Chapter 068: Bao Xu's Past
Between the back and forth, Bao Xu is like a powerful ghost, as long as the sword cuts the bone and chops the flesh, Xiao Tang is like a vigorous and fierce wolf, and there are different ways to chop and pick. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe two fought for more than ten years, and suddenly a very strange feeling arose in their hearts.
This is like the feeling of sympathy for some people when they meet their opponents in chess, but for Xiao Tang and Bao Xu, such two crazy beasts, this feeling is like a hearty pleasure generated by the struggle of life and death in the middle!
The palpitating sound of breaking the wind rolled up again, Xiao Tang staggered to dodge, Bao Xu's move was old and too violent, and he staggered forward a few steps on his legs. Between life and death, Xiao Tang knew that as long as he took advantage of the situation and chopped it down, he would be able to cut off Bao Xu's head with one sword!
Relying on the instinct of a beast, Bao Zhong, who only fought viciously with a fierce sword that sacrificed his life, also realized at this moment that he had made a fatal mistake. Bao Zhong sighed secretly, thinking that he had killed countless people, and this time he was finally going to die under someone else's knife, right?
But Xiao Tang hesitated.
Although this murderous Bao Xu is by no means an innocent person, not long ago Xiao Tang leveled Niu Wenzhong's Dazhai because Niu Wenzhong provoked him and killed him Xiao Tang's people; The reason for exterminating the Lutai Mountain Yang Duan gang was because their actions were too outrageous. But if he goes down and kills Bao Xu with this knife, then he Xiao Tang will gradually distance himself from Liangshan and other heroes in the green forests and rivers in the future, and slowly he will completely stand on the opposite side of them, and from then on, the officials and bandits will not be separated......
Xiao Tang's knife didn't swing down, he raised his knees and pressed heavily on Bao Zhong's chest. Bao Zhong took a few steps back one after another, his chest spine was in pain, and after coughing a few times, he looked at Xiao Tang with a surprised expression.
At this moment, there was a faint shouting sound outside, and Bao Xu's subordinates hurriedly said: "Brother Bao, the eagle claws are about to catch up!" Let's talk about it! ”
Bao Xu didn't hear it, he stared at Xiao Tang with a pair of tricks and said, "May I ask Your Excellency's name?" ”
Xiao Tang replied loudly: "Xiao Tang of the Daimyo Mansion." ”
Bao Xu's expression changed: "It turned out to be the face of the famous HB Langjun, and the famous mansion Xiao Renxia!" It's not unjust to be defeated in your hands, and the offense is still Wanghaihan! With that, he said hello, and withdrew with all his men.
Xiao Tang saw that this Bao Xu came suddenly and left in a hurry, and finally let go of his heart. When he entered the inn, he saw the slightly chubby shopkeeper trembling like chaff, kneeling down and kowtowing to Xiao Tang, tears raining down and grateful: "Thank you for saving your life!" If there is no grace to drive away that thief, my whole family will die at the hands of that thief!" ”.......
When the official sent the official to the inn, he learned that it was Xiao Tang who repelled the fierce and vicious villain, and they all had no words to praise and worship. After a rough description of what happened, Xiao Tang instructed his subordinates to go back to the room to rest, and the next morning after dinner, the innkeeper refused to accept Xiao Tang's room money and meals, and after a thousand thanks, Xiao Tang and Xiao Yi, Xue Yong and others took the dart team on the road again.
But after walking for about two hours, when Xiao Tang and his convoy came to a mountain valley, they saw Bao Xu and more than 40 thieves waiting there from a distance. Xiao Yi, Xue Yong and the others immediately had guns in their hands and looked vigilant, while Xiao An was so frightened that he hid behind a dart cart and poked out half of his head to look at Bao Xu's gang in horror.
Xue Yong said angrily: "This gang of thieves doesn't know what to do, and they even dare to come to find our bad luck!" ”
"Rest easy." Xiao Tang stretched out his hand to grab Xue Yong, looked at Bao Xu's movements, and said, "Let's see what they have in mind first." ”
After a stalemate for a while, he saw Bao Xu stand up and sing to Xiao Tang Yaoyao, and then made a "please" gesture, and said to Xiao Yi, Xue Yong and the others: "Don't act rashly, I'll come when I go." ”
"Young master! I'm afraid that the thief will be deceitful! Xiao Yi hurriedly said to Xiao Tang.
"Come but don't go, but it's disrespectful." After that, Xiao Tang drove his horse to Bao Xu, turned over and dismounted, and said to Bao Xu with a calm face: "I don't know what else to advise?" ”
Bao Xu pointed to the jar and wine bowl beside him, and said, "I want to have a few bowls of water and wine with Xiao Renxia." ”
Xiao Tang didn't answer either, and sat cross-legged on the ground. Bao Xu lifted the jar and poured two bowls, handed the wine bowl to Xiao Tang and said: "I have heard for a long time that Xiao Tang, a man in the famous mansion, is anxious for justice and righteousness, and is a good man. It is Xiao Ke's honor to be able to eat and drink with Xiao Renxia. ”
When the wine bowl was brought to his mouth, Bao Xu said again: "I know that Xiao Renxia intended to spare me and not kill me last night, this kindness and virtue I Bao Xu remember, I will do this bowl of wine first as a respect!" With that, Bao Xu raised his neck and drank all the spirits in the bowl.
