unlucky beggar

When Wang Jincai woke up again, he still felt dizzy.If it wasn't for the fact that the bed under him was much wider and the mattress curtains were different, he must have thought he was dreaming.

Nightmare!Thinking about it, he felt pain in his heart, and Wang Jin grabbed the skirt of his clothes in pain, his money!his house!

"Woke up?"

Su Qiuer's big face was close in front of his eyes, and he was holding a wet handkerchief in his hand. "When you wake up, wipe your face and get up quickly. I left two pork knuckles with you, and they are still heating in the pot."

"Where is this place?" Wang Jin was taken aback. Seeing that the sky outside the window was noon the next day, he couldn't help asking, "I slept all night?"

"That's right! This is Uncle Wang's home. After you fainted, I carried you here."

So it turned out that Wang Jin swallowed, took the handkerchief and asked nervously: "Then my house...is it all burned down?"

"It's all gone," Su Qiuer nodded, "the fire is also extinguished."

"Is there any left?" Wang Jin asked resolutely, "Did you go in and look for it?"

"I've searched for it," Su Qiuer waved his hand, "There isn't even a scrap left."

Wang Jincai sat down on the edge of the bed and began to wipe his face. While wiping, his eyes were wet again, and the grief in his chest was beyond words.Although it can't be said that many years of painstaking efforts were wasted, it can be regarded as the biggest loss in his life.Think of him, Wang Jincai, who can mend a piece of clothing and wear it for ten years, so he cherishes it so much, let alone a house?Originally, he planned to live there until he died, but now, the house is destroyed before he dies...

"Tut tsk tsk," Su Qiu'er patted him on the shoulder earnestly, "When a man tears, he doesn't flick it lightly, he piss like a horse, and his face is ashamed."

Feeling powerless and feeling mixed, Wang Jincai looked at Su Qiuer, not knowing what to say for a moment.It took a long time to squeeze out a vicious curse from the depths of my throat, "Go to hell!"

"Okay, fuck me," Su Douer smiled and didn't care, opened the door and ticked his fingers at him, "Shall we go to eat?"

"Yeah." Wang Jin stepped out of the door, and now, if he doesn't eat, he will be so angry that he will die.

When they arrived at the main hall of Uncle Wang's house, the maids had already prepared the meals.Facing the delicious roast suckling pig, everyone showed their salivation, but Wang Jincai still had that sad and grief-stricken expression.

Maybe I ate half of it last night, so I'm not ashamed now?Neither the servant girl nor Uncle Wang put down their chopsticks first, but looked at Wang Jincai anxiously.

Wang Jincai was still immersed in his own thoughts and didn't realize it.

When, when, when, when!Su Qiuer picked up a chopstick and began to knock on the bowl, and said to Wang Jincai, "Dangdang Dangdang!"

"What are you doing?" Wang Jin glared at him angrily, "You are begging for food!"

"I was just a beggar." Su Qiuer shrugged innocently, "Are you still thinking about the fire?"

"Young master, don't worry too much about it. Getting angry will hurt you." The old housekeeper, Uncle Wang, also tried to smooth things over, "The mansion of the Wang family has not been renovated for 50 to [-] years since the master lived in it. Now it has been burned down and rebuilt. Instead, save money, master."

"...I know." Wang Jincai sighed in a low voice, "Let's eat."

Uncle Wang looked at the maid, the maid looked at Su Douer, Su Douer looked at the bowl in his hand—eat!

After this meal, Wang Jincai, who was supposed to be the one who swept the world with anger, ate the least. If it wasn't for Su Qiuer who picked a few pieces of meat for him from time to time, he would have eaten nothing but rice.

It was like this for several days in a row, Wang Jincai couldn't sleep at night, and the food tasted like chewing wax, half of his three souls and seven souls were lost, and his complexion became worse and worse.

"Hey," Su Douer sat on a broken wall and ate bananas, "Stop shoveling, you shovel every day, your face will turn yellow."

Wang Jincai put down the shovel and panted heavily, "Why don't you come and help me shovel if you have time to talk nonsense!"

"Shovel what? I've searched several times, but there's nothing here."

"If not, I'll look for it!"

Wang Jincai held back some words in his mind for several days, which made him restless.Right now he couldn't hold it any longer, so he just closed his eyes and yelled at Su Douer: "Your bowl is gone in my hands, will you ask me to pay for it?"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Su Qiuer coughed violently, his whole face flushed red.

Choking on a banana?Wang Jincai went over to pat him on the back, and the rest of the conversation was much easier after the beginning.

