Chapter Seventy-Two: The Rise of the Good City A conversation with the old man
A few pairs of dirty hands reached over and grabbed Liang Yunsheng, "You let go of me!" Xue Wu said, and a smile appeared on the beggar's face.
"Where are you going to take us? We'll go ourselves. Liang Yunsheng said, and the little beggar paused, "It's okay! ”
Liang Yunsheng asked, "Where are you going?" ”
No one paid any attention to him, and after a while he came to a place where he could see that it was a very dilapidated hut, and not a single green grass could be found around it.
An old man walked out of it, his face was thin, his hair was gray, but his eyes were piercing, and he was bright, "You can come back, I can't starve to death today." ”
Except for the little beggar, the rest of the beggars all bowed their heads, and there was nothing to say, and the little beggar walked in front of the people and said, "I will come back today to take your place, and I will be the beggar leader in the future, and I will be the real boss." The little beggar patted his chest.
The old man was stunned, but soon he looked up and laughed, "Hahaha! I thought some powerful person had joined us, but he was just such a little beggar, and he was the weakest of our beggar gang." As he spoke, the old man gestured with his hand in the air, but no one made a mocking sound when he said it, and he still lowered his head, the little beggar was unusual today.
Hearing the word "weak", the little beggar was completely enraged, and said angrily: "I will fight you alone until I die in battle." ”
"With a wave of my sleeve, I can put you to death. The old man turned and looked at a fallen thatch on the hut, and his face became serious.
"Today, I will let you lose at my feet in front of everyone, so that you will never be able to hold your head up. ”
When he heard this, the old man suddenly became a little panicked, he didn't expect that the little beggar who had been following him would be so resentful of him, and the little beggar had such an aggressive attitude, he simply hated himself to the core.
The old man turned his face and saw the little beggar's face, and his face immediately flushed, for when he saw the little beggar's eyes, he saw fear.
"It's not impossible if you want to fight me alone, the strongest is the leader, this is our rule. ”
"We're going to do it now, heads-up, just you and me. The little beggar was carried away by the desire to be the boss, stretched out his finger and pointed at the old man and said, in his eyes, there is no distinction between old and young, only strong and weak.
The old man glanced at the pile of people, saw the large pile of glittering gold, and then looked at Liang Yunsheng and Xue Wu who were arrested, and suddenly had an idea, "The people here today are all my subordinates, no matter who wants to become the leader of the beggar gang, they must have strong strength, and they can get the brand ordering the beggar gang from me, if they can't, then even if they die, I won't hand over the brand." ”
Today is the decision between me and you, one above and one below, and today is the last day you will stand on my head. The little beggar said.
The old man suddenly remembered that he had received the token engraved with the word "benevolence", and remembered the bloody scene when he took over the position of the boss, and he felt that he was going to suffer the same ending, so much to his horror that he didn't expect this moment to come so quickly, and he was a bean-sized child.
Soon the old man put away his fragility and began to read the rules: "The first article of the beggar gang, you must defeat everyone from the boss down to be qualified to challenge the boss and take over the position of the previous boss." ”
"Who would dare to challenge me?" said the little beggar, clenching his fists, turning to all those who had their heads bowed.
No one dared to speak, and the person who had bullied him before just raised his head and immediately lowered it again.
"I'm going to challenge you!" Liang Yunsheng said, and Xue Wu watched him walk out, and a legendary emotion arose.
"Just you?!" said the little beggar, propped himself up.
"How can you have the final say on the victory or defeat in this world, and if you haven't tried, how can you say that I am not qualified? What if you lose?" Liang Yunsheng said a little provocatively.
There was a sound of ridicule in the crowd, but soon that kind of ridicule became another meaning, the person who had bullied the little beggar before, but now he can only swallow his anger, just as Liang Yunsheng said, this kind of victory or defeat, who can say for sure, how can you know if you can win if you don't try the ending.
"If I lose, I'll give you my life. The little beggar said.
"How much is your life worth?"
There was another burst of laughter in the crowd, and the old man seemed to see some hope.
"Then I'll kill you. ”
"My life is my life, not what you want, as for the gold, it is naturally mine, and you don't want to take any of it. ”
"You ......" the little beggar was so angry that he suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Son, we're just homeless people, and we're all going to do it, and we're going to do it......," said the old man, but he seemed to have seen the end.
"Sir, now that you are hungry and beat others, it seems that you are stingy, if you lose to this child because of stomach problems, won't it be a shame for you? I have already smelled the aroma of the meat in it, but I will bring it out, let everyone eat a full meal and then see how about solo?" Liang Yunsheng said, the old man just looked back and laughed.
"Hahaha! I didn't expect you, a newcomer, to be a gluttonous person. Xue Wu stepped forward and said to Liang Yunsheng, "Be careful of poison, this can't be a conspiracy they laid out?"
