Chapter 2, Section 43 Disputes in the Rivers and Lakes
In the lobby on the first floor, there were seven or eight men in Tsing Yi, who were aggressively surrounding the old man in charge. The old man nodded and apologized vigorously. Among the Tsing Yi men was a man in his forties, wearing a brown and blue silk coat, with a slightly fat body, who looked to be the head of the group. He was squinting his eyes and watching with interest as a tall, lanky subordinate rudely grabbed the old man who was the shopkeeper.
"These people are so bad, so unreasonable. You Boyun was a little angry, tightened the long sword in his hand, and prepared to go downstairs.
At this time, they heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs, and Xiao Sheng and You Boyun looked up to see that a middle-aged man with two children walked slowly downstairs. The man looked full of vicissitudes, his hair was already half-white in his thirties, he was wearing a white-washed cotton suit, straw sandals on his feet, his hair was tied with straw rope as a ponytail, hanging down the back of his head in a dashing manner, and he carried a pitch-black sword on his back. Two children, one seven or eight years old, the other only two or three years old, their clothes were very old and clean, the older ones had a jade flute on their back belt, and the smaller ones still had tear stains on their faces.
The man was holding a child in one hand, and as he walked through the corridor on the second floor, he paused, glanced sharply at the hiding place of Xiao Sheng and You Boyun, and then walked straight down the lobby with a kind smile.
The family of the old man who was the innkeeper had heard the sound and walked out of the back hall, and the tall and thin man let go of the old man. The old man's round face turned red, and he stroked it with his hand and rushed over to hold his three seeds and said, "It's okay, it's okay, grandpa is fine." ”
"Boss, trouble. The man in the power suit holding the child ignored the group of menacing people in Tsing Yi and walked to the old man by himself, "Can you eat on credit first? My little son is really hungry." After saying that, he looked down at the little boy who was holding him in his right hand, and the little boy was looking at him with tears in his eyes and pity. The man in the suit smiled softly at the child, and then pulled out the long Xiao on the waist of the other boy with his left hand, "I mortgage this thing here, and I will definitely take the money to get it in half a month, how about it?"
The older little boy held his mouth and complained to his younger brother: "Hmph, I know how to cry, and now I can't cry my mother's only thing." The younger boy immediately buried his head in his father's lap and began to sob again.
The old woman of the inn couldn't stand it anymore, so she gently took the hand of the crying little boy and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, oops, it's evil, it's time to be hungry, come, mother-in-law will take you to eat." ”
But the little boy did not go, and tugged at his father's trousers, and looked at him with inquiring and begging eyes.
"Don't worry, my mother-in-law doesn't charge money, you can eat as much as you want. The old woman hurriedly comforted the child, and seemed to complain to the man, "How can the child be hungry like this, his mother should know how distressed she should be." ”
The middle-aged man's peaceful face was flushed, and he was just about to speak, when he heard a voice next to him say: "This jade flute is good, sell it to me, I'll give it to you... Well, out of five taels of broken silver. ”
It was the man in green silk who spoke that was blessed. The man in the suit didn't even look at him, and said coldly: "Not for sale." ”
"Ten taels, no, twenty taels!"
The man in the suit didn't answer him, but smiled contemptuously, "Isn't it a shame for so many of you to bully an old man?"
The man in green silk clothes suddenly became ugly, gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, it seems that we have to make another order today." As he spoke, he suddenly raised his foot and kicked it on the man's ankle.
The man in the suit snorted coldly in his nose, and his body did not move at all.
"Ah~, go on!" shouted the man in green silk. The group of people in Tsing Yi pulled out their weapons from behind them and rushed forward with a shout.
The man in the power suit stood in place, letting the group of people go back and forth with swords, and only used a pair of flesh fists to point to the east and west. The group of people in Tsing Yi didn't even touch a single piece of the man's hair, but they had been punched several times.
"Boom, boom, boom" three strings. Hearing this, the man in the suit bent down sharply to dodge. Several iron arrows glowing with purple light whizzed past his bundled hair, "click, click, click" into the wooden wall opposite.
"Despicable!" the man in the suit looked angrily at the man in the green silk coat who was in the lead.
"Hmph, if you are interested, you will obediently put down the sword and jade flute, and then cut off your own arm, uncle, I may be able to bypass this little bastard. As he spoke, the man in the green silk shirt gently rubbed a sharp dagger back and forth against the larger boy's face and neck. Just now, when he was hiding from the hidden weapon of the man in a strong pretend, he actually used a knife to take a child hostage.
