Drunkenly Resting Head Against Rivers and Mountains Chapter 2: Begging in the banana alley

In July of the second year of Yongchun, Guangzhou.

On the Long Street, countless pedestrians, business travelers, and stalls crowded the otherwise spacious street.

wide robe with big sleeves, men with lapels and narrow sleeves, and civilians with short brown cloth shirts, walking lively.

Both sides of the road, the Tianzhu people wearing shawls and earrings peddled his sandalwood loudly in the grungy Tang Dynasty dialect, and the Kunlun children from Nanyang walked barefoot on the street, selling aloe vera. Some of the pain relief creams are constantly boasting about how refreshing his clove tablets can be.

There are also Persians wearing small-sleeved robes and leather hats, selling Persian dates for makeup and saffron powder for perfume. Of course, even the most popular condiments in the Tang Dynasty: black pepper and thick mustard.

Even the merchants selling pistachio nuts pushed the cart and opened the big voice, all the way to pistachio kernels can make men and kidneys, and women happy and happy, roaring the mountains and rivers, attracting countless women for a time: who does not want His own man is Ang Zangwei's husband, whether outside or in bed.

After the stalls on both sides of the road, there is a clear stream. A stone, wooden bridge overwhelms the small river, and the bridge crosses the river, and bananas are planted on the banks of the river. Behind the banana trees is a family restaurant, where the lingering aroma comes out. Into the bustling picture on the street.

is a lively and prosperous world, after all, it can't compare to the world painted on the book. On the picture, you can erase everything you do n’t need, but you ca n’t in the real world. There are still poor people at any time. A ragged little beggar is running barefoot and running desperately, behind Chasing two menacing strong men.

Xiaoqier escaped into an alley and was exhausted finally. He was chased by two strong men. After a punch and kick, Xiaoqier hugged his head, curled up like a puppy, It was kicked and kicked and flew, neither begging nor crying, until someone kicked and flew into the ditch on the side of the alley, only to mumble, fainted passed.

The two strong men put their sleeves away and walked away, saying with curse and curse: "Big begs, dare to steal something to eat, and then let Lao Tzu catch, kill you all!"

Pedestrians are on the road, but nobody cares.

I do n’t know how long it took a woman in a shabby skirt to lead a little girl from the narrow and narrow alleys. The little girl saw the beggar lying on the edge of the stream, and she stood still Step, there seemed to be a little dispute with her mother, the little girl won, she took the worn little skirt and ran to the stream quickly.

The little girl squatted down to look at the boy who was watching fainted, and then took a broken pot from her mother and carefully fed him to eat porridge. The little beggar was obviously hungry, even though he was in a coma. When rice porridge was fed to his mouth, he swallowed subconsciously and quickly.

Little beggar woke up slowly. When he opened his eyes, there was a burst of pain in his eyes. One of his eyes was beaten blue, and there was only one gap left in the swollen. After a dizzy turn, he opened slightly The open eyes were fixed on the little girl of before one's eyes.

The girl is six or seven years old, with a thin, dirty face, messy hair yellowed due to malnutrition, and only a pair of eyebrows that are dark and thick. If such a pair of eyebrows grow on a boy, It will definitely look heroic, and it seems too thick on the girl.

The little girl was wearing a moon-shaped short undershirt, and a line was opened at her shoulder, revealing a hint of skin. Her lower body was a chest-length bamboo leaf skirt. She was crouching in front of the little beggar at the moment. There were two shiny knees in the hole in the skirt.

The little beggar quickly understood his situation and the identity of the other party. He did n’t thank him. He just stared at the little girl. The little girl grinned and smiled at him, probably because he was changing teeth. , The teeth in her mouth were not complete, and she looked ugly.

The girl tilted her head and thought about it, took a steamed bun from her arms, carefully broke it in half, and compared it, put the larger half in the arms of the little beggar and grinned at him again. Carrying the jar and standing up, the woman came over and took her little hand, and gave the boy an indifferent glance, and the mother and daughter walked away along the deep, narrow alley.

The little beggar got up hard, and his bones were sore for a while. He pulled the silky ragged clothes, looked left and right blankly, and then subconsciously followed the mother and daughter.

The girl took her mother ’s hand and looked back from time to time. The boy who dropped out not far from them seemed to be in a more difficult situation than their mother and daughter. The ragged clothes could only barely cover the body and the open collar The rugged collarbone is exposed everywhere, his cheeks are thin and yellow, his face is bruised and swollen, and the new wounds are overlapped with the old ones.

The girl grinned at him again.

Gradually, the road became more and more remote, and a broken temple with a half-enclosed wall appeared in front.

The woman led the little girl into the broken temple. The little beggar stood outside the broken temple for a while and followed him in.

