The little beggar changed his clothes, came to the bazaar to wander around, picked up the money bag in his hand, and asked people on the street where the wine and food were the best in this 'Muyu Town', and someone told him that the most famous tavern in the town was the 'Wine in the Fragrance', and said that there was a drunkard who had been there for three or five years and refused to leave, and he did not know how much he owed the shopkeeper for wine.

The little beggar jumped up to the 'wine in the wine' and saw a drunken man with a broken knife half-lying on the railing by the porch of the tavern. The little beggar walked over and poked the drunkard twice, but the man slept so heavily that he didn't move.

Then the little beggar sat down on the table on the other side of the porch and shouted, "Hurry up, bring good wine and food to the master." ”

The shopkeeper ran out and looked at the little beggar: "Isn't this the little beggar who unveiled the official list at noon? I looked at you when I went to the market to buy salt, why did you change all of a sudden." ”

The little beggar carried the money bag: "Master Gao will handle the case for the little master, hurry up and bring good wine and food, don't be verbose." After speaking, he raised his leg and was about to kick the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper shouted: "Master, wait a minute, the little one will go and bring it to you." He turned and ran to the kitchen, and in a short time the table was full.

The little beggar was eating while looking at the people outside, and from time to time he looked at the sleeping drunk.

Just after noon, the lanterns in the Mid-Autumn Festival market town are all hung up, and there are more people who come out to shop, and the little beggar eats for most of the day, touching his round belly and whistling, sometimes yawning and enjoying himself.

Suddenly, I saw the aunt who often gave him sweet potatoes in 'Lao Junguan', leading a seven or eight-year-old girl to go shopping, and the girl was jumping up and down with a string of rock sugar gourds in her hand.

"Hey, Aunt Sweet Potato, don't forget to let your man rub the rope!"

Aunt Sweet Potato looked at the little beggar: "Yo, isn't this the little beggar, he has changed his clothes, he really looks like a little boy from a big family!"

The little beggar took out a piece of broken silver from the money bag, raised his hand and stretched out the railing to hand it to the sweet potato aunt: "Take your daughter to buy something delicious!"

Aunt Sweet Potato leaned over and took the silver, and said worriedly: "This thief who can't be caught by hundreds of soldiers, you have to have a snack, don't go to show your ability, if you can't find a place to hide, if you can't catch the thief, you will kill your head!"

The little beggar waved his hand and told Aunt Sweet Potato to go away: "Don't worry, don't worry... Remember to let you be in charge of the rope!"

Then he deliberately shook his head and sighed: "Ouch, the master hasn't drunk the wine after buying it, what does the wine taste like in the wine." ”

took a sip of the wine jar, and then squirted out and scolded: "What kind of smell is this, it's hard to drink, cough cough cough ......."

The drunkard opened his eyes and woke up, ran to the little beggar with a cigarette, snatched the wine jar, drank a few sips, and staggered to the place where he had just covered the heat and lay down.

"I thought I was lying there like a dead man, and I didn't move for most of the day. The little beggar whistled at the drunkard.

The drunkard ignored the little beggar, raised the jar and took two more sips, wiping his mouth with the sleeve of his coat.

The shopkeeper came over and reached out to the little beggar to settle the bill: "He will come back to life if he has wine!"

The little beggar took out two pieces of broken silver and slapped them on the table: "I'm afraid that the master won't give you money when he eats!"

The shopkeeper nodded: "No, no, there are many guests who come to drink during the Mid-Autumn Festival today, and the little one has not read for a few days, so I am afraid that I will not be able to remember your account, and I am worried that the shopkeeper will deduct my salary." With that, he grabbed the money on the table and ran.

The little beggar stared at the knife in the drunkard's other hand: "Show your broken knife to the master!"

The drunkard ignored him, lifted the jar and took another sip.

"Shop boy, come out for me!" the little beggar shouted.

The shopkeeper ran out with a smile: "This young master, what else do you have to order." ”

The little beggar took out a piece of silver from the money bag and slapped it on the table: "Where did this drunkard come from?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly picked up the silver and stuffed it into his belt and said, " This person was originally the son of a Langzhong in this Muyu Town, when he was as old as you, he was taken to practice martial arts by the hermit of Zhongnan Mountain who traveled here, and he came back four years ago, and his parents were killed the year before he came back, and the house was burned down, and the government couldn't find out the reason, this is not like a madman drunk here every day, our shopkeeper's son had smallpox when he was a child, and his father gave him a good look, and it was also a life-saving grace for our shopkeeper, and the store gave him a place to stay, and the leftovers were given to him to eat, which was also considered to be benevolent and righteous... ...”

Drunkards seem to be only interested in alcohol and are too lazy to listen to those criticisms.

The little beggar put one foot on the bench and looked like a child: "Isn't there any clue at all?"

The shopkeeper looked at the drunken man, approached the little beggar and whispered: "The whole house was burned down overnight, and the neighbors didn't even hear the cry for help." ”

The little beggar waved his hand and told the shopkeeper to go away, thinking that this would be difficult, so let's wait for the nerd to come, and the master will find an inn to live in first.

A soldier in the observation envoy's mansion reported to Lord Gao: "The little beggar ate and drank in the 'wine fragrant' until the evening, during which he called a woman who often went to the 'Lao Junguan' to offer incense, and asked him not to forget to ask the men in the family to rub the rope, and then asked the shopkeeper about the family affairs of the drunkard in front of the door. ”

Master Gao waved his hand and told the soldiers to stand back, smiled slightly, and shook his head again.
