It was too late and then it was too late. As soon as Zhou Xingyun finished speaking, he saw an old man carrying a basket full of loquats and preparing to go to the street to sell them. However, the old man's waist was not good. He did not walk a few steps while carrying the heavy object.
He looked in pain and had to put down the basket and rest.
"Old man, are you okay?" Zhou Xingyun hurriedly stepped forward and used his acupuncture points to help the old man treat his back pain.
This was the first and only time that Zhou Xingyun used his self-created acupuncture technique on the right path.
You know, in the past, Zhou Xingyun used his acupuncture skills to bully beauties, and treated Xu Zhiqian, Mu Ya, Sister Ning, Xu Luose and other beauties to pieces...
"Thank you, young hero. I'm much better." The old man looked at Zhou Xingyun, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and couldn't help but smile and nod, secretly praising the young man for being very honest.
"Where are you going, old man? Let me help you choose." Zhou Xingyun took the initiative to help the old man carry the basket. His honest and honest appearance fooled even Wei Suyao's master, who was just an old man from Shiyuan City, so it was no problem.
Xu Zhiqian witnessed Zhou Xingyun's simple style from a distance and even doubted whether her eyes were hallucinating.
Tang Yuanying looked at Xu Zhiqian with a surprised expression and couldn't help but say something for Zhou Xingyun: "Third Junior Brother has always been very willing to help others."
Tang Yuanying recalled in detail that although Zhou Xingyun was once described as an idle wanderer by the residents of Phuket City, the poor family begging for food in the slums of Phuket City treated Zhou Xingyun quite well.
Zhou Xingyun is very kind-hearted. When he sees poor people begging for food, he will more or less give some food to them. Sometimes he even asks Yang Lin for money to buy dry biscuits and distributes them to the beggars in the slums.
However, Tang Yuanying used to hate Zhou Xingyun extremely, so she thought he was stupid and stupid for doing this. Now looking back... she couldn't help but find that Zhou Xingyun was really kind.
"When he gets along with us, he is indeed a bit...but when he encounters important problems, his decisions are more upright than anyone else." Zheng Chengxue talks about things, while Zhou Xingyun has a naughty personality and old and unruly habits, but he has to look at everything.
result.
Although Zhou Xingyun is very unreliable in daily life, at critical moments and when everyone is in danger, he will always step forward without hesitation. Compared with those hypocrites who say one thing and do another, and give in at the moment of life and death, he is many times better.
.
Because of this, they like to be around Zhou Xingyun, he is very genuine and not hypocritical.
"Ah, people didn't say that Senior Brother Xingyun is not kind. After all, kindness and lust are not in conflict." Xu Zhiqian felt very surprised because Zhou Xingyun pretended to be an honest person and acted too much like him. It had nothing to do with his helpful character.
.
To put it bluntly, Xu Zhiqian compared the Zhou Xingyun in front of her with the Zhou Xingyun when she was alone with her. The former was honest and honest, while the latter was cunning. The contrast between the two was so great that she was doubly shocked.
"Stop chatting, everyone is leaving." Rao Yue faintly warned everyone. Zhou Xingyun carried the basket and headed to the vegetable market. If he didn't catch up, he would be with the bastard in no time.
Zhou Xingyun arrived at the market carrying two baskets of loquats and helped the old man organize the stall in an orderly manner.
"Child, I have never seen you in Stone Plain City before. Are you from another city?"
"Yes, have you ever heard of the World Heroes Martial Arts Conference?"
"I've seen the notice board. It seems that the elites from the Central Plains are going to compete with the masters from the outside world in Linlan City."
"I originally went to Linlan City to participate in the trials, but unfortunately my qualifications were dull and I was not chosen by the martial arts league. Now that I don't want to return to the division, I simply came to the northern town to gain experience." Zhou Xingyun naturally chatted with the old man.
"You are a good boy. I hope you can be a blessing to people and heaven. Nowadays, the situation in northern towns is turbulent and it is not a good place to travel." The old man sighed bitterly.
"Why did the old man say that?" Before Zhou Xingyun asked about the situation in Shiyuan City, the old man actually took the initiative to chat with him about people's livelihood.
"It's hard to explain in words." The old man seemed a little scared. He couldn't help but look around to make sure there was no one around him, and then whispered to Zhou Xingyun: "A group of religious groups came to Shiyuan City. They colluded with the prefect to enslave the villagers outside the city. Now.
Everyone in Shiyuan City is insecure and dare not say a word, for fear of offending those who cannot be offended. A few months ago, the child of a family in Shiyuan City got engaged to the daughter of a family in Zhangjia Village on the outskirts of Shiyuan City.
I wanted to hold a banquet this month, but who knows...sigh."
The old man lamented. The two families were seeing a happy event coming soon. Unexpectedly, just last month, the girl from the Zhangjiacun family was enslaved by Xuanyang Cult members and rented out on the streets of Shiyuan City.
Unfortunately, the man did not know martial arts and was subdued by Xuanyang's disciples in an instant.
Afterwards, the Xuanyang Sect claimed that the man was a heretic demon, tied him up on the street, and burned him alive in public. His parents were also implicated and hung at the city gate as a warning to others.
Now there is only one old woman in her sixties left in the husband's family...
The Xuanyang Sect did not execute the old woman, not out of mercy, but to intimidate the residents of Shiyuan City. Those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish.
