Plain girl fairy

Chapter 2 Leave
Before the calamity year, Mo Xue’s parents could earn some money by weaving willow baskets. After choosing the name, they drew the appearance of the character on paper, and then spent a penny or two to make people who could read recognize it as the name. What word, and then memorize it in my heart.

So the only three characters that Mo Xue knew to write were Mo, Xue, and Liu. In this way, she was envied by the children in the village because she was the only one who knew three characters. Moyan only knows two characters!

After walking for more than half an hour, the six children finally arrived in the town, but they were dumbfounded when they reached the town. The usual bustling streets were completely different, and there were disaster victims and beggars everywhere.

Walking to the street, a group of beggars lying on the street saw them coming, opened their eyes, and closed them again. Da Ya glanced at one of the young beggars, and was scolded by the beggar, "You guys Little beggar, what do you look at, be careful that your uncle digs out your eyeballs."

That ferocious look made Da Ya's face turn pale with fright. In that age, there were no reasonable people.Although the six of them are sure to defeat this young beggar, there are many beggars beside this beggar. After hearing what the young man said, they all opened their eyes and looked at them with strange eyes, as if they wanted to see a hole in them. come out.

"Hey." A beggar opened his eyes and said with a sinister smile: "It's been a long time since I ate meat, why don't I kill these dolls at night and cook the meat?!"

Hearing this, Da Ya and Cuihua cried in fright. Mo Xue looked at their eyes when they were talking, and was afraid in her heart. She followed Mo Yan closely, guarding against them.

"Let's go to the town quickly, and we won't be afraid of them when we get to the crowded places in the town!" Daniel said loudly, trying to make the group of beggars feel apprehensive.

Hearing this, the young beggar became anxious. He got up from the ground and stopped in front of them, "Don't go to town!"

"Why don't you let us go to the town!" Daniel, who seemed the strongest in the team, stood up and reasoned with them.

"Brothers, get up!" The young beggar shouted: "The people in the town don't give alms much. When they come, there will be no room for us. When the time comes, everyone will not give alms." They all have to starve to death like Old Wang did a few days ago!"

As they talked, the beggars suddenly became agitated and stopped in front of them to prevent them from passing.

"We are not beggars." Mo Xue said with some aggrievedness, after all, she is only an eight-year-old girl.

"Oh, you are not beggars?" The young beggar suddenly laughed, "Look at the broken bowls in your hands, and you still say you are not a beggar? The uncle also said that he is not a beggar, but who would believe it?!"

"We are really not beggars, we just come to the town to find work." Cuihua and Tiedan also said one after another.

All the beggars laughed suddenly, with a hint of desolation in their laughter, and one of the middle-aged beggars with a scruffy beard said, "At the beginning we also said that we were only here to find work, but now, look, we can't find any." What can you do if you don't work and become beggars?"

"Yeah, baby, go back, there is no work here, and there are few people who give alms." An old beggar advised them to go back, "It's not safe at night, children like you don't get sold, Or really got eaten by some very hungry people."

"No way?" Da Ya asked timidly.

The old beggar was a little unhappy, "Will I still lie to you?"

At this time, Mo Yan stood up and said, "We have been kicked out of the house, and there is really no food in the village, and we can't even find a grass root."

In fact, their parents said they wanted them to come out to practice. In fact, it is no different from driving them out. Their family is a group of people with younger brothers and sisters. If their parents let them come out, it is equivalent to abandoning them and trying their best to keep their younger brothers. younger sister.

In this case, they must not go back until the disaster year has passed. Even if they go back, they will not get any food, and they will be scolded by their parents, and they will look at them differently from the villagers. After all, the village has discussed it. There are people coming out of every door.So before the calamity year passed, even if they died, they could only die outside.

Seeing that they insisted on entering the town, the old beggar stopped insisting, and just said: "In that case, then I won't stop you. It's just that something happened. Don't blame us for not reminding you."

Hearing what the old beggar said, the six of them nodded repeatedly and said they didn't blame them. When they were about to enter the town, the young beggar blocked their way and said to the old beggar, "Master, don't let them in!"

The old beggar waved his hand, motioning the young beggars to let them pass, "Life, life and death are determined, wealth and honor are in the sky, we are not robbers, we can't cut off people's lives."

Hearing this, the young beggar glared at Mo Xue and the others, "Get out, get out, get out, tell you, I will starve to death by then, and my innocent soul will find you bastards to pay for their lives!"

