South of Luohua City, Tianshan Inn.

Meishan was ready to go in the courtyard, Meng Jiu circled around him a few times, and after a while, he looked at him with a complicated expression and said, "Brother Xiaoshan, are you sure you want to be like this?"

Meishan looked at her, and her warm eyes made Meng Jiu feel relieved immediately.

"Jiu'er, now is not as good as in the past, you and I must learn to be self-reliant. ”

"But......" Meng Jiu's expression was still struggling: "But so, I've wronged you too much!"

Mei Shan chuckled, patted her on the shoulder and said, "How can this talk about grievances? Compared with being hungry, this is not a grievance at all." ”

Seeing that Meng Jiu was still waiting to be stopped, he immediately said: "Don't worry, Jiu'er! Supporting a family is a man's responsibility, and Brother Xiaoshan still has this ability!"

As soon as he said that, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, and when he saw Meng Jiuzheng looking at him inexplicably, he immediately blushed and explained: "You and I, adults and Brother Ming are already a family. Now that they're gone, I, the elder brother, should take care of you. ”

After speaking, he picked up the flat pole in his hand and walked out of the inn with a red face and no return.

Meng Jiu was still intoxicated by his sentence of "raising a family" and couldn't extricate himself, and when he came back to his senses, Meishan's figure had almost disappeared at the door of the inn.

"Brother Xiaoshan, I'll make lunch at home and wait for you to come back!"

Facing the white back, Meng Jiu shouted happily.

Meishan, who was about to turn out of the door, paused, turned around with his burden, and replied with a light smile to Mengjiu in the courtyard: "Okay!"

After answering the sound, he turned around again and walked out of the courtyard gate.

Before and after the flat pole, they are all hand-woven bamboo products by him in the past few days. If you are in a hurry, you may be able to set up a good booth in the central square of Luohua City.

Thousands of years ago, adults seemed to have foreseen and arranged everything behind them.

The adults who were rich enough to rival the country, even if they left, left a lot of wealth for them early.

It's just that after the war, a few of them were already disheartened by the departure of adults, and they hurriedly divided their things, so why did they care about those wealth?

Even so, Meishan and Mengjiu did not feel the embarrassment of life in the early hundreds of years. In the years they followed the adults, they had already heard and seen the generosity of the adults, so in the years of living alone, they adhered to the consistent style of the adults, and took it as their duty to help the poor in the Marfa continent.

However, no matter how rich the family fortune is, it cannot withstand hundreds of years of generous donations.

More than ten years ago, Meishan sold his remaining family property in the sand bandit catastrophe in Oasis City, and robbed Hu Tuo, the leader who harbored evil intentions, and then anonymously donated all his wealth to the affected people and merchants, which pushed Oasis City back to the original prosperity track.

Originally, he had a little bit of family wealth, but after that year, he became completely destitute.

This time I walked the Marfa continent for the treasure hunt girl, and the money used came from the money saved by Meishui after the dowry......

Seeing that there were not many hundreds of coins left, fortunately, he finally found the trace of the treasure girl in this Falling Flower City, and unexpectedly met Meng Jiu.

Then he won't be able to leave Falling Flower City for the time being......

Looking at Meng Jiu's down-and-out situation, it is obvious that her life has not been much better than her own over the years.

When the adults were there, the most beloved was Jiu'er, which also made Jiu'er never taste the hardships and difficulties of life, but focused on refining medicine and making poison and treating people all day long.

I really don't know how Jiu'er, who has been separated from adults, has supported herself for thousands of years......

But fortunately, Jiu'er built this "Tianshan Inn".

Tianshan Inn, Tianhe Mountain...... Isn't it the Lord and his name?

Thousands of years ago, adults often took them to this bamboo forest for a walk, away from the quiet of the main hall and the downtown area, which made them fall in love with this place.

I remember that Jiu'er said at that time that if they built a hut by this bamboo forest, they could hide here with adults. Even if it's just for one day or one time, it's good that adults don't have to worry about getting tired and worried about dealing with important tasks, and they can enjoy a quiet and ordinary life like ordinary people who are not criticized by the world.

Back then, when Jiu'er said it casually, she never thought that she had really built a house by this bamboo forest.

In the past few days, he learned from Jiu'er that in the early days, because she missed them too much, she spent money to find someone to enclose the land by the bamboo forest, and built these wings around the yard. I imagined that one day, they would all return and still live together in this small courtyard as a family.

It's just that after a long time, most of her money was used to help others, and half was used by her to buy all kinds of brewing materials, and finally more than 100 years ago, in addition to such an inn, she also became a veritable poor person.

After that, in order to make a living, she had to hang a plaque of "Tianshan Inn" outside the courtyard gate, hoping to earn some money to make a living.

But first, because the inn is too remote, there are few customers, coupled with her unremitting winemaking, the whole inn is always filled with a strange smell of sake lees, which affects the inn's business.

And because of her age and appearance, she will leave Falling Flower City in a few years, and she will only come back again when the acquaintances around her are old and dead. This also leads to the inability of the inn to operate and maintain normally.

Over time, she was the only one in the inn. The owner is her, and so are the guests.

The plaque outside the door has been worn out by wind and rain, and most of the furnishings in the inn cannot be used normally due to disrepair, and the once familiar neighbors around them have long been replaced one after another.

The only thing that hasn't changed is always her.

When the two reunited, the Man of Destiny happened to appear in Falling Flower City again, and they couldn't help but make a decision at the same time, to stay in the city they are most familiar with and nostalgic for, and also to guard their hopes!

Two days ago, the two couldn't help but go to Ruyi Xuan again, but unfortunately not only did they never see Miss Bao, but even Lu Yunchu disappeared. When asked about the shopkeeper of Ruyixuan, I learned that the boss took the proprietress to "travel", and it would take some time to return.

The two had to come back and wait in peace.

But while waiting, they need to survive, and there must be various expenses to survive.

When Meishan rummaged through his body and only found twenty-two Ma Fa coins, he asked Meng Jiu with a red face, do you have any money left?

Meng Jiu immediately rummaged through the cabinets, and it took a long time to dig out a silver hairpin and a pair of earrings from the bottom of the box, and asked him if these counted? He looked at the dilapidated inn, sighed and asked the question he had been wondering about: Jiu'er, how have you supported yourself all these years?

Eventually, the two had to face the most real question of their time: how to make ends meet?

Mengjiu said that she could refine some medicine to sell, or heal people. She said that over the years, when she was desperate, she would occasionally earn a little money to make ends meet.

But he didn't agree.

How can a big man be raised by a weak woman?

When his melancholy eyes passed through the courtyard and stopped at the bamboo forest outside the inn, he thought of a way in his heart.
