Legend of the Knight

Chapter 110 Xiao Yao
After killing Ding Hong, Xiao Yao put his finger in his mouth and blew a loud whistle.

After a while, Lu Shaolin who heard the whistle rushed over.

"Do you see this person?" Xiao Yao pointed to the dead body on the ground and said to Lu Shaolin.

It was only then that Lu Shaolin saw Ding Hong lying on the ground. He rushed to Ding Hong with a vigorous stride, leaned over and stretched out his finger, and pressed it on Ding Hong's neck.

After a while, Lu Shaolin let out a sigh of relief. He raised his head and said to Xiao Yao who was standing beside him, "Yes, it's him."

The stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and Lu Shaolin said to Xiao Yao with a face full of joy: "Very good, you have made a great contribution."

"What do I need to do next?" Xiao Yao asked Lu Shaolin.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Shaolin said to Xiao Yao: "If you trust Lu, stay with the Beggars' Gang.

What happened tonight, only you know, I know.

King Cheng needs talents like you, and the beggar gang also needs people like you.

If you can continue to be in the beggar gang, it will be more useful than following me.

As for future contact, I will come to you.If there is something urgent, you can also come to Hangzhou to find me. "

"Okay." After listening to Lu Shaolin's words, Xiao Yao didn't mention anything else. He nodded and left alone.

When I was riding on the road just now, firstly, I couldn’t ride a horse, and secondly, my shoes were too loose. Xiao Yao lost a broken shoe on his foot, and now he has shoes on one foot, and the other is bare. Walking on the road is a bit uneven.

So Xiao Yao simply took off the other broken shoe and threw it away. He recognized the direction while walking, and finally reached the official road.

After that, Xiao Yao walked along the official road for dozens of miles barefoot, and it was almost noon when he reached the outside of Luoyang City.

Sleepy and tired, Xiao Yao finally returned to the dilapidated shack where he lived. He opened a door made of wood, bent down and got in, then fell down on the rotten straw mat, and fell into a drowsy sleep.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yao woke up. After he opened his eyes, he saw the sunlight leaking through the cracks in the roof. It was already afternoon.

"Brother Xiao Yao, you're awake." A rusty girl's voice rang in his ears.

Xiao Yao turned over and sat up, he looked around, the little beggars who usually huddled here were gone, only a little beggar named Lihua was left.

"Pear Blossom, where are Si Zhu and Tieshan?" Xiao Yao asked Pear Blossom.

"They went out to beg for food." Li Hua said to Xiao Yao.

When Xiao Yao heard this, he immediately became angry, and he shouted at Lihua angrily: "Didn't I tell them not to go out alone!"

Many people know that it is difficult for a beggar to survive, but they do not know that it is even more difficult for a beggar to survive.

There are many little beggars, and they disappear after walking in the alley.

There are some extremely vicious beggars, when they want to eat meat, they don't care what kind of meat it is.

No one will care about a beggar, a beggar is not as good as a dog with a master.In unknown corners, many beggars just disappeared.

And what's even more frightening is that these guys only plunder the living and don't eat the dead.

Needless to say, this should be an excellent survival experience: it can effectively avoid contracting any strange diseases.

(This is the true memory of many old people about the old society. When I was young, they used this to scare me, so that I was scared when I saw beggars since I was a child.)
Therefore, when Xiao Yao heard that all the beggars had gone out, his anger rushed to the top of his head.

After sulking alone for a while, Xiao Yao felt that he shouldn't lose his temper with the most well-behaved Lihua, so he suppressed his anger with guilt in his heart.

"Brother Xiao Yao, come to eat." Lihua handed a broken bowl in front of Xiao Yao, which contained half a piece of hard black bun.

"Come on, Lihua, you eat, Brother Xiao Yao is not hungry." Xiao Yao pushed the hard black bun in front of Lihua, but Lihua shook her head and said repeatedly.

"Brother Xiao Yao, eat quickly, you must be hungry." Lihua insisted on giving the black bun to Xiao Yao, and she said, "You have been asleep for two days."

!!!

Xiao Yao was startled, he turned over and said to Lihua: "Lihua, how long do you think I have been asleep?"

