The little beggar's heart slowly lowered in the clapping of his hands, and he listened to the few miserable laughter of the man in black in front of him, but he didn't know that this laughter would always accompany him in the next ten years. The www.biquge.info of the pen and the fun of the pavilion had several midnight dreams, and he seemed to be able to hear this kind of laughter.

The little beggar now hears that there is both pain and joy in this laughter. The little beggar also knows very well that this kind of laughter is a kind of venting. It's like after he was caught stealing a few times, after those fierce servants beat him to pieces, he would laugh when he recuperated behind the Buddha statue in the ruined temple, but the man in black laughed more freely.

"My surname is Wu, so you can call me Mr. Wu to make it up. After laughing, the man in black immediately calmed down, and he looked at the still bleeding corpse on the ground with interest, and said to the little beggar.

This Mr. Wu is called "Jianghuai Renxia" by the people of the rivers and lakes, and the name he used when he traveled the rivers and lakes was "Wu Qingshan", but this was not his real name. Mr. Wu calls himself "Phoenix Mountain Hermit", and Yang Shuo and Yang Hui, two young talents who have become famous in the rivers and lakes in recent days, are his disciples. But no one would have imagined that this white road hero would now slaughter all the forty-one members of Sikong's family, even though he originally wanted to slaughter forty-two.

Although Mr. Wu is close to his ears and has been in the rivers and lakes for most of his life, he has never seen a child as eccentric as this little beggar.

Saying that he is eccentric is not that he looks good, nor does it mean that he has a body vein, although there are not many talented children like this, but Wu Qingshan has also seen dozens of them, just by the direction of the meridians, that person has more talent for martial arts than this little beggar. But a person who still calls others brothers, perceives that things have changed, but can make a judgment and turn his face and deny people, this kind of character Wu Qingshan has never seen one in these years.

"If this guy is this, maybe he is much stronger than those children, much stronger than Yang Hui's child. Speaking of which...... The failure of this plan has something to do with the fact that I taught them to be too right. This little guy seems to be much stronger than those imps, and I don't like those imps either, so I might as well ......"

Not to mention that this little beggar is thin and small, although he claims to be a ten-year-old child, his body is no more than a seven or eight-year-old child, even if he is the most ruthless person in the rivers and lakes, he probably can't be so decisive and cruel. Besides, how did this little beggar perceive his intentions, Wu Qingshan was also extremely puzzled.

But seeing a hint of joy flashing in the little beggar's eyes in the faint light, Wu Qingshan knew that the child was still a little tender after all, and remembered the question in his heart, Wu Qingshan looked at the corpse and asked the little beggar in front of him:

"Why are you pretending to be a thief?"

"I don't know that Mr. Wu has already listened to my conversations with Xiao Yuan, and if I knew, I would probably choose to pretend to have a quarrel with him when Mr. Wu came over, and then kill him by mistake. ”

"Then why did you kill him?"

"Of course, it's for Mr. Wu to solve problems, isn't Mr. Wu here to slaughter this Sikong family today? Although the kid has no ability, he is also willing to contribute to Mr. Wu. The little beggar said this, but he smiled bitterly, and said:

"I'm afraid this explanation can't be done, Mr. Wu is not so stupid, and the kid is not so stupid. The kid is willing to tell the truth, and only asks Mr. Wu to spare a way to live. There are only two reasons for this: one is that the kid just noticed that there was a movement above his head, and he knew that someone had sneaked into this place, and he faintly heard the sound of killing in the yard, the sound of women and children crying, and the sound of thirty or forty sharp blades breaking flesh and bones, so he guessed that the enemy of the Sikong family came to slaughter him. Mr. Wu's martial arts are really high, but he killed them all in a few breaths, and that Boundless seems to be quite powerful, but it doesn't seem to have survived Mr. Wu's sword......"

"You have such a good ear? It seems that you are really gifted, and you can hear it clearly about half a mile from the court, and there are several heavy walls of the court?" ”

After that, Mr. Wu grabbed what seemed to be a small pebble on the ground, made a backward throwing motion, and said, "You say, this pebble was thrown in that direction?"

"Why did Mr. Wu deceive me? The tooth in your hand was not thrown out at all, it was just pretentious. ”

"Teeth?"

Mr. Wu hurriedly looked at the hard gadget in his hand with the glimmer of light in the lantern, this is indeed a tooth, and there are some blood stains on it, thinking that it is the child in the fancy costume.

