After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

Alas, who made himself unlucky to be targeted by a little beggar.

If she refuses to go with him, or if she has a mountain, then she will definitely be beaten up by this young beggar, and then caught and sold.

In his previous life, he had acted as a beggar, and also lived a life as a beggar, so he had a little understanding of the rules of the beggar gang.

Their begging is also divided into territories. If other beggars come over, they will either fight each other, and whoever wins will stay, or they will join each other.

He clearly couldn't beat this ten-year-old beggar, and he couldn't escape immediately, so he could only join them first.

Joining them also depends on ability. If her business ability is not good, she may still be taken away by this beggar and sold.

At that time, I will not respond every day, and the earth will not work.

The middle-aged woman looked at Yingbao with a pitiful expression, and took out a white flour steamed bun from the tribute basket she was carrying and handed it to her, "Take it and eat it, sorry to see you come out to beg for food at such a young age."

Ying Bao took it and thanked him, and ran back with the steamed buns to the boy.

Satisfied, the young beggar took half of the steamed bun and gave it to her, and ate the other half himself.

Yingbao was also hungry, squatting on the ground to eat steamed buns.

At this time, another pair of mother and daughter who were rushing to the temple fair came, and Ying Bao didn't wait for the boy's orders, and ran over to stretch out a pair of dirty hands.

In this way, in less than half an hour, Yingbao got back several steamed buns and pastries, as well as three Wen coins.

Only then did the young man let Yingbao rest and replace him.

But obviously this boy is not as likable as three or four-year-old children, and he may be a familiar face. People don't buy him, so they are unwilling to give him alms.

The young man was a little unhappy, with a face full of ruffians, and sometimes he would spit hard at the back of those who rejected him.

Therefore, Yingbao had no choice but to strike again.

Maybe children are too cute, even if they are so dirty that they can't be seen, there are still women who are willing to give her alms.

When Ying Bao came back with a bag full of food again, the young beggar's eyes sparkled, looking at her, it was like seeing a piece of golden dog's head gold.

"What's your name?" The boy sat down on the side of the road and asked.

Yingbao: "My name is Baoying. What's your name?"

The boy didn't answer directly, but said, "You will call me Brother Kui from now on."

Ying Bao obediently called out: "Brother Kui."

If we exchange names, we will recognize each other and worship the mountain.

Brother Kui obviously relaxed, and he was no longer as vigilant towards Ying Bao as before.

After the temple fair, Brother Kui led Yingbao to an abandoned temple.

This is a half-collapsed earth temple.

One wall had collapsed in half, and the other three barely supported the dilapidated roof.

Some dry grass was spread in the ruined temple, and four little beggars sat on the dry grass and laughed.

They are not very old, the oldest is no more than twelve or thirteen years old.

Among them were three boys and one girl, and the girl was only about eight or nine years old.

"Brother Kui, you're back." The girl greeted the beggar boy.

Seeing him holding a three or four-year-old little beggar by the hand, he couldn't help asking curiously, "Where did you pick it up?"

"At the temple fair." Brother Kui walked into the ruined temple and pointed to a corner: "Bao Ying, you will sleep there from now on."

Ying Bao looked over and nodded.

Brother Kui took out steamed buns and pastries from his pocket, but he didn't take out the three Wen coins. "Bao Ying begged for this, and she will be your little junior sister from now on."

Several little beggars smiled at Ying Bao, and handed over the dark food in their hands.

Yingbao didn't dislike it either, she took it and put it in her pocket.

The female beggar came and asked with a smile, "Why are you alone at the temple fair?"

Yingbao: "I got separated from my parents."

The girl looked at her with some sympathy, touched the muddy head, and said, "Let me help you comb your hair."

Yingbao shook her head quickly. "don't want."

She didn't want to comb the chicken nest hair she managed so hard to get. When she has the opportunity, she will rush home with the chicken nest hair on it.

Zhouhe County is about 100 miles away from Qinchuan County, and about a hundred miles away from Chuanhe Town.

As long as she follows the official path, she should be able to return home within ten days.

Seeing that Ying Bao was stubborn, the girl didn't insist, and turned around to light the fire with a flint to cook the food.

The beggars had a good harvest today. Not only did they cook a large pot of miscellaneous food, but they were also given a steamed bun and a pastry for each of them.

Yingbao also ate a bowl of boiled chowder before lying down in the corner.

Brother Kui brought a tattered mattress to protect her from the cold at night, and then lay down next to her.

Several little beggars huddled together and soon fell asleep.

Seeing that Brother Kui was still asleep, Yingbao asked tentatively, "Brother Kui, I lost touch with my parents, can you take me back, and my parents will definitely pay you a sum of money."

Brother Kui obviously didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "Are you sure your parents will pay me?"

Ying Bao nodded: "Sure."

Brother Kui sneered, "But I'm not sure. Rather than being thankless, it's better to sell you to the flower boat, and ten taels of silver will not be able to escape."

Yingbao's face darkened.

She knew that this beggar was not trustworthy at all.

Not only beggars, but even the entire county can't find anyone who is willing to send a strange child home all the way.

It's understandable for them not to believe in themselves, after all, no one can be sure whether a child's words can be fulfilled.

In the eyes of most people, she is a female doll, maybe she was intentionally abandoned by her family, so why are they willing to walk more than a hundred miles to send her home.

Therefore, Yingbao can only think of a way on her own.

Asking for others is better than asking for herself, so she will walk back by herself.

Alas, I suddenly disappeared, and I don't know what happened to my mother. My father, uncle and second uncle both went to work on the river, and there was only grandpa and grandma at home. They must be in a hurry.

The next day, snow particles fell from the sky.

The beggars in the Earth Temple were shivering from the cold, huddling under the straw nests and refusing to move.

Although Yingbao also felt cold, she could still bear it. She got up and went outside to solve major life issues, and then returned.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Brother Kui leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, seemingly staring at her all the time.

Ying Bao's face darkened, and he asked angrily, "Are you peeking at me?"

Brother Kui chuckled, "Little brat, so what about you."

Ying Bao was really angry, rushed over and kicked him hard, scolding: "Shameless!"

Brother Kui was not annoyed, he picked up Yingbao's collar and went back to the Earth Temple, threw her in the grass nest, and said, "I'll take you out to eat delicious food later."

Yingbao rolled into the grass nest and ignored him, and was confused for another hour, several little beggars got up one after another.

There wasn't much food left from last night, so several people divided it up before going out separately.

Brother Kui picked up Yingbao again, "Let's go, let's have a big meal."

"Don't pick me up! I'll go." Ying Bao pushed his hand away dissatisfied, and hurried forward angrily.

The snow particles hit her face a little painful, but Yingbao didn't care about it, and ran fast on her own.

"Wrong way, this way!" Brother Kui caught up with her in a few steps and grabbed her arm, "This way."

He pointed in a direction, "Let's go to Sanqing Temple."

"The Xiayuan Festival is coming soon, and there is a fasting ceremony at the Sanqing Temple. As long as we catch it well, we can eat glutinous rice dumplings."
