Volume 3 City of Water Chapter 260 The Place to Stay
"Me?" Xiao Changsheng pointed at himself, very puzzled in his heart.
Xiao Yuan said quietly, "Old lady, in fact, Master Zhou's meaning must have been misinterpreted, he wanted our Xiao family to help, but he didn't say whether it was the Ming Gang or the Secret Gang, if it was the Ming Gang, it was reasonable for you to refuse politely, after all, the other party is the Michelle family, and you have to take care of the lives of hundreds of people in the Xiao family; Before they could specify how they wanted us to help, you refused in fear of the wolf and the tiger, refusing to say anything about the other people's face, even if it was polite, it was too rude, right?
"I ......" Xiao Changsheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then slapped his thigh, as if he had a great realization, "Oh! It's bad, it's bad, this really blames me, why didn't I refuse without listening to someone finish speaking?"
Xiao Changsheng's intestines are about to turn green now, and he can't help him in the open, but the secret help is not a problem, but now, Zhou Nian will give him a chance to take regret medicine?
The old eyebrows were furrowed, Xiao Changsheng stared at Xiao Yuandao in front of him tightly, as if he wanted to hear his opinion, "Then you say, how can we make up for it now? Is there room for redemption?"
Xiao Yuandao shook his head helplessly, "Alas, it is estimated that it is enough, with my understanding of Master Zhou, a master like him will definitely not eat back grass, if we change our words now, not only will we not get any benefits, but we will also be disgusted by the other party, and it will be boring to talk about ourselves." ”
"Then let the master miss out on our Xiao family?" Xiao Changsheng looked unwilling, and he was extremely sorry in his heart.
Xiao Yuandao sighed, "Alas, old lady, the matter has come to this point, it's too late to say anything, now we can only pray that Master Zhou will not hold a grudge against our Xiao family, the coming days will be long, and we will find another opportunity to slowly win together." ”
"How long is it coming?" The hatred in Xiao Changsheng's heart, it was only a small step away from winning over Zhou Nian, it was within reach, fat to his mouth, to put it more bluntly, it was something he nodded and agreed to, but now, a mistake in his understanding, inappropriate words, and an unpredictable future?
Heaven is not merciful!
A pie the size of a pot lid that fell from the sky was smashing down on Xiao Changsheng's head, but he just couldn't catch it, who could blame him?
Seeing that Zhou Nian and the others had packed their luggage, Xiao Changsheng wanted to stay but had no words to keep, and it was a pity not to stay, so he was stunned and stunned, his face looked extremely blue.
He really didn't have the face to say goodbye to Zhou Nian, so he could only hint with his eyes that Xiao Yuandao would perform his own functions, and watch everyone disappear into the courtyard of the Xiao family.
Coming to the gate, Xiao Yuandao bent down deeply and bowed directly to Zhou Nian, "Master, things have come to this point, I'm ...... I really don't know what to say, don't blame our old lady, as the patriarch of the Xiao family, he also has a great hardship, and the hundreds of people in the Xiao family are all counting on him to feed, and it involves too much, so ....... so I hope you can be more considerate. ”
Zhou Nian stopped, turned his back to Xiao Yuan, and said, "Old housekeeper, what's the use of you interceding for him now? He refused without even listening to my request, do you think this is the Xiao family's attitude towards life-saving benefactors? Even if he asks how to help, I will understand his distress, but did he ask?"
"Yes, yes, the master taught me that our old lady now regrets and blames himself very much, I have followed him for nearly twenty years, in fact, he is not afraid of things, but if it is about other people's lives, he is a little shrunken. ”
"Oh, hehe......" Zhou Nian smiled coldly, "I want you to help, it's to help secretly, and it won't reveal the identity of your Xiao family, but what about him? Did he listen to what I said? Since he wants to shrink his hands and feet, then let him continue to shrink, if the manly husband doesn't even have this bit of courage, I don't think this family will be able to run for a long time." ”
Zhou Nian didn't say anything more, raised his legs and walked away.
"Master, slow down!" Xiao Yuandao hurriedly chased after him.
"What's the matter?"
"That ......" Xiao Yuandao struggled inwardly, took a deep breath, and finally mustered up a trace of courage, "Master, the old man licked his face today, this matter is indeed unkind to our Xiao family, but if the master encounters other thorny problems in the future, our Xiao family will definitely do our best to help!"
Xiao Yuandao's words are absolutely sincere, if you hurt someone once, you will be disheartened, and it will be even more difficult to redeem it.
However, although his words were good, Zhou Nian did not appreciate it.
"Hmph!" Nostrils hummed a cold air, Zhou Nian said coldly, "Forget it, the Xiao family's way of repaying the favor, I Zhou Nian has thoroughly understood it today, what do you say to help anything, in my opinion, it's all fucking fart! If you don't have the consciousness of desperate death, don't brag, let alone promise easily, we have a meeting in the mountains and rivers, and we will leave!"
"Hey, master, you...... Listen to my explanation......" Xiao Yuandao shouted anxiously, but the other party didn't look back at all.
Zhou Nian really left this time, and he naturally wouldn't have any more intersections with those who made promises lightly but didn't believe in them afterwards.
Watching the young man leave, Xiao Yuandao was like a fish in his throat, and it was the most uncomfortable to miss the taste of a master, just like when he was the champion in high school, he encountered a duplicate name.
"Alas, alas, alas!"
