Chapter 27: Scarlet Fangs
The little girl was gone, thankfully. The diners praised it, and Xue Shao laughed it off. After drinking a bowl of hot mutton bone soup, Xue Shao settled the bill and rode away.
After leaving the horse shop and leaving the West Market and turning to Yankangfang, Xue Shao was about to speed up on his horse, when he saw four young men trotting forward sneakily from a distance, and they exchanged heads and ears.
After so many years in the special warfare industry, Xue Shao's "sense of crisis" is far stronger than that of ordinary people, and at a glance, you can see that these four young men have no intention of doing good things.
Originally, Xue Shao didn't want to meddle in things, but he immediately found that not far in front of the four men, there was a thin little girl who was running away in a hurry, dropping two steamed buns along the way, holding a pipa in his arms.
Xue Shao couldn't help but his eyebrows sank, these four strong men were chasing the little girl who played the pipa?!
Poor little girl could outrun four young men, and she was caught up in three or two steps.
"Money! Bring!! One of the brawny men roared and went to grab it.
The little girl was so frightened that she cried, "Don't rob, don't rob, this is the steamed bun my mother wants to eat!" ”
It was useless to cry and beg, the four big men couldn't help but say that the little girl's hand snatched the money clean, the pipa fell to the ground, and the steamed bun also rolled to the ground.
The little girl cried helplessly and crawled to the ground to pick up steamed buns.
"Brothers, although this little girl is thin but has clear eyebrows, she shouldn't have broken the melon yet!" One of the men smiled, and everyone understood, dragging the little girl upside down like a chicken, and went to the dark corner of the alley.
Xue Shaoze ran over and followed into the little man, and shouted: "Stop!" ”
The four strong men were frightened, and they all turned their heads to look, and saw a nobleman in brocade riding a tall horse.
Seeing that the body shape must be a weak man with no power to restrain the chicken, the four strong men suddenly relaxed and exhaled their breaths.
The little girl cried on the spot, "Brother Fairy, they spoiled the steamed buns, and my mother will be starved to death!" ”
Xue Shao couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his heart, seeing that he was about to be insulted by these four beasts, but he was still thinking about steamed buns!
"Brothers, the fat sheep hit the knife!" One of them, a strong man with a beard stared at Xue Shao and his horse, his eyes shining, "This is a good Turkic three-flowered horse, and it can be sold for at least fifty pieces if you take it to the stable!" ”
The bearded man was obviously their leader, as soon as he said this, the other three threw the little girl together, and they all pulled axes and knives in their hands when they touched their waists, and surrounded Xue Shao from front to back, left and right, "Get off the horse, spare you from death!" ”
"Horses for you, let this little girl go." Xue Shao got off the horse in no hurry, and the little girl hurriedly ran to Xue Shao's side to hide, trembling all over.
Seeing Xue Shao know each other like this, the four men were even more fearless.
Xue Shao said to the little girl: "You go quickly!" ”
"Brother Fairy, I'm afraid...... They're bad people, and they're going to hurt you with an axe! The little girl whispered timidly.
"Don't be afraid. They won't hurt me. Xue Shao patted her on the shoulder and said to the four, "You are just asking for money." I will count my words, give you horses, sell the money to Pingkangfang to be squandered, where there are many amorous women waiting to serve you. Don't embarrass this little girl anymore. ”
"Good! Seeing you so up, let's let this little go! The bearded man roared, "Don't get out yet!" ”
The little girl was so frightened that she sifted through the chaff.
Xue Shaolian persuaded and pushed, "Hurry up, go quickly!" Don't look back! ”
The little girl hesitated and frightened and ran out of the alley, picked up the pipa that had fallen before, and picked up a few steamed buns stained with mud and water slurry, looked back at Xue Shao worriedly and fearfully, and pouted her little mouth pitifully with tears.
"If you don't leave, I'll be angry!" Xue Shao let out a loud sigh.
The little girl hurried away in fright.
"Alright, the little is out of here." The bearded man raised a self-made ruler long knife and pointed at the tip of Xue Shao's nose, "Hand over all the money and goods on your body!" ”
"I need to think about it." Xue Shaoyun responded lightly, and glanced around, the place was secluded and there was no one around.
The little girl ran away.
