Chapter 1 Thousand Cow Town
Crape Myrtle Star, Qianluo Continent, Southern Wilderness Zone.
The sun is setting, the autumn wind is hunting, on a quaint path outside Qianniu Town, a boy who seems to be eleven or twelve years old is walking with a baby girl who is only more than a year old, and behind him are three little boys who are only five or six years old.
They were all orphans, either their parents died, or they were abandoned on the side of the road and adopted by Gu San because their families were poor and could not afford to support them.
Fang Qi is six years old this year, it was discovered by Gu San in a collapsed mansion four years ago, and then adopted, he was the first person to follow Gu San, Gu San knew that the family's mansion surname was Fang, and it was a famous big family in this neighborhood, because he often went around begging for a certain life, and he also knew that the Fang family had a little son Fang Qi two years ago, but for some reason the Fang family collapsed overnight, and the only one who survived was Fang Qi, or Gu San found it in the abandoned pyre.
The other two boys are called Wang Monkey and General Xiang, they were adopted by Gu San three years ago, because they don't know the names of the two, they named them well, the baby girl in Gu San's hands was found by Fang Qi on a winter night more than half a year ago in the grass on the side of the road, so he also followed Gu San, because of the snow on the winter night, Gu San named it Ye Xue.
Gu San has a habit, he will not take his brothers to the town to beg during the day, he is afraid that this will cast a shadow on his younger brothers, and when they grow up, others will look down on them, and take a few younger brothers to the river to catch some fish or go into the mountains to bake some small beasts to satisfy hunger, and only at night will he take his younger brothers to the town to find some food, and the people in the town will always leave some leftovers at the end of the day after a busy day, which can be regarded as barely satisfying hunger, and it will always be easier to go out to beg at night, not as easy to make people disgusted and irritable as during the day, so Gu San's life will always be better than the life of other wanderers, and even with a few children, it will not starve to the point of death.
"Big brother, I'm hungry. Wang Monkey was wearing a tattered coat, almost dragging to the ground, but it was very clean, pulling at the back corner of Gu San's clothes, looking listless, and several other people were also the same, looking at Gu San hopefully.
Gu San showed a reluctant smile and said, "Wait a little longer, we will arrive in Qianniu Town soon, and we will be able to eat when we arrive in Qianniu Town." ”
The sky was getting dark, and Gu San couldn't help but speed up his pace, Qianniu Town was already in front of him, and a gust of wind blew, which lifted the spirits of several children from time to time.
Although night is coming, Qianniu Town is still lively, with endless flow of people and lights like day.
Gu San has never been out of Qianniu Town, nor has he ever walked out of the mountains and rivers here, only knowing that Qianniu Town is in the mountains, it is the only place where people gather for hundreds or even hundreds of miles around, and it is also the most prosperous place, as long as you leave Qianniu Town for dozens of miles, it is difficult to see people again.
With a few of his younger brothers, Gu San entered the town of Qianniu, as soon as he entered the crowd, a wave of anger came to his face, the kind of life gas gathered by the same kind, Gu San liked it very much, but he understood that he was out of place with the crowd, and was not suitable for being in such an environment, a wanderer like him, no matter where he went, was not a popular one, he could only hide quietly, he remembered a few years ago, a homeless man was beaten to death for robbing a beast chicken, hungry, he could only endure it, and the cold could only suffer by himself, everything was just to survive。
At least in Gu San's understanding, a person can live is the greatest happiness, and he doesn't want anything.
"Uncle, give me something to eat, our brothers and sisters haven't eaten for several days......" Gu San came to a stall selling steamed buns with Ye Xue in his arms and begged, his eyes were full of hope, he looked very pitiful, in order to be able to get food, in order to survive, he didn't care about this.
The stall owner looked at Gu San, and then looked at Fang Qi and the others behind Gu San, he wanted to scold a few words, but he couldn't bear it, thinking that the night was getting thicker at this time, and then looked at the steamed buns in the steamer, but there were not a few left, he couldn't help but think about it, so he wrapped up the remaining buns, and said to Gu San: "You can take these snowbird bags, I also happened to go home." ”
"Uncle Xie Lu, Uncle Xie Lu!" Gu San nodded with Fang Qi and thanked him, he was still lucky tonight, he caught up with the buns sent by the well-wishers as soon as he came, and the brothers who hadn't eaten a full stomach for a day can finally enjoy it now.
"Come, Wang Monkey, General Xiang, Fang Qi, each of you has two snowbird bags. Gu San distributed the snowbird bag that was just given by a kind person, and after the distribution, there was one left in his hand, and he couldn't help but look at Ye Xue in his arms, Gu San put away the last snowbird bag and put it in his arms.
And at this moment, a rough voice came into Gu San's ears.
"Bring it to you. ”
Gu San turned his head to look, and saw a back running away quickly, and Wang Monkey was desperately chasing after that back at this time, and shouted from time to time: "Return my snowbird bag, return my snowbird bag......" And because the general and Fang Qi were standing a little inside, facing Gu San, the snowbird bag in his hand was not snatched away.
"Fang Qi, come and hug Sister Xue'er. Gu San put Ye Xue in Fang Qi's hands, and couldn't help but chase after him.
Seeing that Gu San and Wang Monkey were chasing down, Fang Qi couldn't help but follow Ye Xue and Jiang Xiang in his arms, one was the eldest brother and the other was the younger brother, how could they not worry in their hearts? And it seems that the person who grabbed the snowbird bag is not young, for a homeless person like them, it is common for the food to be robbed of the food they have worked so hard to get, and the best way is to eat the food as soon as they get it, which is also the safest way.