"Let's just say it first, I don't have any money to pay, but... I can support you."

"Cough, cough ha ha ha ha ha cough cough cough, cough ha ha ha!"

Su Qiuer coughed and laughed, danced and danced, almost rolling on the floor.

Seeing this, Wang Jincai frowned and said, "Don't think about the lion opening your mouth! No, otherwise..."

"Cough, how about it?" Su Douer finally coughed up his cough and smiled, "So you've been worrying about this these days? Tell me earlier, I won't make you pay."

"Are you serious?!" Wang Jin was beaming with joy.

"It's absolutely true," Su Qiuer nodded, "but there is one condition."

"Ah?" Wang Jincai was confused, "What conditions?"

"Come on, put your ears closer."

"Oh."

……

A moment later, a roar that resounded through the sky came from the ruins of the rich man's house - "It turned out that it was all your fault!"

As the saying goes, there are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge, the mountains and rivers are full of doubts and no way, and there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers!Wang Jincai was greatly moved. Although the lines of the poem seemed to be wrong, it did not prevent him from expressing his feelings.After rushing home in a hurry, the first thing Wang Jincai did was to pick up the abacus, take out the pen and paper, and make an account carefully.

The servant girl who was rubbing ink beside her asked puzzledly, "Master, didn't you just do the accounts on the first month?"

"This is a new account, and it has to be calculated separately from the old account." Wang Jincai dialed the abacus with his left hand and wrote with his right hand, his excitement palpable in his words.

"What is this account for?"

"Debt collection."

"Who are you talking to?"

"..." Wang Jincai paused and said, "Master of the beggar gang!"

That's why this account book, Wang Jincai, is written in every detail, from roof tiles to walls to kitchen knives and mosquito nets.When he finished writing, it happened to be dark.

When eating in the evening, Wang Jincai changed his lack of appetite a few days ago, and continued to move his index finger at vegetables and tofu.On the contrary, Su Douer ate slowly, and there was an obvious swelling on the side of his cheek, which was probably painful.The servant girl and Uncle Wang looked at each other, not knowing why.

The moon was white and the wind was clear, and the night was dark. Wang Jin was full and in a good mood. He went back to the house and half-lyed on the bed, asking Su Qiuer to say, "Take off my shoes, sir."

"Hmph," Su Douer smiled sinisterly, "If you want me to take it off, it's more than just shoes."

Wang Jincai sat up from the bed, "Hey! Don't forget that I am your creditor now! If you hadn't provoked those people, would my house be burned? Could my cabinet be stolen? My money could be stolen." Don't you see?"

"Yes, yes, I was negligent." The sinister smile turned into a wry smile, and Su Douer sighed: "Didn't I promise to help you get back? I will definitely do what I said. But you, it's done." I told you not to get mad, but you reneged on your promise and gained weight!"

"Sorry, I missed it for a while." Wang Jincai touched his nose without regret, "You really want my money and house back? I have already written the account book, and let them pay a total of 480 and 62 yuan. Just do it."

"It's really black!" Su Douer exclaimed, "You need the money to build a new house, right? But that's okay, let's round up 500 taels."

"Will they be willing?" Wang Jincai was overjoyed, "Of course they can!"

"Yes, yes." Su Qiuer yawned a little sleepy, sat on the edge of the bed and took off Wang Jincai's shoes and socks, and pushed him straight in, "Sleep in, I want to sleep too. "

"Okay." Wang Jincai made room for Su Douer without further words, and when Su Douer lay down, he continued to ask, "Do you really have a way to come back?"

"True than pearls."

"What if you don't come back?"

"There's no chance."

"Then when are you going to ask for it?"

"In three days."

"When will I get the money back?"

"unknown."

"You will definitely come back, right?"

"meeting."

"Where can I find you if you don't come back?"

"..."

"Hey, Su Douer, I want to ask you something!"

After hearing no response for a long time, Wang Jincai pushed the person beside him, and was about to ask again, but found that he had fallen asleep.There was no way out now, so Wang Jincai had no choice but to toss and turn on the bed with his stomach full of problems.

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn and the rooster crowed, Wang Jincai crowed first.Overnight, his doubts piled up, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and the more he calculated, the more uneasy he became. 500 taels!What a fortune!How could he hand it over to this hapless beggar so easily?What if he doesn't come back, what if he doesn't want others to give less, what if he wants to take it all by himself in the future?It wasn't that Wang Jincai had a villainous heart, it was that Su Douer didn't look like a gentleman no matter what, thinking about it like this made him even less sure, Wang Jincai patted Su Douer's belly and called him up, "I made a decision!"

