Jin Tao has been holding back on the boat for so many days, and today she finally has something to play.

The second brother said: "Qingzhou seems to really attach great importance to this event. The scale of this parade is really not small."

Indeed, there is a long line of performances on the street, including drumming, lion dance, juggling, dancing... There are also many children running and jumping happily behind the line.

An unknown person next to him, who may be a local, said very proudly: "Of course, our county magistrate always attaches great importance to farming and praying every year, and every year we can have good weather. It would be even better if there is spring rain after the blessing. gone."

"Looking at the weather, it might rain soon."

"Spring rain is as expensive as oil, let it go! Let it go!" The man looked up at the sky, "It means that God will bless us with a good harvest and a surplus of food for the family."

"Uncle, please do me a favor, give us a copper coin or two?"

At this time, two little beggars who ran over from nowhere stood begging next to the uncle just now.

One is older, about eight or nine years old, and the other is younger, who looks only three or four years old. Both children are dressed in tatters, and even the shoes on their feet have leaking toes, and they are shivering from the cold.

The uncle chased them away in extreme disgust: "No money, go quickly."

Then he muttered: "Where are so many little beggars suddenly coming? They have been asking for money on the street every day for the past two days."

Jintao's heart skipped a beat: Suddenly?

The two little beggars didn't ask for any money, but turned around and saw Jintao and the others, seeing that they were well dressed, they stepped forward: "Big brothers and sisters, please do me a favor and give us a coin or two." Just fine."

Jintao knelt down and said kindly: "Are you hungry? Why don't big sister invite you to dinner?"

The younger one's eyes lit up when he heard that he could eat, but he only dared to look at them timidly, not daring to speak.

The older one hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "We are not hungry, big sister can give us some money, our mother is the only one in our family, she is sick and can't get out of bed, we have to buy medicine for mother."

He said the above words in a slightly blunt tone, as if he had memorized them in advance.

"Really?" Jin Tao pointed to the second brother, "This elder brother is very skilled in medicine, do you want this elder brother to go home with you to see your mother?"

The second elder brother nodded: "Yes, I'll go over and have a look and make sure your mother is cured of her illness."

"No, thank you." The older children pulled the younger one along to leave after hearing what they said.

"No, sister, I'm hungry." The younger one cried and refused to leave.

"Wait a minute." Xie Wu stopped them again and patted the heads of the two of them, "Well, let's take you two to eat first, and then give you a tael of silver after the meal, so that you can eat enough again. How about money to buy medicine for mother?"

"Okay." The older child thought for a while, then looked around vigilantly and finally nodded and agreed, "It's agreed that you will give us a tael later."

With this tael of silver, they can live well for two days.

Jintao took out a tael of silver and deliberately weighed it in her hand: "You guys will be indispensable at that time."

Xie Wu, Jintao and the second brother sat opposite the two beggars, watching them gobble up food.

Under the temptation of delicious food, the older children finally showed some innocence that children should have.

"What's your name?" Jin Tao took the opportunity to ask.

"My name is Xiaohua." The older child said while eating, "Her name is Xiaoduo."

Jintao nodded: "Your names are pretty nice."

Xiao Hua asked, "Then what is the name of the eldest sister?"

"My name is Xiaotao, and we are all from the 'Xiao' generation."

Xiaohua laughed when she heard it, her two big eyes were very beautiful.

Originally, they were at the same age as flowers, but they didn't have enough to eat, didn't wear warm clothes, and begged along the street.

Xie Wu said from the side: "Do you have any other friends? Call me over here, Big Brother will treat you to dinner."

"Can you?" Xiao Hua asked uncertainly.

"Of course." Jintao said, pointing to the second brother again, "Your big brother is very rich, the most important thing is that he is very good at kung fu, one punch can kill a cow."

"Hey..." The second brother raised his fist as if trying to get the golden peach, "Is there any brother you say that about yourself?"

Jin Tao smiled and hid behind Xie Wu: "I'm just making an analogy, don't take it seriously."

Xiao Hua looked envious: "You must all be very good, right?"

Xie impatiently said, "If you have any questions, you can tell us, we will definitely help you."

"But, they are all fierce." Xiao Hua finally made up her mind and decided to trust the three older brothers and sisters in front of her, "I'm afraid you won't be able to beat them."

"No, don't worry."

It was night, and it was drizzling outside.

After praying today, it really started to rain, and many people clasped their hands together happily: "God bless you!"

At this time, in a small yard, there were more than a dozen or twenty children, all of whom were small girls, waiting to take turns entering the room to hand in their results for the day.

There were several strong thugs standing under the eaves, staring fiercely at the children in the courtyard.

Xiaohua pulled Xiaoduo into the room, and handed over a tael of silver with trembling hands. The eyes of the aunt who received the money lit up, and she picked it up and carefully looked at it under the lamp: "You guys did a good job today, I'll give you one more sesame seed cake."

Another mother-in-law in the room gave Xiao Hua three sesame seed cakes, and Xiao Hua whispered, "Thank you mother-in-law."

The mother-in-law of the fever cake looked at the money bag and said: "It seems that we should go wherever the excitement is. Today we have a lot of harvest."

"Wait a minute." The mother-in-law who collected the money stopped Xiaohua and the two, and asked, "Who gave you this money?"

Xiaohua stammered, apparently terrified: "Given to me by a very expensive big sister."

"Is she alone on the street?"

"There is a servant girl next to her."

The mother-in-law at the cash register smiled: "You guys are really lucky today, you must have met a young lady who doesn't go out often, that's why you made such a big deal."

After finishing speaking, he waved Xiaohua and the others to go out, "Go to the place you went to today tomorrow, see if you can still meet that young lady, and then ask her!"

Xiaohua responded: "Okay, mother-in-law."

After speaking, he took Xiaoduo out and went back to where they lived. They said it was the place where they lived, but in fact it was a floor on the floor, and many people crowded together.

They often change places every few days, so it is impossible to have a decent bed.

Xiaohua secretly hid two pancakes, and then she and Xiaoduo shared half of them.

Their task was completed today, but when she came back, she saw that some people still returned empty-handed, and she might not be able to escape another severe beating tonight.

"Sister, I'm afraid." Xiaoduo said softly.

Xiaohua hugged Xiaoduo and patted her on the back: "Don't be afraid, we will escape soon."
