talk, but they met on the road, and they all quickly turned their faces and pretended not to know! The cook in the Yanlai building looked at me when I rewarded the money with a thick hand, and remembered the old feelings, so I collected some folding baskets and went to Dashilar to sell them to Liba to eat. But there are also gangs that sell folding baskets, and when you see me, a lonely ghost is easy to bully, this is not "

Pulling the patched clothes on his body, Debelle shook his head helplessly: "Hit me once you see me!" In the second half of today, I was all cleaned, and even the five eldest sons who slept in the sand bed shop tonight were gone! If I hadn't met you."

As if talking about sadness, Debelle pulled his sleeve to wipe the tears welling up in his eyes, and cried in a hoarse voice: "It is said that God will not die of hunger, but why won't God give me a way to live?" ”

He patted Debel on the shoulder, and Xiang Youbao whispered to Debele: "Why didn't Debele go to the main gate of the fire to find my uncle?" My uncle promised you that when can you get the debt of a hundred oceans? ”

Blinded by tears, Debelle shook his head weakly: "As I am now, I can have a few big sons on my body, and I can be searched in the blink of an eye." If Na Jiu Ye really gave me a hundred oceans, I'm afraid that my little life will have to be explained immediately! ”

Nodding slowly, Xiang Youbao casually threw down a few tickets on the table, and whispered to Debele: "Don't mention the other things first, I'll find you a place to live first!" I've got something to do with Debelle here."

Hurriedly drinking a bowl of hot coarse tea, Debele stood up with some sadness: "I'm like this, what else can I do to help you?" ”

led Debel towards a small chicken feather shop at the mouth of the alley, but Xiang Youbao lowered his voice and said to Debele, who was following him: "After the autumn insect meeting, is there an object made of crispy brass in Debele's house, which makes people break it?" ”

Blinking his eyes, Debelle nodded vigorously: "It's a crispy brass little net bottle, when the family asked someone to wash it, a few gangsters who fell in love with the small net bottle refused to let go, and they twisted the small net bottle into a twisted object, not to mention an object worth two hundred oceans, and it became scrap copper!" ”

"Whose hands did the destroyed object end up with?"

"I picked it up and put it in my arms"

His eyes widened in surprise, and Xiang Youbao stared at Debelle and asked urgently, "Then this thing is in your hands now?" ”

Shaking his head a little inexplicably, Debelle pointed back to the place where the yellow lantern was lit in the depths of a dark alley: "When I asked someone to come out of the sand bed shop today, everything on my body was called clean!" The small net bottle that was twisted into a hemp flower was also snatched by the folding basket head resting in the sand bed shop."

Turning his head to look at the place where the yellow lantern was lit in the depths of the dark alley, Xiang Youbao grabbed Debele's arm, raised his leg and walked towards the sand bed shop: "Debele, I can't understand this matter for a while, you can bear with me, quickly lead me to find the object, I have an urgent need!" ”

was dragged by Xiang Youbao's arm and trotted all the way, but Debelle said to Xiang Youbao with a little weakness: "Xiangye, the people resting in the sand bed shop are all people in the folding basket line, and there are almost ten strong men!" Are we afraid that we will suffer? Why don't you call them again? ”

The feet did not stop, and without looking back, he whispered to Debele, who was walking more and more backwards: "The left is just to find a worthless object, and not to rob and sell with others, how can you suffer?" Besides, it's a big deal if we give a few more money, can't we buy it? ”

As he spoke, the fast-paced Xiangyou Leopard had already dragged Debel to the door of the sand bed shop with a yellow lantern.

As the old saying goes, the phoenix perches on the sycamore, the unicorn drinks nectar, and the rich and noble people in the city in Sijiu pay attention to pomp and circumstance.

Just talk about a sleeping place, the quilt must be made of lake cotton, the bed sheet must be embroidered by Shu, and the new quilt must be a Huai cotton sleeve that has been played seven times and a quilt wrapped in soft palace satin, or this person will not be solid when he sleeps!

But there is an old saying, people only have blessings that cannot be enjoyed, and there are no sins that cannot be suffered!

The Liba people in Sijiu City who work hard have always slept on the top wall of the chicken feather shop, and the wheat straw under the reed mat is exquisite. The quilt had long been indistinguishable from the color, and it was so black that he didn't dare to use his nose to gasp - the smell was enough to smoke a donkey!

