Chapter 4: The Dying
After breakfast, the shopkeeper of Luo Da said to Luo Guichen: "You don't have to work today, go and report your name." As he spoke, he put the pickles in front of him with chopsticks and put them in his mouth, and took a sip of porridge with a grunt and said, "Alas, by the way, we don't have much rice, you and Wang Da go to the rice shop to pull back a car." ”
Hmm, you don't want to match me, right? Luo Guichen glanced at the shopkeeper Luo suspiciously, this is not impossible, sometimes he thinks, there is such a black-bellied Uncle Luo, it is difficult for him to be shrewd.
Luojia Inn is also a better place in Ningyuan Town, and the oil and water are relatively objective in the peak season. Therefore, Luo Guichen didn't understand why he ate pickles early in the morning, which was so shabby. But after a long time, he also developed the habit of eating pickles and sending porridge like Uncle Luo.
"This pickle is our family's ancestral secret recipe, and its ability to eat it is as great as a cow. He remembered that he had been deceived in this way.
The shopkeeper Luo Da ate quickly, wiped his mouth and said, "Really, when did Lao Tzu lie to you." Then he took out a delicate little wooden box from his bosom, put it on the table, and said, "Open it and take a look, this is the day I picked you up, and I picked it up one piece." ”
Luo Guichen was a little stunned, he realized that this might be related to his life experience, maybe his parents were still alive, he stared at the small wooden box and said for a while: "Throw it away." Uncle Luo, this thing has nothing to do with me, and it can't be said to cause trouble. ”
"It has information about your parents. The shopkeeper Luo Da smiled on his chubby face.
Luo Guichen did not hesitate at all this time: "Actually, you are better than them." ”
Luo Da's shopkeeper's hair was slightly gray, his body was not tall, and his skin was very rough, so he patted Luo Guichen vigorously and said: "It's still your kid who is righteous, and I have raised you for so many years." Although you Uncle Luo and I don't have any skills, when I was young, I was also a famous little bully in the rivers and lakes. ”
Luo Guichen casually threw the wooden box aside and said, "Yes, yes, Uncle Luo used to be a big hero, can the big hero reveal something about Xiuzhen?"
"Cultivating truth is to merge the aura of heaven and earth, refine oneself, break the layers of barriers in the body, move mountains and reclaim the sea, steal the sky and change the day, and millions of corpses are ambushed at a glance. The shopkeeper Luo said, and there was envy in his eyes.
Holding the step of his chest, Luo Guichen felt a throbbing, and the jade pendant seemed to fly away.
The shopkeeper of Luo Da continued: "The longevity of the cultivator is endless, but I still hope that you will be a mortal and be safe and stable. But I don't think you have this mind, you can go to the Dragon Riding Club to sign up today, this is a good opportunity for major sects to select disciples. Somehow, I booked here this year, but I told you in advance, I am very relieved of you for the literary test, but the qualification test can not be forced, and if it doesn't work, I will come back to inherit the inn. ”
Luo Guichen answered and hurriedly walked out.
"Where are you going to take me with this step?" The gravitational pull of the step-shake in his arms became stronger and stronger, and Luo Guichen could only follow.
Wang Da, who was guarding the door of the inn, said hello, but the latter ignored him at all.
"Little brat, I'm quite arrogant, I don't know how to die. Ambassador Wang threw a whip on the yellow horse with all his strength, and the horse ran faster with a painful sound.
Wang Da is a well-known idleman in Ningyuan Town, as Wang Da's neighbor, Luo Da's shopkeeper often helps him, but in Wang Da's eyes, this is not much different from charity.
"After this vote, I don't have to worry about it for the rest of my life. The more Wang Da thought about it, the happier he became, and he was not afraid that Yu Chengxuan would break his promise.
The sky was clear, the sun shone on people's bodies warmly, this was the first good weather after continuous rain, and the entire Ningyuan Town was busy.
"Daoyou, have you signed up?"
"It's starting today, isn't it tomorrow? Made, where's it? The middle-aged man stuffed a mouthful of bread into his mouth and said vaguely. Then he spit out the bread before he could speak clearly.
"Eastern suburbs, let's go, I already saw a long queue when I signed up. ”
"Let's go and sign up, the number of places is limited, and it will be gone if you report late. ”
At the Luojia Inn, the young man listened to the movement below and unconsciously asked the old man sitting on the chair: "Master, the disciple knows that the Dragon Riding Club will start tomorrow, so why did he sign up today." ”
The boy tied his hair neatly. The tone of his voice was very light, and he couldn't see a trace of emotion, and even his eyes were unwavering.
"It doesn't matter. These young people can toss as they like, and it's not an important thing. You can cultivate with peace of mind. The old man was dressed in fine satin, and his tone was unmistakable.
The eastern suburbs are the liveliest.
The mortals and cultivators who participated in the Dragon Riding Festival all gathered together, and the vendors also increased, and the fragrance was overflowing.
The nearly 100-zhang white jade platform shone beautifully in the sunlight, and several shops in the world were red-eyed.
"I've lived so long and I've never seen such a big white jade. ”
"Today is really an eye-opener, and it is really wealthy. There was envy in his tone.
Yu Fangzheng also arrived, with fluttering white clothes and outstanding appearance, which was quite a bit of a standout taste.
