The sky turned dark, and before the city gate was closed, a group of beggars walked to the south of the city in twos and threes, and Shen Chasing Xing Linglong followed from afar, seemingly a young couple who went out of the city at night to seek excitement.

After a while, there were some adult beggars in the team that originally only had little beggars, all of them in their thirties and forties, all of them with big shoulders and round waists, and their faces were full of red light, and it seemed that the food should be good. Compared with the yellow-skinned little beggars, in addition to their clothes, these old beggars look like rich and noble.

After walking for about ten miles, a large manor appeared in front of me. The exterior is not very ornate, except that there is a low fence to block the perimeter.

Seeing that a group of beggars had entered the garden, Shen Chaixing and Linglong'er also tried to get closer. As soon as he walked in, two beggars with dog-beating sticks jumped out from behind the bushes, blocking the two of them, one of them was quite handsome, holding a toothpick, and his eyes kept looking at Linglong'er's undulating figure in the mountains obscenely, as if he could see her through. Another person said fiercely: "This place is a private manor, idlers are not allowed to enter, you two better go to another place to make love!"

Linglong'er crossed her waist and said: "What kind of private manor, I obviously saw a bunch of beggars entering, could it be that others can't enter the place where beggars can enter?"

The fierce-looking beggar suddenly looked cruel and said, "If you must enter, I will not stop you." It's just that the two of you have fine skin and tender meat must be the most suitable for those wolf dogs! It's much better than those meatless little cubs!"

As he spoke, as if he were talking, there was a sudden barking of dogs inside, and it seemed that there was more than one, but at least six or seven large dogs.

Suddenly, a thin figure came out of the fence, and after stumbling out, he saw the dense forest not far ahead, and ran there desperately.

When the vicious beggar saw it, he shouted angrily: "Damn, I want to run again, this time I have to let the wolf dogs bite you rabbit cubs!"

Shen Chaixing turned to Linglong and said, "Let's go and have a look." ”

"I'm a little tired, I'm waiting for you here, you can go by yourself!" Linglong'er said lazily.

Shen Chaixing didn't make a sound, and ran to the woods by himself.

Seeing that everyone had left, the handsome beggar smiled and said, "You still know the goods and know the master's specialty." With that, he skimmed the toothpick and reached out to touch Linglong'er.

Linglong'er smiled and shook her head, the beggar suddenly realized, took out a large ingot of silver from his arms, shook it in front of Linglong, and said, "Brother also has a specialty in this area!"

Linglong'er smiled charmingly, pointed to another wood, twisted her waist, and walked forward. The beggar followed closely, seeing that there was a certain rhythm implied in Linglong'er's waist twisting, his heart was already crisp, and his saliva almost flowed out, so he hurriedly ran to Lou Linglong'er's waist swinging from side to side.

Linglong'er seemed to be walking slowly, but she couldn't catch up, and after a while, she entered the dark woods.

Shen Chasing Xingchai picked up a few stones from the ground, hid them in his hands, and followed the beggar not far away, secretly preparing for it.

Soon after entering the forest, the barking dog stopped barking, and the crying of a child could be heard in the distance.

I saw a group of wolf dogs panting and drooling around a little beggar, who looked like he was seven or eight years old, holding his head with both hands, and was crying in a low voice, as if he was afraid that the sound would be too loud and provoke the vicious dog to bite.

The wicked beggar approached and said viciously: "You still dare to run? The one who ran two days ago was broken two legs, and you dare to run again. It's just that I can make an example of you when I go back and eat you. Then he dragged the boy back.

Shen Chaixing saw that the child was not in danger for the time being, so he hid behind and secretly followed, wanting to see what was going on. After all, human life is at stake, and he can't just kill people with just a few words.

Who knew that just after walking a few steps, the group of dogs barked wildly at the hiding place where Shen Chasing Xing was hiding. Shen Chaixing knew that it was enough to smell his own smell, so he was busy constricting his pores, and suddenly there was no smell at all. The wicked beggar relented, and returned with the child and the wolf-dogs.

When he came to the place where he was sentry just now, the evil beggar shouted twice, and when he saw that no one answered, he laughed to himself: "Xiao San'er is not idle all day long, and he will put a fucking shot when he comes out to sentry." It's no wonder that those two chicks just now were actually doing that business, no wonder, in Jiujiang, who doesn't know that the disciples of the Beggars Gang are all rich people with bulging wallets?"

Shen Chaixing waited in place for a while, only to see Linglong'er coming out of the forest as if nothing happened, Shen Chaixing said in a low voice: "I haven't figured out the good or bad yet, let's do it first, is it reckless?"

Regarding Shen Chaixing's implicit criticism, Linglong'er pouted: "You didn't see the way he looked at me just now, and when you saw it, you knew if he should die." ”

"You're not afraid of getting your hands dirty. Shen Chaixing muttered in a low voice, leading Linglong'er over the fence and going inside.

When I entered the manor, I saw that the weeds were overgrown, and the snake-shaped rats could be seen everywhere, which really showed the true character of the beggars, and there were only a few big houses in the distance, which were brightly lit and seemed to be inhabited.

Shen Chaixing took Linglong'er to pick the clean ground and zigzagged forward, but when he was about to reach the house, he smelled a sour smell coming from him, obviously there was garbage everywhere.

Shen Chasing Xing Yungong held his breath, and Linglong'er covered her nose.