Liang Yunsheng ignored Xue Wu, and just said, "You can watch me perform well later, and when I win, you will be my beggar wife." Xue Wu's face turned red instantly, and her heart was pounding, is this Liang Yunsheng also implying that he also likes himself?
After a while, the old man instructed everyone to take out the beef and dog meat hidden in it, "Everyone, our food today is equivalent to a cow's, we will take advantage of the breath of heaven and earth to find some firewood to come back, we will cook these grains and eat them, and open our bellies to eat to our heart's content." ”
The beggars cheered and walked into the woods, and the little beggar glared at Liang Yunsheng, but immediately left angrily.
"I'm going to make you regret it. The little beggar said to Liang Yunsheng.
The old man came over, beckoned Xue Wu into his room, and asked Wu Xue to rest in a room where no one was in the house, and let Liang Yunsheng follow him into another room, the old man put his hand on Liang Yunsheng's shoulder, and said, "It's worthy of being young and promising." ”
Liang Yunsheng was puzzled, "Why did you say this?"
The old man told Liang Yunsheng to sit down, and sat beside him, with expectations in his eyes, "You don't know, although I am the boss here, I have come over all these years, and it has not been easy all the way, but now it is good, someone is going to replace me, I am relieved, if I talk about the boss of the beggars, it is not as good as a random good citizen on the street, how I think about the outside world, one day for a thief for life, one day for a beggar, and the next life will still be this life!"
"Uncle, don't be like this, I'm just a foreigner, don't meddle in, if you have the right candidate, but please let us go, we're just a person who was intercepted halfway. Liang Yunsheng knelt on one knee and said with his palms and fists.
"Hurry up, you worship, the old man can't afford it, men have gold under their knees, except for women, don't bow down to others casually. ”
"If you don't let us go today, don't you want to make money first and then kill yourself?" Liang Yunsheng stared at the old man's face, the old man was stunned, he didn't expect that this child just wanted to live a free life, but if he left, the little beggar would become the next boss, that child was too angry, maybe he would kill his fellow disciples.
As for the future and fate of the beggars, naturally they should not be casually handed over to a person who has no heart for love.
"Please, save me, help me!" the old man knelt on the ground, he had just finished saying that there was gold under the man's knees, but now he said such a thing, which shocked Liang Yunsheng, "What are you doing? How can I save you?"
Liang Yunsheng helped the old man up, and the two sat together with a tacit understanding, "You don't know, if you let that kid take over me, you will naturally bring the people of the beggar gang to the tip of the knife to walk the rivers and lakes, I am the leader of the beggar gang, I can't watch him destroy my people like this." ”
"Uncle, you can rest assured, that kid can't become the climate, with you, no matter how angry you are, you can suppress it, I just want to leave, and I hope you open a back door and let me go!"
The old man took out the sign of the beggar gang, handed it to Liang Yunsheng, and said: "This is the brand of the beggar gang, although the brand is light, but it carries the lives of many people, if you don't agree to me, I will destroy it." ”
"Didn't you say that you came according to the rules? If I can't beat that kid, naturally this brand is a little beggar's, what is your purpose in doing this?"
The old man looked at the sign in the palm of his hand, looked at the word benevolence on it, and grabbed the sign tightly with his five fingers, and his teeth were also clenched, "This is fate!"
The old man walked to the windowsill and looked at the sky outside, and suddenly turned around and said to Liang Yunsheng: "This time you are single-handed, if you win, you can leave, because then you are the leader of the group, naturally no one will stop you, if you lose, if I also lose, then we may all die under the obscenity of the new boss, this is what you want to see? Some battles are not won if you want to win, but we must win." ”
"But?"
Liang Yunsheng was about to say something, but the old man had already gone out, "Girl, come out, everyone is back, let's go to the fire together." ”
Xue Wu walked out of the room, and when Xue Wu came out, the old man had a smiling face, "The girl has good eyesight, and it is my blessing to meet the girl in this life." ”
"Why do you say that?" asked Xue Wu.
Old man just haha!
"The girl is destined to be rich, and the people in the room are the only ones in their hearts. ”
Xue Wu watched the old man walk in front of him, as if he saw the past of a god, and unconsciously asked himself: "Is he really only me in his heart?" But no matter what it was, Xue Wu still smiled slightly, and turned around to find Liang Yunsheng.
Liang Yunsheng put his hand behind his back, "This old man wants me to win, it seems to be sincere, if I can't win this time, although I won't take my life, but it will also cause a lot of trouble, Xiaoxue will also be implicated, and when I first came to this world, I have no place to stay, it seems that this time I really have to win." ”
As he walked to the door of the room, Xue Wu greeted him with a smile on her face.
"Hurry up and get out, everyone is back, let's go to the fire." Xue Wu was very happy, took Liang Yunsheng's hand and ran out.
"What's wrong with this Xiaoxue?" Liang Yunsheng looked at her hair bun and secretly felt sudden.
