After waiting for a few breaths, seeing that there was no response from inside, Hong Chen kicked the door open. Walking in, as soon as he put down Qin Hongyu and Xiao Bao'er on his back, a few shouts suddenly sounded in the dark shed, and Hong Chen vaguely saw a few people jumping out of the corner, raising sticks and sticks to hit him together, and hit back casually, and knocked them to the ground with a few ping-pong strokes.

"Sorry, I thought there was no one here, I just wanted to come in and sit for a while. Hong Chen didn't take it too seriously, he just wanted these people not to hurt Qin Hongyu and Xiao Bao'er, and hurriedly explained, "I have money, so I will take this sister-in-law and her doll to live for one night." ”

At this time, a man got up from the ground and asked, "How much do you give?"

Hong Chen touched it in his arms, took out two pieces of broken silver and said, "Two pieces of broken silver, is it enough?" In fact, I knew in my heart that this shed belonged to the cheapest residence in Tianjing, and it cost almost ten cents a day, but it was also a big expense for the homeless.

Someone else took a sickle and lit a lamp, and the wick was very short, and the lamp oil was very small, and the shed was dimly lit. Only then did Hong Chen see that the people in the shed were only three half-grown children in their teens, several years younger than himself, all dressed in tatters, and their hair and face were also sloppy, so he asked, "Are you all together?" Who is this money for?"

The child who spoke first was also the shortest of the three, with a short and square face, thick eyebrows and small eyes, and a look that he was not afraid of people, and he stretched out his hand to the tall child who had not spoken, and said, "He is the boss, just give it to him." ”

Hong Chen went to the tall boy and gave him the silver: "Give you money." ”

The tall boy didn't answer, but asked warily, "Who are you?"

Hong Chen was about to explain, and the child who had just lit the lamp suddenly said: "Don't care, we have the money to get it, this silver is enough for us to buy a knife!"

The tall boy seemed to think that what he said was reasonable, so he didn't ask Hong Chen any questions, stepped forward and grabbed the silver in his hand, took two steps back, and said, "I will allow you to stay for one night, and leave early tomorrow morning." ”

"Thank you. ”

Hong Chen arched his hand, turned around and helped Qin Hongyu and Xiao Bao'er to rest.

There were no beds in the shed, the only furniture was a table with a lamp, and only a few straw mats were spread on the ground, barely a place to shelter from the wind and rain and not freeze to death. But Qin Hongyu has been depressed since she came down from the back mountain, Xiao Bao'er cried halfway and was tired and tired, no one cared about the environment, and fell asleep quickly.

Seeing that the two were asleep, Hong Chen looked at the three children again and asked, "Are you brothers?"

The short, square-faced child replied, "That's my eldest brother, that's my second brother, and I'm the third." ”

Hong Chen saw that the appearance of the three people was not similar, the third ugly is not good, although the eldest is a child, he has a heroic temperament, and the second child is beautiful in terms of facial features, thinking that he is not a brother, and asked: "What about the adults in your family? What are your names." ”

"There are no adults in our family. The third child said, "My name is ......"

The boss interrupted: "Third child, don't say so much when you see people." The second child also said: "That's it, who knows what this person does? Dressed cleanly, it doesn't look like he is running away from the famine, and he came to us with a woman and a child in the dark, for fear that he would steal someone else's wife and be chased and beaten." The third child said: "But I think his martial arts are very powerful, we have learned kung fu, and we have never beaten him." ”

Hong Chen saw that the eldest and second were very guarded, and only the third child was willing to get close to him, so he looked at him and said, "The kung fu I just used is called wolf tooth fist, if you want to learn, I can teach you." ”

The third child said: "Wow, wow, wow!"

The eldest and second were also instantly moved, but they were still on guard against Hong Chen. The second brother said: "This brother, I don't know what kind of sect and sect you are? The second child said again: "Then do you work for the imperial court, are you a soldier or an official?" Hong Chen shook his head: "I have nothing to do with the imperial court." ”

Lao Daodao: "People in the martial arts, regard martial arts as their own secrets, where are you willing to teach people casually, you are obviously fooling us." ”

Hong Chen said: "I just looked at your third brother and wanted to teach him some self-defense skills." I just heard that you want to buy knives, and I don't know what you want to do, but the use of knives is always dangerous. ”

The third brother said excitedly: "My two brothers and I want to be bandits!

The eldest shouted: "Third brother, what are you talking nonsense? Beware of this person reporting to the official and arresting us!" The second brother said: "Don't listen to our third brother's nonsense, we bought knives because we want to learn to kill pigs and chickens, and in the future, we can open a meat stall and become meat butchers." ”

Hong Chen frowned and said, "Yes, there's nothing wrong with being a butcher, what kind of bandits are you going to do? But the third child said: "Damn! What I want to do is not that kind of little thief, I want to be the best thief in the world, so that those officers and soldiers who scare us all day long will be afraid when they hear my name!"

Hong Chen thought in his heart, it turned out that these three children were thinking about getting knives to be bandits all day long, this is not a good thing, since they have encountered it, they should be persuaded to get lost and return: "The bandits kill people and set fires, and they do bad things, and if you become a bandit, you are bad people." We must be good people, not bad people. It's not your ability to make others afraid of you, but it's not your ability to make others like you and praise you. Then he looked at the second child: "I heard you talk, like you have read a book, why should you be a bandit with them." ”

Before the second child could answer, the third child shouted: "Can't you be a thief if you have read a book?" When you have read a lot of books today, you can't do bad things? He is the big bad guy!" The second child hurriedly covered his mouth: "You can't talk nonsense, let people listen, this is a big crime of killing the head." ”

"Today is indeed a bad person. Hong Chen said, "But if he does bad things, it's not a reason for you to do bad things too." The world is so big that there are no surprises, and I have heard that some people even like to eat dung and perform everywhere for others to see, and others will reward him with money. Are you going to eat with you?"

The third child was stunned for a moment and said, "The dung is so stinky, he eats it too?"

Hong Chen said, "Who knows why he eats?"

The boss said: "I think that person doesn't like to eat dung at all, he just wants to eat dung for people to watch by performing, so as to make money." The dung is unpalatable, but the money is very fragrant. ”

Hong Chen nodded: "I think so too." So you can't just watch others do bad things and have a good time, and run away to do bad things yourself. What's the difference between that and emulating someone who eats?"
