Phoenix and Dragon

In the midst of the darkness, the Shizi could only see a pair of wolfdog-like eyes shining brightly, but the brightness was obviously blue due to starvation.

Li Mingyuan felt helpless when he saw this young child. He just sat cross-legged on the floor, patted the seat beside him, and handed a bowl of rice and two dishes to the child.

"Let's eat." Li Mingyuan said, "I just ate, this meal belongs to you."

The child looked at Shizi, his eyes glistened, but he hesitated to speak.

Seeing the child's thin and small appearance, Li Mingyuan was a bit worried, thinking that he was afraid that if this matter got out, he would be beaten, so he immediately assured him: "I won't tell others, let's eat."

Unexpectedly, these words did not dispel the child's worries at all. His rolling eyes flicked back and forth between Li Mingyuan and the food, still with a very strong guard.

Li Mingyuan felt strange, and teased with a handsome smile that was slightly tough: "What? Are you afraid that I won't have enough to eat and starve to death?"

"No." The child was finally forced out by his smile, his voice was soft and bright, like a little girl, but what he said was firm, "Few people who come to this place get out alive Yes, I'm afraid it's poisonous."

Grandpa: "..."

Well, good intentions are like donkey liver and lungs.

Feelings, I haven't disliked you little beggar for eating my rations, but I told you little beggar to be picky about my situation.

The Shizi's liver was hurt by the child's two words, and he grabbed the chopsticks in the food box viciously, and took a big bite of every dish. He ate the last bite of rice in such a hurry that he almost choked. After swallowing and breathing again, he gave the child a hard look, and stuffed the chopsticks into his hand: "Eat it, you won't be poisoned to death!"

After finishing speaking, Shizi didn't notice the child's surprised eyes at all, he twisted his body, leaned to the corner of the wall, closed his eyes and sulked.

The cell was silent for a moment, and the sound of gobbling and eating could be heard everywhere.

Li Mingyuan turned his head and took a sneak peek, and found that the child was eating quite deliciously. Obviously, he was extremely hungry. Even his previous cautious appearance was thrown into the sky. After a while, a plate of food and a big bowl of rice That's it.

After a while, the sound of chewing did not stop, but the bowl and chopsticks were put on the ground with a "click".

The child wiped his mouth with unsatisfied intentions, chewing vaguely the food in his mouth that he hadn't had time to swallow: "I'm full."

The son of the world leaned over and took a look, feeling a little strange—a lot of rice and vegetables were eaten upside down, not to mention rice grains, there was not even vegetable soup left, but the meat and vegetables were skins and skins. All that was left on the plate.

The Shizi took another look suspiciously, and found that the meat dish was not completely untouched, but it was only slightly moved, which was not obvious at first glance.It turned out that all the broth of the meat dish had been drained, leaving only the meat on the plate.

Li Mingyuan looked up at the child, wondering, "What? Are you afraid that there is arsenic on this piece of meat? Didn't I show you just now, if you're still hungry, you'll eat it all."

Maybe it's because he's in a good mood when he's full, or because he thinks that Li Mingyuan is not a bad person who would give the delicious food to others. The child's guard has dropped a lot, and he is willing to talk to Li Mingyuan. He wiped his mouth and explained. Said: "No, I can't eat meat."

Li Mingyuan was taken aback by his answer, looked at the child's obviously hairy head and asked in confusion: "Are you a Taoist priest who became a monk? Or a bald...monk who hasn't had time to shave?"

After saying this sentence, I feel that it is not quite right. If I am a monk, I am afraid that I can’t even touch the meaty smell of the broth. Is it possible that this kid is greedy, so he reluctantly broke the precept. In this way, this kid is already considered a Very tolerant.

However, the child shook his head again: "The master said that if you eat too much meat, your throat will make noise."

Li Mingyuan was taken aback for a moment before realizing what the child meant: "Are you studying opera?"

Actors who rely on their voices to eat have their own ways of maintaining them. I heard from a famous actor who has been popular in the capital for many years that his secret recipe for maintaining his voice is to contain Sydney slices in his throat. How many famous Liyuan shop bosses , I have never had much meat in my life, even Qin Feng - I ate at the same table with him, and saw that most of his food was vegetarian, the kind with less oil, less salt and less taste, Li Mingyuan once thought it was his personal taste , Now that I think about it, I realize that this is probably a habit.

There is no job that is not difficult, but in the vain industry of Liyuanxing, there are few people who gain both fame and fortune, and many people who are unknown, and no matter whether they are famous or unknown, the crimes they suffered from practicing kung fu since childhood or the superciliousness brought about by their status No child is less than others.

The son of the world suddenly thought of Qin Feng. When he was forced to learn opera when he was living abroad, was he also lacking in food and clothing like the child in front of him? Did he ever feel like he was afraid of being punished, and even ate a mouthful of meat? Don't dare to touch it?

Li Mingyuan couldn't imagine what kind of unimaginable childhood Qin Feng's little prince, who was supposed to be well-clothed and pampered, had experienced in a place where none of them could see.

The child couldn't know what the son of the world was thinking at all, and suddenly heard the word "learning opera", thinking that Li Mingyuan also had a pair of snobbish eyes and didn't take an actor as a person, he was a little unhappy at once, and got up with a grunt: "You still Eat or not, or I will leave."

