On the eighth day of October, cold dew.

The severe cold in the north always comes earlier than in the south, Taichuan Town, a small town not far from Xiangyang, at this time the people in the town have already changed into bloated cotton jackets, and Xiangyang City is in front of them, this town has not been invaded by war at the moment.

On the street, you can also see a large number of children chasing and playing on the side of the street, and on the side are the parents who set up stalls to make a living.

Qualified families have begun to marinate bacon ham and other dry goods, take the pig's hind leg and sprinkle it with coarse salt to spread evenly, and then dry it on the beam to wait for air drying, this step will take at least dozens of days, and the day of the food will be just the New Year.

That will be a family to share and eat, sit around the house and enjoy themselves, the flavor of this era is not comparable to later generations.

"Did you hear that the beggar gang has caught the rampant murderer?"

Intoxicated building, a group of knife-wielding high-rollers sat around the square table and whispered, the weather has not been affected by global warming, in October, it is already a little cold, the black-faced man who spoke may not be a hardy person, while exhaling white air, while rubbing his hands vigorously.

"Why haven't you heard about it, but the beggars helped me spread it, and now this area has already spread the word, who doesn't know?"

A young man with a pockmarked face quickly picked up a piece of white chopped chicken on the table, stretched it out into the boiling water, soaked it, then lit the dipping sauce and put it in his mouth, chewed two bites, and his face was full of satisfaction.

Hearing this, the black-faced man first looked at the diners around him, and then his eyes lit up and whispered: "No, I heard that the murderer is terrible, what is his name, tsk..... Look at my memory, I can't remember clearly, in short, in order to catch him, the beggar gang suffered heavy losses, and my distant cousin was nearby that day, and I heard what he said, the beggar gang was a cart of dead people transported out. ”

"The white cloth outside the door of the beggar gang is extremely miserable, not to mention that there are more than 100 people, ouch, that fierce one."

"So powerful?!"

A young man who was a little younger on the side was a little surprised when he heard this, he also heard about it, but he didn't know it well, because the beggar gang only revealed the news that the murderer had been caught, but did not announce the process of arresting people, let alone the list of casualties.

These were all learned by people passing by that day, but in fact, even the name of the murderer and the beggar gang were not announced, and everything was mysterious.

The black-faced young man said that he couldn't remember the name of the murderer, but in fact he was just bragging, and no one could know about it except for the beggars.

"Isn't it amazing! I've heard that the current gang leader of the Beggar Gang, Gang Leader Lu, and the three elders including the previous Huang Gang Leader rounded up together, plus several masters such as the beloved apprentice Wu Santong and the chief helmsman of the Master of the First Lamp besieged together, but guess what, the Elder Ban Yuanju was still seriously injured by the murderer on the spot, and finally ended up dying. ”

In addition to the name of the murderer, the black-faced young man seemed to know a lot, and under his emotional recounting, he immediately attracted many diners around him, who picked up the food on the table and squeezed it over, and asked with interest: "Brother Tai, you know a lot, what about the back?" What's going on in the back? ”

Looking at the gradually increasing crowd of onlookers, a trace of smugness flashed on the face of the black-faced young man, and he quickly shook it twice and pretended to be profound: "Later, of course, it was the beggar gang Dinghaishen Needle Hong Lao Gang leader who personally took this person." ”

"Hiss ....."

Even the legendary Hong Qigong has come to an end, this news is not unimportant, everyone heard it in amazement, and the discussion here at this time also attracted the attention of the diners at the most corner table.

But seeing that there was only one person at the table, he was eating alone with his back to everyone, and there were more than a dozen empty plates stacked on the table, which showed that the amount of food this person had was really rare.

This person is born with a simple head, his appearance is round and full, a fat face looks very blessed, but he is wearing a sweatshirt on a cold day, which is incompatible with the clothes of the people around him, which is nothing, and the more important thing is that the undershirt placket is also wide open to reveal his round and fluffy belly.

I don't know how it was cold, so that the people around him couldn't help but look at him a few more times, but looking at his appetite, they all thought that he was a laborer working on the dock, this kind of hard work really can't be reasonable, and it's not that he is bare-chested on a cold day, so he didn't pay much attention.

I saw that this person's hair was half black and half white, and there was a swarthy kitchen knife pinned to his waist.

"Little brother, what's that person's name?"

The fat man's voice was very penetrating, and it was transmitted to the pockmarked face table, although the pockmarked face table was full of people at the moment, but without exception, they could hear it clearly, and they all looked at the opposite corner.

I saw a fat man turning his head and looking at it, with a smile on his face, a harmless appearance of humans and animals.

The black-faced man was stunned when he heard this, didn't he say he had forgotten, why did he still ask, but looking at the dry eyes around him, he pretended to shake his head: "I can't remember this person's name......"

"That's it.... So, how old is he? What does it look like? Is it handsome or ugly? ”

The fat man was interested, and he didn't feel nervous when he heard the words, and continued to ask.

This can make the black-faced man a little annoyed, asking what he doesn't know, facing the fat man's 'aggressive' gaze, the black-faced man immediately twisted his head and snorted: "I don't know!" However, it may not be very old. ”

"Hehehe, then I know, thank you, your table is mine."

After hearing this, the fat man immediately threw the half-gnawed goose leg in his hand onto the table, then wiped his greasy hand on his shirt and got up and walked out, and when he passed the counter, he threw a few ingots of silver, and said: "Shopkeeper, that brother should eat, count as so." ”

After speaking, he turned his head and grinned at the black-faced young man with a dull face, and then strode towards the door.

Seeing this, the black-faced young man seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly got up and called the fat man: "Brother Tai! I remembered, my distant cousin said, that person is not very old, but I don't know how old he is, recently, the Taoist of the Quanzhen Sect will come to the beggar gang to try the murderer together, and the final result will be made public by the beggar gang, if you want to know more, you can go to the beggar gang to try your luck at the general altar these days, but now they refuse outsiders. ”

Perhaps because he felt that his words were not worth the cost of the meal, the black-faced young man said everything he knew.

"People aren't dead, hey, that's going to be easy......"

muttered to himself without a head or end, and the figure of the fat man disappeared by the door, leaving only a group of melon-eating people staring at each other with big eyes and unknown reasons.

.......................

Somewhere on the top of the mountains, the highest peak falls.

A man in black sat on his knees on the edge of the cliff holding a pot to drink, but saw the shadows of the trees under the peak, the light and shadow were mottled, and the snowflakes were fluttering, giving the mountain peak an intoxicating white.

At this time, there was a fluttering sound in the woods, and an inconspicuous gray pigeon suddenly flew up to the mountain forest, and the man in black who was drinking leisurely leaned forward with his left hand when he heard the sound, and the gray pigeon immediately fluttered its wings and landed on the man's hand.

Removing the note tied to the pigeon's foot, the man spread it out with one hand, but saw a line of big characters jumping on it: "Lao Zhang has an accident, the beggar gang helmsman." ”

The man in black was silent for a while, and then suddenly exuded an earth-shattering aura from his body, and the terrifying wave of qi shook away the snowflakes on his body, and the pigeon in his hand was so startled that he quickly jumped away and fled down the mountain.

A hideous green tendon quickly climbed up to the man's temple, and the man's fingers pinched, and the note instantly burst into flames, two fingers and one point, and the burned paper immediately drifted with the wind and finally tended to nothingness.

Looking at the mountains at the foot of the mountain with deep eyes, the man fell down the mountain with a tie........
