Chapter 396: Neighbors in the Courtyard
Mo Fei smiled and said: "It's better to give it to you, I don't know the place here, if it's convenient, I can live in your house, and these crystal coins will be counted as accommodation and food expenses." β
Fang Yu said: "Mo Shaoxia is willing to live in my house, it is Fang's honor, it's too late to be happy, how can I collect your money?"
Mo Fei said: "You just take it, you have to eat to live, don't you? If this money is given to me, will you let me cook my own food?"
"This ...... All right. β
Fang Yu thanked Mo Fei again, and then took Mo Fei to his residence, a remote courtyard in the west of Dongyuan City.
The yard is not big, and there are six families living in it, and they usually move around a lot, and the relationship is very good.
Fang Yu's wife died early, and he raised his daughter alone, and this time he came out, he asked his neighbors to help take care of him.
"Uncle Fang, you're back!"
As soon as he stepped into the gate of the courtyard, a little boy of seven or eight years old ran over.
The little boy's clothes were dirty, and a pile of snot was smeared on his face, half dry and half wet, and he looked a little disgusting.
Mo Fei's brows furrowed slightly.
"Xiao Tie, if you haven't come back to eat, where are you going to play...... Hey, old man, why did you come back? Didn't you say it would take half a month?"
A middle-aged woman wearing an apron walked out of a room in the courtyard and was very surprised to see Fang Yu.
"Who is this?" the middle-aged woman looked at Mo Fei.
Fang Yu said: "Aunt Lan, this is a monk who has just become a monk in the Qing Rank, Mo Fei Mo Shaoxia, I encountered danger outside the city, it was this Mo Shaoxia who saved me and gave me a brute crystal, and now I have been changed to medicinal materials." Aunt Lan, thanks to you for taking care of Xiao Yao these days, a little careful. β
As he spoke, Fang Yu handed out a small bag, which contained three hundred crystal coins, which looked heavy.
Lan Lin usually subsidizes her family by doing needlework manually, and she only has twenty or thirty crystals a day, and when she sees these three hundred crystals, she immediately smiles.
"Lao Fang, you said you, come back when you come back, and bring gifts, see you outside. As she spoke, she stuffed the small bag into her pocket, for fear that Fang Yu would regret it.
Mo Fei wanted to laugh a little.
Lan Lin looked at Mo Fei: "Master Mo, have you eaten, why don't you come to my house to eat?"
After speaking, without waiting for Mo Fei to answer, he patted Lan Xiaotie's head and said, "Xiaotie, hurry up and call Lord Mo!"
Lan Xiaotie didn't call Master Mo, but put his fingers covered with dirt into his mouth and sucked them, and said while sucking: "Mother, I'm hungry, I want to eat." β
"Uh......" Mo Fei had a strange expression.
"Eat, eat, you know how to eat!" Lan Lin scolded Lan Xiaotie and said to Mo Fei, "I'm sorry to make you laugh." β
Mo Fei said: "It's okay, I will live in Brother Fang's house these days, and there will be many opportunities to meet in the future." β
"Your Excellency wants to live here?"
Lan Lin's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something, and a look of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but after thinking about it, she still didn't say it: "Then I won't bother the adults, I'll come back to visit later." β
"Okay. β
Seeing Lan Lin pulling Lan Xiaotie back to the house, Mo Fei said softly: "That kid ......"
Fang Yu said: "Xiao Tie is an orphan adopted by Aunt Lan, when Aunt Lan was young, she had an illness, and the root of the disease was lost, resulting in infertility, seven years ago, she saw the baby who was abandoned on the side of the road, so she took him back and named him Xiao Tie. Later, it was discovered that Xiao Tie was born with mental retardation, perhaps this is the reason why he was abandoned, but, Aunt Lan
I decided that this child had been taken care of all these years and had never thought of giving up on him. Don't look at Xiao Tie so sloppy, compared to before, it's much better. β
"I see. β
Now thinking about Lan Lin's action of picking up the money bag just now, Mo Fei suddenly felt that she was a little cute, and his heart moved slightly to the child named Lan Xiaotie.
"Mo Shaoxia, Fang's house is over there, let's go over. β
"Good. β
Fang Yu's home is opposite Lan Lin's house, if the door is open, you can directly see what is going on the other side.
"Crunchβ"
Fang Yu pushed the door in.
The person in the back room heard the movement and turned over: "Aunt Lan, is it you?"
"Xiao Yao, it's my father who is back. β
Fang Yu walked into the back room, and Mo Fei followed.
The house was shabbyly furnished, but clean, and there was a faint smell of a bouquet of wildflowers wafting from the window.
There was a bed in the corner, and there lay a pale girl, who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old, with two large, perhaps weak, eyes that showed deep exhaustion.
"Xiao Yao, how do you feel?" Fang Yu sat on the edge of the bed, concerned.
Fang Xiaoyao said: "Aunt Lan fed me some food just now, and now I'm a little sleepy." Dad, who is this big brother?"
Fang Yu said: "Don't be rude, this is Mo Fei Mo Shaoxia, a Qing Dynasty junior monk, my father is in danger outside the city, thanks to Mo Shaoxia's help, you have to call him Master Mo." β
"Master Mo!" Fang Xiaoyao called softly, with curiosity in her eyes, wanting to take a closer look at Mo Fei, but afraid that Fang Yu would accuse her of being rude, so she didn't dare to look.
