Chapter 164: The hero spares his life
The trees along the stone pavement seemed to have grown taller and longer, and the pavilions and corridors that had been laid out along the houses had become mottled by the erosion of time, and the original bright colors had disappeared, leaving only occasional specks mixed with gray and black.
The stone slabs on the ground saw that a lot of small grasses had grown, and they grew tenaciously, jacking up the bluestone slabs that were originally neatly inlaid together, and turning them into uneven roads.
Li Xiuzhu only stayed for a moment, then continued to follow the big man in front of him and continued to walk inside, and when he walked in front of the largest building, the big man stopped: "Hero!
Nodding, Li Xiuzhu directly pushed the door open.
This room is facing the gate, close to the inside, is Li Xiuzhu's grandfather, that is, the room of the owner of this courtyard, there are two floors, the first floor is the hall for receiving guests, and the second floor is where Li Xiuzhu's grandfather lives.
Unlike the hall that you enter, the hall here is smaller, but the people who can come here must be very important people, because this two-story building is originally within the boundaries of the inner house.
There was a fire in the hall, and the flames lit up the somewhat gloomy room, and as Li Xiuzhu opened the door, several people sitting around the flames inside squinted their eyes together.
Above the flame, there was a rabbit that had been roasted to a crisp brown, and the grease dripped on the flame, making a "snort" sound.
"Ergouzi!Who is this?!" The person who asked the question was a middle-aged man sitting in front of the door, his long hair seemed to have been unwashed for many years, and he was attached to the top of his head in strands one by one, and his beard seemed to have not been shaved for a long time, although it was not as exaggerated as the big man next to Li Xiuzhu, but he almost covered his mouth, and his beard was sticky with red or yellow color, looking dirty and rude.
"Oh no, Boss.......! You bastards who usually do evil! Today your time of death is here! Hmph! Don't let me lay down your weapons, kneel down!" The big man on Li Xiuzhu's side, that is, the two dogs in the mouth, finally got the opportunity to fake the fox, Li Xiuzhu frowned, but he didn't mean to stop him.
"Ergouzi, are you crazy?!" The man known as the boss stood up and drew his long knife from behind him, and on the other side, the rest of the people also stood up, looking at Ergouzi with fierce eyes, but no one paid attention to Li Xiuzhu.
Ergouzi didn't pay attention to them, but turned his head and looked at him flatteringly: "Hero! If these guys want to kill or chop, it's up to you to make your decision! Hehe, if you're afraid of getting your hands dirty, I can do it for you!"
Li Xiuzhu didn't pay attention to him, he just stared at a short-haired young man in his twenties who also stood up and looked carefully, and the other party's eyes were also a little more puzzled, as if he was recalling something.
"Monster?!" The short-haired young man who was targeted by Li Xiuzhu shouted: "You are the monster back then!"
"What monster?" The boss of the group glanced at Li Xiuzhu: "Horn...... You're a demon?"
The middle-aged man known as the boss didn't wait for Li Xiuzhu to answer anything, he raised his hand: "Put away the knives." The...... What do you want to do here? We don't think we're your opponents, so ...... As long as it doesn't kill us, we can listen to you. ”
"Boss!" the hesitant man with a knife next to him looked back at their boss, as if he did not understand the leader's orders.
"Okay, put down the knife, this is a guest!"
At this point, a few people put down the knife in their hands according to their words, but they still kept a pair of eyes firmly on Li Xiuzhu, as if they were about to bully him if they didn't agree with each other.
"My name is Zhang Fei, I don't know what to call a hero?" asked his subordinates to put down the knife, and the boss opened his mouth to introduce himself.
Lu Tao: "???"
Isn't the name Zhang Fei next to the second dog more appropriate?
“...... I am Qingzhuzi, a disciple of the Kunlun faction. After being silent for a moment, Li Xiuzhu did not say his name, but directly said the road number.
