Chapter 4: The Story of the Old Beggar
Zhao Cai did prove his business ability, and before half a bag of cigarettes worked, he took out the broken jar that cost six loads of money, and then put it in front of the old bustard.
Hua Liuzi plopped and knelt on the ground, his face was pale, and he kowtowed...... "Big lady!" Big lady forgive your sins! There's not a lot of money in it! It's all that Song Wen talking nonsense and slandering people, only a few small coins I picked up...... Thinking, thinking about the hard work of the big lady, the little one saved a few dollars to buy a few fruits for the big lady to eat! Big lady ......"
The old bustard snorted coldly and made a look, and the old dog leg next to him stepped forward and smashed the broken clay pot, and dozens of hundreds of Tongbao coins and six golden ten coins rolled on the ground with a gurgling roll!
"Huh? This is, who put this in the jar? This is...... Song Wen, it must be you! You ......"
The old bustard was furious, and stepped forward to kick Hua Liu's mouth: "You dog minion! Still dare to quibble? What else is there to say? Needless to say, in the past three months, the guests in the building have always shouted that they have lost bits and pieces of copper coins, and it seems that you have done it all by killing the dog...... Zhao Cai! Drag him to the firewood room and whip him fifty lashes......"
"The big lady spares her life, the big lady spares her life! Big lady ......"
Hua Liu, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, was dragged away by Zhao Cai and his subordinates like a dead dog...... Song Wen knew that in this evil feudal society, once the slaves were branded as unclean, they would have to live in the gutter for the rest of their lives...... No master would trust such a servant anymore.
The old bustard gasped a few times, turned his head and squinted his eyes to look Song Wen up and down, and Song Wen smiled with a smile that was purer than a little daisy......
Song Wen...... No matter what twists and turns there are in this, the old lady is not in the mood to care! You're doing a good job...... This little money will be rewarded to you, and you will still go back upstairs to do chores, but remember! If you have unclean hands and feet, the old lady will break your hands and paws! Do you understand? ”
Song Wen arched his hand and replied: "Don't worry, the little lady will never take this desperate road to do this kind of indiscriminate!"
The dog-legged old lady hurriedly stepped forward to pick up a few ten coins, and by the way, she scooped up a handful of small coins and stuffed them into her sleeve, while the old bustard raised his head and turned back to the front yard with a high spirit.
Song Wen looked at the remaining copper coins on the ground, smiled, and finally picked them up, and then took out a handful and stuffed it into the hand of the little green slave who was still trembling next to him...... "Hide quickly, and when your Mama Li comes back, I will tell her carefully as it is, in the past two days, you must avoid the eldest lady, she and Mama Li are not in agreement, I am afraid that I will find you unlucky!" “
The green slave wiped a handful of tears and stuffed the copper coin back into Song Wen's hand...... "Brother Wen, you can keep this money for your expenses!" I've got my grandmother to take care of me, it's okay! These days...... These days, you are stupid and stupid, which makes the slave family very sad, and Hua Liu also said that you are sick and stupid, and you are a waste person who can't live! ”
Song Wen didn't know what to say for a while, and finally just sighed, watching the green slave stumble into the side yard.
Song Wen looked up at the moon, and then Shi Shiran ran ran in the direction of the firewood house.
The firewood room of the Qinglou has two functions, the shed outside is a place to store firewood, and there are several small compartments inside that are tightly repaired with mud walls, those disobedient prostitutes and slaves...... All of them have learned the power of the Qinglou firewood room! Once locked in the firewood room by the old bustard, it is a trivial matter to lose the skin......
As soon as he arrived outside the door, Song Wen saw Zhao Cai, the nurse, blowing the wind at the door with his arms open, and the sound of the whip hanging and Hua Liu's miserable howl faintly came from the firewood room...... Zhao Cai glanced at Song Wen: "What's the matter?" Come and see the excitement? I know that Hua Liu has been cheaply pit you for a long time in the past few years, this time he poured blood mold, you rabbit cub is out of a bad mouth, right? ”
Song Wen shook his head: "Brother Zhao, we are both subordinates who live in the backyard, and I don't feel good when I see him do something wrong......
"Hehe, don't pull the calf! The building has lost a lot of scattered copper coins these days, and the eldest lady is so angry that she deducts Lao Tzu's monthly example of hanging money, and spends six rabbit cubs...... Lao Tzu must abolish him this time! ”
Song Wen nodded: "Hua Liu, this is also self-inflicted, but I'm afraid I'm going to hate me and Brother Zhao in the future......"
Zhao Cai took a sip: "He dares?" This time, let's let him have a good memory, and when he sees grandpa in the future, he will have pee! Hmph......"
Song Wen stretched out his hand, and Zhao Cai squinted his eyes at a large handful of copper coins...... "What?" You don't want to intercede with this bunny, do you? ”
"No, no, because this guy is angry and tired with Brother Zhao, and if you spare him, won't the eldest lady be angry? This money was rewarded by the eldest lady, and I thought about it, where am I worthy of the eldest lady's reward? Brother Zhao is the hardest in this, and these rewards will be used as a little brother to invite Brother Zhao to have a cup of tea! ”
Zhao Cai frowned, and then scolded with a smile: "Yo! I almost lost my breath after a serious illness, could it be that you, a stinky boy with a mallet head, have opened up? Hehe...... It's a strange thing to encounter every year! Since it's not a plea, it's a matter of attack...... Hey, fuck off! Don't worry, Hua Liu, the thief, will have to take off a layer of skin......"