"Hello. β
Mo Fei smiled slightly.
Fang Yu took out a wooden box: "Xiao Yao, thanks to Mo Shaoxia's funding, now that my father has bought the Gathering Divine Mushroom, you should eat it quickly." β
The wooden box opened, revealing a black mushroom-like drug.
When he saw it for the first time in the pharmacy before, Mo Fei thought it was a burnt shiitake mushroom.
"Thank you, Dad, thank you, Lord Mo. β
Fang Xiaoyao swallowed the Gathering Mushroom in one bite.
Soon, drowsiness swelled up, and Fang Xiaoyao fell asleep.
According to the shopkeeper of the drugstore, as long as he slept for a day and a night, the weak state of failure to fuse the brute crystal would be completely eliminated.
It's just that you have to pay attention in the future, if you fuse the brute crystal again, not only will the difficulty increase, but also the second failure, there will be a high possibility that the soul will be scattered!
If there is no accident, Fang Xiaoyao will be an ordinary person all his life.
"Mo Shaoxia, let me show you the room. β
"Okay. β
The room prepared for Mo Fei was next door, only one wall away from Fang Xiaoyao's room, and it was empty, only the corners were sprinkled with some wood chips.
Fang Yu explained: "Fang usually carves some gadgets from wood to sell, although he can't make a few dollars, but he can eat a little bit, this room is used to put wood carvings, in order to buy a fusion crystal for Xiao Yao, he spent all his savings, and a few days ago, in order to raise money, he emptied his home, so it looks empty, so it looks empty, so Mo Shaoxia laughs." You can rest assured, I will buy these beds immediately, and I will arrange them for you properly before going to bed at night. β
Mo Fei said: "It's okay, I'm here to cultivate, not to enjoy happiness, this place is very nice and quiet." By the way, I live here, so where will you put the wood carvings you will make in the future?"
Fang Yu said: "I won't do wood carving in the future, with those crystal coins you gave me, I plan to rent a small store and do some small business." β
Mo Fei said: "That's fine, it's bothering." β
Fang Yu said: "Your Excellency is polite, you don't dislike the humble house, Fang is already very happy." β
Subsequently, Fang Yu went out to buy goods, while Mo Fei practiced the Divine Prayer Technique in the room.
He didn't feel dirty, he just sat down, he came to the sword heart world, mainly to comprehend the sword intent, it doesn't matter what the environment of the place where he lives.
"How many days and nights are difficult to sleep, and a lonely soul survives every second. In the next life, I would rather be a mayfly and disappear in an instant......"
Suddenly, the sound of some poems wafted in from the window, and it seemed to come from another family in the courtyard.
"However, I forgot to burn the soup by the bridge, and how much I remember in this life. There is no one on the lookout platform, and it is better to die than to live forever......"
Listening to it, Mo Fei suddenly felt that something was not right, these poems were too sad, and listening to the chanting voice, it was very young.
Mo Fei walked out of the room, looked at Fang Xiaoyao, who was sleeping peacefully, did not wake her up, walked to the door gently, and pushed the door open.
Just about to go out, suddenly, Mo Fei heard some scolding: "Ye Li, Ye Li, you don't study well, what's the use of writing these poems every day, can you make money? You are fourteen years old, it's time to learn a craft, look at Li Ding, who is the same year as you, he is now an expert in killing pigs, and the money he earns can buy two suites, what about you, poetry and lyrics every day, hurt this and sad that, there is no manhood at all, and your father's old face has made you lose everything!"
"When you learn poetry, why don't you have manhood?"
"Don't say anything, Dad just helped you register, and tomorrow morning, you will go to the north of the city with Dad to move bricks. β
"I don't move bricks!"
"If you don't move bricks, then what do you want to do? Write these garbage poems in the room every day? What's the point?"
"Why is it unproductive? I recognized a master, he said that writing more poems can improve mental power and increase the chance of fusing brute crystals, I already have a little feeling, I will definitely succeed!"
"What bullshit master, do you think that Dad doesn't know who you're talking about, it's the old man Pan who tells stories in the teahouse! Hmph, he is swaggering and deceiving all day long, he is so capable, why haven't I seen him become a monk?
"Dad, I don't allow you to say that about Master Pan!"
"Hey, the little rabbit cub is still capable, okay, it seems that I can't beat you today!"
"If you beat me, I still have to write poetry, and one day, I will succeed!"
"Success, the skill of becoming a fart, it's a waste of time, don't listen to me, see if I don't kill you!"
......
Mo Fei listened to the door for a while, and many thoughts surged in his heart, and suddenly, the door of the courtyard was pushed open, and a young man of twenty-five or sixteen walked in.
The young man looked melancholy, his face was still a little unshaven, his clothes were stained with wine, and he held a jar of wine in his hand, and took a sip and two sips.
The courtyard was not big, and the young man quickly noticed Mo Fei.
"Hey, who are you, what are you doing at the door of Uncle Fang......'s house? You're a thief, come on, there's a thief!"
The young man had a very loud voice, and this roar directly alarmed the other residents in the courtyard, and everyone usually had a good relationship, and when he heard that there was a thief, he immediately copied the guy and walked out.
