The third child is still holding the jade pendant, which exudes a faint luster in the firelight, which is very extraordinary.

The three old beggars touched it, and it exuded endless heat, but it was not hot to the hands, and it was warmer than the firelight.

"My God, what kind of jade is this, let the old man open my eyes!" The second child's cloudy eyes revealed a greedy gaze, staring closely at the jade pendant in the third child's hand. After a lifetime of poverty, in this terrible snow, how could he not be excited to meet this kind of treasure.

"I'm afraid it's not a mortal thing, hey! With this baby, we are in the vast snow, and we are afraid of a turtle!"

"Let's not be blessed, this baby can't stay, or hope that this God will be merciful, the weather will be better, hurry up to the town to make a move, exchange for some money and be more practical, this kind of treasure will stay on the body, sooner or later we will cause death." The old ambassador swallowed vigorously and pressed down the greed that had reached his throat. After so many years of crawling and rolling in the world, and desperately living to this age, I am more or less sensible, knowing what I can have and what I can't contaminate.

The other two beggars also regained some of their senses when they heard this, and the third child hurriedly put the jade pendant back in the swaddling clothes.

"Let's not touch this thing now, just let him keep it in this child, and when the weather is good, let's sell him together." The third man rubbed his hands, took down the snake meat on the shelf of the fire, took out half of the embroidered knife from his arms, and cut the snake meat hard, but the knife was blunt, and the old beggar took a lot of effort to cut off a piece, threw it to the boss in front, and then lowered his head and began to cut.

The eldest picked up the snake meat, regardless of whether it was cooked or not, opened his mouth and bit a piece, drooping his eyelids, staring at the knife in the third child's hand.

The three beggars are not brothers, but they used to beg and know each other, beggars are the easiest group to die, there are many companions on the road, and there is also a guarantee of survival, one to share some begging resources, and the other is to help each other, in case someone dies, take his things and collect a corpse for him by the way, so that he will not die outside.

But in the face of absolute interests, especially money and other things, it is not like torn clothes and shoes, leftovers, who cares about those, it is all to survive, and it is better for one person to take the real money than three people. This kid and jade are absolutely rich and noble.

Only the third of the three has a weapon, who will guarantee that he will not cross the river and tear down the bridge, stab himself and the second child, and go to make a fortune by himself,

Most of these people, when it comes to interests, have no choice but to be suspicious of each other and watch out for each other.

At this time, the third child cut off a piece of snake meat and handed it to the second child next to him, the second child took the snake meat and began to eat it, and the three of them were hard to find food in winter, even if the snake meat was roasted hard like tree bark, it was delicious in their mouths.

The boss picked up a bowl from behind him, trembled and walked to the door of the broken temple, lowered his body and dug up a bowl of snow, turned his head to see a few stones under the snow at the door, and secretly looked at the two people inside who were still eating the meat in their hands, while they were not paying attention, quietly picked it up, put it in his arms, and slowly walked back to the fire with the bowl to find a position not far from the baby, sat down slowly, put the bowl in his hand next to the fire and roasted, so that the snow in the bowl turned into a bowl of water.

"Let's spend the night around this baby, see what the weather is like tomorrow, find a time to sell him, and let's get the money and live a full life." The boss stretched out his dry and red palm, touched the baby, and looked at the jade pendant in the swaddling clothes.

"Then what does this kid eat, how can he sell it for a good price in case he gets hungry on this snowy night? The second child bit the hard snake meat and said vaguely.

"What to feed, let's cover our butts with tiles, how do you care about him, is it possible that you want to feed him? Wait for the bowl of snow to turn into water, give him a little drink, and the rest depends on his creation, how long he can hold on and how long he can last. When the time comes, it's okay to buy a good price, and if something happens, sell it at a good price, and bury it when he dies, it's his life. The third child said angrily,

"Alright, the snow is almost gone" The boss picked up the bowl in his hand, picked up the baby, and slowly put the water into the baby's mouth.

"Hey, second child, look at this old man, picking up the wild child as if he were picking up his grandson. The third child patted the second child next to him and looked at the old beggar who was feeding the baby with a smile.

"Come on, my grandson, this is our cash cow, don't be careful. The old beggar put down the baby in his hand, raised the bowl and took another sip of water.

"It's not too early, go to bed, and see what God means tomorrow, whether to let this baby live, or let this baby stay here. The boss lay down on the lap of the wooden platform behind him, tightened the rags on his body, found a comfortable position, closed his eyes, held his right arm with his left hand, stretched out his right hand in his arms, and held the stone hidden at that time.

