() "Hey, hey! You have to look at the owner to beat the dog! A hearty voice said, and then slowly walked out of the dark shadow of the northwest corner of the house A gray-clothed man came, this person was very burly, in his thirties, wearing a gray sè old cloth robe, thick eyebrows and big eyes, high nose and wide mouth, a square face of the Chinese character, quite a wind and frost sè, when walking, suddenly raised his hand, played a thing, and said loudly: "This thing, return it to you." ”

A stone, entrained by the wind, sneered towards Yan Laosan, it was the stone that Yan Laosan had just shè out of, Yan Laosan avoided it sideways, the stone castrated rapidly, and was about to hit the air, suddenly, it was extremely weird and suddenly swirled, tracking and turning shè to Yan Laosan on the side, this time it was a big violation of common sense, no one expected the stone to turn, Yan Laosan couldn't dodge, "poof", the stone hit Yan Laosan's chest.

Yan Laosan saw that this stone was fierce, and he knew that the strength was extremely strong, but he didn't know that the stone hit his chest, and the force was like an ordinary stone, and there was no big problem, and he knew that it was the other party's subordinates who showed mercy. But even so, Yan Laosan was extremely embarrassed.

As soon as the black-haired dog saw the gray-clothed man walk out, he immediately rushed to his side and crouched on the ground, his hairy head and neck couldn't help grinding the gray-clothed man's calves, and he was in a very intimate state.

The gray-clothed man looked at the black dog, smiled, stretched out his hand to rub the black dog's head and neck, and said clearly: "My dog is very well-behaved, I don't know why I angered a few people, so I want to pounce on it like this?" ”

When the little beggar saw that the owner of the black dog had arrived, he was worried about his baked cakes, and was afraid that the black dog would eat them, so he hurriedly said, "This black dog of yours, it has robbed me of my baked cakes." ”

The gray-clothed man said, "Oh! Is it? Looking down, I saw that the black dog had three baked cakes in his mouth, but these three baked cakes were cold and black ash, but they had already become moldy, so I couldn't help but laugh, reached out and took them, and said with a faint smile: "Just for such a trivial matter?" ”

The little beggar saw that there were three baked cakes taken out, and there were a lot of them, so he was relieved, and when he thought of the scene just now, he couldn't help but say: "This big black dog of yours is so fierce, and it's very powerful!" I can't beat it, but ......" stretched out his hand and pointed at Hua Laosi, and continued: "I have to trouble this fat brother to help me fight." ”

The gray-clothed man laughed, and handed the baked cake back to the little beggar. As soon as he stretched out his hand, all of a sed, his face changed slightly, and his face showed a strange sè, but it was fleeting, and he was still playing haha, but he had withdrawn his hand.

It turned out that when the gray-clothed man handed back the baked cake, he very naturally and involuntarily pinched the baked cake, and suddenly felt that the baked cake was cold and hard under a pinch, and he didn't care about it at the moment.

To know how great the strength in the hands of the gray-clothed man is, it is a bluestone brick, which can be pinched into powder with only three points of force, but now even if ten forces come out, the baked cake is still standing still, how can it not make the gray-clothed man extremely surprised, the gray-clothed man was shocked, and he realized: "No wonder these three people are so strong, this baked cake is only afraid that it is a strange treasure, and I don't know, these two people pushed this beggar child out to speak, I am afraid that they want to deceive me"

The gray-clothed man was shocked in his heart, and asked, "A few friends, where did this baked cake come from?" ”

As soon as the gray-clothed man's voice fell, he saw Yan Laosan and Hua Laosi looking at the little beggar at the same time, and there was nothing else unusual in their eyes, and the gray-clothed man thought in his heart: "It turns out that this baked cake is really this child's." Then he turned to the little beggar and said softly, "This little friend, who gave you this baked cake?" ”

The little beggar hesitated in his heart, whether he should tell the reason for the baked cakes, and when he saw the righteous and awe-inspiring eyes of the gray-clothed man, he couldn't help but laugh at his own heart, and then said: "It was given to me by a white-haired old man this morning, these three baked cakes are very important to me, can you give them back to me?" ”

The gray-clothed man nodded, "Oh", and said, "However, these three baked cakes are already moldy, and if you eat them, you will get sick." ”

The little beggar nodded and said, "I know, thank you for reminding me." ”

The gray-clothed man smiled slightly, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly raised his voice and said, "In this way, I have a gold coin here, can I exchange it with you?" ”

Yan Laosan and Hua Laosi were stunned when they heard this, and they all thought to themselves: "A gold coin can be exchanged for at least thirty or forty baked cakes, this gray-clothed man doesn't look like a stupid person, with his jīng ming, how can he do such a loss-making deal, if he is kind enough to give the little beggar, just give him gold coins, why do you have to exchange his moldy baked cakes?" ”

Hua Laosi laughed and said, "Could it be that Your Excellency has a hobby of collecting moldy baked cakes?" ”

The gray-clothed man glanced at Hua Laosi coldly and said, "Not bad! I have this habit under it. ”

Yan Laosan and Hua Laosi were stunned when they heard this.

