"Coincidentally, Young Master Fu."

Hearing the sound, Fu Shulang half-raised his eyes, and it took him a long time to see who was coming.

Duan Huaining was originally discussing business matters with people on the second floor, and it was an accident to see the drunken Fu Shulang here. However, it's really interesting, Young Master Fu, who just celebrated his birthday last night, actually bought drunk in Qianbai during the day the next day.

Fu Shulang just snorted coldly, closed his eyes again, and didn't pay any attention to Duan Huaining's meaning. In the farce last night, the on-the-spot adaptability of the two brothers of the Duan family seemed even more incompetent in the eyes of his father.

Even if my father didn't say it explicitly, the disappointed look in his eyes already said everything.

Duan Huaining didn't feel embarrassed, his hot face was attached to his cold buttocks, but he was not in a hurry to leave, but sat down and smiled politely. I have long heard of the feud between their father and son, and it seems that it is not just a rumor.

Fu Shulang saw Duan Huaining sit down, and didn't speak, just looked at himself: "Are you here to laugh at me?" ”

"Young Master Fu misunderstood, Duan Mou never meant this." Duan Huaining asked for a glass of red wine and put it on several tables, "It's just strange that Young Master Fu is obviously ambitious, but he spends his days in such a place all day long." ”

Fu Shulang shook his head and sneered: "Ambition? How can I have such a thing? With a wave of his hand, he pointed to the people who came and went in thousands of degrees, "Here, what is the difference between me and them?" It's all maggots in this night city. ”

"When all people are blinded by darkness and content in the mire, then the first to wake up must bear the burden of dispelling the darkness and letting the light shine again."

"Sober?" Fu Shulang sat up straight and snorted coldly, as if laughing at himself, "Do you think I'm the sober person?" ”

Duan Huaining didn't speak, and looked at the person in front of him fixedly.

In fact, in Night City, there are no shortage of sober people, but most of them are active at the bottom, have experienced the warmth and coldness of the world, see through the indifference of people's hearts, have no power, no status, and some don't even have the ability to survive.

"Yes or no, Young Master Fu has the answer in his heart." Duan Huaining stood up, raised his glass to Fu Shulang, and drank it, "Duan thought that the sad thing was not to be a maggot, but to be a maggot, but to recognize the reality, and to think that it was a long dragon." ”

The so-called hundred-legged insects, dead but not stiff, just like today's Night City, under the seemingly prosperous appearance, in fact, it has long been covered with rotten abscesses, if no one cleans up those abscess tumors one by one, then, the disillusionment of Night City is just around the corner.

The empty cups were placed on several tables, making a crisp sound, and by the time Fu Shulang came back to his senses, Duan Huaining had already left Qianbai.

Are sober people ......?

Fu Shulang picked up the empty wine glass, stood up suddenly, and for a long time, he turned the wine glass upside down on a few tables, without looking back, and walked straight out of Qianbai, maybe he could really do something.

In the secret room of the soul pawnshop, a stone was suspended in the air, glowing with a faint light, and the base was a black lotus platform, also suspended in the air, slowly turning.

In today's shop, except for the crazy woman, only Du Sheng was left, and for several days, he just stopped in this place, looking at the stone from a distance, and did not approach, like a devout believer.

Several days have passed since Bai Chen left, and the so-called Guanlin Village is haunted and haunted by resentful spirits, but it is more accurate to say that the plague is raging.

Guanlin Village is Bai Chen's homeland, since his mother passed away, he has never returned, after ten years, I didn't expect it to be such a desolate scene.

The whole village was shrouded in dark clouds, and the spread of the disease caused the village to leave the village in the prime of life, leaving only old people and orphans who had no one to support them, and most of them were infected with the plague.

Where does the plague come from?

Nobody knows.

"You...... Is it Xiao Chen? ”

"Uncle Wang?"

When he was very young, his father abandoned their mother and son, and he couldn't even remember what his father looked like.

It is said that the nostalgia is simple, but under this world, how can there be good and evil? They are orphans and widows, and in order to survive, they have endured all kinds of hardships and white eyes.

The person who called him was originally the village chief of Guanlin Village, named Wang Li, who was kind and kind, often took care of them, and sent some rice and grain to help them from time to time.

If it weren't for the affectionate title, Bai Chen would almost not recognize the person in front of him, his white hair was full of baldness, his body was hunched, his eye sockets were deep, and his exposed wrist was only covered with a layer of withered yellow skin.

"Uncle Wang......"

Bai Chen ran towards him with an arrow step, a few steps and a step, and was just about to support him, but he was dodged, and his hoarse voice was filled with anger: "What are you doing when you come back?" Get out of here...... Guan Lin Village is dead! ”

As he spoke, he leaned over, turned around and ran, and within a few steps of Bai Chen's chase, his calf was hit with a stone, and a sour tingling sensation immediately spread.

"Don't bully grandpa!" At this time, a childish voice came from a high place.

Bai Chen turned around and saw a small child sitting on the tree, wearing a cloth coat with patches, a big hole in the shoe on his right foot, holding a slingshot in his hand, his face was stained with dust, and he raised his eyebrows upside down, "warning" to Bai Chen.

Looking back at Wang Li, he had already run away from the figure, stood up a little angrily, and looked at the child on the tree: "Little brat, you come down." ”

"I won't come down! I'm not going to come down! He grimaced at him.

It's not going to come down, is it?

Bai Chen gestured at the height of the tree, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to climb up, while climbing, his heart was still broken. This tree is seven or eight meters high, and this little kid climbs so high, isn't he afraid of falling down?

Seeing that Bai Chen was about to climb up, the child raised the slingshot again, and fired another shot at Bai Chen's head, the strength was not as strong as the previous one, obviously deliberately retracted the force.

"Little brat, if you mess around again, be careful that your mom spanks you!"

"I don't have a mother!"

The words blurted out by the child made Bai Chen fall into silence, let go and jumped off the tree, sat down against the tree, and said nothing, which made the child strange.

"What's your name?" Bai Chen raised his head and asked.

"Dog."

"Poof!" Bai Chen couldn't hold back for a while, laughed, and was afraid of hurting the child's self-esteem, so he lowered his head and endured, his shoulders shaking for a while.

"What are you laughing at?!"

Bai Chen had heard that people in the township like to give their children such names, and they felt that they were easy to raise.

"I didn't laugh at you." turned to beckon, "Dog, come down, I promise not to hit you." ”

"I don't believe it! You adults love to lie! The dog sat on the branch, dangling back and forth on his legs, still holding the slingshot in his hand.

"Then you're afraid that I'll beat you?" Bai Chen put his hand on his chest and beckoned to the little man on the tree, "Manly man, what kind of ability is it to hide and hide?" ”
