137: C137 Bull Cart

C137 Bull Cart

Daming Mansion, outside the Jinxia City.

Early morning.

The sky had just brightened up. On the main road outside the city, a worn-out cart was driven by the old man to the Prefecture City.

The cart was filled with fresh fruits and vegetables. There was also a little girl sleeping soundly. As the old man drove the cart, he looked back at his granddaughter from time to time. When he saw her sleeping soundly, he felt at ease, and his smile unconsciously increased.

Daming Mansion was the prefecture of the inner continent of Celestial Secret Dynasty. As the location of the former imperial capital, its geographical location was extremely superior, and it was a flat piece of flat land. Not to mention the beast tide, there were not many people who had seen demonic beasts in their lives.

The cart moved forward slowly. Not long after, the old man seemed to have found something in the grass in front of him. He immediately stopped and pulled the cow to a stop.

"Young man, wake up. Why are you sleeping here. . . "

The old man walked forward and saw a thin young man lying in the grass in front of him. He was not old but his face was very ugly. His beard was untrimmed and his face was dispirited. His face was unusually pale and there was no blood on his lips.

And looking down, This young man couldn't be considered to be wearing clean clothes. There were many gray marks on his clothes, which looked like shoe prints of different sizes. The young man's ribs also had some unusual dents. It was obvious that he had been broken by someone, which was why he had sunk in.

The old man was startled. He reached out to check his breath and found that he still had air, but it was already extremely weak. It was like a candle flickering in the wind, as if it would go out at any time.

He hurriedly patted the young man's cheek and pressed on his chest a few more times. He took out a water bottle and poured it into his mouth to feed him some water.

The old man was a farmer who had grown vegetables and had never seen anything like this in his life. These methods were also secretly seen by the bare-footed doctor in the village. He did not expect them to be of any use, but after pressing his chest a few times, the young man actually coughed twice and also coughed out the water that the old man had fed him.

"I. . . Where am I. . . "

The young man woke up at once. His consciousness was blurry and there was some panic in his daze.

"Don't panic, young man, I am not a bad person. . . "

When the old man saw that someone had woken up, he immediately laughed. He was extremely happy in his heart. As the saying went, saving one's life was better than building a seven-storied pagoda. He had done a good deed.

As he spoke, the old man helped the person up and said, "The sky has just brightened and the ground is very cold. It is also leaking air. Be careful of the cold that pierces into the bone. Quickly, quickly, come to my car to rest. This old man will send you into the city. . . "

He probably also realized that this old man did not have any ill intentions. After being at a loss for a moment, the young man also took the initiative to follow the old man towards the direction of the cart. After walking for a distance, he recovered some of his strength. When he reached the side of the cart, he did not need the old man to help him and got into the cart by himself.

"Oh. . . Lord, have we arrived. . . "

In the cart, the five or six year old little girl was woken up by the sound of the man getting into the cart. She rubbed her eyes and asked in a daze.

"It's not here yet. Niuniu, you can continue sleeping. Go to the side and give his uncle a space. "

The old man smiled kindly and pinched the little girl's face.

Then, he held the old yellow cow's hand, pulled his granddaughter, a cart of vegetables, and the young man that he had just picked up, and continued to rush in the direction of Jinxia City.

"What happened to you, young man? Why did you fall asleep in the suburbs alone?"

The old man asked as he rushed.

“. . . ”

The young man was silent for a moment, and he seemed to have recalled some unbearable past. His originally calm and dull expression suddenly became intense, and his breathing became much heavier. On his pale face and his pair of narrow and long eyes were suddenly covered in strands of blood.

He looked around, and his gaze fell on the old yellow cow. The yellow cow had a car, a few small cloth bags, and one of them had a hole in it. Under the reflection of the sun, a ray of orange light fell into the eyes of the young man.

Suddenly, the young man rushed forward and ripped off the small cloth bag.

. . . "Hey, what are you doing!"

The old man was shocked by the movement. He turned around and was shocked because the small cloth bag was in the old man's pocket. It was all the money that the old man had saved by working so hard to get up early and selling vegetables.

