Qin Shi Mingyue Taoist Master Uncle

Seeing that Beichen was still smiling lightly, when the other party was about to step out of the courtyard, he flicked his fingers, and saw a flash of cold air, and then disappeared.

Almost at the same time, the thin man suddenly felt unable to move his right foot, and then he staggered and lost his balance, almost falling to the ground.

Looking down, there was a look of horror on his face. He saw that his right foot was frozen by a piece of ice, and a trace of chill penetrated into his body through his skin. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't move his right foot.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from beside his ear: "Isn't it impolite to try to steal and run away without consent?"

Hearing this, the man hurriedly looked to the side, only to see that the young man had arrived at the gate of the courtyard at some point, standing two meters to his left.

Up to now, he didn't have the heart to think too much, so he could only plead bitterly: "I hope that Mr. Xiaolang will be merciful and let me go! Let me find money for the younger brother to heal the injury first. When he recovers, when the time comes There is absolutely no difference between beating and punishing!"

Judging from the other party's expression and tone, he should not have lied, but Bei Chen did not let him go immediately, but said: "Let you go out, and then find another opportunity to steal other people's property? A miserable person in troubled times What's more, this is not a reason for me to let you go!"

Chapter 41 Pirates and Zhi

Hearing this, the man became extremely disappointed, and his tone was filled with despair: "According to the Qin Law, the thief will be punished with two armors, and his hands will be cut off if he is serious. If it is not desperate, I am not willing to do this!"

Bei Chen also felt a little emotional in his heart, it is indeed not easy to survive in this age!For many people, their birth has already determined their future. Born in a wealthy family, even if they don’t work hard, they can live comfortably, but born in a poor family, even if they work every day, they still can’t eat enough.

The state of Qin is actually relatively good, at least it can still take the road of military merit and conferring titles. Lord Wu'an Bai Qi is the best example, while the other six countries basically did not give ordinary people a chance.

Thinking of this, Beichen asked again: "What's your name?"

Hearing this, the thin man was slightly stunned, and then he said: "My name is Hui, I was born in the State of Zhao, and I am seventeen years old. Because of a disaster in my hometown, I fled all the way to the State of Qin."

"Seventeen years old?" Bei Chen was a little surprised. Looking at the other party like this, he should be at least twenty years old, but he was still a minor.It can only be said that people in this era generally do not live long, and children from poor families are exposed to the wind and sun all day, so they look more "premature."

"What about your brother?" Bei Chen asked again.

"My little brother is called Zhi, and he is ten years old this year." The other party replied again.

"There are only two of you brothers in the family?"

"Yes, our parents gave me and my brother the last morsel of food three years ago, and they starved to death in the famine.

Afterwards, the two brothers of ours went into exile, and only survived with the help of well-meaning people. "Hui continued.

Although the parents of the two are dead, it is God's favor that the brothers can survive under such circumstances.

Beichen thought of this, and then asked again: "Then tell me what happened to your brother's injury!"

Hearing this, Hui sighed, and began to recall: "Zhi has always been a very lively child, although a little naughty but very sensible, every time I come back from work, he will be busy pouring water and cooking, always thinking that he can Do something to help me, and do you know that Zhi runs so fast that no kid in the same village who is two years older than him can catch him.” At this point, Hui showed a happy smile on his face, as if he My younger brother is right in front of my eyes.

But at this moment, Hui seemed to think of something again, his expression suddenly became very sad and filled with resentment, tears rolled in his eyes, and he said with tears and pain: "Zhi was still fine at first, but later Because he felt that his legs and feet were fast, he wanted to take a hairpin from Wang Yuanwai's house in the county, but he was discovered by accident. After that, Wang Yuanwai ordered his servants to beat Zhi severely. Zhi was just a child, how could he stand those people? Fists, feet and wooden sticks, they were almost beaten to death on the spot!"

Hearing this, Bei Chen smiled involuntarily: "You really can't be brothers, you are really carved out of the same mold."

