Chapter 2 Hope

Wei He not only received the homework of the horn braid here, but also has three other children. Went to him to find a ghostwriter.

All because of one of his unique skills in his previous life, that is, he can simulate different styles of handwriting, and it is easier to imitate the handwriting of a small child.

After collecting a bunch of homework paper rolls, Wei He rolled up the things, hid them inside his clothes, got up, and walked back home.

While passing the Shiqiao Street by the river, a small noise came from the weeds on the riverbank.

It is also mixed with women’s cries and men’s roared. There was also the sound of fiercely beating people with sticks.

Wei He paused his feet, speeding up over the side.

The Scripture Explaining Hall is in the inner city, it’s safe and patrolled at all times.

But his family lives in the slum area, so it’s a mess.

This stone bridge street is already located in the slum area.

When he got home, Wei He finished his homework one after another with the charcoal he had already prepared. Then patted the charcoal again, rolled it up and put it away.

The second sister, Wei Ying, used ready-made vegetables to make one dish and one soup. Two people sat at the table, waiting for the rest of the family to come back.

It was getting dark.

The eldest sister, Wei Chun, still hasn’t come back.

No news from my parents.

Wei He’s parents are craftsmen, who specialize in carving stone statues for people. Recently, they have been carving Buddha statues for the Illustrious Virtue Temple outside the city.

“Mom and dad may have to live in the temple again today.” Second sister Wei Ying whispered. “It’s just that the eldest sister hasn’t come back yet?”

The eldest sister Wei Chun will come back every day.

“.”

Wei He didn’t speak, he looked up and looked out the window, the sun was almost sinking and he couldn’t see it.

The wind blowing in also cooled down, and there was a faint smell of other people’s cooking.

“Eldest sister always comes back at this time.” Wei Ying glanced at the younger brother and murmured in a low voice, as if he was speaking to Wei He, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

“I’ll take a look, don’t go anywhere at home.” Wei He stood up. He always felt that something was wrong, feel ill at ease.

“Go early and come back early.” Wei Ying advised.

“en. ”

Wei He put on a coat, although it was full of patches, it still kept warm.

Pushing open the wooden door, he saw a few tall brawny men standing at the entrance of the alley on the right.

There are three people in total, wearing gray bunts, their arms exposed, and their dark skin is full of strong muscles.

The three people Wei He knew were Chen Biao, a famous scoundrel nearby, and two of his followers.

Chen Biao doesn’t work either. The body is still so strong.

But Wei He has heard of it, and some people guess that Chen Biao is related to the gang. Often gang gangs steal people everywhere, that is, secretly abducting people and sending them to gang gangs to sell.

Children want it, single women want it, and even some good looking men have it.

It doesn’t really matter. The point is, Chen Biao has seen Wei He’s second sister Wei Ying before, and he often wanders around after that.

Later, I had a conflict with my eldest sister, Wei Chun, and it was only a little bit more restrained.

Wei Chun is from the Blackwater Gang, although he is not the leader, but also not he can be bullied by a gangster.

After that, Chen Biao often wandered around when Wei Chun was not around.

Wei He looked at him from a distance, and happened to meet Chen Biao with short hair and strong hair.

Chen Biao’s two small eyes flashed a strange light, laughed at Wei He, then turned his head and talked to his two followers.

Wei He’s heart tensed.

I know this guy is waiting for the big sister to come back. The reason why the eldest sister Wei Chun comes home on time every day is not without this guy.

Members of the gang, turbulent and troublesome, who knows what will happen someday.

So Chen Biao definitely has some bad thoughts.

‘I’m sorry. ‘Wei He quickened his pace, walked out of the alley, and moved towards the Blackwater Gang branch where the eldest sister was.

The eldest sister Wei Chun looks different from the rest of the siblings. She is born with five big and three thick, strong physique, short-tempered, and not too weak. So in the Blackwater Gang branch, there is little fame.

Blackwater Gang branch is a small courtyard in four directions. In the courtyard, several men are lifting stone locks, and a man with pigtails is standing by and yawning.

“Wei Chun? She took a mission this morning, saying that after this trip, she could earn enough money to go to the inner city at home and save enough money for her younger brother to learn boxing.

It should be a more important task, why didn’t she tell you?”

“No.” Wei He shook his head, but his heart sank.

“A lot of brothers are vying for that, and the Branch Master has only picked a dozen or so good players. Your sister is also among them, so don’t be in a hurry.” The man replied with a smile.

“Then do you know when they will be back?” Wei He asked.

“I don’t know, this kind of more important task is usually not too short, so don’t worry. Well, I’m still training here, you go back and wait, and the others come back to me. Be the first to inform your sister.” The man waved his hand, meaning to get out quickly.

Wei He knew that this was all he could ask, and the other party wouldn’t tell him no matter how much.

Turn around and he slowly walked out of the courtyard gate.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, he turned his head and looked at the sign hanging with the words Blackwater Branch.

‘The Blackwater Gang is a rateless gang. There are not hundreds or dozens of them in the outer city. Where can I find jobs that can make so much money? ‘

Wei He’s heart sinks.

He had a bad premonition.

He’s not one of the other illiterate and illiterate poor people, he knows there must be something wrong.

But now that the man is gone, he is also a sixteen-year-old boy who knows nothing.

I can also read Braille, what can I do?

When he got home, Wei He didn’t see Chen Biao or the others at the entrance of the alley.

Only when I got home, when I opened the door, I saw the second sister Wei Ying’s face was pale, with a panicked and depressed expression.

Seeing him coming back, Wei Ying relaxed as if he had put down some burden.

“Little He . What’s the matter, eldest sister, how is it?”

“Chen Biao came over just now?” Wei He asked in a deep voice.

