Chapter 2: Ups and downs in troubled times
Outside the maple leaf forest, the blood wang who wanted to return to the main altar got lost and was intercepted by a mysterious person
"Blood Ray is lost, or I should call you the Hall Master!" said a hoarse and cold male voice from the hat
"Oh?" the blood dragon looked at the man in confusion
"Don't guess my identity, I'm here today to tell you three things, you go back and tell your master"
The man in the hat seemed to see the blood dragon's lost mind.
The blood dragon lost his eyes and said, "What's the matter?"
The man in the hat snorted lightly: "
First, the eight factions have already made some moves, and they will hold a secret meeting of the eight factions in the near future.
Second, the man was involved, but he didn't do it himself
Third, keep an eye out for your other mistress, otherwise he will cause great trouble. ”
The blood dragon snorted coldly: "Don't be a lover, I met him today." ”
The mysterious man wondered, "Oh? it seems that the news is correct, you must pay more attention to this person!"
The blood dragon was lost, and his eyes lit up
said: "This time, count him lucky, there is a swordsman of unknown origin, so the hall master did not make a move, and he will not have such good luck next time"
Mystery Man: "A swordsman of unknown origin?"
The blood dragon was lost: "Yes, that person has an extraordinary foundation, if the one-on-one hall master is not afraid, but it is difficult to guarantee that they are not in a group,
In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, the head of the parish will retire first. ”
The mysterious man groaned: "Hmm~ I will pay attention to the investigation of this young man, you first convey what I said to the ghost lord! ”
Without stopping, the mysterious man turned away.
The Blood Spirit looked at the back of the mysterious man and thought in his heart, and after a while, he had already made up his mind
"Let's go back to the altar first. The figure was stunned, and the blood dragon lost its way and sped up its pace.
Crystal dewdrops, welcome the first rays of dawn!
The warm sun shines on the busy people, and a new day begins
Life is like a cup of warm tea in the morning,
Pour out the troubles of yesterday,
Welcome the fresh dawn.
"This uncle is okay, I haven't eaten for a few days!"
A young beggar begs from a wealthy merchant next to a tea stall.
"Get out~, don't come near me, will you pay for soiling my clothes?" the rich merchant yelled,
After saying that, he stood up and kicked at the beggar, and when the beggar saw this, a spirit, rolled backwards to avoid a blow.
He turned around and said, "Hey, hey, if you don't give it, you won't give it, why are you beating people?"
"I look down on you people who are reaching out for food, you have hands and feet, do something to make up for it, how can there be a pie for you in the world"
The rich merchant shouted angrily.
The beggar stuck out his tongue, grimaced, and said, "Yo Yo Yo, the big businessman talks about the big truth, and the little sow can climb the tree."
The beggar's words provoked a burst of laughter around him.
The rich merchant's face turned red and he was about to attack,
A thin middle-aged man beside him hurriedly persuaded: "Okay, okay, I said Lao Jia, what are you calling a beggar?"
The rich merchant snorted angrily, sat back on the chair, and continued to eat breakfast.
At this time, a mother and son in ragged clothes came, found a tea table and sat down
Xiao Er hurriedly came over and waved his hand and said, "Go and go~~ Go and clean up the tea house again."
The older woman took out a bulging money bag and said, "Bring me all the delicious food and drink in your shop." ”
As soon as Xiao Er saw it, his complexion immediately changed, and he said with a hippie smile: "Oh, it turned out to be a big family, okay, you wait a minute~~"
I didn't forget to turn around and take a look at the bulging money bag
The child looked at his mother and said childishly: "Mother, we have money, we don't have to go hungry anymore."
"Yes, we have money" The mother caressed her son's head lovingly, but there was a little helplessness and sadness in her eyes
After a while, Xiao Er brought a sumptuous dish and a pot of good tea.
"It's delicious~, it's delicious!" The child was eating braised pork and his speech was a little slurred!
Looking at the gobbling child, the mother was full of emotion.
"In this life, my mother is sorry for you and made you suffer a lot! I hope that in the future, you will not meet someone like me again. ”
After speaking, he took out a small packet of white powder from his arms and poured it into the tea.
The child was only interested in eating, and did not notice the mother's movements.
"Child, have you eaten enough?" asked the child with concern, although the words were helpless, but the love in his eyes was indeed revealed!
The child nodded, touched his belly, licked his fingers, and said, "Well, it's almost!"
The mother picked up a bowl of tea and said softly, "Come, take a sip of tea and press it." ”
The child took the tea bowl and held it to his lips with both hands.
A tear slipped from the corner of her mother's eye.
At this time, she is helpless in her mood, who understands?
