If the problem of food is solved, the problem of housing must also be solved. After the curfew at night, if you encounter a wanderer on the street, you will inevitably have to check it out. If the messenger is not happy, he will be taken to the government and put in prison.

The existing spirit stones on their bodies are not enough, and besides, the prices here are not the same as those in the town, and they are ridiculously expensive everywhere. It's also strange that when Ning Yuanru went to Duobao Pavilion to change the spirit stones, they didn't change some together, so that now they are restricted everywhere. Poverty is indeed the main culprit of the restrictions on movement.

"Boss, can we let the two brothers stay with you for the night? We came out to visit our relatives and walked the doorway, and when we first came to this city, we didn't know the way. The money on his body is not enough for accommodation. Wang Qingyun suddenly said to the noodle stall owner.

"Don't worry, we give money, but we don't have much on us now. It's just going to be one night. Wang Qingyun said with some hope. After all, no matter what, you have to try it when you have the chance.

Hearing this, the boss looked embarrassed.

"Two, it's not that our family doesn't want to help, it's just that there are only two rooms in the house. My mother is seriously ill and lives alone, and my wife and children live in one room, so there is really no extra room for the two of us to stay. ”

It turns out that the boss is also a hard worker.

The two exchanged glances, and both shook their heads with wry smiles. It seems that I can only go to the government office tonight to squat.

After putting away the dishes and chopsticks casually, the two said hello to the boss and planned to leave.

"Eh, two little brothers, etc. Ling Chen and the others were about to leave, but they were stopped by the boss.

"There is a patio at home, if the two of you don't dislike it, let's be there for a night for the time being. The boss said.

If you are caught by the patrol officer at night, you will inevitably be interrogated. In case of encountering a ripper, I am afraid that these two young people will be afraid of causing trouble.

The boss thought about it, and in the end he could only think of this way.

Hearing this, the two of them were overjoyed.

"Thank you, boss, how much money do you see for you?" Wang Qingyun asked tentatively.

"You don't need money, just don't dislike it. The boss smiled with relief, "By the way, my old mother is not in good health and can't be frightened." The two of them still need to be silenced. ”

"It's nature. The two hurriedly nodded yes. It's better to have such a free trip than for them to wander around.

After all, the two of them were also very diligent in helping the boss collect the stall and wipe the tables and chairs.

Seeing that these two people are so diligent in their hands and feet, and they are quite respectful in their speech, they are not the kind of gangsters who do not learn and have no skills, and they are not bad people with bad intentions. Besides, the boss is also a poor man with four walls, so what is there to worry about.

Holding on to the cart, the trio walked through the streets and alleys, and finally stopped in a residential area.

All the houses have a uniform layout, so it can be seen that they were created by the Peace Alliance. It is a resettlement house, which is specially designed for the poor. It's no wonder that when Wang Qingyun said that when he was staying overnight, the boss would look embarrassed.

Originally, my own situation was not good, and I had to sympathize with others. But in this world, the poorer the person, the more they can feel their selflessness and generosity.

"Just put it aside. The boss pointed to the corner of the wall and motioned to leave the cart there. Then he took out the key and opened the door.

"Why did you come back so late?" Before the door could be opened, a woman's voice came from inside the door. There was a little feigned anger, but his voice was low and weak, as if he was not in good health.

"There were guests. The boss whispered a word and entered the house, beckoning to Ling Chen and the others.

When Ling Chen wanted to enter, he was stopped by Wang Qingyun reaching out. For a while, Ling Chen was a little puzzled, but it was still that

He followed Wang Qingyun and waited outside the house for a while.

"Come in. The boss's voice came from inside the house again.

At this time, Wang Qingyun nodded at Ling Chen, and the two walked into the house back and forth.

It turned out to be to avoid suspicion.

The first time I entered a stranger's house, it was still the kind that was sudden and unprepared. As a guest, it is natural to wait for the host to clean up the house. In this way, I also save face for myself and leave a good impression on the guests.

As soon as they entered the door, there was a strong smell of Chinese medicine, although it was not very good, but they could tolerate this smell. After all, after living in the wild for so long, it is not uncommon for decomposing corpses or something.

The house is not big, and the door is the bedroom. There was everything in the room, and it looked very narrow. But the placement of all items is very regular, and I think it is the result of the owner's frequent tidying.

The light was not bright, only an oil lamp, which was very dim. A woman stood in the corner and bowed lightly to the two, who hurried to the juniors.

"Insider. The boss explained briefly to the two. The two nodded, and they knew each other.

Entering other people's homes at will, and not being suspicious when you see your family members. Among the poor, these customary rituals are free. But there are still basic rules, and the two naturally don't dare to look at their families squarely, which is impolite.

I only know that the woman is wearing an indigo cloth robe, and like the boss, she is very simple.

The patio inside is black and hollow, and it doesn't look spacious. The boss brought in the tables and chairs that had been placed outside and placed them in the patio.

"Two little brothers, tonight I can only grieve you here. The boss said.

