Chapter Seventy-Two: Encountering a White Boy
Although such a major thing has happened on this road recently, as the Tianshui Lu family naturally can't do nothing, but they also sent guards to clean up the Gobi region a few times, of course, the effect is not known to outsiders, and there is no way to talk about other influences, so other rumors only dare to circulate underneath, and some real words dare not say more, after all, they are all caravans, and they can't afford to offend a business family like the Lu family.
Therefore, the business of the caravan is also done, and there seems to be a subtle compromise between the bandits and the masterminds behind the scenes.
Tianshui is sandwiched between Yanmen and Xizhou, as the three bright pearls of the Kansai corridor, especially prosperous, other places are incomparable, even if you have just come into contact with the city gate, the scene can reveal a lot of information, whether it is to travel back and forth, or the appearance of the people, as well as the spirit of guarding, all of which are reflected.
"After passing through Yanmen, there are no such strict inspection guards, and when I get here, it seems to have a different style. Ziyan said.
She and the shadow cat walked aside, and followed Lin Ziming and Sun Xian'er to the city gate, and couldn't help but sigh.
"That's nature, Yanmen martial arts are prevalent, but not everyone dares to be presumptuous there. The shadow cat smiled indifferently: "Tianshui is different, there is a rare bustle and prosperity here, and a large number of businessmen and wealthy families have gathered, if they are not strict, how can they be calmed down." ”
When the four of them paid the city fee, but entered this long-known city, Lin Ziming found that its lively scene was no less than that of the ordinary Central Plains Fuzhou, and even surpassed.
"Alright, it's not getting early, let's hurry up and find an inn to rest. Sun Xian'er said, looking around as she spoke, to see where there was an inn. The other three were not idle, and they also joined in to help.
But at this moment, a figure stumbled over and bumped into Lin Ziming, and then wanted to leave in a hurry.
"Stealing my purse and wanting to leave like this. Isn't it too inattentive to me. Lin Ziming jumped in front of the man.
The man was disheveled, and his appearance was not real, but after Lin Ziming's trouble, many people rushed around, but he had nowhere to go.
During this period, Lin Ziming didn't need to make a move at all, and even punched and kicked him, the shape was very miserable, and he shrank into a ball. Even the money bag he stole from Lin Ziming was discarded, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to it anymore.
Lin Ziming squatted down and picked up the money bag, but at a glance, he saw the appearance of the young man.
"Thank you, now that I've got my stuff back, don't embarrass him. ”
"The little beggar here dares to head something in the sky. ”
"That's it, fortunately, this son has a good heart. If he was caught by the city guards, it would not have been the result. ”
Everyone pointed and pointed before leaving. Not long after, Sun Xian'er and the others also walked over: "Don't you leave?"
"Ziyan, take him. ”
"Yes. ”
Although Ziyan was a little confused, she did so and took the little beggar with her.
Then the four of them found an inn and stayed, and the little beggar groomed and dressed up. came to Lin Ziming's room.
"Look up. Lin Ziming shouted, "Do you still recognize me?"
The little beggar slowly lifted up, but when he saw Lin Ziming, he was slightly stunned, revealing a bitter smile: "Big brother." ”
"Bai Tong, you are not in Qingzhou. Why did the water come on this day?" Lin Ziming asked.
It turned out that this little beggar was the villager next to Baitou Mountain that Lin Ziming had helped, the cowherding boy Bai Tong.
"Big brother, you don't know that not long after you left, another group of people came to Baitou Mountain, killed our village, and sold women and children to human traffickers, but I escaped while the traffickers were unprepared, but unfortunately they were not so lucky. Bai Tong shed tears and said: "I came to Tianshui with a caravan, but I didn't go long, they also left me some things, but I was deceived away, and I joined a gang to do such a thing, and I met the big brother unconsciously." ”
"These things are in the past. Lin Ziming helped Bai Tong up and said, "From now on, you will stay by my side and will never be hurt again." ”
"Thank you, big brother. Bai Tong said.
"I'm only seven or eight years older than you, if you don't dislike it, call me big brother. Lin Ziming said solemnly.
"Hmm. Bai Tong nodded.
"Big brother. ”
After Bai Tong finished speaking, he couldn't help but throw himself into Lin Ziming's arms and cry bitterly.
After a long time, Bai Tong stopped crying, still with a pair of red eyes, pitiful, Lin Zi had already asked people to prepare a meal tomorrow morning, he saw it and snorted, and he didn't know how long he hadn't eaten a full meal, and after sitting down, the wolf vomited and ate it.
"Big brother, although I have met you now, I have been fortunate to have been taken care of by my friends before, and I want to go back to see them. Bai Tong said.
"That's fine. Lin Ziming nodded: "I'll go with you." ”
"Hmm. ”
After explaining to Sun Xian'er, Lin Ziming took Bai Tong out of the inn, and under the guidance of Bai Tong, he went straight to a dilapidated temple in the city.
"This is our home. ”
Bai Tong was carrying a lot of steamed buns in his hands, and they were still filled with heat and fragrance.
"Go ahead. ”
Lin Ziming stood aside and gave him another generation of broken silver, and at this time, the people in the temple heard movement outside, but rushed out.
But at this time, Lin Zi had disappeared without a trace tomorrow morning, and he was far away.
"Bai Tong, you're finally back. ”
"Wow, why are you dressed so brightly and brought so much food, didn't you steal from a rich family. ”
After a while, the food in his hand was snatched up, but the bag of broken silver had not been touched.
And when the crowd was gone, an old beggar came out.
"Schuber. Bai Tong screamed.
As he spoke, he handed the broken silver into the old beggar's hand.
The old beggar shook the silver and whispered, "Since you have found your relatives, let's go back." ”
Bai Tong nodded, but still knelt down and kowtowed three times to the old beggar before slowly getting up and leaving.
After he returned to Lin Ziming, Lin Ziming said to him: "Let's go." ”
Before leaving, Lin Ziming's eyes fell on the broken temple again, and he muttered, "How could the elders of the Northern Beggars Gang appear here?"
However, he didn't think much about it, but he took Bai Tong back the same way and returned to the inn.
"Bai Tong, what do you call the old beggar?"
"Usually he asks us to call him Schuber, but we don't know his real name. Bai Tong said: "But I feel that Shu Bo is not an ordinary person, when he asked me from the hands of the ruffians, the group of ruffians did not dare to say a word." ”
"Oh. Lin Ziming thought for a moment and nodded: "This is even more wrong." (To be continued.) )
