Two days later, as soon as the day dawned, the southern city opened the city gate on time, and there was an endless stream of people entering the city and leaving the city. By the end of the day, the sun was already high in the sky, bringing a burst of warmth, and there were fewer people entering and leaving the city gate than in the early morning, and the soldiers defending the city were lazily leaning against the wall to bask in the sun.

A sound of horses' hooves came from far outside the city gate, stopped at the city gate, and a middle-aged man and a young man turned over from the horse, and the two dismounted, led the horse with the rope, and under the watchful eye of the city gate guards, they followed the people into the south city gate and walked towards the city.

South Street is the most lively time at this time, the street is full of people, the market is shoulder to shoulder, so it is not crowded, the two left the main street with the most people, found a stall that specializes in eating early, sat down, put down the long burden in their hands, and ordered two bowls of noodles.

Because it was already early, the stall owner quickly brought two bowls of steaming longevity noodles, put them in front of the two, and said politely: "Guest officer, please use it." ”

"Xiao Wu, let's eat, let's stay in Wucheng for a while, these days are running around, we should also rest."

The middle-aged man who spoke, looked like he was in his forties, his skin was dark and rough, his chin was full of stubble, his face was weathered, he was not particularly tall, but he was very strong, the most outstanding part of the whole person was his eyes, not big, but bright, shining between a squint and a close, at this time he looked at the young man next to him but his eyes were very gentle, showing that the relationship between the two was not ordinary.

Sure enough, the young man replied, "Yes, father-in-law." It turned out to be a father and son, and because there were no other customers, the stall owner's eyes couldn't help but focus on these two people.

The boy stopped talking, picked up his chopsticks and began to eat. said that he was a teenager, but looking at the immature appearance on his face, he was just a child about ten years old, this child was also strange, he didn't talk much, and his expression was cold, and he hadn't seen him smile or show other expressions for so long.

The middle-aged man ate quickly, but the young man ate very slowly, pinched them one by one, and then sent them into his mouth one by one, as if he wanted to count how many were poured into the bowl, and the middle-aged man didn't urge him, and the stall owner wouldn't urge him, anyway, there was no one now.

Time passed in this rare leisure, the sun above his head seemed to climb up a little bit, the stall owner was feeling a little panicked, suddenly heard the sound of commotion from the alley not far away, suddenly refreshed, busy looking at the source of the sound.

After a while, an eight- or nine-year-old boy ran out of the alley, followed by a fierce man, the big man chased behind the boy in a few steps, stretched out his leg is a kick, kicked the boy down in the middle of the road, the big man crossed his waist with one hand, pointed at the boy with the other hand and scolded: "Little rabbit cub, he doesn't have long eyes, and your uncle's things dare to steal, and he doesn't give them to his master." ”

The boy was not afraid of him, and while getting up, he scolded back: "You old horseman, this thing is my master, why do you say it's yours." ”

The big man was furious, and he flew up and kicked him to the ground, "Okay, you stinky little scream, and you dare to fight back, let everyone see, with your virtue, can you afford to wear such a good jade pendant?" It's not stealing, but your father gave it to you, and you can't bring it to me. ”

The big man scolded and stretched out his hand to take it into the boy's arms, and the boy desperately protected his chest while shouting, "My father gave it to me, it was my father who gave it to me." Seeing that he couldn't take care of it, the boy opened his mouth and bit down the big man's hand.

"Ahh The big man screamed, waved his hand and slapped the boy twice, seeing a trace of blood spilling from the corner of the boy's mouth, everyone next to him looked stupid, and no one went up to persuade him for a while.

"Stop." A crisp children's voice came from behind the two of them, and then I saw a few people coming from the other side of the street, the first of them were also two children, one was about ten years old, he was holding less than half of his height, about five or six years old, both of them were dressed in brocade clothes, with jade pendants on their waists and jade crowns on their heads.

It was the youngest child in front of him who said, "Stop", at this moment he had walked not far in front of the two, the child had a small face, pointed at the big man and said angrily: "You are such a big person, bullying a child, what kind of hero." Changxing, Changsheng. ”

Listening to his instructions, two little men walked out from behind, stepped forward to help the boy up, and brought him to his side, and the child stretched out his hand and said, "Can you give me your jade pendant?" The boy looked at him, and without hesitation, he took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms and handed it to his little hand, the onlookers were secretly curious, I really don't know what this boy thought, just in order not to be snatched away, he was beaten, and now others took out a word without saying a word.

The child took the jade pendant in his hand, looked at it carefully, and then said to the big man: "You just said that this jade pendant is yours, so what words are engraved on the back of the jade pendant?" ”

The big man came back to his senses at this time, and was stunned when asked by the child, and after grinding for a long time, he replied viciously: "I don't remember." ”

The child turned back and asked the boy, "Then you say." ”

The boy raised his head, "There is no word, my father gave it to me, let me keep it well, saying that it is an heirloom of our family." ”

The child shoved the jade back into the boy's hand, "Yes, take it well." Beware of the shameless one, I don't even know if there is a word on the jade pendant, and I'm embarrassed to say that it's his family. ”

The bystanders burst out laughing, and the big man was red and white by him, and he was still worried that the two children were dressed well, I was afraid that they had some identities, but now they were annoyed and angry, and they couldn't care about it, so they suddenly took out their usual face and threatened: "I advise you not to do too much, do you know who the master is, on this road, whoever sees the master must not take a detour." ”

The person who was still smiling heard what he said, and he was also a little worried, and hurriedly asked others to inquire, and after inquiring clearly, he couldn't help but shrink back, and didn't dare to speak again. Dahan was very satisfied with this effect, and squinted at the children in front of him.

Who knew that the child didn't react at all, but laughed and said: "Who doesn't know you, aren't you just the dog leg of so-and-so." ”

The big man's eyes shrank, and he said angrily: "Little cub, the skin is itchy, and the uncle will loosen it for you." ”

The child's face turned blank when he heard this, and he waved his hand behind him, "What are you waiting for?" ”

After getting the order, the five people who were already gearing up behind him rushed up, and pounced on the big man together, although the big man said that he was a burly, but after all, his fists were difficult to reach ten hands, and several teenagers were like ghosts, pinching and scratching, and pounced and beating, the big man actually suffered a big loss, a few punches in the face, a few blows in the waist, and a few kicks in the legs, the big man struggled to climb out of the encirclement of everyone, and ran to the main street, while shouting: "There is a seed, wait for me." ”

The child was not afraid at all, his hands were on his hips, jumping and jumping, and he shouted behind him: "If you have a kind of don't run, I think I don't know what you're doing, don't you just call your master, you listen to me well, and also give your master a message, isn't he the first tyrant in Wucheng, you sue him, from now on, he has given me this title, of course, I'm different from him, he is the first bully, I'm the first bully, you sue him, our bully is his nemesis, and he is a bully and a slave like you, go quickly, Go quickly, sir, I'll wait. ”

The onlookers heard him say that he was amused, and the big man had run away again, and was no longer afraid, and laughed one after another, and the child saw the others laughing, and he was not a little timid, and his big eyes turned around in a circle, until the older boy next to him glared at him, and then obediently walked to the side of the son, took his hand, and smiled at him flatteringly.

The middle-aged man on the noodle stall and the young man named Xiao Wu have already finished eating, but they have been sitting and not moving, after watching this good show, the young man's face still has no expression, only the middle-aged man's eyes flashed, I don't know what to think, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
