Xue Dan left firmly.

Looking at his back, in the direction of Qingshan Town, Yin Ping also started his journey. Actually, to be exact, it's called wandering.

Because in every way, Yin Ping is not a person who is good at life. When he was in the Nameless Temple, he was cheating and slippery, and he never touched the flint. When he was in the woods, it was Xue Dan who lit the fire. And when the relationship was transformed, everyone saw that Xue Dan had a hint of an old monk's feeling, and he was never stingy.

In the month that they followed Xue Dan down the mountain, the two of them had never been hungry.

However, as soon as Xue Dan left, the gap began to manifest itself in a brutal way.

A few days before walking alone, because Yin Ping's hair was not particularly long, and he was wearing a dirty monk's robe, most people still treated him as a little monk.

No matter how young he is, the monk is always opposite to the Bodhisattva.

As the protagonist of the temple, the messenger of the Bodhisattva, the attitude of the people towards the monks can be called tolerant. Therefore, in the past few days, although it is still a day of eating and sleeping, everywhere I go, I have hardly suffered from white eyes, and the relationship is also very smooth.

Sometimes, some people will give Yin Ping some silver money and ask him to help him light lotus lanterns in the temple.

In the past few days, Yin Ping will no longer refuse the silver money obtained by Huayuan. After getting the money, he would no longer continue to make a fortune, but would choose to go to the restaurant and order a bowl of somen noodles, or buy a few cakes to satisfy his hunger.

When the money is spent, this will continue to make ends meet.

In this way, Yin Ping walked and turned into a relationship, and slept in the open, and when he reached half the distance from Qingshan Town, his hair gradually became longer.

If it weren't for the monk's robe, no one would have regarded him as a little monk. More often than not, people will look at him with suspicion, and even think that he is just a little beggar from somewhere.

As for the monk's robe on his body, he naturally didn't know where he found it.

The consequences of this change in identity are enormous.

Gradually, no matter how much he clasped his hands together and recited the words, fewer and fewer people gave him food. And the money, naturally, no one is willing to give it anymore.

It was only at this moment that he sadly discovered that the identity of the monk he wanted to abandon so much was actually the one he was able to live to the present.

And Xue Dan, who is in the Big Buddha Temple at this moment, doesn't have to think about it, he must be living well as a monk. At this moment, he was halfway to Qingshan County, but because of the loss of his status as a monk, he was destitute and poor, and no one cared about him.

Yin Ping began to think for the first time, putting aside the identity of the little monk of the Nameless Temple, except for knowing that his surname was Yin, except that he knew that he was abducted by Hanako since he was a child, and he didn't know anything about the rest.

Whether it's for the world or for your own biological parents.

For the first time, he felt what it meant to be lost and helpless.

Do you want to follow Xue Dan's example and enter the temple again? The way to the Big Buddha Temple, he asked Xue Dan for him.

After thinking about it, Yin Ping decided to continue wandering.

Now that he has decided, no matter how hard it is, he will continue to move forward, even as a beggar.

So, in the following days, Yin Ping was dirty, and it was a luxury to be able to eat enough. He wandered around the beggars all day long, from his timidity at first, to the end when he followed them and flocked to the rich as he went, begging for a bite to eat.

He has completely turned into a beggar.

To say that these beggars are really powerful, the long-term begging life has trained them to have a pair of sharp eyes, know how to distinguish which people are overflowing with love, soft grinding and hard bubbles will definitely be rewarded. I also know which people are rich and unkind, and entanglement will only be beaten, so we must stay away.

Not only that, but they also gathered a lot of information.

Even, when begging, they also divided the area, unless the situation is special, they will not easily encroach on other people's territory.

Although Yin Ping is no different from these beggars, he has a skill that these beggars do not have.

Yin Ping literacy.

On this day, as everyone came to the outskirts of Qingshan County to beg, Yin Ping was resting against a pillar, and unexpectedly saw a notice on the pillar. Speaking of which, this is the first time Yin Ping has seen such a notice. In the past, he read all Buddhist scriptures.

After reading it roughly, I was silent in my heart a few times, and Yin Ping knew in his heart that it was another case of a child being abducted by Hanako.

When I think of my life experience again, I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

Seeing Yin Ping like this, the little beggar next to him thought that he was pretending to be sad, and sneered with disdain on his face: "Don't tell me, you can still understand this notice." ”

Unexpectedly, Yin Ping replied naturally: "What's strange about this, I can understand it." ”

Hearing this, the little beggars around them all began to laugh, and some of them who were not used to seeing Yin Ping even laughed directly: "Do you understand?" Okay, tell me what this is talking about. Don't tell everyone, it's saying that we can go somewhere and get food and meat. ”

After saying that, everyone laughed.

Hearing this, Yin Ping was not annoyed, but walked to the notice from the strange, pointed to it and said loudly.

