Chapter 36: Commitments

When Gu Dahai saw that the person in front of him was Long Xingyu, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise, and stepped forward, "Brother Long, when did you arrive at the inn, you are finally not in a hurry...... Something happened, and we have some ideas. ”

"The sea, I already know the matter, I have something very important to do now, let's split up. Long Xingyu glanced at the people in front of him and said indifferently.

"Brother Long, please say something, Xiao Xiao and I are the head of Brother Long. This Gu Dahai is also the most affectionate person, and when he heard Long Xingyu say this, he patted his chest without hesitation and said in a muffled voice.

Looking at the bold Gu Dahai, a warm current in Long Xingyu's heart went straight into the dantian from the soles of his feet.

"Dahai, Jiu'er is a very important person to me, just like Tang Yue, Sister Yun, you and Xiao Xiao and all the people close to me. Long Xingyu looked at everyone and said.

When everyone heard this, their hearts couldn't help but warm, Gu Dahai looked at Fen Xiao Xiao behind him with an impatient expression and said calmly: "Brother Long, just say it directly, my sea is a person who believes in Brother Long."

"Yes, Brother Long, I have to follow you through the rivers and lakes in the future. Feng Xiaoxiao also walked over and echoed.

Long Xingyu looked outside, and the sun was already in the west. Said with a serious expression:

"The sea, the inn is temporarily let Yun Mei and Tang Yue clean up, how about you and Xiao Xiao and I find Jiu'er together?"

"Brother Long, let's split up now. ”

"Brother Long....... Chu Yun stopped Long Xingyu, who was about to go out.

Long Xingyu turned around and looked back at Chu Yun.

Chu Yun continued:

"This Yongxing City is too big, I'm afraid that the three of you will have to look for it separately, this east, west, north and south, two main streets lead directly to the city gate, if it is divided according to the central intersection, this city can be divided into four locations. In this way, the three of you are still one person away, so it is up to me and Tang Gongzi to find the last direction, after all, Miss Jiu'er is currently in danger, and it will not have much impact if the inn is sorted out later. ”

"Sister Yun, you and Tang Yue stay in the inn, in case Jiu'er comes back to the inn, someone will know." Long Xingyu knew that Tang Yue and Chu Yun had no skills, and if they were as dangerous as those people in Gaofu, he naturally couldn't let them take risks, so he said.

"Brother Long....... Chu Yun naturally knew Long Xingyu's intentions.

"Needless to say. Long Xingyu was too lazy to say, and then said to Gu Dahai: "Dahai, let's go." Then the three of them hurried out together.

......

In the broken shed area of "Jiyu Street", Li Jiuer tried to get up from the bed, thinking about getting up and walking around, but her body was too weak, and she hadn't eaten anything nutritious in the past few days, so she only felt dizzy and almost fell.

"Hey, be careful, girl, you're not in good health, you should lie down for a few more days. Aunt He walked in with some vegetarian dishes, and when she saw Li Jiu'er getting up, she hurriedly reproached.

"Grandma He, I ....... Li Jiu'er thought that everyone's life was so difficult, and she had been bothering everyone, thinking of her uncompetitive body, tears flowed out again.

"Alas, what are you crying about, the days are difficult, everyone squeezes each other and passes, ah, don't cry......"

This Yongxing Empire was originally the most powerful kingdom of the five empires, only because of the corruption of officials, especially among the four major families, the Gao family and the Nangong family were the leaders. Emperor Wei Yin is becoming more and more mediocre. As a result, the people were displaced and suffered.

The people living in this "Jiyu Street" are all people who have been oppressed and cornered. There is no land, no income, most of them live by begging, and people often die of hunger and illness.

"Grandma He, what about Grandpa Zhou?" Li Jiu'er didn't see Zhou Laohan in the house and asked softly.

"Alas...... , your grandfather Zhou went to South Street to beg again, where there are more rich people. Aunt He sighed and said helplessly.

"I'm going to see Grandpa. Li Jiu'er has also been clear about the living conditions in "Jiyu Street" in the past few days, thinking that everyone will return the money they have collected to buy medicine, she feels very uncomfortable, thinking of this, she plans to beg herself, everyone can beg, why can.

"You're ....... When Aunt He heard that Li Jiu'er was going to see Zhou Laohan, she naturally wanted to go with her, she understood what this girl was thinking, but she didn't want to break it.

"It's okay, Grandma He, you see I'm doing well. Li Jiu'er swung her body as she spoke, trying to prove it to Aunt He, a shallow dimple appeared on her pale face, and a reluctant smile leaked out.

"Okay, okay, if you want to go, grandma won't stop you, grandma will go with you. Aunt He said repeatedly.

......

The clouds are light and the sun is light, and the wind is cold.

Occasionally, there were a few pedestrians walking through the street, and an old man with gray hair and old armor sat there, with a dilapidated porcelain bowl in front of him, his face full of confusion, helplessness and a little stoic.

"Grandpa Zhou. Li Jiu'er's soft cry interrupted the old man's silence.

Zhou Laohan slowly raised his head and saw that it was Li Jiu'er, and a kind smile appeared on his vicissitudes of life, "Nine girls are here!"

"This girl has to come, so I come with her. Aunt He also touched a bluestone brick next to her, bent down and sat down.

