Volume 1 Chapter 262 Acquaintance
The young man in white walked slowly on the street, he was too beautiful and his temperament was too pure, like the person in the painting, incompatible with the atmosphere of Dark Moon City, giving people the feeling of standing out from the crowd.
The cultivator's sense of breath is much more acute than that of ordinary people, and occasionally a few samurai come up to them, and when they see the young man, they consciously avoid the side, the young man has a mountain-like grand atmosphere, and they can see that the other party is extremely difficult to mess with.
A bunch of ragged kids on the corner looked at him secretly, and in their eyes, the boy was a very beautiful and rich big brother, and of course, the latter was more crucial.
The children discussed in a low voice for a moment, and one of the eldest children came up timidly with a bowl and shouted in a crisp voice: "Big brother, have mercy on me, give me something to eat......
The young man frowned slightly, his eyes looked at the child, it was already winter, he was only wearing a single coat, the holes in the clothes were innumerable, the shoes were brittle and rotten, revealing black toes, he shook his head, took out two silver coins from his pocket, and threw them to the begging child.
The beggar's child took the silver coin, almost couldn't believe his eyes, looked at it fixedly for a moment, let out a cheer, and then shouted in a stack: "Brother Xie Lu, big brother Xie Lu, big brother Xie ......"
The peeking children were originally a little scared, but when they saw that the rich big brother made a move, it was two silver coins, and their eyes lit up, and one of the children unconsciously took a step forward, and the other children took his movements as a signal and rushed forward.
"Big brother, help me ......"
"Big brother, give me some money"
"Don't rob it, I still have my parents, grandparents, and grandparents at home, and I'm so hungry that I can't get out of bed......"
"I'm hungry too"
A group of children rushed over like crazy, and even the child who had already begged for money woke up like a dream, stretched out his hands again and shouted: "Big brother, give me more......
If it was just a few copper coins, the children would never be so crazy, in case they annoyed someone, they would not be able to commit a beating, but the silver coins given by the boy made the children's hearts burn, not to mention that they believed that the boy had more money on him.
The so-called promotion of rice to raise grace, fighting rice to raise hatred, is also a similar truth, a few copper coins, in exchange for gratitude, silver coins and gold coins, in exchange for endless desire.
The young man saw the children pounce on him, waving his dirty hands wildly, he was a little panicked, and involuntarily took a few steps back, clenched his fists, as if he was going to hit out, but when he saw the children's pitiful appearance, he let go of his hand again, and then in a hurry, he simply took out the money bag and threw it far away.
The children changed direction and scrambled to the purse, which was quickly torn apart and the coins were scattered all over the floor.
"There are gold coins, there are gold coins, and they are mine"
"And the Golden Ticket Ha Lu Ha ......"
"Mine Mine"
The scramble quickly escalated, and at last it turned into a brawl, and a small but clever child broke out of the crowd, holding a golden ticket in one hand and a few gold coins in the other, and was thrown to the ground by a large child just after running two steps.
The thin boy struggled desperately, but the difference in strength was too great, and the other party was so ruthless that he grabbed him by the hair and slammed him on the ground, and in a few strokes he was hit to the head and bled out, and the gold tickets and coins were also snatched away.
The young man didn't expect that he was kind for a while, and he actually started a fight, and wanted to go up to stop it, but he knew that his hands and feet were too heavy, and now he was facing a breakthrough, and he couldn't control his strength, so he hesitated there.
At this time, several big men in the distance rushed over, and a sharp-eyed child saw it and shouted: "Run, Hao Cripple, they are coming."
The children were frightened and fled in all directions, and the scene of the fight became empty in a blink of an eye, and there was nothing left on the streets, even the money bags were taken.
The boy wanted to go over and help the child who had been beaten to the head and bleed, and as soon as he took a step, the child was already staggering to his feet, and chased him down the alley while crying: "Give it back to me, that's my ......"
The young man smiled wryly, swept his target, and suddenly found a young woman looking at him in the snack shop on the side of the road, and the eyes of the two sides met, and the woman sighed obviously, turned and walked back to the store
Although he did not speak, the boy sensed that the woman had some reproach, and he was embarrassed, and then a pungent aroma wafted out of the snack shop, and he paused and walked slowly to the snack shop.
Because it was not time to eat, there was no one in the snack shop, the woman turned her head and saw the young man, a little surprised, and then walked up with a smile: "Young master, try the egg cake here, the egg is the egg of the golden chicken in the mountain, it is very nourishing to the body, and the noodles are also high-quality noodles, young master, you ......"
"Bring me two. The boy cut off the other man's words.
"Okay, you sit and wait, and you'll be fine right away. The young woman laughed.
