Chapter 1 The little beggar strays into the black pine forest

Jinling City, this winter is extremely cold, and today it is raining heavily. There are only a few pedestrians on the street, all walking in a hurry, and no one notices that there are people walking in the same place.

In front of the dilapidated temple gate, a little boy with a yellow face and skinny muscles was holding a thin little girl, shivering from the cold.

 The little boy's name is Chouba. He is a little beggar in Jinling City. He is holding his sister Xiaoya in his arms. Both of them have been without father and mother since they were young, wandering in the city.

On the streets, begging for food.

 Xiaoya was picked up by Chouba from the garbage dump. At that time, Xiaoya could not walk yet, so Chouba raised her by relying on the leftovers he begged for.

 Xiaoya is 6 years old this year, and Chouba is two years older than Xiaoya. Of course, this is Chouba's own algorithm, because Chouba doesn't know how old he is.

 Their bodies were uncovered and dirty, and their faces were purple and blue from the cold. Chouba found a dirty rag from somewhere and wrapped it in it.

On the girl's body to protect her from the cold.

 I heard Xiaoya say in a trembling voice: "Brother, I'm so hungry and cold!

 A trace of helplessness flashed across Chouba's sallow and thin face, but his eyes immediately turned firm when he looked at Xiaoya and said: "Xiaoya, wait, brother will get it for you."

food".

 He braved the heavy rain and walked blindly along the street. There was no one on the deserted street: he was used to such days. As long as Xiaoya was hungry,

Whether it's stealing, robbing, or kneeling down to beg, Chouba will do it without hesitation, because in his heart Xiaoya is his hope and everything he has.

Without Xiaoya, Chouba would have no motivation to live.

 Passing by the familiar school, Chouba lay down at the window as it happened. Inside, an old scholar was shaking his head and talking to a few rich kids.

The young master and the ladies were in class, and he listened carefully.

 At this time, besides Xiaoya, Chouba was the only one left to do his favorite things. After so many years, the old scholar got used to his presence.

Sometimes they even teach him how to read.

 The children are also used to his existence. Chouba is the name they gave him. Sometimes everyone will give him something to eat; he will also come home when everyone goes home.

When no one is around, help to clean the classroom.

 Of course, whatever he gets, he will deliver it to Xiaoya as soon as possible. He will let Xiaoya eat until she is full before he eats a little bit. Whenever Xiaoya is full,

, is also the time when Chouba feels most accomplished.

 Xiaoya's words: "Brother, I'm full" are the most beautiful sounds of nature in Chouba's life.

 The pouring rain fell on Chouba's body, and he was unconscious. His disheveled hair covered his thin and sallow face; but his eyes were always there.

So bright and determined, because there is hope in his heart.

 Chouba listened for a while, sighed, turned around and left, because Xiaoya was still hungry and waiting for him to bring back something to eat.

 Walking on the street, suddenly there was a sudden sound of horse hooves coming from behind. Chouba turned around and saw five or six big men wearing Yiyi clothes and fighting sticks on their heads.

Surrounded by a young woman, she rushed toward him at lightning speed.

 The big man on the horse in front shouted: "Quickly, get out of the way." Chouba couldn't dodge and was knocked to the ground. The big man raised his riding whip.

When he was about to call him, the young woman suddenly shouted: "Liu Jian, don't be reckless."

 I saw the young woman taking out a cloth bag from her arms, flicking it casually, throwing a bag of broken silver in front of Chouba, and said apologetically: "Little brother

I'm sorry." Without stopping, he rode away.

 Chouba's eyes lit up, he turned over and hurriedly rushed towards it, grabbing the bag of silver in his hand. He didn't care about the pain in his body, and raised his head towards the young woman who was leaving.

Said: "Thank you female Bodhisattva, thank you female Bodhisattva", and vaguely saw the young woman holding a little girl in her arms.

 Chouba kowtowed heavily in the direction of the young woman's retreat, thinking: "The female Bodhisattva is really a good person. Good people will be rewarded."

