After entering the Central Plains, because more and more mountains appeared, although it was winter, it was much warmer than the original, and it was no longer as windy as on the grassland. The rise in temperature and the lack of wind caused the relatively humid air to form a thin layer of frost on the flowers and trees of the surrounding hills, which made it look different.

At this time, it is very pleasant to ride a horse and walk slowly on the mountain road.

But Shao Xi didn't feel anything about it, because he was a northerner before he crossed over, and he had seen a lot of these things. He looked at the intoxicated look of Lao Wu on the side, and thought in his heart that this old guy was old and still so ignorant. Rime is just that, what's so new?

"Old Wu, can you go faster? We are grinding like this, which year and month can we get to Daliang City? Shao Xi said impatiently.

Lao Wu drank a little wine unhurriedly, and replied lazily: "Urge, urge, you have been urging for the past two days, are you in a hurry to get married?" I don't know how to appreciate such a beautiful scenery. ”

"The two of us are obviously very good, we don't need to ride a horse at all, and riding it is not as fast as I can run on my own, which is really redundant."

The white horse under Shao Xi's ass sneezed and shook his head vigorously, as if to say, "Who do you look down on?" ”

"Isn't it tiring? If you want to ride it slowly, let it ride you. ”

Shao Xi was choked back by Lao Wu's words, and muttered to himself, "Such a lack of moral idea, you can think of it." ”

Lao Wu suddenly said: "Young Master, you performed well in the battle with the leader of the horse bandits a few days ago, whether it was the timing of the sword or the control of the strength, it was just right. To be honest, I didn't expect such results after guiding you for ten years, and I hope that the guidance of the masters in the future will allow you to go further. ”

"You'd better not praise me, I'm afraid I'll float."

"That's right, when you cultivate to the realm of being able to float, you will become."

Shao Xi was speechless for a while, this is obviously not the same thing at all, right?

While the two were walking and chatting like this, it began to snow, and it was not small. It didn't take long for a thick layer to fall on both the man and the horse.

"I just went down yesterday, and I went down again today, it's really annoying. During the day, the road is muddy and cane (northern dialect: muddy), and at night it freezes into ice, and it is impossible to walk at all. Shao Xi chirped crookedly.

Lao Wu was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery at this time, and kept muttering, "Where is the inn?" Where is the inn? I can't sleep on the ground anymore, my old waist can't carry it. ”

As the two of them hurried forward, they suddenly saw a few people falling on the side of the road not far ahead, and there was also the cry of a child, and there seemed to be a faint sound of fighting.

Shao Xi turned his head and glanced at Lao Wu, who shook his head lightly and signaled to be less nosy. Walking on the rivers and lakes, the trouble is less.

When the two approached, they saw that the people who fell to the ground were two women and a man, and they should be considered a well-off family based on their clothes. One of the two women looked to be quite young, about fifty years old; while the other looked about thirty years old; The man was probably in his thirties. There was also a little girl of five or six years old kneeling on the ground next to them, crying and shaking their bodies one by one, and kept shouting "Dad!" Mother! Grandmother! Wake up, all of you! Wake up, all of you! What's wrong with you guys! ”

Shao Xi turned his head to look at Lao Wu again, and Lao Wu raised his chin forward, motioning for him to look ahead.

I saw that there were five or six more people lying on the ground not far ahead, looking like bandits in the vicinity, and there were various weapons scattered around the corpses. A tall, lanky man in a tunic and a hat was rummaging for something on them.

Hearing the sound of someone coming, the man straightened up, pulled up an iron sword stuck in the ground, and looked at Shao Xi and Lao Wu.

The iron sword was worn and rusty, and it hadn't been worn for a long time, and it didn't have a serious hilt, but it was wrapped with a strip of cloth at the hilt. Carried in the man's hand, it didn't look like a sword at all, but like a rusty iron bar.

Shao Xi took a closer look at this man, he was less than thirty, his appearance was very ordinary, and you couldn't find a word to describe him. In addition to the broken sword in his hand, the clothes on his body and the hat on his head are also very shabby, I don't know how long he has been using it?

"You killed it?" Shao Xi pointed to a few people dressed as bandits who fell on the road.

The man didn't reply, just nodded.

"You killed you too?" Shao Xi pointed to the two women and a man who fell on the side of the road.

The man still didn't reply, but shook his head.

"That's what they killed?" Shao Xi pointed at the few people who had fallen on the road again.

The man still didn't speak, but only nodded.

asked three sentences without speaking, which made Shao Xi a little angry. I asked angrily, "Are you dumb?" ”

The man still didn't speak, but only shook his head.

"It's not that you are dumb and you don't speak, that is, there is a ghost in your heart. If you don't make things clear today, you won't be able to go anywhere. With that, Shao Xi jumped off the horse.

The man saw Shao Xi get off his horse and walk towards him, raised the iron sword in his hand forward, pointed the tip of the sword at Shao Xi, and signaled him not to move forward.

Shao Xi also came to the axis, the more you don't let me move forward, the more I have to move forward, so I walked straight towards the man. Seeing that Shao Xi would not stop, the man began to retreat until his feet touched the corpse on the ground.

