Chapter 14: The Domineering Little Girl
On this day, the boy disappeared as he ran, and his father waited for a while without seeing his son, and stood up anxiously and shouted the child's name: "Ergou, Ergou, come back quickly." ”
There was no response.
Gu Shengchao's hearing was keen, he faintly heard the cry of a child in the middle cabin, and reminded: "Did your child run to the middle cabin to play?" ”
"No, no, my child is very obedient." He said that he still walked upstairs carefully.
Gu Shengchao followed, and as soon as he came to the middle cabin, he heard a woman scolding: "You little brat, dare to steal my bracelet, say, where are you hiding?" ”
"I didn't, I didn't, I just came up." The second dog whined and cried, just wiping his tears.
"Smack, smack." A crisp voice came, and Ergou received two slaps in the face.
"You, how do you hit someone?" The father of the second dog protected his son and accused.
"It's him who beats him, who told him not to study well, he has to be a thief and steal things." Gu Shengchao looked over, and it was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who spoke.
The little girl wore a white dress, and her eyes were like apricots, but she looked a little hideous because of her anger. She seemed to be used to being domineering, staring at her eyes and scolding loudly, extremely rampant.
"You're talking nonsense, my son won't steal." The father of the second dog defended.
The little girl wrinkled her eyebrows and said angrily: "Ridiculous, will a thief say that he is a thief?" I see that you are an accomplice, hand over my bracelet! ”
"Let's go, let's not meet her like her." The father of the second dog glared at the little girl, pulled the child and was about to leave.
"If you want to run, there's no way." The little girl didn't plan to let them go, she stretched out her foot, and her seemingly weak little hand pulled the sleeve of the second dog's father, and the second dog's father involuntarily planted a heel forward and fell on his back. Fortunately, he let go in time and did not harm the child.
Gu Shengchao saw it clearly, and the little girl inadvertently revealed her kung fu, which was far comparable to others, and her true qi fluctuated, obviously a practitioner.
Ergou wanted to support his father, but was tightly held by the little girl's right hand: "If you want to run, no way, hand over my bracelet quickly, otherwise you will be put in prison and wait." ”
"We don't, we're all good people." Ergou was frightened and cried.
Gu Shengchao couldn't stand it, and stepped forward and shouted angrily: "Let go of the child!" ”
"Presumptuous!" The little girl glanced at Gu Shengchao coldly, and saw that he was just a peasant man dressed up, so she slapped Gu Shengchao's face with her left hand.
Gu Shengchao grabbed the little girl's wrist, his fingers clenched hard, the little girl let go of the second dog with a painful "oops", and she kicked Gu Shengchao's ribs sideways. Gu Shengchao didn't dodge, but just strengthened his hands, his internal strength is now stronger, and the little girl's wrist pain is unbearable, and cold sweat is pouring out, and she can't use any tricks anymore.
"This father and son have no grievances with you, why should you wronged them." Gu Shengchao reprimanded.
The little girl was silent, and the three family-like people with big knives in their hands had already surrounded Gu Shengchao. An elderly man paced over and threatened with a gloomy face: "Let my girl go, or I will chop you up and throw you into the river." ”
Gu Shengchao didn't feel any signs of true qi fluctuations from the elder, this person should have no martial arts, just relying on the power of many foxes and fake tigers. Gu Shengchao was also strange, he didn't know when he could feel the subtle fluctuations in the true qi and breath of the people around him.
"You keep saying that you lost the bracelet, didn't it mean that you accidentally fell to the ground?" Gu Shengchao was most unaccustomed to such a bully, he reminded. His eyes were sharp, and as he spoke, he had already noticed something under the feet of a blue-robed man in the distance. A normal person stands, his feet and legs are evenly stressed, only this person leans forward, and his center of gravity is all pressed on that foot, and the people watching the excitement around him inadvertently bump into him, and he resolutely does not retreat or take half a step forward to dodge, there is definitely a problem.
The elder was disdainful: "You don't want to talk nonsense, how can we let you be judged by a countryman." He snorted coldly and said arrogantly: "We originally wanted a first-class private room, but it happened that there was no room and we were in a hurry, so we reluctantly rested here, otherwise how could you wait for someone to see us." ”
Gu Shengchao ignored him, paid attention to the man in the green robe, and said loudly: "Uncles, aunts, eldest brothers, and eldest sisters, everyone raise their feet to see if they have stepped on something inadvertently, we are all enthusiastic people, don't let good people be wronged." ”
The blue-robed man squatted down and wanted to take something from the soles of his boots, but when he looked up, he saw Gu Shengchao staring at this side, and the people around him began to raise their feet to prove their innocence. Seeing that there was no chance, the man in the green robe had to move his foot as if surprised: "What is this, something rolled under my feet." ”
Someone ran over to pick it up and handed it back to the elder, and the little girl said happily, "It's mine, it's my lost bracelet." She struggled, trying to break free from the ancient sage's control.
At this time, five or six people ran down the stairs, all dressed as guys on the boat, and the first one crossed his waist and said: "Put down the knife for me, what's the matter, who dares to make trouble on our ship?" ”
Gu Shengchao shook off the little girl's wrist and said to the visitor: "A misunderstanding has been resolved, and I bother you." ”
The elder instructed his subordinates to put away the big knife, and also quipped: "A few little brothers have worked hard, how about coming over for a cup of tea, we all misunderstood and let you bother." ”
"That's good, let's be honest on our ship." The leader glanced at the group, raised his eyebrows in a warning manner, and led the others away.
