chivalrous cat and righteous mouse

While talking in a low voice, he looked around from time to time, as if he was afraid of being heard by others.Out of curiosity, he felt that these people must be discussing some shady things, so he sneaked in while the buddy was not paying attention, and slowly moved in along the wall, stepping softly. He tried not to make a sound, but fortunately, the tavern was noisy and noisy, and no one noticed him. He quietly hid in the dark, eavesdropping on the group of people talking.

The beggar listened intently, he thought that group of people were just saying "who ate the overlord's meal today", "who sneaked into the brothel to steal honey while his wife had no idea" What he didn't expect was that what those people said was actually more filthy than those filthy things.

The group of five people had been doing some small business together, but because of the way of the bad guys, they went to the casino for fun, and lost all their capital.These five people became addicted to gambling, but suffered from lack of money. A few days ago, I heard that Luo Yuanwai, the head of the Luo family, got two pieces of high-quality jade raw materials. I heard that the two pieces of raw materials were priceless. It has been able to make the entire Luo family have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.These five people have been cheated of money now, and their usual livelihoods are in trouble. Since they have been infected with the habit of gambling, they have been idle all day long, and they also engage in petty theft on weekdays, and then sell the stolen items. Subsidize the household.Now they suddenly heard that someone else got the treasure, which really made them red-eyed, they thought together, as long as they can steal this treasure this time, the brothers will make a fortune.So they met here to discuss the matter of stealing the piece of raw material at Luo's house after nightfall the next day.

The beggars listened and secretly calculated, the theft was a big deal, and what they wanted to steal was nothing but the new treasure of Luo's family members.The young master of the Luo family has always taken good care of them. Now that something happened to them, he happened to hear about it. If he doesn't help, it will be revenge!

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a strong push on his waist. Unprepared, he swayed and fell to the side.Losing the cover of darkness, his whole body was exposed to everyone's sight. While trying to get up from the ground, the beggar tilted his head and glanced at the place where he just hid, and found that the person who attacked him was actually thrown at the door. Bread buddy.

The little guy had just paid the bill for a table of customers, and was walking toward the counter with his money in his pocket. He accidentally caught a glimpse of a person squatting in the corner. He took a closer look, wasn't this the beggar at the door just now?At some point, the beggar sneaked in while he wasn't paying attention, and hid without saying a word. The clerk was suspicious, so he walked up to him unconsciously, raised his foot and ran towards his waist hard. Kicked down hard.

It doesn't matter if there is any movement here, all the guests in the house cast their gazes over, and this naturally includes the few people who gathered together to discuss the matter of robbery.A few of them gave each other a wink, and said to themselves, our table is the closest to the beggar's place, if the beggar listened to what we just said, it would be a big bad thing!So they made eye contact with each other, intending to seal the beggar's mouth, so as not to spoil the good deeds of several people.

A few people here are still exchanging glances, but the guy over there has already flew in for the second time, kicking and cursing, "You stinky beggar, don't give me shame, I pity you for stuttering, you actually You don't know how to be content, and you sneaked in and dirty Grandpa's place, so get out!"

The beggar held his head and ate the waiter's feet. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of someone quietly standing up at the table. He knew he shouldn't have heard it. I'm afraid these people were going to deal with him. He picked up the broken porcelain bowl in his hand, pointed to the bowl with one finger, and then pointed to his ear, babbling and unable to utter a word.

The buddy was happy to see him dancing and dancing, "Yo! You're still a dumb! The dumb is still begging for food! Well, I'm in a good mood today. Seeing your pitiful appearance, here, I'll reward you with a bowl of porridge!" "While speaking, he grabbed the half bowl of leftover porridge in his hand and put it on his head.

The porridge flowed down his head, dripping everywhere on his face and body. The beggar cheerfully took the bowl off his head, wiped his face, and then stuck out his tongue to pour the porridge into the bowl. Lick off the remaining porridge.Everyone looked a little disgusted, turned their heads and went to drink their own wine.The buddy also felt a little bored, frowned and curled his lips, cursed a few words of "crazy" and "get lost", then turned and left.

The beggar watched the back of the guy leaving, and when he walked away, he turned his head again, grinning, showing his yellow teeth, laughing foolishly at the people at the table, holding the broken bowl while laughing, and stretched it out. , as if begging for food from them.

