"That's your rule, what does it have to do with me?"

The old man laughed and said: "What the young man said is very right, it has nothing to do with you, I came to you to teach you how to be a person, mix in the stall, you won't be a person and will harm more people, are you right?" ”

"You taught me to be a man? Be a rooster and dog thief like you? ”

"Young man, every line has its own way of survival, I rooster and dog thief? So tell me, what is a righteous gentleman in your eyes? Do you count? ”

I sneered: "Everyone has their own way, this is good, it's just that people like you will be punished sooner or later, there are gods three feet above the ground, and getting the Tao for a while does not mean that you will always be at large, old man, I think you have an age, it won't be that you don't understand this truth, the more you live, the more confused you are, right?" ”

The old man was angry and patted the Taishi chair, and at this time, four peaked caps rushed out of the room and ran to me angrily.

"Come on, take him to the back hall for me!"

These four people stepped forward together, and surrounded me in front of me, front and back, left and right.

I gently nudged the two in front of me and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll go by myself." ”

The old man waved his hand, and the four of them stood aside obediently.

I said to them, "Lead the way!" ”

Two men walked up to me and took me to the back hall.

The two nervous ones in the back followed on both sides, one left and one right, as if they were afraid that I would run away.

I didn't want to run at all, and to be honest, I couldn't, and since I came, I went out to see how powerful this den of thieves really was.

Passing through the middle hall, there is a courtyard at the back, but the top of this courtyard is covered with a tarpaulin, and several fluorescent lamps of several hundred watts illuminate the courtyard as if it were day.

In the center of the courtyard, there are two rows of five or six knee-high wooden benches, and the gap between the stools is more than one meter, and the guillotine blades that are shining with cold light at intervals of more than 20 centimeters are tied to them, and the sharp blades are pointing upwards, which makes people shudder to see.

Under the two rows of stools were piles of foot-high firewood, which were now lit, and flames were running upwards.

A mountain of swords and a sea of fire?

This scene I have only seen in film and television dramas, but I didn't expect the real one to come to me.

The old man: "Young man, what about me, the most fair, since you don't want me to teach you to be a man, then I will retreat to the second, you just need to pass this sword fire array, from now on you take your Yangguan Road, I take my single-plank bridge, out of this door, let's say goodbye, don't know each other, can't pass, that's your life, I will bury you and send your parents to the end, how about it, my old man is benevolent and righteous, right?" ”

I looked at the swordsmanship array with green smoke and sneered: "If you say that you are benevolent and righteous, then the sky is black and the earth is white, I don't want your hypocrisy and hypocrisy, I can't get past your swords and fires today, I don't want to have anything to do with you, come on, what are the conditions, let's talk about it together!" ”

The old man exclaimed, "Well done! I just like young people with backbone! Children, I learn from this young man's spirit, today he can pass this formation, I will make him the second in command, one person under ten thousand people, and enjoy it from now on! ”

"Put away your fake mercy, come on, if you have any tricks, just use them!"

Old man: "Okay, since you are so anxious to seek death, I won't stop you, there are no other conditions, take off your clothes, go into battle barefoot, come down as long as you live, my door is open, if you want to stay, I have good wine, good food and good hospitality, and the second-in-command of my beggar gang is yours!" ”

I snorted, pushed away the cap that was close to my left and right, took off my shirt and trousers, took off my shoes and put them aside, looked at the burning crackling fire, and calmly walked to the right side of the sword fire.

I visually examined it, and the formation was fifteen meters long, and it took me about fifteen seconds to pass as fast as I could, and although there were forty or fifty guillotines, I tried to make my steps as big as I could, and I could step on fifteen to twenty of them, but the problem was that I was fast enough not to miss the slightest mistake, and if I missed or fell, I would be doomed.

I smiled bitterly, today is the second day of my arrival in Shanghai, but I didn't expect to encounter the biggest catastrophe in my life, or a catastrophe of life and death.

I looked around, there were twenty or thirty peaked caps standing in the courtyard, even if I could order the kung fu of a three-legged cat, I couldn't escape, rather than being abused by them, it was better to fight, or that sentence, life and death were fate.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and a dragonfly stood on the stool in front of me, and the old man was stunned for a moment, he seemed to see that I was a practitioner, and looked at me a little surprised.

I mentioned the qi of the dantian, bent down slightly, silently recited one, two, three, in my heart, learned what I saw in the movie, and strode towards the guillotine with a cold light.