Hearing the implication of this sentence, Hui quickly argued: "That's not the case, did he steal things for himself? That hairpin was originally a family heirloom of old man Li, and was originally intended to be given to his future daughter-in-law. In the end, he was robbed by the son of Wang Yuan's family, and Zhi just wanted to help Old Man Li get back his things!"

Hui's tears fell when he said that: "Even though he was beaten like this, Zhi still didn't regret it, and said a word before he fell into a coma."

"Oh? What are you talking about?" Bei Chen also became interested in this child named Zhi.

Hui wiped away his tears and said: "Zhi said that if he doesn't die this time, he will definitely become a big thief in the future, stealing all the money from all the bad guys' homes, so that they will not dare to be bad guys again.

He even gave himself a surname called "Pirate". Do you think he is naive and stupid? "Hui asked with a smile.

Bei Chen smiled and shook his head: "The wish is good, but it won't last long!"

Hui said bitterly: "I think so too, I want Zhi to give up this idea, but now it seems that he has no chance to change it!"

"Although I don't like thieves, there's no need to change it. It doesn't seem like a bad thing to have one more bandit Zhi in this world who steals for good!" Bei Chen smiled.

Hui wanted to say something more, but suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly and joyfully, "You mean you want Zhi to live, and are you willing to save him?"

Beichen didn't answer, just smiled and snapped his fingers, "snapped", the ice freezing the opponent's sole suddenly shattered, and his right foot was free again.

Before Hui came back to his senses, he saw Bei Chen throwing something at him. After reaching out to catch it, he found it was a pill the size of a little finger.

Seeing this, Hui was a little puzzled, and looked at Beichen with the God-Returning Pill, but at this moment he heard the other party say: "As long as your little brother is not dead, this medicine can save his life."

Hearing this, he was overjoyed, and before he could thank him, he heard a voice next to his ear: "Go on!" Then he saw a faint light shooting towards him, and he caught it almost subconsciously. , and then spread out the palm to see, it turned out to be a luminous pearl!

"Exchange it into money, it should be enough to heal your brother Zhi's injury completely, as for the extra, you can do it yourself!"

After the words fell, Hui was stunned for a moment and then surprised. He looked towards the palm of his hand. Although the night pearl in his hand was not big, it was at least worth ten gold at the current market price!

In the current world, ordinary people only spend two to three hundred qian a year, and this ten gold is roughly equivalent to about [-] qian, which is enough for him and Zhi to live for ten years.For a poor family like Hui, it is undoubtedly a huge sum of money!

Although the other party seemed to be a son of a rich family, he never thought that Bei Chen would just give this luminous pearl to him directly.

But no matter how valuable this thing is, he can't be cheeky to subordinate him. Although he is poor, he has his own bottom line.

So he held the bead that was shining brightly in the night with both hands, bowed and said: "It is already a great kindness for you to donate medicine to save Xiaozhi regardless of the past, if I covet your money again , so what face is there to show people? Please take it back!" The voice was firm and sincere.

Hearing these words from Hui's mouth, Bei Chen's impression of Hui also changed a little. He didn't expect that he not only valued friendship, but also could not be tempted by money, which is not bad.

However, Beichen did not take back Ye Mingzhu as he wished, instead he said: "Since I gave it to you, then you can take it. You don't have to take it as a kind of kindness or charity. The reason why I gave medicine and money today is not It's all out of pity, and it's also to satisfy my own curiosity!"

Chapter 42 Thieves have their way

"Curiosity?" Hui seemed a little confused again.

Seeing this, Bei Chen shook his head slightly. Although this Hui has a good character, he lacks understanding. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to achieve much in this life.

"You can understand my approach as an investment, and the object of the investment is your brother Zhi.

I am very curious about his future fate, whether he can really become what he said. If my investment tonight really becomes a thief king, it must be a very interesting thing! "As he said, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
