Chapter 4: Hating the Sky
The brilliant sunlight sprinkled between the green tiles and red walls everywhere, the abrupt horizontal cornices, the high fluttering shop signs, the sparkling carriages, horses, ox carts, and the endless flow of pedestrians, all of which reflected the prosperity of the Great Qi Dynasty.
But in this prosperous world, there is no way to live for the two little beggars, Ah Chou and Ah Mei. In the past few days, they have found that the port of Nanling County is a good place to go, and they can get a lot of food.
The east of Qi is close to the sea, and this Nanling County is the largest port in Qi. The vast expanse of blue waters, the vastness of the vastness, will always make people instinctively fearful, and Ah Chou really admires those who dare to sail.
The people of all kinds of goods come and go in the port, and it can be seen that the strange races such as the Di people and barbarians in northern Xinjiang, some of them are still blond and blue-eyed. While begging for food, watching these strange things is their greatest pleasure these days.
Of course, I also heard a lot of gossip, which is also a pleasure for a clown, but Xiaomei is not keen on this, it seems that the gossip nature of the little woman is always there, everything, even if she is only ten years old.
The port opened a direct route to Yan Kingdom, no, as soon as a galleon that had just arrived from Yan Kingdom docked, Ah Chou and Xiao Mei greeted it. The passengers who have just disembarked are the most generous, and they often give some small alms to the begging people, because the people who can take the boat at this age are not ordinary people, and after they get to the shore safely, they will have a good fortune.
In the midst of the crowd, our ugly girl suddenly stopped rushing forward, because the conversation between the two caught her attention.
I saw a middle-aged man in a fancy costume greet him, and the person opposite him was an extremely sturdy young man, but he was wearing an ink brocade robe and a felt scarf on his head.
As if they had been reunited after a long absence, the two left and talked enthusiastically.
The sturdy young man ha: "Uncle Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that this Great Qi has changed three monarchs in a year, it should be a mess, right?" ”
The middle-aged man in Chinese clothes was immediately stunned, and after a while, he showed a look of sudden realization: "Xiao Man, what year and month are you here!" It was all ten years ago. ”
Ah Chou couldn't help snickering in his heart: "With such a strong physique, he is actually called Xiaoman, which is really a mother's name." But when he saw the nondescript felt scarf he was wearing, his heart was quickly relieved.
What Ah Chou doesn't know now is that this person named Xiaoman will be the key person in the turning point of his fate.
"Huh? Such! It should be that we are too far away in the outer land, and the news is lagging behind! The little man said in a sneering voice.
At this time, the middle-aged man named Uncle Yu looked stunned, and deliberately lowered his voice to talk.
Ah Chou can only hear intermittently words such as "female king", "cruel", "remnant" and "Longshou Mountain".
When he heard "Longshou Mountain", Ah Chou couldn't help but be stunned on the spot. Seeing the two of them drift away, Ah Chou gritted his teeth and followed.
How can a clown have the experience of stalking people, but unexpectedly followed for a short time, the person named Xiaoman seemed to feel something, and turned around sharply, it was the ugly little girl who carefully saw the appearance of this sturdy man:
Angular cheekbones, curled sideburns beard, beard and dryness, looking forward to life, very manly.
At this time, his sword eyebrows swept over, and a pair of pitch-black pupils were as deep as an abyss, but they were as thin as a needle, which made Ah Chou panic. After seeing that the person behind him was just a thin little beggar, he closed his sharp gaze and turned his head away.
This is the ugly person who stroked his chest in fear, and the sudden burst of eyes made her fall into the ice cave, this terrifying gaze Ah Chou felt from the person who slaughtered the leader of Ruoshui Village that day.
Ah Chou didn't dare to follow closely, but you must know that their foothold is also very simple, as long as you follow from a distance, after about a stick of incense, Ah Chou saw that the two entered a bluestone courtyard, and it seemed that this was where they landed.
In the corner of the tattered wall of the dock alley, two beggars snuggled, and the moonlight caressed them faintly.
"Sister Ugly, where did you go? Today I am a big catch! As he spoke, he took out two steamed buns and handed one to Ah Chou, his eyes were full of happiness. It's finally time to eat! ”
Ugly is a very smart and clever person, and he fell into deep thought at this time. The "hating the sky" and "turning into a foreign place" in Xiaoman's mouth, Ah Chou felt extremely curious, but what made her even more curious was the "Longshou Mountain" mentioned by Uncle Yu......
It was late at night, snuggled up to Ugly's little eyebrows, and murmured: "I want to be with Sister Ugly forever, and in the future, I will break out of the world and let my sister live a good life!" ”
"What if we accidentally separate?" Ugly asked.
"If I have the ability, I will find my sister!" Xiaomei said very seriously.
Ah Chou thought for a while and said: "Then we promise each other, no matter who has a chance, we will find each other and never give up!" Good no good? ”
"Good! Then let's pull the hook! ”
"Hang yourself on the hook, you can't change it for a hundred years!"
This whisper, the agreement between the two ignorant beggars, quickly dissipated into the thick night, but it was deeply imprinted on the hearts of the two little beggars......
In the remaining days, Ah Chou quietly ran to the bluestone courtyard to hang around.
