"How long ago was that?" After a pause, Ah Fa continued to ask. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"A year ago, it was a long way from Tianjin, and they couldn't arrest me in the foreign concession, they had patrols to take care of." She sighed deeply as if she was tired.

"Do you have any siblings?" Ah Fa asked.

Yao Fangbao shrugged his shoulders and said expressionlessly: "Three half-brothers, two half-sisters." I send more money to my family than my brother because I earn more. ”

"You still send money? But they sold you! Ah Fa's eyes widened and he was surprised.

Yao Fangbao glanced at Ah Fa a little strangely, and then said slowly and patiently, as if explaining a very simple thing to a child, "If I don't do this, I will still starve, and they will suffer." Now, I can send them money. ”

Ah Fa exhaled softly, in the afterlife, he was an orphan, but if his parents abandoned him, he would hate him.

Well, this is the tradition of today's society, poor parents sell their children in order to support the children left behind. Sometimes, this can help the child who has been sold to make a good living. Sometimes, of course, their lives can get harder, depending on who buys them. Still, it's at least better than starving alive or being strangled to death at birth.

"I think you have a fake foreign devil friend now." Ah Fa's brain was good, and he said to Yao Fangbao with a smile: "Today's matter should make them understand, or think that you are my friend." That should do some tricks. They just take money, as you say, right? So, it doesn't matter if I want you or not. If you don't have money for them, or if you're in trouble, you can come to me. ”

Yao Fangbao blinked his eyes, and nodded lightly for a while. She stood up suddenly, took out a small purse made of silk from her body, groped in it with her dexterous fingers, and said in a low and frustrated voice: "I have to give you back the money for that day, but it is not enough now-"

"No, I don't want the money." Ah Fa stood up and squeezed her hand, closed the small purse, her hand was so petite, and her fingers were so slender, he kissed her forehead gently.

Yao Fangbao smiled slightly, clinging to Ah Fa, the devil's thoughts occupied Ah Fa's head again, he kissed the purple blood spots on Fang Bao's face, as well as the lips with wounds, and reached out and gently pinched Fang Bao's chest, it was not very big, but it felt very good......

Bang, bang, bang, the sudden sound separated the two men. Ah Fa rolled his eyes, walked to the door, lifted the bamboo curtain and looked out, it was Ah Guo who was working under the eaves with a broom, knocking on the wall with the broom handle from time to time, and immediately turned his back to him when he came out.

What do you mean? The maid also managed the master to make love to others, Ah Fa put down the bamboo curtain a little angrily, and shouted: "It's time to cook, cook a few more dishes, I want to entertain guests." After shouting, he returned to the chair and sat down, and smiled bitterly at Yao Fangbao, all the thoughts just now were gone.

Yao Fangbao gently rubbed the purple blood spots on his lips and face, although Ah Fa's action just now was very careful, it still hurt. She smiled reluctantly, looking at the furnishings.

It was almost dark, Ah Fa lit the gas lamp, and Yao Fangbao was immediately attracted. The lamp sizzled softly under the shade, and she stared curiously and asked, "This is the new style of the lamp in the West?" ”

Ah Fa thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be the latest type, the electric light is the best, but it should be on the Bund or other high-end places." As he spoke, he reached for the dangling chain, "If you pull this end, the light will be smaller." ”

Yao Fangbao deftly hooked his index finger into the ring, and carefully pulled it, the light dimmed, and the room darkened.

"How about making it a little brighter?" The faint blue light flickered in her squinting bright eyes.

"Pull the other end."

Yao Fangbao couldn't help but smile happily as he watched the lights sizzle and slowly grow up, and finally became as bright as just now. She began to alternate between the two ends, sometimes dim and sometimes bright as the light shone brightly. But in the end, he became naughty, and kept pulling the chain until there was a "plop" and the gas lamp went out.

"Is it broken?" She was in a hurry.

"It's not bad, but it must be lit with a match as you did just now." Ah Fa watched her play endlessly like a child getting a new toy, feeling funny and a little heartbroken, he picked up the match, lit the gas lamp again, and then said tentatively: "Can you not be a singer in the future?" Do something else, and I can give you some money. ”

Yao Fangbao lowered her eyelids, and said realistically for a long time: "If I don't become a singer, I will lose all my old customers." You can't take care of me all the time, and how can I live without a patron? ”

Ah Fa felt very uncomfortable, frowned and asked, "The old patron you are talking about, I mean you just sing to them, is that so?" ”

Yao Fangbao looked up at Ah Fa and said, "If I'm with you, I'll do it." But you don't want me, do you? And-"

"Yes, I can give you some money every month." Ah Fa felt that he would do what he said, so he made a very decisive promise.

………………

After the Opium War, as China's cottage industry declined under the impact of the export of goods by the great powers, China's agriculture became increasingly dilapidated due to war, famine, and harsh taxes, and the number of unemployed, bankrupts, and vagrants increased in large numbers, and these vulnerable people, from rural day laborers, coolies, vagrants, beggars, and finally bandits, provided a huge reserve army for the secret society. Unemployed homeless people and the outcasts of society have to seek solidarity to protect themselves, and gang entry is one of them.

Art comes from life, and it must not be separated from the fertile soil of the people. And the topics that the people talk about after tea and dinner are not only about Zhang's family and Li Jiaxiao, but also about those legendary black and X social figures. Going back to the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was a petty official named Shi Nai'an, because of his admiration for the black x society, with a stroke of the pen, he wrote down more than 100 black x social images, large and small, which can be said to be full of black x social characters; Recently, there are stories of outstanding figures in the black X society such as the fifth king of the big sword.

It can be seen that the concept of black X society is not specifically used to describe some extremely vicious people. Three hundred years ago, people called them righteous men. We have no way of knowing what kind of feelings people had about the black X society at that time, but some truths are eternal, and the problems that the mainstream society can't solve always have to be solved by some other forces, so people are also afraid of the black X society with certain habits.
