Chapter 4 Childhood Diao Chan
The little beggar, who was as thin as a wheat stalk, had been hiding behind the people, but at this time he passed through the crowd and timidly came to Zhang Wang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
She looked up at her dirty little face and asked, "Brother Zhang Wang, can you not leave Huayin County?" If you're afraid of running out of food, I can divide half of what I want every day. ”
Zhang Forget glanced down at the little beggar, and the whole person seemed to be petrified, and suddenly froze.
He stared at this little girl who was as thin as a ghost and showed her teeth when she spoke, and his memory suddenly returned to the day when he traveled to the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
On that day, after finishing the college entrance examination, he went to confess to his beloved girl with a thin-tire porcelain painted pen holder made by himself. Who knew that after passing through an alley, he actually walked to Huayin County, Hongnong County, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Before he could realize what was happening, a blow was struck on the head.
When he woke up, he found that all his clothes had been robbed. At a loss, he covered the key points and entered a house, took a piece of clothes to dry, and wrapped it around his body to cover his shame.
The family found out that he had stolen clothes, and without saying a word, let the dogs chase him, and bit him all over his body and was dying.
He forced his injured body to wander the streets of Huayin, homeless, hungry and thirsty, coupled with the inflammation of the wound, and finally fell headlong under the big elm tree in front of the Yang family in Huayin.
A little beggar passing by kindly woke him up, fed him half a black millet cake, and then smashed the door of Yang's house with all his might, and then wiped his tears and hid behind the big elm tree.
Yang's porter spotted him and called for him to be carried into the courtyard.
He looked at the big elm tree in a drowsy eye, and saw the little beggar peeking out from behind the tree, with tears in his eyes, but he opened his little mouth and smiled at him.
The concierge reported the matter of saving people to Yang Li, the uncle of Huayin prodigy Yang Xiu.
When Yang Li came to see him in person, he had an idea, and he recited several "Historical Records" written by Sima Qian of the Western Han Dynasty, which was good.
Yang Li decided that he was a child of the fallen scholar clan, asked Lang Zhong to take care of his injuries, and allowed him to temporarily live in the Yang family's mansion.
The scholar who was unforgettable back then, didn't have time to go to college for a day, and became a martyr in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
After his body recovered, he searched all over the world for the little beggar who fed him half of the black cake.
Without her, I was afraid that I would have died outside the door of Yang's house a long time ago.
He did not hesitate to provoke the scholars of the entire Huayin County, and released his wild words of "heaven and earth, omniscient".
He did not hesitate to release all kinds of money-making means as bait, attracting countless people to come to the elm tree to watch.
All kinds of absurd behaviors he did were to find this kind little beggar who saved his life.
God is pitiful, and today I finally met it.
In the past and present life, Zhang Forget thought of the tragic situation at the beginning of his crossing, the home he could never go back to, and the parents he could never see again, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Brother, why are you crying?"
The little beggar stretched out her dirty little hand to wipe Zhang Wang's tears, and the contrast between her dark hands and Zhang Wang's white cheeks was incomparably stark.
Realizing that something was wrong, the little beggar quickly withdrew his hand, lowered his head with a red face, and wiped it vigorously on his clothes.
Zhang Forget took the beggar's little hand and touched it on his face: "I've been looking for you, do you know?" ”
The crowd of onlookers watched this scene and froze, completely unable to understand what was happening.
"I know, I deliberately hid and didn't let you see it." The little beggar grinned and said with a smile: "It's good that you survived!" ”
Zhang Forget held the skinny little face of the little beggar, and smiled with tears: "If you hadn't rescued me, I would have died a long time ago." I pretended to be an arrogant person, and almost deceived the people of Huayin County to the big elm tree, just to find you. ”
Jia Xu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhang Forget in surprise.
It turns out that all arrogance is an illusion. This young man did all kinds of amazing things just to find this little beggar who saved his life.
However, what did this little beggar do to save Zhang Wang's life?
The little beggar looked at Zhang Forget and didn't say a word.
She was ashamed of herself because she was dirty and ashamed, so she deliberately avoided Zhang Wang, how could she say this kind of thing directly?
Zhang Forget held the little beggar's hand and asked, "It's been so many days, why did you show up?" Where have you been? ”
"I'm ......," the little beggar waved his stick and said, "I'm busy, I have to go and ask for food!" ”
Zhang Wangyan felt a pain in his heart when he heard this, and hugged the little beggar in his arms.
The little beggar obediently stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, but his tender white face suddenly turned black and unswerving.
The little beggar stuck out his tongue, and his face couldn't help showing a look of shame.
Zhang Forget didn't care at all, he stood up, held the little beggar's hand, and walked to the center of the crowd step by step.
Looking around, he suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart.
The ridiculous things that have been done these days can finally come to an end.
What you know everything, what mocks no one in the Central Plains, what teaches people to make money every day, fuck it!
Lao Tzu has found his savior, there are more important things to do, and he will not waste time on these ridiculous things.
He held the little beggar's hand and told the little beggar about his original life-saving feelings, and told the onlookers to listen.
When the people heard that there was such a thing, they were immediately embarrassed.
Knowing that Zhang Wangxin was not an arrogant person, everything he did was to attract the little beggar to come, and the people who were dissatisfied with him changed their perception of him.
