Chapter 9: The Sinister Heart

Sitting in the comfortable carriage, Xiao Jiu quickly fell asleep tired, and Xiao Liu took her in his arms so that she could sleep more comfortably.

About an hour later, the motorcade stopped, and Xiao Liu opened the curtains to look, and found that they had unconsciously arrived outside the city gate, waiting for the inspection of the soldiers guarding the city.

However, the carriage seemed to have a good history, and after the leader of the carriage negotiated a few words with the officials of the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and stuffed a purse into the other party, the other party did not do any inspection at all, and immediately let it go.

"Open the gates!"

With the shouts of the officers and soldiers defending the city, the city gate, which was three feet tall and short enough to accommodate three carriages in parallel, opened from the inside, and the carriage that Xiao Liu was sitting in also entered the city smoothly.

Xiao Liu, who entered the city for the first time, has been curiously looking at the dazzling buildings and pedestrians outside the window, and the novel world makes him can't help but throb in his heart

"This is the city. There are a lot of people, and it's a hundred times more lively than in the valley, isn't it? And the house, why is it so high? Is the red lantern hanging on it? It's so beautiful.......

The excitement in Xiao Liu's heart was not expressed through words, because he was afraid that his third brother would laugh at him.

But even so, the third brother on the side also understood the mood of this younger brother, because he used to come over like this......

The carriage convoy passed through a busy neighborhood until it came to a smaller road, and when it turned the corner, it was much quieter on both sides, and the lights were out of sight.

Soon the carriage came to a halt in front of a large large iron gate, and on either side of the gate were a pair of majestic stone lions that looked majestic even in the evening.

"We're here! Get off!"

The third brother greeted and jumped out of the carriage first, and Xiao Liu saw that Xiao Jiu on the side was still asleep, so he directly picked him up and followed him out of the carriage.

At this time, people came down from the five carriages, and then one of them went to pull the big iron door, and soon the door was opened, and a servant dressed as a family member welcomed the group inside.

Xiao Liu followed behind his third brother and looked at the group of "companions" around him, seeing that these people were dressed in various ways, and they didn't look like they were from one place, but now they all entered this door.

When Xiao Liu looked at the others, some of those people also looked at him, and showed a malicious smile after discovering his gaze.

Xiao Liu hurriedly staggered his gaze and stopped looking at him.

With apprehension, Xiao Liu followed the group to the second entrance of the compound, and the hall opposite was filled with precious wooden furniture, as well as the smell of sandalwood wafting from afar.

"Little Liu, when you enter inside, don't open your mouth, leave everything to the third brother. Don't worry, I'll find a way to keep you two staying. This is the richest Zhai family in the city, and you won't have to worry about food and clothing if you stay here!Do you understand?"

The third brother deliberately slowed down two steps while walking, and whispered in Xiao Liu's ear.

Although Xiao Liu's plans for his future are not clear, he subconsciously feels that he doesn't want to stay here, there are all strangers here, and only his third brother is the only acquaintance. If the third brother has something to do, I don't know how other people will treat him and Xiao Jiu.

However, it was precisely because of Xiao Jiu that he finally nodded and responded in a low voice

"Okay, it's all up to the third brother. โ€

Xiao Jiu is just a little girl, she needs a safe and warm environment to live, and this big mansion is obviously the best choice at the moment.

The third brother smiled slightly when he heard this, and soon the group of people rushed in and entered the lobby of the second entrance of the courtyard.

It seemed that someone in the hall had been waiting here for a long time, and a fat middle-aged man with a mustache walked up with a belly two or three times larger than the average person, and whispered to the captain of the car who took the lead.

While they were talking, Xiao Liu noticed that the captain's eyes swept in his direction a few times, intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was talking about the two of them.

At this time, the third brother took two steps forward, first made a gesture, and then stepped forward and whispered a few words to the obese middle-aged man.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes began to shine, and he glanced in the direction of Xiao Liu, and nodded at his fat head.

In the end, the captain of the team and the third brother were retreated to the side by him, and then he came to the front of Xiao Liu and Xiao Jiu with heavy steps, and began to carefully examine the two of them up and down.

"Wellโ€”โ€”, good, really good. What an unexpected delight!"

The obese middle-aged man whispered softly, and his voice like a eunuch made Xiao Liu very uncomfortable, and what made him even more uncomfortable was that the other party looked at him as if he was checking the condition of a certain product.

Xiao Jiu was still asleep, but Xiao Liu felt that the fat guy's gaze was mostly lingering on her.

