I steamed buns for the general

Chapter 20

The beggars looked like devils in the dark night, staring at Zhijin like a very hungry wolf staring at a fat sheep.

"You, you go away!" Zhijin was very scared, she was timid, and now she was so frightened that she trembled when she spoke.In the past few days, her nerves have been tense, even if she is afraid, she dare not show it, but thinking of what happened in those few days, she can't help shivering.

One of the beggars rubbed his nose and teased the others: "Hey, the little girl has a good voice, I don't know what kind of ecstasy she is when she screams under us."

"Brother, try it first, it must be good." Another thinner beggar flatteringly said to the beggar who spoke first.

Zhijin was terrified, and under the moonlight, she suddenly recognized that this thin beggar was the one who robbed her money, and immediately said angrily, "It's you, it's you who robbed me of my money!"

The little beggar was stunned for a moment, unexpectedly being recognized, but now the nun is already meat on the chopping board, she is not afraid at all, but said bitterly to the people around her: "Brother Dog, she actually recognized me!" .”

"So what if you recognize it?" Brother Gou smirked twice, and took a step forward, "Thanks to this beauty, we can drink wine, eat meat, and sleep with women. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't know in this life." The taste of a woman."

"Yeah, Brother Gou is right." The little beggar suddenly gained confidence, and inadvertently turned around, saw the young man in the corner, approaching Brother Gou with wary eyes, and whispered: "Is that kid going to be broken?" Are we doing well?"

Hearing this, Brother Gou looked up at the dimly lit room. The boy was sitting in a corner, with a child lying on his lap. He noticed his gaze, and the boy pursed his lips imperceptibly, and only looked at him quietly. .Brother Gou didn't take it seriously, although this young man is fierce, as long as he doesn't provoke him, he won't meddle in his own business.

After thinking about it, Brother Gou snorted coldly, glanced at his companion, and surrounded Zhijin, "It's a big deal, let him try it after our brothers are finished."

"You guys, don't bully me. Otherwise, I'll find the great general who protects the country and arrest you!" Zhijin was terrified. Thinking of Qin Jin's cold-faced prince, it should start to work.

Sure enough, these beggars also knew about the General Protecting the Country, and when they heard Zhijin's words, they only paused for a moment and rushed over indifferently.

"Hmph, you little girl, how dare you scare me with the general. Qin Jin, the general who protects the country, is something that nuns like you can know."

Brother Gou was dirty, raised his hand and slapped Zhijin.

Zhijin let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground. She was not discouraged. Seeing that they didn't believe her, she said, "General Qin lived temporarily in a nunnery a few days ago, and I took care of him. Of course I know him. I also followed Qin when I came to Beijing this time." The general enters the capital, if you deceive me today, I will definitely inform the general in the future."

"Huh, you dare to speak hard. If that's the case, why would you go out on the street alone and come to this Town God's Temple?" Brother Gou didn't listen to her, and gave his companion a wink. They held Zhijin's legs, and the dog Brother bullied him.

What does a beggar smell like?Sour and stinky, Zhijin was about to vomit, but she had to protect herself.She couldn't move her legs, and her arms were flailing wildly.Brother Gou held her arm with one hand, and stabbed Zhijin's cotton robe with the other.

The night wind was blowing on her body, but Zhijin didn't care about the cold. When she turned her head, she accidentally bumped into a pair of bright eyes.It's just that those eyes were pitch black without any fluctuation, as if they were looking at someone who was not related.

Zhijin seemed to see hope, and struggled even harder.Looking at the young man a few steps away, he earnestly begged for help.How she wished someone could come to rescue her at this time.

Xue Lang didn't want to meddle in other people's business at first, but when the nun mentioned Qin Jin, the great general who protects the country, his heart suddenly moved.If it is true, then it may not be impossible to meet the general through the little nun.With an embarrassing background, it is really difficult to find a way out without being discovered, and he has to be more careful with his younger brother.Not for himself but for his younger brother, he has to fight.

Having made up his mind, Xue Lang stood up and walked over while the beggars were not paying attention.Standing aside, I heard a few beggars making rude and obscene words.The little nun struggled pitifully, looking at him with pleading eyes, which made his heart soften.

"Go away, don't make the brothers unhappy." Brother Gou glanced at Xue Lang, and pushed him unhappily, "If you want to get involved, you have to wait until the brothers are happy, and reward you." One shot. Stay away now."

Xue Lang frowned, was pushed by him, and retreated.Brother Gou and the others didn't pay attention to him at all, they turned their heads to meet Zhijin with teary eyes, they felt that their body and mind were softened by this look, and it would definitely be more comfortable if they kissed him.Brother Gou stepped forward with a sinister smile, and felt a pain in his chest before his body touched Zhijin, and was immediately kicked out.

Brother Gou looked down, there was a dagger stuck in his chest, the blood red blood was particularly glaring in the dark night, the pain hit, and he felt the flow of consciousness.Brother Gou's eyes widened, and he looked at Xue Lang in disbelief, "You..." Before he finished speaking, he lost his breath and fell down.

