The little teapot is really unfavorable, since he was injured by an unwarranted disaster, the painful ordeal and embarrassing situation made him understand a lot of philosophies of life, and the bad problems of his two lives were greatly reduced, but he still didn't expect that under the forgetfulness, a joke was beaten by Sister Yi, who hurt face, in front of everyone, and then kicked him out of the dwelling.

In the dark night, the little teapot and the three brothers who were driven out stood at the entrance of the alley and shivered, and the fourth Luo Defa had to return home alone because of the strict management of his parents. Ma Zhu led the little teapot and Wu San to the west, and soon bypassed a bamboo forest, touched the outside of the wall of the Xilai Temple, and drilled into an abandoned small land temple, which was considered to be a temporary settlement.

The hemp pole ignited two sun-dried tung oil seeds, and Wu Wei saw the environment clearly, in this ruined temple with a radius of three feet, there were more than a dozen little beggars lying horizontally and vertically, all in rags, curled up in the thick straw and sleeping, ignoring any movement.

The "Xilai Temple" close to the city wall in the west gate is a lama temple, has a history of more than 400 years, covers a wide area, the building is towering, the giant trees become forests, the pines and cypresses are exhausted, regardless of the scale of the building, the number of halls and the degree of luxury, among the hundreds of temples inside and outside the city of Chengdu, can be among the best, but if the degree of incense is exuberant alone, it can only be regarded as the lower middle, the reason is that this temple has almost become a special temple for the banner people in the city, and ordinary people can not come.

The humid winter night was too cold, the three brothers had to snuggle up in the corner and lie down, Ma Pole was worried that the little teapot was sad, and soon after lying down, he whispered: "Little brother, don't blame Sister Yi, I saw her crying when she beat you, I guess she was really sad, and there are so many people who can't let go of their faces, and they drove you out in a fit of anger, and after two days Sister Yi is a little angry, I will accompany you back to admit your mistake to Sister Yi, you were raised by her, but you can't be angry with her because of a few beatings." ”

The little teapot sighed faintly: "Alas...... I don't know that she is good to me, if I still have relatives in this world, there are only her and the three of you, I have always felt that she is my own sister, I am too bastard, always cause trouble for her, think about it, I am seventeen years old and still live such a wretched, I feel really uncomfortable! ”

"Little brother, don't think about it, it's a big deal that I'll beg my dad tomorrow to let you join our elder brother's church in the South Hall, and then go to honor Sister Yi when you make money." Wu Sanurn interjected angrily.

The hemp rod slapped Wu San's head: "Is there such a help from you?" You Brotherhood people are still having a hard time? Besides, can your dad say yes? Even you can't get in, how can you introduce the little brother in? Even if you can really get in, it's not all the life of being a llipop and selling coolies, when will you get rich? You, you, pig braincase, sleep! ”

Wu San has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is also a master who fights and does not want to die, but for some reason, among the four brothers, he is most afraid of the second brother's hemp stick, so he never dares to fight back, and it seems that he has formed a habit.

Ma Pole turned to the small teapot: "Little brother, don't think too much, I'll live here with you for the past two days, no one cares about this place, I can't get out of the city late and spend the night here, it's a second home." ”

The little teapot nodded: "The people who sleep here are all your gangs?" ”

"Well, the oldest of these dozen people is ten years old, the youngest is estimated to be five or six years old, young people can't do heavy work, and there are Qu Boss's women rushing to do it, Qu Boss said that he doesn't take in people who eat white rice, so he drove out all these small people, whether they are dead or alive, no way, I had to bring them here to settle down, teach them how to beg for food, and can't get close to the territory of the west of the city, and the south and east of the city where there are many good people can't go, there are more than a dozen groups of people who occupied the territory a few years ago, and we outsiders can't be tolerated, I can only go to the north of the city, but there are more people and less food, and it is getting harder and harder to beg, and four have starved to death in half a year, and I have no choice but to come every two or three days to take a look, and I can help as much as I can, and finally there are no more deaths. The sound of the hemp stalk is getting lower and lower.