"Oh, it's fate. ”

The two beggars cleaned up, and lay down next to the baby, with the heat of the jade pendant, there was no need to worry about freezing to death, and no one cared about the bonfire.

It didn't take long for the two beggars to snore, and the boss listened carefully for a long time, not like a pretended snoring, before he really closed his eyes with peace of mind, but he didn't dare to sleep too deeply.

No words all night...

In the blink of an eye, the sky was hazy, and there was no unpleasant thing last night, the boss woke up first, and quickly looked around, the baby was still by his side, and then stretched out his finger and probed the baby's snort, still asleep, still alive, the old beggar breathed a long sigh of relief. looked at the other two again, they were also asleep, and the second child turned over and fell asleep again.

Then the old beggar stood up, patted the dirt on his body, and walked to the door of the temple.

When the day dawned, the snow stopped, and so did the wind. The mountains and houses in the vicinity were immersed in the quiet of the windless and the clear cold, immersed in the dazzling light and pale blue shadows, and everything was so white, hard and clean. The cloudless pale blue sky, the dome shrouded the earth, and thousands of flickering points of light and shining crystals fluttered and frolicked in the sky.

The old beggar smiled with a wrinkled face and a dry mouth, "This God, it's interesting enough." ”

"Hey, hey, wake up. ”

When the two beggars heard this, they opened their eyes and saw the eldest with a wooden stick poking at the fire, and they looked at the broken door of the temple, which had been torn down by the old beggar and made a fire.

"Ah~ I haven't slept so warm and solid for a long time. Why did you tear down the door and build a fire?" the third child yawned and slowly got up and asked puzzled.

"Then make a bowl of water for this child, this god is interesting, the weather is surprisingly good today, clean up and eat some leftover snake meat, and go to the town of White Horse, find someone to sell this baby, and then find a shop and sell the jade." The old beggar took the bowl on the ground, picked up the baby again, and poured snow water into the baby's mouth.

"What are you doing with a fire, that jade can't melt a bowl of snow?"

"I don't know what's wrong with that jade, it's not hot. The eldest put the child down and looked at the two of them.

"It's not hot!"

Hearing this, the third and second children hurriedly took the jade out of the swaddling clothes and touched it repeatedly.

"What, how can it not be hot?" The second child sweated in a hurry, the color and size of the jade were the same as last night, the only thing was that it was no longer hot, and it was cold and cold. Whether it is hot or not seems to be no big problem, but it is related to the price of jade, it is a good jade if it can't be heated, and it is a magical good jade if it is hot, no matter how magical it is, the price is high!

"I don't know, it may only get hot when it's cold, don't panic, let's find a place to sell it first, and exchange it for money." The boss pretended to be calm, but kept shaking his head in regret.

"Okay!"

After speaking, the second child handed over the jade pendant in his hand to the boss, and the three of them ripped off the remaining snake meat from yesterday, and divided it with each other and ate it.

Gradually, the weather outside became warmer, and rays of sunlight shone through the broken roof.

"It's almost, it's time to go. With that, the boss put the bowl away, picked up the baby, and stood up.

Hearing this, the two hurriedly extinguished the fire and stood up.

"Hey, hey, hey, get rich. ”

The three of them walked down the hill outside the door.

。。。。。。

"Hey, you say, how much can this jade and this wild child sell for? The third child followed behind the eldest and turned his head to ask the second child, smiling like a flower on his face, as if the silver had already arrived.

The second child pulled his feet out of the snow and limped away, "I see, this jade is not easy to say, at least this baby is at this price." As he spoke, the second child stretched out two fingers.

"Two hundred taels?" the third asked in surprise, his eyes widening.

"How long can these two hundred taels last us?" the third child walked with a step, and his heart blossomed.

"Hey, this is our age, it's enough to live until we die!" said the second child impatiently, looking at the snow under his feet angrily, the thick snow made it very difficult for the second child who was inconvenient to his legs.

The three of you said a word, and before you knew it, they would soon arrive in White Horse Town.

Standing at the foot of this mountain, the three of them searched for the big houses in this town, which were inhabited by large families, many of whom liked children when they were old, and there was no shortage of money for one person.

"Wait, let's go find a shop first, sell the jade, and then sell this child, and the two of us will negotiate the price together." The boss turned his head and ordered, in fact, he has his own little abacus in his heart, and he is not happy to sell himself and them separately, who knows if the other party will hide some silver in private, it is better to be together, and then they will understand.

"Good!"

"It's time to get rich! Good days are coming! Hey, hey, hey" The third child showed his uneven yellow teeth and rubbed his hands.

The three of them walked towards Whitehorse.
