Chapter 206 Return to Luoyang
Guan Shan took a few steps and saw a little beggar running from behind him, who knelt down in front of Guan Shan with a plop."I've bought the buns, don't bother me anymore!" Guan Shan said to him.
He remembered that the little beggar was the one on his left just now, shouting "Uncle, please be kind, I haven't eaten for several days." It was him.
"I don't want buns, I want... to be a hero like you!" said the little beggar, knocking his head.
"Oh?" Guan Shan looked at the little beggar carefully.
He was blind in one eye, his hair was messy and smelly, his clothes were tattered and barely covered his body, his exposed skin was covered with psoriasis, and he knelt in front of Guan Shan in a dirty state.
Such a person also wants to become a hero?
"Why do you want to be a hero?" Guan Shan looked at him and said.
"A hero can help others."
"You can't even survive now." Guan Shan said again.
"So... I want to be a hero! I beg you to accept me as your disciple!" The little beggar kowtowed again.
"..."
Guan Shan was silent. If he hadn't been going to Luoyang, he would have taken him back to Yangzhou.
The beggar in front of him is a good candidate for a position as a Sikou.
"Go to Yangzhou! Find Huang Xuesu at Qingshan Martial Arts Academy in Jicheng, Yangzhou, and tell him that Guanshan asked you to come." Guanshan helped the little beggar up and said.
"Yangzhou?" The beggar who was blind in one eye was stunned and said, "Blame Yangzhou."
"Yes! Go to Yangzhou! Yangzhou can take you in." Guan Shan said.
"But... I want to be a hero!" said the little beggar.
"Then you have to go to Yangzhou. Only Yangzhou can make you a hero!" Guan Shan said seriously.
Although Yangzhou still has many shortcomings, it is better than Xincheng.
"Yangzhou... is so far away." The little beggar was a little hesitant. He grew up in Xincheng and had never left Jicheng.
"In order to become a hero, are you afraid of the distance?" Guan Shan asked with his head down.
"How is that possible! Of course I'm not afraid." said the little beggar.
"Then go ahead! What's your name?" Guan Shan suddenly remembered that he didn't know the little beggar's name.
"Gousheng." said the beggar who was blind in one eye, "They all call me that."
Despicable names like Goudan, Gousheng, Wangcai, and Zhuwazi can be found everywhere among the lower classes in the underworld.
Huang Goudan is lucky, at least he has a surname.
The beggar in front of me is probably really an orphan and doesn’t even have a surname.
After Guan Shan heard this, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have a connection with Huang Xueshu from Qingshan Martial Arts Academy. You should go to Yangzhou."
"Can I...can I take them with me?" Gousheng pointed at the other beggars hiding outside the corner in the distance.
They were originally leaning against a wall with their heads stretched out, looking at Gousheng and Guanshan. When they saw Guanshan turning his head to look at them, they were so scared that they retracted their heads.
"Yangzhou is big enough to accommodate you. I'm going to the north, and I hope we can meet in Yangzhou in the future!" Guan Shan said to the little beggar.
He did not give them any money, which would have increased their danger.
Gousheng, who was blind in one eye, watched Guanshan finish speaking to him and then walked towards the inn in the distance.
He knew that Guanshan had done his best. They stole from him, but he bought them buns and showed them a way.
"Gou Sheng, Gou Sheng! What did he say? He didn't accept you as his apprentice?"
"Yes! Did he buy more buns?"
Gou Sheng looked at his friends and said, "He asked me to go to Yangzhou."
"No, no, Yangzhou is very far away."
"We have nothing. We will die on the way, right?"
"Gou Sheng, isn't it good in Xincheng?"
Gou Sheng said: "I want to go, I want to see, I want to be a hero!"
"Gousheng, you're blind, and you still want to be a hero?"
"Gousheng, it's very dangerous outside!"
"Gou Sheng, you can never become a hero, so you'd better stay in Xincheng!"
Gou Sheng looked at them and said hesitantly: "Don't you want to go to Jicheng, Yangzhou?" "No, it's too far!"
"I don't want to go!"
They all shook their heads.
“……” Gou Sheng was silent for a moment. He thought others were the same as him.
"But I want to go. I want to be a hero."
The next day, it was dawn.
Gousheng took some dry food, which was a few buns that he didn't want to eat yesterday, and set off towards Jicheng in the southeast direction.
Guan Shan and he went in another direction, and he continued on his journey north.
Xin Cheng's episode made him better understand what Dean Shi meant by the omnipresent ghosts, and also understood the purpose of clearing out the bullies and gangs in Yangzhou.
There are too many people like the little beggar in the world, and they are too common.
But there are very few little beggars who want to be heroes and help others.
There are really all kinds of people in the world.
I just don’t know where people like Dean Shi come from.
He vaguely realized that Dean Shi seemed different from other people. He saw different things, thought different things, and did different things.
If Dean Shi didn't have the same head as them, with two eyes, one nose, two ears, and one mouth, they would look like a human.
He even suspected that Dean Shi was a transformed monster.
It's so weird!
Fortunately, this kind of monster seems to be better for the world.
He was thinking about all these messy things as he rushed all the way and finally arrived in Luoyang.
The home he used to live in.
Guan Shan looked at Luoyang on the banks of the Luo River and saw a ray of light rising from a place in the city.
Holy and sacred, it was very much like the light emitted by the wise believer encountered before.
Before entering Luoyang, Guan Shan felt that something was wrong with Luoyang.
It should be said that the people from Luoyang are not quite right.
"Brother, where are you going?"
"I went to the eastern suburbs and bought an old hen."
"How to eat it!"
"You can eat while squatting. There is meat and soup. Can you come to my place for lunch?"
"No, I'm going to my father-in-law's place later!"
"Oh, you're going there empty-handed? No, take this chicken from me! You can't go to your father-in-law's house empty-handed!"
"That's not right, that's not right!"
"That's right, your father-in-law is my father-in-law, we are brothers..."
"No. My father-in-law doesn't eat chicken..."
"That's a shame! The chickens in the eastern suburbs are big and fat."
"Brother, you are so polite. Why don't you come with me to my father-in-law's house for lunch? After all, we are brothers..."
Guan Shan watched as two strangers went from being strangers to chatting briefly, then laughing and joking with their arms around each other's shoulders, and then pushing and shoving each other, being polite to each other, and then separating at the intersection, each going their own way.
?
Guan Shan was confused. What was going on?
What do you mean your father-in-law is my father-in-law, and we are all brothers!
They are obviously two strangers!
I haven't been back to Luoyang for a few years. Has Luoyang changed so much?
Are they always so polite?
Something is wrong!
What happened in Luoyang?
Luoyang, I’m back from Guanshan!
