144 The Thief Walks (3)
With his hands behind his back, Tuo Ye quietly held a slender flying sword in his palm, and said calmly: "Let's listen to the son's opinion, how to spend the silver?"
Xu Tianran glanced at Guan Tong and smiled warmly, "Tuo Ye is different from the monks on the mountain, he is also a person who crawls in the quagmire of the rivers and lakes, and he must know that this Broken Leaf City seems to be prosperous, but in fact, under the prosperity, how many mortals are hungry and unclothed, and Tuo Ye is willing to scatter all his family wealth to feed them a little more, and a little more warmth in the cold winter." ”
As soon as these words came out, even Guan Tong was surprised, how could the evil master of Broken Leaf City scatter all his family wealth just to let the poor people eat more food and wear one more piece of clothing.
Tuo Yangtian laughed, "You said that my money is blown by the wind, why should I give it to those untouchables?"
Xu Tianran said indifferently: "With Master Tuo's life, it is more valuable than gold and silver." ”
Tuo Ye raised his eyebrows, squinted his eyes and said contemptuously: "By you?"
Xu Tianran said softly: "It's up to me." ”
Tuo Ye's heart moved slightly, and the slender flying sword behind him stabbed at Xu Tianran's eyebrows in an instant, it was a sword that was bound to hit, and he never thought of "ding", a slender flying sword in the center of Xu Tianran's eyebrows stood proudly, and turned the slender flying sword into iron filings with a direct blow.
Tuo Ye was slightly shocked, but in his own secret room, with Xu Tianran's cultivation of the Jindan realm, he couldn't help himself, and suddenly, the secret room formation was urged, Xu Tianran only felt that the aura of the secret room was flowing wildly, and it seemed chaotic, but after a closer look, it was running regularly along a certain path, Xu Tianran smelled a trace of danger, and held his waist Changping.
Suddenly, a talisman on the top of the secret room exploded, and a magic weapon like a rope of fairy rope rushed towards Xu Tianran, Xu Tianran Changping came out of the sheath, and the blade slashed the rope but could not be cut, and a burst of sparks appeared, and in an instant, the big net tied Xu Tianran, and Changping fell lightly to the ground.
Guan Tong took two steps back, seeing that the boy in the green shirt had been defeated, so he could only hide behind the beautiful sister in white.
Zhu Ziqi gently patted Guan Tong's head, telling her not to be afraid, she held Shuanghua, did not save the green shirt, protected Guan Tong, and waited to see the changes, she knew that the green shirt would not be easily defeated, I don't know what kind of medicine he sold in the gourd?
Tuo Ye sneered, "There are two brushes, but if you want to beat me in the secret room, it's still a hundred years early." ”
Xu Tianran looked like he was restrained, and said dejectedly: "Master Tuo, in fact, I know that you are not a vicious person, otherwise the dark world of Broken Leaf City would not be as orderly as it is today, I am already a turtle in the urn, I want to ask Master Tuo, with Master Tuo's ability, he can also become a top-ranked worship in ordinary sects, why create an orderly dark world?"
Tuo Ye slowly stood up, subconsciously glanced at his prosthetic, and said in a deep voice: "Old past, don't mention it, I also have a question for you, looking for me for no reason, just so that I can help those short-sighted untouchables?"
