Autumn wind and autumn rain are sad (II)

There is a new beggar in the town, and few people will notice it except the beggars.

But the people noticed this thing.

Lately there have been strange people passing by in this town, how strange are these people? They are always dressed in white, carrying long swords, and embroidered with a green lotus on their cuffs. This group of people always carried long swords through the streets and alleys, and occasionally took out a picture to ask the people.

The picture is a handsome young man, but every time the new beggar passes by the alley or street where the drawing is pasted, he only dares to bow his head and peek in.

The beggar gets up very early every day, like a chicken, and if he gets up late, he is afraid that the beggars in the broken temple will see that there will be a burst of punches and kicks, and when he goes to bed at night, he will sleep late, and only when all the other beggars have entered the broken temple will he dare to find a place to lie down outside the broken temple.

Recently, the weather has been a lot more humid, rainy and rainy, and the golden leaves are running more enthusiastically to the earth.

As soon as the rooster crowed, he got up from under the eaves of the ruined temple.

It is rare to get up early to ask for food, and according to common sense, if a person can get up early to work, he will never reach the point of asking for food. But whoever really asks for bread sees only supper, and no beggar who gets up earlier than the working people.

But he's a special case.

One is that he can't sleep, I don't know if it's because of the recent weather, the wind and rain are getting thicker, and he can't feel comfortable lying down, and the other is that if he gets up late, he will inevitably be punched and kicked by that group of cheap people.

But this beggar couldn't fight back, and he didn't dare to attract the attention of others, so he could only endure the humiliation. Every day at dawn, he fled from the broken temple, and at night, when the dogs were asleep, he quietly touched the eaves of the broken temple and lay down.

Sometimes, on the street, he would also meet those "strange people" dressed in white and carrying long swords, and those white-clothed swordsmen would throw down a few copper plates when they saw him.

He could only keep his head down, cover his face with his long hair, keep moving, say pleasing auspicious words on his lips, and keep saying thank you after speaking.

Once upon a time, the people who rewarded him with silver money would only follow behind his ass and shout "senior brother" one by one. But now, he can only keep making fun of these people, saying auspicious words, and he is still frightened, for fear that these people will look at him more.

This new beggar is naturally Lin Yong.

He escaped from Quxia Town, and he knew that things were not good, and not long after he ran out, the wanted warrant of the Qinglian Sword Sect had been issued throughout Jingmen Prefecture, not only that, but his former junior brothers and senior brothers began to shuttle between various towns, still holding his portrait in their hands.

Lin Yong knew that he couldn't run out.

But how could he Lin Yong be a person who accepted his fate, if he really accepted his fate, then how could he covet the inheritance of the Blood Puppet Sect?

He was a man who had to live with a sharpened head, and his heart was full of resentment towards the masked Shushan kid, and he was extremely disappointed in his sister, but he never thought about what he had done to the people in the town.

He was going to live, to get his legacy back, and he was going to survive and wash away his shame with the blood of the masked boy.

In order to survive, he had to swallow his anger and become a beggar.

He knew that beggars were the easiest people to notice, but they were also the hardest people to get people to look at in detail.

Among the beggars in the ruined temple, some people have leprosy on their faces, and some have thick sores on their faces, and if there is a suitable place for them to sleep comfortably, they are afraid that they will not take care of them even if they have worms on them.

Of course, these people can only be minions. There was a head in this group of beggars, and the other beggars called him "Hong Shao", and on the first day that Lin Yong decided to be a beggar, he came to visit this Hong Shao, hoping that he could bring himself a bite of food to eat.

In these years, it is not easy to ask for food, but it is better in this small town, if it is in a large place such as the state capital, beggars are in groups and divide the place well. Therefore, the new beggars must recognize a big brother and have this big brother to take care of, so that they can beg for food with peace of mind.

The most famous beggar in this town is this Hong Shao, who is also the only beggar leader in this town.

When Lin Yong visited him on the first day, he was beaten by this Hong Shao, and the reason was very simple, because Lin Yong looked like a young master than him, and he looked unhappy in his heart.