Although I lifted my breath and exerted my internal strength, I still felt the heat under my feet, but fortunately I ran fast enough that they barely saw how I had passed, and I was already firmly on the other side of the sword fire array.

I endured the stinging pain from the soles of my feet, tried my best to keep my body upright, walked to the clothes step by step, and put them on my body one by one, I bent down and picked up the socks and put them in my trouser pocket, calmly put on my shoes, and then turned to look at the old man, and said coldly: "In the future, I still have to take care of the matter of chickens and dogs and thieves, but I will not give a chance to escape, and send the official to justice!" ”

Old man: "Young man, why don't you sit down and talk?" ”

"No need, your threshold is too high, I can't afford it, keep your good cigarettes and wine, and enjoy it slowly, just take a small sip when you smoke, be careful of choking to death by the smoke!"

The old man rolled his eyes angrily and said viciously: "Send off!" ”

The caps stood in two rows, and I dusted myself off and walked calmly through the back door and out of the hall.

The vicious dog in the courtyard seemed to smell the murderous aura on my body, and was stunned for nothing, as if it was frozen and watched me leave.

After walking a long way out of the yard, I found a step to sit down, to be honest, the piercing pain in the soles of my feet had already made it difficult for me to walk, and I had to endure it to get out of this far.

At that time, it was not the era when the streets were full of pharmacies, and I looked up for a long time, but I didn't see any stores related to medicine, nor did I see any places like the health room.

At this time, an aunt walked past me, and I endured severe pain and said, "Auntie, is there a pharmacy around here?" ”

My aunt looked at me, probably judging what had happened to me, and asked, "What's wrong, young man, what's uncomfortable?" ”

"I have a burn on my foot and can't walk, so I want to buy some burn medicine."

The aunt said anxiously: "Why are your feet burned?" Does it matter? ”

I said, "It doesn't matter, just put on some ointment, just tell me where there is a pharmacy." ”

My aunt bent down and pulled me up from my trouser leg to see my feet.

I hurriedly hugged her and said, "It's not a big deal, just really apply some ointment." ”

My aunt had no choice but to give up and said to me in embarrassment: "It's nine o'clock, and there is a pharmacy that is open, so let's wait here, I'll go to the house to find out if there is any ointment, if not, I'll ask the neighbors." ”

I hurriedly said, "Thank you so much, Auntie, it doesn't matter if you can't find it, I'll be fine for a while." ”

"You kid, don't move, my house is very close, you are waiting here."

I nodded gratefully to my aunt, and when I met such a nice person, my pain seemed to be less.

This street is not downtown, there are not many pedestrians on the street anymore, and occasionally a car comes by, with the lights on, flashing by.

It's nine o'clock, I don't know what Lian Xin is doing now, we have made an appointment to go to the interview tomorrow, I don't know if the soles of my feet are strong, can I stick to it.

After about ten minutes, the aunt hurried over, followed by a man of her age.

My aunt walked up to me and said, "Young man, I found the scald medicine, and I was afraid that you would hurt badly, so I called my old man over and asked him to see if he needed to go to the hospital to deal with it. ”

I looked at the couple with emotion, and hurriedly said: "No need uncle and aunt, you can just apply it to myself, it's not a big deal, really, apply some medicine and slow down for a while." ”

My uncle looked at me hesitantly and said, "Are you really okay?" ”

The aunt said anxiously: "You dead old man, the child said it was okay, it was fine, hurry up and pull off his shoes and take a look!" ”

My uncle obediently crouched down, lifted my left leg with both hands, and took off my shoes.

In the dim light, my aunt saw the soles of my bloody feet, took two steps back, and almost fell to the ground.

She sighed and said, "Child, why are you so badly injured?" ”

I smiled and said, "Auntie is fine, I stepped on something hot while working, just apply some medicine." ”

"No, we'll take you to the hospital!"

My uncle helped me put on my shoes and stood up to get ready to call a taxi.

I hurriedly said: "I really don't need to, you give me the medicine, I'll just get it myself, we country children are not so expensive, real uncles and aunts, don't have to go to the hospital." ”

It may be that the car is really difficult to beat, and the aunt said, "Can you still go?" Why don't you go to my house and ask your uncle to clean and disinfect you before applying medicine? ”

I couldn't resist them, so I had to say, "I'll try, but it's too much trouble for you two elders." ”
