The Gun Scroll Chapter 25 Barefoot Alley

"Look at your long hands and long feet, why do you walk so slowly!" Luo Xiaoyu jumped excitedly in front of him, and pulled Xiao Qi's hand, fanning his double feathers, his body was up and down in front of him, and from a distance, it was like Xiao Qi's skill in putting paper kites was very poor, and the paper kite in his hand flew up and down.

The two walked all the way into Barefoot Alley. Xiao Qi hadn't gone deep into Barefoot Alley before, only passing by on the edge, where the Yi people gathered densely, and whenever Xiao Qi approached, he could feel a piece of malicious gaze, which made his scalp tingle.

It was Luo Xiaoyu who insisted on pulling him to visit this time, so Xiao Qi simply went into the depths of Barefoot Alley with Luo Xiaoyu. Once inside, Xiao Qi could quickly understand why people called this place "Barefoot Alley".

In Xiao Qi's imagination, the Wing people are blessed with natural wings, and the wind and sky are their world, but in this crowded and narrow space, the simple shed they set up is like a camp tent set up when humans are marching, but it is more crowded and sluggish, and it feels like it will be blown down if the wind is stronger. With such a width, three or four people walking side by side is already the limit, and there is no extra space for them to spread their wings and fly. Therefore, most of the Wing Clan people here step on the ground barefoot, and the wings behind them are often folded behind them, and they rarely fly into the sky, perhaps they have long been accustomed to being accompanied by mud, but they feel incompatible with the sky, which is completely different from the well-dressed and elegant Wing Clan people such as Gu Wanyi and Qi Li that Xiao Qi has seen before.

Xiao Qi suddenly realized that Barefoot Alley was a slum in the clear water room. The Gu Yu and the others he came into contact with before were all pyramid-like existences in this ethnic group. How can those who are in the clouds know the hardships above the mud?

Luo Xiaoyu's expression was as usual, as if he had long been accustomed to the scene in front of him, and he was still wandering around the several stalls set up at random in Barefoot Alley with great interest. Xiao Qi glanced at these stalls, but some of the vegetable and fruit crops harvested in the fields were not very fresh, and they seemed to have been stored for a long time, or the goods that had been eliminated from the group of people in the clouds, but they were still very popular in Barefoot Alley. Others sell simple stone tools, such as axes and hammers, but rarely see a single iron tool.

Xiao Qi could suddenly understand why Gu Yu was so eager to lead the Wing Clan out of the Qing Shui Room and leave this seemingly paradise of the world. As the patriarch, Gu Yu naturally has no worries about food and clothing, and he is also a top-notch existence in the clouds, so his plans are mostly for his compatriots in Barefoot Alley. Xiao Qi suddenly had some respect for Gu Yu.

Luo Xiaoyu took out a few wooden objects from his arms, which looked like wooden chips used for divination in humans. Xiao Qi knew that this was the currency that was common in Barefoot Alley. He took out a few and threw them to a vendor in a shop, picked up a few tree fruits on the table and began to nibble on them. He reached out and handed one to Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi shook his head, and he stuffed it into his mouth again.

The Wing Clan people in Barefoot Alley looked at the strange combination of Xiao Qi and Luo Xiaoyu. Luo Xiaoyu seems to have been away from Barefoot Alley for some days, and although his clothes can't catch up with Gu Yu and the others at all, he is also a little out of place with the others in Barefoot Alley. Xiao Qi is even more eye-catching here, the two of them walked all the way, and there were not a few strange glances.

Luo Xiaoyu didn't seem to be aware of it at all. He became more and more interested, and it seemed that his old memories and experiences came flooding back to his mind. In the bustling crowd, Xiao Qi didn't pay attention, and Luo Xiaoyu disappeared into the surging black head.

Xiao Qi didn't know the way, so he had to follow the flow of people, standing on tiptoe from time to time, poking his head out to find Luo Xiaoyu's figure. It's just that the crowd is crowded, and as far as the eye can see, there are strange wings and wings of all shapes folded behind them. Xiao Qi only felt that his head was a little big, and he squeezed out of the crowd, trying to find a secluded place with few people.

Suddenly, a three- or four-year-old child appeared at Xiao Qi's feet and pulled his trouser leg. The child stared at Xiao Qi with a pair of eyes, the fingers of the other hand were sucking in the small mouth, and there was still half a snot on his face. He let go of his hand, leaving a small palm print on Xiao Qi's trouser leg, which was still a little slimy.

