The third day of Guobei County, noon

mutton wine shop,

Boom, a piece of broken silver was thrown onto the counter

"Give the master a mutton pot, add half a catty of mutton, and pick the fat one. ”

The arrival of a drinker made the entire people sitting in the wine shop frown, the person who threw the silver was surnamed Liu, and the person who spoke was a beggar.

The streets and alleys of Guobei County can see the figure of beggar Liu begging.

It's probably because the county can't find the second kind of person who lives worse than a beggar, and his usual source of livelihood is begging, so the subordinates who usually do dirty work in the green building also look down on him, when he is a street mouse.

In the past, the beggar Liu didn't come to the mutton wine shop, but every time he stayed at the door, lying on the ground, and when the drunken and well-fed uncles came out, he would get up and ask for broken copper plates for two nests to make ends meet.

It is the master who has always been rich, and in this way, even if the guys don't want to see him anymore, they have to take him to the wine store and serve him carefully.

The guests were unhappy but didn't say much, but they glanced at the beggar from time to time while talking to their friends, and by the way, they sped up their meals, and hurried away, so as to stay away from the bad luck.

Beggar Liu looked at the pie in the sky like everyone else during this time, and his saliva was non-stop. He has never worked, and even went to Zhou's shopkeeper to move the goods for two days.

Lao Zhou's shopkeeper is sixty and six this year, and those who can live to this age this year have to thank God. Therefore, every birthday, the son of Lao Zhou's shopkeeper will celebrate his father according to the level of his birthday, and he will be auspicious.

The good days of the Zhou family happened to be after autumn, and in the coming year.

Since the beginning of autumn, the shopkeeper of Zhou has been carrying various idle personnel to carry various items for the New Year and birthday, with a salary of 50 copper dollars a day, including two meals, not accommodation.

This is the first time in his life that the beggar Liu has gone to work.

From the first day of the gambling game, he was busy, earning fifty copper plates a day, and eating two clean and hot meals, from morning to night.

In order to make some gambling money, even in such a busy situation, the beggar did not leave the business of begging.

Early yesterday morning, when the news of the county government finding the body came out of the Congo, the beggar pressed all the belongings into the 200 copper plates, and then quit his job and lay down at the door of the wine shop to beg for food.

Afraid of something, by the afternoon, the news that the corpse in the county government was a 'torso' seemed to have become a sure thing.

The beggar Liu was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and he stayed at the door of the gambler's house all night in the cold wind, thinking that when the gambler got up, he would say two good words, so as to hope that the wealthy gambler would return the two hundred hard-earned money to him.

Unexpectedly, at the end of the mountain and water,

The part of the body locked into the county treasury is not a 'torso',

It's the 'legs'.

The beggar trembled instantly, he is now the master of the six thousand copper plates, and he has become a master.

After thinking of this, the beggar straightened his waist, straightened his torn linen clothes, straightened his chest, crossed his legs, and walked energetically to the door of the gambler's house, and patted the door of the gambler's house vigorously.

After shooting for a while,

Seeing that no one cared about him, the beggar couldn't help but get a little angry, and scolded with his throat scolding:

"What's the matter, Lai Qian, open the door!" the sound of the slapping of the door mixed with the scolding of the beggars seemed unusually harsh in the autumn and winter mornings.

"Grandma's, hurry up to reincarnate, don't shoot!" The impatient voice went from far to near, and soon reached the door, and the gambler opened the door.

Seeing that it was a beggar knocking on his door, he couldn't help but stick his head out of the door in confusion and look left and right.

"Quick, the notice is out, it's legs, hurry up and hand over my six thousand copper plates!" cried the beggar, seeing that the gambler did not care at all about himself.

The gambler thought amusefully and angrily, then looked the beggar in front of him up and down twice, and said, "I'll go back and get it, wait." ”

The gambler closes the door as he speaks.

When it was too late, the beggar Liu Yi shoved his hand into the crack of the door that was about to close, and shouted, "You want to run?!"

The gambler finally couldn't take it anymore, flew up and kicked on the beggar's chest, and then slammed the door shut.

The beggar fell to the ground and began to roll from side to side, howling incessantly.

Bang, a small bag of silver, about six taels, flew out of the wall of the gambler's house and fell not far from the beggar. There were also a few shouts and curses in the house: stinky food, indiscriminate things, and 6,000 copper plates, what kind of stuff...

When the beggar saw the little cloth bag, he immediately endured the pain and crawled to the silver.

The beggar is very excited, this kick is worth it, and he has made a lot of money!

The beggar hurriedly opened the cloth bag and bit the silver in the cloth pocket one by one.

After making sure that it was the real silver, the beggar looked carefully to the left and right for a moment, and quickly shoved the silver into his rags.

Originally, the beggar wanted to turn his head and smack at the gambler's door, but suddenly saw a group of fast catchers in black soap clothes quickly passing through the alley and walking towards him.

Seeing these bad old men, the beggar was already frightened, and hurriedly slipped away.

Behind the beggar, the messengers had knocked on the door of the gambler's house, and one by one disappeared into the street.

Guobei County, evening

In a corner of the wine shop, at the wooden table at the four corners, the scholar and Mr. Wei sat face to face, and the middle position was reserved for Han Qiufen.

The steaming soup is rich and attractive, and a few pieces of fatty mutton can be seen floating on the slightly bubbling soup noodles from time to time.

"I'm going to starve to death. The scholar stretched his neck and stared at the mutton soup pot in front of him, his eyes moving up and down with the lamb rising and falling in the rich soup, and muttered in his mouth.

Mr. Wei was not in a hurry, took a spoon and stirred it in the pot, and said, "Come on, cook it for a while, the soup will be thicker." ”

"I saw the gambler taken away this morning by the county officer. The scholar was diverting his attention, and he was afraid that if he continued like this, he would burrow into the soup uncontrollably.

"Where did you look?" Mr. Wei said, putting down the spoon in his hand, and then put a plate of sheep's blood into the pot.

Seeing that Han Qiufen had finished collecting the table and there were no other guests in the wine shop, Mr. Wei began to help Han Qiufen and the scholar serve soup.

"On the roof of his house. The scholar said as he stared at Han Qiufeng's figure.

After speaking, the soup was finished, the corners of Mr. Wei's mouth turned up slightly, and he smiled and picked up one of the bowls and handed it to the scholar.

"Don't startle the snake. ”

"Hmm..."