"Grandpa Zhou, I'm with you. After Li Jiu'er finished speaking, she lifted her long skirt and sat down next to Zhou Laohan.

"Okay, okay, huh...... Today, the three of us won't go back if we don't get the money. Old man Zhou said with a smile.

"You dead old man, who and your grandfather, you are almost in the ground, my Aunt He is much younger than you. ”

When Li Jiu'er heard the two arguing, she couldn't help but purse her lips and laughed.

However, few pedestrians on the street threw half a silver coin into the bowl in front of the three people. Most of them shook their heads, sighed softly, or showed a sarcastic and disdainful expression on their faces, and hurried by.

......

Sunset over the West Mountains.

The streets are becoming deserted, and there are fewer and fewer people. The three of them sat side by side with their heads bowed.

At this time, the intersection of South Street.

After half a day of running, Long Xingyu and Gu Dahai had already searched most of the places in Yongxing City, like headless flies, Long Xingyu asked when he saw someone. Helplessly, there was still no news.

Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Long Xingyu said to Gu Dahai, who was exhausted beside him, "Dahai, you and Xiao Xiao go back to the inn first." ”

"Brother Long, there's no way to find it like this, you have to rest your body!" Gu Dahai said in a sullen voice.

"I'm worried about those people in the Gao family, there are still Yun Mei in the inn, you go back to the inn first, and I'll go back later." ”

The three of them separated, and Long Xingyu was ready to go to the last place, which is also a place where normal people don't go, "Jiyu Street", I heard that there are "ruffians and hooligans" and "snakes and dragons" I don't know if it's true or not, Long Xingyu thought about it, and hurriedly walked towards the northwest street.

"Bang Dang ......"

Li Jiu'er was holding her "cooing" stomach and lying on her knees uncomfortably, when she suddenly saw the porcelain bowl in front of her being kicked like a "snail" and couldn't stop for a long time.

She looked up slightly, thinking that it was when the man with no eyes was looking at the road. She froze.

A handsome and dashing young man with a slightly tired and anxious look on his face, holding an ancient long sword in his hand, was looking at himself in a daze, as if he was looking at a treasure weapon that he had never seen.

Long Xingyu didn't care about the sides of the street because he was in a hurry, let alone the porcelain bowl under his feet, and when he was about to say sorry to the beggar on the side of the road, he was stunned.

He didn't speak, and walked towards Li Jiu'er in a daze. He felt as if he had met someone he wanted to protect, even though he and she weren't very familiar before. Nothing matters at this moment.

"Stop me, stinky boy. Aunt He and Old Man Zhou looked at Long Xingyu in front of them and walked towards Li Jiu'er, thinking that he was another frivolous person.

"Grandpa Zhou, he's the ...... I'm looking for. Li Jiu'er stood up and muttered.

"Jiu'er ....... Long Xingyu looked at Li Jiu'er, who had messy hair and pale lips and was wearing a shabby long dress, and cried out in distress.

He knew that she must have been through a lot of things, a lot of sadness, helplessness, despair, and pain.

"Smack....... ”

Li Jiu'er looked at him expressionlessly and didn't speak, but slapped his hand, and then the tears slipped down silently like beads with broken threads.

"Jiu'er ....... Long Xingyu looked at her distressedly, for some reason he felt that if she felt better, he would rather let her slap her a few more times.

"Slap ......",

Li Jiu'er slapped him again, and he got his wish.

Then there was a silent cry, and he took her over his shoulders and let her cry out loud.

She cried darkly, cried heartbreakingly, cried freely, she vented all her grievances, discomfort, and unwillingness in these cries.

"Cry, cry. Long Xingyu gently stroked her broken hair and muttered to herself.

"Stinky boy, let the nine girls cry in the future, I have to fight with you for this old life. ”

Zhou Laohan said with a smile, and turned to look at Aunt He beside him: "Grandma He, what else are you looking at? Let's go back too." ”

"Well, let's go, let's go. ”

With that, the two old men supported each other and walked towards the "Jiyu Street" in the northwest.

Looking at the backs of the two old men, Long Xingyu secretly said in his heart: "No, this is the last time." ”

Halfway through, Li Jiu'er stopped crying, raised her head, wiped the tears on her face, looked at Long Xingyu's red cheeks and said softly, "Does it hurt?"

"Of course it hurts, you hit so hard. Long Xingyu smiled lightly.

"You deserve it, who made you not find me. Li Jiu'er couldn't help but say angrily when she saw that Long Xingyu had become immodest again.

"I know why you relied on me before. ”

"Who's relying on you, hate. Li Jiu'er's small broken fist kept pounding on Long Xingyu's body.

"Are you Wan'er or Jiu'er. Long Xingyu deliberately teased.

"Then are you Senior Brother or Long Xingyu. Li Jiu'er also smiled mischievously.

"You just treat me as your Brother Xingyu, go, Brother Xingyu will take you home. Long Xingyu said and took Li Jiu'er's hand.

"If I don't go, I can't walk. Li Jiu'er looked deliberately angry and stood still. I secretly thought in my heart, "Hmph", don't think about chasing a girl casually.

"Don't you just want your brother Xingyu to carry it? come, brother will carry you. Long Xingyu stood beside Li Jiu'er and leaned down.
