72. Acting Helper (1)

Li Xiangru slept so deeply this night, and when he woke up, he saw that he was lying on a large wooden bed, although the bed quilt was not silk and satin, but it was also warm and soft, which made people feel very comfortable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Lee Sang-ru hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time, he let out a long yawn, and then sat up. When I lifted the quilt, I saw that I was naked, and my clothes and pants had been taken off at some point.

When I looked around, I saw a set of clothes neatly folded on a wooden cabinet at the head of the bed, and I don't know where to put my original set of rags. Li Xiangru suddenly remembered the "Nanhua Heart Sutra" that he hid on his body, in the past few months, although the martial arts map on it has been practiced well, but he has developed feelings for that book, and now when he thinks about it, he can't help but shout: "Come on, come on." ”

Hearing his shout, the door was immediately pushed open, and a beggar disciple ran in, bowed down and said, "Helper, you are awake, what are your orders?" Li Xiangru said: "Who took me off naked, what about my original clothes, and what are the things in my clothes?" The beggar disciple said: " Elder Hao saw that the clothes on the helper's body were too dirty, so he ordered someone to take them off for you and wash them, the objects in your clothes are all there, no one dares to move at will, we have prepared a set of clothes for you, now please help the helper to wear them for the time being. As he spoke, he opened the drawer of the wooden cabinet, took out a broken bag, and handed it to Li Xiangru.

Li Xiangru opened it and saw that it was the book and the fire fold or something, all of which were not lacking, so he was relieved. He said to the beggar disciple, "Okay, you go out first, I'm going to get up now." The beggar bowed down and withdrew, and closed the door from the outside.

Li Xiangru got out of the quilt, put the burden on the cabinet, picked up the clothes on the cabinet and put them on, only to feel that the clothes and pants were patched a lot, but they were clean and the size was just right, and it was indeed much more comfortable to wear on the body, and there was no pungent and unpleasant smell, he took out the things in the broken bag and stuffed them into his arms again.

He got out of bed and opened the door, but when he saw a pulse of the sun shining in the courtyard, it turned out to be afternoon. Seeing the beggar disciple standing at the door just now, he said, "How long have I been asleep, and what about the rest?" The beggar disciple said, "The gang leader has slept for a whole time." The rest of the people have gone out to run errands, and Elder Hao has ordered me to serve the helper. Li Xiangru nodded, pretending to be an adult and asked, "What's your name?" The disciple said, "In the next stone." Li Xiangru couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard his name get funny. Zhang Shishi's face turned red and said: "Helper, my family was poor since I was a child, and my parents were afraid that they would not be able to support me, so they gave me such a cheap name, which made you laugh." ”

Li Xiangru felt that he really shouldn't make fun of others, so he said: "Brother Zhang, don't get me wrong, I'm not making fun of your name, I suddenly thought of something interesting, so I laughed." After a pause, he said, "Elder Hao, have they come back, I want to see them." Zhang Shi led the way in front and came to the hall where several people were discussing yesterday, only to see that the hall was empty and there was still no one.

A beggar disciple in front of the hall saw Zhang Shi and Li Xiangru coming, and hurriedly ran over to give a salute, saying, "Helper, why don't you rest more?" Li Xiangru sat down on a chair and said, "I've slept enough, what about Elder Hao and them, I have something important?" Zhang Shi made a cup of tea and came up, Li Xiangru took it and took a sip, only to feel that the tea was bitter and astringent, and the tea was extremely poor. The man said: "Elder Hao, they went out after you rested yesterday, and they didn't come back to the chief rudder last night, and they haven't seen anyone until now. Li Xiangru frowned and said to himself: "I don't know what the situation of my father and mother is?" The man said: "It's not early now, the helper should be hungry, I'll prepare something to eat for you." ”

