Ember Ice walked down the street, watching the vendors try their best to attract customers.

As it came and went, it was already setting in the west, and half of it was swallowed up by the ground level. At this time, it is the time for the major academies to dismiss. From children of seven or eight years old to young people about the same age as Ember Ice, the otherwise deserted streets were instantly lively.

The vendors shouted loudly, trying to make the most of the easiest time of the day to make money.

After reviewing the plan again, Ember Ice entered a leisurely state again. With the drunkenness brought by the half-jar of wine just under the stomach, he slowly wandered through the street.

In fact, with his physical fitness far beyond the second realm, don't say that the osmanthus brew with little stamina in half a small altar is not big, even if the good flower carving on a jar only makes him slightly drunk at most.

Wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk. Either live in the palace, or go up the mountain for the end, and the ember ice, who has never seen the prosperity of the outside world, is happy to borrow that sip of wine to relax and relax before the war.

Looking at the children laughing and playing on the street after a day of hard study in the academy, and the peers talking in groups of three or two, Ember Bing's heart was actually full of envy. Compared to them, his school experience can be described as difficult.

At the age of three, he was able to read and recite three hundred thousand streams at the age of five. Learn poetry at the age of six, learn words at the age of seven, learn Fu at the age of eight, and count at the age of ten. Since his enlightenment, he has also studied royal etiquette and Confucian etiquette.

When he was twelve years old, Ember Qianzhen appointed him as a master and a master. From then on, he began to study the sayings of the sages, study the art of war, and work the recitals that he had reviewed after he ascended to the throne under the personal supervision of Ember Qianzhen.

At the age of sixteen, Ember Bing's schoolwork added business, medicine, medicine, medicine, and so on.

In the past eighteen years, Ember Qianzhen almost asked Ember Bing to read all the books in the Guozi Prison except for cultivation. Some taste the track, and some study deeply.

Until he was eighteen years old, perhaps because Ember Qianzhen had planned to do so, or perhaps because of the many performances of the ministers of the court, he was confiscated of the royal certificate and the money accumulated in the palace, and sent to the Sword Pavilion to study.

It can be said that the bitterness of those students can be regarded as sweet in the eyes of Ember Bing.

Just when Ember Bing was "remembering the bittersweet thoughts", he only heard a bang, and then there was the sound of "bang-la-la" coins falling and the girl's low cry of "ah".

Well, I bumped into someone. And the other party is still in a hurry.

With Ember Bing's physique, it will naturally not be him who retreats.

With the almost instinctive reflexes that he had practiced with his peers, although he hadn't even figured out what was going on, Ember Bing subconsciously reached out to pull the girl who fell backwards.

In addition, after losing her balance, the girl grabbed everywhere in a panic, trying to urge something to stabilize her body.

So......

A soft body plunged into Ember Ice's arms, with a fragrance like hibiscus flowers.

Ember Bing subconsciously hugged the girl who had just pounced, but her heart was already blank.

He has lived for nineteen years, and because Ember Qianzhen is strictly controlled, he has never even touched a girl's hand.

Even when he was in the palace, he dressed up, dressed, washed and stuffed by himself, and his life was not like a prince at all.

This was purely forced, because Ember Qianzhen transferred all the palace maids from his palace when he was seven years old.

This time it's really out of breath, well, out of breath.

One second, two seconds.

The whole street suddenly became audible.

"Ahhhh

The girl's scream rang out, and as soon as she pushed the ember away, her eyes instantly turned red.

Subconsciously, Ember Ice savored the soft touch with some loss, but immediately understood what was happening.

scolded himself in his heart, and hurriedly mobilized Zhenyuan to expel the wine in his brain.

But in this way, his mind was clear, but he was even more confused. It was the first time he had encountered such a thing. Looking at the mist in the girl's eyes, she was suddenly a little overwhelmed.

After a pause, the girl quickly picked up the copper coins scattered on the ground, glared at Ember Ice fiercely, as if nothing had happened, and ran towards a certain place quickly. It's as if someone is urging her, so anxious that she doesn't have time to teach this disciple who dares to be so despise her in public.

