After pestering for a long time, an old man came out of the alley, Xu Ping'an talked with him a few times, and these children rushed into the pile of sweets with joy.

Xu Ping'an was invited into the center of the alley and served a cup of tea, although the eaves were a little old, and the tea was also ugly, but according to hospitality, this was already very respectful.

And Li Ji took the little demon and distributed clothes and shirts to these children with great enthusiasm.

The old man was holding a cloth bag in his hand, heavy, the size of a palm, and it was full of silver, which was genuinely exchanged from the bank.

"Childe, please accept the old decay, and the great kindness and great virtue will be remembered forever!" he said with tears in his eyes, and immediately bent down his originally rickety back.

Xu Ping'an's eyes were quick, and he quickly supported him, and said with a smile: "Old Liu, you are a respected person in this alley, thank me like this, the kid is going to lose his life." ”

"Forget it, I have a younger sister, she was also an orphan who fled, and her kindness should be a blessing for her. ”

"That being the case... All right. "The old man is not a conformist old Confucian, and it is still relatively straightforward.

It's just that I'm very sorry, just those sweets, clothes, etc., I'm afraid it's an astronomical amount of silver taels.

After chatting a few words, Xu Ping'an drank all the ugly tea casually, and looked at the little demon who was fighting with many children with a smile, her eyes smiled like a crescent moon, and she was jumping up and down holding hands with several little girls.

He suddenly had an idea in his heart, the demon is too young, what belongs to her should be a carefree childhood, is it really good to let her follow her to the north and south?

I am rootless duckweed, and in a few years, the demon will grow into a big girl, what should I do?

After thinking about it, the more he thought about it, the more complicated it became, Xu Ping'an shook his head suddenly, smiled bitterly and stopped thinking about it, let's take one step at a time.

As soon as his eyes turned, he saw a small figure sitting alone in the corner, it was Chen Sheng, who looked like a little adult, and he was sitting on the stone steps with a straight face, and he didn't go over to pick up clothes for food.

It seems that this group of children does not listen to their own words, and their self-esteem is so bad that they swallow their saliva a thousand times and refuse to eat.

Xu Ping'an smiled at the corner of his mouth, and took out a bag of pastries from his arms, mung bean filling, and heard the shopkeeper say that this is a practice circulated in the court, whether it is true or not, I don't know.

Approaching Chen Sheng, the little guy also saw Xu Ping'an, and when he saw him "hum", he turned his head away.

Xu Ping'an leaned down and handed over the pastry: "Eat, grow stronger early, you can protect the people here, and when the time comes, you can improve the alley by earning silver taels." ”

The voice is pure, not high-profile, and approachable.

Chen Sheng glanced at Xu Ping'an, and when he said that, he had a hard time, after experiencing the escape, he had already had a sincere heart, and wanted to protect the alley with food and clothing, and he didn't have to be cheapened by the rich.

"Eat, I promise you, in two years, I will find a way out for you, you can make a name for yourself and earn money. Xu Ping'an seemed to see what he was thinking, and said with a straight face.

Chen Sheng looked at him like a ghost, thinking that this guy was like a roundworm in his stomach.

Long.

Chen Sheng replied in a low voice: "It's a certainty, I was wrong just now." The voice is a little stubborn, but it has a bit of a sense of responsibility.

Xu Ping'an smiled faintly and motioned for him to eat, so Chen Sheng took the pastry and devoured it one by one, his dirty face was exactly the same as the original demon.

Seeing that he secretly hid three or two pieces of pastries in his sleeve robe, Xu Ping'an smiled, this little guy has a sincere heart, if he can guide it correctly, he will be a person who helps the world in the future.

.........

There was laughter and laughter in the alley, as if it was the New Year, the lights were bright, and the adults who returned late also joined in, and thanked Xu Ping'an and the others.

In the end, when it was approaching, night fell, and Xu Ping'an pulled the reluctant demon away.

A child with a bulging belly inhaled a mouthful of snot and shouted loudly: "You'er, you must come back to play in the future!"

"Yes, demon, next time my brother will take you to the river to catch fish to eat!" Chen Sheng stood at the front, patting his chest with a big hand.

“......”

The children came to say goodbye one after another, which made Xu Ping'an a little moved, compared to the beauty of those adults, the farewell words, it is obvious that the children are simpler and purer.

The horse-drawn carriage runs by the West Lake, the night here is as charming as the sound, the sound of piano chords, and the game of lantern riddles make this place even more intoxicating and lively.

In the carriage, the demon shrank in Xu Ping'an's arms and fell asleep early, perhaps too tired, and his breathing made his little nose bubble.

The little face is red and fluttering, and it is cute.

Suddenly, after turning the corner, the noise on the shore of the West Lake still reached his ears through the street, but out of instinct, Xu Ping'an twisted his eyebrows, and there seemed to be some vague killing intent around him.

Li Ji opened his mouth, and said in a solemn voice: "Childe, there are more than a dozen masters in ambush, and there is also the breath of an inner master." ”

"Hmm. Xu Ping'an said lightly, he was not panicked at all, for many years, he had no internal kung fu, and almost all aspects were trained to the extreme by Li Guiyao.

If you don't practice martial arts, Li Guiyao once said that it was because her mother didn't like swords, so she could just keep fit.

He plugged the demon's ears with two balls of cotton wool.

"Woohoo!"

At least forty darts burst out of the air, densely packed with fear, and they were very fast, shooting straight into the carriage, which was a must-kill move.

"Hmph!" Li Ji's air around him was undulating, he kicked backwards, his body was as light as a feather, he directly crossed over to the top of the carriage, reached out with both hands, and used the majestic internal force as a weapon, and exploded.

"Bang Bang!"

One after another flickering darts fell to the ground, although their strength was large, they could break the crown stone gold, but they still couldn't break Li Ji's innate internal force, and the two were not on the same level at all.

The alley was deep and long, and it became more and more deadly.

In the darkness, more than a dozen black-clothed people walked out, their steps were light, and they were also people who often flew off the wall.

They only showed a pair of cold eyes, held a long sword, and bloomed cold flowers in the dark night. Surrounded from all sides, and even in the corner of the eaves, there were one or two killers hanging upside down, with a fierce aura, like a huge tarantula foraging for food.

Li Ji was like a famous man in the rivers and lakes, looking around with his hands on his chest, and the corners of his eyes showed a trace of disdain and coldness, which was completely subverted from the image of that Han Han'er.

His feet stepped on the roof of the carriage and did not move, he could have rushed out to kill indiscriminately, but there was no need for this, Xu Ping'an's safety was his task.

He was still in the carriage, and said with a smile: "You came to kill me, it seems that you have made some preparations, I am afraid that it will not work with a few of you foreign masters, it is completely fatal, the main lord should come out." ”

The sound reverberates, somewhat empty, in stark contrast to the brightly lit shores of the West Lake not far away.
