Chapter 4 The First Job – Beggar
Chang Lai picked up the broken bowl, he felt that this bowl was a good match for Chang Wang, and turned his head to look at the stupid dog who was still sleeping in the cowshed.
The head of the nest is gone, I don't know what kind of dirty mood and what kind of dirty posture to eat at which dirty moment, in short, it's gone, this dog who wants to save face.
"Miss Shu Qi, are you going to herd cattle? Whether you hire someone or not, as long as you want a tael of silver, you can call me for as long as you want, as long as you advance your wages in advance. Chang Lai looked at the book chess with a hippie smile.
Shuqi picked up the cow and walked out of the yard, leaving only the sentence 'I have no money'.
looked at the back of Shuqi, and then looked at Chang Wang: "You just sleep here, I guess I won't have any money with you, who made you look like a dog, alas." ”
Chang Lai was just about to go out, remembering what he was wearing, he retreated, he smiled slyly, and got into the north house.
The Shuqi family is indeed poor enough, a big earthen kang, a lame table and two chairs, an old wooden box on the kang, and a quilt, this is all her belongings.
Climbed onto the kang, opened the wooden box, turned over for a long time, and there were three clothes in total, a hundred flowers on a red background, a red flower on a white background, and a pure black.
Chang Lai chose the black one after careful selection, but the chess is too small, and he can't wear this dress, anyway, he went to ask for food, so it was easier to tear it to enter the play.
Chang Lai put on a torn tattered black clothes, and he already has 20% of the looks like a professional beggar, and the other 80% has to rely on acting skills.
Walked all the way and asked, and finally came to Shuanglong Town, the market in this town is really lively, selling everything, but unfortunately penniless, only to see, Chang Lai found a large flow of customers and can bask in the sun of the wall position, lying on the ground on the broken bowl and shouted.
"The villain lives on the edge of the city of Shan Long, and his family has a house and a field, and his life is boundless.
Who knows that Hu Hansan, he is arrogant and unreasonable, colluded with the government to be lawless, occupy my house and seize my land,
My grandfather turned his face with him, and was beaten flat by him with a stick,
The old dog at home protected the owner, but he was caught in the house,
ravaged a hundred times, a hundred times,
In the end, it jumped into the river and committed suicide to hate the world.
He also drove my father and son out of their homes and went to the river.
I am an old father, and I have to beg alone in front of the street,
Who knew that Hu Hansan was too insidious, and when he knew this situation, he sent someone to plot,
And he beat my father and my son before the city,
The villain is strong, and his remnant life has to be preserved, and the poor old father has returned to heaven,
This hatred is even more difficult to fill, in order to bury my father, the only way to ask for money is here.
While making money diligently, while reading books,
Swear to show your fame, and the enemy will be strong, and the will will be strong.
Chang Lai sang while knocking on the bowl, and sure enough, many people stopped, some shook their heads and sighed, and some people touched the copper plate, Chang Lai secretly rejoiced in his heart, "This group of people is really easy to deceive." ’
Just when the first copper plate was about to fall into the broken bowl, an old woman fell down in front of Chang Lai, knocked over the broken bowl, and the copper coin rolled far away, Chang Lai was shocked, "Did you touch the porcelain?" This is. ’
There was a commotion in the crowd.
"Is this a sudden illness?" "Who can save him?" "Is my family there?" "It's pathetic."
The old woman's lips were white, she had fainted, Chang Lai recalled the first aid knowledge she had learned before, although she was debauched, but the kindness in her bones still made his first reaction to save people first.
He squatted in front of the old man, made her lie flat, and then performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the old man in the puzzled expressions of everyone.
In the center of the chest, in the lower half of the sternum, open the airway, tilt the head back and lift the jaw, artificial respiration, when there is no isolation mask, use mouth-to-mouth blowing, pinch the nose, completely cover the patient's mouth with the mouth, blow 2 times, (some guidelines recommend blowing 5), blow for 1 second each time, and observe whether the chest is raised. Repeat chest compressions 30 times: artificial respiration 2 times, if there is an automated external defibrillator (AED), this is not, how can there be, until 120 arrives, professional medical personnel take over, this 120 is coming and will not blow up the street.
Chang Lai memorized the common sense he had learned before, and did it step by step, the surroundings were silent, and when he raised his head after doing a round, everyone's expressions changed from puzzled to surprised.
"I'm doing CPR on her, it's to rescue, to save her life, I'm me... If you're not taking advantage, don't look at me like that. Chang Lai explained, but his hands didn't stop, praying mentally, hurry up and live, auntie, aunt, grandma, if you die, I'll be finished, hurry up and come back to life, I will forgive you for eating garlic early in the morning.
Beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from Chang Lai's forehead, and doubts were already sounding.
"You let her go, everyone is dead, and you are such a shameless spoiler."
"It's all worth talking about, where is your conscience, where is your morality."
According to Chang Lai's estimate, five minutes have passed, the hope is getting slimmer and slimmer, and he is becoming more and more desperate, God, can you not play me like this, I am really kind, if this is a big girl and a little daughter-in-law, it is worth it for me to die, but this is really, I am more wronged than Dou E.
After a new wave of doubts and condemnations, when someone was about to come up to stop it, the old woman on the ground sighed a few times, and then opened her eyes leisurely.
