He Lingchuan raised his eyes and found that it was an old woman, looking around as she walked, and her walking posture was a bit inward.

She was thin and shriveled, but her belly was a little bulging, which reminded He Lingchuan of the dead wooden stake by the river.

"Are you the shopkeeper?"

As soon as she opened her voice, her voice turned out to be much younger than her face, and He Lingchuan found that she had all her teeth, and she didn't seem to be as old as she looked.

"Sort of." He told the truth, "This store has just been reclaimed, and it may be a while before it reopens." “

"What are you going to sell?" The old lady touched and flipped around, and was not polite to him at all.

"It's not clear yet." He didn't have the heart to take care of the shop in his dreams, so he would entrust the official to rent it, and the money would be counted by quarter, "Who are you?" ”

"I—I'll take things." The old woman's eyes wandered through the pile of debris, high and low, not only not dazzling but also very divine.

Somehow, He Lingchuan felt that she was very much like an otter on the riverbed in the dry season. That creature also likes to spend time in the clutter heaps it has built.

It's just that she's too thin, and her eyes are a little protruding and bloodshot.

"Do you want any more?" The old woman said dryly, "Don't just send me, huh?" ”

"No, you can take it all."

The old woman immediately gave him a gesture: "Good Samaritan, good Samaritan, God will bless you!"

That's too polite.

He Lingchuan soon saw that the old woman got a cart out of nowhere and parked it outside the store, and then went into the store to move things.

She took away a jar first.

The outside of this jar was wrapped in a thick layer of yellow plaster, hidden under the two nested tables, and the table was blocked by a screen, He Lingchuan didn't see it when he first counted things, and he didn't know how the old woman found it.

He couldn't help but ask, "What's the use of this jar?" “

"Pickled...... Pickles. ”

The jar is not too big, at most it can hold five or seven catties of wine, and any of the sauce jars He Lingchuan has ever seen are bigger than it.

"I'll help you move?" He was purely well-intentioned.

The old woman hugged the jar tighter, as if she was afraid that he would come and grab it: "No, no!"

Then she removed two incense burners, a few inkstones, and a row of ceramic dolls.

This row of puppets is poorly made, and He Lingchuan always feels that they are glaring at people with malicious intentions. Probably the former shopkeeper of the store felt the same way, so he threw them in the storeroom, out of sight.

The old woman liked it very much, and said happily: "This is good, take it back to my son to play." ”

He Lingchuan really wanted to ask her son how old he was and still playing this, but there was a sudden bang outside, and the cart was knocked down.

The old woman sighed and hurried out.

Several things on the cart were knocked to the ground, and the jar rolled several times.

At a glance, He Lingchuan saw that a large piece of the mud skin outside the jar was peeling off, revealing the gray and yellowish substrate inside.

Jars of this color don't seem to be common in Panlong City?

The old woman was also distressed, picked up the jar and turned around twice to check, and found that there was no more damage, so she exhaled.

At this moment, someone on the side approached and said hello to He Lingchuan.

"Arlo?" He Lingchuan was surprised, "Why are you here?"

"Go to the front pharmacy to get the medicine." Arlo turned around and pointed, "The goods ordered a few days ago only arrived today." Is this your store? ”

"yes."

"I just came to sort it out today, it seems that you are not short of money." The shop was rented out one day earlier, and the money was collected one day earlier.

The two of them spoke, and the old woman stood up.

Maybe it was because she had been squatting for too long, and as soon as she stood up, she shook twice and almost fell.

Arlo gave her a hand.

When the old woman stood still, she grabbed the handle of the cart and pushed it out.

"Old lady, are you taking such a little?" When the two of them looked at it, there was not much in the cart.

"I can't take much." The old woman seemed to be very pragmatic, "Give the rest to others." ”

Arlo's expression and eyes were a little strange, and he asked the old woman, "Are you okay?"

"Okay." The old woman cart is leaving.

Arlo pressed the handlebar: "You're pregnant, you know, right?" ”

(This chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 235: Strange Old Woman

When these words came out, He Lingchuan was really startled.

Pregnant? This old woman?

The old woman was also stunned, but immediately said, "It has nothing to do with you, don't be nosy!"

She looked angry, and apparently in the know, Arlo had to let go and let her push away.

Her back quickly disappeared around the corner, without looking back.

He Lingchuan scratched the back of his head: "What did you just say, she is pregnant?" ”

"Well, I felt the pulse, although only for a moment."

"Could it be ......" mistaken?

However, seeing Ah Luo's eyes, He Lingchuan immediately changed his words: "How many months?"

He had seen the old woman's belly slightly bulging before, but many old people were like this, so he didn't think much about it.

It's so weird.

"About four or five months."

The listeners took a breath and couldn't see it.

Arlo shook his head: "I only know that the pulse is stable and a little restless, and the fetuses in her womb are so active that they are even at risk of slipping, but fortunately they are still strong." ”

"Guys?" He Lingchuan was shocked, "How many are she still pregnant?" ”

"At least two or more." A Luo said, "You think I'm an immortal, and you can know how many I am pregnant when I touch it?"

