In ancient times, even if the county town lacked the city wall, it could not lack the city god temple, and in the era of reverence for the gods, sacrifice was the top priority. Shouzhang County naturally has the City God Temple, but at this time it has been occupied by refugees.

After dark, hundreds of refugees crowded the already small city god temple, whether it was the corner or the aisle, even the god platform was lying on people, the air was mixed with all kinds of unpleasant smells, sweat smell, foot odor, and even the smell of feces and urine, and I don't know which one lacked virtue pulled a few bubbles of under the god platform, green-headed flies buzzed around, and mosquitoes flocked in groups to enjoy the gluttonous feast, sucking blood on the refugees who were already yellow and thin.

In the dark, a six- or seven-year-old boy was curled up in a corner of the patio, with a cupola on his head.

The little boy seemed to be alone, with a small bag of flour he had received today sitting under his buttocks, and his eyes widened with vigilance, as if he were afraid that someone else would rob him of his flour. In fact, there were several adult male refugees in the vicinity who looked at him maliciously.

There was a clump of wormwood at the boy's feet, and all but his bare skin was green with leaf juice, and the mosquitoes turned around and flew away as soon as they approached.

At this moment, a fire suddenly lit up outside the City God Temple, and in the footsteps, several people walked in with torches, and the refugees in the temple suddenly became commotion, and some people hid in the darkness where the fire could not be illuminated.

At this moment walked in two servants in soap suits, and several other ragged fellows, all ruffians, whose eyes greedily glanced at the women among the refugees, as if looking at a herd of pigs and sheep in the pen.

If Xu Jin was present at this time, he would definitely recognize at a glance that one of these ruffian guys was the male "refugee" who knelt on the side of the road this afternoon, thanking the prefect for saving his life.

This goods, nicknamed Touch Heisan, is not a refugee from another county, but a beggar leader in the city, and several ragged ruffians around him are his younger brothers.

The two servants in soap suits gave a look, and then they stepped forward with a few younger brothers with a cruel smile, first stepped on the leg of a refugee sleeping in the aisle, and scolded: "What the hell are you pretending to be dead, get up, and hand over the money and food you received today." ”

The refugee screamed bitterly: "Third master, the food has been eaten, and there are still two pennies left in the money, you can take it!" After speaking, he picked out two copper plates.

The refugee shrunk his neck and said with a smile: "What are you doing with the third master, shouldn't you be looking for a young rabbit, I'm dozens of years old......"

He slapped the refugee with his hand and scolded: "your mother, what is hidden in your crotch?" When Lao Tzu is blind, just a commodity like you, a guy with the size of a donkey can grow underneath. ”

In the dark, more than three younger brothers rushed up, held down the refugee, forcibly stripped off his pants, and took out a bag of food from his crotch.

"Grass, you're disgusting!" He kicked the refugee in the crotch, and the man screamed like a pig in pain, and fell to the ground and curled up in a ball.

"Who dares to hide the money and grain in the bird's nest again, Lao Tzu slaughtered his bird!" He took out a dagger and played with it, shouting in a cruel voice.

The refugees were so frightened that they took out the food and copper coins they had hidden, and a few of them were actually taken out of the birds' nests.

He scolded Ma Mabi and instructed his ruffians to collect all the way, and soon, a large pile of grain was piled up under the feet of the two officials, and the money bags were also bulging.

"If you still have money and food hidden, it's better to hand it over to Lao Tzu automatically, otherwise...... Hey! He walked through the refugee pile with a dagger in his hand, and with a menacing look on his face, he suddenly stopped in front of a woman.

The woman was holding a baby, presumably breastfeeding, with a swollen chest and a large wet patch of clothing.

"Big sister, the milk is so much, can you give my brother two sips!" Hei San licked his lips and said, and the ruffians immediately laughed obscenely.

The woman holding the baby turned pale, and quickly turned around, and a thin man stood in front of the woman, eating and saying, "Third brother, this is my daughter-in-law!" ”

"Get out of here!" As soon as the three daggers were stretched out, the emaciated refugee fell to the ground in fright.

