"Boom la la ......"

Two buckets of swill, which smelled extremely fishy and foul-smelling, were dumped on the garbage heap, "buzzing" and attracting countless foraging flies.

"Ahem...... Burst...... It really TND stinks! A young man dressed as a restaurant guy spat viciously at the mountain-high garbage heap, threw the bucket of swill into the wheelbarrow, turned around and pushed the cart away.

Before long, the garbage was crawling with black flies the size of a dense fingernail, happily playing with their tentacles and eating their favorite food.

At this time, there was no one next to the garbage heap, but more than a dozen homeless people suddenly ran out of the corner of the vegetable market, crawling into the garbage heap like a swarm.

The "buzzing ......" flies scattered and fled again, facing this group of creatures countless times larger than them, and could only give the food in their hands.

One by one, the stinky fish and rotten shrimp were snatched away by the homeless people, and they didn't care about the shark fin shrimp skin at all, only a little meat and umami, all of which were stuffed into their mouths, and they were swallowed into their stomachs with their bones and skin.

This is a delicious lunch, due to the Maple Leaf House store celebration activities, so today's oil and water is obviously much more than yesterday's, although they are not too full, but can drink a little leftovers from the mountains and seas, and also feel very satisfied, after all, not every day there is such a good food.

More than a dozen homeless people patted their stomachs with satisfaction, pulled on the garbage heap for a while, picked up a few blackened toothpicks, and one of them held one in their mouths, and swaggered away.

"Buzzing ......" The flies surrounded again, but by this time they could only eat some soup and oil.

At noon, the scorching sun scorched the earth, although it was not as hot as dog days, but people still stopped playing and traveling, and hid under the shade of the garden trees one by one, or in the shade of the teahouse, chatting, drinking herbal tea, and the days were always quite leisurely. Taking advantage of this sparse crowd, the street division of Yangzhou City also began to work, each pulling an ox cart and cleaning up the garbage from street to street.

Although there is a lot of garbage, but it is very fast to clean up, only a short time, there are two ox carts parked next to the garbage heap in the vegetable market, the garbage at this time is obviously much less than just now, I think it is a wild cat and wild dog and eat a lot of rotten vegetables and leaves, only some biting garbage remains.

The staff of the two street divisions seemed to have become accustomed to the overwhelming stench, and one put on a black cloth mask and began to work.

It didn't take long for the two carts of large garbage cans to be filled, the two glanced at each other, wiped the sweat on their foreheads, and pulled the ox cart slowly out of the city.

The first two cars had just left, and two more came on the other side, parked next to the garbage heap and cleaned up. It didn't take long for the garbage in this area to bottom, one of the young men went down with a wooden tree, but he shoveled a hard thing, and was about to slam it hard, but another old man next to him hurriedly grabbed him, and said in a low voice: "Don't use brute force, the wooden handle is easy to break, I'm afraid it's a corpse again, let's carry him to the bucket." As he spoke, he gently pulled away the bits and pieces of garbage buried in the corpse with a wooden catalpa.

The young man wiped his sweat, squinted at the scorching sun overhead, and complained reluctantly: "Daddy, isn't this the job of collecting the morgue, what do we do with him?" ”

Hearing this question, the old man stopped his movements and straightened his waist, and reprimanded him with a little unhappiness: "If it falls into the hands of their group of people, can you still leave a whole corpse?" It's a person anyway, not a pheasant or wild dog, let's dig a pit and bury him, it's better than being taken away by a beast! ”

"Wouldn't it be a waste of a good ......body to bury him," the young man muttered in a low voice.

