Delicate prince, foolish concubine

Chapter 48 Beggar
A small town far away from the capital—Xiangshan Town, where the people live and work in peace and contentment. Although the living conditions are not as prosperous as those in the capital, it is very close to a famous Foshan, so pilgrims who worship Buddha and offer incense often pass by here. Of course, the residents here also know that in addition to kind pilgrims, this is also a place where many people in the dark ranks like to run.

In this kind of ancient society, people were more or less feudal and superstitious. Those with unclean hands and bloody horoscopes also liked to go to this kind of place close to the Buddhist holy land, without offending the gods, and they could Eliminate your own evil spirits.

There are also many beggars here, because many residents in the town are illuminated by Buddha's light, so they are kind to people, and it is much easier for beggars to beg for food.

There was an abandoned house in Xiangshan Town that was occupied by an army of beggars. There were few people here during the day, but at night it was suddenly crowded with beggars who returned late.And now in such broad daylight, apart from a few old rascals who were lazy and sleeping, there were actually two young beggars who did not go out to beg.

A little man with a dirty face is picking up the messy hay on the ground. These are the "mattresses" used by the beggars to sleep together at night, and the "newcomers" of them have been tasked for the past two days. Clean up this messy house, knowing that there are other "newcomers" coming, if you don't clean it up, you are not allowed to go out to beg for food.

Zhang Fengxi hadn't eaten for two days. When she was packing up the hay, she couldn't help but want to stuff it into her mouth, but it's a pity not to mention that the hay was stuck in her throat and she couldn't eat it. It is not something ordinary people can bear.

Zhang Fengxi's hands holding the hay were already trembling. She used to have a graceful and slender body, but the hard days of these days had already thinned her down to a stick.If she didn't take the initiative to tell her about her dirty body and torn clothes, others would just treat her as an immature kid.

In the beginning, she often thought of the well-cooked dim sum she ate before, and then recalled the fatty meat that made her mouth water. After that, she only hoped for white rice, and now she hopes to pack this place quickly and go out Ask for some leftovers, and if you are lucky, you can even get leftovers.

"Little devil!" The beggar who was left to clean up the house with her threw a handful of hay in his hand and shouted to her, "Here, clean up well, and the master will go get some food. If you do well, help me." Save some soup and come back."

After finishing speaking, his dry hands picked up the rice bowl with missing corners on the ground, leaving only a handsome back and left. Before Zhang Fengxi's brain could react, she realized that she was the only person working in this place. up.

She was a little angry, but she couldn't yell loudly because she was hungry. She was sweating and was angrily told to "shut up" by the old rascal beside her.Zhang Fengxi's hand trembled even more, she slapped her out-of-control right hand a few times with the other hand, and bent down resignedly to tidy it up.

She made up her mind and only packed up the hay that she should have packed up, and then went out to beg for food with a broken bowl she stole from another place.

Xiangshan Town is not very big, but there are beggars in ragged clothes wandering around every street corner. The rich people hold their noses to avoid these dirty things, and the residents of the town also hate these "worms" because of long-term harassment, but those The "moths" pretended not to know other people's hatred, looked up with a crying or smiling face, and said "it's okay".

Although Zhang Fengxi was not the first time to do something big like a beggar, she was a bit stupid after all. She held a broken bowl in front of others, and her voice was not loud.

"Go to the side." Of course, what she got in return was the disgusting tone of others.

Why do you say Zhang Fengxi is "stupid"?Because after being rejected, not only did she leave without knowing what was good or bad, but she also pestered him with a stern face. In the end, she either gave someone a little money to drive them away because they were bored, or she really drove them away with a stick.

However, Zhang Fengxi was a little bit lucky today, because not long after she went to the street to pay, a couple who looked very kind-hearted gave her a few pennies. A few pennies are enough for Zhang Fengxi to buy food to satisfy her hunger.

She didn't take advantage of the victory like other beggars, but she clenched the few pennies in her hand and hurried to the steamed bun stall to buy four steamed buns, then hid in a corner, and quickly ate up one steamed bun.After eating the second steamed bun, she began to relish the aroma of the steamed bun. Zhang Fengxi was really reluctant to eat the remaining two, so she wrapped the steamed bun tightly and quickly stuffed it back into her clothes.

Zhang Fengxi went to beg for money after she was full, perhaps because the satisfaction on her face was too obvious, and no one gave her any more money after that.

But Zhang Fengxi was not uncomfortable, the four steamed buns today had already given her extra satisfaction, and she was not ready to go back until evening with satisfaction.But she suddenly saw a scene.

A short little boy was sneaking around in the crowd, while a fat woman walking towards him was wearing a brightly colored floral skirt, shaking a feather fan, with a very lonely expression.

Then, the little man slammed into the fat woman. At this moment, Zhang Fengxi clearly saw the short boy quickly take a money bag from the fat woman's waist, and then quickly ran away with his head down. , the fat woman pointed in the direction of the boy and yelled wildly, no doubt about "smelly beggars dirtying my aunt's expensive skirt", but she didn't realize that her purse was stolen, and used Fanzi patted her skirt, turned her head and left.

Zhang Fengxi blinked, thinking that this was the "stealing" thing that my lord husband said, and just realized that he wanted to report, but the fat woman had already run away.

But she didn't take it too seriously, and hurried back to the beggar's mansion while she could still see the road, and just after taking a breather to go in, she was suddenly knocked down by a stick!
She touched her head that hurt from the beating, and when she looked up, there was a fierce face kicking her with anger.

"court death!"
