windy cold

Chapter 80

At that time, Lu Wanfeng had just returned from a fight with the big buns on the East Street, snatched some of their meat buns, strolled after dinner, and then passed by the gorgeous mansion of the richest family in Yanlai Town.

It's just that this morning's gorgeous mansion has turned into a rotten and withered frame, and the pavilions and pavilions with carved beams and painted buildings were burned overnight. The flames soared to the sky that night and almost burned to the sky. screams.

When it was dawn, someone hesitated to open his door, and saw a thick layer of mist covering Yanlai Town, which was shocking.

Some watched the excitement, some regretted it, some were terrified but couldn't stop their curiosity, and there was a circle of people in front of the burnt ruins of the mansion early in the morning.

Lu Wanfeng was so crazy yesterday that he slept too deeply, didn't listen to anything, and when he got up in the morning, he still cursed at the weather until he walked in front of the former Qin Mansion.

He pinched his nose, the burnt smell was too strong, and the residual temperature was still scorching hot. He was about to leave, but he thought that the Sixth Gang couldn't get rid of the pot during this time, so he decided to go in and find out if there was anything that hadn't been burned. of valuables.

Then he heard a thin cry next to the passing slop tank.

Opening the lid, the stench came out, he pinched his nose, and stared at the teary boy inside.

Ah, it seems that the young master of this rich family hid here and survived.

Lu Wanfeng put the lid back again, and then continued to rummage and pick it up as if nothing had happened, and his hands were burned during the process.

Picking up a golden jade hairpin was quite rewarding, but it was taken from a coke-like lonely head, he didn't think it was so scary, he hadn't seen anything since he was a beggar for a long time.

After searching around, the harvest was not bad, and many people in the town followed suit to pick it up. He felt that it was almost done, so he patted his butt and prepared to go back.

Then I passed the swill tank again, but there was no sound in it.

The eldest young master seemed to be the only survivor, Lu Wanfeng thought about it, and felt that the old sixth gang could expand their manpower, so he opened the lid again and fished out the man.

The water was still hot.

Regardless of whether the young master was willing or not, he was dragged and dragged into the deserted Goddess Temple at the foot of the Goddess Peak outside the town.

If you don't enter, you don't know, there are about [-] children, big and small, in this Goddess Temple.

When he was taking him back, Lao Wu came up to meet him, but he was so smoked that he took three steps back, and said in pain, "Who are you bringing back this time? Why is it more stinky than us?"

The young master acted as if he hadn't heard of it, and he was stunned and didn't respond from the beginning.

"Go, go, I picked it up in the town and threw it into the slop bucket." Lu Wanfeng fanned him away, then turned to ask the young master, "How old is it?"

The young master didn't speak, the little monkey next to him leaned over and said, "I remember that the Qin family held a birthday party for their son's seventh birthday last month."

Lu Wanfeng rubbed his chin, thinking, "Seven years old, okay, those with healthy hands and feet can go to work on the street." Then, he pointed to an empty meadow by the door and said to the young master, "You Just sleep there, don't make such an expression, follow my sixth son, you will eat and drink."

The Eldest Young Master was forced to become a member of the Old Sixth Gang, a villainous faction in Yanlai Town, although he did not express any intention to join.

The old six gang is also interesting to say, originally it was just five or six homeless children gathered together, and even the Goddess Temple did not belong to them at that time.

Later, a hooligan beggar appeared in the sky of Yanlai Town. He was only seven years old, and he was very shameless. He grabbed a meal with the fifth child and had a fight. This is the "Old Five Gang" with a small number of people.

There are not many people in the fifth gang, and there are still a few who are more or less sick. The land in the town is pitifully small, and they are hungry every day, but this kind of life began to improve after the arrival of the rogue beggars.

He brought a few who could fight and scold, went to the streets to pick troubles everywhere, and provoked the other two big gangs in the town to fight each other, and the result was that the losing gang was recruited by him and merged into the fifth gang. .

