Squatting on the side of the street, the broken bowl is on the ground.

Pedestrians hurried by.

From early morning to dusk.

The bowl was filled with more and more copper or silverstone, and soon it was full.

However, Lizhen was still sluggish, and there was no trace of excitement in his heart.

The words of the beggar in the day lingered in Li's ears for a long time, lingering.

......

Some of the people who give tips to the people who leave, there are some old men or old women with inconvenient legs and feet.

Even some children passing by will look at the departure with pity, and then throw down a few iron stones and walk away.

There are many people like the noble lady in the morning.

They sneered at Lili and cast a look of contempt.

If I saw such a look yesterday, I am afraid that my heart would be very uncomfortable.

At this time, I felt in my heart that this kind of look should be.

Beggars, who are supposed to be the lowest class of society, can only rely on begging to make a living.

However, since the beggar said those words to Li, the three views of Lili have been subverted.

Has this beggar become a profession, a profession to gain the sympathy of others?

The guilt in my heart arose, and I squatted on the side of the street like this.

For a long time, for a long time.

......

At night, the moon is in the sky.

Leaving the broken bowl where it was, he got up and walked into the darkness.

......

The next day, Bello City.

Leaving neatly dressed, I entered a restaurant.

"Shopkeeper, are you still short of buddies here?" Lihan asked with a smile.

"No recruitment, no recruitment. The shopkeeper beckoned.

I have asked four or five stores, and most of them are a reply.

Away from turning around and leaving.

At this time, an old man in tattered clothes walked in with a little girl of four or five years old.

Looking at their dress, they also look like beggars.

The old beggar held a wooden stick in his hand, trembling as if he could not hold the broken bowl.

When I saw it, I suddenly felt sympathy.

I was just about to give some alms, but I remembered what the beggar said yesterday, and I stopped leaving.

He wanted to see the attitude of the shopkeeper.

"Okay, okay, I haven't eaten for three days. "It's exactly the same rhetoric as yesterday.

The old beggar's lips were chapped and pale, his face was sallow, and his bones were as thin as firewood.

The little girl was wearing a red cotton jacket dyed black, and her little hands were black.

The little girl's eyes revealed a hint of longing, and she looked at the shopkeeper beggingly, hoping that he could give him some food.

Seeing it, he couldn't help shaking his head, and said with a smile in his heart: "This old and young acting skills are really good." ”

He stood by the door, looking at the two beggars.

The shopkeeper first glanced at the old beggar, and then said, "Old man, you wait." ”

The old beggar nodded, his face full of joy.

"Alas, even this shopkeeper has been deceived. He said with a smile.

The shopkeeper called a man and asked him to bring a basket of steamed buns in the kitchen, about a dozen.

"Come, old man, take these and eat them slowly. The shopkeeper himself squatted down and put a steamed bun in the little girl's hand.

The little girl was overjoyed and picked it up and nibbled on it.

The old beggar was also full of joy, and thanked the shopkeeper repeatedly.

I was suddenly puzzled in the centrifugation, looking at the appearance of this little girl eating steamed buns, she also acted too well, right?

and even praised it again and again.

After the old beggar thanked him again, he took the little girl out of the door and went to an alley.

Away quietly followed, trying to debunk them.

......

Stay in the alley.

The old beggar touched the little girl's head dotingly, and took out a steamed bun from the bamboo basket.

After thinking about it, the old beggar still broke half of the steamed bun and put the other half back into the basket.

Li was looking at them in the dark, and this scene suddenly stunned Li Li.

For a while, my heart was infinitely touched.

Suddenly!

The old beggar exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly held a few steamed buns carefully in his arms.

In the bamboo basket, there are five silver stones.

Presumably it was arranged by the shopkeeper.

The old beggar hurriedly pulled the little girl out.

Away from the two of them.

When I went to the restaurant again, I said that I would return the silver stone to the shopkeeper.

No matter how the shopkeeper shirked it, the old beggar resolutely put the silver stone on the counter and pulled the little girl away.

In the eyes of the old man, it is perseverance and stubbornness.

The shopkeeper had no choice but to accept it.

The old man left again with confidence.

This time, Li didn't follow him.

Because I know that this old man is a real beggar.

At the same time, Li also deeply regretted his previous malicious speculation about the old beggar.

This old man is very different from the beggar he met yesterday.

One is a life of necessity, and the other is a move to make money by making a beggar a profession.

There is a world of difference between the two.

Seeing the shopkeeper like this, Li's heart was once again full of relief.

"Shopkeeper!" Walk into the restaurant and talk to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper still looked impatient, and shook his hand again and again: "It's all said, we won't recruit people." ”

"No, I have something to ask for. Li said, and took out ten red stones from his waist and put them on the counter.

"What does that mean?" The shopkeeper asked, puzzled.

"I'll pay for it, can you offer a job for that old man just now?" After a pause, he added: "If he hadn't been cornered, he wouldn't have succumbed to that pride in his heart." ”

"You pay?" The shopkeeper pushed the ten red stones away, shook his head and said, "Brother, do you know how many of his people are in this Hanging Realm? Can you help one, can you help all of them?"

When I heard it, I suddenly realized.

"If I can help them in this way, I can do my best without you having to pay for it. ”

The shopkeeper sighed, shook his head again and again, and said, "But there are so many poor people in this world, how can we help them all?"

"Can you help one of them?" Li barely showed a wry smile and said, "But do good deeds, so it's good." ”

"Okay!" The shopkeeper seemed to be a little touched in his heart, so he said, "I'll ask my subordinates to come over and arrange a job for him later." ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper!" Off the archway.

The shopkeeper shook his hand embarrassedly and said, "It's just a little bit of effort, alas!"

"Why is the shopkeeper still sighing?" Incomprehensible.

"If there were more people like you in the world, it might be a different story. The shopkeeper looked at Li, seemed to want to speak and stopped, sighed and said, "Alas, that's it." ”

"What do you think about the shopkeeper?" Curious asked.

When the shopkeeper saw this, he hesitated for a long time before he said, "Alas, it's useless to say it." ”

He didn't ask too much, left the ten red stones on the counter, turned around and left.

When the shopkeeper chased him out again, he couldn't find a trace.

Weighing the ten red stones in his hand, the shopkeeper looked at the sky.

Shaking his head, he went back to the store.

Walking on the eaves, everywhere you pass, you will always see all kinds of beggars.

But Yili's experience is far from being able to tell the truth from the false.

Which are the real beggars who are forced to live, and which are just fakes who make a lot of money by taking beggars as a profession.
