Chapter Forty-Seven: This Is My Room
"That's right...... Then we might as well move out. The boss said.
"Move away?" Xu Shuo asked.
"Hmm." The boss nodded, "Anyway, the store is also sold, and there is no point in staying here, my wife and I will take Miao Zhen to move to the next town, I have acquaintances there, please help him, there will be a way." In this way, there is no need to worry that the Rakshasa will attack Miao Zhen. β
"Oh, that's right."
Xu Shuo looked at Miao Zhen who was asleep, thinking that he might not be able to see this little girl who would call him brother in the future, and he couldn't help but feel a little lonely.
"What are you going to go?" Xu Shuo asked.
"I'll pack my bags as soon as possible, take care of some things, and leave in a few days." The boss said, "Just in case, I'll let Miao Zhen go to a friend's house to avoid it during this period, probably no problem." β
Xu Shuo didn't know what to say, so he nodded.
The boss patted Xu Shuo on the shoulder, "You haven't had dinner yet, let's eat together, I'm not open tonight." β
Xu Shuo agreed.
Half an hour later, the two sat in the empty hall with a large table of delicacies in front of them - the boss specially prepared a sumptuous dinner in order to thank Xu Shuo for saving his life.
"Come on, please use it, eat more." The boss said to Xu Shuo across the table.
"Don't you need to call the hostess?" Xu Shuo asked.
"I asked her just now, and she said she has no appetite, let's eat." The boss said.
"Uh-oh." Xu Shuo nodded.
The two of them picked up the rice bowl and buried their heads in eating, I have to say that the boss's craftsmanship is really good, and the dishes are very good.
"But that's a strange thing." Halfway through eating, the boss said suddenly.
"What's weird?" Xu Shuo asked.
The boss put down the bowl and said thoughtfully: "Rakshasa said that he wants to bulldoze our slums, open new restaurants, casinos, and prostitution halls here, and turn this generation into an entertainment area, but he took so much money? Just buying the land rights of the entire slum will cost a lot of money, and they have to build so many new restaurants here, do they have that much money? β
Xu Shuo thought for a while and said, "Although he signed a contract with you, he doesn't seem to have given you money yet, right?" Will it end up paying the bills and taking your land for nothing? β
The boss hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "I don't think so, although Rakshasa is not a good person, but this guy has his own way of doing things, he has always done what he says, and he doesn't care about using fraud on us." β
"That is, they have saved enough money, such a big criminal organization, there must be a lot of ill-gotten gains." Xu Shuo said nonchalantly.
"No, although they collect a lot of protection money every month, I heard that half of it has to be handed over to the headquarters of the black turban thieves, and the rest of it has to feed so many of them, these ruffians still have to drink and find women, they shouldn't be able to save any money, I've been to their territory a few times, it's dirty and messy, it's similar to our slums, it's hard to imagine that they can come up with so much money, it feels like there's some conspiracy in it." The boss's expression became solemn.
"Maybe it's a scam, but didn't you decide to move, boss, it won't affect you anyway, right?" Xu Shuo said.
The bald boss thought about it and seemed to make sense, so he put his doubts behind him and continued to eat.
After dinner, Xu Shuo said goodbye to his boss and prepared to return to Wink Manor.
As soon as he walked out of the tavern, he saw the basket that Miao Zhen had brought to hold the biscuits lying alone on the ground, the biscuits were scattered all over the ground, and there were only a few pieces left in the basket - it was really strange that they had not been picked up by the homeless man in this place. Xu Shuo stepped forward and picked up the basket and carried it in his hand, and continued to walk forward.
Xu Shuo raised his head as he walked, the moon had already risen, and it looked like it had been bitten, and it was still a little short of a circle.
(It's been a long time since I've seen the moon like this, and at this time a month ago, I was probably typing into my computer, and I haven't seen it like this in a few days.) οΌ
A lot of bad things happened today, but they are all gradually calming down at this moment.
"You're pretty laid-back." Angela said, "Don't you feel a little too unvigilant? β
(Well, when I think about what will happen after that, I can't explain it, I feel like it doesn't matter.) οΌ
"After that? What happens after that? Angela asked.
(Actually, I can't say it well, but I feel this way...... You see, as soon as Miao Zhen leaves, the rakshasa can't find her, so there's nothing to worry about. As for the grudge between the Hunters' Guild and the Black Turban Thieves, who is the gang of thieves who attacked the Wink family, the security of this city, etc., it seems that they are all things that happen around me, but if you calculate carefully, they actually have nothing to do with me, do they? It's quite easy to think about it, I just need to stay out of it and live in this world like a vacation. οΌ
"It sounds like that, but you're actually quite nosy, aren't you?" Angela said.
