Chapter 18 New Life

It was getting late, and the people who had been busy all day in Jian'an City began to pack up their stalls and go home, even the most prosperous and lively Suzaku Street seemed to be crowded at the moment.

Chen Xiaosan of Baifangzhai lowered his head and crossed his fingers, calculating whether his salary in the past half a year was enough, and he went to Yihong Courtyard, the largest green building in the city, to drink a pot of flower wine, although half a year's salary did make his flesh hurt, but when he came to Jian'an City, if he couldn't go to Yihong Courtyard to drink a pot of flower wine, then even if he returned to his hometown in the countryside in the future, he couldn't raise his head in front of his companions! Gritting his teeth, Chen Xiaosan took out a tightly wrapped red cloth from his arms, carefully put him on the table, and opened it layer by layer, revealing five yellow and clear long strips of medium-grade spirit stones, this is Chen Xiaosan's salary for half a year, seeing the spirit stone, Chen Xiaosan hesitated a little again, but when he thought of the delicate and lovely little lady in Yihong Courtyard and the pride when he touted it in front of his companions in the future, Chen Xiaosan's heart was down, and he decided to go to Yihong Courtyard to be chic after work. Just as he was indulging in his nightlife dream, a storage bag slammed on the wooden table in front of him, pulling Chen Xiaosansheng out of his dream.

"Who! Don't you see that we're going to close?" Chen Xiaosan was about to scold when he opened his mouth, he was most annoyed that others interrupted him when he was fantasizing, but after he saw clearly what was in front of him, he immediately changed to a flattering smile, his eyes narrowed into a thin slit, and the corners of his mouth were almost grinning to the root of his ears.

"Yo, guest officer, please!" Chen Xiaosan hurriedly got out of the counter with his head bowed, bowed his head and nodded his head to greet the person, and roared and took out a jar of fine tea from behind the counter to make tea for the guests, this was not his job, but the boss in order to save labor costs Baifangzhai was divided into two shifts in the morning and afternoon, the morning is the best time for Baifangzhai's business, and naturally it is also the most complete time, whether it is to usher in the delivery or serve tea and pour water, there is a special person in charge, but in the afternoon the business is deserted, so the store is left with him and the backyard kitchen, a master chef who makes dim sum。

Originally, this arrangement made Chen Xiaosan extremely unhappy, but today is different, he has seen clearly that the storage bag is woven with the best cloud silk produced in the six heavens, and the golden "Shen" character on the storage bag is embroidered with rare thousand-year-old gold silk, not to mention that such gold silk is used to embroider words, even if it is just cut off and sold cheaply in the treasure store in the north of the city, it is enough for him Chen Xiaosan to eat and drink all his life, even this embroidery is not ordinary, and there is an atmosphere everywhere.

"Big financier! Absolute big financier!" Chen Xiaosan rubbed his hands excitedly, with his Chen Xiaosan's eyesight that he had worked for many years, he would never be mistaken, and at the same time, Chen Xiaosan also knew that such a big financier was often very generous, even if the consumption they gave was enough to cover his year's salary.

When I looked up, I saw that the person who came was about seventeen or eighteen years old, seven feet tall, with white skin, sword eyebrows, starry eyes, red lips and white teeth, a white dress floating out of the dust, a white folding fan in his hand, and long hair as black as a waterfall, and he was tied up with a jasper seven-star hairpin at will.

"Brother Childe!" This is Chen Xiaosan's direct judgment, the person who came must be the son of a big family in the Twenty-Eight Heavens, as for which son brother it is, it is not Chen Xiaosan's knowledge can judge, but this is not important, generally at this time, the son of the brother who comes to buy snacks must go to Yihong Mansion to meet a good match, these brothers and sons are often willing to spend a lot of money or even ten thousand dollars for the sake of a face, and going to Yihong Courtyard This kind of gold cave will be the best time to be in the limelight, so this time is the time when they are often the most generous, not seeking the best but seeking the most expensive can be said to be the only rule for them to buy gifts。

So Chen Xiaosan said while courteously inviting someone to sit down: "Childe, at this time, I came to Baifangzhai to buy pastries must be going to Yihong Mansion to meet the beauty! It just so happened that Benzhai grandly launched the Queqiao Xian series of dim sum today, this dim sum Baifangzhai only makes one a day, and only sells it to an infatuated talent like Gongzi, which is suitable for Gongzi to meet with a beautiful woman!" Chen Xiaosan called out to the talented man in his mouth, but secretly scolded in his heart, such a thing is prepared for you to be wronged, the boss This trick is the most useful, only one a day, and it is crowned with all kinds of gimmicks, dealing with people like you, stupid and rich sons, and a quasi-child.

Just when Chen Xiaosan thought that he would win, he didn't expect that someone would come but didn't answer his words, but asked him about the pastries that were suitable for the elderly.

