Chapter 319 The King of Children

After hearing the question, everyone looked at each other. After recalling for a moment, two little beggars finally stood out from under the wall.

"Third brother, we were there that night, and their gang came with their guys. Fortunately, we were able to escape-"

"Snapped!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhengxi suddenly stepped forward, raised his arm and slapped them, turned around, kicked them hard again, and slapped the two little ones to the ground in the blink of an eye.

The two little beggars were both young and had not yet grown up, so they couldn't bear the beating. They immediately curled up on the ground, grinning in pain and moaning.

"When someone came to kill you, you two just left your brother and ran away?" Li Zhengxi scolded sternly, "If you continue like this, you deserve to be bullied!"

When everyone saw Xifeng getting angry, they immediately became depressed and did not dare to say anything.

Of the two people lying on the ground, one of them was beaten to tears. He covered his face and said aggrievedly: "Third brother, there are so many of them!"

"What's the matter with too many people?" Li Zhengxi glared, "If there are too many people, we can't just leave our buddies alone!"

He himself was a gangster from the streets, so he knew very well that if the gang members wanted to avoid being bullied, they had to look out for each other. If they gave in once, they would be watched closely by other gangs.

Previously, he had led this group of little fans and twisted everyone into a rope, so self-protection was no problem.

But as he got older, he could no longer hang out with them often, and he couldn't take care of them. As for the original group of young fans, anyone over the age of sixteen had already been recruited by Hu Xiaoyan, or Look after homes and homes, or act as thugs.

Nowadays, the remaining ones are young and leaderless, so naturally they are inevitably bullied.

The little lame man was worried that everyone would think he was making a denunciation, so he hurriedly stepped forward to plead for mercy and said: "Third brother, if they didn't come, I would actually have run away, but I just didn't run away."

"What's going on?" Li Zhengxi frowned, "Stone, tell me!"

Xiao Shitou stood up in response and told the whole story. Others followed suit and talked about it, interjecting from time to time to add a few details.

Let’s start with Xiaoheyan Market.

In the southeast corner of Fengtian, there is a small river named Wanquan River. On the south bank of the river, there is a vegetable field reserved in the city; on the north bank, there is a market, where there are both vegetable farmers carrying burdens and setting up stalls, and entertainers performing arts on the ground. It is very lively on weekdays.

Every evening, when the market is about to end, there are rotten vegetable leaves everywhere on the ground along the street. Passers-by do not want to buy them, and vegetable farmers do not want them. Therefore, many beggars take advantage of this time to come over to pick leftovers, wash them in the river, or Eat it raw, or find a place to set up a pot and stew some soup for drinking.

If you can't pick it up, just wait until it's dark and go into the vegetable field to steal it.

Of course, if he was caught, he would be beaten severely.

Occasionally, when I meet a kind-hearted vegetable vendor, I will give the little beggar something to satisfy his hunger.

As a result, this place became a "must battleground for military strategists" for the half-grown little beggar.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

In the arena, there is no distinction between men, women, old and young. The lower you are at the bottom, the more you fight and kill, the weak and the strong.

A bunch of crisp and tender cabbage on the ground, whoever grabs it has the final say, no one can talk about worldliness.

Although the Jiang family has attracted many young people, Fengtian is a provincial capital after all, and people from outside the city come here from time to time.

Xiao Shitou and the others used to go to the riverside to get food, but recently they were occupied by a few sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys. Because they were older, they were not allowed to come back to beg for food. Otherwise, see and fight once.

After hearing this, Li Zhengxi nodded and asked, "Who is their leader?"

Xiao Shitou said: "I don't know what it's called, but there's a leprosy on the forehead. He usually stays at the bridge pier."

"I see."

Li Zhengxi pointed back at the little lame man behind him and said, "I will take him to the hospital now. You guys will spread out and walk around the city. Call all our people over. Brother Dao and Sister-in-law are going to give him some help." You guys are on errands.”

Xiao Shitou responded and asked: "Then let's wait at the door of Brother Dao's house?"

