unlucky beggar

The sky is high and the clouds are clear, the sun is bright and the wind is clear, and the northern geese are still far away from flying south, but Wang Jincai, who is staying in the capital, already wants to return to his small town in the south.Originally, he came to ask for debts, but now that the debts are coming, why are you still here?With an IOU worth 800 taels in his pocket, Wang Jincai happily told Su Qiuer about going back.When the two of them came together, it was better to hit the sun than to choose another day, so they might as well leave today.

When he was leaving, Wang Jin gave Ling Lingfu the big bag he took out from the inn, as a thank you for disturbing these days.Although he loves money like his life, he is not a person who does not respect etiquette. He eats and lives for nothing, and he does not want to owe him.

But Ling Lingfu didn't want to accept his things, "If you want to thank me, just tell Su Qiuer not to come again, by the way, who will go up and who will go down?"

"Ah?" Wang Jincai still forced the burden to Linglingfu, otherwise he really didn't want to give it to Linglingfu if he held it in his hands again, "Who's up and who's down?"

Linglingfu leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "That's the one..."

"Which one?"

A voice broke in suddenly, and Wang Jincai turned his head to see that it was Su Qiuer.

"No, no," Ling Lingfu hurriedly changed his words, "You two, walk slowly, I won't see you off too far, take care on the way!"

Before Wang Jin could react, he retreated behind the door like burning his butt, and closed the door with a bang.Wang Jincai asked Su Qiuer puzzled, "What happened to him?"

"I'm anxious." Su Qiuer said.

Coming out of the secret agent's mansion, Wang Jincai and Su Douer went out of the city together.This time they only bought some dry food and did not rent a carriage.The reason is very simple, the money that Su Douer brought had been spent on the way here, and it might not be enough to take a carriage.

"Did you smuggle money with you?"

On the official road outside the city, Su Douer gnawed on some sesame seed cakes and said, "Why don't you take it out and use it first?"

"I, I didn't bring it!" Wang Jin was a little guilty. He did secretly hide some money with him in case of emergencies, but how did Su Douer know?It seems that we have to hide more in the future, "What is there to ride in a carriage? The rivers and mountains are beautiful, and the ones we use are the same."

"OK!"

Unexpectedly, Su Douer readily agreed and came over to pull him.

"I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to walk. If that's the case, come with me!"

Isn't this the way back? Wang Jin didn't understand, so he asked, "Where are you going?"

"Another way." Su Douer smiled at him mysteriously, "Don't you want to see beautiful mountains and rivers? I'll take you to see the real ones."

Wang Jincai snorted dissatisfiedly, and followed Su Douer to turn around and walked up the mountain road.

The mountains are high and the road is steep, dangerous peaks stand tall, clouds and fog surround the cliffs, and the wind is fierce.

Wang Jincai was exhausted after crossing mountains and ridges for a long time, but this is what he saw.

"How did you lead the way? This is clearly a dead end!" Wang Jin yelled, blushing with anger, "How do I get here, can't I just jump off?"

"Smart enough," Su Douer nodded and smiled approvingly, "Just jump down!"

"..."

No way, Wang Jin took a step back, "Are you disillusioned and want to commit suicide?"

"Of course not, how can I be willing to die with you? Don't worry, no matter when, where and under what circumstances, you will not die if you jump off the cliff. Oh," Su Douer smiled, his brows and eyes were curved, and he didn't seem to be lying at all, "this is a rare opportunity, do you want to give it a try?"

So what if you have gold, silver and jewels, should you take them to the underworld?No matter how greedy Wang Jincai was, he was so frightened that he waved his hands and shook his head, firmly expressing his disapproval.

"Then let's go."

Completely ignoring his opinion, Su Qiuer came over and grabbed someone before jumping off a cliff.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Woolen cloth!

The wind whizzed past my ears, and there was a sea of ​​forest under the cliff, they fell straight down, and they were about to be smashed to pieces—huh?Doesn't seem to be broken?

He held back his body easily, stepped on the top of the tree and jumped up with strength, and then fell down to another tree. Su Douer was jumping forward by several feet.This situation is not much different from his previous movements of jumping up and down on people's roofs, except that he moved from the town to the forest, a bit like a monkey.And Wang Jincai was caught under his arm, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was drooling, and he was stunned for a while.

Looking at it this way, the mountains are full of verdant greenery, and the scenery is unsurpassed.

"I said...how long are you going to dance?"

The field of vision fluctuates up and down, the whole body up and down, no matter how stunning the beauty is, Wang Jin is dizzy and dizzy, "I'm about to vomit."

