In the middle of the night, the mountain city was silent, and it was basically dark everywhere the eyes went, and everyone went back to their own homes, looking for their own mothers, what should they do. This is not modern life, the lights are bright, like a city that never sleeps. Everyone went to rest early.

Dashan City is located inland, and it has been peaceful for many years, and there are no soldiers who defend the city, only three shifts to maintain law and order. So at night there are only the industrious little bees, who are working hard, and everyone else goes to bed early.

In the ruined temple outside the city, Xia Tu and Xia Shi were wrapped in straw and fell asleep, the weather had entered late autumn, the temperature was getting cooler, although there was a fire next to it, but the two of them still kept shrinking up to resist the cold wind. The statues of the gods enshrined on the broken table were also in tatters, but the eyes were staring straight at them, terrifying in the dim light of the fire, as if they were angry at the suffering of the world.

Xia Yuan was experiencing the impact of what he had heard during the day, and he didn't feel sleepy at all, his eyes staring at the roof, and his mind went blank. After a long time, he turned his head and looked at the trembling figures of the two and smiled bitterly, the money to be received recently is getting less and less, and there are not many people in Dashan City who are rich, plus it is almost winter, everyone is preparing food for the winter, how can there be spare money to give them alms. The full life that the three of them had finally lived was gone, and since yesterday, the three of them have been hungry again. Coupled with the fact that the weather is starting to move closer to winter, I can't figure out what to do, and this year's winter will not be easy. In previous years, when winter came, it was as if at the door of the Hades Palace, and whether it was dead or alive depended on whether God would accept it or not.

Xia Yuan walked out of the temple gate, facing the cold wind, wanting to sober himself up.

The oncoming cold wind whirrels and makes people feel cold to the heart. Xia Yuan sneezed, and after the shot, he felt that his head was much clearer. It seems that it still has an effect, Xia Yuan laughed at himself. It's time for a change, or there won't be a future.

Xia Yuan racked his brains to find a way to survive. But I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't come up with any good solution.

"Big young master, why don't you sleep. Xia Shi's voice sounded behind him.

Xia Yuan turned his head and found that Xia Shi was already standing behind him, and he didn't notice it at all because he was thinking about things. smiled and said, "I can't sleep, come out and breathe." Why don't you sleep?"

"I can't sleep either, the eldest young master is thinking about the winter. Xia Shi also found a big stone next to him and sat down, looked at Xia Yuan and said. There was a little shrewdness in his eyes, and he swept away his usual honest appearance.

Xia Yuan nodded in surprise, after getting along for so many days, Xia Shi didn't deliberately hide it in front of him, he already knew what kind of thing this was, and his usual honest appearance was just Xia Shi's self-protection.

The two sat quietly for a while, neither spoke, and they were both worried about the winter.

After a while, Xia Shi thought about it, and suddenly as if he had made up his mind, he pursed his lips and said, "Young Master, I have an idea, what do you think?"

"Tell me, who is with whom between us, what is not to say. Xia Yuan nodded meaninglessly. He still doesn't believe that there is anything worse than now, and his bad idea is worse now, he is now a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.

Xia Shi gritted his teeth and said in a difficult voice: "Young Master, a month ago, I heard from someone who came to us from other places to look for food, saying that in half a month it will be the day for the beggars to recruit people, I think we may be able to go there to try, but it's just ......" Speaking of this, Xia Shi stopped his mouth and didn't continue.

Xia Yuanzheng listened, and seeing that Xia Shi didn't say anything more, he couldn't help urging: "But what, say, is there any limit?" There was a sense of excitement between words and deeds.

Xia Shi was urged for a long time before he said astringently: "The conditions are nothing, it is said that only eight to fourteen years old are accepted, men and women are not limited, and the ancestors of the family are local to Yuanzhou." It's just that once you join the beggar gang, you are not allowed to quit the gang, and the violator will be punished as a traitor. ”

"Well, that's the case, isn't it like this in other sects?" Xia Yuan asked suspiciously, he really didn't know anything about these things.

"That's different, other sects all recruit nearby acquaintances and knowers, or the master accepts apprentices, or they are familiar with each other. It won't be like a beggar gang, and some rules are not so strict. "After all, Xia Shi is a little older, and he knows more. "Each sect must also prevent other sects from sending traitors to cause trouble, and the beggar gang only recruits local people, and they must also be beggars, and these beggars generally have no home. Even so, we are just ordinary disciples when we go in, without the guidance of a master, without any resources, if we want to learn advanced martial arts, we must continue to make meritorious contributions, at our speed, a lifetime is the life of cannon fodder. Xia Shi laughed to himself.

"That's okay, it's better than not being able to learn martial arts and starve to death. "Xia Yuan is very open, there will always be a way, there are always more ways than difficulties, the living can't let the urine suffocate to death, let's talk about it later. Otaku is this good, big heart, open-minded, optimist.

"The eldest young master, have you forgotten? The Xia family still depends on you to carry forward, if you and the second young master join the beggar gang, what will happen to the Xia family, you swore an oath before the old man died. How can you revive your family when you are a beggar for a lifetime?" Xia Shi shouted eagerly, even more anxious than Xia Yuan himself. The two of them still don't know what the real rivers and lakes are, but they just look at the beggars from the eyes of ordinary people. Although Xia Yuan is a time-traveler, he will not guess the martial arts of another world based on the deeds of the novel, and the beggars in the novel are not much better.

Is there such a thing? Xia Yuan was expressionless on the surface, his heart was turning rapidly, he crossed over, he only remembered some general things, and he had no impression of most of the things. I can't remember, what should I do? Leave him alone, I'll talk about it later, let's get through this first.

As soon as his heart was settled, Xia Yuan immediately changed his face, and said with a sad face: "But I can't let Xiaotu and you freeze to death! The sadness of the expression and the pain of the tone made people's hearts tremble. It's like an actor possessed! Even Xia Shi, a wise and foolish person, couldn't see the flaws, the whole person was so moved, he swore allegiance to Xia Yuan, and he would definitely help the eldest young master revive his family's reputation.

Xia Yuan hurriedly helped Xia Shi up, comforted him for a while, and asked him not to talk to Xia Tu about swearing, so as not to let Xia Tu think wildly, and Xia Shi showed his loyalty for a while.

Haha, isn't it just over, a few people in modern people have taken it seriously. Just when Xia Yuan was complacent, he forgot one thing, that is, the place he was in now was not in the modern era, but in another world, and he didn't know what the rules of this world were. What awaits him in the future?