At this moment, I heard only a scream
The child looked up with the tea bowl and saw that the wealthy merchant was lying on the ground with his chest clutched and wailing
"Fall me to death!" but a beggar came to the child's side at some point
Grab the tea bowl and drink it all in one gulp
Knock Knock Knock ~~~~
The woman's face was panicked, trying to say something.
The beggar put down the tea bowl and wiped his mouth and said, "Oh, I've been begging all morning, I'm dying of thirst, thank you, big"
Before he finished speaking, the beggar looked pained, covered his stomach and slowly fell to the ground, and said: "Eh~~~ This"
The woman panicked, and the child said, "Mom, was my uncle burned to death by tea?"
The woman was terrified: "This and this" didn't know what to say for a while.
The beggar suddenly fell to the ground, attracting crowds of onlookers
The boss hurriedly ran over, and an onlooker said, "Boss, your tea is poisonous!"
The boss hurriedly shouted and explained: "No, no, this, this, what's going on?"
After pondering for a moment, the tea boss suddenly looked at the woman and asked sharply, "It's you, it's you who did it, right?"
The woman hesitated for a long time and sighed
"Alas~~ I wanted to use this arsenic to end the painful life of our mother and son, but he suddenly ran over and grabbed it, I didn't mean to"
"Arsenic~ Oops, this, this, this" began to talk around
At this moment, a yawn "Ah~~~ Eat and drink well, it's so comfortable to sleep!"
The beggar opened his eyes, stretched his waist, looked at the woman, and continued, "Thank you for the tea!"
The woman was speechless in astonishment, but looked at the beggar in a daze
Not only the women, but also many onlookers were stunned
Seeing this, the boss hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, it's okay, you don't have to ask for money for this meal, you go quickly!"
Then he began to drive out women and beggars
"How could you be okay? I put arsenic in that bowl of tea."
After leaving the tea stall, the woman asked the beggar.
I saw the beggar holding the air with one hand, poof~~~ protruding a large sip of tea
"I know a little bit about qigong, and I pressed the tea in my throat, so I didn't swallow it, hehe.
But eldest sister, why can't you think about it, and if you can't think about it, the child is innocent!" asked the beggar with a smile.
The woman nodded, her eyes recovering from her previous sadness
said: "The father of this child died early, and I pulled him by a woman, and over the years, we were hungry and full.
Now that I have no money, I really don't know what to do, so I think about killing myself with arsenic, I'm sorry for the child!"
"Mother, I'm dragging you down!" the child threw herself into her mother's arms and cried.
The beggar looked sympathetic, took out a money bag from his bosom and said, "Oh, by the way, this is the money bag you lost, it's so heavy, and I'll give it back to you." ”
The woman looked at the purse and said, "It's not money at all, it's stones." ”
The beggar wondered, "Yes?" ”
When he opened it, he took out a silver ingot from it
"Oops, there's money in there~" The beggar shouted!
The woman hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, the beggar was holding a silver ingot in his hand, and was amazed.
"Isn't this our purse?
The beggar smiled, put the silver back into the purse, and gave it to the woman
said: "Anyway, this is your money bag, you can take it to do some business, maybe this is God's will"
The woman took the money bag and knelt down and looked up at the sky and said, "Thank God for the blessing, thank God for the blessing"
The beggar lifted the woman up and said, "Since God bless you, then you must also know the reward, and when you have money in the future, do more good deeds to repay God!"
The woman nodded and left with the child
The beggar looked at the mother and son in the morning light, touched his head and laughed!
Just then, a pebble flew over
The beggar hurriedly rolled and dodged. He shouted, "Who? dare to attack me." ”
"I'm fighting a thief!" suddenly came a sweet voice
The beggar looked at it, and a female beggar who was about the same as her own clothes was standing opposite, smiling on her lips and playing with stones with one hand.
"Who are you? Why are you hitting me with a stone? The beggar looked at the visitor and asked.
But he secretly screamed in his heart, "Good girl, such a beautiful girl"
The female beggar pouted and said, "My name is Mu Xiaodi, and I am the boss of this area."
The male beggar pouted and said, "Boss, why haven't I heard of it?"
Mu Xiaodi rolled her eyes and said loudly: "You're new, yes, you're definitely new." ”
The male beggar nodded and shook his head and said, "It's not new, I've been here for a few days."
Mu Xiaodi exhaled and said, "No wonder you haven't heard of me, let me ask you, what is your name?"
The male beggar rolled his eyes and said, "My name is Rock Burn, Rock of Rock, Fever Burn!" ”
Mu Xiaodi touched her chin and said thoughtfully: "Yan Yao, how can there be such a strange name, hmm~~~~"
shook his little head and continued: "I don't want to, my head hurts, oh yes, I said you stole it, you still quibbled, you first knocked over Jia Fatzi,
Then he took his money bag, and finally stole the day, and put the money in the woman's money bag, am I right?(╯°□°)╯"
After speaking, she pinched her waist with both hands, looking triumphant, as if everything was under her control
"Uh~~~ So what do you want? I don't want to return the money bag, right?" Iwayaki touched his head and smiled.
