Early the next morning, Xiao Jiu obediently took his sister and the other beggars in the yard to the place where they were yesterday, and sure enough, when they went out, they saw that Feng Mazi, who came yesterday, was actually waiting outside their door.

It seems that yesterday he said that he would ignore them, but if they didn't go, the people of the Spirit Snake Gang would definitely arrest them.

Hum! What those Jin Wuwei said was good, let them choose, but they still didn't give them a chance to choose, they just didn't know what His Royal Highness the King of Shu wanted them to do, I hope they didn't do any hard work! He wasn't afraid, but his sister was too young.

After they came out, Feng Mazi didn't say anything, just watched them go out and walked to the place where the notice was posted yesterday.

When they arrived at the position, the carriage was already waiting here, a total of two carriages, and as the beggars around them rushed over, they quickly crowded into the two carriages.

Xiao Jiu took a closer look, and almost all the beggars around him came, and several older ones were like this.

Everyone was crowded into the two carriages, and the smell was similar, and no one disliked the bad smell, but it was warmer to squeeze, after all, the weather was still a little cold in the morning.

The carriage staggered towards the West City Gate, and when he arrived at the door, Xiao Jiu found that there was already a long queue of carriages at the gate to leave the city, and these carriages were pulled on the same as them, all of them were beggars.

The team out of the city dragged far away, and with so many people together, Xiao Jiu was not afraid.

When he was about to reach his destination, Xiao Jiu saw that some homeless people with luggage had appeared in the distance, but when they arrived at the industrial area, they were divided into two groups with him.

When they were far away, the driver began to shout: "Get off, get off, get off the bus and line up next to it." ”

Xiao Jiu skillfully jumped out of the carriage, then carried his sister out of the carriage, and then walked to the queue next to him.

There are dressed soldiers here to maintain order.

Xiao Jiu noticed that the beggars were divided into six teams, and then everyone was slowly moving forward.

In front of them were six large wooden huts, and in front of them were tables with people sitting behind them who didn't know what they were doing.

The team moved forward little by little, and it wasn't until Xiao Jiu arrived at the table that he realized that sitting behind the table was a scholar in a scribe's shirt, a scholar.

The smell on his body was not good, but the other party didn't seem to have any disgusted expression, but looked at the two of them first, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Xiao Jiu." Honest answer.

"Last name?"

"Nope." Xiao Jiu shook his head.

"What about you?" The other party looked at the skinny little girl who was holding Xiao Jiu in front of him again.

"Little Ten." The little girl replied, and then "sucked" and re-inhaled the snot that had flowed to her mouth.

"Where do you remember?" The other party looked at Xiao Jiu again and asked.

"As far as Chang'an's is concerned, I remember Chang'an's, she was about five or six months old, I picked it up outside Chang'an City." Xiao Jiu replied.

His hand holding the pen paused, as if it was straining, and his knuckles were a little white, but they quickly returned to normal, Xiao Jiu didn't know why he was like this.

"Your Highness said that if you don't have a surname, Your Highness will give you the surname Li, are you willing?" The scholar raised his head and looked at him, took a deep breath and asked.

Xiao Jiu was stunned for a moment, could he ...... Can you have a surname with His Highness? He doesn't care, he can have a surname, but his sister is still too young to live without a surname.

"Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you, Your Highness." Xiao Jiu hurriedly said.

The scholar glanced at him again, and would he still use honorifics? "You use this honorific title quite well, who did you learn it from?" While asking, the scholar took out two wooden plaques with the numbers 86 and 87 from the side, and then began to write on them with a brush.

"I heard it myself, if you speak well, you can get more food, otherwise I won't be able to support her." Xiao Jiu scratched his head a little embarrassed, no one had praised him yet.

The scholar didn't ask, but silently wrote two names on the two wooden signs: Li Xiaojiu, Li Xiaoshi.

"This is your name, this is Li, and this is Xiao Jiu. Your sister Xiao Shi doesn't look like a girl's name, I changed it for her, it's called Xiao Shi, a poem of poetry. The scholar took two wooden cards and explained to Xiao Jiu, oh, it should be called Li Xiaojiu now.

"Xiaoshi, Li Xiaoshi, this is good! Thank you, Your Excellency! Li Xiaojiu's face was happy, and he hurriedly bent down and saluted.

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Li Xiaoshi also saluted with Li Xiaojiu.

"Well, take these two signs, with your names on them, and follow them to the back." The scholar nodded and pointed to the back.

Picking up the two wooden cards, Li Xiaojiu tried to memorize the words on them, in addition to the names they had just given them, there were also two strange words written with a brush, but he didn't recognize them.

When he entered the wooden house behind, he heard some screams, Xiao Jiu was immediately startled, but there was already a middle-aged man waiting for him here, seeing his appearance, he said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, it's bathing you inside, there are too many dirty things on your body, if you gather together, it will be easy to produce a plague, your sister...... Sick? ”

"Hmm......" Li Xiaojiu nodded busily.

"I'm Lang Zhong, then she has to take a bath, separate from here, this side is a woman, you go this way. After coming out for a while, after eating, you came to the hospital to find me, and I will prescribe medicine for you, remember? If you can't find it in the medical hall, you can ask someone, or look at a red gourd, which is very conspicuous. The middle-aged man said with a smile.

The gourd is a symbol of Langzhong in ancient times, just like the modern red cross logo, Li Ke naturally used it directly, but it was painted red, and there is an idiom "hanging pot to help the world" is how it comes.

"Ah, okay...... She's too small, though. Li Xiaojiu was a little hesitant, he had also taken a bath, but it was in the river outside the city, and he couldn't take a bath twice a year.

And Xiaoshi is rarely washed, that is, he scrubbed it when he was a child.

"It's okay, there's a maid inside to help her wash." The middle-aged man nodded.

Li Xiaojiu hesitated, but nodded and agreed, when he came here, he had no right to resist, and bent down to explain a few words to Li Xiaoshi, although she was only three years old, but Li Xiaoshi had also experienced human hardships and was very sensible, she nodded obediently, and then walked in through the door next to her.

Li Xiaojiu also followed into the cubicle, and after coming in, he saw someone guarding here.

"Take off your clothes and throw them into this basket." Seeing him come in, the other party ordered directly.

There were already a lot of tattered dirty clothes in there, and he honestly stripped off all the clothes on his body, and he was not too shy, there was nothing to be ashamed of, and he ran bare-ass when he had no clothes to wear.

Throwing all the clothes inside, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "What if I can't find my clothes for a while?" ”

"Your Highness is merciful, and I will have new clothes for you in a moment." This person was happy, and arched his hand in the direction of Shu Wangzhuang.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Xiaojiu was clever, and he also thanked Li Ke, and then walked inside.

When he came in, he knew why he had just heard the screams, someone was rubbing the beggar's back, and the other party didn't know what it was, but it could make a lot of bubbles on his body.

However, because they don't take a bath all year round, their bodies are scabbed, and even if there are bubbles, they have to rub hard.
