Chapter 624: Strange Boy

"Is it finally here?"

A young man dressed in rags and a gray face looked at the high city wall in front of him, and his heart was very excited, but he didn't dare to show it.

The young man was excited in his heart, the three big characters of Blackwater City already indicated that his destination had arrived.

My parents are somewhere in the city.

The young man shouted in his heart, "Young Master Ben is finally here"

The hardships and dangers along the way, although the boy had expected it before setting off from the starting place, he did not know that it would be so difficult.

It was supposed to be a ten-day journey, but the boy walked for a whole month.

thought that a month ago, when he was in Youzhou City, he was a veritable nobleman, but now he has become an out-and-out Huazi.

Fortunately, with the cover of this outfit, he was able to beg all the way, disguise himself as a refugee, and avoid some interrogations.

The young man's eyes looked more firmly at the very imposing soldiers guarding the city at the city gate.

He knew that this level was more difficult than anything else before.

However, as soon as he entered the city, he would be able to know what was going on in the city.

The young man suppressed the turbulence in his heart, pretended to be a little beggar, and prepared to blend into the city.

And when the boy appeared at the city gate, he was looked at by a man on the city wall.

Although the boy did not look very old, no more than ten years old, dirty and skinny, the light in his eyes was completely different from those of the refugees.

Moreover, although the boy's entire face was covered by dust, his outline and physique were completely different from that of the Jurchen boy.

"Hey, what are you doing? Want to sneak into the city? The soldiers guarding the gate soon noticed that a small beggar outside the city was trying to infiltrate the city, and hurriedly carried a spear to stop it.

The little beggar was visibly frightened, and fell to the ground, trembling.

There were not many people coming and going at the city gates, but there were also many ordinary people.

Although the Jurchens are not like the people of the Qianchao, they dote on their children. But in the face of such a scene, the helplessness of an emaciated child in the face of soldiers of completely unequal size deeply stirred the hearts of the people who were preparing to enter and leave the city.

The beggar who was stopped by the soldiers was the young man who was in a daze at the city gate just now.

The boy knew that if he wanted to avoid the investigation and enter the city smoothly, he had to give full play to his innate advantages, and the child's weakness could naturally be regarded as a weak person in the world of a group of adults, and he would get a lot of benefits.

The young man knows this well, and along the way, he also took advantage of his age to get a lot of help, otherwise, how could he get all the way from Youzhou City to Blackwater City safely?

The boy repeated his old trick, lifted his face, and was so stubborn that he gritted his teeth to prevent himself from crying, but tears rolled down from his two huge eyeballs.

Such a look of not giving in, and not being in pain if you are wronged, can win the sympathy of adults more than rolling on the ground.

Sure enough, the people around saw that the young man was wronged and did not scream, and the expressions on his faces became more sympathetic.

"It's just a child, how can you treat it like that? Don't you soldiers have any sympathy? The gates of the city were instantly surrounded by a crowd of indignant people.

Originally, the soldiers defending the city were just doing their duty, because there have been frequent vicious incidents of attacks on the city lord's mansion in the city recently, so the city lord has ordered them to strictly check the people entering and leaving the city, and not to put in any suspicious characters.

The boy's behavior just now was indeed suspicious, so he was intercepted. And just now, they said something excessive, did something excessive, but they didn't know what was going on, and they were besieged by a group of people.

Just when the soldiers and monks were confused, the people on the city wall looked at everything at the city gate.

The smile that the young man didn't hide from the corner of his mouth just now, the man on the city wall also saw it.

He was sure that the boy at the gate was the man he was looking for.

So, he sent a signal to his accomplices. Then the people of the city knew that the man they had been looking for had been found.

On the other side, the beggar boy at the gate of the city continued to pretend to be weak and let everyone speak for him.

The boy didn't know that everything about himself was being seen.

His attention was on the soldiers and Jurchen civilians in front of him.

Actually, he didn't understand what they were saying at the moment. But he can guess their emotions at the moment through their expressions and movements.

Suddenly, the boy was held to his chest by a fat woman, babbling words that he did not understand.

The boy was stunned, and since he was a child, except for his mother and Aunt Haruka, he rarely had such close contact with the opposite sex. In particular, the smell of beef and mutton lingers on the tip of the nose.

He had long heard that because the Jurchens lived in the grassland, they liked to eat meat in large pieces and drink wine in large bowls. Both men and women who don't take a bath all year round have a strong smell of meat on their bodies.

And now, he smelled the scent of the Jurchens so closely, this kind of head-catching smell, ordinary people are really a little unbearable.

But the boy knew that he was going to show weakness at this moment and win the sympathy of others. So, he took advantage of the situation on the woman who was majestic on his chest. Pretending to be weak and can't help it.

In fact, the young man is really a little dizzy, this month to travel, eat and sleep, do not know the truth, so he can not communicate with people, he can only rely on other people's alms, hungry and full, eat the last meal without the next meal.

He knew that at this moment, when he walked in front of his parents, perhaps, they would not recognize him.

Just as the boy was thinking, he felt someone grab his arm and lift his face.

He finally saw the appearance of the woman holding him.

A woman in her thirties, fat and fat, wearing a bearded skirt and a short jacket, with two braids on her head and a towel covering her hair.

The woman looked at the young man, and she was stunned by another sentence that the young man did not understand.

The boy knew that everyone was watching him. He really didn't know how to respond, so he could only continue to pretend to be a deaf and dumb little beggar as before.

The boy pointed to his mouth and then to his ears, but he couldn't say a word.

Everyone understood that the boy turned out to be a little mute.

The people who were originally sympathetic now knew that the little beggar in front of them could not speak or hear the voices of the people, so they became more sympathetic.

Correspondingly, the attitude towards the soldiers defending the city became more dissatisfied.

The soldiers defending the city were originally just routine, and a few simple questions were all it takes.

But in the face of a little beggar who could not speak and could not hear, they also made a difficulty.

In the end, it was the chief who spoke and let the little beggar into the city.

The little beggar swaggered into the city amid the cheers of the crowd, even though there were many people at the gate as usual, even if the Jurchens lined up at the gate to be interrogated.

After the boy entered the city, he found a corner, patted his chest and said, "It's so dangerous"
