When he approached Yongji City, his heart was half cold, only to see that the people entering and leaving the city gate were all checked one by one, and the officer headed by him was holding the portrait and carefully checking, which couldn't help but make him hesitate a little. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard the officer shouting loudly, "Hey you, that's right, just say you, hurry up and here, otherwise Lao Tzu will use force, come here, surround me." Sheng Xuan looked up and saw that the officer was staring at him, and couldn't help but sink down, could it be that he was discovered? It was not that the officer recognized him, but that the notice said that a child of ten years old was being arrested, so these soldiers would be extra careful once they found the child.

I saw a team of soldiers rushing over and surrounding him in the middle, the officer swaggered up, stretched out his hand and slapped him, Sheng Xuan pretended to be afraid and shrank his head and raised his arm to block the slap, holding back his anger and pretending to be obedient and shrunk his head and lowered his eyes, "What is the matter?" "What's the matter? Didn't you see Lao Tzu interrogating the criminals? Why didn't you agree just now? You kid has a ghost in his heart." "The military master is wronged, there are so many people here, I know that the military master is calling me?" The officer just slapped Shengxuan's elbow and obviously suffered a secret loss, but in front of his subordinates, it was difficult to say it, so he had to say fiercely, "What's your name?" "My name," "I was about to say that my name was Ye Shengxuan, and suddenly remembered that I must not say this name, so what should I call it?" "Well, look up. Sheng Xuan deliberately squinted and raised his head, the officer looked him up and down a few times, and saw that his clothes were ragged and covered with mud, and his face had already been painted into a small flower face by muddy water, so he couldn't help but raise his leg and kick him in the ass and scolded loudly, "Look at your bear-like name, it's very powerful, get out." ”

Sheng Xuan just wanted to follow the crowd into the city gate, but was suddenly stopped by the officer, "Are you walking through the gate?" Saying that, he pointed with his hand, and saw a drainage passage next to the city gate, which is usually called a dog cave because wild dogs usually enter and exit, "See, that's where you should go, and those who want to eat still want to go through the gate." After saying that, he followed a group of soldiers laughing and returned to the door to continue the investigation, Sheng Xuan slowly walked to the dog hole and looked inside, only to see that there was a black hole inside, and the ground was full of muddy water with ice ballast, but this was not difficult for him, so he simply squatted on the ground and climbed in after a few clicks, which immediately caused those soldiers to laugh for a while, "Damn, it crawls faster than dogs, and it is born to be the material for food, hahaha"" I said he couldn't be, he looked like a little flower, you see he must have been drilling a dog hole just now, otherwise how could it be so fast. ”

Sheng Xuan didn't care at all, he got up and wiped the muddy water on his hands twice on the city wall, and then walked quickly to the city, only to find that there were so many beggars in Yongji City, and when he entered the city, he couldn't help but raise his head to look at him, as if he was always vigilant of his movements, Sheng Xuan walked forward slowly and carefully, and those beggars gradually lowered their heads when they saw him walking by, obviously afraid that he would rob his own territory.

The guards who walked by on the street from time to time also paid special attention to the teenage children, but fortunately, he was dressed as a beggar and didn't pay attention to him, Sheng Xuan couldn't help but secretly complain, it seems that the hope of investing in the store has been completely shattered, and he can only really be a beggar once.

Finally found a place that was not occupied by beggars, Sheng Xuan hurriedly squatted down, then drew a circle on the ground with his hand, and shouted in a low voice, "Uncle and aunt are pitiful." Although he was ragged, he was still very likable, and after a while, someone really came over, looked at him and said, "Alas, at such a young age, he came out to beg for food." Saying that, he dropped a copper plate, he just wanted to pick it up, and suddenly stepped on it with one foot, "Does the kid understand the rules?" Saying that, he reached out and picked up the copper plate and held it in his arms, Sheng Xuan's heart was furious, and he raised his eyes to see a beggar staring at him, this person was five big and three thick, with a face full of horizontal flesh and a beard, and the burnt yellow hair on the top of his head was full of leprosy, which was annoying to look at, and he couldn't help but glare at the man, who knew that the beggar reached out and grabbed his collar, "Why is the kid not convinced?"

