Chapter 17: The Beggar
The inner hall of the living room is not patronized by Japan, today or in order to entertain the main faction, the dining table has been full of delicacies, a pot of wine is hot, wafting out bursts of wine, Li Xiaomu secretly looked, there is no one in the inner hall, the disciples who should be serving have gone to the practice field to see the excitement, their hearts are settled, they straightened up, swaggered around the table, sat on the main seat, picked up a leg of mutton and stuffed it into their mouths, and copied the wine jug to the spout "Coo Dong Dong" After taking a big sip, the wine and food were in my stomach, and I was in a good mood, completely forgetting the happiness and unhappiness just now. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
He was happy, but he didn't dare to delay here for too long, he grabbed a few more handfuls of vegetables and stuffed them into his mouth, took out a oilcloth package that he usually used to pack food in the tavern from his arms, grabbed a few white steamed buns and put them in, and picked and chose some chicken heart, duck liver and lamb ribs, mixed them together, and put them in the package.
Packed up, was about to go out, suddenly heard footsteps outside, Li Xiaomu was startled, seeing that there was nowhere to hide around, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and he rushed to the bottom of the wine table in a hurry, and just dropped the table curtain, a serving disciple ran in a hurry, he stood still with a sigh, stabilized his breath, reached out to lift the door curtain, not a big one, two women walked in from outside the door, a large and a small two women, the serving disciple just said a word of welcome, and was politely invited out of the inner hall by the older woman.
Li Xiaomu saw a pair of small feet spinning around through the table curtain under the table, two blue droplets were embroidered on the red shoes, two pink pompoms hung on the tips of the shoes, and the white and tender feet were tied with colorful silk threads.
"Senior sister, why did you stop me from teaching that little thief a lesson?"
The road is narrow! It's the little girl named Luo Shu'er! Li Xiaomu was taken aback.
"Little junior sister, the master made an exception to allow you to come with me, and specially told you not to cause trouble, you see that you have made a mess here, the master has already been angry, if you make a fuss again, it is strange that the old man will spare you!"
Li Xiaomu heard that it was Luo Shuer's senior sister Tao Tao.
"That's also his 'Eight Along the Gate' people did it first, I repeatedly retreated, but they didn't appreciate it, blindly changed people to provoke, and even used killing moves, hum! I don't understand, we have a huge 'Tianhe faction', the masters are like clouds, and the disciples are thousands, why did they run to such a small branch to choose people!" Luo Shu'er was still angry.
"Senior sister, the teachers have their own plans in their hearts, don't complain, the urgency of the moment, the master has secretly instructed, we-" Tao Tao's voice suddenly lowered, Li Xiaomu pricked up his ears and couldn't hear it completely, only heard a few intermittent words: "I didn't expect it...... Trip...... There is no gain, and it must be ...... as soon as possible Delivered to ...... Message...... Piene...... Send someone to answer the ......" and then resumed his voice and said: "Let's leave tonight, you and I need to leave now, and guide the people in the faction to come to answer, the stakes are very high, and there is no room for mistakes!"
Li Xiaomu saw Luo Shu'er's little feet turn around twice, as if he was pacing and thinking.
"Okay! I'll put the overall situation first, that little thief -- I won't be able to spare him when I see him in the future!" Luo Shu'er stopped and gritted her teeth.
Li Xiaomu listened to her still thinking about herself, and secretly felt bitter in her heart.
The second daughter chatted some more gossip, ate a few bites, and left in a hurry. Li Xiaomu hid for another half a moment, and when he saw that there was no sound anymore, he sneaked out, and saw a group of disciples coming, and knew that the practice ground was scattered, so he stepped up and ran down the mountain.
......
Although the cities along the eight lines are rich and surplus, there must be rich and poor, and there are strong and weak, which has been the case since ancient times.
Some people say that the only way to blame is that the heavens favor one over the other, and that it has lost justice to the poor and weak -- this is the case with most of the little beggars outside the city gates, who kneel at the entrance of the city under the scorching sun, make bows, and beg from the passers-by along the road. A few little beggars were hungry at this time, and they didn't eat a decent bite of anything in a few meals, and they cursed the queen of heaven, and cursed the pedestrians on the road.
I don't know what happened in the past few days, and there were suddenly more strangers in the city, and they were all people in the rivers and lakes who were dressed energetically and practiced martial arts, some were disciples of various sects, and some were strong and powerful in the green forest, they were either indifferent or vicious, and they scared the ordinary people in the city so much that they didn't dare to come out casually, and the little beggars naturally had less charity on weekdays.
A little beggar of about ten years old had a sallow face and was so thin that he was only skinny and bones, and he pressed his shriveled stomach and prayed that God would open his eyes and give him some food. A beggar with a vegetable-faced face next to him said impatiently: "Please, God, will his old man take care of you? You can really fall from the sky-"
Before he could finish speaking, something actually fell from the sky, and it was falling into the arms of the sallow beggar—not a pie, but a greasy chicken thigh......
The beggars were stunned, and then another oilcloth package fell from the sky, and some beggars opened it, and saw that it was stuffed with chickens, ducks, liver, flesh and bones, and all the beggars were surprised and delighted.
