Bright Era

The scrawny Wood crawled on the ground with his stiff body expressionlessly. His eyes were a little dull, but in the muddy dullness, there was a heart-palpitating determination. He gritted his teeth and crawled forward with difficulty, and slowly climbed to the door of another porcelain shop, lying next to a luxurious two-wheeled carriage.

The bridge just now happened again. The guard beat Wood, a charming girl said some kind words for Wood, and the dude brother was very bold and dropped some change. Wood quickly threw the gold coin aside this time, but only put a few silver coins and copper in his mouth.

He looked around cautiously, allowing a few quick pickpockets to rush over and take away the gold coins in front of him.

With a heavy sigh, Wood crawled slowly. He climbed into a relatively remote alley with difficulty, lay down at the door of a small wine shop that was still in business, and spit out a few silver coins and dozens of coins from his mouth. A copper.

A guy who was only fifteen or sixteen years old walked out of the small wine shop. He looked at Wood who was lying on the ground, sighed heavily, then picked up the money on the ground, turned and walked into the small wine shop. When the dude walked out, he was carrying two greased paper bags in his hand. One greased paper package contained several large pieces of brown bread, and another greased paper package contained a few smoked sausages.

"Old man Wood, I haven't seen you for a long time!" The guy hung two oil paper bags on both sides of Wood's neck and said with a joking smile: "I heard you were sick a few months ago? We still I bet when you will die. I didn't expect you to come back alive again!"

Wood lifted his detached face and muttered in a low voice: "How could I die? Hey, my uncle Wood, I have to live well."

After a few violent coughs, Wood propped his elbows on the ground and crawled forward slowly, gradually crawling into the darkness.

Standing on the roof of the wine shop, Lin Qi quietly looked at Wood, who was crawling forward, and then exhaled heavily. He stepped on the roofs on both sides of the street and followed Wood carefully, trying to see where he was going.

Wood crawled forward for two full hours. He crawled into the civilian area of ​​Xicheng District with great difficulty, and then crawled into a dirty alley full of silt. Slowly crawling through the foul-smelling silt, Wood crawled into a small ruined courtyard.

Closing the tattered courtyard door with his head, Wood coughed loudly and moved inch by inch into the only well-preserved room in the courtyard.

The room was covered with straw, and there were five thin men lined up. At first glance, these guys were born with ugly faces. They were all great guys lying in embarrassment on the straw. Hearing the sound of Wood entering the door, they all struggled and raised their heads, looking towards them blankly. Wood.

The guy closest to the door chuckles with a weird smile: "Boss, you are back alive again? Not easy? It seems that you got the money today? We **** have to live again?"

Another big man rolled his eyes and sneered: "What are you doing back for? Let us die. We really don't want to live anymore. You simply were killed by a carriage outside, or insulted a nobleman who was killed by them. You are dead. We don’t have to live anymore."

Wood turned over and entered the house. He laughed strangely, "Jie Jie", "What nonsense? We must live, we must live! We can't give up on ourselves, brothers, we have all been lavish, we have all been uncles. Yes, we are only temporarily in trouble. Sooner or later, we will have a good day!"

The five big men looked at Wood blankly, they shook their heads at the same time and sighed heavily.

Wood grinned a few times and found that the other people ignored him. Wood smiled awkwardly, then untied the oily paper bag hanging around his neck and threw it on the ground indiscriminately: "A bunch of dead ghosts, eat, If you die, you have to become a ghost."

After a few triumphant smiles, Wood shook his head and said, "I said, I'm smarter than you, and I'm looking for those young men who come out with beautiful ladies to pay for them. They are very generous! So, we won't do anything in the future We will be hungry! Even, we can save some money, and sooner or later we can collect a sum of money to ask the pharmacist to heal us!"

The five big guys glanced at each other, they shook their heads, then twisted their bodies at the same time, slowly crawling towards the two oil paper bags.

Standing on the roof, Lin Qi watched their movements through the cracked roof, frowning involuntarily. The five guys in the room are more severely injured than Wood. If Wood can barely crawl on the ground, if these five guys crawl a little bit, they will be involved in the internal organ injuries, and they may vomit blood. dead.