Ember turned around lightly, just in time to see a few drops of crystal wine falling behind the girl.

With a grunt in his heart, Ember Ice threw a mouth on his face. With a "pop", the street that had just begun to talk again returned to calm.

What is this called? He was so frightened that a man did such a thing that he forgot to say it, and in the end, he let the girl leave so aggrieved?

Then he is completely embarrassed.

I just boasted that I knew a little bit about everything, but now it seems, well, Ember Bing's face hurts a little.

No, chase. No matter what you say, you still have to apologize.

The Fang she walked just now seemed to be an outer city, right?

Having made up her mind, Ember Ice hurried towards the direction of the girl's departure. In the downtown area, he didn't dare to run like the girl just now, so the distance between the two slowly widened.

When both of them were gone, the street was noisy again, and everyone was talking.

"That was the daughter of the Lan family just now, right? It's unlucky."

"Who's to say it isn't? Originally, Old Man Lan was seriously ill, and he was counting on her to find a good husband to get money for treatment, but now it's okay, that is, to go to a big family as a concubine, I'm afraid that there are few families in the family who are willing. ”

"Damn, how dare that kid touch the person I fancied just now? Who will take his guts? Someone, let me find out what he does. ”

"Young master, with what happened just now, the master will definitely not let you marry Miss Lan back home, so let's retire from the academy and go back to Yizhou with the old slave."

"Didn't you hear me when I asked you to check on someone? I don't need you to do what I do. Are you going or not going?!"

"Yes."

With the power of hunting beyond ordinary people's ears, Ember Ice heard all kinds of discussions along the way.

There are those who pity the girl, there are those who envy and envy themselves and want to replace them, there are those who gloat, and there are even those who grit their teeth and want to kill themselves.

That voice had traces of deliberately suppressing it with the True Yuan, but it was obvious that the person who spoke was not highly cultivated, at most he had just stepped into the initial realm, and his control over the True Yuan seemed to be inadequate. Under the deliberate suppression, the words were clearer than ordinary whispers to Ember Ice, who was already in the second realm.

But that's not Ember's focus at the moment. If someone wants to check it, let him check it. It would be nice if we could find out.

In the blink of an eye, Ember Ice had already reached the end of the street. Seeing that the flow of people had decreased, he strode up.

After passing through a barren meadow about two meters wide, similar to the dividing line between the inner city and the outer city, you enter the slum. Hurry up, Ember Bing still lost the girl surnamed Lan. For a moment, he wondered who was the most serious cultivator.

For a while, Ember Ice was a little overwhelmed,

If he could, he would rather face the missionary now and fight for life and death than go through the series of oolongs just now.

He knew very well how much of a negative impact what had just happened on a girl's family. Although compared with the previous dynasty, the current Shu State is unprecedentedly prosperous in both economy and culture, and the folk customs are also much more open. But having such intimate physical contact with a strange man in the downtown area, even if it is just an accident, it will still be said to behave dissolutely.

Even if the girl has an excellent reputation, I am afraid that she will not be able to escape being talked about by the crowd.

Gossip, all mouths are golden.

Maybe someone else will take the experience as a fun encounter and laugh it off. But Ember Ice really can't do it.

"Hey, what's going to be done?" Looking at the almost identical houses in front of him, Ember Bing's head suddenly grew a little.

Sorting out his chaotic thoughts, Ember Ice began to plan around, taking the time to observe his surroundings to calm himself down.

It's a slum, but it's not that bad. The lives of the inhabitants here are not even much different from those of the people in the city in the previous dynasty. Although there is a gap from the current inner city life.

The so-called ghetto is an attempt made by the elder brother of the previous emperor and his majesty the current emperor.

After many years of accumulation and precipitation, when the previous emperor practiced Zuo, the national strength was unprecedentedly strong, and the treasury was full. So the emperor at that time ordered the entire county to be expanded outward.

