Dahan Pirate Air Force

When the bald man saw that Zhang Bai didn't answer, he raised his leg and kicked him in the stomach, "How dare you not reply, little bastard? I'll kick you to death!"

How could Zhang Bai be kicked by this guy, but he was in disguise to get information and didn't want to cause too much trouble.So he pretended to cower, and when the opponent's toe was about to be kicked, he moved his right hand to the abdomen, and the opponent's toe kicked the wooden hand.

"Ouch!" The bald man didn't expect that the kid's belly was so hard, almost like a hard board. Instead, he kicked his toes off and jumped on one leg holding his toes in pain.

When the man with the wooden stick saw that his elder brother was at a disadvantage, he immediately swung the wooden stick and hit him, nagging: "If you dare to fight back, I will let you fight back! I will let you fight back!" He hit him with the stick one after another, Zhang Bai rolled on the ground to avoid it. It looked like he was being beaten while holding his head. In fact, his wooden hand had already received the blows from the stick again and again, and he was not hit at all.

But all the beggars in the room noticed their commotion, some were watching the fun, and some were making a fuss. Zhang Bai felt that things seemed to be getting more troublesome.

"You guys, have you had enough trouble?" an old but loud voice from the side spoke.Everyone turned around and saw the old beggar sitting by the fire to warm himself up without even looking here.

Everyone cowered and didn't dare to make a sound, and the two attackers also stopped. "Father Sauter, this child is very suspicious. He is not from the same family as us." The man with the cane defended his father.

"I brought him here, he is my man, let him come here!" Father Sauter glared at them sternly, and the two of them had no choice but to retreat without saying a word.

"Come here, come to me." Dad calmly greeted Zhang Bai and asked him to come to him.This was a good way to solve the problem. Zhang Bai did not refuse. He got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his body, and silently walked to the fire and sat down.

Dad didn't say anything and was quiet for a while. Seeing that there was no further explanation, everyone continued to do what they were supposed to do.The people around the bonfire also started fighting for food again. Only Zhang Bai and Father Sauter sat quietly and looked at the bonfire.

"Are you very hot? You can take off your coat." Dad didn't even look at Zhang Bai, but just suggested to him calmly.

Of course, you can't take off this coat. Zhang Bai felt a little regretful in his heart. It seemed that this beggar's den was quite troublesome. If he had known it earlier, there would be no need to wade into this muddy water.

"I'm not hot. I was just a little tired and sweating." Zhang Bai hesitated.

"You are very courageous. Although you are a child, you are not afraid of the people here." Father Sauter asked again: "Don't blame Zabad and Gufei, the two people who beat you just now. They especially hate sneaking. Evil people, because they have been harmed, is that okay?"

Zhang Bai didn't answer. He thought it was best not to say anything at this time.

"You child, you are indeed very special. I saw you lying at the gate of the city for a long time, but you were not cold at all, which means you were dressed warmly. Autumn has arrived, and winter is coming soon. We beggars have to wait for a long time every year. A few of them froze to death, why? Because we can’t always wear warm clothes.”

Zhang Bai screamed in his heart that it was too bad, it seemed that he had exposed himself. He didn't know what to do, so he had to continue to pretend to be deaf and mute.

"You don't fight for food when you see it. Only an old man like me can do this. I'm older and I can't fight for these children. But I also eat less. There are advantages to being older, right?"

"But it's rare for a child of yours to eat so little. But there are children like this, and I've seen them. Do you know where you saw them?" Father Sauter asked again.

Zhang Bai had no choice but to cooperate and ask: "Where?"

Sawtell replied with a smile: "In the palace! Children from rich noble families don't like to eat."

Zhang Bai's heart skipped a beat and he immediately changed the subject: "Have you ever been to the palace? Aren't you a beggar?"

"Yes, I am a beggar, but I did go to the palace, but that was a long, long time ago. At that time, I was as old as you are now. By the way, I did not go to the palace in Peshawar."

Zhang Bai defended: "But, I am indeed not hungry now, so I am just like the people in the palace, right? They are born with good luck and don't know hunger, they don't know the burning madness, let alone the effects of hunger. What come? They're like gods."

Father Sauter smiled and nodded: "That's why I say you are different. Children from noble families cannot say such things, nor can they lie at the gate of the city all day."

At this time, a young beggar next to him handed the father a bowl of soup, which was filled with food. The father thanked the young man and started eating from the bowl.

After a while, the bowl was empty. Sawtel wiped the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "It tastes good. Are you really not going to have some?"

Zhang Bai declined again. He really couldn't stand the smell of food.

So Sawtel started talking again, "In Peshawar, things are not as peaceful as before. Since the death of the old emperor, many things have changed, and so have we beggars. For example, in the past, we lay down wherever we liked, and talked about whatever we liked. Born to be unruly.”

"But it's different now. There are a lot of so-called sneaky people on the street. They are called that because most of them are children. They eavesdrop on other people's conversations and then run to inform them and get rewards. Many of these children are just that. The descendants of noble families are disguised as common people. For them, the reward is not important because they are not hungry. What is important is that they will be praised."

Zhang Bai felt his heart pounding when he heard that. Although he was not afraid of these people, he still couldn't help but panic, so he pretended to be angry and said, "You suspect that I am a child who snitched? So that's why those two guys beat me just now?"

"Aren't you? I've been observing you. Speaking of which, you are indeed different from other sneaky people. For example, you are not afraid of getting dirty and tired, lying at the gate of the city for a day, and you know what it feels like to be hungry. Moreover, Those two stupid boys just hit you like that, but they didn't seem to hurt you at all.

But there are similarities. For example, if you don’t eat our food, it’s not because you’re not hungry. In fact, you’re afraid that our food will be poisonous or unpalatable, right?Also, I saw the beautiful clothes under your coat. "Daddy Sauter said with a smile, "Don't you explain it? "

"It's completely exposed!" Zhang Bai knew in his heart, but he couldn't panic. What he needed to think about now was a way to escape. Killing and fighting was not the effect he wanted, because it might alert the guards and Taoist Shilong.

The old beggar in front of him can be used. Judging from his identity, he looks like an elder of the beggar gang, and the people around him are very convinced of him.As long as you convince this old man, you should be able to change the situation.

Thinking of this, Zhang Bai was no longer embarrassed. He raised his head and smiled, looking at Mr. Sauter and saying: "The old man is a sensible person. To you, I am certainly not a sneaky person, because I don't need to There is no need for praise in exchange for money. With my skills, I am not afraid of those two stupid boys, but I am indeed not a beggar. I am just a foreigner who has a close relationship with Peshawar."
