Li Shi took Luo Hua out of the way.

Luo Hua was still looking back frequently, when he was suddenly picked up, and within a few jumps, he was placed on a roof.

"What are you doing?" Luo Hua quickly grabbed his arm.

Li Shi pointed to the distance: "Look."

Luo Hua followed his gaze, and the situation in the deserted house where beggars gathered was clear at a glance.He immediately understood, quietly watching the behavior of the little beggar over there.

Li Shi took a closer look at him, then turned back to observe the little beggar.

The little beggar holding the ten taels of silver ingot seemed to say something to the old man, then turned around and stood there motionless.

The distance is too far to hear the sound, but looking at the elderly and children coming out of the grass sheds one after another, it is estimated that the little beggar is calling them out.

After a while, these people seemed to have reached an agreement, and several old men who seemed to be in good health left with the little beggar.

Only then did Luo Hua turn back: "Can you hear what they said?" Turning around, he realized that Li Shi was looking at him, "What's wrong?"

"Of course I can hear it." Li Shi didn't answer him, but explained to him, "The kid took out the ten taels of silver and said that he would treat everyone to a good meal."

Luo Hua suddenly understood: "Spread money to protect yourself? The old man taught it?"

Li Shi shook his head: "The old man is indeed worried, but it's a child's own idea. He has no ability to protect himself, and he can't keep money. It's better to have a full meal. He is smart." He chuckled, "I wanted to make him suffer, but I didn't expect..."

Giving money is just a cover, but it is actually to test him, right?

Listen, every word and every word is appreciation.

I have said it several times since I left the Zou Mansion.

How could Luo Hua not know what he was thinking, but compared to himself...

This kid has harmed him indirectly, so how can he still win his favor?Is he actually not as valued by him as he imagined?Or is he not that important compared to his inheritance of martial arts?

What's this?

Thinking of this, Luo Hua was suddenly a little annoyed: "You really like this kid so much?"

Li Shi held his face and turned to himself, his eyes focused: "Did I tell you about my childhood?"

Luo Hua blinked, why did he suddenly change the subject?

"I didn't tell you what happened before I went up the mountain."

Li Shi hesitated: "...I'm afraid I'll scare you."

Luo Hua rolled his eyes: "You went to the battlefield before and killed so many people, didn't I fear you? There is nothing to worry about."

Li Shi's eyes softened.He organized his words slightly: "When I was eight years old, my whole family went out to my grandparents' house for a wedding, but they ran into rioters washing the village. At that time, Ah Zheng, who was from the same village as my grandparents, sneaked to the mountain to dig out the bird's nest and escaped. Jie, when we find out that something is wrong, the whole village will become a den of thieves."

Qin Zheng was also a survivor?No wonder he has such a good friendship with Li Shi.

Li Shi looked into the distance: "We are just children of a few years old, we can't do anything, we can only endure grief and hatred, and start a life of wandering and begging."

Luo Hua pursed her lips. The pain of the whole family's death is unbearable even for ordinary people. How did they survive at such a young age?

"More than ten years ago, there were constant wars everywhere. Whether it was a county town or a village, it was more miserable than it is now, and there were more beggars. We were young, and we would be squeezed out and bullied by local beggars, beaten and scolded. Forget it, I often don’t have enough to eat.” Li Shi suddenly turned back to look at him with a serious expression, “Do you know what it feels like to be hungry?”

Luo Hua was stunned.

"That's the despair of not knowing when you will starve to death." Li Shichui clenched his hands into fists, "We haven't even collected the bones of our parents and relatives, and we don't even have the qualifications to starve to death."

Luo Hua's eyes suddenly turned red.

"During those days, in order to survive, Ah Zheng and I did everything. We gnawed bark and grass roots, and even tried to eat soil and mountain spring water. In the end," Li Shi lowered his eyelids and said slowly, word by word, " Stealing, kidnapping, and robbing, as long as we can exchange for a little bit of rotten and smelly food, we will do anything. If it weren't for our young age, murder and arson would probably be..." It's not a problem.

"The me I used to be may be worse than that little beggar." Li Shi took a deep breath, raised his eyes to look at Luo Hua cautiously, "Do you hate me like this?"

Luo Hua was very distressed, and stretched out his hand to wrap his clenched fist: "How come? I only regret that I was not by your side back then." A few-year-old child, lonely and helpless, struggling to survive is too difficult .

Thinking about it this way, the little beggar didn't seem so annoying anymore.

Li Shi carefully looked at his expression, and seeing that he really did not resist, he relaxed his body a little: "I am glad that you were not the one who accompanied me back then. Those days were so hard, I couldn't bear it."

Luo Hua pursed her lips.It's in the past.

"My childhood was despicable, my past was stained with blood, and I was burdened with too many murders..." Li Shi squeezed his hand tightly, "I once said that Xiao Peiru's pursuit is very annoying. Said that I came back to act in a low-key manner, so I have never confessed my identity and my past to you." He squeezed a little bit harder, "The root cause is that I am afraid that after you get to know me thoroughly, you will... …"dislike me.

"That's why you exposed a little bit?" Luo Hua was speechless, and then a little curious, "If I despise you, what will you do?"