This Hong Shao's family was originally a wealthy businessman in the town, and his business could be the capital of Jingmen Prefecture, and he was regarded as the richest man in the town. But the head of the family has an unsuccessful son, who is addicted to alcohol all day long, and likes to play money, that is, gambling.

But whoever gambles loses nine out of ten.

Of course, except for scoundrels like Xiaobai and Li Daoyi, who play small and will use force to play tricks appropriately.

I don't know how many people, thousands of families, and rich lives have lost on the word "gambling".

Hong Shao only has nine fingers, and the missing one is in the casino.

He had no worries about food and clothing, but his parents couldn't support him for a lifetime, he would always get old and always leave him. After his parents left, his family's business was completely shut down. He doesn't know how to take care of it, and he doesn't bother to take care of it.

Addicted to alcohol, at most he was not in good health and was ridiculed.

But he was addicted to gambling, which made his family surrounded by walls and ridiculed.

The night he lost his property, he finally played a trick, he spread himself on the gambling table, wanting to gamble the last handful with his hundred and ten pounds of meat and a life, and gamble back his family property.

At that time, the casino was full of people, and seeing this Hong Shao sitting on the gambling table, the thugs of the casino walked out with sticks and stood at the gaming table. And many of the little guys around Hong Shao also broke in with knives.

On one side there are famous rich people, and on the other side there are big casinos with black hearts.

People thought there would be a fight.

But the result was unexpected, and in the end, the owner of the casino should make the bet. However, there is one condition, no one is allowed to watch this gamble.

The casino arranged a separate room for them, and the gamblers could only see the shadows reflected in the windows, and the two parties faced each other at the door.

It didn't take long for this Hong Shao to come out and come out dejectedly.

With a wave of his hand, all the minions lowered their knives.

From the beginning to the end, no one had ever seen the casino owner's true face, and no one knew about it

The content of the game.

But people only know one thing, and since then, the town has had one more beggar head.

Hong Shao's intuition is very accurate, Lin Yong is really a son, and when his family's business is the best, he got rid of this town The Hong family doesn't know how many times, after all, the porcelain in Quxia Town is famous all over the world.

Hong Shao also dislikes this new beggar for no reason, there is no reason, disgust is disgust.

Of course, he didn't bother to target Lin Yong. It's all the little beggars under his command who see that their eldest brother doesn't like this newcomer, so they make it difficult for him everywhere.

Lin Yong looked down on Hong Shao, all the beggars, and even everyone in this town.

After all, he used to be the senior brother of the younger generation of the Qinglian Sword Sect, but the two women of Shushan Qingchi Peak were geniuses on par.

However, the current Lin Yong can only clamp his tail and be a man.

As soon as the day broke, he glanced contemptuously at the temple, and then walked out into the street with a bamboo stick.

He had silver taels, or even silver tickets, but he couldn't use them, so he could only hide them on his dirty belt.

Although he could not use a silver ticket and was ostracized from begging, he was never hungry.

He came out into the street every morning, with his head down, squatting on the corner, looking at the girls selling noodles at the noodle stalls. Lin Yong is not a greedy and lustful person, he came here to look at the girl just to fill his stomach.

On the second or third day of his coming, he was taught a lesson by Hong Shao's younger brother, and he didn't dare to fight back, so he had nowhere to go, so he could only come to this corner.

Just as he lowered his head and secretly thought about what to do, his face was hit by a hot air, and he instinctively ran back, only to turn his head, but heard a crisp female voice shouting: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." I see you've been here for a long time, have you been bullied by Hong Shao and them, eat a mouthful of hot noodle soup!"

When Lin Yong heard this voice, he was suddenly stunned, covered his face with his hair, took the bowl, and ate it in a big gulp.

The girl in the cloth dress smiled slightly, and was seen by Lin Yong, who happened to look up, and that smile seemed to be coated with a layer of light.

"Ah Hui, hurry up and help. ”

An old man shouted, and the girl named Ah Hui put away the bowl used by Lin Yong and walked towards the noodle stall.

Lin Yong took a deep look at the noodle stall, as well as the grandfather and grandson who set up a stall to sell noodles.

He was suddenly touched in his heart, and turned away.

The next day, he came here by a ghost, not knowing whether he wanted to see the girl or was attracted by the smell of the noodle stall.

