Qingyun Continent, Northern Liang City.

A little boy who was only six or seven years old was curled up next to the stone lion at the back door of the Zhao Mansion.

In the ice and snow, the little boy shivered in an ill-fitting single dress.

Strangely, his eyes were also covered with strips of black cloth.

The black cloth reveals a pair of sword eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and thin lips.

The cheeks are slightly sunken due to emaciation, and the jaw is angular.

Crunch~

The back door of the Zhao Mansion opened, but then there was a dull sound.

Bang!

A stiff corpse was thrown out the back door.

The thin body fell to the ground, smashing the snow out of a shallow pit.

Zhao Qing, who was wearing a thick jacket, hesitated, and his eyes showed a trace of unbearability.

He threw down the four copper coins and put the rest back in his sleeve.

The young man hurriedly got up, shook the snow on his body, and squeezed out a gentle smile and said.

"Brother Qing, just now there were leftovers in the house and threw them out?"

As he spoke, the boy crouched down and touched his feet.

The smile on his face was still there, but he reached out and touched a corpse that was already cold to the bone!

Li Guanqi's hand froze in the air, and his body trembled slightly as his throat squirmed.

After a few moments, the boy fell to his knees and groped his hands tremblingly towards the girl's face.

The trembling hand touched the girl's chin and suddenly took it back like an electric shock!

He felt a long scar that had been caused by his uncle beating his sister two years ago after he lost money drunk.

"Sister..."

A slightly mournful murmur came from the boy's mouth.

The smile on the young man's face had long since disappeared, and two lines of tears burst out of his eyes uncontrollably.

Ignoring the goose feathers and snow falling from the sky, the boy took off the only tattered linen clothes on his body and wrapped it around the girl's body!

The scrawny body was covered with hideous scars, and the bruises on his back had not gone away.

Stretching out his hand full of chilblains, he gently touched the girl's hair.

The young man lowered his head and muttered in a hoarse voice: "It's better to be dead or alive... Live to suffer. ”

Ignoring the biting ice and snow, the boy rummaged on the ground and found four copper coins.

The young man's heart suddenly felt a little sad.

I can't imagine that my sister can't even retain her last dignity after death!

Dead people's money, is it so easy to get!!

A cold wind blew, Zhao Qing couldn't help but tighten his cuffs, and looked at the young man and couldn't help but say.

"Your sister... It's not a good life, so go back with this money. ”

The boy tore off the strip of cloth that blindfolded him, revealing a pair of pale eyes.

raised his head and followed the prestige, slowly stretched out his right hand and said softly: "The subordinate died in vain, and the main family will pay ten times!" ”

"This money... It's my sister's last dignity, you shouldn't take it! ”

Zhao Qing put his hands on his sleeves, and when he heard that the other party asked for money, the look of pity on his face immediately put away.

said with a cold face: "Stinky blind man, do you want these four loves!" Get out of here! ”

Li Guanqi, who was only six years old, was thin and weak, but there was a fierce look on his face!

Quickly stepped on the steps of the Zhao Mansion, grabbed the man's hand and shouted, "Give me what you should give!" ”

Zhao Qing frowned when he saw Li Guanqi's frostbite-covered hand grabbing him.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and a hand grabbed the boy's hair and threw him down the stairs.

Bang!

The thin body was smashed into the snow, and there were bluestone slabs under the heavy snow.

If you fall on it, you will show a black blue, let alone a teenager who is thrown half a foot away.

Zhao Qing glanced at the young man who fell to the ground with a cold face, and said ruthlessly: "Stinky blind man! Get out of here with the corpse! ”

"If Lao Tzu didn't see you pitiful, he wouldn't give it to you!"

"Huh!"

Just when Zhao Qing turned around and was about to go back, the corner of his clothes behind him was actually grabbed by someone.

Zhao Qing turned his head to look, and the young man didn't know when he came behind him, and his hands were holding the corners of his clothes.

"Give me the money!!"

"This is my sister's life money!"

Zhao Qing was vicious, and just about to be ruthless, he looked down and saw those miserable white eyes!

Those eyes obviously couldn't see, but he felt that the other party was watching him.

A chill rose from the bottom of Zhao Qing's heart, and he turned his head to look at the girl who was exhausted to death.

Zhao Qing finally put down his raised fist and stuffed the rest of the copper plate from his sleeve into the young man's hand.

"It's so bad for you!"

Li Guanqi let go of his hand and numbly counted the copper plate in his hand.

Bang!

The door closed, and a slightly immature voice came from inside.

"Xiaoqing~ Well! Why don't you hurry up and feed the birds to Young Master Ben? ”

"Young Master Yuanlin, the little one will go, and the one will go."

"Why did you go just now?"

“……”

"Isn't it just a dead maid? Big, let that blind man get away! ”

Li Guanqi looked at the sky blankly, and sat on the steps of the Zhao Mansion for a long time with a copper coin.

