Prade rubbed his hands, put them to his lips and warmed his hands, and watched with joy as the last newspaper was taken away.

In the morning, he was sent to Xicheng District to deliver the newspaper, and it took less than two hours from the first person to the last one to deliver it. Seeing that the newspapers in the newspaper were so popular, Pride was very happy for those young people. For the first time, he sincerely hoped that good people would be rewarded, because those two people were really good people, and Pride sincerely hoped that their efforts would be recognized by everyone.

No one knows what it means to Pride when two winter coats are delivered to Prid. The warmth of these two garments is millions of times more precious than their own value. For the first time, someone didn't care that he was just a gangster, he was willing to be really good to him, and cared about his well-being and hunger.

Men really can't cry, and the eyes of street thugs who have long been accustomed to seeing the cold and warm of the world have long been dry. But when the thick coat was worn on his body and he felt the real warmth, Prade's eyes were still red.

So he almost ran away in the morning with the newspaper in his hand, for fear that the two would see his eyes.

The man who gave him the clothes was called A. Risio, and the boy who was as gentle as the rising sun was called Lanlot, which was the result of many inquiries by Pred.

Arisio and Lanlot, Pred remembered. It turns out that not all businessmen are profitable, and not all people look down on street gangsters like themselves, at least the young man named Lanlott looks at him gently and equally, and there is a very natural care, which really makes people's hearts warm.

"Hey, please hurry up early tomorrow. Pred shouted. Just because the two of them were really good, he decided that as long as he had time in the future, he would help them deliver newspapers for free. In addition, he also worked very hard when delivering newspapers, whether it was coaxing, cheating, or even intimidating or intimidating, he must let people who are interested in newspapers take a copy. It was the one who finished delivering the newspaper in his hand. Anyway, he is a tyrant in Xicheng District, and he usually doesn't have any dignity or anything, as long as he can successfully complete the task entrusted by Lanlot, it will be a reward for his sincere care. Fortunately, this thing seems to be a really good thing, no matter whether the person who took the newspaper from his hand is sincere or forced, and he has not really shown regret on his face, and in the end he seems to be quite satisfied, and he really likes the newspaper.

Newspapers, a new thing in Madagar, were made up by a group of young people led by Lanlot. That young man was really talented, Prade thought with some envy. It's a pity that I can't read half of the big characters, otherwise I have to take the newspaper seriously and see what is written on it.

When Pred saw that the newspaper had finished delivering, he shouted again that people would come here tomorrow to buy the newspaper at an old time, and then go home.

Walking through the city of Xicheng, to an inconspicuous small street, turning into a narrow alley, Pride habitually pierced the edges between all kinds of clothes to dry, carefully bypassed all kinds of piles of miscellaneous items, and finally walked to the end of the alley, and pushed open the door of a small cabin.

"Coming back?" said an old voice in the dark room.

"It's back. Prade replied, walking to the innermost point and reaching out to open a small window to let the sunlight in.

The sun shone on a small bed on which a white-haired old man slept. Prade helped him sit up, took off one of his freshly acquired winter coats and put them on him, and asked, "Do you still cough so badly today?"

The old man said: "No, it's just stuffy, and my chest is like a big stone pressed against me, and I can't breathe." ”

Pred's face darkened, and he said, "It's okay, I still have money here, I'll ask a priest to come and show you in a while." ”

The old man reached out and grabbed Prade, gasping for breath, "Don't." I'm already dying, don't waste money on me. You don't want to earn that kind of conscienceless money anymore, save some money for yourself, find a wife in the future, and don't go hungry Campo. ”

Pred's heart was sour, and he forced a smile: "What are you doing with your wife? I'll just have you and Campo. If you hadn't picked up Campo and me, he and I would have seen the God of Light earlier. Haha, don't worry, I have the final say in Xicheng District, I want money, who dares not to give it?"

The old man shook his head and sighed: "You...... It's not good to be hated alive. ”

As he was talking, a skinny little boy pushed open the door with a pile of firewood and came in, and when he saw Pred, he shouted happily: "Brother!"

Pred saw that his face was blue and swollen, worse than he had been a few days ago. With a slight anger in his heart, he asked, "Campo, what's wrong with your face?"

Campo smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's cold, I'll go outside and pick up firewood and come back to burn." As a result, I accidentally picked up someone else's ...... Hehe, he was beaten up. Fortunately, I ran fast and didn't even lose firewood. ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he understood in his heart, where to collect firewood in the city here? To put it bluntly, he was going to steal from others. This is to be caught red-handed and beaten.

