Chapter 11: Hanging

"In broad daylight, what kind of system does it become?"

Chen Mu went straight to the two men of the Red Gold Gang and said in a deep voice to the two.

Although Chen Mu was not wearing a bad uniform at this time, the two of them knew Chen Mu, after all, there was only one bad man in the two alleys nearby, and the Chijin Gang had occupied this place for some days, so they were basically familiar with it.

"Brother Chen, it's natural to repay this debt, you can't help but let us collect the debt."

The two men laughed without smiling, but there was not much fear in their tones.

If you encounter a bad head, it will be completely different, but Chen Mu is just a low-level errand servant, and the relationship with them is that the well water does not violate the river water, and they nod to each other on weekdays and pass.

"How much do you owe?"

Chen Mu said lightly.

The two men glanced at each other, and one of them shrugged and said, "It's not much, it's only half a tael of silver." ”

"Okay, people put it down, you can go."

Chen Mu raised his hand and threw out a silver bean, about half a tael.

Seeing this, the two men were immediately surprised, but after looking at each other, they still picked up the silver beans, and said to Chen Mu: "Since Brother Chen spoke, then we naturally have to give face, and the people will leave it for you." ”

Although it was to pull Wang Laohan's granddaughter to sell it to others to get more money, but in the end, they were just low-level gangsters of the Chijin Gang, and they might not be able to get any benefits in the end when they clashed with Chen Mu.

They dare to bully the civilians in the alley casually, but the poor people are different after all.

said.

The two put down Wang Laohan's granddaughter, nodded at Chen Mu, and then turned around and left.

Chen Mu stood in place and watched this scene quietly, these two people were quite interesting, so he was not interested in studying further.

"Chen, Brother Chen......"

Wang Laohan's granddaughter stood in place, still with a crying face, completely at a loss.

Chen Mu waved his hand at her and said, "It's okay, go back." ”

The little girl stood there stupidly, and when she heard Chen Mu's words, she turned around a little stiffly, but she saw Wang Laohan, who had picked up the crutches again in the alley behind, limping over here with a cane.

"Grandpa......"

finally came back to his senses, threw himself into Wang Laohan's arms and cried.

Wang Laohan didn't care about comforting his granddaughter, but knelt on the ground at Chen Muyi with tears in his eyes, and said tremblingly: "Little ...... Xiao Chen, thank you so much this time......"

Chen Mu sighed in his heart, stepped forward to help Wang Laohan, and said, "Uncle Wang doesn't have to be like this. ”

Wang Laohan's hands trembled, took Chen Mu's hand, and then pulled his granddaughter's hand over, forced it into Chen Mu's hand, and said with tears: "I'm old, I'm lame again, I really can't support this granddaughter, Xiao Chen, if you don't have a fire to cook at home, just keep her, old man, I can only trust you now......"

The children are gone, the livelihood is gone, the work is gone, and he can't even eat, and he didn't even think about arranging a way back for Wang Ni, but those distant cousins are just jackals, and if they hand over their granddaughter to them, I'm afraid they don't know what the fate will be.

was already really desperate, but the scene just now gave him a glimmer of hope, although Chen Mu's life didn't seem to be rich, but he stopped the people of the Chijin Gang before, saved Wang Ni, and let her come back, and he didn't ask for anything with grace, after all, it was the heart of the people who saw him in times of crisis.

"This ......"

Chen Mu looked at Wang Laohan's appearance and suddenly hesitated.

To be honest, he didn't think about this before, if he wanted to put it in the past, he would probably flatly refuse, a sister has not been able to raise a sister, where can he have the ability to raise a little girl who is not a relative, but now, on the one hand, the money is not worried, on the other hand, it won't be long before he has the ability to move to a new house, and the family does need a maid and the like.

Chen Mu is not the kind of reserved person, the reason why he hesitates is that firstly, Wang Ni is a little too young, only about ten years old, and secondly, he does not know what kind of character Wang Ni is and whether she will cause any trouble.

Seeing Chen Mu's hesitation, Wang Laohan became more and more determined in his heart, after all, if Chen Mu had any other ideas, he could respond first, turn around and sell his granddaughter elsewhere, and he could make a lot of money, so there was no reason to hesitate.

"Xiao Chen, the old man knows the way of the world, life is not easy, the old man has no money, but the deed of the two old houses is still there, and it can still be worth a few taels of silver, and when the old man dies, it will all belong to you......"

Wang Laohan opened his mouth intermittently with tears in his eyes.

