The wide street is still lifeless, and a banyan tree on the corner of the street is flourishing and occupies a large area in a tangled manner. But now it is also withered and yellow, and it has lost its vitality.

Withered leaves fell in the wind, drifted away with the wind, or swirled down, scattered in various parts of this lifeless city.

Under the faint sunlight, the ground fell through the withered branches and leaves, leaving dappled light and shadow on the ground. The sight was so bright, but it could not awaken the slightest vitality of the tree.

Li Haoran left the wide street and walked towards an alley, and a noise came from this silent world.

A strong man in a brown shirt carried a full cloth bag in one hand and a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy in the other, scolding and scolding: "What are you little cub stopping me from doing, everyone is going to die anyway, what's wrong with me taking some of their things?"

Although the boy was constantly pushed away by the man, he blushed and quickly rushed over to stop the man, trying to snatch the bag from his hand.

"The Wutong family has such a little food, and if you take her and her grandmother, you will starve to death. ”

"What is the difference between the way they look now and the way they die? Rather than waiting for the gods to kill them, it is better to die first. And what does this have to do with you? hehe...... Do you have a crush on this little girl? If you like it, take it back, anyway, maybe she will die soon, and you should be happy. ”

In the room next to them, a rickety old woman and a dirty little girl watched the fight with blank eyes.

The young man glanced at the two of them and said stubbornly: "Sir said that if you are unjust, you will take a bandit, and a gentleman will attack him without shame! I can't ignore your blatant robbery like this." ”

The man kicked the boy to the ground and said, "What kind of nonsense, it's the bad old man on the street who said it, I'm going to starve to death, and I teach people these big truths all day long." Now they didn't stop me, it's not called robbing, it's called taking, you know? hahaha......"

After saying that, the man was about to leave with the bag, but the boy endured the pain and jumped up and hugged the man's waist.

The man was accustomed to fighting, and when he heard the wind, he turned around and kicked the boy in the chest.

The man said viciously: "Come and stop Lao Tzu again, Lao Tzu will kill you! Anyway, now that the city lord is crazy, the government is scattered, and no one will take care of these things." I'll be fine if I kill you. ”

The young man finally relieved himself, coughed and stood up and said angrily: "The people of the world are in charge of the affairs of the world, the city lord doesn't care, the government doesn't care, I will take care of it! There is always a way of justice in this world, and you people will not be allowed to do evil!"

“......”

The man was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing, and the laughter was full of mockery, as if he had heard the funniest thing in the world, so much so that the man bent down with laughter.

The young man blushed and shouted, "What are you laughing at!"

The man finally stopped laughing, and said mockingly, "I thought you were going to say something." When a monk cultivates the Tao and becomes an immortal, and we mortals live for a hundred years, where is the right path? When a monk casually takes the lives of us mortals, where is the right path? Where is the right way? Where is the right way in this world, and whoever has the big fist is the right way!

The young man opened his mouth, and intuitively felt in his heart that the man was wrong, but he didn't know how to refute it, and waited for a while before saying: "Sir said that everything in this world has a certainty, and it is the biggest coward in the world who only shouts about the injustice of the world like you." If you have the ability, you will make this world what you want it to be. ”

The man smiled: "Now I can do whatever I want, which is what I want." ”

The boy was stunned and realized that he was arguing with a bandit, and wanted him to try to make this world what he liked.

The man smiled proudly when he saw that the boy was in a daze by what he said, and turned to leave with the bag.

The young man hurriedly chased after him and shouted, "You give me something back." ”

The man turned around and smashed a bag on the young man, shouting, "Get out! Don't think I dare to kill you!"

The boy pounced again without saying a word, then was beaten back, and then pounced again.

In the sun, the boy was beaten back again and again, and fell to the ground with a dull sound, which seemed so harsh in this dead city.

The boy spurted out a mouthful of blood and rushed forward again.

The man was a little frightened by the boy's perseverance and the madness in his eyes, kicked the boy away with a fierce kick, turned around and ran forward, scolding and swearing: "Fuck this kid is a madman! ”

The boy struggled to stand up again and looked at the man's distant back, trying to catch up, but he was in pain and unable to catch up.

The young man, who had been beaten until he vomited blood, did not cry out in pain at this time, and tears flowed down his cheeks: "Is it true that this world is already dark, and the right path does not exist?"

The more the boy thought about it, the more sad he became, and he couldn't help but howl and cry.

At that moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and then a panicked voice came: "Hell, why did you kid run in front of me?"

It was the voice of the man who ran away just now, and the man looked around and said even more panicked: "Why am I back again?"

The boy stopped crying and stood up, and turned around just in time to see the man standing not far away with a bag with a panicked face.

A smile bloomed on the tear-stained young man's face, quickly spreading to his entire face, so dazzling in the sunlight.

The boy only felt that his whole body was full of strength and suddenly rushed towards the man, and the man instinctively kicked towards the man.

But somehow, the young man's figure dodged the man's kick in a flash, and threw the man to the ground.

The man struggled to stand up, but somehow the young man who was arbitrarily kneaded by him just now was so strong that he couldn't push him away.

The boy didn't know how to hit someone, so he just snatched the bag from the man's hand and ran away, looking at the man with a wary face.

Instead, the man stood up and looked around in fear, seeing that nothing unusual was running quickly into the distance.

The young man carried the bag into the house, put it beside the old woman and the little girl, and said, "Wutong, you can hide this grain, don't let others rob it again." ”

The old woman and the little girl did not speak.

The young man sighed and said, "Don't be like this, I believe that there is always a righteous way in this world." We still have to live well, and see the right path in this world come, so that all demons and monsters will perish!"

Seeing that the two still didn't react, the young man sighed in his heart and walked out of the house with a slight salute.

"You, are you all right?"

A faint, crisp voice came from behind the boy.

The boy turned around and saw the little girl looking at him with a hint of concern in her eyes.

The boy smiled and shook his head.

The little girl came over and wiped the blood from the corner of the young man's mouth with her sleeve and said, "Don't be so reckless in the future." ”

The boy still smiled and shook his head: "There are always some things that someone has to do. ”

The boy greeted the sun and walked down the alley to the street outside.

In the alley, Li Haoran stood silently in the alley, but no one saw him.
