After Picking Up the Lucky Girl, the Whole Village Became Prosperous Chapter 80

 Alas, who is unlucky enough to be targeted by a little beggar?

If she refuses to go with him, or says that she has a mountain, then she will definitely be beaten up by this young beggar, and then captured and sold.

I had played the role of a beggar in my previous life and had lived a life as a beggar, so I knew a little about the rules of the beggar gang.

They also divide the territory when begging. If other beggars come over, they will either fight with each other and whoever wins will stay, or they will join the other party.

I clearly can't defeat this teenage beggar, and I can't escape immediately, so I can only join them first.

 Joining them also depends on ability. If she is not good at business, she may still be taken away and sold by this beggar.

　　　Until then, I will make the heaven and earth unable to respond, and the earth and the earth will not work.

The middle-aged woman looked at Ying Bao with a look of pity. She took out a white steamed bun from the tribute basket she was carrying and handed it to her, "Take it and eat it. It's so pitiful that you come out to beg for food at such a young age."

Ying Bao took it and thanked him, then ran back with the steamed bun and handed it to the boy.

The young beggar was very satisfied. He took the steamed bun, broke half of it to her, and ate the other half himself.

Yingbao was also hungry, so she squatted on the ground and ate the steamed buns.

At this time, another mother and daughter came over on their way to the temple fair. Yingbao ran over and held out a pair of dirty hands without waiting for the boy's instructions.

Just like that, in less than half an hour, Yingbao got back several steamed buns and pastries, as well as three pennies.

 The young man then asked Ying Bao to rest and replaced him.

 But it is obvious that this young man is not as lovable as a three- or four-year-old child. He may be a familiar face. People do not buy his fault, so they are unwilling to give alms to him.

The young man was a little unhappy, with a ruffian look on his face. Sometimes he would spit at the back of those who rejected him.

 As a result, Ying Bao had no choice but to take action again.

Perhaps the child is too cute. Even if the child is covered with dirt and cannot be seen as it is, there are still women willing to give alms to her.

When Ying Bao came back with a bag of food again, the young beggar's eyes sparkled, and the way he looked at her was like seeing a piece of yellow gold.

 “What's your name?” The young man sat down on the roadside and asked.

 Ying Bao: "My name is Bao Ying. What is your name?"

The young man did not answer directly and said, "You can call me Brother Kui from now on."

Yingbao obediently called out: "Brother Kui."

 Exchanging names means recognizing each other and worshiping the mountaintop.

Brother Kui obviously relaxed and was no longer as wary of Ying Bao as before.

 After the temple fair, Brother Kui led Ying Bao to an abandoned temple.

 This is a half-collapsed earth temple.

 Half of one wall collapsed, and the other three sides were barely supporting the broken roof.

There were some withered grass spread in the ruined temple, and four little beggars were sitting on the withered grass, laughing.

 They are not very old, no more than twelve or thirteen years old at most.

There are three boys and one girl. The girl is only about eight or nine years old.

 “Brother Kui, you're back.” The girl called to the beggar boy.

Seeing him holding a three- or four-year-old beggar, I couldn't help but curiously asked: "Where did you pick it up?"

“At the temple fair.” Brother Kui walked into the ruined temple and pointed to a corner: “Bao Ying, you will sleep there from now on.”

Yingbao looked over and nodded.

Brother Kui took out the steamed buns and pastries from his pocket, but he didn't take out the three cents. "Bao Ying asked for this. She will be your junior sister from now on."

The little beggars all smiled at Ying Bao and handed over the dark food in their hands.

Yingbao didn't mind it either, so she took it and put it in her pocket.

The female beggar came over and asked with a smile: "Why are you alone at the temple fair?"

Yingbao: "I'm separated from my parents." The girl looked at her with some sympathy, touched her muddy head, and said, "Let me comb your hair."

Ying Bao shook his head quickly. "don't want."

 She finally got the chicken coop, so she didn't want to comb it. When she got the chance, she would have to rush home with the chicken coop on her head.

Zhouhe County is about a hundred miles away from Qinchuan County, and about a hundred miles away from Chuanhe Town.

As long as she follows the official road, she should be able to return home in less than ten days.

 Seeing Ying Bao's stubbornness, the girl didn't insist, so she turned around and used flint to light a fire to cook the food.

The beggars had a great harvest today. Not only did they cook a large jar of miscellaneous food, they also each received a steamed bun and a piece of pastry.

Ying Bao also ate a bowl of stew and then lay down in the corner.

 Brother Kui brought a tattered mattress to keep her warm at night, and then lay down next to her.

Several beggars huddled together and fell asleep quickly.

Seeing that Brother Kui was still asleep, Yingbao asked tentatively: "Brother Kui, my parents and I are separated. Can you send me back? My parents will definitely pay you a sum of money."

Brother Kui clearly didn't believe it and said with a smile: "Are you sure your parents will pay me money?"

Ying Bao nodded: "OK."

Brother Kui sneered, "But I'm not sure. Instead of being thankless, I might as well sell you to a flower boat. Then I won't be able to get away with ten taels of silver."

Ying Bao's face darkened.

She knew that this beggar was not trustworthy at all.

Not only the beggars, but also the entire county could not find anyone willing to travel hundreds of miles to send a strange child home.

It's understandable that they don't believe in themselves. After all, no one can be sure whether a child's words can be fulfilled.

 In the eyes of most people, she is a female doll, perhaps intentionally abandoned by her family, so why are they willing to walk more than a hundred miles to send her home.

 Hence, Ying Bao can only think of his own ideas.

 It is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself, then she will go back by herself.

 Alas, I suddenly disappeared, and I don't know how my grandma is doing. My father and my eldest uncle and my second uncle have gone to work on the river. There are only grandma and grandma at home. I guess they are all very anxious.

 The next day, snow particles fell from the sky.

The beggars in the Tutu Temple were shivering from the cold, and they huddled under the grass nests and refused to move.

Although Yingbao also felt cold, she could still bear it. She got up and went outside to deal with important matters in her life, and then returned.

 When he raised his head, he saw Brother Kui leaning against the wall with his arms folded, seemingly staring at her.

Yingbao's face darkened and he asked angrily: “Are you peeking at me?”

Brother Kui chuckled, "Little brat, what do you think?"

Ying Bao was really angry, so she rushed over and kicked him hard, cursing: "Shameless!"

Brother Kui was not upset at all. He picked up Yingbao's collar and returned to the Tutu Temple. He threw her in the grass nest and said, "I'll take you out to eat delicious food later."

Yingbao rolled into the grass nest and ignored him. He was confused for another hour, and several little beggars got up one after another.

There was not much food left from last night, so a few people shared it and then went out.

Brother Kui picked up the Yingbao again and said, "Let's go have a big dinner."

"Don't carry me! I'll go." Ying Bao pushed his hand away dissatisfied and ran forward angrily.

The snow particles hit her face a little painful, but Yingbao didn't care about it and ran quickly.

"You're going the wrong way, this way!" Brother Kui caught up with her in a few steps and grabbed her arm, "This way."

 He pointed in a direction, "Let's go to Sanqing Temple."

“It's the Xiayuan Festival soon, and there's a Zhai Festival over at Sanqing Temple. As long as we time it well, we can eat glutinous rice dumplings.”
