scum

The shopkeeper is an old man with dimples on his forehead, gray hair, cloudy eyes, and a few patches on his clothes. It seems that the business is really not easy to do.

"Okay, but there is only half a roast goose, two plates of stewed mutton, and homemade rice wine, which is easy to drink." The old man greeted him with a smile.

"Grandpa, are there any guests here?"

At this time, a little girl rubbed her eyes with one hand, and came out of the inner room in a daze. A few strands of cold wind leaked into the room, blowing her face red, very cute.

But Mrs. Ye noticed that her empty sleeve was a one-armed little girl, and something unfortunate might have happened to her.

"Wanwan, you go to bed first, I'll heat up some food for this little brother."

The old man hunched over, patted the little girl's head kindly, and walked towards the back kitchen.

But the little girl did not leave, but looked up and down at Mrs. Ye with her big smart eyes, her empty sleeves fluttering in the wind.

Mrs. Ye smiled at her thoughtfully.

The little girl pinched the corner of her clothes with one hand, she seemed a little vigilant, but when she saw the sword stuck in Ye Tai's bag, she couldn't help but took half a step back, and her face turned pale.

Mrs. Ye is a little puzzled. In this world where a person can be called a "chivalrous man" with a sword, is there still a shortage of knights?

He couldn't allow him to think too much, the food was served, still steaming hot.

Mrs. Ye didn't say anything else, picked up half of the roast goose and swallowed it into her mouth. She ate like a storm, as if frightening the little girl again. She took another half step back, but couldn't help swallowing.

"Don't worry, there is rice wine here, swallow it slowly, don't choke, the rice wine is a gift."

The old man kindly served a bowl of hot rice wine.

"Thank you, old man, it is indeed your cooking skills that are great."

Ye Tai complimented nonchalantly, anyway, what he eats now has no taste, and eating, to be honest, is a bit of a waste of time for him, but his hungry stomach urges him to swallow something quickly.

After finishing all the food on the table in a flustered manner, Mrs. Ye wiped the corners of her mouth, feeling a little unsatisfied.

The old man noticed something, and he was a little confused: "There are no more meat dishes. If my brother is not full, there are still two steamed buns and pickles."

Ye Tai smiled awkwardly and said, "No need, old man, I might have to stay overnight with you tonight."

As he spoke, he fumbled into his arms, but he was embarrassed to find that he was lavish and spent all the money on his body.

The old man has experienced many vicissitudes, and saw his embarrassment, and said: "Little brother, do you have no money?"

"This... is indeed not broken silver."

"Ah, here comes the villain again!"

The one-armed girl bit her lip for a moment, and said with tears in her eyes: "I'm not mistaken, there is no good person with a sword. You took Daddy away and made me crippled. Ah Ting and the others dare not play with me anymore." , and come here every now and then to eat free food."

As she said that, she turned her head again, looked at the bones on the table, and said: "Besides, and you clearly said, Grandpa, that you want to leave me a piece of goose meat, you guys, you are too bad! Woo~~~"

"Wanwan don't cry, grandpa left you two slices of mutton. I don't think this little brother is like those people. Maybe it's just a temporary difficulty... Sigh." In my arms, I have been comforting.

"I think you have misunderstood, old man. I don't mean to be free, but I really don't have any broken silver on me, but I can get something to pay for it."

Tai Ye frowned slightly, and slapped the scabbard inlaid with gemstones on the table.

"Put the sword on the table again and ask if we dare to take it away? Why can you bad guys eat meat every day, but we can't even fill our stomachs, woo..."

Xiaomaru's eyes were full of tears, and her body trembled slightly, as if remembering something terrible.

"Xiao Maru, good boy, your father is indeed a hero, but, it's just..."

At this point, the old man couldn't go on, he could only sigh again and again, stroking Xiaowanwan's head.

"There are no heroes at all, only demons! They are all devils, why do they treat us like this, we don't have enough to eat every day, and they often come to eat and drink for free, Wanwan and grandpa can only pick up what they left..." Xiao Maru Wan was crying, obviously mistaking Ye Tai for someone.

Even Mrs. Ye, who was indifferent, frowned at the moment, took off the gemstone from the scabbard, threw it to the old man, and said, "Although I don't know what you are talking about, but this is the meal money."

(ps, Ann, the next chapter of this magically changed plot will start, and the follow-up will be completely different from a certain article by Dongda University. Please read the book with peace of mind? (?????ω?????)?.)

12. The real rivers and lakes

"This……"

At this time, the old man can tell that Mrs. Ye is not someone who wants to eat for free.

"It's too precious, little brother, since you're not them, just settle the money when you pass by next time, who hasn't had a hard time." The old man reasoned, and handed the gem to Mrs. Ye return.

"It's okay, these belongings are nothing to me." Mrs. Ye shook her head.

But the old man insisted on returning the gem, Mrs. Ye could only accept it, and said: "Then I'll go to the pawn shop tomorrow to exchange some money, and then settle the bill."

At this time, the girl called Xiaowanwan also turned her head from the old man's arms, her eyes were still dim with tears, but she was not as afraid as before.

She timidly said: "You, are you really not those people?"

Mrs. Ye touched her head and said with a smile, "Probably not, why did you say that there are no heroes, only demons?"

Xiaowanwan wiped her eyes with one arm, and said: "Because heroes can only kill people, and they also made Wanwan crippled, Tingting avoids me now when she sees me."

Mrs. Ye turned her head to look at the old man who was frowning deeply, and asked, "Old man, can you tell me what happened?"

The old man hugged Wanwan, sat down with a sigh, and explained the whole story.

It turns out that the old man's surname is Xu, and he has a son named Xu Ying, who is a disciple of the Huwei Gang, a small sect in Jingzhou City. It's the real deal.

These days, who wouldn't want to take on a three-foot iron sword and turn the rivers and lakes that they think are magnificent and full of pride upside down?

Although every chivalrous man had this kind of ambition, most of them just lived peacefully in this cannibalistic rivers and lakes, without any disturbances.

Take this Huwei gang as an example, it is not a decent family, and naturally there are no pilgrims.

The sect wants to run, what should I do?

In addition to charging a high membership fee in order to get a copy of the basic cheats, the disciples of the sect are also responsible for doing the "private work" that those gangs take over, such as helping people walk escorts today, and doing security for them tomorrow. My gang has made an appointment with others, and is in urgent need of thugs, what should I do?

A few taels of silver per person.

Yes, this is the bottom of the rivers and lakes, and it is also the main tone of the rivers and lakes.

There is no way, heroes have to eat, you can't let go of the sword in your hand, you can't afford the hoe and pole at home, and you don't have peerless martial arts. If you don't tie your head to the belt of your trousers, how can you support your family?

Didn't you see that every year in the pawn shop, a lot of "peerless swords" would be collected at a low price, and then put in the corner to make dust, and there weren't many heroes who had vowed to come back to redeem it?

Moreover, the government also turned a blind eye to this kind of gang dispute. If they really wanted to manage it, how could they manage it?

Which decent disciple of a famous family didn't have a few lives on his hands?