In the night, the back kept running in front, and the king monkey and the general followed closely behind, suddenly, the back turned towards an empty alley, and the whole person disappeared, and when Gu San and the king monkey entered this alley, they saw two people standing at the end of the alley, as if waiting for their arrival.
"Give me back the snowbird bag. As soon as Wang Monkey saw the person who snatched his bun, he couldn't help but shout loudly, and his heart was very angry.
"It's broken. As soon as Gu San saw this situation, he knew that things were not easy to do, if they didn't chase them down, it would be okay, and the buns would be lost, but now things are not easy to say, the two people on the other side seem to be dozens of years old, they are all wanderers like them, their hair is unkempt, their clothes are not covered, and the situation seems to be worse than them.
"Two little ones called Hanako...... one of them walked out with a strange smile, looking at Gu San and Wang Monkey seemed to be like looking at two lambs out of the circle, "Aren't they just two snowbird buns......?
Gu San intuitively pulled the king monkey to his side and wanted to exit the ancient alley, but at this moment, a voice came, "Let go of us, let go of us." "Who is this not the voice of the general?
At this moment, two more wanderers came over from the back of the ancient alley, carrying Fang Qi and Jiang Xiang respectively, but Fang Qi held Ye Xue in his arms so that she would not be hurt at all.
"Let go of my brother. Gu San was in a hurry, and suddenly rushed towards the man who was holding Fang Qi, but as soon as the person lifted his foot, he kicked Gu San directly in the abdomen, but in an instant, Gu San squatted on the ground with his stomach in his hand and couldn't get up, and a trace of blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth, which shows the weight of the kick just now, and Gu San is only an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.
"Big brother ......" Fang Qi couldn't help but be anxious when he saw Gu San being kicked to the ground, but he didn't have the slightest way, in the hands of adults, he had no power to resist, not only Fang Qi was anxious, Wang Monkey and the general were the same, this was their eldest brother.
"You actually beat my eldest brother, I fought with you. The king monkey shouted childishly, took a stick on the ground in this empty alley and rushed towards the man, and the result can be imagined, the man raised his hand is a slap, and directly slapped the king monkey to the ground.
"Wow......" Wang Monkey coughed in his mouth, and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Gu San reluctantly raised his head at this time, looked at Wang Monkey, and his eyes were hot, "Brother ......"
The four wanderers couldn't help but surround Gu San and the others in the middle at this time, "How about it, these little guys are good, right?" said one of the wanderers.
"Well, it can be sold for a good price. Someone else echoed and said, then looked at Fang Qi's hand, "Well, yes, yes, there is a little doll here, and today can be regarded as a big profit." ”
Gu San panicked at this time, they were going to sell his younger brothers? This is unacceptable to Gu San, even if he becomes a wanderer, he is not willing to be a slave and a servant.
"Brothers, seniors, today I don't have long eyes, I offended you, please let my brother go, let me do anything, and give you everything I get in the future. Gu San's eyes were hazy at this time, and he couldn't help but kowtow, begging a few wanderers to let them go.
"Get out of the way. One of the wanderers was annoyed, and directly raised his leg and kicked again, which kicked Gu San's jaw, causing Gu San to roll around in the air directly before falling to the ground with a bang, his mouth was already full of blood, and several teeth were coughed out by him.
"Brothers, go. A few wanderers couldn't help but look at Gu San lying on the ground with contempt, Fang Qi They are still young, they can sell it for a good price, especially the baby in Fang Qi's hand, it should be able to sell it for a sky-high price in their hearts, and Gu San can't, he is like a broken copper and broken iron, although he can also sell for money, but now it is like a burden, with gold and jade, who will be rare copper and iron rotten tiles?
Wang Monkey and General Xiang were held in the hands of several wanderers, and they couldn't help shouting, "Let go of us, let us go quickly......"
"Be quiet for Lao Tzu. A homeless man directly slapped Jiang Xiang in the face, leaving five finger prints, but Jiang Xiang did not cry, he knew that crying could not solve any problems, this is what Gu San told him before, the man bleed without tears.
However, things didn't seem to be so simple, just when the four wanderers were about to walk out of the empty alley carrying Fang Qi and the brothers, a bright light appeared out of thin air, and then they saw an old man in white blocking the way of several people.
"Let go of these children, and you can leave. The old man said with a smile, as if joking with them, the old man looked very old, his hair was like snow, his beard was like frost, and the wrinkles on his face were like a thousand miles of ravines, criss-crossed, and the traces of the years were greatly revealed, at a glance, but the old man's eyes were incomparably deep, like stars in the sky, although the old man looked old, but his spirit was extremely vibrant, and his smile at this time was incomparably kind and kind.
"Old immortal, get out of the way, otherwise I want you to go to see the Nine Shadows Yama King today. The wanderer who walked in front saw an old man appear in front of him out of thin air, and although he thought it was strange, there was nothing strange about the other side, and he couldn't help but shout.
Fang Qi couldn't help but widen his eyes, especially Fang Qi, he saw that this old man really appeared in front of him out of thin air just now, his heart was extremely complicated for a while, he understood that this old man must be an immortal senior, their brother was saved.
The old man was not angry at the wanderer's words, but still smiled and said, "I repeat, let go of these children, you can leave." ”
"Old immortal dog thing. When a homeless man saw that this old man was so ignorant, he couldn't help but smash his fist directly at the old man's face.
It's also strange to say, Fang Qi and the others watched the wanderer smash the old man's fist into the old man's face, but it was a matter of an instant, the old man raised his hand and waved it at will, and the four wanderers disappeared, and the three Fang Qi brothers also fell to the ground smoothly.
