This Jiayuan City is run through by a source river from north to south, dividing Jiayuan City into two, and is divided into four major districts according to the direction, of which the southwest and northeast districts are rich merchant districts, the southeast district is the location of dignitaries and official yamen, and the northwest district where Shen Yun lives is the slum area.

Among them, the southwest area is controlled by the money gang, mainly engaged in darts and the like, so there is also a martial arts dojo in the southwest area, Guo Long's favorite thing is to go to the martial arts dojo to steal boxing moves, because Guo Long's dream is to be a general.

In the past two or three years, I have learned a lot of things. Although his skills are average, he is also very strong.

The Northeast District is controlled by the Yaowang Gang, mainly dealing in all kinds of medicinal materials, and there is a large private school in the Northeast District, among which there is an old Mr. Liu, who is said to have been a showman, where he taught some children of the Yaowang Gang to learn to read and write.

Shen Yun's dream is to win the top prize, ride a big horse and tie a big red flower, and boast on the street. So I often go to the neighborhood of the private school yard to steal school. In the past three years, I have also learned a lot of words.

However, Shen Yun and Guo Long are both children, and they often run to the dojo together or go to private schools together, and it is normal for them not to go at all.

In the southeast district, there is the largest gang in Jiayuan City, which is the Qiqiao Gang, and the two brothers can't figure out what the Qiqiao Gang does, but they only know that the Qiqiao Gang is the most powerful, and even the porch archway is the tallest.

The gangs in the northwest slums are the most complex, with several small gangs of all sizes, and Shen Yun and Guo Long belong to one of the small gangs called the Green Snake Gang.

Xu Heitou is a small leader of the Green Snake Gang, of course, he can only call out in private, and he has to call Boss Xu on the scene.

Originally, Guo Long still had a bit of face in front of Xu Heitou, even if Shen Yun couldn't complete the task, it would be enough to persuade a few words. But recently, it is obvious that Lao Xu's anger is too great, and even Guo Long has been slapped several times.

When you become a general or get the top prize, you have a dream, you can't take it seriously, and joining a big gang is the biggest ideal of the brothers.

Every year, the major gangs recruit new disciples, but unfortunately his brothers will be kicked out when they go. This year, Guo Long even got two sets of decent robes, wearing them to blend in with the Tangram Gang, but he didn't succeed, only causing bursts of laughter and abuse.

This made the brothers sad and hesitant.

At this time, there was a "squeak", Guo Long pushed open the wooden door, and said with a smile, "Whew, good luck, get up and eat breakfast." ”

The soft sunlight outside the door pours into the earthen house.

"Brother Long, what's delicious today?" Shen Yun hurriedly got up when he heard this, he naturally understood what it meant to be lucky, Zhang Luo's breakfast was nothing more than begging or stealing.

If you're unlucky, you'll have to spend copper money to buy it.

"Hey, four steamed buns. ”

Shen Yun was grumbling with hunger, grabbed the steaming steamed buns in the lotus leaf bag, stuffed them into his mouth, and muttered vaguely: "I'm dying of hunger, why did I go for so long." ”

"I happened to meet Sister Ruyu and delayed for a while. Guo Long nibbled on the steamed bun and said casually.

When Shen Yun heard this, as if he had been shocked, he immediately stopped chewing and looked at the steamed bun in his hand blankly.

"Don't look at it, she didn't give it. Guo Long smiled narrowly.

Shen Yun breathed a sigh of relief and laughed dryly.

One steamed bun quickly went down to his stomach, feeling much more comfortable, he burped, grabbed the second steamed bun, and said softly: "Brother Long, I want to go to the West District early." ”

The West District is the code name of the brothers, Guo Long tacitly knew it, and was slightly stunned when he heard the words: "When do you want to go?"

"If you want me to tell me, I'll leave right today. Shen Yun sneered and continued to deal with steamed buns.

"Why don't you take care of your injuries for a few more days?" Guo Long frowned slightly.