At this moment, two beggars, an old man and a young man, came next to him, and the old beggar hurriedly stepped forward with a smiling face, "Lai Ye, this kid is with me, he just came here and didn't understand the rules, don't be surprised." The beggar named Lai Ye turned his head and glanced at it, "Oh, it turned out to be an old shrimp, since it is your person, teach him well." After speaking, he threw Shengxuan to the ground with all his might, and then walked away.

The old shrimp came over and smiled and said, "Little brother, it's new, that guy is not easy to mess with, you'd better stay away from him, otherwise it's you who will suffer, okay, I'll go." The little beggar also came over and said, "I'm a little loach, you're a newcomer, it's better to follow the old shrimp, others are very good ,、、、、" The old shrimp glanced at the little loach, "You talk a lot, don't you go quickly, do you still want to be hungry?"

Sheng Xuan couldn't help but be curious, and when he saw that the two of them were leaving, he also stood up and followed, "Uncle 、、、、, I don't know much about life here, so why don't you let me follow you." Hearing this, the old shrimp stopped, "This, this, alas, child, it's not that I don't want to take you, it's just that the two of us can't eat enough now, and you can only suffer if you follow me." I think it's better to follow your uncle than to be bullied, and it's better for us to eat together than to eat something in the future. Saying this, Sheng Xuan deliberately lowered his eyes and looked sad, as if tears were about to fall, and the little loach also said beside him, "Yes, old shrimp, anyway, we are like this now, and it is not bad for that bite, you can agree." The old shrimp hesitated for a long time, "Alas, well, let's follow." ”

Saying this, he took them around a street corner, found a leeward place and sat down, Sheng Xuan looked at the environment before and after, and found that there were far fewer pedestrians on the street here, and the beggars were next to each other, and couldn't help but ask in a curious whisper, "Uncle, there are so many beggars and pedestrians here, why don't we go over there?" The old shrimp smiled bitterly, "You can call me the old shrimp, you also saw it just now, that is Laiye's territory, even if we go there, everything we want to go to belongs to him." The little loach couldn't help but snort when he heard it, "What Lai, that guy is a leprosy head, and he occupies such a large area with a little strength." The old shrimp hurriedly pushed him, "Don't say it, you go to the street over there and I will stay here with this little brother, I hope to get something to eat, remember to come back early." ”

Sheng Xuan sat there with the old shrimp, chatting with each other while begging, he knew that the beggars in Yongji City were also divided into several forces, one of which was the leper head, and one was called Mao Ba, and the smallest one was called Ge Liu, these three people occupied almost all the main streets in Yongji City, and there were dozens of strong beggars under them, so they wanted the most things compared to life and the most comfortable, after several battles, several of them divided their own range, and no one would easily cross the line.

Until the evening, the three of them didn't get anything to eat, and the old shrimp couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, we are going to be hungry together again today." He stood up and said, "Okay, let's go back." Sheng Xuan felt strange, "There are still people on the street now, why don't you take a while?" The little loach jumped over and whispered, "You don't know if you're new here, it's dangerous to come out at night to ask for food, and if you don't pay attention, people will be gone." "Why is there no one?" The old shrimp immediately became nervous, stretched out his hand and gently slapped the little loach, "Just your mouth is fast, you are hungry like this, you still have the strength to talk nonsense, hurry up." As he spoke, he led the two of them to go under the city wall.

In the dilapidated courtyard under the city wall, thousands of beggars have gathered at this time, and from time to time there are people fighting for a bite to eat, but most of the beggars are keeping their own places in a regular manner. Someone next to him immediately laughed and said, "Old shrimp, don't you have nothing to do? You are full of yourself, and you even dare to pick people back." The little loach immediately didn't like to listen to it, so he wanted to go over and reason with others, but the old shrimp grabbed him, "Ignore him." ”

Finally found a place by the wall, and the three of them sat down next to each other, and then the old shrimp said, "All the poor brothers here, although they speak badly, but there is no malice, if these people can be ruthless, they will follow them long ago, and there will be no need to suffer here." ”

