Chapter 2: Hanako

In a straw shed tea shop on the side of the official road, a fat man sat at the table with his feet crossed, he wore a red satin straight body embroidered with a lion pattern, red silk hair on his head, a jade and green silk leather belt on his waist, a sachet hung on the leather belt, a pair of toe shoes on his feet, a silk scarf in his hand was rubbing the sweat of his fat face, and a few drops of sweat were hung on the half-length beard of his chin, looking at him like this, it really makes others feel hot.

There were also three or five local farmers sitting in the tea shop, and when they saw the fat man dressed luxuriously, they all showed a look of awe, and they only dared to squint at the corner of their eyes to watch secretly. Outside the grass hut squatted more than a dozen unclothed male and female beggars, all unkempt and skinny, their faces so black that only white eyes remained, and they were looking at the fat man's groom with a handful of soybeans to feed the horses.

Under a big tree outside, Chen Xin and Liu Minyou sat on the root of the tree, Chen Xin looked at the fat man with interest, the two walked a few miles, and when they saw that there was a tree here, they stopped to rest and saw this new human being.

The fat man still didn't realize it, and when he sat down, he shouted: "Shopkeeper, serve tea, serve a few more bowls, and bring me a bowl for that horse." ”

The shopkeeper hesitated: "It's okay to have a bowl, it's just ...... If Ma uses this bowl, how will people eat it in the future? ”

The fat man slapped the table, "I bought the bowl together, and Hugh has to be verbose, but when the young master has no money, the young master's clothes are worth a few tea shops for you." After that, he pulled the satin shirt on his body, "See, satin, just this color, what name do you know?" Dongfang Xiao! If it weren't for the young master, I wouldn't have thought of seeing you for the rest of your life. ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Childe is rich, I can't compare with villains, there is a sentence of Childe, this will feed the horse to Childe." ”

"Wait, what's this place called, isn't it far from Jizhou?"

"This place is called Haomen, ten miles away is Jizhou, and the son will be able to arrive today by carriage."

"Well, do you have anything to eat?"

"This, only pancakes and steamed cakes, I don't know ...... child" Under the reflection of the fat man's wealth and brilliance, the store felt that his products were cold.

"Then five loaves of bread, taste first."

The shopkeeper hurriedly brought a few bowls of tea, and a plate of pancakes, the fat man picked up one, took a bite, spit on the ground, and scolded in his mouth: "I just said that I don't want to go to Zunhua, the old uncle has to let me go, this is good, Yue Yue didn't eat comfortably once, and when I returned to Beijing in the next few days, I had to eat back." Then he threw the bread on the table.

At this movement, more than a dozen beggars outside immediately came to their senses, and they didn't dare to come close to ask for it because of the fat man's momentum, so they all squatted up and looked at the cake in the fat man's hand.

The fat man asked the scholar behind him, "Xiao Qi wants to taste it?" ”

The scholar twisted his head and pouted: "The young master said that he went to Jizhou to eat jade tukou today, and asked me to eat this coarse bun to take up my stomach." ”

The fat man smiled and nodded: "No, young master, I almost forgot, I lost Xiao Qi'er's good heart." The fat hand took advantage of the situation and touched Xiao Qida's hand.

Seeing this, Liu Min whispered to Chen Xin: "Is this scholar a man or a woman?" Could it be that the new humans are still glass? ”

Chen Xin looked at the fat man and replied: "Most of them are men, do you see it, there is an Adam's apple, if it is a woman, it is also a beauty, it is only fourteen or fifteen, this dead fat man is really not a thing, raping a young man." ”

Chen Xin looked at the thief light flashing in the fat man's eyes, looked at the cake and looked at the beggar outside, pulled Liu Minyou's sleeve and said, "This kid is going to show us a good show." ”

"What's the show?" Liu Minyou asked strangely, and as soon as the words fell, the fat man gave Liu Min an answer.

"Hanako, where are you from? Where to go? The fat man asked the bunch of beggars outside with a wicked smile.

