Chapter 1 Someone Watching the Play
"Old ...... Boss...... Two steamed buns. ”
On the winter street, people come and go, bustling, this sound, like the hot breath that accompanies the moment the master speaks, compared with the cold monsters all over the world, the owner who speaks is like a worm that will freeze to death at any time.
As soon as Bai Xiaoxin opened his mouth, he was caught off guard, and a ball of wind poured directly into his mouth, causing his already dry throat to tingle for a while.
The wind blew and he opened his eyes.
He put his bruised hands tremblingly into the cuffs that were full of holes and leaks, and the long, gray-black nails accidentally scratched the back of his hand that he couldn't count how many times the skin had been broken, and how many times the skin had grown. It's just that the cold wind has long deprived him of most of the sensation in his hands, and he can't feel the pain on the back of his hands at all, all he can do is the dull movements that he keeps repeating most of the time-
Pinch the copper plate and buy steamed buns.
The boss lifted the lid of the bamboo cage that was steaming a little, and a white mist couldn't wait to emerge, and the nod was blown away by the cold wind. He quickly put a yellowish white cloth on his shoulders, put his hands in his pockets, and stomped his feet as he watched with disdain as the thin little beggar struggled to pull out the money.
"Okay, no!" the boss scolded, tilting his head impatiently.
Bai Xiaoxin opened his mouth tremblingly, trying to say something more, but as soon as the mosquito-like sound came out, he was drowned in the air by the cold wind that split the sky.
Struggling to control his stiff fingers and make a bending motion, Bai Xiaoxin lowered his head and closed his eyes, and his dirty and loose wet hair shook twice with his movements.
"Stinky beggar, do you have any money!" Looking at Bai Xiaoxin's slow movements, the boss's patience had reached the limit, the muscles on his face were twisted together, and he didn't care about the eyes of other people on the road, and shouted, "If you don't have money, continue to pick up rags, otherwise you will take the bowl and go to other people's homes to turn into fate, don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me, who to show it!"
"I-" Bai Xiaoxin opened her chapped lips-
"Hey, the ...... surnamed Bai" There was a loud shout from far and near, and the boss, who was glaring at Bai Xiaoxin viciously, instinctively looked towards the source of the sound, and his scalp suddenly went numb.
"You bastard came here! I said! Where did you get the money to go to the Mingfeng Inn for a meal? No wonder Liu Qi was stunned and made you disappear!"
"Hmph, boss, get him quickly! Avenge Daqian 2000!"
"Dumbfounded, Bai Xiaoxin, you are really careful, fortunately, the boss has been fooled many times, this time let's chase in the opposite direction!"
"You ......" Bai Xiaoxin said a word, and was immediately surrounded by a group of ragged little beggars.
"It's you......"
"Okay, a bunch of rabbit cubs, give me peace!" A beggar who seemed to be the leader shouted, and suddenly made a group of small beggars who accused Bai Xiaoxin of his crimes slowly quiet down.
"And you, what nonsense are you, little radish head, what do you call me to be a pawn many times!" The leading beggar slapped the little beggar who was so excited that he forgot to maintain the dignity of the boss to the ground, with a fierce face.
All that was left in the air was the sound of the little beggars' breathing, which the little beggars were trying to control, and the incessant sound of the cold wind.
The boss who sold steamed buns had never seen this meeting, and his hands were in his pockets, dumbfounded.
The little beggar who had been knocked down struggled to pick up the hard snow with both hands, and finally stood up with ease. He shrank his head, put his bruised hands behind his back, and trembled with the other little beggars, not daring to look at the leading beggar again.
In this dynasty, except for listening to small songs and watching plays, which can be used for pastime to let the people have a little fun, most people are still running for life, similar to a battle that is about to be staged on the street today, no less than a good show.
Thinking about it, it will even be a little more real and different than the famous Hua Dan who is babbling in his voice.
Without saying a word, Bai Xiaoxin stretched out his hand from the tattered cuffs, hugged his arm tightly, and slowly swept the faces of the small people in front of him, staying on the beaten little beggar for a little longer, but finally left his gaze to the highest beggar's head-
"You ...... Think-"
"Five days ago, you were the one who went to our territory to steal, four days ago, you were the one who injured Daqian and Erqian, who were guarding the food, and three days ago, you were the one who made us all mistakenly think we were thieves...... Aren't you very good at cheating, stealing, and robbing!?
The leading beggar, who was a few heads taller than Bai Xiaoxin, sneered, and cut off Bai Xiaoxin's words at once, with a bit of arrogance and calmness on his dirty face that came from nowhere. He learned to see a big man drop something he didn't know how long ago, and threw the broken bowl that he had been holding in his hand at Bai Xiaoxin-
Throw the bowl for the number!
The bowl fell to pieces all of a sudden, and a few fragments scratched Bai Xiaoxin's bamboo calf, which suddenly made his dirty calf that he couldn't see its true color and slowly stained some marks.
On the white recessed snow, on the edges of the earthy yellow porcelain tiles, a few drops were soaked in the brilliant red of the snow, and a few drops of elongated juice fell down.
Swarm and attack!
When the riot broke out, some stalls were inevitably affected, and scattered applause was mixed in the noise, with shouts and scolding, wailing, and ...... Laughter.
This is Chuxian, a small remote city in the north of Lingyue Country, surrounded by mountains, and it is not a rich place. It is far away from Shangjing, the prosperous capital city of Lingyue, and it can be said that the mountains are high and the rivers are far away. However, the only place that can overshadow Uekyo ...... There are few adults.
The water in the Bailing River had frozen for a few months before. By now, it was covered with a thick layer of snow, and when you stepped into it, the snow was deep enough to bury an adult's knee.
On the Bailing River, on the gray stone bridge, on the head of the green beast - a hand.
There are people on the street, people watching plays, there are people on the bridge, people are watching plays.
"Madam," said the servant, who stood three paces away from the master of the jade hand, and said respectfully, "the car is ready, and the pastries and fabrics you want are ready, and you can get on the car at any time." ”
"Just wait. The loose tone, the gentle voice, is mixed with the unquestionable majesty of being the master for a long time.
"Yes," said the servant, bowing his head, "but, ma'am, the lord has sent someone to urge him." ”
......
