In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan beat Li Shimin at the beginning

Chapter 88 The Beggar's Spring

Seeing this situation, Xiao Ming was scared.He couldn't imagine what the consequences would be after being captured by officers and soldiers.

So, he hurriedly turned his head, got into the alley and ran towards their residence in the suburbs.

Without any danger, he ran back to his residence smoothly.

Their residence is a dilapidated house with air leaks everywhere.Here is an abandoned place.

He ran home, pushed open the door roughly, then slammed it shut, leaning his back against the door, panting wildly.

In the dimly lit room, three pairs of helpless eyes looked at him in horror.

They don't know, what happened to brother Ming today?
The two little boys looked at brother Ming, and then at the little girl lying on the ground.

The little girl lying on the ground had a red face, pale lips, and a pair of small hands drooping weakly.Obviously sick.

Brother Xiao Ming asked the two little boys to watch her at home, and he went out to beg by himself.

But why, Brother Xiao Ming came back not long after he left?

"Brother Ming..."

The little girl lying on the ground screamed weakly.

"Brother Xiao Ming, why are you back? Is there anything to eat? If there is no more food, little sister Xiaoqing will die."

Xiao Ming took a breath, came in front of them, and said dejectedly: "I don't know why, there are officers and soldiers catching beggars everywhere outside today. Chang'an, we may not be able to stay any longer. Xiaoqing, come, I will carry you behind our backs, we Walk."

"what?"

The three of them opened their mouths wide when they heard this.There was a look of despair on his face.

Yes, it is already very difficult for them to live like this.They simply cannot withstand any changes and blows.

If Chang'an City can't stay, where can they go?

The three of them left the city with the little girl on their backs, which was no different from courting death.

The little girl also knew that she was a burden, and at this critical moment, she had to make a decision.

She pushed Xiao Ming's back away: "Brother Xiao Ming, you go, I won't go. Take me, and you won't be able to go either."

"No, Xiaoqing, come up quickly, don't talk so much." Xiao Ming's tone was very firm.

"No, I'm not leaving. I'll stay here. After you leave, I'll go out and let the government arrest me. Send me wherever they want!"

"No, how can this work? Come up quickly, and I will carry you on my back. It will be too late after a while."

One of the little beggars named Little Piggy asked: "Brother Xiaoming, do you know why the government arrests beggars?"

Xiao Ming shook his head, expressing that he did not know.

The little piggy said, "Why are we leaving? They didn't catch us to chop off our heads, did they?

What happened if we were caught by them?Is there anything worse than now? "

Xiao Ming was stunned.

yes!If you go to jail, at least you have something to eat.What are they afraid of?They might as well go to jail now!

"Go, Xiaoqing, come up, I'll carry you out."

Xiao Ming said firmly.

At this moment, there was a noise outside.

Immediately afterwards, the dilapidated door was pushed open.

"Little beggars, I knew you were here. Let's go! Shu Wang's mansion recruits workers, you little beggars are the first to be recruited. You have developed, and you don't need to beg anymore."

A patrolling officer looked at them and said.

Obviously, this officer and soldier knew them, and they also knew this officer and soldier.

It's just that it's just acquaintance.So, the officer and soldier brought people over to look for them.

"What? Why? How is this possible?"

Xiao Ming asked in disbelief.

They also know that the Shu Palace is recruiting workers.However, this is too far away from these little beggars.

When people recruit workers, they want strong and strong people. Those little beggars will only be a burden if they go.Who would want them?

The officer and soldier said: "Don't doubt it, it's really the palace that recruits workers. I heard that Masters Li Yi and Li Er were also beggars in the past. Now that they are well-off, they can talk to the King of Shu, and they will give priority to recruiting you beggars."

Li Yi Li Er they?

Xiao Ming and the others were stunned again.

Li Yi, Li Er, who are they?That is the legend among beggars.

It is said that one day they were taken a fancy to by the king of Shu, and then they flew up the branches and turned into phoenixes.

Among beggars, everyone wants to learn from them, but unfortunately there is no chance.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity really came.In any case, this opportunity must not be passed up.

Xiao Ming asked, "Do you want them all? My sister is sick, do you want them too?"

"Yes, all of them, even if you are sick. Let's go! Hey, brother, get a stretcher here, there is a sick person here."

Soon, two officers and soldiers came over with a stretcher, put Xiaoqing on it, and carried her away.

Xiao Ming and Little Piggy walked beside them nervously.

Soon, they came to an empty place.There are beggars everywhere.It seems that all the beggars in the city are gathered here.

However, at this moment, the faces of these beggars were full of excitement.

After arriving here, Xiaoqing was carried away.The officers and soldiers who knew them told them that they were there for medical treatment.

Xiao Ming and the others were worried and asked to follow, but they were refused.They wanted to resist but didn't dare, they could only watch helplessly as Xiaoqing was carried away.

The officers and soldiers they knew told them not to worry.You must trust His Highness the King of Shu.

Xiao Ming and the others nodded, as a tacit consent.

Soon, Xiao Ming and the others were also arranged to cook.

When they came to the place to eat, Xiao Ming and the others couldn't believe it.

Because, they each received two white flour steamed buns and a bowl of soup.The three brothers are all well fed.

The person who distributed the steamed buns also told them that there are enough steamed buns here, and those who are not full can go to get them.

The white flour steamed buns were so delicious, they wanted to pick them up after eating, but they didn't dare.

Most importantly, really full.no need.

After eating, they were arranged to take a bath.

Yes, all beggars must be washed, from head to toe, and washed well.

The most important thing is that clothes are also distributed, one set for each person.

I heard from the person who handed out the clothes that when they went to Xishan, they would be given two sets to wear in turn.

Xiao Ming and Little Piggy took a bath and put on their clothes.Immediately, I felt like a human being too.

Before that, they were wearing a rotten trousers, which were still for stealing.

They all forgot how long they hadn't enjoyed the feeling of wearing clothes.It's warm and comfortable.

That night, the brothers slept soundly.Sleep is so comfortable.

The next morning, His Royal Highness King Wei came over in person.

His Royal Highness King Wei stood on the high platform and gave them a speech.

His Royal Highness King Wei told them that today, they will go to Xishan to work.

When I went there, each person was paid 10 Wen a day, which was the minimum wage in Xishan.

The reason why he came to find them, these half-grown children, was because they were doing skilled work, not physical work.

Half-old children will learn faster.
