The weather was beautiful and the sun was shining brightly in the sky.

On a remote rocky road, a carriage with a yellow curtain is hurrying. The man driving the car was Li Long, in addition to Chun Yu Hanwei, Yu Sheng and Mama Mo, there were also three women and three children in the car, in addition, there was also a man sitting in the carriage, this person was over half a hundred years old, blind in one eye, covered by an eye patch. The man had sparse hair, a bearded face, a medium build, and was dressed in rags.

He was the boss of the gang, and everyone in the carriage, including the men who drove the horses, would listen to him. He is Pan Lao. There is always a malicious smile on his face, which makes people feel panicked when they see it.

These people went around all the way, and came to Panxian by mistake. Panxian and Pubu are intersecting places, this place is a perennial war, and there are often horse bandits. Because this is a place of intersection, people from all over the world who do business will pass by here, and here they can meet not only the people of Yongchun Kingdom, but also the people of the Northern Lion Kingdom and Ningao Kingdom.

After entering the city, Li Long came to a remote place and found a small wooden house that no one lived in. Li Long pressed the people in the carriage and got out of the carriage and drove them into the house. And Pan Lao was still sitting in the carriage.

This wooden house is very large, but it is full of straw dust, and the wooden house is tattered, but fortunately, the roof is good, and it provides shade in the summer and shelter from the rain in the rain.

Li Long walked up to the three boys and instructed, "You three come with me!" ”

The three boys listened, got together, and followed Li Long.

Li Long warned as he walked: "Ask me for more money today, if I can't get it, I will discount the legs of the three of you." You know? ”

The three boys flattered: "Okay, okay, Brother Long, don't worry, you can get it." ”

After Li Long and the three boys went out, Li Long locked the door. In this room, only Chun Yu Hanwei, Yu Sheng and Mama Mo, and the three women remained.

Due to several days of displacement, Yu Hanwei, Yu Sheng and Mama Mo's clean clothes were covered with dust, and their hair was also scattered. In order to survive along the way, Chun Yu Hanwei and the three of them have sold all the valuable things on their bodies to those people, just to get a clean bite of food.

Chun Yu Hanwei leaned on Mama Mo's arms and cried: "Mother Mo, why didn't my father send someone to find me?" ”

Mama Mo stroked Chun Yu Hanwei's back and comforted: "The princess and the county lord must rest assured, the emperor must be sending someone to look for you." ”

"Mom Mo, I want to go home!" Yu Sheng also began to cry.

Mama Mo watched Chun Yu Hanwei and Yu Sheng crying, and she couldn't help but feel distressed. After all, Chun Yu Hanwei is the little princess she raised with her own hands, when did she suffer like this, so Mama Mo also felt very uncomfortable in her heart. It's just that when she left the palace, she didn't have enough hands, otherwise, she and the princess would not have fallen into this step.

Mama Mo cried and persuaded: "The county lord won't cry anymore, someone will come to us soon." ”

Among the three women, a mediocre-looking and thin woman came over and approached Chun Yu Hanwei and the others, she squatted down and sat down with the three of them, and asked softly, "Are you two really princesses and county lords?" ”

Chun Yu Hanwei and Yu Sheng didn't answer, just looked at her cautiously.

The woman smiled: "My name is Feng Niang, and I have no malice." It's just that I want to make friends with you. Feng Niang said, sighed lightly, and explained: "The people who were caught by this group of people are all girls from good families, and we are all hard-working people. Two sisters, I really just want to make friends with you, so that we can take care of each other along the way. ”

"Were you caught too?" Yu Sheng asked weakly.

Feng Niang nodded, "I was a refugee fleeing from the south, and I was caught by them on the way. ”

After hearing this, Yu Sheng felt sympathy in his heart, Yu Sheng stretched out his hand and held Feng Niang's hand, as if to convey hope to her, "Don't worry, my father must be looking for me everywhere now, I think he will definitely be able to find me, and when the time comes, not only will I be rescued, but you will also be free." ”

"We?" Feng Niang was puzzled.

