Chapter 51: Little Grasshoppers
The little insect is actually very dissatisfied with Zhou Song and they always don't bring themselves, for example, now, as soon as they find a place to live, they think she is in the way and leave themselves alone in the inn.
She has never been idle, they don't take herself, so she goes out by herself.
So she found a teahouse, asked for two plates of dim sum and a pot of tea, and ate happily by herself.
One plate is freshly baked lotus cake, the other plate is steaming osmanthus cake, accompanied by a pot of mellow yellow tea, which makes people's appetite move.
Although Zhou Song didn't take her, she was always very satisfied with the money.
She was eating alone, when she heard the shopkeeper shouting:
"Hey, you stinky eater! I'm kind enough to give you something to eat, you're good! Take a bite back! ”
The little insect followed the voice, and saw the shopkeeper grab a little beggar and copy a wooden stick in one hand, and the little beggar knelt on the ground, holding a bun tightly in his arms, and said nothing to let go.
"You little rabbit cub, you actually stole Lao Tzu's things! I'm afraid you'll freeze to death in winter, you're ......"
The shopkeeper scolded loudly, and the little beggar seemed to not hear at all, but instead ate the bun in front of the shopkeeper, which made the shopkeeper so angry that he picked up the wooden stick and was about to hit the little beggar.
How can the little insect see this, she also came over like this in the hard days of being a beggar. Although most of the time they have to ask for food and wait for the well-wishers to scatter food, in extreme cases, such as winter, they also have to steal. Although stealing is not a glorious thing, people are dying and don't care about it, at that time she only cared about whether she could live until the next day.
She now saw that this little beggar was going to steal it for the sake of a bun, risking being beaten half to death, and she couldn't sit idly by.
So she stepped forward and grabbed the stick that the shopkeeper waved into the air:
"The shopkeeper, isn't it just a bun, I paid for him!"
Of course, the shopkeeper didn't mind that someone would pay, but he didn't want to let the little beggar go: "Little girl, that's the truth, but if you don't teach him a lesson this time, what if he comes to steal it next time?" ”
"Then you beat him up this time, but you will be killed directly, this murder, after death, you will have to go to the oil pot!" The little bug said in a tricky way.
If the shopkeeper beats the little beggar half to death and throws him outside in the cold and snow, he will die in a few days.
"You ......" The shopkeeper was speechless, the wooden stick was raised and lowered, put down and raised, and finally said with a smile, "Okay, okay, let him go, I don't want the money for the bun, but if he steals it from me in the future, I will break his leg!" ”
"Shopkeeper, you're such a good person!" The little bug winked and smiled.
The shopkeeper snorted, turned around and left, and the little worm squatted in front of the little beggar and said, "Hey, you can eat with me!" ”
The little beggar knelt on the ground, ate the buns cleanly, and stared at the little insect with timid eyes, as if thinking about her proposal.
The little insect grinned, and when he saw that the little beggar didn't speak for a long time, he directly pulled him up from the ground: "Don't worry, my sister is rich, you can order whatever you want!" ”
The little beggar looked smaller than the little worm, short and thin, and was easily picked up and thrown to his seat by the little worm.
"Well, everything on my table is for you to eat."
The little bug enthusiastically pushed the plate in front of him, and the little beggar was at first a little skeptical, but the snack on the table was too tempting, and he looked at the delicate pastry with his eyes and swallowed heavily.
Then he cautiously stretched out his hand, grabbed a piece of osmanthus cake, and just wanted to send it to his mouth, but stopped and secretly glanced at the little insect, and saw that she was smiling, so he had the courage to send the snack to his mouth.
After eating this food, he couldn't control it, and the little beggar stuffed four pieces of osmanthus cake into his mouth in a row, choked lightly and slapped his chest.
The little worm looked at him with fascination, and she remembered that the first time she ate the cheapest sugar cake on the street, she was also so anxious that she was so hot that her tongue was blistered, but she still stuffed it into her mouth, it was the first time she had eaten such a sweet thing, which was brought to her by the blind boss.
She thought so deeply that the little beggar choked, so she hurriedly handed the little beggar a cup of tea.
"Hurry up, drink quickly! Don't be choked! ”
The little worm poured him tea cup by cup, and the little beggar drank it. before he gasped.
She breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "Eat slowly, but no one will rob you!" ”
I don't know if it was just choked, or if it was the little worm's words, as soon as she finished speaking, the little beggar lowered his head and stopped talking, and it didn't take long to hear him sobbing quietly.
Big tears fell down, and the little beggar secretly wiped them with his hands, but the more tears were wiped, the more they became uncontrollable.
"Y-What's wrong with you? Do you still want to eat? ”
The little insect was a little panicked when she saw him crying, she used to cry a lot, every time she cried, the boss would scold her: "Damn, the little girl is trouble, crying why cry", she didn't want to be treated as a burden, and soon stopped crying.
In fact, beggars and young boys often cry, not because of the trouble of the little girl, but of the child, especially the child who does not love his father at a young age and does not love his mother, and comes out to ask for food.
