Chapter 187 Beggars
"Brother, sister, although this is inland, unlike Hong Kong Island where eight out of ten ghosts are here, but this is a provincial capital and a treaty port, and almost all the ghosts from the inland are here. How do you want me to find it?”
Although Xiao Zhang was sitting on a chair, he wanted to grow two more legs on his body and run away quickly.
He only accepted the money for one trip, and he came to the provincial capital just to eat and drink. Who would have thought that he would have to do something after coming here, and it was an extremely difficult thing to do.
It's really a wrong step, a wrong step, the people in the rivers and lakes are like pawns crossing the river, and the road to the rivers and lakes is the road of no return.
When the superiors ask you to do something, they only care about when you can do it and when you will achieve it after giving the order. As for the difficulties and twists and turns of the road, they don't care.
If you can't complete the task, a scolding or a beating is considered light. If you rise to Kaixiangtang, three swords and six holes, half of your life will be lost.
And those eldest brothers, bosses, fit guys, hall masters, all of them dressed up as ordinary people look like dogs, and they seem to be very loyal.
As a result, when it came time to draw the lottery of life and death, it was not just the small ones like them who went up to draw the lottery and could get a settlement allowance and run away, most of the time there were corpses left on the streets and no one collected them!
When he thought of this, he felt another kind of indignation towards the evil society system.
When Xiao Zhang was grimacing, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a beggar walking by the window, and his face immediately lit up with joy.
Seeing that Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu were puzzled, he had no time to explain, so he just said in a hurry: "Brother, sister, you guys, wait a moment, I will be back soon."
Seeing him running in such a hurry, Yin Xiu couldn't help but said: "Isn't he feeling unsure and running away?"
Ma Xiaoyu glanced at him and said, "Your people, you ask me?"
Yin Xiu curled her lips and craned her neck to take a look, only to see Xiao Zhang talking to a beggar and handing over a few more banknotes.
Then he walked back with a smile on his face, and even his steps became much easier.
"Why, are you doing one good deed every day to accumulate some bad virtue for yourself?"
"Hey, how can people like us have such good moral character?"
He suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Brother, don't look at these people as if they are just beggars. After sitting there with a bowl, they just sleep in the sun. It's not that simple!"
"Oh? You mean there's a secret to this?" Ma Xiaoyu also became curious.
"Yes! There are many ways to do it!"
Xiao Zhang pulled up a chair, sat on it, and whispered: "Do you think these beggars just find a place and put down their bowls? They all have their own territory!
There are rules for a few beggars begging on a street, where they go, when they go to work and when they get off work, and someone is watching.
There is no one to maintain order and set rules. To put it mildly, fights are inevitable every day. You take my job, and I will tear down your nest. On a larger scale, it is vicious competition in the industry, peers harm each other, and everyone will not be able to make a living in the end.
And looking at them, these people who make the rules, those who don’t know the rules call them old beggars, like us, we all call them beggar gang elders! ”
Ma Xiaoyu couldn't help but take a breath. This was the first time she heard that beggars were also organized and established. Isn't this much better than some associations and prefixes like stragglers?
Yin Xiu has never heard of this. Although in urban legends, there are some homeless people. If you give him a few money, he can help you do things and find information. But just looking for a beggar can contact the entire beggar gang's intelligence network. , is a bit exaggerated.
Seeing that Yin Xiu was a little skeptical, Xiao Zhang didn't argue much.
He just slowly took the teapot, added another cup of hot tea to the two of them, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, there will be news before midnight."
Seemingly very motivated, he added: "You two have a sip of tea and some midnight snacks first. I'll wait at the door and come back to let you know as soon as I have any news." After that, he ran out again.
Seeing him like this, Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu couldn't say anything else. Anyway, if they had any actions or plans at the moment, it would be tomorrow, so it wouldn't hurt to wait for a while.
Seeing that she had free time, Yin Xiu pulled the stool closer to Ma Xiaoyu, causing the latter to lean back a little.
Yin Xiu didn't move any further, just raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why don't you ask me why I'm interested in that vampire?"
Ma Xiaoyu said coldly: "It is the duty of a Taoist priest to subjugate demons and eliminate demons. If a Taoist priest watches the demons raging and zombies running rampant, but allows them to poison the world outside, then he is not a Taoist priest and has gone into the wrong profession. Learned the wrong skill!”
Yin Xiu nodded, what she said made sense.
Otherwise, if there had been zombies in Hong Kong Island before, he and Uncle Ming would not have stayed up for many nights, looking for traces of zombies in various alleys and streets.
People always have to have their own perseverance. It would be very uncomfortable if you have to assess the situation first and retreat far away if you feel it is unavoidable.
After a pause, Yin Xiu spoke again.
"Since you have nothing to ask me, let me ask you."
Ma Xiaoyu glanced at him and said, "I may not answer."
"I know." Yin Xiu nodded, "I want to ask, have you joined Heli Sheng?"
Ma Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then gave him a look that looked crazy, and said: "I am a Taoist priest just like you. Only those Feng Shui masters have always been able to tell fortunes for this big boss and that faucet. When have you ever seen a Taoist priest join a society? Do you think you have a long life?”
"That's true." Yin Xiu scratched his head in distress, but hesitated to speak.
"What exactly do you want to ask?" Ma Xiaoyu asked impatiently.
After thinking for a while, Yin Xiu said, "Then if you help Thirteen to deal with me, you are meddling in the society's affairs, right? After all, they are going to have an internal election now, and several candidates are recruiting troops and preparing for a fight."< br>
"As a Taoist priest, I care about who is the boss of their society and what they do? Even if I have some friendship with the Thirteenth Sister, I can't interfere, but..."
This time it was Ma Xiaoyu's turn to speak but stopped.
"Speak, don't hesitate, I'm not asking you for your lottery number."
After thinking for a while, she looked at Yin Xiu, and said with some confusion and fear: "I heard Shisan tell you some stories about you, so I was persuaded by her to make a special trip to see you."< br>
"My deeds?"
Yin Xiu leaned on the table, opened his hands, and crossed his legs. "What deeds? Do you mean that I beat a hundred people by myself, or that I passed five levels in the Kowloon boxing ring, or that I killed the devil?"
"None of them..."
After much hesitation and stroking the goosebumps on her hands, Ma Xiaoyu said: "She told me that you are a perverted nymphomaniac. From a pregnant woman to an eighty-year-old lady, you have done everything..."
