23. Chapter 23 Square Beggars(1/2)
At around five o'clock, Ye Qing got up. Fortunately, there was a small river near the industrial area. Ye Qing took water and washed it, and then started morning exercises in the industrial area.
When Ye Qing was in the army, he would run with weights when he was practicing in the morning. Now, there is no equipment from the army in this place. Ye Qing walked around and found an abandoned piece of iron in the factory. He weighed it and weighed about twenty or thirty kilograms, which was similar to the weight he was carrying in the army.
Ye Qing tied the iron block to his body and ran around the factory for five rounds, almost thirty kilometers before putting down the iron block.
After thirty kilometers, Ye Qing's clothes were soaked, but he became more energetic. Ye Qing found a beam, alternated pull-ups with his left and right hands, and had been doing nearly an hour before he stopped. With such high-intensity training, even if he was a little breathing at this moment.
However, after such intense training, Ye Qing did not stop, but practiced a set of punches in an empty place. After practicing punches, he breathed a sigh of relief, took a set of clothes, took a cooler by the river, changed into a new set of clothes, washed the dirty clothes and put them on.
Ye Qing also transferred the factory area almost the same in the morning. The nearby area was full of weeds. It seemed that no one had been here for a long time. This place was suitable for Ye Qing to live here. He found a relatively hidden place and put his luggage in it. Then he went into the city lightly and rushed to the city.
In the early morning, Fukagawa City is busy and lively. A new day begins and a new struggle is about to begin.
Ye Qing walked among the crowd, and his green military uniform seemed out of place with the people around him. However, no one would look at him more. This is Fukugawa City. Everyone is busy with their own affairs, who would care about other people's affairs?
Ye Qing bought eight steamed buns and ate them in cold water to fill his stomach. At this time, the streets were no longer as busy as before. Urban white-collar workers had already sat in the office, and there were fewer people on the streets.
Ye Qing looked at the bus license plate and walked all the way to Wuyan Square in Fenghua District, Shenchuan City. His relative met Ye Jun here, and it is said that Ye Jun begged here at that time.
Ye Qing walked around the square twice, and the beggars met many. However, he did not see anyone who was even a slight similar to his younger brother.
I don’t know where so many disabled people came from in the square. Some had no hands, some had no feet, and some had no hands and feet. I sat on a four-wheeled wooden cart with a jar next to it, begging for pedestrians.
Most of these people are dirty and look very miserable.
Ye Qing looked at these people and couldn't help but think of his younger brother. Did he crawl and beg on the ground with difficulty, just like these people? But how could he become like this?
Looking at these disabled people, Ye Qing felt a dull pain in his heart, but this also strengthened his determination to find his younger brother.
At noon, Ye Qing ordered a fried rice at a small stall next to the square. One fried rice costs seven yuan, and Ye Qing felt a little painful. How long can he last if he spends the money he brought?
When Ye Qing lowered his head to eat, a tender voice suddenly came from the side.
"Uncle, please pity me. I haven't eaten for several days. Let's give it a pass."
Ye Qing turned his head and looked at him. There was a dirty little girl standing next to him. The little girl looked about six or seven years old, with a thin figure. Her face was sallow due to malnutrition. Her hair was tangled together, and there was a little bloodstain on her forehead. There were only a pair of big eyes flashing, but there were endless fear and panic in it, as if she was frightened by this world.
"Let's go! Get out of here, or I'll break your legs! Who the hell will let you come here will hinder my business."
The stall owner waved the spoon to drive away the little girl, his eyes full of disgust and no sympathy at all.
The little girl was afraid and her body shrank a little. However, she was unwilling to leave and looked at Ye Qing hopefully.
Ye Qing stood up to protect the little girl and said, "Boss, she is just a child, why bother like this!"
"Oh, young man, you don't know!" The boss said depressedly: "Look at her like this, she is dirty, and the customers are not in the mood to eat when they see it. She comes here every day, which is too affecting the customers' meals. If you continue like this, how can I do this business?"
"But she is a child after all!" Ye Qing turned to look at the little girl and said, "What do you want to eat?"
The boss said, "Young man, don't bother. If you give them something, they will never eat it. They only need money."
Ye Qing looked at the little girl, and the little girl shook her head and whispered: "Uncle, please give it a pass..."
Ye Qing was surprised. Aren’t she very hungry, but why didn’t she say what she wanted to eat?
"Do you eat this?" Ye Qing handed the fried rice to the little girl. The little girl shook her head, picked up the bowl in her hand, and whispered: "Uncle, let's get some off..."