Because of the enormous amount of work, the conscription at that time tripled, and almost all the young and middle-aged laborers were transferred to build the new city walls. The slightly older ones were requisitioned to carry the stones of the old city walls that had been demolished by the monks of the imperial court.

If it hadn't left a good impression in the hearts of the people for many years, I'm afraid that this realm would not be called Shu now.

It wasn't until later that Ember Qianzhen came to power. I don't know what to give to my neighbor ten thousand taels of gold, and to pay for it. barely survived that period of time, and then successively launched various policies to benefit the people to stabilize the people's hearts. It took years of interest adjustment to stabilize the situation, and the flow of the economy and people's livelihood has only returned to the previous prosperous level in recent years. The cultural aspect is even more excessive.

But the mistakes of the emperor still left hidden dangers. This hidden danger is the "slum" in front of Ember Bing.

"Slums" is the name given to the existing settlements of the villagers who originally lived in villages outside the city.

Originally, when they were outside the city, because of the conditions of clothing, food, housing, transportation, study, and cultivation, they were somewhat backward compared to those in the city, and whenever they entered the city, they had an obvious envy.

Over time, I got used to lowering my posture.

In this way, the people who live in the city are accustomed to being on top.

If this balance is not broken, the villagers will lower their posture when entering the city, and the city will naturally be happy to be "Corporal Lixian".

As soon as this balance is broken, the villagers who were originally inferior to themselves in the eyes of the people in the city suddenly become equal to themselves, and the gap in their hearts will make them instinctively reject these new neighbors.

To put it bluntly, it was the first emperor Shu Man's move that violated the interests of most people.

When interests are violated, few people can remain calm. They can't target the court, and it's natural that the "new neighbors" will bear their wrath.

Squeezing and squeezing sarcasm can be seen everywhere, and even door-to-door scolding.

And after being wronged, how could the villagers, who were originally very happy, be willing to take the initiative to integrate with a hot face and a cold ass?

After coming and going, the county towns of the whole country have formed this embarrassing situation of a city within a city, without exception. And because of this, the anxious Ember Qianqian can only vigorously study, eager to find a gap in the younger generation.

Having said that, Ember Bing, who had temporarily settled down, looked at the almost standard wooden houses and fence walls, and gave up the plan to knock on the door one by one.

Not to mention that this move is inefficient, just how to ask, let him go up and knock on the door and ask: "Did your daughter get hugged on the street"?

He was still young and wanted to live a few more years.

Let's get down to business and wait for the night on the way to the inner city. Isn't she a student at the academy in the city, and the students will always go out to the academy tomorrow morning.

By the way, I have to tell Brother Gui to go, so as to save him from worrying.

Ember Bing picked a mansion and knocked on the door knocker three times.

After a while, a woman of about forty years of age came out. The woman looked at the tall young man in linen in front of her, and saw the sword at his waist, and was a little vigilant.

"Hello auntie, my name is Li Qing, I came to us from Jingzhou to escape the famine, and I want to rent a place to live here temporarily, and then go to find a living after a few days of physical recuperation. Oh, it's not for nothing, there are still a few copper plates on the body. And I have a lot of strength, and the dirty work at home can be handed over to me. I don't know if we have any empty wings at home, no, firewood can also be used. ”

There is a lot to be said about this set of rhetoric. In order to convince the woman, Ember Bing also deliberately imitated the Jingzhou accent, and avoided using formal language as much as possible in his speech. Even before knocking on the door, he forgot to grab a handful of soil and lift it into the air, creating a gray-faced image to make his words more true.

The person who said that he had fled from Jingzhou was inspired by the fact that he was mistaken for a refugee by the soldiers guarding the city at the city gate. After all, although the people at the bottom are not much better, they are often more sympathetic than the rich and noble.

"Refugees in Jingzhou? Jingzhou is in the middle, this is the eastern end of the empire, why do you want to come to our Wuxian County as a refugee? There are many towns along the way, so why do you want to go so far?"