"Okay!" the man in the suit looked at him with blazing eyes, "I'll give you the sword and Yuxiao, don't hurt the child." As he spoke, he slowly untied the black sword on his back and put it on the floor with Yu Xiao.
"And the arms?" the man in green silk was triumphant.
"No, Daddy, leave me alone, kill them. The kidnapped boy was not scared at all, struggling to break free from the grip of the man in Tsing Yi.
"What to move, little mongrel. The cold tip of the man in the green silk coat instantly pierced the little boy's cheek, and bright red blood slid down his pink face.
"Okay, I'll kill myself!" the man in the suit didn't hesitate any longer, and lifted his left elbow to smash it against the pillar next to him.
Hearing a miserable cry of "ahh There is a copper dart on his right wrist and on the side of his left leg, and the style of the copper dart is exactly what he is used to. You Boyun also flew up and grabbed it, protecting the kidnapped little boy behind him, and then pointed his long sword at the rest of the minions, and said majestically: "Who else wants to try?"
The group of people in Tsing Yi was not the opponent of the man in the strong suit, seeing that the man still had helpers, and his skills were not weak, where did he dare to make a mistake, they were silent, and they only swarmed up to help the man in green silk clothes.
Xiao Sheng had already shown mercy to his subordinates just now, and he didn't make a heavy hand, and the man in green silk quickly struggled to stand up. "Good, good, good, actually sneak up on your grandfather, oops... You... You guys wait for me..."After saying that, surrounded by all his subordinates, he fled from the inn in embarrassment.
You Boyun wanted to chase it, but was stopped by the man in the suit and the child.
"Thank you for your help. The man in the suit bowed his hand to the child and You Boyun.
"It's okay, those guys are so disgusting. You Boyun said unsatisfactorily: "That... When the road is uneven, it is appropriate to draw a sword to help. ”
Xiaosheng said: "In Xia Xiaosheng, this is a friend I met on the road, her name is... You Boji. ”
The man in the suit saluted again: "This grace Geng has written it down, and it will be reported in the future." As he spoke, he picked up the long sword on the ground and Yu Xiao and redressed on his body, and then walked to his eldest son's side.
The bleeding on the boy's face had stopped, leaving only a trail of dark red blood like an earthworm.
"Does it hurt?" the man asked.
"It doesn't hurt!" the little boy raised his head firmly and looked his father in the eye.
"Good boy. The man smiled reassuringly, then crouched down to gently wipe the blood from his face with his sleeve.
At this time, the little boy named Sanzi quickly locked the door of the inn.
"It's okay, they're not coming back. "The Way of Death.
Sanzi's breathing was a little short, and he put his back on the door panel, looked at the woman who had just delivered the food, and said, "I saw that shadow again..."
The woman said, "Talking nonsense again, see if your father comes back and won't hammer you." ”
Sanzi just wanted to refute, but was robbed by the woman and said: "So many of us haven't seen anything, as long as you can, you often have nothing to do, hurry up and go back to the back hall to wash the dishes." ”
The old woman also immediately laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay, this kid likes to tell some lies and play around." Then he said to Sanzi: "First bring some food to these two little brothers, and then take the firefly lantern to the room of the three guest officers." ”
Sanzi promised on his lips, but his body did not move at all, and he didn't seem to have come back to his senses.
"If you don't mind, come up and have a few drinks. Lin Feng's voice came from upstairs.
"Lin... Brother Sang, you're here too. You Boyun swallowed Lin Feng's name stiffly, "I also wanted to invite them up to eat something and talk together."
"Who is this?" Geng Buqu looked at Lin Feng suspiciously.
Xiao Sheng hurriedly said: "This is also a traveler we are traveling with, his name is Sang Jiayi. ”
Geng Buqu saluted and said: "It's okay, thanks to a few faces, I won't shirk." ”
You Boyun then led the way in front, but Xiao Sheng grabbed Lin Feng in the back and whispered: "Is this appropriate, in case..."
Lin Feng said: "I think it's no problem, he still has two children, it is absolutely impossible for him to be the king of the Ao Ling League." ”
"I don't suspect that he is a spy, but I am afraid that it will be bad for him and the child. ”
"Unfavorable?" Lin Feng quickly reacted, "Hmm... You're right, we're not in a good situation, if the King of the Ao Ling League appears, it will inevitably implicate them, so let's give him some silver taels..."
I heard Geng Buqu say to himself in a loud voice: "How can my generation be the one who is greedy for life and afraid of death, hey, what about those two benevolent brothers just now, why don't you come to drink quickly." ”
Lin Feng and Xiao Sheng smiled awkwardly, stopped talking, and went back to the house directly.