"Alas" heard the words of the old shrimp, the people next to him sighed, everyone lay quietly on the ground and did not speak, I don't know whose stomach gurgled loudly, this sound seemed to be contagious, and suddenly made this small group of people hungry, and some people began to ask the people next to them, "Are you going to eat today?" "No, what about you?" "Me is the same, it's been two days, I don't have to worry about eating for two more days." "Why?" and "starved to death." ”

The little loach sighed, "Alas, it's easy to starve to death." The old shrimp gave him a slap gently, "At a young age, you can't learn some skills, learn some skills, and eat by yourself?" "Old shrimp, what other skills are there in this world that are easy to learn?" In the past, our family also had a few acres of land, but the grain that was beaten down in a year not only could not pay the rent, but even the land was supplied to others, and the family could only beg for food everywhere, my father and mother were willing to sell it to others as a long-term worker in order to let me learn some skills, but I learned a few days before the shop was yellow, and now I don't even know where my father and mother are,、、、 "Speaking of this little loach, I can't cry anymore, and the old shrimp also sighs," Alas, who said no, this Yongji was originally a place where grain was produced, but in the end, the people here had to beg for food to live, and they didn't know when this day would end. ”

Sheng Xuan listened to these words, and couldn't help but feel sad, it seems that Luojia Village is lucky, after all, it is located in a remote area, otherwise I am afraid that it will be like them, and suddenly remembered that there were still a few pieces of dry food in the ring, so he secretly took out a piece and stuffed it to the old shrimp, and the old shrimp was shocked when he saw it, "Where did you get it?" "I asked for it elsewhere a few days ago, and I can get something these days, so I haven't eaten it." ”

The old shrimp obviously attached great importance to this piece of dry food, and carefully held it in his hand for a while before slowly handing it back, "Now this bit of food is expensive, you should keep it for yourself, I don't think you have eaten anything today." The little loach stared at the dry food that was about to burst into flames, and Sheng Xuan pushed the dry food back, "Let's eat it, I'm fine." The old shrimp was suddenly greatly moved, "This, this," Sheng Xuan pointed at the little loach with his finger, and the old shrimp suddenly couldn't help but sigh "Alas," and then broke off the small half of the dry food and handed it to the little loach, and returned most of it to Sheng Xuan.

Although the sky has completely darkened, but the fragrance of the dry food still attracted the hungry eyes around, seeing that Sheng Xuan did not answer, the old shrimp just wanted to stuff it in his hand, and suddenly stretched out a few hands next to him and snatched the dry food, suddenly as if a hungry wolf saw the meat, several beggars fought there.

The old shrimp spread his hand helplessly, and then carefully licked the dry food residue into his mouth, but Sheng Xuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, life will be better." ”

After a night like this, the next day Shengxuan and the three of them went to beg yesterday early, but at the end of the day, they only got a small half bowl of leftovers, the old shrimp ate two bites, and the rest were given to the little loach, even then it didn't last a while, seeing that the sky was getting darker again, Shengxuan finally couldn't help it, and under the pretext of going to the side for convenience, he quietly took out a piece of silver and went straight to a restaurant as soon as he turned around.

His current identity obviously can't go to the restaurant to buy things, so he went around to the backyard kitchen, turned over and jumped in, just steamed a basket of steamed buns on the stove, Sheng Xuan saw that there was no one left and right, and hurriedly put the buns into the ring with a basket cloth, just about to go out and saw a roast chicken next to him, so he unceremoniously accepted it, put the silver ingot in a conspicuous place on the stove, thought about it and then took out a spindle and put it there together, and then jumped out of the restaurant.

Turned around and came to the place where the old shrimp was begging, at this time the two were waiting for him to go back together, Sheng Xuan hurriedly went over and pulled them to run into the alley, this time it scared the two of them, and kept asking him what he was going to do, and when he arrived in a place where there was no one, Sheng Xuan took out the buns and roast chicken, and suddenly startled the little loach, and pointed at him with a wide mouth, "You, how did you make it up?"