In the end, it was a woman who was careful, and the woman found a loophole in Ember Bing's words as soon as she saw it, and interrogated Ember Bing in the tone of Wen Zou Zou, the second son of the family, while holding the door frame with one hand, showing her nervous mentality. Obviously, as long as there is any more loophole in Ember Ice's words, she will close the door immediately.

Ember Bing, who had been prepared for a long time, was not afraid that she would ask, but she was afraid that she would not ask. At that moment, the expression on his face became bitter and sad.

There was a famine in Jingzhou, and life in nearby towns was not easy. I don't want to stay there for hunger, so this jade left by my ancestors, a very good piece of king only exchanged for two taels and six coins of silver, and there are only nearly 100 wen left here when I stop all the way. ”

While speaking, Ember Bing did not hesitate to mobilize his true qi to squeeze out a few tears. At the same time, he observes the woman's expression without a trace.

Sure enough, the vigilance in the woman's eyes weakened a lot, revealing a thoughtful look.

Just when Ember Bing thought that he had been "moved with affection" and planned to continue to 'know the benefits of it', the woman spoke: "It's not difficult to find a vacant room to rent, we have a big place here, and when the government built a house, it specially left an extra room according to the report of each family, although our house is now full of people, but there must be a lot of spare space in the neighborhood."

At this, the woman hesitated, then took a piece of silver from her purse and handed it over.

Ember Bing was surprised: "Auntie, what do you mean by this?"

The woman hesitated, but finally said, "We have a well-liked family here whose man is seriously ill and needs a lot of money to hire a husband. After tossing for a few months, the family was exhausted, but the condition was getting worse and worse, and the family was about to disperse.

"We want to help them, but they won't accept the silver directly, I want to ask you to do a favor, little brother. The borrower helped me give me the money to their family. These five coins should be enough for you to live for a month.

"Oh, little brother, don't worry, the doctor has said that the disease is not contagious."

Looking at Ember Bing's sudden frown, the woman mistakenly thought that Ember Bing did not want to get along with seriously ill people, and added another sentence at the end.

"Ah, ah, that's not tight, it's not tight. The aunt was willing to help introduce him, and the boy was already grateful. Not to mention that you can live in vain. Coming back to his senses, Ember Bing hurriedly answered.

He didn't frown because he was afraid of getting sick. Although his cultivation is not high, he is a monk who has cultivated the true yuan, and he is not allowed to be added to his body due to general diseases.

Through the woman's figure, you can see a general view of her home.

The woman has chickens in her house, and the yard is not small, but the number of chickens is not large.

Although they moved to the city, most of the villagers still left the city to farm. The woman had no cattle in her house, and it was clearly not a solid house. Even if such a family has a good year, it is not easy to have 14,500 yuan left in addition to food and clothing throughout the year.

But such a family is still willing to give one-third of the year's surplus to help the neighbors in this green season.

This is different from what Ember Bing said in watching the performance of the courtiers' party struggles and learning from the Taishi's mouth.

All Ember has learned is how to protect herself. Everything is in the interest of the self-interest. Therefore, the purpose of teaching and helping the victims is to prevent riots, and the purpose of dealing with corrupt officials is to rule the government for a long time......

But this woman is obviously different. That's a lot of money that's enough to break his bones. Win people's hearts at such a big price? The wise do not do it.

Faintly, Ember Ice seemed to understand why Ember Qianjie was so disappointed with him after holding the literary examination at that time. But let him tell the reason, but he couldn't say anything, but he just felt that something was wrong.

On the way to the Sword Pavilion, there was the little girl today and the woman in front of him now, and what Ember Bing saw and heard had a big impact on his existing thoughts.

If before that, all he thought about was how to protect himself and seek the best interests, now it can be said that he knows that there are more important things in the eyes of others than his own interests.

In fact, as the crown prince of a dynasty, Ember Bing's previous thinking can only be said to be too extreme, so that no one can say that it is wrong. Being born in the emperor's family is the greatest sorrow in itself.