"Alas! What a hassle! ”
She complained, and handed the little beggar a handkerchief, the little beggar probably felt embarrassed to cry, and when she handed the handkerchief, not only did not accept it, but also stopped crying, but there were still some faint sobs.
"You kid, don't hurry up, this is what my sister gave you kindly!"
“…… Your handkerchief is expensive, I can't use it dirty. The little beggar finally spoke, and there was a strong childishness in his voice, and a little dignity.
The little bug laughed a little, and just wanted to say that he had even eaten the snack, which was not bad for this handkerchief, but suddenly remembered that he had also been a beggar, so he silently put the handkerchief away.
Sometimes life is really a magical thing, if she hadn't met Zhou Song and them, she probably wouldn't have used this kind of silk handkerchief in her life, and she wouldn't have sat here and eaten these sweet snacks.
But she just met it, she seemed to have gone from the Hades Palace to the Heavenly Court in an instant, but she didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but if she was allowed to return to the thatched hut before, she would definitely not be able to feel as comfortable as before.
But most of the beggars in the world are still living a life of cold, starvation, and the possibility of dying of illness at any time.
"Okay, do you still want to eat, I'll buy it for you."
"Want to eat...... Bean paste buns. ”
"Shopkeeper, another cage of bean paste buns!"
The little bug and the little beggar finished their snacks here before the little beggar ran away.
After that, the little insect would often meet the little beggar on the street, and when she met the little beggar, she would ask for food, and they became familiar with each other.
"Little beggar, do you have a name?"
The little bug and the little beggar asked, sitting at a stall eating hot noodles.
The little beggar put down the bowl bigger than his face and shook his head.
"Okay, can I help you choose a name?"
The little beggar did not nod or shake his head, but picked up the bowl again and drank the noodle soup to himself.
"I want to think about it...... My name is Little Worm, I am your sister, then you will be called ......" The little Worm's eyes rolled, as if he remembered some ghost idea, "Your name is Little Grasshopper!" ”
The little beggar almost squirted out the soup, and jerked the bowl down, shaking his head violently.
"You kid, my sister can't give you a name if you eat?!"
Seeing that he had refused decisively, the little bug suddenly became angry and reached out to twist his ears.
The little beggar was so wrung that tears were about to fall, and only then did he nod with a sad face, and the little worm let go contentedly.
So the little worm has a little brother called Little Grasshopper.
She originally thought that she would be honest if she gave the little grasshopper a meal ticket, but she didn't expect that it didn't take long for the little grasshopper to get her into trouble.
There is a "specialty" in the Qingcheng area, that is, Taoist priests. It's not because there are only Taoist priests in Qingcheng, it's just that there are many Taoist priests in Qingcheng, so they have become a "special" product.
It is not a good thing that there are too many Taoist priests, and there are more people who fish in troubled waters, and these Taoist priests are true and false, and they don't know how to distinguish them.
The little grasshopper stole a little Taoist, the little Taoist priest really had a bad attitude, which was very different from the appearance of the fairy wind Dao bone imagined by the little worm, she took it for granted that this was also a fake Taoist, and stepped forward to help the little grasshopper vent his anger.
"Isn't it just a broken brand! You fell and I picked it up, and you can't do it?! ”
The little grasshopper stole a jade plaque, held it in his hand, and the little worm snatched it, stopped in front of him, and handed the jade plaque to the little Taoist.
The little Taoist priest looked as old as her, with a jade face and a spring breeze, so good-looking, a dustless white robe called him high, and his raised eyebrows declared the pride of the "pride of the sky".
The little Taoist snatched the jade plaque over: "What a broken brand, you ignorant wild girl!" ”
"Who do you say doesn't know the goods? Who are you talking about?! The little insect was instantly enraged, and in the winter, he rolled up his sleeves angrily, crossed his waist, and roared menacingly, "I see that your brand is fake!" It's as fake as your face! ”
"Fake?! I have the ability to come and see ...... myself."
The little Taoist priest was also very angry, and stretched out the jade plaque in front of the little insect, pointing to the big words on it to say something, but was pinched in the face by the little insect.
"I see! I see that your white and pure little face is as fake as your jade plate!! ”
"Let me go!"
The little Taoist priest had fine skin and tender meat, and his face turned red when she pinched him.
The little insect just couldn't get used to seeing him pampered and looked down on people, so she pinched harder, and even the little grasshopper was pulling beside her, but she still didn't let go.
"If you don't let it go, you won't let it go, you have the ability to cry!"
"You wild girl, uneducated!" The little Taoist priest was so painful that there were tears in the corners of his eyes, and he refused to let go of his mouth, and his two hands tightly grabbed the little insect's hand, and the little insect was stunned and did not let go.
The little insect was very proud, she had never been the only one to bully others, and she had never been bullied by others, she was snickering in her heart, and she was patted on the shoulder by someone:
"Little bug, what are you messing around here?"