Lihua said to Xiao Yao: "You have been sleeping for two days."

After hearing Lihua's words, Xiao Yao was shocked.

Xiao Yao is not a sleepy person, and he has practiced martial arts for many years, so he is very familiar with his own body functions, he only thinks that he has taken a nap for a while, and he has slept for so long in one sleep.

How can it be?

Xiao Yao came to his senses immediately, when he returned to the city during the day today (yesterday), his state was very wrong.

At that time, Xiao Yao only felt very sleepy, so sleepy that he was dying. He relied on forcibly operating his internal strength to withstand the sleepiness and not fall down.

However, after all, he stayed up all night and walked dozens of miles, so Xiao Yao didn't realize that he was abnormally sleepy.

After Xiao Yao returned to the shack, he fell on the mat and relaxed, and fell asleep almost instantly.

Xiao Yao realized that he had been poisoned by some kind of smog, which should be colorless and odorless, and could make people fall into a coma after inhaling it.

Xiao Yao thought about it again, he knew how he got caught in the smoke.

What a Ding Hong, if I listen to him say a few more words, I am afraid that I will be the one who died last night.

If Xiao Yao's guess is correct, Ding Hong should be talking to himself in ventriloquism. When he got up from the bushes, he had a smoky nozzle in his mouth.

So, while Ding Hong was speaking to attract his attention, he gently blew the mist on himself, causing Xiao Yao to be poisoned unconsciously.

Such a vicious person.

This is Xiao Yao who knows how powerful a spy who dares to eat double identities is.

Perhaps, if it were Xiao Yao before, he might really fall into hesitation after listening to Ding Hong's words, and even want to have a few more debates with Ding Hong.

So it must be a set.

Fortunately, last night Xiao Yao was so angry that he didn't listen to Ding Hong's nonsense and slapped him to death, otherwise.

Xiao Yao, who had figured out the cause and effect, sighed and shook his head.

Xiao Yao realized that he was really ridiculous. On the way back, he still felt a little bit sad about Ding Hong's death.

After all, Ding Hong died in his duty, he just did what he was supposed to do.

It was not the first time Xiao Yao had killed people, but he had killed all the damn villains before.

Today is the first time because of different ideas, he killed a person who had no evil deeds (Xiao Yao didn't know about Ding Hong's torture of the disciples of the beggar gang).

So, on the way back to Luoyang, Xiao Yao, with a dazed head on his head, was reflecting on whether his behavior today was wrong.

Haha, hahaha!

Ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous.

Xiao Yao's tears were about to come out of laughter, he stretched out his hand to wipe it off, then sat on the bed and gently hugged Lihua next to him.

I finally took that step and became a stray dog ​​that everyone despises, but I need to find a good place for these children.

……

Xiao Yao gently hugged Lihua in his arms.

Lihua is very light, because her body only has the upper half.

Lihua was looted from her hometown by someone who photographed Huazi. She didn't know where her hometown was, but she only knew it was called Gouzitun.

After those people took Lihua away, they took her around to beg. In order to ask for more money, those people cruelly broke Lihua's leg, and refused to heal it, deliberately letting the injured leg fester.

After Lihua's left foot was disabled, they broke Lihua's right foot again, until her two useless legs were chopped off with a knife, and Lihua lost her legs.

After Xiao Yao came to Luoyang City, he was mistaken by the group of people as a fellow who robbed land.

After beating the group of evil beggars away, Xiao Yao discovered that they had left such a group of children behind.

So, Xiao Yao took the children to beg on Luoyang Street, and he also knew that this was not an option, until Xiao Yao saw Huang Xiaoshi that day.

Holding pear blossoms in his arms, Xiao Yao thought about many things. He understood that the person he is today is no longer the person he was yesterday.

Yesterday's self could spend all his energy and time on small benevolence, but today's self must do more.

In the evening, at the gate of Shennong Baicao Gate.

The beggar head who came to get food on time a few days ago came again today.

"Hey, little brother, you are a bit late today, I thought you wouldn't come again." The gatekeeper said to Xiao Yao very kindly.

A doorman who can be a doorman will not be a guy with no eyesight. This doorman can tell that this person has an extraordinary relationship with the head of the Huang family.