The young man took the cloth bag and opened it roughly. He found a lot of things inside. Finally, he saw what he wanted - a few pieces of silver and two copper coins. The reflective light he saw just now was caused by the two copper coins.

"Young man, why did you snatch my things, quickly put the money down. . . "

The old man became anxious. His dry face turned red. He pulled the old yellow cow to stop and was about to get into the car to snatch the money back from the young man.

"Don't move, old man. "

The young man picked up the sleeping little girl, Niuniu, and touched her with his other hand. Soon, he picked up a short knife used to cut fruits and put it on the little girl's neck.

The scene almost caused the old man's sky to collapse. His brain almost went blank. The hand holding the whip trembled twice and even the whip fell to the ground.

"What. . . What are you doing!? My old man saved you out of kindness, why are you doing this. . . "

The old man's lips trembled, and his hands trembled as he placed them in front of his chest. His entire body was bent, and he looked helpless.

In this simple and honest heart of this old farmer, he absolutely could not understand why this young man wanted to repay kindness with ingratitude, and even put a knife on his granddaughter's neck.

"Wuwuwuwu. . . "

The little girl Niuniu was woken up once again, and this time, when she opened her eyes, she saw a shining knife on her neck, and the uncle who got in the car even used his arm to tightly hold her, making the little girl almost unable to breathe. Her heart was shocked and scared, and she cried at that time.

"Stop arguing!"

The young man shouted at the little girl, and that little girl was instantly frightened. Her face was pale as she stood there, not daring to make any more sound. However, that little body was still constantly twitching.

The young man took a few deep breaths to calm his trembling fingers. Then he looked at the old man and said with a suppressed voice, "I don't want to do this either. . . But I am in trouble. It is a big problem. I need money. Give me all the money you have. Hurry!"

"I don't have any money left, it's all with you. . . "

The old man saw that the little girl was crying. He also cried out in pain and fear.

"You're lying!"

The young man suddenly raised his voice. With a voice that was close to a roar, he shouted at the old man: "Don't you want to take your granddaughter's life anymore!"

The old man's body trembled. When he saw the young man tighten his grip on the little girl's hand, he immediately remembered that his neck had turned red. In order to prove his innocence, he even took off his clothes and said, "No more. No more. Really no more. My old man doesn't have a single cent left. It's all with you! "

“. . . ”

The young man fell silent. When he saw that the old man did not have any money left, he let go of the little girl and placed her behind him. Then, he put away the money in his pocket.

He took a deep breath and considered the problem of the aftermath. He said, "I had no choice but to do so. Don't blame me, and don't report it to the authorities. If I knew, I would definitely. . . "

Before he could finish his threatening words, a faint voice sounded from the side of the road. "Will you come for revenge?"

"Who is it - -"

The young man was shocked. He looked towards the source of the voice and saw a figure in white walking towards him.

Although this young man did not know martial arts, he could tell from his body shape that he could not beat that muscular figure. Thus, he immediately picked up the knife and prepared to kidnap the little girl behind him. Although this might not be able to threaten others, at least he felt at ease.

However, for some reason. . .

The young man suddenly realized that his body was no longer under his control. In the surrounding air, there seemed to be some invisible force that bound him. The air seemed to have turned into an invisible large hand that tightly grasped him in the palm. At this moment, he was unable to complete any of the actions he wanted to do.

". . . Martial Artist! That's a martial artist. . . "

The young man's heart fell to the bottom of the valley in an instant. His heart turned cold, and his eyes revealed a look of despair.

In this world, the difference between an ordinary person and a warrior was like the difference between heaven and earth. Even if it was a warrior at the lowest level, it was not something that an ordinary person like him could fight against. Furthermore, that figure in white had an extraordinary aura. It was obvious that he was not ordinary at first glance. Who knew how high his cultivation would be?

Chu Yun walked to the front of the carriage and looked at the young man indifferently. He picked up the little girl who was so scared that she did not know what to do and gently rubbed her hair.

"It's fine, don't be afraid. "

Chu Yun comforted her softly, then carried the little girl in front of the old man.