Of course, to be able to form such a thought, the prince and master of Ember Ice can be said to be "indispensable", but I don't know if Ember Qianzhen, who already knows what his only son was taught by him, will be able to see him alive again when he goes back this time after being angry.

If it weren't for the character of Li Qingyun and others that had a subtle impact on him, I'm afraid he would never have understood what the most precious thing was in his life. Although he didn't realize it himself.

At that moment, seeing that Ember Bing agreed, the woman took Ember Bing and walked to the neighbor's house.

Normally, this woman is not so easy to trust others. The main reason is that the man in that family is too sick, and if he doesn't use medicine, I'm afraid that he will really lack surgery.

"It's not easy, just help if you can." These are her man's exact words.

Coupled with the fact that Ember Bing's Jingzhou voice and the poor appearance of the dusty servants really didn't seem to be fake, she agreed to the matter.

Walking to a wooden door, the woman stopped and whispered to Ember Ice behind her, "This is it." Go in yourself, I won't go in. Don't say you've seen me. ”

So saying, the woman turned and went home.

Rubbing the five coins of silver in his hand, Ember Bing's heart was filled with a strange emotion. In front of the woman's family and him, the relationship between the family seemed to be somewhat similar to the relationship between him and Qi Qi and Li Qingyun.

But it shouldn't. It's just that how can ordinary neighbors have such deep feelings?

Is this why my father made these two folk journeys back and forth?

Without further thought, when the woman walked away, Ember Bing pulled up the door knocker and buckled it three times, and said loudly, "Is there anyone!?"

After a while, another woman's voice answered from inside the courtyard, with a deep tiredness in her voice: "The door is not locked, come in."

Hearing this, Ember Ice pushed the door in.

Seeing a strange young man coming in, the woman was a little taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Ember Ice habitually looked at the two people in front of him.

I saw the woman sitting on a stone pier under a locust tree in the courtyard, facing the courtyard gate. Although he is old, it can also be seen that he must have been beautiful and moving when he was young, but looking at his uneven breath, he thought that he had just quarreled with someone.

In front of her, a young girl faced her, her shoulders twitching slightly, as if she had just stopped crying. Just looking at the back, Ember Bing actually had a sense of familiarity.

An ominous premonition permeated the heart of Ember Water.

Suppressing the feeling in his heart, Ember Bing was about to open his mouth to repeat the set he had just told the woman who helped him.

"What are you doing here?" The girl heard a sound behind her, so she turned around, and when she saw that it was Fang Cai's disciple, she instantly raised her eyebrows and let out a low voice, and her eyes, which were originally red, were filled with mist.

Ember Bing's mouth was open, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

This, this, this......

How can he rent a house now? And if this girl thinks she is stalking again, it will be all over.

"Yuyu, do you know each other? Who is this? The woman saw that her daughter was not looking right, and hurriedly asked.

"I've seen my aunt in the lower ember ice. I just met with Blue Girl on the street. Ember Bing spoke first, and at the same time desperately glanced at Lan Yuyu, trying to save herself.

The girl pretended not to see and walked slowly behind her mother.

Even in their own homes, it is not very appropriate for a girl who has not left the cabinet to talk to a man of the same generation who is not strange. Especially when the elders are around, everything should not be interfered in.

Looking at the actions of this girl named Lan Yuyu, Ember Bing breathed a sigh of relief. But he also knows. This doesn't mean that other girls aren't angry with themselves. There is no way, after all, he is the one who is at fault. I can only find a way to send the life-saving money out first, apologize, and then slowly figure it out later. At least wait for the girl's anger to subside a little.

When the woman saw that her daughter did not deny it, she did not suspect him.

At that moment, Ember Bing said the request for rent again, but he didn't mention the escape, only said that he came from a foreign country, had no roots, and wanted to find a place to live first.

Now it's the turn of the Blue Mother to make trouble.

If you have a daughter in the family who has reached the age of marriage, you really shouldn't agree to such a thing as a man who doesn't know her character, ah no, it's not okay for any man.