"I have to pay the money the day after tomorrow, and the copper money is not enough...... In case of another kick. Shen Yun's face was full of indignation.

"Copper coins, I can think of ideas. ”

Shen Yun shook his head slightly, but thought in his heart, doesn't Brother Long want to go? Then do you want to go alone? As long as no one informs you, it's okay to leave the city, right?

Guo Long glanced up at Shen Yun and fell silent: "I want to think about it." ”

"I know Xu Heitou looks up to you, but such a small gang, if I didn't say it, it's really not a big deal, how can you get ahead more than a big gang?"

Shen Yun whispered a word of persuasion, swallowed the steamed bun in three times and divided it by two, put on his coat and walked out.

The sky was already bright, and the warm sunlight was shining on Shen Yun's face.

This is a slightly immature and a little dark face, but there is a pair of big black eyes embedded in it, which makes his ordinary appearance look very smart.

The hair was like a weed, and it was unkempt on the head, and the signs of indiscriminate trimming were clearly visible.

The thin man wore a patched gray coat, gray cloth trousers, and a pair of tattered straw sandals.

At this moment, his brow was furrowed, revealing a melancholy that obviously did not match his age.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Guo Long approached, patted Shen Yun lightly on the shoulder, and stood together and looked at the pond not far away, where there were a few gray ducks, playing freely in the water.

Guo Long is two years older than Shen Yun, eleven this year, with a long square head and big ears, and a pair of sword eyebrows that are heroic, but his hair is trimmed neatly.

He had broad shoulders, was very strong, and was half a head taller than Shen Yun.

In the sound of "quack", Shen Yun looked at the gray ducks playing on the right side of the pond, where there was a small mound with a radius of dozens of zhang, covered with verdant bamboo, and the stream on the side came from the crisp sound of "ding dong ding dong" flowing water.

The bamboo forest is the place where they play the most, and every spring, they can also dig up some tender bamboo shoots to cook, although the taste is not good, but it is much better than starvation.

Guo Long naturally understood Shen Yun's worries, Xiao Mao's legs were afraid that they would not grow well, but if Shen Yun wanted to leave alone......

With a long sigh, he said, "Why don't you wait for your leg injury to get better?"

"Look, it's out of the way. Shen Yun said and walked a few steps, with a firm expression, "I'll leave tomorrow." ”

Guo Long groaned slightly and nodded: "Okay, let's leave tomorrow morning." ”

"I'm going to pack my bags, hehe. Shen Yun was overjoyed, his face was full of yearning for freedom, he limped and quickly turned around and went into the house to clean up, at this moment, the pain in his thighs seemed to be forgotten.

"You slow down," Guo Long was a little helpless, walked to the door and glanced inside, and said, "I'll go buy some dry food and keep it for tomorrow's journey." With that, he hurried away again.

Shen Yun answered, humming a small tune, and tidying it up with a smile on his face.

Leaving this city has been a long-standing wish, and if it weren't for Guo Long's persuasion, he might have left earlier.

Shen Yun didn't know how much impact such a small decision would have on the whole world, and how many people's lives would be affected, for him, it was just another escape.

"By the way, the more than 100 yuan is with me, what will he use to buy dry food?" After taking the salt seasoning, needlework, and copper wallet, Shen Yun was suddenly stunned.

Shaking his head, he grabbed the gourd filled with water on the side, and chuckled: "He must have a way." ”

Carefully fold the two best robes neatly, and put them into the big bag together with the small bag, and it will be sorted out.

After thinking about it, he rolled the mat on the ground into a roll.

When he came to the house, he began to dismantle the soup pot, which the brothers occasionally brought lettuce to cook and eat.

Unlike Guo Long, Shen Yun likes to make his own food, and there is almost nothing in his hands that he can't cook, or barbecue.

Dismantled the ya-shaped pot holder, sat on a smooth bluestone with a grass stalk in his mouth, and thought wildly, seeing that it was almost noon, and Guo Long still didn't come back, and couldn't help but secretly feel anxious.

"You won't be in trouble, will you?"