Li Zhengxi shook his head, but said, "Let's meet by the river in Nancheng before dark!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood what Xifeng meant, and immediately dispersed from the alley.

……

... It was dusk and dusk, and the sky was getting dark.

The market along the north bank of the river has gradually ended, and the vegetable farmers are busy closing their stalls and picking up their burdens. Suddenly, they realize that there are surprisingly many little beggars on the streets today.

Looking around, I saw that the streets and alleys seemed to be full of children in their teens.

At a rough glance, there were at least forty people.

They came in twos and threes from all directions, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, gathering more and more. They did not fight or ask for food, but just walked towards the bridge pier along the river, which aroused everyone's curiosity.

Although these children are not very old, they are all in rags and skinny, but now they are small and large, and they are like a dark cloud, with quite a bit of momentum.

Xiao Shitou and others walked at the front, constantly urging their companions behind them.

"Come on, come on, brother three is here to help us take revenge today!"

Everyone yelled and took out large and small stones from their pockets. Looking at the situation, it seemed that tonight would be a bloody battle. If not a few lives were lost, this battle would be unworthy.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I approached the bridge pier, I looked up and saw Li Zhengxi sitting on the bank of the river with several beggars aged sixteen or seventeen, eating white-flour steamed buns and chatting and laughing.

"Holy shit, that's not good!" someone suddenly said from the crowd, "Third brother has rebelled, get out now!"

"Come back!" Li Zhengxi shouted, "Who the hell is farting there? Come here, let's get to know each other!"

The little beggars were a little hesitant, and walked slowly closer. After a closer look, they discovered that Xifeng and the group of little beggars had bright faces, as if they had just finished a tough battle.

Obviously, Li Zhengxi still won despite being outnumbered, and directly recruited this group of new beggars.

He pointed to the two small baskets of steamed buns in front of him and said, "What are you still doing? Eat!"

The steamed buns were still made of white flour - the little beggars swallowed their saliva, and immediately rushed forward in a swarm, their eyes widened, and stuffed them down their throats.

Li Zhengxi turned around and said to the few beggars around him: "Scabby man, remember, these are our own people, don't bully them again in the future."

"Don't worry, there won't be another time!"

It's unclear whether they were beaten down or were greedy for the white-faced steamed buns in front of them. The gangsters responded in succession: "Brother, don't worry, I will hang out with you from now on. Don't we get to know each other if we don't fight!" Don’t ask for much, if we can have a meal of these steamed buns every ten and a half days from now on, we will be satisfied!”

Xiao Shitou and others also understood the current situation, so they all put down their guard and started joking with each other.

Li Zhengxi ignored it and just watched quietly as the little fan swept away the steamed buns in the basket.

"Okay, are you done eating?" He cleared his throat, stood up and said, "Let me ask you guys something, who are there under ten years old? Not the disabled ones! Those under ten years old, okay, Come and stand here!"

When the little fan heard the order, he immediately separated a small number of people.

Li Zhengxi then shouted: "Also, among the remaining people, are there any who can write? Those who can only write one, two, and three are not counted. Is there anyone who can at least write his own name? Only those who can write ten characters will be fine. , is there any? Just two? That’s okay, you two follow and stand!”

Two older beggars walked out of the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhengxi called out many conditions to further select the little beggars.

Everyone was a little confused and asked curiously: "Third brother, what are you going to do?"

"Nothing to do!" Li Zhengxi looked at the selected people, "You guys, come to me in the north of the city tomorrow afternoon, and I will take you to see Brother Dao and Sister-in-law!"

After saying this, the selected children immediately cheered, while the rest looked a little disappointed.

"It doesn't matter if you didn't choose. You have other jobs. Each of you has his or her own division of labor. Don't be pretentious and just have fun!" Li Zhengxi reassured.

The newly recruited Lezitou people behind them were a little confused, "Brother, who is Brother Dao?"

The little beggars replied in unison: "Brother Dao, you don't even know, that's our boss!"

"Boss?"

The gangsters had just arrived in Fengtian and had never heard of "Brother Dao". They immediately pointed at Li Zhengxi and said, "That's you, he is my boss!"
