The next morning, Su Xin woke up early and saw Xiner sleeping soundly beside her, so he quietly covered her with a quilt.
When he opened the rice vat and saw that there were only a dozen grains of rice inside, Su Xin's heart couldn't help but twitch in pain.
Staggering out of the door, Su Xin planned to find something to make a sword.
After getting Jing Wuming's quick sword, he first had to own a sword.
Opening the door, the muddy streets filled with sewage, low and dilapidated houses and numb pedestrians all showed that this was a slum area.
A place that is so poor that even beggars are unwilling to come, has a good name, Changlefang.
Of course, Changlefang was not like this in the past.
Changning Mansion was formerly the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with a total of forty-nine cities and towns. Even Changlefang, which is near the edge, is a prosperous place.
However, since thirty years ago, Emperor Longwu, who was a man of martial virtue and great achievements, came out of nowhere, turning the Zhou Kingdom from a small southern barbarian country into its current territory of thousands of miles, and defeating the great Zhou Dynasty, which was the original overlord of the Jin Kingdom.
Changning Mansion then declined.
After Emperor Longwu moved the capital, he didn't know if the former small capital was an eyesore. Fortunately, he demolished the imperial city and moved 90% of the wealthy merchants and officials in the city to the new capital, Shengjing. Changning Mansion gradually began to decline.
Su Xin found a piece of iron in the corner that was as long as an arm and as wide as three fingers. It was covered with rust. It was used to block the chicken coop. Unfortunately, Su Xin's chickens had no more chickens since his mother's death.
Raised.
Find two pieces of wood, sandwich them between the iron pieces, and wrap them with hemp rope. This is the handle of the sword.
Then Su Xin found another whetstone and began to carefully grind off the rust on the iron piece and sharpen it.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Xin'er walked out sleepily, rubbing her eyes, pouting and asking: "Brother, what are you doing?"
A gentle smile appeared on the corner of Su Xin's mouth, and he said softly: "Xin'er, be good, my brother will take you to eat something delicious soon."
In this life, Su Xin has a good appearance. He is a handsome young man of sixteen or seventeen. Although he is not very handsome, he looks good when he smiles.
"Well, Xin'er will be good." Su Xin'er nodded firmly and swallowed quietly.
In the past, her brother would always take her to eat the offal noodles made by Grandma Wang in Jiekou, but during this time, her brother had not taken her there for a long time.
"Huh? Su Xin, you're not dead yet? You're lucky enough."
Two people wearing clean short-sleeved samurai uniforms with a flying eagle embroidered on their chests swayed over, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
Su Xin looked at the two of them coldly. He was no stranger to these two people. It should be said that three days ago, they were brothers fighting side by side!
The Flying Eagle Gang is one of the three gangs and four guilds in Chang Ning Mansion. In addition to the gang leader, there are also three hall leaders.
Under the three hall masters, there are more than ten big bosses and more than fifty small bosses.
The last time we fought against the Qingzhu Gang, the big boss had given an order. Whoever killed the most people this time would be the small boss and could manage a street.
Although Su Xin was young, he had some brute strength in his hands. He was not afraid of death due to his ruthless attacks, and he killed three members of the Qingzhu Gang and suppressed the opponent in one fell swoop.
But he didn't expect that in the end, Liu Sandao, whom he regarded as his elder brother, suddenly evacuated with several people fighting alongside him, leaving him alone in the siege of the Qingzhu Gang and was beaten to death.
"Liu Sandao has become the little boss now? Doesn't he dislike burning his butt because he betrayed his brother?" If Su Xin had not been betrayed, with his military exploits, he would be the one to become the little boss.
.
One of them shrugged and said, "Su Xin, you are so popular. You killed the most people in that battle. If you hadn't died, the third brother wouldn't have been able to be the little boss."
"Haha." Su Xin suddenly chuckled. For some reason, the two of them felt chills all over their bodies when they heard Su Xin's laughter.
"I have followed Liu Sandao since I joined the Flying Eagle Gang. Over the years, I have always treated him as my elder brother! Even if I have the most military exploits in the end, I am still ready to give up the position of this little boss to him.
his!"
"Haha, if you know people but don't know their hearts, only dead people are the safest."
Another man pulled out the dagger from his waist and said viciously: "What nonsense are you talking to, Fourth Brother? Just kill this kid while he is seriously injured!"
While he is still alive, he has always had a bad reputation for his third brother, and his sister, although she is a bit young, can be sold to Yangzhou Mansion as a emaciated horse for a few taels of silver!"
Seeing him showing off his knife, the passers-by in Changlefang were not surprised at all. Instead, they stopped and watched with interest.
The world is so cruel, especially for people like them who come from slums.
Every day there are gang members fighting or even fighting. It's not a big deal if one or two people die. It's just a cheap life, and the government doesn't bother to care.
Su Xin stood up unsteadily, his body still a little weak.
"Xin'er, close your eyes."
Su Xiner looked at Su Xin worriedly. She knew what her brother was doing, but she still closed her eyes obediently because she believed in her brother.
