On the horizon, a thin ray of sunlight passed through the twilight, slowly rose on the horizon, and suddenly fell straight down, through the wooden window, like a lubricated light cloth, gently sliding on Su Qiqiao's slender eyebrows.

Su Qiqiao opened his eyes slightly, his expression was slightly dazed, he turned his head to look at Xia Yuxi, who was still asleep, sat up, opened the broken bedding, looked up, and found that the sky was slightly bright, plus it was the height of summer, and it should have passed the hour at this moment.

Su Qiqiao stretched out his hand and scratched it, only to find that overnight, several small red spots had been bitten by mosquitoes on his palms and arms.

Over there, Mrs. Wang was already rushing over with a feather duster in her hand, and before they even stepped through the door, they had already woken up their little beggars.

With a "bang", Mrs. Wang rudely pushed open the almost non-existent rotten door, and when she saw the little girls still wearing beggar clothes on the kang, she scolded them.

"The sun is all on the buttocks, and I'm still sleeping! The boy over there got up before dawn to fetch water to feed the pigs, why are you dead girls so expensive, all day long in addition to sleeping is eating, I can raise a pig and slaughter it, every day I look at it one by one makes me upset. ”

Mrs. Wang scolded and shouted, and when she saw who was slow, she directly slapped a feather duster and waited for her, but in a moment, Su Qiqiao and Xia Yuxi were left among the ten little beggars in a room.

"What's the matter? You don't exist as a dead mother, you don't even drive me when I've been yelling for a long time, you get up for me!" Mrs. Wang saw that Xia Yuxi was motionless, so she prepared to go over and pull her up.

"Auntie, she can't get up now, don't worry, I'll give her money today, I swear." Su Qiqiao couldn't stand it, so she quickly stopped Mrs. Wang, for fear that she would be ruthless again.

Although Xia Yuxi ate some pancakes and white film last night, his body was better, but because the injuries on his body were too serious, let alone going out to beg, he couldn't even go to the ground, so he had to recuperate for a few days.

"You swear?" Mrs. Wang turned her head and sneered at her, "You swear to be a hairy person, what kind of big man do you really think you are?" But I'm talking ugly in front, if you don't get six copper plates today, not only this dead girl, you also get out of here, I'll starve you to death!"

"Got it." Su Qiqiao gritted his teeth and answered, knowing that Mrs. Wang had given up, so she picked up the broken bowl and walked out.

"Hmph, a money-losing thing raised by a son of a bitch." Mrs. Wang glanced at Xia Yuxi, who was cowering in the quilt and didn't dare to move, snorted coldly, twisted her waist like a bucket and left.

Su Qiqiao walked on the road, touched her empty belly, walked all the way out of the small courtyard, and just came to the gate, suddenly Xiao Jin in her sleeve squeaked.

"Huh?" Su Qiqiao was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Xiao Jin swooped out, and then quickly jumped under an elm tree, constantly agitating the two small front paws, and pulled up vigorously.

Su Qiqiao was startled, looked around, and found that no one noticed, so he hurriedly ran over to block Xiao Jin, and was about to put it back on his sleeve, when he was shocked to see Xiao Jin pull out seven copper plates from the crack in the stone next to the root of the tree!

"Squeak." Xiao Jin crossed his waist, squeaked proudly, and turned his head to look at Su Qiqiao, who was full of shock.

Su Qiqiao's face was full of fanaticism, and he was about to pick it up in one go, when he suddenly thought of something, his little hand shrank, and he quickly calmed down, "This should be a place where other little beggars hide money, we can't touch it." ”

She knows that as a beggar, everyone has more or less private money, just to save an emergency or something, although she loves money, she will not steal other people's money, just like Xia Yuxi taught her before, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way.

After that, Su Qiqiao hurriedly put the stone back and blocked the crack in the stone.

"Squeak." Xiao Jin's face was full of disappointment, it had pulled this small hole before, but Xia Yuxi had a reaction when he saw Su Qiqiao now, so that it had no sense of existence at all......

"Let's go, don't look at it." Su Qiqiao sighed lightly, put Xiao Jin back in his sleeve, and then looked at a small room in front of the elm tree, which was where the male beggars lived, among them there was a beggar boss, named Pei He, who suppressed other little beggars every day, and was very favored by the princess, there were seven copper plates hidden here, and she estimated that Pei He had hidden them here.

Su Qi thought about it, remembered today's task, and hurriedly soaked out of the yard.

Su Qiqiao's steps were heavy, and he saw many friends and accomplices along the way. These people were all grizzled and tattered, and they either crouched half-dead in the corner, or they stood up and kept wandering, holding broken bowls and calling passers-by with a flattering face......

Su Qiqiao couldn't bear it, as if she saw her previous self, before she completely changed, just like yesterday, she was also like these people, eating and waiting for death every day, looking half-dead, living like a puppet and having no soul.

Now it's different, she now believes that no matter what kind of predicament she goes through, there will be a day when she can see the moon and live well, there will always be a way.

Su Qi thought about it, looked at the passers-by, and then looked at the other little beggars, thought for a while from the perspective of a bystander, and suddenly realized that she must not go on like this anymore, she must take the initiative! Instead of wagging his tail all the time and begging for please.

Just now, I saw a woman in a thorn hairpin cloth skirt carrying a heavy burden on her left shoulder, especially a small basket on her right hand, and was about to run over, suddenly realized that something was wrong, quickly came to a tea shed, greeted Xiao Er, a scoop of water went down, and the little hands and face were clean, and then quickly ran over.

Su Qiqiao walked quickly and snatched the basket from the woman's hand.

"Huh? You ......" The woman only felt a light hand, and looked back at Su Qiqiao, who was dressed in beggar clothes and had a white and clean face, reacted and smiled lightly, "Thank you, little girl." ”

"You're welcome, I'm idle anyway, don't worry, madam, my hands are clean." Su Qiqiao saw that she was not dissatisfied, and hurriedly freed up a hand by the way, except for a few small red dots visible to the naked eye, it was indeed very clean.

"Oh?" The woman smiled, a trace of mustard in her heart gradually dissipated, and she didn't speak, but took Su Qiqiao around and walked for a while.

Su Qiqiao looked at it, the basket was full of vegetable leaves, but she didn't know why, her whole body was strong, and she still felt ...... It's so heavy!

"I'll just come, the bottom of this basket is full of eggs, and a layer of greens is on top." The woman smiled lightly and prepared to bring it.

"Huh? No, I'm really fine. Su Qiqiao gritted her teeth, in addition to not eating is a reason, it seems that she really needs to exercise well.

The woman was not reluctant, walked for almost a stick of incense, came to an iron-locked gate, put down the burden on her shoulders, took the basket, lifted the green leaves, took out a large egg from it, and handed it to her, "Come, the reward is for you." ”

Su Qiqiao's face was overjoyed, and he was about to take over, when he was suddenly stunned and scratched his head, "Madam, I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't need it, and ...... I can't cook raw eggs......"

In the end, Su Qiqiao blushed, she really couldn't boil raw eggs.

"Yo, you see I forgot." The woman was stunned, suddenly laughed, took out a copper plate from her pocket and winked and smiled, "That's all right, just take it, otherwise I won't be able to get through it." ”

"Thank you." Su Qiqiao looked excited, without the slightest pretentiousness, took the copper plate, and hurriedly thanked him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his face almost cried.

This copper plate is the first time she has earned money by her own labor, and she understands that even if she becomes a little beggar, she does not necessarily have to eat and wait for death and do nothing.

Little beggars can also have big dreams!