"Can you see clearly?"

The lantern was faintly lit, and Wu Qingshan didn't notice that the "little pebble" in his hand turned out to be a tooth, but this little beggar was more than a foot away, but he could see it? The little beggar didn't have the slightest smugness, and his voice was very calm:

"Since I was a child, I have seen and heard farther than others, and it seems that I can even smell more than others, but over the years I have been used to rolling in the mud, and this nose is getting worse and worse. ”

Mr. Wu looked at the little beggar for a while before asking, "You said there are two reasons, what is the second reason?"

"The second reason is my selfishness, although I call this boy brother brother on weekdays, but after all, he is not the same kind of person, he doesn't understand things, but I understand, we are strangers after all. There are two other families in Jiangning City who have such a relationship with me, and I have a better relationship with that prince of the Chu family. I don't want to look at them if it weren't for the sake of borrowing something from them. ”

When Mr. Wu heard this, he only said in his heart: "This little beggar is extremely vicious, and there is no humanity in his words, but such a character is of great use to me." If you want to defeat that guy, if you rely on martial arts, you don't have any hope at all, and besides, this guy seems to be a pity, and he still has some feelings for himself after all. It's just that if he can't be used by me, I will inevitably be eaten by him, and then the gains will outweigh the losses. Although those little devils are not smarter than him, and they don't have to be highly qualified, they can be obedient...... Speaking of which, being too obedient is not a good thing, Ah Shuo, this child is too obedient, and he doesn't know how to be flexible, although Ah Hui is disobedient everywhere, he also has the right path in his heart. Their brother was trained by me to be a human being, but in the end, he fell short, and even Ah Yan ......"

Thinking of this, Mr. Wu couldn't help but sigh, glanced at the little beggar again, and saw that the little beggar had a look of panic in his eyes for some reason, and he was quite puzzled. But after all, Mr. Wu has been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, and has seen a lot of all kinds of characters, although this little beggar is unique, but he is not very old, and some emotions are still not well disguised, Mr. Wu only thought about it, and knew that this little beggar was probably thinking about his expression changing several times, and then he sighed again, as if he decided to kill him after hesitation.

"How can this kid be so good at reading words and feelings?"

Thinking so in his heart, he said, "Boy, let's go to a quiet place, and we can't stay here for long." ”

With that, Mr. Wu threw away the lantern and walked towards the wooden door that he had sealed, his right hand slowly climbing up to the hilt of the sword.

"Won't it burn?"

The little beggar's question made Mr. Wu pause, and he turned his head to look at the child's face again in the dim moonlight.

"If you don't destroy the corpse, I'm afraid you'll expose something. ”

"I'm not using my own swordsmanship, what are you afraid of?"

"But there's always some clue, isn't it? But when the fire cleans the meat, there's nothing left on the bones and ashes. ”

Mr. Wu's eyes could no longer leave the face of this little beggar, and there was some childlike innocence in his smile, but he was really a child, right? A child with a vicious heart, a child who thinks more fully than himself. Although these thoughts are only based on being more inhuman than themselves.

"God, decades after my failure, is this the great gift you gave me?"

With this in mind, Mr. Wu piled up the forty-two corpses of the Sikong family in the main hall, and then found a small amount of tung oil from the backyard storage room as a primer.

And Mr. Wu also found the treasure that belonged to him.

She gave her a name for the treasure, but he had to name it Lonely.

Just because he has no father and no mother, he was adopted by an old beggar in a ruined temple since he was a child, and when the old beggar was rejected to join the beggar gang, and finally starved to death on the street because he couldn't get money and food, this little beggar held half of the bread that the old beggar forced into his hand, and he didn't shed a single tear.

"Xiao Gu, my body hurts everywhere, my heart, lungs and stomach seem to be broken, and now dying is a relief for me. This is probably a kind of retribution for me, right? I was too arrogant in the Hou Mansion back then, and God will repay me now. But you are so young, you have to live well, your life can be long, long......"

This was the last sentence the old beggar said to the little beggar, even if the little beggar changed his name to Sikong Gu, he always remembered the old beggar's longing eyes for the piece of bread in his hand before he died, and the three words that he kept reciting in his mouth: "Grow...... It's ......?"

If it weren't for the little beggar's six senses, I'm afraid I wouldn't have heard what he said.

It's just that to the little beggar at that time, the old beggar didn't want to be a blessing, but like a curse.

