The "hanging poles" mentioned above are simply beggars and beggars. But even though he is a beggar, he still has many sayings.
To give a simple analogy, if we talk about the way of begging, it can be divided into: literary practice and martial arts. In the literary profession, there are singing beggars, poetry beggars, and music-speaking beggars; in the martial arts profession, there are street beggars, nail-headed beggars, snake beggars, and so on. The former earns alms by knocking on bamboo boards to please the beggars, while the latter relies on some evil behaviors such as forcible begging.
In fact, there is a particularly dangerous type called "female plectrums". They are older girls and younger wives wearing blue cloth headbands and holding bamboo boards in their hands. Although not as ferocious as Wu Xing, the noisy shopkeepers still rely on small groups, chatting, laughing and cursing, as if they are afraid of scorpions and tigers, chickens and dogs are restless, so they have to ask someone to talk things over to avoid losing money and avoid disasters.
If we talk about it in detail, there are many rules such as "Ten Poor, Eight Essentials, and Ten Precepts", or many sects such as "Fan, Li, Wu, Gao", etc. Naturally, it is too much to introduce in just a few words. In order to avoid the suspicion of adding words, we will stop here. That's it.
Lang Yun used to work for the Feng family in Cangma City. Because of his bad habits, he also had some dealings with this group. He made a fortune by relying on the kindness of the Feng family head, so he was no stranger to people in these costumes. .
It's just that the helpers Lang Yun was looking for before were all literary men. These beggars were very abiding by the rules. Except for "business", the boundaries were still very clear.
But apart from the tattered clothes, these people in front of me all have fleshy faces and big waists. At first glance, they are martial arts members of the Beggar Clan! They can be said to be very difficult characters, like dog-skin plaster, which is difficult to get rid of once it gets on them.
Lang Yun looked around, but there was only one possible way in front of him. He gritted his teeth and walked forward, hoping that these martial arts practitioners were in a good mood and would let him go.
Unfortunately, what happened was counterproductive. Although the group of beggars were just staring at the wolf and whispering at first, when the wolf came closer, they stood up with a roar and directly surrounded the wolf.
"This little brother is very unfamiliar. I wonder which family he comes from?" In front of Lang Yun, a strong man with a stick and a strong back looked at Lang Yun up and down, and then asked coldly.
"Hero, I'm not hanging a pole, but I just happen to be passing by here. Could you please do me a favor?" Lang Yun took a look and saw an ox bone hanging around this man's neck, and there were jingling copper bells on the ox bone. Noise, also shrinking the neck to make a good sound.
"I'm not hanging on the pole..." The strong man followed suit, which caused a burst of laughter from around him. Then he made a silence gesture to signal everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "Qie Ni whip Hong'er dug the shed Okay, you are so anxious, and you are not afraid of paying the price?"
Hearing this, Lang Yun shook his head repeatedly: "Hero, I really have something to do and am in a hurry. It's cloudy and rainy in the west. It doesn't matter..."
The strong man raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and shouted sharply: "Who told you that it was going to rain in the west?"
"It wasn't you just now...hiss..." Lang Yun took a breath of cold air and said to himself in the middle of the sentence, "Oh no," what the strong man meant just now was: It was thundering and cloudy in the west, and he was in a hurry, and he was not afraid of rain. But these words are all jokes, and ordinary people are naturally not exposed to them. If he has nothing to do with this, he will definitely not know the meaning.
Lang Yun had done too much with Wen Xing in the past, and he was also a gambler, so he had some understanding of these jokes. I didn't expect that someone who wasn't paying attention would fall into the trap set by this person today.
"You also said that it doesn't matter to you. You have been unruly over and over again, and today you dared to break into the boundaries of our house and act wild! Anyone who comes will be treated according to the family law!"
"Hero, is there any misunderstanding here..." Although Lang Yun wanted to explain, his words were drowned in the shouts as soon as he spoke.
"Serve according to family law! Serve according to family law!"
The roars of these strong men were so powerful that they made his ears buzz. Gradually, he understood the general reason of the incident from these noises. It turns out that beggars from another family have been coming to their house to beg without permission recently, taking away a lot of business. And these martial arts beggars set up an ambush to intercept this person on this inevitable road, but they didn't expect that they were unlucky and broke in by mistake.
When the beggars pinned the wolf to the ground with their sticks, the strong man with the cow bone pulled out a dark green bamboo joint from his waist and rubbed the sharp end against his body. Rubbing, and then walked over while tapping his palms.
"Boy, don't blame me for being cruel. If you want to blame me, blame you for breaking the rules!" The strong man was so frightened when he saw the wolf that he didn't rush to take action. He suddenly said a few words of comfort: "After all, we are all I am a fellow traveler. If I break your legs and let you die on the road...it will not be easy to explain to your Lord Gan'er! How about this...I will cut off one of your hands as a punishment. When you go back, you will tell your Lord Gan'er to recruit people in the future. Show the highlights and pay close attention to the boundaries on the ground!"
