Young Heroes Chapter 3 Stories in the City
Nothing was said all night.
Shen Xingliu's round eyes revealed a little bit of his heart. Maybe it's because I sleep too much during the day, or maybe I'm worried about the people in the city.
Perhaps only he knows what is on his mind.
In short, early the next morning, the three of them set off in a hurry.
Shen Xingliu finished settling the account at the counter, and said to the shopkeeper and Lao Qiao: "Thank you for taking care of the two of you, we are going to leave today, and we will definitely have a chance to see you again in the future." ”
Shopkeeper Tong exclaimed, "Are you going to leave today?" It's okay to stay a few more days, and there are a lot of specialties in our store! ”
"Shopkeeper Tong, we will come again in the future." Tang Xuanxuan said.
Shopkeeper Tong wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lao Qiao, and then said, "Okay, remember to come again." ”
At this time, Pang Junde came to report that the carriage had been set up and could leave at any time.
Shen Xingliu exchanged a few more words with the two of them, and then left.
Old Qiao asked tentatively in his heart: "Guest officer, where do you want to go in such a hurry?" ”
Shen Xingliu held the knife wrapped in the cloth strip in his hand, turned to leave, and was just about to go out of the gate and twisted his face and said, "Seven Stars Guancheng." ”
Immediately, the three of them got into the carriage, and Pang Junde sat in the carriage and whipped away.
"Hey, Old Joe, what did you say that short-haired boy was doing in the city?" Shopkeeper Tong looked at the carriage in the distance and asked suspiciously.
Old Qiao replied with a mysterious face: "Didn't you see that knife?" Although it is pestered to death, you heard its name last night. ”
Shopkeeper Tong pondered what he heard yesterday, and then looked surprised, blocked his mouth with a fan, and stammered: "You, you, you mean he is?" ”
Old Joe made a silent gesture.
Shopkeeper Tong nodded knowingly, and still asked puzzledly: "But he was ridiculed so much last night, why didn't he defend himself?" ”
Lao Qiao glanced at the gate he passed through, and said profoundly: "Maybe this proves why he is a hero, and we can only be ordinary people." ”
Shopkeeper Tong nodded, then thought of something, and laughed: "You? I don't know yet, you're not an ordinary person! ”
Lao Qiao showed a smile that only the two of them could understand, and looked at the door in a daze.
Shen Xingliu has already gone away, naturally he doesn't know these conversations, and even if he knows, he will only smile faintly, and now he only has the people in the city in his heart.
Qixing Guanchengchi, fifty miles away from the town, was nearly noon when the three of them arrived.
The autumn sun is warm on their bodies, but they don't have time to enjoy it.
In front of the city gate, there were no soldiers guarding it, and in the distance you could see the sky above the city, shrouded in a faint layer of smoke.
Other than that, it's no different from any other city.
"Brother Shen, the city has arrived." Pang Junde said to the carriage behind, and got out of the carriage and led him to the city.
Shen Xingliu and Tang Xuanxuan lifted the curtain of the carriage door and sat outside.
The carriage walked slowly down the road, and a miserable scene was imprinted.
In the city, the originally lively avenue is now empty, and occasionally people pass by, all of them are dressed in linen and filial piety, and they all show sadness.
The previously neat floor was covered with paper money and fly ash from combustion.
A few people passed by a coffin shop and saw a young woman, crying, wiping the remains of her old father lying on a bamboo mat with a towel.
Not long ago, she had been sold into slavery by a large family in the city.
Tang Xuanxuan couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, what kind of hell is this!
Shen Xingliu took her hand, and she leaned on the former's shoulder and wept silently.
"Get out, if you can't afford to see a doctor and can't catch medicine, just go home and wait for death, block your business and break your legs."
The carriage went straight all the way and made a turn.
A discordant, but commonplace voice in the city, suddenly came.
An eight-year-old girl, who was holding the leg of the fat boss of the pharmacy at this time, cried and shouted: "Boss, please, give me some medicine, my mother is dying of illness!" ”
The fat boss kicked the little girl away and patted her trouser leg, smacked the little girl, and said viciously: "Poor ghost, you have to die, don't die at the door of my store, it's really unlucky." ”
As he spoke, the fat boss took his foot and wanted to kick the little girl.
Tang Xuanxuan jumped out of the carriage and hit the fat boss with a knife in the eyebrows.
The fat boss reacted in time, leaning back, and the three pharmacy guys held him, but because the former was too heavy, he pressed the guys under him, and the latter wailed.
Tang Xuanxuan knocked down the fat boss and didn't care about them, squatted down to help the frightened little girl, and patted the dust on the girl's body.
"Kid, are you okay, are you hurt?" Tang Xuanxuan saw it, looked at her little girl blankly, and asked.
