The courtyard is at the end of Qingshui Lane, and unlike the brick houses you saw along the way, this one is a small courtyard with a single family.

The small courtyard is simple, the white paint on the outer wall is peeling off, revealing the red bricks inside, and the black wooden gate is also faded.

A small wooden plaque is nailed to the pillar next to the gate, and the yellow wooden plaque has a letter written in black pen and ink.

In these years, there is no house number, it is really useless to write, and most ordinary people are illiterate.

Most of the small courtyards in this neighborhood are in the same style, and the wooden sign at the door should be convenient for the owner's relatives and friends to move around.

Ye Feng stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon an old woman in a plain dress opened the door and looked at the two people outside the door with some confusion.

"Is this Xu Shusheng's house," Ye Feng said softly

Ye Feng was tall, standing at the door like a wall, and the old woman nodded with some fear.

"This is the Xu family, the little brother doesn't know who to look for"

"Grandmother, grandmother"

Behind Ye Feng, there was a sudden immature voice

Hearing the voice, the old woman was stunned for a moment, and then stepped out of the threshold and saw the little Lori held by Ye Cheng.

"Old man, Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu is back," she shouted at once towards the door

Seeing the figure of the old woman, the little Lori also struggled, and Ye Cheng walked forward with the little Lori in her arms

The old woman caught Lori

"Thank you, thank you, little brother"

She looked at the little girl in her arms with some pity, "Xiuxiu is not afraid, grandmother is here."

After a while, the old woman seemed to react, looked behind the two, and looked around, but except for Ye Cheng and the others, there was no other figure.

The old woman's face changed, and she grabbed Ye Cheng's arm, "What about Sheng'er, where is Sheng'er, didn't he come back with you?"

Ye Feng Ye Cheng was just silent.

And when the little Lori heard the old woman's words, she cried out loud.

At night, the cold wind whined again, through the robe, through the body, through the heart, and behind him was the white street, and there was no returnee or visitor.

Soon, an old man with gray hair walked out.

The old man's robe was plain, his face was serious, and he could see that he should usually be unsmiling and rigorous

The gray robe was white, but the old man's body was extremely neat, and his gray hair was neatly combed and raised with wooden hairpins.

He looked at the three people at the door, and then at the empty street behind the three of them, and he didn't know what he thought, and his dry palm under his robe trembled slightly.

"This is a letter left by Xu Shusheng"

Ye Feng took out a yellow envelope from his arms, and then took out a jade pendant with a red auspicious knot tied at the end, he gently pressed the jade pendant on the envelope, handed it to the gray-robed old man, and then remained silent.

Behind her, little Lori cried even harder

The yellow envelope is excellently preserved, without a trace of wrinkles, and the cover has small letters written in a red frame.

"My father is enlightened, and my son is not filial"

The old man took the envelope, his body shook violently, and after a long time, he finally calmed down and faced Ye Cheng and the others

"Two distinguished guests, please"

"Old woman, prepare tea, and, bring Xiuxiu back" His voice trembled slightly.

There was a fire in the hall, the doors and windows were tightly closed, and the air was not moving

Ye Feng and the others sat at the square table, with warm tea in front of them, but neither of them moved.

On the side of the table, the old man opened the envelope with trembling hands and took out the white stationery, and the old woman stood aside with the little Lori in her arms, her face pale.

Soon the old woman began to weep

"Sheng'er, my Sheng'er"

The old man sat on the chair in a daze, holding the letter paper in his hand, his knuckles were already white, but his dry fingers were still pinching the letter, and his eyes that had been clear finally became cloudy.

Little Lori, who had already stopped, heard the woman's cry and began to cry again

After a long time, the old man finally came back to his senses, he folded the letter carefully, he folded it very carefully, carefully aligned it before and after, left and right, and put it back in the envelope little by little

He got up and bowed deeply to Ye Feng and the others

"Thank you to the two righteous men for sending Xiuxiu back to the Xu family, the kindness of the two Xu family is unforgettable"

Ye Feng Ye Cheng hurriedly got up and stepped aside

Ye Feng said softly, "Xu Shusheng is kind to me, I am just entrusted by others, loyal to people."

"Wife, go to the room and fetch the money."

Ye Cheng looked at the old man holding the corner of the table on the side, his lips moved, and he wanted to say something, but when he saw Ye Feng with an expressionless face, he finally didn't speak.

This is Ye Feng and the Xu family's business after all, he is only joining halfway, no matter what he thinks, he is not qualified to ask for anything.

The old woman wiped her tears, walked to the back room with little Lori in her arms, and quickly took out a small white cloth bag.

"The two righteous men have a great kindness to my Xu family, please accept this meager entanglement, please be sure to accept it"

Ye Feng took the cloth bag from the old man's hand

He poured out the silver inside, and five thumb-sized silver ingots were arranged in the palm of his hand, and five were five taels of silver.

