Chapter Twenty-Three: Bitter Reminiscences
Song Lao Liu's mother thought for a while and said,
"People gave us money to raise the children, and they said they would come back to pick them up, if they sold them, what would they come to find in the future?"
"What are you looking for, you see that in the past seven years, has anyone come to take a look? The little rabbit cub we eat and drink deliciously waiting, raised white and fat, it can be regarded as worthy of the hundred taels of gold, he was born handsome, buy a small house can also have a good price, we took the silver and took the second child away, never come back, if they come to find it in the future, they can't find it! ”
Mrs. Song Liuniang thought of the beautiful child and felt a little unbearable, but after looking at the dying flesh and blood beside her, she finally gritted her teeth and nodded,
"It's up to you!"
The little beggar outside was already in tears at this time,
Originally...... It turns out that I was actually sent by someone, it turns out that ...... It turns out that I really didn't have my father's mother's own......
My father and mother are going to sell me to treat my brother...... The younger brother is ...... It's their child!
The little beggar was so sad that he couldn't stop sobbing even if he bit his lip, so he hurriedly raised his hand and stuffed it into his mouth and bit it hard, and soon there was a trace of blood in his mouth.
He quietly retreated to his house, and cried all night under the quilt.
Thinking of his younger brother Lahuang's little face, he finally bit the pillow and said secretly,
"Although I am not born to my father, I ...... But...... The younger brother is always pitiful...... If the family has no money to heal him, he will be buried in the earth, and I ...... I'm just with people, it's a big deal to be a subordinate, to be a horse boy, and to have a bite to eat can save my younger brother! ”
On the second day, sure enough, Song Lao Liu called someone to come and see, and the little beggar still remembered the fat woman, with a lot of flowers on her head, and her face was smeared with powder, white like a ghost, and when she saw the little beggar's eyes, her eyes immediately widened.
"Ouch! This child is really well-born, and my mother has read countless people in her life, so I have never seen such a handsome child......"
After thinking about it, he seemed to be a little unbelieving and asked,
"Song Lao Liu, do you really want to give this child to me?"
Song Lao Liu nodded and said,
"You just like it, the price is ......"
Rubbing her hands vigorously on her chest, the fat woman smiled and reached out to pinch the little beggar's pink face, and said,
"Look at this child's face, the old lady will add you thirty percent!"
Song Lao Liu's face immediately smiled folds, the fat woman beckoned the follower behind him and stepped forward to throw a money bag to him, the fat woman pulled the little beggar's hand and didn't let go, and smiled at him so much that the puff rope on his face fell down,
"Good boy, go with your mother, your mother will take you to a good place, let you eat and drink spicy food, and wear good clothes!"
"Daddy......"
The little beggar looked back at Song Lao Liu, but Song Lao Liu only cared about counting the silver in the money bag, and didn't even raise his head.
"Daddy......"
The little beggar screamed heartbreakingly, Song Lao Liu raised up and waved his hand,
"Go ahead! Go ahead! ”
Turned around and went in and slammed the door shut.
"Daddy......"
The little beggar was pulled by the fat woman, turned his head to look at the two tightly closed doors, and turned back as he walked, and shouted loudly,
"Daddy...... You're going to see your brother! ”
As he spoke, tears had wet the clothes on his chest, and the fat woman looked at his little appearance was really rare, and touched his face, and her fat and greasy hand swept across the skin, causing the little beggar to revolt for a while, and stubbornly turned his face aside,
"Phew......"
The little beggar glared at her with tears in her cheeks, and the fat woman sighed,
"Look...... Look...... This is pitiful, this has not grown yet, if the eyebrows and eyes are open, it will not hook people to death! ”
As he spoke, he happily pulled the little beggar into a carriage, but did not enter Yuzhou City, and took a car and boat all the way to Linzhou, the capital.
"Good boy, you are not born to be a thing in the pool, and you will have great wealth when you go to the capital with your mother!"
The fat woman took the little beggar through the crowded street and brought it to a fragrant building, in which came a man with grease powder on his face, and his eyes lit up immediately when he saw the appearance of the little beggar.
"Gou Erniang, where are you looking for something as good as a color? Is his father and mother willing to do it? You didn't steal it, you have to clean your hands and feet! ”
The fat woman smiled very proudly,
"The old lady is always doing things steadily, this is sent to the door by someone's father and mother, and she bought it for a hundred taels of silver!"
"One hundred taels! You've made a lot of money in this business! ”
The man sighed, reached out to touch the little beggar's face, he avoided it and only covered his mouth and chuckled, and led the fat woman and the little beggar inside, the little beggar raised his head and looked around at this rich and gorgeous house, many men in it were wearing luxurious clothes, their faces were smeared with white powder, and the smell on their bodies was so fragrant that they could choke people to death!
