Zeng Fan was huddled in the corner. If anyone who knew him saw him at this moment, they would not recognize him. There was a porcelain bowl in front of him. It was not big, but the porcelain surface had fallen off a lot. There were some inside.

Small change. Zeng Fan's hair was messy and looked full of dirt. His clothes were tattered, dirty, and stained with oil. His face was as dark as a pot smoke, and he only had one pair of eyes.

Still shining brightly.

He was carrying a small bag, a military satchel that was extremely broken, and the "Book of Prophecy" was in this small bag. Originally, Zeng Fan wanted to leave Shanghai, but he found that many police were also looking for him.

In particular, police officers can be seen at stations and docks. He can only stay, but if he wants to stay, he has to face survival. What can he do? He can't do anything, and finally he decides to be a little beggar.

He thought that no one would think that he would become a little beggar. It would be much safer to hide himself with such an identity. It was very rare for a child to think of these things. In fact, his original intention of doing this was not to bring danger and misfortune to himself.

To his mother, of course, if he knew that his father was resurrected, if he knew that so many people who care about him and love him are worried about him and looking for him, maybe he would not want to give himself to his mother.

Hidden.

In addition, Liu Jiangping was also wrong. He always thought that Zeng Fan would be active near the Nanqing Elevated Highway, because he treated Zeng Fan with the mentality of an ordinary child. Liu Jiangping was not the only one who had such a mentality, even those who wanted to

To seize the "Book of Prophecy" from Zeng Fan's hands

People have also made this mistake. They were misled by Liu Jiangping. Liu Jiangping's people have been searching the place where the palm was. Naturally, they took it for granted. If Liu Jiangping was not so sure, he would not take it.

His people were concentrated in the Nanqing area.

None of them knew that Zeng Fan was already in a small town on the outskirts of Shanghai, more than 60 kilometers away.

"Boy, who asked you to beg here?" The two eldest children came to Zeng Fan. Judging from their attire, they were probably "travelling". Although this was just a small town on the outskirts of the city, it was better than Zeng Fan's.

Every county where he originally stayed was bigger. After all, Shanghai is a big city in China and an international metropolis in Asia. Zeng Fan looked at the two beggars who were not much older than him coldly: "I can be wherever I like."

, can you take care of it?"

One of the children said: "Are you new here? Do you know whose territory this is?" Zeng Fan shook his head. He really didn't know that there are so many things to pay attention to when being a beggar? The child said again: "This

This is Mr. Tan’s territory. We are all Mr. Tan’s people. If you cross the line like this, you must give us a

Can you please explain?" Zeng Fan said calmly: "I don't know what Mr. Tan, I'm hungry, I want to eat, so..." Another child said impatiently: "Brother Hu Zi, why is he so wordy?

Why don't we just drive him away!" After saying that, he lowered his body and prepared to grab the money in Zeng Fan's small porcelain bowl.

That was Zeng Fan's meal money for a day. Zeng Fan suddenly jumped up and stopped in front of the child: "What are you doing?" The child glared at him: "Get out of the way!" Zeng Fan clenched his fists with both hands.

Staring angrily, the tiger brother frowned: "Boy, I can't tell you are so bold, who are you messing with!" Zeng Fan hugged his porcelain bowl, snorted coldly and prepared to leave.

Another child grabbed his arm: "You are deaf, Brother Huzi is talking to you!" Zeng Fan said: "If you don't let me beg here, I will just change it." Brother Huzi smiled.

"I didn't realize it, but you have quite a personality!" Zeng Fan was about to leave when Brother Hu Zi said, "Actually, it's not impossible for you to hang out here. Let's do this. I'll take you to see Mr. Tan. After paying homage to the dock,

If anything happens on this land, there will still be people to take care of it.”

Zeng Fan narrowed his eyes. He was thinking in his heart that he didn't know where to go if he really wanted to leave here. He bit his lip and nodded, but another child said: "Brother Huzi, we have enough people."

Too many!" Brother Hu Zi said: "Forget it, it's not easy. This little brother wouldn't have taken this step if he hadn't been forced by life." Zeng Fan was a little moved after hearing what Brother Hu Zi said. Brother Hu Zi said

She hugged his shoulders: "Let's go, I'll take you to see Mr. Tan!"

On the way, Brother Huzi explained Master Tan's rules. In fact, Master Tan's rules are not complicated. That is, each of his beggars has his own niche, and no one can step on other people's boundaries. The other thing is

One-third of the daily income must be handed over to Mr. Tan.

Brother Huzi said: "It is said to be one-third, but there is a limit, at least twenty yuan a day!" Zeng Fan frowned: "Twenty yuan? What if you can't get twenty yuan a day?

?" Another child smiled disdainfully: "Look at your future, don't ask for help, you just sit there and don't move for a day, it's more than 20 yuan." Brother Huzi

Said: "Actually, as long as you pretend to be pitiful, one hundred yuan a day is no problem at all. Don't underestimate our profession. We are literary beggars, and there are also martial beggars. The income of martial beggars is higher, but

That requires some skills. Have you ever seen those children playing juggling? That is Wu Qi, who relies on his skills to gain sympathy."

