My man's combat power explodes the table [traveling]

"En." Li Shi frowned, took two steps forward, and observed the marks on the wall.

Luo Hua followed curiously: "Which family is this kid, and what does he have to do with what happened to me today?"

Li Shi seemed to confirm something, and turned back with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's a beggar. I guess we were targeted when we entered the city in the morning. We met twice before we went to the bookstore."

beggar?Luo Hua's eyes lit up.Isn't that just like the gang of beggars on TV?

No, this is a child, it cannot be some beggar gang.Besides, this kid even sold his news to Zou Rongxiang!

They can sell news, how can they not know Zou Rongxiang's character?

However, only five or six years old...

He became a beggar at a young age, and it is estimated that there is no reliable elder family to support and teach him. It is understandable to sell news in order to survive.But as a victim—even if he has not received any substantial harm—he still feels uncomfortable and unhappy.

Not to mention anything else, what would have happened to him if Li Shi hadn't been behind him, and if Li Shi had come a step later?

Yes, he might be able to reveal Li Shi's identity and delay for a while, but what if he meets someone crazy?What if Zou Rongxiang directly killed people in order to silence him?

Fortunately, Li Shi arrived in time.

He is lucky.But how many men were there in Zou Rongxiang's backyard, and how many of them were forced?How many suffered indirectly through the hands of these beggars?

No matter how bad it is, if you take a closer look, there must be a lot of dirty things in the entire county, how many of them are handled by these beggars?

Thinking of this, he immediately didn't know what to say.

Probably because of the complicated expression on his face, Li Shi rubbed his head: "What's wrong?"

"Brother Shitou, what are you trying to do by catching that child?" You can't beat him up, can you?

As if seeing his displeasure, Li Shi took his hand and led him out of the alley: "Don't think too much. I still owe that kid money."

Luo Hua: "...you're kidding me."

Li Shi laughed: "That child is young, although he did something wrong, he still has a bit of conscience."

"Conscience?" Luo Hua was puzzled, "I don't know how many people he has harmed, why do you still say he has a conscience?"

Li Shi, who slowed down so that he could keep up, turned his head sideways: "When I went back to the bookstore, that kid was still guarding the door and did not escape. Now that I think about it, he probably did it on purpose. When I caught him , He also seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and directly asked me to buy news with money. When I was rushing here, he specifically told me how long you have been arrested." He paused, "He doesn't know our identities, dare to Selling the news to us, just having the courage to not be afraid of Zou Rongxiang's revenge is not bad."

After all, Zou Rongxiang has been domineering in Changfu County for many years, and as a beggar at the bottom, it is impossible not to know.

Luo Hua pursed her lips: "Maybe it's just because of greed that you want to sell two places?"

"You seem to hate him very much?" Li Shi stopped in his tracks.

Luo Hua was surprised: "You like him?" Then he got angry and raised his hand to grab his arm, "This kid hurt me, but you actually like him."

"One size fits all. I'll punish him for hurting you, but..."

"But?" Luo Hua squinted at him, "What do you want?"

Li Shi grabbed his hand and put it to his mouth, and then moved on to mention other things: "The martial arts between me and Ah Zheng have been taught by the master for many years. The master avoided living in troubled times, and finally died of old age, but he is against the fire of war." Even the secular world is never forgotten."

Luo Hua was thoughtful: "That's why you and Brother Zheng went down the mountain to join the army?"

Li Shi nodded: "This is the wish of the master during his lifetime. He is old and can't do anything. He can only die in depression. Since Ah Zheng and I have been raised and taught by him, it is naturally incumbent on us." At the end of the noisy alleyway, his eyes were far away, as if he saw the wall of the country built by the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​fire, "Now that the foreign enemies have been driven out, the world is peaceful, and the master's wish is half fulfilled."

"half?"

Li Shi turned back: "The other half is to pass on the unique knowledge of the master."

Sure enough, he guessed it.

Luo Hua pouted.

Now that he has formed a contract with himself, he will never have any heirs in this life, and it is not too much to accept an apprentice.The issue is--

"Why must it be this kid? Although I haven't seen him, I'm afraid." Today's behavior, plus the fact that he has been a beggar for an unknown period of time, is probably not contaminated with a whole body of bad habits.I don't like it when I think about it.

Li Shi chuckled: "I didn't say I would choose him."

"Then how did you think about it when you saw him?"

"He is very clever, but," Li Shi rubbed his head, "I have to look again."

"Hmph." Anyway, it meant that he liked the little beggar.Luo Hua turned his head away and refused to let him touch it.

Li Shi was so funny that he couldn't help but leaned over and stole a kiss on the lips of the quarreling daughter-in-law: "Don't worry, my apprentice, you must like it."

Luo Hua didn't really annoy him, it was just that he couldn't help but lose his temper after being spoiled by him.

"Then what are you going to think?"

"No hurry, let's go to him to settle the account first."

Li Shi pulled Luo Hua out of the alley, found a beggar on the street, paid a few pennies and asked where the little beggar lived.

The two turned around and found a dilapidated house in the west of the city.

It's really a deserted house.

The walls are almost incomplete, and there are only a few decayed beams left on the roof, which will be erected on the ruins without falling down.

Along the walls, thatched sheds were erected large and small, with bits and pieces of rags hanging on them to serve as shelters. At first glance, it was the place where beggars gathered in the city—it is said that such places, large and small, have Several places.

There were no broken stones or tiles on the ground, and it was impossible to tell whether it was clean or not on the pitch-black mud.

On a hot summer afternoon, there was a sour smell in the air.

