Thirteen, three shameless teenagers
Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty, was the most prosperous city in the world at this time. Buildings are lined up one after another, and people are rubbing shoulders on the streets, a prosperous scene.
A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy came from a distance, his clothes were full of holes, his face was covered with dust, and from a distance, he looked like a beggar sleeping in the open. When I looked closer, the young man had a lazy smile on his face, like a young man in the most luxurious clothes, secretly traveling after a busy schoolwork. The young man's eyebrows are crooked, his lips are thin, and he has a goldfish necklace around his neck, with a smug look on his face, isn't it our Wang Dong?
When you are tired, you can find a tree pit and a wild temple to sleep, and when you are hungry, you will hunt a mountain boar and a hare to roast and eat, which is difficult for Wang Dong, who grew up in Wangjia Village. But the difficulty is not without it, that is: Wang Dong has no money.
Wangjia Village is born from fishing and hunting, and is self-sufficient. When he escaped, he was accompanied by Aunt Jin, and it was useless to ask for money. After sneaking out by himself, it was easy to do in the wilderness, but whenever he encountered villages and towns, he really stumped the smart Wang Dong. Sometimes when he sees snow-white steamed buns on the street stalls, Wang Dong takes them casually, and when he meets a good-tempered person, he sees him in tattered clothes and a child, most of them shake their heads and are not embarrassed. can also meet the hard-hearted and cold-hearted person, and a scolding is considered light, and sometimes it has to be punched and kicked. Wang Dong didn't have much self-knowledge, but after a few months, he knew one thing very clearly, that is, he ran fast and ran away after taking food, and he really didn't meet anyone who could catch up with him. Street vendors often dazzle their eyes, and a black shadow with two steamed buns disappears.
Wang Dong traveled all the way, and the legend of the invisible hungry ghost was spread behind him.
This day finally came to Bianjing, in fact, the four seas were peaceful, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the Song and Jin wars could not afford it. The gate of Bianjing City was wide open, the flow of people was endless, and there were no sergeants to check the city gate, so Wang Dong swaggered into Bianjing.
Bianjing City has a saying that the east is rich and the west is noble, and the south of the city is a place where people in the market gather. Fortune tellers, wild medicine sellers, and showers are both.
Further inside, there is a dilapidated temple, in disrepair, where beggars gather. The beggars gathered in twos and threes to bask in the sun, which seemed to be leisurely.
There were two young men who didn't look like beggars, but they were also resting in the temple. Alone and unsociable, the older one looks at the thick eyebrows and big eyes, loyal and honest, and the smaller one has flickering eyes, looking at it. The two whispered lowly, not knowing what they were discussing.
Wang Dong bumped all the way, in addition to eating, drinking, sleeping and hurrying, occasionally there was a free time, he took out the "strange book" left by his senior brother to watch, the book was actually some strange stories, Wang Dong also watched with relish, that is, it was possible to relieve boredom, but there was no miracle in Wang Dong's heart. Now that he is rarely in the metropolis, he inadvertently sees two different peers, and Wang Dong's naughty heart rises, so he wants to go up to say hello and chat about idle days.
Before Wang Dong stepped forward, the two teenagers walked out of the ancient temple one after the other, looking at the loyal and older children in front, eyebrows and eyes moved a few steps apart, and slowly followed.
Wang Dong looked interesting, and he couldn't help but feel that he followed.
To the north of the city, there is an open space. Further north is the Great Xiangguo Temple. A team of chariots and horses are passing through this place, and it seems that the families of the rich and noble families are traveling, rushing to the Great Xiangguo Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings.
The thick-eyed and big-eyed boy walked with his head down, as if he didn't see the carriage and horse in front of him, and crashed sideways into the sedan chair in the middle. The young man staggered, turned half a circle exaggeratedly, and fell to the ground with an oops.
The convoy came to a sudden stop, and immediately a family member came up to investigate.
The thick-eyebrow young man's eyes were closed, his face was pale, and his body twitched slightly.
There was an exclamation, and a crisp voice came from the sedan chair: Go and see, but did you hit someone?
The thick-eyebrow boy listened to the sound and distinguished, and according to experience, he knew that he had met a soft-hearted one, fell to the ground and was lucky, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down.
The agile young man who followed closely behind seemed to have just discovered the accident in front of him, screamed, and ran a few steps to pounce. Seeing the accomplices on the ground, he was extremely sad, and the young man with thick eyebrows shouted: Big brother, big brother, what's wrong with you, big brother?
The thick-eyebrow boy closed his eyes tightly, as if he only had one breath left, stretched out his hand and pointed to the sedan chair tremblingly, and could no longer speak.