But even if it is such a small chicken feather shop where a dozen or so eldest sons can live for a night, the gentlemen in Sijiu City who want to live but can't afford to live look at it with their eyes, and feel in their hearts that it is the emperor's bedroom - at all, there can still be a quilt cover, and if you can stay in the nest for a night in winter, it will almost be a wisp of yang energy in your heart.

In order to have a place where people can survive on the day of the tenth winter wax moon, the sand bed shop also popped up.

There was no shop or cover, and the shopkeeper of the sand bed shop brought back some dry sand from the river, and almost regenerated a half-red coal fire in the house, so that the house was somewhat hot.

The Liba of Dashilar, the bitter haha who sells folding baskets, and the gentlemen who have no silver in their waists and no food in their stomachs, rush into the sand bed shop as soon as it gets dark, and grab a piece of land in the position closest to the stove. I took off my whole body and slipped into the barely hot sand, and I could deal with it all night!

When it was dawn, a group of naked men came out of the sand, each put on tattered clothes that could barely block the wind, and ran to their own places to find a way to survive, begging for a bite to eat, and a few more sons who could let them sleep in the sand bed shop tonight. Naturally, there are also gentlemen who are still drilling sand together in the sand bed shop that day, and they haven't come for a few nights, that is, they will never come again

Looking at Debele, who was dragged by the arm of the leopard into the store, the shopkeeper of the sand bed shop opened a pair of sleepy eyes, and lazily stretched out a slap to Debele: "You have to come back quickly?" Five Sons"

Very weakly stretched out his finger and pointed at the leopard, Debele's voice was obviously a little trembling: "It's this master, let's go in to find someone"

Firmly stretched out the slap in front of Debele, and the shopkeeper of the sand bed shop did not speak, but yawned and shook his head again and again, putting on a posture of not giving money and not negotiating!

From his coat pocket, he took out ten eldest sons and placed them in the palm of the shopkeeper of the sand bed shop, and the leopard dragged Debelle to open the black, black thick cotton curtain, and plunged into the sand-covered inner room.

There was no light in the house, except for a stove wrapped in yellow mud stirred with wheat straw on the sand in the middle of the room, and some fire flickered faintly. Around the half-red fire, the twenty-odd men who slept in the sand only showed their heads, and at first glance, they could almost scare the timid - how did this look like the heads of people thrown all over the ground after being beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market

By the faint light of the fire, Debele, who was cowering behind Xiangyoubao, quietly pointed to a human head sleeping next to the stove: "It's him and I have all the ideas and belongings, all of them are called to him."

As if hearing Debele's deliberately lowered voice, the man with a piece of clothing rolled up as a pillow under his head suddenly opened his eyes: "Yo? This is also looking for someone to set up seedlings, isn't it? I said, brothers, all get up and wait! ”

With the shouts of the man, the heads of several people who had slept closer to the stove suddenly moved, swayed and struggled out of the sand, and stood naked in front of Xiangyou Leopard and Debele.

The others, who were far away from the stove, saw that something was wrong, and they all scrambled out of the sand and crept down against the wall in the corner of the house.

Slowly and methodically out of the sand, the man who opened his mouth and shouted did not look tall, but he also had strong tendons and flesh all over his body. Especially the knotted pimple meat on a pair of arms, almost the size of a small teapot, as the man slid up and down between his gestures, it was obvious that he had worked his arms!

I don't know who took out half of the wax from his coat roll and lit it on the fire, and held it in his hand, so that the room could be brightened with more light.

With that little light, the man who had just spoken sneered at Xiang Youbao who was standing at the door and said, "Look at your appearance, you don't look like a master who eats broken baskets?" What's the matter, it's not easy to mix up the livelihood on the side, so you make up your mind on the folding basket? And you want to help the waste snack hiding behind you to get out of the way?! ”

Out of the corner of his eye, he watched a few naked ** men slowly surround him, but Xiang Youbao was blocked at the door without moving: "There are rules for the doorway, and I didn't come to choke today!" Let me ask you, the little thing that Debel has found on his body is in your hands, please return it to Debele? ”

With a sneer, the man who spoke bent down and picked up the roll of his clothes and touched it randomly: "You still say that you are not here to stand out for others?" Brothers, say hello! ”

Without waiting for the men who gradually gathered around to make a move, Xiang Youbao took out a piece of ocean from his pocket like lightning and threw it at the feet of the man who spoke: "Don't be busy first, take a look at this first?" ”