"Oh, what have you decided?" Su Qiuer was sleepy all day long, obviously still half asleep and half awake.

"Just in case," Wang Jincai said solemnly, "I want to collect debts with you!"

Su Douer laughed, and dropped his head back into the pillow again, "Okay."

Now that things have been settled, we have to start preparing.Wang Jincai took care of the family's accounts first, and then handed over the rebuilding of the new house to Uncle Wang.Don't look at Wang Boci's good looks, compared to being stingy and stingy, he is not much inferior to Wang Jincai.So he can rest assured that Uncle Wang will be able to handle the matter. After two days, everything will be ready, and Wang Jincai and Su Douer will leave in another night.

Speaking of which, Wang Jincai had never traveled far in his life, firstly because he didn't want to spend the travel expenses, and secondly because he was reluctant to hire a carriage.Although it is necessary to go to collect debts now, it would be too much of a loss if the money was posted upside down.After thinking about it, Wang Jincai looked at Su Qiuer and finally found inspiration.

"How about we go begging all the way there?" Wang Jin thought it was a good idea, "Even the luggage is saved."

One beggar becomes two, and they are just companions on the road.

"You want to join our beggar gang?" Su Douer looked at him with raised lips, "Yes, I personally approved it, you just need to prepare a bowl."

That's easy, Wang Jin readily agreed, "That's it."

"Really?" Su Douer raised his legs, as if he was not serious but also serious, "The world is dangerous, and the world is impermanent. Are you really willing to come with me?"

Hearing these words, Wang Jincai's hairs stood on end and he trembled, "Why are you following me? My lord, I'm here for money, to collect debts! I can go to the mountains of knives and the pan of oil for the sake of money. It's nothing to do with the rivers and lakes."

"What?" Su Qiuer curled her lips in disappointment, "So you're not looking for an excuse to elope with me."

Wang Jincai was angry, "How are the two men going to run!"

"Who said two men can't run away?" Su Qiuer blinked, "I have a way, do you want to listen?"

"Listen to your fart." After scolding, he fell asleep, Wang Jincai was still a little annoyed, since he met Su Douer, he has become more and more vulgar, mother!

That night, Wang Jin had a dream. In the dream, the master who taught when he was a child beat him up and down with a ruler.When I woke up in the morning, my butt really hurt, and Wang Jin was rubbing it secretly until before I set off.

"What's the matter?" Su Douer asked him with concern.

"No, nothing." Of course, this kind of thing can't be said clearly, Wang Jincai waved his hands again and again, and hurriedly set foot on the road out of the town with Su Dou'er.

Walk out of the small town along the river, and turn forward half a mountain to reach the neighboring town where the official road is located.The mountain road was rugged, and Wang Jincai struggled to follow Su Qiuer.Originally, he had no strength to restrain a chicken, but now with the pain in his butt, he didn't even have the strength to strangle an ant.

"No, let's take a break." Wang Jincai weakly took the broken bowl he was preparing to beg for food, and went to the river to scoop up a bowl of water, "It's so hot, let me drink first."

Su Qiuer smiled and didn't answer, but he seemed to agree, so he squatted down by the river and took a sip of water to drink, then took off the diorama and put it in his arms, and washed his face in the river water.

Who doesn't wash their face?Everyone has to wash their face, it's nothing to look at.

But Su Douer is different, Wang Jincai has never seen him wash his face!Whether it is getting up in the morning or going to the river to take a bath, Su Douer will mysteriously disappear for a period of time, and when he reappears, he has basically washed up.Wang Jincai used to think that he had a hidden disease, for example, his blind eyes were actually two big holes or something, so he hid behind the blackout mirror, feeling inferior and afraid to see people.In order not to touch his sadness, Wang Jincai just turned a blind eye.Didn't expect him to reveal his scar at this moment? !This shock was no small matter, Wang Jin hurriedly stopped him and said, "You don't need to show me!"

"What are you looking at?" Su Douer turned around and said with a slight smile, "Where do you want to see me? Above and below?"

Eyes, a pair of piercing, normal eyes.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"What's wrong with me, me, me, me?" Thinking he was too loud, Su Douer covered his ears, "Hush your voice, even if you are not blind, you will make you deaf."

Only then did Wang Jin know what to say, "So you are not blind! Your eyes, you..."