He sneered disdainfully, reached into the chest of the woman holding the baby roughly, grabbed a few handfuls, and then took out a small bag of flour, and scolded proudly: "Ma Mabi, did Lao Tzu call for nothing when he touched Heisan?" ”

The woman fell to her knees and cried, "Third brother, leave us something to eat, my baby is not yet full moon." ”

"Doesn't your baby have milk to eat, crying fart!"

"Where did the milk come from if the adults didn't eat?"

"Don't talk nonsense, if you want food, you can feed the third brother later!" Touching the black three shamelessly dropped a sentence, walked a few steps, stopped at the patio, stared at the little boy with a sky-high bun and said, "Little baby, where are the eyes, the new one?" ”

The little boy glared angrily at Hei San and didn't speak, and the latter smiled: "Ouch, it's quite kind, what's under the ass?" ”

", do you want it!" The little boy said coldly.

Some of the nearby refugees couldn't help laughing, they were stunned for a moment, with a cruel smile on their faces, and stepped forward to lift the little boy up like a chicken, and then slammed it on the ground, and stomped on his stomach again, scolding: "I don't know whether you live or die, believe it or not, Lao Tzu really stepped you out of the shit!" ”

The little boy was stiff, covering his stomach and curling up in a ball, his little face purple in pain, and he didn't scream.

He took out a few copper coins from the little boy and ignored them, and then lifted the bag of grain on the ground and drove away.

Soon, the refugees in the City God's Temple were all looted, and the two officials loaded all the food they had found into the carriage outside, and as if feeding dogs, they threw a large handful of copper coins and a few bags of grain to the three people and drove away.

Mo Heisan nodded and sent off the two officials, and then returned to the City God Temple with a few bags of food, and the refugees looked at them with their eyes shining.

There is also a small ear room of a few square meters behind the city emperor, which is usually lived by the temple Zhugong, but now it is monopolized by the black three.

As the night wore on, the refugees had fallen asleep, and in the darkness the woman who had been holding the baby had quietly gotten up and walked lightly to the back of the ear chamber, her emaciated husband had not yet slept, and his eyes were painfully clasped around the child who was not yet full moon.

A moment later, a man's gasp and a few muffled moans came from the back ear chamber. After two cups of tea, the woman returned sweaty, holding a small bag of grain in her hand, and her face was expressionless.

The emaciated husband gave his mother-in-law an ear scraper, and then held his head and whimpered quietly.

Heaven and earth are unkind, all things are used as dogs, life is so difficult, everything is just to live, the soul and body are so cheap that they are only worth a handful of flour, or a piece of steamed bread, or even worse than grass mustard!

The little boy with a cupodle was lying on the cold ground, in the darkness, with tears and anger in his eyes, why is this world so unjust, the wicked are powerful, and the poor have to suffer.

Bang......

In the early morning, a miserable white lightning swept through the sky, piercing a hole in the sky, and the raindrops the size of beans fell immediately, and the refugees in the Chenghuang Temple jumped for a while, and those sleeping on the patio hurriedly went to hide from the rain.

The beggar leader who had been active on the woman last night had slept very well, but he was also woken up at this time, and subconsciously touched his waist, and his face suddenly changed, because the money bag he hung on his waist was gone, and the bags of grain resting in the corner of the wall were gone, and even the dagger was missing.

"Mada, I'm getting impatient!" Shocked and angry, he hurriedly jumped up to wake up a few little brothers outside.

Soon, the results of the investigation came out, only the new little boy in the City God Temple was missing, judging from last night's performance, this kid is indeed a disobedient thorn, and nine times out of ten this little bastard took it.

"Chase!" The three blacks rushed out of the City God Temple with a group of ruffians in the rain and began a city-wide search.

The third group of people in the black is the head snake of Shouzhang County, and they know exactly where to hide people in the city, but they almost stabbed the mouse holes in the city with sticks, but they did not find the little boy. Now the only possibility is that the little bastard has escaped from the city in the rain.

He led the people out of the city ruthlessly, and swore in his heart that as long as he caught the little boy, he would cut off his hands and feet to make adult pigs, and then throw them on the street to beg for food, and torture him to death, so as to eliminate the hatred in his heart.