The little teapot heard the sadness and helplessness from the words of the hemp stick, and then guessed why the little teapot went to steal and dig the grave: "You have been taking care of them for the past six months? ”

"I can't take care of it! Maybe I won't be able to save it one day. In the dark, Ma Zhu took out the jade pendant in his arms, touched it and stopped talking.

The little teapot only felt heavy and cold in his heart, sighing and lying on his back, racking his brains and not knowing how to solve this problem.

Just when Wu San on the left was snoring, the little teapot finally thought of a safe way, turned his head, and approached the ear of the hemp stick: "Sleeping?" ”

"Nope." Ma Pole slowly wrapped the jade pendant and put it into his arms.

The little teapot suggested in a low voice: "Do you think this is good?" Tomorrow afternoon I ask the shopkeeper for a leave, you come with me to Longxing Street, Gufo Lane to try your luck, during this time I went to that place several times, saw the British consulate and a few foreigners' clock shop or something, since there is no way, it is better to take a trip to the foreign line, if you are lucky, you can sell the jade pendant in your arms. ”

Ma Pole sat up suddenly: "Little brother, that's the territory of foreigners!" Who has eaten a leopard and dared to provoke foreigners these days? If you don't get it, you'll go to jail! ”

The little teapot pulled the hemp rod and lay down: "Be quiet, what are you anxious about?" Didn't I consult with you? Besides, foreigners are not devils, don't you see that there are many Chinese who help them sell goods? Didn't the spring water they drink, the vegetables they ate and the meat they ate every day also come from local merchants on the streets? Haven't their business houses been making us Chinese's money? Why can't we do business with foreigners? You are not afraid to steal and rob desperately, what are you afraid of when you do business? ”

Ma Pole was stunned, thinking about it, it seemed to make some sense, but he was still very worried: "But the origin of this jade pendant is not right!" In case ......"

"In case of a fart! Who told me to go to a pawn shop? Oh, if you go to a pawn shop, you won't be afraid of danger, you're not afraid of being bullied by those pawn shops that eat people and don't spit out bones, and you're not afraid of suspecting that your jade pendant is from the wrong place? Why are you afraid of foreigners, and your eggs are retracted into your stomach? The little teapot scolded angrily.

Ma Zhu was anxious: "What am I afraid of if I have a rotten life?" When did we fight outside, and I wasn't at the forefront? When was it not you and the fourth child who grabbed me and didn't let me be ruthless? I just don't say it, huh! ”

The little teapot smiled: "Isn't this the end?" That's it, tomorrow after lunch, you come to me, I will first pay some wages to the shopkeeper, and then we will go to the shop selling jewelry on Gouache Street together, and then go directly to Longxing Street to the foreign store. ”

"Wait! It's okay, what are we going to gouache street for? Ma Pole asked puzzled.

The little teapot replied angrily: "I said that you are usually a very shrewd person, why are you so stupid at this time?" Go buy a semi-new and old jewelry box, and it should be pretty, and then put the jade pendant in your arms in it, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, if you want to sell it at a good price, you have to do it, this is called packaging, do you understand...... You don't understand, sleep! ”

Ma Pole couldn't sleep, his eyes widened, looking at the roof of the black hole, his mind was full of what the little teapot had just said, he pondered and pondered, the more he thought about it, the more it made sense, he turned around to exchange experiences with the little teapot, and found that the little teapot had fallen asleep with Wu San.

It was dawning, and the little teapot was awakened by a cry, and when she sat up, she found that Ma Pole was holding a skinny little girl of five or six years old, and comforted her vigorously.

The little teapot hurriedly crawled over: "Sick? ”

Ma Pole nodded: "Swing, I'm also hungry." ”

The little teapot looked around, and said anxiously: "This can't be done!" The few people on the wall seem to be unable to move, in this cold day, no matter how empty they are, they can only wait for death...... In this way, the third child and I went back first, went to the Fan Ji Noodle Restaurant on Front Street, begged the shopkeeper Fan Hulu, begged him to give him a drawer of buns and a pot of rice porridge on credit, and asked the third child to send it over quickly, I won't follow me, I have to rush to work! ”

"Little Brother ......"

