Chapter 5 Little Beggar

Today, he earned an extra sum of money, so Lu Weimang bought a big bag of oatmeal cakes on purpose by spending two cents.

"Sister, one penny is enough, one for each of us."

Changfeng reminded Lu Weimang, Lu Weimang smiled, and patted Changfeng's head, "It's okay, the wheat cakes are durable, and it will be cold tomorrow, so it can be your breakfast."

Chang Feng nodded, but Cheng Yang glanced at Sister A.Although he is only one year older than Changfeng, he is much more sensitive.

The three returned to the old place yesterday hand in hand, the sun had completely set and the night was rising.But the summer night seems to be dispelled by the high temperature, the night is light, and you can see far without light.

Lu Weimang told the two younger brothers to eat slowly, and then they got into the water, while looking at the corner of the wall beside them.

Sure enough, the little beggar who gave a piece of pancake yesterday appeared again.He was behind the corner with his hand, as if he was still holding a person, and after a while, sure enough, a smaller person, who looked a little smaller than Chang Feng, appeared behind the little beggar.

Cheng Yang Changfeng followed his sister's eyes to look over, and after getting used to the darkness, he also saw two dark figures, although he didn't know clearly, but he recognized them, they were haunting around them yesterday and this morning little beggar.

"Sister, it's still that little beggar, and he brought another smaller beggar."

Changfeng saw it, and pointed to his brothers and sisters carelessly, but Cheng Yang immediately stood up, blew his fur like a little lion protecting food, opened his hands, and stood in front of Lu Weimang and Changfeng, " You go away, and we are gone."

The fear of being entangled made Cheng Yang's body tremble slightly, but he still stood up firmly and looked at the little beggar opposite.

The world is bad, and ordinary people are still struggling to survive, let alone beggars without parents.

If Lu Weimang hadn't had such brute strength, she wouldn't be much stronger than these two little beggars today.It's summer now, find a clean eaves, and the three of them can sleep peacefully overnight. When the weather gets cooler, without the temporary job they have now, they still haven't settled down yet.

Fortunately, now that the troubled times are settled, and a new responsible county magistrate has been appointed, these little beggars can sleep peacefully on the street. When the world settles down and various gray industries appear, these children are fat in the eyes of others , even if Lu Weimang has supernatural power, he doesn't know if he can protect himself.Fortunately, she has gained some fame in the county and knows some people. If the beggar is like a ghost, and disappears for no reason at that time, no one will notice.

The little beggar standing at the corner pulled the smaller one, neither approaching nor walking away, just standing quietly aside.

Lu Weimang sighed, took out a whole wheat cake from his pocket, patted Cheng Yang who was in front of him, and walked forward.

"Sister..."

"It's okay, my sister is born with supernatural powers, she can protect herself, and she can protect you as well."

As he spoke, he stepped forward a few steps and stood a few steps away from the little beggar.

"If you have the ability, go to the prefectural city. There are many aristocratic families there. Maybe some refugees and beggars will be taken in. It is also a way out. If you are not able, you have to think of a way out here in the county. Summer is fine, and it will be even worse when it is cold. It's hard. Our siblings won't be here for a few days, and we won't be able to help you for a long time, so you should make plans early."

After speaking, he handed the wheatbread in his hand to the boy who had been silent.

The boy took the oatmeal, his outstretched hand looked much cleaner than his face, and then he took the younger one and walked away silently.

"Sister..."

Cheng Yang walked over and looked at Sister A with some worries.

"It's okay. The world has just been settled. There are fewer people and it is peaceful. I checked during the day and there are not many beggars on the street. I think there are not many lucky ones who survived the peaceful years. We will help as much as we can."

Lu Weimang pulled his younger brother back and sat back, without saying a word in his heart, "She looked at this beggar, and for some reason thought of her two younger brothers. If she hadn't come, would the two of them have suffered like this? ?”

Touching the heads of the two younger brothers, Lu Weimang's thoughts were racing.She knows too little about this era, and she has no channels to learn about the world, so she can only try her best to deal with the administrative documents and listen to their words to obtain some information. , Find a way out for the future.

Next, Lu Weimang's work became smoother and smoother. Not only did he have experience, but he was not as tired as he was at the beginning when carrying a big bag for a day, and the reconciliation work went smoothly.Except that there are always some people pointing and watching Lu Weimang's excitement, everything is fine.

After more than ten days, not only the seller of wheat cakes knew that she was Ms. Lu who was born with supernatural powers, but sometimes people would recognize her when they finished work earlier and walked on the road, "Hey, isn't this Ms. Lu who carries the big bag? It’s quite early to finish work today!”

Lu Weimang almost suffered from social phobia in her previous life, but now she doesn't have the right not to socialize if she wants to, so she endures the instinct of avoidance and nods to everyone who greets her.She just wants to be kind to others now so that she can have a future. Maybe these people who greet her will become her way out in the future?
"Guard Liu."

Lu Weimang once again stood in front of the steward and handed in the calculation chips.

"Miss Lu, today is our last day here, what are your plans for the future?"

Lu Weimang shook his head, forced a smile, "There will always be a way out."

In fact, she has no confidence in her heart, but she can't show it, otherwise it will embarrass others, and it will also make her brothers feel uneasy, so she can only bear it by herself.

"You're a good girl, and you're a man of success. Have you saved a lot of money? There are some vacant houses in the county town. You can go to the government office to inquire and buy a smaller one. The earthen house is still enough. With a shelter from the wind and rain, we can always earn more money in the future.”

