Chapter 1: A Boy with Grass on His Head

The summer is scorching, and the high temperature of the ground can directly fry eggs makes the intellectuals on the big tree shout hot and non-stop, and Jiang Qin, who wants to sleep in the hammock under the noisy tree, is extremely irritable. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After being argued for nearly an hour, Jiang Qin, who couldn't sleep, found a fine net and a bamboo pole to make a simple cicada trapping tool, caught five or six in three or two clicks, and then lit a small fire and began to barbecue.

To tell the truth, the Zhizhi on this big tree is big and fat, and the taste is quite delicious.

It was about last night's heavy work, and Jiang Qin, who knew it after eating, didn't have much time to fall asleep in the faint cool breeze.

Towards evening, a little fat man rushed to the shade of the tree with two meat buns and six knife-cut steamed buns in his arms, and shook Jiang Qin awake.

"Jiang Qin, don't sleep, hurry up for dinner, we're going to be late!"

Jiang Qin woke up suddenly, wiped his face, glanced at the bun in the fat man's arms, and unceremoniously took a meat bun and two knives to cut the steamed bun.

The meat bun must not be taken more, because this is the lifeblood of the fat man's survival, if anyone dares to snatch the meat bun belonging to the fat man, the fat man can fight with whom.

The fat man's real name is Qi Yue, that winter, after the blind old man who took in Jiang Qin died, the hungry and panicked Jiang Qin met the fat man hiding in the straw stack, and the fat man gave him half of the slimy raw sweet potato, which saved his life, and since then, the two have relied on each other and lived together.

Seeing Jiang Qin take away the buns, the fat man smiled, divided five by two, and ate the remaining knife-cut steamed buns, without taking a breath, and drank a sip of water.

Jiang Qin was not surprised by such a situation, and began to eat slowly and methodically.

Because the fat man must be very careful and very slow when eating the meat bun, so that it takes an incomparably long time, which is enough time for Jiang Qin to eat the portion in his hand.

"Jiang Qin, who do you say is the person from the Cen Mansion this time, with such a big pomp every day?"

The fat man said after eating the last bit of meat foam in the meat bun, sucking his fingers.

"Can't you just not suck your fingers?" Jiang Qin's face darkened, "It doesn't matter who the lord of the Cen Mansion greets, we can do good deeds, and earn double the salary in the past few days." ”

The fat man nodded: "What you said makes sense, I'm going to eat two buns tomorrow!"

"Okay!"

Jiang Qin was speechless, walked behind the tree, lifted a layer of turf, and revealed the shallow pit inside, which was a green pothos grass that had just sprouted and grown, and the green leaves were growing opposite, which looked very pleasing.

"Jiang Qin, do you want to wear this grass again?" the fat man's face turned bitter.

I don't know when it started, every time he went to Cen Mansion, Jiang Qin would have to put the fat man and him on the freshly sprouted green pothos grass on his head, looking stupid.

Originally, Jiang Qin wore green pothos grass for fun, but he happened to be seen by the eldest lady of Cen Mansion, and Miss Cen seemed to see a rare plaything, so she asked Jiang Qin to wear it every time he went to Cen Mansion, and if not, he would let the housekeeper end his employment of them.

In order to eat, in order to survive, Jiang Qin had to do it, but at some point, the costume of growing grass on his head was spread, so that the entire Bianzhou City could see the scenery of grass growing on his head.

From the old man to the three-year-old Tong Meng, even the old man of Cen Mansion walked in front of the two of them with grass on his head.

Of course, Jiang Qin, as a hired servant, would not be looked at by Master Cen.

Therefore, in addition to Jiang Qin and the fat man who need decoration, they also need to provide some for the Cen Mansion, especially that Miss Cen, who is one of the most dazzling pearls in the entire Bianzhou City.

Fortunately, Jiang Qin's craftsmanship in decorating the pothos grass is very good, no matter how the fat man tosses, he will not let the pothos grass break, nor will the bamboo silk that holds the pothos grass leak, making the top of his head become a puff of grass.

Since he was once appreciated by the beautiful little lady on the street, the fat man began to slowly accept the pothos grass, after all, it is still quite cute to dress up like this.

