Chapter 70 Helper
Head?
Gang leader?
And the sect leader.
I never thought that these titles that sound shocking to people have anything to do with me.
I am just an ordinary person. I have a master but I don’t know how to be a bandit, but I can’t be cruel and ruthless. I once really hoped that I could make a sprawl in the world, but after all the way, I realized that this world is unfathomable and has not yet penetrated, but I already felt that it was treacherous and terrifying.
Later, I would rather be an ordinary person. A rich ordinary person, living a life of food and clothing without worries, a house, a woman, and a few children...
However, this night changed the trajectory of my life.
Because, that night, Bai Jingxing talked about the beggars and pushed me to the throne of the leader of the Beggars' Sect in one fell swoop.
It was dawn, and the sky turned white. The body of Ma Xiaoliu was lying on the ground.
Speaking of which, that night, Bai Jingxing and I rushed out of Louqin Inn and rushed to the main hall of the Beggars' Sect. When we arrived at the door, Bai Jingxing was stunned. I asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Bai Jingxing said: "I seem to have forgotten something."
I'm used to it. This old alcoholic may have deteriorated his memory because of drinking all year round. He would forget some things for a long time. Sometimes, he would sit in a place with a gilded gourd, staying blankly for a long time. Suddenly, he began to search around with an impatient expression.
When someone asks him, what are you looking for?
He said he was looking for a gourd.
Others say that the gourd is in your hands.
He stared at Hulu in a daze, and after a while, he started looking for it again.
Someone asked him again, what are you looking for?
He suddenly stopped and asked, "I'm looking for wine in the gourd?"
Li Xiaoqian said that he is a precursor to Alzheimer's disease.
Bai Jingxing stood at the door of the Beggars' Gang headquarters. He said that he had forgotten something. He emphasized that this matter is very important.
I asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
He said: "We should bring Ma Xiaoliu with us."
I was furious and asked, "Why didn't you say it earlier! We're all here!"
Bai Jingxing smiled and said, "I just remembered it."
On Xingye, we ran back to Louqin Inn and brought Ma Xiaoliu, who was scalded into a pig's head, to the Beggars' Gang's headquarters.
It was already late at night. The beggars were sleeping. There were a dark area under the altar, and there were six or seven hundred people. They were lying on the ground in a row.
The earth is their bed, and the night sky is their quilt.
The nights of this season are already a little cold. When the cold wind blows, many people hugged each other tightly in their sleep. Looking at this scene, I felt inexplicably sad.
"All up!" Bai Jingxing shouted with a dying voice.
The reactions off the field were different. Some people were very keen. They stood up suddenly when they heard the sound and then took offensive or defensive postures. Some people were a little slow. They rolled on the ground a few times, perhaps because they thought about it in a daze that they suddenly stood up.
There are also some people who are still sleeping, as if nothing is going to live.
Bai Jingxing shouted: "Call these people up."
He bent down politely and patted, and poked his feet without hesitation. After a while, he woke up.
I suddenly felt a chill, because I realized that Bai Jingxing and I were surrounded by seven or eight hundred beggars.
They all looked at each of them coldly, holding the wooden stick tightly in their hands, as if to regard us as enemies. Because Bai Jingxing was still holding their gang leader in his hand. Ma Xiaoliu, who was scalded into a pig's head, kept moaning in a low voice.
Bai Jingxing said: "I believe that you all know who I am?!" He did not leave any chance to respond to those people, and said directly: "Today, I will reveal something to you. That is, your leader... is a golden man!"
There was an uproar in the audience.
Bai Jingxing kicked Ma Xiaoliu's leg, and Ma Xiaoliu knelt on the ground. Bai Jingxing twisted Ma Xiaoliu's ear and said, "Hurry, say what you said during the day again!"
Before Ma Xiaoliu could finish his words, he was beaten to death by a group of beggars.
It cannot be said that these beggars have no suspicion. Perhaps, they do not completely believe that what we said must be true. It is just because Ma Xiaoliu manages the Beggars' Sect with his means of being inferior to others. The position of an elder of a Beggars' Sect can actually sell dozens of taels of silver. It is just that others are full of hearts. Beggars dare not speak out on weekdays. Now, their dissatisfaction with the gang leader is linked to the hatred of the country, and the resentment has finally been released, and their reason is therefore completely dissipated.
