The leading homeless man with the torch was very strong, and he seemed to have seen it at the farmer's market just now.

In addition to him, there were seven or eight homeless people of about the same size, who surrounded me and Brother Chao in the middle.

Brother Chao and I raised our hands in a surrender gesture and stood up slowly and obediently.

"Hey, you're a homeless person, is it necessary to be so vigilant?" I asked, a little puzzled.

Holding the torch, the homeless man changed his dialect to Mandarin with a slightly strange accent with a blank face, and asked me, "So, you admit that you two are coming at us, right?" Brothers, prepare! ”

As soon as he gave the order, all the homeless people assumed attack positions, and a few of them were holding improvised cold weapons such as rusty daggers and pointed steel bars.

This scene really calmed me, are the homeless people so fierce now? Is it really the legendary 'Beggar Gang'?

Brother Chao hurriedly explained: "Big brother misunderstood! We're not here for you! We're here to find someone! ”

The homeless man asked, "Oh? Who to look for? ”

I was about to say, 'We're looking for a homeless man,' but suddenly I felt as if I couldn't say that, but I didn't know how to deal with the scene for a while, so I turned my head to look at Brother Chao and waited for him to answer.

Brother Chao slowed down and said, "Big brother, don't be nervous, we are not bad people..."

A circle of homeless people did not react.

Brother Chao continued: "We are indeed here to find someone, I... My brother was in a car accident before, and it is said that one of your colleagues was near the scene at the time, and he saw the hit-and-run car, and we just heard that it was you... Your staff dormitory, I want to come here to find that person, I want him to testify to my brother, really, that's it. ”

The homeless man looked left and right at his own people, and then asked in tongues, "Whose business is he talking about?" Who knows about this? All the homeless people shook their heads, and some even said "no".

The leading homeless man immediately said to me and Brother Chao again: "You two lied! Brothers, call me! ”

Seeing that they were really going to do it, I hurriedly shouted at the top of my voice, "That homeless man is not with you!" He came here from the city some time ago! It's possible to be delirious now! We're telling the truth! ”

"Wait!" The homeless man who took the lead stopped his little friend, and I couldn't help but secretly rejoice, it seems that this rush is really good, and judging by his reaction, there is a chance that the homeless man we are looking for is here with him.

So I didn't wait for him to ask, and then said: "We also inquired all the way to find here, really, we just want to find the homeless man again, and let him help us testify in court to identify the driver who caused the accident, that's all, really!" We have no ill will towards you! ”

The homeless man in the lead tilted his neck and looked at me for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Then what is the name of the person you are looking for?" ”

"Huh?"

I turned my head to look at Brother Chao, who also looked at me with a confused expression, and then motioned with his chin for me to answer.

I looked at the homeless man who took the lead, gritted my teeth and said: "Big brother, you can't kill a soldier, if you want to say that, you should do it directly, he himself may not know what his name is, I need to know what his name is and my surname is yours." ”

"That's good." The homeless man who took the lead nodded and said these two words, I glanced at Brother Chao slightly apologetically, Brother Chao sighed, put on a defensive posture with me, and was ready to fight at any time.

Unexpectedly, the homeless man who took the lead changed his words and said, "Then you two come with me to confess." ”

Huh? I was stunned, but the homeless man who led the lead didn't wait for the two of us, turned around with a torch and walked towards the ruined temple.

Suddenly, someone pushed me from behind, and I staggered, and when I looked back, I saw that it was a homeless man with dirty pigtails.

When he saw me looking at him, he said, "What do you see?" Why did the boss make you two stunned in the past? ”

"Oh... Okay, big brother has a real hip-hop temperament. "I came back to my senses and hurriedly trotted in the direction of the 'boss' with Brother Chao.

On the way, I took the time to whisper to Brother Chao, "You said they couldn't have an ambush in the temple, right?" Brother Chao said very resolutely: "Impossible, we were already at an absolute disadvantage just now, if we really want to clean up the two of us, why bother with this effort?" ”

I thought about it for a while, and asked a little proudly: "Hey, you said that with my wit just now, if I scored ten out of ten, how many points can I score?" Brother Chao said without thinking about it: "Give you 100 points, I'm not afraid of your pride." ”

While relieving the tension with bickering, the two of us followed the leader into the ruined temple.

Entering the temple, the boss stretched out the torch to a bonfire that had been extinguished, and the bonfire instantly rekindled.

By the light of the fire, I found that there were actually a lot of homeless people in this room, more than we could see outside just now, but most of them were hiding in the corners of the room, wrapped in very dirty blankets and mattresses, all sitting on the ground, none of them slept, all of them were looking at me and Brother Chao with their eyes open.

Some of them looked young, or they looked like women, and there was a hint of horror in their eyes.

"I saw the two of you in the vegetable market, and at first glance you are a layman, and you don't know how to hide yourself."

The boss suddenly said a word, breaking the whereabouts of me and Brother Chao today, I was a little embarrassed and a little curious at the same time asked: "Big brother, now I want to enter your business... Do you want to do military training first? ”

The boss was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly and said, "We don't need military training, we live like this every day, and we have practiced." Brother Chao asked, "How often do people bully you?" ”

This time, the boss didn't answer, but pointed to a room of homeless people and changed the conversation and said: "Come, just give you two a chance, some time ago there was indeed a homeless man like you said, my brother saw that he was not in a good situation, so he brought him back from the river, if you two can say which one is right, I believe that you didn't lie to me just now, otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind." ”

After he said this, the homeless men who had put away their weapons just now took out their weapons again, and each moved a few steps slightly, faintly surrounding me and Brother Chao in the middle.

Seeing this, Brother Chao and I didn't talk much nonsense, and walked towards the corner together, starting from the end of the line to check on the homeless people one by one.

These homeless people are not the same as the last time I saw them in the ruins of the community, of course, there is no difference in dressing style or anything, the biggest difference is the way they look.

The eyes of the two homeless men last time, either sluggish or cunning, have very distinct personal characteristics, which intuitively express their inner style.

This is not the case with the homeless people here, there is basically only one emotion in their eyes, that is, panic, the kind of panic that is quite helpless.
