Chapter 3 The Nerd Saves the Beggars with Kindness
Tiansui City, is the most rich and prosperous city in the Central Plains, the so-called "Tiansui lives the old immortals, and the same age as the sky for thousands of years", it is said that the city has a long history, prosperity and health. According to the Chronicles of the Heavenly Year, the city was famous 2,000 years ago, and has now developed into a grand city with millions of people.
Although wealth is a good thing, it is also a matter of trouble, a city is rich and other cities are poor, the wealth effect appears, the people from all over the Central Plains want to be rich, drag their children and daughters, or a single person, the whole family is out, and leave their hometown alone, there have even been a few years when outsiders are flooded, and at the same time, the number of cases has surged, so that the city prison of Tiansui City is full every year, as the saying goes, "Seven or eight out of ten homeless people, prison builds a city a year!" "Some hooligans have even become nail households, anyway, they are in prison to eat and live, which is much better than begging outside, so they simply leave the prison today and come back tomorrow, feeling the anger of the people, forced by public security, Tiansui City has a new policy, outsiders are only allowed to enter the city every spring, in addition, without special approval, they are not allowed to enter the city.
Therefore, around the spring of every year, when I ascended to the Tiansui City and looked at it, the wilderness outside the city, the streets in the city, were all people who had fled to the city, the streets at the end of the alleys, the temples and ferries, but all the places that could shelter from the wind and rain were also occupied by various forces, people were divided into three, six, nine, and so on, and the rivers and lakes were several layers, and the bottom forces were clearly divided by interests, and the gangs were obvious.
On this day's cold food festival, outside the city gate, a little beggar in rags walked in, his pair of sword eyebrows were good, sharp, but there was a faint sadness in the eyebrows, seeing that he was walking with vague steps, looking weak, his eyes were slightly open, and he seemed to be tired to the extreme, and he would fall asleep at any time.
Walking past a meat bun stall, perhaps the boss saw that he was pitiful, and couldn't bear to sigh: "Alas, when you come out to beg for food at a young age, your father and mother don't care? With a sigh, he stretched out his hand and stuffed a hot meat bun into the little beggar's hand.
This little beggar is no one else, but the child who escaped from the cave that day, named "Yi'er", because his adoptive father's surname is Tuoba, he is also named Tuoba Duyi, at this time it is already a year after the murder of the drunken rain building, and I don't know how the child wandered to the prosperous city of Tiansui City, but seeing that he was in tatters, he obviously experienced a lot of displacement, and the hardships were also considered a coincidence, and he followed other refugees to this city.
Tuoba Duyi's small body was stunned, he stopped, looked up at the boss, his eyes were cold and indifferent, his voice was a little hoarse, maybe his throat was inflamed, and said, "Why do you say bad things about Daddy!"
"Hey, you little beggar is interesting, I gave you meat buns, not only are you not grateful to me, but you still stare at me like this!" The boss of the meat buns is not happy, he is kind enough to look at him pitifully, and he gave him meat buns for free, not only did he not get a thank you, but he was also despised, and the resentment in his heart was really a little gnashing of teeth for Tuoba Duyi.
Tuoba Duyi shook his head violently, as if things in his eyes were a little blurry, shaking his head could make him wake up a little, he shifted his gaze, and he didn't pay any attention to the vendor in front of him, and slowly walked forward,
The scolding of the boss of the meat bun sounded far away: "I have no father and no mother and I am also a hooligan when I grow up, alas, I am really fucking cheap!"
Tuoba Duyi staggered and walked a few steps, but suddenly felt a pain in his arm, his toes were off the ground, and he was dragged into a narrow alley, and then his body flew out, and he fell the stone wall, snorting a few times in his mouth, it was really a pain!
But I saw two young men in their twenties, dressed in tatters, one of them still had a hideous scar on his cheek, and the other was a dysentery, this dysentery head shouted viciously: "Little bastard, you dare to beg for food to beg for our black and white territory, I think you are tired of life!"
Hearing this, Tuoba Duyi struggled to get up from the ground, although he was young, he had a big temper, and with a wave of his hand, he smashed the meat bun over.