It's good so that it doesn't scare her!
"Less nonsense! My brothers and I have more than a dozen lives on our backs, so I don't have to worry about you! The beard snorted in a deep voice, and as soon as he raised his knife, the other three were ready to step forward.
Xue Shao's eyes narrowed suddenly, and the essence in his eyes sparkled!
In an instant, the four men felt a chill all around them at the same time, and the air seemed to become a little depressed and gloomy.
Xue Shao's body exuded an astonishing aura, only those who had killed people, licked blood, and rolled in the pile of dead people would have that terrifying aura on their bodies, making the four hooligans who were rampant in front of him feel a strong fear in their hearts!
"I've thought it through." Xue Shao's voice was calm and cold, as if without a trace of emotion, "You guys, it's better to be dead." ”
"Bastard!" The four hooligans roared.
Before the words fell, Xue Shao made a move.
To capture the thief and capture the king, the first thing to do was the beard that pointed a knife at Xue Shao. The palm of his hand rose and fell, and his beard couldn't react at all, and he was cut by Xue Shao's wrist, and with a crisp click, the wrist bone was shattered, and the knife was taken off.
Xue Shao grabbed the knife as soon as he grabbed it, and with a lightning-fast backhand, he poked it at the mouth of the bearded man who was open in surprise!
I go straight into the handle, and I wear it through the back of my head!
Flashing lightning, a second before and after, the beard didn't even have time to scream, and collapsed to the ground.
"Ahh The remaining three hooligans exclaimed in surprise, anger rose from their hearts, and evil grew from their guts, and they slashed at Xue Shao with knives and axes.
Xue Shao reflexively whipped his leg, and kicked a hooligan in the neck, with a clattering sound like breaking dry cane, the hooligan suddenly fell to the ground and hit the bluestone floor, his head was cracked, and his brain burst out!
Again, less than a second.
The remaining two were dumbfounded on the spot, their minds were blank, and they only swung their axes to cut Xue Shao under the instinctive drive.
Xue Shao dodged an axe, and the tip of his left elbow struck the man's temple angrily at the moment of his misalignment, and the man began to twitch violently as he lay on the ground with a muffled snort. Almost at the same moment as he reached his elbow, Xue Shao's right hand turned into a palm and slashed the tip of the throat of the last person, and he fell to the ground on the spot and lay face to face with the person before.
Soon, the two of them rolled their eyes together and foamed at the mouth, convulsing violently as if they had been subjected to a high-voltage electric shock, only the air came out but not the air intake.
Years of military and mercenary career have made Xue Shao develop a habit that once he makes a move, he will never let the enemy have a chance to get up and shoot him in the back.
Gasping heavily, Xue Shao felt a little angry and bloody, and his hands were trembling slightly. Even though the state of mind won't change much because of this level of fighting and killing, it obviously takes time for this body to get used to.
Standing in the middle of the four corpses, watching them slowly return to tranquility, the "blood wolf" once again smelled the blood, felt the peeling of the enemy's life, and felt the familiar and cruel killing pleasure in his heart.
He squinted slightly, his tongue slid between his teeth and lips, like a hungry wolf licking its bloody fangs and spitting it on his bearded face.
The face was distorted by extreme horror, its eyes were wide, and there was a knife hilt in its mouth, the blade of which shredded his gums, and a few broken teeth fell into the mouth of the blood.
Such a scumbag should be spit on even if he dies.
His breathing gradually stabilized, his expression gradually fell silent, Xue Shao's squinted eyes gradually returned to normal, and a strange and cold smile appeared on his face.
Like an artist admiring the work he had just completed, he quietly glanced at the four corpses, mounted his horse and dressed himself, and walked out of the alley calmly and slowly.
"Skill, it's really a lot weaker."
Following the footprints left by the little girl, Xue Shao found a bridge and heard a cries coming from under the bridge.
"Mother, wake up! Wake up and eat steamed buns! ”
"Mother, wake up quickly, don't leave me alone!"
Xue Shao dismounted and jumped from the river bank into the bridge hole under the bridge. I saw the little girl lying on top of a woman in rags, crying loudly. The bridge cave was covered with a clump of grass and rags, a few of them had been picked up from nowhere for a few missing bowls and pots, and other than that, there was only a worn-out lute.