The emaciated face of the hemp pole was distorted, and the slender eyes were wet.

"I need to get there...... The third child, get up, get up quickly, the third child, come with me! ”

"Huh? Oh......"

Fan Ji Noodle Restaurant on Front Street, the little teapot has been begging for a long time, the chubby shopkeeper Fan Hulu just didn't agree, the little teapot was so anxious that he couldn't do it, "knock" sounded, kneeling in the waterhole in front of the door, and then the head door hit the stone slab and kowtowed, and the kowtow sound of "dong dong" provoked all the customers in the store to look over.

Fan Hulu, the shopkeeper who loves face and is afraid of damaging his reputation, has no choice but to scold and agree to come down, and ask the little teapot to be a guarantor in his sister's name, before he tells Xiao Er to give the little teapot a drawer of buns and a wooden pot of white porridge.

After the small teapot thanked him, Fei also got up, took the food, carefully stuffed it into the hands of Wu San, who was in a hurry, and watched Wu San go away, only then did he thank the shopkeeper Fan again, turned around and hurriedly ran to the teahouse.

There were no guests in the teahouse yet, and when the little teapot walked in quickly, he found that the shopkeeper Deng was lying on the counter weakly, with his hands on his cheeks, and his face was sad, and he didn't even look at the little teapot that greeted him.

The little teapot went to the back and finished working with the guys, tidied up the clothes, hung the clean hand towel on his arm, and cautiously came to the counter, thinking about how to advance the salary to the shopkeeper, who knew that before he could speak, the voice of the shopkeeper Deng had already sounded: "Turtle son, where did you spend the night last night?" ”

"Huh? You...... Got it? The little teapot was momentarily stunned, and then lowered its head.

"I didn't open the door, so your sister came to the door and cried, turtle son, your sister is a helpless girl's house, is it easy to pull you away? You can't be a man without a conscience! Shopkeeper Deng squinted at the small teapot, his eyes were very displeased.

The little teapot was very sad in her heart: "You always scolded right, scolded right!" I'm not going to make my sister angry again...... That's the case, I heard that Uncle Wu is not in good health, and the day before yesterday he had returned to his hometown in Pixian County, I thought, you must be worried about finding a husband, right?

"Let me tell you the truth, if you can trust your little nephew, how about letting your little nephew take over Uncle Wu's class? You can rest assured that the little nephew has changed his past mistakes and become a new man, and the little nephew only asks for a nest to shelter from the wind and rain, not for the vigil money of 600 yuan per month, just ask for your little nephew to live in the small house at the back. ”

"Huh? How did you, the son of a turtle who steals tricks, become articulate and flamboyant today? I can still say a few words of literary crepe, and I have grown up! The look of surprise on the shopkeeper Deng's face flashed for a moment, and he lowered his face and asked sternly: "You heartless rebel, you make your sister angry and forget it?" Has your sister loved you for so many years? ”

The little teapot hurriedly explained: "No, no! You always listen to the little nephew explain, in fact, my sister also wants me to be self-reliant as soon as possible, she said that I am older, and I can no longer stay in Baicui Building like before, but you also know the situation of the little nephew, even if the little nephew wants to fight for himself and my sister, there is no place to fight! Now it's okay, Uncle Wu is gone, the little nephew can only beg you to give me a chance, if you always look down on the little nephew, and you still think that the little nephew is still an ignorant turtle grandson, just treat the little nephew as if he didn't say anything, and the little nephew just accepts his fate. ”

The little teapot bowed, turned around and walked to the back hall, and began to get busy.

Shopkeeper Deng let the little teapot talk stunned, how could he never have imagined that the little turtle grandson, who has always been naughty and scoundrel, can say such reasonable and honest words today, pondering for a long time, Shopkeeper Deng finally came to the conclusion: The little teapot after the catastrophe finally slowly understood the reason, and people began to grow.
