1484 The Penultimate Story (4)
Put two spoons from it, there is absolutely no rice and flour porridge bottom, plus the hungry nest prepared by the boss himself, it is the food that Gu Zheng and the beggars opened this morning.
Ordinary people, small businesses, it is impossible to give it to a beggar without eating big white noodles.
Even if the business is sluggish, Boss Chen will bring the rest back home.
For this harvest, the fourth beggar is very satisfied.
He took Gu Zheng back to the mouth of the alley, and distributed it as soon as he sat down.
"Oh, don't say that I bullied you, although you did the work, but I said it. Half for one person. ”
After breaking it open, it was also compared and given Gu Zheng's smaller half.
This is really a hierarchical and orderly gang with abnormal love.
Because he was too hungry, Gu Zheng didn't even have the mood to express his dissatisfaction, he stuffed this piece of steamed bread that was not a big one into his mouth, and poured a mouthful of soup while he was about to choke.
This is the feeling of food filling that has not been seen for a long time, and when Gu Zheng looked up at the sky with the eaves like the beggars next to him, he fully felt the happiness of being a salted fish.
This is probably the reason why the beggar disciples would rather spend a day basking in the sun and being hungry than going to the dock to fight against the bag.
But this kind of lifestyle suitable for beggars is really too inappropriate for Gu Zheng now.
He urgently needs more attention, be comfortable, and make himself stronger, and after learning that there are traces of immortal cultivation in this world, this idea is becoming more and more powerful.
Just when Gu Zheng was thinking about what he should do, he saw the beggar who was acting alone walking in the direction where he was.
"Boss!"
The beggar, who knew how to learn officialdom very well, immediately got up, and when he was holding up the broken bamboo pole and waving his hand to the beggar's head, suddenly, from the other end of the street, which had become noisy, there was a rushing sound of horses' hooves.
"Da Da Da ......"
A convoy of four or five horses rushed through it, and the people and traders who could not avoid it fled in confusion.
The beggar with his back to the group is on the road of this group of people after all.
Looking at this posture, the beggar was about to be trampled on the stone pavement of the street by a raised horse's hooves in the next second.
"Oh no! boss!!"
Witnessing this sudden beggar, the four let out a terrible cry.
And Gu Zheng, who tried to rescue the other party, rushed past the opponent's 'dog beating stick' and pounced forward.
Not good!
Gu Zheng just made a move, and he discovered the limitations of this body.
His weak body, combined with his unqualified and uncoordinated limbs, made it impossible for him to perform the movements that he had been able to do as soon as he arrived in several worlds.
The strength of his forward pounce was too small, and he was afraid that before the beggar's movements could change, he fell down first.
What if you tried using a stick in your hand?
Just when Gu Zheng's mind was running at a high speed and thinking of countermeasures, the beggar, who seemed to be more silent than majestic, was about to touch his back when the horse's hooves were about to touch his back...... A very correct response was made.
He quickly fell to the ground and rolled towards the relative safety of the street.
But it wasn't enough! his muscles and reflexes didn't allow him to escape unscathed.
Although it is not miserable to be directly trampled on the back, it is inevitable to rub flesh and blood and even hurt muscles and bones.
But this reaction was just right for Gu Zheng, who wanted to help.
The stick he handed forward instantly changed its angle, changing the action of blocking to the act of dialing, and pushing hard against the back of the beggar's head, which was not big enough, made the opponent's original rolling position a little wrong.
That's it......
'Da!'
The horse's hooves stomped on the stone slabs, shaking the dust on them, and the rolling back on one side was almost separated from it.
"Whew!!
The beggar didn't understand all this, and let out a cheer for the beggar's escape from death.
Because of this rescue, he lay on the ground, but he looked at the beggar who was about to sit up after rolling around.
The two of them tacitly agreed, but laughed at the same time.
From the other party's eyes, Gu Zheng could see that from now on, the beggar would accept him as his own.
That's a good sign, isn't it?
Gu Zheng, who looked at -983, was pulled up by the hand handed over by the beggar.
The other party patted him on the back and snorted at the beggar, let the two of them enter the street sidewalk, and told each other what had just happened.
The earth-shattering deeds of their beggars were insignificant in the eyes of those horsemen who were dancing their teeth and claws, and even if they almost trampled a person to death just now, they didn't stop much.
When the three beggars turned to the corner, the group drove their horses past as if nothing had happened.
"Bad luck!"
These were the last words that the man on horseback had left for them.
When the beggar was angry and was about to stand up and spit on this group of bastards who came out of nowhere, he was pulled back by the beggar, and when he confirmed that the other party had run away, he told the identities of several people.
