In the field, the boy shook his head and refused the good offer.
Seeing that the boy didn't want to eat, the girl didn't insist, so she stuffed that part of the pastry into her mouth and tasted the sweet mung bean cake happily. However, she had just finished eating halfway when a little boy suddenly ran past the crowd. The fat man snatched away most of the remaining piece of mung bean cake from her hand, stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word, and said vaguely while eating:
"It's delicious. Do you have any more?"
The girl was stunned by this unexpected scene. She blinked her eyes and looked blankly at the fat man with bulging cheeks eating in front of her. Then she looked at her hand with only mung bean residue left, and her mouth slowly became flat. His eye circles were red, and he was about to start crying on the spot. But when he saw the girl crying, the little fat man was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and showed an apology on his face. After all, he just reacted subconsciously after seeing the food, and he didn't think about it. This girl makes her cry.
"Hey, don't cry. I'm sorry. It's not my fault."
Before the little fat man finished his apology, the boy behind him who was wearing rags and had a scar on his face, who had been queuing up quietly, suddenly turned around, his dark eyes flashed with a hint of beastly coldness, full of emotion. A short knife filled with cold light slipped out of the greasy cuff. It was naturally held by the little hand, and then it was stabbed directly at the back of the little fat man's head. The whole movement was as fast as lightning, without any hesitation!
…
…
The recruitment of disciples started at noon. Lin Xiaolu came forward to preside over it briefly, and then handed it over completely to Ling Wei and Tang Yue. One of them tested the talent of cultivating immortals, and the other recruited warrior disciples. He himself took Ah Yi to drink Went for flower wine.
As the old saying goes, if men and women work together, the work will not be tiring. Although there are a lot of apprentices this time, after all, it is men and women who work together, so it is not a big problem.
At this moment, in Miao Yufang, which was once made a fuss by an eight-year-old child hundreds of years ago, Lin Xiaolu and Ah Yi were sitting comfortably together, eating crazily in front of a table full of wine and food, and eating while eating. While chatting, the dirty boy stood opposite them, watching them eat quietly.
"Don't you want to eat something?" Halfway through the conversation, Lin Xiaolu turned the fish maw with chopsticks and looked at the boy naturally and said:
"You seem very hungry."
Ha Yi, whose mouth was full of ribs, also nodded vaguely:
"If you want to learn martial arts from Brother Lu in the future, you need to eat more to strengthen your body and bones. Warriors still have very high requirements for food."
Looking at the two so-called Emei Immortals in front of him, the boy's dark eyes flashed with deep contemplation.
This seems... a little different from the Immortal Emei I thought about.
Originally, he was prepared to be driven away, arrested, or even beaten, but these two immortals in front of him took him to a brothel to drink?
This was not his first time coming to a brothel. His master and several uncles and uncles often came here before and had seen it before.
In the box, the boy who had always been taciturn was confused. He looked at Lin Xiaolu and Ah Yi who were eating a lot in front of him and had no image of immortals. He finally couldn't help it and asked slowly in a slightly hoarse voice:
"You...won't you punish me?"
"I'll punish you." Lin Xiaolu, who was interrupted when he was talking to Ah Yi, held his chopsticks and pointed at the plate of soy sauce bones closest to the boy and said:
"First you will be punished by eating that plate of sauced bones and sucking out the bone marrow. You are not allowed to waste it, you know."
boy:……
He did not sit down, but paused, and then reminded him in a tone that was far more mature than his peers:
"If you hadn't suddenly appeared, I would have killed that damn fat man. The fat man's parents asked the officials to arrest me. Murder is a serious crime."
"These are two different things." Lin Xiaolu sat at the table and said while eating fish by himself:
"If you really kill someone, there's nothing to say. One life is for another life. But now that you have failed to kill someone, the punishment you receive will have to be changed. You can't still have one life for one life, right? So, first of all, Eat, after all, if you don’t eat enough, how can I punish you? You are so skinny and small, and I ask you to pick up excrement, you probably won’t even have the strength.”
