Yesterday's battle made Xu Han extremely tired.

He slept for a long time, only to wake him up to a loud noise outside the door.

Xu Han, who was sleepy-eyed, put on his clothes, picked up Xuan'er, who was already impatient, and walked outside the house.

He looked at the sky, and the time was up, and he had slept for five hours.

The noise coming from outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion was getting louder and louder, and it seemed that many people were gathered together, and the sound was too noisy for Xu Han to really hear. With the Tiance Mansion Army and many red-robed ministers there, Xu Han was not worried about any trouble, so he washed up in the courtyard first, tidied up his clothes, and then walked out of the courtyard.

When he came to the gate of the courtyard, he found that outside the city lord's mansion of Nuoda, there were dense beggars in rags, and the focus of their gathering was the rice porridge brought by Qin Keqing and many Tiance Mansion soldiers.

At the moment, they are distributing these rice porridges to these beggars.

"This is..."Xu Han was a little stunned, he walked into the crowd and asked.

Qin Keqing also noticed Xu Han's arrival at this time, she smiled slightly, and said, "Today, I went to the street with Uncle Hongjian to buy food, but I saw a lot of beggars in this Salt Lake City. Over the years, I have saved some silver taels in the Linglong Pavilion, so I begged the deer seniors for a favor, delayed a little time, and cooked porridge and rice for these beggars. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Keqing seemed to look at Xu Han again with some concern. "Keqing is so good at making claims, Childe won't be angry..."

Looking at her like that, Xu Han couldn't help but think of the half of the steamed bun demon handed by the girl from Shangyun City in Qingzhou a few years ago, her temperament is like this, if it weren't for her kindness, how could there be Xu Han today?

"Why. Xu Han smiled and shook his head.

After Xu Han's reply, Qin Keqing was immediately relieved, and she carried a spoon again, and distributed porridge and rice to these beggars from a pot of rice porridge that had been replaced by the Tiance Mansion Army.

"Miss Keqing is really a bodhisattva. At this time, a smiling voice came from Xu Han's ears.

Xu Han was stunned for a moment, turned his eyes to look, but saw that Mr. Lu was already standing behind him at some point.

"Here comes the gentleman. Xu Han hurriedly bowed his hand respectfully.

"Young master, this master and servant are different, you are the master of the mansion, I am a subordinate, this kind of etiquette can not afford to be old!" Seeing Xu Han like this, Mr. Lu hurriedly stretched out his hand and raised Xu Han's arched hand, and said with a smile in his mouth.

"There is a difference between master and servant, and there is also a difference between the young and the old. Sir, you should bow down to me. Xu Han didn't care about saying this, this ceremony was still carried out after all.

When Mr. Lu saw that he insisted on this, he did not argue with him on the matter.

He turned his eyes to the beggars who were pushing for a bowl of gruel, and sighed suddenly.

"The people are not happy. ”

Xu Han also looked at the yellow and thin faces at that time, he had been a beggar for more than ten years, and he was not surprised by such a situation.

"What's the use of this porridge? I don't have to go hungry tomorrow. Xu Han also sighed immediately. The year of the Great Zhou is not as good as a year, the so-called people's livelihood is withering, and the social society will collapse is probably nothing more than that.

But when the old man next to him heard this, he glanced at Xu Han at that time. He replied lightly: "How can it be useless?"

"If you live through today, there will be tomorrow, and the world is unpredictable, and who knows whether tomorrow awaits you hungry or another full meal?"

When Xu Han heard this, he was stunned again. He subconsciously wanted to refute, but inexplicably thought of the half of the bun during the drought that year. Maybe if he really didn't have that half of the bun, he really wouldn't be able to survive that summer...

"This trip to Chang'an, it is difficult and dangerous, the young master has to learn from these beggars, no matter what, after all, he can't give up the hope in his heart. Mr. Deer's voice rang out again at that moment.

Xu Han turned his head to look at the old man at that time, his eyes sank, and he bowed again, "Thank you, sir, Xu Han has been taught." ”

Mr. Lu stroked his beard and smiled at that time, and said no more.

......

The beggars gathered more and more, and Zhou Zhang, Ye Hongjian and others also came out to help, but they were still busy.

Xu Han thought about it, then said goodbye to Mr. Lu beside him, took a bucket of rice porridge from the hands of a Tiance government soldier, and walked into the crowd with a wooden spoon to start rice porridge with everyone.

The Mr. Deer watched from a distance and immediately smiled.

......

There were too many wives and children begging for rice porridge, and Xu Han couldn't squeeze into the crowd, so he could only go outside and mingle with people.

Then dozens of Tiance Mansion soldiers were summoned by Mr. Lu to act on this matter together, and with their joining, the progress of the rice porridge was much faster.

Xu Han, who had unconsciously walked to the intersection, looked at the rice porridge in the wooden barrel, and there was not much left in it. Xu Han wanted to change to a bucket, but at that time, out of the corner of his eye, there seemed to be a pair of eyes in the alley at the intersection, looking at him cautiously.

Xu Han turned his head, and the owner of those eyes retracted his body vigilantly, Xu Han secretly felt a little funny, at that time, his toes touched the ground, and the speed of Zixiao Realm was exerted to the extreme at that moment, just a dodge, and he rushed to the mouth of the alley.

The man at the entrance of the alley seemed to be frightened and turned around to escape, but Xu Han's speed was extremely fast, and he stopped in front of him in a blink of an eye.

Xu Han looked at it, but saw that the owner of those voyeuristic eyes was actually a boy.

