was dragged into the courtyard by the drunkard, Ren Tianxiang was not reluctant at all, after all, he could only find out what role the evil soul played in this after asking the drunkard well.

And Xuanyuan Liuli and Xinglingluo were also invited by drunkards to his home because they followed Ren Tianxiang. Because Ren Tianxiang didn't explain the details at that time, they still don't know why this drunkard is so enthusiastic about Ren Tianxiang.

And in the eyes of Xing Lingluo and Xuanyuan Liuli, the drunkard is not like treating his friends, and he is a little too enthusiastic now.

Ren Tianxiang's guess now is that it is very likely that the Evil Soul Breaker used some kind of illusion on all of them, not only blinding him and Zhong Suo, but also modifying the drunkard's memory, making the drunkard think that he and Ren Tianxiang encountered those things in the restaurant that day. This is the most reliable speculation at present, and it is also the closest to the truth - if this is really the case, I am afraid that Ren Tianxiang will not be able to get any news from the drunkard at all.

After entering the house, Ren Tianxiang and the others could probably see how embarrassing the drunkard's life was before. Inside, the living room consisted only of a tattered wooden table and patched cushions. Ren Tianxiang looked at the table, and estimated that he was afraid that even if he put something on it, he would be able to crush the table.

In addition to this, there are all kinds of farming tools stacked in the corner of the living room, which look to have been used a lot, and some of the dirt that has dried up. Seeing this, Ren Tianxiang could probably guess what the drunkard relied on to make a living.

Because the climate in the north is cold, it is suitable for the growth of some precious herbs, so between Hongyi City and Yumen Pass, there will be some people who will fund the development of some abandoned land to grow herbs. However, because the fields are usually large and the workload is also large, these people will hire some people to help take care of the herb fields.

Looking at it like this, I'm afraid that the drunkard used to support himself and his sister by helping to take care of the herb fields. It is also true that this kind of work does not require much effort, and it is suitable for people like drunkards who have been injured and have not been healed, and these farm jobs are generally short-term labor, and the possibility of drunkards dying on the job is much smaller, so there will be people who will hire alcoholics. For the drunkard, this job is not only less than the salary, but everything else is fine, and it is barely enough for the two brothers and sisters to live.

Invited by the drunkard to sit on the cushion, Ren Tianxiang found a very embarrassing thing to solve urgently - the last time he met with the evil soul in the restaurant, the evil soul was told his own name, and now the drunkard's name is obviously not "evil soul", but Ren Tianxiang doesn't know what the drunkard is called at all.

Can you really call him a drunkard like Zhong Suo? This is obviously not possible!

The drunkard asked Ren Tianxiang, Xing Lingluo and Xuanyuan Liuli to sit down in turn, and then washed the fruit in the bag with the water in the basin next to the living room, and then sat opposite Ren Tianxiang, and warmly invited Ren Tianxiang to taste them.

According to the drunkard, it is the time of summer and autumn, and the daylight hours of the day are gradually decreasing, and the sunlight that these fruits can get less and less in a day. This batch of fruits is basically the last batch of fruits with a relatively high sugar content this year. Of course, it is precisely because of this that the drunkard dares to take out these fruits to entertain guests.

At this time, Kong Linglan hadn't brought the wine over, and the drunkard didn't know what else to give Ren Tianxiang and them to eat besides fruit, so he could only scratch his head and said a little apologetically: "Benefactor, I didn't expect you to come over this time, and I didn't have anything at home." Please wait a minute, my sister is picking up our home-brewed wine, and she will be here soon. ”

"It's okay, I came to visit suddenly today, and I was very disturbed. Ren Tianxiang smiled, then changed the topic and asked, "Do you still brew wine at home?" Since you have wine at home, why do you often go out to buy wine to drink?"

When Ren Tianxiang asked this, the drunkard replied curtly: "Isn't this the last time you borrowed me twenty gold coins from your benefactor?" After paying Lan Lan three gold coins for tuition, I used five more silver coins to buy the materials for brewing wine, and began to make my own wine. The brewed wine is sold to the people in Xicheng District, although the price is cheap, but the taste is good, there are quite a lot of people who buy it, and we make more money than before.

