Jiang Guo's men's twenty and crowned are three years behind Li Mengzhou's age.

Practitioners differ from people in the secular world in the stages of adolescence and adolescence in that the former is more prolonged than the latter.

Although it is twenty and crowned, in fact, Li Mengzhou can already become a biological child at this age, and in the world, marriage has long been an unwritten inertial rule.

Days of heavy rain have stopped.

The town of Shuning has also returned to its lively scene.

Although it is only about 100 people, the area of Shuning Town is not large, and the pedestrians on the street are becoming more and more crowded.

In the small courtyard of Chaosi Lane, an old man who looked to have passed the age of his sixtieth birthday was sitting on a rattan chair with his eyes closed, and a pot of wine was placed on the stone table next to his left hand, but he did not take a sip.

The midday sun is a little blazing, and the autumn is not long, but at this time, you can still feel the hot summer atmosphere.

There was a sound of footsteps, but the old man did not open his eyes, but just picked up the wine jug and handed it out.

Li Mengzhou paused, took it silently, and raised his head to take a sip.

Drinking was a habit, he almost forgot how he learned to drink, and gradually he fell in love with it.

The old man patted his stomach lightly and muttered indistinctly, "You went out last night?"

Li Mengzhou was stunned for a moment and said, "Aunt Wang of Nanjie bought some goods, and she couldn't find anyone to help at night." ”

The old man opened one eye and glanced at Li Mengzhou, of course he knew that this was a lie, but he didn't expose it, and said to himself: "Doesn't the Wang Da beauty who sells tofu flowers have a girl who is like a flower and jade, I'm afraid you have an intention if you are so diligent." ”

Li Mengzhou put down the wine jug and said, "I'm not interested in that kind of girl who hasn't grown. ”

The old man laughed and stopped talking.

Li Mengzhou didn't pay attention to him and walked straight out of the courtyard.

The old man is not Li Mengzhou's family, but he has taken some care of him in the past three years, since Li Mengzhou came to Shuning Town three years ago, he has met and lived with this old man.

He didn't know the old man's name from beginning to end, but out of gratitude, the two sides took care of each other.

The old man has nothing but this small courtyard, so he can only do things to make money by Li Mengzhou, which is nothing more than a handyman to help his neighbors earn some extra money.

Li Mengzhou and the old man are the poorest people in Shuning Town, but fortunately, the people of Shuning Town are simple, and the neighbors will help them at the right time.

But no one knows that Li Mengzhou is actually not a poor person, because he made a lot of money as a killer, but this money has never been taken out by him, and even the old man does not know the existence of this money.

West Street is the most lively place in Shuning Town, and it is also the place where the market is located, but this is not the place where Li Mengzhou often comes, but the place where he passes by the most.

Crossing West Street to South Street, Li Mengzhou stood in front of Aunt Wang's tofu flower shop.

Aunt Wang is a beautiful woman with charm, in Shuning Town has the honor of town flowers, bachelors often find various reasons to buy a bowl of tofu flowers here, and then try to delay time, a bowl of tofu flowers can be eaten for a long time, just to see Wang Auntie more, and say a word to her.

Aunt Wang's husband died in an accident in his early years, so Aunt Wang was alone with her daughter who had just been weaned, and now the little girl has grown into a girl in the flower season, and the business of the tofu flower shop is also reliable, mostly because of the consumption of those bachelors, who have not pulled Aunt Wang's little hand, but inadvertently pulled up the business of the tofu flower shop, and also made the little girl a little rich woman in Shuning Town.

Maybe this is also the reason why Li Mengzhou likes to come here, one is the richest and the other is the poorest, he can eat tofu for free, and he is full.

Today, as in the past, the tofu flower shop is full of bachelors, widows and divorcees, and in short, whatever the reason, the customers here are single.

Aunt Wang was busy working inside, these bachelors were struggling to find a target, and when they saw Li Mengzhou walking in, someone immediately laughed and said, "Black boy, come to eat tofu flowers again." ”

Their purpose is Aunt Wang, and Li Mengzhou's purpose is Aunt Wang's queen Pan'er, this is just their own opinion.

Li Mengzhou didn't explain or take a stubble, and these bachelors didn't care, because they all knew that this black boy didn't like to talk.

Maybe it's just because Li Mengzhou doesn't want to talk to them.

Wang Paner is also helping in the store at the moment, there is no school in Shuning Town, although Jiang Guo does not have the rule that a girl's family cannot go to school, but it is undoubtedly a very luxurious thing to want to study in this northwest side, and the man still has no way, let alone a girl.

Therefore, most of the people in Shuning Town are illiterate, and those who are literate are all outsiders, and they are not too educated, even if they want to open a school, they don't have that ability.

"Brother Mengzhou. ”

Wang Paner stood in front of Li Mengzhou with a bowl of tofu.

A middle-aged man sitting at the next table saw this scene and said with a smile: "Xiao Pan'er, you are too partial, we have been here for a long time, why did this black boy eat tofu before us?"

