Chapter 161: The Value of a Copper Coin

Li Tiantu looked up at this majestic six-story Wanbao Pavilion, and carefully sensed it, but he didn't find any breath of a living person in the pavilion, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, isn't there a pavilion slave inside? Why can't I feel it?

He was puzzled: "Where is this Wanbao Pavilion Du Lao?" ”

Gong Tu put away his sword and stood beside Li Tiantu, glanced up at the top terrace, and said cautiously: "Elder Du is on the top floor. ”

Even the existence that he can't feel in the realm of the land list, I'm afraid that it is not inferior to Ren Yao's hundred miles of Changhong and the like, Li Tiantu secretly sighed that the General's Mansion was really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and said casually: "I'll go up to visit Elder Du, Gongtu, you will go back to Beijing with me in a while." ”

Li Tiantu entered the Wanbao Pavilion, Su Ling'er didn't keep up, just stood in place and glared at the palace diagram not far from him, thinking about it, he was a little afraid, if Li Tiantu hadn't intervened in the situation just now, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Gong Tu felt Su Ling'er's hostility and couldn't help but smile bitterly. This time, he completely offended Li Tiantu, a close person, and I am afraid that I will suffer in the Commander's Mansion in the future.

Li Tiantu met the Shouge Nu Du Lao at the corner of the three-story stairs.

Du Lao, dressed in patched coarse cloth clothes, was sweeping the corner of the stairs with a broken broom, and looked like an ordinary old man in twilight.

But it was such an old man, but it made Li Tiantu's calm heart fluctuate indescribably.

From Linghu's innocent mouth, Li Tiantu learned that this thin body definitely hides the power to make the world frightened, but Du Lao is willing to be dull, from the age of fifty to the current thirty years old, the old man is more than eighty, but he has never made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes, a figure comparable to the peak of the top ten masters in the rivers and lakes, so he has been willing to be lonely and hidden in the mortal dust.

The former No. 2 person in the General's Mansion who was exiled by the general outside the customs is Du Lao's nephew, and the general can deal with it like this, and it is completely because of Du Lao's face.

Du Lao just glanced up at Li Tiantu, then lowered his head and continued to sweep the floor, so that Li Tiantu, who was about to speak, did not feel embarrassed, so he had to say stupidly: "Senior, I am Li Tiantu." ”

Du Lao said lightly: "Hmm." ”

Li Tiantu's original words were scattered by this simple word, so he had to readjust his emotions and said slowly: "Senior, Li Tiantu just wants to ask, can the drizzle still keep you?" ”

The old man chuckled lightly and said disapprerovingly: "Although my old bones have been in Wanbao Pavilion for more than 20 years, they are also used to the environment here, but they are just guarding the pavilion for the drizzle building, does the person who guards the pavilion have to be the person of the drizzle building?" ”

Du Lao's unfathomable Li Tiantu was naturally aware of it, and it seemed that he had complicated things, so he said abruptly: "Excuse me Senior Du." ”

Li Tiantu bowed deeply to Du Lao, who continued to sweep the floor, and was relieved.

When Li Tiantu's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, Du Lao raised his head, his eyes flashed, he couldn't see through this young new landlord, the old man stopped in place and was silent for a long time before shaking his head and sighing, holding a shabby broom and staggering to the top floor.

Li Tiantu's intended goal in his heart had been achieved, so he didn't stay in Luoyang too much, and hurriedly returned to Jingshi with Su Ling'er and Gong Tu.

The snow in Beijing has finally stopped, and the warm sun hidden in the thick clouds has sprinkled a little soft light, and the New Year is approaching, and the streets and alleys of the city are full of fiery red lanterns, so that the hearts of people who have been cold for a winter suddenly have a trace of warmth and joy.

The carriage drove slowly on Yingbin Street in Jingshi, and Li Tiantu, who had been in the carriage for two days, stretched his waist, opened the thick curtains, and a cold cold came from the surface, making Li Tiantu, who had been lying quietly surrounded by edelweiss, couldn't help but shiver.

Sure enough, the snow was cold, and the snow was even colder.

Although the snow stopped, the cold wind did not stop, the winter sun was weak, the roofs on both sides of the carriage were still covered with snow, and the crystal ice ridges under the eaves were a foot long, always reminding people that the cold winter was still there.

