Narrow, shady streets, lined with low, dense sheds. The gutters on the side of the street emitted an unpleasant stench, and bare-bottomed children ran around.

If you hadn't come here in person, you wouldn't have known that there was such a messy and dirty residential area outside Chang'an City. No wonder Old Man Du would write "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." Such verses.

Walking through this dark and gloomy street, I saw a small temple whose walls could not be colored. Around the small temple, dozens of middle-aged beggars with black wooden sticks in their hands patrolled around.

What kind of mother is enshrined in this small temple, Guo Yan, who led the way, does not know. But when the beggar on patrol saw him, he did not come to stop him. Walking into the temple, there were no walls on both sides of the building, and a group of little beggars in tattered clothes and lacking hands and feet were lying in the haystacks, looking at the group of people passing by with blank eyes.

Boss Hu, the leader of the water bandits, looked a little unbearable, took out a handful of copper and threw it into the grain and grass pile, but none of the children picked it up, and still looked at them numbly.

Guo Yan shook his head gently at Boss Hu, signaling him not to make such a move again.

Pushing open the main hall, I saw a clay statue that could no longer see the face, with two bulges on the chest, which were dark and shiny when touched. In front of the clay sculpture, an old beggar wearing a hundred clothes sat on a dirty futon of unknown color, leaning against the clay sculpture behind him, and looked at the road with his eyes like electricity.

I passed by and looked at the eight beggars sitting in a group on both sides of the old beggar, some of them were old, and some were in the prime of life. All of them did not squint, and looked at the center with serious expressions.

The old beggar's eyebrows flashed slightly, Guo Yan lowered his head and walked out of the hall with Boss Hu, and took the door with him, standing on both sides like a god of the door.

"Yo! Everybody, sit down, this is. He smiled contemptuously.

"Are you the representative sent by Boss Hu Yunhu, the young man is really angry. I, an old beggar, don't bother to care about your cynicism, and young people have a chance to break their heads. Someone from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce threatened that if my Hanako Gang appeared in the West Market again, they would burn down our beggar's nest.

I'm old, and I can't live anywhere for a night like when I was younger, under a big tree by the eaves. I really don't want people to burn this only place that can shelter from the wind and rain to a fire. What are Boss Hu's plans, the great god in the view, is willing to help you Qingyun Club support. ”；

The old beggar said plainly, with the demeanor of a senior master.

"Old man Yi, are you bullying me for being young and don't understand anything? Who doesn't know that your old man Yi has a big courtyard at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, there is no shortage of three wives and four concubines, and even a lot of children have been born to you. ”；

After passing by, an old man Yi did not mean to respect the old man at all.

The old beggar's city mansion is really deep, and there is no trace of annoyance on his face when he hears this, and his tone is still light: "I think that old guy Hu Yun didn't let you come to inquire about my old beggar's family." In the face of the persecution of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce this time, as far as my Huazi Gang firmly supports your Qingyun Society, let's talk less nonsense. ”

After passing by, he took off the autumn water on his waist, and deliberately showed the old beggar the phoenix pattern on the scabbard: "The one in the view said that this sword is not decorative, and it has to be dyed with blood to make some people understand that although she does not have those false titles, she is still one of the top standing in the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Good! It's good to have this sentence. Didn't the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce want to burn down our beggars' dens? We sent someone to burn down the shops of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce at night, such a beggar, depending on who the government arrests, it won't catch us anyway. ”；

The old beggar was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to the other beggars on either side.

"Haha, the problem is that I can't get used to you taking children and cutting off your hands and feet, if I could, I would like to burn this beggar's nest that hides filth and dirt and loses all conscience." There was a sneer on the way.

"Presumptuous! Even Hu Yun didn't dare to talk like this to the old beggar, you kid, you are so bold! ”；

The old beggar Yi Tianchi was furious.

Lu was not afraid at all, stroked the Qiushui Sword, and muttered in his mouth: "This Qiushui Sword should also drink blood." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the old beggar's gray head flying high, and the neatly cut neck, blood rushed to the sky, spraying everywhere, splashing the clay statue everywhere.

The eight beggars sitting next to them looked at the old beggar's blood-spewing headless corpse in a daze, and did not come back to their senses for a long time.