"This notice is about a three-year-old baby who was abducted by Huazi in Qingshan County, and his parents are now urgently looking for him. If you can help find the child, you will be rewarded with five taels of silver. By the way, the baby's left arm near the wrist has a black birthmark the size of a copper coin. ”

Hearing this, everyone fell silent. Yin Ping is like this, it doesn't look like a lie.

It's just that Yin Ping just objectively repeated the content of the notice, but he didn't expect that the little beggar next to him was already full of tears after listening to it.

I saw him clench his little fists and say hatefully: "I was abducted by Hanako, but fortunately I was clever and escaped halfway." Only, I couldn't find my way home. Brother Yin Ping, why don't we join forces and help this little kid, okay? ”

Yin Ping heard that this was a good idea.

They are numerous, and they are all over the city. If every beggar could pay attention to everyone around him, there would be great power in numbers, and maybe he would be able to discover something.

Even if nothing is found in the end, there is nothing to lose, everyone has to beg.

Moreover, putting aside the fact that he himself was abducted, he has always been in the temple, and he is kind in nature and cannot see people suffering. Although he is no longer a monk, it does not prevent him from doing good deeds.

After thinking about it, Yin Ping nodded and said, "What you said is very right, there are many of us, and we have them everywhere, maybe we can really help." Otherwise, let's split up and tell people in all corners so that everyone can pass on the news to each other. ”

When the little beggar saw that Yin Ping supported his idea, he was immediately excited, and instantly trotted up and told several beggars he was familiar with about this idea.

Some of these beggars are in their forties, and some are as old as the little beggars, but they are only eight or nine years old. For a time, word of mouth spread.

However, in just two days, the entire Qingshan County was spread.

I have to say that this is a major event in the entire beggar community in Qingshan County.

For so many years, everyone has just divided their territories, begging separately, and not interfering with each other. And today, a kidnapping incident that happened in front of everyone's eyes united them.

What about beggars? What about the power so meager that it is almost invisible? What about living at the bottom?

In their bones, they are still human beings and still have a kind heart. As long as conditions permit, they will also choose to help others unconditionally.

So, in the past few days, the people of Qingshan County have collectively discovered a novelty, that is, the beggars in the entire county seem to be looking for something. While begging, they also ask for some so-called clues.

Some impudent beggars, when they meet children, do not explain, and even look at the children's wrists.

I don't understand why they did it, but it's certain that they're collectively looking for something.

The husband and wife who lost their baby, the woman's surname is Lin, and she is called Lin Niangzi. The man's surname is Wang, and his name is Wang Dayi. The couple runs a grocery store in Qingshan County.

Although they don't make much money, they have income almost every day, and they have children who have enough to do, and the couple are quite happy.

Five days ago, Lin Niangzi went to the street to buy fritters, because her son Wang Hu was clamoring to eat. Wang Dayi held his son and watched the store at home. As a result, a customer came and asked about the prices of various products one by one, and finally bought a pot and left.

When Wang Dayi received the money, he found that his son was gone.

Lin took the fritters and saw that her husband had lost his soul, so he asked why. As soon as he heard that his son was gone, Lin was so frightened that he suddenly felt that his heart was like a fritter falling to the ground, and he was fried in the oil pot.

The two of them searched for a few days, but after all, there was no result. In the end, with the help of a teenager who sold potted plants, he wrote thousands of missing person notices, which were sent to every person and posted at the restaurant inn.

It's a pity that five days have passed, and Wang Hu seems to have evaporated from the world, and he can't be found at all. The couple began to despair, maybe Hanako had taken Wang Hu out of Qingshan County.

According to the young man, with this notice, this flower child would not dare to take the child to swagger through the market easily. However, since he couldn't find it in the county, where did he take Wang Hu to?

Kang Bran has been worried about it for the past few days.

Previously, he was able to stay at the guest house with his children. But I don't know why, the wind in the city has suddenly tightened up these days. The child's biological parents didn't know who they had listened to, so they posted notices downstairs in the major inns and carefully described the child's characteristics.

I don't know if it's because of his heart, he always feels that someone is staring at him from time to time these days.

After thinking about it, if you continue to live in the inn, you may be recognized one day. Although he had already dressed up the child, the black birthmark the size of a copper coin on his wrist could not be removed for the time being.

Therefore, after thinking about it, that night, he took the child out of the inn overnight, preparing to rent a house in a remote and inconspicuous street. When the wind has passed, he is not so nervous, and it is not too late for him to take the child out of the city.

"What are you afraid of, anyway, I have succeeded in the first few times, and I should be able to succeed this time." Kang Yan comforted himself like this in his heart. Moreover, as soon as the boy changed hands, twenty taels of silver would be in his hands.

When the time comes, it will be worth the extra fear.

