Chapter 119: Begging
But Ruan Tang really didn't think so, she was just born with peach blossom eyes, and when she cried, she added a red mole on her eyebrows, which was especially pitiful, of course Yuan Lang knew that she was attracted by this stupid girl, and unconsciously approached them, even if he left by himself, it would be better to ......survive.
Their three-and-a-half-year-old children lived in this way for three days in the ruined temple of Bian Zhou, South Vietnam.
"Hey, Yuan Lang, we have to think of a way, we can't sit and eat like this, the money is almost spent, and my sister's medicine still needs to be bought ......", Ruan Luo said worriedly.
"You know, isn't this just a way to find a way, hey, Ruan Tang, what else do you have to take out of ...... of value", Yuan Lang thought of her headband.
Ruan Tang, who heard her name called, was washing dishes, and she did what she could in the face of Xiaoshi's strong opposition.
"And ......," Nguyen Tang said.
"Sister, you don't need ...... yet", Xiao Shi interrupted her, "we can try to do some odd jobs......", Ruan Luo suggested.
"Who, you? 8-year-old kid, Ruan Tang? 10-year-old sick seedling, don't I still go out to work? Do you know that you have to be hired to go out to work, and with our status as temporary civilians, if we don't get it right, we will really become slaves, and anyone can sell us, and we will still be ownerless slaves......", Yuan Lang laughed angrily.
"Then what should I do" I can't go out to work, and I'm afraid of being caught and being a beggar?" , Ruan Luo also said angrily.
"It's not impossible", Motoro really thought about this possibility.
"No, little stone, are we going to be beggars, will we be broken hands and feet......", Ruan Tang asked with teary eyes.
"Whoever wants to break your hands and feet, you just have to shed a few tears in front of the powerful men......," Motoro mocked.
"Shut up, Yuan Lang, don't always make fun of my sister", Ruan Luo said dissatisfied.
"Why should I cry before them, and when I cry they will give me money? Isn't this still a beggar? It's so easy", Ruan Tang said suspiciously.
"Cut, stupid sugar cube", Motoro whispered,
They don't have any good ways to make money, Ruan Luo's plan to report to Ruan Yongning is even more incomprehensible, no money and no power who cares about you, it's good if you haven't been deceived, Yuan Lang has only worked with the previous master, and there is no good way to do a civilian job, so the three of them can only beg, it is really helpless.
Ruan Luo was worried that her sister was alone in the broken temple, afraid that she would be arrested when they went out, so the three of them still acted together, Yuan Lang originally proposed to be a thief, but was vetoed by Ruan Tang and Ruan Luo's strong opposition, just kidding, no matter how poor you are, you can't do things like stealing chickens and dogs, Ruan Tang, a good girl who received a good social education in her previous life, disagrees, and Xiao Ruan Luo, who accepts Confucian culture, will not be shameless to do things that do not conform to the style of a gentleman, this is a matter of dignity, Yuan Lang glanced at his mouth, and he really didn't know the eldest lady and the little master who didn't know the suffering of the world.
When Ruan Luo was leaving, she asked her sister to wipe her little face and exposed skin, and asked her to try to lower her head not to look directly at strangers, and try not to expose her sister's appearance, the little girl understood what he meant, her face was really attractive (Ruan Tang said that there was no way, it was so beautiful), although Ruan Tang was still sick, but he could walk slowly.
"My sister and I are together, Yuan Lang, you go to the other side, we will go separately and meet here at noon," Ruan Luo said.
"Is it okay for you two rookies?" , Motoro asked.
"Of course there is no problem," Ruan Luo said confidently.
"Then good luck to you, don't get caught", after saying that, Yuan Lang whistled and left in style.
"You were just caught, ahem", Ruan Tang's pale face turned red, and he said dissatisfiedly.
"Sister, it's okay, don't bother with him", Ruan Luo reassured.
"Well, I know", "He can't spit out ivory from his wolf mouth, it's annoying", Ruan Tang whispered.
"Little rock, what are we going to do?" , Ruan Tang asked his younger brother, thinking, "It won't be kneeling on the ground like in TV, and there will be a broken bowl in front of it, there must be a bowl with a big gap, why are their sisters and brothers so miserable."
"Ah, sister, let's go to the crowded market first, you follow me, no, I'll call you big brother in the future, you're a boy, don't let others know you're a girl", Xiaoshi advised.
"Well, I understand", Ruan Tang nodded obediently and said, she did not think as thoughtful as Xiao Shi sometimes did.
The bazaar in Bianzhou was also bustling, and the "brothers" found a corner that would not interfere with the walking of others, but also allow many people to see their place easily.
The brothers sat on the ground, a rag was placed on the ground, and the broken bowl was picked up from the garbage heap by a small stone, "so embarrassing", but fortunately the face was smeared, and the small stone was also white and tender, and the face was blackened, which should be too clean to be suitable for food.
