The dirty-clothed boy was obviously a native of this Chenjia town, and he ran all the way, not only at an extremely fast speed, but also very familiar with the roads and alleys in the town.

Turning the street and passing through the alley, pedestrians along the way looked sideways, Qi Ling had some scruples, and he couldn't completely let go of his hands and feet and chased him with all his might.

Passing through the lively streets, the pedestrians gradually decreased, and the houses and buildings on the outskirts of the town were obviously much worse and withered, and Qi Ling, who had been able to catch up with the teenager a long time ago, seemed to be much slower for some reason.

The young man turned all the way through the cracks, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the dilapidated alley, he obviously felt that the bearded man in the green robe behind him could catch him, and several times he wanted to leave the money bag and leave, but he still had a fluke in his heart. Although this bag of spirit stones is not as heavy as the one above, it is enough time for his two brothers and sisters.

Chen Xiaobing thought about it, and at the same time made sure that the tail behind him was thrown off by himself, and he didn't feel it, so he sped up his steps. Carefully glanced around, Chen Xiaobing listened to the sound around the wooden door of the small courtyard that was worn out by the wind and rain, and after making sure that the person did not follow, he flashed into the courtyard and closed the door.

The yard is not big, a small wooden table, a well, and an old tree that is not too thick.

Hearing the sound in the yard, a girl's sick voice came from the house: "Brother, are you back?"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a little girl of eight or nine years old trembling out and holding the door of the house, she looked at the dirty-clothed young man in the yard, smiled hard, and two small dimples floated on her dark and thin cheeks. There were only a lot more patches on his washed white shirt than Chen Xiaobing, whom she called her brother.

Chen Xiaobing saw his sister get out of bed and come out, the two mud legs with his trouser legs rolled up were windy, and he rushed up to support the little girl with an arrow step, his voice was soft, and he feigned anger: "Didn't I tell you not to get out of bed, and I didn't listen to my brother again." ”

The pale girl smiled even sweeter and looked at her brother without speaking.

Chen Xiaobing supported his sister, raised his hand to wipe the black ash from her forehead, let go of his hand and reached into his arms to take out two money bags, smugly and smiled: "Well, there is meat to eat now, and your illness is also cured with money, and when the disease is cured, my brother will take you to eat your favorite clear water noodles." ”

The pale girl nodded happily, and fell into the boy's arms.

"Little sister, little sister!" The money bag in the boy's hand fell to the ground, and he couldn't care about it, so he bent down to pick up his sister, and hurriedly put her on the bed, and hurriedly pulled the light quilt over the girl, and hurriedly rubbed her cold little hands.

"She was infected with the wind chill, and she hadn't eaten yet, so she fainted with some weakness. ”

A man's voice came from the door, which made Chen Xiaobing panic for a while, he turned his head to look at the blue-robed man who appeared silently by the door, and then subconsciously blocked in front of the girl on the couch.

The green-robed man bent down to pick up the two money bags that Chen Xiaobing had dropped above the ground, one of which was his own.

Chen Xiaobing's hands behind him tightly grasped his sister's cold hands, but he stared at the man in front of him who entered his yard without knowing when, the little boy's voice was very resolute, and said, "I admit that I stole your money bag, and now it's all in your hands, and I will return it to you." ”

Qi Ling looked at the child standing in front of the girl on the bed, and asked, "What should I do if you two brothers and sisters are returned?"

As if seeing that the man in the green robe had no malicious intent, Chen Xiaobing breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a stiff tone: "Yours will be returned to you, and the other one cannot be given to you." ”

Qi Ling looked at the dirty-clothed young man and threw away the two money bags, the young man was stunned for a moment, but he also reached out to catch it in mid-air, and said with a strange expression: "What do you mean?"

"I was chasing you just to ask you something. Now, I can help you heal this little girl, and you just answer my question, so you don't have to lose. ”

Chen Xiaobing hesitated for a moment, then looked directly at the man in the green robe, and he nodded.

Qi Ling smiled softly and said, "You are very cautious, but I believe you can also feel that I have no malicious intentions, and there is nothing I have in mind for you." ”

Chen Xiaobing snorted coldly and did not speak.

Qi Ling reached into his arms, pinched his fingers, and took out a breath of spiritual material nectar grass that had been seized from the Wang family from the storage bag.

"You boil some water to boil this medicine, give her the water to drink, and tomorrow your sister will be alive." ”

This time, Chen Xiaobing did not hesitate at all, and reached out to gratefully take the yellowed herbs in Qi Ling's hand, he could feel that this man had no malicious intent. "My name is Chen Xiaobing. ”

"You can just call me Brother Qi. ”

The house was very small, and under a simple thatched hut next to it was a place to make a fire and cook rice, Qi Ling followed the silent Chen Xiaobing, watching him boil water and boil medicine.

Looking at the young man's familiar movements, Qi Ling just silently closed his eyes, "What about your father?"

When the boy had made water, he squatted down to make a fire, and without looking back, he said, "It's dead." ”

"No other relatives?"

"Nope. ”

Qi Ling was silent for a long time.

"You're a fast runner, so you've never been caught stealing anything for years, and you've seen people, and no one can outrun you, right?"

Although Qi Ling was no longer hostile, the young man's tone was still lukewarm, "If you want to ask me something, ask now, I will tell you if you know." ”

Qi Ling's voice was soft, and he said, "I see that your skin is dark, and the mud on your shoes is not something that can only be contaminated on the ground, it is the low mud in the river, so I guess you have good water quality." ”

Chen Xiaobing, who was squatting on the ground and lighting a fire with peace of mind, turned his head and glanced at Qi Ling, nodded and said, "Yes, it's so-so." ”

Receiving the expected answer, Qi Ling continued: "You are very familiar with the Han Zhujiang?"

"I often go into the water to fish, come and go, for several years, but I still have a number in my heart, and you are the same as those who practice martial arts, and you want to find weapons after the tide rises tomorrow?"

Chen Xiaobing had just finished speaking, but his stomach screamed out angrily.

Qi Ling remained silent, did not deny it, and muttered: "Sort of!"

The young man stopped talking, and Qi Ling didn't ask, he turned around and walked towards the broken wooden gate at the gate of the courtyard.

Turning his head to look at Chen Xiaobing, the man in the green robe smiled and said, "I have been chasing me for so long, I haven't even had time to buy food, you boil medicine, I'll buy some food." ”

The old wooden door creaked and closed again, and the figure of the blue-robed man was gone, and Chen Xiaobing looked at the two doors in a daze.

This man is indeed as he said, he should be a ranger who practices martial arts, but he is a little different from the people Chen Xiaobing has seen on the side of the Hanzhu River for so many years, and he can't say what the difference is.
