Ruth spent her time at No. 69 Fushuang Road when she was young, and of course she knew about the situation here. When I came to Shanghai this time, I had come here once, but I took a hurried look through the gap outside the iron gate, and was urged by Chu Ming to leave, and I didn't observe it well at all. However, even that quick glance let her know what it had become.

Following Wang Mengxiong this time, the first impression was that the whole yard was full of vitality, which was the breath of spring. The haze and fog that originally shrouded the courtyard completely dissipated, and the nearby grass, the magnolia trees next to the courtyard, and the western-style buildings in the distance became so clear. The air is filled with the smell of green grass and the fragrance of magnolia flowers in full bloom.

This magnolia tree was planted by the clergy and his wife in the first year of living in the western-style building, and it is nearly 20 years old this year. When it first opened, Ruth fell in love with the white flowers that bloomed all over the trees and smelled the fragrance all over the garden. After many years, seeing and smelling the magnolia again, she suddenly remembered the scene when her priest father picked her up and broke the branches to sniff the magnolia tree.

The last time I saw it, the magnolia tree loomed in the mist, and there were no flower bones, only the emaciated branches were bleak in the wind. It's only been a few days, and it's really surprising that Ruth is so prosperous.

Sharp-eyed, she suddenly saw a mouse lying there on the grass with its stomach turned up, obviously braided. On the cement road under your feet, there are occasionally some corpses of cockroaches and wings, scattered everywhere, as if they have been charred, black.

"Buzzing ......" looked at the sound, and it was actually a few industrious bees, flying in the air, dancing gracefully in the air, landing on the magnolia tree, busy diligently.

This situation is simply a miracle for No. 69 Fushuang Road, which is also famous for its murderous house. Day and night, in the past, this place was lifeless, except for the city fox society rats, cockroaches and flies, what butterflies, bees, and birds will never appear here.

"Don't look at it, you'll have a lot of time to see this outside scenery in the future, let's take a look in the building first!"

Although Wang Mengxiong was also surprised by the changes between nights, he wanted to show Ruth that it was not outside. The entire building was bombarded by his three talismans, and the gloomy aura was swept away, and the original mottled traces of time were completely revealed, and there would be some corresponding changes, which was the miracle he wanted to show Ruth.

Ruth glanced at it greedily, then turned around and reluctantly followed Wang Mengxiong into the small western-style building. She was so familiar with it that she and her brothers and sisters were left in almost every corner. Now, after all these years, she was surprised to find that although some of the floor tiles were broken, the walls were peeling, and the wooden furniture had changed color and scratches, everything else gave her a new feeling. There is no rotten smell of old houses, no imaginary pictures of cobwebs and dirty, and even the surfaces of the floor, various furniture, and walls are not even dusty. It was as if it had been carefully cleaned and spotlessly clean. Although there were still some miscellaneous items piled up on the ground to remind her that no one had cleaned up here, it was possible to achieve this kind of cleanliness in the bones, and the impact on the senses was very huge.

"How is this done?" Ruth grabbed Wang Mengxiong's arm tightly and asked repeatedly. Although she felt in her heart that all this was related to the little boy who was in her arms all the way, because it was too unbelievable, she still wanted to hear him admit it in person before she believed it.

"How? It's a secret. But that's why I'm telling you about the loss. The price you paid was just to get something, and now you can see it here, and I can guarantee that I have cleaned all the dirty things in this building, the house, from beginning to end, and I have left no one. And there will never be anything like this in the future. I don't know if this is a miracle or not, and if it's worth the price increase? ”

Ruth nodded subconsciously and muttered, "Of course it's a miracle, it's worth ......."

She suddenly stopped talking, looked up at Wang Mengxiong and said, "What?" ”

"Wages! Or is it remuneration, honorarium, commission, whatever it is, in short, you can't let me do useless work, right? ”

Ruth suddenly smiled slyly: "What you said, do you have to have a contract to pay?" Even if it's a verbal agreement, it's fine. It's just that I don't remember having such a contract or agreement with you, so I don't need to pay you extra for this, right? ”

"This ......"

Wang Mengxiong was late for a while, and couldn't say anything to refute. Yes, for Westerners, what they value is a spirit of contract. As long as there is a contract and an agreement, then it is natural and understandable to pay remuneration according to the contract and the agreement. Without that, it would be almost impossible to convert Satan to God. It's not like in China, where people are honest and conscience. After all, what has been instilled for thousands of years is benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, and morality comes first. If you do things with a clear conscience, you will be scolded for lacking virtue and pointing at your backbone.

Ruth was amused when she saw Wang Mengxiong's depressed and helpless appearance. Although the contact was short, the shock that this little boy brought to her was quite huge, almost one thunderbolt after another. Whether it is Chu Mingchuan's miraculous medical skills, the witchcraft of subduing demons and exorcisms, and the brave and peerless martial arts that he inquired about from the side, the top-ranked academics of the Chengxin Academy, it seems that there is no one he can't do, and he does his best in everything. Now that I saw this child deflated, my heart was much more balanced for no reason, and I felt that he was no longer so far away from him, but like the brother next door, the feeling of hugging him and caring for him on the road came back to him.

"Don't worry, I'm just joking with you, it scares you. But I'll be honest with you, I don't have much money left other than what I paid you before. Such a big house has to be inherited and cleaned, oh this saves a lot of it, and there are also servants to hire servants, clean up the yard, and buy necessary daily necessities, oh my! Can you believe that I'm going to go bankrupt when I move here? ”

Wang Mengxiong looked at Ruth covering her forehead with her hand in pain, and her face turned dark. This little lady's means are really rich enough, the shrewdness of a businessman, the ruthlessness of a lawyer, the coquettishness of a girl, and the level of an actor

acting, so that he knew that nine out of ten sentences of the other party's words were false, but he couldn't say anything to refute them.

"This single transaction is going to be a big loss! I'm afraid I'm going to be blind with my three hard-working talismans! ”

Thinking of this, Wang Mengxiong turned around and walked out. "Can't I hide if I can't be provoked? I just don't want to pay the bill, I don't want it, I should ...... for the people wholeheartedly, no, for the sake of international friends, make contributions! ”

"Hey, where are you going? I haven't finished reading this upstairs yet, I'm scared if you're gone! ”

Ruth said that she was scared, but she was actually very sure in her heart. Judging by the anomalies in the yard and the cleanliness of the house, she concluded that the filth had been wiped out by this amazing child. It's just that she doesn't want to lose this brother who has a good impression, so she deliberately uses this excuse to keep him.

"Sister Ruth, don't act. There's not even a fly left here, and you know there's no need to be afraid. I'm still a student, so it's time to go to school. I can't call a rickshaw here, I have to hurry up and run a long way to make sure I'm not late, and Mr.'s board won't let go of my palm just because I'm with you as a beauty! ”

"It's not that I'm angry, that's good! Don't worry, my sister won't borrow money from you. When I'm settled, I'll return the favor to you. Now let me go with you, I also want to go to the Chu Mansion once, thank you Uncle Chu for a special trip! ”

Wang Mengxiong looked at her suspiciously and said, "You went to see Chu Yigong, not only to thank you, but also for what purpose?" ”

Ruth blinked and said, "Borrow money!" ”
