The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and there are few pedestrians on the streets of Xiayu City, some of them are running the rivers and lakes, going to business, and ordinary people, hiding in the restaurant to avoid the rain, so that the liquor business that I thought had nothing to do today is more popular than usual.

A big man walked into the liquor store and cursed at the damn weather as he took off his coat.

There are only two people sitting at a table in the center of the restaurant, a man and a woman, both under the age of 20.

The man wears a long sword at his waist, is dressed in white, holds a fan in his hand, has a graceful demeanor, is handsome, and his eyebrows are full of arrogance.

The woman is beautiful and beautiful, wearing a goose yellow dress, and she knows that she is everyone's lady at a glance.

At several tables and chairs around the two of them, there were more than 20 men with sharp blades on their waists, protecting the girls and young people in the middle, so that although other people in the restaurant coveted the beauty of the girl, they only dared to peek at it.

The big man who came in from outside walked up to the girl, and the guard with his own knife took his robe, and then said respectfully: "Miss, it has been arranged." ”

The girl bowed her head, but still asked with some unease, "The weather is abnormal, after this heavy rain, the wolf pack of Shadow Mountain is more active, and there are enough people?"

Dahan smiled and said: "Miss, don't worry, if it weren't for the heavy rain, just us would be able to enter the mountain, not to mention that You Shaoxia is here, are you afraid of this Shadow Mountain wolf pack?"

You Shaoxia, who was at the same table with the girl, listened to his flattery, felt proud, and said flatly: "Since we met, it is fate, Miss Xuexin can rest assured, as long as my sword is here, Miss will ensure that Miss arrives in Fengzhou City safely." ”

"Then thank you Shaoxia. The girl who was called Xuexin smiled gently, and the hall suddenly became bright, and You Shaoxia's mouth was dry for a while.

After Jiang Xuexin thanked him politely, he still said: "Although Gongzi You is not afraid of wolves, he can avoid it, after all, we still have a lot of goods with us. Let's recruit more people. ”

Xue Xin said it decently, and You Shaoxia was very comfortable listening to it.

Although Dahan likes to pat himself on the back, he still knows how to be cautious in doing things, and nodded and said: "The manpower is almost the same, in fact, there are not many people in the rivers and lakes here who have real skills, but the wolves in the Shadow Mountain are cunning and cautious, and there are many people, but they can also scare this group of beasts and dare not move." These people can just hold up the momentum. ”

Dahan said this, which immediately caused the other Jianghu people in the restaurant to look at them angrily, obviously they were those who were hired to serve as soldiers.

But they just glared angrily, at most of them were about the same skills as the girl's guards, much worse than the big man, and even more incomparable with You Shaoxia, who was from a famous and upright family.

That is the top three Qingfeng Sword Sect disciples in Fengzhou, who have not passed the weak crown, and are already close to consummation of the Taixuan Realm at a young age.

In addition to the imperial court, the world's great forces are the first to promote the eight great families, Taoism and Demon Sect are only second, and the last one is just emerging to divide the four wings of the four southeastern states.

But there are also many sect forces under this, although the background is not comparable to those behemoths that can intimidate the imperial court, but they can also dominate one side.

The Qingfeng Sword Sect is one of the three most famous gangs in Fengzhou, and there are several great masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm in the gate, which can be regarded as a famous faction.

Moreover, the external forces are not like the Eight Great Families, and the cultivation of the three major realms in the Eight Great Families is the Taixuan Realm, and the Heavenly and Human Realm is the Heavenly and Human Realm, and it will not be subdivided at all, because the Eight Great Families have produced many geniuses, and the divine skills have been inherited innumerably, and it is common for the weak to defeat the high cultivation in the same realm, and even more, it is not strange for a genius who comes out once in a few decades to defeat the Heavenly and Human Realm in the Taixuan Realm.

The reason why the children of the Chu family in the Chu family have only heard that Chu Long can leapfrog the challenge is because even the weakest steward in the Chu family is more than a step stronger than the ordinary masters of the Heavenly and Human Realms outside.

But outside the eight families, it is different, the martial artists are divided according to their strength, and in the Heavenly and Human Realm and the Taixuan Realm, they are subdivided into entry, Xiaocheng, Dacheng and Consummation, and the so-called Consummation is the peak of the great realm of the Chu family.