But if you rent out that wing, it will be another source of income. The daughter will be able to finish the rest of the year's books, and the man in his family will be able to afford the famous doctor in the city and the medicine.

In fact, the mother and daughter were arguing about this matter before Ember Bing arrived.

There was a new Taoist robe doctor in the main city, and in a few days, he rescued several seriously ill people one after another, and it was a lot of trouble for a while.

The Lan family also wanted to invite this miracle doctor, but the day after the miracle doctor became famous, the consultation fee went from one tael to ten taels - that is, 10,000 copper coins.

For the Lan family, whose family has long been empty. This is undoubtedly a huge amount of money. But no matter how difficult it is, you have to make it up. A wife cannot be without a husband, nor can a daughter be without a father.

Even if Father Lan has been sick in bed like he is now, then this family can't do it. But as soon as he really can't do it, then his wife and daughter will probably be eaten by some people in the city in an instant, and there will be no bones left.

Just now, Lan Yuyu told her mother that she had withdrawn from the academy class. When she got back some of the money she had paid and was going to find an errand in a big family, she understood what her daughter's fate would be if she chose this way, and Lan Mu was furious and quarreled with her daughter.

And the daughter, who has always been docile, is very resolute this time, and she does not dare to back down on anything.

The woman was short-sighted, and she could only see that she was paid a lot of money to work in a large family, but she did not know the filth in the compound of the wide house. But the woman also knew that the daughter did this because she wanted to save money for her father's doctor as soon as possible.

Her man has been sick for more than ten years, and from the beginning of getting married to moving freely to almost no rice now, he is about to leave.

But with her daughter's beauty and simple temperament, once she arrives in a big family, she is afraid that she will not be much better than selling herself to the Qinglou.

Lan Yuyu's personality as a mother is very clear, don't look at the usual docile as a sheep, but once something is decided, even ten horses can't pull it back.

In the bottom of her heart, the woman would rather rent out the empty room, even if it is not good, but at least her daughter is still safe.

"And how long are you going to rent it?" The woman asked.

"If I can find a living in some changes, maybe ten years. If it's hard to find, maybe a month or two, or even longer. Ember replied.

Lan Mu, who had just made up her mind to rent a house, felt a chill in her heart, two months was definitely not enough. Since her husband fell ill, the house had not been cleaned for a long time, and it would definitely leave a bad impression on the young man in front of him, and the asking price would certainly not be high. Even people may turn around and walk away after seeing it. How much is good? Twenty wen a day? The price is not high, more than double that of the most ordinary inns in the city. But in this way, two months is 1,100 wen is one or two taels of silver, although it is far higher than the usual income, but as above, all the silver in the family is only five taels or three dollars, which is not enough at all.

While the woman was thinking, Ember Ice was not idle. He found a large amount of clothes hanging on the hangers, and a large amount of clothes piled up in the wooden basin next to the hangers. It's just that they have never been washed.

It's a lot of work, not like a job that one person can do.

Ember glanced at the woman's hands again without a trace. The fingers are slender but somewhat rough and swollen, which is caused by long hours of immersion in water and a lot of work.

So desperately, it seems that the man's condition is indeed very serious, he can't get out of bed and needs to take a lot of medicine.

Suddenly, the woman's eyes lit up, and it was better to let the young man make his own bid, and if he was lower, he would raise it himself. In this way, twenty wen will definitely fall, and it may be higher.

The woman opened the door and said: "This brother, our extra wing room was originally built by the government to prevent the house from being too small, and no one has rented it out for so many years, is this price, how much does the little brother think is appropriate?"

A glance at the woman's careful thoughts, but the ember ice did not debunk. Anyway, I'm going to help them, so it's better to plan for it.

"Auntie, that's the case, I'm more disgusted with that kind of mixed environment, otherwise I wouldn't come to us to rent a room. And the food outside is really unappetizing. I'm going to hang up your food as well, but of course, I won't let you be busy, and I'll go back occasionally to buy some ingredients for you to cook. Of course, I'll pay you. At this point, Ember paused.