Pride was even more angry, and said sharply: "Who in Xicheng District doesn't know that you are my Pride's younger brother, who dares to beat you?" There are acquaintances nearby, and you won't take things, did you run to the east?"

Campo smiled more thoroughly and said, "Hehe, the furry bear Potter in Dongcheng District always bullies us, so I'll steal his things! ”

Pride jumped up and roared angrily: "Damn! Lao Tzu's younger brother also dares to fight?! This mess, I'm not done with him!" Huo Di pulled out a knife from under the old man's shop, and was about to rush out.

The old man and Campo were frightened and hurriedly grabbed him. The old man said: "Sun, don't be impulsive, you can't beat him." ”

Campo also said: "Brother, it's okay, it's okay. Look at me, my skin is very solid, and I am beaten less? It's not that the more I fight, the healthier I get. Don't go to them hard, you'll suffer. Haha, don't go. Come on, come on, sit down, I finally stole some firewood and came back, and we made a fire together. ”

Pred was held by the two and had to throw down the knife in frustration. He also knew that going to Potter to find the field was an egg hitting a stone, but Campo was his younger brother, although he was not his own, he was closer than his own, and he couldn't swallow this breath.

Seeing that the anger on his face had not subsided, Campo feared that Prade would rush over and suffer a loss, so he turned his face to the darker and less well-lit side, and did not let him see it, lest he should be furious again, and only said interesting and happy things, so that his heart would be happy. The old man held Prade tightly, but he didn't let go.

These Pride all understood that his heart was sour, and he finally endured that anger.

Campo skillfully lit a fire, but his family was too poor to have such a luxury as a fireplace, so he had to use a broken basin as a brazier. When the fire was lit, there was a sudden warmth in the room, that is, the smoke of the firewood was too large, and the three of them choked for a while at first.

Prade took off the last thick winter coat on his body and gave it to Campo to wear, but Campo didn't want to live or die. The two brothers refused for a while, and Prade got angry and threatened to burn his clothes, but Campo was so frightened that he had to take it and put it on.

Everyone said that this brother was a hooligan, fighting and causing trouble all day long, forming gangs everywhere and asking people for money shamelessly, and everyone in Xiren City didn't like him and was afraid of him. But Campo respects and loves this brother, he would rather be hungry and shiver with cold than give up food and clothing, where can I find such a brother?

Campo looked at Prade, sat down closer to him, and leaned next to him, hoping that his body temperature in thick clothes would pass through to keep his brother warm. Pride knew in his heart, and couldn't help but touch the top of Campo's head twice, didn't this little brother know that the thicker the clothes, the more the body temperature could not be revealed? However, he understood Campo's thoughts, and the more he felt that Campo was very cute, which made people hurt to the bones.

And the three of them gathered around the fire, and no one said anything about eating. The old man thought that he could save a meal and save some money to make the little one have a better life in the future. Campo thought that if his brother wore too little, he would freeze and get sick, so he would save some money and make a new dress. Pride wanted to save a meal and a half to squeeze some medicine money out for the elderly. None of them spoke for a while, you thought of me, I thought of you, one thought, three concerns, like Mackey's gift, ridiculous and precious. Two words can tell them all, but they can never sum up the feelings inside. In the silence, the three of them just looked at the brazier, no one understood what the other was thinking, and it seemed that everyone understood what the other was thinking, and the strong family affection flowed and turned into a dark fragrance.

Huo Di, the wind rolled up, and a person pushed the door in with an unpopular door, and then closed the cold wind out of the door with his backhand.

"Boss Prade!"

"What are you doing here, I'll tell you, you won't be able to eat today. ”

The blonde-haired Arrez laughed, "Who said that? Look!" snapped a piece of paper in front of Prade.

Pudrey stretched out his head to take a look, didn't he just deliver a morning of newspapers, he had seen hundreds of them, and he was very familiar with them, and he knew them at a glance.

Campo looked strange and picked it up and turned it up and down, but unfortunately he couldn't read the big characters, so he had to look at the painting on it and look at the Naga image on it curiously.

"It's a newspaper. You also took one? This is not good, Lanlott told us to send it, how can we take it yourself. The boy must be a good man, and he can't be treated like this. ”

"You can see first. Areth smiled, and the look on his face was extremely happy.

