beg for chivalry

Jin Wu wiped his eyes vigorously with his cuff, and shouted angrily: "No!"

But his voice was a little hoarse, he choked when he spoke, and the water in his eyes flickered quietly.Wang Xiaoyuan sighed, squatted down, tore off a piece of his sleeve, wiped the blood on his forehead, and bandaged the wound.

"I didn't expect to come out like this... I'm sorry, young master, I hurt you." Wang Xiaoyuan felt truly guilty for a rare time, and buried his head deeply.

If I had known that Jinwu would be smashed in the head, it would be better not to go out in the first place.Wang Xiaoyuan saw the suspicious and respectful eyes of the child and travelers, everyone seemed to be afraid of this child who looked different from ordinary people.

He vaguely recalled the story Mrs. Wang had talked to him while she was drunk, by the bonfire in Evil Man Valley, carrying a gourd of wine.On the far border, the frontier army's nest carts are rumbling forward, raising dust that obscures the sun, and the iron riders on the Harz Road straddle the rough horses, and the armored arms draw the horn bows, and the iron faces reflect a cold light in the daylight .

The Golden Crow is a descendant of the passers-by in Hatz.The cavalrymen on Harts Road were like ghosts, and their iron hoofs had trampled on their territory mercilessly, that's why the Golden Crow was hated so much.But Wang Xiaoyuan didn't understand why a child who was trapped in the courtyard all day and had never seen the outside world should be hated as an evil spirit?

"It's so strange, you are so rich, and you are from Ningyuan Houfu, but you will still be stoned..." Wang Xiaoyuan muttered.

"It's because my father is Marquis Ningyuan that I was not beaten to death." Jin Wu carefully touched the cloth strip wrapped around his head, pouted and said, "It's okay now, they just threw stones at me. "

Wang Xiaoyuan was stunned: "Apart from throwing stones, how else would they deal with you?"

"Pretending to play with me, secretly stuffing toads and pine caterpillars into my clothes." Jinwu said, "One winter, they scattered small round stones on the ground and asked me to help them pick them up, and then..."

"Then they kick your ass and smash your head?"

Jin Wu shook his head, "No, they hid a small knife and stabbed me while I was bending over." He said triumphantly, "Fortunately, I got a mink jacket from my mother that day, and I wore it on my body. The knife is really too thick, the blade only pierced some skin!"

Wang Xiaoyuan didn't know what to say, he just sighed, bent down and took Jinwu's hand: "Oh...I...I'll take you back."

"No... I don't want to go back." Unexpectedly, Jin Wu pursed his lips, shook his hand away, and shook his head. "It took me a while to come out, I don't want to go back to the mansion so soon..."

Seeing the reluctance of Jinwu's boss, Wang Xiaoyuan felt a little distressed.He was able to bring the Golden Crow Abduction out, but it seemed difficult to send it back.He thought for a while and said: "I would like to take you out for a walk, but what if someone sees you and they hit you with stones?"

"I'm not afraid!" Jin Wu gritted his teeth, stretched out his small fist and waved, "If there are stones thrown over again, I'll catch them with my mouth open and spit them back one by one!"

How silly.Wang Xiaoyuan thought so in his heart, but smiled unconsciously on his face.He said: "Wait for me for a while, I will buy some things."

He ran to the stall, bought a pitch-black handkerchief, and then dodged into the narrow alley, where the Golden Crow was waiting for him in a sack.Wang Xiaoyuan let down his hair, rubbed it into a mess on purpose, and tied the handkerchief loosely, the wide edge of the scarf covered Jinwu's pair of green eyes.

"Okay, now I'm sure even your mother won't recognize you!" Wang Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "And then, where do you want to go?"

Jinwu was very happy: "Will you accompany me wherever I go?"

Wang Xiaoyuan patted his chest and said: "Naturally. Young Master, I am a servant in your house, as long as I have money, I can carry you even if it is a mountain of swords and seas of fire!"

The tea shed was full of people, their moving figures covered the skylight outside, making the shed dim and crowded.A few narrow wooden square tables were full of porters and travelers, and the thick dust and sweat smelled in the narrow shed.

There are several bowls of tea on the table, there are yellow tea stains on the sides of the bowls, and a few thick leaves are still settled on the bottom of the bowls, which is far from the fine and fragrant tea powder in Jinfu.But Jinwu didn't mind, he held the tea bowl and stared blankly at the small table on the earthen platform, where there was a square paper lantern, illuminating a small world.

There was a stout speaker who was spitting and dancing passionately behind the table, shouting loudly from time to time, as if he was about to shake the zenith down, and occasionally narrating, weeping and complaining, everyone heard it Sometimes vigorously, sometimes depressed.

Wang Xiaoyuan and Jinwu squeezed together on a bench, and the porters on both sides sat tight, almost half of their bodies stuck together.Wang Xiaoyuan's arm was squeezed so uncomfortable that there was no place to put it, so he simply put it on Jinwu's shoulder.Jin Wu glared at him from the side, and twisted his waist fiercely, but still hugged him tightly.

After a break from the lecture, everyone cheered in unison, and the applause was like thunder.Jin Wu touched Wang Xiaoyuan with his elbow, and asked in a low voice, "I haven't heard of this before, what kind of story is this about?"