The son of the world is always a bit slow in trying to figure out his mind. He used to be unable to guess Qin Feng's, but now he has been reduced to the point where even a child can't figure it out. Being prevaricated by the child's two faces, he just feels that he is feeding himself. He picked up a little white-eyed wolf and snorted: "If you're full, will you turn your face and deny anyone?"

The child had a tiger's face and didn't answer.

The son of the world does not have the small nose and eyes to care about with a child, he has been reduced to the point of a prisoner, and he is not so particular about the poverty of the sons and brothers. Li Mingyuan does not dislike the bowls and chopsticks that the child has eaten, so he picks them up very naturally. He unambiguously took two mouthfuls of the dish that was still warm, and said calmly: "Oh, this taste is okay but a bit salty, next time I will tell the cook to make it lighter."

The child looked at Li Mingyuan's natural look, and was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed: "I... Master only asks me to deliver meals, and doesn't allow me to talk to outsiders."

Li Mingyuan's eyes flickered, and he still ate with his head down, as if he was gossiping: "Oh, it's okay if you don't talk about troubles. When I was not locked in, the food I ate was not much different from this. Where did you get your food? Made it."

No matter how smart the child is, he is still a child. He didn't understand the meaning of the old man's cliché at all, and he confessed everything without a good mood: "This is the main altar of Hongmen, and Mrs. Wuyun personally explained your food, so you must be right."

Li Mingyuan's heart moved after hearing this.

Hongmen is a word that I have never heard of, although it is not new to Shi Ziye.

The Shanhe Society was founded in the last years of the former dynasty and the early years of the Jin Dynasty. It is not possible to test who the specific founders are.

However, it has the same meaning as asking for an ancestor to ask for an ancestor in 360 lines. The surname of the ancestor declared by the Shanhe Association to the outside world is Hong, and it is customary that the entire Shanhe Association is a disciple of the Hong family, so it is also called "Hongmen".

Since this is the main altar of the Hongmen, then this is the main altar of the Shanhe Society.

The son of the world chewed the meat in his mouth and thought, this time he has really entered the lair of this group of people, but he really answered Lan Cai's crow's mouth, "I don't want my children to be caught by wolves, and my daughter-in-law can't be caught by wolves." rogue."

The son of the world did not have the consciousness of being a little wife at all. If you don't have the heart, how can you get a tiger's son, and if you want to enter the tiger's den, you have to pretend to be a grandson.

However, the grandson doesn't pretend to be able to pretend if he wants to. This mainly depends on who the grandpa is.The son of the world has already quietly pondered how to break through this dragon's pond and tiger's den in this broken prison cell.

The children on the other side couldn't understand the unpredictability of the grandpa's calm expression. Seeing that Li Mingyuan had to grind his teeth three times when he ate a bite of meat, he only thought that his teeth were not good, or that Sanyue didn't know the taste of meat was savoring this meat carefully. middle taste.

Cannibals have short mouths and short hands.

The child had just been bribed by Li Mingyuan for a meal, and he was too embarrassed to rush him, so he had to chat with him: "Why did Mrs. Wu Yun arrest you? Are you going to be punished for doing something wrong?"

This sentence brought back Li Mingyuan's mind: "Yeah? Has anyone else been arrested? I can't see the outside with my broken land."

The child sat next to him with his knees in his arms and tilted his head to look at him: "In the past few months, many people were arrested by the general altar, many were beaten to death for doing wrong things, and many others said they would never come back. , are you with them?"

Li Mingyuan thought for a while, and guessed that these people were all sent by the Shanhe Association to the capital. After Qin Feng and Xiao Yu's large-scale purges in the capital, there were not many credible people among them. They were all brought back.

Hearing the child's question, Shizi just shook his head and asked: "I am not the same thing as them, but in fact it is the same. Besides arresting adults, are there any children around your age?"

The child's eyes dodged: "Master's subordinates are all about my age."

"Oh?" Li Mingyuan asked, "Are there any others younger than you?"

But the child's eyes immediately became wary after this sentence: "You have too many questions."

Li Mingyuan looked at his attitude and judged the inside of this child - he didn't know much about Shanhe Society's meticulous work. He might be one of the children that Shanhe Society planned to cultivate into a meticulous workman, but he was not one of them after all. So it's hard to tell where those people came from.

However, he knew about the missing children in Jiangling City.

Before the Shizi broke in, he kept the word saving people in mind, and he was unwilling to let go of any clues, but seeing that the child was already on guard at this time, and he couldn't act too hastily, he had to change the topic and said impatiently: "How can I say a few words?" I'll be beaten if I talk, I don't want to say anything, when will you come to bring me food, no one talks to me in this poor place, I'm going to grow hair if I'm idle here."

The child's expression relaxed a little, and before he could speak, he heard the knocking sound of the iron gate suddenly sounding sky-shattering.

The child swiftly threw everything into the food box, leaned over and whispered in Li Mingyuan's ear, "I'll come to you at night."

Immediately afterwards, he nimbly dodged and got out through the crack of the iron door.

The iron door slammed shut.

Li Mingyuan sat back to his original place, curled his lips, and closed his eyes to meditate.