There is more than one beggar in the broken temple, an old beggar sits in the sun, takes off his jacket, reveals a skinny body, is holding fleas there, another beggar is stronger, lying on a pile of firewood , Sang a song hummingly with Erlang's legs.

The woman took the little girl to find a place in the broken temple at the leaking roof. The little girl started to eat, and the woman grabbed a cup of pliable wild grass and began to weave something.

Little beggar looks like a frightened little beast, looking at everything in the temple alertly, but he still leans stubbornly towards the mother and daughter. He was rarely treated with kindness, and the little girl's kindness made him feel very cordial, and he was helpless and instinctively wanted to be close to what he felt kind.

The little girl chewed the steamed buns with her mouth missing two front teeth, and for a long while, until the saliva got wet, she bite hard, she swallowed the steamed buns happily, and looked at the boy, Quietly asked: "My name is Niu Niu, what is your name."

Little beggar seemed a little dazed, for a while, a bit of bitterness flashed across his eyes, and he gently replied: "I ... called A'Chou."

"A'Chou, you sit down!"

Niu Niu patted the straw next to her, A'Chou looked at it, and sat down gently beside her.

Niu Niu bites the bun, tilts his head to look at him, and asks in a low voice: "How can you be beaten like this?"

A'Chou replied: "Because I stole their food."

"Oh! This is not good, just ask for food, you will always encounter kind-hearted people."

A'Chou was silent for a while, and gently said: "Begging, I ca n’t do it, I ... ca n’t reach ..."

Both of the front teeth of Niu Niu were lost. The steamed buns were not put for a few days. They were as hard as a stone. They gnawed for a long time. The wet ones were all saliva. When she heard A'Chou, she gave up her efforts to continue eating her buns, opened her mouth in surprise, and asked, "How come? Isn't it a shame to steal something?"

A'Chou thought about it seriously and replied: "I do n’t know, although stealing is also reaching out, but ... it seems to be different. Stealing, as long as I am ready to be beaten, and begging, I just stretch If you do n’t do it, you ca n’t say anything to beg ... "

Niu Niu blinked and thought for a long time in confusion, shaking his head: "I don't understand!"

A'Chou smiled bitterly, slowly raised his head, looked at the beam of sunlight cast from the hole in the roof of the temple, and the light dust flying in the sunlight, quiet and authentic: "In fact, I don't understand ..."

Niu Niu smiled giggly and said, "A'Chou, you are such a strange beggar."

A'Chou stubbornly emphasized: "I am not begging! I have never begged!"

Niu Niu has a good temper, letting the trail go: "Okay, okay, you ’re not a beggar, you ’re a weird thief, so do you? Hee hee."

"Uh!"

A'Chou thought about it, nodded solemnly, and approved her evaluation.

Niu Niu turned her head and pulled the sleeves of her mother, begging: "Mother, would you like to weave pairs of shoes for A'Chou?"

She turned her head again, blinked, and asked, "A'Chou, would you like to stay here?"

“……”

"Huh?"

"Uh!"

Niu Niu grinned again with incomplete teeth, ugly look.

At this time, a pair of straw sandals are gradually taking shape in the hands of Niu Niu mother ...

A'Chou is really a strange kid ~ IndoMTL.com ~ He has always been stubborn and refused to beg, rather than steal.

Because of poor stealing, A'Chou is often beaten with bruises and bruises. If it were n’t for Niu Niu, he might have starved to death.

There are more than ten beggars in the broken temple. They all feel that A'Chou should be dumb. He must be stupid, but Niu Niu does n’t think so.

A'Chou never sat in the sun like other beggars when he was full. He took off his jacket and grabbed fleas, while telling jokes in the yellow cavity, he always sat in the half-stone mill in the backyard of the broken temple Go up, staring at the sky with a chin in a daze. Niu Niu thinks A'Chou must be thinking about something.

A'Chou will think, will others?

Another time, Niu Niu secretly saw A'Chou holding a branch in his hand, drawing something on the sand. When he walked away, Niu Niu walked over and compared with the half-stone tablet for a long time, and recognized that A'Chou wrote The words on the half of the stone monument reminded him of Niu Niu's heart-like smooth movement when writing.

A'Chou can write, can anyone else?

A'Chou will also go to the tree to pick up bird eggs, will use branches to flutter dragonflies, will go down the river to catch small fish, whether it is bird eggs, dragonflies, or small fish, in the end they all become delicious food without exception, although They were all baked without exception, but Niu Niu was delicious.

During those days, A'Chou's face was always bruised, and Niu Niu's lips were always black.

In the childhood of Niu Niu, begging for a living, suffering from white eyes and starvation, the days accompanied by A'Chou became her best memories.
