Approaching the end of the year, every household is in full swing to prepare for the New Year, Shen Tingxu walked alone on the street, and suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his heart, the huge world was so lonely, which made him sigh faintly.

In the past, I was with my sister in this matter, but now I don't have a chance.

"Brother Gongsun is going to have a decisive battle with King Bo soon, so it's better for me not to disturb him at this time, so where should I go now?"

After pondering for a moment, a trace of warmth suddenly flashed on Shen Tingxu's face: "I haven't been to see them for a long time, and I just have time today." ”

He walked into a shop, bought some sweets, then some food, and headed north of the city.

In the distance, Lu Youlong's eyes lit up and shouted: "After following him for so many days, he is finally going to show his flaws, hurry up!"

Shen Tingxu's pace was steady, and he walked for half an hour, and finally came to a dilapidated courtyard.

When he saw the courtyard from afar, his face was full of smiles.

The area of this courtyard is still very large, but the houses are very old, obviously in disrepair.

A group of ragged children, the eldest of whom was eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest of whom was five or six years old, shouted happily when they saw the figure of the person coming outside.

"Brother Shen, you finally came to see us, we miss you so much!"

They gathered around, raised their heads, and looked at Shen Tingxu with a pair of bright big eyes.

"Rong'er, Xiaorui, Tongtong......" Shen Tingxu handed over their names one by one, and then took out a large handful of candy and distributed it to them separately.

This scene fell in the eyes of Lu Youlong and the others, they were very stunned, they thought that Shen Tingxu was going to their secret stronghold, but they didn't want to come to see a group of children.

"Brother Shen has had some things recently, so I haven't come to see you for so long," looking at a group of children, Shen Tingxu explained, remembering, "Didn't Yujing Mansion say that it would repair here last time, why is it still like this for so long?"

He pointed to the dilapidated houses here suspiciously, this is a place to adopt orphans under the jurisdiction of Yujing Mansion, the houses are all built a hundred years ago, they have long been aging, and there have even collapsed during the period, although they have been repaired several times, but they have always been high-risk buildings.

The eldest among the children, a twelve-year-old boy named "Rong'er", replied: "Brother Shen, last time Yujing Mansion said that it was going to be repaired, but no one came over all this time, Aunt Zhang has been looking for them several times, but there is no result, just that people will come soon." ”

Looking at his slightly childish face, Shen Tingxu couldn't help but think of himself at the beginning, he was also wandering alone when he was so old in the past, if he hadn't met his sister, I am afraid that he would have been dead for a long time.

"Xiao Shen, are you coming to see the children again?" A woman in her forties and fifties walked out, wearing a shabby cloth skirt full of patches and a faded color, which had been worn for at least twenty years.

"Aunt Zhang. Shen Ting looked at it in vain, only to feel that her waist was more rickety than the last time she saw her, the wrinkles on her face became more and more, and her gray temples looked like an old man in her sixties and seventies, and she couldn't help but choke a little.

Five years ago, when I first met her, she was a very young and beautiful woman, and it was her husband who kept her here.

For many years, no one cared about this place, and the officials of Yujing Mansion regarded it as non-existent, and five years ago, the managers set up here have all left one after another, leaving only the husband and wife.

Two people with a group of children, without any assistance, the hardships can be imagined, and it was not long before her husband died suddenly in one night due to overwork.

At that time, she was persuaded to leave here and marry someone else.

But these children are not at ease even if their deceased husband dies, so how can he leave alone and abandon them? Let the deceased husband not be blind under the Nine Springs?

After persisting like this for several years, she is no longer young and her appearance is gone, but in Shen Tingxu's eyes, her beauty has surpassed that of the past thousands of times.

The beauty of the skin is fleeting, but her beauty will last forever even if it is timed.

The thought in her heart turned, and Shen Tingxu walked to her side with a smile: "Aunt Zhang, the children are not naughty, don't listen to your obedience, right?"

"Brother Shen, we are all obedient. The children shouted.

Aunt Zhang looked at them and said with a kind smile: "They are all very sensible, especially Rong'er and the others, they are all helping me share things, as long as it is a few years, I really don't have to worry about it anymore." ”

"Well, you have to take care of yourself, too. Shen Tingxu leaned over and secretly gave her a True Yuan, he would do this every time he came here in the past few years, otherwise she might not be able to support it until now.

Aunt Zhang smiled: "Every time you come to see me, I feel comfortable, it seems that you are really my lucky star." ”

Shen Tingxu chuckled: "Where, this is a good person with good rewards." So saying, he took out a minot, and handed it to her.

"Xiao Shen, I can't ask for this. Aunt Zhang hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I know your situation, you are still studying too much, how can you have any money to spare, this must be your frugality, take it back and buy some books to read, and take a good reputation." ”

"This money belongs to a friend of mine, who heard about your situation and asked me to give it to you. Shen Tingxu grabbed her hand and put the silver on it.

Aunt Zhang asked suspiciously, "Your friend, who is he?"

Shen Tingxu said: "His name is Gongsun Xu, I will wait for him to come and see you when I have time." ”

"In that case, then I will accept the money, and I hope you will thank him on my behalf, he is really a good man. Aunt Zhang was grateful.

Shen Tingxu couldn't help but smile, he also felt that Gongsun Xu was a good person, and he was also a good friend and brother!

......

In the deepest part of the old snow mountain, a middle-aged man wearing a high crown was busy, and suddenly he saw a piece of paper that had just been delivered, and his eyes moved.

"The silver-level killer Guiyi failed in his mission, and after the news of his death was reported, he suddenly came back alive today, which is very suspicious. After reading the content, he couldn't help but ponder.

For suspicious people, he has always been the principle of "rather kill mistakes than let them go", but although the killers in Lao Xueshan are nominally his subordinates, in fact, he is just a trading platform for customers and killers, and many killers are only cooperative relations with him, not superiors and subordinates.

If you rashly execute a silver-level killer, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among others, and this matter has to be cautious.

Just as he was thinking, a figure shrouded in darkness suddenly appeared.

"Lord!" he looked up at the figure, and couldn't help but salute.

Lord Wending looked down at him and said indifferently: "Di Mian, the deity knows that you are having a headache about the resurrection of Gui Yi from the dead. ”

The lord of the old snow mountain, Di Mian, couldn't help but be surprised, he had only just learned about this matter, how did this old fox know, could it be that he had a shadow in my old snow mountain?

Thinking like this in his heart, he hurriedly said, "Everything is at the command of the lord. ”

"Good!"