"Excuse me, is the master of the Huang family here? Please let me know, and Xiao Yao asks to see you." Xiao Yao said to the doorman.

After a while, Xiao Yao was invited into the Shennong Baicaomen by the disciples.

"Master Huang, I, Xiao Yao, after thinking about it, can only ask you for help." Xiao Yao said sincerely to Huang Xiaoshi.

Afterwards, Xiao Yao told Huang Xiaoshi his request in detail, and Huang Xiaoshi sighed heavily.

Upon hearing Huang Xiaoshi's sigh, Xiao Yao's heart tightened.

Xiao Yao also knew that even if it was a big family like Shennong Baicaomen, if they had to open their mouths for twenty or so at once, the pressure would definitely be quite high.

Huang Xiaoshi sighed, not for other things, but for this world.

It is said that the building collapsed and the world was turned upside down. In fact, the situation did not deteriorate from peace to the point where people could not live.

The development of the world is bit by bit, bit by bit, slow and unstoppable, as if there is an invisible hand behind it.

Being in the middle of the situation and not knowing the situation, when many people finally found out that the world has collapsed, in fact, the general situation has been corrupted, and no one can turn the tide anymore.

There is not much time left for myself.

If you can't get the key to the sanctuary to leave here, then you have to be prepared for how to survive in troubled times.

What Huang Xiaoshi said to Fang Yunhua that day was all from the bottom of his heart.

As long as you can return to your own world, even if you don't have hundreds of millions of property, it is a peaceful world with abundant material, even dogs live with more dignity than people here.

After sighing, Huang Xiaoshi nodded, and he said to Xiao Yao: "I will take over what brother Xiao entrusted."

Xiao Yao stood up and saluted Huang Xiaoshi, then turned and left.

After walking out of the Shennong Baicaomen, Xiao Yao went back to the beggar's shack and hid in the dark until he saw Huang Xiaoshi leading a few disciples into the smelly shack, raising a bunch of small beggars like catching mice. Son.

After the crowd dispersed, Xiao Yaofang appeared from the darkness. He knelt down in the direction of Shennong Baicaomen, and kowtowed three times.

Then Xiao Yao got up, and before the city gate was closed, he followed the last wave of people out of Luoyang City.

……

In the hall of Shennong Baicaomen, more than 20 children were standing in several rows, waiting nervously for Huang Xiaoshi's fate.

After these little beggars were captured, Wang Pangzui, who used to be a knife maker (pig makers) came over with a sharp butcher's knife.

Wang Shuizui first caught the terrified little children, then pressed them to the ground, then stripped off their clothes, shaved their hair, and finally threw them all into the hot water bucket filled with medicine.

One soak, two washes, three rinses, and finally after cleaning the body, there was a special person beside them to check the bodies of these little beggars.

In the end, there was a big pot of stewing and heating rice. The children who had eaten until they were full finally gradually dispelled their panic, and then they were sent to the hall.

Huang Xiaoshi listened to Lao Zhang's report, and there were 25 beggars in total, including eight boys and seventeen girls.

Among the 25 babies, the youngest is a girl named Lihua, who is only five years old, and the oldest is 12 years old, named Sizhu.

What makes Lao Zhang feel troublesome and embarrassing is that all these little beggars are handicapped people.

Because disabled people are more likely to win sympathy, children with disabled bodies can win more sympathy, so these little beggars, from disfigured, broken hands to broken legs, each has different degrees of disabilities.

The most severely handicapped one is the little girl named Lihua.

"It's a crime, it's a crime!" Lao Zhang sighed and shook his head non-stop.

Huang Xiaoshi has no experience in dealing with this kind of thing.

But since it was entrusted by Xiao Yao, and since he agreed so readily, he must be the only one responsible to the end.

After Huang Xiaoshi stood up, he said to the beggars: "My name is Huang Xiaoshi, and I am the head of the sect here.

I am also a beggar, so I know the suffering of beggars.

No other meaning, I think it would be better for you to die early and reincarnate early.

This world is not worthy of your nostalgia. "

When Huang Xiaoshi said this, the other doormen standing in the hall felt a little embarrassed.