The leaders of the two old beggars' cronies were the first to react, holding swarthy wooden sticks in their hands, and as soon as their hands were divided, they showed two thin stabbing swords, and shouted in their mouths: "He is not a member of the Qingyun Society, but an assassin of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce." Shoulder to shoulder, kill him to avenge the gang leader. ”

said that it was too late and that it was fast, and when he passed by, he waved the autumn water and "swished" two swords, and the two beggars were split into two sections with their swords. Blood splashed on his face, and at this moment, he seemed to be a killing god from hell.

The three beggars knelt on the ground with a "poof": "The three of us have been angry with Guo Yan, and we are willing to serve him as the helper, and we will never do such evil things again, and everything will be under the orders of the Guo gangmaster." ”

Seeing this, the other three also hurriedly knelt down: "We are also willing to follow the orders of the Guo gang leader!" ”

"You should have been killed for such evil things as you sat down. But Guo Yan is willing to keep you, saying that you will change to such a bad custom. But I don't want to believe you, I have the secret poison pill of the Five Poisons Sect here, and I am willing to take it and swallow it myself. I put the antidote with Guo Yan and take it once every six months, as for the consequences of the poison, think for yourself. ”；

He took out six colorful pills and threw them on the ground.

The door of the main hall opened with a "squeak", and he walked out covered in blood, looked at Guo Yan and smiled: "Look, listen to me, but for seven days, this Huazi Gang is yours." ”

Boss Hu really fainted when he saw blood, and his legs almost fell down as soon as he was weak. Guo Yan felt a chill in his heart, a stiff smile on his face, and did not speak.

"What will happen to this kid?" He asked, pointing to the still expressionless children in the haystack.

"They will still beg, but what will they do? The Hanako Gang can't keep them for nothing, or they'll die faster. ”； Guo Yan looked at the road and did not avoid his sharp eyes.

"Haha, I wish they were dead now, and they would suffer if they lived." I walked by and laughed a little abnormally.

"But they themselves must want to live, don't they?" Guo Yan looked at the group of children with pity.

The road was silent. Guo Yan looked at his somewhat red eyes: "I think, you should wash up now and find another woman, don't you think there is something wrong with you at this time?" ”

Looking for a woman, do you need it when you are on the road? There is a flower-like Tang Xiaoqi at home, as if he has just come to Kwai Shui in the past two days. There are so many beautiful and enthusiastic orchids in the orchid restaurant, but the master said that she would break her legs, so she shouldn't be joking. can't control the merry poet immortal, can't he stop his way?

Lu shook his head, and said with a firm face: "Aren't you going to kill three evil beggars, I don't need to vent on women when I pass by." Just find a place to wash it with clean water. ”

Guo Yan glanced at the road with some concern: "Really don't need it?" ”

He shook his head firmly again.

"I promise you, I, Guo Yan, will take good care of these poor children as long as I live, and I will never let the Huazi Gang have another such child." After Guo Yan finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the main hall.

On the way home, Boss Hu was very comfortable when he was passing by.

"Young master, if you really want to go to a woman, you can take all the money I have here, don't look at me like this."

When he got on the road, he flew up and gave Boss Hu a kick: "I can't imagine that your Boss Hu is really weak when he sees bloody legs, how did you fool him before." In order to cure your disease, I have to remind Liuzi that the next time I beat you, I will see blood again and again. ”

Boss Hu said with a crying voice: "Young master, let's go back quickly, I found that you are really a little abnormal." ”

After returning home, he stayed behind closed doors for five days, and sneaked into Tang Xiaoqi's room on the sixth night.

After three full madness, he took a long breath and looked at the dark roof fixedly, without saying a word for a long time.

"It's a shameless road, and people have just been clean, and you slipped over. It's over, and I don't say a word for a long time. ”；

Tang Xiaoqi took a hard bite on the shoulder.

I didn't scream in pain when I was on the road, but said in a somewhat empty tone: "Xiao Qi, I killed someone." Three living lives were cut in half by my sword, and now when I close my eyes, I can see their blood. ”

"Ahh Tang Xiaoqi gasped: "You kill!" Who did they kill and why did they kill them? ”

After passing by, I was in a trance and told the story again.

"These hateful beggars are simply inhumane, you should kill a few more times, kill a few more! Don't think about them anymore, your heart is uncomfortable, just lie down in my arms, and I will make you forget about them. Tang Xiaoqiyi hugged Lu Lu in his arms, buried his head in the road, and was silent for a long time.

After the road, he was about to go out again, and shook the phoenix pattern of the sword in front of the old man: "The one who has been helping the view recently has done something, and he will be busy soon." ”

Lu slowly looked at the back of his grandson leaving worriedly, and let out a long sigh.
