In a thatched hut in a small alley in Taiping Town, the house is poorly furnished and surrounded by walls. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A woman was lying on the bed, coughing and panting, blood reflecting blood from a plate next to the bed. A little boy of twelve or thirteen years old was wringing a wet towel for the woman to wipe. And this little boy is Xiao Cai, who came back from the Taiping Teahouse not long before the bounty notice.

Xiao Cai, who listened to it, said: "Mother, don't worry, Xiao Cai has already thought of a way." As long as we have money, we can find a good doctor for our mother, and my mother will not have to suffer from illness. ”

The woman's thin face trembled a little, and she said weakly: "Xiaocai, my mother taught you to be honest, to be diligent, not to steal, not to rob, not to deceive...... Ahem, do you remember all this?"

Xiao Cai said: "Mother's words, Xiao Cai has never forgotten. Mother, you see, the skin on Xiao Cai's hands is worn out, which Xiao Cai got by washing dishes for the inn and making money for washing clothes outside the staff. Xiao Cai didn't steal anyone else. As she spoke, Xiao Cai raised her hand to show the woman, and she saw that the calluses were overgrown, and the skin was broken, and blood was oozing.

The woman's eyes welled up with tears and she said, "Xiaocai, it's all my mother's fault...... It's all because my mother didn't give you a good life. I want you to make money at such a young age...... Ahem!"

The moment Xiao Cai was talking to his mother, he didn't know that there was a black figure standing outside the door of the thatched hut, she was wearing a hat on her head, her face was covered with a black scarf, and a white hair faintly appeared, it was the Seven Earth Dragons who followed Xiao Cai.

The Seven Earth Dragons were standing outside at the moment, seeing the scene inside the hut clearly, and listening to the conversations in the hut clearly. She immediately realized that she had misjudged before, and that Xiao Cai was not the little beggar who stole Jiang Zhong, Meng, Yinliang, and the topographic map from the Taiping Teahouse.

Xiao Cai, who listened to it, said: "Mother, today I saw a notice on the street, and the notice said that the iron fan boy has lost a topographic map of the tomb, as long as he finds the drawing, he can get five hundred taels." Mother, if we have those five hundred taels, Mother's illness will be cured. So, I decided to draw a random topographic map......"

"No!" the woman cried out anxiously, "Xiao Cai, aren't you trying to deceive people? Deceiving people will not end well......

Hearing this, the Seven Earth Dragons at the door of the thatched house looked a little lost, and turned around, preparing to immediately follow the other two targets, Little Elephant and Xiao Xue.

Suddenly, the woman in the hut screamed, and the Seven Earth Dragons hurriedly stopped and looked up. Out of nowhere, out of nowhere, a little beggar with a yellow face, thin skin, ragged clothes, and a thin body, about twelve or thirteen years old. Seeing the little beggar, the Seven Earth Dragons couldn't help but look excited, their eyes showed joy, and their bodies shook.

Xiao Cai said in a trembling voice, "Who are you? Why are you hiding under my bed?"

The little beggar "pounced" on his knees and begged: "Auntie, I am a little pebble, living in a broken temple in the alley, and a white-haired woman recently came to Taiping Town, and when she saw a beggar, she killed her, and said that she wanted a topographic map." Auntie, please take in Xiaoshizi for a while and save my life, okay?"

That's right, the little pebble in front of him is Xiao Guozi's partner together, and it is also controlled by the little elephant, and the things he stole and begged for must also be handed over to the little elephant, which is the same fate as the little fruit. Because the white-haired woman killed the beggar, he got under the bed while Xiaocai's mother was asleep. I was really hungry and panicked just now, so I got out.

The woman coughed heavily and said weakly: "Xiaoshizi, if you want to live, you can live with Xiao Cai, but the eldest lady's family has no food and no money, you have to work with Xiao Cai every day, okay......"

