Xuanwu Lake is finally empty, leaving only tired birds to turn over in the nest, wild dogs to run quietly, and spring cats to let out terrifying moans. Recite.

But at this time, there were two people, an old man and a young man, outside the Xuanwu Lake Gate. Both of them were dressed in tatters, and they could sweep the dust when they walked, and they could become beggars with just one more bowl, for each of them already had a long and a short dog beating stick in their hands.

The old man was actually not weak, but a little burly, and he looked a lot shorter because he was hunchbacked. The folds on his face are like a wall of yellow mud after heavy rain, and they are also comparable to the dead bark of a hundred and eighty-year-old trees. The five-foot-long strip of cloth on his back is also very torn. Of course, it must not be forgotten that he is a lame.

The boy is really thin, maybe he is already a teenager, but he is stunted, he is only 1.3 meters tall, and his face is full of oil, I don't know if he is beautiful or not.

The young man raised his head to look at the old man, and after he spoke, his voice was a little beautiful: "Have you arrived at the place?" ”

"It's here, it's late, and everyone is gone." The old man was a little helpless.

"Are we going hungry again today?" The boy said sadly.

In the past three years, as the old cripple walked for 3,000 miles, he had never eaten a full meal, and at most he only had a steamed bun in half, which was not as good as the days when he begged for food.

But the old cripple just refused to let him beg for food again, and he had no choice but to obey.

"Just endure it for another day, and in the future, our two will have fresh clothes and angry horses, roast goose and roast duck, everything." The old cripple affirmed.

The boy rolled his eyes, three years ago he was deceived by this old bastard, and since then he has been on the road of no return. Now the old cripple is still talking so mysteriously that he despises it.

However, the young man still followed the old cripple, for nothing else, and after he fell ill two years ago, the old cripple carried him on his back for sixty miles of mountain roads, and then asked a strange man for a pair of medicines, which saved his life.

"So where are we going now?" The boy asked.

"Wait for me to do the math." The old cripple sat down on the ground, and then his fingers kept pinching something, looking like a tall stinky fart, and there were words in his mouth.

At the beginning, the young man really thought that the old cripple was some kind of worldly master, but then he listened attentively to the sentences from the old cripple's mouth, and it turned out that there were just a few sentences over and over again: "Where is the wine?" Where is the meat? Where are the chickens? Where are the ducks? ”

After a while, the old cripple got up from the ground, patted the boy on the head, and said, "Go." ”

The young man could only smell the aroma of wine and meat wafting from ten miles away in the faint warm breeze of this spring, swallowed his saliva, and secretly thought that if he couldn't eat enough tomorrow, he would secretly sell the things on the old cripple's back for three or two steel hammers.

Su Bai, Feixue, and Niu Qingshan left Xuanwu Lake together.

Niu Qingshan gave Su Bai a thumbs up: "Bullish, little brother, really bullish." ”

Su Bai smiled faintly: "Brother Niu has won the prize." ”

Niu Qingshan smiled, then frowned and asked, "Little brother really wants to go to the hidden holy land of Lao Shizi to be a guest?" ”

Su Bai laughed, and suddenly wiped it on his face, showing his true face: "As for the rights and interests, it is just a lifeless person who wants to be a guest secretary." ”

Niu Qingshan scratched his head, and admired Su Bai's trick of changing his face very much, he was not stupid, he knew what Su Bai meant. Anyway, it's just a fake identity, just now in order to leave Xuanwu Lake smoothly, so I deliberately dealt with Yi Hongyan in the misty West Mountain.

As for why Su Bai left the way of contact later, it is another thought.

"Brother Niu, do you have any other places to go in Nanjing?" Su Bai asked.

Niu Qingshan said with a smile: "Just sleep alive in the broken temple." ”

"If Brother Niu doesn't dislike it, it's better to go to me, the chicken legs are enough." Su Bai invited, this Niu Qingshan is a strange person, and he really wants to make friends.

Niu Qingshan was also unceremonious and nodded directly: "Okay, I'll go." But I'll have to go to the ruined temple to pick up the package first. ”

"No problem, then Feixue, I'll send you back first?"

"Hmm." Blizzard nodded.

Back at the God of War Villa, Su Bai arranged Niu Qingshan to stay, and the people in the God of War Palace were a little surprised, they didn't know where the God of War picked up a wild man and came back, but they would never say anything.

In the evening, Su Bai, Qin Qing, and Qin Xin returned to their peace of mind, and Niu Qingshan slept alone on the big bed before he took out a mobile phone from the package and dialed a number.

"Hello? Your sister, why didn't you arrive so late? ”

A voice came from the other end of the phone: "Alas, the road is delayed, you know, I can't go fast." ”

"If you miss the master's top priority, you can't pick your skin. I'll be there tomorrow morning. ”

"Understood, understood. Hey, you're still happy, you must have slept in a big bed and eaten chicken legs now, right? His voice was filled with envy.

"Of course." Niu Qingshan looked proud, "Who made you slow." Don't think about eating, think more about how to fool him, don't let people see through your tricks. ”

"I understand, rest assured, I know it in my heart." There was a confident laugh on the other end of the voice, "Don't say it, starve to death, sleep, dream of drinking wine and eating meat." ”

"."

After Niu Qingshan finished the last sentence, he hung up the phone, and then stuffed the phone back into the package.

In a dilapidated factory at the other end of Nanjing, the old cripple also put down his mobile phone and quietly lay down. The boy beside him, who was already asleep, was disturbed by the sound and movement, so he pouted and rolled over. muttered in his mouth: "Stinky old man, if you can't eat enough tomorrow, you will sell your old man's machine to buy steamed buns." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, his face twitched, and he originally wanted to stuff the phone into the cloth bag, but he took it back and put it away as a baby.

The sky was bright, and the old and the young got up, stepped out of the broken factory, and walked away.

After Su Bai drank the red rice porridge that Qin Qing skillfully simmered, he went out, and the three of them came downstairs, and saw an old man and a young man, two people dressed as beggars staring at them with extremely "affectionate" eyes.

Su Bai was stunned, then took out a red hundred-yuan bill from his arms and put it in the child's hand.

If there was only one old man, Su Bai would not give it, for the sake of the child, he would not be stingy.

The child trembled and held the hundred-dollar bill, and countless delicacies flashed in front of his eyes, and his little face was red with excitement, and he forgot to say thank you.

But the bill had not yet been heated, but it was snatched by the old man, and the young man glared angrily at the old man.

"Bring it!" The boy yelled.

The old man shook his head and slapped the top of the young man's head: "How many times have I told you." ”

The teenager was extremely aggrieved.

The old man looked at Su Bai and said, "We are not beggars, please take back this money." ”

Su Bai was stunned, not a beggar?
