Old Man's Begging Stick

Gouzi was very surprised: "Ah, we are going to leave Xiaoyan Town tomorrow, where can we go?" Since Gouzi can remember, he has shuttled through the streets and alleys of Xiaoyan Town. The whole person was dumbfounded.

Wen Heng said lightly: "I always feel that it is not safe for us to stay in Xiaoyan Town. I heard that there is a Qingcheng Town next door, which is bigger than Xiaoyan Town. We can go there and have a look."

Gouzi was unhappy: "Aheng, old Wentou just passed away, so you have to leave"

Isn't it too heartless and ungrateful? Although they are beggars who live in no fixed place, they just roll up a mat and throw it on the side of the road when they die.But Xiaoyan Town is different for Gouzi. His childhood lived here, and Old Wentou and his grandfather stayed here.He doesn't want to leave.

Wen Heng smiled gently, and then rubbed Gouzi's soft hair: "Old Wen is gone, we want to live, and live better. Only when we go to a bigger place can we have more food. It's winter, and Little Rock is in trouble, and it's going to be a tough winter."

Gouzi thinks about it, this is the same reason, many beggars freeze to death every winter, and old Wentou said when he was alive, this winter will be particularly cold.Ah Heng is not very good at begging. Whether the two of them can survive is really a problem.Old Wentou still had someone to collect his body. If he and A Heng died of starvation, there would be no one to collect the body.

Gouzi thought for a long time, and finally agreed sullenly: "Alright then, I'll go talk to Sanhu and the others tomorrow."

Wen Heng was puzzled: "The three tigers are still beating you, what are you going to say to them when you leave?"

Gouzi rolled his eyes: "The dilapidated temple we worked so hard to build, we left as soon as we said, what a waste. Before leaving, tell Sanhu and them that if there are little beggars, they can live here. Everyone is begging in Xiaoyan Town , In the past, it was for one bite, to survive. Now we are leaving, if we have a chance to meet again in the future, we can be regarded as fellow villagers.”

I really can't tell that the sallow-faced and thin Gouzi is really smooth in dealing with people, Wen Heng feels ashamed.

The dog rubbed the leopard's limbs, and the leopard grinned, but the dog was not afraid at all.He tore off the pheasant's neck and put it near the leopard's mouth: "Come on, you want to eat some."

Wen Heng said calmly: "Don't worry about it, it will find food by itself."

leopard:……

That's how you treat your apprentice!How dishonest!The stubborn leopard turned its head away and ignored the two beggars.Strange to say, when staying beside Wen Heng, Leopard felt that his breath was covered.There must be something precious on Wen Heng's body that can cover up his aura and demonic aura.

Gouzi hasn't been able to rest well for the past two days, and the departure of Old Wentou makes him feel miserable.After eating the pheasant, Gouzi hugged the leopard and went to sleep. Of course, the leopard refused, but it was useless.He needs to compress the monster power to the limit to become such a small monster, and he can feel that Lian Wushang is nearby.

The leopard raised its severed limb and rested it on its nose, and its ears kept an eye on the wind and grass around it.The light of the candle flickered on and off, and finally went out, turning into a wisp of blue smoke.

Wen Heng sat at the door looking at the sleeping dog, and then tried to close his eyes. He also imagined that he could sleep and eat like a normal person.In the darkness, Wen Heng smelled a faint scent of lotus, and he saw a green lotus quietly blooming in the darkness.It's weird to see...

When he opened his eyes again, the sun had already shone softly on his body.He actually dreamed of a lotus flower!And watch this lotus fall asleep!After Wen Heng himself was surprised, he always felt that this was some kind of enlightenment given to him by the Dao of Heaven.

After Gouzi woke up, he started to clean up the things in the ruined temple. To be honest, there was nothing to clean up. Before rebuilding the ruined temple, everything that needed to be cleaned up was cleaned up.

There is a broken cart in the ruined temple, and the two lower wheels are broken.Wen Heng turned the cart over, even though they were beggars, they still had some things to bring, and it was tiring to carry all those broken bowls and pots on their backs.There is a broken scooter, at least it can save some effort.