He was about thirteen or twelve years old, thin and ragged, except for the big eyes that seemed to be no different from ordinary beggars, except for the two swords and swords that the boy carried, which were as tall as his body.

It's a bit strange to dress like this.

Is it to think of a little beggar who looks hungry for more than ten days with a sword on his back, since he is already hungry, why not use the sword as a sword and exchange for some rations? Xu Han didn't understand, but felt that if he was back then, he would definitely do it without hesitation.

Xu Han looked at the boy, and the boy also looked at Xu Han.

At that time, there was a hint of scrutiny in the boy's gaze.

Xu Han secretly felt funny, but he didn't know how to scoop out the remaining rice porridge from the wooden barrel, handed it to the boy, and asked as kindly as possible, "Do you want it?"

The white rice porridge hurt and warmed, and the aroma emitted made the boy swallow his saliva subconsciously, and he looked at the rice porridge for a long time before retracting his gaze with great difficulty. Then, shaking his head firmly.

"Don't. He said.

Xu Han was surprised by this answer, he looked up and down again, and the boy who was already skinny couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"I'm not a beggar! I can't ask for something from someone else. The boy's answer was extremely firm.

"Not a beggar?" Xu Han looked at the boy's outfit, which was really unconvincing.

The boy also seemed to realize this, his face turned red, and he muttered again: "My father said, the most important thing for a knife is face, no matter how poor and hungry you are, you can't do such a shameful thing as being a beggar!"

"Swordsman?" Xu Han was stunned again when he heard this, the boy's appearance, except for the exaggerated knife on his back, could not find any so-called swordsman's appearance.

Xu Han's skeptical tone made the little boy angry.

He looked at Xu Han with wide eyes, and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Don't believe it, I am a swordsman, my father is a swordsman, my father's father is a swordsman, my father's father's father..."

Xu Han smiled bitterly, looking at this serious boy, he finally decided not to argue with him anymore. He waved his hand again and again, "Okay, well, you're a swordsman." Since you're not a beggar, what are you doing here, this is a place to give soup to beggars. ”

When the boy heard this, his face suddenly showed hesitation, and he squirmed and thought for a while before he looked up at Xu Han and said, "I came to find Tiance Mansion, and I heard that they live here." ”

"Huh?" The boy's answer surprised Xu Han, and he asked with interest, "What are you looking for Tiance Mansion for?"

But the boy shook his head at that time, and replied angrily: "You are not from Tiance Mansion, why should I tell you?"

When the boy said this, he looked very arrogant, but the corner of his eye was clearly staring at the rice porridge in Xu Han's wooden bucket.

Xu Han smiled dumbly when he saw this.

"Is this good, I'll exchange this bucket of rice porridge with you, you tell me why you want to find Tiance Mansion, and I'll give you rice porridge." This is our exchange, not charity. Xu Han said.

"This..." The boy hesitated, he instinctively felt that it seemed inappropriate to do so, but the hunger in his stomach made it a little difficult for him to resist Xu Han's whole proposal.

Seeing that the boy was a little moved, Xu Han hurriedly said again: "Although I am not from Tiance Mansion, I can take you to meet them, don't you say it's very good?"

"Then I'll eat first, and then I'll tell you. The boy thought about it, as if he was afraid that Xu Han would deceive him, and said extremely cautiously.

Xu Han smiled helplessly, and handed the rice bucket over. The boy was probably really hungry, so he took the bucket and looked up to see a burst of sea water, and drank the remaining rice porridge in the bucket with a few sips.

Looking at the thin boy with the corners of his mouth full of rice grains, Xu Han inexplicably thought of himself back then, he moved his compassion, and asked with concern, "Do you want more?"

"No!" the boy shook his head, and patted his stomach to show that he was full.

"Then can you tell me why you want to find Tiance Mansion now?" Xu Han asked with a smile.

The boy's eyes sank at that time, and he said solemnly: "My father was captured by the people of the Long Night Division, I saved him, but I couldn't beat them, so I want to find Tiance Mansion!"

"What does this have to do with Tiance Mansion?"

"The Long Night Division is a bad person, Tiance Mansion is a good person, and if you find a good person, you can naturally clean up the bad person. "The boy's logic is ridiculously naïve.

"Who told you that Tiance Mansion is a good person?"

"My dad!"

"What if your dad lied to you?"

"No, my father is a swordsman, and swordsmen don't lie. ”

Xu Han was a little helpless about the boy's stubbornness, he thought about it, with the boy's appearance, if he was allowed to stay here alone, I was afraid that he would not be able to live or die, so why not take him away and ask the reason for this matter again. After all, as the old saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend, and Tiance will not lack this pair of chopsticks in the future.

"Okay. Then you come with me, and I'll take you to see the people of Tiance Mansion. Thinking of this, Xu Han finally nodded.

"Really?" the boy was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly reached out to wipe the rice grains from the corners of his mouth.

"Well, let's go. Xu Han nodded, turned around and walked in the direction of the boy with everyone.

"You are a good person, when I become the most powerful swordsman in the world in the future, you will be my little brother, and I will take you to eat and drink spicy food. The boy seemed to let his guard down and began to ramble.

"Hmm. Xu Han didn't care.

"Don't you believe me? I'll tell you about my daddy's daddy's... Daddy, but the most powerful swordsman at that time took three wives, and I will take three in the future—" The boy counted the number of fathers in his words, and counted seventeen before stopping. It was as if what he said had really happened.

"So powerful?" Xu Han didn't respond to the young man, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, turned his head and asked, "By the way, what's your name?"

When the boy heard this, he smiled.

"Su Mu'an. He said this, his head raised as if it were a great name.