"No... don't..." Lang Yun's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he struggled wildly. He was going to the Jade Pot Sect on this trip. If he became disabled here and had no chance, it would be better to lose his life and end it all.
"Ha...I'm not discussing with you, I'm just telling you to prepare yourself mentally!" The strong man casually pulled a piece of cloth from his body and stuffed the wolf's mouth, "Hold him up for me. It’s family law, family law, and you still have to spit out whatever you take away!”
As he said that, the strong man started groping around the wolf.
"Huh?" The strong man touched Lang Yun's body and finally felt something strange on his chest, "What is this..."
When Lang Yun saw the envelope in the strong man's hand, his expression became even more excited. He suddenly raised his foot and kicked the strong man's calf with a thud.
This calf is the most vulnerable part of a human body. The strong man let out an ouch of pain, and then his face instantly turned red. He gritted his teeth and cursed: "Boy, you're looking for death!" After saying that, he clenched his fist and pointed at Lang Yun's belly.
Although it was only a short moment, the wolf was already unconscious with blood foaming from its mouth, and the cloth in its mouth was filled with blood and fell to the ground. The strong man was not relieved, and slapped the wolf a few more times with his bow from left to right, and then stopped panting.
Seeing that the wolf that was thrown on the ground was no longer moving, he spat hard and then opened the envelope.
"What is written on it is...um..." The strong man squinted and turned a piece of paper over and looked at it for a long time. The only thing he knew was that the paper in front of him had black words on a white background. He also scratched his eyebrows and said to The man next to him waved, "Blind man, didn't you say you can read? Come here and see what is written on it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a beggar with pus from his eyes approaching. Although he was called blind, he was not completely blind, but just suffered from an eye disease.
This person came closer and wanted to put a piece of white paper on his face, and he started to hum...
"I'm talking about blind man...are you holding in your feces, or are you mute?" Seeing that the blind man never spoke, the strong man was also a little impatient.
The blind man sighed, handed the paper back, and gestured: "Boss, the weather has been very humid recently. I have an eye disease and I can't concentrate. I can only read a few words! Look at what's written here. It’s jade... what... this is a good person... something like that..."
The strong man casually took the paper, held it with one hand and threw it aside. However, the hand holding the envelope crooked and something slipped out. Fortunately, the strong man had quick eyes and quick hands, so he did not drop such an object on the ground. .
The strong man opened his palm and looked, and there was a bright green light in his eyes. He didn't know whether it was the true color of the eyes or the reflection of the object in his palm.
"Blind man! You've really been fooled! This jade token... is indeed a treasure! Hahaha... now we're lucky!" The strong man laughed for a while, then squinted his eyes and looked at the half-dead wolf on the side. , secretly murmured: "It seems like... this kid really doesn't seem to be one of us. Although he is dressed in a mess, he looks very shrewd. He should be a proud man!"
"Boss, then... aren't we the ones who broke the rules?" Someone beside him exclaimed, "How about... we let him go?"
"Are you talking nonsense! We have offended people to death like this. If we let him go like this, our life will not be easy in the future!" Someone else hurriedly advised.
"What else? You can feed him in a big sedan chair with good food and drink?" The blind man strongly disagreed with the man's words and sneered coldly.
"Shut up!" The strong man with the bell and ox bone frowned, and the surroundings were silent for a moment.
"What you said is correct... It is true that we were at fault in this matter. It was me who caused the misunderstanding because I did not ask for my identity..." The strong man paused and suddenly changed the subject: "So since we have offended, We might as well offend some more, as long as we deal with it cleanly enough, even if we are suspected in the future, no one will be able to do anything to us! Let’s take action while no one notices!”
What this person said was too straightforward. Everyone nodded and started gearing up to dig a hole and bury the wolf on the spot.
"Return...I..." Just as everyone was busy working in full swing, the dying man on the ground made a weak voice.
"You two...go take care of it!" The strong man was busy wiping the jade plaque in his hand, leaving the funeral arrangements to others.
"I didn't expect your boy's bones to be quite strong. I just don't know if no matter how hard it is... can it be stronger than the stone in my hand!"
"One-eyed dragon! Stop talking nonsense. Master Gan'er asked us to take action quickly! Don't cause any trouble!"
"What are you worried about? This guy is no different from a dead dog now. Could it be that...he can bite me back?" The one-eyed dragon took a breath and wiped the itchy artificial eye, then weighed the stone in his hand and walked away. He walked close to the wolf and stood on tiptoes to kick the wolf on the head: "Bite me! Come and bite me!"
But before he finished speaking, he let out a burst of screams.
The man next to him had already turned his back, but when he heard this, he also looked impatient: "I told you to stop making trouble! The master of the pole will be angry after a while... huh?"
But when he turned back again, where was the one-eyed dragon in front of him?
