Chapter 17 Who's Right and Who's Wrong?

Ever since Xiao Yueming took out the Ruby Card, the whole atmosphere has become very strange. Although there are still conversations and laughter from time to time, it is not as casual as before.

After the luncheon, Xu Lin and Shangguan Yili went to enjoy the scenery. Xiao Yueming did not go with them. He knew that others did not like to travel with him, so why bother himself.

In the study, Xu Heng and Xiao Yueming sat opposite each other.

"Uncle Xu, this time Yueming comes to say goodbye to you. Now there are five years left, and I am ready to make a career in the world."

When Xu Heng heard this, he looked melancholy: "Yue Ming, over the years, I have been looking for the miraculous doctor Qinggu and the method to cure the soul-breaking poison, but I have found nothing. Now you want to make a career in the world, which is also a good thing. Maybe you can

Something gained.”

Xiao Yueming nodded slightly: "I think so too, so I plan to leave this afternoon."

"Leaving this afternoon? Isn't it too hasty? Do you have any plans for the next trip?"

"Walking around the world, when is the right time to leave? I plan to go to Xianzhou first to see Baiyue Tower. I heard that place is quite famous."

Xiao Yueming really didn't know where he was going, but he remembered the Bai Yue Tower jade carving introduced to him by the owner of the antique shop, and immediately became interested.

"I have heard about Baiyue Tower, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. Xianzhou is also famous for its delicious food and beautiful scenery. It is a good place." Xu Heng nodded.

"Yueming, traveling in the world requires real money. Food and accommodation are all necessary expenses. I have prepared some banknotes for you. If you take them, it will be regarded as Uncle Xu's favor."

After saying that, Xu Heng opened the desk drawer, took out a stack of banknotes, and placed them in front of Xiao Yueming.

Xiao Yueming was not pretentious. Money was needed everywhere outside. He reached out and picked up the banknotes. There were ten in total, each of five hundred taels. The total was five thousand taels of silver. An ordinary farmer's monthly income was only two taels.

Five thousand taels of silver is definitely a huge sum of money.

After thanking Xu Heng, Xiao Yueming stood up and left without further disturbance.

In the afternoon, Xiao Yueming walked from the room, preparing to solve one of the three emergencies. As soon as he walked to the rockery, he heard the conversation:

"Jiang Yuan, what kind of capital does Xiao Yueming have to appear in front of us? It's all for Xu Lin's sake that we can talk to him."

"Brother Shangguan is surprised by this statement. Although this Xiao Yueming has no ability, he is very handsome, very good!"

"Hahaha, I still know about Brother Jiang Yuan's hobbies. Why don't I catch that pretty boy with my own hands for your enjoyment?"

"Isn't this good? Brother Shangguan is joking."

"He's just a lost dog who doesn't even have a family, and his father is not a good thing. No one in the world knows that Xiao Li suddenly went crazy at that time and took his own

His wife was stabbed to death, and there are rumors that Xiao Li is actually a demon, otherwise why would he suddenly go crazy and hurt others?"

There is no doubt that the two people speaking are Shangguan Yili and Wang Jiangyuan.

Xiao Yueming gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, resisting the desire to rush out. After a while, her clenched fists slowly loosened. Xiao Yueming narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at the two figures before disappearing from behind the rockery.

Outside the Xu Mansion, Xu Heng and others personally saw Xiao Yueming off: "Yueming, be careful when you are outside and don't trust others easily. If you encounter difficulties that you cannot solve, you can come back and talk to Uncle Xu."

Xu Heng instructed.

"Yue Ming please remember, Uncle Xu and Xu Lin, there is no need to see each other off." Xiao Yueming bowed her hands to Xu Heng, then turned around and left with her green clothes fluttering.

On the road, this place is close to the western suburbs of Liuzhong. Compared with the central area of ​​Liuzhong, there are obviously fewer people. Xiao Yueming plans to go to pay homage to his parents first, and then rush to Xianzhou.

The building facilities in the western suburbs are very simple, equivalent to the slums in Liuzhong. All kinds of gangsters and people from all religions gather in this area, and fights are commonplace and happen from time to time.