Xu Tianran said dejectedly: "When I first entered the rivers and lakes, I had a bit of a chivalrous heart, thinking about robbing the rich and helping the poor, this is what heroes do." ”
Tuo Ye seemed to be touched in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The rivers and lakes are not as black and white as you see with your eyes, the rich are evil, and the poor are good?" Mr. Storyteller often says that the hero who robs the rich and helps the poor is deeply loved by the people, but who knows that the human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, the first time you gave the poor a tael of silver, the poor are grateful to Dade, the second time you gave a tael, the poor are not so happy, when you look back, you give the neighbor widow two taels of silver, he begins to mutter, whether the widow has a leg with you, and gradually a lot of saliva will drown the widow. Originally, it was just a little more than a little more heart and an extra silver tael, but when he turned around, he hurt the widow, and the chaste widow who could not bear the foul language committed suicide by hanging herself from a beam to prove her innocence. When you learned the news and didn't want to come to this village to distribute the money, the villagers of this village became resentful and went to the government to report that the next village had taken dirty silver. The villagers no longer had anyone to sing the praises of the thief, and they all wanted to break off the relationship with the thief, close the door, and even pretended to drug the thief in the name of thanking the thief, and sent him to the official. This is the human heart, the most incomprehensible, incomprehensible, and inexplicable thing in the world. ”
Xu Tianran was moved, looked at the back of Tuo Ye's vicissitudes, and sighed: "This is your story." ”
Tuo Ye waved his hand, shook his head and said, "It's a friend." ”
Xu Tianran clearly felt the sadness in Tuo Ye's heart, there are too many people in the world who tell stories that are friends, but that empathetic emotion is always clear at a glance, that is his own story.
Xu Tianran asked, "What happened to the thief?"
Tuo Ye came back to his senses, glanced at the embarrassed green shirt, then at the white clothes and the little girl, and mocked: "You have a big heart, and now I don't know what to do with you, you still have the heart to listen to the story." ”
Xu Tianran grinned and said: "Life must be happy, don't make the golden bottle empty to the moon." I'm already a prisoner of yours, whether I'm dead or alive can't live a word from you, what is there to think, but it's also great to be able to listen to the story before I die, it's more enjoyable than eating a bowl of severed head rice. ”
Tuo Ye pointed to the white clothes and the little girl not far away, "You don't worry about them, do you think they can escape in the secret room?"
Xu Tianran nodded thoughtfully, and looked at Master Tuo pitifully, "I beg Lord Tuo to let my daughter-in-law and apprentice go, it's all my fault, just take my life, don't hurt the innocent." ”
Tuo Ye slowly stepped forward, the wooden prosthetic leg of his left leg made a "crunch" sound, approached the boy in green shirts, put away the big net tied to Xu Tianran's body, shook his head and said: "Young people nowadays are really getting more and more incomprehensible, this net obviously can't trap you, why do you deliberately get into it?"
Xu Tianran's face sank, shook his head and said: "It seems that the acting skills are insufficient, there are flaws, and I will have to hone my acting skills in the future.
Tuo Ye was happy, and said with a hearty smile: "You don't have too much malice towards me, I don't have too much malice towards you, I know that you must have the ability to press the bottom of the box, maybe I can withstand it, maybe I can't stand it, but we haven't reached the point where we need to completely tear our faces and take the risk, you just said what you mean, let's sit down and talk." If you can talk about it, you should make a friend, but if you can't talk about it, you owe you a favor, how about it?"
Guan Tong was taken aback, he thought that the surname Xu had been completely defeated, and the sister in white was his last straw, but he didn't expect that the surname Xu was not only fine, but Tuo Ye also took the initiative to let him go, and he was able to put down his body and do business with him, and if the deal failed, he owed a favor, it stands to reason that the surname Xu does not have such a big face, why does Tuo Ye value this person so much?
Xu Tianran was also deeply surprised, Tuo Ye was really not a mortal, and in just a few words, he completely blocked the reason for doing it himself, it seems that he can manage the dark world of Broken Leaf City in an orderly manner.
Xu Tianran didn't get up either, so he simply sat on the ground and said lazily: "Actually, I don't have anything to do, I just want to hear the story of Tuo Ye first, and I want to know what happened to the grand thief?"
Tuo Ye smiled: "Then you have to exchange something?"
Xu Tianran frowned, thought for a while, and agreed: "How about my story for your story? ”
Tuo Ye shook his head, "What kind of story can you have as a little doll, it's obvious that I'm losing." ”
Xu Tianran's chest was shocking, "One story for another, make sure you don't lose, don't look at my age, I'm also a hero who has walked through the Central Plains and the Northern Mastiff, how can I not have a story in my stomach." ”
Zhu Ziqi couldn't help but hide his face and smile, how could this tone be a bit similar to the big black charcoal.
The butler stood quietly in the corner of the secret room like an invisible man, unnoticed.