"Brother Xiaomu! it must be Brother Xiaomu—" the sallow-yellow beggar exclaimed excitedly.
The beggars' faces were filled with joy, and they searched everywhere to find no one. But suddenly I saw a person jumping from the big tree next to him, looking at them with a smile, it was Li Xiaomu.
The beggars immediately surrounded him, and the sallow little beggar ran up and grabbed Li Xiaomu's arm and shouted, "Brother Xiaomu, where did you get so many good things?
Li Xiaomu smiled and said to everyone: "Don't say more, eat quickly, eat quickly, taste while it's hot!"
The beggars were hungry, how could they care about the taste, they grabbed it and stuffed it into their mouths, Li Xiaomu smiled, and the summer sun shone brightly on his face.
Li Xiaomu was very happy to see everyone gobbling up, and was looking for some water, but found that the sallow little beggar was holding the chicken leg in his hand, silent, Li Xiaomu said: "Douzi, what's wrong with you?"
Douzi glanced up at Li Xiaomu, lowered his head again, and said in a low voice: "Grandma hasn't eaten for a few days......" said with tears in his eyes.
Li Xiaomu's heart was sour, his eyes were also a little red, and he said, "Eat, eat, there are a lot-" He secretly touched his money bag, and the last two copper plates left on his body could only drink herbal tea, which was enough for a full meal. He was depressed, but a smile appeared on his face, and he poured out all the steamed buns that he had kept for himself to avoid the disaster, "Oh! look, look!
Seeing that his heart was wide, Douzi raised the chicken leg in his hand, looked at it again and again, and finally put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it vigorously, swallowed and spat hard, but he was still reluctant to take a bite.
Suddenly a horse neighed, four tall horses rushed out of the town, pedestrians on the road have avoided, the four people who rode on the horse did not slow down, galloped straight towards the city gate, the horse is a good horse, the speed is extremely fast, when the first horse rushed to the near place in a blink of an eye, the little beggars were shocked, people have jumped away, but they have no time to care about the food on the ground, the horse flew over and splashed dust and sand, burst down on the food, thick cover, the chicken leg in the bean's hand was splashed on the horse's feces and urine, and he could no longer eat it.
The beggars were furious, shouting and scolding, and the street slang cursed casually, and the beans looked at the chicken legs covered with filth in a daze, and tears flowed down.
Li Xiaomu saw that the four people galloped on horseback, and did not mean to stop, although he was angry in his heart, but seeing that they were all burly and strong, he might be able to run if he provoked himself, but it would definitely affect the little beggars, seeing that the last person and a horse also passed by, and was thinking about how to secretly make it bad, but he saw that the beans suddenly did not know where the strength came from, rushed up a few steps, threw it hard, and the chicken leg in his hand flew out, perhaps because of his anger and skill, the chicken leg was smashed on the last person's head impartially.
"Whoa?!" the man grabbed the horse, turned the horse's head, and saw Beanzi glaring at him panting.
"Little, you're looking for death!" the man shouted.
Douzi saw that the man was burly and his muscles were intertwined, and he couldn't help but be afraid, but he still said, "Compensation, compensation for my things!"
The man laughed "haha" and scolded, "I'm so tired of life!" With that, he jumped off his horse, bent down and picked up a big bluestone on the ground and walked towards the beans. The bluestone was two feet long and wide, at least a hundred catties up and down, and he was carrying it with one hand, as if he was carrying a pine plank, fluttering.
The other three also rode back and looked coldly.
Douzi was so frightened that his legs trembled a little, Li Xiaomu secretly complained, he walked over and dragged Douzi behind him, and greeted the big man who came over with a bitter face.
"Ahh Before Li Xiaomu could dodge, he heard a miserable scream from the big man, and the person knelt on the ground with a "bang", struggling a few times and not standing up, his arms drooped, cold sweat slipped down his face, and he looked around nervously.
Li Xiaomu scratched his head and looked at the big man kneeling on the ground in surprise, not knowing what had just happened.
"Which senior master taught him?Can you leave your honorific name, the four tigers of the Hao family will come to visit in the future!" He looked behind Li Xiaomu with a gloomy face, except for a few little beggars, there were many people in that place, there were all kinds of dressed Taoists, martial artists, and good deeds in the town. But everyone looked around and whispered, and no one came out to answer.
Immediately, the other man with a short beard frowned, and dismounted to check on the big man's injuries, but the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and his face gradually turned pale. "It's not a secret weapon, it's a secret weapon, it's a condensation of energy, and you know where our cover door is......" The man whispered to himself, staring at the big man's right leg, where there was a small hole in his pants, and the torn cloth was turned out, revealing his flesh.
"The third, the fourth, don't have a branch, let's go!" the man picked up the big man, turned around and glanced at the horseman, and said in a low voice.
When Douzi saw that the four people got on the horse and raised their whips to leave, he was anxious and blurted out: "Wait, compensate me-"
The short-bearded man looked back at the beans, and said with a cold smile: "Okay!
A few points of silver light drew a long arc, coming fast and fierce, and went straight to the front door of Douzi and Li Xiaomu......
