"If you get three taels of money and drink two handfuls of dendrobium wine, your life will be happy, and you won't have to worry about being drunk..."
The young Taoist hummed a little tune and walked happily on the road, jumping up and down.
Suddenly, he stopped, curled up his neck, stood on tiptoes, and wanted to quietly retrace his steps.
Just because there was a person standing not far in front.
"Why, didn't you try your best to get close to me just now? Now you're going to take a detour when you see me?" The man sneered and turned around slowly.
It turned out to be Bai Gu.
The young Taoist smiled awkwardly, "Xiao Baigu, it's you, who did Pindao think... Ah, no, I just suddenly remembered that a friend made an appointment with Pindao for a drink today, and Pindao was in a hurry to go there. Yes, it is like that."
Bai Gu nodded, "You can drink, but keep the money."
"Hey, Xiao Baigu, you don't need to bring money when you go to dinner. Even though someone is inviting me to drink, I don't have to bring some food to go with the food. If not, I can take him to eat something hot to warm his stomach after drinking. Why are you so ignorant of the ways of the world!"
Bai Gu pointed at his waist, his eyes became stern, "Take it out yourself, don't force me to do it."
The young Taoist pretended to be confused, pretending to be confused, and asked: "What are you getting?"
"I'm saying it again, take it out!" Bai Gu clenched his right hand tightly, as if he was hiding something.
The young Taoist sighed helplessly, took out a few coins from his arms, stretched out his arms, and spread his palms, "Okay, okay, here they are, they're all here."
Bai Gu just glanced at it and said, "There's still one left."
The young Taoist couldn't help but jump to his feet, "Oh no, you can see this too! Are you still a human being?"
"Xiao Qiu is such a young child. If you even deceive her out of her money, do you think she's a human being?" Bai Gu retorted with a sneer.
The young Taoist was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
This money was indeed earned by him by fooling the little girl into asking her for fortune-telling. Although he is not very aboveboard, at least he has done his best.
But Bai Gu's eyes reminded him of something, and he felt a little guilty.
He had no choice but to take out another copper plate from his arms and said helplessly, "That's enough for now."
Bai Gu nodded, "I won't take this money, but you are not allowed to spend it either. All the money must be used to buy food for Xiaoqiu. You are responsible for her food this winter."
"Xiao Baigu, you are going too far! How much copper is this, and how much can you pay for this winter? This is not enough even for three days! No, you have to give me some more."
"No money, that's all. Who told you to cheat Xiaoqiu? You deserve it!" Bai Gu put his hands in his hands and looked at the young Taoist like a fool, "Don't forget, the old guy told me how to deal with you, you If you don’t believe it, you can give it a try.”
"What a bad old man!" The young Taoist was so angry that his teeth itched, but there was nothing he could do.
The old beggar ran to Dongyang City now, and he had something to do and couldn't leave. Otherwise, he would just kill him and beat the old beggar up.
As for Bai Gu, he is just a young man, so why should he care too much about him?
Besides, if the old beggar really taught this brat that method, then he would not be able to confront this brat head-on. If this kid gets angry and tries to use that method, he will be the one who suffers the most.
Not worth it.
The young Taoist took a deep breath, put away the copper coins, pointed at Bai Gu, gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "You are cruel! I admit it!"
Bai Gu smiled brightly, "I advise you to put your fingers down, otherwise I don't know if I will rush over and break that thing off."
The young Taoist felt aggrieved and had nothing to do, so he was so angry that he could only walk away.
Looking at the angry back of the young Taoist, Bai Gu felt relieved: "I can't cure you, little one."
——————
Brother Peng was walking in an alley, performing daily patrol duties.
This is an alley near Lingding Alley, called Kuxiang.
They are all the same poor people's alleys, but the location of Kuxiang Alley is better than that of Lingding Alley. It can get a little sunshine when the weather is good.
But that's all.
When good food is served, the rich use their chopsticks first. The poor can enjoy themselves secretly if they can get the juice from the dishes. Do you still want to eat meat?
There is everything in the dream.
Brother Peng only took Aguang with him today. The brothers all worked in shifts, and today it happened to be their turn.
