Chapter 3: Lucky Mouse
Su Qi looked at Xia Yuxi, who was crying silently, and couldn't help frowning.
When Xia Yuxi was first sold to this place before, she could still talk to this Xia Yuxi, plus the other party was knowledgeable, and taught her to write, some basic etiquette and the like, they were also good friends, but I don't know why, for a long time recently, Xia Yuxi basically went out to beg for no gain, and she deservedly helped her three times, but Xia Yuxi is like a bottomless pit, just talking and not doing, the borrowed money has never been repaid, which makes people feel more and more unreliable.
Not only other little beggars, but even her good friend couldn't stand it, plus now that she had just had the idea of struggle, she thought about it rationally at this moment, and her heart began to hesitate.
In the words of other little beggars, Xia Yuxi is just mud that can't hold up the wall! She already had a complete reputation among the beggars.
"Sister Qiqiao, I know I was wrong before, but I really can't help it, the last time, okay? Tomorrow, even if the princess beats me to death, I will have no complaints. Xia Yuxi stroked the slender ugly scar on her cheek, and her eyes were red from crying.
"Come with me." Su Qiqiao looked at the seven little beggars who were still queuing in front of her, her expression moved, she grabbed her sleeve and led her to the green vine trellis next to the courtyard.
"Sister Qiqiao, what are we doing here?" The summer rain tide is incomprehensible.
Su Qiqiao looked indifferent and stared at her directly, "Yuxi, tell me the truth, where did you get all the money you begged for?" You have a scar on your face, plus you are delicate, you can't go on the street without asking for money, Xiaoshi is lame, people sympathize with him, he can get at least three or four copper plates every day, say, where the hell are you hiding the money? ”
A small stone with a lame leg can do this, Su Qiqiao didn't believe that Xia Yuxi, who had a scar on his face, would fall to such a point.
Su Qiqiao's eyes were full of meaning, staring at Xia Yuxi's whole body in a cold sweat, and he slurred a sentence or two, and he didn't dare to speak for a while.
There was silence under the green vine trellises, only the occasional breeze blew, and the dim light fell on Xia Yuxi's crystal clear eyes, shining.
"Since you don't want to say it, then I can't help it." Su Qiqiao saw that she was wrapping her fingers, bowed her head and said nothing, knowing what she was thinking, she took out two copper plates and stuffed them into her hands, and said coldly, "This is the last time, I want to say that as a friend, I have done my best, and if you don't have any money in the future, you can watch it yourself." ”
After saying that, Su Qiqiao turned around and walked away.
Now that she has a goal to strive for, she can naturally see it clearly, Xia Yuxi relies on herself like this, and it will only be harmful to both of them for a long time, she must let Xia Yuxi recognize the reality, otherwise sooner or later one day the two of them will finish playing, so she does this, which is the real help to her.
“…… Thank you. Xia Yuxi's face was full of tears, she clenched the copper plate in her hand, her face was full of gratitude, and at the same time she secretly swore in her heart that after this time, she must tell Su Qiqiao her secret.
That little mouse, the secret of the Lucky Mouse.
After Su Qiqiao left, he did not return to the large courtyard, but came to a dilapidated small room.
As soon as you enter the door, there is a row of three-zhang large earthen kang, on which there are ten people's broken bedding, her futon is the one on the far right, leaning against the wooden window, the most ventilated at night, and next to her, next to Xia Yuxi's bedding.
Su Qiqiao walked to the far right of the kang and squatted down, pulled out a piece of round shaped soil from the bottom of the kang and saw a small hole.
If other people were here, it would not have been possible to find this small hole, because the round earth has merged with the surrounding concrete, and unless you think about it carefully, you will find that there is actually a hidden mystery here.
Everyone will have a secret base, or under the rocks, next to the roots...... And this small hole is where Su Qiqiao hides her private money, because she thinks that it is one thing to be convenient, and secondly, the most dangerous place is the safest, and others will definitely not think that they will hide money here.
Su Qiqiao took out a piece of broken silver and two copper plates from his underwear, and sighed lightly.
She already had two copper plates, but today she begged and got four more copper plates, and she spent two copper plates on the vegetable buns, and gave Xia Yuxi two more. In this way, all her belongings were only two copper plates, but she got a small piece of broken silver, which brought her much stronger spiritual value than itself, whether it was kept or commemorated, she would never give it to Mrs. Wang.