Xiao Yueming, with her fluttering green clothes and refined temperament, seemed out of place as she walked on the streets of the western suburbs. The big men and some beggars in tattered clothes around her were attracted, and their eyes were filled with strong aggression.

Xiao Yueming didn't care about this at all. They were just some local ruffians who didn't get Xiao Yueming's attention.

As Xiao Yueming went deeper and deeper, the houses on both sides of the street became more and more dilapidated. At this time, there was a noise in front of him.

"Please, please let my daughter go. Let me be a cow or a horse. Don't take away my child."

A woman burst into tears and screamed in despair. She knelt on the ground and hugged the leg of a big man. The big man had a strong back and a bear-like waist. He held an eleven or twelve-year-old girl in his arms and kept kicking her with one foot.

But the woman refused to let go.

Xiao Yueming looked at this scene calmly and had no intention of helping. There are so many injustices in the world, but which one is really black and white, right or wrong? If you act rashly, you may do bad things with good intentions, which will be thankless.

Xiao Yueming didn't want to take action, but unfortunately trouble came to his door.

When the woman lying on the ground saw Xiao Yueming approaching, she immediately released her hands holding the big man's legs, turned around and knelt in front of Xiao Yueming.

"This young master, please save my child, please, please..."

"

The woman kowtowed her head vigorously, making a banging sound, and her forehead was dripping with blood.

Xiao Yueming frowned slightly and looked at the woman on the ground indifferently.

Seeing that the woman wanted to ask Xiao Yueming for help, the naked man reminded him: "Boy, don't meddle in other people's business. This woman's

My husband lost everything in the gambling house, and in the end he lost his daughter as well. You kid, get out of the way quickly and don’t delay Grandpa while I do my business."

The big man sounded a little impatient.

Xiao Yueming remained silent, bypassed the woman who was still kowtowing, and left.

"You're a wise boy."

"etc!"

The naked man looked at Xiao Yueming's back and suddenly said.

Xiao Yueming turned around and looked at the big man. The shirtless man suddenly showed an angry look on his face and said ferociously: "So it's you. How can I say that I just saw you look familiar? What's wrong, you don't recognize me anymore? You are the only kid in the alley."

Let me see where you go today."

When Xiao Yueming heard what he said, he remembered who this was. Wasn't he the drunk man from this morning? Life is full of surprises.

"It turns out it's you. It's true that I was reckless this morning. I'm going to apologize to my brother. How about paying you some silver." Xiao Yueming said in a polite tone.

"Yin Liang? I'll beat you down and peel you off cleanly. Won't all the silver liang belong to me, grandpa?"

The shirtless man spoke in a ferocious tone and grabbed Xiao Yueming with his big hands.

Xiao Yueming looked at the person in front of him, narrowed his eyes slightly, ducked sideways, and easily dodged the big man's blow.

The big man was a little surprised when he saw the thin Xiao Yueming evade his attack so easily, and then he rushed over with a fierce look on his face.

Seeing the strong man rushing towards him like a bear, Xiao Yueming kicked the big man in the stomach and kicked him several meters away. Xiao Yueming had already spared his hand, otherwise the big man would have been splashed with blood on the spot.

.

The big man struggled to get up and saw that Xiao Yueming was a tough guy. He pointed at Xiao Yueming and said fiercely: "Boy, wait for grandpa. If you have the ability, don't run away. Grandpa won't be able to kill you when he comes back!"

After the shirtless man finished his cruel words, he bent his waist, clutched his stomach, and disappeared around the corner of a small alley.

Seeing the big man running away and saying harsh words before leaving, Xiao Yueming didn't take it seriously and was about to leave.

When the woman saw that the big man was beaten away and her child was saved, she took her child and knelt beside Xiao Yueming together: "Thank you, Master, thank you, Master."

"No need to thank me, just take care of yourself." After Xiao Yueming said that, he continued walking towards the depths of the western suburbs.

As we went deeper, the streets narrowed and were finally covered by woods. After a while, two tombs appeared in front of us.

The two tombs were clean, and they were obviously cleaned frequently. Xiao Yueming looked at his parents' tombstones, and kowtowed deeply three times. After half a ring, Xiao Yueming stood up, patted the dust on his knees, took a deep breath, and waited.
