C236 The Missing Hou Jian

Duan Tianya said with a smile, "It's hard for me to imagine how a person like you could become a beggar. "

The beggar looked at him and said, "It's also very hard for me to imagine that you would insist on coming to this lousy temple even though you have money. "

Duan Tianya smiled. He felt that this beggar in front of him was different from the others. What he said made sense. Although his tone didn't sound very good, every word he said was the truth.

Duan Tianya took out an ingot of silver and said, "I'll treat you to a drink. "

The beggar looked up and laid down again, saying: "You're not treating people to a drink, you're treating people to a meal of silver. "

Duan Tianya looked at the silver in his hand and could not help smiling bitterly. "This beggar is really a strange person. " So he said, "Then can you accompany me?"

Hearing this, the beggar sat up and said, "This is a good suggestion. I wonder how much silver you have?"

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "It's enough for you to drink. "

The beggar led Duan Tianya to a tavern. It was very remote here. The beggar turned around and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will rob you here?"

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "My people are not worth as much as my horse. "

The beggar looked at the horse and praised, "It is indeed a good horse. "

When they walked to a narrow path, they saw a few corpses lying on the ground. When they took a closer look, they saw that it was actually a few beggars from the dilapidated temple. After a careful count, there were actually quite a few of them. After looking at them, the beggar could not help but lightly sigh and say: "We're the lives of beggars. Why do we have to harm ourselves?"

Duan Tianya looked at the corpse of the beggar and said, "Did I harm them?"

The beggar looked back at him and said, "You want them to ascend to paradise early, or else they will suffer in the mortal world. " Saying so, he walked back to the tavern without looking back.

This tavern wasn't big, there were only four small tables inside. Rather than calling it a tavern, it was more appropriate to call it a farmer. A beggar might be a regular customer, so he naturally picked up two long stools and placed them on the table. After that, he heard a loud shout. "Zhang wife, quickly bring some food and wine. "

A woman walked out of the room. She was neither beautiful nor young, and she even looked a little haggard. She saw a beggar. She said happily, "Brother Li, you haven't been here for a long time. "

The beggar waved his hand and said, "I didn't have silver taels a few days ago, so I didn't come. " He didn't hide it. In this aspect, there weren't many people who were as straightforward as him.

The woman said, "Brother Li came here. Even if you don't have money, you can come at any time. "

When Duan Tianya heard this, it was like a pair of lovers flirting with each other, while he himself seemed to be in a lot of trouble.

The dishes were served very slowly. Although they were all stir-fried by farmers, it could be seen that they were all meticulously prepared.

When the dishes and dishes were served, the beggar poured himself a cup of wine. He did not fill Duan Tianya's cup. Instead, he drank another cup after drinking a cup.

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "How's the wine here?"

The beggar said, "The wine here is brewed by themselves. It is sweet and mellow. "

Duan Tianya said, "The mellow is understandable. Where does this sweetness come from?"

The beggar looked at him and asked, "You did not drink?"

Duan Tianya said, "Of course I didn't drink. "

The beggar said, "You didn't drink because I didn't pour you any wine?"

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "Even if you pour me wine, I still won't drink. "

When the beggar heard that, he drank the wine in the cup and said, "This wine is the best. "

Duan Tianya said, "Just because it was brewed by this woman?"

The beggar nodded and said, "Yes. " Then a painful expression appeared on his face, as if he liked something but could not get it.

Duan Tianya said it with one sentence, "It seems that your relationship with this woman is not ordinary?"

The beggar did not hide anything and said, "I am different from the beggars who died. I am a local. I am a poor local. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "This seems to have nothing to do with you and that woman. "

The beggar drank another glass of wine and slowly said, "This woman's surname is Li. She originally wanted to marry me, but my family fell into decline and could not afford the betrothal gifts. In the end, I could only watch her marry someone else, but I was powerless. " After saying that, she sobbed silently.

After a moment, the beggar asked again: "Am I a coward?"

Duan Tianya was stunned. He did not know how to answer his question. He was not a judge, so he could not judge others' right and wrong. Everyone had their own difficulties, and most of the time, they could not be generalized.

Duan Tianya could only remain silent. Perhaps the beggar had drunk too much, so he slowly told Duan Tianya his story.

It turned out that the woman had lost her man a few years ago. The beggar had been silently paying attention to him. Although both of them knew each other's hearts, they could not break it.

In the end, it was just that the beggar was too poor. However, the woman did not dislike him for being poor. It was just that the beggar felt that he was not worthy of that woman.

When he was almost done drinking, the beggar was unconscious. Duan Tianya got up and left. When he left, he briefly exchanged a few words with the woman. It made the woman cry.

The next day, the beggar put on the groom's clothes. He looked handsome, and the woman was already sitting firmly in the sedan.

Duan Tianya did not participate in their marriage. He only paid a bit of silver. In his opinion, it was better to tear down ten temples than to destroy a marriage. Thinking about it, it could be considered doing good deeds to accumulate good karma.

He still had things to do. He wanted to find someone who was at least a loyal person in his heart. However, he did not see him when he was at the Moonlit Land.

This person was Hou Jian Tian Gou. Where did he go? Why did he not appear in the Alliance Master's Meeting? Could it be that there was something else hidden behind this?

Duan Tianya rode his fine steed to the Golden Snake Hall. Before he entered, he saw Liao Qingshu. When he saw Liao Qingshu, he asked, "When I was in the Alliance Master's Meeting, why didn't I see Hou Jian?"

When he heard Hou Jian's name, Liao Qingshu's face turned serious and said, "Follow me!"

The two of them came to a room. There was everything inside, especially the big bed. It was particularly eye-catching. There was a person lying on the bed, both of his hands had been cut off. Looking closely, it was Hou Jian.

"What's going on?"

Liao Qingshu said, "His hands were cut off by Peng Sung. "

Duan Tianya was shocked. "Peng Sung did it so hard?"

Liao Qingshu said, "Of course not. It was a move that injured both sides. In the end, Hou Jian lost. "

Duan Tianya asked, "Then why didn't there be any news before?"

Liao Qingshu said, "Hou Jian told us again and again that we can't let the Jianghu people know about his injuries. He would rather die than let this news spread. "

Duan Tianya walked up to him and felt his pulse. His breath had been cut off. He said sadly, "He is already dead. "

Liao Qingshu said, "This is also good. We don't have to suffer those crimes. "

Hou Jian's long hook was buried with him beside Woo Sian. Both of them felt a little pity for the two of them. One was a defeat that everyone in the Jianghu knew about, and the other was a defeat that only a few people knew about. However, both of them were so heroic.