"Don't provoke them, they are members of the helmsman of the Black Flower Society, I heard that they were in the helm of Huaicheng, and all eighty-eight people died tragically overnight. ”
"After the Yamen filed the case, they couldn't find even a single clue. ”
"Those people are the masters sent down from the helmsman of Fengducheng, and they specially rushed to the rudder to investigate the situation. ”
"In this case, we must not get involved, there are only a few of us in the rudder force of the beggar gang here, don't become the same as the people of the Black Flower Society. ”
This huge amount of information made Gu Zheng confused, but the beggars on the side could continue to say: "This is all from the yamen to ventilate us?"
"So did Ma Yatou give us any clues or tasks?"
Looking at the beggar's longing face, the beggar nodded, he took out a string of copper coins made of straw from his arms, and handed it to the beggar's hand: "Yes, report all the information of the Jianghu people who have come to Huaicheng recently to the ears of Lao Ma." ”
"That's what we're paid for. ”
For the deeper meaning, the beggars in charge of a gang's economic affairs are too lazy to understand.
As soon as he grabbed the copper coin handed over by the beggar, he hid in a small corner and babbled to calculate how the money should be spent.
But Gu Zheng tentatively continued to ask: "Boss, are we really disciples of the Beggar Gang?" I, I just thought that all the big brothers were just like me. ”
"Since the eldest brothers are all people who do big things, why did they let me live in a broken temple with you in the first place?"
But the beggar who heard this laughed.
"You originally lived in that ruined temple, but we came later. ”
"What's more, the concept of the beggar gang is that no matter what identity you are at the beginning, as long as you step into the business of asking for food, you will be a member of our beggar gang no matter what. ”
"Helping each other and not bullying the weak is the purpose of our beggar gang. ”
"We are neither good nor evil, and we don't help each other, but because we are all poor people who make trouble. ”
"Also," the beggar paused when he said this, "You have that face, and it can be said that you are invincible to all evils." ”
"At that time, the ruined temple was far away in the wasteland, but nothing strange had ever happened, and when we saw you in the past, we felt that it was all thanks to the help of your face. ”
"So, why are we going to chase you away? ”
Gu Zheng, who listened to it, kept rolling his eyes, but it was a pity that he himself was a three-white eye, with amazing black pupils, and the beggar didn't understand his mood at all.
"Alright, now we're going to assign the task well, you guys ...... like this"
After assigning several major entrances and exits to the city, Gu Zheng mastered the operation mode of their beggar gang and several books.
The beggars only inquire about the news and pass on the news, but when it comes to deeper secrets, they absolutely turn a blind eye.
They are just porters of nature, not like the group of pretentious people in Tianji Pavilion, who hate dogs like high-level paparazzi.
Although many gangs have approached the beggars, the information they get is very scattered and insignificant.
But the success or failure of something, looking for people, things, clues, and beggars is still very cost-effective.
This is the normal way for their gang to keep running, if they just ask for food, then these big men are not as nourishing as they are now.
And if so, then just do it.
In the next seven or eight days, Gu Zheng relied on his keen observation ability and a three-dimensional map equivalent to cheating, and touched the entire Huaicheng.
He was able to follow the clues and be able to set most things in a magical ability that was highly valued by Gao Yatou, and in the process of contacting Gu Zheng again, he tentatively made a private deal with Gu Zheng.
"Little Five, help me do something?"
Gu Zheng refused without thinking about it: "No, the beggar gang has the rules of the beggar gang, and I don't want to be kicked out of the beggar gang for helping you do things." ”
There is not a single covering tile, and the body has not yet healed.
I'm crazy and I'm going to help you.
But this Ma Yatou still didn't intend to give up: "I can only ask you for this." ”
"As soon as that group of people came to Huaicheng, the people on our yamen were greeted one by one, telling us to stay away from the people of the Black Flower Society. ”
"But Xiao Wu, I have a last resort, and it is important for me to find out what those people from the helm have discovered. ”
Looking at the middle-aged man wearing a gray-black official costume, Gu Zheng took a deep breath: "Then you have to tell me how to help you." ”
"If I can't do it or think it's too dangerous, I won't say yes. ”
Hearing that Gu Zheng's tone was showing signs of loosening, Ma Yatou hurriedly followed: "No, it's definitely not something you can't do." ”
"I just want you to get close to the rudder of the former Black Flower Society, and see what the people you see coming in and out of there are like. ”
"It's best to be able to listen to those people in one ear. ”
"It's that simple?" Gu Zheng was very strange.
"It's that simple!" Ma Yatou nodded affirmatively.
There must be some reason why it is inconvenient for Ma Yatou to do it by himself, but just listening to this description, this task is still done by himself.
Since you plan to do the next, you have to make some requests.
"Well, I can't promise you anything, I can only go and have a look. ”
"You need to pay some deposit in advance, I need some medicinal herbs for my bones. ”
"When it's done, you pay me the rest." ”
"Don't worry, the lion won't open his mouth, the price of five cotton clothes, plus the medicine money of a hanging of herbs. How's that? Reasonable, right?"
Ma Yatou nodded at this, and he happily gave Gu Zheng a half first.
The medicine money plus the expenses for a trip, the rest is Gu Zheng's deposit.
