Wengcheng is a small town, probably the most lively is the market at the city gate, like the nearby villages of ten miles and eight miles, most of them will come to Wengcheng early in the morning to catch the market, until it is close to dark, the main reason is because it is really difficult to catch up when the road is dark, otherwise it can still suffer a few more hours.

Among them, there was a man in the stall, who looked to be in his twenties, with a short beard on his chin, and he saw that it was freezing in the cold, and this man's beard was covered with ice, but he still bare his chest, as if he was not afraid of the cold.

He knocked on the melon seeds, and led the two younger brothers behind him, sitting on the bench with Erlang's legs crossed, and the appearance of the hanging Lang Langdang, almost everyone who saw him could recognize who he was.

The young man's name is Bian Qu, he is a native of this urn city, his parents died in the war between the Southern Shang and Northern Qi Dynasty, and he depended on his grandfather for his life, and his life was not too poor, after all, he had a pension issued by the imperial court, although it was meager, but he could barely survive.

So Bian Qu, who has no father's pain and no mother's love since he was a child, lacks discipline, and has never read a book, and when he was nine years old, he recognized the gangster leader as his eldest brother, and stole money from his family and handed it over to others, in his words, this is the scenery.

So from then on, Bian Qu was messing around outside all day long, stealing chickens and dogs, fighting and fighting, and many people came to the door and reasoned with Grandpa Bian, but he lost a lot of money.

Although Bian Quren is a bastard, he is still very filial to his grandfather, and every time he goes home in trouble, he obediently kneels down and lets his grandfather beat him with that cane.

Grandpa Bian is old, so naturally he can't hurt him, but he just cries while beating, calling the names of Bian Qu's parents, saying that he can't stand them and didn't teach the child well.

Every time Bian Qu listened, his tears flowed, but after that, he still brushed how he wanted, and he didn't learn any skills, and he still ate and drank with those fox friends and dogs.

When Lili came to this urn city three years ago, Bian Qu had never seen such a beautiful and delicate girl as Lili in such a small place, so he often went to talk to Lili, which was actually teasing.

Lili is disgusted with this kind of gangster from the bottom of his heart, and he is respectful and disrespectful, and he doesn't care about him at all.

Although Bian Qu himself knew what he was, he was so disgusted by Lili, and he was not happy, so he began to say bad things about Lili with those "people in the same way", and gradually became more and more serious.

Although Lili ignored them and didn't say anything, these words drifted to the grandmother next door to Lili, and the grandmother couldn't sit still, so she went to Grandpa Bian's door for a good meal.

However, Bian Qu didn't restrain it, after all, his mouth grew on him, didn't he?

Now he is in his twenties, he doesn't know any skills, and he has only recently done some serious things, and he sells all kinds of things, that is, he is messing around.

At this time, Lili walked on the way to Wengcheng and reacted, and thanked Luo Liangqiu many times for saving his life, but Luo Liangqiu just laughed it off, and didn't make any fuss about it.

Everyone came down from the bend mountain, and saw the market on this side of the urn city from a distance, and also saw that the urn city has a low city wall, and there are only two wooden fences at the entrance, even if it is the gate of the urn city.

Looking at the extremely simple city gate from afar, they had already walked to the market, and Bian Qu saw it from afar.

Many people are greeting Lili, and Lili actually knows these people, and they can call them by name and salute them one by one.

In the conversation on the road, Lili was gradually able to let go, and he was no longer so shy, which was also thanks to Luo Liangqiu's oily tone, and then Jiujiu asked about business.

I only heard him ask Li Li's door: "Lili girl, since you are from this urn city, what strange events have happened recently, about three months?"

When Li Li heard this, he pondered for a while, you must know that this urn city is also considered a poor and remote country, there is only Wan'er Mountain in the mountain, and there is only water in the well if you want water, seeing Luo Liangqiu and others with bright clothes and extraordinary conversation, at first glance, they are noble people, naturally it is impossible to play in such a small place, right?

So at this time, he carefully thought about the recent events in Wengcheng, and asked, "I don't know what the ninth prince asked specifically?"

