Chapter 468: Redemption
The initiation ceremony of the beggars is very simple......
In the ruined temple in the north of Suzhou, presided over by the master Xu Helm himself, the Suzhou rudder did four or five or six bags of disciples to witness and offer incense to the ancestor Fan Dan, without kneeling down to listen to the high-level chanting of the rudder, and then receiving a small sack The ceremony was all over.
There was no disgusting spitting, no other strange rules, and from then on the beggars in the world were one family.
Lin Sha is actually very familiar with this set, when he was in Xiangyang in the last life, the most contact with the Jianghu sect was the beggar gang, and he knew the way of the beggar gang very well, otherwise he would not agree to join in so easily.
Of course, joining the beggar gang does not mean that he can enjoy any special treatment, what kind of life is still after what kind of life, but when it comes to fighting in the rivers and lakes or being bullied, he can take out the name of the beggar gang as a talisman, but these Lin Sha are not used at all.
Since he boasted about Haikou before, he said to Lord Xu Helm that he didn't want to be too constrained, and he would pay enough price as compensation for joining the beggar gang, the old beggar Zhou Mazi patted his chest to vouch for this, and he always worked vigorously and resolutely After saying goodbye to Lord Xu Helm, he got busy.
"I said Zhou Mazi, joining the beggar gang is such a thing, you don't say hello to me in advance?"
On the way out of the city, Lin Sha waved his hand, took out all the copper plates on hand, bought hundreds of big steamed buns, and distributed them to the ten little beggars who followed him, and then grabbed the old beggar Zhou Mazi and said angrily: "Forget it this time, don't take it as an example, otherwise your friends won't have to do it!" ”
"Definitely ......"
Zhou Mazi nodded again and again, seeing that Lin Sha didn't pursue his 'cut first and then play', he suddenly shouted at the little beggar behind him with a lively spirit: "What can you guys do so quickly." I'll save a few for the old beggars! ”
As he spoke, he opened his old mouth and rushed into a group of little beggars. It's uncomfortable to laugh and play with a bunch of gobbling beggars.
Back to the ruined temple outside the city, I just bought hundreds of big steamed buns. had already entered the mouths of the ten little beggars, and the old beggar Zhou Mazi also grabbed a few to fill his stomach.
Lin Sha was not polite at all, don't look at the group of twelve or thirteen-year-old beggars like him, most of them are beggars with a bag of disciples, and there are two bags of disciples, but he is not polite at all.
As the saying goes, the ten little beggars who came with them did not have the slightest disgust, and honestly spent the entire noon according to Lin Sha's instructions, cleaning up the dilapidated temple that did not occupy a large area inside and out.
and then including the old beggar Zhou Mazi. The eleven beggars were all driven into the small river not far from the ruined temple by him, and they were carefully cleaned up and down, and Lin Sha personally supervised those who did not clean up, or who still had a peculiar smell on their bodies, wanted to go ashore.
After the eleven beggars, young and old, had cleaned up their personal hygiene, he led them to the outskirts of the nearby forest, set up a trap and beat them with sticks to startle the small beasts and birds in the forest, and easily hit five pheasants with bright tail feathers, and three hares that threw themselves into the net.
Lin Sha also picked some herbs that could be substituted for ingredients, and the group returned to the broken temple under the slanted warm spring sun.
"Haha. Or little brother Linsha, you have the ability, you have a good mouth tonight! ”
The old beggar Zhou Mazi was carrying a pheasant, sitting in the main hall of the cleaned and tidy dilapidated temple with a red face, laughing and being very happy.
"What's the mouth?"
Lin Sha rolled his eyes angrily. The little beggar who commanded to follow would bring the weeds and roll them into straw ropes, and then tie up all the pheasants and hares to tie them strongly, so that they could pay attention to Zhou Mazi.
Not to mention. The old beggar Zhou Mazi cleaned up the critic's personal hygiene and took care of his appearance. It's really a makeover.
An old face is square, and the face is ruddy and wrinkled. Coupled with the rough practice of martial arts, he has his own masculinity, and his beard is all tidied up, and he looks more than ten years younger than before.
It's just that this guy is used to being lazy, sitting on the ground with a crooked ass, ruining all his temperament, making people look like a scoundrel at first glance.
"Hey, little brother Linsha, aren't we going to eat chicken and rabbit tonight?"
The old beggar twisted his ass on the ground, and pointed to the wild creatures that were still tossing and screaming in his bindings.
", these wild creatures naturally have to be exchanged for money to buy rice and flour grains, if we eat them ourselves, how many meals can we eat?" With a wave of his hand, Lin Sha looked unlucky.
"I see, hehe, I thought it was ......"
The old beggar Zhou Mazi was embarrassed, rubbed his hands and looked embarrassed.
"Stop dreaming!"
Lin Sha pursed his lips and looked angry, turned around and ordered the little beggars who were sitting on the ground: "All up, all up, let's go into the city to sell game while the hour is still early!" ”
……
"You have to see clearly the shopkeeper, these are all good big golden chickens, and these are also big fat rabbits......"
At the back door of the Jinxiu Restaurant in Dongcheng, Suzhou, Lin Sha talked nonsense with a serious face.
