Hearing Zhang Teng say this, the people inside seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, slowly walked behind the door, and opened the door.

The door was opened by a middle-aged woman with somewhat messy hair and shabby clothes, she looked haggard, thin, not old, but a little old, dull, and her eyes cloudy and lacklustre.

Zhang Teng respectfully saluted her and asked, "Dare to ask this sister-in-law, is this Uncle Chen Fang's house?" ”

The middle-aged woman looked at him, nodded, and said, "Exactly, I don't know who Zhang Gongzi is looking for when he comes to the cold house?"

"I came here today to find Chen Li's family. Zhang Teng said, "That day, Chen Li said that he would go to Yunjing to join their Uncle Chen Fang, I wonder if they are still in your house?

"They stayed with me for a few days and moved out soon after. The middle-aged woman shook her head and said, "Now they may still be in Sanyuan Lane, West Street, Zhang Gongzi, you go over there to find them." ”

"Sanyuan Lane, West Street?"

"Well, they were still there at the beginning, and they asked me to give you a message when they left...... middle-aged woman sighed, she seemed to remember something, and was about to tell Zhang Teng.

Suddenly, a thin young man with messy hair and scruffy hair came out of the house and rudely interrupted her.

"Mother, why hasn't my father come back yet, I don't have anything to eat at home, I'm dying of hunger! Why don't you go to my second aunt's house to borrow some money, and let me go out to eat noodle soup first." He opened his collar and scratched his chest as he yelled at the middle-aged woman, looking annoyed and angry.

The middle-aged woman glanced back at him and said coldly: "My old face has long been used up by you, not to mention borrowing money from their family now, not even rice." If you're really hungry, scoop a scoop of water and wash the bottom of last night's pot and boil it hot and drink the soup. ”

The thin young man scratched his head and said dissatisfiedly, "Then when will my father come back?"

The middle-aged woman was slightly angry, and counted him down: "You ask me, who do I ask?" You stay at home all day, not honest, and look for some work seriously, and when my father and I are old, who will support you? ”

The thin young man snorted, didn't speak, and turned his head away.

Zhang Teng looked at the thin young man, and said in his heart: This person should be Chen Fang's second son Chen An, looking at him like this, if Chen Li and they really stay here, I am afraid it will be very inappropriate.

The middle-aged woman ignored her son and said to Zhang Teng: "They got into trouble in Yunjing, and when I leave, let me give you a message, saying that if you can't find them in Sanyuan Lane, West Street, you will go to an old couple in Sanyuan Lane, West Street, to inquire." That family's surname is Lian, you can go to Sanyuan Lane and ask to know, alas, it's ashamed to say ......"

"Mother, what are you rambling, what do you ask. By the way, little brother, your name is Zhang Teng, right? What is your relationship with them? What is the matter with them?" The thin young man on the side suddenly interjected, he looked at Zhang Teng with an enthusiastic face, "Why don't you let me take you to find them, I see that the little brother is not familiar with life, and it will not be easy to deal if he gets lost." ”

The other party glanced at his shirt and saber, his eyes were surprisingly eager, faintly glowing, and seemed to have bad intentions.

"No need, Brother Chen, I know the way, just go by myself. He frowned slightly, shook his head, refused the other party to lead the way for him at the moment, and saluted the middle-aged woman with a fist, "Thank you Sister-in-law Chen for informing me, there is a lot of trouble, Zhang Teng said goodbye first." ”

After speaking, Zhang Teng turned around and left, but Chen An stretched out his hand and pressed on his shoulder, and said to him with a smile: "Little brother, I am quite familiar with the area here, let me lead you there." How to say that you are also from Suining, you are our fellow countryman, and you have to take care of each other to some extent. ”

Zhang Teng frowned, pushed his hand away, and said lightly: "I understand Brother Chen's kindness, don't bother Brother Chen, I'll find it myself." ”