"Sister, what are we doing here these days?" Xiaomei asked puzzled.
"I want to find out the truth!" Thinking of the tragic death of hundreds of people in Neiruoshui Village, including Ah Dad and his mother, Ah Chou was angry and sad.
"What truth?"
"I don't know!"
At this moment, two people dressed as domestic servants suddenly appeared behind him, and they directly picked up Ah Qiu and Xiao Mei, and before they could struggle, they were knocked unconscious.
I don't know how long it took, but Ugly opened his eyes in a daze. At first glance, I saw the man named Xiaoman.
Xiao Man saw Ah Chou wake up, touched his chin with hooked whiskers, and said indifferently: "Little beggar, it's you again!" Last time, I thought it was you unintentionally following, but I didn't expect to be hanging outside the small courtyard for the past few days, what is the purpose? ”
Xiao Man sat firmly on the top, with thick eyebrows like a sword, a beard like a hook, and a graceful demeanor.
Ah Ugly can also see that this Xiaoman is by no means an ordinary person! But she couldn't answer how to answer, so Ugly was silent. At this time, Xiaomei also woke up, and a confused light flashed in his eyes.
Next, Xiao Man tried thirty-six tricks to get words out of this girl's mouth, but Ah Chou just didn't speak, like a mute. From Xiaomei's mouth, he also got nothing, because he didn't know anything in the first place.
Xiao Man spread his hands and sat down a little helplessly.
"Coo, coo......" Xiaomei's stomach screamed unconsciously.
This is, Xiao Man smiled. said to Ah Chou: "I see that you two little beggars are also very pitiful, then okay, you just need to tell me, what is your surname, I will let you go, and at the same time invite you to eat a delicious meal." ”
Xiao Man's mention is very **, and even Ah Ugly can't help but be tempted. On one side, Xiaomei protected his stomach, and said to Ugly: "Sister, I'm hungry......"
Ah Chou didn't hesitate much, after all, he was only ten years old, and no matter how delicate his heart was, he was still a child.
"My surname is Jiang ......," Ugly whispered.
"Jiang surname?" Xiao Man's face changed, and he couldn't help but look at Ah Chou a few more times, and the light in his eyes softened a lot.
"Someone's coming! Take these two little beggars...... Little brother, go to the kitchen and get some food. Then let them go! ”
Seeing that Xiao Man kept his promise, Ah Ugly grinned and breathed a sigh of relief, Ah Ugly was still the same ugly girl, with a dirty little face and a few open teeth in her mouth......
The two of them had a full meal, and Xiaomei muttered while eating: "So full, so full, I've never eaten so full." ”
Ah Chou was afraid that they would be annoyed by eating too much, so he hurriedly said to Xiaomei: "Gluttonous cat!" When we're full, we're leaving! ”
At this time, the wine shop in the distance of the bluestone courtyard was happy, and several young beauties danced with brisk silk music, with straight chests, thin waists, and plump and round buttocks...... Qi people are all uninhibited, and their sexy bodies have set off waves in the wine shop.
Just as Ah Chou was about to leave the small courtyard, a strange change occurred, and a team of officers and soldiers rushed from a distance, and soon surrounded the small courtyard.
"Xiao Man, let's leave through the back door quickly, I didn't expect the officers and soldiers to come to the door so quickly! It seems that the foothold that was built with great difficulty cannot be saved! Uncle Yu said hurriedly.
"It's really unlucky, I finally came to the ancestral land in the mouth of the ancestors, and I am about to leave so soon!"
"It's okay to come to the day, as long as you go to our ship at the port, you'll be safe!" Uncle Yu
urged.
At this moment, Ah Chou said weakly: "I know there is a shortcut from this alley to the port!" ”
"Then you show us the way!" Regardless of that, Xiao Man directly picked up Ah Ugly and walked out of the back door.
When he came to the port, he didn't expect that there were officers and soldiers here, Ah Chou had thoroughly seen Xiao Man's martial arts, and the officers and soldiers were not his enemies, and in just a few moments, he alone injured dozens of officers and soldiers to the ground.
When the officers and soldiers who rushed to see this person was so violent, they put arrows from a distance, but Xiao Man was such a skilled person, how could the arrows hurt him.
However, it's hard to be ugly, although she is not in the center of the fight, but a flying random arrow still hits her squarely, impartial, and in the heart.
Xiao Man secretly screamed "not good", took a big step, picked up the ugly who didn't know the life and death of the arrow, and swept his body like a wild goose, and landed straight on the big boat on the shore.
And the scene of Ah Chou's arrow, Xiaomei also witnessed, he rushed up like crazy, but the big ship had already anchored, leaving only a poor beggar crying out in pain, like a desperate lone wolf who had lost his loved ones...... But soon the little beggar was like a wave, drowning in the tide of officers and soldiers.
looked at the ugly in his arms, his chest was red at this time, and he didn't know if he could be saved. Xiao Man sighed slightly, and said to the people on the side: "This big week is extremely boring, let's set off to hate the sky!" ”
The big ship rode the wind and waves, and sailed to the distant land of the outer world with the seriously injured Ugly - hating the sky!
The boat sailed on the sea, and the night was blank.
