Chapter 5 Three Living Treasures
Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoQianxiang City, a medium-sized city with a radius of ten miles, thousands of refugees gathered at the gate of Xicheng, anxiously waiting for something.
The golden rooster dawned, the morning sun was rising, and three bells rang out from the city gate building, and the city gate opened with a bang.
Rows of guards in armor poured out of the city gate, checking the luggage of those who wanted to enter the city one by one, and Uncle Zhang and his party were also among them.
Zhang Bao and his wife took their five children out to escape the famine, and it has been two months.
The night before, Zhang Bao and his wife were lying on the grass and began to count the remaining dry food, discussing what to do next.
When Zhang Bao and the others entered the city, he left the group to see if he could do some small work and earn some money for rations. Jiang Yun took two girls to beg on the side of the road.
Their method is only one word, steal!
When people are pushed to the point of destitude, they can do anything.
For this way, at the beginning, the three little guys were also very unfamiliar, not fast, too much movement, often seen through.
Zhang Bao and his wife had no choice but to be cheeky and come forward to intercede.
After going back, Zhang Bao didn't blame them too much, on the contrary, he also taught them hand in hand.Jiang Yun thought that children had the habit of petty theft since they were young, and when they grew up, they didn't want to turn the sky upside down, so he resolutely disagreed, and connected Zhang Bao to reprimand them together, and scolded them so much that he was bloody.
There is no way, the family is too poor, if you don't do this, you will starve to death sooner or later, and if you die, then there will be nothing.
After two months, the hands and feet of the three little guys became more and more proficient, and they also learned to divide labor in a team and take care of each other.
On this day, the three brothers wandered around Qianxiang City, looking for a target.
The three of them were all dressed in shabby clothes, exuding an unpleasant stench, which made people avoid them, but the three living treasures were not ashamed, but swaggered through the city, ignoring the disgusting eyes of others.
Qianxiang City is not small, and there are many people in the market, but most of them are begging refugees, and those who really do business are very few, and there is no one in ten.
Zhang Daniu held his round belly, took out two hot steamed buns from his arms, and threw them to the two boys who walked towards him, and the steamed buns were not stolen from the unlucky ghost.
"What should I do? This time it's all peers, I haven't seen a single gentleman."
"Me too, all the beggars in my eyes are there, and I don't have a target." Tianhe sighed and ate the steamed buns.
Tianchen didn't say a word, and didn't care if there was any peculiar smell in the steamed bun in the arms of the big cow, he ate a fine light after swallowing the dates, licking his fingers, and he was still unsatisfied.
"This city doesn't look small, why is the market less than a hundred feet? It's too small." Tianchen looked at the downtown in front of him and was a little dissatisfied.
"Normal, we came all the way, and there were not one or two cities bigger than here, but most of them were not a few people. Tianhe swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth and spoke.
"Well, speaking of which, this bazaar is quite big, but if it goes on like this, the people in the city will also be gone. After Zhang Daniu finished speaking, he patted the dust on his body, and was about to walk back and leave the market.
"Wait, look there, that guy looks like he's got a lot of oil."
Tianchen stared blankly at a certain stall in the bazaar, where a few people were buying things and bargaining.
"Well, yes, but the two adults around him look like they're his personal bodyguards, which is a bit tricky."
Zhang Daniu followed Tianchen's gaze, his eyes lit up, and then he saw two adult men who had been following behind the fat man, both of whom were dressed as martial artists, Zhang Daniu remembered the scene of the Tianjia brothers being hanged and beaten, and couldn't help but be a little scared in his heart.
"What your father said, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get a tiger! This kid also has a personal bodyguard, he must be very rich, and if he does this big ticket, he will be able to eat well for a while in the future, how about it?" Tianchen looked at the two brothers with bright eyes.
"Tianchen is right, if you want to do it, you can do it, big bull, if you are afraid, stay here, if we miss, you go back and find someone to save us." Tianhe hesitated, but readily agreed.
"I'll go too, and now among a few people, I have the largest amount of food, and I eat a lot, of course, I have to exert more strength. Zhang Daniu was no longer afraid when he heard this, but stretched out two fingers with a solemn expression, and said to the two of them.
"It's only two meals, that's all you can do."
"You just let go of your belly and eat, it won't kill you."
The three brothers looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
The sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, and the flow of people in the city is surging, and the excitement is abnormal.
