Chapter 7: Distress

"What, a gold coin, why don't you grab it, we don't get that much money from selling fish", hearing this, the little girl who was clinging to Meng Xu couldn't help but raise her little head to look at Hu Laoer, and said dissatisfied.

"Hehe, I don't have any money, I can use you to lower the price, little girl", Hu Lao Er rubbed his hands and looked at the little girl greedily.

"I, I, I'm not a cargo nickname?", there was the presence of Meng Xu next to the consciousness road, and the little girl was a little bold.

Seeing the little girl's cute appearance, Hu Laoer's eyes lit up!

Seeing this, Meng Xu was even more sure that Hu Lao Er was not here for the so-called protection fee at all, and her main target was the little girl!

"Hmph", Meng Xu snorted, turned around to protect the little girl, pushed away the ruffians who surrounded them, and took the little girl away.

The ruffians who were surrounding him, where he thought that Meng Xu, who didn't look strong, would have such great strength, was pushed by Meng Xu, and suddenly felt a huge force coming, staggered back a few steps, and fell to the ground.

Hu Lao Er was stunned at first when he saw this scene, and then he was furious: "Chicken head, did you lie on that girl last night, it's really useless!"

The face of the chicken head sitting on the ground couldn't help but turn red, jumped up, caught up with Meng Xu, picked up the stick and hit Meng Xu's head hard, and said viciously: "Stinky boy, shame on Lao Tzu, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you."

"Ah", the little girl screamed in fear.

The movement of the chicken head may be fast to ordinary people, but in Meng Xu's eyes, it seems so slow. Looking at the hideous face, Meng Xu's eyes couldn't help but be cold, and he raised his hand to catch the stick that was quickly knocked down.

The chicken head pumped the wooden stick hard, but there was no response, a drop of cold sweat appeared in his head, swallowed his saliva, and said, "You...... Don't mess around......."

After finishing speaking, he saw a huge fist appear in front of his eyes, and then his eyes went black, and he flew up, feeling the sharp pain in his face, and couldn't help crying and screaming.

Seeing the figure of the chicken head flying upside down, listening to his exaggerated screams, Hu Lao Er felt as if his face had been slapped hard, hot and painful, and furious: "Damn, hack this kid to death for me"!

Hearing the boss's order, the remaining young men immediately took out the machetes on their bodies and rushed towards Meng Xu with a loud shout.

"Brother, hurry up and run", the little girl's face was full of fear and anxiety, and she wanted to pull Meng Xu to run with her, but when she saw that Meng Xu didn't react at all, she was even more anxious.

Touching the little girl's hair, Meng Xu comforted: "Girl, don't be afraid, my brother is very powerful", looking at Meng Xu's doting eyes, the fear in the little girl's heart slowly dissipated, and her mood stabilized!

In just a moment, the young men with machetes had already come to Meng Xu, and then slashed at Meng Xu. In the sunlight, the machetes glowed with a terrifying light, forcing people to close their eyes in fear.

"Oh, what a sin."

"Pity the siblings"

"This evil Hu Er, who can subdue him?"

......

Many passers-by have already covered their faces, not wanting to see this tragic scene, looking at the appearance of everyone who dared to be angry but did not dare to come up, Hu Lao Er suddenly became full of spirit: "Little ones, chop that kid for me so that he knows the consequences of provoking us."

Just when the onlookers thought that Meng Xu was about to be cut to blood, a scream came into their ears, this is really a crime!

No, that doesn't sound right, I feel like I'm hearing a few different screams.

Suddenly opened his eyes, looked forward, couldn't help but froze, wiped his eyes, and looked again, stupid!

Hu Lao Er swallowed his saliva, looking at the subordinate who fell to the ground and kept screaming, he knew that he had kicked the iron plate this time, and he couldn't help but be a little scared in his heart, and he retreated.

However, just as he wanted to escape, with a 'whoosh', Meng Xu had stopped in front of him, so frightened that Hu Lao Er took a few steps back, broke out in a cold sweat, and said with a strong face: "You, you, don't come here, you will definitely not have a good result if you provoke me."

Meng Xu looked at Hu Lao'er, who looked frightened and kept retreating, wanting to take the opportunity to escape, and couldn't help but play with the taste: "Oh, yes."

After speaking, he kicked Hu Laoer's right knee, and with a "click", Hu Laoer's foot bent strangely.

