20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 386 Fengtian·Loyalty comes first
Fengtian Nan Railway Affiliated Area, Naniwa Expressway.

The setting sun in the distance gradually went down the mountain, and the provincial capital suddenly became dark.

The various Chinese and foreign shops along the street also lit up lights and candles one after another, and the stars were as bright as the stars.

Diagonally across from the Red Mansion, in the dark and narrow alley, there was a sudden rustling sound. It was not a rat digging at the corner, but rather a rat digging at the corner. A closer look revealed four little beggars squatting furtively under the wall, whispering.

These little beggars, the oldest is about ten years old and the youngest is eight or nine years old. They are in ragged clothes and unkempt. Apart from their two eyes, they have a flash of bright color. They look like they are in the dark. At first glance, they thought they were four slop buckets. It’s really hard to tell them apart. Not much of a human being.

"Gululu——"

Someone's stomach is growling.

"Brother, I'm hungry."

A little girl under ten years old squatted on the ground, hugging her knees with her hands, digging at the stones on the ground with her fingers, turning her face slightly to the side, and said to the older boy next to her.

"Tsk! Fatty, why are you the only one who has so much to do!" The little boy frowned and said impatiently, "Didn't I just eat two boxes of leeks the day before yesterday!"

Fat Ya is not fat at all, but is extremely thin.

When she heard the "team leader" sternly reprimanding her, she felt a little aggrieved and a little unconvinced, and immediately retorted: "I ate what I ate the day before yesterday. How can I call it just eaten?"

Even though Fatty is young, she talks back without fear.

It's not because she is naturally bold, nor is it because she is arrogant because of her favor, but because under Xifeng's management, anyone who catches a small fan and bullies a small one will be severely punished for whatever reason. .

Xifeng, Li Zhengxi - the little ones call him "Third Brother", but many people don't know where he got the name "Third Brother".

In Fat Ya's eyes, the third brother has always been very generous, even if he is a bit strange, but the most important thing is his generosity.

……

The third brother often invites everyone to dinner, including steamed buns, dumplings, and stuffed pancakes. When he has a lot of money, he will buy a few roast chickens and bring them to the embankment along the river, where he and everyone sit on the ground to eat.

Although there is no delicacy to speak of, it can't stop people from talking too much, let alone facing a bunch of hungry little beggars.

After a meal, there is really a lot of expense.

Sometimes, while eating, the third brother got interested, so he stood up, pinched his waist with one hand, raised his hand in the air, and said: "We are all children without a father and a mother. Grandma doesn't care, uncles don't love, and relatives don't care." Damn it, we are relatives, brothers and sisters. Don't let me do those things in the future. Bastards bully their own people. If I catch anyone, I'll have a gun! , I will fucking kill him, do you believe it?”

With roast chicken in their mouths and steamed buns in their hands, everyone had no time to cheer, and certainly no time to applaud, so they hummed in agreement like piglets.

So the third brother was very happy and said with a smile: "Hey! That's right!"

But sometimes, it is inevitable that there will be some bold fools who will stand up and sing the opposite.

"You are well fed and clothed warmly. Can we do the same as you? Your clothes, if pawned for money, would be enough for me to eat for ten and a half months! You are the boss, the master, what do you want us to do? Just say it straight, as long as you have something to eat, don’t talk about useless things!”

When everyone heard this, they were startled and looked at the third brother timidly, thinking that he was going to hit someone.

But the third brother not only didn't get angry, but instead laughed twice and said, "You kid, you are curious about my clothes? You should have told me earlier! I'll take them off for you!"

As he spoke, in full view of everyone, he took off his long gown, mandarin jacket, and boots, and handed them to the little beggar.

The little beggar was afraid and didn't dare to pick it up.

"Take it! I still have it at home!" The third brother forced it to him, and then said to everyone, "I won't be blind. If I could make the decision, I could go to the streets to beg for food like you. , It’s not like I haven’t done it before. However, my life is not my own, it has been promised to others.”

"Who is it?" everyone asked curiously.

The third brother then slapped his chest hard and said, "Jiang family!"

