Chapter 264: Begging on the Street

At the critical moment, saving her life was important, Hu Qiong didn't care about her ugly posture, crawled on the ground, and quickly crawled out between the legs of the two. Escaping from the encirclement, Hu Qiong no longer hesitated, and ran wildly, it was really like a gust of wind, running three miles away in one breath, turning his head to look, where was the shadow of those five people?

Penniless, he could no longer go west, so he had to walk towards Zhijiang City. After walking twenty miles with difficulty, his legs were already weak, as heavy as lead, and what was worse was that his stomach was hungry at this time.

The sun was already in the west, Hu Qiong gritted her teeth and insisted on walking forward, there was not even a single family along the way, there were deserted fields everywhere, where was there food? It was already dark, and Hu Qiong reluctantly walked into Zhijiang City.

The streets are filled with the enticing aroma of food, and the voices of mothers calling for their children to come home and eat. Penniless, the son has never begged, standing for a long time, really hungry, Hu Qiong had to grind, next to a restaurant, the aroma of the food inside is even more tangy. Hu Qiong rubbed her stomach and stood pitifully in front of the restaurant.

A guy came out early and solicited business: "Childe, come in and eat, the color and flavor are complete, and the prince is satisfied." ”

Hu Qiong snorted: "I have no money." Can you ......?"

The guy heard it and said, "No money, no money to go elsewhere." ”

Hu Qiong said: "No, my silver was robbed by robbers. ”

The guy said with a cold face: "We don't take credit here." ”

Hu Qiong suddenly thought that she could use the long shirt on her body to get a few steamed buns on credit, and looked down, the long shirt on her body had already been lost when she ran for her life. Hu Qiong was faceless and entangled in front of the door, so she had to drag her steps forward, walking past a few houses, and was almost dizzy with hunger. He is a son of a rich family, and he has not had to worry about food and clothing since he was a child, where did he ever think of falling into such a situation.

When I walked to a house, I could see that the people in the house were sitting around a table eating, and they couldn't move, just standing in front of the door. The people inside saw Hu Qiong standing at the door and didn't leave, but the master walked out and asked, "What are you doing?"

Hu Qiong said: "The money was robbed, and I haven't eaten yet." ”

Without saying a word, the master slammed the door shut.

Walking past a few houses, Hu Qiong is standing in front of people's doors, and he will not open his mouth to beg, but just stand, so that people can find him first and come out to ask. As soon as he heard that he was asking for food, he drove him away. After walking through a few houses, dinner had long since ended, and only the sound of washing pots and dishes was heard. He said he wanted a leftover, and they said, "I won't feed the dogs either." ”

After a few more houses, they were already closed for sleep.

Hu Qiong was hungry and walked to a restaurant again. There was laughter and laughter from the restaurant, followed by the aroma of wine and meat.

Hu Qiong is free and easy by nature, where would she worry about money, food and clothing, in such a situation today, she had to walk into the restaurant with her head on, and the guy saw the opportunity to greet him early.

"Childe, which one is it set?"

Hu Qiong plucked up the courage and said, "I don't have any money, can I get it on credit?"

"Go, go, go. "I was pushed out directly.

Hu Qiong's face is thin, and she has been rejected several times, where will she have the courage to come to the next time? In the corner sat an elderly beggar, holding a steamed bun that was coming, and was enjoying his dinner with relish. Hu Qiong looked at the old man eating steamed buns and swallowed his saliva. The old man looked up and saw a boy standing in front of him, his eyes full of greed and pitifulness.

The old beggar asked, "Boy, what do you want me to do?"

"I'm hungry. ”

The old beggar said, "You are a son, and you are still hungry?"

"No, my money was robbed by robbers. ”

"Alas, this is the son in trouble. The old man quipped, and swallowed the steamed bun in his hand in one gulp, so as not to let the fallen boy look at it with his eyes and beat it for bad ideas.

Hu Qiong walked forward helplessly, and just after walking a few steps, he heard the old man say, "You come back." ”

When Hu Qiong heard it, he walked back. The old beggar said, "I think you are too pitiful, I still have a steamed bun here, let's eat it for you." ”

As he spoke, he took out a steamed bun from his arms and handed it to Hu Qiong. Hu Qiong saw that his hands were dirty and black, and the white-faced steamed buns had turned into a big black face. The old beggar kindly said, "I'll give you something to eat." It's still warm in my arms. ”

Hu Qiong thought that she wouldn't beg, she didn't want this steamed bun, she didn't know if there was anything to eat in front of her, and it was most important to fill her stomach first, so she reached out and took the steamed bun.

Hu Qiong took the steamed bun, and he no longer disliked it as a big black face, and swallowed it quickly, his stomach was already welcoming this big black face.