After a long while, the fat middle-aged man finally withdrew his gaze, and then beckoned to the third brother, who quickly lowered his body and approached him.

I saw that after the fat middle-aged man said a few words in his ear, he left with a sway.

Once again, only the convoy was left in the room.

"Little Liu, the third brother is sorry for you!"

After the fat middle-aged man left, the third brother ignored the eyes of others, and directly bowed his head and said to Xiaoliu bitterly.

"Third brother, what's wrong with you?

Xiao Liu hugged Xiao Jiu, unable to stop the other party's behavior, so he could only dissuade him in a hurry.

"Alas, I'm ashamed to say that since your third brother and I left the village, we came to this Yulong City to make a living, and finally came to this Zhai Mansion to seek an errand to make a living. In the past few years, I have also been conscientious and have done a lot of things for the Zhai family. But after all, I'm just a subordinate! Just now I begged the second son to take you in, but he said that he didn't raise idlers at home, and was only willing to take in Xiao Jiu, saying that the little girl was delicate and cute, and that she would be a personal maid for her husband and master in the future, so she wouldn't worry about food and clothing, and maybe even marry a good woman as a daughter-in-law when she grew up. And as for you......"

Speaking of this, the third brother didn't continue as if he was a little embarrassed.

"Third brother, is it that the second son of the Zhai family thinks that my half-old child is useless and is unwilling to take me in?"

Xiao Liu observed the words and said the words for him.

"Alas, it's the third brother who is useless, the third brother is so useless! The third brother is sorry for you!"

The third brother didn't answer when he heard this, he just complained about himself.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Liu, even if he was stupid, understood that there was no place for him in this Zhai family.

However, he doesn't think it's anything about it, at least Xiao Jiu is down, and with the third brother taking care of him, he shouldn't be able to treat his favorite sister badly.

So he said with a satisfied smile on his face

"Third brother, you don't have to be like this. Xiao Jiu has landed, and I can leave with confidence. Originally, I was still embarrassed, if I said that I would leave alone, it would seem too ignorant. Well, now everything falls into place, and it's already the best result for me!"

"Brother, do you really think so? You won't blame the third brother, will you?"

Hearing this, the third brother hurriedly raised his head and asked with a sincere look.

"Of course I won't blame you, not only will I not blame you, but I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life! Although I can't stay, but Xiao Jiu can stay in such a big family thanks to you? And I will often come to visit you after I leave!"

Xiao Liu's words came from the bottom of his heart, and he was really grateful to this third brother who had not been masked for a long time.

"Don't say that, Xiao Jiu is also my sister, I should do these things!"

The two brothers came to an agreement, and understood each other's difficulties, and everyone who remained in the hall saw it.

However, from beginning to end, everyone watched coldly, watching this pair of brothers perform a good show of brotherly love without saying a word.

In the end, Xiao Liu carefully handed over the sleeping Xiao Jiu to his third brother, and finally looked at it dotingly, and then left the Zhai family with satisfaction, leaving his brother and sister.

"The world is big, there is always a place for me! I am a dignified sixth master, where can't I get mixed up?"

Xiao Liu walked out of the gate of Zhai's house, and finally glanced at it nostalgically, he was actually a little too good to let go of that cute little girl. As for where he is going, he really doesn't have any consideration for the time being.

"Idiot boy, do you think your third brother is really a good thing? Hmph! I think you're blind to believe what he says!"

Mo Wu in Xiao Liu's brain suddenly spoke, and the content of his words made Xiao Liu directly stunned on the spot.

"Fifth brother, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that my third brother is plotting against him?"

Even Xiao Liu himself felt ridiculous when he asked this, that was his third brother, his only relative in this world besides Xiao Jiu!

How could he be secretly calculating himself, and what could he have for others to calculate?

"People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, how long have you not seen that third brother? The outside world is full of deceit, a guy like you who will easily trust others, and you are still helping others count the money when you are sold! If you don't believe my words, then we can wait and see, you find a place to stay for a while now, and when the time is late at night, we will sneak into Zhai Mansion to find out!"

Mo Wu's words were conclusive, so that Xiao Liu had to start doubting the authenticity of this matter.

After all, since he became one with Mo Wushen's soul, he had never deceived himself, and he had no reason to deceive himself.

Because, now the two of them are a community with a shared future!

With a conflicted mood, Xiao Liu wandered around alone, and he no longer had the heart to appreciate the lively scene in the city.

Soon it was late at night, and the milky white moon with only a crescent moon in the sky emitted a soft and faint light, and Xiao Liu came around and came to the high wall on the east side of Zhai Mansion, ready to act......