"I'm afraid that Xiao Shi's heart is not calm at this time", Ruan Tang understood that money can't buy everything, but it is really essential, a penny is difficult for heroes, if they want to survive before returning to Beiying, they must first find a way to support themselves, and it is good to earn more money for travel expenses. It is impossible to go to a large family to be a slave, but when they go out to work, they are small and no one can hire them, and they can't do manual work, and there are dangers, so they can only make this decision.
Xiao Shi came up with the idea of making money by writing letters to people, and it was okay to sell words, but they didn't have extra money to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, as for the little girl Ruan Tang's embroidery work, there was no need to think about it, and no one would buy it if it was pasted upside down, because of this, Yuan Lang laughed at Ruan Tang a lot.
"Haha, are you still a girl? I can't even do embroidery well, and I can't marry ...... you because of the past that you said with this face," said Motoro.
"Shut up! Ahem, it's only temporary, as long as I practice hard, I'll be fine", the little girl said unwillingly.
"But now there's no extra needlework for you to practice, stupid candy cubes," said Motoro, striking her, "if you can't get married, I'll barely ......."
"Enough, Yuanlang, don't say it", Ruan Luo began to protect her sister's face.
"Hmph, some people are lining up to marry me, so you can't marry a daughter-in-law," Ruan Tang replied not to be outdone.
"Then if I can't marry a daughter-in-law, I'll marry ......", Yuan Lang was interrupted by Ruan Luo before he finished speaking.
"Okay, sister, it's time to drink the medicine", Ruan Luo diverted the topic.
Yuan Lang reluctantly withdrew what he wanted to say, stared at Ruan Tang and drank the medicine, "Don't be careful, little sugar cubes, sick seedlings ......."
This is the end of the memories
The little girl began to sigh, why didn't she practice female red more in the first place, otherwise she could embroider something and sell it for money, "Alas, ......".
"Big brother, don't sigh, we will definitely go back to Beiying", Ruan Luo squatted in front of the little boy (Ruan Tang) and comforted.
"Well, we will definitely be able to go back and reunite with our parents......
Their imagination was beautiful and plump, but after a morning, the reality was skinny, the dream was shattered, there was not a single copper in the broken bowl, it was empty, and it was cleaner than the pocket.
"Ah——, it's not the same as what you play on TV, no one gives us money," the little boy said regretfully.
"It seems that the people of Bianzhou have no money, and they are far from our Frost City," Xiaoshi echoed.
"Ahem, are you thirsty, little stone, drink some water", Ruan Tang took out a bottle of water from the rag bag on the side and gave it to him.
"You drink first, big brother", Ruan Luo saw that her sister's lips were a little peeling, so she persuaded that the hot water was not enough now, and she had to pick up some firewood at night.
"Hey, boys, you don't have any money, you just get up to the time," said an old beggar.
"What? Old man ......", Ruan Tang's blurted out words that were stopped by his younger brother.
"Big brother!"
"My sister's voice is too delicate, not a boy's crisp voice," Ruan Luo thought to herself.
"Grandpa, do you have any advice?" , The old beggar was just attracted by Ruan Tang's voice, and then he was diverted by Ruan Luo.
"In front of Willow Street, there is a wealthy businessman Liu Shanren who wants to distribute rice porridge at noon and do good deeds, you can go and ask for a bowl of porridge to drink, and if you are lucky, you can also grab dry food steamed buns," the old beggar said kindly.
"Really? Thank you, old man, how could you tell us such a good thing", Ruan Luo asked with some doubts, isn't it that the less people know, the less competition.
"It's not that the old man, I'm not good at my hands and feet, I can't run fast, and I can't rob them, if you grab food, as a reward for me to provide you with information, give me some food, if there is any good news in the future, I will tell you, don't look at my old Han people, but I have also been in Bianzhou City for decades", the old beggar said in the end, which made Ruan Tang feel a little proud that he had been a beggar for so many years.
"Have you been a beggar for decades? It's a little pitiful," Ruan Tang thought to himself.
And Ruan Luo thought, "Have you been a beggar for decades?" Isn't this waste? ”。
If the old beggar knew what the old beggar had in their heads, they wondered if they would have been beaten to death with a stick.
"Okay, deal", Ruan Luo said briskly.
"Big brother, let's go", Ruan Luo took the eldest brother's hand and left, heading to Willow Street.
"Well, little stone," Ruan Tang said in a low voice.
"Big brother, in the future, in front of outsiders, you have to control your voice, don't be too girly", said Xiaoshi on the road.
"Hmm", Ruan Tang cleared his throat and replied in a deep voice.
Besides, the merchant surnamed Liu distributed rice porridge and steamed buns on the street to do good deeds, and he really prepared a lot of food, and there were many ragged beggars or poor people to fight for it, and the steamed buns were less than rice porridge, so the competition was fierce.
Yes, they won't line up, they won't respect the old and love the young, everyone is equal in the face of hunger, of course Ruan Tang can't rob them, he is still injured, he can only watch things, and the little stone charges.
"Little stone, be careful, if you can't grab it, forget it......," Ruan Tang admonished.
"Got it, big brother".
