Maple Leaf is a beautiful town, and the people in the town are hardworking and welcoming. No matter how beautiful the place is, it also has its dark side, such as the splashing skin Zhang San, such as the old bustard in Yihong Courtyard, a master who eats people and does not spit out bones. Yihongyuan will not close down because he bought a woman in confusion, and Zhang San will not go to the gambling house because he sold his daughter and had money. Everything is still going on according to the law.

The next morning, the dew was still hanging on the branches and leaves, and the morning mist had not yet lifted, and the wet earth was tread. Zhou Yu walked to the cemetery outside the town in a daze.

Zhou Yu knelt in front of his mother's grave and kowtowed respectfully three times, standing in a daze and throwing the money. The tomb is very rough, the inscription in front of the tomb is written on wood, the tomb of Zhangmen Li, the filial daughter Zhou Yuli, is simple to the extreme.

"Mother, the child is leaving, and I can't stay with you here for a long time. The shopkeeper of the OSI Inn will come to sweep the cemetery for you. The daughter met a kind person and no longer suffered from sin. Mother, the child is gone. Zhou Yu stood up with red eyes, and his little hand took the confused big hand and walked away.

After coming back, he took Zhou Yu to sit in Feng Xian's carriage and continued to hurry, for little Zhou Yu, Maple Leaf Town was her nightmare, although the enthusiasm of the town gave her a lot of help, but because of a vicious stepfather, all the good things were ruined. The carriage drifted farther away, and Maple Town became smaller and smaller. Finally disappeared into the vast mountains.

As little Zhou Yu said last night, she can really do a lot of things, and everything else except going to the toilet along the way was taken care of by Zhou Yu. The attentive Zhou Yu made a face wash for the confusion and brought breakfast. Organize and pack up your travels in the house. Zhou Yu felt that she was a confused person now, at least a maid who was sleeping.

Confused but without this kind of awareness, just hugging Xiao Zhou Yu is like holding his little sister, what's wrong? This is the difference between ancient and modern people. Ideological imprisonment can never be shaken off. Xiao Zhou Yu also clearly knows that maybe he can only be a maid in the future.

Confused loves Zhou Yu very much, and loves his little sister. A dress was made for her with the best fabric, and she wore her own clothes that were too big and funny when she went out.

Having never worn clothes made of cotton silk, Xiao Zhouyu felt the warmth of his body for the first time. Long-term malnutrition caused Zhou Yu's development to be very slow. For eating, she only ate a little bit of steamed buns in the morning and put them in her arms. Confused asked, "Aren't you hungry?"

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry, just one steamed bun a day." ”

Confused, he cried and laughed: "I bought you, I'm still afraid of your little food, eat it." No matter how much you eat, you won't be able to eat enough for me. You're almost puberty, so you should eat more. It is of great help to the body. ”

Zhou Yu asked weakly: "Can I eat two steamed buns a day? When I am at home, I may not be able to eat one steamed bun for three days." Every time I eat more, my dad will teach me a hard lesson. Saying that I am a money-loser, eating more is also eating more for others. At this time, my mother would always hold me in her arms and bear everything silently. ”

Putting down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand in a daze, he gently stroked Zhou Yu's head, and his voice was a little choked: "Eat with peace of mind, no one here will talk about you." ”

On the way, Zhou Yu sat in the carriage and did not come out, and accompanied Feng Xian to drive the carriage in a daze, and along the way, there were more and more pedestrians on the road, and the dust raised by the carriage became bigger and bigger. The pavement began to become more and more tidy. There were bursts of laughter and laughter from many flower-filled carriages, and it was the young boy who took the young ladies out to play. The capital is almost here.

Everything Zhou Yu saw was very novel, the tall city wall looked majestic, and the people came and went very lively. In front of the city gate, he got out of the car with Zhou Yu and parted with Feng Xian to say goodbye. The capital of the Eastern Japan Kingdom ushered in two more wandering and rootless travelers. Strange environment, strange people.

