There is a big family in Zhaozhuang, Zhucheng County, Shandong Province. The old head is nearly sixty years old, and he is still tough and must do everything himself. On this day, he pouted a fecal basket and went to the field to check the harvest, and by the way, picked up half a basket of feces. On the way back, it rained, and the rain got worse and worse, drenching the old man up and down. Just as he came to the door to knock on the door and enter the hospital, he saw a little beggar who was naked and thin. There was only a thin layer of skin on the outside of the roots and ribs, which made the rain take a look and think it was a scarecrow made of rags. It turned out that the man pulled the wheat straw home in the morning, and the shrunken wheat grains were soaked in the rain water, and the little beggar was squatting in the rain to pick up the wheat grains to eat.

The old man in charge was a kind person, and his eyes immediately turned red: they are all the same age, my grandson is studying in the school, and every day the big fish and meat are sent to the rice, and this child is here to pick up deflated wheat to eat, can it not swell? He pulled up the child and asked, "Where are you from and what is your name?" The child just stared at him stupidly and shook his head in horror.

"You're a fool. At least it's a life, you came with me." The old man took the little beggar into the courtyard and told the maid: "Give him a good bath, find a set of clothes that the little master wears, and change them. He's about to freeze to death."

At this time, the son of the old boss came over, saluted, and asked, "Father, why did you bring him back? I just drove him away." He added: "The old saying goes, 'If the family business wants to be prosperous, the dog is big and the child is fat; if the family business wants to be defeated, the cat is thin, the child is monkey and the dog is long.' You see that this little thing is thin and still doesn't say it, and he is covered in scabies, which makes him unlucky at the door, but you bring him to the courtyard instead."

"Bullshit! Your father begged for food when I was a child, and I was in a hurry to steal the steamed buns that others provided for heaven and earth. Wasn't that family's heart good, and I was beaten to death long ago, and there will still be you? I can't throw away the begging stick and beat the beggar. Whoever looks down on the poor in the future, I will discount his legs. I will keep this child."

In old society, the rules were big, and the son was in his early forties, which meant he could be beaten. The old boss called all the domestic servants into the hall, instructed them not to underestimate the poor in the future, and then announced that he would leave the little beggar and let him learn to sweep the yard and do some handyman or something. Dressed in scabies, no one wanted to sleep with him, so he built a small building next to the kennel without even a window. The little beggar was so happy that he kowtowed to the old boss: "I'm happy to sleep alone, thank you, grandpa." The family quickly shouted: "You have to call the old man." The old boss was very interested: "He can call him whatever he likes, let him call him." The little beggar became the only foreigner in the Zhao family, and the long-term workers jokingly called him "Master Hua (Master Hua Zi) ".

Young Master Hua lived in the Zhao family's courtyard, but he didn't like to do chores. Sweeping the yard was like an old lady's eyebrows, with a rake and a broom. The old master said, "There are so many people in our family, each person drops some rice grains enough to support him to death, don't bother him, if you don't know how to do it, you won't do it." But Young Master Hua did not like to eat, and was happy to eat melon seeds. The young master was unhappy: "I forgot the taste of picking up wheat grains in the rain?" The old master said: "Our family has a hoard of sunflower seeds, and if you can't sell them, you can feed them to mice. If he is willing to eat them, let him eat them."

This Young Master Hua is very different from normal people. No one can see him during the day. He just sleeps in a small building and snores loudly. When it gets dark, he gets up and goes to the housekeeper to get a basket of melon seeds, about five catties, which is enough to eat for five days. The housekeeper asked him, "You have to do something too, how can you eat the goods of the owner for free?" Young Master Hua replied, "This job has been done by so many people, and I still need one? I can find my job. Well, you can take some peanuts and let me peel them, and I will be idle when I am idle." The butler gave him two sacks, and in his heart, this was enough for your child to peel for half a month. Who wanted to send peanuts to the small side building? Young Master Hua came out and picked up a few wooden sticks, but never came out again. The next day, at dawn, he called the butler to ask someone to take peanuts, and peeled them overnight.

The butler was taken aback: "The shell of this peanut is so hard that even adults have to use bamboo clips to peel it open to peel the kernels. You don't have bamboo clips, how do you peel your tender hands and tender feet?"

Young Master Hua smiled: "It's ancestral, and I'm afraid people will learn it, so I peel it in the dark at night."

The housekeeper told the old boss about this: "I'm afraid this child is not an ordinary person, so it's ominous."

The old boss said, "I don't eat those who commit drugs, I don't do those who break the law, and I never hate others. What can he do if he is unusual? Just treat me well."

However, Young Master Hua still insisted on sleeping in the summer, and still ate melon seeds and peeled peanuts every night. In a flash of 5 years, although the scabies all over his body have receded, his height is not long, and he should be fifteen or sixteen years old. At first glance, it is almost the same as when he first came.

In the early autumn of this year, a group of circus runners came to the town not far from Zhaojiazhuang. They set up a tent several meters high to circle the venue, and a high pole was erected in the middle that was higher than the tent. The actors followed the high pole to perform the scorpion upside down on the wall kung fu, head down, feet up, and then leaped to the top of the pole with one leg, and then hooked the pole with one leg, and watched on all sides like Sun Monkey.

Young Master Hua made an exception this time. He got up in broad daylight and went to watch the bustle for a while. He came back and closed the door and said to the old man, "Grandpa, something bad has happened in our house tonight. I've been bothering you for a long time, and I've found something I can do."

The old boss said, "Why does this child say something first? I don't understand."

"Didn't you see those acrobats? " It's an illusion. In fact, they are a group of cat burglars, climbing the high pole to learn from monkeys to watch.

"This... I didn't offend anyone." The old boss was dubious.

