Chapter 14 Tasks
West Street, this is the clue that Han Tu just got from the old man, and it is also the only clue, he no longer hesitated and walked towards West Street.
The prosperity of Qingquan Town is eye-catching, but the more prosperous the place, the darker the dark side, the old man's mouth of the West Street is the dark side of Qingquan Town, when the old emperor ordered a general to transform Qingquan Town, to make it prosperous, but the general is very lazy, he secretly drove the poor people in the town to the dark corner of the town, creating a prosperous scene of Qingquan Town.
If it was just like this, for the poor, it was just a change of place to continue to live a life of sunrise and sunset, but the general did not choose to give up, he privately ordered his subordinates to pretend to be street gangsters and go to West Street to extort oil and water.
The people on the fourth street dared not speak out, and occasionally a few denunciators disappeared inexplicably, and since then, no one has chosen to stand out.
Maybe it's because of the bad things, the general died at the age of forty, and the year he exploited West Street was only four or five years, but the bad influence caused could not be eliminated in the following decades.
Unconsciously, Han Tu had come to the location of West Street, which was a little dilapidated, and most of the houses on the side of the road were dilapidated and seemed to be about to collapse at any time. After coming to the town, Han Tu thought that his village was backward enough, but he didn't expect that in Qingquan Town, which is known as the most prosperous town within a hundred miles, there are still places that are more backward than his own village.
Eh, Han Tu sighed softly, these things are indeed not something that his ten-year-old child can manage, seeing those people busy working, all he thinks is to go home early and repay his adoptive father.
The estrangement between father and son seems to have disappeared at this moment.
Just as Han Tu was walking on the street of West Street, suddenly a giant tree attracted his attention, the giant tree was more than a zhang in diameter, and its height was probably more than ten meters.
Han Tu walked under the tree and stopped, looking up at the giant tree, he didn't have this feeling in the distance, but once he got closer, he would definitely be shocked by the grandeur of the giant tree.
"Yo, little brother, is this here for sightseeing, you are right, this ancient tree is the most famous attraction in this neighborhood, even the old emperor has meditated under this tree, I don't believe you look at the words engraved by the old emperor behind this tree!"
A slightly snarky voice sounded from behind, Han Tu turned around and saw the appearance of the person who came, this person was really obscene, in his thirties, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, at first glance, he was a cunning person, after Han Tu heard what he said, he looked in the direction that the person was pointing.
Before Han Tu could take a closer look, he was pulled back by the man.
"Hey, don't talk about this, now it seems that the little brother is not here for sightseeing, he came here to find someone, he is a jack-of-all-trades here, you can ask me if there is anything." ”
Han Tu occasionally heard older people mention that there will be some people in the big town who are similar to guides, and they only need to pay a small fee to let them know everything.
But Han Tu's body was cleaner than his face, and in addition to those few darts, he was carrying a few pieces of dry food for a few days, and he really couldn't pay for it.
Thinking of this, Han Tu said: "Thank you, uncle, but I didn't bring any money when I came out, so I won't be troublesome." ”
The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man had already discovered that Han Tu's arms were bulging, thinking that his arms were full of silver, so he began to be courteous.
"Haha, look at what you said, whoever comes is a guest, I don't know where the little brother wants to go?"
"I'm here to find an orange cat named Mimi, I heard that the last place to appear is the giant tree on West Street, does my uncle know any clues?"
"Haha, there's nothing I don't know, come with me. ”
Without much thought, Han Tu followed the man towards the alley, and when he thought that this person had led the way for him, and he hadn't asked his name yet, he asked, "What's my uncle's name?"
"Well, my name is Liu Mang, and you can call me Uncle Mang. ”
"Uh-huh. Han Tu hurriedly agreed, and when he talked to the older man, he would no longer be able to find the appearance of the child king.
The two of them gradually walked towards the depths of the alley, and soon ten minutes passed, and the people around seemed to be gradually decreasing, even Han Tu, who was nervous, gradually felt that something was wrong, and he asked, "Uncle, why haven't you arrived yet?" ”
"Hehe, uncle seems to be in the wrong place, so let's take you home. ”
As soon as the words fell, Liu Mang, who was walking in front, stopped suddenly, took out a dagger from his arms and stabbed Han Tu in the chest.
A sense of crisis hit, Han Tu subconsciously took half a step back, saw the dagger stabbed over, twisted slightly, and dodged, and then a backflip opened the distance.
In the past month or so, although Han Tu has not exercised his body, the accumulation of exercise when he was a child and the role played by the cultivation of Chang Xingong, these relatively basic body methods Han Tu can still do.
"I didn't expect you to be a bad person, uncle!"