"Ahh

If he were still an ordinary person, he would definitely be planted here today, and the little girl would definitely not be spared, thinking of this, the cold color on Meng Xu's face was even worse!

Another "click" sounded, Meng Xu stepped on Hu Laoer's left leg again, and the severe pain made Hu Laoer's eyes bulge, and he opened his mouth silently, fainting in pain!

Passers-by looked at this scene in disbelief, and after a period of silence, they suddenly let out cheers from the sky!

"Little brother, hurry up and go, there is someone above Hu Lao Er", an old man reminded.

Seeing that there were officers and soldiers coming over in the distance, Meng Xu thanked him, and then pulled up the little girl and left quickly.

As the sun sets, the tall and short figures are pulled to the elders!

......

"Those people are really bad, it's okay brother, you don't matter", the little girl carefully checked Meng Xu's whole body, and when she found that Meng Xu was not harmed, she breathed a sigh of relief and muttered.

Scratching the little girl's nose dotingly, Meng Xu smiled: "My brother is an immortal, how can he be injured?"

night

The little girl squatted on the edge of the field, clasped her knees with her hands, and looked at the stars in the sky in a daze, but her eyes gradually turned red.

Seeing the little girl like this, Meng Xu was very distressed, squatted down, looked at the little girl's big red eyes, and asked with concern: "What's going on?"

The little girl didn't have any reaction, she still kept looking at the sky in a daze, and after a while, she buried her head in her knees, and said with some crying: "I miss my brother."

"Whew", Meng Xu breathed a sigh of relief, touched the little girl's hair, and said, "I miss my brother, I understand that Brother Meng Xu took you to him, okay?"

Meng Xu remembered that the little girl said that his brother was a soldier of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, and it was time to meet the little girl's own brother.

"Wow", the little girl cried and threw herself into Meng Xu's arms, Meng Xu was a little overwhelmed, patted the little girl's back, and said, "What's wrong, isn't it good to go to see my brother?"

The little girl cried for a while, and then she raised her little head to look at Meng Xu, her eyes were red, and she said, "My brother is gone, and tomorrow is his sacrifice day."

Time stood still, and everything around was silent!

"Can I tell my brother?", looking at the little girl's teary eyes, Meng Xu was very distressed, wiped the tears that slipped from the little girl's head, and whispered softly.

Listening to the little girl's crying and crying, Meng Xu gradually understood what happened.

It turned out that the little girl's brother was called Wang Xing, and Wang Xing was indeed an imperial soldier.

Two years ago, the Black Dragon Empire violated the borders of the Celestial Dragon Empire and committed heinous crimes on the borders of the Celestial Dragon Empire, they burned, killed and looted, and did everything, bringing misery to the people in the cities on the border of the Celestial Dragon Empire.

In order to defend the country and expel the invaders, the Celestial Dragon Empire threw a large number of soldiers into the border, and Wang Xing was among them.

After several months of fighting, the Celestial Dragon Empire finally defeated the Black Dragon Empire and defended the dignity of the country.

Although it was said that the Celestial Dragon Empire had won this time, it also paid a huge price, as far as the soldiers alone were concerned, they sacrificed 200,000!

This day was a day of bad news for the little girl, because her brother was one of the 200,000 soldiers.

When the bad news came from the government, the little girl felt that the sky had fallen at this moment, and she had no idea what the officers and soldiers sent by the government to comfort were talking about.

She only knows that the brother who loves her, protects her, and shelters her from the wind and rain is gone...... Gone forever, I can no longer hear his gentle and caring voice, woo.....

Meng Xu looked at the little girl in her arms distressedly, when her brother died, this little girl was only ten years old, at first glance when she heard the bad news from each other's dependence and the only relative, I am afraid it will be very sad, very sad!

"Girl, isn't there still Brother Meng Xu, Brother Meng Xu will be your brother in the future"

"Well, Brother Meng Xu, you are so good, in fact, I am not sad for a long time, I want to be happy every day, because my brother has always lived in my heart and has never left me,

I don't want my brother to see my sad appearance, tonight is just an exception, because tomorrow is my brother's sacrifice day, thinking of my brother's goodness, I can't help it, hehe."

"Brother, accompany Xiao Yan to worship my brother tomorrow, okay?"

"Well, okay, listen to Xiao Yan"