They are all beggars, and although they dislike each other on weekdays, they have not had any major conflicts after getting along for so long, but now no one expected that this young man would attack them for the sake of a nun, and he was so vicious.The other beggars were terrified, staggered back in horror, then turned and ran.

Xue Lang naturally wouldn't chase after him.His kung fu is limited, so he can only rely on outsmarting to scare the beggars away by killing them.If they really match up, I am afraid that I am no match for four punches with two hands.

Fortunately, these people all ran away, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The yard fell silent.Zhijin was stunned by the scene that just happened in front of her. When she begged him to save him, she clearly saw disdain and impatience in his eyes. Originally, she was ready to commit suicide, but who knew that when she closed her eyes When looking at the eyes, there was no expected insult.

Opening his eyes again, the person who had spoken rudely to him just now was already dead, thrown on the ground like a puddle of mud.

Seeing the dead again, she couldn't help but think of the night when Jing Hai died a few days ago.His eyes were also wide open like this, very unwilling.There is also the senior sister, who is not reconciled to death. When she is alone, she always wonders whether the senior sister will come to her for revenge and settle the score on her head.

"Brother..." The soft kitten-like voice brought back Zhijin's thoughts, and when she looked up, a seven or eight-year-old child was pulling the boy's skirt with fear on his face.

Xue Lang bowed his head, patted his younger brother's messy head, and smiled gently: "Be good, don't be afraid, brother will protect you."

The boy seemed to have received a big promise, and nodded happily, then his face fell down, he touched his belly and said pitifully: "Brother, I'm hungry."

Xue Lang blushed, feeling distressed.I am 15 years old but I can't even fill my younger brother's stomach. It's a man in vain.

"Brother will take you to find something to eat tomorrow." Xue Lang comforted his younger brother with firm eyes.

"give you to eat."

Xue Chen turned his head and saw that the aunt who had just been bullied was holding a peeled steamed bun and was looking at him.He pursed his lips, and his stomach rumbled. He looked at his brother expectantly, waiting for his brother to say something, whether to take it or not.

Xue Lang looked at the little nun, the gray cotton robe was already neatly dressed, and the torn place was tied casually.A pair of big eyes were bright and moist, looking at him timidly.

"Thank you for saving me. This steamed bun is for you to eat." Zhijin said sincerely.Although she was frightened by the young man's ruthlessness, it was his ruthlessness that saved her.Although she is a monk, she has experienced two lives and vowed not to let herself be bullied again.This person still wants to harm her today, she must not despise her benefactor just because of her fear and the stubborn thoughts of a monk in her heart.

Xue Lang looked at her, his heart softened suddenly, but then he remembered his purpose, suppressed the fleeting tenderness in his eyes, and said coldly: "Do you want to repay your life-saving grace with a steamed bun?"

Zhijin was stunned, she was grateful for the boy's life-saving grace, which allowed her to preserve her reputation, but unexpectedly, the other party wanted to reciprocate.But what did she give in return?Except for this steamed bun, she has nothing else on her body.And this steamed bun was stuffed by the master when she was in Jiuru'an.Now this steamed bun is the last thought Master left for her.Thinking of Master, her face darkened, and it seemed that the sky full of fire and billowing smoke appeared in front of her eyes again.

But right now, this boy despises this steamed bun. Could it be that he wants to bully himself like those bad beggars?Thinking of this, Zhijin's eyes were filled with horror, and he looked at the boy uneasily.

Xue Lang knew from the little nun's expression that she had misunderstood him.With a cold snort, he brought the steamed buns over, and then asked fiercely, "Is there any more?"

"No more." After a brief moment of daze, Zhijin shook her head, and suddenly remembered something, opened a package, and there were a few more in it, which were given to her by Uncle Zhang when they parted today, and she almost forgot.

Xue Chen stared at the steamed bun with bright eyes, as if afraid of being snatched away.Xue Lang took Xue Chen's hand and walked into the room.After walking a few steps, Zhijin was still sitting where she was, and she couldn't help frowning: "Aren't you going to come in and plan to spend the night outside?"

Zhijin was taken aback for a moment, not knowing whether to kiss or not.

"Then you just stay outside, no one will care if you freeze to death, and those scoundrels haven't come back yet..."

Before Xue Lang finished speaking, Zhijin had already got up from the ground, looked at the dead brother Gou in horror, and ran into the house in a hurry.Zhijin's courage seemed to have been exhausted during those few nights in Jiuru'an, and now she has turned back into a timid little nun, standing timidly inside the house, looking around.

Although the door has already fallen.But at any rate, the four walls can still block the wind.As soon as you walk in, you can feel the warmth.

Zhijin sat down not far from Xue Lang, leaned against the wall and looked at Xue Lang carefully.Xue Lang was wearing tattered clothes, his hair was messed up, his toes were still sticking out, and his hands were so black that he couldn't see the color.Only those eyes were as bright as stars, even mixed with a calmness that shouldn't be there at this age.

That's right, the child of the poor has long been in charge of the family. Seeing him begging with his younger brother at such an age, there is no room for him to be unsteady.