The faces of the people at the table changed when they saw the dirty hand he stretched out into the broken bowl. The bearded man who was closest stood up immediately, kicked the bowl in his hand, and couldn't help cursing. "Grandma, it's so fucking dirty! Brother, I think this beggar is not only dumb, but also a fool! He can't speak, let's let him go!"

The middle-aged man called Big Brother sat upright at the table, staring straight at the beggar's face with a pair of wretched triangular eyes. After a while, he calmly said, "Let him go."

Hearing these words, the beggar breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he didn't dare to be negligent on the face, and he pretended to be stupid until the end, until he was clamped hands and feet and thrown out of the tavern, he took a big breath tone.He calmed down a little, seeing that no one found him around, he hurried back to the residence with strides, and told the other companions everything he had just heard.

These beggars are always together on weekdays, and they have also received the favor of the Luo family, so when they heard that something happened to the Luo family, they suggested that they must convey this information to the Luo family.But that night, before the beggars could spread the news, a masked man in black broke in.The man in black held up the steel knife and swung it around for a while, only to hear a few muffled thuds when he fell to the ground.

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao frowned deeply, and thought to himself that these gangsters who wanted money and killed them were really hateful, even beggars were not spared.He was secretly gnashing his teeth in resentment, when Xiaotian suddenly went on to say.

"The masked man thought he had killed all the people who knew about it, but he didn't know that there was actually another person in that room who also heard their secret."

Zhan Zhao couldn't help asking, "Who is it?"

But I saw Xiaotian smiled mysteriously, "He is a child on the road. He was going to his uncle's house to join his uncle, but unfortunately he was met by robbers on the way. The robbers took away all the little things he had on him. With no money, he could only beg for food all the way. Finally, he found his uncle, but his uncle refused to recognize him because of his desolate appearance. He had no choice but to continue to beg for life. He walked all the way from his uncle's house There are many places, but Yangwu County is the place where he stayed the longest begging, just because he met a boy of his age here."

Zhan Zhao seemed to understand something, raised his eyebrows and asked, "The boy he met was you! Right?"

Xiao Tian nodded, "That's right, I used to feel sorry for him, and gave him some food, and then gradually I could always see him, and we became acquainted with each other after a long time."

Hearing what he said lightly, Zhan Zhao felt slightly suspicious, but he didn't say much, just asked, "What happened later?"

"It's a coincidence that the child thought that all the beggars in the house had been killed. He was terrified and wanted to leave there. By the way, he had to report to Luo's house quickly. But it happened that when he It was finally dawn, and when he wanted to run away, a hand suddenly grabbed his leg. He screamed in fright, and then felt something hard and cold stuffed into his mouth. Daddy , guess what that is?"

Zhan Zhao was listening seriously at first, but he didn't think about it, the little baby suddenly stopped and smiled and played charades with him, Zhan Zhao shook his head with a smile, and asked him, "What is it?"

"It's a cold steamed bun." Xiaotian wrinkled his nose, "It's the half steamed bun that the guy threw to the beggar."

Zhan Zhao's eyes lit up, "You mean that beggar...!"

Xiaotian smiled, "That's right, that beggar didn't die. I don't know why he didn't die, but he did come back to life. He let him eat half of the steamed bun, and then let him hide quietly, while But he ran to Luo's house in a hurry, and happened to meet Grandma Sun on the way."

"What happened later? Since we received the report, why is there still a fire at home?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"I told Dad exactly what the beggar said, but Dad didn't believe me, saying that I didn't know where I heard crazy words, and ordered someone to lock me into the cellar. The cellar was cold and damp, and The sound insulation is very good, I can't hear what happened above, and I don't know how much time has passed, and I fell asleep unconsciously. When I woke up again, I found that I was already in a different place. Immediately afterwards, I watched When we arrived at the beggar and the boy, they told me that my house was burned, and all 18 people in my family, including master and servant, were burned to death." He lowered his eyes, his eyes darkened, and he fell silent.

Zhan Zhao sank for a long time before speaking again, "Where are the beggar and the boy now?"

Xiaotian lowered his head, and it took him a long time to reply, "Death!"