In short, Ma Xiaoliu is dead. There are no Beggars' Sect, a group of seven or eight hundred people.
Bai Jingxing pushed me to the front of the person and said, "It was this person who discovered the Jin man's trick. He is the benefactor of your Beggars' Sect."
His words made me feel more comfortable. Although this was not what Bai Jingxing said. However, I still felt like a hero, enjoying the gratitude and respect that a group of beggars cast to me.
Bai Jingxing also said: "Now, there are no groups of beggars, and I recommend this person as the leader of the Beggars' Sect."
What?! Want me to be the leader of the Beggars' Sect?!
I felt as if I was hit by Li Lei Pili, and my whole body was shocked. My heart immediately jumped to the top of my throat, so surprised that I couldn't even say anything.
The audience burst into pieces instantly.
At first, there were people from groups of three to three to one, but then they were drowned out by the vast sea of opposition.
"Why? He is not from our Beggars' Sect!"
"Isn't this person the one who insulted our Beggars' Sect a few days ago?"
"He looks down on us, why should he be the leader of our Beggars' Sect?"
"Yes, we can't agree."
The opposition was heard one after another. Some people's emotions had changed from initial excitement to anger, and some of them began to insult.
The benefactor who was grateful a moment ago has become the target of public criticism.
My mood also fell to the bottom, and my panic made me retreat continuously.
Bai Jingxing held his hand against my waist and whispered: "Why back?! Stand in front!"
I said, "They will kill me."
Bai Jingxing said: "With me here, what are you afraid of?!"
Indeed, I shouldn't have a reason to be afraid of having someone like Bai Jingxing who has a very high martial arts skills support me. However, the scene in front of me and Bai Jingxing's mind made me unable to help but want to retreat.
What if, when everyone rushed up, he forgot his martial arts?
I began to worry.
Bai Jingxing shouted loudly: "Listen to me!"
The almost boiling discussion in the audience gradually stopped. People looked at Bai Jingxing and stared at me.
I was still so nervous that I was dying. Bai Jingxing said, "This man is pure and kind-hearted. He exposes the Jin people's evil plan and prevents the Beggars' Sect from the disaster. It can be said that he saved all of you. It is perfect for him to be the leader of the gang."
An elderly beggar stood up and said, "The leader of our Beggars' Sect should be chosen from the people of our Beggars' Sect. Why should an outsider be our gang leader?"
"Not bad!" A large group of people began to echo.
Bai Jingxing said: "Who said that if you are not a member of the Beggars' Sect, you cannot be the leader of the Beggars' Sect? Before I became the leader, I was not a disciple of the Qingyun Sect. There should be those who can do it as a leader. As long as it is beneficial to the Beggars' Sect, why bother to be a member of the Beggars' Sect?"
"You said he has the ability. What ability does he have?" Someone questioned again.
At this moment, I felt as if I was being stripped off by everyone layer by layer. What Bai Jingxing was doing was to put a false coat on me layer by layer, just to make me look extraordinary in front of them and be competent for their gang leader.
Bai Jingxing pointed to Ma Xiaoliu's body and said, "This is a good proof! He can not only see through this man's evil plan, but also capture him in front of you. Can't it be said that?"
"But he is not a beggar." Someone shouted.
Bai Jingxing said: "Who would be a beggar for the rest of your life?! If the ravages of war caused you to be displaced, who would be a beggar?!"
The audience suddenly became silent.
Who would be willing to be a beggar?!
Such a heart-wrenching question hit everyone's pain.
Bai Jingxing said: "In this world, maybe someone can give you a bowl of cold rice, maybe someone can give you a few taels of silver, but this person can give you peace. He will take you out of the Beggars' Sect and rebuild your house so that all of you will no longer be beggars!"
I said tremblingly: "This is so awesome!"
Bai Jingxing poked my back and whispered: "Shut up!"
However, the people in the audience began to cheer. They held their hands high, as if they were holding up hope high. They shouted "Gangmaster".
But my heart became heavier.