With his reminder, Li Xiangru felt so hungry that he couldn't do it, so he nodded and said, "After you said it, I'm really hungry." I'm sorry for you. The man bowed down and withdrew, and went to prepare his own food. Li Xiangru saw Zhang Shi standing upright on the side, and felt extremely unaccustomed, and said to him: "Brother Shi, you go and do your own business, there is no need to stay here all the time." Zhang Shi shook his head and said, "Elder Hao has instructed that my task is to accompany the helper, if the helper is lost, I will only ask." ”

Li Xiangru was angry in his heart, and said in his heart: "Wow, a few old people called Huazi sent someone to monitor me every step of the way, and they really regarded me as a helper." The more you are afraid that I will slip away, the more I will sneak away to show you, and I will be angry with you old sons. At this time, the meal had already been served, it was a plate of steamed buns and a bowl of beef soup. While eating, Li Xiangru pondered the strategy of escaping. He knew that there were at least fifty or sixty beggar gang disciples in the helm, and he was the leader of the gang, and if he wanted to go there, others would naturally not dare to ask, but there were always a few people behind his buttocks, and he had to report to himself for instructions on any major or minor affairs, and he would not be able to get out of this big courtyard without taking some plans.

Li Xiangru was full of food and drink, and said with a full burp: "I'm going out for a walk, you must not follow, I just want to walk alone." Walking out of the hall, he followed the stone step by step, and was annoyed in his heart, and shouted: "I told you not to follow, can't you hear?" Zhang Shi said: "Elder Hao has instructed that the helper can only walk around the village, and cannot leave the village. Li Xiangru shouted: "Elder Hao, Elder Hao, you only have Elder Hao in your eyes, you only listen to him, not me, I am still your helper." I command you now, not to follow you. As he spoke, he walked out of the courtyard. When I walked to the gate, I saw that the gate was closed, and five or six beggar disciples were guarding the door, and when they saw Li Xiangru, they all came to greet him one by one, and the leader was about forty or fifty years old, and said to Li Xiangru: "Please help the master to move in the village." Li Xiangru saw that he had seven small cloth bags hanging on his body, he was a seven-bag disciple, after yesterday's introduction by Elder Hao, he had a general understanding of some of the rules in the gang, and knew that this person was also high in the gang, so he asked him loudly: "Do you know the rules of the gang, I am your acting gang leader, and now you have put me under house arrest, I don't even have the freedom to move, and what I say is useless, what kind of bullshit gang leader is it?"

The man said, "Please don't be angry, and listen to me." Li Xiangru shouted: "Okay, you say, you say." The man said: "Actually, the elders are also very kind, because you have just acted as the gang leader, and you are not familiar with the situation and surrounding environment of the gang leader, for fear that you will encounter some accidents like the Tong gang leader, so I ordered the gang to protect and pay attention to your safety." In fact, a few elders are like your baby, help the master, you must not misunderstand the kindness of your subordinates. This is actually for your sake and for the sake of the beggars. Li Xiangru's anger subsided a little, and he snorted: "That's a good thing." The man said: "The beggar gang has been leaderless for several months, and several big things have happened, and I want to come to help the leader also know." Now that a new gang leader has been elected, nothing can happen. Otherwise, the hundreds of years of inheritance of the beggars will not be able to be preserved. ”

Li Xiangru heard him say seriously, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided, and he said strangely: "Is it so serious?" The man said solemnly: "Of course it is serious, because my beggar gang is the largest gang in the world, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in the gang. However, there are people in the gang who secretly collude with the Tartars, wanting to cooperate with the outside and annihilate our beggar gang in one fell swoop. Gang leader, this is a matter of life and death for this gang, do you think this matter is serious?"

Li Xiangru said: "It's really damn that Elder Hao and the others didn't tell me about such a serious matter." The man said, "It may be that a few elders consider that you have just become a helper, and you have not yet had time to report to the helper." Li Xiangru said angrily: "When that old man comes back, I have to pull off his beard." As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the hall, and said, "I suddenly feel very tired and don't want to go out, so let's go back to the hall to drink tea and rest first." ”
