Lu Baoyou glanced at the broken bowl and the few old banknotes tightly clutched in her hand, and fell into silence.
He took out a twenty-yuan note from his pocket, stuffed it into the little beggar's hand, and said calmly: "I'm going to sleep here for three nights."
The little beggar was stunned.
She looked at the banknotes in her hand, and then at Lu Baoyou, who continued to close his eyes and meditate. After hesitating for a long time, she stuffed the money into her arms, walked to the wall opposite Lu Baoyou and sat down alone.
"okay."
She put the broken bowl aside, piled the collected firewood and weeds together, and lit a bonfire with candles, briefly dispelling the cold winter night.
Then she took out a pile of tattered blankets from the hole in the back and wrapped it around her body. In the freezing cold wind, she only showed a red face outside, and a pair of eyes curiously looked at Lu Baoyou opposite.
Lu Baoyou closed her eyes again.
"Aren't you a beggar?" After a long time, the little beggar couldn't help but ask.
"No." Lu Baoyou replied calmly.
"It doesn't seem like it to me. Your clothes are very clean... Then did you run away from home?"
"no."
"Then you were abducted by human traffickers?"
"no."
"...Then why are you here?" The little beggar asked in confusion, "You have money, why don't you stay in a hotel?"
The little beggar was a little dissatisfied with the fact that his nest was occupied by others.
Lu Baoyou didn't answer. He put his right hand in his pocket and silently rubbed the only ten-yuan note and two coins left on him, feeling a little helpless...
He didn't have much money on him. On the way to Beijing, he had almost used it all, leaving only thirty-three yuan. He didn't need money in the training camp during this period, but once he left the training camp during the holidays,
Ying, these more than thirty yuan are of no use at all in Shangjing City.
Borrow money from other recruits? Eat and drink with them?
Absolutely impossible.
It’s not that Lu Baoyou has lived a hard life, such difficulties are nothing to him. Once he lives in Qiaodong, he uses the remaining money to buy some steamed buns or eat a bowl of noodles, and it only takes three days, and it’s very far from the city.
It is far away and very clean. He can continue training here and practice his sword skills.
He may have no place to live and may be exposed to the cold wind, but he cannot miss a day of training.
When the little beggar saw that Lu Baoyou was silent, he shrugged his shoulders, turned his eyes to the black box next to Lu Baoyou, and blinked curiously.
"What's in this box?"
Lu Baoyou still said nothing.
Seeing that he didn't pay any attention to her, the little beggar muttered, silently curled up into a ball, leaned against the fire, and began to sleep with his eyes closed.
The long night.
Seeing that the little beggar fell into a deep sleep, Lu Baoyou put his hands in his sleeves, stared at the bonfire for a moment, and gradually fell into sleep.
A little beggar, a one-eyed boy, just leaned against the fire and fell asleep.
I do not know how long it has been,
A strange cold wind blew by, instantly extinguishing the fire ball dancing in the bridge hole.
The strange and eerie sound of grinding teeth came from the darkness, as harsh as fingernails rubbing against a blackboard. Lu Baoyou suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the darkness beside the bridge hole, and grabbed the handle of the black box with one hand.
As if feeling the cold breath, the little beggar also opened her sleepy eyes. She raised her head and saw the outline of a beast slowly outlined in the shadow next to the bridge hole.
It was a bloody wolfdog with seven eyes. Its body was almost taller than the little beggar's body. Its bloody hair was fluttering in the wind. A low whimper came from its throat. Its seven eyes opened and closed in a staggered manner.
It's chilling.
The little beggar exclaimed and suddenly tried to get up from the ground, but his legs weakened and he collapsed on the ground.
"Hey! Let's go!" The little beggar moved his body backward and shouted to Lu Baoyou, who was still leaning against the wall.
Lu Baoyou narrowed his eyes slightly and did not answer. He just stood up from the ground with the black box in hand, pressed his fingertips on the handle, and a straight knife popped out of the box.
Lu Baoyou held it firmly in his hand.
The one-eyed boy held the knife, stepped through the fire ball with only embers left, and walked between the little beggar and the seven-eyed wolf dog. A crimson light ignited from his eyes.
"A mere 'mystery' in the 'pool' realm..."
Lu Baoyou murmured to himself and was about to take action when he suddenly remembered Lin Qiye's instructions when he left the training camp and his eyes fell on the frightened little beggar behind him.
"Hey." Lu Baoyou said calmly, "Close your eyes."
"ah?"
"Close your eyes."
"oh……"
Lu Baoyou's figure blocked the little beggar's view of the wolf dog. She slumped on the ground, looked away from Lu Baoyou, and closed her eyes obediently.
Seeing this, Lu Baoyou turned his head, raised the knife and walked towards the seven-eyed wolf dog, with a sneer on his lips.
"A good training opponent..."
…
On top of a tall building.
Chen Han stared at the city below. The shadows were expanding quietly.
After hesitating for a moment, he was about to step out when Shao Pingge's voice sounded: "Don't worry, those who are in front now are just small fish, those young people can handle them.
The real big guys are still hiding in the dark and observing, they are your targets."
Chen Han slowly retracted his right foot.
At this moment, a wisp of night bloomed from the void behind the two of them, and a figure in a crimson cloak walked slowly towards them, carrying a black box on his back.
"Huh?" Shao Pingge raised his eyebrows, looked back, saw the familiar face, and smiled, "You're here too?"
"I'm a little bored after dinner, so I came out to join in the fun."
Lin Qiye smiled slightly, "Besides, I am really curious about the identity of the new captain of the Shangjing City team."
His eyes fell on Chen Han, who was wearing a military coat, and he was slightly startled.
When Chen Han saw Lin Qiye, he was also stunned.
The two looked at each other for a long time before Lin Qiye said in surprise:
"Chen Han?"
"It's me." Chen Han smiled helplessly, "Is it an accident?"
Lin Qiye looked at him carefully for a long time, nodded and said: "It is indeed a bit surprising, and the aura on your body..."
Ever since Lin Qiye saw Chen Han for the first time, he noticed that Chen Han's aura had undergone earth-shaking changes. The temperament exuding from his body reminded Lin Qiye of another person...
In other words, another god.
"Li...Emperor Fengdu?" Lin Qiye said in surprise, "You became his agent? What's going on?"
"Two years ago, when Anta County returned from the fog, I met Uncle Li." Chen Han's eyes flashed with memories, "I was already on the verge of death from a high fever, and he used his strength to repair me.
My body told me everything again...
After that, I could feel that there was something more in my body."
"Later I found out that it was Uncle Li's shrine."
