"Do you think your life is worth five hundred gold coins?" Xiaobai got close to the leader's face, showed a pair of strong white teeth, and said with a sinister smile.
"..." The big man at the head looked pale, his legs were trembling, and his lips were trembling for a long time without saying anything.
"Speak." Xiao Bai pressed the ax down, and the cold ax blade was already pressed against the forehead of the leader. A trace of bright red blood flowed down his forehead. Xiao Bai continued, "Do you still want more money?"
"No... don't, spare your life..." The big man at the head gave in. He regretted that he shouldn't have rushed forward just for the sake of face. This time, his life was about to end.
Xiaobai's strength relaxed, he took back the ax, patted the leader of the big man on the face and said: "This is great, it would have saved a lot of trouble if it had been done earlier."
"Yes, yes, yes..." The leading man nodded and bowed with a smile on his face.
"Now...get out of here!" Xiaobai shouted fiercely.
The leader, the big man, and a group of younger brothers rushed out of the hotel without even daring to say a harsh word. They finally saw that Xiaobai was a murderer, and they couldn't afford to offend such a person.
The diners and the old man were both dumbfounded that the matter could be settled so easily. They stared at Xiaobai blankly, their minds in a mess.
Ziera held her clothes with her little hands, walked up to Xiao Bai nervously, bowed, and said softly: "Thank you, thank you very much."
Xiaobai first looked at the old man in the hotel with a deep look, put away the ax, squatted down with a smile on his face, touched Ziera's head and said: "It's okay, go get me some food and drink."
"Okay, okay, please wait a moment." Zierra nodded obediently, turned around and ran towards the back.
"Ahem." The old man in the hotel coughed twice and said to the diners around him: "Everyone should eat and drink. Today's money is all on me."
The atmosphere in the hotel lobby instantly became lively with the words of the hotel old man, and the diners were shouting thanks and cheering.
Xiaobai looked at the cheering diners, shrugged, and sat back on his table as if nothing happened. The old man from the hotel also returned behind the table.
Soon, Zyra came over with an oversized plate, carefully placed the food and wine in front of Xiao Bai, picked up a gold coin, and put it down silently.
"Eh? What does this mean?" Xiaobai asked Ziera while looking at the gold coins.
"Grandpa asked me to give this to you..." Zierra held the tray in her arms and said softly.
Xiaobai turned his head and looked in the direction of the old man in the hotel. The old man in the hotel raised a glass of wine and gestured to him from a distance.
Xiaobai nodded, picked up the wine on the table, made a gesture, and put away the gold coins.
The food on the table is very rich. It is no longer a lump of black stuff, but contains meat and vegetables. Although it is not very beautifully cooked, it is still much better than a lump of unknown food.
Xiaobai picked up a piece of food similar to a chicken leg and handed it to Ziera: "Here you can eat."
"No, no, no, no need, this is yours." Ziera waved her little hands wildly, with a look of fear on her face.
"There's still a lot to eat, so you can eat as long as you are told." As Xiaobai spoke, he handed the chicken legs to Zira again.
Ziela glanced at the old man in the hotel, and when she saw him nodding slightly, she stretched out her hands to take the chicken legs, and respectfully thanked Xiaobai.
The people who live in Feijiao Alley are poor. Meat and vegetables are rarely available. What they eat most often is the kind of mud made of who knows what. It definitely tastes bad and can fill up the stomach.
Just fine.
Zyra's status is even lower. She hasn't eaten meat for a long time. Although she was frightened just now, her nose is now filled with the smell of meat, and her saliva keeps pouring out. She purses her lips hard and swallows the saliva.
Seeing her look, Xiaobai couldn't help but laugh. He pointed to the seat next to him and said to her: "Sit down and eat."
"Ah?" Jiela jumped. She was not qualified to sit down. Even if Xiaobai said so, she did not dare to sit down casually. She looked at the old man at the hotel uneasily.
The old man of the hotel nodded to her again and ordered the other girls to take over Ziera's work and deliver food and drinks to the guests, because today was his treat, and these poor people were not polite at all and ate openly.
Fortunately, they didn't go too far. What they wanted was low-quality black sour fruit wine and the simplest food. Otherwise, the old man would really be bleeding profusely today.
Ziela sat down at Xiaobai's table. She carefully put the chicken leg in her mouth and took a small bite. She chewed it carefully. The aroma of the meat exploded in her mouth. Ziela's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Looking happy.
Xiaobai looked at Ziera, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then started to eat.
Zyra eats very slowly and carefully. She will taste every bite of meat carefully, even the bones. She will bite the bones into pieces and chew them into dregs. She will not spit them out until there is no taste left.
Compared to Ziera, Xiaobai let go and ate very happily, only eating meat and not chewing the bones at all.
Throwing the last bone aside, Xiaobai straightened up and exhaled a long breath. He felt really comfortable eating. He had been wandering in the desert for a long time and had never had a decent meal. Now he was alive.
.
The old man of the hotel came out from behind the table, came to Xiao Bai's table and sat down, patted Ziera on the head and asked her to serve the guests, and then looked at Xiao Bai with a flattering smile.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiaobai asked the old man while drinking fruit wine.
"Looking at your skills, you are not an ordinary person." The old man paused and said, "Why did you come to Feijiao Alley?"
"You are called a hero, why are you in Feijiao Alley?" Xiaobai leaned out and approached the old man and asked.
"Hero, haha, I'm not a hero, I'm just an old guy who's about to die." The old man said mockingly, but the smile on his face did not change, as if he was wearing a mask.
"I don't want to ask about that child, and I don't want to ask about your experience. It has nothing to do with me." Xiaobai stepped back, picked up the glass and continued drinking.
The old man was stunned and looked at Xiaobai with some surprise. He wanted to ask, why didn't you play according to the routine?
Isn't it time to tell each other stories? I'll tell you my experience and Zyra's story. You tell your story. Everyone will make it up, and then you will help me with a righteous heart.
Stand up for Zyra.
How did it become like this?
The old man suddenly doubted his life. My whole life might be fake.
"Hehehe..." Seeing the old man's smile gradually turning awkward, Xiaobai couldn't help laughing and said: "I took action this time not because I had any kind intentions, but because that guy recognized you as a hero.
He has a good name, but he doesn’t take his name seriously, that’s all.”
"Is this... so simple?" the old man asked with some disbelief. (To be continued)