Xia Yuxi thought about it first, first took out the vegetable bun and stuffed it inside, just put it in, and finally took out the piece of broken silver, full of hope, and was about to put it in, when suddenly a "squeak" sound startled her.
Su Qiqiao hurriedly turned her head, and suddenly found that at some point, a big fat mouse came out of Xia Yuxi's bedding, staring directly at the broken silver in her hand, and then jumped violently and rushed towards Su Qiqiao!
"Ahh Su Qiqiao screamed, but the speed of the fat mouse was amazing, she was just about to run, and the broken silver in her hand was directly caught by the mouse, and she jumped over the wooden window and ran away!
"Stinky rats!" Su Qiqiao was shocked, and was about to run over the window, when suddenly a sharp scolding sound, "You son of a bitch, where did you die for my mother!"
With a "bang", Mrs. Wang slapped the rotten door open roughly, and at a glance she caught a glimpse of Su Qiqiao, who was about to open the window, and walked over directly with a scolding face, stretching out her hand impatiently, "Hurry up, what about the money you asked for today!"
"I ......" Su Qiqiao looked panicked, forcibly suppressed the fear in her heart, hurriedly came down, and carefully spread out her palms, which were the only two copper plates she had left.
"Why are you hiding these two copper plates a day?" Mrs. Wang frowned, threw the copper plate into her dangling money bag, and without saying a word, she directly began to search Su Qiqiao's body.
After some fumbling, Mrs. Wang scolded and let go of her hand, and was about to leave, when suddenly her eyes squinted, she didn't know what she had glimpsed, she pushed Su Qiqiao away, and then took out the vegetable bun that had not been eaten and wrapped in oiled paper from the hole under the kang that had not yet been sealed......
When Mrs. Wang saw it, it exploded in an instant, turned around angrily, and began to tear Su Qiqiao's hair, scolding non-stop, "Okay! You white-eyed wolf, I'm really blind to raise you for so many years, I don't do anything every day, my ability to hide money is not small, I have money to eat vegetable buns, and my small life is more comfortable than mine, right, see if I don't kill you today......"
Su Qiqiao's hair was torn so painfully, and the inexplicable grievances and sadness, as well as the resentment that she had not noticed, suddenly made her reactionary, and then pushed away the princess and pushed her down directly next to the rotten door.
"Oh, why are you so bold? You still want to go to heaven, but you can't do it!" It seems that she never thought that Su Qiqiao would resist her one day, Wang Pozi stumbled under her feet, and was directly pushed to the ground by Su Qiqiao, the expression on her face was wonderful for a moment, her eyes widened, she stood up directly, picked up a feather duster and rushed over to prepare a beating!
Su Qiqiao gritted her teeth, stretched out her hands, and grabbed the other end of the feather duster that fell head-on, but she was already delicate, and she was a sick seedling all the year round, and the strength in her body was naturally not as good as that of Mrs. Wang.
"Whew! My mother will let you know the fate of your hidden things today!" Mrs. Wang scolded and began to smoke directly.
There were already a lot of people around, and many little beggars were so frightened that they understood that Mrs. Wang was killing chickens and monkeys, and that she was going to tell them the price of stealing things with practical actions!
"Don't fight!" Hiding behind the crowd, Xia Yuxi, who was trembling with fright, gritted her teeth, and hurriedly rushed over, grabbed Mrs. Wang, and said with tears in her eyes, "It's me, I dug that hole...... And the two copper plates I gave you just now were also given to me by Sister Qiqiao......"
Xia Yuxi's voice became lower and lower, and her face was flushed.
"What!" As soon as Mrs. Wang heard this, she suddenly got angry, and the feather duster in her hand fell directly on her, and then she scolded her head and face, "I knew that you were a little slut, you stayed here every day to eat and drink for nothing, and you couldn't pick out a single money for half a month, I said why did you suddenly take out the copper plate today, it turns out that you didn't do anything for another day, you shameless white-eyed wolf, I will kill you!"
In an instant, chickens and dogs jumped in the entire compound, and the others didn't dare to come out, and everywhere was Xia Yuxi's tragic cry and Wang Pozi's angry scolding.
