The old beggar Uncle Zheng patted his belly and said with a smile: "Little brother, as the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch. There is no need to hide it. Just tell us what you want us to do. We, the five beggars in Baotou, can do it."
, I will definitely help you do it."
"Brother, you misunderstood, you really didn't!"
"The reason I'm helping you today is because a beggar saved my life a long time ago! So I'm reciprocating the favor!"
"Oh? Big beggar? Does he have a name? Maybe I even know him."
I shook my head: "It's not convenient to say, he has been living in seclusion in the past two years."
"Uncle, I also want to eat a bag of Laotan pickled cabbage instant noodles."
The little beggar named Xingxing suddenly spoke.
"You're such a loser! You've been reincarnated as a starving ghost! You've eaten at least eight bags by yourself! That's almost enough! Save some for tomorrow! You see, Diode only ate two bags!"
I said don't scold him. This child is growing up and is eating normally.
The young Xingxing patted his chest and said: "Uncle, my sister, the second-level supervisor, has a small appetite. I am a man, so I must eat more!"
Female??
I was stunned and quickly turned around!
This young beggar’s hair is relatively long, his clothes are messy, and his face is dirty. He is probably in his early twenties? I can’t see clearly, so I’m not sure.
However, I see that she is very thin and has a small frame! Her ten fingers are also very slender and slender.
Uncle Liu nodded at me, which was acknowledging that she was a girl.
I immediately laughed and said, "Hey, you haven't spoken a word. I really didn't see that you were a woman. Why did you come up with such a name?"
Diode? It's still a girl's name.
Others call her Goudan, Xingxing, etc., which is normal, but her name is too special. I feel that calling her Erqijia might sound better than Erqijie.
Uncle Liu explained: "Little brothers, the beggar is just like his father. The names of these little ghosts are all given by the beggar. They have to call them whatever the beggar wants. They have no right to choose their own names.
Beggar Tou drank too much, so he randomly picked up this name."
Diode raised her head and glanced at me. She still didn't speak and seemed to be very introverted.
Little Xingxing was very happy after eating, and he said loudly: "Brother! My uncle is a martial beggar! Have you heard of martial beggars? My uncle can help you fight and clean up people! If you don't like anyone, just tell him!
Make sure you take care of the other party!"
"Warrior beggar!"
"I'm disrespectful, kid!" I said hurriedly.
The other party waved his hand: "I just know some Kung Fu like a three-legged cat. I can deal with ordinary people, but I can't stand on the stage."
Little Xingxing stood up: "Uncle, you lied again! You don't know the Three-legged Cat Kung Fu! You know the Pure Clothes Kung Fu! I saw it with my own eyes! Just last time, the fat man who weighed more than 200 kilograms was slapped by you.
Get down!"
This uncle was talking about something, but I could tell from the look on his face that he enjoyed these compliments from the little beggar Xingxing.
I really didn't realize it, but it turns out that my uncle is still a martial beggar!
Except for the lunatic nail-headed beggar, most of the martial beggars in the Beggar Clan have some real talents, like Liu, the beggar with a soft sword, who has been a martial beggar for three generations.
....
The next morning, on Wangfujing Street.
I was wearing a baseball cap and rags, squatting in the corner with a stainless steel basin in front of me. Someone just threw a 50-cent coin to me.
There are many rich people in gorgeous clothes. In front of me, Uncle Liu, Xingxing and Little Fox can be seen asking for money from people.
They don't reach out and ask for money, but they watch the person talk.
The woman praises the person for her beauty, and the man calls the person handsome, followed by a lot of auspicious and blessing words, which often makes people laugh.
When people are happy, they will throw a dollar or five into their basin.
This is called "Wen Yao".
At first glance, it seems simple, just don’t be afraid of embarrassment, but in fact it is not.
I observed them for a long time and found that the probability of them getting change was very high. There was a secret to this, which was the art of physiognomy.
Who can step forward to ask for something, and who cannot step forward to ask for it, all have their own set of experience and judgment.
In the past, weren't there those "disabled beggars" on the subway? They would hang a stereo on their chest, play sad songs, and crawl around in the subway, reaching out and asking people for money.
Like this, 90%! They are all liars who fake disabilities to deceive people into showing sympathy. The real beggar Uncle Liu looks down on those fake beggars.
In a real beggar gang, if beggars with disabled legs beg for food in the same place, other beggars will not come to this place. If the disabled beggar does not ask for anything all day long, the other beggars will share a little of what they ask for.
Giving your son to a disabled beggar is called business ethics.
In addition to begging for food, beggars in the past had many other jobs to generate income for themselves.
For example, when you are a temporary turtle, you carry a brothel girl with bound feet on your shoulders to a designated place, go to a theater troupe to hold a wooden sign as a second actor, help a rickshaw driver push a rickshaw, put on a heavy funny puppet costume, and stand in a foreign store.
Drawing people in at the door to buy goods, etc. These are all important behaviors.
Wu Yao is no longer authentic.
