Fang Chao stood in the dark alley, he didn't know why he was in tears, he had never raised his head in the family for so many years.

For as long as he can remember, the deepest impression in his memory is the appearance of his father serving tea and water to the so-called inner disciples in the family, and the elders in the family are counted, but later he even had to serve people like Xiang Fangxue.

He once asked his father why he bowed his head and why he bowed to those who were teenagers, and his father could only gently stroke his hair and say, "I'm sorry, but that's how we can live." ”

He wished that his father would not say so, and that he would not apologize.

From a very young age, he knew the sorrow of being the lowest child of the family, maybe he was not worried about not having food, he didn't have to worry about sleeping on the road one day, but he had no dignity, and the strict rules in the family doomed people like Fang Chao to never raise their heads.

Walking on the road, you must bow when you see a child of the same age but born in the inner door, you can't say anything bad about the inner disciple in front of your face or even behind your back, even a doll who has not yet entered elementary school stands in front of you, you must also bow, Fang Chao hates these rules but has to obey them.

He had hoped that he could be talented, because only in this way might he be able to attract the attention of the elders in the family, to help him turn over, and to step into the inner door one day and not have to bend down to everyone, but God did not give him this talent, and there is one thing that Fang Xue is not wrong, even he thinks he is a waste.

Sitting in the restaurant, Fang Chao looked at the plate in front of him and was silent, he didn't know what to say about the scene that happened in the alley before, which made the banquet that originally celebrated Song Shun's entry even more boring.

"I think it's better to disperse today, the coming day is long, and I have to take care of the ...... when I go back" Song Shun wanted to say goodbye first.

But at this moment, Fang Chao suddenly raised his wine glass and drank it all, and then blushed and said loudly: "From now on, our team, please you, I know that I don't have any ability, but I was lucky to meet you, and I also know that I am actually a very cowardly person, it seems that I have a lot of friends, but in fact, there are very few people who really regard me as their own, but I also want to raise my head in the family one day, so ...... So...... I can only shamelessly ask you. ”

After speaking, he poured himself another glass of wine and drank it all, Tang Yao and Song Shun glanced at each other, and then he raised his glass with a smile and said: "It's not that serious, my popularity is very poor, but it's good to meet you, no matter what, today is a wedding banquet to celebrate Song Shun's joining, and the wine glass still has to be touched." ”

The originally silent wine banquet was re-enlivened after Fang Chao's sincere words, and the three boys finally opened the conversation after a few glasses of wine, chatting about life, games, anime and even girls, and then drank until the restaurant closed, and the three of them went home separately.

In the rental house, Tang Yao was lying on his marching bed, and San Yao had already come back first, at this time, he could hear the sound of music coming from next door to the curtain, Tang Yao looked at the dusty glass window and asked, "Are you in any trouble?" ”

The next door to the curtain was quiet, and Sanyu seemed to be asleep, Tang Yao sighed and said, "I don't know if I can help you in trouble, but if you need to, you can speak, I owe you a lot of favors, and I don't hesitate." ”

After speaking, Tang Yao turned over and fell asleep for a while, and on the other side of the curtain, San Yao leaned sideways, her eyes under the green silk flashed with a strange light, and the mobile phone screen in her hand was displaying a message from Uncle Kun, writing: The three brothers of the wind demon have discovered your whereabouts, remember to live in a secluded place recently, and it is best to change your residence frequently.

After reporting the matter of the evil search disk to Ao Tianchong, Tang Yao had not yet received instructions for the next step, and his life returned to his original state, going to and from class every day, and then regularly decocting medicine to himself to prevent the poison of the insects from speeding up the attack, but even if he kept taking the medicine, the poison of the insects still attacked twice, and it was not particularly painful when he attacked, but he was uncomfortable, as if there were countless small ants crawling on his body, and after these two attacks, he scratched the skin on his body red and swollen.

In addition to the poison of the insects, Tang Yao also has one more trouble, that is, the recent business is not very good, Fang Chao is out to contact the business, but the business that can be pulled back is not very profitable, the original high-quality customers are relatively few, and the business pulled back may not be negotiated, plus there are not many people who believe in the illusionist, so half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, but they have not even negotiated a business.

"If you continue like this, you have to starve to death, Song Shun, do you have any old customers there, ask if you have any business to do recently." Song Shun's home has now become a meeting place for the team, and Fang Chao asked helplessly as he looked at another call from a customer who had canceled the meeting.

Song Shun shook his head and said, "It's not that there are no customers, but the tasks entrusted by my original customers, I'm afraid we won't be able to take it." ”

"Why?" Fang Chao asked.

Tang Yao said on the side: "I'm afraid that these customers are either killing people or overstepping goods." ”

Song Shun shrugged his shoulders and didn't deny it, Fang Chao scratched his head and said: "What to do, business is not good, we are really not as good as Yuan Yu, I heard that Yuan Yu's performance this month has been completed ahead of schedule, and last month was also over-met, and the ranking has also risen slowly, except for the accident in the early stage of the last impact and almost didn't pass, he has almost never encountered any trouble, and it has been said in the circle, after Yuan Yu goes to the second stage in a few years, the Dead Bones Hall wants to leave him or give him a supervisor-level position, That is, he has the same status as Boss Guo, or he will leave the Dead Bones Hall and return to the family and take over the family's business, anyway, when people come to the Dead Bones Hall, it is just gilded. ”

Tang Yao took a sip of water and said: "We can't compare with others, there is family help behind them, of course, we can't deny that Yuan Yu's personal strength is also very strong, but the truth that it is good to enjoy the shade with his back to a big tree is always right, we hope that one day we can become a towering tree, and we have to bear this hardship." ”

"By the way, how are you practicing in the past half month, you have to hit the first stage in the middle of next year." Fang Chao asked.

This question really asked Tang Yao's pain point, his progress in the past half a month seemed to have suddenly slowed down a lot, unlike before, he could see progress almost every day, whether it was practicing illusion or breaking illusion, and even in refining qi, it seemed to have entered a bottleneck period.

According to Master Sonomoto, every illusionist will encounter a bottleneck when approaching the initial stage, some people can't step through this hurdle in their lives, while some people can easily get through, which mainly depends on personal talent and even luck, but Master Sonomoto is still optimistic about Tang Yao's current situation, thinking that Tang Yao is at least improving, it doesn't matter how fast or slow the progress is, as long as he continues to improve, he can always cross the hurdle of the initial stage, and then he will usher in an explosive period of strength.

The old soldier gave a very vivid analogy, he said that this period can be seen as a traffic jam, if it is completely jammed, then there is no way to know when it will be able to pass through the congested section, but if the vehicle moves slowly, at least there is hope.

"How is the situation in the past few days, has it improved?" Tang Yao asked.

Song Shun shook his head and said: "No, it's still stupid, I hired a nanny, and I will let the nanny take care of him when I'm not at home in the future, by the way, I also secretly checked the name Gong Yuling that he said at the time, but I didn't find anything, the 'ghost thief' does have the existence of the Gong clan, it is a very large clan, the strength is smaller than the Song clan, but the status is also very important, but I didn't find out that there is a person named Gong Yuling in the Gong clan." ”

Tang Yao was about to answer, but the mobile phone rang, he took it out and saw that it was the old soldier who called, generally speaking, the old army rarely took the initiative to contact him, and every time he couldn't come to practice, he would call the old army in advance.

"Brother Jun, what's the matter?" Tang Yao asked.

"You come to Nanhai Road, I'm waiting for you at a dim sum shop here, there is a business to introduce to you, the client has arrived, you come and talk about it." After speaking, Lao Jun hung up the phone, and then sent the address to Tang Yao.
