The towering city wall at night thought it was a hill from a distance, and on the top of the city wall at this time, a young man was silently watching the traffic under the city.

The city is a bustling scene, while outside the city is an eerie and silent wilderness.

The young man's eyes searched the city endlessly, and finally, he stopped at a magnificent building.

"Xijing, the master is back......"

Walking side by side in the crowd, Fu Li almost didn't have to lift his legs. This is also the first time in many years that Fu has stepped into such a grand event again, as if it was a world away.

In the endless night of eternal night, there is only a red moon. And this red moon, every three years, turns white one day.

On this day, it is the Yuehua Festival.

On this day, people dress up in costumes and participate in the ritual of worshiping the god of the moon, which is perhaps the favorite festival of men, as the major green houses will send a peerless virgin to participate in the Oiran finals.

The most "astonishing" of them will become the Oiran and be dedicated to the god of the moon. The remaining women who were not elected will become the "commodity" of various princes and magnates.

The familiar streets, the familiar flow of people, and the thoughts of Fu Li seem to return to the days of wandering on the streets ten years ago. On the street corner he had just walked by, he was only nine years old when he was abducted by soldiers in iron armor, put in a cage, branded, like a lamb pressed to a chopping board, watching the pitch-black liquid inject into his pupils......

Fu Li shook his head, came back to his senses from that nightmare, and before he knew it, he had come to the magnificent building, and when he looked up, he saw three golden characters written on the vermilion lacquer plaque - "Ruyi Building".

In the past, Fu Li also wandered around here, and when he returned here, the child who used to beg had become a heroic teenager. Dressed in a black fur, with deerskin boots, a python belt horizontally, and a mysterious fox face hanging on his waist, although there is no gorgeous decoration, but it shows the heroic spirit of a young man.

Fu Lizheng was dressed and was about to go inside, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by the guards twice. Fu Li looked around and couldn't help but smile bitterly, although he had already put on his "luxurious" clothes this time, it was still a world of difference compared to the noble sons and brothers around him who were in and out full of jewels.

I didn't have the eyesight to see it, how to be a guard in a Fengyue place like Ruyi Building, where dignitaries and nobles came and went, although they could see at a glance that the "plainly dressed" Fu Li was different, but they didn't drive him away directly, but clasped their hands into fists and asked with their chins bowed.

"What do you have to do?"

"I'm looking for your boss. ”

Fu Li didn't beat around the bush and said it directly, he really didn't come to have fun, if these two guards could directly find the boss of Ruyi Building, it would be the best.

"Hahaha. After Fu Li finished speaking, the two guards couldn't help laughing, and their random eyes began to become contemptuous. "Who do you think you are, the Ruyi landlord is what you want to see? I have been here for so long, and I have never seen the true face of the landlord, and I will roll for Lao Tzu. ”

Just as the guard was speaking, Fu Li suddenly felt that someone was watching him behind him, and he turned around suddenly, only to see a bustling flow of people. But just as he retracted his gaze, he suddenly saw an old woman at the side door of the Ruyi Building distributing the leftovers to the homeless people on the street.

A gentle smile appeared on the corner of Fu Li's mouth, and he left under the disdainful gaze of the guard, and walked straight towards the old woman.

The old woman was dressed in plain clothes, simple but elegant, with gray sideburns, although her face was engraved with traces of time, she could vaguely see the charm of the year.

There were many exquisite food boxes beside the old woman, and there were already many homeless people gathered in front of her, only to see that she kept opening the food boxes and pouring plates of leftovers into the broken bowls of the homeless people around her.

Outside the circle of homeless people, two skinny children were trying to squeeze in, but they were so thin that the homeless people piled up in front of them as if they were a high wall, and no matter how anxious they were, it would not help. Seeing that the food was distributed, they had to stand far away with their heads hung down, helpless but no tears in their eyes.

Stray children rarely cry because they know that tears do not bring pity......

Fu Li seemed to see his former self all of a sudden, and that feeling hit his heart, and he could fully understand what the two children were feeling now. Helplessness, disappointment, and constant hunger in the belly.