 He got up, limped back and ran back, thinking happily: "Xiaoya, I don't have to go hungry anymore these days!"

He had already put the pain on his leg aside and automatically ignored it.

 He came to a bun shop and shouted loudly: "Old man Zhang, here are 10 meat buns."

 An old man in his sixties was lazily lying on a recliner. He turned his head and saw that it was Chouba. He cursed and shouted: "I said Chouba, you are the only one."

You stinky beggar, how can you get the money? Why don't you come here to entertain the old man?"

 Chouba stretched out his hand, picked up a broken piece of silver, waved it in front of the old man, raised his head and said proudly: "Old man Zhang, don't look down on others.

What do you think this is?"

 When Old Man Zhang saw the piece of silver, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately became energetic. He quickly stood up, took ten buns and wrapped them in paper, and grabbed the ugly bag.

He weighed the silver in his hand, but muttered in his mouth: "Damn it, has the sun come out from the west? This kid must have stolen the silver in his hand."

As he spoke, he handed the bun to Chouba.

 Chouba didn't care what he said, grabbed the bun, held it carefully with both hands, turned around and ran towards the ruined temple.

 "Sister, sister, the buns are here," Ba shouted to Xiaoya as he ran, came to Xiaoya, reached out and gently took out a bun and handed it over.

 Xiaoya raised her head feebly, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she shouted happily: "Wow! What a steamed stuffed bun!"

 Stretching out his dark little hand, he grabbed the bun and opened his mouth to bite it. Suddenly he thought of something, raised his head, and handed the bun to Chouba, excited.

He said: "Brother, thank you for your hard work. You eat first."

 As if he was doing magic, Chouba took out a big bag from his back and said, "Hahaha, we have more than enough. Today I will let you eat as much as you like!"

 Xiaoya exclaimed excitedly: "Wow, there are so many, brother, you are so good!" After that, she took a hard bite of the bun, and suddenly her mouth was filled with oil;

 Chouba looked at Xiaoya eating the steamed buns with satisfaction. He imitated his sister and took a big bite. The two looked at each other stupidly and smiled.

Smiling so happily, so happy!

 The two of them were eating deliciously, when suddenly a voice came from the street and said: "Well, it smells so good, why do I smell the meat buns?"

 Six or seven beggars in tattered clothes came from the street. One of them saw Chouba and shouted loudly: "Boss, it's Chouba, wow! He is eating buns."

Where is your son!"

 Chouba turned around and saw that it was the gangster Liu San who often bullied him.

 Chouba shouted anxiously: "Sister, run, they are going to steal our buns." After that, he picked up Xiaoya and turned around to run away. He knew that he had nothing but buns on him.

We still have money, so we must not let them catch it.

 Liu San, the leader, shouted: "Damn it, catch them, quick! Quick! Quick!"

 Chouba pulled Xiaoya and ran forward crazily. The two of them ran to a broken city wall. Chouba said hurriedly: "Sister, turn over." After that, Chouba

Chouba picked up Xiaoya and lifted her to the gap in the city wall with both hands. "Jump down, hurry up," Chouba shouted anxiously.

 "Brother is so tall! I don't dare to jump," Xiaoya said:

 When Chouba heard this, he climbed up, picked up his sister, and jumped down.

 "Ah, brother, my legs hurt so much"

 I'll hold you and run"

 Chouba picked up his sister Xiaoya and ran wildly into the woods in front of him. A group of beggars behind him stopped when they saw they ran into the woods.

 One person said: "Boss and the others have entered the dark forest. There are wild wolves everywhere there. Let's stop chasing them, right?"

 Liu San looked at their retreating figures with hatred and said: "Scare, I'm taking advantage of him. It's really unlucky to leave."

 Another person said: "It doesn't matter, Chouba. If you dare to enter the Black Forest, you will be dead. There are wild beasts everywhere. Very few people can come out of the Black Forest alive."
