Chapter 312 The Fear of the Falcon Eagle, the Covenant to Save the Poor
What a smart flat-haired beast!
Yang Chaoxi suddenly had such a thought in his mind. However, he saw that the falcon seemed to be unfinished and struggled to stand upright, bowing his head to the child, with a look of longing in his eyes!
The child was delighted when he saw this, and took out a sparrow from the small cloth bag beside him, and held it to the beak of the falcon. After the falcon pecked and swallowed it, he continued to take out the sparrow, and then fed it...
After eating seven or eight of them in this way, the falcon declined the child humbly. Then the bird tilted its head slightly to the left and then to the right, looking at the child eagerly with its burning black pupils, and "Goooo" welled up in its throat.
"Wail.
The child suddenly showed a troubled look: "Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, I don't dare to let you go. Master said, I want to keep you to work for our Beggar Gang! Master also said, your claws like hooks and sickles will hurt people, so don't allow it."
I am approaching you; Master also said that if you are fed, you will have the strength to break free from the rope and run away.
You see, I come here quietly every day to bring you food, already hiding the truth from Master... What? You said you would never run away? Just tied up to make you feel uncomfortable? That won't work. If you don't keep your word, you will fly away.
Without the shadow, the master will definitely tie me to a jujube tree and starve me for three days and three nights, and I will not be allowed to learn the sword..."
Yang Chaoxi, who had a strong ear, listened to the child's chatter from a distance, like a chatterbox, and patiently explained to the falcon. He couldn't help laughing: "Little monkey, what are you doing there?"
The child called the little monkey was immediately frightened. He jumped half a foot high on the spot, and then fell to the ground again. Ignoring the pain in his buttocks, the little monkey quickly tucked the tile and the small cloth bag behind him and panicked.
Li said in a panic: "No, it's nothing, I'm talking to Xiaoxue!"
"Really?" Yang Zhaoxi teased, "When did my master say that he would starve 'Ta Xue' for three days and three nights? His claws were the golden sore medicine that my master personally gave me."
The little monkey suddenly drooped his face and said dejectedly: "Master, have you heard everything? Then can you let Xiaoxue go? He looks so pitiful!"
Yang Zhaoxi looked at the falcon standing on the ground, which was about the same size as a small monkey. He laughed again and said, "It? Is it pitiful? I think those eagles you caught are more pitiful."
The little monkey didn't know where the courage came from. He immediately raised his eyes, stared at Yang Chaoxi, and said confidently: "The sparrows are hateful! Every time Qi Niang is drying millet and beans, they will fly over in groups to steal.
They couldn't be blasted away, so I knocked them down. I used to bake them with my sister, and these days they are just a snack for Xiaoxue."
Yang Zhaoxi was not angry. He stroked the little monkey's disheveled hair and said with a smile, "How did you beat the bird? I never taught you this."
Like a magic trick, the little monkey took out a slingshot made of tree branches and beef tendons from his waist, and said in a show of force: "This is what I use! Huh! In the entire Beggar Gang, I am the only little monkey who can do this unique skill.
, called 'shot without miss'!"
Yang Zhaoxi looked at his serious look, vaguely as naughty as when she was a child, and couldn't help but joked: "So last time you met a vicious dog, why didn't you hit it with a slingshot?"
The little monkey looked blank, as if he had never thought about this problem. Suddenly he slapped his forehead and said angrily: "I was so scared that day, I forgot about it."
Yang Zhaoxi was afraid that he would blame himself for no reason and damage his Taoism, so he quickly changed the topic. Half seriously, half jokingly, he said: "Little monkey, can you understand what 'Taxue' says?"
The little monkey also scratched his head, thought seriously and said: "Master, in fact, I don't really understand. I told you, you can't laugh at me like my sister did... It's Xiaoxue, ah no
!When 'Taxue' looks at me, I know what it means. It actually can't speak! It can only hum, 'Goo, goo'. But when I look at it, I want to say something in my heart, and I often say
Before he finished speaking, he already knew everything!"
Yang Zhaoxi listened with great interest, and suddenly smiled calmly: "That's right! Little monkey, then you ask if it is a male or female bird? Where did it learn the etiquette of nodding and lowering its head?"
