Chapter 37: The Little Beggar

On the sixth day of July, the Xiao family shop.

A young man had just sent off the guests who had come to buy rice, when he saw three young men standing in front of the door, who were very different in size, and he was surprised and said, "You again?" ”

The three of them are Gao Wuji, Li Worm and Dwarf Tiger. Among them, Li Worm stepped forward and said to the guy: "Second brother, may I ask if the fourth young master is back?" ”

"Nope." The man shook his head, he cautiously glanced at Gao Wuji, who was tall and rugged-looking, hid his impatient expression in his eyes, and said, "Counting today, it has been ten days since the Fourth Young Master disappeared, and Master Xiao and Senior Young Master Xiao have also hired people to search for him inside and outside the city many times, but they still haven't heard from him!" Therefore, it is useless for you to ask every day! ”

Li Worm'er's expression froze slightly, and he glanced at Gao Wuji and Dwarf Tiger, and the eyes of the three of them were full of deep worry.

"The fourth young master is a good person, this corrupt official!" The young man let out an inexplicable sigh, then turned around and went back to the shop to continue working, for him, how much salary he can receive from the Xiao family's account every month is what he cares about the most, Xiao Ruixue is just a good young owner in his impression, but as long as the Xiao family's rice shop does not fall, what does it matter if this person is not there?

Gao Wuji and the three walked aimlessly on the street. Counting up, it has only been less than half a month since they met Xiao Ruixue, but Xiao Ruixue has been generous to others and has helped them more or less, not to mention that they are suffering together in prison, the friendship between young people is natural and simple, at this moment, they confirmed that Xiao Ruixue's whereabouts are unknown, how can they not feel a trace of sadness in their hearts.

"Wuji, let's just take Young Master Xiao and walk with us that night, and we won't get to this point!" Li Worm'er's eyes were filled with tears.

After Gao Wuji was silent for a long time, he also nodded, with deep self-reproach on his face. In comparison, the friendship between Dwarf Tiger and Xiao Ruixue is a little shallow, but seeing his two brothers so sad, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

After a long time, the three of them had walked to a bustling market, and looking at the lively crowd around them, their heavy mood was relieved. There was a small stall selling cloth on the side of the road not far away, Li Worm seemed to think of something, reached out and took out a money bag in his arms, and the dwarf tiger asked, "Worm, what are you doing?" ”

"I want to buy some fabric for my sister so she can make a dress for herself."

Dwarf Tiger nodded: "I see that Sister Mei'er's clothes have been worn by her for many years, and now they are all patches, it is really time to change them to a new one!" ”

Li Worm smiled bitterly: "Sister is not like this for me?" Because she said that I should wear a decent man outside, so I made clothes with all the fabrics I saved over the years, and now she is eighteen years old, but she is still dressed like a beggar, although she is not bad, but no one can afford her, and no one in the ordinary family is willing to go to my house to propose marriage. ”

Gao Wuji patted Li Worm'er on the shoulder: "Worm, your mother died early, your father is that kind of person, your sister is like your mother, you should do your filial piety!" And when you say this, I also think of my mother, go, I'll go buy it with you! ”

The dwarf tiger looked at the two of them and couldn't help but look envious. Gao Wuji said: "Dwarf Tiger, you can also buy a piece of cloth for your mother!" ”

The dwarf tiger bowed his head shyly: "But I don't have any money." ”

"Go and pick one, and count it on my head!"

"I can't do it, I can't do it! A piece of cloth costs a lot of money! ”

Li Worm said: "Brothers are blessed to share, dwarf tigers don't have to postpone!" Mowgli, I'll be half of you for the dwarf tiger's share! So he and Gao Wuji dragged the dwarf tiger forward, but the dwarf tiger couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.

At this moment, a beggar in ragged clothes and dusty appeared in front of the three of them, the beggar was not tall, about the same as a dwarf tiger, and his figure was extremely thin, he held a stick in one hand, and stretched out his other hand towards the three of them: "A few Lang Jun, it's good, I haven't eaten for a few days!" "Not to mention, this hand is thin and long, quite beautiful, but it is dark and dirty, and the beggar's voice sounds a little crisp, obviously a young man.

The three of them looked at the little beggar who came out of nowhere, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and when they realized that the little beggar was begging from them, Li Worm quickly stuffed the money bag that had already been taken out back into his arms, and said, "I don't have much money with me, you better go and ask for it elsewhere!" ”

Under the little beggar's dirty face, the pair of black eyes blinked twice, and said, "This Langjun, I obviously saw your money bag bulging just now!" ”

A hint of redness flashed on Li Worm'er's face, and she pursed her lips and said, "Most of the stones in there are used to save face!" ”

"I see!" The little beggar groaned slightly, and then looked up at Gao Wuji, his dark eyes showed a little pitiful: "This tall man, I see that you are extraordinary, and you must be a benevolent and righteous person!" I haven't eaten in days, and I'm going to die without anything to eat, see if I canβ€”" Then he blinked twice at Gao Wuji, tears welling up in his eyes.

Gao Wuji scratched his head, opened his money bag, and after picking out a small piece of broken silver about one tael, he was about to speak: "Wait a minute, I'll go exchange for some copper coins." But the little beggar was quick-eyed, snatched the broken silver, and kept nodding his head and thanking: "Lang Jun is generous, Lang Jun is generous!" ”

Gao Wuji's eyes widened, and he was speechless, only to see the little beggar looking up and grinning at him, a row of neat teeth looking white and bright. Li Worm was a little blind, and said angrily: "Little beggar, don't leave quickly after taking the silver!" ”

"Okay, let's go! Thank you so much! The little beggar smiled slightly, turned around and left, and suddenly his feet were weak, and he fell into Li Worm'er's arms, Li Worm was so frightened that he stretched out his hands to support his shoulders, and said while pushing out: "What are you doing?" This dress was washed by my sister in the morning! ”

The little beggar reached out and rubbed his head, finally cheered up, stood up straight and apologized, "I haven't eaten for a long time, I must be hungry and faint!" This Lang Jun accidentally stained your clothes, I'll wipe them for you! ”

As soon as Li Worm saw the black hand stretched out, her eyelids jumped: "No need, no need, you go, you go!" ”

The little beggar stopped his hand and smiled slightly: "Then I have thanked the two beneficians here, and I will leave!" With that, he really left.

It wasn't until the little beggar disappeared that Li Worm'er's frowning brows relaxed, but he always felt that something was wrong, and said to himself: "Two bengongs? Why two? Suddenly, he exclaimed, and reached into his bosom, but it was empty. A high-pitched roar suddenly sounded on the street: "Catch the thief! ”

At this time, in the dark of the corner of a teahouse, the little beggar looked at Li Worm who was already crazy on the street with a smile, reached out and checked a money bag in his hand, and smiled: "Don't be a stingy ghost, but in the end you will be a big ghost, hum!" ”
