But unfortunately, your hometown was hit by a flood, a flood flooded your family's fields and houses, you and your daughter-in-law depended on each other, walked hundreds of kilometers, came to the next village and became a homeless person, starving, so you made a selfish decision to sell your daughter-in-law to the landlord in the next county at a low price.
You hold on to what little silver you have for a few months, and during this time, you try to find a job as a serf, but the people of this place are very exclusive and do not accept outsiders, and now you are starving to the bone, and when you have no way out, you can only choose to beg and become a beggar.
One day you were finally given two steamed buns, a skinny old man like you, suddenly rushed out and snatched the steamed buns away, you were already hungry and couldn't stand it, you rushed up directly, beat him with all your strength, and took back the steamed buns and ate them.
After reacting, you found out that it was a peer, since it was a peer, why did you grab your own things, but he told you that the begging income of this place belongs to him, you are full of disdain, for this kind of unreasonable person, you turn your head and leave and continue to beg.
But it didn't take long for you to appear in front of you, more than a dozen people like you, including the old man who had just grabbed steamed buns with you. As soon as they came up, they beat you up, and now you know that beggars are not so easy to be, beggars have a special organization called the beggar gang, and the gang order stipulates that if someone trespasses into other people's territory to beg, they will attack them in groups.
According to the gang order, you will have to have a finger cut off, but fortunately, the leader of the beggar gang in this area, who is also in this group, after you begged bitterly, learned that you have just become a beggar and do not understand the rules, so he decided to let you go, and was ready to absorb and accept you as a member of the beggar gang.
You followed them to their territory, and when you didn't know, you were shocked that in a room similar to a pigsty, there were dozens of squatting boys and girls with missing arms and legs. These children are blind, and have apparently lost their childlike nature. You don't dare to squeak, but you don't have to guess to know that these children are abducted here.
The leader saw that your roots were not bad, so he decided to take you as an apprentice, teach you some martial arts and the skills to ask for life, your master is called Xiao Chongba, and you are named Niu Jiu, according to the rules of the new disciples, you must be named by numbers, and also according to the number of seniority, if there is the same surname older is called the big surname nine, the younger one is called the small surname nine, you were given a small surname because you are young, and the surname is changed to the surname Niu.
In this way, you joined the beggar gang and became one of them, after joining the beggar gang, according to the regulations, you need to train in several compulsory subjects, such as top nose, tongue piercing, dancing flower bowls, etc., and now you know that the original acrobats on the street are all from the beggar gang.
After training the basic skills, followed by the training of crying, to what extent do you cry? Professional ability must be good at actors, cry if you want to cry and cry out of sadness, crying sincerely, once you get money or food, you have to stop immediately and thank you.
After a month, after training day and night, you can finally go out to the mountains to beg. The next day, when you set off together, you took the props you needed for the miscellaneous, while the other beggars took the props and went to the temple where you first joined the gang to pick up a child.
Although you don't know why, you don't think much about it, the first day of begging you worked hard, but when you return to the gang, you find that your income is less than half of everyone else's. You asked the master with doubts, and the master taught you a trick, you should pay special attention to whether there are red and white happy events in your territory, as long as you encounter it, you must go up and shoot two planks, in this case, the other party usually gives money very happily in order to save some trouble.
The second day, the third day, the days go by slowly, and although your income gradually increases, you find that the gap is getting bigger and bigger. So you went to ask your master again, and the master saw that your desire for money was getting bigger and bigger, and told you that those children were all abducted by others, and after becoming disabled, they were sent out to beg, and they would not be given food every day if they could not meet the requirements, and they would even be beaten, so the income was naturally several times that of yours.
Your teeth itch with hatred, but you know that no matter what, you can't do such a hurtful thing, and you still insist on your last bit of conscience and your own moral code, and continue to do your own thing.
But those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and after a month, you find that others have been begging for a day, and you can change your clothes to eat and drink at night, and you can even go to the Spring Tower to drink flower wine!
Seeing that their little days are getting more and more nourishing, your heart begins to struggle incomparably, you are no longer satisfied with a full meal, and after two months, you finally can't bear it, you ask for some medicine from Master, and Master smiles meaningfully at you.
