Chapter 39: The Boy
In the back of the fight, Jin Shi rose up from the cold floor, he shook his head vigorously, but he still couldn't get rid of the numbness, so he raised his fist and hit his head, and when he felt pain, the numbness felt a little less.
Xiu'er was very anxious on the side, with tears on her face, and said, "Stone, are you okay?"
Jin Shi shook his head and tried to stand up, except for his spirit was in a trance, he was not injured, he couldn't even feel the fatigue of the ten battles, and the trance quickly receded, and everything slowly became more fresh, he asked, "Xiu'er, how long have I been in a coma?"
Xiu'er saw that Jin Shi was okay before she relieved herself and said, "It's been dark for a while." ”
Jin Shi touched his rumbling stomach and said with a smile: "Change money first, and then go eat something." ”
Xiu'er took out a big money bag from her back waist and said with a smile: "I have already changed it." ”
After saying that, she actually put away the money bag, the golden stone eyes were about to come out, and she wanted to cry without tears, this is what I worked hard to earn back, what do you mean by taking it? Can you still vomit it out when it enters your pocket? Emotions can only turn into a sigh.
Out of the fighting arena, the two of them casually found a roadside stall to eat, Xiu'er thought for a long time and asked, "Stone, why did you faint inexplicably, it's a pity, you earned a lot of gold coins?"
Jin Shi almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of rice, secretly thinking that Xiu'er's true nature has been revealed in the past few days, and she has completely become a money fan, and she is addicted to money. Are you worried about people, or do you regret the more than 20 gold coins?
Jin Shi thought about this question for a long time, but after all, he couldn't think of an answer, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
"It's weird!"
Xiu'er's nose moved as she spoke, staring at the alley in the distance. Jin Shi asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiu'er said, "The guy who beat you just went into that alley with a big bag of roast chicken. ”
Jin Shi followed the direction that Xiu'er pointed, and could only see that it was pitch black, and he didn't know where the alley was, but he knew that Xiu'er had some special skills, and felt that Xiu'er was not joking, so he asked, "Can you still find him if you follow him now?"
Xiu'er looked smug and said, "Of course you can." ”
Jin Shi threw two gold coins on the table, and didn't forget to take half a roast chicken on the table before following Xiu'er into the shadows.
Xiu'er took Jin Shi around in the narrow alley, almost lost, until he came to a small courtyard in the depths of the alley, which was sparsely populated, and only stopped, Xiu'er pointed to the door and said, "That guy just entered." ”
Jin Shi glanced at Xiu'er strangely, in the eyes of ordinary people, can you not say so sure about the mysterious things.
Through the crack in the door, Jin Shi saw a person standing in the courtyard through the dim moonlight, although it was only a back, but Jin Shi was sure that this was the masked man in the fighting arena.
The man in the courtyard slowly turned around with a lantern in his hand and said to the door, "The door is not locked, come in!"
Jin Shi didn't even think about pushing the door in, and stood three steps away from the man.
The two looked at each other, Jin Shi looked him up and down, and to his surprise, the man turned out to be a young man, especially those indifferent eyes, which were extremely similar to himself.
The corner of the young man's mouth showed a faint smile, and he said, "Have you eaten?"
Jin Shi was stunned for a moment, shook his head, found that something was wrong, and nodded again.
"I see, come with me!" the boy nodded and turned to lead the way.
Jin Shi was deeply amused, he understood everything, even he didn't know what to say, he only ate half full just now.
The boy pushed open the door, and more than a dozen children of all sizes who were eating inside looked over, put his index finger in front of his mouth, and made a quiet gesture, and each child smiled quietly without saying a word. He said lightly: "There are guests to eat together, you all be obedient." ”
More than a dozen children are very well-behaved and sensible, and they have cleaned up and vacated two bright places for a while, and the two spliced tables are full of big fish and meat, and more than a dozen heads are crowded together, staring at Jin Shi and Xiu'er at the door with smiling faces.
Jin Shi, who was obviously half-full, saw that his stomach began to croak again when he saw the table full of delicacies, and the young man said, "Let's serve it!"