The eldest son of the He family is in a good mood today, and wants to go out to have a look, the wife of the He family is very worried, and finally the son of the He family takes the two martial artists hired by the family, and the wife is a little more relieved.
As soon as He Gongzi went out, he wandered around the only existing bazaar in the city.
This son is not the kind of singing and dancing, do not ask about the world's affairs, the family invited two teaching gentlemen for him, so that he is full of sage books, very smart.
The son of the He family took two bodyguards, walked past one vendor after another, and found that the goods of these people were basically the same as the last time he saw them, it seems that Qianxiang City is becoming more and more depressed, there are not many people buying and selling things, these vendors are not even bothering to update their goods, and the market is full of begging refugees, and the whole street is filled with a sour smell, which makes him a little unbearable.
He Gongzi was a little disappointed, so he planned to stop here today and wanted to go home, but at this time, something happened.
I saw a pair of little beggars who came to him at some point, stretching out some black hands, with a pitiful face, begging him for something.
Seeing that they were pitiful, He Gongzi's heart moved and he wanted to take out a few copper plates from his arms and give them to him, but as soon as his hand was raised, he thought of the advice of his family, and then looked at the number of thousands of beggars on the street, and hesitated a little.
If this shows a little wealth, these beggars may have to tear down their skeletons before they let him leave the bazaar.
These two beggars are also very human, He Gongzi's actions have exposed the hiding place of money, one of the small beggars couldn't bear it, and an arrow stepped up, pounced on He Gongzi, and touched his waist for a while, and really found more than a dozen copper coins.
These dozen copper coins jingled and fell to the ground, instantly attracting the attention of several beggars, who planned to rush up, but they were blocked by two martial artist guards.
He Gongzi didn't care about this little money, but the disgusting sour smell made him unbearable, and in disgust, he pushed the beggar to the ground.
"Bang", the little beggar didn't pay attention, his feet slipped, and his forehead hit the bluestone bricks on the ground.
"My good brother, what's wrong with you? Wake up quickly, if something happens to you, how can I explain to my dead parents." The beggar held the wounded little beggar in his arms, shaking and crying hoarsely, full of sorrow.
In the bazaar, everyone couldn't help but change their faces when they heard this, and they all looked over.
The beggars in the distance couldn't help but look over, some were full of curiosity, some felt the same way, and shed tears, and some were silent, the corners of their mouths twitching, and sneering.
These two beggars are naturally Tianhe and Tianchen, two living treasure brothers.
At this moment, He Dagongzi had a gloomy face, staring at the two beggar brothers in front of him, knowing that he had been falsely accused, and he felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart.
I didn't use any force when I pushed the little beggar, why was the other party so badly injured? I happened to turn around and hit my forehead to the ground, which is also too weird.
He Gongzi clearly wrote the word "wronged" on his face, but the other party was an expert, and the play was like a real thing, He Gongzi really couldn't do anything about the other party for a while.
"This little brother seems to be seriously injured, why don't you go back with me?"
"Get out of here, you murderer! My brother is out of breath now, and you're still here to fake mercy, he's just starving, and you can't bear to kill him! Why are you rich sons so ruthless, my poor brother?"
Tianhe's eyes were full of tears, with a look of grief and indignation, he scolded He Dagongzi, holding the "seriously injured" Tianchen was shaking constantly, that scene, that look, it was really humiliating not to sing on stage.
"Or Uncle Guo, please go home and take a run, call the doctor over, and show this little brother." Grand Master He frowned and suggested to a martial artist beside him.
"Okay."
This martial artist is a middle-aged man in his forties, but he has been in the rivers and lakes for decades, and Tianhe's little tricks can't hide from He Dagongzi, how can he not see the strangeness in it.
As soon as the middle-aged man turned around, he wanted to stride away, Tianhe was afraid of the doctor's arrival, and saw through the little trick of smearing pig's blood on his forehead that day, and his heart was weak for a while, and he stopped them.
"Stop, do you want to go back and move the rescuers? Tell you, there is no explanation today, and none of the three of you are allowed to leave."
"I just want to ask the doctor at home to treat this brother, his life is at stake." He Dagongzi explained.
"I won't believe you."
"And what are you going to do?" He Dagongzi was very helpless.
"I look at my brother's body myself, you take the money, I will find a doctor myself." Tianhe said with a sinking face.
Okay, here comes the theme.
The son of the He family thought secretly in his heart, but he still pretended to be puzzled and asked, "How much do you want?"
