There are a lot of gambling houses in the town, but they don't dare to be blatant, and now the smoke houses have long been banned, all of them are sneaky and open in secluded alleys.

Chen Mu and Sun Youlin were also familiar with each other, and they caught up with Ah Lai Ba after a short time, and followed far behind.

He hugged the old faded red cloth bag, and walked down the street with a cower, not daring to look up, and he did not have the kind of magnanimity after being rich.

He passed several gambling houses along the way, and he wanted to go in, but when he reached the door, he shook his head and left with a sigh.

Every time he stopped, Chen Mu would get nervous.

Ah Lai Ba is also guilty of deserving, Chen Mu will not care, the reason why he is nervous is because Chen Mu has hope in his heart, he thinks that a person always has a good side, and this world is not so ugly.

Seeing that he had reached the end of the street, and when he reached the last gambling house, Ah Lai Ba stopped in the end.

"I'll just say, I didn't go in before, I was exploring the atmosphere, and bad gamblers are superstitious, and I will go in to see which gambling house can boost his luck."

Chen Mu was also annoyed, holding the blowtorch in his hand tightly, if Ah Lai Ba really went in to gamble, with this anger, Chen Mu would really break his legs!

Looking at this indisputable waste firewood, Chen Mu's anger had been endured to the extreme, he lowered his head, walked up silently, and was about to raise the blowtorch, but Lai Ba left!

Yes, he left, he didn't go to the gambling house!

Chen Mu turned his head and looked at Sun Youlin, and the joy on his face couldn't be hidden.

Sun Youlin pursed his lips: "Don't be too happy, in addition to the gambling houses in the city, there are many private venues outside, and let's go over and see it first." ”

Chen Mu was in a much better mood, and he didn't pay attention to Sun Youlin, and strode to keep up with Ah Lai Ba.

By this time, the drizzle had turned into a heavy fog, and there were more people on the streets, and from time to time there was a rustling of chattering in the fog, like a large area of sand crabs digging holes on the beach.

Chen Mu and the three of them followed for a while, but they became a little dignified.

Because Ah Lai Ba didn't want to go outside the city, but went to the Chen family's old house!

Under the canopy, the banquet was set up like this, and the helpers were listless, driving away the flies on the banquet from time to time.

He still sat on the edge of the table, looking at the blank book and sighing.

Ah Laiba walked to the front of the abandoned mansion and was about to walk over, but stopped again, as if passing by the gambling house and not entering.

Sun Youlin snorted coldly and mocked: "I'll just say it, how can it be ......?"

Although he said so, it was easy to hear the disappointment in his words, probably in his heart, and like Chen Mu, he hoped to see Ah Lai Ba's nature for a while, but he didn't admit it.

Chen Mu was also very disappointed, if the Chen family or Hong Shuntang had been kind to Ah Lai Ba, and he robbed the only money left in the family to donate, Chen Mu would not want him, but at least he had this heart, and he would be saved in the future.

It's a pity that this Lai Baguo is really muddy and can't support the wall.

He stopped at the door, like a thief, but now he buttoned up his open coat and rubbed it for a while, smoothing out the folds of his clothes.

Then he tore a few banana leaves, wiped the mud off his feet, took out a pair of half-new and old cloth shoes from the red cloth bag, and put them on seriously, like a daring soldier about to go to battle, full of ritual.

When he had done this, he wiped his face again, and then he walked in front of Hebo, and gently placed the deflated cloth tape on the stage.

"Three years ago, Mr. Chen ...... to my family Be kind to my family, father...... My father confessed before he died, and he must repay him if he has the opportunity......"

"It's not a lot of money, but it's ...... But it's also heart...... Don't be too young ...... the old men of the Chen family."

He Bo looked at Ah Lai Ba, this person's face was full of shallow scars, there were bruises on his right eye, and there was a sour smell and tobacco smell on his body.

But in the end, no one came, and Hebo was patient, and turned over in the cloth belt for a while, and there were only a hundred copper coins, although it was not much, but it was not less.

Ah Lai Bayi changed his rogue posture in the past, like a restrained student, waiting for the teacher's evaluation, with his head down, looking very humble.

Although Hebo is a person who has seen the world, he hesitates in his heart, whether to invite him to a seat for this street laipi who eats and drinks, or to throw the money to him and drive him away?

He Bo is the old housekeeper of the Chen family, he is very thoughtful and mellow, and he will figure it out in a while, no matter what, if he is a guest, he should be invited to the table, after all, he is also a donor.

But he just hesitated, raised his head, and was just about to ask Ah Lai Ba's name, which was better to be registered in the gift book, but found that Ah Lai Ba had already left with his head down, as if he had been greatly hurt.

Chen Mu saw this scene in his eyes, and his heart was also excited, he took a deep breath, and stopped Ah Laiba.

"You've been gifted, but you haven't registered your name yet."

Ah Lai Ba was wronged, and he was angry, and the gambler's temperament was aroused, and he tore off his coat with a snort, revealing his black and thin chest, and the ugly tattoo on his left chest, and said to Chen Mu.

"What are you, I want you to take care of my uncle's business!"

Sun Youlin Shicai was also excited, and stood up at this time, and said to Ah Lai: "He is the current master of the Chen family." ”

"What? You...... You are the young master who bought the Chen family's house! ”

Chen Mu claimed to the public that he was the nephew of the Chen family, and outsiders thought he was a cousin young master, and Chen Mu also nodded in recognition.