The boy huddled with a fleshy little boy and looked at Jinshi and Xiu'er with them. It seemed that Jin Shi didn't move their chopsticks when they didn't serve it, and Jin Shi said to Xiu'er: "It's okay, eat some more." ”
Jin Shi and Xiu'er went to the table, the two of them occupied one side, but no one was dissatisfied, they all looked at Jin Shi and Xiu'er curiously with a smile, and Xiu'er was a little nervous, and kept leaning on Jin Shi.
The young man said: "Today's meal was invited by this brother, thank you brother." ”
"Thank you, brother. More than a dozen childish voices, the big ones were like Xiu'er, and the small ones were only seven or eight years old, and Jin Shi was embarrassed to hear them.
"Eat!" the young man's words were like orders, and more than a dozen people moved their chopsticks in unison.
"Let's eat! The boy said to Jin Shi and joined in the meal.
Jin Shi was not polite, and pounced on the fattest piece of meat and began to dry it violently. Xiu'er was not hungry, she was still a little scared, and grabbed the corner of the golden stone clothes. Jin Shi didn't care, after eating the rice in the bowl, he ate Xiu'er's bowl cleanly, a little girl as big as Xiu'er simply stood behind Jin Shi after eating, and as soon as he finished eating, he served him rice, until everyone stopped, and he was still eating.
The boy frowned slightly and looked at the little girl, who waved her hand and shook her head, indicating that there was no food.
Jin Shi finally put down the bowl contentedly, burped, and looked at the table full of empty plates and more than a dozen pairs of curious eyes, extremely embarrassed.
Jin Shi has always been relatively able to eat, but for some reason he can eat especially tonight, and secretly thought that it was better to eat half full, otherwise this group of children would have nothing to eat.
"Huanhuan, you take them to clean up and go to sleep!"
"Good. The little girl standing behind Jin Shi agreed obediently, and said to Jin Shi playfully: "Big brother, you can eat too much, you don't have to worry about leftovers with you." ”
As soon as these words came out, more than a dozen children laughed, and even Xiu'er couldn't hold back, feeling that it seemed to make sense.
Jin Shi followed the young man out with an embarrassed face and said, "That, thank you." ”
The young man leaned against the pillar at the door and said, "The fighting arena paid me to defeat you, so you invited them to eat this meal." ”
Jin Shi didn't care about money and said, "I didn't lose. ”
"So you're here to reconnect with me?"
"That's very good. ”
The young man said lightly: "Probably not tonight." ”
Jin Shi was a little disappointed and said, "Why?"
The young man looked into the house, and saw that the little ones were all obediently tidying up the housework, so he said lightly: "I'm going to kill someone." ”
The boy spoke lightly, without any mood swings, and seemed to say another thing that did not matter.
Jin Shi made a move with him, guessing what kind of person the young man was from the move, he didn't seem surprised, his mood fluctuated without any fluctuations, and Xiu'er was a little nervous and grabbed the corner of Jin Shiyi.
"Kill whom?"
"Damn it. ”
"I'm a little interested. ”
The young man frowned slightly, and said, "I don't think you are a reckless person, so don't wade into troubled waters, this matter is a personal grudge." ”
"I see. ”
Jin Shi thought that he was in it for money, and since it was a personal grudge, it was difficult to meddle. What he cares about is still the more than ten children, a teenager lives with more than ten children, which is not normal. I wanted to ask about today's fight, but since it's for the children, forget it!
The young man seemed to understand Jin Shi's doubts, and said, "It's me who is wrong today, I used some means, let's fight again another day!"
There is a reason for it, Jin Shi naturally doesn't care, since he can fight again, of course he is willing, and agrees. Then he got up and left, and said at the door, "My name is Jin Shi." ”
"Down. ”
The golden stone departed, and the young man leaned on the pillar alone, and said to himself: "It is also a stone, you shine like gold, but I can only hide like a turtle with a shrunken head." ”
The little girl tiptoed to his side and said worriedly, "Brother, do you have to go?"
With a slight smile on the corner of the young man's mouth, he pulled Huanhuan closer to his side, put his hand on her shoulder, and said lightly: "Don't let your younger brothers and sisters know." ”
The little girl nodded vigorously with tears in her eyes, but she didn't make a sound, she knew that once she spoke out, she couldn't stop crying.
"You haven't forgotten where the money was hidden, have you?"
The little girl leaned on the boy and shook her head.
"Don't worry, be back soon. ”
The little girl stubbornly pulled the corner of the boy's clothes, making the last powerless retention.