So Jiujiu thought for a while, didn't mention the dry corpse, just said that it was a murder of a dead person, and then saw Lili shake her head, she said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I really haven't heard of these things...... Why don't I go and ask somebody?"

For not being able to help her benefactor, Lili seemed to be a little anxious, and Luo Liangqiu looked at her and had already begun to rub the corners of her clothes with her hands.

So Luo Liangqiu smiled and said, "How dare you bother to leave the girl," then he turned his head and whispered to Jiujiu, "A case like this really happened in Wengcheng, and most of the yamen will also suppress the matter first, after all, the corpse or something, it is indeed too weird, it will cause a riot, and the Qingsang City, Liucheng or something that Di Zhutou said before, didn't they all take such measures." ”

Shen Ye next to him snorted coldly when he heard what he said, and said: "You are really talking on paper, don't you look at how big this urn city is? If something happens to someone's family, it will be spread ten or ten hundred times, and everyone will know about it in a few hours? ”

Luo Liangqiu raised his eyebrows, thinking that it was indeed this reason, so he thought of another question: "Then since there is no problem with Wengcheng, why are you still staying here?"

Lili's heart tightened when he heard this, and then Jiujiu said beside him: "You can't just close the coffin so simply, besides, Di Ao hasn't come yet, so I still have to stay here for two days to see if I can make any new discoveries, after all, this is the only place that Di Ao hasn't been to in Chenya County." ”

Luo Liangqiu nodded, and then said to Lili with a smile: "Lili girl, in this urn city, I don't know where there is an inn to live in?"

Lili breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that they were going to stay, and then said: "Wengcheng is too small, and there are usually no outsiders coming, so naturally no one opens an inn......

Luo Liangqiu gasped and looked at the heavy snow, at this time the sky was getting dark, and he was also worried, but at this time, Lili continued: "But just in case, two years ago, the city raised funds to build a guest house, but it can accommodate people." ”

Luo Liangqiu's face turned from cloudy to sunny, is this the road to the sky? was overjoyed, and wanted to say something, but was poured a basin of cold water by Lili's words: "But, as I said before, there are really few people in Wengcheng, so the guest house has been idle, and no one burns firewood when it's cold, if you move in directly, it is estimated that it is better to sleep on the streets......

Luo Liangqiu's smiling face froze directly: "It's really twists and turns to leave the girl to speak......

Lili hurriedly waved his hand, a little at a loss, only to hear Luo Liangqiu continue: "It's okay, we are all frost-resistant, as long as there is a place to shelter from the wind, we will be content." ”

"But Miss Shen is so young, I'm afraid I can't stand it......" Lili said, glanced at Shen Liuyue who was leaning next to Luo Liangqiu, lowered his head, rubbed the corners of his clothes, and said in a low voice: "I mean, in fact, I can live in my house...... It's warmer than the guest house......"

This was the only way she could repay her benefactor.

Luo Liangqiu became happy again when he heard this, and was about to thank him, but a strange man's voice next to him disturbed his thoughts.

"Yo, isn't this the 'Bing Qing Yujie' divorced girl? What did you just say?"

Luo Liangqiu followed the sound and saw a man walking next to him, it was Bian Qu.

He held a handful of melon seeds in his hand, spit the skin of the melon seeds on the ground at will, and the two little brothers behind him also followed.

He walked up to Luo Liangqiu and the others, and continued, "Yo, let them live in your house?"

Then Bian Qu glanced at Luo Liangqiu a few times, and smiled at the little brother thief next to him: "No wonder the girl looks down on us, people have a very high vision, you see, isn't this just a catch?

As he spoke, the three of them leaned back, laughing as exaggerated as they were, and they looked like ruffians.

Luo Liangqiu also laughed when he saw it, he was suddenly interrupted by this ruffian, and at this time, he only felt that the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, which made his chest feel a little stuffy.

In other words, he was a little angry.

Lili saw the ruffian say such bastard words, she trembled with anger, her hand rubbing the corner of her clothes clenched into a fist, a little trembling, she said angrily: "Why do you slander my innocence?"

