"Old man Li, you have to think about it, if you take this child with you, how can we have enough food? If you insist, a few of us will leave. Another man persuaded, threatening. In order to survive in this troubled world, beggars will also form various small teams, they go out every day to beg for food, and when they return, they take out all the begging food and divide it equally. Although this will sometimes divide the food that you want more, no one can guarantee that you will be able to get food every day, and one more person will have more support.

When the old beggar heard this, he hesitated, but when he saw Lu Yuexian's pitiful appearance, especially the bloody scar on his forehead, he said firmly: "If you want to leave, leave it, I won't stop you, but I must stay with this child." ”

When the old beggar saw that he had made up his mind to keep the child, they didn't persuade him, but shook his head helplessly, and then they all scooped up a little bit of slimy food. After eating, he said to the old beggar: "We all thank you, there are still a lot of them in the pot, and we will leave, take care." He shook his head and left the house.

As if he found that there was still a person who did not leave, the old beggar looked up at him and asked a little strangely: "Wang Dazi, why didn't you leave, aren't you afraid that this child will drag you down?"

"What am I afraid of, besides, I still expect you to heal my wounds? I can't live without you! Moreover, just such a little guy, how much can he eat, at most I will be beaten a little more, it's okay, I can bear it, and it is forbidden to beat. As he spoke, the king also smirked.

Hearing this somewhat straightforward man say this, the old beggar was also very moved. No one else understood what he meant, but he knew it all too well. Although this big man is big, others always think that he is very strong, but the old beggar knows that his body is not what it seems. His body was already very weak, and lately, he had vomited more blood than before every time he was injured, and this was why the old beggar had been persuading the big man not to beg for food like that.

The old beggar stood up, patted the king on the shoulder, sighed, and walked out of the house. Now that they were gone, he had to go out early to beg for more food, as he had a child to take care of. And the big man Wang looked at the fire that had been extinguished and the slimy paste in the pot that had stopped boiling, took out his broken bowl from the side, and after eating some, he also came out of this broken house. And now only Lu Yuexian is left sleeping in this dilapidated house.

Lu Yuexian slept very soundly today, since then, he has never slept so peacefully, every day he spends in fear, afraid that he sleeps too soundly, being used as food, or being eaten by the wolves that occasionally come out. The experience of that night was still engraved in his mind, especially the wild wolves with faint blue light in their eyes, and now that he thought about it, Lu Yuexian was a little inexplicably afraid. Night gradually fell, and when Lu Yuexian woke up again, he saw the old beggar kneading the big man, and the big man also snorted from time to time, but the others were gone. And the broken pot didn't know what was cooking, exuding a strong fragrance.

Suddenly, Wang Da let out a miserable howl, and then said: "Old man Li, can you light it up, it hurts too much." Those turtle grandsons, aren't they just a piece of meat, they actually beat so painfully. ”

"Hmph, how many times have I told you not to rob it, you still rob it. This time, people are kind, and you only took a little bit of meat, if you take more, they won't beat you to death!" said Old Man Li, and increased the intensity of kneading. The big man couldn't stop wailing.

"Can you be quieter and don't wake the kid up. Old man Li complained a little.

"Old man Li, you are too partial, I have been beaten so much in order to replenish the nutrition of that little guy, just to grab a piece of meat for him, not only do you not think of me, but you also don't let me cry out for pain, I will shout!"

Lu Yue listened to their words, and suddenly felt the urge to cry, but for some reason, he still held back. I saw him sit up, and said to them, "Grandpa, is the big uncle all right?" and then staggered to them.

The old beggar continued to knead, and when he saw that Lu Yuexian could walk, he smiled and said, "Your big uncle is fine, what's the matter, now I'm not afraid that the big uncle will eat you?"

Lu Yuexian didn't hear that the old beggar was joking with him, but only heard him answer seriously: "Don't be afraid, the big uncle is good, and good people won't eat me." ”

Old man Li and Big Man Wang were both stunned when they heard this, and then laughed one after another. Old man Li laughed at nothing, but as for the big man Wang, he was miserable, because of the laughter, the wound was touched, which directly made him howl in pain again. Lu Yuexian didn't understand why they were laughing, but he didn't care, and laughed along. Laughter is an attitude to life, so why bother looking for reasons every time.