Zhao Cai took the copper coin and stuffed it into his arms, rolled up his sleeves and entered the firewood room...... After a few moments, Hua Liu's howl became even more poignant!
Song Wen stood alone in the night and shook his head, and then muttered: "The original owner and green slave of this body have been bullied by you for almost ten years, and they have been killed half to death by you several times...... This time, even if you pay off the debt of the dead! From now on you both owe each other......"
On the second day, after Song Wen got up, he didn't see Hua Liuzi in the same house being sent back, so he inquired and said that he was sold to Zhuangzi outside the city by the old bustard, and it was estimated that the future would not be better.
Song Wen went to the front yard to get a set of green clothes and hats, and he was dressed decently, after all, he was going back to the building to serve the guests. When passing by the well, Song Wen took a closer look at himself in the water...... After washing it, it can be regarded as handsome, but the face is pale, the skin is dull, and there is a little bit of a serious illness that has just recovered.
He would only go to duty at night, so Song Wen got up and left the backyard and went straight to the Wan'an Bridge on the Bianhe River.
Still having some money in his hand, Song Wen went to the foot shop to buy two pots of wine and a few sesame cakes, and then came to the stone he wanted to see last night.
"Is the old man still there? Did you starve to death? ”
Song Wen had just raised the wine bottle and took a sip, when suddenly a shadow fell to the ground from the wooden arch pillar of Wan'an Bridge.
The old beggar stretched his waist, squinted at Song Wen and asked, "Ho, the dead ghost has become a turtle?" Is this completely open? ”
Song Wen threw a pot of wine, and the old beggar took a sip and shook his head: "It's like rancid water, let's make do with it!" What are you here to do? ”
Song Wen looked up at the old beggar's eyes and said, "Come and thank you, thank you for making me decide to try to live, this Da Song is not bad, and Bianliang is also very good!" I've thought about it, who said that the turtle can't live freely? ”
When the old beggar heard this, he squirted a sip of wine on the ground...... "What do you say?" You were still strong and bloody last night, and you wanted to die...... Do you just want to be a turtle boy today? ”
Song Wen was stunned for a moment: "What's the matter?" Is there no future for being a turtle man? It's better than being a beggar, right? ”
The old beggar pointed at Song Wen and scolded: "Lao Tzu persuaded you to stay for half a night because he saw that you had some blood, why do you still want to go back to be a turtle father?"
"I'm a house slave who was sold when I was a child, what can I do? Do you want to be a fugitive slave and go out to be a beggar and a homeless? I don't even have a household registration! ”
"You...... I...... You...... Alas, forget it, if you love to be a turtle, do it! It's better to die than to live...... Hum! ”
Seeing that this strange old man didn't seem to want to have any deep entanglements with him, Song Wen sighed and asked, "Old man, who are you?" What do you want to do here? ”
The old beggar snorted, "What's your business?"
"What if I can help you?"
"You are a little turtle boy looking for death and life, what can you do to help Lao Tzu?"
"Tell me! Don't be embarrassed! ”
"Fart! Which is embarrassing? ”
The old beggar squatted on the stone with a wine jug and said, "Wang Jin, the gun teacher of the Bianliang Forbidden Army...... You know? ”
Song Wen's heart was suddenly like electricity, but he pretended to be at a loss and shook his head.
The old beggar spat and said hatefully: "I am his fellow disciple, and I came to Bianliang to help him but do something, but that dead stubborn donkey has to let me leave it alone!" Coupled with the fact that his rival has a lot to do with Bianliang's gang, I can only hide in these nooks and nooks for the time being in order to avoid those eyes and ears, and wait for the opportunity to ......."
Song Wen asked tentatively, "What opportunity are you waiting for?"
"Wait for the opportunity to kill!"
"Kill whom?"
"The favored ministers around today's official family, the righteous son of Gao Yu......"
Song Wen blurted out all of a sudden: "I'll wipe ...... You're going to kill Gao Yanai? ”
The old beggar took a sip of wine and wondered, "Don't you know these officials?" How do you know about Gao Yanei? Gao Yanei entered the genealogy of Gao Yu's family, and he is his own son...... He also accepted three or four of these righteous sons, this is the son of one of his companions back then, surnamed Zhou Mingxu, whose name is Hob Tai Sui, who is a lazy and lazy ...... I have done a lot of evil things in the past few years! ”
Song Wen suddenly realized and nodded: "Since you are not an official, why did you have a dirty relationship with the head of the Forbidden Army's gun and stick sect?"
"Gao Yu is in full bloom, and it is the time to be domineering...... One person attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascended to heaven! What's so strange about that? It was Zhou Xu who forcibly seized a shop, and it happened that the owner of the shop and Senior Brother Wang Jin had some in-laws who turned around, and then they were stopped by Senior Brother Wang Jin! As a result, this guy has been looking for his brother's bad luck several times, and last time he almost brought someone to break into his brother's house and ruined his brother's daughter Yueniang! The thief killed the talent, how could Lao Tzu spare him? ”