Li Shi stared straight at him: "I want to grow old with you. And in my bones, I am still the person who used to do whatever it takes to survive." He didn't say what he would do, but the meaning behind his words was revealed without a doubt.

"If I despise you, can you still imprison me?" Luo Hua frowned.

This not-so-good idea made the corners of Li Shi's mouth a little stiff: "Daughter-in-law, I think this topic should stop." After talking, he was afraid that he couldn't help but tie him up and take him home to punish him.

Seeing his reaction like this, Luo Hua felt extremely sweet in his heart.He pretended to be aggrieved: "Huh, if you don't say it, then don't say it." It's a pity that his crooked eyebrows betrayed his improved mood.

Li Shi couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed the corner of his eyes.

"Okay, let's continue talking about that kid." Luo Hua pushed him away.

"I know you don't like that child." Li Shishi gently rubbed the back of his hand with his thumb, his face turned serious, and the words he uttered were extremely cold, "But you have to believe that I am not that kind. All my kindness, The inheritance I want is based on the premise that everything is safe for you. If something happened to you today, I will definitely let everyone involved die, including this child. If that is the case, it is impossible for me to adopt him, or even Will..." Solve him personally.

Luo Hua pouted: "It's nice to say, but who knows what didn't happen? Maybe I'm not as important as you think."

Li Shi couldn't help showing a doting smile on his face, breaking through the coldness of the last moment.He raised his hand and rubbed Luo Hua's head: "Is this my wife's taste? Eating a child's vinegar? Huh?"

Luo Hua turned his head away awkwardly.

Li Shi snapped his head back: "We have just formed a bond, I didn't plan to accept apprentices so early. This kid, I think he is so similar to me when I was young, so I moved the idea of ​​accepting apprentices .”

Luo Hua squinted at him: "Where does it look like?"

"Smart, knowledgeable about current affairs, wolf-like but still true to heart." Li Shi glanced at the deserted house, "Even the encounters and ways of doing things are quite similar."

"Hmph. After only a short time of contact, you can see it?" Luo Hua chuckled lightly.

Li Shi laughed: "The front is, and the back is only seen here." His tone was full of nostalgia, "When the master first met me and Ah Zheng, he said that we were like wolf cubs. At that time We just happened to steal from him..."

Luo Hua became interested in Li Shi's master.It's a pity that his old man has passed away long ago.

Li Shi saw him wandering, leaned over, bit the pale pink lips and sucked for a while, and then let go of him after a long while: "If you really don't like him, forget it, anyway, there are too many children without fathers and mothers in the world. Let’s see each other slowly later.”

Luo Hua bit her lower lip: "It's not that I don't like it..." Wasn't that just the beginning of the reaction.

However, thinking of Li Shi who felt the same way, and from this to the other, he really felt pity for the little beggar.

"If I nod, you plan to accept him?"

"Of course not, we have to test it again." Li Shi said casually.

Luo Hua was speechless: "Isn't it just to accept an apprentice? And to test again and again? It's not looking for an heir to the throne."

Li Shi coughed lightly: "Daughter-in-law, Ah Zheng and I have martial arts skills, but we can come and go freely after taking the enemy's head in thousands of miles." It is absolutely unbearable to be underestimated by your wife, you must show off Fan, "If this kind of force is placed on people with weak hearts, it will eventually be a disaster."

"Then you are not afraid that this kid is a bad guy at all?"

"That's why we have to test."

"..." Well, he won. "Then what do we do next?"

"Wait."

Wait until the evening approaches.

During the period, Li Shi took Luo Hua back to the inn, and asked Qin Zheng and the others to go back to the village first, and they were going to stay in the county tonight.

And the little beggar here.

He and a few old beggars spent ten taels of silver until only thirty or so Wen was left, and bought a lot of vegetables, meat and steamed stuffed buns.

The beggars in the deserted house had a good meal today as if they were Chinese New Year—no, it was better than Chinese New Year. These vegetables and meat were all untouched, not leftovers from other people's food.

Back in their straw shed, the child was relieved.

My younger brother, A Bao, had already eaten and drank enough and fell asleep.

The old man was very distressed: "Twelve taels...cough cough cough, this is the first time I have seen this old man at such an age. He actually wants to give them money for nothing."

The child hurriedly comforted him: "Grandpa, don't think too much. We can't keep such a large sum of money." He lowered his voice, "I have saved dozens of coins. If I save a few times, I can bring You went to see the doctor."

"Cough, cough, cough." The old man was very relieved, "I'm getting old, don't waste that money. Buy yourself and Abao more delicious tonics, and it's true to grow up quickly."

The child smiled and did not speak.

Thinking of the two people who came over in the next afternoon, the old man worried and asked again: "This money...cough cough cough, it really wasn't something you did?"

"Really not." The child patiently explained again, "I picked up their money bag, which they promised to give me."

The old man sighed: "What a good man...cough cough cough, if you can get... cough cough cough..." These two are good children, it would be great if such a good person could adopt them...

"Hey, little brat!" A voice greeted suddenly from outside the thatched shed.