The gray-clothed man looked at the little beggar with soft eyes, and said softly, "How is it?" Children. ”

The little beggar shook his head, looked firm, and said, "No, this baked cake is really important to me." ”

The gray-clothed man had already expected that the little beggar would not agree, in fact, he offered a gold coin at the price, but also to try the little beggar's reaction, if the little beggar nodded happily and agreed, he would not make this exchange, now the little beggar shook his head and did not allow, immediately confirmed what he thought, which shows that this baked cake is really not so simple.

At that moment, the gray-clothed man smiled slightly, stared at the little beggar, and said: "Do you think that a gold coin is too little, I also feel the same way, so let's do it, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand gold coins, whatever you price, how about it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the three of them were frightened, and the little beggar was not to be surprised, for he was a man in the know, and understood the preciousness of this baked cake. Yan Laosan and Hua Laosi were so surprised that they almost couldn't close their mouths, and both of them thought: "This gray-clothed man looks like he is bright, but I'm afraid he is a big fool, how can anyone pay such a high price to buy three moldy baked cakes." ”

Seeing the little beggar's surprised expression, the gray-clothed man smiled and said, "It's okay, even if you set a price that you think is appropriate, no matter how much you want." ”

The little beggar's heart was churning, and he thought to himself: "With so much money, it is enough to change my life, maybe the white-haired old man has already expected this scene, and the reason why he baked me cakes and said that he could change my life is what he meant." I thought so, but the little beggar faintly felt that this was not the case at all, and thought: "If this is the case, the white-haired old man knows that these three baked cakes are very valuable, why not sell them for 100,000 or 80,000 yuan in the morning, as long as you share a little with me, it can change my life, so why bother doing it?" Then he thought, "If I really sell this baked cake, and it is not what the white-haired old man pointed out, but I will be wrong, and then it will not be bad." Turning to refute himself, he secretly said: "Since the white-haired old man has handed over the baked cakes to me, it is up to me to use it, and now that I have this opportunity, I should take the opportunity to act......

For a while, the little beggar's heart was in turmoil, his face and eyebrows were constantly changing, his heart was turning over and over, and his thoughts were full of thoughts.

The gray-clothed man saw that the little beggar was changing between his eyebrows, and he looked hesitant, and he had no doubts about this baked cake as a treasure, so he said: "Little friend, don't worry!" Think it through slowly. After speaking, he smiled slightly, turned his eyes to look at Yan Laosan and Hua Laosi, and thought, "Oops! Although these two people don't know about such a blatant sky-high exchange of mine, as long as they guess a little, they will inevitably be suspicious, don't hurt my business. Immediately, he said: "This little friend, if not, please follow me to a quiet place, you think about it carefully, and it is not too late for us to discuss it slowly." After saying that, he left with the little beggar.

Yan Laosan and Hua Laosi were shocked when they heard this, and they were waiting to stop them. But I heard the little beggar say: "This uncle, it's not that I'm disgusted with more money and less money, but this baked cake is really precious to me, even if you pay a thousand gold, ten thousand gold, I can't sell it to you, I'm really sorry." ”

It turned out that the little beggar had made up his mind that if he sold the baked cake at this time, it would be very troublesome if he made a mistake, but even if he didn't sell it now, since the baked cake was so precious, there would still be a chance for it later.

Yan Laosan and Hua Laosi heard the little beggar say this, and they all sighed secretly in their hearts, if the little beggar was willing to leave with the gray-clothed man, with the gray-clothed man's skills, the two of them really didn't dare to stop it, and now they heard the little beggar say this, and the two of them felt relieved.

The gray-clothed man said "oh", nodded, and said: "If you are not interested in money, then what do you want, just point it out, whatever you want in exchange, I will find it for you, how about it?" ”

Hua Laosi grinned when he heard this, and was about to say sarcastically: "It's up to you!" What nonsense! As soon as he opened his mouth, he remembered the ability of the gray-clothed man before, but he was too late, so he swallowed this sentence hard, only tsk, tsk,

The gray-clothed man squinted his eyes and glanced at Hua Laosi coldly, his eyes were as cold as a sharp blade, and Hua Laosi's body trembled when he saw it.

