Not long after Lin Yin lay down, when he was about to fall asleep, he heard footsteps outside the temple, and he didn't care much, but when he was about to fall asleep, he heard the dilapidated wooden door of the broken temple being pushed, he opened his eyes and looked. By the light of the fire, I saw a young man coming in, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a scarf on his head and a green coat. The clothes are clean. Although he is a man, his face is very delicate and beautiful, like a girl, especially his eyes, which are slender and bright.

Lin Yin glanced at it, didn't care about the person who came, turned over and fell asleep again, but heard the man say: "Little brother is disturbed, I am also passing by here, I want to borrow a night here, please make it convenient." "The sound is also crisp and crisp, very beautiful.

Lin Yin didn't look back and said: "This broken temple is not mine, you live in it, there is nothing convenient or inconvenient." He added: "I see that your clothes are clean, and you don't look like an inn where you don't have money, how did you come here?" ”

The young man said as he tidied up the floor, "When I went out, I brought some money with me, but I used it excessively, and now the money has run out." He sighed again: "Alas, there are more than a few hundred miles left, how to go." Lin Yin laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, I don't have a penny, and I've been gone for a long time." The boy found a plank and sat down, and said, "Then how did you get here?" Begging all the way! Lin Yin replied: "Yes, if you are in the mountains, you can also hunt, claw shoes small beasts and birds, roasted to satisfy hunger." It's a pity that now in winter, there are many fewer wild fruits on the trees, and most of the birds and beasts in the mountains are hiding. After speaking, he deliberately sighed.

The young man smiled and said, "I don't know how to hunt, and I don't know how to beg, so it looks like I'm going to starve tomorrow." After speaking, he touched the package around him, and said: "Fortunately, I still have some dry food, which should be able to support for a few days, and I don't know what to do after a few days." Lin Yin didn't think so, and he didn't bother to speak.

The young man said to Lin Yin again: "Little brother, I still have some dry food here, do you want to eat some." Lin Yin was about to refuse, but the word dry food had already entered his ears, but his stomach screamed angrily, so he had to get up and said with a smile: "Then if you have any excess, I'll eat a little bit." But don't worry, I'm going to get food tomorrow, and I'll pay you back. ”

The young man took out a piece of bread and handed it to Lin Yin, and said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter, why bother, you just eat, I still have a lot." Lin Yin took the cake, glanced at the young man again, slightly felt that this person was a little familiar, and didn't think much about it, and said: "No, you don't have any money, and you can't find food, so you have to pay it back." ”

The young man changed his sentence and said, "Brother, where are you going?" Lin Yin said while eating: "I'll go to Huashan, what about you?" The young man was a little surprised and said, "I'm going to Chang'an, are we stopping by?" Lin Yin replied: "Yes, I also heard that it will be closer and more convenient to go to Chang'an from here and then transfer to Huashan." Then he asked: "We don't want to be called brothers and brothers all the time, my name is Lin Yin, what about you?" What is your name? ”

The young man stood up and said, "Under Li Zhu'er." "Li Zhu'er? Hehe, your name is more girly than mine. Li Zhu'er was not angry when she heard this, and said with a smile: "This pig is not Bizhu, mine is a pig of pigs, sheep, dogs, and chickens, and I laughed." ”

Lin Yin couldn't help laughing when she heard Li Zhu'er's explanation, knowing that it was not good, she hurriedly held back and said: "Pig Da..., Brother Li, don't be angry, in fact, the name doesn't matter, if you like it, it's okay to call me Lin Gou." Then I thought: "I used to know a boatman named Li Yu, and there is a Li pig here, it seems that the surname Li likes meat." It's just a pity that Brother Li Yu ......" Li Zhu'er actually didn't have the slightest emotion, and said: "That's right, the name is given by parents and elders, and it doesn't matter what it's called." Lin Yin echoed again and again.

Li Zhu'er saw that Lin Yin's clothes were thin and shabby, and asked, "Brother Lin, aren't you cold?" Lin Yin pulled the hem of his clothes and said, "It's not cold, but the clothes are a little torn, and the skin and flesh are about to leak out." ”

"Oh, I've heard that people who have learned martial arts, their internal strength is deep enough to a certain extent, so they can not be afraid of cold and heat, Brother Lin is a person who practices martial arts?"

Lin Yin glanced up at Li Zhu'er and said, "I have learned some, but the internal strength is definitely not deep, and it is not cold because I have not been afraid of cold since I was a child." He asked Li Zhu'er again: "Brother Li is also a member of our martial arts." Lin Yin has been practicing martial arts for a short time, and there are no martial arts practitioners around him, but he especially likes to call himself a martial arts person.

Li Zhu'er knew what it meant after thinking about it for a while, and said with a smile: "I have learned some vinegar and fist kicks from the martial artists in my family, so I can barely count it." Lin Yin pondered: "What should two martial arts people do together?" He thought again: "Brother Ren is always fighting with those bad martial arts people, or he is going to learn from each other, whether he wants to learn from this Li Zhu'er." As soon as this idea came up, he knew that although he used to hang out with some second-rate young people in the township, he was not aggressive, and the idea of learning was really because he didn't know how to continue to talk to Li Zhu'er.

