The man with a fierce face saw He Wei's actions timid, timid as a mouse, and his momentum became even more arrogant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 His gaze was firmly locked on He Wei's hands, and he asked in a heavy tone, "Dagger?" Or iron? ”

As soon as this sentence came out, a bearded man who followed him came up and patted his shoulder and pointed: "Big brother, you see that this guy is not small, he actually carries an iron dagger with him, presumably a rich child, in my opinion, let's forget it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble in the future." ”

"Big brother, forget it." The five or six strong men who followed closely behind all had the same thoughts as the bearded man, and they all dissuaded him in unison.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, his gaze always resting on He Wei's body. He took a clumsy step forward, looked at He Wei with a nervous expression and asked again, "Where did the dagger come from?" ”

He Wei couldn't help but take a step back in a panic, and replied with the cowhide band on his face: "One ...... Sent by a friend. ”

"How about giving it to me?"

"What...... What the? ”

"How about giving it to me?"

The middle-aged man focused all his attention on the dagger, his face was expressionless, he didn't move anything, squinted his eyes and asked the same question: "How about giving it to me?" You shouldn't mind, right? ”

"Hey, big brother, forget it, this kid is by no means an ordinary person, and if he insists on going his own way at this time, he will only bring about his own destruction." The bearded man looked cramped and uneasy, patted him on the shoulder and continued to persuade.

The middle-aged man squinted at the bearded man and did not speak.

And all the strong men in the vicinity surrounded him one after another, and kept persuading the middle-aged man, all of which were intended to make him think twice.

After He Wei, who was standing on the side and confronting each other, heard their conversation, the root of Xuan in his heart also relaxed. He clenched the dagger in his hand, walked straight and quickly, and when the man was not paying attention, he pressed the blade against his neck, gritted his teeth, and said, "My dagger is much sharper than your wooden stick, do you want to try it?" ”

The man suddenly felt a little cold in his throat, and when he turned around and saw the terrifying scene in front of him, he immediately realized that his face turned blue with fright.

And the rest of the strong men were even more frightened and trembling.

The bearded man hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded him: "Calm down, this young man, in fact, we are not evildoers, we are also forced to be helpless, eat together, and hope that the adults will spare us this time." ”

He Wei crossed his eyebrows and swept his gaze to each of their faces one by one, and the sound of breathing through his nose became heavier and heavier. After a few minutes of stalemate, seeing that each of them was silent, he slowly released the dagger, and at the same time took out the previous bag from his pocket, threw it to the bearded man, and said: "The steamed buns are all for you, I have done my best to be benevolent and righteous, and it is best not to come to trouble me." ”

After the bearded man took the steamed bun, he didn't reply, just stared at his face dumbfounded, standing in place like a scarecrow.

After He Wei took the dagger back, he still kept a wary gaze at them, first took a few steps back, separated from them by some distance, and then slowly turned around and left towards the mouth of the alley.

"Thank you Shaoxia!!"

When He Wei drove to the mouth of the alley step by step, there was a loud sound of thanks in his ears. He subconsciously squinted at the situation behind him, and suddenly found that the seven or eight strong men who were standing in the alley before had knelt on the ground on their knees, and the rows of countless heads and hearts were sincerely knocked on the stone slabs on the ground.

Biao looked up at He Wei's standing figure, raised his hands into fists above his head and bowed: "Shaoxia's grace today, we will never forget it, and we will definitely repay it in the future." ”

He Wei smiled helplessly, and continued to abandon him.

After He Wei left, he walked all the way to the dock before. The withered trees of yesterday were in full bloom again, and the rapids between the rivers seemed dimmer than they looked at night.

There were a lot more people on the wharf, most of them were gray-haired old mothers washing their clothes by the river, and the fabric was getting darker and darker the more they washed, but they were still washing, washing again and again, and their nails were turned black by the river.