The old man opened his mouth in surprise and joy, but he did not make a sound for a long time. He shakily reached out to take his granddaughter, and instantly cried out in excitement. He hugged his granddaughter and cried.

"Seeing this scene, don't you feel guilty?"

Chu Yun looked at the young man and asked faintly.

“. . . ”

The young man's body trembled and his expression became extremely complicated in an instant. He laughed bitterly and said, "I have also read sage books for a few years. If I was not really forced into a corner, how could I do such a thing? This unfair world, this wretched heavens! Aaaaah. . . "

As he spoke, The young man's emotions collapsed all of a sudden. He cried so loudly that tears were streaming down his face, and the mucus and tears on his face were mixed together, causing him to seem extremely miserable.

Chu Yun frowned slightly. Before he could react, the young man said what he had experienced while crying.

It turned out that this young man's name was Zhao Zhi. He was a scholar in Jinxia City. Although his family's condition wasn't good, it was enough for him to live a comfortable life. He had just married a wife two years ago, and his life was still considered warm.

However, a few months ago, Zhao Zhi had met some people outside who had come out to mingle. The reason was that he had a conflict with a street ruffian. At that time, a big ruffian had come forward to help Zhao Zhi.

In order to thank that big ruffian, Zhao Zhi treated him to a cup of tea. After a while, both parties got to know each other. After that, the big ruffian often went out to find Zhao Zhi to play.

And then. . .

Zhao Zhi was addicted to gambling.

At first, he and the big bully only went to the street stalls to play a few games. As a scholar, Zhao Zhi didn't want to touch these things that were insulting to him, but he couldn't resist his friend's warm invitation.

Zhao Zhi casually played a few rounds and actually won several rounds in a row. He grabbed the cards and touched the cards. He got whatever he wanted. His luck was very good, and he was addicted to gambling for the first time.

His hooligan friend also followed him and won quite a lot of money from the stall owner. When he went back, his hooligan friend called him Brother Zhao and said that he must bring his little brother to earn some money tomorrow. All kinds of false flattering words kept coming out. Zhao Zhi immediately felt smug when he heard this, and his heart swelled up.

A few days later. Although he had won and lost, he still won the most. His hooligan friend also 'admired' him even more, making Zhao Zhi feel extremely satisfied with his vanity.

Later on, his hooligan friend seemed to be disinterested in the money on the stalls, so he dragged Zhao Zhi to a very large gambling den.

Zhao Zhi had played for so many days and won for so many days. He thought that he was still a God of Gambling, so he naturally did not reject the invitation of the hoodlums' friends. After they went to the gambling den together, there were times when they lost and there were times when they won. At first, there were many times when they won, but later on, there were fewer and fewer. Later on, they practically lost once in a row.

However, the strange place was here. When he won, Zhao Zhi felt that he was very addicted and excited. He wanted to come again next time.

Even if he lost, Zhao Zhi was still very addicted. He even felt that his addiction was even greater.

Because he knew what it felt like to win. After losing, he became more and more unwilling in his heart. He also wanted to regain face in front of his hooligan friends, so he brought money again and again, and lost everything.

Suddenly, one day, Zhao Zhi returned home in a daze, feeling that something was wrong.

He couldn't find his wife.

He thought about it carefully and remembered that. . . In the bet last night, he lost the last copper coin in his house. In order to turn the tables, he bet on his wife. . .

And then. . .

And then. . .2

When he realized this, Zhao Zhi howled like a madman. He rushed out of his house and went to the gambling den to ask for his wife. The result was obvious.

He was severely injured and thrown outside the city. The other party held the words that he had personally pressed on the handprint last night. On it, it was written that he had used fifty taels of silver to use his wife as a bargaining chip and lost. It was written in black and white, and even if he were to take it to the government, he would not be able to win.

The person who had beaten him up and severely injured him was the fellow who had called him brother and had frequently shouted 'Brother Zhao is awesome'.

At this moment, Zhao Zhi finally realized that from the beginning, this had been a trap to lure him in.