"Thank you boss. Ling Chen and Wang Qingyun arched their hands at the same time.

Although there is no place to sleep, it is better to go to the government and squat in prison. Anyway, it's just a night, everything is easy and good.

"The hut is right in the back. The boss pointed.

The two nodded in understanding.

"My surname is Yu, just call me old Yu. You don't have to be restrictive, your home is simple, just casual. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Yu. Wang Qingyun saluted.

"Thank you, Uncle Yu. Ling Chen also saluted.

Lao Yu nodded, walked back to his bedroom, and closed the door for a moment. After all, there is no light in the patio, and leaving a gap at least does not look so dark.

"Two little brothers, come to stay overnight and leave tomorrow. ”

There was a faint sound of mosquitoes and flies in the room, presumably Lao Yu was explaining the situation to the insiders.

"Has Mother's medicine been decocted?"

"I've taken it. ”

"Where's Huai'er?"

"Old Qin's family went to play. ”

Lao Yu brought out the only oil lamp in the room and placed it at the table for two. With a slight smile, he left again.

The other door must be where Lao Yu's mother lives, and the living conditions are indeed difficult. There are also some kitchen utensils in the corner of this patio, which I think are used for daily cooking.

Ling Chen and Wang Qingyun glanced at each other, Wang Qingyun pursed his lips, and his face was helpless.

"Grandma, I'm back. ”

A child's voice came from outside the door, presumably their child. I thought that the two of them at such an age should have started a family, but I didn't expect to be so weak.

"Have you done your homework?" Old Yu Wen's tone instantly became much more serious, like a strict father.

"That's it," the originally happy child heard

The father's serious voice was startled for a moment, and he hurriedly rummaged out his homework in the house and ran to the patio.

"Ahh The child cried out in surprise, as if wondering why there were only two more people in the house.

"It's rude! Lao Yu reprimanded.

When the little boy heard this, he called out "brother" obediently, and climbed onto the table to do his homework.

"Dog Huai'er. I just listened to Lao Yu's introduction.

The two smiled and nodded, which was considered understanding.

Ling Chen turned his head to look at the homework written by Huai'er, just a simple writing of words, as well as the ancient poems and texts that they memorized, were all things they had also learned when they were children. The arithmetic is also very simple, but it seems that the little boy seems to be struggling.

Ling Chen patiently taught the little boy on the side, and even talked about some of the content in the child's textbook for a while.

And the little boy seemed to be very patient, and he studied with Ling Chen for a while, and he was very devoted. Halfway through, Lao Yu came over to refill the oil lamp once, and then left again, as if he was afraid that his actions would disturb the two people who were teaching and listening to the class.

Ling Chen mainly told the little boy some knowledge in the textbook, as well as the things he hadn't mastered before.

For Ling Chen, these are very simple knowledge. But for such an old child, everything is still new, and it is only right that he has to change his mind. And Ling Chen was originally excellent in character and learning, otherwise he would not have dreamed of wanting to be admitted to Dongsheng Academy.

Ling Chen's appearance is like that of a teacher, and Lao Yu and his wife are naturally overjoyed when they see it. Some people are willing to teach their children to learn for free, just for one night, it is naturally worth it.

They are all at the loss of education, so that they have no culture, they don't understand anything, and they can't. Naturally, he can only master one craft and barely make ends meet. In the face of the next generation, they naturally hope to be able to come out of the blue and not follow their old path. This is the greatest expectation that every parent has for their children.

The child is obviously only six or seven years old, but he is very competitive and serious. Ling Chen's counseling lasted until the child was sleepy. Tomorrow's child still has classes, so naturally he can't delay because of his half-baked teacher.

Lao Yulai picked Huai'er away and thanked Ling Chen and the others. Although he is not a teacher, he knows that he is not an ordinary person, just like a cultured person with a cultured appearance.

There are two kinds of people in this world who are most respected, one is the knowledgeable person, who is respected by the people, and the other is the seal master, who is respected by the practitioners.

"I feel like you're not bad at lecturing, and you're the head of the way. Do you have any ideas to be a mentor or something in the future?" Wang Qingyun said with interest.

Although his grades are not as good as Ling Chen, in terms of cultivation, Ling Chen thinks that he is not comparable to him. As for why, that was Ling Chen's intuition. Because he always thinks that Wang Qingyun is better than him, no matter what aspect. So for Wang Qingyun, he usually pretends to be stupid, and Ling Chen has to look at him.

"Go to bed early, I said this, blew out the oil lamp, and fell asleep on the table. Seeing that he was so fast, Wang Qingyun didn't even want to answer him, so he had to lie on the table and fall asleep boringly.

In a hazy moment, Ling Chen seemed to hear some small conversations.

"There is still one dose of my mother's medicine left, and there is not much rice and noodles left at home, and Huai'er's shoes are also broken, and she keeps clamoring to buy new ones."

"Let's get medicine for my mother first, if it's not enough, I'll think of a way. ”

In the quiet night, there is a lot of helplessness and bitterness.