Yu Sheng nodded, "Yes, it's the three of you!" ”

After some explanation, Feng Niang nodded and said with a smile: "Sister, you are so good!" I hope that good people will be rewarded and God will take care of you. By the way, what are the names of the two sisters? ”

Yu Sheng was just about to speak, but Mama Mo interjected: "This is the two young ladies of our family, the eldest Miss Wei'er, and it is the second Miss Sheng'er who is talking to you." ”

"You can call it a young lady, you must be a rich family."

Mama Mo said: "There is only a little money in the family, and it is not a rich and noble family. It's just a little better than ordinary people. ”

Feng Niang nodded, "I see!" ”

After Feng Niang finished speaking, she came to the two girls again.

Lu Di, the county commander of Panxian County, is a good and respected official who loves the people like a son, and he will send people to Panxian every day to set up a tent to give porridge to those who are hungry, cold, and sick to deliver food and medicine. On this day, there were officers and soldiers in the city distributing food. When the three boys saw it, they leaned in. They hid under the porridge shop where the grain was being given and the soup was given, and when the officers and soldiers were not paying attention, they reached out and stole the big steamed buns that were hot with white flowers.

When the three of them were proud that they were not discovered, they turned their heads and found a man in cloth standing behind them, this man was middle-aged, with slight wrinkles in the corners of his eyes and cheeks, this person was Lu Di, the county magistrate of Panxian County, Lu Di kept looking at the three boys without saying a word.

When the three boys saw it, they knelt on the ground in fright, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Uncle, spare us, the little ones don't dare to steal anymore." ”

Seeing this, Lu Yan smiled leisurely, he bent down and helped the three little boys up, "Now the people are in a famine, and you have to suffer from a life of lack of food and clothing at such a young age. Lu Yan took out a bag of silver coins from his body and advised: "You can take this money and live a good life, but remember, don't steal it." ”

The three boys took the money, thanked them vigorously, and left. As soon as the three boys left, a young general in armor walked over, "Adult, although these three children are refugees, they have been doing this rooster and dog thief since they were children, do you have to teach them some lessons and teach them how to behave?" ”

Lu Yan looked at their departing backs and couldn't help laughing: "The reason why the people are thieves is because of the heavy labor, the officials are greedy, and they are hungry and cold, so they don't have time to care about honesty and shame. What's more, these three children have just reached the age of the horn, and it is normal to do some things like chickens and dogs because of hunger, after all, in this troubled world, who doesn't want to live? ”

After hearing this, the young general realized in his heart, "Adult, it's the villain who is short-sighted and inappropriate." ”

Lu Yan sighed lightly, "It's okay! Lu Yan looked at the sky and said with emotion: "There are many disaster victims in this world, and giving porridge every day for disaster relief is just a drop in the bucket." I only hope that this world can be peaceful and peaceful as soon as possible. He Qinghai Yan, the time and the year are abundant! ”

As the three boys walked through an alley, they saw a middle-aged man with a money bag hanging from his waist. This middle-aged man is wide and fat, with a fierce face, and he is not a good person at first glance.

When the third child saw it, he had a bad heart, although he knew that he would be at risk of being beaten to death if he was caught, but the three children had followed those people for two years, in order to survive, what kind of person had not stolen? They also have a mentality of life and death, wealth and prosperity. After all, they were born poor, and no one would care if they died.

The third child pretended to be in a hurry and ran forward, only to hear a "bang" and bump into the middle-aged man. After the man was hit, he looked angry, and he scolded: "Stinky food, don't you have long eyes!" ”

The third child knelt on the ground with weak legs, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Uncle, this uncle, the little one didn't mean it!" ”

The middle-aged man didn't want to worry more about a beggar, and when he was about to leave, he felt that something was wrong, and the middle-aged man touched his pocket, and the money bag was no longer in his waist.

The man didn't think about it, he slapped the third child in the face, and with a "snap", the third child was slapped until he cried bitterly.

The man said angrily: "If you don't learn well at a young age, you can learn to steal money, right?" Today, uncle, I will teach you how to be a person! ”

As he spoke, he slapped the third child again, the third child was punched and kicked by the middle-aged man, and the boss and the second child who were hiding on the side saw it, and the second child persuaded: "Boss, the third child can't escape this catastrophe today, boss, the three of us can't all lose it, so, you just wait here, I'll save the third, if that person has a good heart, I kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, he should be able to let me and the third child go, if he doesn't let go of me and the third, then you can collect the bodies of me and the third." ”

"Second child, don't go, you are all my brothers, I should protect you, so, you stay here, I'll save you!"

