Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Imposter Boy
The city of Hangzhou is very lively during the day, and the wharves are crowded one after another, as soon as the ship docks, the coolies will flock to the shore, scrambling for work. The businessmen are arrogant, and their fingers are gesturing, and they look like pointing to the country.
The vegetable market is full of people and meat, especially fish. The sound of disputes never stopped, the vendors wanted to make money, the women wanted to save money, and the war of words was so lively.
On the streets, children are chasing, horse-drawn carriages are coming, pedestrians are coming, and the shops on both sides are full of goods.
In front of a bookshelf, Xu Bowen, the handsome son of the Xu family in a white robe, was obsessively flipping through a book, but this was not a serious book, but some books about gods and ghosts.
Ever since he learned about his background, he has been fascinated by this kind of book. Today, when my father had something to do, he slipped out early and lingered at this bookstall when he was free.
The little guy next to him was very anxious, but he couldn't help his son, so he could only say: "Son, the time to come out is not short, go back quickly, the young lady should be worried, the master has also instructed, don't go out recently......"
This little guy chattered, but unfortunately it didn't have any effect, and it was all automatically blocked by this Xu family's son, and people didn't hear it at all.
The little guy is also helpless, after all, he is just a subordinate, his own son doesn't care about him, and he has nothing to do. But it was he who was angry when something happened.
At this moment, there was a sudden chaos at one end of the street.
I saw the two chasing each other, both carrying swords in their hands.
One was ugly, the other was handsome, his ugly face was distorted, and he overturned countless stalls along the way, just to block the nervous knight behind him.
The handsome knight was holding a sword with an excited face. kept splitting the stall in front of him, and at first glance it was a flute-headed green.
These two people, one is a thief and the other is a chivalrous man, they are natural opponents, and they are also strong in chasing, and they run at a gallop. The prostitute in front of him muttered vigorously, and he didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out today, so he was recognized by this Leng Touqing.
Speaking of lewd thieves, I have to say an interesting phenomenon. But most of the thieves have three things in common, ugly, poor, and fast.
There are exceptions, of course, but they are in the minority.
Most people become adulterous thieves for only one reason, they want to be a woman, but they can't get it. This kind of person is ugly, not favored by women, and poor, and can't afford to go to the kiln, so he can only be a prostitute and thief, and he is used to being chased, so he has practiced a good light skill.
As for those who were caught, then needless to say.
I saw that the thief ran fast, and the white horse passed through several people like a gap, and when he turned around, he overturned a stall.
All kinds of bits and pieces on the stall were scattered on the ground, and the young man behind didn't care at all, kicked the stall blocking the way away, and chased after him like a fly.
The two chased each other with swords in public, and people naturally did not dare to approach, leaving a large area vacant.
As a result, the two ran more smoothly.
But at this time, Xu Bowen was in front of the bookstall again, only looking at books. And the little guy next to him was chattering, only caring about persuading Xu Bowen. The men gave way, but the master and servant did not notice it, so they did not let in, and happened to stand in the way of the thief.
"Get out of here!" the thief shouted, waving his sword.
When the little guy heard the voice, he sensed that something was wrong, turned his head, and saw a sword light. Suddenly, he was so frightened that his face was pale, and his feet froze in place, and he couldn't move his steps.
As for Xu Bowen, he is still addicted to the book and has not noticed the danger.
At this critical moment, a peanut was shot out of the crowd.
Burst!
The thief's numb tendon near his knee was hit, his leg was numb, and he immediately fell to the ground, letting out a miserable scream, his hand skin was worn out, and the sword in his hand flew out, and people dodged in panic.
The handsome young man behind him rushed forward with an excited face, and then stepped on the back of the thief. The thief's spine broke, and he suddenly lost his voice, and the young man jumped into the air, and the sword in his hand flickered, like a large net composed of sword light, shrouded from top to bottom.
And in this range, there are only two people, that is, Xu Bowen, the son of the Xu family, who has not yet noticed the danger, and the little guy who was stupid and stood still.
At this moment, a tall figure wearing a big hat squeezed through the crowd, took out a long knife, the scabbard fell to the ground, the bell rang, Xu Bowen was fascinated, and was suddenly knocked out by a huge force.
With a "bang", he and the little guy fell on the bookstall at the same time, and the bookstall was overwhelmed and fell apart. So the two waved their hands and feet and were drowned in books.
Ghost Cry raised his head, and the sword net was close in front of him. His cheeks moved, and with a "click", the peanuts in his mouth were shattered.
The shoulders were heavy, the knife edge turned upward, and the bell became more and more urgent.
With a "bang", dazzling sparks bloomed.
The sword and the young man, both were cut off by a knife almost at the same time.
The broken sword swirled in mid-air, and with a "zheng" sound, it was inserted into a wooden pillar not far away, half an inch into the wood, and the remaining momentum was not exhausted, and it couldn't help but buzz and tremble.
And this young and handsome young man, after being stabbed in two pieces like tofu, there was no blood spilled abnormally, and he made a loud noise, and then exploded out of thin air.
The black smoke instantly took up the air, and the foul-smelling liquid fell down.
Ghost Cry turned over his hand and took off the hat, slapped away the liquid that fell from the sky, kicked up the scabbard, picked up Xu Bowen and his little guy, and quickly dragged the two away.
Leaving the area shrouded in black smoke, Devil Cry casually threw away the hat in his hand. The hat was pitted and constantly corroded by those inexplicably foul-smelling liquids.
He looked back at it deeply, then put the knife back into its sheath, squeezed into the crowd with Xu Bowen, who was still confused, and the little guy who looked like he was saved, and left quickly.
In the crowd, an ordinary-looking peasant man had a gloomy face, looking at the ghost crying in the distance, his eyes shining with a cold light.
He was about to catch up when a woman with a frosty face stood in front of him and drew her sword. The ordinary-looking peasant man turned around and ran, and the woman quickly chased after him.
The surrounding onlookers looked at the ground shrouded in black smoke with a horrified expression, and the ground was pitted, like the face of a pockmarked child.
They had a palpitation on their faces, and if they hadn't been far enough away just now, they would have to be like the whore lying on the ground now. The thief was lying on the ground, his flesh and blood were blurred, and he could only see that he was in human form.
Silence for a moment, then boiling. The stench was pervasive, everyone couldn't help but cover their noses, and some people couldn't help it and ran to the corner to vomit. The owner of the bookstall was crying with a sad face, and most of his books were corroded, which can be regarded as a big loss.
The catchers arrived late, squeezed into the crowd, and asked about the matter, and one of the catchers pinched his nose and pained his face to inspect the body of the lewd thief under the order of the catcher, and after a while, he covered his mouth and rushed out.
It wasn't until he walked out of the two streets that the frightened Xu Bowen came back to his senses: "It's you, ghost brother, what happened just now?"
Looking at the stupid Xu Bowen, Ghost Cry looked around vigilantly: "Don't talk nonsense, go quickly, someone is going to kill you." ”
"How come?" Xu Bowen looked horrified: "I didn't recruit anyone to provoke anyone!
Ghost Cry didn't have time to explain to him now, and said to the stupid and stupid little guy who was already scared: "I will take your son-in-law back, you go first." ”
The little girl's eyes widened, and he shook his head like a rattle: "No!"
"Then you follow. The ghost cried angrily and said: "Those people are coming for your son-in-law, and I have no time to protect you, and I will be affected by the time, and I deserve it!"
The little guy thought for a moment, and ran away with a smoke.
Ghost Cry turned around: "Let's go!"
Xu Bowen looked blankly at the back of the little guy who was far away: "He... How can he be like this, and he will never leave the rest of his life?"
