In June, heavy rains washed away the embankment of the Liujiang River, and hundreds of thousands of people became displaced people, dragging their families and mouths to the rich Jiangbei.

As the largest county in Jiangbei, Liushou County also has the largest number of displaced people, and by August, nearly 100,000 displaced people had gathered outside Liuzhong City, the largest county in the county.

Last year, there was a great drought in Zhaoyang County, and many victims came to the outside of Liuzhong City, and at this time, the newly arrived displaced people made the already chaotic outside the city become restless.

Today, the sky is drizzling again, and four men wearing robes and riding horses escorted a carriage to Qiuhuangpo, where the displaced people outside the city gather.

Zhuang Xuewen sat in the carriage, put down the book in his hand, and looked up at the man in a short shirt sitting by the door.

The man quickly got up and opened the curtain to look out, then turned around and said respectfully, "Brother Wen, we have arrived." ”

"Are you sure she's here?" Zhuang Xuewen sat in the car and didn't move, just asked lightly.

"Brother Wen, I promise that it will not be wrong this time, it has been two years since I looked for it again last time, if it goes wrong again, I will come to see you!" The man swore that he had been running around for several years, and he had been running outside for the Chinese New Year, and if he couldn't find anyone, he might not even have time to talk about family affairs.

Zhuang Xuewen just glanced at him and got out of the car, and the man quickly held up an umbrella to block the rain for him.

The four people also dismounted, one stayed behind to watch the horses and carts, and the others followed Zhuang Xuewen to the shack on Qiuhuangpo.

The shacks were in a dilapidated state, and the floor was covered with filthy and slippery mud, making it difficult to walk. A homeless man wrapped in shabby clothes and covered with a foul smell, his face and thin muscles stared at them like hungry wolves.

If it weren't for the three men's strong bodies and knives hanging from their waists, Zhuang Xuewen's appearance as an elegant son would have been torn and robbed by these homeless people a long time ago.

Even the soup kitcheners in this place were reluctant to come, and the appearance of their group attracted the attention of many people, and Zhuang Xuewen's blue satin foundation official boots also stepped on a lot of sludge, and even the hem of the clothes was dyed a lot.

"This uncle, it's okay." An old man on the side of the road stretched out his hand weakly and prayed.

At this time, a woman with a vegetable-faced face dragged over a little girl with the same skin and bones, and cried directly: "Uncle, my daughter can do anything, as long as one or two silver!" ”

Zhuang Xuewen didn't stop, his face became ugly, both the security and the living conditions here are very bad, a twelve-year-old girl living here alone, I really can't imagine what kind of things will happen.

He quickened his pace, and suddenly whispered, "Zhao Jun, is there anyone to guard here?" ”

"Brother Wen, I'm the only one who came out this time, and I can't find a helper temporarily, so I'll find a few local snakes here and ask him to help me keep an eye on people. I wouldn't have gone too far to reveal who I was in the aisle. Zhao Jun paused for a moment and said quickly, he really came here to try his luck, but he didn't expect to really find someone.

Zhuang Xuewen frowned, although he was a little worried, but this place was too far away from the capital, and he couldn't interfere here. If there is really something, you can only rely on the power here, and it should be fine......

"Get out of here, your territory is in the city, and it's not your turn to be presumptuous here." Zhuang Rou used her thin body to block the girl behind her who was pulling the shabby clothes on her body, and was frightened and crying excessively, staring at the five men in front of her and said.

There wasn't much anger in her voice, and her tone was calm, but it contained a firmness that could not be refused.

The five men were dressed better than the homeless people here, not from here, and the tattoos on their bodies also showed their identity, the splashes of the city.

The homeless people all know that there are often splashes from the city who come here, and when they fancy a beautiful girl, they throw down a few copper plates and forcibly snatch people away.

Selling it to the rich family's house as a maid ring is the best end, and more of it is sent to the Qinglou, or sold to those poor men as child daughters-in-law.

Some even family members searched for them every two or three days, and by the time they found them, they had already been beaten to death. There are too many displaced people and they have no money or power, and the government can't manage it at all, so they have to do things hastily.

"Phew!" Among the five people, the big man with a tiger's head tattooed on his chest snorted, stared at Zhuang Rou up and down a few times, and said disdainfully: "The little girl is so fierce when she picks up a kitchen knife with a curly mouth, look at you, you are skinny and skinny, it is better to go back with the uncle, and wait for the two of you to eat and drink spicy." ”

The girl behind Zhuang Rou was frightened and exclaimed, "Sister! I don't want to go! ”

Zhuang Rou ignored their words, and just repeated the warning: "I'll say it again, get out." ”

If you don't listen to good words, you owe a beating, Wang Hu scolded angrily: "I, Wang Hu, have been on the road for so long, can I still scare away such an eleven or twelve-year-old child like you?" Get them both gone! ”

At this time, one of his subordinates hurriedly spoke: "Boss, didn't that person pay us to keep an eye on her, isn't that right?" ”

Wang Hu slapped him on the head, and scolded angrily: "Idiot, since that person is willing to give us money to keep an eye on her, it is worth it!" Of course, I took it back and opened it at a high price, so I just broke the silver and asked for food! ”

"It's... Yes, Boss Wise! The man said hurriedly, hunching his neck.

"Why don't you go and arrest them quickly, keep this one for that person, and give me the beautiful one in the back!" Wang Hu laughed loudly, and the four of his men pounced, and the two eleven or twelve-year-old girls were not afraid at all.

They usually don't do less than this kind of thing, and they go over to catch Zhuang Rou if they are familiar with the road, and want to take them away separately first, otherwise they will always cry when they are tied together.