Xiao Qi secretly hoped that it was not his snot, and tried to put on a patient expression, asking, "Are you looking for me?"

The child pointed at Xiao Qi, and then to his left. Xiao Qi looked in the direction of his finger, and there was a fork in the road, extending diagonally from the main road of Barefoot Lane, and there were significantly fewer people than on the main road.

Before Xiao Qi could ask carefully, the child ran out, and the thin wings behind him that had not yet developed shook with his footsteps, and quickly disappeared into this fork in the road.

Xiao Qi frowned, and the little boy who came and went in a hurry seemed to want to follow him into this fork in the road.

Could it be that Luo Xiaoyu is looking for himself? Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment, then walked in the direction where the child had disappeared.

On this fork in the road, there are not many stalls, more simple sheds, and many people lie directly on the ground with a straw mat, and the people here seem to be more difficult than the main road outside, and they are far less crowded than before, and there is a sense of slaughter when walking on the road. Xiao Qi walked slowly by, and from time to time someone raised his head from the shed or on the straw mat and looked at Xiao Qi, but he didn't speak, just watched him walk in front of him, and his expression was a little abnormal. For a moment, the atmosphere was very strange.

Xiao Qi hesitated to turn back, and suddenly there was a sound of the shed collapsing behind him. Xiao Qi hurriedly turned around, but what appeared in front of him was a rapidly enlarged fist shadow. His pupils contracted suddenly, and he subconsciously turned his head to dodge, while taking a few steps back under his feet.

Suddenly tripped over something under his feet, he was a little unsteady on his feet, and a black figure on his side suddenly pounced out, holding something like a long stick, and swept it around Xiao Qi's waist. Xiao Qi snorted and flew backwards.

He lay on the ground, looking up with anger on his face, trying to stand up with his hands on his back, but there was a pain in his left arm. Only then did he remember that his broken bone had not yet healed, but he still struggled to half-crouch up and saw the few people standing in front of him.

Qi Li held a wooden stick in his hand and sneered: "I want to see what the guy who makes Gu Wanyi revolve around all day has what he is capable of!" Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Qi suddenly pounced, rushed to Qi Li's body, grabbed him, and wanted to knock him to the ground. A panicked look flashed on Qi Li's face, and he bent his knees and crashed into Xiao Qi's arms. Fortunately, this collision missed the broken part of Xiao Qi's ribs, and did not hurt his broken bones, although a burst of pain hit, he still did not let go, and fell to the ground hard with Qi Li.

Only then did everyone who was with Qi Li react and pulled Qi Li out from under Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi took the opportunity to grab the wooden stick in Qi Li's hand, and took advantage of the panic of everyone to snatch it from Qi Li's hand. Before he could stand up, a man suddenly threw another punch in his face. For a while, Xiao Qi only felt that the sky was spinning, and he took a few steps back, and finally leaned on the wooden stick and barely stood still. He spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at the group in front of him with a cold gaze.

Qi Li's face was gloomy, patted the mud on his body, and scolded: "This kid is very crazy! Ruan Bisheng, abolish him for me!"

The young man of the Wing Clan named Ruan Bisheng punched Xiao Qi again, this time he pushed his wings, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi sneered, and the wooden stick in his right hand swept and rolled towards the fist that had arrived in front of him. Ruan Bisheng was like a brake, his wings were blowing, and the forward momentum of the whole person was stagnant, and Xiao Qi's wooden stick was swept away.

Xiao Qi was not in a hurry, learning from Qi Li's appearance that day, he missed a blow, put a long stick on his waist, took his waist as the axis, turned around, and greeted Ruan Bisheng more quickly. The young man named Ruan Bisheng's face changed, he didn't dare to take it hard, flapped his wings, and stepped back again. Xiao Qi did not retreat but advanced, stretched out his long stick, and chased after Ruan Bisheng, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of the cold smile on Qi Li's face.

Xiao Qi didn't have wings, he couldn't stop like Ruan Bisheng, and it was too late for him to stop, and he couldn't stop the momentum of rushing forward. A few more stick shadows came to him, Xiao Qi forcibly withdrew the long stick in his hand and blocked it in front of him, but his whole body still couldn't move and rushed forward. Qi Li jumped up suddenly, quickly dodged to Xiao Qi's side, and threw a punch, hitting Xiao Qi in the abdomen. Xiao Qi spurted out a mouthful of blood, his right hand could no longer hold the wooden stick, and the whole person fell backwards and fell to the ground.