Someone on the side suddenly said: "Are you sure that Sister-in-law Ji is alive?" ”

The two turned their heads and saw the owner and his wife of the leather shop next door standing at the door of the store, looking incredulous.

"What is it for?" Arlo has a bad temper, especially dissatisfied with others questioning his medical skills, "Love believe it or not." ”

The shopkeeper was also kind, and hurriedly apologized: "Don't be annoyed, Master Jun, we just can't imagine it, this thing is too weird." ”

His wife was much more straightforward: "Sister-in-law Ji has someone outside?" This is really knowing the face but not the heart. ”

He Lingchuan dusted the debris on the steps: "What's wrong with the old tree sprouting new shoots?" ”

The owner's wife said directly: "She is not too old, only four years older than me, but she has been widowed for many years, and after losing her son, she has become a god and a god, and I can't imagine that I can find a man again." “

She looks less than forty, so Sister-in-law Ji is also in her early forties, much younger than her appearance.

"Lost a child?" He Lingchuan remembered the row of ceramic dolls that Sister-in-law Ji took away, "How many children does she have?" ”

"The two sons died on the battlefield."

Ah Luo's eyes lowered, and He Lingchuan sighed wordlessly.

This is the fate of all the good sons and daughters in Panlong City, but no one knows before they arrive, except for He Lingchuan.

The pain of losing a child, and having to endure it twice, no wonder the old woman was a little crazy, and said that she would take the clay puppet back to play with her son.

As for the sprouts of old trees, although this kind of thing is a bit strange, others have no right to ask.

"She used to be my neighbor, and I can often hear her wailing loudly in the middle of the night. If it was ten days and a half months, everyone would have put up with her, but who could stand it for half a year, she became more and more confused, and wanted to take away other children. Later, the neighborhood had to drive her away, and heard that she had moved to the suburbs. ”

Arlo suddenly said, "How long have you not seen her?" ”

"Uh......" The shopkeeper and his wife glanced at each other, "almost, three years"

Three years to grow old like this?

After finishing speaking, the door of the store returned to calm, the shopkeeper and his wife next door shrank back, and Ah Luo also said to He Lingchuan: "I'm going to Yuewutang to sit in the hall today, are you going?" ”

"Okay, take me to the show." He Lingchuan locked the store with his backhand, leaving the small episode that had just happened behind.

There are three martial arts arenas in Panlong City, and the Yuewu Hall is located near the west gate, which is the largest in area and the largest number of people in peacetime.

This is a place for heroes to learn their skills, saying that it is good to meet friends with martial arts, and saying that there is no second place to actually use martial arts.

He Lingchuan has been immersed in hard work for several months, day and night, and it can be said that the effort he has put in is three or four times more than that of ordinary people, and of course he also wants to test his recent achievements in the martial arts arena.

The predecessor of Yuewutang was a horse farm, which was still in the suburbs at that time, and later Panlong City expanded outward, and soon enclosed it. So this land was destined to be large and empty, but Panlong City built a high wall to enclose it, and only one-fifth of the land was exposed to the public.

The signboard of the Yuewutang (this chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 235: Strange Old Woman

It's very big, this word dragon flies and phoenix dances, and the small word on the side is Zhong Shengguang.

It turned out that it was the bell commander who personally inscribed it.

However, He Lingchuan has little knowledge, and it is the first time he has seen a signboard with black letters on a white background, ah, this, it is really solemn.

Arlo led him inside, and the guards checked the signs of the two before letting them go.

This place is not open to the public, and only the soldiers of Panlong City can enter.

As soon as he walked in, He Lingchuan felt that this place was so big. He knew that the Yuewu Hall was actually bounded by the tower in the middle, dividing the north and south courtyards, and the south courtyard was close to the gate, facing the soldiers and guards of Panlong City, with a total of five venues; The north courtyard is only open to the Gale Army, and the people in the south courtyard can only look north through the fence, secretly envious in their hearts.

The building is a small two-story building that separates the two hospitals, and is designed to provide logistical support for warriors, where they can rest, sharpen their blades, unload equipment, and have special doctors sit in the hall in case of accidents.

Arlo is here to take over the doctor, and he is short of money.

Now there are dozens of people in the South Courtyard, and the edge of the martial arts training ground can be used for solo self-training, but the center of the field must be cleared out for the competition and confrontation. He Lingchuan saw the six people fighting each other, the knives and swords in their hands were all wooden, and the blades were smeared with red powder.

The person who is hit will leave a red mark on his body. If there is no substantive knockout in the end, the match will be decided by the number and location of the red marks on each person's body.

He Lingchuan turned his eyes again, and actually found a familiar face again

Skinny.

The guy waved a dozen notes in his hand, stood on the edge of a fight, and roared hoarsely.

But he was not conspicuous at all, because the shouts of the onlookers were overwhelming!

There was a bang, and the players in the field were knocked to the ground by their shields.

There was a burst of boos on the side, some people left in a hurry, and some people shouted to the thin man to ask for money: "I won, I won, give the money quickly!"

This money is absolutely indebted, the thin man turned his back and flicked left and right, blocking all the hands stretched out from behind, while grabbing the charcoal stick to cross out the note: "Don't worry, don't worry, come one by one!"