The dysentery head caught the meat bun with his hand, it was still fragrant at this time, steaming, he laughed with his eyebrows, opened his mouth to take a hard bite, bit the scallion oil meat in the bun, and said with a bulging smile: "You kid is still a good acquaintance, and you know how to honor my uncle." ”
Tuoba Duyi's eyes were cold, and he sneered: "Sure enough, it's a meat bun beating a dog, and there is no return." ”
"What! Who the fuck are you scolding!" said the dysentery, furious.
The young man with scar spat and rushed over, his palm raised and he was about to slap him a few times.
Unexpectedly, when his palm was about to smash into Tuoba Duyi's face, a cold light flashed in Tuoba Duyi's arms, and it didn't enter the palm of this scarred young man, and it was as fast as lightning, who would react to ordinary people?
The screams began, and dripping blood flowed from the scarred youth's palm, dripping on the ground in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, it was a dagger without a sharp edge, inserted into the palm of the scarred youth.
In his anger, the young man with dysentery jumped up suddenly, his hands turned into eagle claws, and his feet became wind, as if he had practiced some moves.
Tuoba Duyi lowered his head to dodge the attacking claws, and his body retreated sharply, but his head sank suddenly, his body was unstable, and he fell to the ground.
The fierce light flashed in the eyes of the dysentery young man, and he stepped on Tuoba Duyi's calf with one foot accurately, the soles of his feet were hard, Tuoba Duyi was in pain, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and scream, this dysentery young man scolded fiercely: "Little bastard, you dare to hurt my brother, I want one of your legs today to compensate for my brother's hand injury!"
When scolding, he took out a cold and shining knife from his arms, the knife was extremely sharp, obviously often polished, aimed at Tuoba Duyi's knee, and slashed it fiercely, as if he was carrying a knife to cut chicken legs.
Screaming in pain, coughing violently, the two bodies fell together.
Tuoba Duyi was not injured at all, he slowly crawled out of the body of the dysentery young man, and his eyes became more and more cold.
The young man with scar had pulled out the dagger, and was wrapping the wound in the palm of his hand, and suddenly saw the young man with dysentery slowly falling, and the two eyes of the young man with dysentery burst out, and he was unbelievably dead, and the young man with scar trembled in his heart, and then looked at Tuoba Duyi who walked into the depths of the alley crookedly again, but he had no idea to take revenge, but the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he muttered: "He, how is he, dead?
The coughing sound disappeared in the depths of the alley, but Tuoba Duyi's body was shaky, and he fell under the tree outside the alley, his eyes were confused, his heart was dizzy, and he whispered: "Daddy, where are you, Daddy-"
Thousands of turns can always meet, who can avoid the fate of fate.
At this moment, a little scholar walked across the river, and at the bottom of the willow tree, he sang immaturely:
"The sunflower in the green garden, the morning dew waits for the sun, the spring Budeze, and all things are glorious.
Often afraid of the autumn festival to come, the yellow leaves of the yellow flower decline, the east of the hundred rivers to the sea, when to return to the west. ”
Suddenly, he also saw the young man on the other side of the river who had fainted at the bottom of the tree, and he was shocked, so he hurriedly ran around the single-plank bridge, probed Tuoba Duyi's forehead, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Wow! Your forehead is on fire, why don't you go to the doctor!"
Looking at Tuoba Duyi's chapped lips, the little scholar untied the gourd bottle from his waist and sent it to Tuoba Duyi's mouth, "Come! Hurry up and take a few sips of tea! The young master said that this chrysanthemum tea is very good, it can clear heat and detoxify." ”
Tuoba Duyi opened his eyes dimly and looked at it, his lips opened slightly, and he really swallowed a few sips of tea down his throat.
The little scholar laughed, innocent and smiling, like the spring light in March, the willow leaves are innocent, he smiled: "That's right, drink more water, all diseases are cured, no water, the boat can't drive, no water, flowers and trees can't live, so it is said that the good is like water, and the water is good for all things." ”
Unexpectedly, at a young age, he was still a nerd, and it was really in line with the fact that he was a nerd when he was out of the way, and he recited poetry with his mouth closed.
Seeing that Tuoba Duyi slowly drank most of the tea full of gourd bottles, the nerd seemed to think of something again, turned around and walked towards the market, after a while, when he came back, he had several hot buns in his hand, and half-knelt in front of Tuoba Duyi, but he looked embarrassed, and asked hesitantly: "I don't know what kind of buns you like to eat, anyway, the young master likes to eat bean paste buns, I love to eat big meat buns, Ah Cai loves to eat sauerkraut buns, and the boss has egg yolk buns, nut buns, I bought all the flavors of green vegetables and bamboo shoot buns, which flavor do you want to eat?"
