Chapter 384
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and the sky was gloomy on this day, with clouds and mist hanging overhead, and a slight drizzle gradually drifting in the air, but even so, it did not affect the crowd shuttling in and out of the city. The cries of the vendors, the bargaining of the women in the market, and the sounds of children frolicking or crying are noisy but also very lively.
And at such a harmonious moment, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded in the crowd, which seemed arrogant and rude, and I saw several military servants with swords at their waists rushing forward, pushing and shoving all the way, but whenever they saw a man in his thirties, he must grab it and take a closer look, and he will catch it.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way—"
The leader of the group pushed away the people in front of him with impatience, and the pedestrians on the road couldn't help but fall on the roadside vendors because they were not in a hurry to dodge, and pushed the hot buns to the ground.
"Oh, my bun—"
The little beggar hiding in the corner saw the steaming fresh meat bun, and he couldn't help the hunger in his belly, hesitated and struggled for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth, and jumped out of the crowd like an arrow off the string, and as soon as his hand reached the bun, he hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth, and by the way, he didn't forget to quickly carry the few rolling next to him into his arms.
When the soldier at the head saw that there was such a desperate person in front of him, he also said "hey-" with great interest, and slowly stepped forward, and when the little beggar was still immersed in the taste of meat buns and couldn't extricate himself, he actually threw a foot into his heart without mercy, and when everyone was frightened and gasped, the little beggar was kicked and flew backwards, his back was heavily propped up on the pillar, and the buns he had just swallowed were all spit out.
The soldier was originally a person who practiced martial arts, and he used all his strength again, but at this moment he only kicked the little beggar's chest, and even breathing became a problem, his face was flushed, but his hands were firmly stuck on his neck, and his feet couldn't help kicking, as if he was in extreme pain, but he couldn't speak.
"You kid has the guts, and you dare to steal food at the feet of your master-"
Hearing the sneer of the military service, the little beggar, although extremely uncomfortable, still frowned, and bit almost word by word: "I didn't steal—"
When the man selling steamed buns saw this, he was a little reluctant, but when he looked at the group of soldiers standing there, he dared to say more, so he had to swallow his words back and look at the beggar sympathetically.
Seeing that the little beggar's face gradually turned purple from red to purple at this moment, and when he had more air in and less air out, the people around him couldn't help but be a little scared and said, "Shouldn't I die-"
Just when everyone was hanging their hearts, a man dressed in ordinary clothes and wearing a hat suddenly appeared in the crowd at some point, and at this moment, he slowly walked towards the beggar in the eyes of everyone who were both shocked and worried.
The soldier frowned slightly, and a touch of danger gradually appeared in his eyes, but the man seemed to be unconscious, just squatted beside the little beggar, raised his hand to the beggar's back is a palm, and the next moment, the beggar leaned forward, and suddenly spit out a lot of filth, coughing, almost tears coming out.
When everyone couldn't help but take a few steps back, the little beggar's face gradually turned for the better, as if he had suddenly breathed freely, and he collapsed there, panting again and again, as if he had just come out of the ghost gate.
"Alright, alright—"
In the surprise of the crowd of onlookers, the man stood up silently, turned around and was about to leave, the little beggar hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and shed tears of gratitude: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, benefactor-"
The man didn't seem to hear it, so he just walked forward, but the next moment, he stopped, because the road in front of him was blocked, and he himself was already surrounded by those soldiers.
At this moment, the people were silent again, and they all looked over with some fear, but the military servant who was the leader stepped forward unhurriedly and said, "What are you?"
Seeing that the back in front of him was calm and did not speak, the military service turned to step forward, and only then did he see the person opposite clearly, and his eyes suddenly flashed with disdain, but he was just an ordinary person in his thirties, and then looked at this ordinary dress, he had no scruples.
"Dare to show off in front of our masters, it's not a small amount of courage——"
The soldier poked the shoulder of the man in front of him with the scabbard in his hand rather carelessly, and was making sarcastic remarks, but when he was halfway through his words, the man did not know when to make his hand, and even he did not notice it, and the next moment, the scabbard in his hand was still there, but the knife flew past his ear, and Li Shengsheng cut his hair and stuck it tightly in the stake behind him, not moving at all, only the sound of the knife trembling.
The soldier's face turned pale, and his feet couldn't help but soften, and when the people were dumbfounded, he gradually came back to his senses, and the next moment, his roar sounded throughout the street: "Catch him, this is the gang of fugitives, catch him!"
As soon as the words fell, the military service that surrounded the man immediately reacted, and rushed up, only to hear the sound of the sword clashing immediately, and the man was counted by one enemy, but he was at ease, just when the military service leader was sluggish, he suddenly remembered something, and motioned to several other people with his eyes to surround the man, and when the man was busy with the battle, he quietly attacked from behind.
I heard the man snort and half-kneel, and when the soldiers saw that the opportunity had come, they put their knives on the man's neck.
"Tied people up to me. ”
When the man was firmly locked, the leader laughed sinisterly and mockingly, and stepped forward and kicked the man hard, trampling him in the dust.
"Fight, you still give me a look, and dare to be a hero in front of me, and don't see if there is that life?"
Speaking of this, the leader was still angry, and kicked a few more times, and then lazily said: "Send me back to the yamen prison, and I'll see how he beats him." ”
Seeing that righteous and awe-inspiring righteous man being trampled on in this way, everyone present couldn't help but sigh, and worries gradually rose in their hearts.
"It's only been a few days since it was settled, and the soldiers who captured people are here again, so how can we live. ”
Hearing the sad and angry sighs of the people beside him, the old vegetable seller with a white beard said: "If this person can't be caught, where can he be safe? A few days ago, it was just because there was a Qincha from the capital passing by, but now that the Qincha is gone, who cares if we live or die? Poor just from that strong man, into the prison of the Yamen, and offended such a master, whether he can come out alive is also a question." ”
Speaking of this, the old farmer couldn't help but sigh with regret, shook his head and left.