"What are you pretending to be pitiful? Don't you just rely on your appearance to be a little good-looking, thinking about getting a rich man into someone's backyard, I've seen a lot of women like you. Saying that, the guy reached out and twisted the ice ballast on his chin and beard, glanced at Shen Liuyue, and said with a smile, "Don't you see this young lady who is following next to this son-in-law, can you really be seen by others?"

Can that woman stand such an insult?But Lili's clenched hand slowly let go, she lowered her head, and said to Luo Liangqiu, "Let's go, Master Luo." ”

Li's voice trembled slightly, revealing a bit of grievance.

Bian Qu still didn't give up, smacked his lips, and continued: "Tut, are you in such a hurry to sleep with someone, come on, then I won't disturb this Luo Gongzi's Yaxing, and go first." ”

As he spoke, Bian Qu turned around and was about to leave, when a voice came.

"Did I let you go?"

Bian Qu turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was the young man in white.

He looked at this boy brother and frowned, and then smiled: "What, you are trying to stand up for your new acquaintance?"

Luo Liangqiu looked at him with a smile, and didn't answer his words, but asked, "This mouth is really unclean, and I don't know what Your Excellency calls it?"

Bian Qu stopped when he heard this, walked back, and was not afraid, and reported to his home: "My name is Bian Qu, how is it?"

Luo Liangqiu smiled slightly, brushed his sleeves and said, "Then do you know who I am?"

Bian Qu raised his eyebrows, thinking that this person's speech was really interesting, so he smiled and said, "Even if you are the emperor Laozi, what can you do to me?"

Luo Liangqiu smiled: "You really don't know how thick the sky is, and you dare to say anything." ”

"So, I'm going to teach you a lesson today. ”

"Yo he?" Bian Qu smiled, looked Luo Liangqiu's figure up and down for a while, and then saw the gray-clothed man holding a sword beside him, looking at himself, he thought that this was probably the dart master invited by those rich people, so he said: "If you are a man, do you dare to fight the two of you alone? ”

Looking at his expression, he is not afraid of death.

Luo Liangqiu had already thought about tearing off this person's left hand, making him hurt for a while, and then picking him up and teaching him a lesson, so he smiled and said, "That's what I mean." ”

"I'm a guy like you, and I can fight a hundred!"

After saying such heroic words, Bian Qu had already rolled up his sleeves and was about to do a big job.

Li Li saw that the two were about to fight, but she knew that Bian Qu's fight was a dead hand, if the benefactor had an accident because of herself, what should she do at that time?

So she prepared to stop the fight.

At this moment, I saw a crutch running towards Bian Qu, and it fell on Bian Qu with a snap, Bian Qu screamed in pain, and when he looked back, he saw an old man with white hair panting, as if he had exhausted his strength with the blow just now, but he still had the strength to raise his finger and point at Bian Qu.

The old man scolded: "You stinky boy! Come and make trouble for the girl who left the house again! Hurry up and close the stall and get back to me!"

Seeing that Grandpa Bian was angry, the two little brothers beside Bian Qu had already run away, leaving Bian Qu alone with his head hanging and nodding yes, and then fled in disgrace, but he didn't know that he had escaped.

Grandpa Bian looked at the back of his grandson, sighed helplessly, turned his head to Lili and said: "Girl, it's all my fault for being indisciplinary, if he says anything ugly, I can only beg you not to take it to heart, old man, I will clean him up!"

Li Li smiled and supported the old man, and said softly: "Grandpa Bian, don't worry, I'm fine." ”

Speaking of this girl who had just turned twenty, she paused and said softly: "I have long been used to it......"

This voice is very small, maybe the old man in his old age can't hear it clearly, but Luo Liangqiu can hear it clearly.

He was silent for a moment, and asked, "Lili girl, they usually bully you like this?" I wonder how you got here......

Lili Ha let out a breath of white air, thought about the three years he had been in this urn city, smiled reluctantly, and muttered: "It's all up to the neighbors to help, and the patience is over." ”

Luo Liangqiu glanced at Lili, he could even empathize with her sad grievances, looked at the moon that had risen, and sighed:

"I'm so pitiful. ”

(The "I see pity" here is not the normal meaning, I think it is quite meaningful, so I used it, and the "pity" here is the "pity" of "pity".) ）
