503. Be a messenger
With the help of Mo Er and the dumb servant, the three of them temporarily buried Duan Siside's bones on a hill near the medicine house.
Du did not forget to be sad, so he naturally made a mark, planning to go to the Penghu Island that Feng Niang found one day to live in seclusion, so that all the women who had accompanied him could move to Penghu Island.
After finishing Duan Sisi's funeral, Du did not forget that because his body soaked in the water tank for a night, although his kung fu did not recover much, his internal organs and injuries were almost healed, and he began to bid farewell to Mo Er by the way:
"Miss Mo'er, thank you for taking care of me and helping me these days, I have to go, after all, I don't know what happened to my friends now, and I have to find the white jade lotus. ”
When Mo Er heard Du not forget the parting words, he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart, turned his back to Du and replied:
"Let's go...... Let's go, I don't want to see you again, it just so happens that my grandfather is almost back, let it see you here, I'm afraid you'll die." ”
Du did not forget to make a gesture, and after thanking him again, he turned around and left the medicine house.
A few days later, Du did not forget to arrive at Nanchang Mansion, when he was already poor and penniless, and he had not eaten for a day.
The robe on his body was naturally taken away by Bai Qingtian along with the white jade lotus, and Tai'a Jian was nowhere to be found, Du did not forget to go to Nanchang Mansion at this time in the hope of meeting someone he knew, so as to ask what happened outside the Shangqing Palace after he was injured that day, after all, when Du did not forget to pass by the Shangqing Palace, he found that the Shangqing Palace was empty at this time.
Due to the heavy rain on the way, he slipped and fell several times while walking, Du Buxing's clothes were also tattered at this time, and it was full of mud and dust, after entering Nanchang City, he was naturally regarded as a beggar by passers-by, and even pedestrians spit on Du Buzhi's body.
Maybe this is also the most embarrassing time in Du Buyi's life, but Du Buyi also has to hold on, because not only does he have to recover the white jade lotus that he lost from his hands, but also Mingxi, Ling'er and daughter Xiao Lingxiao are waiting for him.
After walking around the city for a while, Du Buyi was hungry and hungry, and his legs were a little numb, so he found a random place to sit down and rest on the side of the road.
I don't know when, a little girl came over and threw a steamed bun in front of Du Yiyi.
The woman next to the little girl, that is, her mother, saw the little girl like this, and angrily questioned:
"We can't afford to eat at home, you want to eat steamed buns, my mother bought them for you to eat, why did you take a bite and throw it to the dirty and smelly beggar?"
The little girl explained:
"Mother, you see that beggar uncle is so pitiful, he must have not eaten for several days, otherwise he will starve to death. ”
The woman slapped the little girl directly, and the little girl cried:
"That beggar is pitiful, aren't we pitiful? If you do this kind of thing again in the future, don't think about your mother taking you out again!"
Du Buyi hurriedly picked it up at this time and handed it to the woman:
"The steamed buns will be returned to you, don't blame your little girl!"
The woman ignored the beggar and quickly took her daughter and ran away.
Du did not forget to sigh:
"Alas...... It seems that there are still simple people in this world!"
After speaking, he was about to take the already dirty steamed bun and put it to his mouth to eat, but he didn't expect that two beggars suddenly rushed over next to him, and after snatching the steamed bun in Du Zhixin's hand, one of them divided half of it and ate it.
After the two beggars finished eating the steamed buns in their hands, they directly kicked Du Buyi one by one, and one of the beggars with a scar on his face said viciously to Du Buyi:
"Where did you come from to ask for food? Don't you know that this Nanchang City is the territory of our Tsing Yi Gang?"
Du did not forget to say helplessly at this time:
"I don't know what the Tsing Yi Gang is, the Blue Yi Gang, I'm just passing by here, I'm not entangled, you don't need to bully me like this, right?"
The scarred beggar gestured to another accomplice next to him, and the two of them directly took a hand and dragged Du Buyi up, saying as they walked:
"Okay, do you dare to talk to us? I'll take you to our helper now, and you'll just wait to kneel and beg for mercy later!"
Du Bu was dragged by the two of them like this, and pushed him to the gate of a very dilapidated courtyard in the city.
After a while, a beggar opened the door of the courtyard and ushered the three of them in.
After entering a main house in the courtyard, Du Buyi, who was lying on the ground and bleeding from his knees, was instantly surrounded by a dozen beggars.
Du didn't forget to look at the beggars around him, almost all of them were strangely shaped, either with cells on their foreheads, or bald, blind, with few ears, etc., just the two who dragged themselves here just now were quite normal.
After a while, a voice came from behind the group of beggars:
"Little Seven, Little Eight, what are you guys doing back?"
It turned out that the one with the scar on his face was called Xiao Qi, and the other one with it was called Xiao Ba.
I only listened to Hachi's reply:
"Helper, this kid is not only stealing business on our territory, but also has no one in his sights, so Lao Qi and I brought him back and asked the helper to treat it well. ”
The voice of the gang leader came again:
"I didn't expect there to be such a bold person, even our Tsing Yi Gang didn't pay attention to it, first drag him over to show me what it looks like, and then the gang leader will clean him up. ”
So everyone dragged Du Buyi forward and dragged him to the feet of a man who was sitting on Erlang's legs, with moles on his face, disheveled clothes, and about forty years old.
