Until Ji Yutong brought Bang Feng back to the yard intact, Bang Zhu couldn't come back to his senses.

Bang Feng himself thought it was nothing, but Bang Zhu, and when he woke up, his heart almost stopped beating in fright.

"Miss! You've brought the wind back like that! Master Hou actually doesn't embarrass you! ”

If Ji Yutong was a god-like figure in Bangzhu's heart in the past, then the current Ji Yutong is a god, turning all the impossible into possible gods!

"What's so embarrassing about this, have we done anything wrong, if you really want to talk about reason, can they talk about me?"

Touching Bang Feng's head, Ji Yu praised him.

"See, you can't be instigated when you encounter something similar in the future, you can't be afraid, it's very good to save the wind, you see, she's okay now, right? Bang Zhu, you really have to learn something in the future. ”

"Mmmm, I'll try to learn like Bangfeng! Miss, don't worry! ”

Bang Zhu nodded seriously, and the light in his eyes was unwavering.

Ji Yutong smiled and nodded, "By the way, you said that the eldest lady came to rob my mother of the dowry?" Didn't snatch it away in the end? Is there anything missing or broken? ”

Bang Zhu was stunned, and then he was a little hesitant, "It seems to be ...... Probably not......"

Her eyes were visibly evasive, and her ears were red, and even fools could see that she was lying.

Ji Yutong didn't tear her down, but went back to the yard to see it by herself.

It was already late in the search, and it was even darker in her small courtyard, and at first glance she couldn't see anything clearly.

It wasn't until he got used to the moonlight that Ji Yutong vaguely saw that the courtyard was already a mess, everything that could be broken was smashed, everything that could be rotten was trampled, and everything that was dirty and couldn't be wanted was all black.

Seeing this, Bang Zhu and Bang Feng closed their mouths at the same time and stopped talking, Ji Yutong's eyes were slightly cold, he didn't say anything, and walked in with the faint whimpering sound in the house.

There was no electric light in the house, it was darker than outside, only a little moonlight shining in through the window provided some faint light, and the scene of depression and loneliness was in stark contrast to the front yard and the courtyard of the eldest lady.

Ye Qiaolan sat at the table and wiped her tears quietly, only a little unbearable sobbing sound came out, which shows that her patience also has a limit, and these dowries are estimated to be her limit.

Ji Yutong was a little nostalgic and confused for a while.

"Why?"

She walked to Ye Qiaolan and sat down, without lighting a candle, but Ye Qiaolan still sniffed nervously because of her appearance, pretending to be fine, "Hitomi? You're back? ”

"Why? Mother? ”

Ji Yutong held her cold hand, and her big eyes stared closely at this woman who was withered and her hands were so thin that she touched her.

"What?"

Ye Qiaolan didn't quite understand what she wanted to ask, but between a mother and daughter who had been dependent on each other for so many years, how many could ask why.

After a while, her eyes began to darken.

Ji Yutong squeezed her hand, and couldn't stop wondering, "Mother, why did my father marry you?" Married you and left you here alone, don't tell me just because my stupid face was ruined before, this shouldn't be the real reason why he treated you like this. ”

Maybe it was because she didn't light the candles, Ye Qiaolan felt that Ji Yutong couldn't see her face clearly, so she didn't wipe the tears on her face anymore.

And because of the darkness and this quiet and depressed atmosphere, her heart seemed to slowly open up a lot, but Ji Yutong waited for a while, but she still didn't wait for Ye Qiaolan to open her mouth to say these causes and effects.

At the end, Ye Qiaolan patted her hand, "Tong'er, my mother knows that your mood has changed a lot recently, and people have become a lot smarter and smarter, but you don't have to worry about these things, the affairs of our previous generation should not involve you." ”

Hearing her say this, Ji Yutong knew that it would definitely be useless for Ji Mu to ask about the situation.

Sure enough, Ye Qiaolan quickly lit the candle herself and took the initiative to cook.

"Hitomi'er should be hungry when she comes back so late, my mother will make you something delicious, this time I won't eat sugar cakes, let's eat white-cut chicken today, okay?"

“…… Good"

Ye Qiaolan couldn't guess what she was thinking about all day long, after all, she was not her real daughter, and she was not a person who liked to get to the bottom of it.

It's just that looking at Ye Qiaolan's thin back, she is still a little distressed.

Turning around, she glanced at the two girls, "Let's sleep in the house tonight." ”

"Yes, miss."

The two girls spoke in unison, and soon ran to clean up the room.

Ji Yutong dangled in the courtyard for a while, and finally felt that the courtyard was too broken, so he climbed to the wall and sat down.

In this era, nothing is good, there is no mobile phone, no computer, not even basic communication equipment and entertainment equipment, for a senior gamer like Ji Yutong, it is as lonely as snow.