Mo Xue and the others were taken aback by this remark. At this time, the old beggar said, "Goat boy, what are you doing to scare them, save some energy." He lay down and closed his eyes.Seeing this situation, the young beggars ignored them, and all the beggars closed their eyes when they saw that there was no excitement to watch.

The sun overhead moved a little westward, but it was still scorching hot, and the town regained the eerie atmosphere it had when they first arrived.

They continued to walk forward, and finally met an old lady, after all, she just came out of the village, and she couldn't bear to say, "Please, please send some of these words."

In fact, most of the children in the village are very simple. The adults taught them not to take other people’s things casually, including small gifts, such as vegetables, from fellow villagers.So now none of them could speak, so the first benevolent benefactor just missed it.

I ran into a man again, and felt that this man was a bit vicious, so I didn't beg for him. I just walked around like this, and finally met a third person. As the oldest child among them, Mo Yan summoned up the courage to go forward. As a result, just as he was about to speak, he saw a group of people holding wooden sticks and chasing a dozen beggars towards this side. The momentum scared them all.

When they were about to come here, Mo Yan suddenly told everyone to run, and when they reached the entrance of the town, the group of beggars who stopped them from entering also changed their previous lazy attitude. He immediately stood up and moved from the entrance of the town to the outside of the town.

"Forget you to run fast." The leading man stood at the entrance of the town, carrying a wooden stick and shouted loudly: "I tell you, these stinky beggars are not allowed to come to our town again, or I will beat you one by one! Go begging!" In the county, we didn’t have much food in our town, and you beggars made a mess of it!”

When Mo Xue and the others standing in the distance heard this, they knew that they would definitely not be able to go to the town.

"Brother Yan, what should we do now?" Daniel asked.Mo Xue stood beside them with a worried expression on her face.

"How about, let's go to the county." Tie Dan suggested, "Just now I heard that big man said that he would go to the county if he wanted to beg, and we can go with them now, I just heard that they also want to go to the county. "Tie Dan pointed to a group of people in front of them.

"Okay, then I'll go to the county." Mo Yan nodded in agreement with her.

A group of children were very excited when they heard that they were going to the county, because they had never been to the county, and they hadn't thought about what would be waiting for them after they went to the county.

Mo Xue was digging grass roots beside the post road on the outskirts of the county, and now she is in a worse situation than before.When I was at home, there was a broken hoe, but in this unfamiliar place, she could only hold a rough and broken tile in both hands.

Ah, I finally dug up one, and Mo Xue smiled happily. Having stayed in the countryside for a long time, she is quite skilled at digging grass roots. This is also the secret that she has not starved to death yet.

"Come on, Cuihua, eat." Moxue pushed aside the grass, put the root of the grass she had dug so hard into the mouth of the girl lying in the grass, and saw the girl lying on a flat bush with a A small tree blocked the sun for her.Cuihua felt the moisture around her mouth, her eyes were red, she finally opened her mouth, and began to bite with a "click, click".

In the past month, although Mo Xue was younger than her, she had always been taking care of her. She was very sorry and grateful to Mo Xue.

Although the grass roots are not full, eating too much will make their stomachs feel very uncomfortable, but at least they are full of water, which can keep them from starving to death. For the past half month, they have been staying in this place, relying on eating grass roots for a living.

Didn't they all go to the county seat?Why here, and anyone else?It's really a long story.

Before, a group of six of them went to the county seat. The county seat was still prosperous, but there was no suitable job for them.So they became beggars. Although they were not very honorable, occasionally some rich people would give them some steamed buns. Those days were considered a rare good time for them.

But the good times didn't last long. After a while, they were discovered by a group of local beggars. The beggars there were very xenophobic and thought that their arrival had robbed them of their business, so the group of beggars beat them up and drove them out. , He also threatened to hit him once we meet next time.

If it's just like this, Mo Xue and the others can still bear it, just hide for a while.But there is still a group of hooligans here. Seeing that they are young, they have the idea of ​​asking them to be thieves.Said that if they didn't do what they did, their legs would be broken.

Although Mo Xue was young, she also knew that when a thief was caught, his hands and feet would be broken, and even if he was beaten to death, no one would care, so he escaped overnight.But when they came out, they found that Tie Dan was missing, so they turned back to look for it, but they didn't expect that Tie Dan had voluntarily surrendered to those hooligans.