The boy was silent. He lowered his head and looked at the attractive-colored pickled bones in front of him. Finally he couldn't help but sat down, grabbed the pickled bones and started to gnaw them, wolfing them down like a little wild animal.
Seeing how crazy he was eating, Lin Xiaolu asked with a smile: "How many days have you not eaten?"
"Two days."
"why do not you eat?"
"No money." The boy said vaguely while chewing on the bones:
"I came from Zhao State. I walked for four days and I only had enough dry food for the first two days."
Lin Xiaolu understood, nodded, then picked up the knife on the table and asked softly:
"It's very rare for you to have such short sword skills at such a young age. Shouldn't you be deprived of food?"
Hearing this, the boy's eyes became darker and brighter as he concentrated on chewing the bones:
"It's a plain all the way, and I can't find any prey. I don't want food, and I don't even bother to steal anything."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaolu raised his eyebrows and said "Yeah" with a smile. Ah Yi on the side was a little confused and asked while chewing the chicken leg:
"You're quite a conflicted kid. What's your name?"
Hearing Shangxian's question, before the boy could speak, Lin Xiaolu responded to Ah Yi first:
"This kid's name is Hua Hong'er. His master is the bandit leader of Mangque Mountain on the border of Emei region. He is known as Golden Sword Old Mang in the world."
As soon as these words came out, the boy named Hua Hong'er immediately raised his head and looked at Lin Xiaolu in surprise.
He didn't expect that this Immortal of Emei actually knew about him.
In the field, Lin Xiaolu continued to smile at Ah Yi and said:
"This kid was abandoned by his parents when he was young, and was later adopted by bandits. He practiced a lot of killing skills, among which the knife skills were the best. Later, the bandits were killed by the court, and all the heads of the family were killed, but he was killed because of his age. He was too young, so he became an obedient citizen and wandered in the rivers and lakes."
After saying that, Lin Xiaolu looked at the ten-year-old Hua Honger and said with a smile:
"The government's attitude towards you has always been very subtle. The guards told me that you became a bandit at a young age, and you also had human lives on your hands. You should have been beheaded. The reason why the government will let you go is besides your age. Aside from being a kid, the most important thing is that you killed your master out of righteousness?"
As soon as these words came out, Ah Bei, who was on the side, was dumbfounded and looked at the bigger kid in surprise.
Killer?
In the side room, Hua Hong'er gnawed on the bones, puffed her cheeks, nodded silently, and did not deny it.
Lin Xiaolu didn't say anything when he saw his appearance. He had heard that this child only appeared on the court's bandit suppression list when he was eight years old. In other words, he had a father and a mother before he was eight years old. Ordinary doll.
And judging from the brutal and skillful way this kid kills people, he probably was forced to do things he didn't want to do by his master after he became a bandit. In all likelihood, he was specially trained as a killing tool.
After thinking about it roughly, Lin Xiaolu did not ask further questions, but smiled at Hua Hong'er and said:
"You won the lottery to become a warrior, so you are destined to be with me. However, you made a mistake today and need to be punished. Can you accept it?"
The boy nodded.
I really shouldn't want to stab that little fat man to death. Even if I give myself another chance, I will still do it. But making a mistake is a mistake, so you should be punished and scolded. Whether you change or not is another matter. Just like your master, he abused I forced myself to kill someone and did something wrong, so I sent the old man on his way with a knife after he fell asleep. That was what he deserved!
Soon, while Lin Xiaolu and Ah Yi were drinking from one cup to another, Hua Hong'er was full. He wiped his mouth carelessly with his dirty sleeves, then raised his head, looked at Lin Xiaolu and asked:
"What are you going to punish me for?"
Hearing this question, Lin Xiaolu held his chin and thought for a moment, then said to this weird child:
"Go to Honglu Temple by yourself, find a guard named Heda, and get twenty strokes of the ruler from him, and then clean the floor of Honglu Temple inside and out. If it has not been cleaned before I recruit disciples, Then you don’t need to go to Emei with me, we don’t have a master-disciple relationship.”
