Brother Lai nodded. The process of dealing with it was very smooth, and it was also very cruel, there was no anesthetic, only soju, he screamed in pain, and finally couldn't bear the pain and fainted halfway, which also made Si Xi breathe a sigh of relief, it sounded too miserable.

After processing, Wen Yuan took out a notched jar, which was said to have been picked up by the river, and began to boil some gruel, don't look at his young age, he is indeed careful in his treatment of food, all the buns they got from the yamen are kept by him, and Sixi only cares about money. Just this porridge, that rice is counted one by one! Si Xi expressed surprise and asked on a whim, "Do you know how to count?" ”

"Fourth brother, where do I know this, counting is because the pole asks us to hand over the things we get every day, I learned from the old beggar."

"Then I'll teach you arithmetic, maybe you can be a bookkeeper in the future."

"Fourth brother, can I, do you really want to teach me? I don't want to call you Fourth Brother anymore, I want to call you Dad! ”

Sixi: ......

Teaching arithmetic is not in a hurry, but I want to ask about Brother Xiao Lai, Wen Yuan picked up the important ones and told her, Si Xi was shocked to realize that although the beggar that the owner met bullied her, at least there is still human nature, and their pole head is a dehumanization of humanity, the beggar named Brother Xiao Lai was taken back, brightly dressed and in good health by his parents and elders at home, but this also became the beginning of his disaster, that group of beggars obviously have the heart of hatred for the rich and revenge on the society, when Brother Xiao Lai came, They used to hurt him in exchange for sympathy, and when they found that the people who saw him would give him more money to heal his wounds, the beggars became more and more excessive. At first, they just cut his back with a knife, and when there were fewer people watching, they cut his front chest, and in the end, as long as there were fewer onlookers, they would shout to change places to hurt, scratch his face, and cut his tongue.

Si Xi was already clenching his fists and heartache just by listening to what methods the beggars used, not to mention the pain experienced by the person concerned, otherwise because of too much injury, he would almost hold on, and he didn't know what else he would be tortured into.

"Fourth brother, in fact, Brother Xiao Lai helped me escape, he hadn't been cut off his tongue at that time, he heard them say that they wanted to use me to perform on the pole head of Linxian County, and to untie the joints of my whole body to win sympathy, Brother Xiao Lai told me to run, even if I starved to death, don't worship the pole head anymore. I didn't expect Brother Lai to become like this. ”

Sixi has always known that beggars belong to the lower nine streams among the three religions and nine streams, but this kind of blatant harm in exchange for money once again refreshed her perception of beggars. Originally, the desire was to make the beggars who bullied him submit by force, and then unify the beggar gang, but now in this situation, the feasibility of letting her unify the kind of guy who destroys humanity is very low, and the government has never come forward in this way, and I don't know how many such children have been tortured in other places. This task seems simple, but in fact, it is necessary to connect with the entire beggar world, this is the rhythm to be completed, and you have to practice the martial arts of the previous world.

Just do it, and beckon Wen Yuan over, "Come, exercise with me, and only then can we protect the people we want to protect in the future." So the two of them started the first day of practice by squatting on the horse. I don't know if it's because Brother Lai's encounter had too much impact on Wen Yuan, he practiced extremely seriously and hard.

After Brother Xiao Lai woke up, he drank some gruel on the tiles, Si Xi asked him not to move after all, after all, he took good medicine, and then briefly said that because everyone's system is too poor, he must pay attention to exercise in the future, starting from running around Yizhuang and the grove every morning, Wen Yuan has no objection, but Brother Xiao Lai's face turned white, Si Xi paused and said that he would start again after he was injured.

On the second day, when he came back from running with Wen Yuan, Xiao Lai had already cooked the porridge and steamed buns thoroughly, in fact, such a day was already very good, but Si Xi was more vigilant in his heart, and kept reminding himself to be prepared for danger in times of peace. Sixi still dressed up for a short time, Wen Yuan and Xiao Lai Ge were still beggars, and they acted separately after entering the city, but now they only dared to go to Nanji City, Si Xi asked them to keep a low profile, and by the way, pay attention to what happened around them, Wen Yuan knew how to pull Xiao Lai Ge who was still confused and left.

Si Xi went to the pharmacy to buy some medicine for trauma, anti-inflammatory and nourishing, as well as a jar of pounding medicine, and went to buy a black coarse cloth. She wanted to find the head catcher Jiang Yezhi to be her backer, but unfortunately people didn't give her this opportunity, and when there was a potential danger, it was estimated that she still felt that the government yamen was reliable.

When she was about to arrive at the yamen, this feeling of being followed disappeared, but she still stubbornly walked around the yamen for a while, and the official at the door looked at her several times, for fear that there would be a drum beating and grievances, and the case of the Qian family had only calmed down before, and she didn't want another one.

It was almost noon when Si Xi came out of the small alley and went straight back. When Wen Yuan and Brother Xiao Lai came back, it was afternoon, and Si Xi, who had been hungry for almost a day, stretched out his hand directly when he saw them coming back, "Hungry, bring it." Wen Yuan hurriedly handed over a steamed bun, and said at the same time: "There are a lot of good people today, give a few more steamed buns, and half a bowl of rice, I will cook it in a while." Si Xi nodded, and pointed at Brother Xiao Lai like an uncle, "You come to make medicine, my hands are sore." ”

Brother Xiao Lai silently took the medicine pestle and pounded the medicine, Si Xi looked at him and said, "I've been hearing Wen Yuan call you Brother Xiao Lai, are you surnamed Lai?" He shook his head, thought about it again, took a small wooden stick and drew the word "Zhong Qi" on the ground, and pointed at himself again.

"Your name is Zhong Qi? Are you going back? ”

Zhong Qi nodded, wrote "no" again, thought about it and added the words "thrown to the beggar by the little lady", hey, this is another sad story, Si Xi looked at him, looked at the words on the ground, and patted him on the shoulder with the hand that didn't hold the steamed bun: "It's okay, Zhong Qi, we will be a family in the future, we will definitely live well, and we can help you if you want to take revenge when the time comes." Zhong Qi lowered his head, and when he looked up again, his eyes were already teary, and he nodded heavily.
