Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Chapter 13
"Hit the bamboo board, listen to me
Opium was originally born abroad, but once it entered China, it became a hero;
How to smoke foreign cigarettes, one exhausts the energy and the other sucks poor;

Three meals, tea and rice are difficult to eat and clothe, and clothes are poor in four seasons;
The fifth watch is cold and less covered, and the six relatives do not recognize but only recognize the zither;
There is no way to open the seven pieces, just because the horoscope is not completed;

After careful consideration, there is no isolation, and there is a high hanging rope on the hanging beam. "

On both sides of the road, one is the upper-class lords pointing out the country in the opium den, drunk and dreaming of death, and the other is the bottom-level people kneeling and begging at the base of the wall, struggling hard.

Cheng Nuo couldn't bear it, so he handed over all the money on his body to Li Laosan.

"Old Li, I don't know much about the food in Beiping City. You can use this money to pick up some cheap hot food and share it with them."

Li Laosan was a little hesitant, holding the money and said: "Sir, this. It won't take so much."

Cheng Nuo shook his head and said, "You can buy as much as you can. I'm afraid some people won't be able to survive tonight in such a cold day. Let's have a full meal before the end. As for your salary, Lao Li, I'll wait until I get back." I'll get it for you at the inn."

"Sir, what are you talking about? Is our old Li such a person?" Li Laosan argued for himself.

Cheng Nuo waved his hand and said, "One size is one size. You can't treat your own people badly. Before the stall is confiscated, Lao Li should hurry up and buy."

"Got it."

I had a total of two yuan and eighty-five cents on me, and steamed corn bread with corn noodles and sweet potato noodles was very cheap. It didn't cost much to wrap a small stall, but the seat of the rickshaw was stuffed to the brim.

So the two bought and gave away, and when they saw a beggar, they divided the two corned buns, and then turned around and left. After the whole scene, they almost went around half of the Forty-Nine City, and many steamed bun vendors closed their stalls early and went home.

In Qianfu Hutong, after delivering the last beggar, the two who had been busy for a long time were also very tired, leaning on both sides of the rickshaw, the food in their stomachs had already been digested, and they were a little hungry.

Unexpectedly, Li Laosan conjured up a bun from nowhere, and handed it over: "Hey, sir, are you hungry, I have one left, eat it while it's hot."

"Haha, it has to be you, Old Li." Cheng Nuo laughed loudly, instead of eating alone, he gave half of the buns to him: "You are much more tired than me when you pull the car and run back and forth. This half is for you to eat."

Here, Youngest Li accepted the wowotou, and Cheng Nuo was just about to eat the half in his hand, when a little beggar appeared out of nowhere.

The little beggar didn't speak, but stared straight at Cheng Nuo's bun.

Cheng Nuo thought he wasn't full just now, but now he was hungry again, so he wanted to keep asking for half of it.

Smiling, he prepared to give the little beggar the corn bread in his hand.

Unexpectedly, the little beggar shook his head and didn't accept it. Instead, he stretched out his hand hidden behind his back, and it turned out to be a complete bun inside.

This is what Li Laosan sent to them just now. Seeing that Cheng Nuo was hungry, he took the initiative to give one to them.

Cheng Nuo was very moved. He squatted down and touched his messy little head, and said, "Brother, this half is enough. You can keep the rest for eating."

The little beggar also had a stubborn temper, and he still refused to take back his outstretched hand, making a babbling sound from his mouth.

Could it be that this is a mute! ?

Li Laosan frowned, quickly came over and bent down to the child and said, "Baby, stick out your tongue and let me see."

The little beggar stuck out his tongue obediently, which surprised Cheng Nuo and the others.

It was scalded with scars by someone who didn't know what, and this caused him to be unable to speak, and could only utter some simple syllables.

Dumbness is not born, but man-made.

Li Laosan let out a long sigh: "Oh, poor boy, it seems that the beggar chiefs made up his posture, and the only thing he wanted was to make people feel bad and ask for more money. What a bunch of sons of bitches!"

When the little beggar saw that they didn't accept them, he stuffed the cornbread into Cheng Nuo's arms, and then ran away without turning his head.

How could this work? Cheng Nuo was still thinking about how to help this little beggar.

Hurry up to greet Lao Li and go after him.

"Old Li, come here, let's catch up with this kid quickly, we can't let him just run away like this."

I never expected how this little beggar could run like this, and I almost lost it a few times. Old Li knew a lot of ways, and he took a shortcut to catch up. In the end, he turned around and came to a broken house that was about to collapse. forward.

At this time, the little beggar also found the two of them, and his originally kind face suddenly became vigilant, and picked up the road bricks beside him, babbling and threatening them not to approach.

Cheng Nuo hurriedly came forward and explained: "We have no malicious intentions, we are here to help you."

Li Laosan also said: "Boy, we are not the teeth of that peddler, but we are here to help you."

After suffering so much and being deceived so much in these years, it is very difficult for the little beggar to let go of his vigilance just because of two or three sentences, otherwise he would not be dumbed down, and his emotions are still very excited.

Just as the scene was stalemate and there was no progress, a weak voice suddenly came from the broken house.

"Brother, what are you doing? What's going on outside? Cough, cough."

Before he finished speaking, there was a violent cough, which made people breathless.

Regardless of continuing the confrontation, the little beggar was very anxious, threw the brick in his hand aside and quickly got in.

Cheng Nuo and the two looked at each other, and followed behind to see what happened.

On a pile of wheat straw in the corner of the house, I saw the little beggar hugging a thinner little guy who kept patting his back, who was younger in age from appearance.

When the cough got better, the little beggar hurriedly took out another steamed bun from his bosom, and wanted to pass it to the little guy.

Good guy, the little beggar divided two corn buns in total, one was returned to Cheng Nuo, and the other was actually left to someone else, and he didn't eat a bite.

But the little guys didn't accept the wowotou, but gave way to each other instead.

"Brother, I'm not hungry yet. You've been tired outside for a day. You can eat. Cough, cough."

Before he finished speaking, he coughed violently again. He exhaled more air than inhaled, and it seemed that he was going to die.

Cheng Nuo couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked up the little guy and ran outside without saying a word.

This time the little beggar finally didn't resist so much, he babbled and followed behind, as if to cheer up the little guy.

There are also children in the family. As a father, Li Laosan naturally couldn't see this scene, and the rickshaw was pulled over.

"Sir, put that baby in my car, so it can run faster."

"Okay, Lao Li, let's go to the nearest clinic and see which one is closest." Knowing that the matter was urgent and life was at stake, Cheng Nuo put the little guy on the rickshaw without any hesitation.

In order to hurry on the road as soon as possible, Li Laosan tried his best to feed his mother.

As for Cheng Nuo, the little beggar, one was pulling the cart on the side and the other was pushing the cart behind, all thinking about exerting as much force as they could.

Fortunately, it was in the city after all. With the help of everyone, they found a clinic not long after. Seeing that the lights were still on, Cheng Nuo didn't even have time to say hello, so he went in with the little guy in his arms.

"Doctor, look at this kid, he's about to die!"
