Chapter 18: The Village's Anomaly
Luoluo Village lives up to its name, and it is indeed down.
The village is also down, and the people are also down.
The whole village is almost full of thatched houses, not to mention decent brick houses, and there are not even a few thatched houses that are not dilapidated.
There are not many villagers in the village, and occasionally a few people are idle, hiding in the shade to rest.
No one is working, in stark contrast to the thriving water peak bazaar, the people who work hard.
Whenever the villagers saw Bai Xiuping, they immediately knelt down and lay on the ground and didn't dare to look at Bai Xiuping.
Gongsun Fu followed behind Bai Xiuping, patrolling the village, sweating profusely and couldn't help but complain: "Young Sect Master, do we still want to continue to hang out?" The weather is so hot, let's go directly to Zhuang Fangliang. ”
Bai Xiuping looked around and said, "Don't you feel something abnormal?" ”
"Well, not at all, did you find anything?"
Gongsun Fu shook his head and replied very directly.
Bai Xiuping didn't expect Gongsun Fu to find anything, pointed to the nearby houses and said, "Compared to the number of houses, the number of people is too small. ”
That's true, Gongsun Fu looked around, but he didn't feel anything wrong: "This is Luoluo Village, and it's normal for the population to be relatively small, so it's not surprising that anyone has disappeared." ”
The owner of one of the houses is gone, gone, and maybe no one notices.
Everyone in Luoluo Village can't even guarantee their own lives, so how can they have the energy to take care of other people's affairs.
Bai Xiuping stopped, looked at the few people who were resting in front of him and said, "Then why are most of the people we see here young people?" ”
If it is a remote village with no one to farm, there are usually only some old and weak women and children, but the situation in the down-to-earth village is the opposite.
Gongsun Fu scratched his head and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the young man?" The village is a place where all kinds of people live. ”
"And what do you think of the weather today?"
Bai Xiuping asked, pointing to the scorching sun in the sky.
The degree of sun exposure made Gongsun Fu unable to look up directly, and said very depressedly: "It's sunny, but it's also very hot." ”
The summer has passed, the summer heat is coming, and the weather is naturally extremely hot.
"Really, aren't you even happy with the weather now, you don't want to lose your temper just because it's hot."
Gongsun Fuzheng wants to say that if you want to lose your temper, you can lose your temper directly, and there is no need to use the weather as an excuse.
But when he saw that Bai Xiuping was furious, looking like he was going to swallow himself alive, he quickly changed his tone and said with a grin: "The weather is indeed very hot." ”
If it weren't for the fact that there was something serious to deal with now, Bai Xiuping would definitely beat Gongsun Fu again.
A woman passed by Bai Xiuping and Gongsun Fu, Bai Xiuping looked at her and said, "That's the problem. ”
Bai Xiuping walked in the direction of the woman, and both the woman and Gongsun Fu were shocked.
The woman was wrapped in her hair, she was not very old, about the age of a weak crown, she was dressed plainly, and there were patches sewn on the arms of her clothes.
Seeing Bai Xiuping coming, the woman hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "Bye, meet the Young Sect Master." ”
His head was tightly lowered, and he didn't dare to look directly at Bai Xiuping, for fear that he would not have enough etiquette and make the young sect leader dissatisfied, and his heart was full of fear.
The prestige of the young sect leader is like thunder in the entire Ming Sect, and I don't know how many women have been poisoned by him.
The good-looking suffered, and the ordinary-looking ones were not let go, and they were humiliated.
Bai Xiuping, who had his back to the sun, asked softly: "The weather is so hot, why are you wearing clothes that you only wear in the beginning of winter?" ”
The other party was sweating profusely, obviously already too hot, but he was wearing thick clothes, no matter how he thought about it.
The woman didn't react, raised her head and said with a puzzled and somewhat frightened face: "Little, the villain doesn't understand what you mean......"
Seeing Bai Xiuping squatting down suddenly, the woman was even more frightened, and immediately lowered her head, trembling all over.