Preparing the pothos grass to be sent this time, Jiang Qin returned to the small courtyard of the thatched hut, scooped a scoop of water in the water tank, washed his face, tidied up his clothes, and then put on the pothos grass for him and the fat man, then pushed the cart and ran quickly towards Bianzhou City in the westward sunshine.

If they don't enter the city after the time has passed, as soon as the city gate is closed, their work in the Cen Mansion will not be guaranteed, and I am afraid that they will continue to live on the streets at that time.

Rushing all the way, the gate guards routinely glanced at the two teenagers and let them pass.

When you enter the city, the first thing that catches your eye is a variety of neon billboards and gramophone songs played by the shopkeepers.

Bianzhou City is a very prosperous city, one of the few cities in the Great Wei Empire that can be electrified, and the merchants who are qualified to use electricity naturally have a greater face, as for why electricity cannot be popularized, it is not for Jiang Qin to know.

Along the way, there were homeless teenagers as big as Jiang Qinhe who saw the fat man in Jiang Qinhe, some of them would greet one or two, some showed envious eyes, and some were full of hatred.

It's just that five years ago, Jiang Qin and the fat man were still one of them, but a few years later, the situation of the two sides became very different.

At first, the two were reluctant to join other street children's organizations, so that they would be bullied wherever they went, and if they resisted, the bullying would be even worse.

The most dangerous time, a young man found an inferior dagger out of nowhere, sneaked up on the fat man from behind, and was discovered by Jiang Qin, Jiang Qin rushed over desperately, grabbed the dagger with his bare hands, and blood splattered all over the ground......

Fortunately, Jiang Qin's life was great, and the dagger was too inferior, but it only cut the palm of his hand, did not cut off the bones of the hand, and cut the artery, and those street children were also scared away by the blood all over the ground, which saved his life.

From then on, the fat man regarded Jiang Qin as his eldest brother, and everything depended on Jiang Qin.

However, Jiang Qin's hands were almost useless, and he couldn't take the fat man out to find food, and it was difficult for the fat man to get food, and even if he got it, it would not be enough for him to eat alone.

The lives of the two are almost plunged into hopeless darkness.

No, the fat man didn't know what kind of luck he had and met a kind Taoist.

The Taoist is an old friend of the old man of Cen Mansion, and he is deeply respected by Master Cen, and when he saw that the fat man who led the way was pitiful, he gave the fat man a simple errand in Cen Mansion.

The fat man thanked him for his kindness, and said that if Jiang Qin couldn't be together, he couldn't come, because it was his brother, and his hands were seriously injured and needed his care.

Moved by the fat man's words, the Taoist gave the fat man some medicinal mud to heal Jiang Qin's hand injury, so that Jiang Qin could also come to Cen Mansion to do chores.

At first, he was cleaning the courtyard, then he was managing flowers and shrubs, and now he is participating in some simple decorations of the Cen Mansion and cleaning up the remnants of the banquet.

It's just that the Taoist left in such a hurry that Jiang Qin couldn't even say thank you.

Trotting all the way, Jiang Qin and the fat man finally arrived at the side gate of Cen Mansion, Steward Xu had been waiting there indifferently, and after seeing the two of them, he scolded sternly: "Why are you here so late today, do you want to do it?"

This is not the first time this has happened, whenever they have an increase in income, Steward Xu will be like this.

Jiang Qin hurriedly stepped forward and made a gesture towards Steward Xu, and the six copper coins cleverly slid into Steward Xu's long sleeves: "Uncle Xu, this is our fault, please bear with me." ”

Steward Xu touched a few coppers in his sleeve, and his face became slightly better: "Hurry up and go in, the eldest lady wants you to send the pothos grass first...... Miss, Big... When did you come, Miss?"

If what happened just now was seen by the eldest lady, he would be completely finished.

Ignoring the sweaty Steward Xu, Cen Ziyue waved her hand: "It's none of your business, go aside!" Jiang Qin, fat man, bring the pothos grass, hurry up and follow me!"

"Eh, why is this eldest lady here in person?"

Jiang Qin was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask much, he hurriedly answered, and the fat man each held a pothos grass and followed Cen Ziyue into the mansion.
