A dilapidated courtyard, with piles of weeds, ruined walls, and dense spider webs, looked a bit desolate in the sunlight.
This was Bai Yang's first feeling when he came to Hong Yi's place.
"Brother Lei, this is it..."
Standing in the courtyard that had been abandoned for who knows how long, Hong Yi lowered his head slightly and said with some embarrassment.
"This is already very good. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Look, when it rains, at least there are tiles to block the rain. When the weather is good, you can see the stars when you look up at night. Other places are not so good.
The conditions make me want to live here.”
Bai Yang looked around and smiled.
Even so, Bai Yang still felt inexplicably sad in his heart.
This place is located in the south of Aoki County, and is surrounded by poor people. Along the way, the narrow roads are full of potholes, and there are stinking garbage everywhere. However, in such an environment, more than a dozen children hugged each other for warmth and lived tenaciously.
.
"Is it really that good?"
The little bean-sized Hong Liuliu looked up at Bai Yang and asked happily.
"Of course, it would be perfect if we clear away the weeds and clean up the cobwebs."
Bai Yang touched her head and said that such a child should be instilled with a positive side to prevent her from growing crooked.
Hong Shiliu is a little girl, only two yuan old. The algorithm on the other side of the earth is only six years old.
"We also clean, but we are too weak to pull out some grass, and we don't have the tools..."
Hong Yi said with a slight blush on his dirty little face.
Bai Yang understood that they didn't have the energy to clean here. They probably had no time to clean every day to make a living. For such a young child, it was good to be alive, so they couldn't care about anything else.
"Okay, you guys find a place to hide the money. Remember not to hide it in one place, but to hide it well. If you lose one place, there will be others."
Bai Yang smiled, put down his money bag and changed the subject.
The money that was coming was originally given to them, and he didn't want any of it.
"Brother Lei, are you leaving?"
Hong Dun looked at Bai Yang nervously and asked, "Even though they are young, they are very smart."
"I still have things to do, don't worry, I will come to see you when I have time."
Bai Yang touched his head and said.
God knows where Shan Qiulin took Hua Sanniang and the others. They made such a big noise before but they didn't show up. They had to find a way to find them.
"Then...brother Lei, can you stay a little longer?"
Hong Yi looked at Bai Yang pitifully and almost begged.
Children of this age have the most sensitive minds. They know who is good to them and who is bad to them. They feel that Bai Yang is going to leave. Even though they have not been together for long, they are very reluctant to leave.
"Okay, then I will stay with you for a while and hide the money first."
Bai Yang smiled and did not refuse this small request.
"Well, Brother Lei, we won't spend this money randomly, we will hide it. If you need money, you can come to us at any time."
Hong Yi said very sensibly. Without waiting for Bai Yang's answer, he turned around and went to hide the money with other children.
The little guys were quite sensible. Bai Yang smiled silently and didn't care.
I turned around and found a thicker patch of grass, turned over and lay down, staring blankly at the sky with my eyes closed, listening to the sound of more than a dozen children jumping up and down around me, and enjoying this rare tranquility...
"Brother Lei, please eat something. We used the money to buy some meat pies and wine. I don't know if you like it or not. We didn't spend money randomly..."
After more than ten minutes, a group of children who had hidden money gathered around.
Looking at the things in their hands, Bai Yang felt a sore nose. These children were really sensible and knew how to repay their kindness. They let him stay because they wanted to buy him food to repay him.
The so-called meat pie is actually a kind of meat wrapped in rice flour here. It doesn't look good, but it has a unique fragrance. After all, it is natural. The wine is not a good wine either.
The liquid is turbid and light yellow/colored, and it is probably mixed with water...
Even so, Bai Yang is still very pleased, I am afraid these things are the best food they can think of.
"Okay, you guys should eat too. Only when you're full will you have the strength to grow taller."
Bai Yang was not pretentious and polite. He ate the chewy meat pie and drank the light and slightly off-flavored wine. Although the food was not good, the children's thoughts were put into it. It was also delicious in the mouth.
.
Seeing Bai Yang, they didn't dislike it. A group of children showed happy smiles, sat in a circle around Bai Yang, and ate the meat cakes in their hands.
While eating, a group of children became quiet and looked at the half-collapsed courtyard door and Bai Yang, looking a little uneasy.
"You eat, don't worry about it, I'll take care of it"
Bai Yang looked at several young people in gorgeous clothes standing at the door, knocked Hong Yi on the head and said.
"oh"
Hong Yi lowered his head and ate obediently.
Unable to eat anything, Bai Yang was speechless. His eyes signaled the children to wait. He stood up and walked towards the door with the wine jar in hand.
"My friend, Xue Mo of Aoki Academy, I apologize for disturbing you."
At the door, there were several young men in white, and one person in front of them raised their hands as Bai Yang walked past.
"Huh? It's Qinghe. Why is she here together?"
