two fools

The fool didn't understand very much, he asked, "Why?"

The second fool said: "He is not our third, why are you kissing him? Only brothers can kiss."

The fool understood now, and he said, "Then I know."

The New Year's day is no different from usual, but at night, I don't know which big family has set off fireworks.The idiot squatted at the gate of the temple, shouting in shock from the fireworks.

After the New Year, the weather generally stabilizes.Acting at this time can avoid the chance of being frozen to death by the blizzard on the way. The beggar calculated the time and decided to leave in ten days.

They had nothing to take, so they were silent before they were ready to go.The night before the departure, all three of them suffered from insomnia. The road ahead was unclear. It was the first time for everyone to walk such a long distance, so it was inevitable that they would feel uneasy.

The second idiot clasped the idiot's hand between his fingers, and comforted in a low voice: "Don't be afraid."

The idiot moved forward and curled up in his arms.No one noticed that they were abnormal, even if they left the city, it went very smoothly.

The beggar did not know where to find a map, and spread it out to mark the direction to go.

The three of them carried water and dry food on their backs and walked all the way north.They were in the south at this time, so it wasn't very cold at night. Sometimes the three of them would sleep in the open, and sometimes they could find a broken thatched hut or a ruined temple with no one there.

The three of them were not the only ones going north, sometimes they would meet a few people who were also going north.But they have money on them and dare not walk with these people.

The official road that the three of them walked was comfortable and fun, and it was fun to stop and go.After walking like this for about a month, things gradually changed.

It was getting colder as we went north, so the three of them paid for extra clothes for themselves.The beggar was buying cakes on the side of the road, and the second fool and the fool were waiting not far away. After the beggar bought the cakes, he came over and saw the second fool staring at the road.

The second idiot should have discovered something was wrong, so the beggar asked, "What's wrong?"

The second fool said: "Have you noticed that there are a lot of beggars entering this city?"

Beggars have their own beggars' clothes, which are different from ordinary people, and it is easy to distinguish them.

The beggar looked at his words for a while, and said, "It seems to be so, so what's the matter?"

The second idiot thought for a while, and said: "When we heard the news of the food shortage, people in Jingshui City didn't know it well, and there were only three of us in the whole Jingshui City. But you see, there are many beggars going north now, that means More and more people know about the locust plague in the south.”

The second fool frowned slightly, and was a little worried about the current situation: "We have to speed up."

Hearing the words, the beggar counted the money on his body, and said: "No way, hire a bullock cart, it will go faster this way."

The second fool said yes, so the three of them packed an ox cart and walked north.The middle-aged man driving the ox cart was quite surprised to see them dressed up, and said, "Are beggars so rich these days?"

The second idiot ignored him and said, "Just send us to Licheng."

The route they originally negotiated was to go to Mo City, but Li City was the demarcation point to Luo City.

The beggar said, "Why are you going to Los Angeles?"

The second fool said: "Most of the people on this road are going to Mexico City. Once there are more victims in Mexico City, it is not good for us, so we might as well go to Luo City instead."

The beggar thought about it for a while, and said, "Then let's go to Los Angeles."

The bullock cart traveled for two days and one night to reach Licheng. The beggar paid a tael of silver to the young man.The three took a short break outside Licheng and ate a few pancakes.

The sky was clear at night, and the stars spread out into the Milky Way and fell overhead.The three of them counted boredly, and even sighed together after counting.

The beggar asked the fool, "Why are you sighing?"

The idiot said, "I'm so tired." He turned over to look at the second idiot, and asked, "Second idiot, why are you sighing?"

The second fool said: "I don't know, I just want to sigh."

At this moment, the three of them had no idea in their minds, and their energy was exhausted by running around for days, but they still had no idea about the future direction.

The night's sleep was not long, and the three of them huddled together to sleep when it was cold, which was why Er Fool's face was particularly dark when he woke up this morning.

Last night, the idiot slept in the beggar's arms completely. The second idiot opened his eyes and saw the two hugging each other, and he was pressed against the idiot's back, as if he had been excluded.

With a stinky face, he pulled the fool out of the beggar's arms and hugged him in his arms.The pull woke both of them up, and the beggar opened his eyes and asked in confusion, "It's dawn?"

The idiot also opened his eyes slowly, and when he saw the second idiot, he called him first: "Second idiot. Then sleepy eyes are still closed."

The second idiot responded dully, the idiot sensed something was wrong, opened one eye to look at him: "what's wrong with you, the second idiot?"

The second idiot didn't know what was wrong, he just couldn't see the idiot being with the beggar more and more.Every time I saw the fool and the beggar approaching, I felt that something was wrong all over my body, and I wished to separate them, so that the fool would follow closely by my side, and no one could touch them.

But he can't, so he always has to test the idiot, gloomily like now, to see if the idiot still cares about himself.

The second idiot got a satisfactory answer from the idiot, so he settled down.He shook his head and said, "Get up, let's go to the city today."

The fool sat up on the ground and yawned, while the beggar sat aside and rubbed his arm.Seeing this, the fool asked him, "What happened to your arm?"

The beggar looked at him and smiled, but did not speak.

The three of them simply ate a little food and set off into Li City. Only after entering the city did they realize that something was wrong. There were actually many beggars in Li City.

The beggar picked someone out and asked them, only to find out that they came from the south and set off years ago.

The face of the beggar turned serious. These people were all from the disaster-stricken village.He told the second idiot about it, and the second idiot glanced at the map.They still have to walk for a month to reach Los Angeles.

The beggar thought for a while and said, "Do you want to hire another bullock cart?"

The second idiot shook his head and said, "No, we don't have much money, and we have to guarantee our food for the rest. It may not be the same as Licheng when we arrive in Luocheng."

I'm afraid it's similar to Li Cheng.

The beggar also thought of this, and said, "Then let's buy more dry food."

The three of them each carried a lot of dry food on their backs, and walked all the way in the direction of Luocheng.After walking back and forth for nearly two months, they arrived outside the city of Los Angeles. The three of them sat and rested not far from the city gate, watching the beggars who kept entering the city and fell silent.

As expected by the second idiot, a large number of beggars flooded into Los Angeles.It will be even more difficult for them to beg for food here.

There was no way to get here, the three of them could only take one step at a time, they rested outside the city for one night and entered the city the next day.

The beggar bought two pancakes from the stall, and the three of them shared them.The beggar sighed: "Luo City is indeed one of the three major cities, and the degree of prosperity is not comparable to that of Jingshui City."

"Look at the clothes of the people here. The clothes of ordinary people are better than ours."

The idiot nodded, and the second idiot remained silent.

The beggar looked at him and said, "Second idiot, what's wrong with you?"

Along the way, he passed by many cities, and the expression of the second idiot never changed.The beggar sometimes thinks that his estimate is wrong, and the second idiot may not be what he thinks, he is the lost young master from some family.

There was a faint remorse in his heart, but he told himself that the feeling was right.

Now that the second idiot showed such an expression, he naturally wanted to ask.

The second idiot said: "We don't have too much money. From this state of affairs, it is not easy for us to survive in Los Angeles."

It turned out that he was thinking about this, and the beggar was even more disappointed. He didn't show it on the surface, and said: "If we can't survive in Los Angeles, we can't go to other places."

Big cities are always better than small cities.