What Huang Xiaoshi said was the truth.

Seeing this pile of beggars, Huang Xiaoshi felt that his life was really good.

If he was "reincarnated" into such a crippled body, or if he met Pai Huazi before Gong Guangjie, then his life would really be worse than death.

Oh, and neither.

If Gong Guangjie hadn't appeared at that time, Huang Xiaoshi would have killed himself.

In this world, life is not easy for everyone, that is to say, life is better after joining Shennong Baicaomen.

It is not an easy task for capable people with sound hands and feet to really live a good life.

And these beggars are all disabled.

Don't talk about how to grow up, even if they grow up, it may not be of much use, and there will be more hardships waiting for them in the future.

For them, life has long lost its sweetness, and all that is left is bitterness, and more bitterness.

Xiao Yao grew up in the gang of beggars. Although he was taken care of by the gang leader, he knew how cruel the real life of beggars was.

Even the current Xiao Yao is often hungry because he can't get food.

If you don't want to go hungry, you have to squeeze other weaker beggars.

Many beggar chiefs are not only well-fed and comfortable, but even wear gold and silver. However, every ounce of wealth and honor on their bodies is squeezed out by throwing beggars into the flesh mill.

The evil of the beggar's head is too numerous to describe.

The role of the gang of beggars is mainly to restrain these beggar heads, so that they do not do too much evil, do not do things too extreme, and find ways to make more beggars live longer.

However, even without a beggar's head, how long can an ordinary beggar live.

So Xiao Yao bit the bullet and came to Huang Xiaoshi, hoping to give these little beggars a way to survive, a real way to survive.

……

"Old Zhang. We have a branch in Luoyang, how much money can we get each year?" Huang Xiaoshi asked Old Zhang.

Without even thinking about it, Lao Zhang opened his mouth and said, "The dividend at the end of last year was 480 yuan."

"So much?" Huang Xiaoshi was stunned for a moment. Could it be that inflation has reached this level?

"How much does it cost to raise a child a year? Is two thousand enough?" Huang Xiaoshi asked Lao Zhang and the others.

When Huang Xiaoshi asked, everyone spoke one after another, some said enough, some said not enough, Huang Xiaoshi listened and said enough.

"Okay, that's it." Huang Xiaoshi said to Lao Zhang, "Take some dry shares from my shares (only dividends), and give each child four shares, and then you can take it away if you see who is pleasing to the eye.

It doesn't matter if you have adopted sons or apprentices, child brides, or self-supporting wives, it doesn't matter.

Whoever accepts it will get the dividends of the dry shares. I will raise the dry shares until the child dies, and then I will withdraw the dry shares.

Let me tell you first, first choice, first served, buy and leave, no return. "

When Huang Xiaoshi said this, all the doormen in the hall roared with laughter.

"Okay, let's start choosing." Huang Xiaoshi said so, and the doormen rushed to grab the child.

The question of whether 2000 yuan is enough to raise a child is like asking a college student whether [-] yuan is enough for a month's living expenses.

College students must say enough and not enough.

But if it is the parents who carry out the compulsory budget and expenditure, the money is definitely enough, not only enough, but also more.

In the end, all the children were robbed, except for the pear flower with the mutilated lower limbs.

"Look at you guys, you're too picky, you picked out all the good ones, and left me with this top product." Huang Xiaoshi teased rudely at the doormen who had snatched the child, and then he turned around and looked at "Eating last night." Drunk and fell down," Lao Xu said, "Old Xu, you're going back to Shuzhong too. Or, why don't you accept this cute little girl?"

Hearing this, Lao Xu hurried out to pick up Li Hua, nodded and bowed to Huang Xiaoshi and said, "I have four sons in my family, and I happen to be short of a daughter, so I will accept her. From now on, I will be her father." , if I have a bite to eat, I will definitely not treat this child badly."

Seeing Lao Xu like this, the doormen who didn't know where he was inside let out a burst of laughter.

Outside the Shennong Baicaomen, where the hall is full of laughter, there are countless beggars cuddling each other to keep warm, so as to resist the severe cold of this early spring.

People's joys and sorrows are not connected.
