Three and a half women in four courtyards

Chapter 69

When Wu Laqin came out of the school, he felt relaxed all over his body, and there was a sweet smell in the air he breathed.

He walked around Liangzhufu Street for a long time, and there was a problem that was bothering him all the time.

Should I go home or not?Going home, that annoying Sasaki will definitely chase him home.At that time, not only will he be arrested and returned to school, but his family will also be affected.

If you don't go home, where should you go?

Half a day has passed, and my stomach is growling, which means I am hungry.

He came to a sesame seed stand and bought a sesame seed.

Just as Wu Laqin put the biscuit in his mouth, he suddenly saw a dozen pairs of eyes looking at him from the base of the wall.

He felt strange, why did Yong Wu (because) look at me?

If you look closely, these people are dressed in rags, and they are sitting or lying in the lee of the wall.

Their hair is frizzy (messy) and every hair seems to be sticking to the sky, and they are never combed.

The faces of these people were the kind of black covered with grime.His eyes were chattering, and he suddenly stared at Wu Laqin, not at his person, but at the biscuits in his hand.

Before Wu Laqin understood what was going on, someone behind him suddenly spit on his sesame seed cake.

Wu Laqin looked at the man, who looked exactly like the man on the wall.

Looking at the spitting sesame seed cakes again, I felt sick, so I threw the sesame seed cakes on the ground.

The spitting man picked it up right away, and ate it hungrily.

Wu Laqin looked at those people at the base of the wall again, and swallowed together.

Wu Laqin also escaped the famine, and she used to have this look, but she had never been so hungry.

No way, he went to the biscuit stand again and bought a biscuit.

Just as he was about to leave, the sesame seed seller called out to him: "Ang! Little boy, look at your sleek (very clean) clothes, which family's son are you?"

Wu Laqin didn't reply after hearing this, but just smiled slightly.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the sesame seed seller grabbed him and said in a low voice, "Boy, just eat the sesame seed cakes at my stall, and don't let those beggars snatch them away!"

Wu Laqin nodded, stood in front of the biscuit stall, and ate the biscuits.

Seeing that he was hiccupping after eating, the sesame seed seller handed him the water bottle and asked him to drink a couple of sips of water.

Wu Laqin bowed to him gratefully.

"Hey! This kid is really sensible!" After Wu Laqin left, the sesame seed seller looked at his back and said.

After wandering the streets all day, Wu Laqin hadn't figured out where to go.

Seeing the sun set, the sky gradually darkened.

Wu Laqin suddenly realized, where should I live this afternoon (tonight)?

While he was worrying, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder from behind.

Wu Laqin looked back and didn't recognize him.

I saw that this person was about the same age as Wu Laqin, but half a head taller than Wu Laqin.

He was dressed in rags, with a ragged jacket and ragged pants patched one after another.

The man's hands were black and covered with cracks, and his feet were wearing a pair of torn felt bumps, which were a little hard to hang on his feet.

Looking at this image, Wu Laqin thought of how he pretended to be fleeing famine and begging for food from Jiuquan Lotus Moon Mountain, and felt a little inexplicably kind in his heart.

"Ang! My name is Er Tie, can we be friends?"

Er Dian and Wu Laqin met each other's eyes, and grinned, revealing all their white teeth.

"Oh? You?" Wu Laqin looked at him, but did not dare to agree.

"Ang, I'm ten years old, how old are you?" Er Dian continued to chat with him.

"Ang, nine years old," Wu Laqin said, "why don't you go home with Wu?"

"Ang, my family is from Weizigouchuan. My father is a local rich man who cooks pots. My mother died. My father married me a stepmother. This stepmother treats me badly and makes me work all day long. He beat me up every now and then. When I got angry, I ran out. What about you? Where are you from?"

"Oh? Me?" Wu Laqin thought to himself, he couldn't tell him that he had escaped from the school, so he said, "I, my dad and I came to Liangzhufu for the first time. I didn't expect that there were so many people in Liangzhufu. So I got separated and didn't find my father."

"Ang, where are you going to live at night?" After hearing what Wu Laqin said, Er Tie's eyes lit up, "If you don't have a place to live, you can live with me. Who made us friends!"

"Aren't you from Weizigouchuan? After running away from home, is there still a place to live in this Liangchu Mansion?" Wu Laqin asked suspiciously.

"Ang, you don't know about that." Er Tieda rolled his eyes and said, "My dad doesn't cook pots. He delivers liquor to restaurants and hotels in Liangzhufu all day long. Sometimes I also come to help I come and go here and there, and the owners of many restaurants and hotels on this street all know me. I don’t spend cash on food and lodging here, and I keep accounts. At the end of the month, my dad will settle the accounts.”

Holding Wu Laqin's hand, Er Tianda turned from the main street of Liangchufu to a small alley, and then turned east and west through some alleys. After walking for a long time, he came to a place with the words "Deer Mingchun" in front of the hotel.

By this time, it was already dark.

"Oh, choose a room, my brother and I will be living here today!" Er Dian yelled as he entered the door.

The shop clerk hurried over to say hello.As soon as he saw Er Tie, he wanted to refuse him to enter the house, but when he saw Wu Laqin, he changed his mind and hurried to invite him in.

Er Dian went on to say: "An, I'm starving to death, hurry up and fry some vegetables and add more meat!"

After speaking, he took Wu Laqin to a private room.As soon as the two of them sat down, the waiter hurried over to pour the tea.

Er Tian asked Wu Laqin to wait for the meal, and went to the hotel accountant to chat with the clerk for a while.

When Er Dian came back, the food had already been served.

The two of them ate and drank for a while, and made (eat) a meal.

After eating and drinking enough, the two rubbed their bellies and went back to the room to sleep.

Wu Laqin and Er Tianda gradually became acquainted, and the conversation started.

The two were talking about their own anecdotes, very happy, a little bit like seeing each other late.

They chatted until the third watch, and Wu Laqin was so sleepy that his eyes kept fighting.

As for Er Dian, it seems that his interest has not diminished, and he continues to talk (talking and chatting).

Wu Laqin listened to what Er Tianda said, and said "Mmm" twice without a word, and fell asleep unknowingly.

Wu Laqin was awakened by the sound of the hotel clerk cleaning the room.

He got up and wanted to put on his clothes, but found that the clothes were gone, so he asked the waiter, "Oh? Where are my clothes?"

He went to the ground to look for shoes to wear, but found that there were no shoes.

"Om? My shoe slime?"

The buddy brought over the torn cotton jacket and trousers.

"Oh? It's not mine, it's Ertian's. Where's mine?" Wu Laqin didn't pick up the clothes.

The clerk looked at him, thought for a while and said, "Oh, the tall man who came with you, went out early in the morning, saying that you were sick, and went to the street to buy you breakfast. Is it your clothes? clothes?"

"Oh? Am I sick? Am I not sick?" Wu Laqin asked suspiciously, "I didn't ask him to buy breakfast either!"

"Ang, then I don't know what's going on. You wait a moment, he comes back, you can ask him."

The guy packed up and went out.
