"Eldest sister, is there a family surnamed Lu here at the mouth of the alley?" Sun San asked aloud to a middle-aged woman who was washing clothes by a broken well.

The woman who was washing clothes finally lifted her gray face, patted her ears gently, and asked Sun San in a western accent, "What did you say?" ”

"Eldest sister, I've said it three times." Sun San said helplessly, he had to raise his voice a little more, and asked, "Is there a family surnamed Lu here at the mouth of the alley?" ”

"Oh, you're asking Old Man Lu's family, right?" The middle-aged woman finally understood Sun San's question, and then she raised her hand and pointed to a thatched house in front of her right, "The road over there is at the end." ”

"It's such an alley." Sun San muttered a few words, but fortunately it was not difficult to find, he hurriedly thanked him, and regardless of whether the eldest sister who was washing clothes heard it or not, he hurriedly walked towards the thatched house.

The alley was not very long, and Sun San soon stood at the door of the thatched house, he grabbed the wooden ring on the door, knocked on the door panel vigorously, and asked loudly, "Is there anyone?" ”

"Who?" An old voice came from the other side of the door. Sun Sanyi shivered instantly, "This ...... Why does this sound so familiar? ”

Soon, the door was opened, and an incomparably familiar face appeared in Sun San's eyes.

"Uncle...... Uncle? How are you?! Sun San was taken aback, but quickly reacted, "It turns out that you live near Dengnan Port. ”

"The third brother of the Sun family?"

The old man's eyes immediately took on a bit of vigilance, and he clung to the door and asked, "How did you find here?" ”

"My host asked me to come here to collect the money for the hearth." Sun San replied with a slight stammer.

"The miracle doctor who went to Master Hu's mansion that day to see a doctor was your owner?" Old man Lu said in disbelief, he remembered the message his daughter brought back, and finally let go of the hand holding the door, "Since that's the case, you can come in." ”

Sun San smiled respectfully, and then stepped into the small courtyard, and at this moment, Old Man Lu's voice sounded again, "You wait in the courtyard, I'll go to the back room to get the money, and you leave quickly after taking the money." ”

"I ...... I know. Sun San said a little resignedly, and then he suddenly remembered something, and asked the old man with concern, "Uncle ......., how is Xiaoyue lately?" ”

"She is very good, and now she has been favored by the son of Hu Fu, and the two are in love." The old man's voice became much heavier when he said the four words of affection.

The smile on Sun San's face froze, he was silent for a moment, and then forcibly pulled the corners of his mouth, and said with a forced smile: "Yes, she just has a good life." ”

"You just have to wait here." After Old Man Lu finished speaking, he hurried to the house.

Sun San stood in the courtyard in despair, his whole body trembling invisibly. Maybe he had already expected what the old man said, but when the prediction in his mind really came true, he found that his heart was still so fragile.

The old man came out quickly, he clutched the copper coin in his hand, and waited until he walked in front of Sun San before he was a little reluctant to hand him over to Sun San's hands, "Let's go, before Yue'er gets married, you'd better not come over again." ”

"I know, uncle, my grandson is not the kind of person who stalks." Sun San struggled to stand up, turned around and walked towards the gate.

At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and a burly man with a burden on his shoulders walked in, and when he saw Sun San, he said in surprise: "Isn't this the third brother of the Sun family, why did you come here?" ”

"It's Brother Lu." Seeing his childhood playmate, Sun San's face also showed some joy, "That's the case, my uncle and aunt recently bought a nose stove from my owner, and I came to collect money for the nose stove, but I didn't expect you to live here." ”

When the burly man heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "It turns out that the divine doctor who sold the nasal stove to Xiaoyue is the third brother, your proprietor." After speaking, he hurriedly put down his burden and walked quickly to Sun San's side, "Third brother, you have to thank your owner for me, I just used the nasal stove and prescription he sold to Xiaoyue twice, and my nose is much more comfortable." ”

"Brother Lu, your nose?"

"Oh, it's okay." The burly man waved his hand, "I sometimes feel suffocated and dizzy when I was working in the workshop, but my brother and I are in good health, and this little problem is like sneezing, in fact, you don't have to spend a silver dollar to treat it." It's just that Yue'er seems to have been hanging on to her heart, this girl has good intentions, and I don't want to accept it. When he said this, the distressed expression on the burly man's face could still be clearly seen.

"Okay, Fang'er, the third brother of the Sun family still has urgent matters, hurry up and let the family go." Old man Lu interrupted the two of them to reminisce.

"Huh? Well, I wanted to catch up with you again. Lu Fang said with some regret: "Third brother, you don't know, Yue'er is ......."

"Fang'er! Let's go and help your mother cook the firewood in the kitchen! The old man shouted loudly and blocked all the words that Lu Fang wanted to say.

"Daddy, the third brother finally came to ......." Lu Fang still wanted to defend himself, but he was glared at by the old man's eyes, and he had to retract his head.

"Third brother, a new restaurant has just opened in this area recently, and my brother will invite you to drink when I have time." After saying this, Lu Yi had to go into the house.

Sun San took his leave and left the courtyard.

"Old man, after all, they were all villagers in the past, and the third brother's father was still your friend before his death, even if you want to cut off the child's thoughts, you won't do it so desperately." An old woman with gray hair came out of the hut.

