Wang Jiuling plans to go to Anqing and take a boat to Panzhihua, but he has to walk there from Anhui. He can walk there from Tianjiazhuang. If he still has enough money, he can hire a carriage to go there.
After several days of traveling, she finally arrived. Wang Jiuling didn't want Tian Dan to be too tired, so she didn't walk as fast as before, so it was very slow. Tian Dan had been to Huangshan City as far away as possible, and everything on the other side was very fresh. Wang Jiuling kept telling her
Talking about the outside world, there is such a beautiful girl holding her arms, and anyone can tell her a story. Tian Dan and Tian Dan are forgotten in the carriage, and they can take advantage from time to time, even though it is
My wife’s, but it’s something else…
To be precise, the urban area of Anqing is north of the Yangtze River, so I forgot to take a boat there and cross the river, so I took the bus to Dadukou Town and got off, taking a rest here. Everything is so strange.
Dan naturally wants to visit Dadukou Town.
Zheng Shuang and three other brothers were begging for food in Dadukou Town. Zheng Shuang was a eunuch in the former Qing Palace. His home was in Hebei Province, very close to Beijing and Tianjin. In the Gengzi Year, the Eight-Power Allied Forces came and burned, killed and looted their home along the way.
He didn't have enough to eat, but when the Eight-Nation Allied Forces came, everything was set on fire, and the whole family's hope was gone. He was eight years old that year. The next year, due to the poverty of his family, the Qing palace was severely damaged the previous year, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace were destroyed.
Except for a few who successfully escaped, all others died in the war, so that year a large number of eunuchs, maids, and servants were recruited. That is, that year, the family sent him to the palace to become a eunuch.
During the years of management, people like them who had no backing could only do the dirtiest and most tiring work, and were bullied every day. Finally they learned some things, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was overthrown. Fortunately, the royal family after abdication
The treatment was good, so they were retained. A few years later, Zheng Shuang grew up. However, due to other eunuchs stealing a large number of palace antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and selling them, the incident finally came to light. Fu Yi was furious and had them
They all were driven out, leaving only a few personal eunuchs.
Zheng Shuang often thinks that life is always full of tragedies, especially when good things never happen to him. Zheng Shuang was kicked out of the palace and returned to his hometown. Unexpectedly, no one was left at home, and everyone died because he was a eunuch and had no money.
Qian was despised and ridiculed by the villagers, so he had no choice but to leave the village. The few people who came back with him had similar experiences to him. In the end, the six of them were working together outside to eat. People like them would know they were eunuchs at first sight.
I wanted to find some work but no one wanted it, so I finally became a beggar with peace of mind. More than ten years later, two of them have left this world.
The remaining four people have gone through so many years of ups and downs, and a few of them who are not yet forty years old look like they are fifty years old. Sometimes they often think that others can't live longer even if they want to.
But they managed to live like this for so long. The four eunuchs all agreed that no one of them was allowed to commit suicide until there was only one left. When only one of the six was left, the last one would kill the other five.
After burying it, you can choose to commit suicide or not to commit suicide.
Today they came out to beg as usual. In fact, people like them cannot stay in one place for a long time. Even among the crowds of beggars, there is no room for eunuchs. So they are walking around begging, almost all over the country for so many years.
, after living for so long, the only comfort of begging is that they have looked down upon the scenery inside and outside the Great Wall. Their next stop is to go to Huangshan. Their goal is to keep walking until the last one of them falls.
Wang Jiuling and Tian Dan were walking on the street, followed by four bodyguards. Their temperaments were different. Passers-by looked at them one after another. The man was handsome and unrestrained, the woman was indifferent, and the four bodyguards behind them were fierce and vigorous.
The relatively small beggars in the town are just itinerant beggars. There are no fixed or professional beggars. Zheng Shuang and others saw Wang Jiuling and Tian Dan coming and thought they might be able to get some money. According to their experience, if a man has a very beautiful woman next to him,
At this time, if you come up and say a few auspicious words, you will get a good reward. Of course, the man in the prerequisite looks very rich, but the woman is as beautiful as a flower. If the man has no money, it will be difficult to get such a reward.
What a beautiful woman!
"Sir, Madam, please do me a favor! We haven't eaten for several days!" As they said, the four of them shook the broken bowls in front of Wang Jiuling and Tian Dan... standard beggars, anyway, this is how they are shown on TV and movies.
of
Wang Jiuling heard that their accents were wrong. It was not like the southern accent, but the Beijing-Tianjin generation accent. "You seem to be from the north, how come you come to this small town?"
Years of begging experience told Zheng Shuang that if a rich man is willing to talk to a beggar, it means that as long as you talk to him well and answer his questions, you will definitely get a lot more money than before. Zheng Shuang said: "Return
Uncle, we are from Hebei and have been begging outside all year round. Later, we thought that we were begging in one place anyway, so it would be better to go to a few more places to see the customs and customs of other places and appreciate the beautiful scenery inside and outside the Great Wall. That is what we are planning to do now.
Go and see Huangshan." Zheng Shuang feels that even if you want to be a beggar, you must be a dignified beggar, not to mention that they themselves are beggars with lofty ambitions.
"Oh!" Tian Dan had never encountered such an interesting thing before. He kept asking questions, which was so fun. Wang Jiuling did not expect that there were such people in this era, begging for food and traveling. In comparison,
I am really ashamed of myself!
Tian Dan kept asking various questions about what Zheng Shuang had seen and heard on the road. Zheng Shuang patiently told him. Several other eunuchs did not interrupt, but most of the time they looked at Wang Jiuling.
They didn't react, but later they remembered that they were beggars. Naturally, they worked so hard in the hope of getting some benefits. Wang Jiuling took out two oceans and gave them to them. The four of them happily took the oceans and kowtowed to thank them. Tian Dan didn't think they were dirty either.
, keep asking this and that
Wang Jiuling pulled Tian Dan and wanted to tell her to leave. Tian Dan also knew what Wang Jiuling wanted, but it was rare to meet such a fun person and he would never leave, so he pouted and looked at Wang Jiuling. Wang Jiuling couldn't stand beautiful women acting coquettishly.
Besides, she was the woman he liked. He had an idea and said: "I want to ask you. They told you such a happy story. I think I should treat them to a meal and tell you a little more about their stories. Anyway,
We are not leaving today”
When Tian Dan heard that Wang Jiuling thought this way, he felt that Wang Jiuling was really considerate. He nodded sharply and Wang Jiuling smiled helplessly.
"If you don't mind, I'll treat you to dinner?"
"We are too dirty," Zheng Shuang said embarrassedly. No one has ever invited them to dinner in so many years.
"It doesn't matter, you eat yours and I'll eat mine, let's go!" Although Wang Jiuling also comes from a poor family, there is no way he can put vegetables in a bowl with several beggars.
Seeing that several people were still motionless, Wang Jiuling stuffed two pieces of ocean and said, "Can you four please tell my wife what you saw on the road later?"
The four of them looked at each other and said, "Thank you, sir!" and followed Wang Jiuling to the restaurant.