The two went to the nearest room and peeked closely, only to see what appeared to be a workshop, surrounded by crutches, dog-beating sticks, and wooden carts with small wheels. There was an old beggar who was making something. Shen Chaixing took a closer look, and it turned out that he was making a prosthetic leg.

At this time, a young beggar walked into the house and said to the old man: "Old Zhangtou, I'll get a small cart and use it tonight." ”

Lao Zhangtou sighed and said: "It's for the fat boy who ran away that day, his leg has just been cut off for two days, so he should raise it for a while and then work on the street." With his half-dead appearance, how can he ask for money?"

"Elder Lu said, only this miserable situation can get the money? When he died, he dragged the dead body to ask for the coffin money. The young beggar relayed Elder Lu's words without sympathy, perhaps, seeing too much ugliness here, the original victim gradually became a victim.

The young beggar took the cart and walked out. Lao Zhangtou sighed again, walked to the side to get dry tobacco, and remembered with a rattling iron chain, Shen Chaixing saw that one of Lao Zhangtou's feet was locked to one side by the chain.

Shen Chaixing stopped peeking and followed the young beggar to another room and peeked from the outside. I saw the young beggar put the small cart on the ground, and put a young man with his legs cut off on the board, and let the young man learn to walk on the ground with both hands.

The legless boy obviously didn't heal from his injuries, he gritted his teeth and sweated in pain every time he moved, but he didn't dare to make a sound, he should be extremely scared.

On the other side, there was an old beggar leading a few little beggars to revolve around a dummy, and his mouth was shouting words such as "Grandpa and grandma are good", and after three circles, each person stole something from the dummy's clothes, and only one child did not steal it, and was immediately slapped by the older beggar under the command of the old beggar.

Linglong'er was angry when she saw it, and was about to take action, but was stopped by Shen Chaixing with a wave of her hand.

The two sneaked to a room, but heard bursts of women's cries, and hurriedly peeked in, and it turned out that there were more than a dozen women locked up inside, ranging in age from ten to thirty.

The two of them didn't know why, but they heard a conversation coming from the room next to them, so they eavesdropped with bated breath.

I saw a middle-aged beggar and a young beggar drinking and chatting.

The middle-aged beggar said: "Come on, come on, you have made great achievements recently, and you have also broken out of the reputation of 'Jade Swallow' in the rivers and lakes, I am happy for you, you have to serve Aunt Mei well, don't disobey her wishes, although she is much older than you, but she is the leader of our beggar gang after all!"

The young beggar nodded yes, poured wine for his master, and asked, "Why didn't Aunt Mei take me to Beijing this time?

The old beggar smiled and said, "You are my apprentice, so I will tell you." The 100,000 taels of silver were divided into two letters, one of which was to honor the iron edge of the eagle's talon gate. Another silver donation. Fengyang, Anhui Province was flooded again, flooding a lot of arable land. ”

"I can understand filial piety to the Eagle Claw Gate, after all, our beggar gang has not been in trouble so far, and we have to rely on the people of the Eagle Claw Gate to take care of it, otherwise there will be a lot of cases if it is really investigated. I don't understand the donations? We are asking for money from others, so why should we give it out?" asked the young beggar, puzzled.

"Good apprentice, you are so young. The old beggar smiled and said, "How do you think the name 'Benevolent and Righteous Beggars' came from? Besides, Fengyang is Emperor Zhu's hometown, and this money is not spent in vain." He lowered his voice and said: "I heard that Emperor Zhu is now interested in eliminating the martial arts forces, let's spend some money, and Lao Zhu may have escaped the catastrophe for the sake of joining the beggar gang in his early years." ”

Saying this, the old beggar was a little distraught, and lost the interest in drinking and chatting, so he ordered: "You go and see this batch of goods again, and it will be loaded tomorrow, but there will be no more accidents." It turned out that the Mei gang leader was handed over to Xiao San'er, but he didn't distinguish between public and private, and he actually had feelings for those goods, and as a result, one of them committed suicide, who do you say will compensate for this loss? You must know that in those mountainous areas, there are too many singles, so the whole family is willing to borrow money to buy our goods, which is in short supply. Now that your abduction skills have surpassed Xiao San'er, next time you are working hard to let Aunt Mei tell you how to abduct a child. ”

At this time, a beggar knocked on the door and came in: "Elder Qiqi Lu, the initiation ceremony of the first generation of disciples is ready, please be there." ”

Elder Lu snorted and said to the "Jade Swallow": "You go next door to see the goods, and come back." Then he went to a big house. Only then did Shen Chaixing and Linglonger know that those women were all "goods" that were abducted and ready to be sold in the mountains.

Elder Lu came to the hall, and Shen Chaixing secretly followed. Looking inside, it was crowded with people and brightly lit.

I saw a portrait of the incense candles in the hall, with the words "Benevolent and Righteous Beggars Helping Ancestor Fan Dan" written on it, Shen Chaixing thought to himself, it turned out that the beggar gang really had an ancestral master, but this Fan Dan had not heard of it. The four young beggars on the side stood on one side, and they should be a few people who officially joined the first bag disciples of the beggar gang today, and everyone looked solemn. There was a group of children around, ranging in age from five or six to seven or eight. Two other children were pinned to the ground, one of whom was the one who had just escaped, and he didn't know what to do. In addition, there were dozens of disciples in the room with four or five pockets on their backs. In the middle of the hall, a furnace was burning brightly, and several iron sticks were inserted in it.
