The Regent's Tender Darling

"Sit." Little Loach wiped the bench with his sleeve and brought it to Xuemei.

Xuemei sat down, took out a one-hundred-tael silver note from her sleeve, placed it on the table, and said, "My master asked me to ask you who is behind those beggars and what their origins are. You told me, these The money is yours."

Seeing that the little loach was stunned, Xuemei rolled her eyes slightly, and then said: "Don't worry, my master is the most trustworthy and will not cause trouble for you."

The word "keep one's word" was a bit harsh to Little Loach. He didn't look at the banknotes on the table, but just looked at Xuemei's profile.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that what Xuemei was wearing was the hairpin he had given her, and only the hairpin he had given her.

At this moment, he decided to tell Xuemei everything he knew, not for the one hundred taels, but just to prevent Xuemei from being embarrassed.

If Xuemei doesn't ask anything from him, I'm afraid Xuemei will be punished when she goes back.

Then he said: "Our origins must start seven years ago."

"You guys?" Xuemei looked sideways at Little Loach, as if she didn't understand what Little Loach meant.

Just listen to the little loach talk to her: "Seven years ago, we were beggars in Lin'an..."

seven years ago.

A severe cold is coming, and the ruined temple in Lin'an cannot stop the wind mixed with snowflakes, and the fire that is finally lit can only feel a little warmth.

A group of beggars gathered together in a relatively intact house. The window had a big hole, and they blocked it with rocks and mud, but the wind still blew in through the gap.

This group of beggars had been too cold to go out these past two days, and there was not much food left from the food they had begged for in the past few days. The little loach sat in front of an old beggar.

At ten years old, he is thin and small. The old beggar next to him is also as skinny as a stick. It is obviously caused by not having enough food for a long time. But the little loach is better. The old beggar who has enough to eat will take care of him first.

They were sitting a little far away from the fire, so it was even colder. He sniffed and slowly leaned against the old beggar.

"Is it cold?" The old beggar glanced at him, his eyes were so fierce that it made him feel scared.

He was picked up by the old beggar four years ago, when he was only six years old. In all these years, he has never called the old beggar daddy because the old beggar didn't let him do so.

He only knew that the old beggar was the old beggar, and he did not know his name.

Facing the old beggar's question, he nodded timidly.

The old beggar snorted in disgust, but did not stop him from approaching. The old beggar always disliked him and always said, "I didn't have enough to eat myself and I picked you up, you little bastard."

The old beggar gave him the name Little Loach. The old beggar said he wanted him to be like a loach.

In fact, such a life can be lived. Although I am hungry every three days, at least I will not starve to death.

But the good times didn't last long. A group of gangsters came to Lin'an. There were seven or eight of them. To them, everyone was as strong as an ox. They were all in peace. But one day, this group of gangsters focused on beggars like them.

That group of gangsters called themselves Tianba, and the leader was called Dao Scar. That man really had a long scar on his face, and he looked extremely cautious.

These people will take away the money they ask for, and if they don't want to, they will be beaten.

With the physique of these people, they couldn't beat a group of beggars together. They could only watch helplessly as the coins in the bowl were snatched away.

Later, when they saw this group of people, they all took a detour. Half a month later, this group of people began to arrest their people, broke the legs of some of their beggars, and forced the beggars to drag their disabled bodies to the streets to beg.