Zhang Forget finished telling the ins and outs of the matter, and said loudly: "The boy fell into Huayin, and thanks to the care of many fathers and elders in Huayin County, he was lucky not to die." The little beggar will revive the dying me, the Huayin Yang family provides me with shelter from the wind and rain, and the villagers have given me food, clothing, and water. Although I am young, I also know that if you have a kindness, you will repay it. As a token of my gratitude, tomorrow I will teach you how to make vinegar free of charge. ”
The surrounding crowd was moved by his true feelings at first, and when they heard his last words, they immediately became excited.
"Xiao Langjun, are you serious?"
"Xiao Langjun, do you want to teach everyone how to make vinegar for free?"
"This method of making vinegar, do you give it to everyone?"
Zhang Wang waved his hand violently: "As long as you want to learn, I will give it, there is no lie." Please go around and tell me, as long as you speak Chinese and your heart is to my Han people, everyone can get a way to make vinegar. I would like to thank you all and all those who have helped me selflessly. ”
The people understood Zhang Wang's promise, and suddenly boiled, they bowed deeply to Zhang Wang, and scattered with cheers.
They hurried home to tell their parents, uncles, siblings, relatives, friends, and neighbors the good news.
They want to tell everyone that the all-knowing Xiao Zhang Lang, the little Zhang Lang who has made the Huayin people deflated for several days, the little Zhang Lang who is both hated and loved, wants to repay Huayin and teach the people the method of making money every day for free!
Seeing that the people had run away, Zhang Forget squatted down, carefully wiped the little beggar's dirty face with his sleeves, and said seriously: "Don't ask for food in the future, stay with me, let me take care of you, okay?" ”
The little beggar stared at Zhang Forget for a while, feeling that this brother didn't look like a bad person, so he hesitated and asked, "Why do you want to take care of me?" ”
Zhang Wangdao: "You saved my life, I want to repay you." “
The little beggar said, "I only gave you half a piece of black millet bread, what is there to repay?" ”
"It's half a piece of black bread to you, but it's half a life to me."
Zhang Forget looked into her eyes and said seriously: "If a person does a good deed, he should be repaid, let alone refuse to be repaid by others for your kindness." Only in this way can we encourage everyone to do good, don't you say? ”
From the moment Zhang Forget saw the little beggar, he was immersed in the excitement of finding a life-saving benefactor, and completely forgot about Jia Xu.
Jia Xu stood quietly behind him, seeing everything in his eyes and listening to his ears, and looking at his eyes with more and more appreciation.
The little beggar frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "You're right, good people are not rewarded, and there will be fewer and fewer good people." In that case, I'll give you a chance to repay me. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Forget didn't say anything, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh first.
Zhang Forget took her little dirty hand away from her mouth and said, "My name is Zhang Wang, I come from an unspeakable place, what is your name?" ”
The unspeakable? When Jia Xu heard this, his eyes couldn't help but stare at him, could it be that the Bashan Shu County that he said before was all fake?
The little beggar stared at Zhang Wang's eyes and said softly: "I am the daughter of Ren Ang of Xinzhou Muer Village, the small character Hongchang." ”
Ren Ang's daughter, small character Hongchang, Ren Hongchang?
Zhang Wang's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe his ears.
He pinched the little beggar's skinny little face, pinched her little arm as thin as wheat straw, and muttered: "Diao Chan looked like this when she was a child? ”
The little beggar tilted his head and said, "I'm not called Diao Gluttony, my name is Hongchang." ”
Zhang Forget stroked her messy hair and said softly: "In the future, I'll call you Diao Chan, okay?" ”
The little beggar wondered, "Why did you change my name, I'm not tricky, and I'm not greedy." ”
Zhang Wangfu pinched her little nose and said, "It's not a gluttonous one, but a mink-tailed mink and a golden cicada." The mink tail and the golden cicada represent noble things. You are my savior, and in my heart, you are as precious as a mink tail and a golden cicada, so I want to change your name to Diao Chan. ”
The little beggar repeated the word "Diao Chan" several times, raised his head happily and said: "Diao Chan's name is very good, I like it so much, you can call me Diao Chan in the future." ”
Zhang Forget recalled the legend about Diao Chan and asked her, "You are from Xinzhou, why did you come to Hongnong County to beg?" What about your parents? ”
Diao Chan, who was still happy just now, listened to Zhang Wang's question at this time, and his big eyes were suddenly full of crystal tears.
"My father and mother took me to Luoyang to join my relatives, and they lost me halfway. I was abducted by human traffickers and taken to Chang'an, and it took a lot of effort to escape. I asked for food all the way, from Chang'an to Luoyang, passing through Hongnong, and then I met you. ”
Zhang Forget didn't expect Diao Chan to have such an unbearable past, and he couldn't help but feel more sorry for her.
He wiped away the tears from Diao Chan's face and promised her seriously: "Don't be sad, I will take you to Luoyang and help you find your parents." ”
Diao Chan sobbed and said, "Aren't you going to Liangzhou?" ”
Zhang Wangdao: "If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?" If I can't even repay the love of my life-saving benefactor, what else can I talk about competing in the world? ”
