At the beginning, he was a young vagabond, and the whole person was dusty, like a shriveled walking corpse, which was the impression of Zhou Laohan when he first saw it.

Zhou Laohan got up very early today, and drove a donkey cart from the village dozens of miles away to drag dried firewood, vegetables and fruits to Qishan City to sell.

Qishan City is an inland city on the mainland near the northeast, there are three empires and some other small countries in the whole continent, the vast but barren land in the northwest is the country of the Gushao people, the northeast is the forest empire of the Mossy people, and the Central Plains is occupied by the Great Xia Empire, Qishan belongs to the Great Xia Empire, and less than a hundred miles to the north of it is the Xiongguan of the world: Beiqi Pass.

In addition to being the forefront of the Great Xia Guard, Beiqi Pass is also the southeast exit of the ancient Shao people, and the Moss Liren is less than three hundred miles away, so the Qishan Castle in the south of Beiqi Pass can be said to be an important city at the junction of the three kingdoms, in fact, this city is indeed a high wall, heavily guarded.

Although Qishan City is important, but the outer city is very dirty, in the narrow streets full of sewage, Zhou Laohan stopped the donkey cart and waited for the patronage of the guests, at the beginning of this time to pounce, grab the melons and fruits on the car and gnaw them, Zhou Laohan was furious, pulled out the rattan and hit it.

Zhou Laohan is old, the rattan whipping sound, in fact, there is not much strength; at the beginning, he gnawed wildly in his mouth, and there was a bunch of vegetables and fruits in his hand, ready to slip away, but Zhou Laohan was not dirty, and grabbed his gray collar and left him.

At the beginning, there was no clean place on the whole body, the only bright thing was the eyes, these eyes were not tormented by suffering and lost their luster, on the contrary, it was deep and fascinating, these eyes appeared on the body of a young beggar Zhou Laohan's heart tightened, giving birth to an inexplicable emotion.

He is old after all, Zhou Laohan thought as he looked into the eyes of the young beggar.

At first, he didn't struggle, just squatted on the ground protecting the vegetables and fruits on his chest, looking at Zhou Laohan.

Old Man Zhou took out a rope, tied it around the young man's neck, held the other end of the rope like a dog, and then asked, "Who are you?"

At first, there was no resistance, and there was no answer.

In the time that followed, Zhou Laohan asked some questions: where did he come from, where did he come from, and what was his name? But he didn't get any answers, and the young man seemed to be really hungry except for eating.

Zhou Laohan didn't want to let go of the boy like this, he thought of his son who died before he was born, he was old, and he couldn't remember how old his son would be if he lived to this day, but the moment he saw it, he suddenly felt that maybe it should be so big.

So he tied the boy to the wheels and let him continue to squat on the ground and eat melons and fruits, while he sorted out dried firewood and vegetables and began to sell.

At noon, the dried firewood, vegetables and fruits were almost sold, look at the day, Zhou Laohan took out the pancake from his chest, there was a swallowing sound behind him, looking back, the young man had not slipped away, he stared at the pancake in Zhou Laohan's hand and swallowed saliva, this is not full, I really don't know how long I have been hungry.

Zhou Laohan ignored the young man, chewed two bites of the cake, thought about it, tore off the pancake in his hand, and handed it to the young man.

The young man showed a surprised expression, and some doubts, he slowly stretched out his hand, and at the moment when he was about to touch the pancake, Zhou Laohan took back the cake, and showed a smug smile of old treacherous cunning.

The young man was instantly annoyed, withdrew his outstretched hand, squatted on the ground and looked at Zhou Laohan angrily.

After all, it's a teenager, and I still can't hold my breath. 、

Zhou Laohan chuckled and asked, "Let me ask you to answer, is it okay to eat cakes?"

The boy hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Where are you from, what's your name, and how old are you?"

“...... I'm from there," the boy pointed due west, and Zhou Laohan's village was also in that direction, but slightly northerly, "I don't remember my age at the beginning of my name." ”

"The beginning...... Initial ...... It's not like a poor child. "Zhou Laohan pondered, due west, it was a miserable place a year ago, there were many villages killed, many small towns looted, and many children buried.

The warriors of the three kingdoms of Xiaren, Shaoren, and Lili had a scuffle in the west of Qishan City a year ago, thousands of people died, there were no people for hundreds of miles, and countless people were displaced.

As for the specific age, Zhou Laohan didn't know, but judging from the young man's gray face and slightly immature voice, he judged that he was at most thirteen or fourteen years old.

At the beginning of Zhou Laohan's handing of the pancakes, he asked again: "Where is my father?"

At the beginning, he took the pancake and took a bite of it, chewing it and shaking his head again and again.

On the dirty streets of the rugged mountain city in late autumn, an old man and a young man squatted on the ground munching on a pancake, making the noisy crowd around him a little lonely.

"What do you remember?"

“...... I don't remember anything, it's just that there are a lot of dead people. "At the beginning of the heart, there were countless dead people, corpse pits, and the shadows of the wicked, but there was really nothing to say about these, and it was not uncommon for people to die in this area of Qishan.

"Oh. Zhou Laohan didn't think much about it, it is really not uncommon for dead people in this area to die, on the contrary, it is strange that he has never seen a dead person in his life.