"..." A flash of murderous intent flashed in Zhou Xingyun's eyes. Anyone with a conscience who hears such outrageous deeds would want to immediately castrate all members of the Xuanyang Sect and then send them to the frontiers to work as coolies.
The rest of his life was spent in endless pain.
Killing the evil disciples of Xuanyang Sect is no longer enough to vent his anger.
In addition, Xuanyang Sect obviously wants to use the prefect of Shiyuan City as a scapegoat and put all the blame on the prefect of Shiyuan City, making the residents of Shiyuan City mistakenly believe that the prefect of Shiyuan City is colluding with the Xuanyang Sect.
Because of this, the officials and soldiers of Shiyuan City dared to blatantly assist Xuanyang in teaching the common people. Anyway, if something big happened, the prefect of Shiyuan City would take the blame.
If someone hadn't tipped off the news last night, Zhou Xingyun might have been deceived into thinking that all this was caused by the collusion between the prefect of Shiyuan City and the evil sect.
"Old man, can you tell me where that family lives?" Zhou Xingyun asked about the whereabouts of the old woman.
"Son, I know you are a kind-hearted person, but...if the people of the Xuanyang Sect see the heresy you helped them identify, then you will also be implicated." The old man persuaded kindly, and only then did he realize that,
I said something I shouldn't have said, which aroused sympathy from the honest young man in front of me.
"Don't worry, old man, I won't let them see it." Zhou Xingyun smiled nonchalantly, indicating that he planned to take the old woman away from Shiyuan City to prevent her from suffering any more.
"That's...ok." The old man hesitated for a while, and finally told Zhou Xingyun truthfully: "She lives in the alley next to the iron shop in the south of the city..."
The old woman lost her son and grandson, and the old man couldn't bear it. He hoped that someone with a sense of justice would help him.
"Old man, are the residents of Shiyuan City like you, catering to them because they are afraid of the Xuanyang Sect?" Zhou Xingyun casually probed.
"No...some people's hearts are already broken..." The old man shook his head and said that the Xuanyang Cult used both soft and hard tactics. From time to time, they would summon the residents of Shiyuan City and invite them to go to a brothel to have sex together, or they would ravage the villagers in the suburbs and take advantage of them.
Various means were used to make local residents blindly worship Xuanyang Religion.
In the eyes of the old man, the Xuanyang Sect is a devil, good at deceiving and manipulating people. It manipulates people's hearts and induces the people of Shiyuan City to fall.
"So, I don't want to see kind-hearted children being persecuted in Shiyuan City..."
The old man watched Zhou Xingyun silently. Perhaps it was because the residents of Shiyuan City were seduced by evil sects that they became arrogant and extravagant. They gradually lost their conscience and became slaves of desire. When he met the honest and friendly Zhou Xingyun,
Deep down in my heart, I felt a lot, and I didn't want the child in front of me to be bewitched by the Xuanyang Cult, so I confided my heart to Zhou Xingyun, hoping that he would leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
"Thank you, old man. I will pay attention." Zhou Xingyun clapped his hands and stood up. The stall had been sorted and the information was almost collected. It was time for him to leave.
"Wait a minute, get this bunch of loquats." The old man picked a bunch of fresh loquats from the basket and stuffed them into Zhou Xingyun's hand as a token of thanks for his help.
Zhou Xingyun nodded with a smile and accepted the old man's kindness unceremoniously. After all, Yuanying's favorite thing is to eat loquats...
After leaving the street market, Zhou Xingyun met the four girls of Rao Yue at the entrance of the alley.
"Can't you guys come and help me?" Zhou Xingyun complained angrily. The four beauties looked at him helping the old man to carry the heavy burden, and actually stood in a daze at the street corner. They really didn't feel sorry for him at all.
"We're afraid it will affect you." Tang Yuanying replied weakly. When they caught up with Zhou Xingyun, he had already started chatting with the old man. She was afraid of disturbing the conversation between the two, so she had to wait silently.
"Forget it this time. Next time you see me doing heavy work, remember to come and wipe my sweat." Zhou Xingyun said, handing the loquat in his hand to the innocent girl Yuan Ying: "Your favorite loquat."
"Thank you, sir." The little woman smiled sweetly, stood up quickly, and kissed the side of Zhou Xingyun's face.
I recall that in May last year, Zhou Xingyun went to the Su Mansion to attend a birthday banquet and bought a few loquats in Fujing City to please Tang Yuanying. What was the attitude of the little woman at that time? She accepted the loquats indifferently without saying a word of thanks.
Looking back now, Yuanying girl not only held her head high and offered sweet kisses as tenderly as water, but also took the initiative to peel the loquats. If she didn't want to eat them, she wanted to feed them to Zhou Xingyun first.
"Do you want more?" Tang Yuanying saw that Zhou Xingyun was not polite and ate the loquat she peeled with her own hands. She quickly peeled another one and put it in his mouth.
"It's quite sweet, you should try it too." Zhou Xingyun opened his mouth and bit the loquat, and brought it to Yuan Ying. Then it was the beauty's turn to perform. Anyway, it was early in the morning and there were no outsiders on the street. It didn't hurt for the two of them to make out.
However, just when Tang Yuanying opened her little mouth shyly, preparing to welcome the loquat that was fed to her, Sister Rao Yue snatched the food from her lips, and Jizu had to eat the fruit first: "Half for you, half for me. Hahaha...
