The big rivers and lakes that attack

Chapter 21 Rules Are Rules
Li Dao scooped up a bowl of brown rice left over from dinner, poured a little broth on it, put a few slices of wild vegetables, and walked out of the gate of "White Camel Villa" with the bowl and black umbrella in his hand.

Baizhu frowned slightly, she thought that the boss must be hungry in the middle of the night, so she came out to find something to eat, but seeing this, Baizhu felt that things were not easy.

Maybe it was out of curiosity, or maybe there were other reasons, after hesitating for a moment, she planned to follow and have a look.

……

Juansha Town, Sludge Lane.

In a small and cramped house with broken doors and windows and several big holes in the roof, Ye Xiaochu was curled up in a pile of messy cotton wool.

This was originally her home. Although the house and yard were small before, at least it was full of warmth.But since the death of his parents, the family has been deserted.

Ye Xiaochu, whose body and face were full of dirt, was extremely emaciated, under the light of a small fire, staring at Wuliu, waiting for the food to arrive.

Sure enough, not long after, with the screeching sound of the door, the man holding the black umbrella came in, looked at her, put a bowl of rice in front of her, and said lightly: "Let's eat."

Then he turned and prepared to leave.

Ye Xiaochu hurriedly said: "During the half month you were away, I almost starved to death, and I couldn't find anything to eat on the street..."

The man turned around, smiled, a gentle smile, and said, "But didn't you survive?"

Ye Xiaochu's tears flowed down, and he said: "I originally asked for ten big money, but now I only have five left, and I have bought food for that five money... Since you are willing to help me and give me food, why not?" ……Why……"

"I beg you, you are so powerful, as long as you can avenge me, I can do anything, please...please...they killed my father and my mother...please, I I tried my best, but I really can't make up fifty yuan, please..."

Ye Xiaochu had runny nose and tears streaming down her face, knelt on the ground, knocked her head down hard, her head was so shocked that her head was about to burst, and she was crying.

The man didn't speak, he left indifferently holding the black umbrella, and closed the door by the way.

A heart-piercing cry came from the room: "Father~Mother..."

……

Under the dark night, Li Dao held a pitch-black umbrella and walked in the direction of "White Camel Villa". He could hear the sound of dogs barking or the screams of human beings. Someone must have been killed.

Holding a black umbrella, he walked across the street like a ghost, humming a weird tune: "... but I saw that, the black and white ~ the white bone cave ~ my grandson ~ a stick, See you again on a sunny day~~”

The voice was low, and no one could hear what he was singing clearly, and the vague lyrics became more blurred in the dark night.

Baizhu suddenly appeared from behind, walked quickly behind him, and asked, "What are you singing? It's weird and ugly."

Li Dao didn't go to see her, but walked straight forward, and asked casually, "You've been with me all the way for so long, and you just want to ask this?"

Bai Zhu was a little speechless, after a moment of silence, she asked straight to the point: "Since you want to help her, why..."

"Who told you that I wanted to help her?" Li Dao interrupted her with a chuckle, and said, "I just gave her some food. Humans always have kind thoughts."

"When you see others miserable, you will inevitably feel hurt. Even if you see a kitten or dog hurt, you will feel sympathy. This is not help, but compassion."

Baizhu said: "But if you do this, she will only misunderstand her, and she will think that you can really avenge her."

Li Dao shook his head: "Then let her misunderstand, such a misunderstanding can at least allow her to live tenaciously, and give her a little hope, what's wrong?"

Baizhu was puzzled, and asked: "But you clearly have the ability to avenge her, since you sympathize with her and pity her, why..."

"Because of the rules." Li Dao put away the umbrella, tucked it under his arm, and said, "If she can afford fifty cents, then I will avenge her. Since there is no money, then forget it. I can't ruin myself." set the rules."

"In this world, there are many people like Ye Xiaochu, and there are countless vendettas like this in Juansha Town. There are many poor people. Is it because they are pitiful? Beg in front of me, and I feel pity in my heart, so I want to help them ?"

"Hehe." Li Dao chuckled lightly, and said, "The rules are the rules. I can help you within the rules and do what I can, but outside the rules, I'm sorry and I can't do anything."

"For business, the signboard is the most important thing, I can't smash my own signboard... Oh, it seems that you feel sympathy for Ye Xiaochu, how about this, you take this task on."

"You give me fifty big money... I don't think you have any, but you can deduct it from your future missions. With your strength, you can help her avenge. It should be no problem to deal with those horse bandits. It's amazing and seriously injured. How can you die? Easy, do you think about it?"

Bai Zhu gave a chuckle, and said, "I'm not related to her for a reason..."

"So you just don't answer?" Li Dao laughed and said: "It's the same reason, I am not related to her, why do you talk so much nonsense, you think I have the ability to help her ?”

Baizhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head, feeling that she was meddling.

Not long after, they returned to the gate of "White Camel Villa" Li Dao opened, ignored Baizhu, and walked back to the main hall with the black umbrella in their arms.

Baizhu shook her head, always felt that this matter seemed a bit awkward, but she couldn't tell what was wrong, the awkward boss, the awkward town, the awkward people, the awkward reasoning, everything was so awkward.

She couldn't think about it for a while, and went back to the house to continue sleeping.

……

At noon the next day, Juansha Town East City.

Holding the sword, Baizhu sat on the frame of the carriage bored, let out a breath, and looked at the boss who was negotiating with a businessman not far away.

"I know, I know that you are in trouble, the way back is very uneven, you have a conflict with the quicksand thief, and your nephew is dead, am I right?"

"Don't ask me how I know this, what I mean is, since you have found me 'White Camel Villa', then I am sure to settle the matter for you."

"How? It depends on how much you bid. If you just want to make the route to Baishakou smooth and ensure that you can pass through that area safely, you only need [-] yuan."

"Stealing? Hehe, how can this be considered a robbery? It's only [-] big bucks. If you transport this batch of goods safely to Middle-earth, you don't know how much you will earn. Do you think I'm a fool?"

"It's in Juansha Town that I only paid you [-] yuan, so you think about... the road behind Baishakou?"

"I'm sorry, our business has not expanded there yet. Whether you can go out of the border of thousands of miles depends on your means."