He said lightly: "The white jade has a good texture and is extremely hard, and it is in good condition, so it has always been a precious thing, and this hundred zhang white jade can also be regarded as a rare treasure." ”
With a whoosh, the sound of breaking the air was getting closer and closer.
I saw a few swords in the air from far to near, different colors, and only stopped when they reached the top of the white jade platform, and everyone saw clearly at this time that it turned out to be five people.
The leader was a red-haired old man, and when he didn't land, he said: "This poor country really has a talent, you kid is good." He looked in the direction of Yu Fangzheng.
The latter was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, but said with a calm expression: "The senior has won the award." ”
The rest of them also glanced at Yu Fangzheng absently.
"Sun Daoyou, I haven't seen your eyes for a few years, but they are getting more and more vicious, and such good seedlings have been picked by you. It was a middle-aged beautiful woman who spoke, her clothes were relatively revealing, half of her snow-white thighs were exposed, and her voice was coquettish, causing everyone below to swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Of course, there are some people who are close enough to start doing those dirty things right now.
The middle-aged beauty glanced at the latter, her eyes couldn't see the meaning clearly, and the latter only felt that the blood was about to overflow. But the next moment it turned into panic.
Suddenly, a big black snake appeared out of thin air, and swallowed those restless people into its stomach with unmistaken precision, the scales on the surface of the black snake were shining, and two fangs were set on the huge snake's head.
"Meixiangmen's cheapness is not easy to take advantage of, come back, Xiao Hei, just fill your stomach. The middle-aged beauty chuckled and walked in the direction of her sect.
Silence is there. When he landed, a few timid people were so frightened that they were urinating.
And some people are envious, such as Yu Fangzheng.
He lowered his head and asked, "Is there any news from Wang Da?"
The pock-faced young man said: "Yes, big brother, Wang Da said that the kid went upstream to the river, you see, let's go over now." "A dark face.
"Well, things are done cleanly, how can this Wang Da get you to know?" Yu Fangzheng was obviously in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Let's go, go and see how those outlaws are doing." ”
Saying that, Luo Guichen followed the steps in his arms to the upper reaches of the river, he was a little dizzy, and sat by the river. Staring at the abyss in front of him, he was silent.
This is a natural barrier, the river comes up and divides into two places, one through the town of Ningyuan, and the other deep under the cliff.
Luo Guichen looked at the step shake in front of him worriedly, the step shake was very beautiful, two watery bamboos were embellished at the end, he was sure that he had seen it many times, but every time he saw it, it was like seeing it for the first time.
"What the hell is this! I can't throw it away, it's up to me. He felt as if he had some kind of connection with Bu Shao.
But at this moment, the footsteps of many people suddenly came behind him.
"Yo, boy, it's a good place. A slightly hoarse voice came.
Luo Guichen turned around, only to see that there were many more people behind him, all of them were slightly pale, but the background of the skin could still be seen as a dark man.
"Who are you?"
A man with a scar on his face stood up, burly and fat, and said, "You may not have heard of my name Zhang Jie, but you must know about the tragedy in the east of the city five years ago. I have been imprisoned for five years, and if I arrest you and my brother, I will be acquitted. ”
The man next to Zhang Jie took out a rusty knife from behind his back and said fiercely: "Don't embarrass us, this is our only way to live." ”
As he spoke, he walked towards Luo Guichen, and Zhang Jie snorted coldly: "Gangzi, put it down, we just arrest him, there is no need to use a knife." ”
Luo Guichen thought quickly in his mind, five years ago, Zhang Jie, the tragedy of destroying the door, gradually formed a complete vein in his mind, he said: "Uncle Zhang, if you knew that the woman was pregnant with Liujia, would you still kill her?"
Today's midnight is Luo Guichen's twelfth birthday, and he has to be with Uncle Luo every year, and this year is the same.
Killing people to pay for their lives, paying off debts, it is justified, and the people of Ningyuan Town think the same, but the woman who is pregnant with Liujia is also brutally killed, even if he Zhang Jie has a great reason, it is also an executioner, so he only tries and does not kill, and does not convict, but in fact, this is the most cruel criminal law, and he can't escape prison for the rest of his life.
The scar on Zhang Jie's face squirmed accordingly with his frown, and Luo Guichen's words poked into his heart at once, and at the end, he took a deep look at the latter before saying, "Yes, you can't think about revenge." ”
Luo Guichen took a few steps back, and in a blink of an eye, the abyss was blown, the wind was very strong, and his hair was blown scattered, but he said unusually calmly: "Are you afraid that I will jump from here?" He turned his head to look behind him.
As soon as Gangzi moved, he was stopped by Zhang Jie, stared at Luo Guichen and said, "No wonder he wants to kill you, it turns out to be like this." At the age of ten, you are so wise and close to demons, I really can't imagine how far you will go in the future. ”
Smack
A stone fell into the abyss and disappeared.
"You know what your value to the Yu family is. Luo Guichen said slowly: "So I don't think we need to, the fish is dead." What do you say?"
Zhang Jie stopped with interest and said, "Okay, I want to hear what you do." ”
Luo Guichen also laughed, not letting his guard down at all, he was facing a group of outlaws.