Although the sixth child was seven years old, he was not as tall as a five-year-old child because of poor conditions when he was young, he was not as tall as a five-year-old child, but his methods and brains were quite nimble. The fifth child admired him so much that he simply handed over the boss position to him, while the rogue beggar patted his chest and said, "From now on, you are the fifth child and I am the sixth child. You and I will be brothers!"

From then on, the gang changed its name to the Lao Liu Gang. The rogue Lao Liu was not afraid of anything, and ruthlessly grabbed most of the territory in Yanlai Town, causing the big gang to suffer unspeakably.

In this way, Lao Liu can be regarded as the new "bully" in Yanlai Town.

Of course, this sixth child is the future Lu Wanfeng.

The joining of the young master did not change the life in the Goddess Temple. The food brought back from the town by begging or robbing the young people in the gang was evenly distributed to everyone, even the little baby who was waiting to be fed. Rice soup or secretly squeezed goat milk.

A few days later, the baby girls of the two biological sisters sneaked up to Lu Wanfeng and said, "Boss, the new one smells so bad, I can't even sleep."

It was only then that Lu Wanfeng remembered that he should take him to take a bath. Although the beggar's den was stinky, the smell of rancid swill was still too bad.

Anyway, I haven't washed for almost a month, so I called the fifth and a few people, took the young master with me, and went to take a bath in the stream downstream of the town.

The beggar leader wandered around all day long, seemingly not doing his job properly, but in fact he was worried about the land and food, and now he was stealing half a day's leisure and was completely undressed.

The young master sat by the river without saying a word, covering his eyes so as not to look at the naked little boys in the river.

Lu Wanfeng had a good time before sitting back on the shore, wet and without pants, poked the sour-smelling young master, "You really don't want to wash? It stinks!"

The young master trembled a bit, just opened his fingers a little, then closed them again immediately, moved to the side and then moved.

Lu Wanfeng understood, took the trousers and put them on, and didn't sit down again, and said from a distance: "Young Master is really delicate, unlike us, what we sleep on is the earth, what we build is the sky, and what we eat is dross , Leaving this group of partners with the same destiny, is really a scum abandoned by the world."

"..."

"Well, anyway, they have enough washing, I let them get dressed, so it's okay, right?"

"..."

The young master still didn't speak, Lu Wanfeng yelled twice and drove Old Wu and the others back, and said to him, "The water is flowing and not dirty. There is no one in it now, and I have my clothes on. Is that okay?"

It took a long time for the young master to put his hand down, but he still didn't move.

Lu Wanfeng thought that this newcomer was really difficult to serve, he scratched his head and couldn't think of a way.

Then suddenly I heard the person next to me muttering in a low voice: "I don't know how to drink water..."

Lu Wanfeng laughed, and simply put on his trousers and went into the water, turned around and stretched out a hand and said, "The water is not deep, you see, it just reached my chest, you are taller than me, it's even shallower when you get down, don't be afraid, it's a big deal I'm holding you."

The pampered and pampered young master has experienced the heartbreaking death of his family for a few days, and now he has recovered a little bit, and he also feels that his body is rotten, but he can't save face in front of this group of beggars.

But...it really smells bad.

In the end, he still grabbed the friendly hand extended by the beggar leader, and without taking off his clothes, he dipped into the stream little by little.

"How do you wash without taking off your clothes?"

The young master ignored him, holding tightly with one hand, and scrubbing his body with the other. After a while, the stream was dyed with a yellow-green filthy stream, which floated towards the deserted forest outside the town.

It was only when Lu Wanfeng went back that he realized that the young master had no clothes to change into.

So in the afternoon, he took some private money and went to the tailor shop in the town to buy a set of clothes that looked pretty good. Even though he paid enough, he still received a lot of stares.

The young master was very surprised when he got his new clothes. The clothes he was wearing were still worn from home, and he hadn’t dried them in the temple all afternoon. Even if they were made of the best materials, they still made people feel uncomfortable. Very, also sneezed several times.