"Well, the meat is cooked, little thing, we have meat to eat tonight. Are you greedy?" Wang Da saw that the meat in the pot had been cooked, and motioned to Lu Yue to go to the side and get a few broken bowls.

According to Wang Da's guidance, Lu Yuexian found two large bowls and a small bowl by the broken pot, although they were a little broken, but he could see that this small bowl was newly found, because the damage to the bowl was still new, and it was obviously thrown away by others and picked up by them.

Lu Yue handed the bowl to Old Man Li, who had stopped kneading, and Old Man Li put some meat in the bowl. Smelling the meat, swallowing saliva, trying to eat this hearty meal.

It was night, and they did not go out again. The city of Peaks and Valley at night is even more indifferent than during the day, and all kinds of covert criminal activities will quietly descend at night and become unscrupulous. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, as weak beggars, at night, they do not dare to go out.

The next day, the sun came to this world early, and the old man and Wang Da were already up when the first rays of sunlight shone into the broken house, and a difficult day began again. And Lu Yuexian also woke up early, and when he saw that the old man and his big uncle were leaving, he suddenly got up from the straw and shouted to them: "Old man, big uncle, I want to go with you, and I can also get something." ”

When the old man and the king heard this, they glanced at each other, only to hear the old man say, "No, you don't know anything about a child, don't go." The big man next to him also kept echoing the old man's words. They have a deep sense of the coldness of the city, and they don't want such a child to suffer like that.

Seeing that they refused, Lu Yuexian was a little dissatisfied, only to hear Lu Yuexian say: "I will, I will, I don't believe you!" As he spoke, Lu Yuexian learned the scene of the beggar he had seen on the road. The old man and Wang Da looked at Lu Yuexian's immature performance, although they felt a little funny, but they were more sad. However, when they saw Lu Yuexian's insistence, they all nodded and agreed.

The morning sun is beautiful, it represents the beginning of a good day, but for beggars, it is nothing more than a simple cycle of struggling to survive. On the day Lu Yuexian entered Fenggu City, before he could carefully appreciate the scenery of this city, he was already oppressed by the city and fell into a coma. If it weren't for this old beggar and this big man beside him, maybe he would have left this world forever. In the words taught to him by the old man, that is, in order to survive in this city, you must first be familiar with the city, and rely on your own familiarity with the city to strive for more chances of survival.

"Fuck off, pariahs. A gorgeously dressed man scolded at Lu Yue, who was looking around, with some disgust. When Lu Yue heard this, she immediately made way for this person. According to what his uncle Wang taught him, most of the people who were dressed in gorgeous clothes were very cold, and some would even beat people for no reason, so that he could avoid them as much as possible. Lu Yuexian no longer remembers the first time he was called a "pariah", he was disgusted, but he was weak and couldn't resist, and all he could do at this time was to avoid them. Later, Lu Yue found a lively place and sat alone, begging from the people around him while looking around. Old man Li and Wang Da were not with him, in their words, beggars are easy to starve to death together, the indifference of this city is far beyond people's imagination, they must be separated, in order to meet the few good Samaritans. However, they also warned Lu Yuexian that there might be a few beggars entrenched in every part of the city, and that a small area should be divided into their begging range, and that if Lu Yuexian was going to beg in one place, it was best to be vigilant, and to leave immediately when he found those people coming.

"Look, there's a little thing begging on our territory, do you want to teach him a lesson?" a beggar in his twenties suddenly said to the people around him after discovering Lu Yuexian.

"Huh?" a large beggar followed the beggar's direction and looked at where Lu Yue was located. "It's the child that Old Man Li picked up a few days ago, and I heard that Old Man Li's group was disbanded because of this child. But Old Man Li is the only doctor among us beggars, forget it, just warn him and let him beg elsewhere. "The big man originally planned to teach Lu Yuexian a lesson, but for the sake of Old Man Li who had treated him, he only planned to drive Lu Yuexian away. Love is love, but the matter of seizing their living space is not negotiable, and it is already very good to just drive him away.

Lu Yue obliquely saw a few beggars walking towards him, remembered the words that the beggar grandfather told him, and immediately stood up and walked into the distance. The beggars, seeing Lu Yuexian leaving, did not chase after them, and after finding a relatively favorable place, they continued their begging life.
