The old man couldn't help but shake his head as he watched a few beggars swaggering away, and then looked at Zhang Peng and the two who were curled up on the ground, and asked with concern, "Little guy, are you two okay?"

Zhang Peng raised his head, looked at the old man and grinned, "Grandpa, we're fine." ”

At this time, Zhang Peng's already tattered clothes were full of footprints, and his arms and exposed calves were also blue and purple. The young man who was protected by Zhang Peng moved slightly at this time, and when Zhang Peng saw this, he quickly turned over and sat on the side. Without Zhang Peng's weight, the young man's curled up body also relaxed. The young man propped himself up with his hands, looked at Zhang Peng, who was sitting on the side panting, and cast a grateful gaze.

Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to be in any big trouble, the old man also smiled, and then said, "You two little dolls are so young, why did you come out to beg, it's really pitiful." Where do you live, and who else is at home?"

Zhang Peng looked at the old man, then pointed to himself and the young man, and said, "Old man, do you look at us like this, like a family person?"

When the old man heard this, he was slightly stunned, his eyes showed a look of sympathy, and then he said slowly: "So that's the case, it's really pitiful." I want Sun Fu, you can call me Uncle Sun, Uncle Sun, I have a restaurant in this Maple Leaf City, and I still need a handyman, if you don't have a fixed place to go, why don't you follow me and go to my restaurant to do odd jobs, so that you won't sleep in the open anymore. ”

Zhang Peng and the young man didn't say anything when they heard the old man's words. After all, Zhang Peng is a newcomer to the rivers and lakes, and he is cautious about everything, while the young man is silent. The old man looked at the two of them and didn't speak, as if he knew what the two were worried about, and he didn't force it, and then just left the address of a restaurant for the two of them, so that if the two of them thought about it, they would go to the restaurant to find him. After finishing speaking, with the support of the middle-aged man, he left with a smile.

Seeing the old man leaving, Zhang Peng pursed his lips, then turned his head and looked at the young man.

"Thank you. Thank you. The young man looked at Zhang Peng and said with gratitude. It's just that in Zhang Peng's feeling, the tone in which the young man said this was still cold.

"No thanks, didn't you save me. Although I, like you, don't care about your life or death, but they bully others with more people, I just can't stand it. Zhang Peng looked at the young man stunned, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The young man couldn't help but be stunned, he remembered that he had said the same thing before, he didn't expect that this guy would return what he had said to himself as it was. When the young man saw the corners of Zhang Peng's mouth with a smile, he actually laughed too, and immediately stretched out his right hand towards Zhang Peng, and said, "We will be friends in the future! By the way, what's your name?"

Seeing the young man's actions, Zhang Peng was also stunned, then laughed, stretched out his hand, shook the young man's hand, and said at the same time: "That's right, just smile more if you have nothing to do, and always show it to anyone with a straight face." My name is Zhang Peng, what about you?"

"I..." the boy hesitated a little and said hesitantly, "I... I don't have a name, I've been an orphan since I was a child, I haven't seen my parents, I don't have a name, everyone else calls me a little beggar. ”

Seeing the young man's lonely look, Zhang Peng also sympathized with him, although he can be said to be an orphan now, but he still has a grandfather who doesn't know where he went, and a master. Zhang Peng smiled gently, patted the young man's shoulder, and said, "Don't be too sad. Actually, like you, I don't have parents anymore. But I have a master. Since we're friends now, why don't I give you a name?"

When the young man heard Zhang Peng's words, there was a lot of expectation in his eyes. looked at Zhang Peng straight like this and didn't speak.

"Well, what about me, my name is Zhang Peng, or you will have the same surname as me, so that we will be brothers. What's that called..."Zhang Peng held his mouth and pondered for a while, and then said, "Otherwise, you can call it Zhang Jie." Together, we are a great man, a hero among the people! What do you say?"

The young man nodded firmly, and muttered in his heart: I also have a name, my name is Zhang Jie!

After a while, Zhang Jie came back to his senses in joy and said, "By the way, why are you here in Maple Leaf City?"

For Zhang Peng, Zhang Jie at this time was his first friend since he grew up, and Zhang Chen once taught Zhang Peng that he could not hide anything from his brothers and friends, and then Zhang Peng told Zhang Jie all the tasks he had to come to Maple Leaf City.

Zhang Jie nodded after hearing this, then looked at Zhang Peng with a serious face and said, "This is the purpose of your coming to Maple Leaf City, how can you tell others everything so easily?"

Zhang Peng was slightly stunned, and asked rhetorically: "Aren't you my brother? Even if I tell you, what can I do?"

Zhang Jie shook his head helplessly, and said solemnly: "In the rivers and lakes, people's hearts are sinister, no matter who it is in the future, you should not believe it easily." Especially when it comes to your life, you can't say anything about it. ”

Zhang Peng nodded as if he didn't understand. Zhang Jie also looked at him and smiled slightly, Zhang Peng was simple by nature, simple and kind, and he had known him for less than an hour, but he believed in himself so much and was unguarded against him, which made Zhang Jie have a good impression of Zhang Peng even more, Zhang Jie secretly swore in his heart, this brother, he made up!

Zhang Jie has not seen his parents since he was born, but was adopted by an old flower, two years ago, with the history of the old flower, Zhang Jie no longer has relatives, and has been begging for a living since then, barely living until now. Although he is about the same age as Zhang Peng, he has a deep understanding of the deception on the rivers and lakes, and Zhang Peng will not suffer a loss with his help this time.

"Do you remember the group of horses that almost killed you before? They are the targets you are looking for this time, the people of the Liu family in Maple Leaf City. This Liu family can be said to be the dominant party in this Maple Leaf City, and they are extremely domineering, as you can see today. It's a problem for you to get into the Liu family, let alone steal things. Zhang Jie said with a frown.

After hearing this, Zhang Peng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and after a while, Zhang Peng's eyes lit up, and he said slowly: "Do you remember Uncle Sun just now? It seems that we really went to find him." Since he is from this Maple Leaf City, he should know some people who work as hired laborers. ”

When Zhang Jie heard Zhang Peng's words, he couldn't help but nod his head and thought about it. Zhang Peng didn't worry too much at all, just looked at Zhang Jie directly, and said in his heart: From now on, I, Zhang Peng, will have one more brother. Zhang Jie.... Speaking of which, this is also the first brother Zhang Peng has made in his life. Looking at Zhang Jie in contemplation, the corners of Zhang Peng's mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

"Dragon and phoenix jade card, I will definitely get yours. Master, Peng'er won't let you down!"
