The Beginning of Troubled Times Chapter 25 The Killer
"Because my sister was taken away yesterday after eating a man's food, and I don't know where she went," the little girl looked up and thought about it, and then said, "She kept crying, but I hid in the dark corner and didn't dare to make a sound, I was afraid." ”
Su Jingchen sighed softly, he stretched out his hand to the girl, the girl subconsciously wanted to hide, but found that she was leaning against the corner of the wall and couldn't go anywhere, so she simply closed her eyes and lowered her head, as if Su Jingchen was some kind of demon and monster, but Su Jingchen just touched her head, "I also have a sister, she used to touch my head like this, and she sang to me, but it's good to listen to her singing, no matter what, I won't be afraid, but I can't sing, so I have to touch your head." ”
Su Jingchen smiled embarrassedly, took out a brand-new baked cake and handed it to the little girl, "Don't worry, I won't take you away, this baked cake can also be eaten, if it's not enough, I still have it here." ”
"Really?" The little girl's eyes lit up, but the outstretched hand was still a little hesitant, Su Jingchen simply handed the baked cake directly to her, so that the girl didn't care, she held the baked cake in her hand and gnawed it indiscriminately, like a puppy grabbing food.
"Eat slowly, be careful of choking."
While eating, the girl still said indistinctly, "Big brother, you're right!" The pancake is better than the fruit. ”
"Really?" Su Jingchen smiled and handed her another baked cake, "There is still one here, eat it slowly." ”
Before she finished eating, the little girl immediately took the baked cake in Su Jingchen's hand, opened her bow left and right, and took a bite while eating, looking really hungry. Su Jingchen suddenly stood up and walked out of the alley, the little girl watched Su Jingchen's figure disappear at the mouth of the alley, and suddenly remembered to catch up, but she remembered her father and mother for no reason, and the figure they left that day seemed to be the same.
Tears suddenly fell silently, and she ate a bite of the baked cake with tears in her eyes, and cried loudly.
But Su Jingchen suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley with a bowl of water, he looked dazed, put down the water at a loss, and wiped away the girl's tears with his sleeve, "What's wrong, what's wrong, I'll go get a bowl of water, why are you crying?" Is it too tasty? ”
But the girl kept crying, she grabbed the baked cake and smeared Su Jingchen with oil, and after her father and mother left her that day, she thought she had dried her tears.
"Okay, okay, don't cry," Su Jingchen took out a handkerchief like a trick and wiped away the girl's tears and snot, "Eat it, I was afraid that you would choke after eating, so I went to the boss to ask for a bowl of water, if I think the baked cakes are not enough, I will buy them again." ”
"Hmm!" The girl sniffed, grinned, and grabbed the pancake and ate it.
Su Jingchen squatted in front of the girl and watched her eat the six baked cakes one by one, such a big baked cake, I don't know how her little belly fits, sometimes the girl choked, Su Jingchen handed her the water, it really looked like the girl's brother. After the girl finished eating, Su Jingchen stood up, he touched the girl's head, and said softly: "I should go, if I have a chance in the future, I will invite you to eat baked cakes." ”
Su Jingchen turned around and was about to leave, when the girl suddenly stretched out her oily little hand, grabbed the corner of Su Jingchen's clothes, lowered her head, and didn't speak.
Su Jingchen squatted down again and touched the little girl's head, "Good, I'll come to see you next time." Then he got up again and turned to leave.
But the girl still clung to the corner of his clothes, "I don't want to be alone." As she spoke, her tears fell again and again, but she couldn't hold back her voice.
"My sister used to sleep with me in her arms, although it was very cold, although I was very hungry, but I could still sleep, but she was gone, I was alone last night, there were a lot of green eyes on the roof, there were a lot of small insects in the alley, and there were big rats, and there were many, many screams, I couldn't sleep, I was so scared."
Su Jingchen sighed, I can't even settle down well, maybe I'll die one day, how dare I take you, I'm just afraid that you will be more disappointed in the future and shed more tears, but he didn't say it, he squatted down and touched the girl's head again, "If you follow me, maybe it will be more bitter in the future than now, aren't you afraid?" ”
"That's better than one person."
"Okay, okay," Su Jingchen smiled helplessly, "That's what you said." ”
"I said it!" The girl is full of momentum.
So from this day on, Su Jingchen was followed by a little doll, and even he didn't expect that later, whether it was the ends of the world, or the sea of swords, even if she was spurned by the world, this girl had always followed her and never left.
.......
Su Jingchen stood at the door of the old man's yard with an embarrassed smile, he was followed by a dirty female doll, and he was still holding a string of sugar gourds in his hand, that was on their way back, and they met a vendor selling sugar gourds, the girl couldn't walk at that time, her eyes looked at the sugar gourds, and there were words in her mouth, "That's what my sister said was the best thing to eat, how does it taste, I really want to eat it......" It wasn't until Su Jingchen went to buy it that she obediently went on the road again.
The old man was using a small wooden stick to beat Lou Qi's hands and feet to correct Lou Qi's posture, and when he saw Su Jingchen leading the girl in, he asked with half-squinted eyes, "Where did the little doll come from?" ”
"In the alley over there......" Su Jingchen's voice was as small as a mosquito humming.
"Your sister?" Lou Qi turned his head and asked.