Suddenly, the man sank the sword in his hand to the lower left, and then swung it with his backhand to the upper right. A looming transparent sword qi flew towards Shao Xi with the tip of the sword, the speed was very fast, and the qi seemed to be very strong.

"Three products! Peak! Shao Xi quickly judged the strength of the opponent.

Shao Xi did not take out the sword, but urged the vitality of the sea of qi to be released outside the body to form a solid qi shield, and he planned to take this blow hard.

Bang......

The opponent's sword qi disappeared instantly when it hit Shao Xi's qi shield, and the qi shield had also been broken by the qi strength, and this blow failed.

At the moment when the man was stunned for a moment, Shao Xi quickly activated his body technique and rushed to the man at a very fast speed, the faces of the two people were almost together, and they stared at each other with big eyes. The man was a little dumbfounded, what the hell is this? It was put on his face all of a sudden, and he had a bad smile on his face.

Shao Xi pointed to the corpses of the thieves at the feet of the two and asked, "Then why did you kill them?" ”

The man finally spoke, "The wicked should be killed." If you have money, you can use it for food. ”

"Are you here to punish the wicked? Or is it to rob them of their money? ”

"Both."

"You can punish the wicked, why can't you save that family?"

"Don't expect others to protect what you can't protect."

"What kind of chivalrous man are you?"

"Neither was I."

"If it's just to kill people and steal goods, what's the difference between you and these bandits?"

"Yes, I don't kill them." As he spoke, the man looked at the family who had fallen on the side of the road.

Shao Xi was not happy when he heard this, "So you watched the bandits kill this family and rob the property, and you killed the bandits and took the property for yourself?" ”

"Yes."

"Damn, then you're black and black! What else is there to punish the wicked? ”

"Aren't they wicked?" This man actually knows how to ask rhetorical questions!

"They are wicked, but who are you?"

"Punish the wicked."

"Oh? Since you are also wicked, who will punish you? ”

"Sooner or later, there will be someone."

"If you don't save you when you see death, is there any difference between killing people?"

"Yes, they didn't die at my hand."

Shao Xi was completely overwhelmed by this buddy. He doesn't kill ordinary people, but when he sees thieves robbing and killing ordinary people, he doesn't save them, he kills the thieves again, and robs the property that the thieves snatched from ordinary people before. Is this also called punishing the wicked? What kind of logic is he?

"What's your name?"

"Nope."

"Nameless?"

The man probably thought Shao Xi was a little verbose, so he ignored him at the moment, thrust the broken iron sword into the ground again, and turned around to continue to rummage through the belongings of those bandits.

Shao Xi felt like he had punched himself on the slimy glue, and he didn't do anything to the other party, and he made himself quite uncomfortable.

"Actually, he's not wrong."

At this time, Lao Wu's voice came from behind him, and there was a slight emotion in his tone.

"Oh? Walking the rivers and lakes, shouldn't you be chivalrous and righteous? Do you want to help the weak? Shao Xi was surprised that Lao Wu would say this.

"That's just wishful thinking on the part of some people. The real rivers and lakes are life and death, the weak eat the strong, today you can kill others, tomorrow others can kill you. There are not only happy grievances in the rivers and lakes, but also many dirty things that you can't see. He's still good, but despite this, he still sticks to the bottom line of not hurting ordinary people, so he didn't do anything wrong. We should also be nosy, let's go! ”

Shao Xi was speechless for a while when Lao Wu said it. Indeed, in his mind, the rivers and lakes have life and death, bloody wind and rain, but there are also happy enmities and hatreds, and chivalrous deeds. And now Lao Wu told him that there are still many dirty things in the rivers and lakes that he can't see, and there are many things that are more cruel than he imagined. The rivers and lakes are not as simple and beautiful as imagined.

Seeing that the man had looted all the belongings of the bandit, he made a cloth bag and put it on the iron sword, carried it on his shoulder, and turned around to leave. Shao Xi opened his mouth and stopped him.

"No name! Are you going to leave her here alone? After all, you're taking other people's possessions. Shao Xi pointed to the little girl who was still crying on the side of the road and asked.

"It's her life." The man threw down the words and turned away.

At the moment of turning around, Shao Xi saw that a trace of compassion and desolation seemed to flash in the man's eyes.

Perhaps, he was also the bereaved child on the side of the road.

Shao Xi turned to Lao Wu and asked, "What now?" We can't just leave this kid here. ”

Lao Wu shook his head helplessly and said: "You will encounter a lot of this kind of thing in the future, if you take care of it every time, can you manage it?" ”

"At least for the first time, I can't sit idly by." After speaking, Shao Xi walked towards the little girl.

The little girl should have been crying for a long time and was tired of crying. At this time, he was kneeling on the ground and sobbing non-stop.

Shao Xi walked over and touched her head. Although she knew that it was a little cruel, she still told her the fact that she had lost her parents, and the little girl cried for a while before stopping.

"How old is the little girl? What is your name? Shao Xi asked softly.

"Six-year-old, called Ah Zi."

Shao Xi sat on the ground as if he was frightened.

"Ah Zi? "Dragon Babu"? ”

If it's really that "Ah Zi", I can only say congratulations on "winning".
