"Boss, have a bowl of noodle soup and more noodles!"

"Great!" The boss replied casually, and when he turned his head, it was a teenager covered in dirt and fluffy hair.

The big spoon in the boss's hand stopped in mid-air, "Guest officer, this store is a small business, pay first and then cook noodles!" ”

The young man's eyes squinted, and he took out more than a dozen copper coins from his arms and slapped them on the table, "I'm not a person who doesn't give money for dinner!" You can rest assured! ”

The boss looked at the copper coin and smiled, "Guest officer, the money is not enough, this is only enough for half a bowl!" ”

"Isn't your bowl of noodles here fifteen copper coins? When did it go up to 30? Do you have to bully me today? ”

The boss put down the spoon and reached out to get the money, "Alas, it's not that I'm bullying you at such a young age!" Not long ago, the county added taxes, saying that they were suppressing bandits, but the more bandits were suppressed, the more they were suppressed. Alas! I have to pay again tomorrow, and they ask me for money, so naturally the price will increase on my side. Don't say fifteen yuan a bowl of noodles, my grandfather used to cook noodles for five yuan a bowl at that time! Hey, why am I telling you this? I'll cook this half bowl of noodles for you, I'll put more wild vegetables and soup, and you can eat it together! ”

"Alright, boss, let's cook noodles, I'm hungry!"

"Okay, half a bowl of noodle soup, a few wild vegetables, and a full of hot soup!"

The boss shouted as he threw the sliced dough sheet into the pot along with the wild vegetables.

A few pieces of noodles could be vaguely seen in the noodle soup, and the rest were all wild vegetables, and the boy devoured them after taking a look.

There are still a lot of people on the street, Le'an deserves its name, although the world has been in turmoil for decades, Kele'an County has not suffered from war so far, and many rich people have taken gold and silver treasures to hide in this small city and live a good life.

The countryside outside the city of Kele'an is very different, the endless conscription of military service has been emptied, and this young man ran from the countryside into the county seat.

When the boy finished eating the noodle soup and got up to leave, he was immediately held down by two tolerances.

"Capture a fugitive! The shopkeeper harbors criminals, the same crime! ”

The owner of this noodle shop immediately cried and knelt down and shouted "My lord, I don't know him, I don't know him as a fugitive!" Please also check the grace of the adults! Please, sir! For the sake of my cousin Master Zhou, please raise your noble hands! ”

"Yo, are you still flipping through Master Zhou's old yellow calendar? It doesn't work! Now Liu County is in charge of the county, he has thousands of soldiers and horses under his hands, and he is in charge of big and small things! Master Zhou can only play tricks with his pen and pen, and it doesn't work! Come with us first! ”

"The villain has eyes but no beads! The villain knows that he is wrong! Please let me go home! ”

The two tolers winked at each other, "Okay, you go back!" They are all people in this county, and if you don't look up and look down, you can still be accommodating in this matter! ”

As several people were talking, the boy broke free from his stool and ran out of the city with a roar.

"Stop him! Don't let him run! ”

"Let's let go, arrest someone!"

The boy shuttled freely through the crowd, but the two were out of breath.

However, the soldiers patrolling the city were strong men, and after a while, they held down the young man.

"Capture a fugitive! Escort to the barracks outside the city to do coolies! ”

The boy threw up his neck with all his strength and shouted, "I'm not a human criminal!" I'm not a human prisoner! You've caught the wrong person! ”

The surrounding crowd seems to have not seen it, doing business and doing business, and shopping continues to shop.

The two men climbed over and beckoned, "Brothers, we found this prisoner first, and we have to bring it back to the errand!" Now the walls need to be strengthened as well! ”

The soldiers lifted two tolerances, "you!" Do you have the final say, or does General Liu have the final say? Do you think General Liu is really willing to be your county minister? If it weren't for a few old men begging hard, General Liu would have taken his troops to other places a long time ago! Get out of the way! What is it! ”

The boy burst out laughing, "Dog eats dog!" Two pugs, in addition to bullying the people, you are cowards! ”

The soldiers were beaten so badly that they almost killed the boy.

After the fight, the boy still smiled with a contemptuous expression.

"Drag him out of the streets! How dare this kid defy the king's law! Lao Tzu doesn't want to live anymore! ”

A few passers-by couldn't look at it, muttered a few words, and then took a few whips from the soldier captain who took the lead.

"What do you see? Officers and soldiers beat people! No, the officers and soldiers maintain law and order! It's all optimistic, this is the end of rebellion against the imperial court! ”

An old man on the side of the road shook his head, but was speechless after all.