Coincidentally, he was discovered by Ah Hui again, and he also saw the bruises on his face. That was the mark left by Hong Shao's group.

The girl didn't say anything, but brought him a bowl of noodles.

"Don't mix with Hong Shao and them, they say they are begging for food, but they are actually collecting protection money. Later, you come to me hungry. ”

Lin Yong lowered his head and ate noodles without answering.

"By the way, where are you from, why haven't you seen it before? ”

"You, such a big person, don't be a beggar, you come so early every day, take out this energy, find a job, you will definitely not starve to death. ”

The girl babbled, not noticing that the strange beggar had put down the bowl and looked at her.

The girl didn't notice anyone staring at him, he put down the bowl and left.

Another day passed, and he told himself not to go to the alley, and he kept wandering outside.

At noon, he went there again.

He saw a bowl of noodles that had been cold, and the girl who kept looking at it.

Lin Yong thought about it and ate the bowl of cold noodles with a smile.

When the girl was busy and looked again, she found that there was no noodles on the street corner, so she picked up the noodle bowl, smiled slightly, and left.

Lin Yong watched this scene from afar, and an unprecedented warmth appeared in his heart.

Another day passed, and she didn't wait for the strange beggar, but waited for Hong Shao at noon.

Someone found out that this newcomer obviously had no place to eat, but he was not hungry every day, so he quietly stared at him, and people discovered this scene.

Hong Shao came to the noodle stall with more than a dozen people, and they didn't sit on the stool, but sat down in front of the noodle stall and sat on the ground.

"Ask the girl to eat. ”

Hong Shao laughed and looked at the girl and her elderly grandfather.

The girl gritted her teeth, found a few taels of silver, and threw them in front of Hong Shao.

"Go somewhere else!"

The group of beggars was clearly here to stir up trouble, and as soon as they came, all the guests left.

"Miss Hui, we are all from the same town, would you rather give noodles to the foreign boys than entertain our brothers?"

Hong Shao laughed, didn't care about the broken silver, but took out a copper plate from his bosom and put it on the table.

"Ten bowls of noodles for our brothers. ”

The girl gritted her teeth and stood still.

Hong Shao sneered, and Ah Hui's grandfather saw that the situation was not right, so he hurriedly walked over, and only then did he want to say a few words of convincing. With a wave of his hand, Hong Shao began to smash the stall.

There were even people who tugged and shoved the old man and the girl.

The old man eventually fell to the ground and fainted, and the girl's clothes were slightly torn.

It just so happened that the disciples of the Qinglian Sword Sect who were passing by saw this scene and drove Hong Shao and them away.

When Hong Shaocai came, Lin Yong saw this scene, but he didn't dare to step forward, he could only watch the wise girl and the old man being bullied.

After Hong Shao and the others left, the people finally surrounded them and carried the old man to the medical hall with all hands and feet.

Lin Yong only dared to hide in the corner and watched this scene.

This night, Lin Yong did not return to the broken temple, he ran to the woods, stayed all night, and held his long sword.

Several times he had an impulse to carry a long sword to slaughter the beggars in the ruined temple one by one and refine them into blood puppets.

But when it came to dawn, he still didn't muster up the courage, and finally he buried the long sword

Got up and listened to the light rain of the night.

He thought for a moment, took out the silver ticket from his waist, and walked towards the noodle stall.

Not surprisingly, the grandfather and grandson did not set up a stall today.

In a small town, no matter how big or small, will become a talking point.

He lay on the ground, became a competent beggar, and finally learned from the gossip of the people where the wise girl lived.

He quietly touched it, this time with extreme caution.

Lin Yong put the silver ticket at the door of the house, pressed it with a stone, and then ran to a distance and hit the door with a stone from a distance.

Hearing the noise, the girl pushed the door open, looked around and found no one, and looked down to see only a silver ticket.

She picked up the silver ticket suspiciously, Lin Yong felt a little relieved when she saw this, with this silver ticket, his grandfather should be fine!

This silver ticket was enough for her to hire the best healer and buy expensive medicinal herbs to recuperate her grandfather's body.