The young man glanced around, his footsteps did not move, the young woman was very clever, hurriedly grabbed the rag, and wiped it vigorously on a chair, in fact, the tables and chairs were very clean, but because of the age, they looked dirty and broken.
"Young master, sit down. The young woman said, "It's already clean." β
The young man didn't actually want to sit, but he didn't want to lose face too much, so he had to step forward and sit down slowly, and said softly, "Xie Lu Xie." β
"Young Master, you are too polite. Flattered, the young woman quietly stepped back and headed for the kitchen.
In a short time, two fragrant omelets were baked, and the young woman came out with a plate and gently placed them in front of the boy.
The young man picked up the chopsticks and ate slowly, his movements were very elegant, and his appearance was like a sinking fish and a goose, in the eyes of the young woman, he felt indescribably good-looking.
After a while, the young woman couldn't help it, leaned over to the young man, and said in a low voice, "Young master, I don't know if I should say a few words. β
"Say it. The young master smiled: "Someone told me that usually when you hear this sentence, then no matter what, you can't stop the other party from talking about it." β
The young woman was stunned, then covered her mouth and smiled: "Young master, you are really interesting. β
The young woman had a very delicate smile, a pair of small tiger teeth, and a pair of talking eyes, which was quite beautiful.
"Actually, I know that Young Master Lu Dao, you are kind-hearted, and you pity those children who have no home, but...... You're hurting them by doing this," the young woman lowered her voice and said, "Hao Cripple will not let them go, and he will definitely loot all the money, and if any child dares to deny it, or run away, the corpse may float up in the Xiushui River tomorrow." β
"Who is the cripple Hao?" a murderous aura flashed in the young man's eyes.
"A gangster, who lives by sucking the blood and sweat of those children, and I don't know how many children have died in his hands over the years. The young woman was nervous, and as she spoke, she looked outside, not seeing any change in the boy.
"No one cares about him?" said the young master coldly.
"Alas...... It's not just that I met it, no one will care about this trivial thing, that Hao Cripple has an elder brother, and it's not a thing, he actually broke the child's hands and feet, so that he could get more money, and then he was seen by the old man Huai and threw his brother into the wolf's den, and now, Hao Cripple has been much more restrained than before. "The young woman is humane.
The young man was silent for a moment, exhaled softly, and then said, "How much?"
"Twenty coppers. "The young woman is humane.
The young master put his hand in his pocket, stunned, and then slowly took out his hand and groped around on his body, but he touched it around, but he didn't feel anything.
The young woman was very clever, waited for a moment, showed a look of disbelief and couldn't help but laugh on her face, and asked tentatively, "Young Master, are you...... You gave all the money to the kids?"
"Ahem......" The young man coughed, his face was slightly red, and he said embarrassedly: "Can it be recorded in the account?"
The young woman sighed and laughed at the same time: "Young master, see that you are like a person made of jade, how do you do things so confused? Forget it, you have a good heart, I am not bad, twenty coppers, I will repay you for those children." β
"How can I do that? I must pay it back," the young man said.
"Okay, you have the final say, remember to pay me back when you have money, hehe......" the young woman laughed.
The boy became more and more embarrassed, and slowly stood up.
"Young Master, are you here to join your family?" asked the young woman.
The boy shook his head.
"Is that looking for a friend?"
The boy shook his head again.
"Did you sneak away from home?" asked the young woman again.
The young man shook his head, then was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "You...... How do you know the way?"
"Rewarding a few beggars, actually turning yourself into a poor bastard, it must be the first time to leave the house, a family background like yours, and the first time to come out, there must be an entourage to hug you, you are alone, isn't it obvious?" The young woman covered her mouth and smiled: "Young master, you shouldn't ask a question, how old are you this year?"
The young man didn't want to answer, but the family often said that the grace of a drop of water, when the spring reciprocates, the grace of a meal is of course much heavier than a drop of water, he hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "I'm twenty." β
"Twenty years old......?"
"What are you laughing at?" the boy frowned.
"Young master, your skeleton is so good, if it is really twenty, you must be taller than me, but now you are not as tall as me. The young woman said, "How old is it?"
The young man didn't seem to expect that a little businesswoman he met casually could have such scheming, not only surprised, but also embarrassed: "I...... Fifteen. β
"I said. The young woman was humane, looking at the young man's speech and demeanor, and the way he dressed, it was very likely that he was born in a famous family, but his actions seemed naΓ―ve, reckless, and somewhat contradictory, and now that she knew the age of the young man, and it was the first time he left the house, she could understand, fifteen years old or a half-old child: "What is your name?"
"My name is ......" The young man paused: "My name is He Yuanzheng." β