"Grandpa, you have not offended anyone, but your property has aroused the hearts of thieves. You can go to the crowd and take a closer look. See if the monkey learners are looking at us the most carefully."

As soon as the old boss verified it, it really happened. When he came back, he panicked: "Little Hanako, can you help me?"

Young Master Hua told the old man not to panic, first let the guys fill all the big tanks with water, and then prepare a few sacks of rice bran. The sky was getting dark, and the jugglers stopped to eat. Young Master Hua ordered to immediately remove the feces from the big cesspool in the fence and put it aside. The pit is as deep as a person, let the guys fill it with water, and the water surface is covered with a layer of rice bran. The rice bran floats on the water surface, does not reflect light, does not sink to the bottom, and it is as flat as the ground under the night. Young Master Hua said: "Grandpa, look at the small square hole above the cesspool where you usually remove the feces and throw it outside the wall to save trouble. They saw it and entered the hospital through that hole at night."

"Can such a small hole fly into a big living person?"

"These snitches are very capable, and they all have the hard skills of shrinking bones. Just wait and see!"

In the evening, Young Master Hua chose a few strong long-term workers and stood by the puddle. He asked the father and son, who were in charge of the family, to put on cotton-padded clothes and sit and watch. After the second half of the night, the long-term workers were very sleepy. Just as they were about to take a nap, Young Master Hua whispered "coming", and saw a figure flying into the small square hole "whoosh". The snakes observed it during the day, and the square hole was full of dried dung, thinking that it was the same as walking on the flat ground. When the guys looked, the cat burglar was already dead!

Young Master Hua was still waiting by the puddle, and it didn't take much time for another one to fly in, and it was still like that... When it was almost dawn, 12 snakes came in one after another, and Young Master Hua patted the dust on his hands: "That's it. Grandpa, you put these people side by side, and then scoop out the water in the pit and fill it with the dung, so you can't see the difference. At dawn, their leader will come to the door, you just let them carry it away. I have to go to bed. Remember, no matter how they interrogate you, you must not tell him I did it. If he can't catch the opponent, our family will be safe."

The old boss's eyes straightened: "With so many lives, can the government let us go?"

"Don't worry, with his eight guts, the thieves didn't dare to report to the official, so they had to admit it."

Sure enough, when the sun was high, two or three young people surrounded an old man with a white beard and came to visit. The old boss knew it was the thief, but he remembered Young Master Hua's instructions and just fought the thief.

The head thief said, "Last night, a few children went to the mansion to be naughty and learned a lesson. They deserved it. I'm here today to pay my respects to the head of the house, and then take them back. What else does the head of the house ask for?"

"No."  The old boss answered according to Young Master Hua's instructions.

The thief head came to the place where the dead were placed, turned and looked at them one by one, and his face became pale: "There must be an expert in the old boss's house. The little old man admires it! I recognize the death of the person, but I have a small request. I have to see that expert no matter what."

The old boss had no choice but to deal with it vaguely: "There are a few caretakers of the house, 'each takes care of each other, it is not biased, and each protects his master is not a traitor'. But how is it worth the shopkeeper's remembrance to carve small tricks?"

The head of the thief stretched out two fingers and filled it into his mouth, and with that blow, he whistled with a sharp and earth-shattering whistle, which spread far and wide. Hearing the whistle, everyone's back was cold and their hair stood up! After the whistle, they saw "whoosh whoosh" like leaves falling from the autumn wind, drifting into the yard. Thirty or forty people fell to the ground silently. The head of the thief waved his head at the corpses: "Get these useless ones back first, and the rest will be with me for a long time." Suddenly, more than a dozen expressionless snitches carried the corpses and left.

The head of the thief said to the old man, "See clearly. We outlaws never care about our lives. If we lose, we will be convinced, but we must have an explanation. We just want to meet the high man and leave immediately; if we don't agree, then this compound may be the graves of many people. The old man will listen to you."

Even the old boss, everyone knew that the disaster was really imminent, and their faces changed in fright, but of course the old boss couldn't betray Young Master Hua, he just shook his head.

At some point, Young Master Hua had already squeezed into the crowd, holding melon seeds in his mouth, and said vaguely to the old boss: "Grandpa, my father, my uncle and the others are playing cards, saying that they are too lazy to know the thieves in general..." Before he finished speaking, he heard the old thief say "oops", covered his face with his hands, turned around and left, and left: "Where is the bastard who dares to do evil, what kind of person is he?" He fled in a hurry with his subordinates.

Young Master Hua sneered and shook his head, looking like a cheeky face: "If you don't use black hands, I can't get you." Only then did everyone know that Young Master Hua had plotted against the old thief!

Young Master Hua raised his hand to disperse everyone and led the old man to the small building alone. He found a few wooden sticks and stood against the wall. Then he grabbed a handful of melon seeds and threw them into his mouth.

Young Master Hua knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times firmly to the old boss: "Grandpa, Xiaohuazi is the son of a delinquent, and he is also on the list of mortal death. Thanks to meeting a good person like you, I have been given a place to avoid disaster for a few years to practice. I eat melon seeds with the constriction technique. I am old and have the same appearance, so I can escape the entanglement of the government... In the past few years, I have only practiced melon seed skins with a hundred hair and a hundred hits; I have only practiced until my fingers pinch the flesh and bones without changing the skin... But the thief's ability is too great. I can't provoke him, so I have to plot. Although it was forced, this has broken the rules of my father's life for decades, but I have to find a place to reflect for a while. However, this thief does not know how many capable people there are in our family, and he is blind, so he does not dare to seek revenge. If something happens, I will appear sooner or later, but at that time, I will be the image of a big man. . "

After Young Master Hua finished speaking, he slapped his knees and let out a long whistle of "hi". He saw lightning and flashes, and a figure flew out of the wall of the Zhao family's courtyard.
