Chapter 9 Living on the Streets
Zhang Xiaoxie walked down the street in despair, out of place with the noisy crowd. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Is there some unknown ugliness behind every seemingly ordinary person?
Qingxue floated quietly beside her, not knowing how to open her mouth to comfort this world that had just come into contact with the ugliness of people's hearts.
This time, he thought that he could solve the problem by spending money, but he didn't expect to make such a big loss-making transaction.
Four thousand round stars, that's 400,000 round crystals!
That's pretty much all the money he's made in the past month!
"It seems that having money in this world is nothing, and in front of the wheel master, it is nothing......"
Zhang Xiaoxie smiled self-deprecatingly, his clenched fists slightly white.
"Alas....so I told you before, when you become a powerful wheel master, if you want to make money, it's very simple!" Qingxue said beside her.
"Now I know, but it's too late, seven days, no matter how much cultivation I have, how much strength can I improve..."
Zhang Xiaoxie shook his head bitterly: "I really don't know how to go back and face my father......."
"At least you're still alive..... unlike me, I can't even help you build ..... ......" Qingxue sighed and said that in the end, it was a little unnatural.
"Alas......"
Zhang Xiaoxie sighed, didn't hear the strangeness in Qingxue's words, and walked towards home in a trance.
......
In the shop of Zhang's laundry, Zhang Lansheng and Mu Zi frowned.
"Lan Sheng, Xiao Xie will be fine, right?" Mu Zi said worriedly.
"It's just going to the City Lord's Mansion, it's going to be fine. ”
Zhang Lansheng was relieved, sighed again, and said, "This kid has the same temper as when I was young. ”
"Dad, mother......"
Zhang Xiaoxie walked into the backyard, feeling sluggish and his eyes were a little hollow.
Zhang Lansheng looked at Zhang Xiaoxie's empty hands, hesitated for a moment, patted Zhang Xiaoxie's shoulder, and said: "Son, I guessed what you were going to do when you came back to get the money, it doesn't matter, this time I should buy a lesson, the laundry shop is gone, it's good for our family of three to be together, when I opened this laundry shop, it only took dozens of wheel crystals, I believe in you, you can still get up!"
"Dad, mother, I'm sorry....."
The strength of Zhang Xiaoxie's heart completely collapsed at this moment, the tip of his nose was sore, and his eyes were red.
When it is difficult and desperate, a word of concern from the family is enough to warm everything.
"Silly boy, what do you say I'm sorry, you've worked hard this month......."
Mu Zi patted Zhang Xiaoxie's head lovingly, and said, "Don't think about it, your father is right, it's good for our family to be together..... you're tired for a day, go and have a good rest.. ...”
"Well, that's ......"
Zhang Xiaoxie held back the tears that wanted to fall out and walked towards the room.
......
In the room, Zhang Xiaoxie tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
"Little evil brother, uncle and aunt are right, you will definitely be able to get up again, your pure water has mutated, and you also have the thunder fire attribute, one day you will become stronger, don't think about it. ”
Qingxue said with relief beside her.
"I know, and I'm not decadent ...... either"
Zhang Xiaoxie nodded, his eyes became cold, and said, "I'm just unwilling, a hunting group, without much action, can make me helpless." ”
"When you get stronger in the future, these things will naturally come back. ”
Qingxue wanted to pat Zhang Xiaoxie's head, but found that her hand passed through Zhang Xiaoxie again, and she became a little sad.
"Yes! Father is right, the laundry shop is gone! I'll take it back sooner or later!"
Zhang Xiaoxie lay down suddenly, covering his head with the quilt, and a long-suppressed anger came out of the quilt.
"Tiemu, Zhang Qiming, I will definitely take revenge for this!"
......
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and before I knew it, it was the seventh day.
Today is the day when the Iron Bull Hunting Group comes to collect the laundry.
In the past seven days, Zhang's laundry has been open as usual.
The money he earned before was basically given to the City Lord's Mansion, and Zhang Xiaoxiao wanted to take advantage of these seven days to earn the last money.
But it backfired, it seemed that because the Iron Bull Hunting Group was too famous in Qingcheng, in the past seven days, no one dared to come to their house to wash their clothes.
The business is unusually bleak, and in seven days, the income is only more than 200 round crystals.
The laundry shop has been cleaned up, and there are several packages stacked next to it, which are some of the household items that Zhang Lansheng and Mu Zi have cleaned up in the past few days.
"Alas...... Is it really the last day? ”
Zhang Xiaoxie sat behind the counter, looking at the laundry shop that had been with him for more than ten years.
He cried and laughed here, and it was full of memories of his childhood.
However, after today, this place will no longer belong to him.
"Little devil, it's okay, you're still young, you'll be fine in the future!"
Zhang Lansheng walked out, although he was a little haggard, but he still cheered up and said with some relief.
"Uh-huh....." Zhang Xiaoxie nodded indifferently.
At this time, dozens of burly men appeared in front of the store, faintly exuding a fierce atmosphere.
And the person at the head was none other than Tie Mu, and beside him was Zhang Qiming, who had a mocking look on his face.
"Everything's been packed, you're sensible, brothers, move things out!"
Teki glanced at several packages on the ground, beckoning the people behind him to throw them out the door.