Wen Heng looked at the broken wheel, and he remembered that when he was in the North Alley, he saw the old man who made the coffin with tools, maybe he could help repair the broken scooter.He picked up the cart: "Dog, I'm going to repair the car."

Ergou packed several bags of things, including all sorts of messes, without raising his head: "You go, I'll talk to Sanhu and the others later. Where are you going to get the car repaired?"

Wen Heng had gone far away, only heard him say the word 'North Lane'.Looking at Wen Heng carrying such a big broken car, Gouzi shrugged his shoulders: "When did the relationship with that eccentric old man in Beixiang become so good?"

As soon as the old man in Beixiang opened the door, he saw Wen Heng smiling and cupping his hands: "Old man, I'm here to trouble you again."

The old man paused: "They all avoid me, why do you come here again and again, you are not afraid of bad luck."

People in their line of work are not good at dealing with people. The North Alley is close to the mass grave, and there are not many people walking around on weekdays. There are only a few houses in the entire North Alley, and they are all selling coffins and burning paper. shops.

The old man was displeased: "What's the matter with you?" He skillfully removed half of the door panel, which is regarded as opening the door to welcome guests.The old man looked at the dilapidated cart: "Your old cart is useless, what are you using it for?"

Wen Heng smiled and said, "I saw that the old man had tools at home, and I want to borrow your tools to repair this broken scooter." The old man was silent for a while: "You are a beggar, why do you want to repair the broken scooter?"

Wen Heng felt that the old man in the coffin shop might not be an ordinary person, so he guessed his purpose twice.But it’s okay, Wen Heng has nothing to shame, the old man casually stuffed the pipe with tobacco: “This car is no longer usable, I’ll make you a new one.”

Just as Wen Heng wanted to express his gratitude, the old man stretched out his rough hand and waved it: "Don't thank me first, I have conditions."

Wen Heng said politely: "Please tell me, old man."

The old man knocked the dry pipe on the wooden chair: "My surname is Zhang, you can call me Old Zhang. I have a distant relative in Jinling City, which is far away from here. You are begging anyway, so can you send me a letter?" give him no"

Wen Heng thought for a while, he didn't know where Jinling City was, and he didn't know what might change in the future, so it wasn't easy to agree.

Seeing Wen Heng's hesitation, Lao Zhang took a few puffs of dry tobacco in succession, and the shredded tobacco ignited in the bong, exuding a thick and choking smell.He took a puff of smoke: "I didn't ask you to deliver it at a certain time. If you pass by Jinling City, please send a letter for me."

Wen Heng was delighted when he heard it. What kind of request is this? If he doesn't keep his word and just doesn't deliver the letter, Old Zhang doesn't know.Sending the letter is just a convenient act, since the old man didn't give a deadline, he will take over this matter.

After figuring it out, Wen Heng cupped his hands at Lao Zhang's head: "May I ask you, old man, where are your relatives living in Jinling City?"

The old man let out a puff of smoke ring: "You are sincere. Over the years, I have asked many people to deliver letters for me, and then I have not heard from them. Many people agreed without asking for information about my relatives. Hehe... ...My old Zhangtou is just a nobody who makes a coffin, and all he can do is a little hand and foot business. You go back first, and I will tell you about my relative tomorrow, and tomorrow you come to pick up your cart."

Wen Heng bowed his hands to Lao Zhang's head: "Thank you, Mr. Lao." Then he turned and left.

Looking at Wen Heng's leaving back, the old Zhangtou exhaled a long puff of smoke: "For those who are lucky... Xiaoyan Town is about to change, and my old man should also change places."

Wen Heng always felt that Lao Zhang had a strange head, maybe he was a monk.But what does this have to do with him? He just needs to pick up the cart tomorrow, and then take the letter from old Zhangtou, and pass it to the relatives of old Zhangtou when passing by Jinling City, and forget about the cause and effect. .

Walking past Xinghualou on crutches, Wen Heng looked back at the scorched ground, some people stopped in front of Xinghualou and pointed.Looking at this posture, another restaurant will be built here soon.

Walking slowly along the road, Wen Heng was suddenly stopped by Boss Huang at the side of the road: "Hey, little beggar, come here!"