Bai Xiuping raised the woman's chin, frowned slightly and said, "Don't understand? Are you sweating all over your body and not hot? ”
Even though the woman was afraid, she didn't dare to resist, so she held back the fear in her heart and said, "You, why do you do this to me? ”
The young sect leader has a noble status, what woman can't get it, why embarrass himself for a woman with ordinary appearance and low status.
She didn't dare to make any moves, not even tears.
Suddenly, Bai Xiuping pressed her to the ground and said, "Wait a minute, you'll know the reason why I did this." ”
"Ahh
The woman screamed in fear.
Seeing Bai Xiuping pushing the woman and lifting other people's clothes, this sudden move, Gongsun Fu, who was accustomed to seeing the various behaviors of the young sect master, was also taken aback.
He held his head and shouted, "Young Sect Master, what are you doing here!" You're still out in broad daylight, have you changed to this hobby now? ”
Bai Xiuping ignored Gongsun Fu, but noticed that there were purple patches on the woman's entire arm.
I think the other party should be like this all over the body.
A gust of wind blew, and the petals in the distance also drifted to Bai Xiuping's side with the wind.
Bai Xiuping, who looked serious and frowned, pinched his fingers lightly and pinched a petal.
This flower, which looks beautiful on the outside and has bright red petals, is definitely a poppy.
Looking at the woman's arm, as well as the blooming flower fields in the distance, Bai Xiuping was sure that there was definitely something wrong with this down-and-out village.
He got up and whispered to the woman, "I'm sorry for the offense, let's go back early." ”
Bai Xiuping naturally knew that the original Young Sect Master of the Demon Sect would not say this, but in some matters, he would not compromise.
If he loses his morality and everything is limited by the identity of the young sect leader of the Demon Sect, what is the difference between him and the original Li Yiqing.
Gongsun Fu was stunned in place, he didn't understand what was going on from the beginning, whether it was Bai Xiuping's sudden move or apology, it was beyond his cognition.
Bai Xiuping said in a deep voice: "Let's go." ”
……
By a small river in the village of Luoluo.
"If you want me to prepare twice the amount next month, it's easy to say, damn it, or I'll take this opportunity to turn to the Young Sect Master."
Luo Jian, the head of Luoluo Village, complained.
After looking left and right, and making sure that there was no one nearby, Luo Jian jumped into the river.
There was an outlet in the water at the bottom of the river, and he swam in that direction.
"Ha, ha."
Luo Jian, who swam out of the water, had already arrived in another place, as if in a cave.
He gasped and complained: "You can't change places, and every time you come, you have to be like a reservoir dog." ”
The guard at the door, who was originally dozing, was startled when he saw Luo Jian who suddenly appeared, and woke up, "It's you." ”
Luo Jian patted the back of the guard's head with an unhappy face and said, "You are living comfortably, you don't have to work to sleep here." ”
As soon as he thought that he had to receive the young sect leader and face the black-robed man, Luo Jian was very irritable.
The guard didn't care, opened the door and said with a grin, "You made us stop working temporarily. ”
Inside turned out to be a casino, and the noise was constantly heard, and many people gathered here.
The guard continued, "But the casino is still open. ”
Ignoring the guards, Luo Jian patrolled the casino.
The conditions here are simple, there are no tables, and there are basically a few people sitting on the ground around the periphery, playing various games, and one of them is particularly noisy.
"Hey! Are you planning to go out of the way? Bastard, do you want to die? ”
A bearded man got up and scolded.
Another man retorted loudly, "Do you have proof?" ”
The scumbag man walked over and said, "Then use all the money and your wrist to gamble, what is the card in your hand now......"
Before the man finished speaking, there was a "click", and Luo Jian, who walked here, stabbed the man's wrist directly with a knife.
Everyone was immediately startled, and the man who was stabbed clutched clutched his bleeding wrist and cried.
Luo Jian said impatiently: "It doesn't matter what card he is, hurry up and end this game, do you want to die?" ”
Immediately ordered someone to drag the bleeding man out, and the guards looked at this scene with expressionless faces, and they had long been accustomed to it.
Luo Jian walked to a doorway guarded by two guards, and said to one of the people beside him, "Call everyone back, it's time to get to work." ”