But there is still one good thing here, that is, the scenery here is unique, compared to the previous life, what dark clouds covered the sun, the haze was heavy, and there were not a few stars to be seen at night, this place is simply beautiful.

In the inky night, large and small stars fill the entire night sky, and a round moon exudes a romantic light, hazy and gentle pouring on the face, which is very comfortable.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowded street outside the walls.

"Dead beggar, dare to read a book here for an afternoon without money? Don't you want to die? If you don't give me money tomorrow, you won't come to our store to read books in the future, do you hear!? ”

A long-bearded man dressed like a teacher chased a tall but emaciated young man with a broom, and the young man was not only not angry, but kept saying good things to the store manager.

"Sir, don't, I'll definitely bring money to read tomorrow, I can't afford those books, but I still have the silver for one or two, but I happened to forget to bring it today, don't you really think I don't have money!" You are the only store in the entire capital that can pay to read books! ”

Hearing this oily and somewhat familiar sound, Ji Yutong narrowed his eyes and looked at it fixedly.

Nima! Isn't this the thief who was let go by Chu Mingyang?

It's the one that almost took away three thousand taels!

"Bah, you have money, why don't you buy those books back when you have money, and don't give money to read them every day, when my store is doing good deeds? Hmph, if you want to be a champion, you have to have some capital, just like you, give up and do something serious as soon as possible. ”

The store manager doesn't seem to be a ruthless person, and it should be said that if he was really a ruthless person, he wouldn't have connived at the thief to read books for free so many times without being killed.

Ji Yutong thought that the store manager is probably also a bit of an ideal and kind person, but in order to live, he also has to say some cruel words and do some ruthless things, otherwise everyone will be bullied by him in the future, then his store will really be charitable.

However, this thief actually wants to be the champion?

Just him?

Holding her chin, Ji Yutong decided to take a look at the situation first, anyway, she stared, this thief would definitely not be able to run away tonight.

"What's the matter? I'm just doing business every day, huh? To be a man, you have to have some ideals, right? Didn't you want to be a champion in the first place? Isn't this a haven for opening such a bookstore for the benefit of the public, I am grateful to you, really! ”

After being chased all the way, the thief was also a little tired, so he simply stopped and let the store manager hit him with a broom, he didn't hide, just stared at the store manager very seriously with his eyes shining.

"Sir, seriously, if I Pei Zimo becomes the champion in the future, I will be the first to carry forward your shop, so that the people of the entire Chixiao Kingdom will know that there is a gentleman like you in the capital."

It is estimated that he said too much like this, and the gentleman-like store manager not only did not stop, but played the broom more vigorously.

"Are you still the champion? You have been fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, and when you become the champion, my old man doesn't know where he died, if you are really capable, you will come tomorrow to pay back the reading money you owe today. ”

Pei Zimo screamed a few times, probably because he was really hurt, and his expression was a little painful.

"Good, good! Tomorrow I will definitely change the money for reading, sir, don't fight, really don't fight, in case you break the brain of the future champion, it will be difficult for you to receive the students who come to you! ”

"Oily Tone!"

Mr. was also forced to show others what he wanted, Pei Zimo said that he would pay back the money, so he naturally accepted the broom and left in a hurry.

It is estimated that Pei Zimo has done a lot of such things, resulting in not many people around him being willing to come and see them lively.

Someone passed by the corner of Ji Yutong's side, and she also heard some disdainful discussions.

"This Pei Zimo, it's really three days and two ends that don't let Mr. stop, what's the matter of not doing things and reading books all day at such a young age, if I were his father, I would have been angry to death."

"Yes, for so many years, I have been shouting every day that I want to be the champion, is the champion so good? Hmph, you deserve to be beaten. ”

“……”

I have to say that even if a person with a dream does something shameful, Pei Zimo has not given up this dream for so many years, and Ji Yutong also admires it.

Seeing him get up from the ground in embarrassment, skillfully ignoring the dust on his clothes from everyone around him, and looking ahead with a confident smile, Ji Yutong's heart moved, and he quickly jumped off the wall to stop in front of him.

"Pei Zimo, is it?"

Ji Yutong's sudden appearance startled him a lot.

"Who?! Who are you? ”

Pei Zimo took two steps back with a wary face, however, after seeing Ji Yutong's face clearly, he immediately widened his eyes and ran away.

Ji Yutong knew that he would react like this, so before he could run away, he stretched out a foot and slapped him.

"Whew~"

Pei Zimo fell to the ground and ate a mouthful of ash in the posture of a dog gnawing mud, but he still wanted to slip away.

Ji Yutong squatted down and put down a tael of silver.

"I'm not here to arrest you, I just want to get to know you, after all, there's a saying that says, isn't it, you can never look down on someone who has a dream, what if his dream comes true one day? Right? The champion of the future? ”
