Chapter 2: The Cold Sword
Ning Changan kept walking towards the southwest corner of the city.
As he walked, the fewer pedestrians became, and at last there were beggars slumped on the ground.
Ning Changan didn't care about these beggars at all, but continued to walk inside, and further inside, those who were slumped on the ground became some old, weak, sick and disabled women, children and old people.
At this time, Ning Changan slowed down, and behind him, there was a bulging gray package. From here, he took food out of the parcel and distributed it to the "beggars" along the way.
Ning Chang'an knew that these so-called beggars were actually involuntarily, they had all fled from other cities to this Du'ancheng, and their hometown was now being invaded by barbarians.
"Thank you, Great Benevolent ......"
"Thank you, Great Benevolent ......"
For these people's gratitude to him, Ning Changan only nodded, and there was not the slightest expression of joy on his face. It seems that such a thing is not worthy of his pleasure.
By the time he reached the end of the road, the package on his body was empty.
Ning Changan looked at the grateful look of these people who were holding the food he had sent, and a sense of emptiness suddenly rose in his heart.
Is it right or wrong to live so confused now?
Today's Ning Changan has just turned sixteen years old, and he is at a time of confusion in his life. He didn't know what he was supposed to do, what he could do?
Ning Changan felt that it was not suitable for him, he could sleep all afternoon in the time he picked up the book and read half a cup of tea, and the quality of sleep was quite high.
Ning Changan felt that this idea was a bit brainless, he had good food and drink at home, why did he go to the rivers and lakes to suffer those tortures, and go to Xuehualou every day to listen to a little song, isn't it fragrant to hug the beauty?
"Perhaps, I was born to be a young master!" In the end, Ning Changan could only come to such a conclusion.
Ning Changan stayed here for a long time, and it wasn't until these people had almost wiped out all the food he brought that he had no intention of leaving. The reason why he did this was because Ning Changan was guarding against the beggars in front of him from robbing the food of these refugees, and those beggars were obviously young men with hands and feet, and he didn't understand why those people had to be beggars?
Is it because of interest? But what is the interest of being a beggar? Ning Changan scratched his head, saying that he could not understand.
Sure enough, they couldn't understand my helplessness in being a beggar, and I couldn't understand their interest in being a beggar.
Ning Changan shook his head and decided not to want to, now what he wants to think about is how to let his father be gentle at night, otherwise he may not be able to get out of bed in good health after half a month.
This was a serious question, and Ning Changan decided to look up for some inspiration.
He looked up, and instead of finding inspiration, he found that the day had changed.
"No, I remember why the sun was gloomy just now, and this posture is going to change the sky......"
Ning Changan didn't dare to stay longer, the Ning family was in the suburbs outside the city, and he was not in this Du'an City, and he had to walk a lot of time when he got out of the city. In order to avoid the upcoming heavy rain, Ning Changan decided to start running now and run all the way home.
In order to get out of the city faster, Ning Changan chose a small alley that was inaccessible. The alleyway is a little dark, and now that the sky has changed, the sky is gloomy, and the alley is even darker, but Ning Changan is not worried at all, and the soles of his feet are as slippery as if they have been smeared with oil.
It's just that not long after Ning Changan stepped into this small alleyway, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked behind him suspiciously.
It was pitch black behind him, except for the light at the entrance, which seemed to have a deep feeling.
"Who?" Ning Changan asked in a low voice, feeling as if he was following someone.
But there was something else in sight other than the light at the entrance.
Could it be his own delusion? Ning Changan didn't believe it, he had always had special confidence in his intuition.
"Could it be...... Is that dirty thing?" Ning Changan gasped, feeling weak in his heart. He took a deep breath, lifted the true qi in the dantian in his body, and prepared to use light power to leave here.
Although he is a gentleman who likes to tease birds and visit the green building, the Great Qi Empire has always advocated martial arts, and Ning Changan has reluctantly squeezed his cultivation into the end of the Nine Grades Realm.
It was precisely because of the fear in his heart that Ning Changan turned around and jumped up, ready to pass through the small alley quickly. But just as he jumped into the air, a white figure suddenly attacked, and a foot hit his back, causing Ning Changan's true qi that had just been lifted to disperse, and Ning Changan had to fall to the ground with a pop.
"Your uncle...... That little rabbit cub sneaked up on the young master, me, are you looking for death?" Ning Changan was angry in his heart at this time, and he didn't care if that guy was dirty or not, so he just opened his mouth and put down the cruel words.
Then, Ning Changan felt a cool breeze coming, and then a cold thing stuck to his face.
What is this?
Ning Changan didn't dare to move his head, he could only turn his eyes desperately in that direction, and then he could see clearly.
It was a sword, a cold long sword, and it was close to his face at this time, and if it went any further, it would be his own throat.
Ning Changan now knows that it is not a ghost that follows him, but a person, a person who is more terrifying than a ghost at this moment. He moved his eyes again to see who dared to do this to him, but when he made a move, the other party's sword shook slightly, which made Ning Changan completely calm down.
He knew that he was now meat on the chopping block, and he was not moving, nor was he moving.
"Who are you? Have we had any holidays?Or, do you want to rob money?" Ning Changan said everything he could think of.
The other party was still silent, which made Ning Changan very distressed. There is no room for relief without communication, is it that I am going to end my life here today?
At this moment, Ning Changan regretted a little that he didn't listen to his father's words and practice martial arts well.
The sword was just attached to it, and the other party was motionless. Ning Changan was very worried, he was afraid that the other party's hand would be completely cold if he trembled, but he also tried a lot of communication, but the other party didn't say a word so far.
The communication was fruitless, but Ning Changan was somewhat sure that the other party should not want to take his life, otherwise he would have been lying here a long time ago.
It's just that if the other party is not trying to take his own life, what is it for? Robbing money? Do you still have money on yourself? Ning Changan found that there seemed to be only the jade pendant that his mother gave him, it was a treasure, and he absolutely couldn't take it out until the moment he was about to die.
Ning Changan, who had figured it out, gently supported his head with his hand to make his lying posture more comfortable, and then just waited for the other party to speak.
The thunder in the sky exploded, the wind gradually rose, and the heavy rain was finally coming......