"Persevere!" Su Douer encouraged him, "Persistence is victory! Do you hear the sound of water in front? There are many poisonous insects and snakes in the forest below. As long as you reach that river, you will be fine. I will release you immediately." come down."

Well, Wang Jincai tried his best to endure.

Sure enough, when he got to the river, Su Qiuer let him down, and told him that this was a shortcut, and he could go back to the town by walking along the river.Wang Jincai was dubious, if there is such a good shortcut, why has he never heard of it before?

"Because there's a lot of food, right?" Su Douer said with a smile on his face, "Wolfs, tigers, leopards, wild boars, black bears and the like can eat whatever they want. It just so happens that we don't have enough dry food, so it's a good way to go this way."

Wang Jincai's whole body trembled, this... Can you determine who eats whom?

However, there was no turning back when he opened the bow, and he could only follow Su Qiuer to continue walking after they got here.Fortunately, following the water flow, we picked some wild fruits and game on the way, so it was not a problem to eat and drink.When I was tired, I rested on the bank, and when I was dirty, I went down to the river to wash. During the day, I grilled meat on the palm of Su Qiuer, and at night I lit a fire and slept under the tree.

It's really cool to live in such a way that you can rely on the sky to support you, and you don't have to spend a penny!

From the initial resentment to the current happiness, Wang Jincai walked along the current with Su Qiuer for more than ten days without knowing it.

At the beginning, after a day's journey, Wang Jincai fell apart and was exhausted. Su Douer sneered at him while helping him to beat and massage. On the second day, the pain was much relieved, and he continued on the road.After several days of repeating this, Wang Jin gradually got used to it. After walking for a long time, he didn't pant for breath, and his legs and feet became stronger.When going down to the river to take a bath, Su Douer poked his chest, "You seem to have grown some flesh, your pectoral muscles have grown bigger!"

Just when the nipple was poked, Wang Jin made a low snort and fought back, and also grabbed Su Douer's nipple, "Poke your own, yours is bigger than mine!"

"Oh, you're dead...!"

There was a disgusting and shy tone on his mouth, but he beat Wang Jincai into the water with his palm, and rubbed his head vigorously.Wang Jin, who had choked on several saliva, was in a panic. He kicked and beat his hands wildly, and while struggling, he grabbed the red rope around Su Douer's neck.

Su Qiuer obediently didn't move and let him tread water to float up again, "Let go, let go, don't break it for me."

"Tell you to press me!" Wang Jincai pulled Su Qiu'er's head over by pulling the red rope, and then let go after hitting the chestnut hard.

Speaking of which, Wang Jincai had noticed the red string for a long time, because there was a copper coin on it.I have seen people wearing pearls and agates, and I have seen people wearing gold, silver and jade, but I have never seen people wearing copper plates.Su Douer usually does not have such a precious thing, sometimes he will take it down to play with, and put it aside casually.

Wang Jincai took the opportunity to weigh it. It was indeed the most common copper plate, but it was a bit old.Unable to figure out why such things would always be carried by Su Douer's side, Wang Jincai couldn't help being a little puzzled—could it be that he was envious of people wearing gold and jade, so he made a lesser imitation?

It makes me sad to think about it, even if Wang Jincai has such a hard heart, he has a little bit of sympathy for Su Douer, and he can't help but add a bit of pity to his eyes.

"Ah!" Wang Jincai cried out in pain, "Bastard! Why did you hit me?"

"You're thinking about something messed up there," Su Douer's forehead was throbbing with veins, "it's not what you think!"

"What's that like?" Wang Jincai asked curiously.

"Alas..." Su Qiuer let out a long sigh of relief, half leaning on the shore, and said slowly, "The thing is like this."

Ten years ago, as the heir of the leader of the beggar gang, 14-year-old Su Qiuer started to go out independently, traveling all over the world to beg for food.At that time, he was still a half-grown child. First, he didn’t have the begging bowl bestowed by his father, second, he didn’t have the Western sunshade mirror to pretend to be blind, and third, he didn’t have the cunning tricks to deceive people, so he often couldn’t get anything to eat, so he had to go up the mountain to find food. , By the way, chop some firewood and exchange it for money.

Living in poverty, Su Qiu'er was ragged, unkempt, and pitiful.Fortunately, thanks to the standard look of those who heard it sad and those who saw it shed tears, more and more people donated money to him.

One day he came to a small southern town full of sweet-scented osmanthus, saying that the folk customs here are simple and honest, and as expected, Su Qiuer reaped a lot in less than half a day.With the money I got, I bought a big sesame seed cake. Su Qiuer squatted on the side of the street and was about to eat it, but a voice interrupted him.

