Chapter 336 The Last Wish of the Unlucky Beggar Father and Daughter 6
Changan and Gu Laoliu were halfway through their journey when they remembered that they still hadn't eaten the barbecued pork princess's melon and said, "Dad, the melon is leaking."
"Go back to Lan Gu Mansion?"
Gu Laoliu kicked Monkey Brother’s butt and said, “Dasheng, turn around and go to Langu Mansion.”
"Squeak?" When did it change its name?
"Just tell me if this name sounds good or not?" Gu Laoliu held up his head to tease Monkey Brother, pulling the monkey's head from time to time.
Monkey King tilted his head and thought for a while, "Squeak," then let's call him the Great Sage.
It didn't know that this one was not the saint, but the man and the monkey happily reached a consensus.
Changan: Brother Monkey, I will send you to kindergarten from now on.
He was delayed on the road for another ten days, but he arrived just in time to catch the hot gossip. Changan thought he was going to watch the love story between the Barbecued Pork Princess and the scumbag, but he didn't expect to see the Barbecued Pork Princess's dog walking story.
On the wide street, the scumbag protagonist was seen crawling on all fours on the street with a sign that read "I am a scumbag" hanging around his neck and a dog chain tied around his neck.
The other end of the dog chain was in Jing Mingzhu's hand. She also held a bamboo stick in her hand and would hit the scumbag twice every once in a while.
"Do all couples in this dimension play so wildly?" Chang'an stood at the front of the crowd holding a watermelon, wondering how the plot had developed like this?
Gu Laoliu squatted beside Changan, propped up his chin, and said lazily: "Maybe this is the interest between lovers?"
The conversation between the father and daughter amused the onlookers, and an uncle even squatted over to tell them the whole story.
"I heard that it was that Ye Gong broke into a girl's boudoir at night and was caught by the girl's guards, which led to the current situation."
Is this what it means to love and hate each other? Chang'an looked back and forth between Jing Mingzhu and Ye Wangba, and he didn't see any spark of love, but he saw that they wanted each other.
Jing Mingzhu took Ye Wangba for a stroll on the street, and then mercifully let him go.
Things are definitely not that simple. Chang'an and Gu Laoliu did not sleep at night. They climbed onto the roof of the inn to look at the stars and wait for Jing Mingzhu and Ye Wangba's melons.
Just after midnight, two dark shadows came out of a mansion carrying a man in white clothes. Chang'an and Gu Laoliu hurriedly followed them.
They followed them all the way to a large house in the west of the city. The two men carried the person and secretly flew into the house. The father and daughter followed behind them and watched them strip Ye Wangba of his clothes and then throw him into a yard.
The people in the yard heard the noise, immediately lit up the lights, and asked cautiously, "Who?"
After a long time without any answer, the old man opened the door and saw Ye Wangba lying naked in the yard.
"Oh! Isn't this Mr. Ye? Why are you here in my house like this in the middle of the night?"
It looked like it was thrown in by someone. Master Ye must have offended someone, and that person happened to know his hobby. Since it was sent to him, he accepted it without hesitation.
The old man dragged the person into the room. Gu Laoliu didn't let Chang'an continue to listen to what happened next. The father and daughter left the west of the city.
Changan reasonably suspected that maybe the heroine from the previous dimension had traveled here? Look at what they did? Their brain circuits were the same.
"Hey, baaah, Dad, what's wrong with Jing Mingzhu?"
"What's wrong with her?" Gu Laoliu didn't care. There are thousands of heroines in the world, and they are all similar. It's not uncommon to have a few with similar brain holes.
Chang'an is tired of saying the word "evil", but those male protagonists are not good guys either, so it's not excessive to treat them in any way you want.
I didn’t get any fresh gossip in the following days, but I found out that Jing Mingzhu and Chen Xinxing were in love with each other, and they should be having a sister-brother relationship.
Chang'an and her sixth father set out again to return to the capital. They could beg for food anywhere, but this was a disaster area. The local beggars were all receiving relief food. How could they dare to get involved?
It was already autumn when they staggered back to the capital. Two special beggars appeared on the streets of the capital. They were dressed in rags but kept themselves very clean.
Their unique way of begging makes those who give alms less repulsive.
Changan and Gu Laoliu frequented the steamed bun shop the most. "Boss lady, congratulations on your prosperity and good luck. Can I have two steamed buns?"
"If you say a few more auspicious words, I'll give it to you," the proprietress squatted down and teased Chang'an. It was really the first time she saw such a fat little beggar.
Look at the other beggars, they are all skinny as skeletons, but this little fat guy is three times as big as others.
The proprietress didn't recognize Chang'an as the little black charcoal from before. There was really such a big difference between them, so it was normal that she couldn't recognize him.
She observed the father and daughter for a long time and found that most of the food they begged was not eaten by themselves. Instead, they gave it to children and the elderly who had no food left.
The beggar should be a somewhat educated person, but I don't know how he fell to the point of begging? The beggar would teach the children to read and write, teach them arithmetic, and then encourage them to find jobs.
Every day, the beggars would gather together and learn to read from the big beggar. The little beggars who successfully found a job would come to the big beggar after work, and each of them would bring some food to the father and son.
Seeing this, the owner of the steamed bun shop would do what she could. She would leave half a basket of steamed buns unsold every day, waiting for Chang'an and other little beggars to come and beg.
Changan thought about it, put the small broken bowl on his head, and then bowed with both hands, "I wish the boss lady a prosperous business! Make a fortune every day! Be more and more beautiful, and have many children and grandchildren."
Gu Laoliu: ...It’s a bit unreliable that the steamed bun shop makes a fortune every day.
He gave the proprietress a good luck charm and a peace talisman. Good people will certainly be rewarded.
The proprietress was amused by Chang'an and laughed out loud. She packed a big steamed bun in a cloth bag for her. Chang'an bowed and expressed her gratitude while carrying the big steamed bun.
Originally, this body was a small ball with three heads. Now she was fat and was carrying a large bag of steamed buns. When she bent down, she felt top-heavy, and then she somersaulted in confusion.
Gu Laoliu was startled and quickly picked her up and took off the bag of steamed buns, "Girl, your neck...?"
He wanted to ask if Chang'an's neck was injured, and then he found out that his daughter had no neck, it was a can that was the same thickness from top to bottom.
Being a beggar and being able to eat so much and become so fat is quite a skill.
Gu Laoliu thanked the proprietress, then took the can and went to look for the little beggars who couldn't get food.
In a thatched hut in the slums, six little beggars aged four to six saw Gu Laoliu and Chang'an coming back and all surrounded them. Their return meant that they would not have to go hungry at noon.
"Uncle Gu, An An, are you back?"
"Everyone line up, no rushing allowed."
The thatched hut was rented by Gu Laoliu, and the money was taken from Jing Huaisheng. Considering that he was so poor, he only took ten taels of silver from him, which was more than enough to rent this thatched hut.
Gu Laoliu gave each child a steamed bun and left the rest in the kitchen. The children knew that it was their dinner.
Everyone is very well-behaved. They would take what Gu Laoliu gave them, and would not touch what was not given to them even if it was placed on the table.