Old man Lu sighed and said, "You think I just want to do this, Sun San, this kid can be regarded as the two of us growing up, but after all, we still have to think about our daughter's future." In this world, it's not when my father and I were younger, how can there be a reason to find a job in the manor and workshop to support the family comfortably? Since Yue'er has the opportunity to jump over the dragon gate in front of her, how can we let that child be willful and throw away the good days in the future!? ”

The old lady was silent, and Old Man Lu continued: "You have also seen the eldest son of the Hu family, gentle and courteous, a talent, and he was accepted by the sect when he was twelve years old, not to mention that Master Hu only has one son. Our family is a poor family, and the daughter of a poor family can be favored by Hu Gongzi, and there is no one out of a thousand people. How rare this kind of opportunity is, the only obstacle is that Yue'er can't forget that Sun San, if Yue'er can forget that kid earlier and promise Hu Gongzi, then she will not have to worry about food and clothing in her life. ”

"Oh, that's it." The old lady no longer retorted, "I'm going to prepare lunch." ”

"By the way, don't forget to tell Fang'er a few words about that kid, so that he doesn't talk to Yue'er about that Sun San."

……

Sun San wandered like a puppet on the street, and he didn't know where to go for a while, and Old Man Lu's words of affection always echoed in his mind and lingered.

"Sun San, Sun San, you should have been prepared in your heart, what are you expecting." Sun San smiled bitterly in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but start to moisten.

The sand in the wind is so big......

"Oops! Don't you kid walk with long eyes! There was a muffled thud, and Sun San and a passer-by fell to the ground together.

Sun San finally came back to his senses, looked at the fat man who was knocked down by himself on the other side and stood up with a fierce face, and he hurriedly apologized to the other party.

The fat man looked like a ruffian, and he seemed to be a mixture of the Southern Wasteland and the Northlander, and the fat man didn't talk nonsense with Sun San, and stepped forward to pick him up from the ground.

"Hey, another person who doesn't have long eyes has offended the ruffian Zhang."

"I'm afraid this little brother is guilty."

The surrounding pedestrians whispered, and their sympathetic eyes invariably turned to Sun San, but none of them dared to come up to help.

"Count your little miscellaneous hair lucky today, Master Zhang, I am in a hurry to do something, take some medical expenses to me, and our family will not care." The ruffian Zhang looked at Sun San with a sneer, and his thick right hand clamped him like an iron tong.

"Big brother." Sun Sanqiang endured the severe pain in his body, "The money on the kid's body is for my owner, how can I go back to pay if I give it to you." ”

"I don't care how you deal with it! Say, where did the money go? The ruffian asked sharply, and regardless of Sun San's begging for mercy, he directly put his hand into Sun San's pocket.

At this moment, a loud shout sounded in the distance, "Ruffian Zhang!" What are you doing! ”

When the ruffian Zhang heard the voice, he was excited, he hurriedly threw Sun San on the ground, then turned around, and said with a flattering smile: "It turned out to be the head of the Qu sect, I haven't seen you for a long time, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”

Qu Changqing walked up to the ruffian Zhang and asked coldly, "Let me ask you, what are you doing here?" ”

The ruffian Zhang hurriedly put on a sad face and replied: "Qu Jiaotou, this has nothing to do with the little one, this little miscellaneous hair doesn't walk long, and my arm is still hurting after being hit by him." ”

"Even you, a thick-skinned rammer, can you still be hit by someone?" Qu Changqing sneered a few more times, he looked at a small building on the left, and then said, "Come to harass the lark girl again?" ”

The ruffian Zhang nodded at first, then hurriedly waved his hand, and replied with a sad face: "How dare you be small, although our family can be regarded as eating in the streets and alleys of Wangcheng, but a place like Wangyunlou can be entered if we want to." ”

"Then what are you doing here today?"

The ruffian Zhang said with some hesitation: "Didn't I hear that a few days ago, a girl who was a showman in Wangyun Tower was given that by a few Great Wei soldiers who came to drink flower wine, I ...... I'm a little worried about whether the lark girl will be implicated. ”

"People who can't even meet don't need you to worry." Qu Changqing snorted coldly, he stared at the ruffian for a moment, and shouted: "Don't think I don't know about the disgusting things you did before, although I don't work in the yamen now, but if I see you again, the head snake of the land, bullying the good, I will still be rude to you, get out!" ”

"Huh!" The ruffian Zhang fled into an alley by the side of the road as if he had been granted amnesty.

"Little brother, are you alright?" After driving away the ruffian Zhang, Qu Changqing gently helped Sun San, who was trembling, up from the ground.

"Thank you for this ......," Sun San suddenly thought of what the ruffian Zhang called Qu Changqing, "Thank you for this official!" ”

"Not an official." Qu Changqing waved his hand and said, "This ruffian Zhang is the head snake here, he has a greasy mouth in nature, and the leaders of several street gangs in the royal city actually call this guy brothers, if you see him when you go out in the future, it is better to walk around." ”

"The little one knows."

"Okay, let's leave quickly, and the provincial puffy will come back to you." After saying this, Qu Changqing turned around and left.