Of course, Sheng Xuan couldn't explain to him, he could only say that he didn't see it, in fact, he hid here in advance, and the two of them would be suspicious, but the temptation of the buns was obviously greater than this doubt, the little loach reached out and grabbed the two buns, but was stopped by the old shrimp, "Brother, although we are poor, we can't eat this thing that comes from the wrong way." The little loach had no choice but to reluctantly put the bun back.

Sheng Xuan said for a long time, but the old shrimp just refused to eat, and in desperation, he had to tell the truth: "Actually, I'm not really a beggar, but I was chased and killed by an enemy, so I was forced to do this." As he spoke, he secretly took out a few ingots of silver and stuffed them in his sleeve, and then generously took them out, "You see, I have silver on me, and I bought it myself, and God can testify that if I stole these things and robbed them, let me 、、、、 them."

Old Shrimp hurriedly gagged him, "Brother, I believe you, I have long seen that you are not a beggar." Sheng Xuan smiled and pouted, only to see that the little loach's saliva had already flowed down, "Let's eat it quickly." "Okay, eat, eat. The three of them hurriedly worked together, and the wind and clouds generally solved a roast chicken and a cage of steamed buns.

When the three of them returned to their residences after eating and drinking, they heard a groan in the courtyard, Sheng Xuan hurriedly raised his vigilance, and walked in carefully, but saw a beggar lying on the ground, a few of them were obviously beaten lightly, and hurriedly asked Lao Ximi, "What's going on?" "Alas, you don't know, the leprosy has to come several times a month, ask us people for silver, and if they can't pay it, they will be beaten, I'm afraid they are coming again." Saying that, the old shrimp lowered his head in shame and rubbed his belly with his hands, obviously ashamed that he could eat enough and these brothers were beaten badly, and the little loach suddenly became angry, "These rabbit cubs, we fought with him." "Can you fight hard? Look at who they are? But they are taken care of by the officials, and even if they beat you to death, they don't have to pay for their lives." ”

A few people were talking and walked past a beggar, looked carefully, and saw that it was the old shrimp, so they said, "The old shrimp is you, the little loach and this little brother are also there, fortunately you came back late, otherwise I am afraid that the little loach and this little brother will be arrested." The old shrimp hurriedly asked, "Why are they coming to arrest people again?" "No, our little children have been taken away again, alas, it is better to catch my old bones and save your worries." The old shrimp suddenly sighed, "Alas, it seems that those children are more auspicious and less auspicious." ”

Finding an open space to sit down, Sheng Xuan asked, "Why are these people still arresting people?" Is it extorting money?" "Extorting money? Do you think we have anything worth extorting?" Old Shrimp smiled bitterly, "I think most of those children were sold to big families, otherwise, 、、、、、 alas, there will be no good results in short." Then the old shrimp began to talk about it carefully, and the reason why he asked him to go back early in the evening when he saw Sheng Xuan for the first time was because at night the leper would take someone to catch those little beggars, and all the beggars who were arrested were never seen again.

Sheng Xuan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he heard this, there must be something strange in this, since he knew it, he should find it out, his curiosity was aroused again, how to check it specifically, although he didn't know yet, but the only thing he could do at the moment was to treat these injured people.

The courtyard soon set up large and small clay pots and broken pots, Sheng Xuan quietly out of the courtyard to take out all the herbs that can be used, and then resist from the outside again, and then put all kinds of herbs into the cauldron according to the dose, and soon a pot of pots of medicinal juice boiled out, everyone helped to drink the injured beggars, obviously these medicinal juices are still very effective, after drinking these people will no longer be in pain, the medicinal juice is also a hot soup, temporarily relieving their hunger, everyone started to carry them to the leeward corner for them to rest, and then hurriedly put out the fire, there is a fire candle control in the city, a little later, I'm afraid it will attract the city defense army's investigation.

Through this incident, Shengxuan's prestige was raised a lot, and the next day all the beggars in the courtyard were respectful to him a lot, but only the old shrimp and the little loach knew a little bit about his identity, and the others just thought that he was very mysterious and not like a beggar, nothing more.