Wang Paner's pretty face suddenly turned red like a ripe apple, and she hurriedly put the tofu flower on the table in front of Li Mengzhou, glared at the middle-aged man and said, "The next bowl is yours." ”

The shop was full of laughter.

Wang Pan'er shyly glanced at Li Mengzhou, and hurriedly turned around and ran to the kitchen.

Li Mengzhou shook his head slightly, eating tofu flowers while looking at the pedestrians on the street.

At this moment, a man of about thirty years old walked into the store, his face tired, his hair was messy, but there was still a faint hint of joy in his eyes.

When the other party saw Li Mengzhou, he stepped forward and slapped him on the shoulder, almost not letting Li Mengzhou squirt out the tofu flower in his mouth.

He wiped his mouth angrily, looked at the man in front of him, and said, "Brother Cui, you seem to be in a good mood today?"

Cui Debt sighed lightly, sat opposite Li Mengzhou, and said: "Life always has to go on, now I am alone, and the whole family is not hungry when I am fed alone, not to mention how easy it is." ”

Having said that, Li Mengzhou can understand Cui Debt's sadness, and he is just using this method to hide the uneasiness and pain in his heart.

Seeing that Li Mengzhou didn't speak, Cui Debt couldn't help but say: "Boy, do you remember the killer I told you about before called 'Fusheng'? I asked him to kill someone, I thought it was impossible to succeed, but I didn't expect that cultivator to really die. ”

He spoke in a low voice, lest he be heard.

After all, hiring a murderer is not a glorious thing, although it is a very common thing in this radius of a hundred miles, but it does not include the current Shuning Town.

Cui Debt said with some emotion: "I don't know who that floating life is, he didn't charge any fees for such a dangerous thing, he is my great benefactor of Cui Debt." If I can see him again, I must thank him, even if it is a cow and a horse for him, after all, that's all I can do. ”

Li Mengzhou glanced at Cui Debt, silently drank a bowl of tofu flowers, wiped his mouth and said: "Saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, you don't have to care too much, maybe he doesn't need your thanks." ”

Cui Debt looked entangled.

Li Mengzhou said: "He's just a killer, although the killer is wealthy, but sometimes he will do some good deeds, after all, killing people is always a bad thing, and he needs to atone for his crimes."

Although he is helping you, he is actually helping himself, you have your own life, he also has his own things to do, and it is not good to be involved too much with a killer. ”

Cui Debt naturally understands this truth, but he feels that this killer called 'Fusheng' is still quite different, a benefactor is a benefactor, and this cannot be changed.

"You're not very old, but you're pretty good at telling big things. ”

Li Mengzhou didn't say anything more, his eyes suddenly lit up as he stared at the street.

There are a few beggars sitting opposite the tofu flower shop, which is a common thing in the northwest side, although wars are not common, but small frictions are also constant, and the people who live here, food and clothing are the biggest problem.

The town of Shuning is still on the outskirts of the northwest and is rarely affected by the war, so some beggars will gather in the town of Shuning, which is better than elsewhere.

But there are too many poor families in Shuning Town, even if it is Wang Paner's little rich woman's family, in fact, they are not really rich, they are just barely able to eat and wear, not to go hungry, and even to save some silver.

Of course, those who can save money are rich people in Shuning Town, most of them are barely able to eat and wear, and they are rarely able to save anything, and more of them have a meal but not a meal, such as people like Li Mengzhou and the old man.

Because Li Mengzhou needs money, he can't spend the money he earns by killing people, and it is useful to save this money.

Outsiders don't know this, in fact, Li Mengzhou can be regarded as a hidden little rich man in Shuning Town.

At this moment, of course, his attention was not on the beggars, but on a strange girl who appeared on South Street.

It's because she is dressed differently, at least not the same as the people in Shuning Town.

Most of the people in Shuning Town are coarse linen clothes, and even many young adults are shirtless, stepping on straw sandals, and their clothes and pants are wide.

Li Mengzhou was able to wear boots, also thanks to Wang Paner, because she made them herself, and the material was not of the highest quality, but on the surface it looked more grade than straw sandals.

And the girl who appeared on the street was obviously dressed in the color of the goods, Li Mengzhou didn't understand this, he only felt that the colors were bright, and he knew that it was very expensive at a glance.

The delicate long black hair, simply tied at the back of the head, without too many ornaments, is slightly feminine, showing a different style. The white skin is like a freshly peeled egg, the big eyes flash as if they can speak, and the small red lips and the white of the skin are even more distinct.

A pair of small dimples are evenly distributed on both sides of the cheeks, and with a shallow smile, the dimples loom on the cheeks, as cute as a fairy.

Li Mengzhou has never seen such a good-looking girl, even better than Wang Paner, the best-looking Wang Paner in Shuning Town, the temperament of the two is obviously different, one is a daughter, and the other is just a rural village girl.

Although Wang Paner is already very good-looking, the obvious difference in temperament makes Li Mengzhou feel bright, and he is involuntarily attracted to his attention.
