Chapter 19: Childhood Playmates

As soon as Gu Laixi and Hu Tiequan walked out of the alley, they heard the crying of children not far away.

A boy of about 7 or 8 years old, followed by two younger henchmen, was grabbing a few 4- and 5-year-old children's balls (bought from Wanjie Supermarket).

"Shna, these frustrated birds who don't have a long memory, are dying again!" Hu Tiequan said and was about to roll up his sleeves and rush forward.

Snarr and his two little henchmen, Lu Hao and Fan Shen, are well-known gangsters in the neighborhood who like to steal chickens and dogs on weekdays, and bully children from time to time. Seeing that no one dared to care, he became more and more arrogant.

Hu Tiequan, who has been studying kung fu with Gu Lai for a year, has long wanted to find an opportunity to try his skills.

But Gu Laixi grabbed the hem of his coat and said: "Hide strength", he didn't want the people around him to know their level.

Gu Laixi didn't make any moves, and saw Nairo, who was standing on his shoulder, swooping down towards the three of them, pecking their heads, and the three of them hugged their heads and ran around, and did not forget to say cruel words, turning around to make them look good, and burning the unlucky crow to eat.

"Ga~ Beware of the octagonal falling into your collar. Ga~"

Nai Luo suddenly said a human word, but before the Song Dynasty, the Chinese had already domesticated talking starlings, and they were not so shocked that birds could speak.

But in the blink of an eye, the three of them felt something cool rolling from the neck stalk all the way to the back of the waist, accompanied by a hot pain, not an octagonal or something?

Shna: "Hell, this is the day of the moon, hey!, why are there octagonals?!"

The few children who were bullied just now didn't care if he had any logic or not, seeing that they were deflated, they slapped happily.

The five children and Gu Laixi gathered together and said hello. These children all live nearby, because they are the same age as Hu Tiequan, and they usually play together.

Gu Lai Xi also issued them the task of collecting items, of course, the condition is that he cannot be betrayed, and he can only tell his family that it is collected for the Wanjie Supermarket, and they do hand over the things to the Wanjie Supermarket, and then get a special task point token, this card is bound to real name, and only those who have obtained the Gu Lai Xi task can use it. Tokens can be exchanged for various supermarket goods, or directly exchanged for silver money. What they don't know is that these tokens are all produced by the system, storing all their information, similar to personal ID cards, delivering tasks through Ye Shiqing, and exchanging points.

The boy holding the ball among the five is 6 years old this year, the oldest, and the tallest, but he is skinny, and the pants with patches on his body do not cover his ankles, named Chen Sanpao, as the name suggests, is the third in the family, but his eldest brother died a few years ago, and the family relies on his father and second brother to do odd jobs everywhere for a living, and his mother does pulp and laundry work to subsidize the family, and life is very poor, but he is optimistic since he was a child, although he is the youngest in the family, but he is especially good at taking care of people, usually no one at home, he will clean up properly, and rarely see him come out to play。

There are also two 4-year-old boys who look exactly the same, they are twins, named Silver Lock and Copper Lock, both of them have small round heads with a small Chaotian tuck on top of them, their skin is slightly dark, their eyes are big and bright, and they look very smart. Usually always together, except for Gu Laixi, no one can tell which of them is which.

The remaining two little girls are 5-year-old Tao Yueyi and 3 and a half-year-old Kong Ping, Tao Yueyi's father is also a small merchant, the family is relatively wealthy, and the ball is also what her father just bought for her as a New Year's gift. Tao Yueyi is the only daughter in the family, she is more pampered at home, and she doesn't have to do anything, although she is sometimes a little squeamish, but in general she is a very kind-hearted child. Originally, today I tied two bags with a red head rope, and with her fair skin, it was very cute. But she was the one who cried the most just after being robbed of the ball, and now her face is like a cat.

And the youngest Kong Ping is like a tomboy, usually following the boy to dig out the bird's nest in the tree and go down to the river to catch small shrimp, just like a little skin monkey, it can be seen that he will not be easy to mess with in the future, but it is a pity that he has such a delicate eyebrow and a seemingly weak little temperament. If Chen Sanpao hadn't pulled her just now, it is estimated that she would have rushed up to scratch her twice.

You wouldn't have thought that this Kong Ping's father, named Kong Chengxin, is a teacher, Gu Fengchun has already given him money and gifts, and Gu Laixi has also passed the examination school, and he will go to school in Mongolia after the Chinese New Year. Hu Fusheng heard about it, and he was also ready to send Hu Tiequan over to study.

I don't know what this gentleman's teaching philosophy is, but he can cultivate such a daughter, and he is probably a person who does not follow the usual path. Gu Laixi pondered in his heart.

Gu Laixi began to issue tasks to them this fall, and let them collect at will, anyway, the more the system needs, the better. At the beginning, a few children other than Hu Tiequan were naturally suspicious of Gu Laixi, who was so young, but they still had the attitude of trying it out, and simply collected some things, in order to make everyone believe, Gu Laixi also specially summoned Ye Shiqing to come over and collect it once, and issued points tokens to everyone, explaining how to use them, and also gave them some extra small gift packages such as ordinary candy and snacks, and several little guys were very happy. So although Gu Lai Xi is the youngest, in the hearts of his friends, his status is the highest.

Chen Sanpao also silently made up his mind that he must work hard to collect and reduce the burden on his family.

Seeing Gu Laixi, naturally they all came around, Hu Tiequan took out the slingshot in his arms, Zhang Luo went to the back mountain to play, according to the convention, Gu Fengchun and Hu Fusheng will not go home at noon, Wang and Qi and An An will not buy things too early, just go to the back mountain to hunt some pheasants, rabbits or sparrows, let Gu Laixi make it called flower chicken or something for everyone to eat, Hu Tiequan has eaten it since the last time, and he has never forgotten it, and he is looking forward to this opportunity.

Several other friends also readily agreed, but Tao Yueyi looked at today's new clothes, a little hesitant, seeing that everyone was going, she had to beg everyone to wait first, she ran home with the ball, changed her clothes, and several others also took the opportunity to go home and carry a small basket, after the assembly, a group of seven people went straight to the back mountain.

Although it is late winter at this time in Kaifeng, it is not too cold, the leaves on the mountain have not yet fallen, and even occasionally you can see the lonely air-dried fruit hanging on the tree.
