Chapter 7

Chen Gong was stunned for a while before he realized, "You brought this back?"

Shen Qiao nodded: "Didn't you ask me to bring three donkey sandwiches back?"

Chen Gong noticed that the other party's clothes were replaced by a new set of blue robes. The original gray robe was removed by him and used as a quilt to spread under his body. He was still so clean and tidy, he might not know where he was bathing. Cleaned up.

"Where did you earn the money?" Chen Gong was suspicious.

Shen Qiao smiled and said, "Of course it's the right way. Looking at me like this, is it possible that I can still steal and rob?"

Chen Gong snorted: "Who knows!"

Having said that, he still picked up a pancake, the tentacles were warm and soft, and it could be seen that it was just out of the oven. He opened the paper package and took a bite. , Jiaoxiang overflowing.

Chen Gong was so greedy that he ate two in one go, and he didn't want to eat the remaining one. After thinking about it, he planned to save it for breakfast tomorrow. After eating, he just went to work.

He turned his head to look at Shen Qiao, who was still sitting there cross-legged, holding the bamboo stick in his hand, his eyes slightly closed, and he didn't know if he was closing his eyes or thinking about something.

"Hey, where are you from?"

Shen Qiao shook his head: "I don't know, I fell on the road, my head broke, and I forgot a lot of things."

"If you don't say it, don't say it. What excuses are you making up? Are you a good deceiver?" Chen Gong disapproved, and immediately lost interest in talking, and lay down directly.

In the end, I didn't know if it was because of the food, and I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning. Chen Gong couldn't help but opened the chat box again: "Hey, what did you do during the day, and how did you get money?"

A soft voice came from the other end: "Fortune-telling by touching the bones."

Chen Gongsheng sat up and faced him: "You know how to tell your fortune by touching your bones?"

Shen Qiao still sat there cross-legged and said with a smile, "Actually, it doesn't count. Whether a person is rich or poor, you can always see some clues from the palm of your hand.

Chen Gong became interested: "Then you can also show me, will I have a rich life in the future?"

Shen Qiao: "I'll see your hand."

Chen Gong stretched out his hands, and Shen Qiao rubbed his hands for a moment: "You are used to carrying heavy objects on weekdays. Should you be working in a rice shop or a wharf?"

"What else?" Chen Gong is not stupid, knowing that he has thick calluses on his hands, the other party must have judged from the calluses.

"You are stubborn, strong and unwilling to admit defeat, and a little suspicious. You must have fallen out with your family at a young age, and there should be a stepfather or stepmother in the family."

Chen Gong couldn't help widening his eyes: "What else?"

Shen Qiao said with a smile: "In today's troubled times, there is something to do. With your temperament, if you go to join the army, you might be able to do something in the future."

Chen Gong: "How did you see this?"

Shen Qiao: "Your accent is a local accent, so it's impossible for you to escape from other places. The locals usually have a house, unless something goes wrong in your family. In terms of your temperament, it's more like what I said. That way, you will fall out with your family. But even if you have a falling out with your family, if your parents are there, you won't be able to sit and watch the wind and rain outside, so it should be your father who married a harsh stepmother. , or the premature death of both parents in the family.”

Chen Gong was finally a little convinced when he said this one after another.

Chen Gong: "Then why do you know that I will be successful in joining the army?"

Shen Qiao: "You don't want to be angry with your stepmother, so you left home in anger, preferring to live here, and last night, you fought a beggar for donkey meat pie. It can be seen that he is ruthless to others, but also willing to be ruthless to himself. His temperament should be able to adapt to the military environment."

Chen Gong snorted coldly: "In the end, you look down on people like me, you can't even eat a full meal, and you have to rob your things, and go around a lot, just to laugh at me!"

Shen Qiao said with a smile: "I'm so down on myself, how can I have the right to laugh at others? Didn't you just ask me how I can tell my fortune by touching my bones? I'm just explaining it to you by taking you as an example, is it quite accurate? Yes? Although you can't make a lot of money, you can still earn a meal."

Chen Gong: "Since you say it so nicely, and you seem to understand everything, why are you still so down and out? Could it be that you were robbed by bandits on the way?"

Shen Qiao: "Forget it, I don't remember it myself, my brain is bright for a while, but not for a while, many things are blurry, thanks to you for letting me stay, otherwise I really don't know where to spend the night in the past two days, I Thank you so much!"

With this tall hat on, Chen Gong felt much more comfortable. He also took the three donkey meat sandwiches as a matter of course, as if he really protected Shen Qiao.

"Then what, there are still three biscuits tomorrow, don't think that you can get away with talking so much to me!"

"it is good."

When Chen Gong returned to the ruined temple the next evening, there were still three donkey meat sandwiches in his place, and Shen Qiao was eating one in his hand. The sandwich is like eating some delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Pretend! Chen Gong, who was at his rebellious age, inevitably snorted again, turned his head to open the paper bag, and bit down hard.

When Chen Gong came back the next evening, he still kept the three sandwiches there as usual. He was not polite, he just brought them up and ate them. Although Shen Qiao always answered questions and had a good temper, Chen Gong always felt that he was out of tune with him. Do not speculate. I couldn't understand the other party's words, and his viciousness and domineering didn't work for Shen Qiao. He punched cotton. It was him who showed off his prestige, and he was the one who was aggrieved in the end.

He intuited that Shen Qiao was not a simple person, not only because the other party always kept neat and clean clothes, his appearance was as weak as a scholar, and there was a feeling that was incomprehensible.

Obviously everyone has to live in this ruined temple, but in front of him, he still looks like a lower class.

