Chapter 197: Suffering in the World (1)
After agreeing with Kong Ming to visit the Su Mansion again at night, Ye Liancheng was not in a hurry to return to the tavern, he had to be prepared in order to guard against the evil cultivators hiding in the shadows.
First of all, he went to the weapons shop in Chaofeng City to buy a steel knife in his hand, and without the black knife night, he didn't use that ordinary bamboo knife to fight the enemy. The second is to go to Qi Mansion to find Qi Ji again, and ask him to send people to the slums to protect the children who were adopted by Kong Ming in the past few days.
Qi Ji agreed very happily this time, and vaguely passed on his apologies to Ye Liancheng about this morning's incident, in order to make it more convenient for him to act next, Ye Liancheng gladly accepted Qi Ji's apology, and the two became 'good brothers' again.
"Childe, the concubine can appear at night, and with that painted skin, it will not arouse suspicion. After what happened this morning, Hongying was more or less worried about Ye Liancheng's safety, so she made this proposal.
Ye Liancheng, who was walking on the street, shook his head and replied in his heart: "I don't know the true realm of the evil cultivators hidden in the shadows, I can't startle the snake, you are my last hole card, and I have to expose it as a last resort." ”
What a strange metaphor, Hongying rolled her eyes in her residence, but she didn't say anything more, because she sensed a hint of Ye Liancheng's worry about her.
There is white water floating beside them playing with mud dolls, they are naturally close to water, and they quickly became acquainted.
Hongying glanced at Bai Shui, who had an innocent face, she knew that she couldn't get more information from this stupid girl's mouth, and it seemed that she would only know more about the coastal area until her people came to her door.
Being in the small world of red tassels, Baishui has been very happy in the past two days, and it is many times more comfortable than being locked in a water tank. After Hongying told her what happened, and she had no malicious intentions, Bai Shui did not ask the clansmen for help, after all, even if they called for help, this small world was cut off from everything.
"Sister Hongying, why is there still a familiar aura here?Are there other demon clans out there?" Bai Shui's delicate face like a porcelain doll looked at Hongying suspiciously.
The familiar breath is because of the bloodline of the demon clan in Ye Liancheng's body, and it is precisely because of this that the small world that is integrated with Ye Liancheng's heart can collect the white water that is also a demon clan.
Hongying didn't tell Bai Shui about these things, not for anything else, she didn't bother to speak, since Bai Shui asked now, she could only say vaguely: "The person who saved you has a part of the demon clan blood in his body." ”
I see, Bai Shui's eyes flashed with little stars, she had not seen Ye Liancheng since she stayed here, and through the subjective description of Hongying, she knew that Ye Liancheng should be a handsome boy in white clothes, which made her look forward to it more and more.
Looking at Bai Shui, who looked like a nymphomaniac, Hongying was puzzled, Shen Yumu just forget it, could it be that this mermaid stupid girl would still compete with her for a man?
No, no, Hongying shook her head, she must find an opportunity to blow the wind in Ye Liancheng's ears and talk about how stupid this girl is Bai Shui.
Although the two women stood side by side, they each had their own thoughts.
Ye Liancheng, who was walking, didn't receive a reply from Hongying, and one of Hongying went to chat with Bai Shui, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and of course he didn't know anything about what was happening in his mind.
There is still a period of time before the sun goes down, and at this time, maybe the people from the government have already gone to the slums, Ye Liancheng's expression was slightly soothed, and he was still relieved of Qi Ji's work efficiency.
Now that the pain has befallen those innocent children and is irreparable, all Ye Liancheng can do is to stop the loss and make his heart slightly reassured.
I heard Xiaoshi also tell me about watermelons this morning, Ye Liancheng didn't care where the old fairy ended up, he just wanted to know what happened to the melon seller?
Not far outside the city is a melon field, where a large green field of watermelon is sweet, and the vendor wipes the sweat from his forehead and finally returns to his home.
An impermeable straw hut next to the watermelon field was the hawker's house, and before he entered the door, the vendor heard a coughing sound, as if the person from the source of the sound was going to be unable to breathe in the next second.
There was a trace of disgust on the peddler's face, this dead woman coughed every day, why didn't she cough to death, and she didn't have to listen to the noise every day.
Rao was so, and the vendor with the bean in his chest pushed open the door of the broken straw house.
When she saw the vendor, the woman stopped coughing and said hoarsely, "Da Lang, you are back..."
The woman with a happy look between her eyebrows and the disgusted hawker formed a stark contrast, obviously they were husband and wife, and what they thought in their hearts was indeed very different.
When the woman saw that the vendor was still like this, and knew that she was too sick to be rejected by her own man, she withdrew her gaze and showed a lonely look on her face.
In the past few years, the house has been poor and can't solve the pot, but fortunately, the vendor is a watermelon seller and can barely make ends meet, and this time of year is when the hawker makes a lot of money.
It stands to reason that the income brought by watermelons that go against the season can only be described as windfall profits, and the thatched hut should not be like this, but this watermelon vendor is a good gambler, and every time he makes money, he goes to the gambling house in the city.
Ten gambles and nine losses, just every time the money drawn from the bank, ten times can make a capital deficit, not to mention that those gambling banks are not all changing ways to cheat people's money.
Every year, the money earned will be squandered by the peddler, but the peddler has not repented, and has been gambling with the money, and when there is no money, he will become an object in the sale, so in the end it becomes the appearance of this broken thatched house.
The melon field at home is the property of the woman's mother's family, and she also grows watermelons, and it is all the woman's hard work to grow watermelons that are out of season.
Every day a woman spends so much energy on farm work that she eventually falls ill, and her husband, the peddler, instead of taking care of the woman, continues to gamble with the money she uses to heal the sick.
The peddler returned home at this time because the woman did not expect it, she thought that he would go to the city gambling house to squander it after selling watermelons and making money, but now that he has returned home, is it possible that he has really repented?
"Da Lang, it's almost autumn, the weather is cold, I boiled ginger soup for you. The woman spoke with difficulty.
"I know, you tuberculosis, you don't lie in bed every day, what are you doing here. The peddler got up from the bench scolding, not paying the slightest attention to the woman with moist eyes.
Ginger soup can go to the wind and cold, and it stands to reason that it should be drunk by women with lung disease...
The hawker fled from Chaofeng City to his house in a hurry, and the wind was indeed hanging on the road, and his body was too cold to stand it, so the hawker went to the stove and put the ginger soup in the pot in a bowl.
After a sip of it, the peddler's body was warm, and he had forgotten the woman who was lying on the bed and suffering from the wind and cold.
