Chapter 17 Xinghua Village

//

"Where else can we go? Just run away. The main reason is that they are afraid of you, so they can only live in a foreign land."

Xin Youji set his sights on Lu Xiaoxian's "black slave".

"Then where are you going to stay?" Lu Xiaoxian also noticed Xin Youji's gaze.

"Actually, they didn't know where they were going at that time, and they couldn't reach a conclusion through discussion. Since they didn't know where they were going, they just strode forward. After walking around for three or four days, they arrived at Xinghua Village."

Xin Youji saw that the sword in Lu Xiaoxian's hand was not enough, so he moved forward and touched it with his hand.

"Children, don't use sharp objects. Let's talk about what happens next."

Lu Xiaoxian wouldn't let him touch the sword in his hand.

Xin Youji was a little disappointed and said: "Oh, it's a pity that my heroic dream has worn out my feet following them. When we arrived at Xinghua Village, we found an inn to stay. But we didn't have much money, so we could only have five people.

Crowded in a room, ordering a plate of food and a bucket of rice, that was our life. Did you know? Later, everyone pooled all the money together, but it was still not enough for the room, so they were kicked out. You don't know,

How embarrassed we were at that time. We were laughed at by the store owner, who complained about our miserable life, which made the neighbors laugh and point at us. I won’t let you know what he said and said, it was really embarrassing. After I moved out, I found a shabby room on the corner of the street.

The house was used as a place to live. It was dilapidated and leaky, but it was somewhat stable. Huang Erlingzi, in order to let us eat, wrote a sign, hung it around his neck, and ran around in the streets.

.”

"What brand is it written on?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxian had some thoughts.

"What other brand could it be? I'm just selling myself."

"Prostitute yourself, or be a big man?"

Lu Xiaoxian felt uneasy when he heard this.

"Then what else can I do? I don't know anything, and I only have a lot of energy, so I can only work hard as a slave."

"I thought..." Lu Xiaoxian coughed.

"What do you think? It's hard to find work these days. Just like that, the two idiots and the big fat people can't even feed us when they go out to work. The main reason is that there is too little work, and there are a lot of strong people. The Su family brothers also

I went to the fields and mountains to dig some wild vegetables to satisfy my hunger, and I spent several months like this." Xin Youji spoke tirelessly like an old storyteller.

"Are you so miserable? Why don't you want to come back?"

Lu Xiaoxian felt a trace of sympathy in his heart. Even though the beautiful mountains and rivers passed by him, he didn't take it in his eyes. Instead, he was attracted by the stories of these guys.

"He's not just Huang Erling. He's afraid of being embarrassed when he goes back and being looked down upon by everyone. The main reason is that he's afraid that you'll look down on him." Xin Youji glanced at Lu Xiaoxian. Lu Xiaoxian had no expression and looked straight ahead seriously. He then said, "That's not all.

Miserable, there are even worse things. One day, Erluzi suddenly came home early, with a roast chicken in his hand. He left the roast chicken to us and said, "You guys eat quickly, I've already eaten it."

After saying that, he hurried out. Do you know where this roast chicken came from? "

"How did it come about? Tell me."

Lu Xiaoxian's calm face showed a hint of bitterness. Normally, he would have said he stole it, but this time he didn't say it.

"I stole it, hahaha. You don't know that the second son of the Su family is sick. I don't know what the disease is. He is sallow and thin, has fever and vomiting, and has a stomachache. I have called a doctor, but it has been several days, and there is no improvement. The second idiot

Seeing that this was not the way to go, I stole a roasted chicken and came back to give him some oil and water. But someone else found him and chased him all the way. This guy ran fast, put down the chicken and went out.

After a while, I heard someone shouting to catch the thief, and I chased the second brother noisily in the direction where he left. When I came back in the evening, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. When I asked him, he said he was fine and went to sleep alone."

Xin Youji seemed to have approved of Erluozi.

"Then he is considered a leader and has some sense of responsibility."

Lu Xiaoxian's face showed relief.

"No, don't look at him wandering around in Lihua Town. It's not bad when we go out. We have something to eat together. A chicken drumstick is divided into five portions. Especially after being ridiculed by the store, he treats us better. But from now on

Ever since we were stealing chickens, we have been targeted by street gangsters. They knew that we were from out of town and easy to bully. They punched and kicked us and threatened us for a while. There were so many of them that we couldn't beat them. But every time the second brother said no.

Money, I gave them a few copper coins after being beaten."

Xin Youji said, there was a bitter look on his face at such a young age.

"Since you can't beat them, just give it to them. Why do you still need to be beaten?"

A bad thought flashed through Lu Xiaoxian's mind, didn't he deserve a beating?

"Look, you are not as good as the second brother. After a beating, the pain will be gone in a few days, and you can give them a lot less money. If you give it to them happily, they will think that we still have money, so they will beat us again.

After a meal, you will have to pay twice. This is the little idea of ​​the second brother, but his little idea goes beyond that. One day, when the eldest son of the Su family was sleeping, he accidentally sent a message under the headboard of the bed.

The cloth bag was full of copper coins and a few pieces of broken silver. Everyone was dumbfounded, but the second brother said: "You have very free hands, don't put it back." At this time, the boss of the Su family asked: "Second brother,

Are you hiding personal money?’ Guess what?”

"What's wrong? Tell me."

Lu Xiaoxian did look curious when he heard it.

"Seeing that the faces of the brothers were all dark, he slowly lay down and told the truth with a smile on his face. It turned out that he had already set his sights on a corner in the street. He planned to do some business, but he hadn't decided yet.

What are you doing here? So he secretly saved money, so that he would have a way to make a living, and his life would be easier in the future. As he spoke, he put a bamboo stick in his mouth and crossed his legs. He looked a little cool, and he looks like fighting with you.

It’s a different kind of experience than that.”

Xin Youji looked at Lu Xiaoxian and giggled.

Lu Xiaoxian also looked at him and chuckled, "Then he still prefers to use his brain."

"No, soon he led everyone to get it done and started selling pork. We have a clear division of labor. He and Big Fatty moved the goods, and the Su brothers set up the stall. It's not bad, the business is very good."

"Everyone has a job, but you're a little brat, what are you doing?"

Lu Xiaoxian looked at Xin Youji, waiting for him to tell him the reason.

"Oh, I can be of great use, Mr. Accountant."

Xin Youji looked pleased with himself.

"Oh, what happened to you next?"

"Later, I was bullied. Butcher Zhang in the town knew that we were robbing their business, so he sent gangsters to come and make trouble and beat people up. There was nothing we could do. The leader of the gangsters was Butcher Zhang's eldest son. Later he agreed to give us to others.

The protection fee is two taels of silver per month. But how can we have so much money? We only earn three or four taels of silver every month. Later, the second brother calculated it and realized that he could still make some money if he gave the money, so he paid it every month.

, and then I felt stable for a while.”

Xin Youji will find a tavern in the future, and he can feed himself with just this mouth.