"Aren't my eyes very handsome?" Su Douer expressed understanding and brushed away the messy hair that was wet by the river, so that Wang Jincai could appreciate it further.

"I've been with you for so long and you didn't realize it, you're really stupid. Well, don't make a fuss, it's rare that I don't want to be a beggar for the time being," Su Douer said, taking out several banknotes from his bosom, and shaking them There was a rattling sound in his hand, "How about visiting the mountains and rivers, enjoying the food, drinking and being merry?"

"...!"

Not caring about Su Douer cheating him and scolding him for being stupid, Wang Jincai stared at the banknote in front of him, his jaw almost fell to the ground in astonishment, "Where did you get so much money?! Could it be that you robbed your house and murdered... ..."

"I was looking for 'money', but not killing someone."

Smiling, he put the money back into his bosom and helped Wang Jincai close his chin. Su Qiuer explained, "These are private money, I saved them secretly."

Wang Jincai was overjoyed when he heard that the money was fine, and he didn't even want the broken bowl in his hand.

Where is so much money!

The anger at Su Douer's pretending to be blind was completely dispelled by the joy brought by the silver, Wang Jincai quickly washed the ashes on his face with the water in the river, and patted the dirt on his body - originally thinking about going to beg, but deliberately It's easy to cheat money by being sloppy.

"After washing, let's hurry on our way," Su Douer suddenly said in an upright tone, "After noon, there will be no big fish and meat in the inn, only turnips and cabbages."

"You're lying." Wang Jin didn't bother to talk to him, and wanted to rest for a while.

"Have you ever been to the inn?" Su Douer asked.

In fact, you don't need to ask, how could someone like Wang Jincai go to the inn?

"No." Wang Jincai muttered in a low voice, a little bit lacking in confidence - but I heard people say that the inn is not like this before?

"Today is different from the past, and now the inns are like this."

"Really? You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"How could it be! Of course it's true."

"Then, that's fine."

In order to be able to eat delicious food, Wang Jincai had no choice but to stand up quickly and follow Su Qiuer on the way.

The neighboring town is not big, even smaller than the town where Wang Jincai lives.But because it is close to the official road, it is considered prosperous with cars coming and going.It was time for lunch, and there were many people sitting in the inn.

"Why do you order roast chicken?" Wang Jincai asked first.The two ordered this dish at the same time just now, it would be bad if Su Qiuer thought he was imitating him.

"I like to eat." Su Douer gave him a blank look, and continued to eat chicken wings.

After the meal, Su Qiuer asked for a few steamed buns to take away. Wang Jin wanted to eat steamed buns, but he was too embarrassed to mention them because his hands were short and his mouth was soft.

"You can't just eat steamed buns as dry food," Su Douer offered, "Shall we go out and buy some sesame seed cakes?"

Wang Jincai wondered, "Dry food? Why do we need dry food...why don't we eat steamed stuffed buns?"

"So you want to eat buns?" Su Douer raised the corners of his mouth, "Just tell me if you want to eat buns. How would I know you want to eat buns if you don't tell me? But buns will go bad after a long time in the carriage, um, Can you bear it for two days before eating?"

Longyou Shoal was teased by shrimps, Huluo Pingyang was bullied by dogs, Wang Jincai blushed in anger, it was just a steamed stuffed bun, and he didn't want to eat much!what carriage, horse...

"A carriage?" Wang Jincai asked in surprise, "You want to hire a carriage?"

After buying a dozen freshly baked big sesame seed cakes, Su Qiuer still had a smile on his face, "That's right."

As the sun set in the west, with the afterglow of the setting sun, on the official road near the unnamed town, a carriage was slowly moving forward.

It was the first time to travel far away, the first time to go back to the inn, and the first time to take a carriage.Too many times happened today. For the first time, Wang Jincai and Su Douer stared at each other in the bumpy car, you looked at me, I looked at you, and they were speechless.

After watching for a long time, Wang Jin became thirsty, and then he picked up the water bag to drink water. The coachman just poured it into his mouth, and suddenly shouted "drive", which made him spit out all the water in a gulp.

There was no way for Su Qiuer to hide in the narrow compartment, and he sighed, "It's a good thing you weren't asked to eat leek buns."

Only when he didn't hear it, Wang Jin talked about other things, "How long will it take to get to the beggar gang you mentioned?"

"Two or three days, just go to the city." Su Qiuer opened the curtain to look at the sky, then turned to ask him, "Steamed buns or sesame seed cakes?"