The white winter snow, the clear ice, and the red lanterns, this seems to be the unique scenery of every New Year.

This scene fell in the eyes of Su Ling'er beside her, and the little girl followed Li Tiantu's gaze and looked at it, but she couldn't see anything special, she racked her brains with doubts, and she really couldn't think of why her son-in-law was in a daze.

Looking at it, Li Tiantu's brows furrowed.

The snow has stopped, and although there are few pedestrians on the streets, it is much better than when the city was closed by heavy snow a few days ago.

An old woman who is more than half a hundred years old is in ragged clothes, holding a copper coin in both hands, looking sad, muttering to herself, and is raising her thin arms on the side of the road to kowtow to the Jianghu guests who have passed by with swords and swords, which makes the surrounding passers-by look disgusted.

In just a few moments, the reactions of the disturbed high-rollers were also different, some ignored them and walked away, some of them spit away with disdain, and even pushed the old man directly on the cold snow, letting the old man tremble in the snow.

Li Tiantu in the carriage suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and suddenly got up and ran out of the narrow window, so fast that Su Ling'er lost her reaction at that moment, and it wasn't until Li Tiantu appeared in front of the old woman out of thin air that Su Ling'er had time to stop the carriage.

Gong Tu's reaction outside the carriage was much faster than Su Ling'er's, and as soon as Li Tiantu's front foot arrived, Gong Tu's back foot rushed over. Seeing that the landlord personally helped the old woman who fell on the snow up, he just watched quietly, and there was no emotion on his face. As a famous killer, although he is not cold-blooded, he has seen a lot of this kind of ruthlessness of the strong to the weak, if everything was as compassionate as the landlord, he would have been out of the game a long time ago.

In this world, this person must eat the weak, and those who can have compassion and put it into practice are heroes who have the world's hands and eyes.

Gong Tu thought that he was not such a person, but as for the young man named Li Tiantu in front of him or not, he became interested, and made up his mind to go to witness it in the future. If he was forced to follow Li Tiantu in Luoyang City a few days ago, then from this moment on, he was a little willing.

Su Ling'er, who came with her, glared at the expressionless Gong Tu fiercely, but she didn't know if she was dissatisfied with Gong Tu's indifference or if the other party arrived one step earlier than her.

Su Ling'er took the old woman from Li Tiantu's hands, helped the old man to sit on the stone pier on the side, and took out a snow-white embroidered brocade handkerchief from her arms, and helped the old man wipe off the snow and a touch of sludge on his face.

The old woman, who was being carefully cared for, was extremely uncomfortable, with a timid look, her mouth was full of gratitude, and she waved her hand again and again, signaling Su Ling'er, who was like a fairy beside her, to stay away from herself, so as not to stain her clothes by the muddy water on her body.

But at Su Ling'er's insistence, the old woman finally quieted down.

After a while, the old woman who had been cleaned up seemed to suddenly remember something, and when she was about to get up, Li Tiantu pinched a copper coin and held it up in front of the old man, and said softly: "Old man, are you looking for this?" ”

The old woman nodded again and again, but did not reach out to take the copper coin, but choked up and said, "Young man, are you willing to accept the copper of the old woman?" ”

Li Tiantu was stunned, and he was about to take some silver taels from his arms to the old woman, he stopped the movement in his hand, and said with a smile: "Old man, no merit is not in vain, just now it was just a gesture, I should give you some silver taels." ”

Who knew that the old woman shook her head desperately when she heard this, and broke free from Su Ling'er, who was holding her, knelt down in front of Li Tiantu, and said sadly: "The old woman's surname is Sun, and her family lives in the slums in the west of the city. The old woman dared to use this as a reward to ask the young man to avenge the old man's son and daughter-in-law who died in vain, and killed the god-damned "ghost-faced swordsman" Tian Yimo. Otherwise, the old woman will not be blinded. ”

As he spoke, the gray-haired old man focused his forehead on the cold ice, making a "knock" sound, and red was already fainting between his head.

Li Tiantu was moved, helped Grandma Sun up, and understood the whole story from her intermittent memories.

He did not hesitate to put the copper coin in his palm, and said with a solemn face: "Old man, my name is Li Tiantu, and I accepted this copper coin." ”