The man gently picked Du Bufu's head with his foot, straightened Du Bufu's face, glanced at it, and said:
"This kid looks pretty good, it shouldn't have looked like a begging for food before, there should still be something at home!"
Xiao Qi, who had a scar on his face next to him, immediately kicked the ground again, and said:
"Helper, you think too highly of this kid, I think he would have been defeated by him even if he had something at home. ”
Seeing that this Xiao Qi stretched out his legs again to continue to mention that Du was not forgotten, the helper with a mole on his face immediately made a gesture to stop Xiao Qi.
I only heard this gang leader complaining about Xiao Qi:
"Didn't I tell you about the rules of the gang? Helper, don't you bother when I'm busy? Have you forgotten the rules of our Tsing Yi Gang?"
Xiao Qi immediately lowered his head and apologized:
"I was wrong!"
The gang leader glanced at Xiao Qi with some displeasure:
"Since you know it's wrong, don't you let me go out and continue to look for food, don't you know that my gang leader is hungry today?"
At this time, everyone left the house in a gloomy manner, leaving only the gang leader and Du Wufu who were lying on the ground.
The helper then walked over, looked around in Du Buyi, and didn't find anything, so he kicked Du Buyi directly:
"You poor ghost, I thought you would have something in you? ”
Du Buyi raised his head at this time after enduring the pain of being kicked several times by several people, glanced at the gang leader, and said with a wry smile:
"Since everyone is a beggar, how can I be stronger than you, if I had something of value, I wouldn't end up like this. ”
The helper suddenly burst out laughing:
"Haha...... Haha, you're finally willing to speak, okay, then let me ask you, what's your name, where did you come from?"
Du Bu Bu naturally thought in his heart, there is no way for the tiger to fall into Pingyang and be bullied by dogs, since it asked, then I will answer, and replied:
"My name is Feng Shihui, I'm from Huguang Anlu, no...... Now it's Chengtianfu. ”
When the gang leader heard this, he was excited, and immediately asked again:
"What did you just say? You're from Huguang Anlu?"
Du Chu did not forget to nod:
"Yes, what's wrong with the helper?"
The gang leader suddenly came over and helped Du Buyi up, and then gave up his stool to Du Buyi to sit down, and said in his mouth:
"Brother Feng, I'm sorry, in fact, I was also born in Anlu, Huguang, and I ended up here, since we are all in the same place, it is also fate to meet it, please forgive me for the offended just now!"
Du Bu Bu saw that the attitude of this gang leader suddenly took a 180-degree turn, and he was stunned for a moment.
The gang leader immediately said again:
"Since we are both fellow countrymen, can you do me a favor, brother?"
Du is really curious:
"What do you need me to help me with, and what else can I do for you?"
At this time, the helper took out a letter from his bosom that was about to turn yellow, put it in front of Du Buzhi, and said:
"Since you are from An Lu, you must also be familiar with the road, I want you to help me send this letter back to my parents, I want to find someone to send the letter for ten years, but no one knows where my address is, today I finally met you, a fellow villager!"
Du Bu Bu looked at the yellowed envelope, and there were only four big characters on it, 'Hanshui Zhou Mansion', and couldn't help asking:
"What kind of place is this Hanshui Zhou Mansion, I don't think I've heard of it?"
As soon as the helper said this, he immediately excitedly stuffed the letter into Du Forgetful's hand:
"Since you are literate...... Since you know this word, then you are from Anlu, then you will definitely find out where the Hanshui Zhou Mansion of Huguang Anlu Mansion is, you will definitely find it!"
Du did not forget to say helplessly at this time:
"Is this letter so important? You see I'm so hungry that I'm almost out of strength, why don't I go back to Anlu?"
The gang leader said:
"You close my eyes now!"
After Du Buyi closed his eyes for a while, the gang leader took a steamed bun full of dirty mud that had been placed for an estimated two days and put it in Du Buyi's hand:
"You eat it and you have strength. ”
Du Buyi couldn't care so much at this time, so he took the steamed bun that was already hard and ate it in a big gulp, and swallowed the steamed bun in a few gobble.
Out of nowhere, the helper brought a bowl of water from a broken bowl and gave Du Buyi to drink, and after a while, Du Buyi finally regained some strength and barely stood up.
The helper hurriedly came over to help Du Buyi, walked out of the house, secretly stuffed a bag in Du Buyi's hand, and said:
"Brother, since you are a fellow villager with me, I also believe that you will not lie to me, I hope that after you return to Anlu, you must remember to help me deliver this letter to my parents in Hanshui Zhou Mansion!"
Du didn't forget to think about it, since this is okay, then I just want to go back to my hometown again, and by the way, I helped it deliver this letter, so I agreed:
"Okay, then I'll help you deliver the letter, but I don't have the fare, I guess you know I'm embarrassed now, right?"
The helper said:
"When you go out into the street yourself, open the bag I gave you, and it contains a silver ticket, which is enough for you to spend all the way. ”
Du Chu did not forget to nod:
"Okay, then thank you!"
Then said goodbye to this gang leader, and after walking to a no-man's land on the street, he opened the cloth bag in his hand and saw that there was a silver ticket with a face value of fifty taels in Nanchang Mansion, and he couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't expect that this beggar gang leader would have such a big silver ticket in his hand.
So Du did not forget to find the money bank, exchanged the silver ticket for silver, bought some dry food to take with him, and went to find a waterway boat to return to Anlu.