"Don't you know?" Wang Xiaoyuan clapped his hands vigorously and said loudly, "It's the story of Yubai Swordsman!"

"Yu... White Swordsman?"

Wang Xiaoyuan nodded seriously, "Well, Yubai Swordsman is the greatest knight in the world! She fights for justice, punishes rape and eradicates evil, and also has excellent saber skills. No one can pass three swords under her hands! Those three swords are called 'one sword is amazing, two swords hurt people, and three swords kill people', even the most terrifying Hou Tianzhu will be killed by her!"

Jin Wu's eyes straightened when he heard it, and he was very yearning.

"It is rumored that she lives in Tianshan, which is an extremely cold place. There is nothing but snow, and she has been there all her life to comprehend the meaning of the knife." After talking, Wang Xiaoyuan's voice weakened, "I...I seem to have a mother too. In Tianshan, I just heard my father mention it casually... But I also want to go there to see, there is not only the world's number one swordsman in Tianshan, but also me...my mother."

The speaker took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and continued his lecture with a pleated fan on.With his eloquent and eloquent narration, it seems that there are pictures and scenes unfolding in front of everyone.Sometimes it is the jade white swordsman cloaking the snow, the shadow of the sword is as bright as the moon, and the assassins of Houtianlou knelt down slowly under the sword like a group of crows; Shuttle through the night.

Both Wang Xiaoyuan and Jinwu were fascinated by what they heard, and they just wanted to get into the words of the storyteller, meet the independent woman, see if she is really as beautiful as the rumors, and her martial arts are unparalleled in the world like gods and ghosts ?

Jin Wu said in a daze: "I... I remember Dad brought me a jade pendant. It is said that at the birthday banquet of my mother, a fat Taoist priest brought it. With that jade pendant, I can enter the Tianshan Gate. A disciple. If there is such a master, Bao Zhun is better than being scolded by the grandfather every day..."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaoyuan couldn't help but feel his heart move.This is the reason why he sneaked into the Jin Mansion!He has been hanging out with this young master for so long because of this tattered jade pendant.Only this thing can bring Mrs. Wang into the Tianshan Mountains smoothly and escape unscathed. Maybe it will allow the three of them to live a good life with enough food and clothing from now on.

"Young master, that jade pendant..." Wang Xiaoyuan asked pretending to be calm, the hala almost fell to his chest.

"Hmph, do you want it? I won't give it to you!" Jin Wu smirked, and snorted, "If I can see the items of Yubai Swordsman, of course I will take it all by myself."

"You...!" Wang Xiaoyuan didn't expect that he could see through what he was thinking, and couldn't help but feel ashamed and anxious for a moment.Just now he was only thinking about how to make Jinwu happy, so he brought the young master to the tea shed where he listened to books, thinking that if he could serve the master happily, he would be able to get the jade pendant.I don't want to shoot myself in the foot this time, not only can't get the jade pendant, but it will fly far away.

"What's the matter with me? It was a gift from someone. It's up to me to decide what I want to do." Jin Wu said triumphantly.

"But you said earlier that you didn't want to go to the Tianshan Gate, and you said that you don't look down on any sect in today's martial arts!"

Jinwu winked at him: "The past was the past, and now is the present. Now that I have heard the story of the Yubai swordsman, I want to go to the Tianshan Gate again. You idiot are guarding the mansion, waiting for me to go to the Tianshan Gate to learn from the teacher." Come back after studying!"

After a moment of silence, Wang Xiaoyuan lowered his head dejectedly.

"Also... yes, the young master is right."

His attitude suddenly became so soft, which was really beyond Jinwu's expectation.Jinwu originally thought that he would be as aggressive as usual, but this time he calmed down obediently for some reason.

The voice of the book was cadenced, and the story was full of doubts and ups and downs. The tea guests were excited and applauded repeatedly.Amidst the din, Wang Xiaoyuan sat silently, bowed his head and thought for a long time, and finally showed a wry smile to Jinwu. "It's a blessing from my ancestors for three generations to get the young master's favor for a tricky person like me. As for asking the young master for anything, it's really unreasonable." Things."

Jin Wu originally thought that he was saying some false words to deceive himself, but when he took a closer look at his dark and clear eyes, there was a sad light in those eyes, which did not seem to be pretending, and he choked again immediately. said.

"But let me tell you the truth, young master." Wang Xiaoyuan said cruelly, "I came to the mansion just to steal this jade pendant. I don't want silver, gold or anything, I just want to get this jade pendant !"

"Do you think I can't see what your intentions are when you come to the mansion? I already knew!" Jinwu turned his face away, as if he was a little awkward, and said in a low voice, "I heard from my father that there are many people in the world who want to This thing, just because it is a token of Tianshanmen, if you hold it in your hand, even the elders of Tianshanmen will have to look at you."

"But I don't want to give it to you, Wang Xiaoyuan. If this jade pendant is given to you, what should you do if you go to Tianshan Gate?"

Jin Wu said, speaking every word very slowly.The blue eyes shone brightly in the dim sky, like a faint flame.He whispered:

"It took me so long to make a friend. I don't want to be alone again."