But Lu Wanfeng's meaning was very clear, the clothes were for him, and he made some gangsters look red-eyed, and he scolded him back: "He is the young master of a rich family. If we go back, we will lose our benefits by then?"

The restless gang members were immediately appeased.

The eldest young master hugged the folded new clothes, and he didn't take his eyes off the gang leader's face for a long time.

In the evening, he changed into new clothes, and then took the old clothes to the river to wash carefully. His hands were flushed and his head was sweating.

Lu Wanfeng, who had been observing him for a long time, stepped forward, and suddenly said from behind him: "If you wash like this, the skin will be torn and it won't be clean."

The young master is usually served carefully, where did he do this kind of rough work?He was startled at first, then blushed and ignored him.

"Oh, go, go, I'll do it," Lu Wanfeng squeezed him away, took out a washing stick, spread out the clothes, sprinkled them with saponin powder, and beat them, "This is called washing clothes, you children from rich families, well……"

The young master bit his lips tightly and did not speak.

After a while, Lu Wanfeng felt that something was wrong, and turned to look at him, only to realize that he was blushing as if he was dying, and he was very helpless, and said, "Angry? Isn't what I said the truth? Rich people don't need anything." Do it, enjoy the blessings every day, just spend money and hire someone to do it, it’s not like us..."

Although he wanted to refute it, the young master felt that this was indeed true, although he felt very ashamed at this time.

Lu Wanfeng didn't mean to stop, and continued to chatter: "Two years ago, the court was in turmoil and there was a lot of war. My family is in a place in the Central Plains, which happened to be the place where the war was fought. Within two months, the village disappeared, and my parents also died." I died, I picked it up, and I don’t have any relatives to turn to, so I took three pieces of pancakes all the way south from my hometown and came here.”

When he spoke, he spoke with a maturity beyond his age, and he talked about the hardships and pains along the way. He was not at all like a boy who was not yet eight years old. The hardships of life forced people to grow up ahead of time, helpless and heartbroken.

"...Meeting Lao Wu is really fate. Now that the war is over, I decided to stay here in the future. The Goddess Temple used to be a large temple dedicated to the town, but it was abandoned after the war. I want to use this place as a base. The sixth gang has developed into the largest gang in the south of the Yangtze River, taking in homeless and lonely children all over the world. No matter what they have experienced, they will have a home with my sixth gang."

The young master listened to all this in silence, and realized that he was also one of the homeless. After a short period of grief and emotion, the bloody tragedy behind him poured out a strong hatred.

I really want to confide everything that I hold in my heart.

"A woman in a cloak came to my house that day. My father was correcting my calligraphy. When he saw her suddenly, he was so scared that the ink spilled on the page." "I've never seen such a woman with a hideous face. She said that my father stole some money from the church and told us to surrender and return it immediately."

Lu Wanfeng hammered his clothes twice, and his ears perked up.

"My father didn't agree, so they started to fight. The woman first beat the housekeeper to death with a red whip, and then arrested my mother...killed her...and set her on fire...I'm so useless, I help everything I can't..." The young master spoke intermittently, gradually breaking down in tears, his twitching shoulders looked weak and helpless.

Lu Wanfeng put down the washing hammer, ran through the foam on his hands in the water, wiped it on his clothes, then hugged his younger brother who was obviously smaller but taller than him, and patted him lightly. back.

"It's okay, it's okay, just survive..."

The young master grabbed the fabric of his collar and burst into tears.

The moon was hollow, and the night was quiet. The commotion here sounded particularly loud. Lao Wu, who was woken up, walked over rubbing his eyes, and was sent back by him with a wave of his hand.

It took a long time for the crying to stop, Lu Wanfeng let go of him, saw a pair of red and swollen rabbit eyes that couldn't help laughing, was stared at twice, and then smiled and said: "What's your name? I can't keep calling you young master." Bar?"

Qin First Young Master Hao Ran wiped his tears from the side, and replied in a low voice: "Qin Chuhan."