Pred quickly darkened his face: "You have itchy skin, don't you? I know that I don't know how to read." The only one of us who knows words is you. Last time, I said you wrote ...... message."

Ares slapped his head and laughed, "Look at me, I'm so excited that I forgot about it." I'll read it to you!" snatched the newspaper from Campo's hand and read it aloud: "The Cinnade of Cyrey Maca, first-hand information collected by our correspondent Prade Jones." Pred Jones, isn't that you! Hahaha, you've reported it!"

Surprised and delighted, Pred snatched the newspaper in his hand, looked around in all directions, and asked urgently, "Where, where? Where is my name?"

"Here it is. Areth pointed it out to him.

Pride looked at the small line, and his heart was happy and excited. He delivered the newspaper all morning, but he didn't know that there was his name on it.

"There's something better!" said Arez, "the newspaper says that each of us participated in the collection of information, and that the fee for each of us is fifty silver coins. In addition, due to the adoption of the materials, there is a manuscript fee of 50 silver coins. So one gold coin for everyone! You leave after delivering the newspaper, and they can't find anyone, so I'll collect it for you. Give, a gold coin. ”

Looking at the gold coin, Campo cheered loudly and screamed excitedly: "Gold coin! brother, I want to eat chicken legs!" suddenly felt that something was wrong, looked at Pride carefully, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, can you buy a chicken leg for me to eat?"

The old man also said: "Buy it only for him to eat, Campo has long been hungry." ”

Prade froze, and then listened to Arrez say, "Do you remember beating our Angel?"

Pride was still digesting the fact that he had gotten a gold coin for no reason, and nodded blankly at the moment. It was strange to be beaten so badly that you had to forget it. Yarez said: "That guy beats people very hard, but his heart is good." He told the newspaper that it was really hard for us to run around, and you were the leader, so everything had to be arranged botheredly, so he asked for an extra gold coin for you. You have two gold coins per person, envy! It's good to be the boss! Yes, this is the second gold coin. ”

Campo was already crazy with joy, took the gold coin, put it in his mouth, and bit it, and to determine that it was indeed real, then he screamed: "I really want to eat chicken legs." Stretching out five fingers: "Five!"

Prade was stunned, and Arrez squinted at him, and continued to say shocking words: "That young man named Lanlott said that in the future, as long as we help him collect ...... every month Well, yes, the material. He was paid a month's worth of hardware. Once the collected materials are admitted, whoever collects them will be rewarded with fifty silver coins! Mom, this kid is so generous, the more I look at him, the more I like it! Boss, do you understand what this means?"

Prade nodded blankly, but Campo didn't understand and asked, "What does it mean?"

Yarez took a deep breath and exclaimed excitedly: "It means that our gang of street thugs who don't know anything also have a job!

"Wow!" cried Campo, "can I go?" I can do it for news, I'm very good! I'm skinny, but I can run faster than you!"

Areth hesitated, "I don't know, but I can ask." His Excellency Arisio is very good, Ingres is also disgusting and kind-hearted, and Lanlott is even more soft-hearted, so it shouldn't be a big problem, right?" Then he laughed heartily: "Boss, our gang of people have a job! In the future, you don't need to be hungry from time to time, and there are really a lot of hardware coins." Are you going to invite me today?"

"I'll please, I'll please!" Pred was happy, and exclaimed, "Call all the brothers, anyway, if I have an extra gold coin, I'll bring it to the hospital, don't count on me for anything else, I'll give money to grandpa's medical treatment." ”

"It's okay, you treat yourself first, the money for medical treatment is not enough for everyone to get together, anyway, now there is money, wahahaha!"

When I was rejoicing, there was a noise outside, and the gangsters in Xicheng District seemed to have arrived, and they were arguing outside, and they all asked Pride to invite guests to dinner.

Pred happily called Campo to invite them in, but Arèrex said, "There's one last piece of news, you're going crazy when you hear it." ”

Pred was already numb from the shock, and only asked, "What else do you want to say?"

Yarez said solemnly: "Lanlott said that being a gangster also needs to have quality. What is the most important thing in the new era? What is talent? What is talent?" Arez scratched his scalp and said: "He said that he would ask someone to teach everyone to read and write, and then he would teach us a method, so that we can collect money from people openly and strongly, not only forcibly, legally, respected, and loved. This money is even famous, it is not called robbery or unreasonable domineering, it is called - protection money!"

Prade was completely shocked, and the burning stick in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and he was speechless for a long time.
