Chapter 70: A Strange Woman

Jiang Chuxue pricked her head down, looked at the cloth shoes on her feet, and said nothing.

"What's wrong with the female heir?" I was surprised, what age is this, and Hu Ran doesn't look like a particularly conservative person!

"No, the Jiang family's puppet technique is special, and the girl can't control it." Hu Ran explained, and then as if he thought of something, he muttered, "It turned out to be twin souls, no wonder." ”

"Since Mr. Jiang intends to let you come to Jiangcheng, then I have the obligation to take care of you."

Hu Ran opened the car door, and Jiang Chuxue and I got into the car. After a long time, Jiang Chuxue suddenly spoke up and lowered her voice, "Uncle Hu, my grandfather is dead..."

"Z..."Audi braked suddenly, Hu Ran's face changed and changed, "Mr. Jiang went?" ”

In my impression, Hu Ran has always been as stable as Mount Tai, and he has never made such a gaffe.

"No, Mr. Jiang shouldn't have left so early."

Jiang Chuxue hugged the puppet and sobbed in a low voice, "My grandfather... Grandpa, he for... In order to save me, just... I just died... He didn't have to die... I only have grandpa... A loved one..."

I didn't know how to comfort her, so I patted her on the shoulder with my hand. It's just the first time I've met her, but I think this girl is very simple, optimistic, and bold, but I didn't expect her relatives to pass away.

"Mr. Jiang entrusted you to me, that is the trust in me." Hu Ran said in a deep voice, restarted the car, and did not ask any more questions, not even asking about the cause of death.

"Are you planning to move out recently? That Dong family's house. ”

I replied, "Yes! Isn't the happy apartment uninhabitable? I was indeed prepared for the past, and now I am also a vagrant, at ease. ”

"Homeless? Poop you think it's too good. Don't you care about the store manager, don't you care about the funeral home? The unicorn interjected at the right time.

That's right, but it's more comfortable than going to work.

"I'm already living in the funeral home, I'm going to let Chu Xue go to you, I'm also busy, I'll leave Chu Xue to you at ease."

He begged me, Hu Ran actually begged me for something, this is unprecedented, but I am a little unhappy.

"Lonely men and widows, is it appropriate?"

"Brother Song, I won't trouble you, just place me wherever you want." Jiang Chuxue hurriedly said. Like a kitten about to be abandoned, its big eyes are full of tears.

My heart was soft, I was afraid of trouble, but this girl's only relatives have passed away. Leave her out alone, isn't her heart too ruthless, and the girl lives in a funeral home... I don't dare to think about it.

"Okay! If you come with me, no amount of help can help you. ”

"I'll give you a day to set her up, and then go to the funeral home to find me, there is a shortage of people there." Hu Ran parked the car at the door of the happy apartment, "I have something to do, let's go first." ”

Mom sells batches! This hand-off shopkeeper dang... But now that he is my boss, as an employee, can he still resist?

"The surname Hu is like this, don't pay attention to him, there is no human touch at all." I pouted.

Afraid that Jiang Chuxue would think about it, she was already sensitive in her heart, and the people entrusted by her grandfather didn't care, didn't it make this girl feel cold?

"Brother Song, I won't trouble you, I can do anything, cook and wash clothes, I can, don't drive me away." Jiang Chuxue looked at me with teary eyes.

I bowed my hand, "Whoever wants to drive you away, you will follow me in the future, didn't you say that you want to visit Jiangcheng?" There is time to take you around. I have been holding a puppet and not tired, and I went into the house to rest. ”

"Not tired! The puppeteer can't leave his puppet, even if it's dead... and be buried with their own puppets. Jiang Chuxue said.

Qilin followed and coaxed, "Baba, will this big sister live with us in the future?" The puppeteer is amazing, one can beat you ten, no! One hundred! ”

I hold my forehead, is it necessary to belittle myself so much? Well? Hit a hundred?

As for these generations, it's all messed up... I'm too lazy to care.

Then I called a moving company and moved all my luggage to the Dong family's old house.

"Brother Song, are you moving? I'll help you. Jiang Chuxue's eyes lit up, and she took off her puppet with her backhand.

"Squeak... Creak... The puppet moved, dancing and jumping, and in the reflection of the sunlight, she could see silver threads connected to her hands.

I was so shocked that I didn't care about what I was doing, "Stop it." ”

Jiang Chuxue was excited, and took the puppet back in a panic, "Big brother... What's wrong... I... I've always done this for my family... Doing things..."