Although they are not afraid of things here, they have to enter the city when they leave the shack of the homeless, and it is not good for the little girl to make a lot of trouble at the gate of the city.

Zhuang Rou's eyes lit up, and killing intent welled up on her immature face, and the kitchen knife in her hand slashed up.

Don't look at her very thin, but the knife is quite skillful, and the curled edge of the knife slashes into the hand that splashes out, and with a click, it slashes into the flesh, smashing the bones.

"Ahh The man screamed miserably, and immediately pinched his arm so painfully that he couldn't straighten his waist.

And Zhuang Rou didn't stop, and sharply slashed at the head of the other person, and the knife rolled even more violently, but it did not affect her attack, but cut more crazy.

Although he usually does a lot of evil, he still has some scruples about causing people's lives, even if he does it, he has a degree, and at most he will cripple or half die.

When there was a homicide case, it was also because of the severity of the attack, not because of the intention of intentional homicide. Even the brawls between the splashes were dominated by melees, and I didn't see any outlaws at all.

However, Zhuang Rou was different from the people they had encountered, and the kitchen knife she wielded was not a weak struggle, but full of determination to put them to death.

The last time Wang Hu dragged a butcher's wife away and sold it to the top of the green building for gambling debts, although the butcher also carried a pig-killing knife and shouted to kill, in the end he just waved it and made a gesture, and was knocked to the ground with a stick.

But at this time, the thin teenage girl in front of him, wielding a kitchen knife, made him dare not approach, and he also felt frightened.

This girl has really killed people!

Such a thought instantly appeared in his mind, but he couldn't even believe that he would think like this. He subconsciously wanted to touch the weapon, but he got empty and didn't bring any knives and sticks with him.

How many times have I been here, it's all useless outcasts, timid and weak, where is the danger!

In the blink of an eye, Zhuang Rou's knife slashed over, but because it was rolled too hard, it was actually more like a smash, and it hit him directly on the head, knocking over a strong man like him.

The incident happened suddenly, and after the surrounding homeless people reacted, three of the five people had already been cut down to the ground by Zhuang Rou, and someone suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! Killed! ”

The homeless people were scared but wanted to see the excitement, but they didn't shout, but they gathered a lot of people around, and looked at Zhuang Rou with a bloody kitchen knife with an indifferent expression in horror.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" At this time, there was a scolding from the back of the crowd, and someone pushed the person away with a sheathed knife, and walked over menacingly.

As soon as it seemed that the person was carrying a knife and wearing a good outfit, the homeless people thought that a big man or an official had come, so they quickly got out of the way, and sure enough, they saw a young man coming over.

He looked to be in his early twenties, dressed in a plain moonlight robe, wearing a crown of white jade on his head, and a good jade pendant hanging from his waist.

The face is handsome but heroic, and the whole person is full of elegance, and at first glance he is a scholar with status. He appeared here, like a bright moon in the dark clouds, just standing there and making people stunned.

When Zhuang Xuewen saw what happened in the crowd, he was stunned for a moment, and a furrowed brow appeared on his face.

When the people he brought with him saw it, they immediately rushed forward and knocked the remaining two people to the ground with their scabbards.

Zhao Jun hurriedly ran over, looked at Wang Hu, who was struggling to get up with blood on his head, and scolded angrily: "Wang Hu! Keeping you staring is to protect her, what are you doing! ”

"Phew, that girl dares to beat me, see if I don't sell her to the Qinglou!" Where has Wang Hu suffered such a big loss, he was cut down by a little girl, if it is spread out, how can he mix it up, this time he must be recovered!

As soon as the words fell, he was kicked in the face so hard that even his teeth flew out, and he fell to the ground again after spitting blood from his mouth.

"Shut up or I'll kill you!" It was Zhuang Xuewen's subordinates who kicked him, and after glaring at him fiercely, he kicked him a few more times before stopping.

And Zhuang Xuewen looked at the back of the girl who was so thin that he was almost skinny, and shouted with some excitement: "Xiaorou." ”

Zhuang Rou held the knife and watched Wang Hu being beaten vigilantly, she wasn't sure who it was, maybe it was another group of bastards. Suddenly being shouted like this, he immediately turned his head in surprise and looked seriously at the young man in a brocade dress who looked like a person in a painting.

"I'm Zhuang Xuewen, do you remember?" Zhuang Xuewen asked tentatively, he has looked for it many times over the years, and some people want to fake it, but he has seen through it.

The girl in front of him was no longer the round-faced cutie he remembered, just a homeless person with a kitchen knife to slash and kill the skin.

Zhuang Rou's eyes widened, and she was stunned for a long time before she said in disbelief: "Are you cousin, little mosquito?" ”

As soon as she said this, Zhuang Xuewen walked over quickly, ignoring her tattered clothes, and hugged her into his arms fiercely, "It's me, I'm here to take you home." ”

Zhuang Rou was stunned in his arms, the knife in his hand suddenly fell, and he cried out loudly when he grabbed his clothes tightly, "Brother! Why are you here now, I can't find my way home, I miss you so much! ”

"I've been looking for you for years, and now it's okay, let's go home, go home." Zhuang Xuewen hugged her hard, and the tentacles were full of bones, and there was no flesh at all, so thin that he felt distressed.

Zhuang Rou cried loudly, hugged him and refused to let go. And Zhuang Xuewen also let her hold it, just patted her back gently, and then raised his head to look at Wang Hu who was restrained.

His eyes lit up, and he glanced at them, and Zhao Jun and the others immediately understood the five of them and walked to the place behind the slope where there were few people.

At this moment, two pieces of wood in the corner of the shack caught his eye, which were two tablets of simple workmanship, with names written on them, which immediately made him stunned.