Therefore, Wood can only go begging for money, and buy food to return to the five men. Not only were the internal organs injured, the limbs of these five men were also shattered with blunt instruments. At least Wood's two arms could move freely, but their arms could only maintain the most basic movements.

The six skeletons were tall and sturdy, but the men who were as thin as the skeleton frame lay silently on the ground, chewing on brown bread and sausage. They chewed without saying a word, as if chewing some people's flesh and blood.

When they had eaten everything, Wood turned his body and came to the corner of the room. He carefully opened a floor and threw a silver coin and a few coppers hidden in his sleeve. This is a hole about three inches deep one foot square, in which a thick layer of coins has been deposited. Wood looked at the coins proudly and smiled: "Give us a few more years of work, we should have a brother who can recover to health, and then life will be better!"

Several big guys sighed at the same time, they closed their eyes and lay on the straw in a row.

Wood covered the floor, covered a ball of straw on the floor, and lay quietly on the ground. No one spoke in the room for a while, only the heavy breathing of six men kept coming.

After a long time, a guy suddenly cried: "I really, really want to kill them!"

Wood coughed heavily, and he said in a low voice: "Shut up! Keep these things in your mind, one day we will settle accounts with them! Don't look at them now, hum, one day..."

Another man asked indifferently, "Boss, will there really be another day? They are all big figures in the imperial capital now. What about us? We are just a bunch of disabled, we are just a bunch of beggars, what else can we do?"

Wood's eyes widened and looked at the roof. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "I don't believe it, I don't believe those who betray the boss, they can really be proud of their lives. I don't believe it, such a good guy like us is really true. This has been the case all his life! The boss was thrown into the church’s hell, but there are Master Enzo and others... They will come back!"

A big man murmured to himself: "Master Enzo? Are they... still alive?"

Wood was silent for a long time, and then gritted his teeth: "Of course, they must be alive. Even if they are dead, they have to get up from the ground. How can they die? If they die, what about us brothers? We...what do?"

Lin Qi rubbed his nose and shook his head gently.

"It really makes me sad, don't you have any faith in me? Don't you believe that I can escape from the Black Abyss God Prison? Tsk, put all hope on Enzo and the others? This really makes me This leader is very sad!"

"But, you guys. Hey, you guys can really survive. It's very good, very good! You have been beautiful, enjoyed, and then you have been tortured, you have suffered, but I want to say, whatever you are loyal to me Those who are serious will surely get blessings!"

"My brother! Great! Wood! Great!"

Lin Qi took a deep breath. He was about to jump into the yard when the gate of the yard was suddenly kicked open.

A burly man wearing low-level aristocratic clothes and looking at the coat of arms on his chest should be a second-level knight with his arms around a girl with heavy makeup, and walked in with a triumphant smile. Behind this burly man, a dozen private soldiers in leather armor followed. Although these leather armors do not have inlaid runes and are not magical equipment, they are also very sophisticated in ordinary equipment.

The price of each set of leather armor is more than two thousand gold coins, which is not a small investment.

"Wood, my brother, I'm here to visit you!" The stout man laughed loudly, his hand rubbing the girl's buttocks around him, and walking into the house triumphantly. As soon as he entered the room, he violently kicked the man closest to the door somersaults and almost hit his head against the wall.

Wood straightened his upper body angrily, and snarled in a low voice: "Abrin, what are you doing? What the **** do you want?"

The burly man kicked Wood's chest fiercely. He raised his head majesticly and sneered constantly: "Please call me Master Ablin! Didn't you see the knight badge on my chest? Today I am from the third level. It’s a good day for a knight to be promoted to a second-level knight, so I specially came to see my old brother back then! Tsk tsk, how did Master Wood, who was once rewarded with 100,000 gold coins, become a beggar now?"

Wood was gasping for breath, his eyes were red and he stared at Ablin, but he couldn't say a word.

Lin Qi looked at Ablin deeply, how could Lin Qi not remember this guy's rough face?

At the trial meeting that year, Ablin was the first to jump out to identify Lin Qi. Lin Qi still remembered his frothy face.

‘Haha’ laughed a few times, and Lin Qi nodded slowly. It was a coincidence that he came to Berrely today. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