"Someone is responsible for this, don't use the puppet at every turn in the future." I was speechless.

Dolls that move, dolls that can move things, not to mention shocking, but also eye-catching, I don't want to give people too much explanation.

I now know that the puppeteer controls the puppet to do things, like a robot, but the mechanism is not clear, and it can do difficult actions with a few silk threads.

Jiang Chuxue was so frightened by me that she was about to cry again, "I... Am I doing something wrong again? Eldest brother... Am I very... It's stupid. ”

"Big sister, this is Jiangcheng, not my own home. I'm not afraid of them, but others will be afraid of Feifei. Qilin said in an old-fashioned manner, "Don't use these methods lightly, Baba said to keep a low profile." ”

My son's explanation was obviously better than mine, Jiang Chuxue's nervousness relaxed, and she hurriedly carried the puppet back, "I know." ”

Not much stuff, more than enough for a small van. If Ermao hadn't left, I would have requisitioned people and cars, who would have hired people?

"Just leave your things at the door." When I arrived at the door of Dong's house, I was not very worried about these people going in, the things inside were valuable, and it was indispensable to guard against people.

"Hey! Boss, real people can't be disguised! This house doesn't have tens of millions of dollars! The driver was surprised.

Tens of millions? I haven't sold more than a billion. What can I say? Low profile! Low profile!

After the handover, I moved things inside, and the largest piece was a TV. I have visited the old house of the Dong family, and there is an area in it that has been turned into a modern house, and there is water and electricity, which is convenient. If I were to go to live in that kind of ancient house, I would probably be defeated in a day or two.

"Wow! It's a big place! Jiang Chuxue exclaimed, "This is the largest house I've ever seen." ”

"Where did the big sister live before?" Qilin said proudly, still a child's heart.

Jiang Chuxue bit her thumb, "My grandfather and I have always lived in the mountains, and the farthest place to go is the county seat." ”

Then her eyes dimmed, "Grandpa said who we were hiding, last time that person came to the door, grandpa in order to cover me..."

"When you get to Jiangcheng, you can be relieved! There's someone in this place, and when you get really good, you'll beat that guy to the ground. Qilin said in a loud voice, "And I and Baba will also help you, my Baba is amazing." ”

I seem to have a generation gap with them, and I can't intervene... Although Jiang Chuxue is twenty years old, her heart is about the same as that of ten years old, and I don't know much about the world of children.

"Brother Song, you are good people... Except for my grandfather and Feifei, no one has been so good to me. "Jiang Chuxue is like being made of water, crying at every turn.

This good person card was even more caught off guard, and she felt even more sad, this girl is indeed pitiful, homeless and sent under the fence.

After cleaning up the two rooms, it can be seen that Dong Qingzhu will live here, everything is available, and I don't want to rearrange it, I don't pay attention to it. The house is much stronger than my aesthetics, and this elegant style makes me a little embarrassed as a layman.

In the afternoon, I ordered a takeout, ate hastily, and it was dark.

"You're tired from a long day's travel, rest early, I'm going out for something, don't wait for me, I'll come back and buy you toiletries."

"Big brother... When will you be back? The dark night made Jiang Chuxue very uneasy, her eyes kept glancing to both sides, I really don't know what she had experienced, a wind and grass could make her nervous.

"About twelve! I have a job at night. I put my hand on her shoulder, "Jiang Cheng is safe, don't be afraid." If you're scared, close your eyes and sleep, Feifei will protect you. ”

I thought about taking her to the coffee shop, but I thought about it, and it was a matter of displeasure to bring a stranger in. The most important thing is that Jiang Chuxue is still in a state of mind and needs to rest, not to meet more strangers, otherwise it may further stimulate her nerves.

"Oh well! Brother Song... Feifei and I are waiting for you to come back. ”

Bidding farewell to Jiang Chuxue, my pace quickened a little more, because I was eager to ask the store manager something about that guy.

"Poop, the coffee shop has appeared."

Didn't go far, Kirin reminded. The shop is like a rootless pinch, and now it has changed three places, and I didn't make a fuss, took a deep breath, and walked in. The glass door opened automatically, and the fog dissipated.

The first thing that caught my eye was the lovely face of my little sister, and I was very surprised to see it, "Uncle, you're back!" Xiao Gong and I miss you. ”

"Meow!" The cats rubbed at my feet, and the rest of the cats welcomed us.

"Isn't the store manager here today?"

