Chapter 256: The King of Beggars
The beggar who had been broken from the hip down, with an iron plate glued to his lower body, his hands were used as his feet, and the iron plate was used as a fulcrum, and he walked forward step by step, and he held an iron basin in his mouth, and there was actually a piece of bread given to him by a good Samaritan.
The three of them did not see the pity of the beggar, but saw the piece of bread in the beggar's iron basin, in the last days, there are many people who have been cut off by the knife and leg of the insect like this, and most of them can only beg on the street with difficulty.
The three of them looked at each other for a moment of greed for the piece of bread, and they hit it off, punching and kicking the beggar who had lost his legs, and then snatching the cake and disappearing into the street, completely ignoring the crippled beggar who was crying miserably behind them.
The three of them hadn't eaten a grain of grain for two days, and the three of them fought for it, eating the whole cake without feeling a trace of fullness.
The three of them, who had eaten bread and replenished their energy, suddenly felt that their whole bodies had become warm, they looked at each other and smiled, and from that day on, they established the path of how to survive in the future - that is, to be beggars, to be the strongest beggars, and then to rob the beggars of the food they begged, so that the beggars had no food to eat.
After seeing the old man who saved himself being bullied, Jiang Cheng was very angry in his heart, these three beggars are simply worse than parasites, parasites don't know how to bully the weak and fear the hard, but they understand that they have deduced the theory of the law of the jungle to the extreme, but they may ignore one point, the reason why people are human is because there is still human nature.
Human beings have seven emotions and six desires, and have their own unique outlook on life, which includes human nature. A man who has lost his humanity is even more cruel than a beast.
Jiang Cheng's body rushed over, but was stopped by the old man.
"Young man, don't be so impulsive, the three of them are used to running rampant here, you can't fight them alone. "For these three middle-aged beggars who are not even enhancers, Jiang Cheng can let them die invisibly as long as he gently uses his martial arts coercion.
"I can help you get your food back, and then kill them scum. Jiang Cheng barely suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Young man, I know that you may not belong here, and I don't know our hardships, but just by looking at your dress and grooming, I know that you are extraordinary, and you may have encountered some temporary difficulties to be trapped here. ”
The old man paused, and then continued: "Those lazy men are not easy, they have never done work when they were young, let them work more strictly than kill them, you have to be merciful and forgiving! Everyone has their own difficulties. ”
Jiang Cheng has survived for so many years in the last days, he has hardly met a few kind people like the old man, seeing that the old man has insisted repeatedly, Jiang Cheng can't say anything more, after all, this matter has not happened to him, and the old man does not want to investigate deeply.
However, Jiang Cheng was still ready to wait for the old man to be absent, and teach them a lesson in secret, such a person should actually be humanely destroyed.
"It's all because of you, grandpa is too kind, if he wasn't afraid that you would be weak, if he had to bring these three steamed buns back for us to eat together, we wouldn't be hungry for a night." ”
It turned out that these three people had robbed a lot of food from disabled beggars, and they suffered many times, and the disabled beggars also learned to be smart, whenever they found food, they would eat the food into their stomachs as soon as possible, for fear of being snatched away by these three guys, but even so, there are often some beggars who are caught off guard and robbed of food.
The young man didn't turn his head, pouting his pig's mouth, and didn't even bother to look at Jiang Cheng, as if he was angry.
Jiang Cheng shook his head with a smile, and couldn't help but miss what he looked like when he was a teenager.
"Don't take children's words seriously. The old man shook his head a little embarrassed.
Jiang Cheng didn't expect that this old man actually had a grandson, because he didn't see this broken leg boy last night, Jiang Cheng thought he was a lonely old man.
The young man snorted, but he still didn't mean to pay attention to Jiang Cheng, and it wasn't until Jiang Cheng took out a few pieces of bread from his chest that the young man's eyes began to roll.
"I've got some bread left, let's share it among the three of us, so we don't have to go hungry." ”
"This!"
The old man wanted to postpone it, but he touched his shriveled belly, and finally took the bread carefully.
"Young man, let's have a piece!" Jiang Cheng said with a smile.
"Hmph, don't eat it. This young man is very backbone, and he actually doesn't eat Jiang Cheng's bread, which makes Jiang Cheng feel a little funny, although he has seen the young man's Adam's apple rolling up and down, and also heard the sound of him swallowing saliva.
"You really don't want to eat it, then your grandfather and I can eat it first, and the bread will be in front of you, and you can eat it whenever you want. Jiang Cheng put a piece of meat floss bread in front of the young man, and then ate the bread with the old man about the river.
"Hmph, I'll forgive you for today's incident. ”
The boy couldn't stand the temptation of the food, so he grabbed the bread in front of him, and then took a big bite, and even burped a few times because he ate it in such a hurry.