Just as the big man received the order and went to find a few more people, a man in tattered clothes like a beggar walked in in the heavy rain.

There is no rain gear, and the hair is messy**, although I can't see my face clearly, but I can see that I am not very old.

Seeing this person come in, many people frowned, and Xiao Er hurried over to catch up with him.

"Walk around, there's nothing to give you here. It's really unlucky, don't make the place dirty, bad guy business. ”

Xiao Er drove over like a fly, and the beggar-like man also took a step back and fell into the rain, his eyes through Xiao Er, and fell on the table in the middle.

"I heard that there are people here who recruit warriors to escort the convoy to Toyosu Castle. ”

The people in the store were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, Xiao Er's face changed, afraid of offending the distinguished customer, and rolled up his sleeves to teach this beggar who didn't know what to do.

"It's up to you, little beggar, if you don't want to break a few bones, hurry up. ”

The boy dressed as a beggar seemed to be really scared and turned and walked into the rain.

"Wait. ”

A rough voice stopped the boy, and a big man strode in.

As soon as the boy turned around, a tael of silver was thrown at him.

Dahan spat out a mouthful of thick foam and drank: "My young lady is kind, don't worry about you, take the silver and let the master go." ”

He turned his head back with an unhappy expression.

The beggar boy glanced at the broken silver in his hand, and then looked up at the girl in the center of the restaurant, but giving some money to the beggar was just her kindness for a while, and then she didn't look at this side again, but the young man next to her looked at him with disgust.

The young man put away the silver, and his voice was clear, and it was transmitted into the restaurant: "After receiving the silver, you will do things." ”

There was laughter again in the restaurant, and a Jianghu man patted his thigh and said, "Oh, this kid is so funny, I laughed so much that my tears were about to come out." ”

Jiang Xuexin also frowned lightly when he heard this, although You Gongzi was disgusted, but he didn't show it in front of the girl, but just sneered: "Miss Xuexin is kind-hearted, but this kid is really thick-skinned, and he wasted the girl's kindness." ”

Xue Xin smiled slightly, and didn't pay any more attention.

The young man outside wanted to walk in, but was stopped by Xiao Er, but this time he was really angry, and raised his eyebrows and said: "Boy, if you don't leave, you won't have a chance, don't say I won't warn you." ”

The young man retracted his steps, handed out the silver and said, "I want three white-flour steamed buns." ”

Xiao Er was slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked down at his silver, although he didn't want to do his business, but the money-hungry shopkeeper was staring at the back, and the beautiful lady was kind-hearted, and she didn't really offend her as a villain, so she snorted and said: "It's okay to ask for steamed buns, but don't come in and dirty the place." ”

As he spoke, he snatched the silver, and soon came back with three hot steamed buns and a bag of copper coins and threw them to the beggar.

The beggar boy put the copper coin in his arms and left the door of the restaurant with three steamed buns in his hand.

The big man who gave him the silver snorted: "I knew that I would have given him three steamed buns and sent him away." ”

The beggar in the heavy rain brought a joke to the restaurant, and no one will take it to heart again.

The beggar boy walked to the alley next to the restaurant and sat down next to the wall, and the rain brought by the heavy rain flooded the soles of his feet in the poorly drained alley, and the rain washed up the garbage and mud in the alley, showing a disgusting blackness.

But the boy didn't care at all, and sat on the ground like a real beggar and began to eat steamed buns that were still steaming.

He hadn't had food for two days.

A touch of purple appeared in the heavy rain, and in the mist of the rain, a woman who could only be described as perfect walked slowly, and the surrounding rain seemed to be afraid and as if it could not bear to offend such a woman, and they all gently bypassed her.

Standing in the rain, she is the only scenery in the world.

It's just that at this time, she has a cold face, and she is standing beside the beggar boy like this.

The young man who used to be called Chu Xiaowen raised his head, glanced at her, and then focused on his own food.

It has been a year since he left the Chu family, and a year is only half of his original goal.

When he first came out of the rivers and lakes, there was no elder to mention it, and he knew what the rivers and lakes were sinister before he got out of Yangzhou.