The rest of the people also kept their heads down and went about their own business, and these soldiers really couldn't be provoked.

Seeing that the boy was about to die, a carriage came to block the group of soldiers.

The soldiers knelt down one after another, apparently a big man, and the crowd looked over to see who could make this group of fierce soldiers kneel.

The carriage stopped, and four richly dressed servants with swords on their backs lifted the curtain and invited out a young girl.

The girl slowly stepped out of the carriage, shook the red cloak on her body, and smiled slightly, "Get up!" Didn't you promise me not to hurt people at will? Why are you beating people on the street again today, and you are still beating people so badly? ”

The captain got up and lowered his head and returned, "The little ones have captured one of the robbers and are about to kidnap him and go to General Liu for interrogation!" ”

"People are about to be killed by you, even if they are human criminals, they can't fight like this! Besides, I think he is just a teenager, how can he be a fugitive criminal? I don't think this person will be a human criminal, let him go! ”

"Miss! This is a murderous and fugitive Jiangyang thief! ”

"Niu San! Shut up! Are you an idiot to be Miss Ben? Today, this person, Miss Ben took away! ”

As soon as the girl gave the order, the two servants with long swords on their backs set up the young man, and the other two servants drew their long swords and held them in front of them.

The soldiers had no choice but to retreat obediently and watch the girl take the man away.

The maiden sat in the carriage, and the servants carried the boy in front, and the carriage went very slowly, because the smell of the boy was too great, and the maiden kept covering her nose.

"These soldiers are becoming more and more unruly! It's just a careless disregard for human life, they do all kinds of bad things, but others put the account on my father's head! When I go back, I must make sure that my father rectifies his subordinates! ”

"Thank you Miss for saving your life, I feel that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, even if your father is General Liu, he can't control them!"

The girl was almost half angry, she changed to an ordinary person, and she was rescued from the ghost gate, she must be a thousand thanks, this young man is good, and he came up to her and said that his father was not right.

"You deserve to be beaten, I knew I wouldn't save you! You can't speak so much, sooner or later you will be beaten to death, I really want to save you! ”

"Miss, I'm telling the truth, I don't come to eat half a bowl of noodles in the morning, they insist that I am a bandit and want to arrest me. By the way, not only these soldiers arrested me, but also the tolerance! ”

"Well deserved! Dirty, smelly and dirty! If you don't catch you, who will you catch? Stop talking, Miss Ben is in a bad mood! ”

The young man smiled, "It turns out that there is really such a thing as not eating minced meat, you are a young lady from a big family, how do you know the life of our poor people." Come on, thank you Miss for saving my life, the two eldest brothers sent me out of the city, and I continued to live in the mountains! ”

"Stinky and hard! As soon as you left the city, you weren't caught and beaten to death, you just offended this group of soldiers, and you couldn't live without Miss Ben's protection! ”

"I really regret that I didn't listen to my grandfather, didn't go with him, and came to the city to eat half a bowl of noodle soup! As a result, I can't go! ”

The girl opened the curtain of the car and looked at the boy, "Search him!" I can't figure out if he's really a thief, where can he get the money to eat noodle soup like this! ”

The two servants immediately searched the boy by holding him down, and found hundreds of copper coins from the rags close to his stomach.

"Okay, everyone has stolen money, Miss Ben is here to judge you today! Take it back and lock it in the firewood room! ”

The boy began to yell again: "I'm not a thief!" This money was given to me by my grandfather! I'm not a thief! ”

"I see that you and that Niu San are virtuous, and they all think that Miss Ben is a fool? Tell you, Miss Ben is not uncannibalistic, now in this world, where in the countryside can anyone come up with hundreds of dollars at once? You make up nonsense like a little bit! ”

The servants took out more than a dozen of the copper coins and walked towards the girl, "Miss Yueru, these copper coins have blood stains on them, it looks like it won't be too long, I tasted it, it's human blood!" This person may be involved in a murder! ”

"Tie him up! I don't think he is like a good person, he was beaten violently, and he can still be so energetic! If you can't figure it out, it's the internal response sent by the bandits on Wolong Mountain! ”

"I didn't kill anyone! I'm not a bandit! I'm a good person! ”

The boy shouted hysterically, his eyes red, but he was immediately gagged with rope and rags.

After being taken back to the firewood room of Liu's mansion, Liu Yueru did not beat him, but just tied him to the pillar of the firewood room and interrogated him slowly.