"Twenty taels of silver." Tianhe stretched out two fingers and said with a resolute face.
The faces of the beggars in the bazaar changed dramatically, and they were in an uproar.
You must know that even if you are a perennial farmer, you can harvest five taels of silver at the end of the year, and it is a blessing to the heavens.
"Isn't it too high?" Grand Master He frowned, then quickly regained his composure and asked rhetorically.
"My brother is dying, in addition to asking for a doctor, there are medical expenses, mental frustration, increased food, etc., in case he is not cured and ends up with dementia, I will have to support him every day, this money is already cheap for you." Tianhe hugged the motionless Tianchen tightly and shed tears.
"Can you reduce it?"
"No way!"
"But I only have three taels of silver on me, if you want it, if you don't want it, throw it away, I'll leave, I won't give it away.
He Dagongzi took out a piece of loose silver from his sleeve robe and threw it on Tianchen's body, regardless of whether Tianhe agreed or not, he left without looking back, and the two great martial artists answered to open the way for him.
Those beggars blocking the intersection originally had some intention of emulating the two Tianhe brothers, and when they heard this, they looked at the two middle-aged martial artists again, and they all shrank back one by one.
Tianhe put away the broken silver, hugged Tianchen and cried again, causing everyone to look over.
At this moment, a little beggar was pushed and moved, and accidentally pounced forward, and happened to fall in front of He Dagongzi.
Seeing the two menacing middle-aged martial artists slowly approaching, the little beggar stood up in some panic, patted the dust on his body, smiled apologetically at He Dagongzi, retreated into the crowd, and disappeared.
Seeing that there was no accident, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left the bazaar, while Tianhe picked up Tianchen and quickly moved to the periphery of the crowd, crying and crying, but the sound became smaller and smaller, until they reached the corner of a certain house, and their figures flashed and disappeared.
"Hey, this harvest is not small, I didn't expect this fat boy to be so rich." Zhang Daniu threw a splendid money bag in his hand and said happily.
It turned out that the little beggar who pounced just now was Zhang Da Niu.This looks honest and honest.,In fact, he is also a bad stomach.The head is half a head taller than his peers.Strong body,In terms of strength alone,Two Tianchen are not his opponents.But he has a fatal problem.That is, extremely timid.,At this point,Tianchen, who is known as the "big troublemaker", can be his grandfather again.
"Hehe, my vision is good, this kid is also a thief, but where is our opponent, this time I didn't get beaten, and I made eighteen taels, which is really a big profit." Tianhe also said with a smile on his face.
"That guy must still have a money bag on him, but he doesn't know where to hide it, so it's hard to start." Tianchen touched his somewhat swollen forehead and said unwillingly.
"You can't get an inch in life, and this time I have gained a lot." Tianhe comforted.
As the three of them spoke, they walked into the roadside stalls, ordered a few bowls of noodle soup, and began to eat and drink.
"Well, should we buy some things and go back first, we are well fed here, and my sister is still hungry." Tianchen hiccuped and suggested.
"It's okay, shopkeeper, pack me twenty solid steamed buns." Zhang Daniu nodded in agreement.
"Okay, wait, officer."
After a while, a middle-aged man in his thirties held three paper bags and put them on the table, all of which were hot steamed buns.
When the two younger sisters Tianxue and Zhang Huahua saw that the three brothers brought back so many delicious food, they immediately smiled, grabbed a steamed bun in one hand, and devoured it.
When Jiang Yun saw so much food at once, he expected that these three guys didn't know where they were, and they did another job of stealing chickens and dogs, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
In order to make his father happier, Zhang Daniu and the two brothers of the heavenly family handed over most of the silver taels, and the three of them each kept two taels as a backup.
When Zhang Bao saw so much silver, his heart suddenly blossomed, and he praised the three boys in front of everyone. Jiang Yun was also shocked in his heart, although he was very happy that the silver had temporarily solved the difficulty, but he couldn't help but worry.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Yun told Zhang Bao about the worries in his heart, so the next day Zhang Bao and his party bought some dry food, sneaked out of the city, and continued to flee east.
Walking east for about 100 miles, a small town appeared in front of them, and Zhang Bao and his wife decided to rest here first, and by the way, see if there was any work to do.
After the last windfall, the three Tianhe brothers were also a little self-confident, and they appeared in the market in the town again to see if any fat sheep came to the door.
