Chapter 9: Living on the Streets

After Du Dabao finished speaking, he hurriedly touched his back, and sure enough, his backpack was missing, and it must have fallen on the car when he tore with the woman. He looked at me anxiously, his eyes wide.

"Something is wrong! The driver didn't seem to ask us for any money. Yes? Isn't it? "I just remembered that when I got off the bus, the driver didn't ask us for a fare at all.

"It's not good, we must have been deceived by them, the taxi driver and the woman must be in the same group, they specialize in this money fraud, I've seen it, but I didn't pay attention to it in a hurry just now, hey!" After Du Dabao finished speaking, he touched his bright head.

"What now? Are we going to keep chasing that ghost? Du Dabao said.

"That white shadow seems to be moving forward, and we'll follow his shadow now, if we catch up with him, we won't run in vain, will we?" I said.

"Okay, listen to you, that's all we can do now, wait until we get rid of this ghost and we're going in the direction of the South China Sea." Du Dabao's head was covered with sweat, and he wiped his sweat and walked behind me.

It was already past six o'clock in the morning, and it was getting dark, and I looked ahead to see that there was a small town. Surrounded by green rape and rice flowers, the fragrance exudes bursts of fragrance. Du Dabao and I walked on this green middle mountain road, the mountain road is very smooth, and from time to time we run past a farm vehicle, it seems that the figure here has begun to work in the fields.

"Nie Yu, I seem to be hungry and gurgling, you can't stop screaming, listen!" Du Dabao patted his stomach and said to me.

I looked at the city in front of me, and it didn't seem like a very small town. After walking for a short distance, a tall sign appeared in front of it, and the three big characters of "Donggang Town" were written on the street sign.

"Brother Dabao, we have arrived in Donggang Town in front of us, I seem to have been here before, and further on the road to the south, let's have a meal here first and then say, how about it?" I said.

"Okay Nie Yu, let's go now, starve to death!" After Du Dabao finished speaking, he hurriedly followed my footsteps.

Soon we were in Donggang Town, and it was already past seven o'clock in the morning, and there were already quite a few people on the street, most of them working and going to school. Just at the entrance to the town, I saw rows of breakfast shops, and the entrance of the shop was still steaming white. Du Dabao and I hurriedly walked over, and now my stomach is also hungry, although I know some magic to exorcise evil spirits, but my stomach is still very hungry.

The two of us walked in, there were a lot of breakfasts inside, they didn't look at the two of us, and then a teenager came over with a notebook.

"What are you two eating? Buns or what? There are menus on the wall to see for yourself! The little one seemed to give us an unceremonious look, but no one in the room paid any attention to us.

I asked Du Dabao for dozens of buns, and Du Dabao ate more than 30 alone, and my appetite really can't compare to me, I only ate ten, and I couldn't hold it anymore. We were just about to leave when the kid came over again.

"Why don't you give money? Want to leave after eating? The little guy seemed to be very angry and grabbed the sleeve of Du Dabao's clothes. Du Dabao looked at me helplessly, his money is in his backpack, now I have money, I used to be with him and he paid for it, so it was a habit.

I quickly rummaged through my trouser belt and then through my backpack, but I couldn't find my wallet anywhere. I was also blindfolded, and looked at Du Dabao with wide eyes.

"What do you think I'm doing? Give money! Du Dabao glared at my hand, but no matter how much I pulled out my hand, I didn't escape a penny.

"It's over, I was stolen by the thin man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks when I was in the car just now, it must be him!" I remember my wallet was on the left side of my trouser belt, and he must have stolen my wallet when he got out of the car. "I searched it again and still couldn't find it.

"You two don't pay for dinner? Do you eat for nothing? The little one seemed to be angry and cried out loudly, and the eaters looked at him, and then at the two of us.

"Why don't you pay for your meals? Are you two tired of being alive! At this moment came out of the kitchen a chubby woman, who seemed to be the mother of the little boy.

"If you don't give money for dinner, you don't give it or not, and if you don't give money, I'll call the police!" Saying that, she picked up the phone and was about to call the police, but the little boy grabbed Du Dabao's arm fiercely to prevent him from leaving, and the other people in the hotel also surrounded us.

"We always give money for dinner, and today our wallets were stolen by thieves, really, how about we send it back to you when we have it?" Du Dabao pleaded.

"Do you know that the two of them depend on each other, the husband died early, the two of you have eaten so much, you are almost catching up with our room to eat, don't give the money quickly, if you play tricks on the old lady, I will fight with you today!" An old woman with white hair rushed out of the room and grabbed me by the waist.

Du Dabao and I were at a loss, and finally Du Dabao took his watch as collateral. He didn't bring the gold chain around his neck this time, only this watch. The two of us walked out of the hotel, but we didn't know what to do without a penny. The two of us simply squatted on the road and wanted to go back to Longquan Town to borrow some money from the third uncle.

Suddenly a guy came up and threw a dollar in my hat. I looked up and saw that it was a little girl who looked like a middle school student, and I looked at my watch, and it was half past eleven at noon, which happened to be the end of school. I just wanted to stand up and say something to her, a middle school student came over, he looked me up and down, I took out a dollar from my pocket and gave it to me, I didn't understand what was going on, but Du Dabao laughed.

"Nie Yu, it seems that you look like a person who asks for food, why don't we ask for the money for lunch here? If we don't have a penny, we can't even go back to Longquan Town, and we have to go to the South China Sea? Du Dabao looked at the money in my hand and narrowed his eyes.

"Okay, let's see if anyone else gives us money, it's good to have lunch together, hehe!"

Sure enough, the two of us sat here for noon, and the students from the opposite school almost gave us more than 100 yuan, and by 2 o'clock in the afternoon, we had saved more than 200 yuan.

"Haha, listen to me, right, where else would you get so much money? Let's not go anywhere in the future, just ask for food here haha! Du Dabao laughed after speaking.

"Hey! What kind of laughter, we are all going to reverse now, can you still laugh? Now let's go have lunch and find a way back to Longquan Town! I said.

"Okay, let's go eat now!" After Du Dabao finished speaking, the two of us went to the steamed bun shop for dinner in the morning, and Du Dabao changed back to his mobile phone, but now our money is still not enough for the fare, so we have no choice but to squat down at the school gate again.

There weren't many people on the street in the afternoon, and the occasional person passing by didn't give us two dollars. After a while, a beggar dressed in tatters came over, and he sat next to Du Dabao with an iron basin. The beggar had a deep stench, his face was covered in black mud, the soles of his shoes had fallen off, and the other foot was bare, and he looked at the two of us with his yellow teeth open.

"Hey, hey! You two are new here? You are not allowed to ask for food here, do you? This is my place! If you steal my territory, be careful, I'm not welcome to you! After asking for food, he took off his shoes and was about to shoot Du Dabao, but Du Dabao dodged and dodged.

"You stinky begging for food, you dare to hit me, be careful that I beat you!" After Du Dabao finished speaking, he raised his fist to scare the person who asked for food, and when he asked for food, he raised his fist and fell to the ground, moaning constantly.

"Hit someone, hit someone, help, help!"

The person who asked for food shouted desperately, and there were more and more people around him, and after a while, the two of us were surrounded, and at this moment, I seemed to hear the sound of a police car in the distance, and I don't know who called the police.

"Brother Dabao, what now? We can't tell what to say to this guy who asks for food, why don't we leave quickly? I grabbed Du Dabao's arm and wanted to rush out, but there were too many people outside, so I didn't rush out.

Just then the little boy from the breakfast shop came up, and he grabbed my arm at once, and I rushed out after him.