And when the three of them were chatting together, most of the beggars also returned to the camp one after another, most of them were disabled, and the appearance of several of them attracted all the attention of Jiang Cheng, they were the few people who had a conflict with Jiang Cheng last night, and each of them was carrying a sack at the moment.
"Sixth brother, are you back? What are you carrying in the sack?" The man named Sixth Brother and the three beggars were obviously a nest of snakes and rats, and the three beggars ran to the man with the sack behind their backs and the name of the sixth brother to greet them, and then took the sack in the hands of the beggar called Sixth Brother.
"Of course, it's all food, and it's about to go through the winter, so we must store enough food, and then rent a small house in the city, and if we stay in the wild, we don't know which day we'll freeze to death and starve to death. ”
"What?food?Sixth brother, where did you get the food?" Although several beggars lowered their voices to speak, they were still heard clearly by Jiang Cheng.
"The autumn harvest is almost falling, and of course I harvested the grain in the field, and I stole six sacks before they harvested. The man who was called the sixth brother had a hint of pride in his lowered voice.
"Sixth brother, you stole the grain in the base city, those fields are all guarded by warriors, and they won't leave any handles, right?"
After the three beggars took a few sacks of grain, they all had a worried look on their faces.
"What are you afraid of? Wealth and wealth are in danger, not to mention, before this winter, if we can't get enough food, maybe we will all starve to death in the wilderness, anyway, it's all a death, fight, maybe we can fight a rich, tomorrow we will sell these grains to the merchants in the city, and then flee to Dingcheng, these grains sold for enough money for us to be free for a while." The warrior named Sixth Brother said very proudly.
Of course, this qiē did not escape Jiang Cheng's ears, Jiang Cheng was chatting with the old man, so he didn't go over to trouble them.
When the night was completely dark, more beggars also returned to the camp, and people lit bonfires and gathered around the bonfires to keep warm.
After staying up for a day, some of them beggars had a lot of gains, and some beggars did not eat a single cubic meter of rice, some of them were depressed, some were numb, and some had hideous faces.
This group of people is the most vulnerable group in Stone City, and almost no one cares whether they live or die.
Just as people were leaning their backs against the trunks of trees and their chests against the campfire, and everyone was thinking about different things, a noise in the distance woke up the beggars who were immersed in the past.
It was a group of people on horses, about twenty of them, all wearing armor and swords pinned to their waists, all of them looking like horses, not angry and arrogant.
Jiang Cheng swept over, and found that he had actually met an acquaintance, this world is really too small, after Haicheng parted, most of the old people in Jiang Cheng fled to the nearest base city, and the nearest base city is of course Ding City and Stone City.
Therefore, the probability of Jiang Cheng seeing the old man is really not ordinarily high.
At the front of the horse team, a young man wearing bamboo armor was Jiang Cheng's former roommate Zhang Zhidou.
Today's Zhang Zhidou is very different from three years ago, he has long since shed the weak skin he once had, and now he has a solemn expression and strong eyes, and he has grown into a strong warrior in his own right.
"Everybody stay where you are, or you'll be killed. Zhang Zhidou turned over and dismounted, and then beckoned his armor soldiers to come forward and surround the group of beggars who were shivering in the cold wind.
"Why? Why are you surrounding us?" The beggar who called Sixth Brother saw more than 20 bright steel knives unsheathed, and his whole person was so frightened that he couldn't stand still.
The thing he was most afraid of was still coming, it came so quickly, and now that the East Window incident happened, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to run away.
"My Jiangmeng's rice field was stolen tonight, I suspect that you did it, come here! ”
Those sacks were piled up under the big tree near the sixth brother, and they were found by several martial artists under Zhang Zhidou in a flash.
"Captain, I found it, and there is no doubt that it is rice in the sack. A warrior said in a cold voice.
"I was looking for clues on the road, and I heard that it was a few beggars who stole our food, and I didn't believe it, thinking that you didn't have the courage to do so, but now that the evidence is conclusive, what do you have to say? Who did it, stand up. Zhang Zhidou said coldly, his tone was very stern.
He didn't see Jiang Cheng, because Jiang Cheng's clothes and face were very wolfish now, like a beggar.
The hand attached to the placket of the man named Sixth Brother was trembling slightly, he was calm, and his numb head was also running rapidly.
"He did it, and I saw him come back tonight with a sack. He had an idea, and suddenly remembered Jiang Cheng, who came here last night.
This Jiang Cheng has just arrived in the group of beggars, and has not yet integrated into the entire team, and there are almost no people who speak for him.
There must be no problem in planting the blame on this newcomer, and when the time comes, everyone will be unanimous, and even if this newcomer has a mouth, it will be difficult to distinguish.