Once again, the crowd was boiling.
"Ah, alive."
"Oh, this afterlife is not a bad person, he saved people."
"Rest quickly, you will rest quickly, you are really a god."
Chang Lai's relief after being aggrieved came to his heart, and he felt that everything was worth it, just the taste in his mouth, and he waved his hand at everyone while sticking out his tongue to the side.
"Mother, why are you lying here?" A man rushed into the crowd, crouched down, picked up the old woman and walked out of the crowd.
"Your mother fainted just now and almost died, but it was this little brother who saved her." "You let the old lady go slowly." "It's okay, let's take a look at the hospital quickly." "Get out of the way, let him go." The voices are noisy, gossiping, and you don't hear a word of it.
The man stepped out of the crowd and carried the old woman into a carriage on the side of the road, and the coachman drove the horse with a whip, and in a short time disappeared.
Only then did everyone turn their attention to Chang Lai, only to see him pick up the broken bowl, sit back at the base of the wall, and look around with the bowl in his hand.
praised him, praised him with voices one after another, but in the end only a few people gave money, and without much effort, the crowd dispersed.
After counting the bowls and six coppers, Chang Lai poured out the money, put the bowl back in his arms, and ran to a steamed bun shop passing by on the way here.
"Boss, how much does a bun cost?" Smelling the fragrance coming from the steaming drawer, Chang Lai swallowed his saliva.
"One penny, five one, three four." The owner of the bun shop saw that he was wearing a torn outfit and vigilantly protected the bun.
"I want five, how about giving you six?" Chang Lai held the copper coin up to the boss.
"Five is originally six texts." The boss took the copper coin, wrapped the bun in oiled paper and handed it to him.
Chang Lai found a place with few people, squatted in a corner, took out a bun, took a bite, it was too fragrant, and his nose was sour in an instant, thinking that I was a promising young man with two bedrooms and a living room in a third-tier city, and today I ended up in such a situation, not only did I become a beggar, I wanted to eat a bun and I was also low to people, and unconsciously, a tear fell on the bun.
After eating two, he was not full at all, thinking about bringing the rest to Chang Wang and Shuqi, he put away the oiled paper bag, continued to find the broken bowl, walked back to the place where he was begging, set the bowl in place, wiped his face and mouth, and continued to sing the lines.
Around the end of the evening, Chang Lai was ready to close the stall and go home, and the business was not good in the afternoon, so he only needed three copper coins, but at least he filled his stomach.
I was so hungry that I was so hungry that Chang Lai not only calculated in my heart, I would eat another one, a little girl in the book and chess, the amount of food was small, one should be enough, not to mention that she gave me a nest yesterday, and tomorrow I asked for more money to buy a few more for her, and the guilty heart was balanced, and Chang Lai reached into his arms and touched out a bun.
Just as he was about to bite down, a powerful blow slammed into him.
"Oh mom, who's that?" Chang Lai was knocked and staggered forward a few steps, stood firm and turned around, it was a woman holding a child, she fell, but the child was firmly held in her arms, one hand was still stretched out to Chang Lai, and her mouth murmured: "Give me, give me a bite." After saying this, he rolled his eyes and swallowed.
Chang Lai hurriedly squatted down, shook the woman, did not react, probed his nose, this is really dead, how do people in this place like to hit the street, and Chang Lai met him twice.
Seeing that this woman was dressed, tattered, she should be a peer, obviously hungry, and she fought with her last strength to beg for food from Chang Lai.
The people around them whispered, but the death of the poor woman seemed commonplace.
"The drought in the south has starved to death many people who fled the famine, and I pity such a little doll." "Who's going to be able to feed the child, take it away." "Iniquity, iniquity."
The crowd gradually dispersed, and Chang Lai was left still looking at the child.
The adult died, the child didn't know it, leaned on the woman's chest and closed his eyes motionless, Chang Lai pulled the child, picked it up and looked, the little doll more than a year old, with a yellow face and thin muscles, but the facial features were exquisite, wrapped in the old clothes of the adult, and looked weak.
Just thinking about it, the child snorted, and sat on Chang Lai's neck, Chang Lai was shocked, and a sadness rose in his heart, since your mother is dead, and no one wants you, just follow me, as long as I have a bite to eat, there will be half a bite of you, but I can't eat enough. Chang Lai shook his head and stood up with the child in his arms.
With all the belongings, three copper plates, he exchanged a broken mat and a hemp rope with the hungry people by the roadside, rolled up the woman's body, tied it with rope, dragged it to a wooded area outside the city, dug a pit and buried it.
Back in the village, it was already dark, and there was light in the house of Shuqi, Chang Lai first came to the cowshed, found that Chang Wang was not there, a little panicked, rushed to the door of Shuqi and smashed the door.
It was a book and chess that opened the door, and Chang Wang was actually in her room, leaning on the side of the chair and squinting at Chang Lai.
"You little rabbit cub, I thought you saw Hades going, and you didn't stay in the cowshed, what did you do in someone's girl's house." Chang Lai scolded Chang Wang on the surface, but his body rubbed into the room little by little.
"You pay 50 wen for this dress, this... Whose child? Shuqi saw Chang Lai from under his feet, and when he saw the child in his arms, his eyes widened suddenly.