When the old man heard this, he blew his beard angrily and glared, and raised the wooden catalpa to slash at the young man, but the man hurriedly dodged, and said softly while running: "Okay Dad, according to you, let's open the coffin again and bury him beautifully, our old Feng family is virtuous, right?" ”

The old man snorted at him and scolded: "There are a lot of words, and you don't work yet!" ”

The young man laughed, walked to the garbage heap in three or two steps, bent down and played with the garbage with his hands, and said to the old man: "Dad, I'll get it, you first find a shady place to rest, this sun is shining, and the sun kills people." ”

"Okay, you, your dad and I didn't do any hard work when I was young, that is, Lord Wang appreciated it, and found such an easy errand for our grandfather, do you think my dad really can't do it?" The old man said that he had another wooden tree in his hand, and quickly and steadily swept away a layer of dust on the corpse's face, without touching half of the flesh.

"Wow, Daddy, that's a good way to do it...... the young man quipped.

"Shhhhh......h......h

"Huh...... This dress is not bad, like a child of a rich family. The young man touched the fabric of his clothes and said with some regret.

The two of them soon carried the corpse to the cart, the old man drove the ox cart, the young man followed behind the cart, and the old man and the young man slowly walked out of the city under the scorching sun.

The ox cart was slow, and the two of them walked dozens of miles into the mountains and forests outside the city, which took a lot of time, and when the burial site was chosen, the sun had set, and the two of them were hungry, but they still insisted on digging a corpse pit, carried the corpse off the cart, and gently put it into the pit.

After doing all this, the old man knelt on the ground and worshipped, and the young man knelt on the ground, only to hear the old man praying in a low voice: "I think you are so young, you lost your life early, it is really a pity, we can only help you here, I hope the little brother can have a good baby in the next life, oh...... No, in the next life, I will still be a free lynx and wild dog, don't be a human again, Feng Laohan will send the little brother on the last journey here. ”

After speaking, they got up, and the two danced the catalpa, and soon buried most of the corpse, leaving only the dirty head, and the young man shoveled up a piece of wet soil and said: "Take a last look, don't take the wrong path in the next life." As he spoke, he gently raised the wooden catalpa in his hand, and with a "chirp", a pile of wet soil poured onto the corpse's face.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Just when the atmosphere was solemn, the corpse suddenly coughed violently twice, the two of them glanced at each other, and exclaimed at the same time: "Fake the corpse!" As soon as he threw the wooden catalpa in his hand, he pulled the ox cart and was about to escape, and the cow seemed to feel a trace of eerie and terrifying aura, "moo" A high-pitched howl, four legs spun around, and he fled from the scene of the corpse.

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Nangong Jin struggled to pull away the heavy soil buried in his body, and glanced around in a daze, at this time the night had fallen, and he could only hear the sound of insects and birds, and he did not climb out of the pit in a hurry, but fell into the soft soil pit, with the back of his head pillowed his arm, looking at the twinkling starry sky in a daze.

Did you get through it? Perhaps.

He felt that his chest no longer seemed to be as dull as before, as long as he didn't want to do those things, he was still not as sad as before, there were no ties in his heart, but his stomach was "cooing" and crying out of hunger, he shook his head helplessly, got up with difficulty, and touched his hand to his waist, but it was empty, and the long sword and the scabbard had long been lost to where they had been lost.

How good is that?

After surviving that momentum, he had no heart to die, he groped around for a while, found a sharp stone, and walked deep into the mountains and forests.

It took him more than half the night to catch a prey, a poor little flower snake, sighed, and released it back into the mountains......

He wanted to catch some hares and wild boars again, but his body couldn't bear it, and secondly, his weapons and equipment were much worse, so he could only give up eating meat, picked some wild mushrooms and wild fruits, and ate a few bites indiscriminately, and the hunger was finally not as strong as before.

In the mountains and forests, he didn't dare to sleep, and after sleeping for so many days, he didn't feel sleepy, so he walked to a small stream, wanting to clean up, but he smiled bitterly and turned his head to walk out of the mountains and forests.

If the heart is not clean, what if the face is clean?

This way was like a wandering spirit, and when he arrived at Yangzhou City, the soldiers guarding the city looked at him with disdain, covered his nose and waved his hand and let him go.

