Approaching dusk, the blood-like remnant sun hid in the clouds, dyeing the clouds red, as if a river of blood hung in the sky, and a few white birds flew in and out of the clouds from afar, looking so creepy, like dry bones in the river of blood, telling people their grievances.

Shenwu Kingdom, at the gate of Yong'an Town, there was a young man covered in blood, and the young man couldn't stop whispering: "..... It's cold... It hurts... Where am I, who am I?"

Passers-by, looking at the scarred boy, covered their noses in disgust, and walked quickly away from here towards the city.

The captain of the guard, who had just finished changing shifts at the city gate, saw the young man not far away, and secretly cursed, and made a look at his subordinates, and his subordinates nodded slightly after seeing it, came to the young man's side, and cursed in a low voice: "If you want to die, die far away, don't be an eyesore here." After speaking, the boy didn't react, and in a fit of rage, he kicked the boy into the corner, and with a muffled bang, the boy crashed into the wall and passed out directly, and there was a blood mark on the place where he rolled, which looked so shocking.

People come and go at the city gate, there are talking and laughing, the young man lies there quietly, as if he has become a transparent person, even if there is blood under his body, still no one cares, only the portrait posted on the city wall to see the young man lying there, falling off the wall, fluttering, falling on the young man to help him warm.

It was getting late, pedestrians were becoming scarce, Yang Er, a beggar who had been busy for a day, walked out of the city with the food he had begged for a day, and when he passed by the city gate, he saw the boy lying in the corner, he was slightly stunned, stood in place and hesitated, and walked towards the boy.

When he came to the boy's side, he squatted down to check it out, and found that he was still alive, and although his breathing was a little weak, if he was treated, he would not be able to die.

But he is not related to the other party, and he doesn't know anything about him, if this son is a vicious man, wouldn't he have done a wrong thing by saving him by himself.

The old beggar struggled for a long time, looked down at the wounds on the young man's body and the scars on his face, as if he saw himself who had been abused back then, and sighed in his heart: "The world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient. They are all miserable people, and if I don't help, you will die. ”

After the old beggar finished speaking, he did not hesitate, put the crockpot for the meal on the ground, laboriously pulled the young man up and carried it on his back, holding the crockpot in one hand and the young man in the other, and walked towards the outside of the city with a slow step, but did not notice the blood-stained paper that was sandwiched on the young man's clothes.

The captain of the guard at the city gate looked at the old beggar and laughed shamefully: "I want to eat, and I still care so much, it seems that the people of Yong'an are too kind to let him go hungry." After speaking, he spat at the old beggar with disdain, and after listening to it, all his subordinates looked at the old beggar who bowed his head and laughed, as if laughing at him for not measuring his own strength.

As if he had not heard their words, the old beggar carried the young man on his back and continued to walk, one old and one young, facing the starry sky, out of the town, the breeze shook the treetops, awakening the insects on the trees, and a burst of intermittent insect chirping came out, with two figures stretched by the moonlight. Unspeakable desolation.

The city gate behind them slowly closed after the old and the young left the city, like a huge barrier locking the two out of the world.....

No one noticed that the boy on the wanted notices posted everywhere in and around the city looked so much like the boy on the back of the old beggar.

The old beggar took the young man back to an uninhabited dilapidated house outside the city, and after entering the house, the old beggar put the young man on the hay mat, looked down at the other party's body full of blood and mud, sighed, turned around and came to the house, picked up a wooden bucket by the door, came to the well in the courtyard, laboriously drew a bucket of water, carried the bucket into the house, first helped the young man take off his clothes, and then wiped the young man's body.

The severe pain made the unconscious young man frown, and when the old beggar saw this, he reduced the force of wiping in his hand, and looked at the young man's brows gradually stretched, and the old beggar secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After wiping the blood stains off the young man's body, he looked at the scars all over his body, and said distressedly: "Hard-working child, you still have a long way to go in the future, and you must live." After speaking, he took out the herbs and carefully applied them to the boy's wound.

After taking the medicine, seeing the painful look on the young man's face disappear, Yang Er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bent down to pick up the young man's clothes, and habitually shook the dust on the clothes with his hands, but was attracted by a blood-stained paper stuck to the clothes, the old beggar took it down curiously, just glanced at it, and sat on the ground in fright, not even knowing that the clothes in his hand were thrown out.

It took a long time for the old beggar to reluctantly recover, and the first thing he did after recovering was to take the portrait in his hand to the haystack and compare it with him in front of the young man's face.

The more the old beggar looked at it, the more frightened he became, his hands trembled unconsciously, the portrait was shaking, the edge kept scraping the young man's face, the young man subconsciously scratched his face with his hand, the old beggar thought that the young man was awake, screamed in fright, and ran out desperately.

