Looking for Gong Ji

"Here, little fish, have something to eat."

Xie Xuanyi was sitting in the lobby, teasing Xie Qianyu who had turned into a beast in full view.

He rubbed Xie Qianyu's hair with one hand, spread the red bean cake in his palm with the other, and watched with a smile as his younger brother stuck out his tongue shyly and rolled it into his mouth, chewing it.

Xie Xuanyi was greatly benefited by the envious or surprised gazes around him. He patted Xie Qianyu's fluffy head, and his smiling face was a bit smug.

For Xie Xuanyi, being able to show off in public that he has such a beautiful and majestic younger brother is really a joyful thing.

"It's you again, you unlucky white-haired ghost! Get out of here, and don't hinder our business!"

At this moment, everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by a scolding in front of the inn.

Xie Xuanyi followed the prestige, and saw a man with white hair and a black cloth over his eyes standing outside the inn door, leaning on an old bamboo pole in his hand, he begged humbly, "Boss, Please do me a favor, enjoy the food. I haven't eaten for two days, I can't hold it anymore..."

At this time, Xie Xuanyi and the others were still within the territory of Yingyang. As the former emperor of this country, Xie Xuanyi couldn't help feeling a little sad.

I think that when he was in power, with the help of Xie Cangqiong, Yingyang was in full swing. Officials at all levels always said that the world was peaceful and peaceful, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. ... How can this situation make the people live and work in peace and contentment? !

Although the white-haired man begged hard, the inn clerk still just sneered at him, "Go away, go away! You white-haired ghost full of bad luck, you better die sooner! By the way, the old men who bought you There are so many dead, why are you still alive! Hmph, I see, you must be born of a monster, since you are a monster, why do you eat anything!"

Hearing the guy swearing like that, the people around him nodded their heads one after another, as if no one sympathized with the white-haired man.

Xie Xuanyi finally couldn't stand it anymore, he took the unfinished buns in his bowl and walked to the door.

"Why bully a poor man!" Xie Xuanyi softly reprimanded the guy, and stuffed the bun into the white-haired man's hand.

Only then did he see clearly that although the white-haired man was full of silver hair, he was not very old. He was even very handsome. .

Xie Xuanyi was fascinated immediately.

The guy was very embarrassed by Xie Xuanyi's scolding, but he couldn't lose his temper with the guests in the inn after all, so he had to apologize and said, "Guests, you don't know, this white-haired ghost is a scourge. Anyone who comes into contact with him There is nothing good for the people. When this person first came here, he was the favored slave of a certain big family in this town. However, it didn’t take long for the master of that family to be killed by wild beasts. Later, he was sold to another family. , still relying on selling his appearance for a living, unexpectedly, the master who bought him was also killed by wild beasts soon after, so again and again, no one dared to buy this scourge, and then the other party lived on the streets, willing to degrade for food and clothing, He often hangs out with gangsters on the street, begging for a bowl of hot food and a place to live, but..."

"It's just that those bastards who had sex with this white-haired ghost were also killed by wild animals one after another! So do you think he is a scourge or a devil?" Suddenly someone answered the guy's words, and the voice contained both Anger, more fear.

"Although our town is surrounded by mountains, forests and snow fields, there are indeed many wild beasts in it, but how come the wild beasts come to the town again and again to eat people! It must be the evil deeds of you white-haired ghost!"

The expression of the man who was claimed to be a white-haired ghost suddenly changed when everyone exposed his past, and his sorrow became even more desolate.

"I haven't done anything... The master of the government can prove my innocence."

It's okay not to say this, but once the words fell, everyone sneered.

"Hmph, if you hadn't sold your luster to buy the servants in the yamen, I'm afraid you would have died in it? Can you still beg for food here?! In short, you, the white-haired ghost who only provokes misfortune, should just get away. !" The man spat, and pushed the white-haired man again, as if he was bound to drive him away from the inn.

Xie Xuanyi listened to what everyone said in silence, and then carefully looked at this white-haired ghost who was treated like a demon.

The man was dressed in rags, and there were many old scars on the exposed arms and chest. It seemed that he had suffered a lot. Some of the scars looked like whiplash and stick wounds. He must have been implicated in those cases of wild beasts biting people, but that face, which was originally extremely handsome, seemed a bit humble because he had been squeezed out and bullied all the time.

Although it is a strange thing for wild beasts to appear in the town and attack people, but looking at the other party's humble and pitiful appearance, it is absolutely impossible for him to be a murderer who can control wild beasts to kill people. The ability to tame wild animals, after all, not everyone can have a younger brother who can turn into a wild beast and be obedient like himself.

"Okay, don't bully him. If he is really a murderer who can control wild beasts, wouldn't you people who bully him be the most dangerous?"

Xie Xuanyi smiled slightly, and cast a sideways glance at the menacing man. Sure enough, the man felt panicked after hearing his words, and the rest of the people who often bullied this white-haired man also began to feel a little uneasy.

"This……"

The man looked at the white-haired man who still looked humble and pitiful, and remembered the plight of those who were bitten to death by wild beasts, and finally dared not make any more noise, and the people around him also dispersed one after another, thinking that they all regretted the bullying in the past This white-haired man.

Regret, either out of fear, or out of conscience, doesn't help a man who's already been hurt.

Seeing that the crowd dispersed, Xie Xuanyi said to the white-haired man softly, "I think there will be fewer people bullying you in the future."

"Thank you benefactor for making the rescue."

Hearing Xie Xuanyi's gentle voice, the white-haired man hurriedly faced him and was about to kneel down. Seeing him, Xie Xuanyi smiled and helped the other person's arm, "There's no need to be too polite, it's just a little effort."

At this time, Xie Qianyu dragged the iron chain and walked over. He was full of energy, with his chest upright, his head held high, his golden eyes carefully sizing up the white-haired man in front of him, and his nostrils kept twitching. He walked, as if he was looking for a familiar smell.