Fu Li would never help anyone who had nothing to do with him, except for the girl who saved him from the mouth of the greedy demon that day, which was an accident for him. But now, he walked up to the two children, squeezed out a stiff smile, and stretched out his hand, motioning for them to give him the broken bowl in their hand.

The two children looked puzzled, but perhaps sensing Fu Li's kindness, they trembled and handed the broken bowl to Fu Li's hands.

"Wait for me here. ”

With that, Fu Li turned around and squeezed into the homeless crowd. He is like the most ordinary tramp, holding two broken bowls, desperately moving forward, he has no reason to hurt anyone, you can't eat can only blame yourself for being too weak, in the era when everyone is fish and meat, who cares about the life or death of the weak.

By the time Fu Li squeezed in front of the old woman, his most "handsome" black clothes had already been pulled into rags. He straightened his unkempt silver hair and stretched out two broken bowls to the old woman.

"Smack. I saw that the plate in the old woman's hand fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces, and the homeless people leaned down to snatch the food that was scattered all over the place.

At this time, the old woman seemed to be frozen in place, and her eyes stared straight at Fu Li.

"You ......"

The old woman's lips closed slightly, and she asked in a trembling whisper.

Seeing that the old woman seemed to recognize herself, Fu Xuan suddenly sighed with emotion, ten years later, the woman who had given him a little favor could still remember him.

"Can you give me some, there are two children there who don't ......"

Fu Li didn't answer the old woman, but just lowered his head and said sincerely.

"Hmm...... I'm sorry, but you're too much like the old kid. ”

The old woman came back to her senses and muttered to herself as she poured the leftovers into the bowl in Fu Li's hand.

"Thank you. ”

Without too many words, Fu Li just lowered his head and bowed deeply, for the sake of the two bowls of rice in his hand, and for the favor he had given himself. He hurried through the crowd with his head down, but when he emerged from the crowd, he found the two children missing......

Looking around, he was surprised to find that the two children had been handcuffed and were following behind a group of ironclad soldiers.

". ”

Fu Li gritted his teeth and scolded secretly, he didn't expect that what he experienced ten years ago would happen again in front of him at this time, such a thing has continued to this day, how many people have been killed by that appalling ink poison experiment, Fu Li couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine when he thought of this, he carefully placed the broken bowl in his hand on the side of the road, and looked at the soldiers who were gradually moving away and rubbed his palms.

As a well-known hunter in the rebel force "Yellow Springs" against the underworld, Fu Li's whereabouts must not be exposed in the city, he is not a nosy person, and he has long been indifferent to the life and death of others, but he was deeply hurt by the scene in front of him, and he really couldn't bear the thought that those children were about to end their lives as experiments.

Just as Fu Li was about to rush over to make a big move, a pair of big rough hands rested on his shoulders. Turning around, a bearded homeless man was holding a broken bowl lying on the ground in one hand, gulping down the leftovers into his mouth.

"Don't go to death, those people can't afford to mess with. The bearded man devoured a bowl of rice, and because he was in such a hurry that his beard was covered with oily food, he waited until he swallowed what was in his mouth before he continued.

"Little brother is coming to Xijing for the first time, I see that you are very good, I advise you not to worry about those two cubs, everyone has their own fate." ”

Everyone has their own life, these four words made Fu Li fall silent for a moment, the homeless man finished eating a bowl, and reached out to get another bowl, Fu Li stopped him at once.

"You?"

"What's the matter? They can't come back, I'll help those two cubs eat, don't waste it. ”

Fu Li let go of his hand in amazement, and when he turned back, he could no longer see the backs of the two children.

What would have been the result if he had rushed up just now, exposing his identity, and then being surrounded and suppressed by the soldiers, and in the end, not only could he not save anyone, but even his own life would not be guaranteed.

A deep sense of powerlessness swept through the boy's heart, and he couldn't stop even such small things that happened every day......

Fu Li sat on the side of the street, looking at the two empty bowls in a daze, the bearded man disappeared after eating, and the crowd celebrating the Yuehua Festival came and went, and the joy of the people made Fu Li feel more and more desolate......
