he walks in the world

Chapter 124 The horse rolls like it's made of blood
Jinling at night is actually very beautiful.

Du Ruo and Wang Que walked slowly among them, Du Ruo put his hands in his long sleeves, and the dim lights of those shops or houses on the side of the road shone out, and two or three shadows were very, very long.

Wang Que bit his toothpick and walked beside him.

After walking along the street for a while, the two turned around and walked down another street that they had never walked before.

The bustle of this street is not much less than that of Zhuangyuan Street, and it seems to be even worse. Compared with the politically concentrated area of ​​Qinhuai Confucius Temple, the street control is looser, and the vendors are more active. The children in Shaozongjiao are chasing and playing in the street, which is very lively.

Zi Gu ~ Ton

Just passing by a food stall, Du Ruo heard an unusually striking sound of swallowing saliva.

He turned to look at Wang Que.

Wang Que squeezed the toothpick in embarrassment, grinned, pointed at the food stall, and said, "This thing is called horse rolling. I ate it once many years ago. After wandering around, I never saw it again. I didn't expect to see it today." , I can't help it for a while."

Du Ruo nodded, and said: "I understand the taste of my childhood, since I have a chance to come across it, let's eat some!"

Wang Que put the toothpick back into his mouth, embraced the head with both hands and strode forward without looking back, and said, "Forget it, I don't want to eat it!"

Du Ruo didn't leave, looked at Wang Que's back in a daze for a while, shook his head, walked to the food stand, bought a bag, and then slowly chased after him.

"Brother Wang."

Du Ruo patted Wang Que's shoulder lightly, rolled the horse over, and said, "I always thought you were a pretty easygoing person."

Wang Que hesitated for a moment, took the sack of horses, picked one out with a toothpick, and bit down on it. After chewing twice, he walked to a corner of the street, and sat down on his ass regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not. go down.

Du Ruo also walked over and sat beside Wang Que.

"Brother Du," Wang Que said, "I'm very poor."

"I see." Du Ruo said.

"I was not very poor before." Wang Que said.

"Did not see it."

Wang Que: "..."

Wang Que ate another horse and rolled over, saying: "I used to have two acres of land and a cow in my family."

Du Ruo said silently: "Isn't this poor?"

The corner of Wang Que's mouth twitched, and said: "You are like this, we can't talk anymore."

"Okay, you are not poor!"

Wang Que ate two horses in one gulp and rolled over, angrily said: "I won't talk anymore, I want to be a mysterious handsome man!"

Du Ruo poked his head out suddenly, bit a horse that Wang Que had just picked up and rolled over, looked at the stunned Wang Que, and asked, "Brother Wang, you're such a rascal, you won't pass the exam, are you interested? Me?"

"You have already asked." Wang Que said.

"But you didn't answer me, neither refused nor agreed." Du Ruo said.

"I'm considering."

Du Ruo sighed, and said: "To be honest, your martial arts are really high, it's not a problem to be so wandering all the time, and you are still wandering so sloppily, why don't you go to Sichuan with me, let's go together Make it big."

"Why do you feel like you're fooling me?" Wang Que said.

"50 taels a month, plus a set of yards with three entrances and three exits. You can choose in Shuixi County. I'm a wharf, and there are rewards for every shipment. You and me now, I'm about to open one. For the new transportation route, I will give you annual year-end dividends, how about it, do you think there is a problem?" Du Ruo said.

Wang Que nodded and said in a daze, "If you are a leader, if you are a leader, the treatment is really good, but I am a little puzzled, am I worthy of such a high price? Let me tell you first, don't think I am a scholar , in fact, I got it through luck and cheating, I don’t know anything, or you think I’m really full and have nothing to do to moles the examiner, I just want to earn some fame for myself, but in the end I ruined my reputation .”

"Actually, it's not that I haven't thought about finding a Jianghu gang to join in these years, but they don't want me. Even if they accept me, they can't give me much money, and they don't trust me. Later, they went to escort, and learned I didn’t learn it for a whole year, and went to work as a nursing home, but the wife of that family actually climbed onto my bed in the middle of the night, and I went to help chop people up, but I could only earn food and clothing. After all, people chop people up every day, and I I came to take the imperial examination, but I failed every time, and I was hired by the local county magistrate to be a private school teacher, but I was not as good as a child..."

Du Ruo: "..."

How weak are you!
However, Du Ruo patted Wang Que on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Let me just say you don't know the goods. Your martial arts are definitely worth the price, and there are a lot of them. Others dislike your reputation, but I don't dislike it." , Although you are useless as a scholar, you still have other advantages!"

"What advantage?" Wang Que asked.

"Uh... well, you have nothing but martial arts!"

Wang Que: "..."

"Don't be afraid, Brother Wang," Du Ruo said, "I don't need you to have other advantages. Knowing how to fight and kill is enough. Besides, I've always been used to being suspicious, and I don't need to be suspicious when I employ people. Worried that I will be afraid of your martial arts and be suspicious of you!"

"Do you really believe me?" Wang Que frowned, and said, "It's not that I haven't joined small gangs after bumping into walls again and again, but those people are worried because my martial arts are too high. Let me leave in a hurry."

