Chapter 8
"puff!"

Liu Ye'er looked at this small pitch-black face, with a pair of big eyes rolling round and round, it was so cute that it didn't work.

Finally couldn't help laughing out.

"Hmph!" Fat Miao'er twitched her nose unhappily.

Raising his hand to wipe his cheek vigorously, his dark eyes stared over, full of doubts.

It seems to be asking: why?
"It's safer this way!" Liu Ye'er explained: "We are beggars, we have no father or mother, what if we are kidnapped, what should we do? If we make it dirty and ugly, no one will come to attack us. "

"It makes sense!" Fat Miao'er nodded approvingly after listening.

He boasted without hesitation: "Ye Er, you are so smart!"

Fat Miao'er said, looking at the past carefully.

At this time, Liu Ye'er was wearing a large long robe, which was loosely hung on her shoulders, with a jet-black face and raised hair, at first glance she really looked like a boy.

Especially since she is only nine years old, which is the age at which male and female are indistinguishable.

If it wasn't for Fat Miao'er's special ability to recognize people, she wouldn't be able to tell whether she was a man or a woman at all.

"I'm not smart. I was told by a beggar I knew before." Liu Ye'er shook her head and sighed: "Unfortunately, she fell ill last winter and already..."

Liu Ye'er didn't say the rest, Fat Miao'er already understood.

This person must be gone.

She raised her hand to smooth Liu Ye'er's frown: "Ye'er, don't be sad."

"I'm fine!" Liu Ye'er smiled lightly, birth, old age, sickness and death often happen.

She has seen too much, but she is not used to it yet.

"Come on, I'll help you get it off easily." Liu Ye'er cheered up, pulled Fat Miao'er, and sat on the floor.

Reaching out his hand, he fiddled with her little face.

I have to say that Liu Ye'er's craftsmanship is very good.

Almost in the time it took for a stick of incense, a lucky doll that appeared in a New Year painting turned into a dark little bean.

"It's very good, I can't see it, and you must not reveal your identity."

Liu Ye'er was afraid that Fat Miao'er would leak her words, so she told her repeatedly.

"Mmm! Mmm!" Fat Miao'er Chick nodded as if pecking rice, and glanced sideways.

Even though she was just a cat in her previous life, she is older than Liu Ye'er.

She knows a lot.

Fat Miao'er raised his jaw, thinking proudly.

Taking advantage of her dazed effort, Liu Ye'er has already brought in the straw that had been dried before.

"Let's lay the floor."

Liu Ye'er called out, Fat Miao'er ran over, squatted down, pouted her little buttocks and picked straws slowly, gathered them together according to Liu Ye'er's request, and placed them neatly.

The two of them were like this, one by one, one by one, and I don't know how long it took, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Liu Ye'er's face, and she raised her hand to wipe it off.

Afraid that the smooth forehead would be exposed, he hurriedly grabbed some ashes and slapped it on, saying, "Fatty Meow, you can lie down and try to see if the size is enough, if not, let's spread it again."

"Okay!" Fat Miaoer agreed.

The body tilted, and with a "plop", the fleshy body spread its hands and feet, and fell in a large font on the straw pile.

"Just right." Fat Miao'er twisted and rubbed her buttocks, except for a little pain, there was nothing wrong with it.

"Enough is enough."

Liu Ye'er smiled, looking at Fat Miao'er with warm eyes.

She used to have a little sister, if she was still alive, she would be as old as Fat Miao'er, but unfortunately...

Liu Ye'er shook her head, chasing away the unknown emotions, went back to her floor to find some discarded rags, and spread them on Fat Meow'er's straw.

clatter!clatter!clatter!
Suddenly, there was a sound of small footsteps outside, Liu Ye'er's heart tightened, as if being grabbed by a big hand, her body also froze unconsciously.

She moved the corners of her mouth, squeezed out a smile, and guessed: "But, it may be Uncle Gui who came."

Uncle Gui is an old beggar.

He is also the beggar leader of Liu Ye'er and the others, and he is in charge of their area.

He doesn't come often, he only appears once a month. Every time he appears, Liu Ye'er and the others have to hand in the prepared offerings.

If there is no, or less, someone will be unlucky, so in many cases, his appearance means disaster.

With a "creak", the tattered wooden door was pushed open from the outside.

A disheveled, ragged, middle-aged man in his 40s and [-]s appeared in the temple.

He held a thin stick in his left hand, and held a bowl with his hand. There was a gap at the mouth of the bowl, and he looked like a beggar.

Needless to say, this person is none other than Uncle Gui as Liu Ye'er was talking about.

"Uncle Gui!"

Liu Ye'er got up quickly, walked over quickly, subconsciously clenched her lowered hand a little, and called out timidly.

"En!" Uncle Gui let out a tone from his nose indifferently, as a reply.

He turned his gaze, landed on Fat Miao'er, stretched out his hand and asked, "Is this new?"

No wonder he couldn't recognize Fat Meow.

For one thing, he doesn't come here often, and he is not very familiar with the situation in the nearby villages, especially the children in the village.

Secondly, Fat Miao'er is young, dressed up by Liu Ye'er, apart from the fact that her chubby body is a bit inconsistent, there is really no problem, she is a proper little boy.

"Yeah, I'm new here."

Without Liu Ye'er's help, Fat Miao'er answered Uncle Gui's question neatly.

Her expression was open and frank, without any restraint, let alone any fear, her eyes showed the innocence that only children can have.

Uncle Gui didn't think much after hearing this, and took a look before turning his gaze away.

Facing Liu Ye'er who was standing beside him, he said, "Have you explained all the rules to him clearly?"

Uncle Gui's voice was rare and kind, and he welcomed the new little beggar very much.

This means that he will receive one more offering in the future.

"Not yet."

After Uncle Gui's reminder, Liu Ye'er finally remembered one thing that she had missed - worship!
She couldn't help being a little worried, Fat Miao'er was young and had no experience in begging, and she might not even be able to manage her own food, so how would she make an offering to your uncle.

Liu Ye'er suppressed her fear and begged for mercy.

"Uncle Gui, Fat Miao'er just arrived, can you give her some relief?"

"Exemption?"

Uncle Gui frowned, showing a bit of displeasure, and he was relieved after thinking about it.

"Okay, this month's offerings will be reduced first, and the rest will be discussed later!"

Uncle Gui waved his hand and agreed to Liu Ye'er's suggestion.

He moved the stool and sat down beside him, after Liu Ye'er handed over her offering (five coins), Uncle Gui couldn't wait to say.

"Since you live in the beggar's temple, according to the rules, you must hand in the offerings. You are new here, so you should charge less first, and hand in three Wen in a month, otherwise..."