"Jiang family?" The little beggar who just got up asked more curiously, not knowing his past, "Is it that boss Jiang?"

"That's my brother and my sister-in-law!"

The third brother said proudly and proudly, "Don't ask about anything else, it's too pretentious! Eat slowly, I'll leave first!"

After all, he really only wore a pair of underpants, not even shoes, and left naked.

From then on, the little fans were willing to play for the third brother - even though they actually had no other role to play except marking people - at the same time, the younger ones also remembered, The third brother is from the Jiang family. …

"Gululu——"

Someone's stomach is growling again!
Fat Ya quickly raised her hands and said innocently: "It's not me! It's really not me this time!"

The little boy swallowed, scratched his head and said, "I know it's not you."

"It turns out it's you!" The other two little ones laughed immediately.

The little boy was also a little embarrassed and said awkwardly: "Just wait a little longer! Just wait a little longer and someone will come to change shifts with us!"

Fatty nodded, but after the shift, she went back to make some rotten vegetable leaves, so she licked her lips and asked softly: "When will Third Brother come visit us again so that we can satisfy our cravings!"

"Shh!"

The little boy suddenly became alert. He pressed his back against the wall, stretched out his head and glanced across the street. Then he quickly turned around and whispered: "There's someone coming out of that house! Fatty, come with me and keep an eye on him." !”

After saying that, he whispered to the other two people, "You two watch the others here, Xiaodi'er and the others will be here soon!"

Hearing this, the other three people immediately stuck their heads out and looked outside.

But he saw the door of the red mansion open, and a man with a shiny back, holding a cigarette in his mouth, walked toward the street with a relaxed expression as if nothing had happened.

"Fat Ya, move quickly, don't lose me!"

"I know! I know!"

Everyone chatted in the narrow alley for a while, and then the little boy and Fat Ya ran out.

In fact, there was no need for them to speak so quietly.

On the huge street, not to mention their voices, even themselves seemed insignificant and dispensable.

However, keeping an eye on the people in the Red Mansion, in their eyes, it was the third brother's responsibility. Since it was the third brother's responsibility, it was a big deal.

At this moment, the fat girl no longer shouted that she was hungry, and the little boy no longer gibbered. The two of them just walked slowly in the direction of the big back, for fear that something might happen unexpectedly, and they would miss the third brother's arrival. Big things, even if they don't know what the so-called big things are.

Walking through the streets and alleys, twisting and turning, Da Beitou never left the Southern Railway Annex.

Finally, he stopped in another dark alley.

When I looked up, under the red and blue neon sign, it said Da Jinhua Barber Shop, with two lines of small words: New hairstyle, Western hair wax.

Da Beitou stood still, and the smoke screen he exhaled was particularly eerie against the red and blue neon lights. It also made his face look hot and cold at times.

After a while, he raised his hand and flicked the cigarette from his fingers, wiped his temples on both sides, and then strode into the barber shop.

The little boy and the fat girl followed closely and squatted down near the entrance of the alley - squatting and pressing their knees against their stomachs would make them less likely to be hungry!
"Jingle Bell!"

The doorbell rang, and a cordial greeting came from the barber shop: "Welcome, brother, what kind of haircut do you want? How about a perm? Your hair is nice and thick. If you perm it, you will have to be stylish!" "

Hearing the noise, the little boy breathed a sigh of relief - it seemed that this person just went to get a haircut, and nothing special happened.

So, he turned back and said: "Fat Ya, if you are hungry, go back first! I'm watching here!"

Fat Ya still hugged her knees with her hands, laughed twice, shook her head and said, "How boring you are! I'll keep an eye on it with you!"

"Aren't you hungry anymore?"

"Didn't I just eat two boxes of leeks the day before yesterday?"

The two of them smiled tacitly, quarreling and quarreling, but under the influence of Li Zhengxi, they still regarded each other as relying on each other.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entrance to the alley suddenly darkened, and an inexplicable huge figure with an unclear face instantly enveloped the two little beggars.

I saw the dark figure leaning down, half-smiling but not smiling, and asked sullenly: "Children, who are you two staring at?"