"Here, young master, I will reward you."

The young man who looked not much older than Su Douer took out a copper plate, stood in front of him and said through gritted teeth.

Su Douer thought to himself that he was so unwilling to pay back a penny, what a stingy cheapskate he is.But letting such a cheapskate pay for it also proves how successful he is.

After thanking him, Su Qiuer reached out to take it.

"Wait!" The boy said a little coyly, "I didn't want to give you that much, so give me some money."

"Ah?" Su Qiu'er was stunned, wanting change for a penny?How do you find it? Break the two halves with the King Kong finger and split your half?But I haven't learned that martial arts yet!

"If you have no money to find..."

Staring greedily at the big sesame seed cake in Su Douer's hand, the young man hesitated, "How about a few bites of sesame seed cake?"

"Huh?" Su Douer subconsciously looked down at the biscuits in his hand, unable to figure out what the situation was.

When he agreed to this action, the young man took the biscuit in his hand unceremoniously, and took several mouthfuls.It looked as if he hadn't eaten for three days, Su Douer's mind was in chaos, Zhuang Sheng dreamed of a butterfly, Die Meng Zhuang Sheng, is he a beggar or am I a beggar, am I a beggar or is he a beggar?

After eating the biscuits, the young man left. Su Douer held a copper coin in his left hand and the remaining half of the biscuits in his right. He thought: No!He gave me a penny, and then ate more than half of the biscuits I bought for two pennies. Isn't this a loss to me?

Su Douer, who was only 14 years old, clutched his chest, feeling an overwhelming sense of frustration overwhelm him.There are still people who take advantage of beggars like this?Did he show his stuff?Is his appearance not miserable enough?But he obviously came in accordance with the rules of the Beggars' Clan, what went wrong?Failure, being a beggar is such a failure!

Su Qiuer was depressed for several months because of this matter, and the copper plate has been hanging on him since then...

"Hehehe!"

Wang Jincai climbed up from the water, felt a chill in his heart, and said with a dry smile, "Hehehe...you...don't you want to seek revenge from him?"

"After such a long time, I can't remember his appearance," Su Douer raised the corner of his mouth evilly, "Why are you nervous?"

"I, I'm not nervous."

The breeze blew, and Wang Jincai, whose hairs stood on end, wanted to cry, but he really didn't have any impression of what Su Douer said. There are so many cheapskate in the world, so it shouldn't be him... But why does he feel the thorn in his back? ?

Let's change the subject at this time, Wang Jincai pretended to be casual and asked, "How long will it take to go back to town?"

"One day." Su Qiu'er also jumped ashore, pointed to the hill in front of him and said, "Tomorrow morning, you can climb over there and go to the neighboring town, and in the afternoon, you can climb half a mountain and you will be home."

"It's so close already?" Wang Jin was taken aback, he didn't expect this road to go so fast.Counting it, it has been almost two months since I went out. I wonder if Uncle Wang has finished building the new house?Is the monthly rent collected on time?The servant girl didn't steal meat while he was away, did she?

Thinking about all the problems, Wang Jincai decided to speed up his journey tomorrow and go back early.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and even though the autumnal equinox had passed, Wang Jincai still felt very hot after driving the mountain road all morning.After finally arriving at the place, I found that the originally relatively prosperous neighboring town had changed.There are not many pedestrians on the street, but there are many beggars.Occasionally, a few street vendors passed by, and they all looked sad.

Is there a famine?

Wang Jin was only familiar with this scene, he was in a bad mood, he had to go home quickly.

"Where are you going?"

Su Qiuer called him, "There is a locust plague here, there is no food, and many people are hungry."

Looking back, I saw Su Douer standing among the beggars and taking out money. He didn't have much money left on him, so he cleared it up in two or three strokes.

Seeing him like this, Wang Jin suddenly turned into two big heads, and had an extremely bad premonition.

"..." Su Qiuer didn't speak, just stared at him helplessly.

Being seen standing or sitting, Wang Jin murmured, "Actually...every three to five or seven years there will always be such a famine... so many people... nothing will happen Uh?" Just as he was talking, he felt something pulling at his trousers, and Wang Jin just looked down, and saw a child cupping his hands into a bowl shape, begging him for a little mercy with tears in his eyes.

Come out without even a bowl? !God!Wang Jincai wailed in his heart, forcing me to go to a dead end!Looking up at Su Douer, Wang Jincai was about to complain that it was all your fault, but someone suddenly poured cold water on his head.

A cold face with no expression, and dark eyes without a smile.