Although the lights were dim, the man who was groping in the roll of clothes immediately widened his eyes: "Ocean?!" ”

With a sweep of his eyes, Xiang Youbao had already seen half of the small net bottle exposed from the roll of clothes that the man was holding. Taking advantage of the man's efforts to bend down and pick up the ocean and put it in front of him to see the truth and distinguish the color, Xiang Youbao spoke again: "That little thing on Debele's body, throw it in the pawn line, and then give the ticket to the small drum player, and it is not enough to return to the bag pile for half an ocean!" I want to ask you to give you a face, this ocean is yours, and you will return it to Debeylor for that little thing? ”

Looking at the dress on Xiang Youbao's body again, the naked man reached out and touched the clothes roll a few times, and while stuffing the ocean that had just arrived into his clothes, he touched the twisted and deformed small net bottle: "It's for this thing, right?" ”

Nodding slightly, Xiang Youbao said without hesitation: "That's it!" ”

Cunningly bared his teeth at Xiang Youbao, the man holding the small net bottle in his hand turned his hand and stuffed the small net bottle back into the clothes roll: "This thing is a precious thing, only a piece of the ocean, so how can it?" ”

With his hands clasped to his chest, Xiang Youbao stared at the man and whispered, "Then how much do you want?" ”

Rolling his eyelids, the man holding the roll of clothes in his arms hesitated for a moment before stretching out a slap towards Xiang Youbao: "Fifty pieces of ocean!" You can't do it without a big son! ”

As if feeling that there were many people, several men who had already surrounded each other suddenly shouted: "Ma Yu'er take the money!" ”

"Sensei's idea, this is the master's territory!"

"Why do you say that?"

While shouting, several men closest to Xiangyou Leopard had already stretched out their slaps towards Xiang Youbao and had the idea of robbing!

Turning his hand and pushing Debel, who was cowering behind him, back, Xiang Youbao pulled the steel thorn from his right sleeve like lightning and slapped it the nearest slap.

With a muffled sound that was barely audible, the man with the longest hand suddenly screamed, clutching his palm, which had been torn apart, and slumped on the sand.

Without waiting for others to make any more moves, the steel thorn in Xiang Youbao's hand had already waved a black shadow, and attacked straight towards the man standing by the stove!

Seeing Xiang Youbao make a move, the man who was standing naked next to the stove did not parry, but stretched out his slap holding the small net bottle towards the stove, and shouted at Xiang Youbao: "You try another one for the master?!" ”

Suddenly retracted the steel thorns that were about to reach the man's throat, and the leopard stared at the man's eyes: "Don't you want to shoot two gangs in one shot?!" A life is exchanged for such a small net bottle that can't be exchanged for money, do you think it's worth it?! ”

With a cruel laugh, the man who was restrained by Xiang Youbao was stunned with a pair of triangular eyes, and shouted at Xiang Youbao: "The master is so mixed up that he sells folding baskets to live, and he has long been a dead man in front of himself!" Acquaintances, obediently take fifty oceans, or ......."

Without waiting for the man to finish speaking, Xiang Youbao, who had already paused his figure, waved his hand violently, and the steel thorn in his hand gently poked and swept towards the man's wrist bone joint, and in the man's scream of horror, the small net bottle was swept to the sand next to it like lightning.

Like a blessing to the soul, Debele, who had always cowered aside, threw himself on the sand like a wild dog that had seen a bone, grabbed the vial with his hands and feet, and clutched it in his hand regardless of it.

turned around and swept his eyes at the men who were still about to move, but Xiang Youbao retracted the steel thorn in his hand into his sleeve, and then turned his head and whispered to the man who covered his wrist: "If you don't eat toast, you have to find a penalty to drink!" Tell me understand, from now on, there will be no one like you in the folding basket line! From now on, the folding basket of Yanlai Building is Debeyler's! If there is one who is not convinced, go to Zhushikou Street, Huozhengmen Hall, and talk to me with a leopard! ”

Swinging his body, Debelle easily stood up from the sand, and respectfully handed the small net bottle that had just been snatched in his hand to the eyes of Xiang Youbao, and then he turned back to the restless men and shouted: "Did you hear what Xiangye said?" There is another one who dares to play tricks with you Debelle, this is an example! ”

Looking at the man who was holding his wrist and trembling in pain, and then looking at the companion whose palmar bones were cracked apart, several men who lived by the folding basket had to bow their heads silently to Debele......