Xue Shao squatted beside the little girl and glanced at the woman, her face was dark and gray, her eyes were deep, and her lips were closed and skinny. Xue Shao probed her neck, her body temperature was slightly retained, but she had no pulse.
"Your mother has gone."
"I don't want it! …… Mother, don't leave me!! The little girl shook her mother's corpse and cried loudly, and hurriedly tore off the soiled steamed bun, pulled a piece of stuffed steamed bun, and tried to break the woman's mouth and stuff it into her mouth.
"Mother, you eat steamed buns, eat steamed buns!"
"We're full, we're going home"
“…… Woo, mother!! ”
Xue Shao patted her on the back gently, "Where do you live, and what other relatives do you have?" ”
"My family is in Yuezhou, and I only have one relative, my mother, woo!"
Yuezhou, now Yueyang Dongting Lake.
This pair of orphans and widows came from so far away. Xue Shao sighed lightly and stood quietly aside without speaking. The little girl threw herself on the woman's body and cried so much that she almost fainted.
Xue Shao waited for her to vent almost completely, and still squatted down and said softly: "Come with me, stay in my house and live in my house in the future." ”
The little girl looked at Xue Shao in surprise and said timidly, "What about my mother?" ”
"The dead are great, and the earth is safe. I will have someone collect her and prepare her coffin for burial. ”
"Kowtow to Brother Fairy!" The little girl cried again, her knees fell to the ground, and she turned around and kowtowed desperately to Xue Shao, banging.
"Well, it doesn't have to be that way." Xue Shao said, "It just so happens that there is a maid in my house who is alone, so it's better for you to go and be a companion with her." ”
"Kowtow to Brother Fairy!" The little girl didn't seem to be able to say anything else, crying and kowtowing.
"Okay, don't knock, your forehead is going to bleed." Xue Shao held her down, shook his head and smiled, "You guard your mother's body here for a while, and I'll call someone to help settle the coffin for your mother." ”
“…… Kowtow to the fairy brother! ”
Xue Shao rode back to the West Market and ran to Yu Hongye's mansion, where she happened to be. As soon as he explained the matter, Yu Hongye personally took six or seven strong men without saying a word, pushed the cart to the bridge, and the other two went separately to buy the coffin.
There were a lot of people, and the woman's body was quickly buried and dragged to a Taoist temple in Qinglongfang to handle the funeral.
The Tang Dynasty worships Taoism, and the Li family respects Lao Tzu as the ancestor. When a person dies, he can go to the Taoist temple to organize a funeral, and in the eyes of outsiders, the dead wandering woman is really a blessing.
As for the four people who were ambushed, they must have been in the government's arrest list, so let the government take care of it slowly, and Xue Shao didn't pay much attention to it at all.
By the time the funeral was arranged, it was already getting dark. Yu Hongye has been doing her best to help with the front and back of the car, and at this time she was also a little tired, so she sat on the eaves and sat on the verandah outside the mourning hall and rubbed her legs.
"Thank you, Miss Yu." Xue Shao walked over and said with a smile, "Thanks to your help today, you are really capable and kind." ”
"Don't praise me. Businessmen are mercenary, and I am also here to make some hard-earned money. Yu Hongye smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the dignified Lantian Gongzi was still so compassionate and chivalrous, which opened Hongye's eyes." ”
"In other words, you used to think I was a complete villain?"
"Momiji doesn't dare!"
Xue Shao laughed, "I dare to assert, but when that person says 'don't dare' in his mouth, he actually thinks like that in his heart." ”
Yu Hongye smiled, and the words changed, "Do you really plan to take that little girl into the mansion?" ”
"Well, let her be a companion for the moon slave."
"As far as I know, the mansion of the prince of Lantian has always been as beautiful as clouds and moons, but now there is only one moon slave left?" Yu Hongye asked.
Xue Shao smiled and raised his eyebrows secretly, "I'll tell you the truth, do you dare to listen?" ”
"Why don't you dare?" Yu Hongye was curious.
Xue Shao smiled mysteriously: "The reason is that I seem to have a common hobby with you." ”
Yu Hongye was even more curious, "What hobby?" ”
"Man. Handsome man. ”.