The old man picked up a broken bowl and said, "Take a sip first, don't choke." ”

Hu Qiong was also thirsty, so she took the broken black bowl and drank a few sips. At this time, the stomach no longer sings empty city plans.

The old called Hanako and said: "I see you, you are a son, you usually stretch out your hands in clothes, and you are used to opening your mouth when you eat." You're not a guy who asks for food, you don't want to ask for food, you go to ask for food, and people think you're playing. You look white and clean, why don't you go to work in a restaurant to earn money to eat. ”

Hu Qiong thought about it, and said, "Thank you for your advice." ”

"Let's go. ”

Hu Qiong opened her eyes and looked at Lao Huazi suspiciously. "Eat your fill and go to bed. Hanako, the old name, said.

The old man told Huazi to stand up, led Hu Qiong forward, turned a few corners, and came to a dilapidated house. Hu Qiong looked at it, it was a city god temple, and when she thought about it, this city god was also down, and it became called Huaziwo.

In the small temple of the city god, there is no bigger bed, and it is stuffed with straw. The old man asked Huazi to get in, vacate a place, and beckoned Hu Qiong to go in too. It was still early summer, and it was still very cold at night, and if he got sick with a cold, it would be even more difficult, so Hu Qiong had to go in sideways and expose her nose to breathe fresh air.

Lying on the straw, the old beggar asked Hu Qiong's name and why he came to Zhijiang City? Hu Qiong told her that she had been framed and robbed of her family property, and that she was about to go to her uncle in Chongqing, but she met a robber on the road and robbed her. When the old beggar heard this, he scolded the ruthless catcher half to death.

The night was cool quickly, and there was no quilt, so Hu Qiong leaned closer to the old man Huazi, but stretched his neck long so that his nose was exposed.

Where can I sleep well all night, only until the rooster crows, and then I fall asleep dimly. When he fell asleep, he slept deeply, only to hear the footsteps of people coming and going around his head, and Hu Qiong woke up with his eyes.

It just so happened that the old name Hanako also came over with a broken black bowl, smiling, and said, "It's still hot, Childe eats it while it's hot." ”

Hu Qiong picked up the broken bowl, which was yellow gruel, using two branches as chopsticks, I didn't eat enough last night, and I was even hungrier this morning, and I no longer paid attention to it.

Hu Qiong is at home, although it is not a delicious food from the mountains and seas, but there are also chefs at home, and each meal is also a combination of meat and vegetables, and the plates are clean and delicious. I don't want to be a little flower child today, but it's better to eat well with a dog. It's really good to be at home for a thousand days, and it's hard to go out for a while! Not to mention that this "dog food" has to call an old man named Hanako to beg for himself, and he really relies on his parents at home and Hanako when he goes out!

The old man called Hanako and said, "Now that you are full, you can go to work in the restaurant." Remember, Childe, when people are not paying attention, pour me a bowl of leftovers. ”

Hu Qiong agreed, walked back, turned a few corners, came to the street, walked west to the restaurant, and walked in step by step. The guy looked at it and asked, "Childe brought the money?"

Hu Qiong said: "I'll work for you, wash dishes and chopsticks, sweep the floor, wipe the table, don't get paid, just enjoy one meal." Hu Qiong had memorized this sentence well along the way, so as soon as he came, he said it in one breath desperately.

"Go, go, we don't recruit workers. ”

Hu Qiong begged: "You try it for a day, and then you can talk about it." ”

"No, no. The guy pushed him forward, but Hu Qiong stood still. When the two were pushing, the shopkeeper saw it and came over and asked what was going on?

"I'm here to work, I don't want to be paid. Hu Qiong hurriedly said.

"Early in the morning, it's really unlucky. Get rid of me. The shopkeeper was very angry and shouted loudly.

The guy got the support of the shopkeeper, and his courage doubled, and he pushed Hu Qiong out of the door.

After going to several restaurants in a row, they no longer recruit new people. walked back and forth in the small Zhijiang City several times, and his legs were weak and weak, and he didn't gain anything, only to get a cold speech from others. Hu Qiong is a son-in-law, he can't eat, he can't work, it's already afternoon, and his stomach is hungry, so he has to turn around and take refuge in the old man Huazi.

He found the old name Hanako and told the old man Hanako about his own experience, back and forth. The old man called Hanako to be sympathetic, angry for a while, tearful for a while, and said: "Childe, you will follow me in the future, if you have me, you will have you." ”

From then on, Hu Qiong followed the old man called Huazi in Zhijiang City and learned to be a little called Huazi. Begging along the street every day, not having enough to eat, with yellow muscles and thin muscles, where can I earn money so that I can go back to that warm home?