The town is connected to the pier road, and from time to time you will see pedestrians carrying large bags and small bags to the pier to wash their clothes. Most of them wore straw sandals, most of which were "clothes" woven from leaves, and their hair was dirty, which could no longer be described as poor.

There were many small wooden boats on the shore, and in each of them there was a white-haired old man, all of whom were of similar size, and if you stood at a distance and looked at them, you would be dazzled by the feeling that they were the same person.

The strange thing is that whether it is a small town or a wharf, almost all the pedestrians He Wei meets are full of fish patterns and are over the age of six. Either it's a big man and three thick men, except for the filthy female beggar who happened to bump into him in the alley before, he has never met a boy of the same age, or a girl of the same age.

And at this time, the only thing He Wei wanted to do most in his heart was to find Xiao Ye and the others who were separated in the inn yesterday. He didn't have any good feelings for Xiao Ye, but he could feel that Xiao Ye must have a way to cure his disease, yes, it was not so much a sideshow as an incurable disease.

As soon as He Wei was about to walk to the dock, a strange sound emanated from nearby.

"Ignorant boy, do you remember old decay?"

He Wei immediately looked around, but he didn't find anyone, but he could clearly feel that the voice was coming from beside him, and it could even be said that a mouth was close to his ear.

He Wei stretched out his hand and rubbed his ears, and a "buzzing" sound echoed in his mind, as if countless flies were flying around in his eardrums. He slapped the back of his head with the palm of his hand desperately, always feeling that something was wrong.

"Ignorant boy, do you remember old decay?"

This time the voice came clearly from his ears, and he quickly turned his eyes again to the left and right, but there was no trace of anyone in front of him, except for the big tree not far from the jungle, and he did not find any suspicious traces.

"Hey, hey, hey! Yes, yes, that's the direction, come slowly, you're already very close to decay. ”

He Wei immediately locked his eyes on the sturdy tree in the jungle, and suddenly an unbearable anger appeared in his heart, and he hurriedly sped away towards the big tree.

When he came to the big tree, He Wei pointed at it and scolded: "What do you want to do with the old fox?" Hurt so many people, isn't it enough to be idle? ”

As soon as the words fell, a pale corpse suddenly fell out of the dense leaves, but it did not fall directly to the ground, its hands were tied with a rope, its eyes suddenly opened, its lips opened, and a series of unusual voices came out of its voice: "Not enough!" Inadequate! It will take more, more, more blood to melt into the decrepit body. ”

He Wei was suddenly frightened by the corpse falling out of the dense leaves, and his legs were almost unstable on his feet.

The body did not look like it had hanged itself, and its face looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, covered in blood. It looked like he had been beaten to death and hung from a tree branch with a rope.

The dead young man, his eyes widened, his lips opened open, and his voice continued to make a voice that did not match his face, and he roared, "You!! You!!! Go and send hot blood to the old decay, and I will give you gold, shining gold. ”

He Wei looked up at the poor body hanging from the branch, and after sneering, he sneered: "Heh, you are really a madman who has lost his conscience, and you have harmed so many innocent lives, are you not afraid of being punished by God?" ”

"Damnation? I am the damnation of heaven, tomorrow when the night comes, the old man will see the blood, you will always be my apostle, you can only obey my commands, as long as the blood of young boys and girls, under twenty-eight years old, if you do not obey, great calamity will befall you. ”

The tree withered in a short moment, and green leaves fell into the air. The corpse hanging between the branches suddenly fell heavily to the ground,

The dirt on the ground was smashed into a three-foot-long crater.

The vicissitudes of life also disappeared from He Wei's ears in an instant, he looked down at the pale corpse lying on the ground, and couldn't help but rush up to hold its head up, he reached out and touched the heartbeat on the young man's chest, and found that it had long subsided.

A few bright tears dripped from the corners of He Wei's eyes, spilling on the young man's pale face, the young man's eyes were instantly closed, and a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

Soon, the boy turned into a black liquid and completely disappeared from the space, like a layer of ice grilled in flames.