Fortunately, Xu was intimidated, this child was extremely obedient, never cried, should eat, drink, sleep, and called him uncle.

It's just that what he doesn't know is that the situation has changed.

Let's not talk about this child's cleverness, but he deliberately didn't speak to cooperate with him. Beggars across the county are now conducting a carpet-like search in the city. The reason why it has not been found for the time being is because Kang Yan had been living in a high-class inn before, while the beggars focused on searching the general shops and all corners of the street.

This time, the beggar, whom he had always looked down on, was going to work a miracle after all.

It is said that this Kang Bran is extremely lucky, although he is a habitual offender, he has committed many crimes, but he has not been caught once. Over the years, he has committed no less than five crimes, specifically targeting children under the age of five.

As for the method, they mostly use candy, meat, gadgets, etc. as bait, and take advantage of the fact that their biological parents are not paying attention, trick the child into a remote place, cover his mouth and hold it and run away.

Most of the children he abducted were young, and most of them were not sensible, and they couldn't remember who they were or where they lived. As soon as he sold it, he sold the child into a family that did not have children, and he was able to get a sum of money.

In order to prevent the child's biological parents from coming to the door, the other party will often move out of the original residence, and there are not a few who remain incognito.

Therefore, once a baby is lost, there is little chance of recovery. Unless the baby is smart enough to run away halfway, or when he grows up in his foster home, he is looking for a home from his own memory.

Otherwise, goodbye can only be a fantasy.

After searching for most of the night, Kang Yan finally found a place to live for a month. Because of the remoteness, the landlord only asked for 300 yuan. Kang Yan pretended to be in pain, but he happily paid the money and took the key handed by the landlord.

As long as you can stay, a month is enough.

He knew in his heart that the people in this city were very forgetful, and no matter how new a thing was, no matter how hard it was, and if it couldn't be talked about for a few days, no one would pay attention to it.

What people care about, what they care about the most, is always themselves.

The landlord saw that Kang Bran was carrying a child, which was originally a little strange. But I heard Wang Hu call him uncle, so he didn't care. This child doesn't cry or make trouble, and he is very dependent on Kang Bran, and at first glance he is a pro-uncle.

He had seen the notice too, but the two of them looked like relatives, so they didn't bother with it. Anyway, the rent is in hand, and that's the most important thing.

Since renting a house, this Kang Bran has taken Wang Hu at home during the day, never going out, and only going out to buy some food at night.

Wang Hu has never gone out and has been locked up at home by him.

In this way, Kang Yan spent ten days in fear but without danger. Seeing that nothing happened, he gradually relaxed his vigilance. In another twenty days or so, he will be able to leave the city with the child.

It's just that what he didn't see was that Wang Hu's eyes were shining in the night. In fact, he is just short, so he is not three years old, but his actual age is six years old.

Just last month, he went to a private school and started studying.

Such a child will naturally not be the kind of nerd who pees and plays with mud in the village. If Kang Hu hadn't put sweat medicine on the handkerchief covering Wang Hu's mouth, he would have fainted at that time, Wang Hu would never have been abducted by Kang Hu so easily.

Last night, Wang Hu proposed to sit at the door to breathe, Kang Yan thought about it, and in view of Wang Hu's well-behaved and obedient during this time, he agreed.

It's just that he himself is also guarding on the side.

In Kang Yan's view, a three-year-old child can't make any waves. Even if someone finds out that he is arresting the child, he can easily explain that it is because the child is disobedient and is just teaching the child.

He has done this kind of thing a lot, and he has always turned the danger into a disaster, and he has never missed.

People are like this, in some dangerous situations, they always blindly believe in their past experience. I think that since I was fine before, I will definitely be fine now.

But who knows that most of those who drown in the water will be able to drain the water.

The reason why Wang Hu offered to sit at the door was only because he wanted to convey a message to people passing by. In the past few days, after Kang Yan fell asleep, he secretly looked out the window, and from time to time there were little beggars passing by, and looking around, it didn't seem like he wanted to steal.

After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Hu wanted to pass on the news through these little beggars.

Moreover, it was already dark, and the house was already remote, and no one would pass by except the beggars. During the day, Kang Yan was particularly cautious and kept an eye on him at all times.

He asked for help only at night, and only from these beggars.

Recently, Kang Bran has been staying every inch during the day and waking up at night as soon as there is movement. As a result, I feel sleepy at night. At this moment, sitting by the door, the evening breeze was blowing, and Kang Bran dozed off.

Wang Hu knew in his heart that if he ran away, he would not be able to outrun Kang Bran at all, but he would be arrested in the blink of an eye. In this way, it will startle the snake, and the hard work and forbearance of these days will be wasted.

Therefore, when he saw a beggar passing by, he repeatedly said the words "save me" silently. It's a pity that after these days of searching, some beggars have given up. I haven't given up looking, and I'm no longer as passionate as I was at the beginning.