It was summer when the old beggar died, and a puddle of meat stinked after a few hours, and the little beggar, who was only six years old at the time, could not move the old beggar's body, so he could only quietly watch as the men put the old beggar, which was already overgrown with maggots, into a sack, put it on an ox cart and carry it out of the city.

"The boy had no father or mother, and was adopted by a kind beggar, and after he died four years ago, I went to the streets and alleys to earn a living. ”

While nibbling on half a dry flatbread, the little beggar told Mr. Wu about his life experience, which was the ruined temple outside Jiangning City, and it was also the temporary shelter of the little beggar.

What about suffering? What about mourning? Some feelings are not enough for outsiders at all, and there is no need to show them, it is good to see a rich man called uncle, and it is good to see a person wearing a lightly armed waist sword called a hero, who will pay attention to the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of a little beggar?

"Are you an outcast?"

"Yes. ”

There was no emotion in the little beggar's eyes, and Mr. Wu was also the first time to see this kind of person who had obviously gone through hardships and did not tell his tragic experience. No, this kid is definitely not naïve to that extent. Is it because he doesn't trust himself? No, this little beggar knows everything, and he doesn't seem to have the slightest idea of hiding his true intentions.

He didn't want to vent his emotions at all? Or did he ...... He doesn't have anyone's feelings at all?

"Lonely Brother ......"

There was a call from under the steps of the broken temple, and Mr. Wu immediately stood up, but he couldn't see half a figure. After a while, Mr. Wu saw a little beggar of five or six years old, who was wearing a straw coat on the outside, which seemed to be made of rags, and his little face was dirty, not much better than the one who was still munching on the bread inside.

"She's also the owner of this place, and she was picked up by me four years ago, and her name is Koyanagi. ”

"Koyanagi?"

Looking at the dirty face and the eyebrows, Mr. Wu realized that the little beggar who was only five or six years old turned out to be a girl.

"Mr. Wu, if your old man really wants me to do something, I only have one request, so that I can have a full meal with her. ”

This future revivalist of the Sikong family said this to Mr. Wu in that ruined temple back then.

Mr. Wu didn't hesitate for a moment, this kid had brought him more surprises than he could bear.

"He's not emotionless. ”

But Mr. Wu didn't know that at this time, this little beggar didn't take half of the dirty little girl in his heart, but thought: "In order to control me, I must have a weakness, as long as I have a weakness, he is not afraid that I will not listen to him." If I don't care about anything, he will only be afraid of me, and he will not think that I can be controlled by him. No one likes to keep a very dangerous thing around, and in the middle of winter, does anyone put themselves in the middle of a fire?"

This is the first time Sikong Gu has deceived Mr. Wu, and in his long life, he has deceived his master only a handful of times, and because of this, Mr. Wu has been aware of it until his death.

"My life began. ”

After hearing Mr. Wu express his intention to become an apprentice, he still didn't know that he would think of the little beggar named Sikong Gu in the future.

After that, the little beggar followed Mr. Wu to the Phoenix Mountain, and after dealing with the children who would be replaced by the little beggar, Mr. Wu revealed part of the plan to this extremely intelligent and extremely insightful little beggar, and named him "Sikong Gu".

This Sikong Gu is the orphan of the Sikong family who was slaughtered in Mr. Wu's plan.

This Sikong Gu wants to take revenge on him and step into the rivers and lakes, and he wants to rely on the identity of the orphan of the Sikong family to coerce Jiangnan Wulin to fight against him.

"Sikong Gu is back, and he has come back to 'take revenge' on him. ”

"Making a name for yourself in Yangzhou is the first step in the plan. ”

"Building strength is the second step in the plan. ”

"Controlling Jiangnan Wulin is the third step of the plan. ”

"The complete destruction of them with him is the fourth step in the plan. ”

Telling him who destroyed him was the fifth step in the plan. ”

At the wine table, Sikong Gu, who had completely accepted this new identity and new name, remembered some old past events and smiled at Zhang Wenwen again.

"What are you...... What the...... What do you mean?"

Trembling question, the "Uncle Zhang" in front of him seems unwilling to accept this truth!

"It's the little beggar who used to go to play with A-Yuan back then, Uncle Zhang, have you forgotten, that time in order to let his dirty little hands touch Master Sikong, you also gave him three pennies. ”

"You...... You are ......"

"Am I not right in front of you? I've been trying to find a chance to pay you back. ”

Zhang Wenwen suddenly felt his heart broken, and the heavens and the earth hung upside down.
