On the streets of the bustling Jinzhou City, Yi Chen and Mu Shanqing walked side by side, holding purple and green swords, looking like young chivalrous men from large families who came out to travel the rivers and lakes.

Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, and a group of people who looked like thugs were bullying a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with a wooden stick.

The boy held the stick tightly in his arms, gritted his teeth and refused to make a sound, curled up on the ground and was punched and kicked by everyone.

The people who passed by turned a blind eye to it, and hung up on it with an attitude that it didn't concern them.

Yi Chen held the sword in his chest and looked at the scene in front of him with interest, he felt that just a few breaths ago, the young man had clearly lost his breath, but he had breathed again inexplicably, as if a dead person had come back to life.

Of course, it may also be his delusion, the young man deliberately held his breath, but no matter what, it aroused his interest after all, and at the same time, seeing this indifferent humanity also made him feel that everything he did for Xuan Cang back then was deeply worthless.

There were so many people passing by that no one went up to stop them in this crowded street.

After all, Mu Shanqing is a woman who has just been involved in the world, and this scene suddenly aroused her compassion, and she felt that this young man was so pitiful.

"Stop!"

Several scoundrels stopped instantly, all staring intently at the woman who made a sound, and originally wanted to go up and tease a few times, but when they saw Yi Chen who was careless behind them and the swords in their hands, they put away their strength, and the leader spat at the young man: "Let you go today!"

Mu Shanqing hurriedly stepped forward to help the young man up, only to see that the young man in cloth looked a little dull, then turned his head to look at the two, regained his clarity, and then silently hugged the wooden stick in his arms.

Yi Chen, who was originally a little careless, approached him and asked, "Little brother, why do you always hold the wooden stick in your hand?"

The young man didn't answer, and looked at Yi Chen with some vigilance, as if he was worried that he would snatch the stick.

"Goo......

The young man's stomach suddenly rang, Mu Shanqing and Yi Chen glanced at each other, and then as if they thought of something, they just wanted to open their mouths.

"Wait for me here. After Yi Chen left the next sentence, he quickly chased after the group of scoundrels who had left.

"Tsk, next time I must taste his cheap girl, that graceful figure, quite a lotus buttocks, but unfortunately I didn't meet it this time. ”

The leading scoundrel smacked his lips and his eyes lit up, as if his snow-white and upright figure was right in front of him.

"Everyone, if you want to leave like this after beating someone, don't you take me too seriously?"

Yi Chen put his hand on the man's shoulder and grabbed him firmly, the man broke free a few times but couldn't break free, and seven or eight people turned around and looked at the black-shirted man with ill will.

"What a green evil, Lao Tzu just gave you face, and it just so happens that Lao Tzu's hands and feet are also tired, and he doesn't want to continue to do it. I really thought that I was afraid that you wouldn't succeed, and I would treat myself as a hero with a broken sword in my hand, and I wouldn't pee to see what I looked like, wouldn't I be a little more handsome than Lao Tzu, and my fists were as big as Lao Tzu?"

Yi Chen's wrist flicked, and the scabbard directly shook out of the man's heart, directly knocking out the bloody smell of the leading man, and in an instant, he only saw his scabbard turn again.

The sound of "popping" continued, and there was a blood-red mark on the face of seven or eight splashers, and then a sheath smashed down on the top of his head, and the leading man fell to the ground in a daze, with blood flowing on his head and his eyes scattered.

Seeing this, the others spread their feet and ran, and directly threw down the leading scoundrel.

"Give you two choices, one is to break the fortune and avoid disasters, as for these two, it's very simple, of course you can't kill people on the street, but I think it's okay to beat you half to death. ”

"I'm counting to three!"

"Three!"

The man lying on the ground pretending to be dead wailed in his heart: "If you don't play cards according to the routine, how can you count three directly." ”

I saw that the man bounced up from the ground, knelt directly on the ground and hugged Yi Chen's legs and cried: "Hero, hero, I know that I am wrong, I will give money." As he spoke, he took off the money bag under his waist and handed it to Yi Chen.

This is the money he wants to debt these days, which is enough for dozens of taels of silver, which is already a year's and a half income for ordinary people.

Yi Chen took the silver and weighed it in his hand a few times, then squatted down and looked at the man, the man only felt a chill, for fear of being knocked again, and it was estimated that he would really see the king of Hades again.

"I ask you why you beat that teenager, and I want to hear the full cause and effect. ”

"Uh...... Here's how it happened......"

It turned out that the young man's family was originally a small family in Jinzhou City, his father was a carpenter, and his mother was a female celebrity for a large family, but a few years ago, for some reason, the men in the family were requisitioned to serve as the border army, and the conditions of the family fell all at once.

In the past two years, news has come from the border pass, saying that the boy's father died in the border pass, and the bones have not been brought back, and because he is a temporary recruit, he does not even have a pension.

