In the next few days, Chen Xing went to the housekeeper center every day to drink tea, but he never met a suitable one.

In fact, the housekeepers here are all good, and there are even some who have served the big nobles, and they are very good in terms of words and deeds and how they treat people, and they can't find much fault. But Chen Xing always felt that they were like a deep pool, silent and calm, bottomless, unable to see the depths of their hearts.

Because you don't understand, you can't trust it. In this embarrassing situation, Chen Xing thought of Lao Ji. Anyway, Lao Ji has also lived in Ice Blue City, so he may be able to provide some advice.

"Looking for a housekeeper?" Hearing Chen Xing's request, Lao Ji was extremely excited, "I just have a candidate here!" ”

"Who?" Chen Xing asked.

"An old friend, who worked as a housekeeper for a big family, now has no job." Lao Ji said.

"That's fine, bring it over and have a look." Chen Xing said.

"This ......" But at this time, Lao Ji was hesitant.

"What's wrong?" Chen Xing asked.

"He, he didn't take the initiative to look for a job, maybe, he may want you to come to the door in person......" Lao Ji said with some embarrassment.

Chen Xing couldn't help frowning, how could there be a reason for the boss to come to invite employees, and then remembered the allusion of the three visits to the thatched house, whether he could go to the door or not, it depended on whether it was a talent, so he asked, "Is it worth it?" ”

"Worth it, definitely worth it! Decent, kind-hearted, a good person, but not very lucky......"

"Tell me about him." Chen Xing said.

"He was my playmate when I was a child, and his nickname was Old K, because he looked like the old K in playing cards, tall and square."

"Old K is an orphan, and the cleaning aunt on the street picked it up and raised it, and lives on the same street as me. He fought as a soldier and later went to the Polly family. ”

"After I came back, I heard that the Polly family was destroyed by Dongfang Xuanyuan, and his wife and daughter were insulted in the street. I was worried about his safety, so I thought about going back to Ice Blue City. ”

"Under normal circumstances, disputes between lords do not spill over to their servants. A few days ago, I found his address through the butler center. However, his current condition is not very good, and the young lady of the Polly family was brought up by him. When something like this happened, he was in pain and very depressed. ”

"Hmm......" Chen Xing pondered for a moment and agreed to go to Lao K's residence.

In any case, such a person is at least affectionate and righteous. Moreover, the other party is Lao Ji's friend, and he can be regarded as knowing the roots.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xing took the two maids and Lao Ji to meet up and went to the apartment in Sweetwater Lane.

There are slums everywhere, even the dreamy castle of Ice Blue. Sweetwater Lane is the slum of Ice Blue City, but it looks better than many of the larger city neighborhoods.

Quiet and elegant, clean and tidy, with flowers and plants planted everywhere, full of peaceful life.

However, there was an air of stale in Apartment 402, dark and obscure, like the place where the dying lived.

When I first met Lao K, Lao K's spirit was not very good. With a huge body, he sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the wooden puppet in his hand in a daze from time to time. The puppet is not very well carved, and the craftsmanship is rough, but it can be seen that it is a girl.

Lao K is more than two meters tall, a whole head taller than Chen Xing, his face is boxy, and his beard covers half of his face, so he can't see his face clearly. The gray hair was long and messy, uncombed for a long time, like a straw nest. Seeing Chen Xinglai, he just nodded, not very enthusiastic.

"Old K, this is Lord Chen Xing, who has just won the title of baron, and he is very powerful." Lao Ji patted Lao K's shoulder and introduced.

"Hello, sir." After a long while, Lao K's gaze withdrew from the puppet, and he greeted Chen Xing with a sluggish response.

"Who is she?" Chen Xing pointed to the puppet in Lao K's hand and asked.

"She ......" Lao K's gaze was out of focus, and he didn't seem to understand Chen Xing's words.

"Your Excellency is asking you, who is this carving in your hand?" Lao Ji repeated.

"Ashahi, my poor Ashahi." Old K squirmed his lips, as if talking to himself.

"Ashashi Poli, the eldest lady of the Polly family, has been brought up by Lao K since she was a child, just like ......" Speaking of this, Lao Ji's expression was a little unbearable, "Just like his daughter......"

"Is she still alive?" Chen Xing asked.

"Alive, but ......" Lao Ji hesitated for a while, looked at Lao K with his head down several times in succession, and finally sighed, "It is estimated that it is more tragic than death." ”

After being silent for a long time, Chen Xing pressed Lao K's shoulders and said, "Friend, as long as she is alive, there is still hope." ”

Old K raised his head, his eyes were hollow and out of focus, "No, it's impossible......" He shook his head to himself, as if he had lost all hope.

"In that case, forget it, I don't want waste." After speaking, Chen Xing turned around and left without the slightest pause. Ye Qian and Li Mei turned their heads sympathetically, glanced at them a few times, and followed their master downstairs.

As soon as he walked to the front hall, there was a sudden sound of banging upstairs, and then he saw Lao K rushing down with a rolling belt, his eyes open like copper bells, staring at Chen Xing, he was silent for a long time, and squeezed out a few words between his teeth, "Do you have a way to save her?" ”

"Nope." Chen Xing shook his head.

The spark in Old K's eyes quickly extinguished.

"But ......," Chen Xing paused, "If the opportunity is right, I can pay a sum of money and try to redeem her." Afraid that the other party would misunderstand, he stressed again, "It's just trying without affecting my interests." ”

He is just a town-level baron, the lowest nobleman, although he has a little money in his pocket, but he is not arrogant enough to dare to go against Duke Zilan, which is no different from suicide.

Old K stared at Chen Xing's eyes, as if he wanted to see something in his eyes. After being silent for a long time, Lao K slammed the wooden handrail hard as if he had made up his mind, "Okay, I'll go with you!" ”

"Hahaha, great, old K, we can be partners again!" Seeing Lao K agree, Lao Ji excitedly slapped the other party's shoulder.

"Old friend, help me get a haircut." Old K pleaded.

"Great!" Lao Ji shouted, and ran into Lao K's room excitedly, looking for tools for a haircut.

After a while, in the small garden downstairs, Lao K sat on a wooden chair, and Lao Ji tied the curtain cloth that he ripped off, and trimmed his long gray hair little by little with a razor. Ye Qian was holding a towel, and Li Mei was standing aside with a basin of water.

Taking advantage of this moment, Chen Xing checked Lao K's information.

……

Lao K's attributes and skills are still quite good, with elite-level strength, and a strong sense of service, psionic shields and psionic armor are different, and they can protect third parties.

"Wow!"

Ye Qian's exclamation pulled Chen Xing's thoughts back. Looking up, an old, strong, hard-lined face appeared in sight.

It is like a sword that washes away the dust and shines again. I saw that the old K had a flat head, his beard was neatly trimmed, his eyebrows were thick, his eyes were deep, and he was gentle in his seriousness, and he was indescribably calm and handsome.

"My lord, I just made you laugh."

Lao K untied the cloth on his body, stood up straight, and bowed solemnly to Chen Xing.

"It's okay, I'll be my own person from now on." Chen Xing stretched out his hand.

Lao K held it with both hands, and his palms were thick and warm, somewhat similar to Tienuo.