Before he finished speaking, the second child had already run out.

As soon as the second child left, the boss's heart suddenly shook and he wanted to speak, "Come back quickly!" "But it's always a step slower. The second child had already run to the middle-aged man, knelt on the ground, and begged for mercy: "Uncle, uncle, it's okay!" My brother has been hungry for days, that's why he steals. Uncle, you raise your noble hand, the little ones don't dare anymore, the money bag is back to you, uncle, you can do well, go around the little ones! ”

The middle-aged man listened to the second child's prayer and was moved by compassion, "Where is my money bag?" ”

The second child took the money bag from the third child who was lying on the ground, covered in blood. After the middle-aged man took it, he was still angry, and slapped the second child as a warning.

I don't know if it's because of too much strength or too much strength, the second child only felt pain all over his body, and then a mouthful of blood spit out of his mouth.

The middle-aged man warned: "Remember, if you dare to steal anything in the future......"

Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, the second child interrupted, endured the pain and begged for mercy: "Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare to steal again in the future." ”

The middle-aged man snorted and waved his sleeves away.

After the middle-aged man left, the eldest ran out, the second child wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, he helped the third child up, the eldest squatted beside the third child, the third coughed heavily, every time he coughed, blood would flow out of his mouth. The third child's face was swollen, and he only felt a hot pain all over his body.

The boss shouted softly, "Three, three!" ”

The third child gasped lightly, "Boss, second, am I going to die?" ”

"No, no! That person gave us a sum of money just now, and we have money, and I will find you the best doctor, so you will be fine......" The boss couldn't stop crying.

The third child shook his head, endured the pain all over his body, and said with a smile: "Boss, keep the money and take it back to honor them, otherwise, you will be beaten to death by them!" ”

"The boss and I have a lot of skills, just a bag of money, and when it runs out, we can steal it again, so we won't be beaten. Third child, if you hold on, I'll take you to the hospital now. As he spoke, the second child got up and acted, squatted down, and was about to carry the third child, and the eldest helped the third child to the second child's back.

The three of them were sprinting through the alley in a hurry.

"Third child, hold on a little longer, and you'll be at the hospital soon." The boss kept comforting, and tears fell from his eyes.

The second child also ran and chimed in: "Yes, you won't die when you get to the hospital, hold on a little longer!" The second child was crying and crying, and his voice was already hoarse.

The third child was on the back of the second child, tossed and turned, looking at the eldest and the second child who cared so much about him, the third child only felt that at this moment, he was extremely happy.

Because, no one will care about a poor child like him who is fatherless, motherless, and homeless, but the warmth given to him by the eldest and second child makes him feel that even if he dies at this time, it is worth it.

The pain in the third child's body only felt worse and worse, and the third child was dumbfounded, smiling with a relieved face, "Boss, I'm hungry!" ”

"Okay, when you go to the hospital to heal yourself, the boss will buy you a lot of delicious food!"

"Well, good!" After the third child said this last sentence weakly, his eyes were closed, and his slightly raised head fell directly on the second child's back.

The second child paused, his expression was a little trance, and the boss took a few steps back in disbelief, and even his breathing began to be short. A light rain gradually fell in the sky, and the eldest and second child cried directly.

In the rain, the second child still carried the third child on his back, strolling and walking. The eldest choked up as he walked: "Third, at first, we were ten brothers working together and begging on the street together. Just because I'm the oldest, you all call me the Boss. However, I, the boss, am useless and have not taken good care of you. ”

The boss said, slapped himself, and scolded: "What kind of boss am I! I can't even protect my own brother! ”

"Boss, don't do this! Let's bury the third child first! The second child cried and persuaded

The boss stabilized his emotions, they walked all the way in the rain, the rain wet their whole bodies, they did not feel cold, only felt full of sadness.

They came to a mass grave, dug a pit at random, and buried the third child.

The eldest and second knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the third child.

The eldest wiped away his tears, "Third child, I hope you can have a good birth in the next life, and don't go back to such a poor family." ”

The second child was still a little nervous, and the eldest and the second child began to hug their heads and cry again.

The sky was clearing, and the sun was rising.