The little monkey did not doubt that he was there, and he turned around again, communicated with the shivering falcon, and then turned back and said: "Master, 'Taxue' said that it is a female bird, and the etiquette is to stay in Shaozhonghou, the camp.
I learned it when I was with that bad boy Shao Qinggang. He also said that Master is so scary and that he has murderous intent. Master, what is murderous intent?"
Yang Chaoxi's pupils shrank. Perhaps the little monkey's innocent heart is similar to Shimen's gift of "other minds", which is not too weird. But even "other minds" is only a magical power that can be used by people.
The little monkey can "hear" the falcon's thoughts, and the falcon can also "hear" the little monkey's thoughts. Then there is only one possibility: this bird is not only a demon cultivator, but also has extraordinary intelligence!
After several fierce battles yesterday, he was even possessed by Zhong Kui and killed a demon cultivator with strong magic skills. At this time, Yang Zhaoxi was more alert and sensitive to demon cultivators than before. If it weren't for another demon cultivator named Liu Xiaomu,
Xiu, became a Taoist friend with him, and left many good impressions on him. I am afraid that at this moment, Yang Chaoxi had already made a decisive decision, drew out his long sword, and wanted to kill the falcon on the spot.
Many thoughts flashed through him in just a moment. Yang Zhaoxi composed himself and said with a pleasant expression: "Murderous aura is the murderous aura that comes when the master wants to kill a person or a bird."
The little monkey listened attentively and nodded as if he understood something. When he turned around to look again, the falcon was unsteady and fell to the ground with a "pounce". There was only a look of horror in his eyes. Apparently he really understood.
What Yang Zhaoxi means.
The little monkey hurriedly hugged the falcon and said: "Master! Don't kill Taxue! I told it to listen to the master and stop catching people and harming others. Please, master!"
Yang Chaoxi sighed helplessly: "You feel sorry for it. That's fine! You will guarantee Tuxue's life. If it is safe and sound, it will be kept here to look after the home. If it causes trouble, Master will punish you first and then send it to the hospital."
Pluck the hair, wash it, and stew it to make soup."
The little monkey then rubbed his face against the frightened bird's head and responded obediently: "Yes! Taxue promises to be obedient. Huh? Master, where are you going?"
Yang Zhaoxi's voice came from afar: "I'll wait for you in the front yard! Let's see how you've been practicing your martial arts recently. If you don't succeed, master will punish you as well!"
The little monkey's excitement, which had just been high, suddenly waned again.
Southeast of Nanshi City, Yongtai Square is located in Qin Mansion.
The leader of the Beggar Gang, Long Zaitian, has changed from his usual slovenly appearance. His hair is neatly tied, and he is wearing a clean starched gray robe with conspicuous patches. He is currently sitting in the guest seat in the main room, holding a white porcelain tea bowl in his hand.
Look at it again and again.
Tianji Protector Qin Xiangchu pretended to be calm: "I have always heard that the leader of the Dragon Gang, Shenlong, has always seen the head but not the tail. When I saw it today, it turned out to be extraordinary. If you like these tea sets, Mr. Qin will send someone to pick up a new set and pack them for the leader of the Dragon Gang to have at his leisure.
Just for fun."
Long Zaitian turned around and said with a smile: "The old beggar is used to being shabby! He can't use these precious things. How about turning them into silver coins? There are still hundreds of mouths in the gang, and they are waiting for rice water to be eaten every day.
!”
Qin Xiangchu laughed and said: "Long Gang leader is joking, money matters are easy to discuss. This errand is difficult, even if the foot fee is doubled, it will be fine. It's just that the weather is getting hotter, if the dead brothers in the sect are exposed,
In the corpse wilderness, even if it has not been eaten by mountain beasts, it will probably start to rot."
Long Zaitian knew that he was actually quite anxious in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and he stopped showing off: "The payment from Mr. Qin Dashan is already quite a lot, just follow the rules of the market. But the old beggar has another one."
I'm sorry to ask you, but I hope that if the matter here is over, the good man Qin will be willing to lend a hand to help."
When Qin Xiangchu saw that the conversation was getting to the point, he smoothed his beard and said, "Master Long, please speak!"