Chen Xiaosan's eyes widened and his mouth opened the boss, he Chen Xiaosan has been in this Baifangzhai for 20 years, what kind of guest can guess his identity and background as long as he glances at it, but today's guest is strange, obviously the son's dress is still running to buy snacks at this point, if it is not a prodigal playboy, it would be strange, is it really a filial son? Chen Xiaosan muttered in his heart, but eagerly recommended a few Baifangzhai snacks specially created for the elderly for the boy in white.

The boy in white happily chose a few things to pack, and rewarded Chen Xiaosan with a high-grade spirit stone, you must know that a high-grade spirit stone is enough to be worth a hundred medium-grade spirit stones and 10,000 low-grade spirit stones, which is enough for him Chen Xiaosan to work without eating or drinking for ten years, could it be that today he really met a son with a good heart and filial piety? Chen Xiaosan took a bite of the golden yellow long strip of high-grade spirit stone in disbelief, and the clear feeling of teeth between his teeth made Chen Xiaosan's legs and feet weak, and he almost fainted happily.

Wuyi Lane is a remote alley in the southwest corner of Jian'an City, the alley is overgrown with weeds and dust, there are only a few dilapidated and collapsed old houses, but all of them are hung with a copper lock that has been stained with patina, the mouth of the alley is full of garbage discarded by people, the vomit of drunkards, from time to time there are a few green-headed flies in the afterglow of the sunset around a few pieces of dried dog poop buzzing, the sour smell can be smelled even if it is far away, no one would have thought that such an alley can still live in people.

The old man who pulls the shadow of the person at sunset, the southwest corner of the Wuyi Alley is even more inaccessible, only a few stray dogs rummag through the pile of garbage at the mouth of the alley from time to time to find some food, a white-clothed man carrying a large box of Baifangzhai dim sum sword eyebrows came to the front of this Wuyi Alley, and before he got close, he was smoked by the pungent sour smell and frowned, hesitated again and again, and the white-clothed boy still walked in.

The man in white stood in front of a dilapidated and collapsed house, saying that the house was actually almost in ruins, two dilapidated courtyard doors, one fell to the side and the other hung crookedly, where the wind creaked, the yard was overgrown with weeds more than three feet high, it was supposed to be the main building of two conjoined tile houses, the west half also collapsed, revealing the mud-wrapped beams, from time to time there were a few stray cats and dogs where to climb up and down, only the east half of the house was crookedly poked where, it seemed that it would not be long before it would follow in the footsteps of the West House, a wooden door frame without a door in the east room is swarthy, as if a large sharp mouth is about to devour all the comers.

"Can there really be people living here?" the man in white sighed with his brows deep together

"Is the temple coming?" said an old voice from the eastern half of the room, which was almost collapsing.

"It's me, Diansheng!Mother, I'm coming to see you!" Shen Diansheng or the former monkey Xiaomao opened his mouth to answer

After a while, an old lady wearing a patched dress with one hand almost trotted out, she walked very quickly and almost tripped over the door frame, but the other hand was still holding the white hair that had been knotted and dried up like a pile of grass, and the old face was full of folds, but she was trying her best to make a flattering smile: "Dian'er, where are you, let Weiniang touch you!"

Shen Diansheng noticed that the old man's eyes were not focused, and his two hands were blankly grasping in the air, Shen Diansheng hurriedly took two steps forward, pulled the old lady's rough hands and put him on his face for her to touch.

The old lady touched it very slowly and carefully, as if she wanted to engrave his appearance into her heart: "My son has grown up, he is so handsome, is it time to marry a daughter-in-law!" The old lady looked very happy, and her two cloudy old eyes narrowed into a slit.

"I..." When the words came to his mouth, Shen Diansheng swallowed it back, he wanted to open his mouth and tell the old man that he was actually a monkey Xiaomao, he was not Shen Diansheng, the real Shen Diansheng had already died in the laboratory of the Skillful Instrument Workshop, but he looked at the happy appearance of the old man, he only felt that every word of this sentence seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, so he couldn't spit it out. I had to lower my head and hum lowly.

"Oh, what kind of girl is it!" The old lady stroked Shen Diansheng's hand on his face, trembling slightly with excitement, and without waiting for Shen Diansheng to answer, she walked back to the house and took out a package and handed it to Shen Diansheng.

