"Owner, why do you want to do these things?"

Xing Xiaojiu looked up, his face full of puzzlement.

"Probably there is a belief in my heart." Just as Xia Chong was puzzled at the beginning, Chen Jing repeated it seriously.

The dynasty is in a downturn, and the new emperor wants to reform and reshuffle, which is bound to affect the interests of many people. Driven by interests, there are endless open and hidden arrows.

"Proprietor, what is faith?"

"It's like worshipping gods and temples, hoping that the wind and rain will be smooth, and expecting the Bodhisattva to send a child."

Xing Xiaojiu vaguely understood.

Chen Jing raised his head and glanced outside the courtyard. After a busy night's work, the official did not catch anyone.

The rain is still falling.

"The owner, the officials are gone."

"Xiao Jiu, go out with me."

"Where?"

"At the end of the alley."

Holding an oil-paper umbrella and walking to the edge of the firewood stack, Chen Jing picked a guy who took advantage of it. This appearance made Xing Xiaojiu think that he was going to fight in a group, and hurriedly ran back to the house to get the talisman.

"Talk to an old acquaintance." Chen Jing's face was full of anger.

……

Bluestone Lane, placed on a sunny day, running from the end of the alley to the end of the alley, is just a cup of tea.

Stepping through the stagnant water, Chen Jing walked very fast. With that handy firewood stick, he even considered the perfect strike point of the force from the level of physics.

Several families at the end of the alley, seeing Chen Jing's appearance with a stick, quickly ran into the house and closed the door.

Stopping, Chen Jing raised his head and looked at the Wu family's courtyard in front of him. The yard is very dilapidated, and Lao Wu, who eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles, has lost his family business as early as two or three years ago. Even the old mother was forced back to the countryside.

As for the title deed of this rotten house, the asking price is 100 taels, and it has never been sold.

"Boss, the door is closed, do you want to knock?"

"Knock on a chicken feather and kick me directly!"

Xing Xiaojiu was stunned, and his face began to turn dark, and he kicked his leg in annoyance, and immediately kicked the wooden door out of a hole.

Chen Jing is not worried about things like reporting to the official, in this situation, even the county lord has been dismissed, and few people pay attention to the grievances of a poor ghost scholar.

Walking in, faintly, you can still hear the woman's grievances in the room. sold an old friend and earned five taels of silver, and it is estimated that he invited a flower girl.

Chen Jing turned his head.

"Owner, I don't ask, I'll kick it directly."

Boom.

The broken door of the inner room fell, and Wu Wen, who was like a hemp pole, was originally sighing with his back to his back, but when he heard the sound, he turned his head in fright, and his face was extremely pale.

The fat girl on the wooden bed was even more shocked to put on a thin veil and ran out with shocking steps.

"Brother Wen is busy." Chen Jing sat down with a sneer, "What's the matter, it's raining and cool, you're quite lively?" ”

"Brother Jing, don't talk nonsense, it's already the third round, and I just rested......" Wu Wen gritted his teeth, his face was extremely stubborn.

"I'm too lazy to listen." Chen Jing put down the stick, and his tone became colder and colder, "I heard that you have recently made a sum of money. The IOU is here, how about it, it's time to pay it back, right? ”

"That doesn't count!" Wu Wen jumped up and was about to rush out the door. But he never thought that Xing Xiaojiu, who was outside the door, was probably addicted to kicking, so he directly raised his leg and kicked a few steps, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"Brother Jing, those five taels of silver—"

"It's eight taels, and it's profitable." Chen Jing pointed to the IOU, "I don't care about the rest, but the IOU is here, even if you get it from the official office, you can't be reasonable." ”

"Brother Jing, I have a headache again."

Chen Jing didn't ask any more, picked up the firewood stick, looked at it, and then beat Wu Wen down. This stick made Wu Wen scream and shout, and his nose and tears stuck together.

"Brother Jing, in the year of Gengzi, I will give you half a bag of rice. Last year in Oxtail Lane, you were chased by wild dogs, and I also helped throw a few rocks. ”

Just listening, Chen Jing fought even more fiercely.

Seriously, he doesn't know the Feng family. But no matter what, a dog who sells old friends' things can be beaten up, which is a very happy thing.

God knows why the eldest son of the Feng family is looking for Wu Wen.

Lifting the firewood stick again and again, Chen Jing's movements became bigger and bigger, until the whole firewood stick, with a "bang", broke off on Wu Wen's back.

Wu Wen was already semi-unconscious, with a grinning appearance of bared teeth, and his body was full of redness and swelling.

Chen Jing gritted his teeth and wanted to go out of the house to find another one to take advantage of.

"Boss, if you fight again, you're going to die. If someone dies, the official workshop will definitely be arrested. Xing Xiaojiu hurriedly persuaded.

Chen Jing stopped his movements and stood in the rain, standing bitterly. In his heart, there is always a kind of unhappiness, like a fish in his throat, unable to swallow.

Turning his head, he glanced at Wu Wen, who was like a dead dog.

"Xiao Jiu, go home. When he healed, he came back to talk. ”

In the sky, the thick dark clouds have not yet dispersed, and the whole world is still wet.

Back in the courtyard and sitting on the stake, Chen Jing looked up distractedly. He only felt that he was like a flat boat, drifting with the wind and rain, trapped in the vast sea.

"Reach out."

Hearing the voice, Chen Jing turned his head. found that at some point, Song Yu had already come over.

Chen Jing stretched out his hand. When he was beaten with a stick, he used so much force that even the tiger's mouth was cut.

"Song Yu, I fought, are you angry or not."

"Don't be angry."

"Why don't you get angry?"

"You're like a son."

Chen Jing laughed, let Song Yu spill the gold sore medicine on the wound.

In the past, the original owner was always bullied, and the most fierce time was when he was blocked by a few drunks, beaten and frightened, and the original owner kept kneeling and begging. Song Yu, who got the news from his neighbors, couldn't call for help, so he could only carry a firewood stick and run alone to save people.

"Song Yu, our days will be better."

This is the second time I've heard it.

Song Yu stopped moving, didn't speak, and continued to help Chen Jing clean his wounds.

The humidity of the rain and the cool breeze should be very cold. But at this moment, Chen Jing only felt warm.

"Chen Jing, you listen to me and take a good test. After taking the Xiucai exam, you can go to the official workshop to get a notarization and be a private school gentleman. ”

"I don't want that." Chen Jing shook his head.

"And you want to be in business all the time?"

"I want the Chen clan in Qingshi Lane to become a family."

Song Yu was silent and did not answer.

She had read books and knew a lot of truth. She can even foresee how difficult the road to be taken by her little father-in-law.

He was unbelieving. But in recent days, Xiao Xianggong seems to be different. is no longer like before, when he encounters the vixen of his neighbor, he dares to scold back.

"Chen Jing, if you think it's right, then go for it."

Wrapping the wound with a linen cloth, Song Yu got up.

"Don't go, sit together." Chen Jing turned his head.

Song Yu sat down and sat quietly, with a pair of good-looking eyes, and slowly there was some hope.

The rain fell in the yard and ticked non-stop.

Two people, two wooden stakes, quiet eaves, noisy tiles, and a life that does not know the future.
