"Master, there are strong men looting in the village ahead! Shall we help the villagers? ”

With a hint of anxiety on the young boy's resolute face, he pulled out his halberd and asked the old man beside him.

"Disciple, the world is dark, people's hearts are not ancient, let's take a detour, don't meddle in things, the bounties and portraits of the three of us have spread all over Mozhou, once the eagle dogs of the holy city find out their whereabouts, it will be troublesome."

The old man, carrying a seven or eight-year-old child on his back, looked in the direction of the village and shook his head.

"But Master...... Don't you often teach us that when we walk the rivers and lakes, we must be chivalrous and righteous, and when the road is uneven, we must draw a sword to help? ”

Hearing the crying in the distance, the young man seemed to be unwilling, and stubbornly stared at his eyes and argued.

"Master...... I'm so hungry. ”

The little boy on the old man's back protested in a milky voice, his voice was weak, he seemed to be very weak, his left trouser leg was empty, and he had lost a leg at a young age.

"Master, I don't know how long it will take to walk to the next village, and the little junior brother hasn't eaten anything decent for two days, so ...... go on like this."

The young man seemed to have found a valid reason, and said with an excited expression.

"Huh...... Well, since you're so insistent, let's go. ”

The old man sighed helplessly.

……

"You are the people of Shuangliumen, who are wanted by the Holy City? You're all too busy to take care of yourself now, so why are you meddling here? ”

More than a dozen strongmen were killed by the young man's double halberd, and the last one of them roared unwillingly.

"Humph! If you encounter injustices in the world, you have to wield your halberd to walk the way of heaven. ”

The young man stepped on the strongman, enjoying the applause around him with a proud face.

……

"Although the three benefactors eat and drink, although our village is poor, but steamed buns and some meat and wine, you can still get it, it is not early, the benefactor will rest in our village after eating, I have asked someone to prepare a guest room."

On behalf of the villagers, the village chief warmly entertained the three masters and apprentices at home.

"Village Chief Lao is bothered, the three of us will leave after eating, and there is no need to stay overnight."

The old man politely declined.

"Master, I'm moving!"

Watching the old man eat his first bite of food, the young man couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and was about to pick up the dishes.

The old man's expression was solemn, and he slapped the chopsticks stretched out by the young man to the ground: "If you disobey the master's order today, you will be punished for not being allowed to eat." ”

"Master......"

The young man pleaded, but the old man was indifferent.

"That'...... Master, can Xiao Jiu eat it? ”

The little junior brother shrank his head and prayed weakly.

The old man looked at the three apprentices who had a radical personality and were already able to take charge on their own, and then looked at the youngest apprentice, who had already suffered the pain of a broken arm before he was eight years old, and touched the hair of the little junior brother with complicated eyes, and sighed lightly: "Xiao Jiu, eat, eat more, and you won't be hungry on the road later." ”

When the little junior brother heard this, he immediately devoured it, and stuffed two white steamed buns into his arms.

……

In the corner of the house, several men gathered.

"Dog leftover, has the matter been done?"

"Second Brother Huang, I'm doing something, are you still not at ease? The tiger baby is fast, and I have already sent him to inform the official. ”

"Well done!"

"Second Brother Huang, isn't this okay? After all, they saved our village. ”

"That's right, Second Brother Huang, and these people look at their ability to do a lot, in case they ......"

"You fucking know shit! Their head is worth five hundred taels of silver, a whole five hundred taels. You don't want to please your mother-in-law, don't you want to build a big house? ”

“……”

"Think...... I dreamed of it. ”

"It's done!"

……

"Solemn! I'll hold them back, you guys go! ”

Looking at the pursuers behind him, the old man covered in blood held a double halberd, resolutely stopped his running footsteps, and yelled at the young man.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault! Master, I'm not leaving, I'm going to die together! ”

The dejected young man wiped away his tears and screamed in tears, his eyes full of death.

"Smack!"

The old man slapped the young man in the face hard: "You are already a man, take out what a man should be, take your responsibilities and responsibilities, don't cry like a woman, we Shuangliumen can't cut off the incense here with me, and lose the inheritance!" You take Xiao Wu and go, let's go!! ”

"But Master......"

The boy was stunned by this slap and was a little overwhelmed.

"Remember, the world is dark, people's hearts are not ancient, don't trust anyone easily, protect yourself, everything that Master can teach you, the future road, you can only rely on yourself."

The old man caressed the young man's already swollen face, and there was a thick reluctance in his eyes.

Their Shuangliumen people are thin, and the nine apprentices are all orphans he adopted, each of whom he watched grow up a little bit, this time because the second apprentice killed the son of the powerful in the Holy City, which led to the disaster of annihilation, and the three of them escaped from the ten master and apprentices.

"Master...... The apprentice is gone, and the apprentice will never cry again, never again, because no one is worthy of a disciple to shed tears anymore. ”

The young man wiped away his tears violently, and slammed his head on the ground a few times with the unconscious little junior brother on his back, knocking a small puddle of blood out of the ground.

……

"Third Senior Brother, I'm so cold......"

The little junior brother's sudden voice made the young man's running footsteps stop suddenly, and hurriedly put him next to the tree to lean, and took off his clothes to put on the little junior brother.

It's just that the place where he started was slippery, and when the young man saw it, the clothes on his back were full of blood, and he didn't realize it when he ran desperately.

"Xiao Jiu? Xiao Jiu, what's wrong with you? ”

Looking at the large blood stains on Xiao Jiu's chest, which were also stained red, the young man who didn't know the reason was full of horror.

"Third Senior Brother, Master?"

The little junior brother leaning against the tree raised his heavy eyelids slightly and glanced at it slightly.

"Master...... The master is behind, and he will come in a moment. ”

"Third Senior Brother, I just hid two steamed buns for you, while the master is not there, you can eat it quickly, it seems to be ...... It's still hot. ”

The little junior brother blurred his eyes, raised his cold little hand and took out two bloody steamed buns from his arms, which was a little shocking at a glance!

"Giggle......"

The boy covered his mouth and subconsciously wanted to take a deep breath, but it seemed that something was choking his throat.

"Little Nine ......"

The young man who said that he would never cry again, tears filled his eyes again, and suddenly collapsed.

"Third Senior Brother, why are you crying......"

"Third Senior Brother, why does my stomach hurt so much, did I eat too much? Hey, why am I still drooling. ”

"Third Senior Brother, I'm so cold, so sleepy, I can't open my eyes, can you hug me, I seem to sleep warmly for a while, when the master comes, let's hurry again, okay......"

"Third Senior Brother, you eat quickly, when you finish eating, the master is here, and I will sleep well."

"Third Senior Brother......