"Yes! Said he was waiting for his uncle. The little sister glanced at the corner, and a figure was sitting inside, who was it not the store manager?

"You're here!" The store manager turned his back to me and never got up, "Don't ask me about some things, I won't tell you if I ask, he won't let me tell you." ”

My pupils shrank, and the store manager already knew what I was coming for.

"It's still possible to deceive you, but that old fox in Song Shoucheng, I'm afraid I can't hide it, I'm mentally prepared, so I'm waiting for you... Waiting for you to return to Jiangcheng. I can only tell you for sure that you have your father behind you. ”

"Father? I never recognized him. I said coldly, "Who is he?" Where is he? ”

"I don't have to say, he has his own troubles." The store manager's words were complicated, "There are some things that I really can't help myself." Of course, I'm not trying to exonerate him, he does feel guilty about you..."

"Guilt? So he wants to make amends? I asked, "I will pay him back what I owe him, and I beg him to stop interfering in our lives, we are doing well." ”

"I can't be the master of these, but I'll help you bring the words." The store manager put down the coffee cup in his hand and slowly got up, "Are you done with your words?" ”

I was stunned, "It's over..."

"When I'm done, get out of here and get to work! There are no idlers in the store! ”

“……………”

I wiped the table, slandering in my heart. The store manager must be a personal vendetta in the communiqué, didn't he just question him? Can you take revenge on me like this? In particular, let me wipe all the tables in the coffee shop, and then mop the floor clean, so that I can't see a little dust, and my little sister is not allowed to help me.

Ma Ma Pi! Too careful. The store manager left, only the little sister looked at me sympathetically, she didn't dare to help.

"Oops! My old waist! "I got up and supported my waist, but I was done, and I wasn't so tired from moving.

"Click! Da! Da! Da! Da! The door opened, and there was the sound of high heels slamming on the floor. I reflexively looked up, and it was a tall woman, wrapped in a snow-white robe and wearing a long feathered felt hat, standing still in the doorway.

You know, it's summer, and wearing a robe doesn't heat people to death? She was dressed like she had just come out of the snowy mountains. The moment she walked in, the temperature in the store dropped sharply, and the cold wind hit directly.

"Do you want coffee?" I asked casually.

The woman took down the slender cigarette in her mouth, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she took graceful steps, "I haven't been to Jiangcheng for a long time, when did I have such a stylish coffee shop, it's quite good!" ”

I couldn't help but take two steps back, this woman was definitely not the kind of person who was entertained in a coffee shop, she had a dangerous aura all over her body, or rather an aura. That queen-like temperament is not something that ordinary people can have.

"What's the matter!" My little sister helped me out.

At this time, Xiao Gong's hair stood on end, and he grinned with more than a dozen of his younger brothers.

"The owner of this shop turned out to be such a cute little sister, I have sugar here, do you want to eat it?" The woman smiled, really took out a handful of candy from her pocket, and when she saw that the little sister didn't take it, she stuffed it back again, "Such a big hostility? ”

"Get out of here!" The little sister said sharply, her big eyes as if there was a flame beating, "You are not welcome in the coffee shop." ”

The woman's face changed slightly, then she regained her composure, took another puff of the cigarette, and played with the taste, "Is this Jiangcheng's dismount for me?" ”

"Dismount? It also depends on whether you are qualified or not! The store manager leaned abruptly against the door, "What kind of cat and dog are these cats and dogs, making trouble on my territory?" ”

The woman's calmness was thrown aside for a moment, a look of horror appeared in her eyes, and she turned her head to look at the store manager suddenly, "Your Excellency... Yes..."

"You don't care who I am, but I'm telling you... Your first stop is in the wrong place, and Jiangcheng is not a place you can take charge of. I don't know how thick the sky is... It's just going to make you die worse. The store manager said blandly.

"Why did you say that, sir?" The woman smiled, "I'm really just passing by... Nothing else... The divinity in the gentleman... But..."

The store manager interrupted her, "I don't care if you mean anything else, although Jiangcheng is my jurisdiction, I'm lazy and don't take care of things, as long as you don't mess with me." ”

"Thank you for your understanding." The woman seems to have put down a big stone in her heart, and whoever intersects with the existence of the store manager will always be in deep awe.

"For the sake of your knowledge, I'll give you another reminder, Jiangcheng is no better than other places. Whether it's the facial paralysis in the funeral home, or the blind old man at the bridgehead, or other guys, you can't afford to mess with them, those guys are not as good at talking as me, let's go! ”