Seeing that Lin Yin didn't speak, Li Zhu'er said again: "Brother Lin, tomorrow we will go out of the city and go north, do you think it's good?" ”

Lin Yin had already lay down again, and he didn't get up, and replied, "Tomorrow?" I also want to ask for more money and dry food, so that I can make a coil, otherwise we will not be able to eat and drink on the way. ”

Hearing this, Li Zhu'er smiled and said: "Then we will stay tomorrow for another day, and we can set off the day after tomorrow." Lin Yin thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'm going to ask for more tomorrow, so that the two of us can eat for a few days." Li Zhu'er smiled silently.

Early the next morning, Lin Yin was about to rush to Bailong Temple, but Li Zhu'er said that he had something to do, so he separated from Lin Yin and made an appointment to meet here in the evening.

Although Sanquan County is not big, there are a lot of people in the temple fair, Lin Yin has never seen this formation, all kinds of shop stalls, and a dazzling array of goods for sale, which makes him overwhelmed, and even forgot to beg. It wasn't until after noon that I remembered that I wasn't here to visit the temple fair, so I hurriedly found a corner with a little more people to do, and put a broken bowl to close my eyes and recuperate.

It's a pity that the flow of people gradually decreases in the afternoon, and most of them hurry home, and rarely notice the young beggar in the corner, so in the evening, Lin Yin begged for a few copper plates and a few hard buns. When it was almost dark, he put away the copper coins, and rushed to the broken temple if he didn't want to break the bowl.

Not long after I got up, I heard someone calling, "Little brother, it's the first day you've been here." ”

Lin Yin turned around, looked at a middle-aged lame beggar who turned around like himself, and asked, "It's been a few days since you came, what's the matter?" ”

The beggar didn't answer, and said with a smile: "My name is Hu Table, and I am a disciple of the Sanquan Rudder of the Beggar Gang, I wonder if the little brother is interested in joining my Beggar Gang?" ”

"Beggar gang? Is it a gang that just wants food? Lin Yin pondered again: "It's really the world's greatness, and there are even groups who ask for food." I remembered that one of the people who traded with Ren in Dalin Temple that day was also a beggar, who seemed to be an "elder", but in fact he was not old.

"Exactly, I have thousands of disciples in the beggar gang, as long as I join my beggar gang, our thousands of brothers are a family, no matter where in the future, as long as the token of my beggar gang is displayed, if there is any difficulty and need help, the brothers will spare no effort to help." Hu Table said.

Lin Yin thought that he didn't want to be a beggar for the rest of his life, and this beggar gang couldn't get in, so he said: "Thank you, I'll leave tomorrow, so I won't enter." Hu Table smiled: "As I just said, my beggar gang is not the only one, the world is big, as long as there are beggars, there will be a branch of my beggar gang, and the little brother joins my beggar gang, there are absolutely only benefits, no harm." ”

Lin Yin was a little impatient, why did this person keep talking crookedly, so he said: "I'm sorry, I'm really not interested, I still have something to do, let's go first." "I'm leaving.

Seeing this situation, Hu Table sneered: "It seems that the little brother still has a lot of rules that he doesn't understand, but he knows that begging is also divided into territory, and the little brother is begging for a day in my Sanquan County beggar gang territory today, and I don't care about you when you first arrive." I kindly persuaded you to join the gang, but don't be ignorant. ”

Lin Yin sneered, and was about to have a seizure, but he remembered that he was not familiar with his life, and his martial arts were low, so he was afraid that he would suffer a loss and said: "I will leave here tomorrow, and I will not break your rules again." He ignored the table and left.

When I returned to the ruined temple, it was already full of stars. Lin Yin saw the fire in the broken temple from a distance, and knew that Li Zhu'er had returned. When he entered the temple, Li Zhu'er was indeed inside, with a lot of meat and a bottle of wine spread out in front of him.

Seeing Lin Yin come in, Li Zhu'er stood up and said, "Brother Lin has worked hard, I bought some wine and food back, sit down and eat some." Lin Yin was puzzled and asked, "Brother Li used the money from the inside to buy these things." Li Zhu'er said: "I took a piece of jade pendant on my body as dozens of taels of silver, and I wrapped it on the road, which should be about the same." Lin Yin saw the first "huge money" was rubbed by Hu Jiecheng at that time, I am afraid that there are hundreds of taels, but unfortunately those silver coins were taken away along with the wrapping skin by the Jialing River, so that he is now penniless, and he thinks that a piece of jade pendant is worth so much money, it seems that this Li Zhu'er's family must be either rich or expensive.

Lin Yin was also not polite, sat down and said, "I'm really a little hungry, so you're welcome." With that, he tore off a piece of chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth. In recent months, I have been sleeping in the open air, eating either cold or raw, where have I ever eaten such fragrant and hot chicken legs. So he devoured it mercilessly, only hating that his mouth was not big enough. Finally ate two chicken thighs, and a few pieces of pork jerky, only to feel that he looked very ugly, hehe laughed twice, looked up at Li Zhu'er, and said strangely: "Brother Li, why don't you eat, are you afraid that it will not be enough?" Don't worry, I can't finish eating so many by myself, and it won't taste good until it gets cold tomorrow. ”

Li Zhu'er smiled: "No, no, it's just that I haven't eaten meat for many years, and I'm afraid it won't be good." Lin Yin was already working hard to nibble on a large piece of roast lamb shank, and said vaguely: "Don't touch meat, are you a monk?" ”