The little girl glared at Gu Shengchao contemptuously and said, "Hillbilly, I will never spare you in the future." ”
The elder glanced at him and said coldly: "Spare your dog's life on the boat first, and if it falls into our hands in the future, it will definitely make your life worse than death." ”
The big boat traveled for two more days and stopped at the pier, the father and son of the two dogs said goodbye to Gu Shengchao, Gu Shengchao saw that they were poor, so he gave them the remaining silver, the father of the two dogs at first refused, and then saw that Gu Shengchao was sincere to them, so he happily accepted it and led the two dogs off the boat.
Gu Shengchao was a good person and free and easy, but then he cut off food, he endured it for a day, and finally couldn't hold back his hunger, and early in the morning he saw the big boat passing through a narrow river, not far from the shore, he came to the side of the boat and jumped down, and jumped steadily onto the river bank. The guy on the boat exclaimed, this is not a dock, and the big ship is heading downstream.
Walking along the zigzag path of the field, Gu Shengchao came to a town. At this time, there is a constant stream of pedestrians rushing to the market in the morning, and the town looks very prosperous. Gu Shengchao walked past the stalls selling breakfast in the bazaar, and the smell aroused his appetite, but he was penniless, and his stomach was even more hungry. He passed by a wonton stall, and the tantalizing aroma made him swallow continuously. The wonton stall was doing a brisk business, and the few seats were almost full, and one of them caught his attention.
Gu Shengchao cultivated his magic skills in Mengyou Mountain Villa, and he found that he could distinguish the fluctuations of the aura of everyone around him, and the aura of ordinary people could not be restrained, and only those who had practiced kung fu could control their breath. The stronger the internal force, the weaker the breath is and is not easy to detect.
At the moment, a gray-robed man in the wonton stall made him look sideways, this person looked inconspicuous, buried in eating wontons, but his breath was constricted freely, if he didn't pay attention, he wouldn't notice the existence of this person at all.
Gu Shengchao was looking at the man, but unexpectedly, the man raised his head suddenly and looked at Gu Shengchao. Gu Shengchao hurriedly turned his head and left as if he was inadvertent.
"Gui, when did you come here too?" Gu Shengchao heard someone running behind him, he looked around, and no one stopped to watch.
Someone gently patted Gu Shengchao on the shoulder, "Agui, you came by coincidence!" ”
Gu Shengchao turned around, and it was the gray-robed man in front of him. Gu Shengchao said in a low voice: "Big brother, you recognize the wrong person!" ”
The gray-robed man was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Aren't you Agui, you really look alike." ”
"You recognized the wrong person, my name is not Gui." Gu Shengchao was about to leave, but the gray-robed man grabbed his sleeve and said: "Little brother stays, meeting is fate, I have prepared wine and food over there and wait for others to come, how about you come over and have a drink with me?" ”
"This ......" Gu Shengchao hesitated for a moment, his stomach was empty, and he said embarrassedly: "It's so abrupt, I'm afraid it's disturbing!" ”
The gray-robed man waved his hand and said: "It's not abrupt, it's me who disturbed the little brother's Yaxing, I love to make friends, and the person who meets me doesn't come to commit alcohol addiction, and I hope to be fulfilled without accompaniment." ”
Gu Shengchao said politely: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." He didn't dare to be humble, lest his stomach growl uncontrollably, and his saliva was about to flow uncontrollably.
The two of them sat down, and the guy brought Gu Shengchao steaming wontons, cut two plates of good beef, brought the wine jar over, and poured wine into the bowls for the two of them.
"The small booth has few people, and I hope you forgive me for not taking care of it." The guy laughed with him, for fear of snubbing the two. It is also rare for a small stall to meet someone with such a generous hand.
"It's okay, you can get busy!" The gray-robed man didn't mind.
The guy left happily and greeted the other guests.
"Where are you going, little brother?" The gray-robed man picked up the wine bowl and said.
Gu Shengchao hurriedly picked up the wine bowl: "Little brother local, just returned by boat." He touched the bowl with the gray-robed man, and the two of them drank it all.
The gray-robed man poured the wine again, picked up the wontons with chopsticks and said, "This small shop looks simple, but it tastes good, eat more." ”
Gu Shengchao was really hungry, and he was afraid that the other party would see through it, so he pretended to eat it gently, even so, half a bowl of wontons was quickly eaten.
The gray-robed man was not in a hurry, and when Gu Shengchao was full, he picked up the wine bowl, and the two of them drank while sandwiching beef as a side dish. Gu Shengchao has walked the rivers and lakes since he was a child, he understands that the rivers and lakes are sinister, and the gray-robed man obviously wants to set out his basic situation, but except for his name, nothing else has been leaked. Similarly, Gu Shengchao didn't know anything except that the other party's name was Baili Huan.
The two were full of food and drink, and then they separated. Baili Huan walked towards the dock outside the town, and Gu Shengchao walked towards the town and stepped into the unknown world.
