The remote suburban junction of Yongzhou City.

An old factory building is next to the "workers' family home" with only four multi-storey buildings.

Adoptive mother Shen Qiuyue and sister Zhang Ning rented here.

Walking along the road, Long Zun observed the surrounding environment and couldn't help frowning.

The road covered with coal ash, the garbage heap that no one cleans up, the crooked signs, the old furniture that no one picks up, and discards at will.

Everything indicates that this place is a dilapidated slum.

The specific portal has been found.

Long Zun asked Tang Yong to wait outside the unit, and came to the corridor alone, facing the wooden door that had fallen paint.

Knock knock.

No one answered.

Long Zun is very strange, his hearing has surpassed the limits of humans.

Standing outside the door, even through the brick wall, you can perceive the slight sound of human breathing inside the room.

I knocked again, and just then, the person on the other side of the door opened the door with a creak.

A middle-aged woman wearing a floral coat and perming blonde hair poked her head out.

"Who are you?

Long Zun turned around.

"Does Zhang Ning live in this room?"

The hot-haired woman let out a long "oh", revealing a look of sudden realization, and looked Long Zun up and down.

"Young man, you don't look like a rich family, I advise you not to be deceived by that little girl. ”

"Liar?"

The hot-haired woman covered half of her mouth with her hand, with an expression of sharing gossip, and said excitedly:

"You must have been fascinated by Zhang Ning's girl, let me tell you, she is not a girl from a serious family. ”

Long Zun's face sank, and he said slowly, "What do you mean by this?"

"Hey, don't believe me, let me tell you, she's been going out every night for the past two months, do you know where to go? Tiger Bar! She doesn't come back until two o'clock in the middle of the night, and she goes to the night club every day, what kind of good girl can she be?"

"Moreover, in the past two days, at the point in time, a group of fierce men came to collect debts, saying that Zhang Ning owed them a large amount of money, and if they didn't pay back the money, they would beat people!"

The hot-haired woman couldn't help but snort.

"I see, Zhang Ning, this girl must be greedy for money, she lured a lot of money in the bar, cheated money and was arrested, and now she is blocked, and she will ...... in the future."

"Stop. ”

Long Zun's face remained unchanged, and his fingers lightly pointed at the middle-aged woman's neck, and coldly left the next sentence.

"Chew on the root of your tongue, I don't want to hear your voice for a month. ”

"Oh, you little ...... Ahem......"

After a few rapid dry coughs, the hot aunt suddenly found that she had lost her voice!

No matter how much you shout at the top of your voice, your throat can only produce some hoarse bits and pieces of bass.

Looking at the young man in front of him again, the fear on his face was overwhelming!

I'm afraid I've encountered a youkai!

Long Zun calmly turned around and knocked lightly on the door three more times.

"Xiao Ning, open the door, I'm your brother!"

A moment later, there was a sudden angry cry from inside.

"Your brother is dead!"

"I'm Long Zun. ”

There was a ping-pong bang, and it seemed that something had been broken inside.

Chirping.

The door gently pushed open a crack.

A beautiful girl's face, timidly looking out through the crack in the door, her big smart eyes full of alertness.

When Long Zun saw this familiar face that he hadn't seen for a long time, his heart was also slightly sour.

"Xiao Ning, brother is back. ”

The girl Zhang Ning looked at the person at the door again and again, her face gradually became excited, and a grievance welled up with tears, dragged the door open, and threw herself directly into Long Zun's arms.

"Woo...... Brother, it's really my brother back!"

Long Zun gently hugged the girl in his arms, his only sister, and didn't know how to comfort him for a while.

Letting Zhang Ning hug herself and cry for a while, Long Zun patted her on the back and said softly.

"Xiao Ning, let's go in and talk, I want to see Mom. ”

"Hmm...... Good. After Zhang Ning calmed down, he realized that he had been hiding in his brother's arms for too long, and he couldn't help blushing slightly.

Wiping her tears, Zhang Ning regained the liveliness of the girl, and her slender little hand led Long Zun into the house.