Zeng Fan nodded slightly. Brother Huzi pointed at his companion and said: "He is my good brother Fatty. By the way, little brother, what is your name?" Zeng Fan thought and said softly: "I

My name is Wen Ning!" Brother Huzi smiled: "Then I

Let’s call you Ning Zi, Fat Boy. From now on, you will be my brother. You have to help him more.” Fat Boy glanced at Zeng Fan, but he still stretched out his hand: “From now on, you can call me Fat Brother!

Zeng Fan smiled: "Brother Hu Zi, Brother Fat!"

Mr. Tan turned out to be a man in his thirties, and he didn't look like a beggar. He was well-dressed, especially his hair was neatly combed and gelled. At first glance, he looked like in "Shanghai Beach"

Xu Wenqiang, he wore a cheap suit

He wore a gray suit and a dazzling red tie. He lived in a house not far from where Zeng Fan begged, drinking wine, and there was a charming woman beside him, who was probably in her early twenties.

, dressed very coquettishly.

"Huzi, Fatty, it's not dark yet, are you going to close the market?" Mr. Tan took a sip of wine, then looked at Brother Huzi and Fatty indifferently, and then his eyes fell on Zeng Fan:

"Who is this kid?" Brother Huzi said hurriedly: "Master Tan, this is new here and wants to beg for food. This

No, I brought him to visit the pier!" The woman next to Mr. Tan smiled and said: "Hey, it looks like he is under ten years old, right?" Zeng Fan lowered his head: "I am nine years old this year." Mr. Tan frowned.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Does your accent sound like a foreigner?" Zeng Fan replied, "Yes, I'm from Dongliao."

Mr. Tan asked: "Who else is there in the family?" Zeng Fan gritted his teeth and shook his head: "No, I am an orphan!" The woman sighed: "Boss Tan, you see he is quite pitiful, so you can

Take him in!" Mr. Tan looked at Brother Hu Zi: "How many people do we have now?" Brother Hu Zi said: "

There are twenty-three of us, Mr. Tan. In fact, it doesn’t matter if there is one more person. Just give him food to eat!" Mr. Tan waved his hand: "Okay, you can make arrangements. By the way, you can get the rules.

Teach him well!" Brother Huzi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, I know Master Tan!"

It turns out that Huzi and the others also live here, but in a big house behind the house, which is Datongpu. As for the food, there is a child who cooks it, so the food expenses are naturally shared equally by everyone. Zeng Fan asked gently

: "One-third of the daily income, how can Mr. Tan

Will he know how much we really earn?" Brother Huzi said: "Please keep your voice down. We are not allowed to take any money with us when we go out every day. When we come back, won't he know after clearing it?" Zeng Fan was stunned for a moment: "

If we don’t bring money, then where do we put our money?”

Fatty said: "Brother Tan saved it, but if you really need it urgently, you can ask him for it. You can rest assured that Brother Tan will not cheat us of our money." Brother Huzi nodded: "Actually, Master Tan

This person is pretty good, you will know it if you get to know him more." Zeng Fan asked again.

He said: "That woman is his wife?" Brother Huzi shook his head: "We don't know this, but these things have nothing to do with us. You just have to do your own thing. As for Sister You, you

Don't offend her, she speaks with great weight in front of Mr. Tan."

Fatty said: "When Mr. Tan is not here to settle the grievances, even the police will give him face." Zeng Fan didn't want to care about other things. He smiled and said: "Oh, that's good!" Zeng Fan didn't know that.

Will trouble come here? But there seems to be no other place to go at the moment. He must stay here first. For him, it is good to have food and shelter now.

Brother Huzi asked Zeng Fan to beg in the place where he had just begged. From now on, that area will be allocated to him. Brother Huzi said: "From tomorrow on, you will also have to pay the contribution money!" Zeng Fan said: "I

I earned more than 30 yuan today, how about I take it today and pay ten yuan, right?" The fat boy smiled: "Forget it today, I just told you

If you don't pay ten yuan, you have to pay twenty yuan. Even if you only get ten yuan today, you still have to pay twenty yuan. If it's not enough, you have to give up the account and deduct it next time. But don't worry, twenty yuan is easy.

Yes, remember what I taught you, you must make people overflow with sympathy as soon as they see you. With sympathy points, you can make money even if you just sit there."

Zeng Fan said: "But how to win their sympathy?" Fatty glared at him: "Look at me, look at my appearance, am I worthy of pity?" Zeng Fan looked at it seriously.

The fat baby really looked pitiable like this. The fat baby said: "Try to make your expression as miserable as possible. If that doesn't work, just think about some sad things. It's best to have tears. That will be more successful!"

"

Zeng Fan thought about his own experience and his father and mother, and his face revealed a hint of sadness. Brother Hu Zi smiled and said: "Yes, that's right. Okay, you can feel it for yourself."

We have to go back to work, and when it gets dark, we can go back and prepare for dinner! By the way, we have to pay three yuan a day to Xiao Wu, who is the person in charge of the food. He has food money, and his salary is also included.
