Chapter 13 The Story of Big Nose.5

Our hero,--no, let's call him "Big Nose" if he wants to, has some finer careers. As usual, there is no way to find out the year, month and day. In short, it has been a long time since I left the "adventure" mentioned above, maybe it has been a year, and it is a sultry day with rain and sun. It was when everyone was about to have lunch, and there were a lot of people on the road.Our "big nose" stands in a very suitable place, watching the "happy" people like a cat, hoping to get some "happiness" by the way. Suddenly he jumped slightly, followed behind a pair of beautiful young men and women, and begged in a low voice: "Good lady, good young master, give me a copper." Based on experience, he knew that as long as he followed patiently With more time, you can often get something.He also knew that on such occasions, if the woman pursed her lips and said angrily, "I hate you, little bastard", the man would take out a copper coin or two to buy the ears. The tranquility of life—that is, to buy the woman's happiness.

But this time I followed it for a long way, but it still didn't work.The man and the woman walked arm in arm, whispering to themselves as they walked. They turned again.There is a policeman on the corner of the road.Big Nose had no choice but to stop, letting the couple go for a long time, and then he walked in front of the policeman in a leisurely manner. After passing this pass, he hurriedly searched for his target, but unfortunately, the distance was too far away, so he might not be able to catch up.However, it was not enough to be disappointed, because the pair stood there motionless at a distance.

Big Nose immediately used running.He also saw that another woman was talking to the pair.Suddenly the two women started arguing and wrestling, and the man was so anxious that he got caught in the middle, persuading one and then the other.When Big Nose ran close to them, there were already several idlers surrounding them and making up their minds.Suddenly, a small paper bag (it was filled with a dozen copper coins as change in a fancy shop) fell to the ground, and only Big Nose saw it.He immediately picked it up without hesitation, put it in his pocket resolutely, and then got out from between the thighs of the human layer, playing the flute and walking to the opposite road.

When such an opportunity arises, the big nose is often brave.He just hasn't learned how to dig in people's pockets yet. When encountering such an opportunity, he is very resolute. If he had "looted" five coppers from the old woman in charge of the public latrine--at the time of this "adventure", he was quite indecisive, that would be fine. It wasn't because he was "naive" at that time, but because he refused to disregard his promise: people entrusted him as if they were his friends, and he was too embarrassed to confiscate them all.