(Do I have one?) οΌ
"What stupid things are you talking about, didn't you just help Miao Zhen get ahead today? He was almost killed. Angela said.
(That's different, it can't be called an idle matter.) οΌ
"What's this called nosy?"
(When I was young, the small groups in the class rejected me, and when I had nothing to do, I shouted "don't play with Xu Shuo, don't play with Xu Shuo" like shouting slogans in the class, and the little ghosts at that time were very naΓ―ve, and whoever made friends with me would be isolated and ridiculed by them, so those who were good to me, I would be doubly good to them, otherwise when people left, I would feel that I couldn't make up for the injuries that person suffered for me.) Although often no one ends up staying with me, it has become one of the principles of my life. οΌ
"It reminds me of my school days." Angela's voice sounded a little unpleasant.
(Will you God do the same?) οΌ
"Who says it's not, a bunch of bastards, the most angry thing is that these guys, some of them are better than me."
Xu Shuo heard a "click", followed by a "bang" jet, and someone seemed to be opening a can.
(If the gods are like that, is it the same with the demon world?) οΌ
"I don't know!" Angela finished this sentence angrily, and drank something "tons and tons".
Walking and walking, Xu Shuo had already seen the gate of Wink Manor, and the one guarding the door tonight was a young male butler.
After reporting his name to the other party, the butler showed a trace of disgust on his face, but he still opened the door very neatly, it is estimated that Lilian has already explained to the servants, as long as Xu Shuo comes back, open the door and let him in.
The surroundings were quiet, and the moonlight fell on the statue of Adam in the manor, which was inexplicably a little infiltrating, especially when I thought that the statue's deity had died in vain a few days ago, and I couldn't help but feel a chill on my back when I walked on the road.
"Ah, by the way, just make small talk, do you think the one who killed Adam Wink will be the Black Turban Thief? Didn't your president say they did it today? Angela's voice came from "Kazkaz", as if she was eating some puffed food.
(You're so homely, and you're still so able to eat, won't you get fat?) How do I know if it's, and if it is, doesn't it feel like it's a little bit wrong? οΌ
"Where can I eat?! Just eat a little once in a while! Occasionally! Angela reacted quite violently, "Also, what's not quite right, how did you talk tonight." β
(There are only three motives for killing people in this world, either for profit or revenge, and one is simply to enjoy the pleasure of killing, killing for the sake of killing.) I think the third type can be basically ruled out, then there is only profit and revenge left, if it is a black scarf thief, in what I have seen today, I feel that with their style, if there is a grudge, they should come directly to the door, there is no need to be so troublesome. But if it is for profit, isn't it more profitable to tie people up for ransom than to kill people? οΌ
"So, didn't the black scarf thief do it?" Angela said a little depressedly: "I watched their performance today, and I thought they must have done it." However, it is really difficult to say about the family affairs of the big nobles, and there is no feud between them, and there will occasionally be some friction between the nobles of the kingdom or something, maybe it is the enemy of the Wenke family. β
(Feud?) Like Romeo and Juliet's family? οΌ
"Maybe."
(Can you look up the history of the Wink family so you might know who did it?) οΌ
"I can't find this, I don't have a small family history in a small place like this. I said you, don't rely on me all the time, and investigate for yourself. β
(Okay.) οΌ
Xu Shuo walked for a long time, and finally walked from the main gate of the manor to the main house, the main house was very quiet, and there was no one, but the lights were all on.
He went up to the second floor according to his memory, found his room, and the moment he pushed the door, a figure in the room shook violently - it was a cat-eared girl, she was eating her own stored grain, and she was eating happily, when someone suddenly pushed the door in and startled her.
After the cat-eared girl saw that it was Xu Shuo, she patted her chest while holding on to the table, and slowly slid to the ground like a puddle of slime, with an expression of wanting to cry without tears on her face, and she seemed to be very frightened.
"Please, no one told you to knock before you enter?" The cat-eared girl said.
Xu Shuo was a little speechless, "What nonsense are you talking about, this is my room." β
"So what, I'll come first." The cat-eared girl stirred her nose as she spoke, "What kind of taste, did you bring food?" β
"Are you a cat or a dog?" Xu Shuo shook the basket in his hand, "I did bring some biscuits." β
As soon as she heard that it was a biscuit, the cat-eared girl turned over and ran in front of Xu Shuo, and reached out to take it out of the basket.
"Hey, hey." Xu Shuo slapped her hand away, "Have you asked me and you're going to get started?" β
"It's compensation for my fright!" The cat-eared girl said and quickly shot again, took three at once, and stuck out her tongue at Xu Shuo "slightly" after getting it.
ββ¦β¦ For the sake of cuteness, I won't bother with you. β