"Ah......h
The little beggar covered his nose and sneezed, which drew laughter from all along the way, and from time to time someone reached out to touch him, and he hurriedly pulled the hem of the fat woman's skirt and hid behind her broad body, and followed her to a room that could also smoke death.
The fat woman and the man took the hand and pressed the struggling little beggar into the barrel and washed it well, dressed him in fine clothes, and dried his hair in the smoker.
When the two of them looked at this child again, they really felt that he was like a fairy child in the sky, born with a straight nose, a small mouth red and gorgeous, a thin and tender face, fair and flawless but full of healthy ruddy.
Especially the pair of eyes are born well, they are born with peach blossom eyes, the eyelashes are long and dense, and they are slightly upturned at the corners of the eyes.
This face is born bewitching and charming, pure and delicate, suitable for hatred and joy, suitable for sorrow and joy, it is truly a natural joy guest, a fairy in the waves, and a good stunner who turns all beings upside down!
"Tut-tut......"
The man sighed,
"Good boy, this is still young, if he is trained and trained again, he can't say that this Huanxi Building will be his world in ten years!"
The fat woman couldn't laugh when she heard this,
"It's still the old lady who has this blessing, and when she meets the old man who sells children, she can find such a good person!"
The two of them discussed in front of the little beggar,
"Even if it is such a good talent, it can't be buried in the Huanxi Building, I heard that the sect master has been in Linzhou City recently, why don't you take it to his old family to take a look, can't this kid be blessed to take us to a liter?"
Both of them nodded yes, and they took the little beggar to another place that night.
The little beggar saw a man there, looking in his forties, his face was very handsome, but there was a trace of purple light between his eyes, and he couldn't say it.
Of course, the little beggar doesn't know that this is a sign of picking yin and supplementing yang to the extreme.
The child is the most sensitive to good and bad, and when he saw the man, his body trembled, and the fat woman and the glamorous man knelt on the ground early, with their heads close to the ground,
"Sect Master, this is a good material that my subordinates have worked hard to find with excellent qualifications outside......
The man got out of his seat and reached out to grab the little beggar's chin, his gaze lingered on his face for a few breaths, and then he reached out and touched the back of his neck, and nodded,
"It's a good qualification!"
The two kneeling down were all happy,
"Go down and get your reward!"
The two went down, leaving the little beggar alone with the evil man, and the man looked at the little beggar and asked,
"Would you like to be my apprentice here?"
The little beggar thought about him,
"Will you hit me? Do you have anything to eat? Do you have any clothes to wear? ”
The man laughed when he heard this,
"If you study hard, I won't beat you, and I will let you enjoy power, status, and ...... The best thing in this world! ”
The little beggar was no more than seven years old, and when he heard this, he just looked at him ignorantly, and the man smiled very kindly at him.
"You stay here first, and have fun!"
Then he let two very beautiful women take him down, and gave him a room to live in, and took a bath, changed into better clothes, and brought all kinds of delicacies.
The little beggar was scared!
It's just that he knew that his family had been taken away from home far, far away, and it was already difficult to go back, so he had to quietly swallow his tears and be silent at their mercy.
On the second day, the little beggar finally understood what the evil man meant about the bliss on earth.
In the spacious room, the smell of choking was everywhere, and he could see all the filthy things done by countless naked men and women, and there were several boys and girls the same size as him beside him, all of them with pale faces and frightened eyes, and they could not turn back, nor turn around, nor open the door and run out......
The little beggar stayed here for a month, seeing those disgusting things every day, and when he returned, someone carefully "taught" him, so that he could widen his eyes and study hard.
In the end, he couldn't swallow it, he couldn't get water, he was as thin as firewood, and he was angry like a gossamer, so he invited the doctor to come and see it, and shook his head and said,
"It's a heart disease, and it can't be treated!"
The man raised his hand and touched his face with pity.
"Throw him out of the way with this good face!"
The little beggar was thrown to the mass grave, and was picked up by the old beggar who was there to worship the deceased, and a little bit of water and spoonfuls of soup rescued him, and since then he has been living on the streets with the old beggar, begging for a living.
After his body was healed, he searched all over Linzhou City, and finally found the place where dirt and dirt were hidden.
At night, he went into the dog's hole, lit a fire in the kitchen, and escaped to see the smoke billowing from the house, and the fire was so bright that he left happily.
The old beggar died in the street in the summer of the following year, and his dead body soon attracted the officials who patrolled the city, and the little beggar saw that he was thrown into the corpse truck, followed him to the mass grave, and quietly dug a pit and buried him.
He worked as a beggar in Linzhou City for another year, and then he picked up the dead old ghost in the snow, but he didn't expect that because he saw the things in the horse's belly,
Originally...... But they haven't forgotten me?
Originally...... Are they coming to me?
The little beggar rolled over and turned his back to the sky, and two lines of hot tears slipped from the corners of his eyes......