Long Zaitian drank the tea soup in one gulp, put down the tea bowl and said: "The old beggar has long wanted to build a 'Jishan Hall' to shelter poor people and provide for widowers. However, the little money he has saved by begging for many years is not enough.
I want to buy a decent house. That’s why I hope that Mr. Qin will pull out a few hairs and be able to accomplish this. Everyone in the Beggar Gang will be grateful!"
Tan Xiangchu was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that the old beggar had such a grand plan in his heart, so he raised his hands and said in respect: "The leader of the Dragon Gang is concerned about the difficulties of the people. It is a great good thing! Mr. Tan has a small amount of money, so this matter comes naturally
Immediately respond. However, I have something to say that needs to be said first. As the saying goes, "Rescue the emergency but not the poor", it is all because of the principle of "raising rice to nourish kindness, fighting rice to nourish hatred". Although Gang Leader Long's move is a great kindness, it is also
There is a suspicion of "rescuing the poor and nourishing the enemy". Moreover, the "Jishantang" is easy to build, but it is difficult to maintain the good deeds. Therefore, once the "Jishantang" is completed, it will be a bottomless box. No matter how much food and property is invested, it may not be possible.
Filled to the brim."
Long Zaitian was displeased and said: "This is the simple view of being rich and unkind! A wise man accumulates good deeds and becomes virtuous, and a rich man will spend his money. I am good on my own, so why should I cherish my wealth? Great good man, you only say what is acceptable and what is not, and there is no need to say anything else.
Word!"
Tan Xiangchu smiled bitterly in his heart, as expected, "loyal words offend people's ears, but sweet words win people's hearts." Just as he was about to change a few words, he heard a chuckle coming from the study on the left: "Haha! Since ancient times, people with good intentions and bad deeds have been as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river.
Gang Leader Long doesn’t believe in evil, so he dares to make a bet with me...ahem! Make a bet with me?"
Long Zaitian's thick eyebrows furrowed: "How come a woman, a Taoist, comes to comment? Mr. Qin, the rules in your house of respecting the elders and the younger are a bit commonplace!"
Qin Xiangchu was confused and didn't know what the holy aunt meant. Just as he was about to salute and greet him, he saw Liu Xiaomu walking out of the study. An invisible energy shot into his palms, and the hands that were about to be raised paused and then dropped down.
, huddled in the sleeves of the robe, shaking in pain.
Liu Xiaomu smiled sweetly: "I am the distant cousin of Shopkeeper Qin, the daughter of the Liu family in Hedong. Sheng Chao has never looked down on women, so why does Gang Leader Long have such a prejudice in his heart? Could it be that Gang Leader Long doesn't dare to bet with this girl because he is worried about winning?
If you don’t use force, you will be ashamed of yourself if you lose?”
Long Zaitian was not angry but smiled: "How to provoke generals? Humph! Since Miss Liu has such a taste, the old beggar will make a bet with you, so please make a clear decision!"
Liu Xiaomu had a plan in mind: "It's quite simple. Since it is to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, the leader of the Dragon Gang will find two poor families, preferably in similar situations. It will be limited to ten days, and then you will do your way, and I will do mine. Just look at ten
In the future, which family will be greedy and which family will be grateful?"
Long Zaitian said disdainfully: "What's so difficult about this! Nowadays, the officials are corrupt, and the most indispensable thing in the market is the poor. How can a pampered rich lady like you know the sufferings of the people? You must
Definitely lose!"
Liu Xiaomu was even more interested: "Oh? If I lose, today's help will be a lot of money. Not only will the Jishan Hall be built for you, but the daily expenses will also be borne by the Qin Mansion
.But what will happen if you lose?"
Long Zaitian suddenly stood up and said with a stern look: "If the old beggar loses, my beggar gang will not take a cent of the foot payment given by the Qin Mansion today and will refund it in full. In addition, the old beggar will never mention the 'Jishantang' again."
Things!"
Liu Xiaomu also walked forward, his eyes unflinching: "Is it settled?"
"It's a deal!" After Long Zaitian finished speaking, he waved his patched sleeves and walked out of the main hall. At the end, he said, "Hundreds of members of the Beggar Gang are already waiting outside the Dingding Gate, waiting for you.
Sent by a great good man."
Liu Xiaomu stood gracefully, watching Long Zaitian leave with a playful smile on his face.
