Chapter 108: Beggar

Jiang Shu and Tan Yu turned around and were very surprised to see Chasing Yun Yu Zheng and the others.

"Why are you here?"

Yu Zheng stepped forward and said, "We're here to do something, why are you here?" ”

"Tanyu's money bag was robbed by a little beggar, and we followed it here." After Jiang Shu finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Zhao Manying behind Yu Zheng.

This is the first time Jiang Shu has seen Yu Zheng accompanied by a woman, and he is inevitably curious.

Especially this woman has a graceful figure and a beautiful face, and she is a rare beauty.

Apricot eyes darkened, and Jiang Shu suddenly felt that his heart was a little blocked.

"I didn't expect the prince to have friends in Lin'an Mansion, but he is also from Shangjing when he listens to the accent?" Zhao Manying also looked at Jiang Shu curiously.

has been by Yu Zheng's side for several days, and it is the first time she has seen Yu Zheng talk so kindly with others.

The relationship between this person and Yu Zheng must be unusual.

The eyebrows and slender body of this life, combined with the voice of 'Jiang girl' in chasing clouds, Zhao Manying already has a guess in her heart.

"It's none of your business." Mo Yan glanced at Zhao Manying coldly, and Yu Zheng said with a warning.

In a word, it shows his relationship with the two.

not only let Zhao Manying understand the importance of Jiang Shu, but also let Jiang Shu understand that Zhao Manying is not important.

Zhao Manying was bored, and the acquaintance didn't say much.

At this time, the probing guard returned: "Owner, there are five deserted houses in the alley, and all of them are beggars. ”

"What?" Jiang Shu was surprised.

Lin'an Mansion is really unusual, beggars are everywhere, and they still live in the same alley.

Yu Zheng and the others were also surprised, and decided to go together to find out.

The group walked into the alley and looked through the open gate. The people in the courtyard were all sitting or standing or fighting, all of whom were beggars from a few years old to a teenager.

Jiang Shu was shocked and puzzled: "Why are there so many beggars in Lin'an Mansion?" ”

Yu Zheng also came to Lin'an Mansion for the first time, and he didn't know much about this matter, so the group looked at Zhao Manying.

Zhao Manying sighed, looked at the scene in the courtyard with an unbearable expression, and said: "There are floods in Jiangnan almost every year, and they all survive the flood, but unfortunately they have lost their parents and relatives, and they can only beg for a living. ”

"I heard that there was a beggar alley in Lin'an Prefecture, which used to be a residential alley, but then there was a tragedy in the alley, and the people who lived in it said it was haunted, so they all moved away."

"Later, these homeless beggars all gathered here, turning the ghost alley into beggar alley."

Although I have heard of it for a long time, Zhao Manying is also the first time I have seen it today.

The shock of seeing it with one's own eyes is completely different from hearing it lightly.

The deserted house was dilapidated, the yard was overgrown with weeds, and the unbearable children, who were hungry and did not have food, pulled weeds and put them in their mouths to chew, trying to relieve their hunger.

The children were unclothed, unkempt, and some had no shoes, running barefoot.

But they know how to huddle together to keep warm and snuggle up to each other. The older children took the initiative to take care of the younger children, and used the money they begged to buy food, which they cooked into porridge and shared together.

"They are so small, and they are disaster victims, don't they care about Lin'an Mansion Yin?" Jiang Shu's eyes were red, and he couldn't bear it.

"Anyway, I don't care." Zhao Manying sneered: "This beggar alley is the shelter given to them by Fu Yin, and they will be given a bag of disaster relief food every month. ”

"A bag of grain a month?" Tan Yu suspected that he had misheard.

With so many children, how many days can a bag of grain be eaten? No wonder they are going to beg and rob.

Zhao Manying's lips showed a sneer: "For corrupt officials and corrupt officials, it is already a great mercy to be able to give them a bag of grain and a place to stay." ”

Even if it is moldy old food, even if it is a haunted deserted house, it is a lifesaver for these beggars.

Jiang Shu walked to the deserted house at the end of the alley and saw the little monkey who slandered him in front of the Lingyin Temple, and the little beggar who was trampled on by her.

She walked in with her feet up and called softly, "Little monkey." ”

The little monkey, who was cooking porridge on a fire, was startled and bounced up like a frightened bird. The little beggar who was sitting on the ground counting the money was also frightened, and hurriedly took the money bag into his arms and protected it to death.

"What are you doing here?"

The little monkey blocked a group of children with his thin body, staring at Jiang Shu and his party vigilantly.

Few people come to Qi'er Lane on weekdays, but now Jiang Shu and them are such a large group of people, combined with the little beggar who ran back in a hurry, the little monkey already understands what is going on in his heart.

He knew he was wrong, but there was no other way to survive.

Seeing that the little monkey and the others were panicked and scared, Jiang Shu tried his best to ease his voice and said, "I'm not here to embarrass you, it's just that there are valuable things in that money bag, and you have to return them." ”

The little monkey felt very funny when he heard this, the money bag is full of money, can it not be valuable?

After looking at what Jiang Shu and the others were wearing, the little monkey said indignantly: "You are from a rich background at a glance, and that money is nothing to you at all, why don't you want to let us go." ”

"I said that there was something important in it, don't you understand?" Tan Yu is not as good-tempered as Jiang Shu.

She sympathized with the little beggars, and could give them all the money, but the earrings that her mother had left her had had to be returned.

"Chasing the clouds, chasing the wind." Yu Zheng commanded.

The two immediately stepped forward and took back Tanyu's money bag from the little beggar who was a thief and guarded his chest.

"What are you doing, a group of adults bullying children, shameless, give us back ......"

A group of little beggars were sad and angry when they saw the money bag in their hands fly away, and they wanted to snatch the money bag from Chaiyun's hand with red eyes.

In desperation, he pulled out the tiger head hook pinned to his back waist and frightened him with a fierce voice: "Don't blame me for being rude if you move your hands and feet again!" ”

A group of beggars were frightened and huddled together and did not dare to move again.

Chaiyun handed the money bag to Tan Yu: "Look at the things, they are still there." ”

Tan Yu poured out all the contents of the bag, and picked out a silver earring from a pile of copper coins and broken silver, as well as a few silver tickets.

Put the earrings and silver tickets back into the money bag and put them away, and Tan Yu gave the little monkey all the silver coins in his hand.

"The earrings are a relic left to me by my mother, and the money bag is embroidered for me by my sister, so I can't give it to you. And the silver ticket, do you know what it is? You can't exchange it at all, and it's just a piece of waste paper when you hold it. ”

When the little monkey and the others heard this, the anger on their faces was less, and they still stared at them vigilantly.

"Although your feelings are pitiful and excusable, it is not right to steal from others after all." Jiang Shu exhorted earnestly.

It is they who have met them, otherwise they would have been beaten again.

But the little monkey couldn't listen to it at all, and said unconvinced: "We just want to live, what's wrong." ”

Jiang Shu opened his mouth, not knowing how to reason with a group of children who had no relatives and no reason, no one to bless them, no one to teach, and they tried their best to reason only for the sake of hunger.

They are indeed right, but what is wrong is the way of the world, those corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

She meant to remind them not to do anything dangerous, or risk losing their lives.

But when you think about it, they can't live in the first place, how can they talk about right and wrong?