Looking through these young men and seeing Qing He who was still covered in white clothes and gauze behind him, Bai Yang immediately slowed down his movements.
"Mr. Bai, it's really you, how could you end up in such a situation...?"
Qinghe at the back of the crowd saw Bai Yang, his eyes were stunned, and he couldn't help but ask, his voice was as nice as ever.
"Hi, it's Miss Qinghe, why are you here?"
Bai Yang awkwardly waved hello to Qing He. At this time, his beggar attire was really unimpressive.
"Do you know each other?"
Xue Mo turned slightly sideways and asked Qing He in surprise.
"My heartfelt song was composed after listening to Mr. Bai's words."
Qinghe explained.
"That's it, no wonder"
Xue Mo nodded.
Others also had surprised expressions on their faces.
Bai Yang doesn't understand the situation. What do you understand by your expressions?
"Mr. Bai..."
Xue Mo looked at Bai Yang and wanted to say something, but suddenly there was a series of footsteps and noisy shouts around him.
"right here!"
Someone shouted loudly, and hundreds of people cheered and cheered quickly appeared around.
These people were wearing everything, but without exception, they all held a two-foot-long sharp knife in their hands. The knife was very special, long and narrow, and tilted at the tip to form a hook shape.
There is also a blood tank, which makes people feel inexplicably chilly.
What kind of fun is this? Bai Yang didn't understand. He frowned slightly and looked at Xue Mo and others, are you bringing people to cause trouble?
Xue Mo, who was interrupted, frowned. Looking at Bai Yang's expression, he knew that he had misunderstood, and then explained:
"They are not the people we brought"
Bai Yang nodded, looked at the group of people and asked:
"What are you doing? Did you run to the wrong place?"
"The place is right. You are the one we are looking for. One of our Little Knife Gang members. The last person we came into contact with was you. Now he is dead. Come and ask for an explanation!"
The crowd parted, and a man in black clothes walked out with a deep voice, holding two weird-shaped knives on his waist.
"Boss, look, there are a few scholars, eh? There is actually a woman, I don't know what she looks like."
Someone next to the well-dressed man said with bright eyes.
This is all a mess...
Bai Yang was speechless for a moment, looked at the handsomely dressed man and curled his lips:
"I did meet someone from the Knife Gang who wanted to collect protection money. I was knocked unconscious by him, but not killed. Please don't blackmail me."
"Forgive me that you, a beggar, don't dare to kill members of our Little Knife Gang... No, aren't you blind?"
The well-dressed man looked at Bai Yang and nodded. Halfway through his words, he realized that he was staring at Bai Yang in astonishment.
"Who told you I'm blind? Did I? By the way, what are you doing? I'm very busy."
Bai Yang shrugged and said.
"Our man is dead, but you were the last person to come into contact with him, and you personally admitted that you knocked him unconscious. Do you have to give me an explanation?"
The well-dressed man looked at Bai Yang and said solemnly.
"No, who are you talking to for a long time?"
Bai Yang refused to answer that question and asked impatiently.
"I am the leader of the Little Knife Gang! Can you answer my question now?"
The other party has already begun to grind his teeth, looking at Bai Yang is no different from looking at a dead person.
"I'm not polite. I don't even know your name when I ask you. Forget it, I'm not familiar with you anyway. I don't know how your people died. You're not a good person. I'm afraid you have a lot of enemies. Maybe...
Someone hacked him to death, it’s none of my business, just go away on your own, I won’t entertain you.”
Bai Yang pouted and said, "It doesn't matter who you are or who you love."
"you……"
The gang leader hadn't spoken yet, but the hot-tempered people around him were unhappy. Seeing Bai Yang's angry face, the knife was even shown.
"roll!"
A cold snort rang out, but the word did not come from Bai Yang's mouth, but from Xue Mo, who was frowning and looking at the people around him with a look of disgust on his face.
Damn it, this is so messy, Bai Yang is speechless...
call……
A figure rushed out from the crowd, and slashed Xue Mo's neck with a cold knife in his hand, very quickly and with murderous intent.
Killing people at the slightest disagreement, it's okay to make some remarks first to set the stage. This is a bit too willful, Bai Yang glared slightly.
Xue Mo remained unmoved in the face of the man who came towards him coldly with a knife.
Whoa, an old man in gray clothes appeared out of nowhere and appeared next to Xue Mo in an instant. He slapped a light palm and stamped it on the man's chest. The man's body froze, flew out like a torn sack, and dropped with a bang.
Twenty meters away, a loud sound was coming from his mouth, his eyes were bulging, and blood was spitting out of his mouth along with the fragments of internal organs. It looked like he would not survive...
"Master, are you okay?"
After the old man slapped the opponent away, he bent down and looked at Xue Mowen.
Come on, where did this meow come from? What a ghost, why does something happen to me wherever I go? Is the god of mold possessed recently?
