Okay, little girl, my child hasn't eaten for three days, and if he doesn't eat, he'll starve to death. ”

A woman, poor and weak, begged.

Angelica took out two large meat buns, handed them to the woman, and said, "Take them, don't let the child go hungry." ”

"Thank you, girl......"

The woman hurriedly reached out and took the bun and said words of thanks to Angelica one after another.

When the other beggars saw that the woman had begged for the bun, they all gathered around Angelica.

"Little girl, okay, I haven't eaten in five days."

“……”

The big guys all begged from Angelica, and Angelica looked at them very pitiful, so he pulled Long Xilin's sleeve and said, "Ah Lin, give them all our steamed buns, and each person will be given a steamed bun and a steamed bun." ”

Long Xilin looked at the pity for those people in Angelica's eyes, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.

Dangdang can only be good to me alone, why should she be good to these people?

Although Long Xilin's heart was very unbalanced, he still didn't mean to disobey Angelica, he glanced at those people indifferently, stretched out his right hand forward, and said, "If you want to eat steamed buns, just line up." ”

When everyone heard this, they were immediately excited, looking at the buns in Long Xilin's hand, like a wolf seeing meat, they all squeezed towards him one by one, but they didn't dare to squeeze too hard, so as not to squeeze the gold master, then they wouldn't be able to eat anything.

"Everybody line up, everybody."

Angelica came out, stood beside Ah Lin, and shouted to everyone.

Long Xilin added a sentence on the side: "If someone squeezes indiscriminately and hurts people, they won't be able to eat anything." ”

When the big guy heard this, he didn't dare to squeeze anymore, lined up in a proper manner, and then took away the buns and steamed buns from Long Xilin's hands one by one.

"The little girl and the little boy are really bodhisattvas, it's just that there are so many beggars in our Linping Town, and the two of them are so generous, I don't know how much money to send out every day."

The boss of the bun shop behind him looked at Angelica and Long Xilin with a complicated expression.

Angelica came over and said, "Let's Linping Town, are there a lot of beggars?" ”

Angelica has been so busy lately that he hasn't paid attention to the situation in Linping Town.

What she knows is that although Xinghua Village is very poor, and everyone has poor food and clothing, they don't have to go out to beg.

Why are there so many beggars in Linping Town?

The owner of the steamed bun shop sighed and said: "Last year, there was a flood in Jiangyin City, and a large number of fertile fields were washed away, and the people of Jiangyin City were displaced in large numbers and went to other cities to beg for a living.

Our Linping Town is just upstream of Jiangyin City, so many people over there have come to our Linping Town. ”

Speaking of this, the owner of the steamed bun shop suddenly approached Angelica and said in a low voice: "Those men who are strong and can do kung fu have all gone to the White Tiger Gang, and those of us who do small business have a hard time, and every month from last year's two taels of silver to five taels of silver, a full five taels of silver......

The owner of the bun shop said, and the tiredness could be heard in his voice.

"Five taels of silver, is the protection fee you paid to the White Tiger Gang? Does the court still collect taxes? ”

Angelica was very shocked in his heart, a small bun shop had to pay five taels of silver to the White Tiger Gang every month, and the White Tiger Gang's heart was also dark.

If the imperial court also collects taxes, then these ordinary people who open shops will not be swept away by people?