Among them, the nail-head beggar and the scissor-head beggar like to extort money from butchers and cloth shops. They will not give you money or food, and they will just slash their faces with nails and scissors! Then they will stand in front of the shop and their blood will flow! If they don't give them money, they will die.
In front of your store! Ordinary customers would not dare to enter the store to buy something after seeing this kind of scene, so the bosses mostly have nothing to do.
In the past, when someone was doing something frivolous, beggars would swarm in groups on the way to carry the coffin. They couldn't get up if they didn't give enough money. The same was true for people doing weddings.
reason.
There are also people who support people in fights. The beggar head will make an agreement with the head of the household in advance on how much compensation will be given for a dead person, how much will be paid for a disabled person, and so on.
In short, begging has been a science since ancient times. Once a person has been a beggar for a long time, he will never be able to do any other job in his life. He is a beggar when he is born and will be a beggar when he dies.
I followed them here to beg for food. It was purely because I had been holding back for the past two days and was too busy.
"Why don't you go to work with your uncle?"
The girl's secondary supervisor was sitting in the corner not far from me, so I asked her.
"Are you mute?"
"Or are you deaf-mute?"
"Who did you hear that I was deaf and mute?"
She suddenly replied. How can I describe her voice? It was very neutral.
I sat down next to her and said with a smile: "Is this a birthmark or a scar?" I pointed to her forehead.
She hurriedly smoothed down her bangs, turned her head to the side, and ignored me again.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance of Wangfujing Building, and the faint cry of the little beggar Xingxing was heard.
The secondary supervisor immediately got up and ran over there, and I ran over too.
Many people gathered around.
I squeezed over and saw Xingxing lying on the ground rolling back and forth, saying loudly: "Give me my money back! Give me my money back!"
Uncle Liu looked ugly. Standing across from him was a man wearing a white torn vest. This man was about forty or fifty years old. He seemed to be traveling with Uncle Liu.
Uncle Liu said in a cold voice: "You also rob children of their money. You are not following the rules."
"Ha! Where did you come from, wild beggars! This is our territory! Do you understand the rules? You don't even want to know the rules! You just come to eat at my place with such arrogance? You really think we are vegetarians!"
The second tube pulled Little Xingxing up and patted the soil on his body.
Uncle Liu said with a cold face: "Humph! There is no longer a gang of beggars in Beijing! How can we come to visit you? Blue pole, yellow pole, red pole, white pole. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, those remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty controlled
The beggar gang has been beaten to pieces by the government! What kind of rules do you rely on!"
"Fuck! You old bastard! I just robbed you of your money! Not only did I rob you of your money! I also beat you!"
The crowd was talking a lot, some were joking, some were whistling loudly and saying, "Hit! Hurry!" They were all just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
"Lao Wu! Are these people the only ones looking for trouble with us?"
Five more men gathered around, apparently they were in a group.
"It's just them! Why the hell did the money I got get less this morning!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Get them before the city management comes!" Several people were ready to rush forward.
"Wait a minute!"
Uncle Liu took a step forward, clenched his fists coldly and said, "I'm asking again, are you sure you want to fight? I will strike hard! If you die or get injured, don't blame me!"
Little Xingxing said excitedly: "Uncle, hurry up and deal with them! Let them know that we Baotou martial beggars are not easy to mess with!"
As soon as those people heard the word "Martial Beggar", their expressions immediately changed.
With hundreds of people watching, Uncle Liu casually tore off his clothes, revealing his rib-like upper body. He pointed at the other person and said coldly: "For the sake of our colleagues, it's still too late to leave now."
"Go away, mother!"
With so many people watching, the other party was also annoyed! He immediately roared and punched Uncle Liu.
I didn't care, because I knew that if a martial beggar couldn't deal with these people, he wouldn't be called a martial beggar.
Never thought about it.
Uncle Liu did not dodge, and received a solid punch on the face!
He was beaten so hard that his nose bled instantly.
Uncle Liu stretched out his hand and said loudly: "For the sake of my colleagues! I'm giving you a chance!"
"Give it to your mother!"
Another fierce punch, this time Uncle Liu was punched with panda eyes.
Another accomplice laughed when he saw this: "Haha! I've seen it a long time ago! He's just pretending! He's not a martial beggar at all!"
Several people swarmed up and surrounded Uncle Liu, punching and kicking him. Although Uncle Liu resisted vigorously, he was still beaten and screamed in agony.
Not only was I dumbfounded, but the little beggar Xingxing was also dumbfounded. He cried and shouted: "Don't hit my uncle! I'll give you all my money! Don't hit my uncle!"
I couldn't stand it anymore and was about to step forward to help. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the thin secondary tube shouted: "Stop fighting! If you want to fight, come at me!"
Several people stopped immediately and looked back at her.
The wind blows and blows away the bangs on the second tube's forehead, revealing the birthmark on her forehead, which looks like a cloud.
"Hahaha! It's so funny! Just you?"
The secondary tube had a frosty look on her face, she raised her right foot and stomped on the ground!
Suddenly!
The bluestone bricks under her feet were broken like spider webs!