After Xiao Tang groaned for a while, he suddenly spoke: "Frankly speaking, although I let you go, I regret it a little in my heart. ”
The expression on Bao Xu's face did not change, and he said to Xiao Tang Youyou: "Oh? Then Xiao Renxia wants to kill me now? ”
"I've heard your name for a long time." Xiao Tang looked directly at Bao Xu and said in a condensed voice: "The god of mourning who had to kill people in his life, how many lives have been harmed by this hand?" Last night, I saw you kill the shopkeeper's second child, and I'm usually afraid that I will kill good people in vain, right? I'm wondering if if I'm going to hurt more people if I spare your life! ”
Xiao Tang's tone became stronger and stronger, but Bao Xu's eyes were empty, and he listened to Xiao Tang quietly, and after a long time, he suddenly said: "If I say that I have never killed innocent people, will Xiao Renxia believe me?" That inn colluded with the government to plot against me, of course I didn't allow him. But if I can't hurt Bao Xu, why should I kill him? ”
Xiao Tang's face sank immediately, and he said sharply: "If you miss my kindness, don't seek revenge from that inn again!" ”
Bao Xu poured another bowl of wine, nodded and said, "I admire Xiao Renxia's chivalrous name and personality, and I will also agree to this." But...... Does Xiao Renxia want to hear a story? ”
I saw Bao Xu suddenly raise his head and look at the sky, and said in a cold and numb tone: "I was born in a poor peasant tenant household, my father worked long hours in a large family, and my mother did not talk about housework, and I had to go to the fields all day long to grow grain and ask for food and clothing.
The young master of the big family raised a few helpers... I was just a child at the time, and I only knew that I was afraid of begging for mercy, and I didn't know where I offended them. There was a big man who had practiced martial arts in that group of gangsters, and he was so vicious that every time I saw him, I would be terrified, as if I had seen a demon......"
Listening to Bao Xu talk about his past, Xiao Tang stopped talking, but listened quietly.
Bao Xu continued: "My father was scolded and whipped by the big family because of his wooden personality. Once, he was beaten so badly that my father was dying and died within a few days of returning. This kind of thing in the countryside is that the people do not raise officials and do not hold accountable, my mother is pregnant, and she does not dare to report to the official, but she just cries in front of the big family with a big belly all day long to ask for an explanation, and the big family is annoyed by my mother, and sends those family members to help drive my mother away, and someone kicked her in the stomach at that time......
It's ridiculous, although I hated it at that time, I didn't dare to take revenge at all, I was just afraid... Afraid that he would not be able to survive, no one in the other households would complain about our family, and the young master of the big family also took the opportunity to warn the other poor households: Killing someone like us is like killing a dog. ”
Xiao Tang listened to Bao Xu talk about his tragic past, and he suddenly remembered that he had read some criminal psychology-related materials in his previous life: due to long-term frustration and inequality, murderers will not look at interpersonal relationships normally, and they will see people as violent, bullying and being bullied. Under the inducements of isolation, introversion, and internal strength and external inhibition, the distorted ideology of the killer gradually takes shape, and as long as there is a trigger point in their life, it will immediately turn on the switch of killing for them.
Bao Xu, he is not the heavenly killer Li Kui who kills indiscriminately because of his nature, is this the reason why his temperament has changed greatly?
As he was talking, Bao Xu let out his strange and gloomy laugh again, and said: "Finally, one time, the young master of the big family didn't know what was going wrong, and beat me up to be angry. I just remember being kicked on the head and my mind went blank... When I came to my senses again, I found myself covered in blood and a sharp knife in my hand, and then I realized that I had stabbed the young master alive in the stomach.
The young master helped the big man who had practiced martial arts, the one I had feared him so much, and when he saw my appearance, he was so frightened that he was so scared that he was urinating, and before I stabbed the knife into his throat, he kept kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, crying and scolding my mother and begging me to spare his life......"
Bao Xu's expression was strange, and he stared straight at Xiao Tang and said: "At that time, I finally understood, if people like me want to live and live better, I can only kill!" can only be more ruthless than anyone else! Over time, I got used to it.
In this world, people are full of ghosts, and evil ghosts live like people, but people who are kind and gentle live like no ghosts, rather than this, it is better to be the most murderous evil ghosts, so that everyone is afraid, so that everyone can live happily, isn't it? ”
Xiao Tang shook his head and said, "But I'm afraid that if you act like this, there will only be more and more evil ghosts in this world!" ”
Bao Xu smiled lightly and said: "I have heard for a long time that Xiao Renxia sent Jingniang thousands of miles away, and killed the powerful on the long street. But you can't save the world, you can't save me and my parents, so I can only save myself. ”
Before Xiao Tang could speak, Bao Xu stood up and said leisurely: "It seems that this wine will not be enjoyable to drink again, so let's stop here!" Although Xiao Renxia can rest assured, although I, Bao Xu, am a grasshopper, I am also a man of his word. shouldn't be killed, I, Bao Xu, will never harm his life, but I won't let go of anyone who should be killed! ”
Xiao Tang's lips moved slightly, and he stopped talking. Since he saved Bao Xu's life with a single thought, he would no longer want to get rid of him at this time. Seeing Bao Xu punching at him, he took a group of subordinates and left.