Du Ruo smiled and asked, "Is Yi Jianmen good?"

"Great!"

"Is Gusu Nangong strong?"

"Strong!"

"But don't I dare to plot against these two powerful forces? Do you think I will still suspect you because I am afraid of your high martial arts? I still have this kind of heart." Du Ruo said.

Wang Que lowered his head, still hesitating.

Du Ruo stood up, patted Wang Que on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Wang, think about it carefully, don't worry about it for a day or two, um, just three days, I'm going back to Sichuan in three days. "

Wang Que: "I think you're playing with me?"

Du Ruo: "I don't want you to think, I want me to think, I don't think I played with you, I really will return to Shuzhong in three days."

"Okay then, I'll think about it."

…………

Just when the two were about to leave, a chubby kid suddenly ran over from the street. He looked about three or four years old, with a flushed face and a penny in his hand. He stopped Wang Que, and said timidly, "Uncle , can you sell me a horse to roll?"

Wang Que looked suspiciously at the food stall over there, which was still selling, and asked, "Why don't you go there to buy?"

The little fat man dropped his hands, and said in a low voice: "The horse rolls for two pennies each, but I only have one penny. This morning Dad promised me that he would buy it for me when he came back, but Dad came back But he was sleeping in a black box, no matter how I called him, he ignored me."

The little fat man was very aggrieved, and continued: "My mother fell asleep on the ground suddenly, and she ignored me. Grandpa left with a sword, but he ignored me. There used to be a lot of people in the family, and they all died today. I'm gone, I don't want all of them, only a few big sisters, they ignore me, they all kneel in the big black box where Dad sleeps with money to burn the fire."

"I asked them to buy me a horse and roll, but they refused to talk to me. They also said that my father had passed away and that my father was killed by bad guys. However, my father was clearly asleep. Every time I bought a horse and rolled back Dad will wake up when he smells it, hehe, Dad also likes to eat horses and roll around, but I only have a penny!"

Du Ruo frowned suddenly, feeling a strange feeling in his heart for no reason, took out a rolling horse from Wang Que's hand, handed it to the little fat man, and asked, "Little friend, what's your father's name?"

The little fat man rolled his horse with his mouth crooked, and said with a smile: "I don't know, but, I heard that other people call me my father Xu Gangzhu, maybe my daddy is called Xu Gangzhu!"

Du Ruo and Wang Que looked at each other and looked at each other.

"Little friend, go back quickly, it's already very late." Du Ruo patted the little fat man on the shoulder.

The little fat man nodded, and was about to leave when he stopped again, held up the penny in his hand, and said, "Uncle, I only have one penny now, I will give you a penny today, and you will come here and wait for me tomorrow morning. I will definitely bring you a penny.”

Du Ruo took the penny from the little fat man's hand with a smile, and said, "You don't need the rest of the penny. Uncle is rolling around. It's getting cold. It's only worth a penny. You won't need it tomorrow."

"Really?" asked the fat man.

"Really, uncle won't lie to you, you should go back quickly!" Du Ruo said.

"Then, goodbye, uncles!"

The little fat man waved his hands and ran towards the other side of the street, and soon ran into the noisy crowd.

Du Ruo stood by the side of the street, quietly looking at the little fat man.

Wang Que suddenly leaned into Du Ruo's ear, and said, "What's the matter, are you in a bad mood? You have fulfilled what you wanted, but it is very possible to ruin a family and this little fat man's life just like that. I know, you may feel uncomfortable in your heart, alas, I also feel a little uncomfortable, really, I killed people after all, a good family, from then on Yin and Yang are separated, heaven and man are at the opposite ends, it is simply a tragedy in the world."

Du Ruo watched the little fat man quietly, without saying a word. When the little fat man turned his head, he always smiled and waved his hand.

Looking at this scene, Wang Que sighed deeply, and said, "Let me make up for it, it's really pitiful, it's my fault, alas, I'm still too soft-hearted, this little fat man is too cute, I'm sorry I have to help him, a good family..."

"It should be neat and tidy. I will kill the mother and son and let their family reunite!"

Du Ruo suddenly turned around, grabbed Wang Que, frowned tightly, his expression was very bad, and he said in a low voice, "What kind of fucking logic is this, it doesn't make sense!"

Du Ruo grabbed Wang Que hard, took a deep breath, and said bitterly: "Aren't you stupid, wouldn't it be better to let this little fat man grow up and live with Yi Jianmen forever? It has to be someone else Only if we know that the grass was cut by us, if there is a chance, it would be nice to let this little fat man die in the hands of Yi Jianmen like his father."

Wang Que bit his toothpick, thoughtfully, and said: "You are right, Xu Tianle was not killed by me, but by Ling Xiaoxiao, if this little fat man dies in Ling Xiaoxiao's hands again, I'm afraid Xu Tianle's father-in-law is really going crazy."

"Yes, if you add Xu Tianle's wife..."

The two walked in the alley whispering to each other, their shadows were very long and long, slowly disappearing into the dim yellow night light, a round ball fell on the ground, called a horse roll, and at night, it seemed to be made of blood.