Zhou Laohan asked a few more words, at the beginning of the discovery, there was no concept of time, and I don't know how long he had been in Qishan City, he only knew that he had robbed things and fought, and asked him if he had killed anyone, the young man did not answer, it seems that he had killed people, but Zhou Laohan didn't care, this place is like this, if you don't kill people, you will come to kill you, the border people have always been tough, and children are no exception, this is not just an empty word, but a nameplate stained with countless blood.

There are a lot of displaced refugees in Qishan City, most of them gather to form gangs, and they think about harming others all day long, so serious merchants will never hire people of unknown origin, even if it is a child, so Zhou Laohan didn't ask why he didn't go to work at the beginning.

Soon the bread in their hands was finished, and neither of them spoke to each other, one was in a daze and the other was selling goods.

“...... The time has come to ......", and the newspaper changer beat the drum and walked through the street.

Zhou Laohan collected things on time, put some remaining dry firewood piles on the car, vegetables and fruits were sold out, and at the beginning there was still a rope around his neck, he stood up to help Zhou Laohan put the dry firewood piles on the car, and then Zhou Laohan found that it was different from ordinary people at the beginning.

At the beginning, he was much taller than the average teenager, in fact, he was taller than the average adult, and he was a head taller than Zhou Laohan, but he was thin, too thin, and I really doubted that a gust of wind could blow it away;

After cleaning up, Zhou Laohan untied the rope around his neck at the beginning.

"I'm going back, so go too. Don't rob people, be careful that no one will pity you if you are killed. ”

Nodding at the beginning, he knew that Old Man Zhou was not a wicked person.

Zhou Laohan looked at the beginning of his departure, and his heart suddenly panicked, he had experienced the hot and cold of the world, why did he have so many thoughts today, he was really old, and he learned the sentimentality of rich and noble people.

With a self-deprecating smile, Zhou Laohan walked towards the city gate, and suddenly there was a commotion behind him, and when he looked back, he was being beaten by a group of people on the ground at the beginning, and the group of people waved sticks in their hands, and they made a sound on the body.

Zhou Laohan was shocked, suddenly pulled out the rattan and rushed over, and scolded loudly: "In broad daylight, how can there be a king's law, the official is here, the official is here." ”

That group of people is just a group of beggars who can't see people, and at the beginning of the group fight, when they saw someone rushing over, they didn't dare to disperse in a hurry.

"Rotten dog is being crushed by that kid ......"

"Run, count him unlucky, it's bad if the official comes. ”

"Rotten dog, rotten dog......"

"Let's go, let's go, avenge him next time, this kid is really hard, he can't be killed......"

The beggar dispersed, revealing two people lying on the ground, one was Chuchu, and the other was pressed motionless under Chuchu, Zhou Laohan approached, saw Chuchu's round eyes, and his expression was distorted on the other fainting beggar, and his mouth also made a beast-like low hoarse hiss, and his hands were even more stubbornly pinching each other's arms.

"Let go, he's going to die. ”

At the beginning, he was woken up by Zhou Laohan, the expression on his face relaxed, and his hands were also released.

The unnatural reversal of the arms of the fainting beggar was obviously broken by the first child, and Zhou Laohan was frightened, it was really ruthless.

"Are there any injuries?"

"Nope. "At first, his body was strong, but he was beaten with a stick for a long time, but he was fine.

"Hurry up, hurry up, this place is not good, hurry up. ”

Leaving the fainting beggar, Zhou Laohan led the donkey cart at the beginning and rushed all the way to the city gate, praying in his heart not to let the group of beggars block the city.

Fortunately, this place is not far from the city gate, and the two of them left Qishan Castle smoothly under the suspicious gaze of the city gate guards.

Old man Zhou slowed down, the old donkey gasped and hummed, even donkeys can't eat enough in this world.

At first, he lay on the ground all of a sudden, looking up at the gray sky, and occasionally saw startled birds flying by, causing more birds to be startled in the woods on both sides.

"Who are they, and why are they bullying you?" Zhou Laohan thought it was just an ordinary brawl, so he asked casually, but the answer was always unexpected.

"They're from the Mountain Wolf Society. ”

Old Man Zhou shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Above the Mountain Wolf Club is the Jiaolong Gang, and above the Jiaolong Gang is the Sword and Horse Gang. ”

Zhou Laohan looked at the beginning in surprise, the Mountain Wolf Club He didn't know that it might just be a street gang, but the Jiaolong Gang is a big gang in Qishan City, and the Sword and Horse Gang is even more incredible, the Sword and Horse Gang is known as the world's luck, the Green Forest Covenant, the Sword and Horse Gang is not the name of the Qishan City, they are more called the Cao Gang, this is not a behemoth that Qishan City can accommodate.

"Are you a little beggar still being chased and killed by the Jiaolong Gang and the Sword and Horse Gang?

At first, he pouted, "The Jiaolong Gang and the Sword and Horse Gang don't know me, and the mountain wolves will kill me because once I saw them abducting and selling girls, so I secretly let the girls go." ”

"It's really a loss of conscience!" Zhou Laohan was furious when he heard that he had abducted the little girl, but he was also relieved that he had not offended the Jiaolong Gang and the Daoma Gang at the beginning.

"Why do you want to spoil their business when you're like this?" Zhou Laohan asked curiously.

At first, he shook his head and said contemptuously: "It's just a group of filthy villains, and they are also worthy of being compared with me, and sooner or later I will kill them all." ”

Zhou Laohan doesn't think so, and children will blow nonsense.