Liu Guanshi's instructions moved Lu Weimang a little.For people who meet by chance, every word of advice is a heart.

"Thank you steward, I'll think about it."

Manager Liu sighed, and settled today's wages for Lu Weimang, and she is not needed for reconciliation today, because the warehouse will be closed, so Lu Weimang took his two younger brothers and left the place where he had worked for half a month .

Liu Guanshi looked at the small figures of the three siblings, and unconsciously sighed again.

"Since you're so worried, why don't you speak clearly?"

While recording, the clerk asked Guanshi Liu next to him.

Guanshi Liu shook his head, and he spoke lightly and deeply. There are some things and some things to say. It's not that he doesn't say anything, it's really hard to say.

Lu Weimang was completely unaware of Guanshi Liu's entanglements and worries, and brought his two younger brothers along, planning to have a meal today.

"Changfeng, you used to pass by Xiaodi, and you always drool at the dim sum here. Today, my sister finishes work early, and I will take you to buy some to try."

Changfeng cheered, pulled Ajie's sleeve and ran two steps, and stood at the dim sum shop they usually passed by.

"It's Lu Xiaoniang. You haven't lost money in the past half a month, have you? I brought my brother here today. What do you want to buy?"

The store greeted warmly, and Lu Weimang listened to the store's words. Although he felt uncomfortable for a moment, he smiled slightly and replied, "Well, the warehouse is closed, and I'm here to buy some snacks for my brother. Chengyang, Changfeng , what do you like, each person chooses the same!"

"Sister, I want to eat peach cakes."

Peach Cake is the dessert that Changfeng has seen other children eat for the longest time these days. He has been coveting it for several days, and today he can finally get his wish.

"Shopkeeper, a pack of peach cakes."

Lu Weimang turned to look at the third brother beside him, "Chengyang, what about you, what do you want to eat?"

Cheng Yang looked at the wide variety of snacks, and said to sister a little embarrassed: "Sister, I don't want dim sum, can I buy a bag of candy? There are only a few pieces of dim sum, and they will be eaten up soon. Sugar can be stored for a long time. If you want something sweet, eat a piece."

Lu Weimang patted the third younger brother's head and looked at the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, do you have rock candy? Get me a pack. How much is it?"

"Peach Cake comes in a pack of three Wen. What is rock candy? Please ask Lu Xiaoniang to clarify, maybe your country and the county have different names."

Lu Weimang didn't care either, she was indeed not very clear about some common sense, so she described rock sugar in detail, "It's transparent white, the shape of a thumb-knuckle cube, one piece of sugar that can be stored for a long time, sweeter than white sugar Some."

With that said, Lu Weimang took the money from the armhole and waited for the shopkeeper's quotation to count the money.

As a result, the shopkeeper had a confused expression on his face, "Miss Lu, if you want to buy ordinary sugar, we have it here, but white sugar is such a precious thing, you may have to go to Fucheng to find it. I heard that white sugar is as crystal clear as snow. Clear, such a small place like ours can't get in that kind of precious things, let alone rock sugar that is sweeter than white sugar."

The shopkeeper thought that Lu Xiaoniang was talking casually, teasing herself, and perfunctory children, so her tone was not very good.

That's right, if you go to a street stall and ask to buy famous brands, everyone will think that you are making fun of others and that you are here to cause trouble.

Lu Weimang's heart skipped a beat, but there was nothing missing on his face, he smiled and said, "Look at my memory, Bingtang is what my dad told me when I was a child, saying that Fucheng has this kind of candy, but it's precious and rare, maybe it's me I was too greedy when I was a child, so I always remembered it. Shopkeeper, just bring me a pack of the sweetest candies."

The shopkeeper's face softened after hearing Lu Weimang's explanation, and he turned around and took a bag of candy from the shelf, "This is two Wen, plus the peach cake, it's five Wen in total."

Lu Weimang counted out five coins, put the rest back into the armhole, handed the money to the shopkeeper, and then took two packages from the shopkeeper.

"Miss Lu is rich, eat these two packs, and come back later!"

The shopkeeper casually pulled back the repeat customers, but it made Lu Weimang's heart sink deeper and deeper.

I don't know if it's because of suspicion, Lu Weimang walked down the street with his two younger brothers, and always felt that there were vague eyes around him, falling on him.

It was as if there was a tiny ant crawling around in my heart.

"Boss, here are the sesame seed cakes for five cents!"

"Sister, we can't eat that much."

Cheng Yang was taken aback by Sister A, and hurriedly said.

"It's okay, let's eat slowly."

Lu Weimang was perfunctory to his third brother, he didn't dare to talk too much, and he didn't even dare to take more precautions.

She was afraid that if she bought a weapon and came back, the person who was staring at her would turn into a murder weapon with her bare hands.Melee combat is always less harmful than using a knife or a gun.

Returning to the old place of the third sister and brother as usual, the two younger ones hold wheat cakes in one hand and peach cakes in the other, savoring the delicious food carefully.

Lu Weimang was disturbed by the feeling of Rumang on his back.

She thought of Liu Guanshi's words, then thought of the words of the dim sum shopkeeper, and the intuition that kept making her hair stand on end.

She didn't dare to look around, but she seemed to clearly perceive that there were one or several pairs of eyes staring at them in the dark.

She got all the money today, and she doesn't have to go to work tomorrow. If there is a situation, it will be dangerous tonight.

But she couldn't blatantly guard against anything.After all, they are children, and most of the time children's words are not taken seriously.Even Steward Liu reminded me vaguely, how can I rely on my three children in this county?
The sun is about to set, and there is not much time left for myself.