The gray-clothed man withdrew his gaze again, turned to look at the little beggar, and his cold gaze softened again.

The little beggar shook his head and said, "Uncle Lao bothered, but now this baked cake is the most important thing to me, no matter what the item, I will not exchange it."

Yan Laosan, who was bored on the side, saw that the gray-clothed man was willing to exchange the little beggar's moldy baked cakes at a sky-high price, and he had guessed that there must be something strange in the baked cakes, so he searched his intestines and scraped his stomach to find that there was a black dog next to the stranger, who was not only strong in skills, but also spent a lot of money and did not change his face. ”

The gray-clothed man snorted coldly, his eyes were as cold as frost, and he brushed towards Yan Laosan.

Yan Laosan was glared at by the gray-clothed man's ice-like eyes, only to feel that his eyes were sharp, and he felt a chill in his heart, and secretly thought: "This 'Nantian Dog King' spirit retort is really powerful, but he has a chivalrous reputation, so he shouldn't mess around." Then he plucked up his courage again, and said: "This baked cake is this little ghost's thing, he doesn't want to buy and sell, and you don't return it to him, you can't rob it, hehe......" After a pause, he saw that the gray-clothed man's face did not suddenly show anger, and continued: "If it is spread that the 'Nantian Dog King' spirit retort actually robbed a little beggar's moldy baked cake, I don't know how the people of the world will feel." ”

As soon as Yan Laosan's voice fell, Hua Laosi beside him suddenly exclaimed loudly: "You are really the 'Southern Heavenly Dog King' spirit retort?" After asking, seeing that the gray-clothed man was silent, and did not deny it, it was a tacit acquiescence, so he muttered to himself: "No wonder...... No wonder this black dog is so powerful, no wonder you have such a big tone. ”

"Nantian Dog King" Lingzi has the intention of taking the baked cake as his own, but it is also based on a fair exchange, to see that his identity has been recognized, and the exchange seems to seem that he is bullying others, it is not good, he is a hearty and chic person, everything but ask for fate, both seeing that this baked cake has no fate with himself, he will not force it at the moment, haha laughed, handed the baked cake back to the little beggar, and said loudly: "It's just a joke, why should everyone take it seriously." ”

The little beggar gained and lost several times, and finally got back the baked cake, and his heart was overjoyed, and he said repeatedly: "Thank you!" Thanks a lot! ”

The "Nantian Dog King" Lingzizi caught a glimpse of the little beggar's face full of joy, and he was also very happy at the moment, smiled slightly, and said, "I wonder where the children are going?" ”

The little beggar's face, which was originally very cheerful, suddenly sank when he heard the words, and his heart darkened, remembering that he had no fixed place to live, and he had nowhere to go, and he couldn't help but shake his head silently.

Although the "Nantian Dog King" Lingzi met the little beggar for only a moment, he felt that he was very close to him, and there was a sense of pity in his heart, so he said: "If you don't dislike it, how about going to be a guest?" ”

The little beggar was overjoyed and was about to agree, but suddenly remembered that he had promised Yan and Hua about it in order to come back to find the baked cakes, and said that he would go with the two of them, and he would obey the orders of the two.

Seeing the little beggar, the "Nantian Dog King" Lingzhizi was instantly excited and gloomy, and guessed in his heart: "Don't be threatened by those two." His eyes burst into light, swept Yan and Hua, and said in a deep voice: "I want to invite the children to be guests, I don't know what the two of you think?" ”

When Hua Laosi heard this, he was very anxious, and suddenly blurted out: "I can't go!" ”

"Humph!" With a bang, Lingzhizi suddenly raised his eyebrows, glared at Hua Laosi, and the cold light in his eyes burst out, like an illusory ice blade, stabbing straight out, this cold blade's eyes were like substance, stabbing Hua Laosi, Hua Laosi looked at each other, and suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and couldn't help but shudder.

Yan Laosan saw that Linggongzi suddenly became angry, and he was afraid that he would be angry, so he started to do something, and hurriedly said: "This little ghost has made an agreement with us, and we need to go and do something important together. He turned his head to look at the little beggar and said, "Little ghost, you shouldn't break your word!" ”

The spirit retort retracted his gaze and looked at the little beggar with an inquiring look in his eyes.

The little beggar nodded, looked at Yan Laosan, and said, "I promised the two of you, please rest assured, I will not break my word." Then he said to Lingzhizi: "This uncle, I understand your kindness, but unfortunately I promised the two of them first, and once I said it, there was no reason to repent, so I could only look forward to the next time." ”

When the spirit retort heard the little beggar's words, he felt simple and sincere, and even his heart, and when he landed, his affection for the little beggar increased suddenly, and he nodded: "That's it!" It's a good thing to keep your promises, it's just ......" Linggongzi groaned, looked at Yan and Hua, and continued: "It's just that I am afraid that you and the two of them will go......"