Confused took Zhou Yu into the city, and the soldiers patrolling back and forth on the streets exuded an aura of majesty. A tense atmosphere emanated through the national capital. Many of the shops on the street are closed and slightly deserted, and the pedestrians on the road are also full of silence. Came to a tooth shop, the shopkeeper's surname was Sun, and at first glance he was a businessman who greeted him with a smile as soon as he entered the door, and said in a daze that he wanted to find a house to live in the national capital.

Shopkeeper Sun opened the ledger and said, "How big is the room for the guest officer?"

In a daze, he took Zhou Yu's hand and said, "Just the two of us, one courtyard is enough." But the place should be clean, just don't be too noisy. Shopkeeper Sun looked at it for a while and said: "Yes, there is a courtyard in Mazui Hutong on West Street, and that place is quiet enough." The price is also not expensive. ”

Confused, he said, "The shopkeeper can take me to see it." If you are satisfied, the price is not a problem. ”

As soon as I heard it, I knew that he was a cheerful person, and the shopkeeper Sun arranged the guys to see the highlights, and went straight to Mazui Hutong on West Street in a daze, and there were still very few pedestrians on the capital near noon. Confused and curious, he asked: "Shopkeeper Sun, there are still so few pedestrians on the street near noon, and the last time I came to the capital, it was still very lively." ”

Shopkeeper Sun looked around in a panic, and hurriedly said: "Don't you dare to say this, it's all the meaning of the top." Shopkeeper Sun pointed to the sky with his finger, and he immediately understood in confusion.

When the gate was opened, the courtyard was very decayed, the ground was covered with fallen leaves, and the windowsill was covered with a thick layer of dust. I guess no one has stepped into it for three or five years. A musty smell came out.

Confused: "The courtyard is still okay, it's too decaying." ”

Shopkeeper Sun said: "Although it is defeated, you can move in with a little repair." Shaking his head in a daze, Xiao Zhouyu pulled his confused hand and said, "Childe, just live here, I'll clean the courtyard." ”

Scratched Zhou Yu's nose in a daze and said, "Don't call your son, you will call your brother in the future." Got it?" Zhou Yu nodded in agreement.

Confused continued: "Since Xiao Zhou Yu wants to, he has to come down." Shopkeeper Sun, how much does your house cost?"

Shopkeeper Sun said: "It only takes fifty taels." ”

Zhou Yu's whole face turned pale when he heard that he was about to be fifty taels, and he took his confused hand and said, "Childe...... No. No, my brother doesn't want it, it's too expensive. We don't want it. ”

Shopkeeper Sun said with a bitter face: "You must know that these fifty taels are already very cheap to buy a set of courtyards in the capital. I'm selling it to you at a discount. ”

Confused: "The price of the shopkeeper is not a problem, even if I buy it now, I can't move in." You're doing a favor and repairing the house as well. The furniture inside is also fully furnished, and as for the price, I have twenty taels more. What do you think?"

Shopkeeper Sun hurriedly nodded and said, "You are bright, you are bright." Go, go. Let's go back to the store and complete the rest of the formalities. ”

The three of them returned to the tooth shop, and the shopkeeper Sun took out the title deed and the paper contract. Seeing that all the things were ready, he took out the silver ticket of one hundred taels in confusion, and the shopkeeper Sun saw that his eyesight was extremely high, and he saw that the silver ticket was the authentic Dongri treasure banknote, and he looked for forty taels of silver in confusion. Shopkeeper Sun nodded and sent the two out of the tooth line, and said, "You can move in in ten days." ”

Confused took little Zhou Yu to stay in an ordinary inn, and took Zhou Yu to walk around the streets and alleys during the day, or buy some daily necessities. I saw all the bustling streets in the capital and walked all over the streets and alleys of the capital. Ten days later, he took Zhou Yu and moved into the courtyard in Mazui Hutong on West Street. Shopkeeper Sun was greeting him at the door, and when he saw that he was confused and came with Zhou Yu alone, his face was puzzled but it was inconvenient to ask more, and he arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to the son." ”

