Bai Chu's dirty fist clenched tightly on a copper plate he had just picked up, and stopped in front of a steamed bun shop that was closing the stall. The only steamed bun left on the bamboo cage looked very white and soft, and it was already an extremely delicious food for her.

After the vendors who were closing the stalls stacked all the tables and chairs, they turned around and saw the unkempt beggar in front of the stall, and they couldn't help but be surprised that there could still be a beggar who did not steal or rob, and could always stand in front of his stall and look around, without the intention of stealing. He felt pity and asked, "Beggar, do you want to buy steamed buns?"

Bai Chu was silent, his right hand stretched out, revealing a copper plate in his palm, and pointed to the steamed bun with his left hand.

The merchant thought to himself, it is really commendable to know how to pay for food so far, this steamed bun was originally two cents a piece, or not, so he nodded, took the beggar's copper plate, and handed over the remaining steamed bun.

"Thank you. After the beggar took it, he thanked him in a low voice, put the steamed bun in his arms, and turned to leave.

When the vendor heard it, it turned out to be a girl's voice, and he couldn't help but sigh when he looked at her thin and thin figure.

Bai Chu found a secluded street, leaned against the wall under the eaves, squatted down, broke a corner of steamed buns from his arms, and ate the water in the kettle on his waist little by little.

There was a slight sound in the pile of debris in the depths of the alley, as if something was moving inside, Bai Chu looked at the pile of debris vigilantly, stood up little by little, and gently moved his steps back against the wall, wanting to leave the street. But I saw a young man staggering out of the pile of debris, his clothes were dirty, his messy hair could be seen to have been carefully combed, and he looked like a sword eyebrow and starry eyes, a little handsome.

He went straight to Bai Chu, Bai Chu took two steps back, and he took two steps forward, always maintaining a certain distance. His pale lips opened and closed slightly, and he pointed to the kettle at her waist, and said weakly, "Can you give me some water?" I haven't eaten for two days. ”

Bai Chu saw his depressed appearance, relaxed his vigilance, untied the kettle at his waist, and handed it to the young man.

He took the kettle and drank it in a big gulp, choking on it and coughing incessantly because he drank it so violently. Bai Chu stood aside, patted him gently on the back, and broke half of the steamed bun in his arms and handed it to him.

The young man saw the steamed bun handed over by Bai Chu, his eyes widened, and he looked at Bai Chu again, she was also depressed, so he rejected Bai Chu's steamed bun: "If I eat this steamed bun, you won't have anything to eat, and I still won't eat it." ”

Bai Chucong took out the other half of the steamed bun and said, "It's okay, I still have half of it, you can eat this half, I can still find other ways to eat." ”

After hearing this, the young man slid his throat up and down, swallowed his saliva, took it, and devoured the steamed buns. Bai Chu looked at it from the side and said, "After eating, drink some water, you will feel a lot fuller." It's just that you have to drink the water slowly, otherwise you will choke again. ”

The boy was grateful, and whimpered, "Thank you, you are so good." ”

Bai Chu shook his head: "The same is the end of the world. She carefully looked at the clothes on the young man's body, and recognized at a glance that it was a fabric from Zongcheng Jiachang Garden, which was very precious, and asked, "Where is your home? Why did you come here?"

The young man replied: "My name is Ah Sheng, my home is in Zongcheng, and I came here with my fourth uncle five days ago to run errands, but I was robbed by bandits halfway and kidnapped me. It took me a lot of effort to escape from the bandits' den, and they robbed me of all my money and property, and I was penniless. ”

Bai Chu asked, "I heard that there are many mountain bandits nearby, and they are all from the Tianhuo Gang. Are you being taken captive by them?"

After hearing this, Ah Sheng said angrily: "That's right, it's this group of bandits, who occupy a mountain, and call themselves the Tianhuo Gang, which is really hateful, and when I go back, I will definitely bring people to level this broken mountain." ”

After speaking, Ah Sheng looked at Bai Chu, if she looked carefully, she would find that she was very delicate, her eyebrows were slender, and her eyes were like stars, not like the children of ordinary people's families, so she asked, "Girl, where are you from, how did you end up here?"

Bai Chu's heart was sour, once she said something, she would inevitably shock Ah Sheng, so she picked up some inconsequential things and said: "I was originally from Yangqing Town, but there was a plague there, my parents died, I was separated from my younger brother, and I have been looking for his whereabouts everywhere. ”

"Isn't it dangerous for you to wander outside alone? No, when I get home, I will take you to my house, and let my father take you as a righteous daughter, and help you find your brother." ”

Bai Chu shook his head, her matter is not something that ordinary people can solve: "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that there is a vast sea of people, finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack, I am not related to you, and I will never disturb your family." ”

Ah Sheng saw that she didn't agree, thinking that he couldn't do it, so he continued: "You have to believe me, I will definitely be able to help you find your brother." ”

She was about to speak, Ah Sheng's face suddenly became serious, his eyebrows frowned, he grabbed her shoulders, lowered her body, and whispered in her ear: "See those people with red belts in front of you? They are the lackeys of the Tianhuo Gang who tied me up." ”

Bai Chu looked in the direction he was pointing, and indeed saw three big men with red belts around their waists, who were as strong as oxen, walking on the street, looking around as they went.

Their location is a dead end, and they can only go out, not in. If you stay here, they will find out, and if you want to go out, they will probably find out, but it's better than sitting still.

Bai Chu has been in this town for a few days, and she is already very familiar with the streets here, she took Ah Sheng's hand and said, "Follow me." ”

The two quietly ran out of the alley, pressing their bodies behind the roadside paving and trotting away, but at this moment it was sunset, many vendors had begun to close their stalls, and the street was sparsely populated.

Ah Sheng said anxiously: "It's not good, they are catching up." ”

Bai Chu immediately turned into an alley where no one was around, and ran around in it for a long time, sometimes slowing down, sometimes speeding up, as if intentionally or unintentionally luring those people over.

Ah Sheng also saw this, and he asked as he ran: "Girl, where do you seem to be attracting them to, but there are already countermeasures?"

Bai Chu smiled slightly and was silent.

They ran to an alley with no way back, far from the main alley, surrounded by abandoned houses, where no one would hear even shouting. Now it's sad: "Girl, I know you have the heart to help me, but the current situation is very unfavorable to us." This is really called the heaven is not spiritual, and the earth is not right. ”

Bai Chu shook his head and said to Ah Sheng: "It's going to be fine, you go over this wall, leave quickly, I'll drag them down." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, three big men chased after him, one of them clenched his fist, and his palm crackled and made the sound of bone movement, and he said gloomily: "Run, keep running, see where you kid can run." “

The other person looked at Bai Chu from head to toe and let out a mocking laugh: "Yo, this kid also found a tender helper, it seems that it is a girl's family." Chick, accompany the master a few cool, the master can consider leaving you a whole corpse. ”

Bai Chu sneered and did not answer.

Ah Sheng stood in front of Bai Chu, opened his arms, and said loudly: "You shameless things, what is coming at me, don't you just ask for money, let her go, and I'll go back with you." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a tremendous force envelop his body and lift him off the ground. His body seemed to lose its weight, and it flew into the air, landing firmly behind the wall at the end of the street.