"Brother Peng, is this the last alley? You can go back to eat after walking, right?" A Guang approached Brother Peng with a smile on his face.
"Well, it's the last trip. Finish it early and go back and rest early."
There are a lot of things today, and Brother Peng is also a little tired.
"Hey, sir in front of you, can you make way? We have to go there."
Aguang suddenly spoke out, bringing Brother Peng back from his thoughts, who was in a daze.
I saw an old man with gray hair standing not far in front, wearing cloth shoes, stooped at the waist, and wearing a long gray coat, with his back to Brother Peng and the other two.
Hearing A Guang's voice, the old man slowly turned around and looked at the two of them. The wrinkles on his face almost squeezed into a chrysanthemum, "You two, where are you going?"
"Hey, old man, we are from the Qianmo Division and are responsible for the security in this area. Today's patrol is all about this alley. It's getting late. Please forgive me. My eldest brother and I can go back and rest early. You old man, too. Go home early." Although Aguang has a rude face, he is still very polite when speaking, especially when facing elders and children.
The old man smiled and shook his head: "I have something to do with you today."
"Did the old man encounter any difficulties? Tell me, our Qianmo Division maintains law and order and solves problems for the people nearby." Aguang's face was full of pride when he said it. It can be seen that he is very interested in this job. It's pride.
"It's not difficult to say, I just want you to stop. Let's forget about those children." The old man put his hands behind his back and spoke lightly.
But the expressions of Brother Peng and the two men suddenly changed and became ugly.
Are these helpers invited by those children?
It would have been fine if they were ordinary people, but it happened that three of those children were from other gangs and local gangsters. The other one has some background, I heard he comes from a big family.
No matter which side it is, it gives Brother Peng a headache.
The local snakes are so deep-rooted that even if the government has been entangled with them for more than ten years, it is difficult to eradicate them; the big families are rich, powerful and have people, and some big families even the government does not dare to act rashly against them. To fight against them is simply to use an egg to hit a stone.
I just don’t know which side the old man in front of me is from.
"May I ask, old man, which force does it come from?" Brother Peng took a step forward and protected A Guang behind him.
"Only you are not qualified to know."
Brother Peng understood clearly.
It was sent by that big family.
Otherwise, he wouldn't speak so confidently and arrogantly.
Brother Peng looked directly at the old man without giving in at all, "Those children broke into other people's homes, smashed and looted, causing one of the two little girls to die and the other to be seriously injured. They have not yet woken up. Whether it is according to official law or as a matter of course, they They all should be punished. Especially the mastermind and the main culprit should pay with their lives!"
But I never thought that the old man didn't care, and just waved his hand gently, "I don't care about this. I only know that my young master has protected that child. So, I am just here to inform you, not to discuss."
Brother Peng's face darkened, "What if we don't?"
"Haha, what if? Then you want to make an enemy of my young master. Are you worthy of being a bitch like you?" The old man's face was filled with contempt.
A Guang was so aroused by the old man's words that his veins popped out, and he wanted to rush forward and beat the old man violently, but was stopped by Brother Peng.
Brother Peng leaned close to A Guang's ear and lowered his voice, "Let's go! Go back quickly! I'll handle it."
Seeing the confusion and hesitation on Aguang's face, Brother Peng hated iron and said, "Get out of here! Run as fast as you can!"
As he said that, Brother Peng gave A Guang a kick.
Aguang looked aggrieved, why did he get kicked for no reason. But he still didn't dare to disobey Brother Peng, so he opened his legs and started trotting.
Seeing this, the old man just smiled, and the wrinkles on his face deepened, "You are quite smart, you know how to split your troops and run in two directions. But do you think you can stop me? Or, do you think I am coming alone? of?"
Brother Peng said to himself that it was too late, but it was too late.
The old man stretched out a hand, and a fierce aura erupted from his body, instantly filling the narrow alley. His originally rickety body seemed to stand upright at this moment.
"Want to leave? You can try."
Brother Peng gritted his teeth, his eyes full of worry, but there was nothing he could do.
If you want to save A Guang, you must first defeat the old man in front of you.
But this old man is not simple...