Mu Xiaodi shook her head and said, "No, that fat man Jia is not a good thing in the first place, if you don't take it today,
Boss Ben also plans to give him a little color to see, and comes to you because Boss Ben sees that you are quite talented, and plans to accept you as a follower.
Follow me in the future, and I will make sure you eat and drink spicy food. How?"
Yan Yao Yin Yang said angrily: "Let a female doll be my boss, I'm so good that I'm also a pure man, this is not suitable!"
Mu Xiaodi's eyes widened and said: "What's wrong with the female doll, can't the female doll be the boss, there were still women who were generals in ancient times." You say you don't worship or not"
Yan Yao raised his head and said loudly: "I~~~No~~~~~ Worship~~~"
Mu Xiaodi was so angry that her cheeks bulged
"You ~~~~~"
Then I heard a "wow", Mu Xiaodi sat on the ground and cried, the sound was shocking and crying.
Iwayaki was stupid on the spot.
He didn't expect this little girl to cry when she said she would cry, and she was at a loss for a while.
"Oops~~~ This one, even if I don't worship you as the boss, you don't have to cry," Iwayaki persuaded.
The response was.
"Wow (tot) ~~~~~" a yard louder cry.
"This, this, okay, okay, I was wrong, then let's be good friends, how about sharing half of the money I stole from you in the future?" Iwayaki said helplessly.
"Huh?0.0" Mu Xiaodi looked at Yan Yao
The latter smiled and said, "Divide your half, divide your half"
"Wow (tot)~~~~~" Mu Xiaodi's cry was a little louder, as if she wanted to raise the price for herself.
Iwayaki panicked, he had lived for half his life, and it was the first time he encountered a situation that completely overwhelmed him.
He walked back and forth in a hurry, Mu Xiaodi was indeed unreasonable, and the cries surrounded him
"Boss Tu" Iwaki shouted cautiously
"Hmm, are you calling me?" asked Mu Xiaodi.
Iwayaki nodded, and said helplessly: "There is no one else here"
"Then you have to listen to Boss Ben, whoever bullies me, who you beat, you can't beat me, you have to beat me up!
Iwayaki immediately straightened up: "Eh, received"
Mu Xiaodi wiped her small hand, and immediately recovered her previous expression, as if she hadn't cried at all just now.
Yan Yao looked at Mu Xiaodi and muttered in his heart: "Why do I feel like I'm jumping into a pit?"
"Let's go!" Mu Xiaodi said with a wave of her small hand.
Iwayaki asked, "Boss, where are we going?"
Mu Xiaodi turned around and dropped a sentence: "Take you to understand the environment." ”
The warm afternoon sun, the lively Jinling market.
"Sure enough, the so-called understanding of the environment" Iwayaki has a black line on his face
"Alas~~ Alas, what a beautiful rouge, and that hairpin, do you see it?" Mu Xiaodi tugged on Yan Yao's arm
"Boss, what's the use of seeing, we don't have the money to buy it. Iwayaki said helplessly.
Mu Xiaodi touched her head and said, "Yes, we are beggars now." ”
At this moment, there was a wave of people, and it came from time to time
"Oh, the great benevolent Xue Yuqing is distributing food again, go quickly, it's gone when it's late"
"Well, food!" Mu Xiaodi, who heard these two words, immediately came to his senses again
A handful of people ran with the flow of people.
Longevity Tea House, located in the east of Jinling City, as the name indicates, the village is rich in a kind of longevity tea
The formula of this tea is unique, and people who drink it will go to fatigue and longevity, so not only Jinling City, but also major cities in the Central Plains, are very popular with this tea
Xue Yuqing, the producer and marketer of longevity tea, is also a well-known local benevolent person
At this time, in front of the Xue Mansion, it was like a bazaar.
Xue Yuqing, the owner of the farm, was distributing rice grain in front of the door
"Wow, there are so many people!" Mu Xiaodi's eyes widened in surprise, looking at the endless queue ahead
"Well, I have long heard that there is a Xue Yuqing in Chengdu, who is kind-hearted and rescuers, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation," Yan Yao couldn't help but praise.
"Hmm, yes, do you know him?" asked Mu Xiaodi on the side.
Yan Yao looked at Mu Xiaodi and said, "I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it, Boss Tu, aren't you the beggar boss here?" Why don't you even know about Xue Shanren. ”
Mu Xiaodi panicked when she heard this, quickly turned her little face, looked aside, and pouted, "I know, it's just a test for you." ”
Iwayaki laughed: "Okay, according to what I heard this Xue Yuqing, he is still a first-class master in the rivers and lakes!