"Kunlun faction!" Zhang Fei looked at Li Xiuzhu with some surprise: "But the Kunlun faction that cultivates the truth?"
"Boss!" the person next to him asked, "What is the Kunlun Sect, and what is Xiuzhen?"
"Shut up first!" Zhang Fei glared at the person who asked the question, and then looked at Li Xiuzhu again: "Qingzhuzi is a real person, may I ask...... What's the matter with you?"
Li Xiuzhu didn't pay attention to Zhang Fei anymore, he looked at the short-haired young man before: "Are you ...... The townsfolk who went to school with me back then?"
"Yes, I am!" replied, bowing his head respectfully, "I only went to the teacher's lecture later, Qingzhuzi Zhenren." ”
Lu Tao recalled, it seemed that there was indeed such a person in his impression, but it was too long, Lu Tao couldn't remember what this person's name was, Li Xiuzhu on the other side didn't know the other party's name at all, and Lu Tao seemed to have heard it twice at least in the few words he overheard.
"I want to know what happened after that night, do you know?" asked Li Xiuzhu to the short-haired youth.
Listening to Li Xiuzhu's question, Lu Tao mentioned the spirit of twelve, and this paragraph should be the content that skipped that day.
The short-haired young man paused: "My family ran to Wuyang City before those northern barbarians came over, as for what happened after Peach Blossom Town was breached...... I'm sorry I don't know, I just know that by the time the rescue army arrived in Peach Blossom Town, it was already empty, and there was no one alive. ”
"......" Li Xiuzhu fell silent, Lu Tao could feel the depression in Li Xiuzhu's silence, and then, Li Xiuzhu shook his head, and looked at Zhang Fei in the lead: "This was originally my home, can you live somewhere else?"
"It turns out that Qingzhuzi Zhenren, you are also from Peach Blossom Town, of course there is no problem, Qingzhuzi Zhenren, let's leave!" Zhang Fei nodded hurriedly, and then took down the roasted golden rabbit from above the flame: "Qingzhuzi Zhenren...... If you don't dislike it, this roast rabbit is for you!"
"That's our ......, boss!"
"Shut up!" Zhang Fei shouted angrily at the person who spoke, turned his head, and still had a flattering smile: "Haha...... Qingzhuzi is a real person, these guys under me are used to being free, don't meet them. If you fancy this roast bunny, take it!"
Li Xiuzhu nodded and took the roast rabbit in Zhang Fei's hand.
"So, Qingzhuzi Zhenren! Let's leave, and if there's anything we need to do, we'll be next door. By the way, Qingzhuzi is a real person...... This second dog is not a good thing, let me take it with me, right?"
"You feel free. Li Xiuzhu said to Zhang Fei, and then slapped out the fire on the ground.
"Thank you very much! Qingzhuzi is a real person!" After speaking, Zhang Fei flew to the big man who called Ergouzi to take a look.
Seeing Zhang Fei looking over, Ergouzi immediately knelt down: "Hero! Qingzhuzi is a real person! Help! Boss! I was wrong! Can you spare me this time? I'm not ...... I'm not here to get you a living!"
"Okay!" Li Xiuzhu waved his hand: "It's okay to take him away, but you can't hurt his life, you guys go out!"
"Yes! Qingzhuzi is a real person!Let's leave!" Zhang Fei heard Li Xiuzhu's eviction order, so he immediately turned around and left, and easily picked up the two dogs who looked extremely strong and took them away.
Lu Tao was a little surprised, he didn't expect Zhang Fei, who looked so bad, to be able to pick up a big man effortlessly, and he was really unseemly.
When Zhang Fei and his men all left, except for the still smoking bonfire in the center of the house, the place became deserted again, and a lonely smell emanated from the surrounding furnishings, although most of the furnishings were actually gone, only the wooden tables and chairs that were not very valuable were still in place, and most of them were either missing a leg or half of it.
Li Xiuzhu looked at the golden rabbit in his hand and took a bite on it.