On the third day of leaving Nanyang City, because of kindness to help a pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he was poisoned after being led to the deep mountains.

Two days later, an old man spied on the only remaining dagger, and was tricked into the mountains and forests again, but he entered a cottage.

That day he killed for the first time, and he killed more than twenty people.

Standing in a pool of blood, he vomited and almost fainted, and would be awakened by nightmares for more than ten nights.

He starved next to each other, relied on the wild beasts he hunted when passing through the mountains and forests to satisfy his hunger, stumbled, deceived all the way, killed people all the way, and came here.

Now he has no capital to be deceived, and he has deeply realized the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes, and he hides the dagger in his arms, even if he is alone, he will not take it out easily.

All that was left of the body was a dagger and a broken sword, two things that could not be lost even if the blood on the body was drained.

A back door opened in the alley, and two big men came out with a scrawny child and threw her into the rain.

"Grandma's, grandpa, it's a waste of rice for me to raise you. ”

The child was skinny, and his clothes were like a rag that cut three holes to make her head and hands stick.

This is a female slave, not necessarily smaller than a teenager, but her body is like no flesh, and she looks four or five years younger.

Such a thin slave was thrown to the ground, and one could not help but worry that she would be scattered like this.

It's just that she didn't fall apart, and slowly propped up her body to get up.

One of the villains, drenched in the heavy rain and in an even more irritable mood, stepped forward and kicked her out of the way, just rolling right next to the boy.

The black sewage turned bright red, and the slave girl was lying in the sewage, her body twitching, trying to get up again.

The wicked man still felt depressed, and he was about to step on the slave girl's head after a few steps.

With her weak body, no one would doubt that this kick could trample her to death. And the lives of slaves are simply worthless.

But suddenly a hand stretched out next to him and grabbed the evil man's feet.

The wicked man was stunned for a moment, and his feet were strained, but the dirty hand was like an iron tong, so that his feet could not move at all.

The wicked man looked at the owner of the hand with a fierce look on his face.

A beggar-like teenager sits in the corner of an alley on a rainy day, holding a half-bitten steamed bun in one hand.

As soon as he touched the young man's eyes, the wicked man's whole body shook for no reason, and an incomparably cold breath pierced his heart, making his soul tremble.

"Dry. ”

The wicked man scolded and withdrew his foot, but the boy did not stop him.

The villain turned and left, his companion's brow furrowed, and he asked, "What are you doing?"

The wicked man was still a little apprehensive, and scolded: "Why do you ask so much?"

His companion glanced at the boy with a wry look, and when the two returned, they saw another woman dressed as a slave by the door shrinking back in a panic.

The two of them immediately laughed, and the evil man who had just kicked out strode forward: "This is what I borrowed from the side? ”

The two rushed through the door, followed by a woman's screams and a man's lewd laughter.

The young man in the alley reached into his arms and grasped the hilt of the knife, and a murderous aura like substance emanated, and the slave girl closest to him trembled even more as she lay in the water.

Two narrow eyes peeked out of his unkempt hair, looking at the teenager in front of him in fear.

His eyes were fixed on the small closed door, like a grim reaper coming from the nine shadows.

The rain washed away the stains on his face, revealing the handsome face, and the eyes of the slave girl crawling in the water suddenly widened, and the original fear slowly disappeared in this murderous aura.

After some time, the sound behind the door disappeared, and the boy finally did not take out the dagger in his arms.

His eyes dimmed, and Zun Wuyi snorted coldly: "You can go and kill these beasts now, but you can't save that slave girl, you either kill her too, or you will only make her suffer more inhumane treatment." ”

"I know. ”

The boy lowered his head, reached out and grabbed the little slave girl's arm, and lifted her up against the wall.

The little slave girl didn't know to be afraid, but just looked at him fixedly, as if there was something different in her empty eyes.

The boy put a steamed bun in her hand and said briefly, "Eat." ”

The little slave girl looked at the steamed buns in her hands that were swollen by the rain and there was no warm steamed buns, her ugly facial features bloomed with unprecedented light, and she bit down half of the steamed buns and swallowed the blood in her mouth.
