The man was furious at the sight of his dark gaze, and quickly shrank back to give up his position.

The woman in red covered her nose and leaned against the planks of the stable, and lay down after watching him lay the straw.

The smell here is not very good, how can there be a beggar who bathes all day long? But when she walked in, she realized that although Xiao Yao's hands and face looked dark, there was no smell on him.

She lowered her head, and the boy's expression soothed, and finally showed a tired appearance. He curled himself up in a small ball and closed his eyes.

With so many things happening tonight, he is really calm, and he doesn't have the slightest curiosity of a young boy?

The woman in red didn't squeak. After a while, she noticed that the child's breathing had become more even, but the posture was as defensive as ever.

After all, they are too young, and other seven or eight-year-old children are still playing under the knees of their elders at this time, so how can they experience these world sufferings?

As the rain subsided, she heard two beggars behind the shed whispering to each other:

“...... Is that imp at the stable?"

"Yes, he was the one who bit off Xu Laosan's ear last time. The Xu brothers wanted to take revenge, but they came back with a limp, not to mention the process. This little mute is crazy, bad and ruthless, and he can't kill him once, and he won't want to live in peace later. Since then, no one here has been willing to mess with him. ”

"I'm going to kill him with one hand. ”

"If you don't practice, you can try!"

The man snorted twice and didn't say anything more.

The woman in red listened to it in her ears and felt just funny. That kid isn't a good thing, but it's not good for madness. He is young and disabled, which dooms him to be unsociable, not only not to be cared for by others, but also to be treated coldly.

It is said that those who are horizontal are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of dying. In this ninth-rate rivers and lakes, if people don't have a little temper and personality, I'm afraid they will be bullied to the point that there are no scum left.

There is also half of the broken flag in the station. She stood on top of the flag post and faced east, her clothes fluttering, as if she were about to ride the wind.

In the darkness, it seems that something is fermenting rapidly.

"I slept soundly. She glanced at the little beggar below and smiled softly, "It's not a peaceful night." ”

￥￥￥￥￥

The little beggar slept until three o'clock in the morning.

In the early morning, the woman in red saw that his face was flushed and his breathing was short, and she knew that he was infected with the cold. If the other boys are like this, the family will have to go to the doctor if they are too busy. In two hours, however, his heat had subsided and everything was back to normal.

An illness came and went without a trace, showing the tenacity of his vitality.

But he slept a little longer, and when he woke up, he saw the sun rising high—

It's a sunny day, and the sky is clear. If he could jump up the hill and look down, he might agree with the phrase that the wheat fields are picturesque.

The little beggar looked left and right, but did not see the woman in red.

Did she leave?

The disappearance of the woman in red was not surprising to him. In his short few years, he only had passers-by, and everyone would eventually leave, and this one may be no exception. It's a pity that she said she would heal his throat.

It seems to be just talk. But he wanted to know what it was like to be able to talk to people.

The beggar's life was already leisurely, and he lay on the ground for a short time without hurrying to get up, but the sound of the crowd attracted his attention:

"City Lord's Mansion...... Murder case...... Thirty-seven ...... of human life"

He sat up suddenly, preoccupied.

......

An hour later, the little beggar stood outside the city lord's mansion.

The crowd that came to see the excitement surrounded the three floors inside and three layers outside, but there were guards outside the gate of the city lord's mansion who were strictly guarded, and they could only stretch their necks four feet away and discuss while watching.

What the crowd said was similar to what he had just heard:

Last night, a group of strongmen attacked the City Lord's Mansion at night, and the City Lord Ye's entire family and servants killed a total of thirty-seven people!

Since last night, the agency has arranged troops to patrol everywhere, and finally caught a few thieves this morning, and they are being strictly interrogated at the moment!

Yicheng is very small, and usually hears of chickens and dogs stealing at most, but such a vicious case has never been there, and it was in a uproar for a while, and the streets and alleys were hotly discussed.

The little beggar watched at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion for a while before leaving. He couldn't get into the scene of the murder, but he heard that there were corpses all over the field and rivers of blood flowing inside.

He has personally learned how ruthless the murderer is.

He stroked his chest, and the wooden bell was hidden under the placket of his clothes, so that no one else could see it. But he understood that the murder of the City Lord's Mansion was related to this bell.

The man who handed him the black box is the cronies of the city lord!

I hope those men in black don't know that the things he brought out at the risk of death, and the things that killed the city lord's whole family, are now on a little mute.

The little beggar remembered the woman in red again. Does she know the ins and outs?

She had been hoping that he would hand over the wooden bell to the City Lord's Mansion, but now that it was washed in blood, her hopes were dashed.

Throughout the day, the streets and alleys of Yicheng were filled with troops shuttling back and forth, and there was a lot of noise everywhere.

The little beggar went to the west gate again, and was not surprised to find that General Tie had guarded the gate, and the city defenders had driven people back.

The bureau investigated the case, afraid of the thieves, so the whole city of Yicheng was blocked, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Now it's okay, he can't go to the land temple in the western suburbs for the time being.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening again.

When the sun went down, the little beggar went to the well to fetch water to drink. As soon as he lowered his head, there was a long shadow on the ground.

He looked at it and saw that it was the leader of the soldiers he had saved last night.

The man was dressed in civilian clothes, and the collar was covered with a bandaged white cloth. His body is tough, although he has been wounded in many places, but he has not hit the vital point, his face is pale, but his spirit is very good, and he still holds a white cat in his right hand.

He stood in front of the little beggar, blocked the sight of other passers-by with his body, and then took out a string of copper coins and two pieces of broken silver and handed them over: "Thank you." That's all I have for now. ”

He knew that those firecrackers were the handiwork of the person in front of him, and this child had a life-saving grace for him.

The boy unceremoniously accepted it and looked at the cat in his hand again.

This is a rare local long-haired white cat with apricot eyes and a straight nose and a full face. Although it is not yet fully grown, the collar hair is thick and complete, and the body is graceful.

Unfortunately, it was covered in leaves and mud everywhere, and it was dirty.

The soldier leader said: "This is the pet raised by the city lord's wife, and he was kicked by thieves last night." It was originally counted as one of the physical evidence in the murder case, but the internal organs were kicked and broken, and I am afraid that I will not survive tonight. It was useless to leave a dead cat in the yali, and the boss ordered me to take it out and deal with it. Speaking of which, he sent the cat to the little beggar, "This cat was originally intensively bred in the house, and it has a good body of meat, why don't you take it?"

The white cat weighs about the same as the fat rabbit, and this kid hasn't touched meat for a long time, so he will be a favor.