"You!"
Zhang Xiaoye clenched his fists and wanted to rush out, but was stopped by Zhang Lan to death.
"Little Evil ...... Don't bother, we can't beat ......."
"Daddy!"
Zhang Xiaoxie held back his tears, and his heart felt like he was being torn by a knife.
In front of Temu, he was indeed as weak as an ant.
"Zhang Lansheng, I asked you to sell the shop to me a long time ago, and you are also to blame for this result today!"
Zhang Qiming walked out from behind Tiemu and sneered at Zhang Lansheng.
"Zhang Qiming, you will be retributed sooner or later if you ..... like this!"
Zhang Lansheng held back his anger and said in a deep voice.
"Hehe, then you don't have to worry about it, your family can get out right now..... Deputy Head of Tiemu has already sold this place to me!"
Zhang Qiming pointed out the door.
Zhang Lansheng's chest rose and fell violently, and it took a long time to calm down, and then he pulled Zhang Xiaoxiao and Mu Zi towards the door.
"Wait......"
Zhang Qiming's voice suddenly came from behind him.
"I heard that your family is still open in the past few days, so you should have sold it for some money, right? Although this store was only collected today, it was no longer yours seven days ago, and the money is not yours, so keep the money. ”
"Zhang Qiming, do you really want to do so badly!"
Zhang Lansheng couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and suddenly turned to stare at Zhang Qiming.
"Hmph, take down your shop, but it cost me a lot of money, and I don't get it back from you, my name is Zhang Qiming?"
Zhang Qiming sneered, and pointed at Tiemu and the others: "Even if you have two hundred rounds of crystals, hurry up and hand over the money, otherwise if Deputy Head Tiemu does it, the money is not enough for your medicine!"
"Dad, I can't give it, that's our last money!" Zhang Xiaoxie hurriedly shouted.
Zhang Lansheng had a gloomy face, looked at Tie Mu and the group of people behind him, and after a while, he threw a money bag from his arms to Zhang Qiming, and then walked towards the door.
"Daddy!!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao screamed with red eyes, but Zhang Lansheng seemed to have lost his soul, carrying the package on the ground, and walked towards the distance step by step.
"Little evil ..... let's go....."
Mu Zi sighed softly and walked towards Zhang Lansheng.
"Zhang Qiming, Tiemu, you wait! This laundry, I will take it back one day!"
Zhang Xiaoxie clenched his fists tightly, leaving a cold word, and turned to leave.
Around the store, it was already full of people.
These people have different eyes, but most of them have an attitude of watching the show.
Even the neighbors who get along well on weekdays pretend not to know each other, and their expressions are cold.
Maybe Zhang Xiaoxie has run the laundry shop too well this month, and some jealous people are also sneering at this moment.
"Hey, your family isn't going to sleep in the bridge cave, are you?"
"Why, isn't that kid quite good? I heard that I earned a lot of wheel crystals last month, hahahaha....."
"What about a lot of money, it's not a waste attribute, and now I'm kicked out and I don't even dare to say a word.....
The sharp words pierced Zhang Xiaoxie's heart like a sharp sword.
Every step he took seemed to be extremely heavy, and he didn't know how long he walked before he felt like he was out of those eyes, and then he couldn't hold back anymore and sobbed quietly.
"Little devil, it's useless to be a father...... cough cough cough ......"
Zhang Lansheng's face was full of guilt, and in the end, he coughed violently, and vaguely some bloodshot fell to the ground.
"Dad....what's wrong with you!" Zhang Xiaoxie asked anxiously.
"Your father's health is getting worse and worse, and in order to save money these days, he hasn't taken medicine......
Mu Zi sobbed on the side.
"Mother, I'll go find Dr. Hu....."
Zhang Xiaoxie was about to turn around after speaking, but Zhang Lansheng grabbed his arm.
"Little devil, the rest of the money is given to Zhang Qiming, where can I get the money to buy medicine......"
"I'm going to find Uncle Li... Didn't we help their family?..... by the way, and Aunt Liu......"
Zhang Lansheng waved his hand and said: "Our family was driven out by the hunting group, they can't hide from us now..... how can they help us .......?"
"Daddy, you have to take medicine....."
Zhang Xiaoxie said in the end, and the tears were stopped again.
"Let's go to the edge of the city first, there is an abandoned square, where many beggars sleep on weekdays, so that they can shelter from the wind and rain..."
"But ........" Zhang Xiaoxie hesitated a little.
"Little evil man, I sleep everywhere, and now I can only do this....cough!"
Zhang Lansheng waved his hand, and then the family of three walked towards a remote square.
In Zhang's laundry, Zhang Qiming happily handed Tiemu a full money bag.
"Deputy Commander Tiemu, thank you this time......"
Tie Mu shook the money bag in his hand, his tone was indifferent, and said: "Zhang Qiming, I know you are a profiteer, but I didn't expect Xin to be so ruthless, you are relatives, and you don't even leave the last bit of money to their family?"
"Hehe, if they have more money and less money, they can only starve, so you might as well give it to me, right?"
Zhang Qiming laughed dryly, and said: "My son Zhang Mo is in your hunting group, please help take care of it more in the future." ”
"Hmm...."
Temu nodded and walked out the door with the people behind him.