The old beggar dared to turn back after running for more than ten minutes, and when he saw that the young man did not chase after him, he let out a long breath, sat on the ground with his ass, and pressed his chest with both hands to soothe his fast-beating heart, which was too thrilling for him just now.

He didn't expect that he had really saved a bad guy, and the other party was still a big villain who killed the whole family.

The portrait he picked up just now was a wanted warrant, which clearly stated that the fugitive Erniu was wanted for killing a family of 11 in Donglin Village.

Yang Er couldn't imagine that such a young boy would be so ruthless, if he grew up, he might be a demon king who would bring disaster to the world.

Another point Yang Er didn't say, the wanted warrant clearly wrote that as long as this person is caught, or there are clues about this person to assist the yamen in catching him, he can be rewarded with 1,000 gold coins! The huge amount of money made Yang Er feel a little impulsive.

Thinking of this, Yang Er turned around and ran directly towards Yong'an Town, all the way to Yong'an Yamen, Yang Er hesitated, because he knew about the matter with the town mayor, and everyone in the Yamen knew that he was afraid that he would be beaten out before he went in to report to the official.

Just when Yang Er hesitated, a messenger wearing an official uniform walked out of the gatehouse, and after seeing what he was wearing, the messenger scolded loudly: "I see that you have eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and you dare to come here to ask for food, don't you want to live?"

"No, no, I'm not here to ask for food. Yang Er waved his hand again and again, and hurriedly explained, "I saved a teenager yesterday, this person looks very similar to the person on the wanted notice, I came to report to the official." ”

After hearing this, the porter's eyebrows twitched unconsciously, and the original Tie Qing's face completely darkened, and when he looked at the other party carefully, and found that it was Yang Erhou, he sighed in his heart, and said in his heart Why is this mourning star coming.

The porter saw that Yang Er was still talking there, scolded secretly, kicked him in the stomach, and scolded: "Yang Er, I think you are crazy about money, you dare to cheat this kind of money, I don't think you want it anymore." Roll on, hurry up and get out of the way. ”

Yang Er looked at this person puzzled, he didn't understand what he had done wrong, could it be that just because he was Yang Er, he didn't even have the qualifications to report a wanted criminal?

The porter saw that Yang Er didn't leave no matter how he scolded, and said angrily: "Do you know where Donglin Village is? The official will tell you now, Donglin Village is on the border of the ancestral country, and a rural boy committed a crime in the ancestral country, do you believe that he can escape the layers of arrest of the ancestral country and come to Yong'an Town on the mainland of our Shenwu country? Even if it is impossible for a strong war saint, is it possible for him to be a small fugitive? Besides, the informant is you Yang Er, even if this matter is true, the yamen will not accept it. ”

Yang Er looked at the back of the porter leaving, and said in his heart that if what he said was true, this person really committed something in the country of the ancestors, and he would definitely not be able to escape.

The reason why Shenwu issued a wanted warrant is estimated to be requested by the ancestral country, the three major countries have very close cooperation in criminal matters, one country issues a national wanted warrant, and the other two countries will also issue it in their own countries, the purpose is to prevent fugitives from escaping here and committing crimes again without anyone knowing.

Everyone said that the three major countries could work together on this matter, and the rest of the country was eager to swallow each other alive when they met.

Although he was kicked, his heart was steady, Yang Er walked on the way home, and he was entangled for a long time, the young man he saved looked so similar to a wanted criminal, if he was taken to the top bag, it would be no problem.

But he is soft-spoken, and he is really not such an unscrupulous person for money, otherwise he can't ask for food, although he is still a little worried in his heart, but he will not feel afraid, after all, he does not believe that a teenager can really escape the pursuit and come here. Yang Er felt that he would help the boy heal his injuries first, and let him go as soon as he was healed, he would never get into trouble like him.

After arriving home, he found that the boy was still sleeping, Yang Er breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at the bloody clothes on the ground and the wanted warrant, scolded secretly, picked up the wanted warrant and crumpled it into a ball, threw it in a pile of garbage in the corner, and then lit a fire in the courtyard to cook, set up a pot, filled it with firewood, boiled water, looked at the bowl of brown rice that was just coming today, hesitated, and gently put it aside.

Pick up another bowl, there are some leftovers from yesterday's meal in the bowl, set aside half of it and put it on top of the brown rice, put the other half in the pot, and then the old beggar went back to the house and took out some wild vegetables and put them in the pot, cooked them, and ate them indiscriminately.

He was frightened, beaten, and fled today, and he was already physically and mentally exhausted, so he returned to the house and found a sheltered place from the wind, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