Walking down the steps, he struggled to pick up the stiff corpse and turned away.

Squeak... Squeak...

It was the sound of Li Guanqi's feet stepping on the snow, a little slow, but he walked firmly.

All this was seen by the old man in the restaurant more than ten feet away.

The old man was dressed in a gray robe, and his beard and hair were all white.

The bridge of the nose is high, and the lips are slightly thin but not half mean.

There is no half-decadence between the eyebrows and eyes, but the eyes are extremely clear.

There were a few side dishes on the table and a pot of warm wine.

Looking at the boy groping for the wall, the hand holding the wine glass suddenly stopped in mid-air.

The old man's eyes flashed with a faint glint of essence to look at the young man, and he muttered in a low voice: "I didn't expect that the embryo that I had been looking for hundreds of years turned out to be a little blind man......"

"That's it, maybe it's providence."

Then the old man slowly got up, and said in a mellow voice: "Little Er, settle the bill!" ”

The cold winter wax moon is the time when the north wind is biting.

A gust of cold wind was like a sharp knife poking at the young Li Guanqi.

There were several pauses on the way, until nightfall, when the boy left the stiff body at the door of a medical hall.

The old man in gray was also thinly dressed, but the snowstorm automatically avoided it when he passed by the old man.

"Everyone is dead, the three souls and seven spirits have entered reincarnation, why do you still come to this medical hall?"

Not long after, the young man had a few more herbs in his hand, and with great difficulty he carried the corpse and continued to hurry.

Immediately afterwards, I came to a small shop with white silk hanging at the door.

It wasn't long before the boy came out of it with a jar in his hand.

There is a piece of paper on it.

'Li Cuiwei. ’

Wrapped in the girl's pink clothes, there was not much emotion on the boy's face from beginning to end.

On the way, the boy also picked up two steamed buns that were already like bricks at the door of the bun shop.

At this time, there was a smile on the young man's face.

This made the old man who had been following him very puzzled, why he had no mood swings when the young man's sister died.

It's just that the people of the Zhao Mansion deducted the copper plate that should be compensated.

The boy with the ashes didn't have any expression, but he laughed because he picked up two steamed buns that no one wanted.

The old man's curiosity was thoroughly aroused, and he continued to follow the young man.

Suddenly!

The old man in the wind and snow was stunned and looked up at the sky.

He said softly with an indifferent face: "Tsk, the old man just demolished a sect some time ago, did this Northern Liang Kingdom Protector actually come to the door in person?" ”

"Little Yuan Baby...... It's good to meet and save both parties trouble. ”

Brush!

The old man stepped out in one step, and he actually shuttled dozens of miles in an instant, appearing in a wild pavilion.

But the old man in the brocade robe had already made tea with warm wine, and seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Seeing the old man appear, the Northern Liang Kingdom Protector Master hurriedly got up and saluted, and said respectfully: "I've seen the seniors......

In the south of Beiliang City, in a dilapidated small courtyard, even the gate can't be closed.

The boy stood at the door and hesitated for a long time, but finally took a deep breath and pushed the door out of the house.

Squeak~

There was not even a single light turned on in the dark room, the house was surrounded by walls, and even the window paper was torn with many holes, but there was no money to repair it.

A dark shadow on the cold earthen kang moved slightly, and then a weak voice slowly came.

"Watching chess... Coming back? ”

The woman's voice was very gentle, but unusually weak.

The person who spoke out was Li Guanqi's mother, Song Wanrong.

Song Wanrong, who got up, had a haggard face and sunken cheeks, but when she looked at the young man, her eyebrows and eyes were full of tenderness.

Song Wanrong looked around by the moonlight and asked softly, "What about Cuiwei?" ”

Li Guanqi, who was rummaging for candles in the drawer, suddenly stiffened, lit the candle flame, and reflected the lonely crockpot beside him.

He said in a dry voice: "Sister Cuiwei...... died, and Zhao Fu paid ten copper plates. ”

"I'm going to get the money back, hide it, and treat my mother."

After speaking, the young man took out the steamed bun that had melted a little from his arms and handed it to Song Wanrong.

groping for herbs and walking to the kitchen, he said in a hoarse voice, "I'll go and boil medicine for my mother." ”

Song Wanrong gently pulled Li Guanqi's hand and put the steamed bun on Li Guanqi's hand.

Holding back tears, he said, "Mother... Mother is not hungry, you can eat. ”

The dry hair covered most of the woman's face, but Li Guanqi heard a few tears smashing on the mat.

Bang!!

The door was kicked open, and the cold wind suddenly entered the house, and the young man's body trembled, not knowing whether it was the cold wind or because he was afraid.

The person who came was Li Guanqi's distant uncle, Li Dashan.

Li Dashan is not tall, wearing a navy blue jacket, horizontal cheeks, triangular eyes, and a hooked nose.

The whole person looked like a fierce face, and before he entered the door, a cruel voice had already come from afar.

"Fuck! What about the money!! ”