Wang Jincai couldn't tell what it felt like to take out the little money that he had kept privately from his pocket, but his hands were trembling.Trembling from being stabbed!Although the money was given, an uncontrollable anger swept up.Wang Jincai clenched his fists, even his shoulders trembled a little.Damn!In the whole world, how many people are rich and unkind?How many people are really compassionate and charitable?He's just an ordinary rich man, what's wrong with only caring about himself?He doesn't owe these people anything, so what if he doesn't give it!Why look at him with such eyes!

"Ah, he's the richest man in the neighboring town!"

An exclamation broke the stalemate, and someone recognized Wang Jincai.Wang Jincai himself didn't know when he became famous in the village, or did more people recognize him at this time?

A lot of people gathered around, all begging him for alms, and after a while, they would come to the door to pay off the debt, thanking him for his great kindness and virtue.

I knew this would happen, okay now?Wang Jincai took a gamble and spoke loudly, just to let Su Qiuer hear it!

"Isn't Li Yuanwai in your town rich? Why don't you ask him to borrow it? Why would he ask me if he doesn't borrow it?! And the magistrate of the county, why doesn't he release food, what does it matter to me?! "

The people around were in an uproar, saying everything.Wang Jincai turned a deaf ear and stared at Su Qiuer with his neck stuck.Su Qiuer glanced at him, turned his head and left.

That look was full of contempt and disgust.

Wang Jincai's heart skipped a beat, as if he had been nailed in place.He saw that not far away, Su Qiuer seemed to be telling the villagers to follow him, and he had a way.

After walking two steps, Su Qiuer stopped again. A little beggar was drooling in front of the sesame seed stall, but he only held a penny in his hand.Su Qiuer smiled indifferently, snapped the red thread around his neck, and handed him the copper coin.

The little beggar took the copper coin and thanked him.

As time went by, Wang Jin suddenly remembered the appearance when he handed out this copper plate ten years ago.

There was a buzzing in his head, Wang Jincai hadn't been sad for many years, but now he felt extremely uncomfortable.

On the bank of the small river in the neighboring town, many villagers who looked like beggars gathered.

Although it is the same river, the flow speed behind the mountain is quite different.The river here is narrow, the water is deep and turbulent, and the mountains on both sides are extremely steep, so it is difficult for ordinary people to catch two even if they go down the river, let alone fishing.

Su Qiuer stood on the shore, looking at the rushing water with indifference, but Wang Jincai was thinking in his mind.This person is stingy and crazy, he cherishes money like his life, has a bad temper, has a bamboo pole, and always turns over when he sleeps. If he insists that he only has one face to see, there is really nothing worthy of love for him.But he, Su Qiu'er, is capable of what others can't, so he just fell in love with it.

That being the case, why fight with him?well.

Feeling bored and having nowhere to go, Su Qiuer let out a low cry, summoned [-]% of his internal strength and slapped the river.All of a sudden, there seemed to be the sound of dragons singing and tigers roaring through the clouds and cracking rocks, and the river water within tens of feet was all splashed up and dispersed to both sides of the bank.

This is the real Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, but there is only one form, and his father can't remember the remaining seventeen forms, so neither can Su Douer.However, it is powerful enough to be used in this kind of place. I saw fat and fresh fish falling from the sky with the river water, and they were caught by the villagers on the bank who didn't care about getting wet and rushed to catch the fish.

Everyone had a big fat fish, and the villagers thanked Su Douer a thousand times, and went back happily.With a hollow neck and a chill in his heart, Su Qiuer followed behind and returned to the previous sesame seed stand.

There was no sign of Wang Jincai around, so he must have left first.

"Staller, do you still have the two pennies given by the brat who bought your biscuits just now?"

Seeing Su Douer's appearance, the stall owner thought, "Oh, is there a particularly old penny? Someone came to ask, and he insisted on exchanging that penny with me!"

"I see."

Feeling better, Su Douer smiled slightly, turned around and walked out of the town.

Instead of using light work, it took more than an hour to slowly climb over the mountain, and Su Douer, who temporarily put on the diorama again, came to the town where Wang Jincai was.It seems that the place has not been affected by the famine. The villagers he knew came back after seeing the unlucky begging, and enthusiastically gave him fruits to eat.

Biting the tender and juicy peach in her hand, Su Qiuer patted the gate of Wang's new house.

As expected, this new house was built by Uncle Wang. It is much more grand than the old one, and even the knock on the door is louder.Not long after the door opened, Su Douer saw that it was the old housekeeper who opened the door, and opened his mouth to ask:

"Uncle Wang, is the rich man back yet?"

"I'm begging you to come," Uncle Wang nodded, "Young master is back, but he seems to be in a hurry. He took the silver and food without saying anything, and took the servant girl away."