Tuo Ye learned from the boy in the green shirt, squatted down, and then sat down slowly, "Then I'll tell a story first, and I'll replace you." ”
Xu Tianran shook his finger and said with a smile: "No, no, this is your friend's story, it can't be counted." ”
Only then did Master Tuo realize that the boy in the green shirt in front of him was not simple, and he only had a loss in business with him, where could he make money.
Tuo Ye laughed, "Could it be that you don't want to know what happened to the Grand Thief?"
Xu Tianran habitually looked up at the sky, but he didn't expect to see that the top of the dark cave was covered with strange formations, took off the dilapidated gourd on his waist, took a big sip of himself, and threw the gourd lightly into the hands of Tuo Ye.
Tuo Ye smiled with relief, raised his head and took a big sip of wine, and exclaimed: "The Taibai Immortal Brew in the Central Plains is really an immortal product in the wine, and I don't know the taste of the Taibai Immortal Brew for many years." ”
Xu Tianran smiled slyly: "Master Tuo, a pot of wine for a story." ”
Tuo Ye frowned, "You little fox, you don't want to eat at all, why do you want to hear my story? If you have a good reason, I can say it." ”
Xu Tianran supported his chin with his hand and said indifferently: "I want to know a little more about the rivers and lakes, and a little more about people's hearts." ”
In a simple sentence, Tuo Ye looked at the narrow eyes of the green shirt as bright as the stars, and the youthfulness of the young man was overflowing, just like himself back then.
Tuo Ye took two wine glasses, threw one to Xu Tianran, and said with a smile: "Drink it with a cup, be more elegant." ”
Xu Tianran said with a smile: "The wine under the story is endless. ”
Tuo Ye cleared his throat, Xu Tianran looked well-behaved, and Tuo Ye said in a deep voice: "Thirty years ago, I was also a little chivalrous and courageous, and I became a thief, robbing the rich and helping the poor. Until one day, I stole a large family's money and was pursued by the officers and soldiers, and when I rode a horse and fled the city, I took a woman's skirt when I saw that the officers and soldiers did not chase after me, so I dismounted and apologized. Unexpectedly, later, those villagers who were deeply favored by me betrayed me, and the government arrested the woman. From then on, I made up my mind not to be a thief anymore and to marry her. Heaven is as people wish, I finally got the heart of a woman, spent three years of life as a fairy couple, accompanied her to eat noodles in the alley, talked and laughed in the snow, and did not hesitate to use the night pearl as marbles to bounce the chickadees. Finally, I decided to marry her, I heard that there is a hosta in Jinling City, which is given to the beloved, but it is inseparable from it forever, I want to steal it, so I said goodbye to her and married her half a month later. I traveled lightly all the way, went to Jinling, and when the hairpin returned, I saw the northern mastiff going south to the border pass, burning, killing and looting, and the people were not living, I rushed back to my hometown non-stop, hoping that she would be well. ”
Speaking of this, Tuo Ye choked up several times.
The two big men glanced at each other, Xu Tianran didn't say anything to comfort Master Tuo, filled two glasses of wine, and said nothing about it.
Tuo Ye regretted: "From now on, I have three major hatreds in my heart, one hates the insatiable untouchables, the second hates that I steal is a thief, and the third hates the northern mastiff, and the northern mastiff will not be destroyed without turning a blind eye." ”
Xu Tianran saw Tuo Ye's clenched fists, his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, oozing a trace of blood, and he probably understood why Tuo Ye was willing to leave the Central Plains alone and go to the Western Regions, fall into darkness in the glorious Broken Leaf City, and single-handedly run the huge dark world.
Darkness has dark rules and order, which is the dark law of Tuoye. What he did wasn't necessarily right, but he had a point.
Zhu Ziqi looked at a green shirt gently, leaned down and rubbed Guan Tong's head, Guan Tong's strong heart had a heartache, it turned out that the worst Tuo Ye in her eyes actually had a sad past, she glanced at the green shirt, then at the white clothes, and finally at the Tuo Ye, she was still young, and she had to see more of the rivers and lakes and the world.