"If you get a little brother, we won't grind our mouths, the price is 20 copper plates for a golden chicken, and 25 copper plates for a big fat rabbit......"
The middle-aged shopkeeper was dizzy, waved his hand and said directly.
"Deal!"
Lin Sha settled down with a smile, and while settling with the restaurant partner, he also pulled the shopkeeper and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper, if there are such good goods in the future......
"The price is the same, the splendid building is all inclusive!"
The shopkeeper waved his hand very boldly, unceremoniously interrupted Lin Sha's words, and then without waiting for Lin Sha to react next, he rushed back to the restaurant like a frightened rabbit.
"Let's go, let's buy rice and flour grains!"
Checking the heavy money bag in his hand, Lin Sha smiled and led a group of little beggars straight to the rice shop in the north of the city.
……
In this way, Lin Sha and the old beggar Zhou Mazi, with ten young beggars, lived a comfortable life as a beggar disciple in a broken temple outside the city.
Every morning like a duck, the sleepy-eyed little beggar was driven to the open space outside the door, and Lin Sha took them to practice boxing together.
It's not a profound boxing technique, it's just the most common and widely spread Taizu Changquan in the Great Song Dynasty, although he deliberately added a little breathing and breathing kung fu into it, but it didn't attract attention at all.
After beating Taizu Changquan three times, he asked the little beggar to recite the three-character scripture twice, and after eating a sticky rice porridge, it was a busy day's work.
The mountains and forests, including the rivers, are all owned things, and it is okay to fight once or twice once or twice, but if it goes on like this for a long time, it will cause a lawsuit, and Lin Sha naturally doesn't want to make such a trivial matter cause the city to be full of wind and rain.
In the name of the beggar gang disciples, he said hello to the owners of the nearby mountains, forests and rivers, and obtained the right to hunt and fish once a month, and then Lin Sha took the old and young beggars into the mountains and forests full of treasures.
Collect medicine, concoct it, and send it to Tongxin Hall in the city to sell it for a good profit.
At the beginning, Lin Sha personally took it, and escorted the old and young beggars into the mountains and forests, while picking herbs while teaching the old and young beggars to recognize herbs, and after a long time, he did not need to personally lead the team, as long as it was not deep into the dangerous areas of the mountains and forests, the old and young beggars themselves could complete the work of picking herbs very well.
With stable and lucrative income, Lin Sha, Zhou Mazi, and the ten little beggars lived a much more nourishing life, which attracted the beggar disciples in the city who needed to be busy for their livelihood every day and were discriminated against.
Lin Sha is not a lone eater, since he has joined the beggar gang and obtained enough information resources, he naturally does not want to cause disputes within the Suzhou beggar gang because of himself.
Instead, he generously took out a sum of income and handed it over to the rudder, and said that he would pay a fixed fee every month, which calmed down the dissatisfaction within the rudder.
At the same time, because of Lin Sha's huge contribution, it was personally proposed by Lord Xu Helm in less than a month, and was unanimously recognized by the rudder, and he was directly promoted from a bag of disciples at the bottom to a bag of three bags of disciples.
The old beggar Zhou Mazi also profited, and was promoted from the original three bags of disciples to four bags of disciples who did not have many rudders, and as for the ten little beggars who worked with Lin Sha, they also became glorious beggars and two bags of disciples, which can be said to be very happy.
Not to mention that Lin Sha created a miracle that was not big or small, in less than a month, he was promoted from a bag of disciples to three bags of disciples in the beggar gang, and he had a certain influence in the rudder of Suzhou.
The amount of herbs picked and concocted every day is sufficient, in addition to the benefit fee for eating and drinking to be handed over to the rudder, Lin Sha has nearly a lot of funds on hand, so he plans to redeem the jade ring that the old beggar Zhou Mazi took to live that day.
……
Li Ji pawnshop in the south of Suzhou
"Man, man, we're here to ransom something!"
Before entering the door, the old beggar Zhou Mazi's loud voice shouted, instantly breaking the quiet and solemn atmosphere of the pawnshop.
"Yo, who has such a loud voice, it disturbs our little shop to be unable to do business!"
The guy behind the high counter didn't raise his head, and the yin and yang sneered.
"Hey, buddy, we're here to redeem something!"
Zhou Mazi and Lin Sha walked in side by side, walked to the high counter in three steps and two steps, and slapped the live pawn ticket on the wooden case.
"Don't don't, don't be, you're making a fuss, you don't know and think you're here to quarrel!"
The guy behind the counter looked unhappy, picked up the pawn ticket and muttered to the account book while checking it: "What the hell, don't come to the pawnshop if you have the ability......"
As he spoke, his voice gradually became smaller, his face slowly became ugly, and for some reason his forehead was covered with a layer of fine cold sweat, and his eyes were fixed on the ledger and he stopped humming.
"Now, this is the ransom money!"
The old beggar Zhou Mazi slapped the half-through copper coin on the wooden table on the counter with a snap, and shouted facelessly: "Hurry up and take out the things, we still have something to do later!" ”
"Wait, wait, I can't be the master, and I have to ask the shopkeeper to come forward in person!"
The guy behind the counter trembled suddenly when he heard this, and said in a dry voice...... (To be continued.) )