He only heard Qi Li's cheers, and several people suddenly rushed up, fists and feet, and landed on Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi curled up, curled up into a ball, and used his back to resist the falling punches and kicks like raindrops.

"Take him to the sky and fall!" Qi Li seemed to be fighting and suddenly proposed. Ruan Bisheng hesitated and said: "He is the patriarch's guest anyway, just beat him, if he is really killed, I'm afraid there will be trouble." ”

"Fuck the patriarch! In a few days, he won't be the patriarch yet! Throw this kid's body into Gu Wanyi's cave, I want to see that little girl's face!" Qi Li said viciously.

Xiao Qi was stunned, hearing this, he struggled to get up, only to feel that someone was holding his armpit and wanted to drag him up. Qi Li's cruel laughter was endless.

"Brother Qi, what a majesty!" the voice seemed familiar. Xiao Qi reluctantly turned his head to look, only to see Zhang Sheng's snow-white wings in this filthy environment, which looked particularly eye-catching. There was also a thin figure beside him, it was Luo Xiaoyu.

Qi Li scolded secretly and said, "Captain Zhang, we ......"

Zhang Sheng suddenly raised the five fingers of his left palm. "Five. ”

Looking at the inexplicable expression on Qi Li's face, he said lightly: "I count from five to one, if there are still people left, I will send them to the guards and deal with them with weapons." ”

He glanced at the group of people, and said lightly: "I think you all know how to deal with the guards against weapons. ”

He gently folded a finger, "Four." ”

Qi Li was stunned for a moment, and snorted coldly: "For the sake of a human being, you want to arrest me, what is the reason for Captain Zhang, you are not afraid that my grandfather will trouble the guards......

"Three. ”

". Qi Li scolded, everyone present heard it, and Zhang Sheng's face did not change: "Two." ”

Qi Li snorted coldly: "Okay, Captain Zhang is very powerful! This account, we will calculate it later!" After speaking, he turned around with a scolding and led a group of minions to spread his wings and fly away. Luo Xiaoyu quickly flew to Xiao Qi's side, helped him and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's fine. Xiao Qi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and replied. He looked at Zhang Sheng floating in mid-air, then lowered his head again and said softly, "Thank you, Brother Zhang." ”

"You're welcome. My wing clan is not quite unreasonable, this matter is Qi Li and their audacity after all, fortunately, I passed by nearby, and I ran into Luo Xiaoyu and said that you are gone, otherwise I am afraid that something will really happen. Zhang Sheng fell to the ground and smiled at Xiao Qi.

He approached Xiao Qi, as if he was concerned about Xiao Qi's injury, and before he could ask, Xiao Qi suddenly raised his head and met his eyes, and said indifferently: "If Brother Zhang has official business, go first, my injury is not in the way, it is good to have Xiao Yu to accompany me." In this way, it was directly ordered to expel the customer. Luo Xiaoyu on the side raised the corners of his eyes.

Zhang Sheng didn't seem to be aware of it, nodded and said, "Okay, it just so happens that the guards still have something to do, so let's leave first." Qi Li: They shouldn't dare to come again. After saying that, he was not polite, turned around and flew away, disappearing outside the barefoot alley.

Luo Xiaoyu saw that Xiao Qi was covered in mud, with a blue nose and swollen face, and it seemed that there was really no big problem, so he couldn't help but laugh and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite beaten!"

Xiao Qi suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and his feet staggered. Luo Xiaoyu hurriedly held his arm.

"Brother Zhang provoked you, why are you in a hurry to drive him away?"

"After all, Brother Zhang is the captain of the guard, for the sake of me, an outsider, offended his own people, if he stays for a long time and leaves some gossip, it is inevitable that he will not cause him any trouble. ”

"Oh. Luo Xiaoyu nodded thoughtfully.

He gasped and said to Luo Xiaoyu, "Promise me one thing." ”

"What?" Luo Xiaoyu looked up with interest.

"Don't tell Miss Gu about today's events. Xiao Qi's eyes were as calm as autumn water, as if there was no anger or resentment, but his voice was terrifyingly cold, "I want to settle these accounts myself!"