“I’ve come, I hid and didn’t say a word, he, he thought there was no one, so he left.” Wei Ying stuttered, obviously frightened.

Wei He saw the slight loess ash on the door, and knew that there must have been a lot of commotion just now.

“Eldest sister is on an important mission and can’t come back for the time being. Let’s eat first.” He tried his best to remain calm.

Now that he is with the second sister, if he is still panicking as a male, the timid second sister is probably even more afraid.

“en.” Wei Ying replied in a low voice.

The two of them closed the door, closed the window, and sat down silently, picking up chopsticks and eating slowly through a little light coming in through the cracks in the window.

The dishes are fried bean curd with carrot and cabbage tofu soup. Rice is wheat bran rice with a lot of corn added.

There is no meat, and most people can’t afford meat. The eldest sister, Wei Chun, can be so thick and handsome. She has a big skeleton and looks strong. In addition, she has some food to help her, so she eats more than the family members.

But Wei Family and others around, eat at this level. A little bit of oil is fine.

After dinner, Wei Ying went to wash the dishes, while Wei He was on the only table, spread out his homework, and started to finish the brats’ homework.

Only at this time did he dare to light the oil lamp with flint and use the light to write.

Wei Ying sat aside, carefully patching the clothes with needles and threads. Neither of them said much.

It was night, and they all slept in their own beds.

Second day, Wei He went to pay back the homework, and the money was in place. He also finally saved enough money to learn boxing.

The eldest sister, Wei Chun, still hasn’t come back.

Even the parents, Wei Tang and his wife, still did not reply.

Wei Ying was sitting at home and was afraid to go out to pick up work. All day long waiting for Wei He to come in and out to bring back a little news.

Wei He went to the branch again. The person who was willing to see him before has disappeared. Maybe he didn’t want to talk nonsense with him again.

He was blocked at the door.

Three days have passed.

Neither parents nor Wei Chun, there is no news.

In the alley next to the house, Chen Biao’s group appeared more and more frequently. The time they stared at Wei Family was getting longer and longer.

Wei He’s heart sank to the bottom.

He knew that the worst-case scenario in his mind might have happened.

So he knew he had to figure something out as soon as possible.

In this world, it is very common for people to disappear suddenly. When they go out, they encounter robbers, or encounter wild animals, or they fall ill and die on the road.

There are so many factors that can make people disappear.

Bring the money on the fourth morning.

It was not yet dawn, Wei He took a forearm-thick wooden stick and quietly came out of the house.

Tightening all the money he had spent on apprenticeships, he looked back at his second sister, Wei Ying.

“Hide well at home, don’t go out, don’t make a sound.”

“en. “Wei Ying nodded hard, she seemed to see the unusual behavior of her little brother today.

Now the eldest sister is not here, neither are her parents, she is the only one who lives with the younger brother, so she will definitely not be a drag on the younger brother.

Using the dim light of the sky, Wei He took a deep breath and spit it out slowly to calm himself down.

“I originally planned to save some food to go, but now I have no choice”

He could feel his heart beating in peng peng. With him is the money he has accumulated for more than two months, success or not, in this battle!

Carefully hide the money bag inside the clothes and tie it up. This is all his savings, and he must not lose it.

Then blocked it with his hand and a wooden stick. Wei He held the stick tightly and walked quickly towards the alley.

Crossing Shiqiao Street and crossing the stone bridge, there are already many farmers on the road carrying vegetables and fruits to sell.

There are also well-dressed wealthy families who are sitting on the carriage and seem to be going out for an outing.

The poor peasant households in shabby clothes and the Young Masters and Lady dressed in silk are on the same road, forming a sharp contrast.

He didn’t go very far, and soon, he saw the three bragging Chen Biao standing on the side of the road.

The three of them exchanged and talked in a low voice, and kept looking at the men and women passing by with their eyes. When they encountered a beautiful and attractive one, they all stared deeply at others.

It seems to take people to heart.

Wei He’s heart tensed. He now has all his savings in his arms, but he must not go wrong.

The more nervous he was, the more he pretended to be indifferent.

As he went forward, he soon came to the part of the road where Chen Biao and the three were next to each other.

If he hadn’t been seen by Chen Biao before, in fact, detouring was the best way.

But since it was seen, it would be too abrupt and deliberate to make a sudden detour.

Instead, it may cause trouble.

So, the more natural it is, the safer it is!

Wei He walked steadily and was about to walk past the three people.

“Wait.”

Suddenly Chen Biao stretched out his hand, just to stop him.

“Little He, what’s the matter, today I’m going to the inner city again, going to the inner city every day, not looking for a job in our own town, have you climbed up some big family?” said Chen Biao mystifying with a smile.

His voice was sharp, not imposing like a big brawny man at all, but rather like a cock.

“none of your business? My eldest sister helped me find a job.” Wei He said indifferently with the same attitude as usual.

“hehe, eldest sister, yes, eldest sister is a good player in the Blackwater Gang. Okay, I won’t stop you.” Chen Biao laughed a few times and retracted his hand.

Wei He moved on.

“Wait.” Chen Biao is in trouble again.

His small eyes swept across Wei He’s bulging clothes.

“Little He, brother, your clothes seem to be bulging today, is there something hidden?”

“I work at the construction site every day, and I am hungry, so I need to bring some dry cookies. , what? No?” Wei He pulled his clothes away, took out a piece of dry biscuit inside and shook it.

“Yes, of course.” Chen Biao smiled and retracted his hand, and said no more. “Go, go, remember to say hello to your second sister, I have liked your second sister for a long time.”

“.” before leaving.

He kept walking briskly for more than a mile before he was fiercely relieved.