The man sneered disdainfully: "What, you still want to take action? With the way you are now, you still think that you are the Su Xin who used to fight three strong men alone and not fall behind? You don't even have weapons, what are you going to do?
Fight with me? Just rely on the piece of iron in your hand?"
"It's not an iron piece, it's a sword." Su Xin's tone was extremely indifferent, as if he was reporting a fact.
"It can be considered a sword? Hahaha! Don't be ridiculous!"
"The only thing that can kill is a sword!"
Su Xin's left hand suddenly moved, and with a thrust of his sword, the ridiculous piece of iron had already been inserted into the man's throat.
Jing Wuming's sword is a killing sword! There are no fancy swordsmanship, only the simplest killing techniques.
His sword is not a martial art, it is just a simple killing technique!
Su Xin slowly pulled out the sword from the man's throat. The rusty iron piece was stained with blood and became extremely charming.
Now everyone believes that Su Xin is indeed holding a sword, a sword that can kill people!
A trace of blood-red flashed in Su Xin's eyes. For some reason, it was his first time to kill someone without any hesitation. Seeing the splattered blood, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
Perhaps because of the fusion of memories from two lives, although Su Xin is a young man in this life, he has already had a life on his hands.
"Killing people seems very simple." Su Xin shook the blood beads on his sword, as if he died very easily in his previous life.
The fourth child next to him was almost going crazy with fear.
He has known Su Xin for several years and knows that he is good at fighting, but he has never seen such terrifying swordsmanship!
Su Xin just raised his hand, and the sword was already inserted into the person's throat. It was simple, direct, and terrifying!
The fourth child didn't hesitate and immediately turned around and ran away, but suddenly he felt a chill on the top of his head. A strand of his hair had been cut off by Su Xin at some unknown time!
"If you run away again, I will kill you."
The fourth child turned around and immediately knelt down in front of Su Xin. While kowtowing, he said in horror: "What happened last time really has nothing to do with me. It was all Liu Sandao's decision! Considering our friendship over the years, you just
forgive me!"
"stand up!"
The fourth child was so frightened that he got up quickly, not even daring to breathe.
"Give me all the money you have."
The fourth child quickly took out all the scraps of money he had on his body and handed them into Su Xin's hands.
"Carry him back to Liu Sandao and tell him that I, Su Xin, will go to him personally to get what he owes me."
There was no expression on Su Xin's face, neither viciousness nor anger, but just like this, it made the fourth child feel cold from the bottom of his heart.
The fourth child dragged and carried the body away and quickly disappeared into the alley.
Other pedestrians in Changlefang hurriedly got out of the way.
They had seen murder before, but seeing someone like Su Xin kill so cleanly and neatly made them tremble with fear.
"Xin'er, open your eyes."
Su Xin rubbed Xin'er's head and said, "Let's go, wash your face, brother will take you to eat beef brisket noodles."
Su Xiner's face suddenly showed a happy smile. For her, as long as her brother is here and there is food, she is very satisfied.
Grandma Wang of Jiekou has had a stall here for decades, and Su Xin has taken Su Xin'er to eat noodles here since she was a child.
Grandma Wang only sells three kinds of noodles, plain noodles, offal noodles and beef brisket noodles.
In the past, Su Xin only occasionally took Xin'er to eat a bowl of offal noodles to satisfy his craving. Only during holidays would he order beef brisket noodles. Only one portion was left for Xin'er to eat.
"Grandma, please have two bowls of beef brisket noodles."
Grandma Wang served them two bowls of red beef brisket noodles, and specially gave Xiner's bowl a few extra pieces of beef brisket.
"Good girl, eat slowly." Grandma Wang spoke with a Xiangchuan accent. Seeing Xin'er eating the beef brisket noodles with big mouthfuls, a smile almost appeared on her wrinkled face.
"Well, thank you, Grandma Wang." Xin'er couldn't wait to eat the noodles and thanked Grandma Wang vaguely.
Su Xin gave Xin'er the beef brisket in his bowl and ate the noodles with big mouthfuls.
As the food was eaten, Su Xin felt that his physical strength had recovered a little, and most of his physical strength after three days of starvation had been restored.
Although Su Xin had a small amount of internal strength due to practicing the Quanzhen Sect's primary internal skills, this small amount of internal strength was not enough to fully restore his physical strength.
After eating a bowl of noodles, Su Xin saw Xin'er who was still devouring her food. He gently rubbed her head and said to Grandma Wang, "Grandma, I have something to do. Can you help me take care of Xin'er first?"
?”
Grandma Wang waved her hands and sighed: "Young man, the world is dangerous. Don't forget that you have a sister like Xiaonannan."
Su Xin smiled at Grandma Wang. The world is so dangerous, how can he be more evil than the human heart?
"Xin'er is good, stay at Grandma Wang's place and eat noodles. Brother will be back in the evening."
Su Xiner puffed out her cheeks and nodded obediently.
