Chapter 429 Becoming a Beggar
Early the next morning.
When Gu Chan got up, Wan Peng and Wan Feiyan were already wandering around Jiangnan City.
Gu Chan didn't pay much attention to them. After breakfast, she put on her beggar's clothes, slipped out quietly through the back door of Wanyuanfang, and continued to work as a beggar on East Street.
Since Ma Zheng left, the cross talk was impossible, so Gu Chan could only stand on the street alone and play allegro.
As for her playing allegro alone, it was not as effective as yesterday's show where two people talked about cross talk. By noon, she had only earned a total of about fifty copper coins.
This also made her feel quite helpless.
At this time, the mangy dog came over, sat next to her and said, "Where is your little friend? Why is he missing?"
"He was taken away last night, and so did I. I don’t know who caught him, but the man came in with his face covered and beat us up. He said he was stronger and took him away. He didn’t arrest me because he thought I was too thin.” Gu Chan pretended. He said with an aggrieved look.
“Damn it, you came to my territory to rob someone, right? Don’t be afraid, I’ll send people to check and find out who arrested him. When the time comes, I will definitely help you arrest the person. Get it back," the mangy dog said angrily.
His first reaction was that other beggar gangs came over to arrest people. After all, the cross talk show performed by Gu Chan and Ma Zheng yesterday was very attractive and the money they received was high.
In this case, it is reasonable for other beggar gangs to want to capture Ma Zheng and use him as a cash cow.
Gu Chan nodded and said, "Okay, please help me."
"Wipe your tears and pay your share for today. I will take you to see our gang leader later. "The mangy dog urged.
Gu Chan quickly counted ten copper coins and handed them to him and said, "Five copper coins are part money, and the other five are to honor your old man."
"You brat, you're really on the road, let's go!" The mangy dog smiled with satisfaction, reached out and patted Gu Chan on the shoulder.
After saying that, he stood up and left first.
Gu Chan collected the remaining copper plates in the bowl and put them away, then followed him and left with the bowl in hand.
Half an hour later.
The two came to a ruined temple in the west of the city.
At this time, a group of beggars were sitting around the ruined temple, waiting to make offerings to an old beggar sitting in the front.
This old beggar looks to be in his seventies. He is wearing rags, has white hair, and has a slender body. At first glance, it feels like he is about to die. .
But in fact, the spiritual energy in his body is very powerful, and the energy and spirit of his whole person are also very strong. He is by no means as weak as he looks on the surface.
Behind the old beggar, there stood a shiny Buddha statue, which was in sharp contrast to him.
Gu Chan followed the mangy dog and sat on the right side of the ruined temple and waited quietly.
Seeing all the beggars coming up one by one to make offerings and then leaving in a hurry, she couldn't help but whisper in the mangy dog's ear, "Is he the leader of our gang?"
"Yes, the beggars in Jiangnan City have returned. He is in charge. All us beggars have to make offerings to him every day. Accordingly, he provides us with protection. Don’t look at him looking like he is about to die, but in fact he is very powerful. Other beggar gang leaders They are all afraid of him and hope that he will die soon!" the mangy dog explained in a low voice.
Gu Chan nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
While the two were talking, the last beggar finished his offering and left. Only Gu Chan and the mangy dog were left in the huge ruined temple, still sitting there. The mangy dog quickly reached out and pulled Gu Chan up to the old beggar and sat down cross-legged.
Then he took out a bag of copper coins and handed it to the old beggar and said, "Gang leader, this is the payment for our East Street this month. Please accept it."
"Yes!" The old beggar responded lightly, He took the bag of copper coins and put them next to him.
The mangy dog said again, "Gang leader, this is what I told you before. One of the two children suddenly went to East Street to beg. I originally planned to observe them for half a month, but this They have been doing very well in the past two days, so I plan to bring him here in advance and ask you to register him as a beggar." "Isn't there two of them? Why is there only one of them?" asked the old beggar.
"Another child was robbed last night. I don't know if another beggar gang outside the city came to rob him. I haven't sent anyone to investigate yet." Mangy Dog explained.
The old beggar frowned and shouted coldly, "Go and check quickly. I want to see which beggar gang dares to come to my territory to rob people."
"Yes, gang leader." The mangy dog said respectfully.
The old beggar ignored him, turned to Gu Chan and stretched out his hand and said, "Come on, little one, give me your hand."
"Okay, Gang Leader." Gu Chan was obedient. explain.
After saying that, she stretched out her right hand and put it into the old beggar's hand.
"Buzz!"
But the moment the two people's hands touched together, the spiritual energy in their bodies secretly collided, causing a slight buzzing sound to suddenly sound between their palms.
The old beggar immediately raised his eyes and glared at Gu Chan, his face changed drastically.
The mangy dog looked puzzled and said, "Gang leader, what is this noise?"
"Go out and wait outside. I have something to say to him alone. You can't let him go without my permission. Anyone come in to disturb me," the old beggar said coldly.
The mangy dog nodded in agreement, quickly got up and left, waiting at the gate of the ruined temple.
After he left, the old beggar glared at Gu Chan and said, "Little one, you want to deceive me, old beggar with nine fingers. You are still a bit immature. Tell me! Who are you? Why do you act like this? How to break into our Beggar Clan?”
“Old Clan Leader, you are really not easy! I can’t see through it at all. It seems that your physical strength is far superior to mine. No wonder the other Clan Leaders They are all so afraid of you." Gu Chan said without fear.
The nine-fingered old beggar grinned, let go of Gu Chan's little hand, shook his head and said, "You go! I won't embarrass you anymore. Our beggar gang only wants to make a living and doesn't want to be with anyone else. If there is any dispute between forces, you and I will just pretend that it never happened."
"No! I want to join the Beggar Clan just to hear things that others can't hear. You chase me away. You can’t leave,” Gu Chan said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" the nine-fingered old beggar asked doubtfully.
Gu Chan did not hide anything and said directly, "Old gang leader, let me tell you the truth, I am from the Ninth Prince. This time I came to the Jiangnan area mainly to help him raise border relief funds. In exchange for To put it simply, I came here to make money this time. Before I could stand firm, I naturally had to find out the truest details here. "
" I see, then I understand, you are not a bad person, and we will have more to talk about next," the nine-fingered old beggar said with peace of mind.
What he was worried about just now was that Gu Chan was sent by other forces to cause trouble in order to eradicate their beggar gang, but judging from the current situation, he was indeed overthinking.
Gu Chan's background was much bigger than he imagined, and he was not mainly here for them, so he could naturally feel at ease.