After all, begging for food and money was their primary goal, and as for finding Wang Hu, it was just a side task.

One night, more than a dozen beggars passed by in a row, but only one stopped to look at Wang Hu. Seeing Wang Hu talking with his mouth open, he didn't make a sound, and he didn't care.

And Kang Bran is dozing off, not like Hanako at all. So he ignored it and left directly.

Wang Hu was a little anxious, he knew in his heart that if he didn't save himself, it was estimated that Kang Yan would take him out of Qingshan Town. Once he leaves, it will be difficult for him to go home. After thinking about it, I suddenly thought of my birthmark.

So, when he saw a few more little beggars passing by together, Wang Hu excitedly and carefully lifted his sleeves, raised his arms too high, deliberately exposed his birthmark, and continued to say silently, "Help me".

Wang Hu's efforts were not in vain.

Among these little beggars is the little beggar who proposed to Yin Ping to rescue him before, because he is thin, the beggars call him a monkey.

The monkey saw Wang Hu's birthmark and confirmed Wang Hu's mouth shape several times, and then excitedly pulled a few stunned friends and ran away.

Before leaving, he also followed Wang Hu's example and said two words to Wang Hu in silent language, rest assured.

When Wang Hu saw the monkey like this, he understood that he knew his intentions. I was thrilled for a while. After thinking about it, he pushed the napping Kang Bran, saying that he was going to go into the house and go to bed.

Kang Yan naturally agreed and took Wang Hu to bed.

What he didn't know was that it was his last night on earth.

Tomorrow, Wang Hu will be rescued by everyone. And he, after all, will pay the due price for his sins.

With this exciting news, the monkey trotted all the way to find Yinping, who was searching near Jumbo Zhai.

Yin Ping is not too old or young, but he is better at literacy and has certain organizational skills, so he has gathered dozens of little beggars to listen to his dispatch.

Seeing the monkey running out of breath, followed by a few little beggars, he asked with concern, "Monkey, what are you running?" Did you find something? ”

"We ...... We found the kid, in the alley across the stinky bridge. The monkey gasped.

The stinky bridge is actually a small bridge, but because it has become a place for nearby residents to dump night pots, and no one cares about it, it emits a foul smell all year round, which is why everyone affectionately calls it a stinky bridge.

After thinking about it, Yin Ping said: "Monkey, you and I will go with you and tell Uncle Wang, you guys, hurry up and gather all the brothers, gather, and we will follow Uncle Wang after a while and go over together." ”

After saying that, a few little beggars hurriedly went to report the news excitedly. Yin Ping and the monkey hurried towards Wang Dayi's grocery store.

At night, it was pitch black, and the two walked in a hurry, and almost fell down several times. Fortunately, the Wang family's grocery store was not far away, and the two trotted all the way again, and finally knocked on the door of the shop half an hour later.

Wang Dayi and the others hadn't slept at all, and they were anxiously discussing countermeasures there. When he heard someone knocking on the door, he quickly got up and opened the door.

Seeing Yin Ping and the monkey standing outside the door, before he could speak, Yin Ping hurriedly said, "Come with us, your son has been found." Now the person is in the stinky bridge, locked in the house by Hanako. ”

When Lin heard this, he immediately stood up, but his legs were a little weak due to being too excited, and he fell down as soon as he stood up. However, Lin did not give up, stood up again with the stool, and ran out with Yin Ping and the monkey.

What they didn't see was that after Wang Dayi copied a flat pole in his hand, he followed.

Since going to bed, Wang Hu has not slept. He was waiting for someone to come and save him. To be sure, the beggar understood what he meant.

That is, you just have to wait. If nothing else, someone will come and rescue him tonight.

Habitually, Kang Yan put his hand around Wang Hu's waist. As soon as he moved, Kang Yan would wake up alert and ask him what he wanted to do.

This most intimate posture that only parents can have with their children makes Wang Hu feel extremely disgusting. If he could, he would have wanted to cut off these sinful hands. If it weren't for him, he would still be sleeping beautifully in his mother's arms.

If it weren't for him, he wouldn't know how many new words he would have learned in the private school.

After reporting and summoning, for a while, hundreds of beggars in Qingshan County gathered together for a while. Among them, some of them were forced to come out to beg after their parents died, some were abducted and sold by Hanako and became seriously ill and were disliked by buyers and thrown away, and some were abused by buyers and ran away because they couldn't stand it anymore.

For their parents, whether they are alive or not, they only have one feeling, one kind of same feeling, and that is missing.

Now, they are happy to be able to help that child find their biological parents, as if they have found their own parents.

As Yin Ping said to them, who said that beggars can only beg? They are all human beings, living people.

No one wants to be a beggar if they are not forced by life.

However, even if they are now unfortunate enough to become beggars, their hearts are still beating and they can still help those in need.
