Three days later, Bai Xiaoqi, who left Baisha Village, walked alone on the avenue, with doubts in his heart, and set off with the original agreement, he was going to find his sister, not asking for results, just asking for an answer in person.

This was the first time Bai Xiaoqi had left Baisha Village, and he was still quite confused, he didn't know where to start.

"Sister, where did you go?"

Bai Xiaoqi missed Bai Jingjing, and the picture of his childhood came to mind, and they were so happy at that time.

And when I grew up, the good times of my childhood have passed, and I can't go back.

Sioux City, the closest capital city to Baisha Village, is also one of the most prosperous cities in the Tang Kingdom.

After walking for two days, Bai Xiaoqi finally walked to a small town twenty miles away from Sioux City, and it was already very late when he arrived in the town.

Bai Xiaoqi walked into the ruined temple and saw that this was a land temple, but he didn't expect that this land temple was actually deserted.

Because judging from the size of this house, this land temple used to have good incense.

"It's a pity, father-in-law of the land, the boy Bai Xiaoqi spent the night here tonight, there are many disturbances, please forgive me. Bai Xiaoqi knelt down and kowtowed to the father-in-law of the land three times.

And at this time, a sneering voice came out: "What to worship, what is there to worship for a broken land, when the incense was at its peak, I didn't see him bless the people, and now it is all broken like this, what else is there to worship." ”

Bai Xiaoqi heard the sound and saw that in the corner of the wall on the right, a beggar with unkempt hair and thatched body was lying there.

As for why Bai Xiaoqi thinks he is a beggar, it is because the clothes on this person's body are all torn, and the most important thing is that there is a broken bowl in front of him, what is this not a beggar?

"You can't say that, you still have to treat the gods respectfully, you can't slander and look down on them like this, after all, it's not the gods who cause the killing. Bai Xiaoqi responded lightly.

The beggar got up and sat up, looked at Bai Xiaoqi and said, "Alas, you are right, it was not the gods who caused the killing, but those inhumane beasts. ”

The beggar seemed to remember some sad past, and smiled bitterly.

Today's Tang State is no longer as powerful as it was at the beginning, neighboring countries are constantly encroaching, the rivers and lakes are even more chaotic, and the pure world cult kills the rivers and lakes and wantonly plunders the people.

The Pure World Cult is very powerful, and the sect leader's martial arts are unfathomable, and no one can stop him among the decent.

"Did you think of something sad?" Bai Xiaoqi could see that the beggar was in a low mood and was in a bad mood, maybe he was the same, and when he saw someone who was in the same bad mood as himself, he felt that he would be kinder.

At least, there is some comfort in the heart, and this is the case with human nature.

The beggar smiled and said, "Is there anything to eat?"

Bai Xiaoqi was stunned, but he was not stingy, and took out the big biscuit food from the burden on his shoulders.

The beggar walked up to Bai Xiaoqi, then sat down and took the big cake in Bai Xiaoqi's hand, and he said while eating, "Do you know what happened here before?"

Bai Xiaoqi shook his head and said, "I'm not from here, how do I know." ”

"Ten years ago, there was a family near the Land Temple, a wealthy businessman, and the family lived a happy life, but suddenly one day disaster struck, and that night ........."

The beggar stopped when he said this, Bai Xiaoqi thought that he was sad and couldn't go on, but the beggar turned his head and said, "Is there any water?" ”

"Ugh....... Yes, yes, yes. ”

Bai Xiaoqi replied stunned, took out the water bag and handed it to the beggar, who opened the water bag and put it on his mouth and poured it violently.

Bai Xiaoqi was stupid, and he was a little angry in his heart, he didn't want this water bag anymore.

"That night, a group of men came in through the gate, carrying knives and swords, and slaughtered the whole family, leaving no one behind, not one ........."

The beggar's eyes were bloodshot at the moment, and there was hatred in his eyes.

"Then how did you survive?" Bai Xiaoqi suddenly asked.

The beggar was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "That night a child was playful and hid, and when the child appeared again, he saw dead people all over the ground, and the child was frightened, and from then on the child begged for a living." ”

Bai Xiaoqi smiled slightly, he suddenly felt that this beggar was unusual, and his speech was also different from ordinary people.

"Why are you sad?" asked the beggar this time.

Bai Xiaoqi was surprised, and then smiled with the same bitterness and said: "Once upon a time, a child who was still in swaddling clothes was picked up by a kind couple, and since then the child has a home and a playmate, he has liked the sister next door since he was a child, but the sister next door suddenly disappeared overnight.........."

"So, you came out to look for the sister next door?" asked the beggar.

Bai Xiaoqi said: "Yes, she said that I would marry her, but she broke her promise, she wanted me to forget her, but I don't believe it with just one letter, and I don't want to believe it, I want to listen to her tell me in person." ”

The beggar looked at Bai Xiaoqi, and Bai Xiaoqi looked at the beggar, and at this moment they felt as if they were brothers who had been separated for many years.

Some people don't need to know each other for many years, they are confidants and friends the moment they meet.

"Maybe you're worse than me. The beggar said suddenly.

"You're still miserable. Bai Xiaoqi also responded.

"No, no, no, you're miserable, I sympathize with you. The beggar said.

Bai Xiaoqi shook his head and said, "I also sympathize with you, you are much worse than me." ”

At the end of the sentence, both gave each other a look of disdain.

"Thank you for the flatbread, my name is rags. The beggar got up and clenched his fists and performed the salute of the rivers and lakes.

Bai Xiaoqi also learned to hug his fists in rags: "Bai Xiaoqi, I'm very happy to meet Brother Ragged." ”

Ragged clothes laughed, Bai Xiaoqi also laughed, the two hugged for a while, and then Bai Xiaoqi realized that the ragged guy was dirty.

However, Bai Xiaoqi won't care about these at this moment.

"Brother Bai, you and I hit it off at first sight, why don't you and I marry as brothers of the opposite sex today?" ragged and suddenly suggested.

Bai Xiaoqi smiled and said: "I can't ask for it, I have no playmates since I was a child, except for my sister, no one else has contact with me, today I am fortunate to know Brother Po, it is a blessing, if I can worship as a brother, it is really my honor." ”

Ragged clothes laughed and said, "Don't be so crepe, since you agree, then let's bow down." ”

Bai Xiaoqi nodded, and the two walked out of the broken temple, facing the bright moon in the sky, and the two knelt down at the same time.

"The sky is above, the bright moon can be seen, and I am in rags. ”

"The sky is above, the bright moon can be seen, I am Bai Xiaoqi. ”

"Here we worship as brothers, not to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day. ”

The two said in unison, kowtowed, bowed to heaven, and swore that they would be brothers from now on.

"I'm eighteen years old, what about you, Brother Bai?"

"Nineteen years old. ”

"Then you are the eldest brother, the eldest brother is on top, and the younger brother is worshipped. The rags laughed, and then bowed respectfully to Bai Xiaoqi.

"Brother Xian, please get up. Bai Xiaoqi picked up his rags.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

An hour later, beside the fire, ragged clothes asked, "Big brother, where are you going to find your sister-in-law?"

Bai Xiaoqi said bitterly: "I don't know, I have no clue, I haven't heard from her for fifteen years, and I don't know where to find her." ”

After hearing this, Ragged sighed heavily.

Bai Xiaoqi was also depressed.