Mu Xiaodi's eyes suddenly showed a look of admiration: "Wow, you know this~~"
Iwayaki smiled and said, "We beggars, nothing else, it's just a lot of news! After all, there are our brothers in the south and the north!"
Mu Xiaodi nodded and said, "Then we don't have to steal it tonight, maybe we won't need it in the future!"
cliff
Burning his eyes and saying blankly: "Boss, we can't always rely on others, we have to rely on ourselves!"
Mu Xiaodi said impatiently: "Okay, okay, why are you like my mother, long-winded"
Iwayaki shook his head, thinking to himself, this little girl doesn't know where she came from, it seems that she is a girl who has not been deeply involved in the world.
And it's very likely that she stole out, the rivers and lakes are sinister, it's better to send her home as soon as possible
Thinking about this, I wanted to ask about Mu Xiaodi's hometown, and suddenly, a feeling of uneasiness hit my heart.
Yan Yao couldn't help but look nervous: "Hmm, the atmosphere is not right, there is a murderous aura!"
Lined up in front of him, Mu Xiaodi heard this sentence and looked back at Yan Yao blankly: "Murderous?
At noon, beads of sweat had appeared on Xue Yuqing's forehead, who was distributing food.
However, just as the sun was shining three strokes, he suddenly felt a chill!
Frightened, I couldn't help but look around.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Xue Yuqing, who noticed that his expression was wrong, and the housekeeper Liu Zheng asked with concern.
"Is it my delusion?" Xue Yuqing wondered in his heart, after all, he often worked hard in the martial arts when he was young
Whenever something dangerous happens, I feel like this. Could it be that he is going to be killed and robbed today?
Thinking about this, Xue Yuqing decided to disperse the crowd first, otherwise it would be difficult for the killer to disguise himself as an enemy
"Folks, I'm sorry, the old man is a little unwell today, the food will be sent here first, please go back," Xue Yuqing said suddenly.
It made everyone at the scene feel inexplicable.
"Alas, what's going on, how did it end like this"
"yes, I haven't gotten it yet"
"Alas, if you know you're uncomfortable, don't send it, it's true, it's causing me to run all the way"
There are many opinions below
"Howl~~ Our food is gone," Mu Xiaodi also exclaimed in disappointment.
And Iwayaki did have a straight face, as if he was thinking about something
After a while, there were not many people in front of the Xue Mansion, and Mu Xiaodi looked at the Yan Yao in a daze
yelled "Hey~~~~"
"Ah~~~" Iwayaki was startled and almost sat on the ground.
Mu Xiaodi tilted her head and said, "Everyone is gone, what are you doing?"
Yan Yao noticed that in addition to the people from Xue Mansion, there were only himself and Mu Xiaodi here.
Suddenly thinking of something, Yan Yao suddenly pulled Mu Xiaodi's serious and said, "Boss Tu, we have to leave quickly"
Mu Xiaodi felt strange, so she asked, "Little stone, what's wrong with you?"
Yan Yao said while dragging Mu Xiaodi: "It's not clear now, anyway, hurry up." ”
Leisurely, Iwayaki felt a chill, and this time the feeling was very strong
Iwayaki was about to look for it, but he heard the poem coming
"One step into the wind and clouds, leave your name, leave your life! Thousands of miles of Huangquan I walk alone, affectionate, ruthless!"
The low voice, accompanied by a slowed pace, leaned into Mu Xiaodi and the two step by step as if the god of death had descended into the world
Iwayaki looked back,
But when he saw a man with a withered countenance, and a bloodless face, and gray eyes like a pool of stagnant water,
A gray robe dances in the wind, like a rakshasa of life
His long gray hair was scattered over his shoulders, just like hell
Yan Yao looked at the visitor quietly, but his right hand was holding Mu Xiaodi tightly
"Alas, you get it" Mu Xiaodi broke free, but after seeing Yan Yao's expression, he no longer resisted
Although I haven't known each other for a long time, the feeling that Iwayaki gives Mu Xiaodi is that he is a big boy who loves to laugh.
But in the current situation, he really has a serious face, let alone a smile, and he can't even find half a point of calmness
Although Mu Xiaodi gritted her teeth in pain, she knew that it was better for her to not speak now.
When the gray-robed man passed by him, Mu Xiaodi seemed to feel that the air had been drained,
Fortunately, it doesn't seem that the person who came was aimed at himself and Iwayaki. 、
Xue Yuqing and the others behind him had already noticed it.
"Stop, who are you?" Xue Yuqing asked in a loud voice.
The person stopped walking, staring at Xue Yuqing with a pair of dead eyes
The lips slowly opened: "The one who took his life!"
Who is the mysterious person who took his life? What will be the fate of Xue Yuqing, a great benevolent man?
