20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 16 Lamb
Although Lao Cui didn't understand poetry, he firmly believed that this was not poetry based on his many years of experience in counting Laibao.

There is momentum, but no literary talent.

Jiang Xiaodao clapped his hands repeatedly and shouted: "What a poem! What a poem!"

The man was stunned for a moment, then walked over and asked, "This brother also understands poetry?"

Jiang Xiaodao shook his head: "I don't know anything about poetry. I just heard you say you want to smash that Bodhisattva into rubbish. That's a good poem!"

The man laughed and asked, "What? Do you have a grudge against the Bodhisattva?"

Jiang Xiaodao raised his head and glanced at the man, only to see that he was in his twenties, tall and had extremely long legs.

"I have no grudge against the Bodhisattva, but if he were a true spirit, the world should not be like this!"

"That's good! I think so too!" The man lowered his head and asked, "Brother, what's your name?"

"Jiang Xiaodao."

"Haha! My name is Zhang Zongchang!"

Jiang Xiaodao asked puzzledly: "What exactly is Master Ha?"

"Russian, it means being nice!" Zhang Zongchang patted his belly proudly, "Brother, what are you doing here?"

"Can't you see? I'm begging for food!"

"Why can't you just have a bowl of rice and why do you have to beg for food?" Zhang Zongchang waved his hand, "How about I introduce you to a job? Come with me to build the railway for Maozi! I can talk there and help you. Some errand!"

"Thank you for your kindness!" Jiang Xiaodao raised his fists and then pointed at Lao Cui, "It's a pity that I can't go. My father asked me to learn his skills from him."

Zhang Zongchang looked at Lao Cui and said unceremoniously: "What can he do? He is just a stinky beggar!"

Lao Cui remained silent and just smiled.

Jiang Xiaodao said, "You can't say that. I heard Mr. Shu said that the emperor has never been more successful in this business than begging for food!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zongchang stopped trying to persuade him: "Well, everyone has their own ambitions, so I won't force you. However, I feel that we have the same aspirations. You can think about it after you go back. If you want to build the railway, come to me." !”

After saying that, Zhang Zongchang turned around and walked towards the railway construction site.

Lao Cui squatted on the spot and was stunned for a long time. He reacted for a long time before he smiled and said, "This kid is quite interesting."

Jiang Xiaodao suddenly stood up, patted the dust on his butt, and said, "Old Cui, it's almost time. We have to go back, right?"

His expression was a little stern, or in other words, a little arrogant, as if he had made up his mind.

"You should go home?"

Jiang Xiaodao raised his neck and replied coldly: "Where are you going back to? I haven't finished learning my skills yet. Why don't you go to old Mrs. Feng's place?"

Lao Cui warned: "It's okay to go, but you must not run around again."

Jiang Xiaodao responded, and the two then changed their way, begging along the street, and walked towards Mrs. Feng's hotel.

I didn't have much money to bring today, so I had no choice but to eat the two steamed buns I had earlier.

Jiang Xiaodao ate a bowl of rice and fell asleep.

At midnight, the moon reaches the middle of the night.

Jiang Xiaodao opened his eyes and called softly: "Old Cui?"

There was no reply, and snoring could be heard everywhere on the big bathroom floor.

Jiang Xiaodao tiptoed and got off the kang, put on his shoes, and quietly opened the door.

The snow outside reflects the cold moonlight, and the light in the yard is far brighter than inside.

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Xiaodao tiptoed to the corner of the east wing. When he got closer, he saw that there was only one bolt on the door and no padlock.After thinking about his life experience, Jiang Xiaodao resolutely pulled out the door bolt.

"Squeak!"
When the door was opened, a disgusting stench immediately hit the face. A moonlight shone in the yard, and a rustling sound echoed in the house.

In the darkness, there were several children huddled in the corner, looking at him uneasily, their eyes full of panic and confusion.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."

Jiang Xiaodao said softly, but no one among the children dared to answer.

There is no joy, no excitement, and no longing...

The only emotion they seem to have left is "uneasiness".

Jiang Xiaodao couldn't care so much, and immediately stepped into the house, came to an older girl, and untied the hemp rope tied around her neck.

After solving one, I went to solve the second, third...

However, all the rescued people were sitting there dumbfounded, looking like they had nothing to do with themselves.

"What are you still doing?" Jiang Xiaodao said anxiously to the older girl, "Run!"

As soon as he said it, he regretted it.

The reason is very simple. When I looked down, there was nothing below the girl's knees!

Jiang Xiaodao was heartbroken when he saw them, not because he was so righteous, but because these children were similar in age to him, and some of them were orphans like him, which naturally reminded him of himself.

Seeing that after they were so abused and turned into Mrs. Feng's money-making tools, he really couldn't just stand by and watch.

Jiang Xiaodao turned around and looked at the movement behind him, then came to the girl and squatted down.

"Come up! I'll carry you out!"

But the girl hurriedly shook her head in panic, her attitude was very determined and she just wouldn't leave!
At this time, a disfigured little boy in the corner suddenly shouted without warning: "Mom! Mom! Mom!"

Jiang Xiaodao's heart trembled, and he immediately rushed over, grabbed the boy's throat, and cursed in a low voice: "Are you fucking crazy? I'm here to save you!"

The boy immediately stretched out his hand, scratching Jiang Xiaodao as if looking at his enemy.

What he didn't expect was that when the other children saw this, they rushed forward like mad dogs and bit him on the arm.

Sad for its misfortune, anger for its indisputable!

Jiang Xiaodao cursed angrily: "Are you all fucking crazy?"

Now that the matter has come to this point, he no longer hesitates.

Can save one is one!
Jiang Xiaodao shook off the children and came to the older girl who was also the only girl in the room who did not attack him.

"I'll save you, come with me!"

The girl immediately burst into tears.

Jiang Xiaodao hurriedly urged: "There is no time to cry and wipe away tears. Come up quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a flame like Dou flashed at the door, and a voice as cold as ice asked quietly:
"Hey, it's so late, where are you going?"

Jiang Xiaodao's heart skipped a beat, and his back was instantly soaked in cold sweat!
When he looked up, he saw Mrs. Feng and Gouzi standing at the door with pale faces, as if they were cold statues.

The boys who had been biting Jiang Xiaodao just now, as if they had seen a savior, crawled to Old Mrs. Feng's feet like dogs, pointed at Jiang Xiaodao viciously, and complained flatteringly:

"Mom! Bad guy! Mom! Bad guy!"
