Text: Red Rope

The girl is the illegitimate daughter of the old man in the courtyard of North West Street in the city, two years ago, a woman with tattered clothes but a good face dragged the girl to the front of the compound, and then the woman disappeared, and the girl stayed.

A motherless child, still a girl, the name is the young lady in this yard, in fact, she only has something to eat, and no one inside and outside is looking at her.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the young masters and ladies in the courtyard are all keeping watch in the house, there is no need to wait, and the people are idle, so they get together to drink two sips and break their mouths by the way.

Today, the firecrackers were released, and the confetti fell together, and the people swept through the front door, but the back door was placed, thinking that no one would pass by, so it didn't matter.

The girl swept a broom a little taller than her and swept down the steps of the back door. A large pile of red confetti was swept to a corner, and the girl wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled with satisfaction. When she turned around, she found a cyan head emerging from the corner of the stairs opposite, staring at her in a daze.

"Hey, look at what I'm doing!" The girl didn't dare to step forward, so she just stood at the corner of the steps and yelled over there.

The cyan head popped up again, and the girl saw clearly that it was a beggar wrapped in a torn coat, "Miss, you can do it, I haven't eaten for three days." "The little beggar has been wandering in the streets for a long time, and the nonsense in his mouth comes as soon as he opens his mouth.

The girl took it seriously, blushed when she heard the little beggar's words, and waved her hand again and again to deny, "Nonsense, nonsense, I'm not a big lady." Then he looked at the little beggar's thin and small appearance, "You are waiting for me here." ”

The little girl sneered and climbed the steps into the yard, she has the habit of hiding food, sometimes she is ignorant and annoys the people in the yard will be detained for food, in order not to starve, she developed this habit, I didn't think it would come in handy now.

The girl handed the white flour steamed bun that was only half left in her arms to the little beggar, "My mother said that boys should eat more, but I only have this half of the steamed bun left today, you eat first." ”

The little beggar thanked him, grabbed the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, he didn't eat for three days is fake, but he hasn't eaten something that can really be counted as 'rice' for a long time is true. After a wolfing meal, I noticed the girl who was smiling next to me, "Your mother is right, I haven't eaten enough, and you still owe me half a steamed bun." ”

The girl blinked her eyes, "Then can I pay you back next time?" ”

The little beggar wiped his mouth, "It's okay, but after a day I'll be hungry again, and this half of the steamed bun is gone, and I have to eat a whole one." ”

The girl was a little embarrassed, "But I only have one steamed bun." ”

"Then let's take one and a half, and I'll be fine if I eat less." The little beggar waved his hand as if he didn't care, and the girl nodded, and took a long breath, as if she had solved a big problem.

The little beggar jumped up the steps and scurried in front of the girl, "I ate your food, but not for nothing, what do you want, tell me." ”

The girl frowned and thought for a while, "I have a house to live in, I can't stand the wind or rain, and I still have food to eat, so I don't want anything." ”

The little beggar sneered, "According to you, you're doing well." ”

The girl nodded seriously, "Yes, my mother said at the beginning, my life is good, and there is good blood in it." ”

The little beggar smiled even more happily, and the girl saw that he didn't believe it, and lifted her sleeves to reveal a red rope on her wrist, "You see, this is good luck, my mother said that with it, everything will be fine." ”

The little beggar saw that the girl was really serious, so he didn't pick it out, and touched the girl's little head, "Since you don't have anything you want, then I'll give you a show." There has been a martial arts team on East Street in the past two days, but many people have gathered around to take a look, I have learned a rough idea, and I will show you, you can see it. ”

The girl sat on the steps, holding her head, and watched carefully, the little beggar jumping from one end to the other in the snow, waving in his hands, and not knowing what to say, it was really interesting to watch.

In the days that followed, the little beggar would come to the back door of the compound every day to look for the girl, and there were many crumbs scattered on the steps, and he also heard the stories of the city.

There are sixteen girls this year, and the little beggar has been waiting at the back door for a long time, and he was late today to get this wooden hairpin, but he didn't think that the girl would be even more late today.

It wasn't until it was completely dark that the girl came out with a bowl. The little beggar picked up the wooden hairpin and took the bowl, "Wow, it's so good today, white rice and vegetables and meat." ”

The girl kept twisting her clothes with both hands, "Little beggar, you can't come up here in the future." ”

The little beggar didn't even have time to swallow the food in his mouth, "What's the matter, the people in the courtyard found out?" They won't let you out? "In a hurry, I choked on my throat.

