Volume 1 Life History Chapter 34 Don't be afraid
Ping'er took the silver given by Jiang Li, held it in the palm of her hand and rubbed it repeatedly, so much silver, she would definitely be able to support her father and mother to pick her up, that big brother is really a good person, Ping'er thought so, and jumped back to the bridge hole.
Since she was separated from her parents, this small bridge in the city has become her only safe haven.
But fortunately, she was not alone, and on a rainy night two days after she was separated from her father, a stray big yellow dog also came here. As soon as Ping'er left her father, her panicked expression had not disappeared, and the yellow dog was also wary of Ping'er, and no one greeted anyone with one person and one dog.
Until the next day, Ping'er found some scraps in the vegetable market in the city, which were used to feed the yellow dog.
"Rhubarb, I'm back." Ping'er happily came to the yellow dog and touched its head affectionately, "I'll tell you, I've already sent the letter, or my father and mother will come to me soon, when the time comes, you will also go home with me, I have a lot of delicious food at home, you can eat enough every day......"
The big yellow dog lay on the ground, just whimpered lowly and licked Ping'er's palm.
"Rhubarb, are you hungry? Let's go, I'll take you to eat big buns, I'm rich now. As he spoke, he didn't forget to shake the silver in his hand at the big yellow dog.
"Wang, Wang." The big yellow dog seemed to understand her words, stood up, and barked twice.
A man and a dog came to the street after a while, the dirty Ping'er and the sick yellow dog aroused the disgusting eyes of many passers-by, but Ping'er turned a blind eye, obviously she had long been accustomed to such an alternative gaze.
Ping'er went straight to the steamed bun shop and said timidly: "Boss, I want four steamed buns." ”
On the way here, she had already thought about it, so she bought four buns, two for herself and Rhubarb.
The owner of the bun shop saw Ping'er's gray face, looking like a beggar, and was about to drive people away, but when he saw a small ingot of silver handed over by Ping'er, his face changed instantly, and the philistine's face was undoubtedly revealed.
The boss took the silver and looked at it, and after saying a good word, he packed the bun and handed it to the little girl.
Ping'er took the silver and said thank you to the buns, and beckoned Rhubarb to go back.
As everyone knows, four buns have shrunk the ingot by nearly 30%......
Ping'er and the big yellow dog jumped on the road, the big yellow dog stuck out his tongue and wanted to take the bun in Ping'er's hand, Ping'er raised the bun above her head, "Rhubarb, eat it when you go home, if you grab it again, I won't give it to you." ”
The big yellow dog seemed to understand her words, and with a whimper, he followed the little girl honestly.
Suddenly, a stone flew in the distance, and it smashed on Ping'er's head impartially.
"Ahh Ping'er suddenly covered her forehead in pain, and the bun in her hand also fell to the ground, turning over a few times, and it was covered with dust.
Seeing this, Rhubarb suddenly became fierce, protected Ping'er, stared at one place with his eyes, and screamed viciously twice towards that side.
Looking in the direction of the yellow dog, I saw that on the lawn not far away, several young people about fifteen or sixteen years old were sitting on it and napping, in the jargon, these people were the scoundrels who had nothing to do all day, and it was these people who had bullied Ping'er before.
One of them, a shirtless young man who looked very wilted, still had a few stones in his left hand, and was looking at a man and a dog with interest, and it was obvious that he had thrown the stone just now.
Ping'er endured the pain and raised her head to look at them, her two big eyes were watery, as long as she didn't pay attention to it, it would break the embankment.
They have nothing to do all day and often bully Ping'er. There is such a group of people in life, like walking corpses, but they like to brush their sense of existence everywhere.
Ping'er bit her lip and picked up the bun on the ground, she didn't dare to say anything, she had a very miserable time before she came to the bridge cave, these scoundrels loved to come to her trouble for fun, and then the situation improved slightly when Rhubarb came, but from time to time she would still be bullied.
Ping'er carefully wiped the dust on the bun, touched Rhubarb's head, and comforted: "Go, Rhubarb, let's go home." ”
The big yellow dog turned his head to look at her, circled around her twice, and roared viciously in the direction of the scoundrels.
"Yo, big brother, this dog is still not convinced, how do you say, open the meat of the dog meat on the hour at night?"
"Dog leftover, then you have to be the first one later, this dog is crazy, it's not easy to mess with."
"Fuck off, why don't you get on, you go first, the dogleg will be eaten for you."
"Hahaha......"
They speak without shy ken away and are loud. Ping'er was very scared and pulled the rhubarb to leave.
But one of them didn't pay attention, and the ingot of loose silver fell from his sleeve to the ground.
"Big brother, look, that girl seems to have silver on her."
When the eldest brother who was lying on the grass squinting heard this, he immediately sat up, looked carefully in the direction of Ping'er, and spit out the grass roots in his mouth, "Damn, it seems to be true." ”
"Let's go, brothers, it's time to open meat today."