Confused, he arched his hand and said, "Shopkeeper Sun is polite." I'm bothering you to come here yourself. ”

The shopkeeper Sun said with a smile: "To do us is to talk about integrity, since you have carte blanche to entrust me to handle this matter, you must do your best to handle this big and small things." Shopkeeper Sun took out a bunch of keys and said, "This is the key to the door, and I will entrust it to you today." ”

Confused took the key and opened the door, and saw that the inside was newly repaired, the dead leaves on the ground were gone, and the mottled leaf marks were also cleaned up. The water in the small pond has also been refilled with crystal clear. The doors, windows and roofs have been carefully renovated, and they have been renovated inside and out, and they have a new look inside and out, and they nodded frequently in a daze: "Thank you for your heart." ”

"Childe is polite, I don't know if you are still satisfied with the house?" asked the shopkeeper Sun.

Confused and satisfied: "Very satisfied, much better than I expected." Seeing it, the shopkeeper Sun was meticulous in his work. ”

Shopkeeper Sun said with satisfaction: "Sun has been based in the national capital for more than ten years, relying on integrity. Since you feel satisfied. Then I will take my leave. ”

Said in a daze: "Shopkeeper Sun walks slowly, today is my housewarming joy, and I hope to smile at a little color." Confused, he took out some broken silver and put it into the hand of the shopkeeper Sun.

Shopkeeper Sun smiled: "It seems that Gongzi is not a local." Local customs do not refer to these. ”

Confused: "I don't know what regulations are needed to settle in the national capital." ”

Shopkeeper Sun said: "Since Gongzi is a sensible person, I don't talk a lot of nonsense, you need a piece of paper in the yamen to settle in the national capital, you also know that the official word has two mouths, and the silver two is about ten taels." ”

Confused, he immediately took out ten taels of silver and said, "At this time, I will bother the shopkeeper." ”

Shopkeeper Sun nodded and said, "Hold me at this time." Sending away the shopkeeper Sun, Zhou Yu on the side had already run away from the courtyard in a happy mood. Room by room. Not to mention how excited you are.

A dilapidated house that has lived in a leaky house for many years, and suddenly has a house that is the courtyard of a mansion in her eyes, how can she not be excited. Confused took out all the daily necessities from the bag, took out a long string of firecrackers and lit them at the door, and the crackling sound spread throughout the neighborhood. But he found that no one in the neighborhood came out. The confused face was a little puzzled, and it happened that two passers-by walked by, and whispered: "This ghost house also dares to be occupied." It's really boring and crooked. ”

"Go, go. This place is very obscure. ”

Hearing the words of the two people, he said in a daze: "It turned out to be a ghost house, I said why is it so cheap, and it is really cheap and not good, and good is not cheap." ”

Zhou Yu, who was elated, wrinkled his cute nose and said: "They can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, so I think this yard is very good." ”

Confused also smiled: "Hehe, I don't believe in ghosts either, if it's a female ghost, there will still be some sexual encounters." ”

Xiao Zhou Yu said: "Brother, we can't enter the female ghost family." You're going to marry a young lady from a big family. ”

"So soon to set up a family affair for my brother? Confused and joking.

Little Zhou Yu said with tears in his eyes: "My brother is Zhou Yu's life-saving benefactor, and Zhou Yu has been your person for the rest of his life." Naturally, I have to care for you, I know what my life is, I just ask my brother not to sweep me out of the house in the future. ”

Confused and hurriedly comforted Zhou Yu, now is the time for her to grow her body, she can't bear any trauma in her soul, and she won't leave any shadow when she grows up in the future.

The kitchen was empty, and after taking out the big iron pot from the bag and placing it, I went out in a daze to buy some fresh vegetables and go home. Leave Zhou Yu alone to take care of the house.

The market is not far away, just a few streets away. I bought a lot of vegetables, and when I came home with them, I found that smoke had risen from the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Zhou Yu's weak body was constantly working, tidying up the things in the kitchen, the beads of sweat on his forehead kept falling, and he felt embarrassed when he was confused with his skillful hands.