"I'll give you eighty percent of the inn's money. That is, forty-five wen a day, I will pay you two months first, that is, two taels and seven dollars of silver, and then I will give you one or two per month, and I will also pay you two months first, and then we will refund more and make up for less, do you think it is okay?"

The woman rejoiced, three times more than she had expected. I just wanted to agree, but I heard a coquettish cry from behind

"What do you send to beg for food? That's all you want to rent a room?"

Ember Bing raised her eyebrows: "How much does the blue girl think is appropriate?"

"The fee is according to what you said, and the house fee is two or two a month."

"Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense." The woman turned her head and reprimanded. The price is not low, and it even gives him a feeling of being in a dream. She was afraid that her daughter's high price would make the young man in front of her dislike, so she turned around and left.

After scolding her daughter, Lan Mu turned around and said to Ember Bing: "The little girl is in a mood, and I hope that the son is not strange." The price is as Childe said before. As he spoke, he didn't forget to bow down and smile.

Four taels and seven dollars of silver, Hu changed from a little brother to a son.

Ember didn't care, though. Xinshen glanced at the wrench hidden on his chest as a pendant, and there were seven taels of silver, plus the five-line silver given by the village head before, which was more than enough.

However, if you ask for someone, you dare to increase the price, girl, are you serious? Could it be that four taels of silver are not enough to cure diseases?

Anyway, he still has plenty of money, who let him do something wrong?

"It doesn't matter. The kid thought about it carefully, what Miss Lan said was reasonable. How can I live more comfortably than in Rongzhan, but give less money than in the inn. That would be a bit stingy. Then, according to what the girl said, two taels a month. Auntie, this is the first two months of silver, you take it. ”

As he spoke, Ember Bing reached into his arms, took out seven taels of silver, and handed them to Lan Mu with a smile. This action is very ingenious, and to outsiders, he shows his carefulness by keeping his belongings in his arms to prevent them from being lost. And then you would never think that there is storage hidden under the placket.

Of course, don't forget to poke three coins with a poke before giving it out.

When Lan Yuyu heard this, she glanced at Ember Bing with some surprise, but found that this disciple was looking at her with a smile on his face.

Glaring at the guy, Lan Wuyu turned her head.

Even if that guy helped the family get through the difficulties, he couldn't get through today's events! He actually dared to hug her! Hmph, take your time!

Taking the silver in a daze, Lan Mu was immersed in surprise, not noticing the small movements between the young man and her daughter in front of her.

"I'm going to get my luggage in the city. It's not getting early, I don't see that there is no fire in the house yet, why don't I stop by and buy some food and come back?" Thinking of going back and informing Brother Gui Xi, Ember Bing made a small excuse at random.

is accustomed to seeing the intrigue between the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, and such a little trick Ember Bing naturally comes with his mouth open.

Alas, Brother Gui's meal is not good to drink.

Sigh. Ember Ice really can't stay at the inn tonight. I just said that I was a newcomer, but I disappeared for one night after renting a room, which will definitely cause people to be suspicious. And he had to get on good terms with this family—if he couldn't beat that missionary, he wouldn't be betrayed if he hid here.

As for whether this family has been tricked into becoming believers, Ember Bing urged the "Ukiyo-e" to investigate before entering the door. Within a radius of fifty meters, there was no such strange energy aura that confused people's minds. In this regard, Ember Ice has absolute confidence in his exercises. Unless the other party's cultivation is more than two great realms higher than his own, he will definitely not be able to escape the perception of "Ukiyo-lu". The ancestor method of the Star Atlas Road is not called in vain.

"Why do you have to spend money on the child. Childe just went and got something. So I started a fire and cooked. Make sure that Childe has a mouthful of hot food to eat when he returns. Sister-in-law, go clean up that room. Dust off the dusty area, and wipe the bed and seat a little clean. ”