In the evening, Sheng Xuan tried to get back a batch of grain, and distributed all the food to everyone according to the head, which suddenly made the compound explode, and these hungry beggars finally ate a full meal, and couldn't help but worship Sheng Xuan as a god, and Sheng Xuan also felt the subtle feeling of being worshiped for the first time.

That night, Sheng Xuan summoned the people in the courtyard and said what he thought in his heart, " At present, most of our predicament is related to a few people in the leprosy head, because our compound is in the place under the jurisdiction of the leprosy head, so he will come to us to arrest people, from the point of view of time, I think they are definitely not as simple as arresting people, there must be some conspiracy behind it, I want to give you the opportunity to contact a few other beggar courtyards like us, to see what the situation is on their side, if I guess correctly, they must have been arrested a lot of young beggars. "I looked around, and saw that some beggars were whispering something to the side, and then they all looked up at him, and he continued" Since this matter is caused by a few people with leprosy, then we will start with them to investigate, from now on we will send people to keep an eye on them, I want to see what they are doing, since we are all poor brothers, we have to help ourselves, in the future we should divide the things we ask for equally, so that we can live without starvation, and only in this way can we free up people to keep an eye on the leprosy, I think everyone should have no opinion. ”

Unexpectedly, no one objected, and not long after Sheng Xuan finished speaking, several prestigious old beggars had already arranged their manpower, several streets were clearly distributed, and the things that each person was responsible for were also arranged, which couldn't help but surprise him, it seems that there are many talents among these beggars, I don't know what surprises they will have next.

Sure enough, within a day, everything had been found out clearly, there were a total of three beggars' courtyards in Yongji City, a total of about three or four thousand beggars, and each courtyard would regularly capture some young beggars, and these people were likely to be handed over to the city defense army.

"City Defense Army?" As soon as Sheng Xuan heard this, he suddenly felt that the problem was not so simple, if this matter had something to do with the City Defense Army, maybe it would involve the General's Mansion, "The General's Mansion?" Could it be the little princess? Probably not, because the capture of beggars had happened long before he came here, and the little princess had been chasing after him at that time. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder, and then he remembered that there was still this big opponent staring at him, and it seemed that he should be extra careful in the future, otherwise he would be too late to run away if he suddenly encountered it in the city one day.

In the next few days, Sheng Xuan tried to go out as little as possible, firstly, to avoid being discovered, and secondly, to take care of his injuries as soon as possible, and at the same time secretly arranged for people to find a clean yard in Yongji City, because the war made many houses idle, so it didn't take a few dollars to buy a compound, and then find a few reliable people to secretly gather all the young beggars in the city here, let a few people change into clean clothes and be responsible for their food and drink every day, but they are absolutely not allowed to walk around, so as not to be discovered.

Since they want to catch the little beggar, it won't be long before they will attack again, and when they find that there are no little beggars in the city, they will inevitably look for them frantically, and as long as they release the bait, they will naturally be fooled.

Sure enough, within a few days, I saw Leper Matou, Mao Ba, Ge Liu, and a few people with a group of people frantically began to search, in order to find the little beggar, many beggars who were begging on the street were beaten, but they didn't say it, not that they were righteous but that there were very few people who knew about it, even if they knew that they were hidden, they didn't know where they were hiding.

In the next two days, the beggars of the entire Yongji City were disturbed, and groups of evil beggars could be seen everywhere frantically searching.

Sheng Xuan's injuries have also recovered most of the time, seeing that the time has come, he swaggered onto the street, at this time it was close to dusk, just happened to bump into the leprosy head-on, as soon as he saw him, he immediately smiled, "How is the little brother today, how many things do you want?"

"You have enough to eat and drink anyway. Saying that, he deliberately protected the broken bowl, as if he was afraid that the other party would snatch it.

The leper smiled and said, "What's delicious about those leftovers, it's better to take you to a good place like this, and keep the spicy ones for you to eat and drink." ”

"I'm not going. Saying that, Sheng Xuan ran away, and when he saw it, he hurriedly shouted, "Chase me." He took his men and chased after him.