"Tie your horse!" The old man looked at Lou Qi with a stick, Lou Qi blew his nose and glared, and finally turned his head back honestly.
"No, she's alone in that alley, she hasn't eaten for days, and I'll ...... everything."
The old man snorted and interrupted Su Jingchen, "You can't even support yourself, and you still want to help others?" ”
Su Jingchen scratched her head embarrassedly, lowered her head and looked at the girl, the girl's hand holding the corner of Su Jingchen's clothes tightened again, she pursed her lips hard, and was silent.
The old man looked at the two of them, and suddenly said, "Okay, let's practice here today, I'll go out, don't run around here." ”
When Lou Qi heard this, he sat down on the ground all of a sudden, he supported the ground with his hands to prevent himself from falling, and the sweat on his head flowed down like thin running water, and then he began to curse in his mouth, and vented all the dirty words he had heard in his life to the old man's hair, and the old man couldn't hear it anyway.
Su Jingchen hurriedly covered the girl's ears, and said in his heart that he couldn't follow Lou Qi to learn badly.
The old man walked out of the courtyard gate, turned a corner, and suddenly snorted coldly, "Okay, come out, don't hide it." ”
Three men with hats jumped down from different roofs and stood in front of the old man, the black veil on their hats covered their faces tightly, the old man could find them, indicating that the old man still had some ability, the leading man among the three stepped forward and clenched his fist at the old man, "Old man, it seems that you can only die here today." ”
As soon as the words fell, the man suddenly pulled out the knife out of the sheath and took it straight to the old man's throat, with his speed, even if the three guards of Huaiyang City were afraid together, it was not an opponent, it was more than enough to deal with an old man who was in his last years, but the old man did not dodge or dodge, he looked at the man's sudden figure, and slowly spoke, "Just your three-legged cat kung fu, you can let the old man shoot, it is enough for you to blow for a lifetime." ”
The leading man sneered, and in an instant, the tip of his knife was less than an inch away from the old man's throat, even if it was a bird, it couldn't fly away now, and the person in front of him was just an old waste who could only use his tongue. There was a sudden sharp pain in the lower abdomen, and a mouthful of blood rushed up at once, and the old man didn't know when he punched, except for the old man who saw how the punch came out, the man was almost knocked away, but he stood still, and a voice in his heart told him that if this knife could not kill the old man, then it was the three of them who died. The man used all his strength to send the knife out, but the knife could no longer move forward even the slightest, the old man slapped the knife, the knife made of steel was actually cut off by the waist, and then the old man punched the man in front of the door again, the man was knocked out, knocked down and stopped, his facial bones were broken, and he could never wake up again. The remaining one was stunned, pulled out his knife and rushed towards the old man, and the man who was knocked down did not hesitate, and immediately pushed away the body of the leading man, pulled out his knife and bowed his body, and attacked the old man's lower plate.
The old man jumped up suddenly, raised his legs and swept, kicked the man in the black hat into the courtyard wall on the left, shook down several pieces of broken tiles, and the man on the ground was about to raise his knife to cut it, but the old man's legs were not reduced, and he smashed straight towards the man on the ground. The last man leaned against the wall, spitting blood, and the old man had just kicked him in at least five ribs, and he looked up to see the old man's face, and the old man happened to come over and wring his neck.
"What do you do! Fighting, huh? The courtyard wall of the old lady's house was broken, you have to pay for it, do you know! Suddenly a woman's voice sounded in the courtyard on the left, followed by the sound of the door opening, the woman twisted her waist, and was about to smash the man who had smashed the wall of her yard, but she turned the corner, and the alley was empty, and she scolded and turned back, but if she looked closely, she would find that there was a large pool of undried blood on the ground.
......
Qingpu Port, Aquarius Lane, the fourth gate.
Boss Chen was standing in front of a man in black, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Boss Chen, since you have already boarded our boat, you can't go down again, you have to think about it." There was a slight smile in the black's voice.
"I know, I know," Boss Chen rubbed his hands, he groveled to the man, and his face changed to a flattering smile, "In the future, you speak, I will do things!" No ambiguity! ”
"You also have to remember that if you dare to betray us, not only you, but your wife and children, your whole family, will not end well."
"Know! Know! Boss Chen straightened his waist and looked like he was going to swear to the sky, "I'm ...... Chen"
"Okay, okay," the man in black interrupted him impatiently, and then signaled to his subordinates beside him, who immediately turned around and walked into the room and took out a small wooden box one and a half feet square and handed it to the man, the man took the box and said to Boss Chen, "Take it, this is what was promised to you before." ”
Boss Chen immediately smiled, bent down to take the box, and couldn't wait to open it, the golden leaves inside almost blinded his eyes, he smiled and smiled, but frowned, "My lord, this number ...... Doesn't seem right? ”
"This is three hundred gold leaves, which is indeed less than the five hundred you said, but this is only half, after the deed, I will give you another three hundred gold leaves."
Boss Chen smiled and said, "It's better to rest assured that this real money is in your own hands, or ......."
"Get out." The man in black suddenly shouted loudly.
"Yes, yes, yes! Get out, get out! Boss Chen ran out of the yard with a roll, and ran back to his boat without looking back, until this moment the cold sweat soaked his clothes, even an ordinary businessman like him who didn't know martial arts, just at that moment, he also felt the kind of thing called "murderous".
