Chapter 1: The White Tiger Gate
The western part of the Floodlands.
It has always been known as the Wind and Sand City.
Li Zhuo's house is in the southeast corner of Wind and Sand City.
Early one morning.
"Zhuo, wake up. ”
It was a middle-aged woman in her forties who spoke.
The Zhuo in her mouth is Li Zhuo.
Li Zhuo worked as an apprentice at a pharmacy in Wind and Sand City.
Working from 9 to 5 every day, Li Zhuo has long been accustomed to this kind of life.
Li Zhuo got up from the bed sleepily.
came to the dining table and snorted.
"Mother, eat this again today!"
In front of him is the 'yam', a specialty of this sand city.
"Hurry up and eat. ”
Li Zhuo's mother didn't have time to talk nonsense with him.
There is also a flock of chickens, ducks and geese in the backyard of the house waiting for her.
Li Zhuo also closed his eyes and forcibly stuffed the yam into his mouth.
Not more than ten points.
Li Zhuo got dressed and walked towards the door.
Before leaving, I didn't forget to pay last month's salary from yesterday's pharmacy.
Placed on the stovetop.
Li Zhuo's mother returned to the house and smiled when she saw this small half of the Yuan Li Stone.
Indeed, Li Zhuo has grown up.
Knowing to take care of the family.
Li Zhuo left the house and walked in the direction of the pharmacy.
There was wind and sand blowing on the road.
The wind of this wind and sand city.
Either don't scrape.
Once the wind picks up, it is simply obscuring the sky.
Li Zhuo saw that the situation was not good.
It's hiding in a sand hole.
The cave is in the shape of a bowl.
It just so that the strong wind and sand are blocked from the outside.
"Brother Zhuo, you're here too. ”
As soon as Li Zhuo entered the sand cave, he heard a familiar voice.
It was a girl of the same age as Li Zhuo who spoke.
"Ruolan, why are you here. ”
Li Zhuo turned around and smiled, that is, returned.
The girl's name is Ruolan.
and Li Zhuo can be said to be childhood sweethearts.
It's just that Li Zhuo's family is poor.
Originally, the two could have been married.
But the parents of both sides have been at a stalemate because of the dowry.
So far, the marriage has not been consummated.
"I, I. ”
Ruolan began to be embarrassed.
"Who is this kid? ”
It turned out to be a swarthy man with five big and three thick who spoke.
I heard the conversation between Li Zhuo and Ruolan.
It was originally hidden behind Ruolan.
At this moment, he also poked his head out and asked impatiently.
"Lady?"
Li Zhuo's face was the same when he heard this, and then there was a trace of resentment in his eyes, and he looked at Ruolan.
"I'm sorry, Brother Zhuo, this is my father's decision. ”
Ruolan lowered her head, and her bright eyes became dim at this moment.
"Okay, excuse me. ”
Li Zhuo basically already knew everything.
Without looking back, he walked towards the outside of the sand cave.
That's when it happened.
Li Zhuo could still hear Ruolan arguing with the swarthy man.
"You're enough. ”
"Who's this kid? ”
Li Zhuo smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Although out of this sand cave.
But the wind and sand outside have not stopped.
Li Zhuo was facing face just now.
At this moment, it will be life and death to face.
I couldn't see the road clearly, and the yellow sand in the sky hit my face.
It's like the scene just now.
A sharp knife stuck in my heart has a taste.
"Follow me. ”
Just when Li Zhuo hesitated.
A voice rang in his ears.
When Li Zhuo heard this, he followed the man and walked forward quickly.
Tens of paces away.
Li Zhuo followed the man into a house.
Wind and sand transit.
People in the city can not take in lone people in the city.
The reason is simple.
Because once opened the door to save people.
Maybe this family will be destroyed by the wind and sand.
Li Zhuoyi entered the house.
I found that there were five or six more people behind me.
Push the door together.
With the joint efforts of several people.
Finally, the door was closed.
"Haha, happy. ”
This voice is the man who told Li Zhuo to follow me just now.
Li Zhuo took a look when he heard the sound.
The man. He is more than eight feet long.
The face was like a knife.
The voice is very deep.
Look at the few people around you who were helping to push the door just now.
They are also strong.
Li Zhuo raised his eyes again.
A plaque hangs above the house.
There are four big characters in the book.
"White Tiger Gate".
Seeing this, Li Zhuo secretly screamed in his heart.
I've heard it mentioned by my parents for a long time.
In this life, he will not enter the White Tiger Gate.
There is no more day to enter the White Tiger Gate.
"What, little brother, are you literate?"
The shaved man saw Li Zhuo finish reading his plaque.
The face was embarrassed.
There was not only a good sneer in my heart.
"Junior, apprentice of Changchun Hall. ”
Li Zhuo immediately bowed and bowed.
"Oh, it turned out to be Dr. Song's apprentice. ”
The knife-scraping man took off his cloak.
A strong man standing around immediately picked it up.
There were still a few grains of sand sporadically dropping from the cloak at the moment.
"Okay, knowing each other is fate, wait for the wind to stop before you leave. ”
The knife shaved man and Li Zhuoyan said.
Then he turned around and walked towards the inner hall.
Li Zhuo also didn't expect that he would be saved so easily.
Stand on the spot.
"I haven't consulted my little brother yet. ”
Seeing this shaved man, he walked into the inner hall.
Several sturdy men who helped push the door also turned to leave.
Only a middle-aged man who looked like he was smiling was left to talk to Li Zhuo.
"Junior, Li Zhuo, I haven't asked Your Excellency what to call him. ”
Li Zhuo cupped his fists and bowed back.
"Brother Li Zhuo, you told us to be faithful and ke. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Fang, disrespectful and disrespectful. ”
Li Zhuo had never heard the name Fang Xinzhong.
"Brother Li Zhuo comes with me. ”
Saying that, Fang Xinzhong settled Li Zhuo in a guest room.
At the time of dinner.
Fang Xinzhong also brought food to Li Zhuo.
This was a surprise to Li Zhuo.
I didn't expect this White Tiger Gate to be so hospitable.
Night.
Just as Li Zhuo was asleep.
I heard shouts of killing outside the door.
After Li Zhuo was awakened.
Immediately get dressed and go to the ground.
Through the crack in the door.
I saw two groups of people slashing and killing.
This gang of people.
It was the man who shaved his face in the morning who saved his life.
The other group was wearing face masks.
The mask looks terrifying.
The two sides are knives and knives.
Punch and punch away.
In the morning, a crowd of horses had been slaughtered.
There was already a river of blood.
The masked group of men began to loot everything in the house.
Seeing this, Li Zhuo immediately hid under the bed.
And found a few rotten baskets under the bed.
As a cover for yourself.
Entering the house to search for a person with a mask.
I took a cursory look.
It is rebirth and departure.
Li Zhuo also escaped the catastrophe.
I only saw an hour later.
After the masked raiders had left completely.
Li Zhuocai crawled out from under the bed.
But what puzzled Li Zhuo was.
It's still windy and sandy outside.
How did this group of masked people come to this White Tiger Gate?
"Little brother, little brother. ”
A weak voice sounded in Li Zhuo's ears.
This voice is familiar to Li Zhuo.
It was none other than the man who had saved his life this morning.