"Seed cakes." If there is meat, it's a different matter. Wang Jincai's favorite food among meatless things is sesame seed cakes.However, sesame seed cakes cost two cents each, so Wang Jincai is usually reluctant to buy them.

Su Douer smiled, "You still like to eat biscuits so much."

"Ah?" Wang Jincai wondered, "How do you know that I like sesame seed cakes?"

"Because I also like to eat biscuits."

Showing a very gentle smile, Su Qiuer handed him a sesame seed cake.

What's the reason?Wang Jincai took the pancake with a frown, but luckily he was no longer surprised by Su Douer.After getting used to the turbulence of the carriage, the journey was not so difficult, so Wang Jin couldn't help becoming a little curious about the destination—what is it like to beg for help and share the helm?

Two days later.

"This is the sub-helm of the gang of beggars?!"

The carriage stopped in front of a dilapidated Town God's Temple, and Wang Jincai jumped out of the carriage and was dejected, "My expectations were in vain."

"What are you expecting?" Su Qiuer stretched his waist and followed, "Can you call a gang of beggars if you can't live in a ruined temple?"

Asking the coachman to wait outside, Su Qiuer and Wang Jincai entered the temple one after another.

It's no different from a normal ruined temple, with a few scattered beggars resting inside.

However, the moment Su Qiuer stepped in, the atmosphere changed suddenly.

"Master! You are finally here!"

The white-bearded old man who was suspected to be a dead body in the corner jumped up "swish", while the other beggars who were sitting, lying on their backs, lying or standing quickly retreated to the door to guard .

This scene was so fast that Wang Jincai was stunned. The beggar didn't seem to have two legs just now. Why did he stick them out all of a sudden? !And the one with the broken hand, what happened to that novice? !

"Master, this way please."

The old man with a white beard who was completely transparent when Wang Jin was still stuck on his face took a futon and beckoned Su Qiuer to sit down.Wang Jincai knew he was bored, looked around and saw a haystack, so he ran over and sat down to listen to the two of them talk.

"Don't dawdle with Elder Nine Bags," Su Dou'er seemed a little impatient, "Tell me quickly, have you found out what I asked you to do, what is Ye Yinjiang's origin, and that treasure bowl is in his hands."

The white-bearded old man Su Douer called Nine Pouch Elder stroked his long beard and sighed, "That's a long story..."

"No, you can make a long story short." Su Douer interrupted him with a wrinkled eyebrow, "Half of my energy has been consumed by you reciting for two hours, please let me go."

"Okay, then I'll make a long story short." The obviously unhappy white-bearded old man said with a straight face: "The South China Sea Demon Sect has appeared in Jianghu in the past ten years. Although Ye Yinjiang is the leader on the surface, but this sect In fact, it was created by the owner of the Heifeng village who claimed to destroy all kinds of grass with his hands decades ago."

"I don't care who built it, it's none of my business," Su Dou'er became more and more impatient, "Elder, tell me the key points."

"Hey, the point is coming soon. By the way, the owner of Heifengzhai once tried hard to pursue the owner of Baiyun City, who is the descendant of the Sword Master. Although it failed, it seems that he conceived by some magical means. Child. Later, the Lord of Baiyun City disappeared, and the Lord of Heifeng Village destroyed Baiyun City in a fit of rage, and then rebuilt the Demon Cult."

"Well, it really is earth-shattering, soul-stirring, and weeping ghosts and gods." Su Douer was quite interested in this story, "That means Ye Yinjiang is also the descendant of the Sword Master?"

"That's right, that's right," replied the elder.

"Then I know what he really wants."

Sighing, Su Douer stood up, "At the beginning, if you ask me to borrow money, it's over. I'm so reasonable and I won't refuse to borrow it. Why bother to make such a fuss."

"What?!" The real blew his beard and stared at him, and the white bearded elder said urgently: "It's about the safety of the martial arts world, lord, you must not be so hasty! No matter what, you must take back the golden bowl!"

Su Qiuer plucked his ears in distaste, "I know, I know, I'm going to find Ye Yinjiang right now."

"I will negotiate carefully," Su Douer smiled at Wang Jincai who was already asleep on the haystack, "not to mention he still owes me 500 taels of silver."

"Woke up."

Gently kicking Wang Jincai to wake him up, and then patting the grass clippings on his buttocks when he jumped up in anger, Su Qiuer said kindly, "Go eat roast chicken again and we'll be on our way."

"Ah?" Wang Jincai asked inexplicably, "Where are you going?"

"The way to collect debts," Su Huo'er answered as a matter of course, "Go to the capital!"