You walked more than 50 kilometers overnight, and came to a strange village, the sky began to lighten, and the people began to be busy for the day, and after a while you finally saw a woman with a child washing clothes by the river.
When the child is a little away from the woman, you quickly take out the drug and slap the child on the nose and mouth, and she loses consciousness. You took her to a makeshift den, and then brought her back when it got dark.
The next day you took the child to the gang, and Master saw that you had brought back a girl, and just as you were about to give the child numbing the drug, and were about to poke her eyes blind, cut off her tongue, and break her feet and hands, Master stopped you. He told you that this girl has beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes, there is no need to be so bad, you can make her a big-headed doll.
You first stuff the child into a large vat and raise it, knock a hole at the bottom of the vat to drain the excrement, the child can only be fed water and food because he is confined and cannot move, and after a few years, the baby is raised, and then the vat is broken, and the girl has become big and small. Her limbs had shrunk and were soft like cotton, and she could be manipulated at will, while her head was as big as a normal person.
Wherever you go with a monster, you will be watched by onlookers, at this time her appearance is very pitiful, so it is better to make money, if someone asks you, how can there be such a deformed person, you lie that it is your own family, you are born like this, and since then your conscience has been completely distorted.
The second, the third, your works are more and more, and more and more crazy, one day you lead a dog down the street, but this is not an ordinary dog, but has human ears and nose, and this dog can also open its mouth to speak human words, humming a little song while walking, and for a while the onlookers have paid money, just to listen to this magical dog keep humming.
A few years later, one day your master found you and said that the gang had started to trade in human beings, and all the kidnapped children were transported to the beggar gang in Hangzhou.
And to make these works, most of those children don't survive, and few of them can survive, so it's better to follow the gang to do human trafficking.
In addition, you now have a certain status in the gang, and the master said that he can allocate a new piece of land to you, and there is a village called Daoxiang Village more than 200 miles away, so that you can go over and run it.
You are excited, at this time most of your works have died, and the only few have been killed one by one because it is inconvenient for you to travel far away, and after you have done everything, you set off with a breeze on your sleeves.
When you arrived in Daoxiang Village, you disguised yourself as a cripple, no matter how many child kidnappings happened nearby, no one would think of a cripple head, you built your stronghold in the abandoned City God Temple at the entrance of the village, and you know that rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, and you have never missed a few years, and you have never been suspected. Until one day a shrew in the village annoys you, and you want to take revenge on her child.
You have been waiting for the opportunity, and after seeing that she had an argument with the old man Li next door, you decisively took away her child and tied it to the secret room of the City God Temple, ready to be another human dog. After doing everything, you found Old Man Li in the wine shop, pretended to care about him and escorted him home, and sure enough, at the door of his house, Old Man Li was dragged by the shrew and asked him for the child.
When everyone's attention is focused on Old Man Li, you quickly dodge into the corner, throw the child's clothes into his house, blame him, and then quietly return to the street, as if you had never left.
At this time, a few people from the village seemed to want to meddle in this matter, but you didn't pay attention to it, after all, so many years of success have made you lose your vigilance and vigilance, and you believe that they will not suspect you.
However, it backfired, you never expected to be exposed, they actually visited the City God Temple at night, and started a vicious fight with you, you escaped without the enemy, and then you were captured alive.
After going to the county office, you were taken to the firewood room of the inn, and two people from the rivers and lakes began to torture you. Although your mouth is very hard, you still can't help their torture, so you have to honestly explain everything and just want to die quickly.
"How could the beggars be like this? The beggars in my impression are all chivalrous and brave. Lin Fan was shocked by this beggar's past, and said in disbelief.
"Who told you that? It is not surprising that the beggars help a group of unemployed vagrants, the so-called poor mountains and bad waters, and a group of people who can't eat enough, do anything in order to survive. Jiang Yun looked at Lin Fan strangely and said, he seemed to be suspicious of Lin Fan's three views.
Lin Fan was a little speechless, he really wanted to chat with Jiang Yun about the heroic deeds of heroes such as Hong Qigong and Qiao Feng, but do these characters really exist?