The young man didn't admit it, and the servant suggested that he still use torture, "Miss Yueru, Niu San, they beat them to death like that, and he didn't confess!" You can't ask without punishment! ”

Liu Yueru hesitated for a moment and waved her hand, "No, if that's the case, is there any difference between me and Niu San?" I saw him hungry for three days and three nights, and I wasn't afraid that he wouldn't confess! ”

The young man rolled his eyes and laughed, "I thought that the young ladies of the big families were gentle and graceful, but I didn't expect to be so vicious!" If I starve to death, I'll haunt you! ”

Liu Yueru was angry, this person was really angry, "Let him go and put on shackles!" Shut in the firewood room and lock it outside! Starve him for four days and four nights! Walk! ”

On the night of the third day, Liu Yueru secretly looked by the window to see that the young man was chewing something.

"Open the door! Look at who is so bold as to dare to give food to this bandit! ”

The door opened, and the servants' lanterns shone through, and the boy was munching on bamboo shoots, which had come out of the floor of the firewood room.

The young man continued to chew the bamboo shoots and swallowed them, Liu Yueru looked at the peeled bamboo shoot shells, "You can do it, you can even eat this!" You should have been tied to a pillar in the first place! ”

"Miss Yueru, I don't think this person looks like a bandit, people who are used to drinking wine and eating meat can't eat this raw bamboo shoot, it's astringent and bitter, this person is a peasant boy without a doubt!"

"Boy, as long as you are willing to tell where those copper coins came from, Miss Ben will let you go!"

"You city people, you don't count, I eat half a bowl of noodle soup, just five pieces of noodles, and charge me fifteen dollars. Now you're lying to me again, whether I say it or not, I'm not going to be killed by you! ”

Liu Yueru raised her hand and was about to hit him, but she stopped in mid-air and said, "Forget it, Miss Ben doesn't remember villains!" Cook him a big bowl of noodle soup and add meat! When he's done eating, send him out of town! Boy, now you can say it! ”

The young man sat on the ground and looked directly at Liu Yueru: "Don't call me a kid!" I'm bigger than you! I have a name! ”

"Then you don't say it?"

"I was either beaten or gagged along the way, and then I was shackled and starved, what do I say?"

"Forget it, forget it, now you can say it!"

"No, I'll eat the noodle soup first!"

"Cook it for him! When you meet this kind of person, you don't know what you did wrong in your previous life! Poor, smelly, and underwhelmed! I don't know how you got to where you are now! ”

"I know, Miss Meng Yueru rescued me, otherwise I would have died a few days ago! I won't say anything about repaying you, you are a big family and you don't lack anything, I'm not even as good as a beggar! ”

Liu Yueru slapped her nose and went out directly, retching for a while, "Call me when he finishes eating!" ”

Soon, a large bowl of beef noodle soup was delivered, and the young man snorted and swallowed it in a blink of an eye, and finished eating, "Why are big families so stingy!" I haven't eaten enough! ”

The servant of the guard took pity on him, and immediately called for another large bowl to be cooked.

After the boy finished eating the second bowl of beef noodle soup, Liu Yueru came over again, "Now you can say it!" ”

"Okay, you talk about credit, and I can't be uninteresting. These copper coins do

It was given to me by an old man, but the money was from a few dead people, and I didn't kill them, they chased and killed the old man, but the old man killed them! ”

"Humph! You are so dishonest, you just made up nonsense as soon as you were full, how many people can an old man kill? ”

"Miss Yueru, you can't ask anything like this, since he said that it was from a dead person, let him lead the way to find the body, so that you can figure out whether what he said is true!"

Liu Yueru looked at the servant, "Okay, but it's too late now, let's go during the day!" ”

"Hahahaha, what's too late, you're just afraid of ghosts! It turns out that Miss Yueru, who wants to tie up people at every turn, is also afraid of ghosts! The boy began to taunt again

"Go, go! I have four uncles who are strong in martial arts to protect me, what are I afraid of? ”

The four servants hesitated for a moment, "Miss Yueru, let's ask General Liu about this matter, after all, it has not been peaceful outside the city recently!" In case"

"No in case! I know the skills of the four uncles, even if this kid has accomplices, you can get rid of it! Let's go, let's go! ”

The four servants had to go out with thirty more servants.

On the way, I asked all the way, and I learned that the young man's name was Zuo Xiaoqi, who was originally from Lijia Village, his parents were killed by bandits, the family's house was taken over by the government, and the acres of land were also divided by the clansmen, so he became a homeless child.

When he reached a hillside outside the city, the boy pointed to a bush of grass scattered with red petals, "It's in the soil under this grass, and I put this flower on it!" ”

"If you lie to us this time, we'll bury you here!"