Wen Heng came back to his senses, and bowed politely to Boss Huang: "Boss Huang." This Boss Huang's house serves breakfast, and he often leaves some steamed buns for old Wentou.

Boss Huang held a hard steamed bun in his hand: "I haven't seen you these two days. The old beggar Huatui specially left the steamed bun for you." Wen Heng looked into Boss Huang's eyes: "Old Wentou has passed away. If he knows You specially left steamed buns for him, he will be very happy."

Boss Huang was taken aback, he didn't expect this result, he rubbed his hands awkwardly: "He passed away... I didn't expect it." Boss Huang put the hard steamed buns into Wen Heng's arms: "Death cannot be resurrected, you Sorry." Then I didn't know what to say.

Wen Heng bowed to Boss Huang: "Thank you." Boss Huang waved his hand: "It's okay, what are your plans in the future?" Boss Huang looked at Wen Heng's side. This tall man seemed to eat a lot, but He is very strong, if he wants, Boss Huang can accept him as a small laborer.

Wen Heng smiled slightly: "I'm going to take my dog ​​to another city to seek a living. Boss Huang, I have something to say. Listen to it if you believe it. Xiaoyan Town is no longer safe. You should take your family to another place to start over as soon as possible." " After finishing speaking, Wen Heng saluted Boss Huang again, leaving Boss Huang in a daze.

Wen Heng has already given Boss Huang a piece of advice, it is up to him whether he can listen to it or not.He is not a saint, he can't save everyone, and he doesn't want to be contaminated with too much karma.

Stuffing the hard steamed buns into the dirty cloth pocket, Wen Heng walked slowly towards the ruined temple.Turn around the small wooden bridge outside Xiaoyan Town, even if you leave the town, there are no people there.Go further and walk around a few small slopes to see the ruined temple.

A touch of blue on the side of the road suddenly attracted Wen Heng's attention. He took a closer look and saw a person fell down on the side of the road!Wen Heng took three steps and walked over in two steps: "Hey, wake up!"

Wen Heng gently pushed the person on the ground, but there was no response from the person. He walked around in front of the person and was stunned with just one glance.This person is too good-looking, his complexion is white and lustrous, even with his eyes closed, it is difficult to hide his peerless elegance.There is a cinnabar mole between the eyebrows...Wen Heng is in trouble whether it is a man or a woman.

But he quickly came to the answer - a man.Because he has an Adam's apple!The cyan robe didn't look feminine at all on him, but it made him look extremely elegant and elegant.

No matter how elegant it is, everyone will fall down!

"It's him." It was the person who gave him a copper coin the day before yesterday. How could he fall down on the side of the road? Wen Heng put his hand to the tip of that person's nose. Fortunately, he was still breathing.

"Are you hungry?" There are many beggars lying on the side of the road, but this man doesn't look like a beggar at all. The jade hairpin he wears is very expensive.Wen Heng thought, there must be something wrong with this person, and if he was taken away, something might happen if he just collapsed on the side of the road and was seen by others.After all, this person looks too good-looking...

Wen Heng thought for a while, broke off half of a hard steamed bun and soaked it in some water, the steamed bun had a bit of a smell, but it shouldn't be a problem, if you are really hungry, half a steamed bun can save your life!Unable to explain, Wen Heng pried open the man's mouth, and forcefully stuffed half a bowl of soaked steamed buns into it.

The man frowned slightly, Wen Heng was almost stunned, and then he turned his head with a blushing face.As a man, this man is so beautiful that even frowns are so beautiful.It seems to be a blasphemy to him at a glance.

Wen Heng bent down, carried him on his back and walked towards the ruined temple.The elegant lotus fragrance lingers on the tip of Wen Heng's nose, Wen Heng only feels that his heart is beating so cheaply, he obviously didn't jump before, but he just jumped like this when he saw a beauty.Wen Heng's old face turned red...

The author has something to say: Wen Heng: Do you believe in love at first sight?

Lian Wushang: I don't believe it.

Wen Heng: I fell in love with you at first sight!

Lian Wushang: It is not uncommon for there to be thousands if not tens of thousands in the Yuanling Realm who are crying and chasing after me.

Wen Heng: ... [by Master who has nothing to say]