This is a gift for my mother to her future daughter-in-law. The old lady said in an almost ostentatious tone

This is a small package but full of seven layers, each layer is holding a big dead knot, it can be seen that the owner cherishes it very much, which makes Shen Diansheng have to use true qi to cut off the dead knot, when Shen Diansheng cut off the last dead knot, he was stunned by the things in front of him, tears instantly blurred his eyes, although this package is small, there is a full layer of diamond-inlaid jade jewelry, the eyes are full of reach, reach out and touch, and even feel the faint body temperature on it, think that the old lady must be holding it every day to sleep, Today's Shen Diansheng once said that Monkey Xiaomao was born and never saw his parents, since he was a child, he urinated with Monkey Four and Two and Monkey Little Sister, and the three of them depended on each other, growing up on the street every day to worry about their belly, sometimes in order to fight for a fruit, and even had to break out a large-scale fight with others, he had never experienced the love from his parents, but at this moment he really felt a strong love of licking calves from this old lady, any piece of jewelry here was enough to change it into a spirit stone, this old lady had no worries about food and clothing, at least she didn't have to live in this ruin, but she didn't do it, she just saved it, this is what she saved for her son's future daughter-in-law, Monkey Xiaomao didn't know how much of a bastard Shen Diansheng, the original owner of this body, was to abandon his own life in such a tattered and even dirty and disgusting environment for more than ten years, but at this moment, Monkey Xiaomao was deeply moved by this sudden maternal love.

"Mother!" This lady monkey Xiaomao shouted really, although he hated everything that the Skillful Workshop had done to him, but at this moment he was a little grateful, if it wasn't for the Skillful Workshop to turn him into Shen Diansheng, he would probably never have experienced such a calf-licking feeling.

"Let's go, I'll take you out of here, let's go back to Shen's house to live!" Monkey Xiaomao almost squeezed the sentence out of his throat with a crying voice.

"No! no, no!" The old lady hurriedly withdrew her calloused hand from Monkey Xiaomao's hand, waved her hand again and again, and said, "Son! Mother can't go back, Mother is going back, I'm afraid your good days are coming to an end, and Shen Qianxing will not allow Mother to go back." ”

Monkey Xiaomao or Shen Diansheng is extremely resolute at the moment, if he continues to let this old man live in this kind of place, he will not be able to sleep well, he is not the cold-blooded Shen Diansheng before, he can't be so decisive and cold-blooded, if he can't take care of his old lady, this Shen Diansheng is not right, even if the Qiaoqi Workshop wants to further cancel his freedom, he will not hesitate.

"Let's go, mother, I'll take you away!" Shen Diansheng couldn't refuse to carry the old lady.

The old lady was very resistant, and even picked up a hosta and put it against her loose throat and said with tears: "Son! You will be satisfied with this heart! It's just that your life has just begun! If you let others know that you have such a mother called Huazi, people will laugh at you Shen Gongzi, and your mother can't be a burden to you! If you force your mother again, your mother will die in front of you now." As if to prove her determination, the hosta in the old lady's hand had pierced her skin, and the red blood flowed down the loose and dry skin, gathering in the deeply sunken collarbone.

"I..." Shen Diansheng looked at the old lady in disbelief, he didn't know why the old lady was so decisive, but he still slowly put the old lady down, and said cautiously: "Okay! Mother, I promise you, if you don't go back to the Shen family, we won't go back, but your injuries should be treated by me!"

It's just that the old lady didn't have the slightest intention of putting down the hairpin in her hand, and when she heard Shen Diansheng's words, she held the hairpin tighter, and scolded sharply: "You go! You go! Don't come to see me again from now on! The old body is no longer your mother! Just as if the old body has never given birth to a son like you." The old body will never appear in this Jian'an City again, and if you dare to come to me, the old body will die in front of you. ”

Shen Diansheng was completely stunned, he didn't know why, when he mentioned going back to the Shen family, why did the old lady react so much, even if she didn't want to go back to the Shen Mansion, she just refused, why bother, forced each other to death, and even made trouble to the point of breaking off the relationship between mother and son, if she really didn't want to go back to the Shen Mansion, she could also find another house in the city to settle her, although it was very heartbreaking, but looking at the old lady's posture, if she didn't agree to her again, I was afraid that she would really kill herself in front of herself.

"Yes! I promise you!" After saying that, Shen Diansheng knelt down and slammed his head three times at the old lady, these three heads Shen Diansheng did not use his true qi to protect his body and kowtow his head to break the blood flow, so he stomped his feet helplessly and left, but he secretly swore in his heart that he must find out the reason, if he can't even save his own physical mother, he would rather fight with the Skillful Weapon Workshop to break the net.

When Shen Diansheng's footsteps completely disappeared into the alley, the old lady slipped helplessly against the door frame, and two lines of tears in her cloudy old eyes poured out like a fountain and shouted to the void: "Okay! You are satisfied! Dian'er will never see me again in the future." ”

In the shadow of the alley, a man in black with a black gauze hat appeared in the shadows, and bowed to the old lady and said, "Madame, please keep the promise of the year and leave Jian'an City as soon as possible, and the little one should go back to the master as soon as possible." After saying that, you retreated into the shadows of the alley and disappeared.