Hua Laosi's face was full of surprise, and he shouted in a rough voice: "You are afraid! What are you afraid of? ”

Lingzizi smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid that the two of you will rob him of his baked cakes." ”

Hua Laosi was stunned and said blankly: "Let's go grab him and burn the cake?" Why rob him of burning cookies? ”

When the little beggar heard this, he was also at a loss: "Why did they rob me of my baked cakes?" Deng immediately realized that "when they saw that this baked cake was worth so much money, they must have felt that it was precious, and they would inevitably have the heart to snatch it." Thinking of this, he immediately asked Yan and Hua, "You don't really want to rob me of my baked cakes, do you?" ”

When Hua Laosi heard it, he seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, and suddenly, the muscles on his face twisted, his nostrils were panting, and he shouted: "I'll go and grab your moldy baked cake!" Do I scarce your moldy baked cakes? Boy, what are you kidding, who the fuck do you think of me as Hua Laosi? ”

Seeing that the little beggar was so straightforward, Ling Zhenzi couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and knew that Hua Laosi was a "straight intestine", a straightforward person, and he would never snatch the little beggar's baked cake, so he immediately said: "Naturally, you won't snatch the moldy baked cake, but it's hard to guarantee that your friend doesn't have this heart." ”

Hua Laosi turned his head and asked, "Yan Laosan, don't you really want that moldy baked cake?" ”

Yan Laosan found that there was something strange hidden in the baked cakes, but he originally had a heart to check the truth, but looking at the shape shì so developed, it was impossible to check it again, as long as he showed a little covetousness, he was afraid that he would not be able to do it, Suo xìng did it more directly, stretched out his four fingers at the moment, looked up to the sky and swore an oath: "The gods of Xiwu are above, if I Yan Laosan has the heart to snatch these three baked cakes, I will definitely not die well......"

Hua Laosi interrupted with a "phew" and shouted in a rough voice: "If you can't rob, you won't rob!" Yan Laosan, why are you still making such a big move? I wouldn't ask for that moldy baked cake, but I'm too lazy to swear. He turned his head to the spirit retort and said, "Now you won't be afraid anymore!" Then he looked at the little beggar and exclaimed, "Boy, it's time for us to go, and we're on our way!" ”

The little beggar nodded, looked at the spirit retort, and felt his concern for himself in his heart, and felt his attachment to the ground, only to feel that his nose was sour, and he was crying.

Lingzi also felt that the little beggar was straightforward and cute, so he reached into his arms and took out a small black sè cylinder, handed it to the little beggar, and said: "There is a 'guide bee' in it, if you have anything to look for me, open this cylinder and release the 'guide bee', and I will come in less than half a day." ”

The little beggar nodded, reached out and took it, cherishing it in his arms.

Lingzizi patted the little beggar on the shoulder, glanced at Yan and Hua, and said to the little beggar in a serious tone: "Do it yourself, cherish it!" After finishing speaking, he turned around, patted the civet dog beside him, and a few ups and downs flashed and disappeared into the dark shadows of the building.

The little beggar looked at the place where the spirit retort disappeared in a daze, and suddenly Hua Laosi slapped his shoulder suddenly, and heard Hua Laosi shout in a rough voice: "What else do you look at, I can't see a ghost anymore, boy, we are also on the road, let's go." ”

The little beggar stared deeply at the place where the spirit retort had left, then turned his head and followed Yan and Hua away.

At that time, the moon hangs in the sky, the stars are shining, the breeze is gentle, and the shadows are floating.

The three of them turned back, and after a while, they walked out of Chengxi Avenue. Seven bends and eight turns to the outskirts of the city, but see the black shadows in front of them, it is a large woods, at this moment, the four fields are quiet, only the breeze blows the sound of the woods "rustling".

Suddenly, Yan Laosan stretched out his hand to stop it, and the three of them stopped, Yan Laosan listened attentively, and the jīng light flashed in his eyes. The little beggar was surprised, and listened carefully, only to feel that there was silence around him, and there was no strange sound.

Yan Laosan glanced at Hua Laosi, Hua Laosi nodded and comprehended, then raised his eyebrows, and shouted in a rough voice: "Who is hidden in the forest ahead, get out of your Grandpa Hua." The voice was sent far away for a long time.

Suddenly, a sharp laugh came from the woods of the black crows, startling the birds of the forest and flying wildly.