"Yes, let's go, I'll take you to the table to register."

Ah Lai Ba suddenly became embarrassed, his face was flushed, and he wanted to button his shirt back, but he used too much force to collapse the button, and he was extremely embarrassed.

"No, no, I look like a ghost, where am I embarrassed to eat the Chen family's banquet......"

Chen Mu didn't think so, pointed to his shoes and said: "You also have a heart, as long as you have a heart, my Chen family is welcome, come with me." ”

Chen Mu couldn't help but say, so he pulled Ah Lai Ba back to Hebo's side.

"Dare to ask the eldest brother's name?" Seeing that Hebo was stunned, Chen Mu also moved the gift book, grabbed the brush in Hebo's hand, and asked about Ah Laiba.

Ah Lai Ba was a little hesitant, so nervous that he stammered: "My honorable surname ...... Oh no, my surname is Lai, my name is out of the field, Lai is out of the field, and the family is eight, so everyone calls me ah Lai eight......"

Chen Mu nodded, neatly registered, and then said to Ah Lai Ba: "Starling brother, you are the first, so you will be the chief." ”

Ah Lai Bahao is a mixed party on the street, he has never eaten pork and seen pigs running, he is ashamed of himself, where dare to sit in the chief, shook his head and waved his hand: "No, no!" ”

Chen Mu pushed him forward with a smile, pressed him to the seat, and said to many helpers and mothers: "The guests are seated, don't move around!" ”

However, the old mother and many helpers did not move.

Like statues, they opened their mouths wide as if they were thirsty people waiting for rain from heaven, and their eyes glazed their eyes staring blankly ahead.

Chen Mu was also surprised, and looked at them with the light of their eyes, but saw that a large number of figures gradually appeared in the fog!

This scene is like the night walk of a hundred ghosts in a romance novel, these figures are uneven, and you can see what many people are carrying, long and short, large and small.

Ah Lai Hachi also stood up, Sun Youlin nervously pressed the handle of the knife, and Ashiya Haruko's eyes narrowed slightly.

In fact, Chen Mu had already discussed this issue with Sun Youlin earlier, just because he was worried that someone would come to make trouble.

The abandoned house of the Chen family is the last façade of Hong Shuntang, and rebuilding the abandoned house is equivalent to reopening the entrance of the hall, and those enemies in the open and in the dark will not let go of this opportunity.

Chen Mu and the others were already vigilant, and at this time, Sun Youlin shouted inside: "Brothers, come forward!" ”

Chu Tongcheng and the others were already ready to go, and they rushed forward at this time.

He was already burly, and with the iron arm armor on his right hand, he was even more vicious.

They protected Chen Mu behind them, and they were on guard, and the crowd in the dense fog gradually appeared.

Chu Tongcheng's eyes were also full of astonishment, and he turned his head to look at Chen Mu, his eyes full of doubts and inquiries.

Chen Mu walked to the front and saw that these were ordinary people wearing shorts and barefoot, holding various tools in their hands, some carrying beams, some carrying bricks and tiles, all kinds of people, shapes and shapes, and the crowds were surging, almost occupying all the way!

The first old man, carrying an iron pickaxe on his shoulder, said to Chu Tongcheng: "Brother Lao is tired to go in and report, we are here to repair the Chen family's house......"

When Chen Mu saw this scene, he was so moved that he couldn't speak, his heart was surging, his eyes were red, and he asked the old man.

"My Chen family doesn't seem to have hired workers to repair the house, are you making a mistake?"

The old man was also excited, but a little restrained: "It turned out to be the little master of the Chen family...... Mr. Chen takes very good care of our fellow villagers and neighbors, if there is no Mr. Chen, we can't live this life, we don't have much money, so we can only demolish some things in the house and help repair the house, I hope the little master will not dislike ......"

Chen Mu's brain buzzed, his heart was filled with indescribable emotion, and a stream of heat surged up, and his eyes were sour.

He finally understood why every household was knocking and knocking along the way, they were not repairing the house, but demolishing the house!

They want to tear down everything they can use at home, and use the bricks and tiles of hundreds of families to help Chen Mu build a house!

Seeing that Chen Mu was standing in place, the old man also thought that Chen Mu had acquiesced, and immediately waved his hand behind him.

"Take advantage of the rain and the soft ground, clear the ruins, dig out the foundation, and get some work quickly!"

The people behind him got the old man's orders, so they rushed by, blending the stunned Chen Mu and others into the crowd.

Ah Lai Ba saw this scene, and was already secretly wiping his face, not just wiping the rain, but also wiping his tears.

He stood up, took off his shoes, kicked on the waistband of his trousers, glanced at Chen Mu, and then joined the ranks of the workers.

After all, they are all villagers in the township, and they all know each other, and seeing that Lai Ba, a bad gambler, is coming, many people should have shown a look of disgust, after all, he is notorious.

But at this moment, no one looked down on him anymore, and the old man instructed him: "Lai out of the field, if you want to work, you have to be diligent, otherwise you don't want you." ”

It seemed that no one had called out to him so seriously for a long time, and Ah Lai Ba trembled and replied excitedly, "Yes! Be diligent by all means! ”

He walked briskly, bent his spine for several years, and finally straightened.