"Really, Auntie?" Xiaoshizi was overjoyed and said, "Auntie, as long as you are willing to take me in, I will do any hard work...... Ahh

Before Xiaoshizi finished speaking, suddenly, a whirlwind struck, a black shadow flashed in front of him, and then a scream sounded. When the woman and Xiao Cai opened their eyes again, they saw that Xiao Shizi had long since disappeared, as if he had never appeared in the hut.

"Mother, I'm afraid ......" Xiao Cai exclaimed and threw herself into the woman's arms.

The woman patted Xiao Cai on the back and said, "We didn't do anything wrong, we are not afraid." Xiao Cai, don't think about the five hundred taels, you know......? It's all fate......"

Xiao Cai replied in a trembling voice: "Yes, mother......"

At this time, in the alley, I saw Xiaoshizi lying on the ground in horror, the dazzling black clothes fluttering in front of him, and the Seven Earth Dragons were standing majestically in front of him.

Xiaoshizi bowed to the ground and said: "Xiaoshizi doesn't know anything, please spare Xiaoshizi." ”

The Seven Earth Dragons said in a loud voice: "Say, where is the topographic map?"

Xiao Shizi said in a trembling voice: "Auntie spare your life, Xiao Shizi didn't steal any topographic maps." ”

The Seven Earth Dragons twisted the back of the little pebble, held his small body in the air, and said in a cold voice: "Boy, if you don't tell the truth, I will definitely take you to feed the dog, have you ever tried the feeling of being bitten by a dog?"

Xiaoshizi was so frightened that he shouted, "I said...... I said......"

The Seven Dragons let go of their hands and threw the pebbles on their backs on the ground. The Seven Earth Dragons raised their eyebrows and glared at Xiao Shizi viciously.

Xiao Shizi turned his head sideways, not daring to look at the fierce appearance of the Seven Earth Dragons, and said intermittently: "One day, Xiao ...... In the Taiping Teahouse, the elephant stole a bag of silver taels and a piece of paper from a boy who had an iron fan hanging from his waist. That on paper...... There are many stripes drawn, like a place......"

Hearing this, the Seven Earth Dragons looked excited, and their eyes shone brightly. Actually, what Xiao Shizi said, the thing is true, and the process is also true, but he changed the name of Xiao Guozi to Little Elephant. In Xiao Shizi's heart, he hated beating his little elephant with a rattan, but he didn't have the ability to fight against the little elephant.

Xiao Shizi knew the fierceness of the white-haired woman, and he would not give up until he found the topographic map, so at this moment, Xiao Shizi transferred the suffering to the little elephant, retaining a glimmer of life for Xiao Guozi. And when the broken temple and the small fruit handed over the silver tael and the topographic map to the little elephant, the little stone happened to be present, so he knew the process of the matter.

Of course, the little elephant has already attracted the attention of the Seven Earth Dragons before the bounty notice, and you don't blame him for the little stone at this moment. Even if the Seven Earth Dragons dig three feet into the ground, they will also know the whereabouts of the little elephant. It's just that the Seven Earth Dragons don't know that the young man in front of the notice is just a baby elephant.

The Seven Earth Dragons said coldly, "Tell me, where is the little elephant now? Where did he hide the topographic map?"

Xiao Shizi replied in a trembling voice: "The little elephant is in the broken temple in the alley...... He has a big cloth bag that he carries on his back every day, and the topographic map is in the big cloth bag......"

"Boy, you'd better not lie to anyone, otherwise, you'll die a more ugly and painful death!"

At this time, Xiaoshizi raised his head tremblingly, and he stood up quickly, wanting to run for his life. Suddenly, a palm wind in his chest slammed in, and the strength was pressing. Before Xiaoshizi could see the black figure clearly, he let out a painful "uh" and fell to the ground, dying forever. I saw five distinct palm prints on his chest, and the little finger was much shorter than the little finger of a normal person.

Seeing Xiao Shizi with a smile next to his eyes, he seemed to know that he was going to die, it seemed that because before he died, he blamed the little elephant, and he died blindly.

I can't help but ask, is the black shadow that killed the little stone the Seven Earth Dragons? How can the short fingers of this palm be so familiar...... (To be continued.) )