He found a cool and secluded place, it was a hay house stacked with hay, next to the first steamed bun shop in the south of the city, he didn't have money to eat, he only felt his legs weak, sat down, fell on his back on the grass, stretched his waist comfortably, and closed his eyes.

As the sun rises again, there are more and more pedestrians on the road, the business of the steamed bun shop is very prosperous, and it is sold in the morning until there is only one cage left, the owner of the steamed bun shop began to greet the guys to pack up the guys, but two tourists from other places stopped beside him and said: "Boss, come to four steamed buns, two meat and two vegetarian." ”

The boss bowed with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, the two guest officers are late, and the buns are all sold out." ”

"Isn't there another cage?" The guest pointed to the last basket of steamed buns on the stall and wondered.

"Two guest officers, this cage is reserved for the brothers in winter clothes." The boss explained with a smile.

"Winter clothes?"

"Uh...... It's like this......" The boss was just about to explain, when dozens of beggars with long bamboo poles suddenly poured out from the corner of the street, and walked straight to the bun shop, the boss took a look, and then said to the guest: "Two, they are the brothers in cold clothes." ”

The two guests glanced back, what kind of winter clothes, it turned out to be a group of stinky begging for food, the two pouted, glanced at the group of beggars with contempt, suddenly smelled a strong fishy smell, hurriedly covered their mouths and noses, cursed in a low voice, and left the bun shop as if they were fleeing.

The group of beggars seemed to be accustomed to this kind of scene, and their faces did not show any dissatisfaction, but they just smiled and handed the broken bowl in their hands to the stall, and the leading beggar said: "Boss Li, how is the business today?" ”

The owner of the steamed bun shop surnamed Li put the last basket of steamed buns into the broken bowl one by one, and responded with his mouth: "Hehe...... Entrusted to a few brothers to take care of, the business is not bad. ”

The group of beggars took the bowl into their arms and said one by one: "Thank you, Boss Li, Wishing you prosperity." After speaking, he walked to the next shop, and the beggar said a few more words to Boss Li, and then left slowly.

Until noon, the beggars finally filled their stomachs, and returned to the grass hut next to the bun shop to take a nap.

Of course, this person is Nangong Jin.

It turned out that Nangong Jin thought that the people around him were noisy, and the weather was slightly cold in the morning, so he covered the haystack on his body and prepared to sleep well. But how did he know that Yangzhou City was expensive, how could he vacate a piece of land for him to settle down, this piece of land was a shelter for the beggars.

The beggar gang, the largest gang in the world, the huge gap between the rich and the poor caused by the influx of trialists and various means, has led to more and more poor people, and more and more people have joined the beggar gang.

At the instigation of his trialist disciples, Xie Qixian, the elder of the Nine Bags of Transmission Gong, successfully split the beggar gang, led the disciples of the three rudders to the south, established the Southern Beggars Gang, and crossed the river with the Northern Beggars Gang and begged.

It is said that it is to draw the boundary of the river, but in fact it is not so strict, they are all poor brothers, although the north and the south are divided, they will not fight because of the territory, the three cities in the south are compact, and there is a lot of oil and water, so the sphere of influence of the southern beggars gang has gradually penetrated into the border of the Huai River. One day, the two gang leaders held a negotiation in a friendly and peaceful atmosphere, redefining the scope of begging, with the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River as the boundary, and from then on not encroaching on each other.

And Yangzhou obviously belongs to the begging range of the Southern Beggars.

Although the Southern Beggars Gang has no quarrel with the world, it does not mean that it is the target of bullying by mermaids, and the number one gang in the world is not just talking, they also have their own territory in the city.

For example, the haystack where Nangong Jin is lying now, that is where Ge Xiaolou, the three-bag disciple of the Nan Beggars Gang, often sleeps.

"Hey...... Wake up, which brother are you? Ge Xiaolou kicked Nangong Jin's ass and asked impatiently.