For an ordinary family, it was like the sky was falling, and later there were rumors in the big family where the mother lived, saying that he was driven out by the master mother because he hooked up with the master of the family because of his beautiful appearance, which made it even worse, and even life became a problem.

In order to survive, I have to borrow money from others, and now I owe more and more money, plus the profits, I have already owed a huge amount of dozens of taels of silver, you must know that being a female celebrity in a big family for a year without eating or drinking is less than twenty taels of silver.

Today's show is that the man led a group of little brothers to collect debts, and by the way, he wanted to threaten the little lady and have a joy of fish and water. Who knew that he didn't see the kid's mother, but was scolded by the wooden stick boy.

After Yi Chen listened, he turned around and walked towards Mu Shanqing, and saw that there was another woman in a cloth dress talking to her, the cloth had been patched countless times, and it looked like it had been worn for some years, but the young man did not have these, and he had to sigh that his mother gave the best to the child.

The woman's face was a little yellow because of the hardships of life, and her hair was a little messy, but she was in her early thirties, judging from her facial features and figure, it would not be too much to say that she was good-looking.

Yi Chen said hello to Mu Shanqing and threw away the money bag in his hand.

"Nie Huang, how about my sister and big brother invite you to a big dinner today?"

The young man named Nie Huang looked at his mother, and the woman was a little flattered and said, "No need, I just went out of the city to pick some wild vegetables, and I will go back to make soup in a while, which is enough for me and the child, and I thank the two benefactors here." ”

"You're welcome, anyway, our money was also snatched from the scoundrel just now, don't feel distressed, it's the money of the wicked man, the little lady doesn't have to be in a hurry to refuse, look at you like this, it should have been a long time since you have a good meal, it just so happens that the two of us have just arrived, and please ask your sister-in-law to show us the way." Yi Chen said with a smile.

The woman's mouth opened slightly, as if she was a little surprised, and then looked at the young man's eyes flashing with something called longing, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "Okay, Engong, please come with me, I grew up in Jinzhou since I was a child, and I still know some affordable restaurants." ”

Half an hour later, there was such a scene.

In a restaurant somewhere in Jinzhou, four people gathered in a circle, and three adults watched a teenager gobbling up a roast chicken.

The little lady is a little restrained, or maybe because of her personality, she is only willing to eat in small bites.

Seeing this, the young man tore off a piece of chicken leg and brought it to the woman: "Mother, eat chicken legs." ”

Seeing this, the woman gently touched the young man's head and said, "Mother is not very hungry, you eat slowly, don't choke." Then the woman's nose was sore, and tears filled her eyes, but she didn't dare to fall.

"Let the two benevolent men laugh, this child has no father since he was a child, and life is not easy, so ......"

"It doesn't matter, we came to Jinzhou by the way, since we met it, it was fate, and when we saw the unevenness, we drew a sword to help, which is also what we should do as a chivalrous man walking the rivers and lakes. Mu Shanqing's hand quietly touched Yi Chen and said softly.

Yi Chen was eating silently, but his eyes never left the young man's body, and Mu Shanqing hurriedly nodded after speaking.

"Little brother, is there anything special about this wooden stick in your hand, why do you have to hold it between your legs when you eat?"

"That's right, that stick is the only thing left by his father, and since the death of his husband, he has taken this stick as a sustenance for missing his deceased husband. The little lady Sun Su hurriedly said.

After eating, the young man raised his head, wiped the grease on his body, held the wooden stick with both hands, and said firmly: "Since the day my father died, I have swung the stick three thousand times a day. My wish is to join the army, I want to be a general, I want to use this stick to kill reckless barbarians on the battlefield, I want to avenge my father!"

"Three thousand swings a day, and you were beaten so badly just now?" Yi Chen asked with some incomprehension.

"My mother won't let me do anything with anyone else, for fear that I will cause trouble......"

"And what if you get killed today?"

The young man was suddenly stunned, and Sun Su also looked guilty, as if he didn't know how to speak.

"Then teach you for my brother, and in the future, your stick will be used to beat those who are not long-sighted, those who bully you, and the wicked who should be beaten. Yi Chen patted the young man's shoulder and said in an educational tone.

The young man Nie looked at Yi Chen blankly, and then looked at the stick in his hand.

"Okay, if you don't make a decision, you can ask the stick!"

Yi Chen handed the money bag in his hand directly to Sun Xu and said: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, this is the money I just robbed of the wicked man, and there are dozens of taels after counting, just enough to solve your urgent need, anyway, it's not ours and I don't feel distressed, I also heard some rumors about my sister-in-law from him, but after a simple contact, I don't think the story is true." You keep this money, pay off the foreign debts you owe, and find a job to live well in the future. ”

Looking at the young man and woman who had left, the little lady and grandson took her son and kowtowed lightly to their backs with complicated eyes.