The girl woke up, pulled the corner of Tang Xuanxuan's clothes, and said hurriedly: "Sister, you go quickly." These pharmacy guys are vicious, you can't beat them! ”
Tang Xuanxuan saw that the little girl was not injured, touched her hair, and said, "Sister is not afraid of them, don't worry." What medicine do you want to buy? ”
"Hmph, want to go? It's late. The fat boss was helped up by the guys, looked at Tang Xuanxuan and said, "Little beauty, you beat me today, but you have to compensate me." ”
Tang Xuanxuan heard goosebumps all over her body, and scolded angrily: "You daydream, you don't look in the mirror, just like you fat pig?" ”
The fat boss shook his nose and said gloomily: "Toast and don't eat and drink, come on, teach the master a lesson for her." ”
"Yes!"
A pharmacy guy got the signal and punched Tang Xuanxuan's face.
Tang Xuanxuan didn't hide either, because she didn't believe that a mere guy could hurt her.
Just listen to the "click".
"Hey, it hurts me." The man only felt that his fist was about to be crushed, and he knelt down on one knee and shouted, "Uncle, spare your life!" ”
Shen Xingliu had long been paying attention to the situation here, and saw that someone dared to move Tang Xuanxuan.
He flew over and squeezed the man's fist with a slight force, and he felt that the man's fist had broken and broken.
"Oh, does it hurt? I'm really sorry, doesn't it hurt? Shen Xingliu grabbed his fist hand, and with a slight pressure on his wrist, the guy fell to his knees.
Shen Xingliu turned his head to the little girl and said kindly: "Little girl, don't be afraid, with my brother here, they don't dare to be presumptuous." What medicine do you want, tell this sister. ”
After speaking, he kicked the guy in the chest, and the guy was kicked in response, and his life and death were unknown.
Seeing that Shen Xingliu was so powerful, the girl immediately relieved her heart and took out the recipe she had finally found from her arms. The prescription is wrapped in a piece of flower cloth skin, which looks very precious.
Tang Xuanxuan took the prescription and saw that it was all ordinary medicinal materials, and the prescription was used to treat stomach ache and stop diarrhea. She nodded and gave the prescription to Shen Xingliu.
Then Shen Xingliu glanced at the fat boss of the pharmacy who was scared stupidly, and said lightly: "I'll just say it once, is there any medicine for the prescription?" ”
When the fat boss saw someone coming, he easily crushed the guy's fist, and his legs were like a sieve, and a smell faintly came from the crotch of his pants.
The fat boss took the prescription with trembling hands, nodded like a drum, and stammered: "Yes, yes, I'll get it for the uncle." ”
As he spoke, he gave a kick to the two guys who were paralyzed on the ground behind him, do you also want my tendons to break and fracture.
The two men hurriedly took the prescription and crawled through the medicine cabinet.
After a while, he grabbed a pound and handed it to Shen Xingliu, and he didn't look at it and threw it to Tang Xuanxuan, she only sniffed, and then nodded.
Shen Xingliu saw that there was no problem with the medicine, patted the fat boss on the shoulder and said, "Hey, I said, it's okay to make money, but don't be so fierce?" Didn't you see that the little girl was scared? Is it okay to apologize? ”
The fat boss was slapped by Shen Xingliu and immediately knelt on the ground.
hurriedly apologized to Tang Xuanxuan and the stunned girl.
Tang Xuanxuan didn't look at him either, and pulled the little girl into the carriage.
Shen Xingliu looked upset, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, how much is the medicine just now?" ”
The fat boss sat on the ground in fright, and retreated one after another, is this going to settle accounts?
"It's okay, it's all worthless medicinal herbs, no money." The fat boss shook his head and begged for mercy.
Shen Xingliu looked at it and said, "Forget it, one yard is one yard." I'm not a robbery, I'm reasonable. Don't know if a penny is enough? ”
The fat boss nodded again and again, watching Shen Xingliu drop a copper plate and walk away. There was a resentment in his eyes.
In the carriage, Tang Xuanxuan took off the leaves on the little girl's head.
She asked her softly, "Little sister, where is your home, let's send you home." ”
The girl hugged the medicine in her hand tightly and said timidly, "Sister, you won't sell me, will you?" ”
Tang Xuanxuan was stunned when she heard this, and then comforted her and said, "No, we are all good people, sister, she is a doctor." ”
"Doctor? Sister, can you save my mother. The girl said with some excitement.
"Well, of course you can, my sister's medical skills are very powerful." As she spoke, Tang Xuanxuan patted her chest and said.
"Thank you, thank you, sister!"
When the girl heard this, she knelt in the carriage with a thud, her eyes filled with tears.
Tang Xuanxuan hurriedly helped the little girl up, and learned where her home was through communication, Shen Xingliu and Pang Junde were sitting outside the carriage, and when they heard where the girl's home was, they raised their whips and drove the carriage to the north of the city.
The girl's name is Xiaolu, and her father died of illness in her early years, leaving her and her mother to live forever.
Recently, her mother was very seriously ill, and she had diarrhea and diarrhea, and she finally asked for a prescription from a charlatan.
Fortunately, the little girl was bumped into by their group, otherwise she would have been sold to the Qinglou.
