But the process wasn't all smooth sailing. Some shameless scoundrels would laugh at Ah Yi's performance while simultaneously saying it was bad and demanding their money back.
He hadn't actually given a single penny, but what could the people around him do to a scoundrel? Ah Yi often encountered this kind of situation, so what could he do?
There was no way to deal with it before, but things are different now...
"You shameless adult! You even take money from a beggar! Don't you have any shame?!"
There was a shop next door that sold cosmetics and various handmade bracelets and ornaments. Inside, there was a little girl and a boy. The little girl led the boy out and started cursing, along with the shop assistant.
"have a finger in the pie!"
So he begs here because the little girls here seem to have a special pity for him, a clean little beggar. So he often comes here and is able to receive some alms.
Of course, he couldn't come too often, otherwise the adults in her family would notice. So the beggar figured out the little girl's route and then they would have some chance encounters.
This time was no exception. Ah Yi kowtowed and thanked them, while the little girl waved her hand and said that she just looked down on this kind of person. Then she threw down some copper coins and left.
Should A-Yi thank her? No, A-Yi did not thank the little girl.
As A-Yi struggled to survive, he, who was used to looking at shoes on the ground, saw a pair of black shoes. They weren't anything of great wealth or status, but the special patterns on them represented the mark of a certain family.
Ah Yi looked up at the somewhat dazzling person. The other person was dangerous, tall, and young, and he didn't recognize him.
"Good eye. No gratitude, just hatred. You're the perfect wolf cub for getting things done. Too bad you're about to die."
He spoke with pity, then tossed out several dozen copper coins and left. In that dazed state of death, Ah-Yi heard how others addressed that person.
"Young Master" / "Master Dao"
Is Ah-Yi going to die? Ah-Yi doesn't know, because he wants to live, but that sentence is imprinted in Ah-Yi's heart, because the previous sentence was "good eyesight".
Ah-yi kept thinking about this until the end of the day. The constable took his share, and the person in charge of monitoring him also came to collect the money. They didn't take all the extra money, but kept a portion for him.
This greedy and inhumane man looked at A-Yi with pity, said nothing, and left. But A-Yi understood, and he said something too.
Ah-yi was going to die, in his sixth year of begging, becoming the second person that Constable Seven had seen replaced, and like the others, he died in winter.
But Ah-Yi doesn't want to die...