Sighing a few times, Xiao Yuandao was so sad that he couldn't help it, who let the Xiao family not plant it?
"Bang!"
Kicking on the stone lion in front of the door, Xiao Yuandao kept shaking his head and sighing, and then returned to Xiao's house with a helpless face.
On the street, Zhou Nian walked in front of everyone without saying a word.
Gu Yan behind her frowned, through what she heard just now, she also roughly figured out the ins and outs of the matter, but she didn't think of a good idea for a while, so she had to follow silently at the moment.
Qianying moved quickly, and a jade hand suddenly grabbed Zhou Nian's palm, and while parallel to him, he suddenly opened his mouth and smiled, "Hehe, are you still angry?"
Zhou Nian turned his head and saw that it was Lian Meng's little girl.
"Nope. Turning his head to look ahead, Zhou Nian let Lian Meng pull him.
Lian Meng frowned, "No, how can you keep a straight face without you?"
"Think about things. ”
"What do you want?"
"Hmm...... Where to stay. Zhou Nian hesitated slightly, and suddenly stopped, "At present, there are too many of us, and it is inconvenient to act, I want to divide it, you call everyone over, and I will make general arrangements." ”
"Good. Lian Meng nodded very energetically, seeing that Zhou Nian was not too angry because of the Xiao family's affairs, he hurriedly ran to the back to call someone.
Three minutes later, the crowd formed a circle in a secluded place.
"Master, what should we do next?" Zhao Yi was the first to speak, directly throwing out the doubts of everyone present.
Zhou Nian pinched his chin and thought for a while, then said, "With my current connections in the City of Water, there are three reliable places to go, I think so, we can be divided into three teams, Zhao Yi, Gong Cheng, Liang Mengxue, you are all Dan masters, you can go to Song Tiegui to settle down, Dan Shi and Yao Shi, you can communicate with each other, I believe he will be very welcome." Lian Heng, Ai Muhan and Xiao Zhi, you can go to the Hu family in a team, the eldest lady there Hu Yi has a little friendship with me, but she doesn't have a good temper, you just try not to mess with her;
"Hmmm......"
As soon as the arrangement came out, everyone bowed their heads and pondered.
"Hey, master, don't forget me. ”
Naturally, it was the little electric fox who was tamed by Zhou Nian, since he entered the Xiao family, this little guy has been hiding in Zhou Nian's bag, and now that it has been dropped, it is obviously a little unhappy.
Zhou Nian shook his head helplessly, and was about to speak, but saw Lian Meng looking over curiously, "Hey, Zhou Nian, did you hear the cry of the little demon beast?"
"This ...... Alas, you still found out. Shaking his head, since he was discovered, Zhou Nian didn't have to continue to hide it, summoned the little electric fox and put it on the ground, and introduced seriously, "Everyone, this little guy's name is the little electric fox, and he is a little spirit beast that I just adopted." ”
"Wow, that's so cute!"
As soon as the little electric fox appeared, Lian Meng suddenly became interested, the girl's favorite thing is those small animals that are similar to plush toys, reaching out to touch the fur on its body, but Zhou Nian grabbed it.
"Don't move! This little creature may seem cute, but he has a fierce temper, and if a living person comes close, it will discharge electricity. ”
"Really?" Lian Meng was interested, he didn't care at all, he completely took Zhou Nian's words as a deaf ear, and reached out and stroked the fur of the little electric fox.
"Isn't that pretty good?"
"You ......" Zhou Nian was surprised, the little electric fox at this time was as docile as a little sheep.
Squatting down slightly, Lian Meng simply took the little electric fox in his arms with the courage to stand up and stare at Zhou Nian, with a hint of disgust in his eyes, "You lied to me?"
"I ...... Where do I have it?" Zhou Nian was a little aggrieved, this little electric fox was too bad for himself.
"Didn't you say it was fierce? Why didn't I hold it at all?"
"Maybe it'...... It...... Hey, how did you do it? Why did you give me a waist?" Zhou Nian suddenly blamed the little electric fox, but the latter suddenly turned his head and lost his temper.
"Shout, you dare to ignore me?"
"Hey, you don't want to kill it, what should you do if you're scared?" Lian Meng stood up for the little electric fox, which further fueled the arrogance of the latter, not only pouting, but also daring to pout.
"You ......"
"Hey, you still want to kill it?"
"I ......"
Zhou Nian was annoyed, and he had a dream to support it, so he naturally didn't dare to take the little electric fox.
"Ahem......" A light cough came, Zhao Yi really didn't want to eat this "dog food", and interjected, "Master, it stands to reason that we shouldn't disturb the conversation between you, but for now, let's find a place to settle down first." ”
"Forehead ......"
As soon as he got to the point, Zhou Nian's attitude immediately became serious, "Okay, my previous arrangement, do you have any objections?"
"No, I listen to you. Zhao Yi was the first to agree, because Zhou Nian's arrangement was very thorough.
"Neither did I. Gong Cheng echoed casually, as an apprentice, he naturally had to follow the master.
"Brother Zhou, we don't have either. Lian Heng covered the opinions of others and hugged his fist towards Zhou Nian.
"Okay, in that case, then let's go our separate ways, if we encounter any difficulties, send a signal to the Ming Bamboo of Diyun Palace, and I will rush there as soon as possible." ”
"Good!"
"Good!"
Everyone agreed, said goodbye on the street, and went to different places.