"Take the servant girl away?" Su Dou'er almost couldn't believe his ears, "Still taking money and food? Did they say where to go? When will they be back?"

There is no need to ask Su Douer these questions, but it's too unbelievable—it's fine if he is forced. At this juncture, Wang Jincai would take the initiative to go out with money and food? !

"No. But with so much money, two or three years of elopement is enough. Maybe when they come back, the baby will be crawling all over the floor!" Uncle Wang frowned deeply, lamenting bitterly, "I wanted to This servant girl married my little grandson, since the young master has taken a fancy to it, there is nothing I can do..."

Inadvertently swallowed all the peach pits, Su Qiuer was dumbfounded, what kind of speculation is this?Unexpectedly, Uncle Wang is like this... Baba, you really are old at heart, and you can't judge by appearance.

"No, no, no, she still has great, great, great hopes to marry your little grandson." Su Douer patted the old man's shoulder solemnly and said, "I promise."

"Is that so?" Uncle Wang was eagerly waiting to ask again, but Su Qiuer disappeared in an instant.

Exercising lightness kung fu and leaping across the forest, Su Qiuer wished he could put a pair of wings on his back.

When he finally arrived at the neighboring town, the sky was already dark.

It was time to eat, and many people stood in line at the entrance of the town with pots, pans and other containers.Waiting was boring, and there were too many people talking, so everyone started talking about it.

"I didn't expect someone to give porridge, it's vegetable porridge!"

"That's right, I heard he's the rich man from the neighboring town, he's such a nice guy!"

"Not only that, but he is also willing to lend money. There is no interest. Just write the IOU and pay it back. I borrowed two taels of silver from him to come here."

"You still come when you have money?! By the way, what should I do if I can't write?"

"Wait, you are all too careless! Don't you know that this person is a famous iron rooster who dies without plucking his feathers? I think this is a strange phenomenon in the sky, and evildoers are bound to be born!"

"Then Huang Banxian, why are you still begging for porridge? F*ck!"

……

In response to the villagers' call, Su Douer quietly picked up a small stone with a smile and hit Huang Banxian's leg, causing him to fall into the mud.

At the front of the line, a fat maidservant whom I hadn't seen for a long time was holding a steel spoon and a big pot beside her, yelling murderously not to squeeze, but to squeeze the steel spoon to serve.But the rich man Wang floated to the side like a wandering soul, his eyes were empty, his eyes were lifeless, and his expression was really not far from ascending to heaven and turning into a monster.

My heart tightened, but I wanted to laugh again, I didn't know what to do Su Douer hesitated, taking advantage of this gap, Wang Jincai also saw him.

The four eyes meet, and if one smiles like a Bodhisattva, the other is the evil ghost Shura.

"Maid, lend me the steel spoon."

"No, I have to use this too," the busy maid handed Wang Jincai a spatula, "Master, you can use this first."

Su Qiuer turned around and ran, Wang Jincai chased after him.

Su Douer laughed heartily while running, feeling carefree and joyful from the bottom of his heart, a lot of emotions surged up together, which made him immediately want to eat up this rich man.But before he could lead him to a place where no one was around, Wang Jincai couldn't run anymore.

Looking back, he realized that his feet were trembling.Wang Jincai was different from himself. He was an ordinary person. After running on the mountain road for a whole day from morning to night, his legs were probably so sore that they would break.

Turning around, picking up the spatula first and then hitting and hugging the person, Su Douer was a little strange, why did Wang Jincai not respond at all, shouldn't he be cursing and croaking to let Master Ben down?

Looking at it again, Wang Jincai's face was pale, his eyes were red, and he seemed extremely uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?!" Panicked, Su Douer asked anxiously.

"It hurts." After uttering a word with difficulty, Wang Jin pointed to his chest.

This movement was like a sharp arrow, which made Su Qiuer's chest ache.Just as he was about to say something, he saw Wang Jincai tremblingly taking out a stack of papers from the place he just pointed at.

"So many IOUs! I'm heartbroken!" Wang Jincai was furious after finally recovering, "I've never given so much money to anyone in my life! You bastard, you're going to pay me! Well, let's talk about it first, you What will you give me as compensation?"

"..." I couldn't laugh or cry, as expected this is Wang Jincai.

Su Douer raised the corners of his mouth and moved closer to his face, "I don't want to repay you with your body, do you want me to give you my whole body?"

Without giving Wang Jincai time to answer, Su Qiuer kissed him on the mouth.Seeing that Wang Jincai suddenly turned into a wooden man with dull eyes, Su Douer simply licked his lips, deepening the kiss...