The family dug up the earth, and sure enough, there were five corpses inside, all of them dead from sword wounds.

The four servants took a closer look at the lantern, "These five people have thick cocoon scars on their hands, and they are all martial arts practitioners, Zuo Xiaoqi can't kill them!" And except for one person who was stabbed twice, the rest were killed with one sword! ”

"This uncle is amazing, just like he was here!"

"It's not easy to get a kind word from your kid. Is the person who was stabbed twice a higher martial artist? ”

"No, the two swords were stabbed just to keep the mouth alive for questioning, so the first sword stabbed a little shallower, and after the questioning, the second sword was stabbed to kill the mouth!"

Zuo Xiaoqi applauded, "Amazing, amazing, this was the situation at the time, now you know that I didn't lie!" ”

The tallest long-bearded servant turned to stare at Zuo Xiaoqi, "Boy, I'm really curious why you weren't killed!" You must know that there are no more than five such masters in the world! ”

Zuo Xiaoqi was proud: "What's there?" The old man wanted to take me as an apprentice, but I didn't go with him! I, too, took the money and was going to go to the city to eat and drink, buy clothes, and be a man! ”

The somewhat chunky servant came over with a token, "Everyone, the dead are from the court!" If I'm not mistaken, this token should be Liang Jun's token! ”

"Aren't we Liang Jun?" Liu Yueru was a little surprised

"We're just newly attached to Emperor Daliang, not counted! It seems that the identity of the person who was hunted down is extremely special! Let's go! ”

As soon as the words fell, dozens of torches lit up, and hundreds of people surrounded them, "You are so bold, you dare to shield the imperial court!" ”

"Take Miss Yueru away!" The tall servant hurriedly drew his sword to defend, and let the short and fat servant carry the moon on his back and go to the city.

But they couldn't get out anymore, and the people who surrounded them killed thirty family members and used the effort of eating a cucumber.

All of a sudden, there were only four servants left and Liu Yueru Zuo Xiaoqi.

Zuo Xiaoqi pulled Liu Yueru into the grass and rolled into the grass, "Follow me down the mountain!" ”

The four servants resisted a stick of incense and died under the sword.

Zuo Xiaoqi and Liu Yueru hadn't walked far before they were surrounded again.

"My father is General Liu, you can't kill me!"

"It's useless who your dad is! Everyone here today is going to die! ”

Zuo Xiaoqi knelt down at this time, and Liu Yueru kicked him, "It turns out that you are still a ghost who is afraid of death!" You've killed me! ”

Zuo Xiaoqi looked up to the sky and shouted, "Grandpa, I am willing to worship you as a teacher!" Come out of here! As long as you save Miss Yueru, I'll go with you! ”

The people around them burst out laughing, thinking that the boy was crazy.

Unexpectedly, a white light flashed, and the head of the armored leader closest to Liu Yueru fell to the ground.

Liu Yueru directly screamed and fainted, and then the white light danced on the ground like a swimming dragon for a while, all the torches were extinguished, and the people who had to cut the grass and eradicate the roots before had no heads at this time.

"Boy! In order to accept you as an apprentice, the old man has made more killings! It's good that you have a crush on other people's girls! This time, if you don't come with me, I'll kill you too!" ”

Zuo Xiaoqi hugged Liu Yueru and smiled, "I am the grandfather's life-saving benefactor, you kill me against the morality of the rivers and lakes!" ”

"Okay, come with me, you can't stay here, you carry her on your back, we'll send her home!"

"I'm afraid I'll be arrested by the officers and soldiers in the city!"

"Whoever wants you to go through the city gates, let's get through the dog hole by the moat!"

"No, I'm a manly man on the left, how can I drill a dog hole!"

"Then you carry her through the city gate, and I won't go!"

"A big husband can bend and stretch! Drill and drill! ”

When Liu Yueru woke up, she was in her bed, thinking that she had a dream, but when the housekeeper shouted in the house in a panic, she knew that what happened last night was true.

If you take someone to find Zuo Xiaoqi again, you can't find it anymore.

On Wolong Mountain, the old man handed his long sword to Zuo Xiaoqi, "Be my apprentice, I want to change my name, I can't be called Xiaoqi." I have given you a new name, called the Left Three Phases, which is for the selfless phase, the no-man phase, and the non-sentient beings. The longevity of the person, just be free, don't talk about longevity in this troubled world! ”

"Left three phases? Are you saying that from now on I will be called Left Sanxiang? I don't understand what there is no self, no one, no sentient beings, I don't understand! ”

"I'll teach you, Sanxiang, get on your knees!"