The family is surrounded by four walls, which is very suitable for the current living environment of the mother and daughter.

Just a few pieces of furniture, an old sofa.

Now that winter is about to begin, there is not even a warm fan at home.

"Xiao Ning, didn't Mom go to work today?"

"Brother, just go into the house and take a look, Mom is in good health now, and she is not ...... well"

Seeing that the girl's face was a little gloomy, Long Zun had a bad premonition in his heart.

Walking into the inner room, a middle-aged beautiful woman was lying quietly on the bed, her face was a little pale, but there were not many traces of time, it was her adoptive mother Shen Qiuyue.

Long Zun hurriedly stepped forward and found that his adoptive mother was just asleep.

Zhang Ning held Long Zun's hand tightly, looked at his mother, and couldn't help but shed tears again.

"Brother...... Mom, you may not have long to live. ”

Zhang Ning sobbed and told everything about what happened over the years.

After the Zhang family fell, the original business partners and friends were estranged, and in order to allow Zhang Ning to continue to go to school, Shen Qiuyue used the body of a mother to support the family with great difficulty.

I moved to a slum area, saved rent, and went to work in a black factory, doing some rough and heavy work with piecework wages.

My last job was sorting at a chemical plant, and after doing it for a while, I was unwell and always coughed.

When I went to the hospital for an examination three months ago, it turned out to be a malignant tumor in the lungs!

Since then, Shen Qiuyue can only lie in bed in order to recuperate, and often falls into a deep sleep, unable to wake up.

Zhang Ning just turned eighteen years old this year, and he secretly went out to work part-time from his mother before, and after Shen Qiuyue fell ill, he directly took a leave of absence and worked everywhere to make ends meet.

The daughter of the first wealthy family in Yongzhou, who was originally loved by thousands of people, has now fallen to the stage of dropping out of school to survive, which is really embarrassing.

"Are you going to work at that bar at night? When I came to knock on the door, I saw that you were careful, have you been in trouble for the past two days?"

Zhang Ning made a bitter face and nodded.

"Brother, I was brushing my glass in the bar at night, I was sleepy, two days ago, I accidentally knocked over a bottle of red wine, and the foreman in the store said that it was a precious Lafite, worth tens of thousands, and I had to pay for it. ”

"I really couldn't help it, I apologized desperately, but they all came to the house, and they had to come up with the money within three days, I was so scared, I didn't dare to go out, why did I rush to work." ”

Long Zun looked at his sister distressedly, no wonder he didn't dare to answer when he knocked on the door, an eighteen-year-old girl, who was not deeply involved in the world, suddenly appeared with such a huge debt, and was intimidated by others, she must be scared enough.

"Don't worry, Xiao Ning, my brother is back, no one can bully my sister anymore, no one can bully this family anymore. ”

Zhang Ning looked up at Long Zun, his delicate big eyes full of infinite trust and hope.

"Brother, I believe in you. ”

……

Long Zun lightly picked up his sleeping adoptive mother Shen Qiuyue with the quilt and walked out of the room with Zhang Ning.

The long-tongued woman with hot hair originally stretched out her head to observe in the corridor, but when she saw Long Zun appear, she was so frightened that she immediately retracted into the room, leaving only a crack in the door.

When I came to the door of the unit, I gently put my adoptive mother in the back seat of the wide car.

The big off-road is originally specially made, the back seat can be expanded into a bed, and there can be three extra seats.

"Tang Yong, call the hospital under the Jianghu Supervision Bureau in Yongzhou, arrange a best ward within 20 minutes, I will personally bring someone over, and in addition, buy a clean yard as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, Dragonhead. ”

Perhaps it was because of the backbone that Zhang Ning's mood became a lot more cheerful, looking at the black matte big off-road in front of him with a curious face, and looking at Long Zun's eyes full of admiration.

Tucked the quilt corners for the adoptive mother, and Long Zun and Zhang Ning were about to get into the car.

Suddenly, a rude shout came from behind.

"What's the matter? I found a helper, I don't pay back the money, and I want to run?"

……