After hesitating for a long time, he looked at Tuoba Duyi, who was still weak and weak in the sky, and said sadly: "It's almost dark, I have to go back to polish the ink for the young master, and if I am late, the master will have to punish me, then you can eat a meat bun, the meat bun is the best!"
As he spoke, he picked out the meat bun in his arms, broke it in half, sniffed the meat, and couldn't help but sigh to himself, "Wow! The meat bun is really the most delicious delicacy in the world!" It seemed that he also smelled the meat aroma, maybe he was hungry and really lost his sense of choice, Tuoba Duyi's teeth bit the meat bun violently, and his tongue didn't know how to roll, and the meat filling was swallowed into his throat, and then the nerd only felt that his hand was pulled violently, and the remaining bun shell was quickly wiped out.
"You eat slowly, you'll die if you swallow it, it's unlucky to die!" persuaded like this, and when he saw Tuoba Duyi swallow the three buns cleanly, the nerd swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help but sigh pitifully: "The money saved this month has been bought for you buns, it's really a loss, and this kind of business must not be done again in the future." ”
Tuoba Duyi seemed to be in spirit, his eyes opened, he glanced at the child in front of him, regardless of who he was and why he gave him food and drink, he reached out and grabbed the few remaining buns in his arms, one in his left hand and one in his right hand, gnawing wildly like a date.
The little nerd was stunned for a moment, the Tuoba Duyi glared at the eyes sharply, snatched the gourd bottle with his hand, raised it high, empty, it was already a drop of water left by him, the mouth full of bun skin mixed with various colors of bun filling, bulging the small mouth as if about to burst, he spread his legs, and stumbled forward a few steps, along the stone steps, lying on the river beach, bowing his head and burying his face directly in the river.
The nerd shouted, "Don't jump into the river!" I will tell you, I will not ask you for money, you die, I am really at a loss!"
A group of officers and men in a hurry ran by, along the stone steps and willow banks, waving their knives and shouting: "The murderer is a fierce knife and is definitely a habitual offender! The brothers will search carefully, and we must not let this terrorist go!"
The officers and soldiers rushed by, and the nerd was violently pushed to the side, blinking his eyes in shock, his face pale, and his breathing like convulsions.
The slanting sun shone on Tuoba Duyi's tattered clothes, the messy hair of weeds, suddenly raised his head high, shook it violently, the water droplets splashed, refracted the afterglow of the Dao, he breathed as much as he wanted, swallowed the breath of spring, and suddenly opened his arms, and fell heavily in the mud and sand of the river beach, looking tired but looking vigorous!
He touched his forehead and scolded: "My head hurts, I have to stew a pot of banlan root." ”
Tuoba Duyi stretched his waist, shook his hand and touched his back, his palms were covered with wet mud and sand, and he said to himself: "Tiansui City? I'm in Tiansui City, right? This time to Xuanzhen should be close, and I should be able to arrive before the end of the year." ”
At this time, the nerd snorted, probably because the group of officers and soldiers in Fang Cai were frightened enough, his eyes blinked, showing dementia, and he said to himself: "Zi said that I will not be shocked everywhere, I will not be shocked everywhere, and there will be a loss of silver, otherwise there will be no loss of life." ”
After reading it a few times like this, the nerd breathed a sigh of relief, came back from the dead, looked at the Tuoba Duyi in front of him, opened his mouth for a while, and didn't even say a punctuation mark.
The corners of Tuoba Duyi's mouth lifted, as if he wanted to say something, but he heard hurried footsteps running towards him not far away, his eyes flashed, and he looked back, and a team of officers and soldiers searched in twos and threes, shouting and scolding one after another, his eyes changed rapidly, with fear, mixed disgust, and indifference and scruples, the child's face, the complicated expression of an adult, making him look several years older than the little nerd next to him.
Turning his face, Tuoba Duyi finally looked indifferent again, glanced deeply at the nerd, and ran towards the place where the sunset set.
The nerd's heart moved, and he wanted to call him, but the evening wind blew and the green willows flew, but the figure was drowned by the setting sun and disappeared.