He counted out three silver ingots, but the remaining two were placed on the table

"Xu Shusheng is kind to me, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, I can only take three taels of silver"

The old man bowed down again and said to Ye Feng

"Strong men don't have to be like this, the two of them can bring Xiuxiu back, it is a great kindness to my Xu family, and this silver must be ......"

"Needless to say, three taels of silver is Xu Shusheng's reward for me, Xu Shusheng still has some things left on the yellow horse, people and things have been brought, and I will leave first."

After Ye Feng finished speaking, he didn't wait for the old man to speak, and walked directly towards the door.

Ye Cheng didn't say a word, and walked out.

Out of Xu's house, Ye Feng casually closed the door.

Ye Cheng led the black horse, and Ye Feng was empty-handed, the yellow horse belonged to Xu Shusheng, Ye Feng didn't ask for it, although he knew that if he opened his mouth, the old man surnamed Xu would definitely give him the horse.

The two walked down the street, covered with snow and leaving a row of deep and shallow footprints on the ground behind them.

After walking for a while, Ye Feng suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the old mansion of the Xu family behind him, and said softly

"Xu Shusheng, people have brought it to you, and things have been brought to you, go with peace of mind"

After saying that, he didn't stop any longer, and strode forward.

Ye Cheng's eyes flashed, and he led the black horse to follow closely.

Turning a corner, Ye Feng stopped and laughed

"Well, it's time to divide the spoils"

He took out three ingots of silver and weighed them one by one

"This is just one or two ......" Ye Feng rubbed his chin and took another ingot of silver

"This is about a tael......

"Huh?" his eyes lit up, and his voice raised

"This is a full one, two, two dollars, earned, earned"

Ye Feng's eyes widened, staring at the small ingots in his palm.

"This ......"

Ye Cheng looked at the big man in front of him with some tears and laughter, a big man of more than one meter and eight meters, but he brought his palm to his eyes and stared at the silver ingots the size of his palm and thumb.

The big man frowned, his expression was distressed, as if he had fallen into some problem, and after a long time, he exhaled a breath, as if he had experienced a struggle, and slowly spoke out

"Look at it, don't say that your big brother Feng takes advantage of you, this is a silver of one or two dollars, take it"

As he spoke, he stuffed one of the silver into Ye Cheng's hand, but a look of extremely obvious pain flashed on his face

Ye Cheng looked at the small silver ingot in his hand, his expression was stunned, and he looked at Ye Feng with some confusion.

Ye Feng was instantly furious, and suddenly held the silver ingots in his hand

"Why, you are still too little, you must know that Lao Ye and I climbed the snowy mountains and crossed the snowfield to break into the wolves, and I was a father and a mother, and I only got this silver after nine deaths, and you kid joined halfway, and you are not satisfied with taking so much, won't your conscience hurt?"

"That's not the case, you're ...... Alas......" Ye Cheng couldn't cry or laugh, looking at the burly man who was holding the silver tightly like a hen protecting a chicken, and finally could only smile bitterly and put away the silver.

"That's right" Ye Feng breathed a long sigh of relief, and a hint of relief flashed on his face.

He took out a gray cloth bag from his bosom, and tied the front of the bag tightly with silk threads.

The bag is the size of a palm, and a circle of crooked stitches can be seen in the corners, and it is obvious that the sewing person is not very skilled.

Ye Feng untied the silk thread, looked at the bag with a smile on his face, and carefully put the two pieces of silver in.

Ye Cheng leaned over and glanced at it, the bag was full of scattered silver taels, some were broken silver cut from large ingots, some were small earrings embedded with gold, and Ye Cheng even saw two or three copper coins with square holes with round bottoms.

After putting the two ingots of silver away, Ye Feng picked up the silk thread again and tied the mouth of the bag thinly.

He threw and picked it up, checked the cloth bag in his hand, felt that the bag was a little heavier, and couldn't help laughing, his eyes flickered, and he looked at Ye Cheng with some pride.

"Is this Brother Feng's money bag?" Ye Cheng asked with a smile.

"That's, this is the savings that your eldest brother Feng has saved over the years of wandering the rivers and lakes," he threw away his money bag a little proudly.

Suddenly, his face changed slightly, and he looked around with some vigilance, and found that there was no other figure around except Ye Cheng, so he breathed a sigh of relief and put the bag into his arms.

"The pocket on your big brother's chest, that's a hidden thing, the silver in our arms, even if you steal the king's life, don't even think about taking it"

A smug look flashed in his eyes, and he slapped his chest, thumping, obviously putting a bulging money bag, but there was no sound of metal colliding.

"I did a big ticket today, your big brother Feng will take you down to the restaurant, so that you can have a good look at what is the prosperity of the big city" Ye Feng said arrogantly

With a wave of his hand, he took a step and walked directly towards the east of the city.

Ye Cheng smiled dumbly, in this Ying'an City, he was afraid that he would not be able to enter even a good restaurant for two taels of silver, he shook his head, led the horse, and followed quickly.

But this should be the prosperity of Ancheng, but it is really necessary to see it well.