'Jingle, jingle. ’
Gu Zheng only needed to shake it in his hand, and he knew that Ma Yatou only gave a few points more than the number he said.
Gu Zheng, who was very satisfied with this, nodded, and left a sentence: "Wait for my news" and disappeared into the flow of people in Huaicheng.
Before he could do this quest, he had to take care of his body briefly.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no Lingchuan River around this Huai City, where herbs were grown, and he could only buy them from the pharmacy in the city, he wouldn't have made such a decision for these two dollars.
As a hard-working beggar disciple, because Gu Zheng always helps the people around him by the way when he walks the streets.
This made the people of the entire civilian settlement know the warm-hearted heart of the beggars.
In addition, after Gu Zheng joined the beggar gang, he fully discussed the essence of the beggars in the beggar gang with the previous big brothers.
Beggars, chivalrous and big, not dirty, smelly, and unapproachable images.
Asking for food cleanly is also a kind of respect for one's own work.
So the beggars were convinced, and a tattered but clean gang of beggars appeared.
This made Gu Zheng walk on the streets of Huaicheng again, even if the degree of disgust and comfort were always alternating up and down, his beauty value was still rising rapidly.
A week is not a long time.
Gu Zheng's beauty value has reached the critical value of -909.
He felt that as long as he broke through the -900 mark, something very remarkable would happen to him.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng stood very quietly by the door of the medicine hall, and beckoned to the little medicine boy who had helped a medicine basket to prevent the other party from throwing the medicinal materials that had just been concocted on the ground.
After a few words to the other party, he handed the little boy enough money for the medicine.
This is what a good beggar must learn.
When others open a store, try not to disturb it.
And Gu Zheng's reward was that after the herbs were caught once a day, the little boy would take the initiative to help him boil them and pour them into the clay bowl he used to beg for food.
For the elementary school children in the pharmacy, this is just a matter of a handful of firewood and a bowl of water, and only he can help Gu Zheng with the things that every medicine catcher can take home.
'Goo-dong, goo-dong. ’
The medicine was boiled well, and after Gu Zheng drank it three times, the feeling of always being weak in his body was finally dispelled a lot.
And just after he drank this course of treatment, there was a flash of coolness in his sea of consciousness.
A number that changed a color appeared in front of his eyes-888, allowing Gu Zheng to get the effect he wanted.
These bowls of medicine are really useful, and this Fengyue Secret Record Treasure Book is really a magical book.
The two-pronged approach, improving oneself and absorbing mental power, can affect one's own state.
It's a wonderful improvement.
Just as Gu Zheng slowly opened his eyes, about to cheer for this promotion, a tingling sensation began to spread throughout his body.
It's an itching sensation coming from the bone marrow.
It's very slight, and it doesn't last long.
When this indescribable itching passed, Gu Zheng took a 'poof' mouthful, and a large mouthful of black blood squirted out of his mouth.
"Ha!" Gu Zheng, who wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, only felt that his body and bones were a little lighter.
This is probably the kind of benign feedback that the body can receive after breaking through a 100 rank.
It's a little, but it's enough.
As a healer, he could feel this transformational change.
If his body was described as an overdrawn void before, now he can be promoted to the level of a void man.
The brain's instructions the body can barely keep up and move on to his next move.
Gu Zheng, who washed his face by the stream, said a word to the beggar who was sleeping in a daze in the broken temple, picked up a very smooth stick he sharpened, and walked towards the rudder of the Black Flower Society, which was still three miles away from the broken temple.
At this stage when he was taking medicine to recuperate, Gu Zheng walked around the neighborhood in a circle.
According to the feedback from the map, Gu Zheng found a very interesting phenomenon.
That is, these chief helmsmen from Fengdu City have never gone out since they came to the realm of the rudder.
They were wandering around in the small rudder villa, as if they were looking for something.
And the only way for them to contact the outside world is to be the grain merchants and vegetable farmers in Huaicheng City.
So, what are they looking for?
Gu Zheng, who had already hidden in the large yellow bamboo forest behind the villa, searched according to the trajectory of this group of people.
A group of five of them, basically gathered in the room of the helmsman.
"Bedroom, bedroom ......"
Gu Zheng, who was close to this villa for the first time, subconsciously turned on the three-dimensional scanning of Xiaowangshu.
But when I unconsciously swept to the floor, I found the clue of that room.
Beneath the floor of this room, there is a hidden mechanism.
The connection between the organ and the outside world turned out to be only a slender hole.
Going down this hole, there is a space large enough to fit a person.
In that space, Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes, and there was a person lying flat.
No, the person was just a corpse at this point.
This person is dressed up, and he is wearing the symbol of the Black Flower Society, just like the person who is still looking for things in the room.
Looking at the other details of the corpse, the bones are thick, the body is strong, and although the face has turned purple and shows slight signs of decay, it is also a heroic posture.
There is something in the hand.