The girl hurriedly stood up and smoothed the back of the little beggar, "No, no, why are you panicking?" Be...... It's a good thing. ”

"What's the good thing? What's so good about you in this hospital? ”

"Sir...... No, my father gave me a family affair, and Ming'er will come to marry, I am really a young lady now. ”

The little beggar was stunned, opened his mouth, and couldn't say anything when he got to his mouth, tossing back and forth for a long time, "Congratulations, that family?" ”

The girl shook her head, "I don't know, it's the second son of the Li family in the south of the city, you know, I haven't been out, I don't know." ”

The little beggar threw the bowl on the ground, "Are you still stupid?" Who doesn't know that the medicine jar of the second son of the Li family has stepped on half of his feet in the grave, so let you marry him? Do you still think you've really become a young lady? That's the other daughters of his eldest man who are reluctant to take his own place, and pull you to replace them! Do you still call him Daddy? ”

The girl has never seen the little beggar make such a big fire, some of them were bluffed, plus she was stupid, "But he was originally my father......"

The little beggar stared at the girl hatefully for a long time, and he really couldn't think of another way, "Yes, we were born with such a life, heh." ”

The girl also saw that the little beggar was angry, and the little beggar was definitely sulking when he was angry, and he couldn't go away when he was alone. "Isn't this very good, my mother said before that girls are going to get married, and I thought I would not be able to get married."

"Yes, you are so stupid, who will marry you except that sick man." The little beggar casually stuck the hot wooden hairpin on the girl's head, "It's today's meal money, let's go." ”

"Hey, little beggar, don't go!" The girl saw that the little beggar was leaving, and hurriedly jumped down the steps and grabbed the hem of the little beggar's clothes.

"What else? My eldest lady. The little beggar shook off the girl's hand.

"What, after you, after you, you have to find a good place to eat." The girl held back for a long time, and then she held back this sentence, and after saying it, she felt that this was something he could decide, if she could, she could still be a little beggar, so she began to worry again, "You...... What are you going to do when you eat in the future? ”

The girl is like this, she always makes people angry, she still has a lot of things, and she is busy worrying about others, "What are you crying about, I live so big, you really don't have a place to eat, I'm a beggar, I can't live if I eat, I'm worried about it, I just saw you being a bully, so I didn't leave because of you, so it's better to take care of yourself." "Wiping away the string of tears for the girl, "They are all going to be other people's daughters-in-law, what are you crying about, let's be good in the future." ”

The girl sobbed and choked, but she still grabbed it and didn't let her go, and after grinding for a long time, she took off the red rope on her wrist, "This rope is useful, my luck has improved, I got married, and I became a young lady, you will wear it in the future, and your luck will be good." ”

The little beggar took the red rope and put it on his hand, "Remember, I've cried enough today, don't cry tomorrow, this new daughter-in-law can't touch the mold when she enters the door." ”

"Got it." The girl nodded.

The two families who got married today are all in the city, the scene is not magnificent, from the north of the city to the south of the city all the way to the red makeup paving, the honor guard also sang non-stop, no one knows who said what.

The little beggar stood in the pier under the bridge, and on the bridge was a big red sedan chair carrying a girl's head, so many people stepped on it, and the bridge seemed to be unable to hold on.

"Girl, after crossing the bridge, it is the Li family, and I can be regarded as sending you a kiss here."

Later, when the war happened, the little beggar mixed in the team and begged for a living, but he was not worried about running out of food. Until the war subsided, the little beggar was alive and well, except for a few more scars on his body.

Later, when he met a big family without a queen, seeing that he was smart, he adopted the little beggar and gave the little beggar a name, called Wen Shunping, with a vision of peace and security.

Wen Shunping was originally a smart person, and now that he has someone behind him, he is very fast to get started with serious things, but in three years, the Wen family's industry has doubled in the hands of Wen Shunping.

"Mr. Wen, your vision is really good, this area used to be the yard of a big family, if it wasn't for the flames of this war, how could this place end up like this."

"You used to be here?"

"Yes, yes, you're such a wonderful person, you've got everything. The villain opened a small shop here before, and he barely made a living. ”

"Do you know who lived in the courtyard here before that?"

"Who doesn't know the people who live in this city, it's not just everyone, but also the prime minister of the previous dynasty, you don't know......"

"Wait, I know this, I want to ask what happened to the young lady who married the Li family?"

"Oh, she's not a young lady, who is willing to push her daughter into the fire pit, I heard that it is the widow of a person in the yard, the old lady has a good heart, raised her, and in return, went to this ghost gate for the young lady in the yard."

"You mean ......"

"What else can it be, the Li family's medicine jar died before the war, and the little lady could only be buried in a coffin."

Wen Shunping looked at the few steps left, opened his mouth several times and realized that his voice was wrong, and coughed several times, "Okay, here, buy it." ”

"Girl, your red rope is really smart." Wen Shunping stood on the bridge that day, and the Li family that had long since disappeared to marry the girl, "I should have come to the bridge that day to take a look, you must be very beautiful in your wedding dress, heh, I never told you that you are a top beauty embryo." ”