After seeing Han Tu's agility, Liu Mangleng was stunned for a moment, but soon greed prevailed, he thought, these people who can learn martial arts are all children of rich families, and the silver taels in his arms must be a lot. If Han Tu knew what he was thinking, he was afraid that he would not shout wrong.
Without thinking too much, Liu Mang brandished the dagger again and rushed forward.
After all, Liu Mang has been crawling at the bottom for many years, although his skills are not as good as those who learn martial arts, but he is still a lot stronger than Han Tu, for a while, Han Tu couldn't get out of Liu Mang's attack range, so he had to dodge his attack in embarrassment, fortunately, although Liu Mang's offensive was fierce, but there was no discipline, and he must not be able to hurt Han Tu in a short time, but it was not a way to drag it on like this, although Han Tu's physical strength far exceeded that of his peers, but he was still slightly inferior to adults, not to mention a gangster like Liu Mang.
This is not a way, Han Tu took out a few darts in his arms and clamped them on his fingers, and just threw them forward, but he happened to meet Liu Mang's dagger, which shocked him and made his mouth numb, and the darts flew out.
Liu Mang saw that Han Tu didn't know what he had taken out from his arms and actually blocked his dagger, not only stopped. But he never expected that Han Tu just happened to hit his dagger.
Taking advantage of Liu Mang's stunned moment, Han Tu hurriedly distanced himself from the other party by a few meters, and then breathed a sigh of relief, if he kept such a distance, Liu Mang would not be able to hurt himself.
Han Tu looked at Liu Mang coldly, this was the first time he was so angry, and it was also the first time he was attacked, you must know that when he was in the village, everyone helped each other, how could anyone kill him like this, not only subverted Han Tu's worldview for a while, but also made him realize for the first time that there are not only good people in this world.
Han Tu took out the dart, his wrist trembled slightly, and the dart shot towards Liu Mang in an arc, the speed of the dart was very fast, and it arrived in front of Liu Mang's eyes in a blink of an eye.
Liu Mang also looked at Han Tu coldly, but he retreated in his heart, Han Tu's methods made him feel a little scared, and glanced at the things in Han Tu's bulging arms again, and couldn't help but think, this cub will not be filled with this kind of darts in his arms, if it is really like what he said, there is no money, then I am not working in vain.
Thinking of this, Liu Mang was no longer in the mood to fight with Han Tu, and after he said a few cruel words, he slowly retreated in the face of Han Tu.
Han Tu did not stop Liu Mang's departure, he took the three darts in his left hand back into his arms, and sighed, fortunately Liu Mang took the initiative to retreat, so that he really didn't know how to deal with it. Although he had already taken out the dart in his hand and planned to use the throwing technique of Sanhua Juding, if it really came to that point, Han Tu would not have the confidence to really kill him, after all, he just wanted not to let Liu Mang hurt himself, and he never thought of hurting others one day.
This time, Liu Mang took the initiative to retreat, which can be regarded as solving a problem in Han Tu.
carelessly, he is wary enough for Hao, how can he trust a stranger so much.
This is the art of language, Liu Mang has been mixed at the bottom for so many years, he has already learned to see people and talk about people, and he can often gain the trust of others in a few words, this kind of ability is something that they young people can't learn, even if Yu Hao is only seventeen years old this year.
During this trip to West Street, Han Tu seemed to have grown a lot, he understood his father's difficulty, and also understood that people's hearts were sinister, if he hadn't reacted fast enough, he would have died there just now.
When people only say three words, don't throw away all your heart, the words of the ancients are reasonable.
Han Tu secretly started Chang Xin Gong and spit out the stuffy breath in his chest, which had no effect on the growth of the inside, but had an obvious effect on calming the mind.
After his mood stabilized, a few meows attracted Han Tu's attention, and in an instant, Han Tu thought, couldn't it be that Liu Mang originally planned to lead the way for him, but he temporarily had a killing intent halfway?
Thinking of this, Han Tu hurriedly shook his head, looking at Liu Mang's sinister appearance, it didn't look like a temporary idea, it should be just a coincidence.
Han Tu walked towards the sound of a cat's meow.
At the end of the alley there was a large courtyard, which was also slightly dilapidated, covered with dust, and seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time.
Just as Han Tu was about to walk in to look for the cat, he smelled a strong smell of blood.
As soon as he pushed open the door, there was a creak, and blood flowed down the bottom of the door, and suddenly the air was filled with the smell of blood.
Han Tu felt as if something was staring at him, he looked up suddenly, the door of the hut in the courtyard was hidden, a pair of extremely cold eyes were looking at him, a chill instantly spread all over his body, he didn't feel this way when he was watched by a wild boar at that time, Han Tu seemed to feel the air around him freeze.
The eyes in the crack of the door suddenly disappeared, as if it was a hallucination, and just as Han Tu was about to take a closer look, the door was knocked out and flew out.