Chen Gong didn't like this feeling, so he didn't like Shen Qiao either.

There is air everywhere here, and it is terribly cold at night. Apart from the two big living people, it is estimated that there are the most mice. The shoes are broken, and the toes seem to have been bitten. , simply curled up his body tighter.

In addition to the whistling wind, there seemed to be footsteps coming from outside.

But on this damn windy day, who would come to such a broken place?

Chen Gong was about to fall asleep in a daze, when he suddenly heard Shen Qiao say, "Someone is coming outside."

When he opened his eyes, he saw a few figures sneaking in, holding sticks in their hands. The two people at the head were familiar with each other, and they looked at the two beggars who had been beaten away by him that day.

Chen Gong was jolted, and he was more than half awake immediately, and quickly got up: "What do you want to do!"

One of them said with a smile, "Chen Dalang, Chen Dalang, weren't you very majestic that day? You even kicked us out. Today, we called the brothers from the beggar gang in this city. Let's see if you dare to be arrogant!"

Chen Gong pouted: "What kind of beggar gang, a group of beggars are mixed together, and they are too embarrassed to call it a beggar gang?!"

The other party said angrily: "You will be stubborn when you die, don't beg for mercy later, brothers, it is this guy who has occupied our territory, oh, there is a newcomer next to him, he has money on him, and I will take it together later. Come on, what I found is just right for the brothers to drink!"

Chen Gong looks like a poor man. Even if he has money, he can buy a few buns at most. The other one is different. The clothes are clean and tidy. Just taking off the clothes, it is estimated that they can be sold for dozens of yuan. stop?

Five or six figures rushed towards Chen Gong in unison. The latter was full of brute force. After all, he was only a teenager, and he couldn't be said to be sturdy. On the contrary, he was severely beaten several times on his body and face. Although the other party didn't want his life, he beat him hard. The corners of Chen Gong's mouth were broken. kicked.

The beggars searched Chen Gong's body, and in the end they found only 30 pennies, and one of them pouted, "It's really bad luck, a poor ghost, Lai Da, didn't you say that he has at least 50 pennies on him? !"

Lai Da smiled apologetically: "Maybe he spent all of it, no, there's another one over there?"

Everyone turned their attention to Shen Qiao again and saw that he was always sitting there quietly, as if completely frightened, holding a bamboo stick and not moving.

One person is suspicious: "Why do I look at his eyes a little wrong, don't be a blind man?"

Taking advantage of the crowd, Lai Da shouted to Shen Qiao: "Hey, hand over your money, grandpas spare you from beating, did you hear me!"

Shen Qiao shook his head: "The money on me is all hard earned by myself, I can't give it to you."

Lai Da sneered: "Yo, you have a lot of backbone! That's ok, just cover it up. You didn't even give me a donkey pie two days ago. Today, the grandfathers want you to lose money and see blood!"

Several people rushed up together and treated Shen Qiao like Chen Gong.

They didn't take this weak scribe in their eyes at all.

Lai Da moved the fastest, one punch had already hit Shen Qiao's face, and the other hand was going to grab the other side's shirt.

Judging from the posture, the fist should reach first, and then the opponent leaned back, and he just pounced on the mount and mounted on the opponent.

My wrist suddenly hurts!

Da Lai couldn't help but let out a ouch, and he didn't understand what was going on. He slammed on his waist again, and the whole person involuntarily swayed to the side, knocking down the companion next to him, and the two collided immediately.

There are no candles in the broken temple, and on a windy night, the moon is looming, sometimes obscured by clouds.

Everyone didn't see how Lai Da fell, so they didn't stop and still rushed towards Shen Qiao.

However, one after another, a few more people fell to the ground.

"What kind of sorcery are you using!" Lai didn't give up and shouted, getting up and continuing to pounce on the opponent.

Shen Qiao's eyes recovered very slowly. When the light was dim at night, he could only see a vague shadow. If he was not careful, he was pushed to the ground by Lai Da and punched in the chest, causing him to gasp in pain. .

When Lai Da succeeded, he was about to grab the bamboo stick in his hand. Unexpectedly, his waist was numb, and the opponent's bamboo stick poked over. It seemed normal, but he couldn't grasp it when he reached out. , He was screaming in pain, and he couldn't care about anything else. He covered his nose and fell to the side, and then a nosebleed came out from his fingers.

No one could have expected such a development, and Chen Gong was even more stunned. He saw Shen Qiao alone hitting the east and west with a bamboo stick, seemingly out of order, but the beggars couldn't get close at all. Instead, his body was quickly beaten to pieces, screaming everywhere.

Shen Qiao: "I've already shown mercy. If you don't leave, do you want to wait for me to pierce your eyeballs and become blind like me?"

His voice was light and airy, mixed with the sound of the wind, like a ghost, which was especially frightening.

How dare Lai Da and the others stay longer, they hurriedly got up and ran away, this time they didn't even dare to let go of their harsh words, they were shit and no one was seen in an instant.

"You should poke their eyes out!" Chen Gong said bitterly, "Why are you being polite to this kind of person!"

Shen Qiao leaned on the bamboo stick and didn't speak, and his shoulders were vaguely undulating, as if he was panting slightly.

It was only then that Chen Gong realized that the other party could even beat the beggars away, and that was no problem for him, but he had yelled at him before, but it was a blessing that the other party didn't care about him, otherwise...

He was a little scared, and his tone became polite: "Hey, that, Shen Qiao? Shen Langjun? Senior Shen?"

The voice fell, and the other party suddenly slid down the pillar behind him and fell to the ground softly.

Chen Gong: "..."