Originally, I also had this craft at home, but because of lack of money, I couldn't even afford to buy the materials for brewing, so I didn't start this business.

Ah, look at my memory, benefactor, wait, I'll go and get the rest of the money. ”

The drunkard slapped his head, said to Ren Tianxiang, stood up, and trotted towards the bedroom without waiting for Ren Tianxiang to react. Soon, there was the sound of rummaging through the cabinets in the bedroom.

At this time, Kong Linglan also came to the living room with a wine jug and a wine bowl. She placed the bowl on the table, filled it for all three, and sat down at the table herself. However, although she didn't speak, she kept staring at Ren Tianxiang. I don't know what I'm looking at.

Being looked at by Kong Linglan like this, Ren Tianxiang was uncomfortable - mainly Xing Lingluo was sitting next to him - he touched his face and asked out loud: "That...... Miss Linglan, do I have anything dirty on my face?"

Hearing Ren Tianxiang's question, Kong Linglan woke up like a dream, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Ah! No, no, it's just ...... I didn't expect the benefactor that my brother said before...... It's you. So, you lied to me when you said you were my brother's old friend?"

Kong Linglan is not clumsy, Ren Tianxiang's true identity can be easily deduced after the drunkard is broken. She had also heard from her brother that the person she had met in the restaurant had never met, but who had helped them immensely after hearing what had happened to them.

So if Ren Tianxiang is the person his brother met in the restaurant, then he can't be his brother's old friend in Changheguan. The connection is actually very easy to figure out.

"Wasn't you afraid that you wouldn't believe me at that time?" Ren Tianxiang smiled embarrassedly, "What I told you was indeed what I heard from Brother Confucius." I'm so sorry I just lied to you. ”

"Huh, it's okay...... If it weren't for the money you borrowed from my brother, we don't know how long it would have taken for our lives to become like this. As she spoke, Kong Linglan looked at the bedroom, and then said, "Brother, he went to the bedroom to get the money, right? You borrowed twenty gold coins from your brother before, and my brother used four of them, and the rest of the money was well hidden under the bed."

These days, we also made some money, not much, and in addition to the daily expenses and the cost of brewing, my brother probably saved two or three silver coins. The elder brother also said that the money must be hidden well, and the deeper the hidden, the better, otherwise such a large sum of money is really a great temptation, and if someone steals it, it will be over. That's why my brother has been rummaging in the bedroom for so long—he's afraid he's forgotten where he's hiding. ”

As he spoke, the drunkard also walked out of the house, still holding the money bag that Ren Tianxiang gave him before.

The drunkard sat down beside Kong Linglan, then put the money bag in front of Ren Tianxiang and said, "Benefactor, there are sixteen gold coins and five silver coins in this money bag. Sixteen gold coins are the remaining money, and these five silver coins are to repay the loan you have repaid for me. Now I owe you four gold coins and five silver coins, please give me some time, and I will be able to pay it back. ”

Ren Tianxiang had a smile on his face, looking at the sincerity on the drunkard's face, according to the plan he had planned a long time ago, he pushed the money bag back in front of the drunkard: "Take this money, your family is still in great difficulty, I believe this money must be in need." You are in the early stage of your business, you can't do it without money, the girl from Lily of the Valley is about to enter school, and the tuition and miscellaneous fees are also a lot of expenses. Originally, I wasn't ready to take back this money, and I said that I wanted you to do it casually, because I was afraid that you would not accept it. ”

When Ren Tianxiang said this, the drunkard was stunned, looking at the money bag, and didn't know what to say for a while.

It took a long time for him to spit out a few words from his mouth: "For...... Why? Where is this ...... given for nothing?"

"Okay, don't shirk it, I said that the money was going to be given to you, so it must be given to you. Don't ask why, didn't I say it last time? You and I are destined, and that's enough. ”