The next day, just after dawn, with a few dog barks, white flags rose not far away.

Lin Yong saw this white banner from a distance, and had an ominous premonition in his heart, and walked in the direction of the white flag, and sure enough, he arrived at her door.

There are many neighbors who come and go in and out of her house, helping, and consoling.

He didn't see her, presumably kneeling in front of the coffin.

He was about to turn around and leave, when Hong Shao came, taking his group of beggars with him.

They took a big red flower made of red cloth and swaggered into the mourning hall.

"I'm here to mourn the old man, hey, from now on, I won't be able to eat his noodles. His voice was very loud, not a trace of sadness, but a hint of pride.

"Aren't you kind-hearted? I hate kind-hearted people the most in my life. ”

Lin Yong's body froze and quietly looked at the mourning hall.

It seems that the girl slapped Hong Shao, and the entire mourning hall suddenly became chaotic, the beggars smashed wildly, and some even stuffed offerings into their arms.

Hong Shao was originally an evil young man, he became a beggar and bullied people all day long, where did the people dare to help. In the end, even the old man's body was turned out.

All that was left of the mourning hall was a group of beggars and a girl crying in front of the coffin.

"You see that stinky boy and tell him that grandpa hasn't seen him in two days. Let him honestly go to the gate of the broken temple and stay, otherwise you will have to bear it. ”

As he spoke, he bit an apple that had been offered to the deceased, and then threw it with his backhand, which happened to hit the girl in the face.

Lin Yong took a deep breath, said nothing, and turned to leave.

......

The autumn rain is continuous, and the wind is slightly cold.

Lin Yong once again took out his long sword and stood at the foot of the tree.

Not far away was a man with a hat.

He was dressed in a hat, with his head buried low, leaning against a tree, and carrying a long sword wrapped in linen behind his back.

"You're here anyway. ”

Lin Yong's heart was extremely calm at this time, and he said lightly.

This person is naturally Xu Changan, he nodded.

"Yes, most of the white flags in Quxia Town have your credit in it. ”

Lin Yong lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, his long sword was naturally held in his hand, and there was no green glow.

"I know it now, that feeling. ”

Xu Changan let out an "oh" in some surprise.

"You don't want the inheritance of the Blood Golem Sect anymore?"

"I want to!"

"Do you regret it?"

Lin Yong nodded and shook his head again.

"You know, disciples like us with no background have to work hard to climb to the position of contemporary senior brothers. In order to become stronger, I have no regrets. ”

He lowered his head, and there were raindrops downstairs in the woods, wetting his hair, and the raindrops fell down the ends of his hair, brushed the tip of his nose, and fell to the ground.

"I even thought about marrying my sister to the young sect master, but it was useless, I was born and died, and I was busy every day, but I still couldn't get the core Qinglian Sword Technique. ”

"But what about him? He can cultivate with peace of mind every day, there are some things that he was born with!"

When Xu Changan heard this, he suddenly didn't know how to refute.

The same thing was said by Li Daoyi.

"But I regret it again. ”

"Why should she suffer if she is such a kind person?"

Xu Changan naturally knew about what happened, so he found Lin Yong.

"Don't you think you're more terrible than this Hong Shao. ”

Xu Changan finally spoke.

"His evil is on the surface, and everyone guards against him, but you have the devil in your heart. You can't see it on weekdays, but you are dozens of times more harmful than him. What did your fellow villagers do to you, and didn't treat you badly? You can be moved by someone you've only known for a short time, but you ignore the people closest to you. The more touched you should leave to them. ”

Lin Yong lowered his head, did not speak, and finally sighed.

"Give me a day. He gritted his teeth and said this with his sword in hand.

Xu Changan knew what he was thinking and nodded.

"Good. ”

"Thank you, I will come here in a day's time. I was defeated on the Devil's Mountain, and here, I want to try again. ”

"Good. Xu Changan didn't take the hat, but replied to him lightly.

......

Lin Yong bowed deeply to Xu Changan and walked out of the woods. He doesn't want good people to be rewarded, but he wants bad people to be punished.

He walked out of the woods with his long sword, which was a little heavy, and when a gust of wind blew, he tightened his clothes.

This wind, a little cold.