When several ruffians heard his words, they all showed malicious eyes.
"Dead girl, come here!" Dog Yu shouted loudly.
The bustling pedestrians on the road all bowed their heads as if they didn't see them.
It's not that they don't want to care, when these ruffians first came out to bully Ping'er, there was a scholar who came out to speak up, but as a result, the person was beaten by them afterwards, and he couldn't get out of bed for several months.
Since then, no one has dared to care about these things.
Ping'er stayed where she was, she didn't understand, she was a little trembling with fear, she picked up the ingot of silver and held it in her palm, her palm was full of sweat.
"Hey, disobedient, huh?" The dog was about to come and rob Ping'er's silver.
"Wow!" Rhubarb was the first to pounce and stop the dog.
Gou Yu was frightened, "Damn, dead beast, Lao Tzu is tired of seeing you!" ”
"Brothers, copy guys." Several ruffians behind him invariably picked up their usual fierce "weapons" from the ground.
The dog picked up a stick, his eyes glinted with a fierce light, and smashed it viciously at the rhubarb, judging from his movements, it was obvious that he did not intend to leave the yellow dog alive.
Fortunately, the big yellow dog deftly dodged his attack, jumped up, and protected Ping'er again.
The remaining ruffians rushed up through the gap, firmly surrounding one man and one dog.
Rhubarb looked at them vigilantly, but Ping'er was frightened by the stick left by the dog just now, and froze in place.
The big brother who took the lead also swept a stick at the rhubarb, but unexpectedly the rhubarb bit the stick, so he simply took the stick horizontally and dragged the rhubarb to the other side.
Seeing that Rhubarb was restrained, the dog wanted to dodge the silver from Ping'er's hand, but Ping'er held on to the silver and didn't want to give it to him.
The dog couldn't get the silver, so he was so angry that he slapped Ping'er in the face directly, "Damn, dead girl, toast and don't eat and drink." ”
This slap directly knocked Ping'er to the ground, whimpering in pain.
The big yellow dog, who was fighting with a few ruffians on the side, saw that Ping'er was in danger, fought with the dog's legs, jumped to Ping'er's side, pounced on the dog, opened his mouth and bit the dog's arm.
"Ahh The dog screamed in pain, and he stretched out his other hand to beat the big yellow dog violently, but the big yellow dog didn't feel the pain, and he didn't let go.
The big brother who took the lead rushed up at this time, and smashed a stick on Rhubarb's head, and Rhubarb finally let go of his mouth as if he had been hit hard.
It lay on the ground and struggled to stand up, its whole body swaying, and its left hind leg was drooping, looking very miserable.
The dog was still holding his arm, still angry, and smashed at Rhubarb again, seeing that there were more scars on Rhubarb's body, but it was still in front of Ping'er, and he couldn't bear to fall.
Ping'er looked at the rhubarb, not to mention how sad she was.
She pounced on Rhubarb and hugged it tightly, "I'll give you all the money, don't beat it again!" So saying, she threw the money in her hand at them.
"Oh? At this time, I remembered to hand over the silver? I'm telling you, it's late, today's dog meat, we are set to eat, dodge! Or I'm going to fight with you! Gou Yu took the silver, sneered, and said.
Rhubarb saw that the dog was about to do it again, and hit Ping'er behind him with a sideways bump, and he was beaten hard.
Its appearance at this time was very miserable, with blood flowing from its head, and scars all over its limbs and body, only the two rows of silver teeth, venting the anger in its heart. Even so, it still protected Ping'er behind it and didn't let this group of people bully it.
Finally, under the heavy blows of one stick after another, Rhubarb could no longer hold on, let out a wail, and fell heavily to the ground.
Ping'er burst into tears at the moment, and she couldn't care about the sticks around her, so she crawled to Rhubarb's side and shouted softly: "Rhubarb, Rhubarb, you won't die early!" ”
The rhubarb's breath had become very faint, and if it weren't for the fact that its chest was still rising and falling slightly, I am afraid that everyone would have thought that it was dead.
"Dead girl, flash aside, you can't bear my stick down!"
Ping'er hugged the yellow dog and cried, as if she hadn't heard him.
"Since she doesn't want to leave, let's fight together and let her know what regret is like." The big brother who took the lead snorted coldly.
Hearing this, the dog left, who was still a little hesitant, also nodded, picked up the stick and wanted to throw it at one person and one dog.
Rhubarb looked at the sticks above their heads and let out a low whimper, but at this time, he was powerless.
Ping'er closed her eyes, her body trembling slightly unconsciously, ready to meet this blow.
One second, two seconds, three seconds......
The imaginary pain did not come, and Ping'er opened her eyes and saw only a white robe.
The man touched Ping'er's head and said softly.
"Don't be afraid."