Li Shi stopped in front of the dilapidated door frame - no door panel - and looked at Luo Hua: "It's too salty inside, you wait for me here, I'll come out after I go in and have a look." Xiao Hua loves to be clean so much, it's better not to go in .

Luo Hua shook his head: "It's okay." Thinking of something, he raised his eyes and teased someone, "As long as it's not some kind of snake, rat or ant, I don't care if it's dirty. If I'm afraid of dirt, I don't need to farm."

Li Shi: ...

"Besides, I also want to see what the child in your eyes looks like."

Li Shi thought about it too.Then he nodded and stepped into the deserted house first.

At this point, most of the beggars inside are "working" outside.Those left behind are either sick or old and frail, unable to walk.

Li Shi asked an old beggar by the door for a few words, and then continued to walk in.

Going all the way to the innermost part, near the thatched hut with several boards, on the edge of the half-fallen courtyard wall, there is a shed like the others, with a hole in the cloth curtain to block the scorching sun outside, and also to block it. Li Shi and Luo Hua arrived.

There were muffled coughing and talking from inside.

"Grandfather, come, drink some water."

"Ah Zhuang, why did you come back so early today?" The old voice sounded weak.

"Hey, a kind aunt gave some copper coins today. I was afraid of being robbed, so I hurried to buy a few buns." The immature child's voice was full of maturity that was not commensurate with the age, "We can also try it today. It tastes like meat. If you eat two more Bubu, your health will be better tomorrow. My younger brother will also eat it, and he will grow taller after eating it."

"Brother. Eat meat." A childish voice followed.

"My brother, wait for Grandpa to take it easy, let's eat together."

"it is good."

"Good boy." The old voice was filled with relief, and a series of violent coughs broke out in the next moment.

The immature child's voice suddenly panicked: "Grandfather!"

Coughing until he couldn't breathe, the old man calmed down: "It's nothing, it's just an old problem." He said in a loving voice, "Hurry up, bring the buns, thanks to you today, Grandpa can also taste the meat gone."

There was a moment of silence inside, as if the buns were being distributed.

"Grandfather, here it is, it's still hot. Brother, come, eat slowly."

after awhile--

The milky voice said in surprise: "Brother, the meat is delicious!"

"Hey, it's delicious. In the future, my brother will work hard to earn money so that you can eat meat buns every day."

"Hmm."

"...Ah Zhuang, don't you want to eat?" The old man was puzzled.

"I've eaten it. I was hungry when I bought it. I couldn't help but ate it first, hehe."

The old man didn't seem to doubt that he was there, and the inside became quiet again, except for the faint sound of eating.

There seems to be the sound of swallowing saliva——

"Ah, grandpa and brother, eat first, and then I'll go out for a run and try to earn more."

The old man seemed a little hesitant: "...Thank you for your hard work, Zhuang."

"elder brother……"

"My dear brother, I'll be back later. You take care of grandpa at home."

"it is good!"

As soon as the words were finished, a skinny child who looked like he was only five or six years old came out as Li Shi said.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Luo Hua standing a few steps away, bathed in the sun.

The child whose face was dirty and could not see clearly opened his eyes wide.He looked back at the cloth curtain, and then turned back to look directly at them: "What are you doing?" The thin face with a pair of black eyes was full of guard.

Luo Hua looked him up and down.

She was as thin as a hemp stalk, and the clothes on her body were obviously adult clothes.Clothes with patches and holes hung empty.Because she is too thin, she has a big head, a small face, and deep eye sockets.

At this moment, the skinny little Douding looked at them like a hedgehog with thorns all over his body, "I told you the news, and you rescued him. What do you want to do now?" He didn't even have any money. It's coming!

Before Li Shi could answer, the people in the shed heard the sound and got out.

At the beginning is a skinny old man with a sallow complexion, and his grizzled hair has a gray tone.Behind is a young child of about two or three years old, with a dark yellow complexion. It looks plump than the other two, but it is far from the baby fat that should be at this age.

The two people who came out were still holding half a bun in their hands. When they saw Li Shi and the others, the young boy was still ignorant, but the old man who was leaning on a piece of wood with difficulty immediately showed panic.

Li Shi pulled back his gaze, looked down at the little Douding in front of him, took out the money he had prepared and threw it away: "I owe you the money, don't you want it anymore?"

Xiao Douding's eyes lit up, staring closely at the up and down silver ingots.He swallowed: "Really give it to me?"

Li Shi glanced around and looked at him again: "Of course. Do you dare to ask for it?"

With the sudden arrival of him and Luo Hua, the sights hidden in the grass sheds everywhere have never been missing.

He himself is just a child, and there is only an old man and a child behind him.With such a silver ingot, what will this kid do?

Xiao Douding noticed his eyes, but turned a blind eye to those around him, and nodded firmly: "I want it for you."

Li Shi raised his eyebrows and threw the silver ingot towards him.

Xiaodouding hurriedly reached out to catch it.Holding it in his hand, he was not in a hurry to look at it. First, he gave Li Shi a confirmation look, and then carefully picked it up and bit it. He seemed a little annoyed when it was over.

He raised his head: "Is your money real? How do I know that you are not lying to me?"

"Of course it's true, but we can still afford it for a mere ten taels of silver." Li Shi didn't care, and waved his hands casually, "Okay, I'll give you the money too, and we'll leave now."

Little Douding's eyes widened.These two people came here to give him money?Is there something wrong with this?

Luo Hua was also very surprised, but this was not the time to ask questions, so he obediently followed Li Shi.