The bowl contains money, and it is obvious that she only wants money.
Ye Qing had no choice but to take out a dollar from his body and throw it in. The little girl left happily.
"Look, I'll just say it." The boss curled his lips and said, "Young man, you must have been here on the first day. Don't worry about that much. It's right to be sympathetic, but you'll also get the points."
"Why is this happening?" Ye Qingqi said.
"Hey!" The boss sighed, but didn't say anything else.
Ye Qing was very surprised. Looking at the little girl who was leaving, she felt a little sad for some reason. She was only six or seven years old, so why did she become only accepting money?
Ye Qing sighed softly, turned to look at the boss, and suddenly asked, "Boss, how long have you been here?"
“It’s been over two years.”
"Then have you seen this person?" Ye Qing took out his brother's photo and looked at the boss hopefully.
The boss glanced at it and said strangely: "He is working nearby?"
Ye Qing was slightly silent and whispered: "He used to beg here..."
"Ah?" The boss stared at Ye Qing with wide eyes, a little incredible.
Ye Qing said anxiously: "Six months ago, someone had seen him here. You are here every day, so you should have seen him too?"
"This..." The boss looked at Ye Qing and said, "Are you his...his relative?"
"He is my younger brother!" Ye Qing said.
The boss looked at Ye Qing again, sighed, and said, "Young man, are you here to find him?"
"Yes!"
The boss shook his head and said, "I advise you not to look for it!"
"Why?" Ye Qing was surprised.
"So what if you find it? Maybe he is already a useless person now, without arms or legs, taking it back is a burden." The boss paused and whispered: "Besides, even if you find it, you can't take him away!"
"Why?" Ye Qing suddenly stood up and looked at the boss excitedly: "You...have you seen him?"
"I haven't seen it before!" The boss shook his head.
"Then you... what do you mean by saying these words?" Ye Qing said anxiously.
The boss looked up at the beggars in the distance and said, "Young man, you probably haven't been to Shunkawa City for long."
"I arrived yesterday."
"No wonder," said the boss: "Don't you find it strange after you have been walking around here? Why are all beggars here disabled?"
Ye Qing said anxiously: "Why?"
The boss sighed and whispered: "Young man, it's not convenient for me to say it clearly. You can see it carefully by yourself. However, I advise you not to be too serious. Otherwise, you will have big trouble yourself!"
"Why?" Ye Qing asked again. The boss obviously had something in his words.
"I said it, it's not convenient for me to say extra words." The boss seemed to be afraid and said, "Don't ask, either, saying too much will cause trouble."
Ye Qing resolutely said: "I'm not afraid of trouble!"
"But I'm afraid!" The boss waved his hand and said, "Don't bring me trouble!"
Ye Qing looked at the boss's panicked face and was even more surprised. What happened to these beggars? Why did he be so worried?
Ye Qing didn't ask, but he already knew that these beggars must have problems.
After dinner, Ye Qing walked around the square twice and suddenly discovered a situation. These beggars seemed to be independent of each other, but in fact, there were still people staring at them. There were at least three people in the square, staring at all the beggars in the square.
Ye Qing was shocked. Could this be the reason why the boss was afraid? These beggars were actually organized?
Ye Qing couldn't help but think of his younger brother. Could it be that his younger brother was forced to beg here?
Thinking of this, Ye Qing suddenly became angry and his eyes suddenly filled with murderous aura.
Almost all the commanders knew that if Ye Qingsheng had been in the army for such a long time, his military talent could be perfectly displayed in the war years, but he would never be an excellent leader. Because Ye Qing was too murderous!
Ye Qing has completed the number of tasks in the border line for the highest in the military region over the years. However, the bandits he caught were the lowest in the entire military region. Because many of the dead bandits were beaten to death by him!
If someone touches his bottom line, what kind of means will he use to retaliate?
And his younger brother Ye Jun is undoubtedly Ye Qing’s most important bottom line! At around five o’clock, Ye Qing got up. Fortunately, there was a small river near this industrial area. Ye Qing took water and washed it, and then started morning exercises in this industrial area.
When Ye Qing was in the army, he would run with weights when he was practicing in the morning. Now, there is no equipment from the army in this place.

However, after such intense training, Ye Qing did not stop, but practiced a set of punches in an empty place. After practicing punches, he breathed a sigh of relief, took a set of clothes, took a cooler by the river, changed into a new set of clothes, washed the dirty clothes and put them on.

This place was suitable for Ye Qing to live here. He found a relatively hidden place and put his luggage in it. Then he went into the city lightly and rushed to the city.

"Uncle, please pity me. I haven't eaten for several days. Let's give it a pass."