"I will avenge you, you rest in peace, and hope in the next life after reincarnation is not hell, but heaven."

He Wei wrapped the black liquid left by the boy in leaves, went to the jungle to collect colorful wildflowers, sprinkled them on the leaves, threw them into the river, and buried them forever under the water.

An old man on a wooden boat on the bank of the river saw his actions and said to him with a smile: "Hey! The young man over there, so many people die every day, can you bury them? ”

He Wei slowly raised his head, shifted his gaze to the old man's body, and said in a low voice: "People will die, every day, if they are not buried, will they not be able to leave their corpses in the wilderness?" ”

The old man on the wooden boat rowed the oars and rowed the boat all the way to He Wei's side, with a stiff smile on his face, carefully observed his body, and said, "Are you going to take a boat to the other side?" ”

"How do you know?"

"I see that you are in a hurry, and a trace of cold sweat is oozing from your forehead, not to go to the other side of the river, but where are you going?"

"You're smart, but I don't want you to use your cleverness in this kind of boring place, let's say, how many steamed buns do you have to spend on the other side?" He Wei looked at him indifferently and said.

"What? Steamed bread? Hahaha! Old man, I have a broken boat, carrying people across the river, how can I afford to collect any steamed buns, if you don't dislike it, come up, I will send you across the river for free. The old man smiled and pulled a cigarette stick out of his pocket.

He Wei's face was a little ugly, but he still walked to the boat and said to the old man, "Do you all like to smoke?" Yesterday I saw an old man rowing a boater, who from time to time liked to take out a cigarette pot and take two puffs, but his fate was miserable, but it was also his own fault, and if he had not coveted some possessions, he might not have died in the river. ”

The old man stretched out his hand and paddled the oars, and said, "Haha, everyone has their own ambitions, and I am saying, who sees wealth and is not moved?" What else can a powerless old man like us do but carry people on the dock to make some money? ”

He Wei looked at the old body, smiled indifferently, and said: "What you said is yes, this army is chaotic, thieves are rampant, how can there be any saints, just before I walked alone in the alley, I actually ran into so many bandits, it was in the city, think about how ridiculous it is." ”

The old man suddenly threw away the oars in his hand, bowed his head and bent down to pick up a basket from his wear, stuffed it into He Wei's hand, and said: "This is the old man, I just shot down the wild vegetables from the mountain today, take it back to cook soup and drink, see that you are still a good person, I will be merciful, and give you this small gift, and I hope that the young man will not dislike it." ”

He Wei was stunned for a moment, reached out and took the wooden basket in the old man's hand, opened it and took a look, only to find that it was not a wild vegetable at all, but a long and thick black snake. They took advantage of He Wei's unrealization, and pounced on He Wei's wrist and bit it.

He Wei was shocked, hurriedly threw the basket in his hand into the river, covered the wound with his hand, gritted his teeth and looked at the old man on the boat, and said, "What do you mean?" I don't know you, but I have a one-sided relationship, and I didn't have any deep hatred before, you actually want to harm me? ”

The old man's face was calm, and he suddenly couldn't help laughing again, and said to He Weile: "If you don't have a ghost in your heart, then it's a wild vegetable, and if you have a ghost in your heart, then it's a poisonous snake, what?" Do you have a ghost in your heart? ”

"What do you mean by that? Believe it or not, I'm going to push you down the river right now. In a fit of rage, He Wei stood up from the boat, and his stop made the whole boat sway, and the boat stopped on the river.

The old man's face didn't look flustered at all, he just quietly let out a mockery, and stood straight on the wooden boat, as if all this had been expected by him, he calmly pointed to He Wei's nose and said: "You hairy doll, you really don't know the current affairs, old man, I kindly planted you to cross the river, and gave you wild vegetables, why do you want to be angry?" ”