A beggar of an older grade said, "Hui Gongzi, we are all from Liaodong, we escaped into the customs a few years ago, and we had to beg for a living, and we are going to Beijing to come." ”

The fat man shook his head and sighed: "Liaodong, pitiful, the family is occupied by the Tartars, I have a good heart when I meet the young master, do you want to eat cakes?" ”

A group of beggars immediately kowtowed to the fat man in a mess, while shouting: "I want to eat, I want to eat!" ”

"Childe lives a long life!" "Waiting for Bandai!" ……

The fat man smiled: "If you want to eat, you can eat, but you can't eat it in vain, give me some fun." ”

The beggars thought they were hungry and nodded their heads.

The fat man counted the number of people and said with a smile, "Fourteen flowers, I have five cakes here, throw one at a time, whoever of you grabs it eats, each cake can only be eaten by one person, and those who have eaten it will roll aside, and you can't grab it again, and then throw one after eating, until you finish throwing." After a pause, he said again: "If you grab it and the young master is in a good mood, you can buy a few more cakes, if you don't look good, I will feed the horses and not wait for you." ”

When Liu Min heard this, a wave of anger rose, he stood up, and Chen Xinyi next to him grabbed him and persuaded: "Don't care, if the fat man feeds the cake to the horse, not a single beggar will be able to eat it, and then he will have to settle accounts with us." ”

Liu Minyou said angrily to Chen Xin: "How can you trample on the dignity of others like this, although you are a beggar, you are also a human being, not a beast raised by his family." ”

Chen Xin smiled all over his face, pulled Liu Minyou to sit down, and said: "So just now I said that human life is cheaper than grass, dissipate anger, now is the time to be a hero." Do you have the money to buy bread for these people? ”

Liu Minyou's face was flushed, and finally he didn't get up again, looking at the fat man with an angry face, at this time, this new human being was no longer a novelty in his eyes, but a hateful face.

Chen Xinwang looked at Liu Minyou twice, and said to Liu Minyou: "This demon fat man has a very bad heart, he knows that these beggars are all the way, so let them eat one by one, to prevent them from getting the cake and dividing it, every time the strongest is eliminated, others have hope, and they will fight even harder later." ”

Liu Minyou looked at the fat man fiercely and said: "It's really hateful to be unkind to the rich, no wonder so many people want to rebel." ”

Chen Xin continued: "Actually, the demon fat man is still not good, it should be a team of two, according to the strength of the body, one cake in each group, the strength is equal, so that the fight is fierce, and then buy a few cakes to fight for a champion." ”

"You...... Is the psychology darker than that fat man? ”

"Don't say it, this fat man seems to be either rich or expensive, you said that if I gave him this idea, maybe he could eat with him, and it was also an opportunity."

Liu Min pointed at Chen Xin, and said angrily: "Do you still have a view of good and evil, if you want to go, I would rather ......"

Chen Xin hurriedly interrupted him, "Just kidding, just kidding, I have been cultivated by the party and the state for many years, how can I do such a thing, look, the show has started." ”

Liu Min stared at Chen Xin a few times before turning his head to look at the field over there.

The fat man ignored the sweat, and drew a circle on the ground with his feet with great interest, a group of beggars looked at each other, still hesitating, but they had already divided into several groups, Chen Xin estimated that this group of beggars was also temporarily put together, and they split up as soon as they encountered interests.

The fourteen beggars were divided into three groups, the largest of which consisted of four men and two women, the four men seemed to be stronger than the others, and the one who took the lead had a scar on his face. The second group of four were all male beggars and were not physically strong. The last group was four teenagers, three men and one woman, all skinny, and one of them was still smiling with his mouth open stupidly, just by looking at his expression, he would not know that he was living in misery.

"If you get the cake, you can eat it when you get out of the circle," the fat man finally finished the hard work of drawing the big circle, and announced loudly.