The agile young man was grieved, and he burst into tears like a loved one who had died. The family who came to check with both hands, pointed to the sedan chair and scolded: You people who are rich and unkind, my brother and I depend on each other, even if you live hard, you can survive in the world. How this day you will be broken? The young man sobbed twice and shouted to the sky: "Dad, mother! If the eldest brother has three long and two short, how can I live?"
I saw that the sedan curtain opened first, and two girls, one big and one small, walked out slowly. The big one looked disdainful, and the small one looked panicked.
Looking at the two chicks, Wang Dong's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart, they are still two little beauties.
The eldest girl raised her eyebrows upside down, and said to the little girl next to her who looked like a jade girl holding a bottle for Guanyin Bodhisattva in the painting: Cousin, don't panic, I can hear the sound, it is clear that this scoundrel himself bumped into it, this kind of blackmail money, I can recognize it at a glance.
The little girl's voice was like a yellow warbler out of the valley, crisp and beautiful: Cousin, don't talk nonsense, you see they are so miserable, how can they be disguised? I think our family has accidentally touched someone, so hurry up and give them some silver taels, and take them to the doctor.
When the young man with bright eyebrows heard this, he cried more and more miserably: There is no heavenly reason, I killed my brother, and slandered us for blackmailing, where is the justice in this world.
There were already countless pedestrians around, accusing the woman of being wrong. Even the family came up to plead for peace of mind, and the girl who was called cousin had a red face and trembled with anger.
Wang Dong was happy in his heart, spit and wiped his eyes, staggered away from everyone, pounced on the thick-eyebrow young man, and cried: Big brother!
The thick-eyebrow boy trembled slightly, and secretly said that he could see a living ghost today, but unfortunately the "injury" was too serious, and he opened his eyes slightly but couldn't speak.
Wang Dong turned his head again, his eyes were red, and he cried to the agile young man and asked: Second brother, eldest brother, 。。。。。。。。。。 Big brother, what's wrong with him.
The smart young man was stunned: 。。。。。。。。。。 Third brother?
Wang Dong admired it in his heart, and then cried: You two are good, there is no rice in the pot at home, you pour it out to play. My mother was sick in bed again, and I hadn't seen you for a long time, so I asked me to come out to look for it, second brother, I'm hungry.
Wang Dongyi was not paying attention and told the truth. It's just that the spectators, seeing Wang Dong in rags, were even more pitiful, and they blamed the older girl for not it.
The cousin also panicked, doubting her own judgment.
At this time, the thick-eyebrow young man slowly opened his eyes and said weakly: Second brother and third brother, don't be sad, I can't die, big brother.
After saying that, the young man supported the ground with his hands, struggled to get up, and shouted: I'm fine, don't let these rich people see the jokes. After saying that, his body shook and he was about to fall again.
The agile boy and Wang Dong supported them at the same time, and the three of them slowly stood up and walked out of the crowd tragically.
The beautiful girl hurriedly caught up, with a small hand, withdrew the gold bracelet on her snow-white wrist, and said timidly to Wang Dong: This 。。。。。。。。。 Little brother, today is not for me, this gold bracelet is also worth some silver, take your brother to see a doctor, where is your home, I will send someone to take care of your brother's injury.
Wang Dong raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand, knocked the gold bracelet to the ground, and said sharply: Although we are poor, it is not food that comes from us!
The eldest brother and the second brother's body trembled slightly, the eldest brother coughed non-stop, and the second brother said with a straight face: Third brother, look at the eldest brother's injury, and then think about the mother, it's a big deal that you and my brother will do hard labor in the future, just pay back the money.
The beautiful girl who was called her cousin bent down and picked up the gold bracelet, and handed it to Wang Dong with an apologetic face: Little brother, I know that you have ambition, I also blamed you before, this gold bracelet is my sister's heart, you should accept it.
Wang Dong took the gold bracelet, threw herself into the girl's arms, and rubbed the girl's body with snot and tears: Sister, you are not a bad person, and I also blame you. After that, he tilted his head in the girl's arms, afraid that he would never leave.
The expressions of the two brothers were slightly stiff, and they secretly admired it in their hearts.
The handsome girl was hugged by Wang Dong, and her face couldn't help but turn red, but in a blink of an eye, she saw Wang Dong's clothes full of holes and innocent eyes, and her heart softened, and she said: Go quickly, don't delay your brother's medical treatment.
Wang Dong still refused to let go, the second brother scolded his mother again and again in his heart, stepped forward, and pulled Wang Dong away forcefully, "Third brother, it is important to see a doctor with the eldest brother", and then pinched Wang Dong fiercely.
Wang Dong was in pain, and his tears really fell, so he had to thank the beautiful girl for his kindness, and the smart young man supported his brother and left slowly.
People looked at the thin backs of the three children, sighed, and did not disperse for a long time.