A group of male beggars dropped their dog-beating sticks and walked in one after another, separated from each other and guarding against each other. Scarface looked at the other two groups of beggars and said fiercely, "Acquaintance! ”

The beggars all looked frightened, but the little beggar still opened his mouth and giggled. In the tea shop, the farmer and the groom all walked outside the circle to watch, with an excited face, only the owner of the tea shop, kept chanting, "Don't enter the shop." ”

"Cake Lailuo!!"

The missing corner of the pancake fell to the center of the circle with a bang, the beggars' eyes lit up, and they couldn't care about being afraid of the scarface, they rushed up, a beggar of the scarface gang pounced, pressed the pancake under him, and the other two gangs reached out to grab it, a group of heads came together, bumped around, a little beggar was still sitting on the man's back, the man on the ground didn't say out of the circle, he couldn't even get up, he was stepped on more than a dozen times in a blink of an eye, and several others pulled his hand to drag the cake out under him.

"Okay, good" The fat man looked at the smoke and dust in the field, and danced happily, and several audience members next to him also applauded again and again, only the scholar pouted, not very interested.

There was a change in the field at this time, and the scarface yelled: "Looking for death!" Rushed to the side of the pile, pulled up the beggars of the other two groups, and hit them with their heads, this move, the other two groups of beggars were usually afraid of him, and when they saw him coming, they were beaten again, and hurriedly dodged.

Scarface smiled smugly, but instead of taking the bread, he picked up the beggar on the ground and said, "Go out and eat." ”

Chen Xin whispered to Liu Minyou: "This scar doesn't take the cake himself, but stays inside, this is to rob all five cakes." ”

Liu Min nodded slightly.

In this way, this scarface grabbed two more in a row. The fat man felt that it was not exciting enough, and said to the other two gangs: "But there are only two cakes." ”

Three of Scarface's gang have already finished eating the pancakes, only Scar is still in the circle, and the other two groups of beggars watched others eat the cakes, saliva gushed in their mouths, but there was fire in their eyes, and the smirkling young man's face began to twitch.

"Cake Lailuo!"

The fourth pancake flew into the circle, and Scarface kicked away a beggar who pounced on him, grabbing the pancake. The two little beggars in the youngest group glanced at each other, and the older one suddenly pointed behind Scar and shouted, "There's a dog coming!! ”

The beggar is bullied by the dog every day, reminding each other from time to time, Scar's conditioned reflex immediately turned around, saw that there was no dog, knew that it was not good, just turned his head around, the two little beggars pounced on him one by one, grabbed his hand and bited, Scar was unexpected, both hands were held, and he was bitten and screamed, and the three accomplices outside were in a hurry.

"Bah", Scar hit his head on the door of the little beggar who bit him, the little beggar's nosebleed and fell out of the sky, Scar let go of his right hand, threw away the pancake on the ground, pressed the other little beggar to the ground, punched and beat, and saw that he was going to knock the little beggar unconscious, suddenly heard the wind in his ears, and when he turned his head to look, a stick expanded rapidly in front of his eyes.

"Bang", but it was the smirking young man, who had been standing aside and did not move, at this time, he saw the opportunity, took the stick outside the circle, and hit Scar on the forehead with a round stroke, the force was fierce, Scar fell to the ground without a snort, blood flowed on his head, and there was no movement.

The fat boy screamed "ah", the beggar boy ignored it, and hit the scar with a few sticks, and saw that the scar did not move, so he picked up the pancake, and before the other group of people pounced, he crawled out of the circle with a rolling belt, and as soon as he came out, he desperately stuffed the pancake into his mouth, and a big bag bulged out of his mouth, and the little beggar of his group cheered again and again.

A group of people around him watched the excitement when they saw Scar bleeding and fell to the ground, for fear of getting into trouble, the three farmers were silent, and hurriedly slipped away, the boss was dumbfounded, others can run, he can't run, lost his square inch for a while, and muttered: "How is this good, how is this good." ”

The fat man was also frightened when he saw it, but he didn't expect this little beggar to be so fierce, and as soon as he threw off the remaining pancakes, he was about to get into the carriage and run away.