Some neighbors who were lying at the door listening to the movement nearby, couldn't help but be a little envious when they saw this scene, Wang Laohan didn't have a few years to live at this age, and when Wang Laohan died, not only could he get the house deed, but even his granddaughter had grown up, and then he turned around, which was all money.

I can't be jealous in addition to envy, after all, if I were them, I wouldn't be able to send away the people of the Chijin Gang, so I can only say that Chen Mu, a poor and poor person, was finally lucky this time.

"Not really."

Chen Mu saw that Wang Laohan had said this, and after thinking about it, he still made a decision, since he had already helped, he would help to the end.

It doesn't matter if you want Chen Yue to be a sister or a maid, in short, it's to give her a companion, and you don't need to be a mother-in-law for this kind of thing.

"No, no...... Yes, yes. ”

Wang Laohan trembled and put Wang Ni's little hand into Chen Mu's hand, and then staggered back with a cane.

Chen Mu thought about it, and didn't say much, he wouldn't covet the two old houses of Wang Laohan's family, just keep it for Wang Ni in the future, there will be a lot of changes in the future, and he will talk about the future in the future.

Wang Ni has been standing there tremblingly, she has stopped sobbing at this time, her tears are gradually drying, but she didn't say anything to Wang Laohan's previous words, she is still too young at this age, she is all at the mercy of Wang Laohan, and her little hand was stuffed into Chen Mu's hand by Wang Laohan, and she didn't even dare to pull it back.

"Yue'er, how about you live with Sister Nier in the future?"

Chen Mu let go of Wang Ni's hand, turned his head to look at Chen Yue, who was looking through the gap in the middle of the door at some point.

Chen Yue blinked, looked at Wang Ni, and said, "Okay, my brother is in charge." ”

"Hmm."

Chen Mu nodded, looked at Wang Ni, whose mood had stabilized a lot, and said gently, "Where is Sister Nier?" ”

He hadn't actually seen Wang Ni, and going to Wang Laohan's house for dinner was before he came to this world, when Wang Ni was younger, only six or seven years old, but he still remembered him.

"I ...... I listened to my grandfather's ......"

Wang Ni lowered her head and whispered.

Chen Yue behind the door heard this answer, showing a smile that no one noticed, if Wang Ni replied 'listen to my brother', then there would be more attention to this little sister, now this is very good.

Chen Mu also nodded slightly at this answer, it is not child's play to take in a person, although he is still young, he has no scheming, that is the best, and it is also suitable for Chen Yue to be a companion.

Stood at the door and waited for a while.

But he waited left and right, and he didn't see the figure of Wang Laohan.

Gradually, Chen Mu noticed that something was wrong, his face suddenly changed slightly, he immediately walked to Wang Laohan's house, and came to the door of Wang Laohan's house, the door was hidden, and when he pushed it open, he saw a pair of legs hanging in the air, the bare ankle of one of the legs was dry and purple, and there was a yellow house deed on the shabby chair next to him.

Chen Mudun froze in place, looked up and looked up, with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Grandpa!!"

Wang Ni's mournful voice came from behind.

The little girl threw herself into the house, hugged Wang Laohan's hanging leg tightly and cried heartbreakingly.

Wang Laohan is dead.

"Why bother."

Chen Mu sighed in his heart.

Maybe he didn't want to think about it before, Wang Laohan really couldn't live, his children were gone, he had no livelihood and no source, and he was lame, but he didn't expect Wang Laohan to be so decisive.

Perhaps because he was afraid that he would not be willing to take Wang Ni in, he died like this and handed over the deed to him.

Maybe he was too selfish, if he said a few more words and took out some money to give Wang Laohan, Wang Laohan would not die...... After all, the three years since he came to this world have completely changed him.

Chen Mu patted Wang Ni's shoulder, with an apologetic look in his eyes: "It's that I didn't expect Uncle Wang to think about it, if only I came over earlier." ”

Wang Ni didn't speak, just kept crying.

After crying for a long time, she wiped her red eyes and said, "No, it's not Brother Mu's fault, Brother Mu saved Nier, Brother Mu is a good person......"

Good guys?

Perhaps.

Chen Mu shook his head, touched Wang Ni's little head, and then stepped forward and put down Wang Laohan's body.

Wang Laohan's funeral is extremely simple, just a straw mat, and then sent to the outside of the city, he found a place to bury, the only difference compared to the mass grave is that it will not be eaten by wild wolves, and there is a small handful of grave soil, and you can recognize the place when you go to the grave in the future.

Wang Ni didn't cry anymore after Wang Laohan was wrapped in a straw mat, but her eyes were always red, and she listened to Chen Mu for everything after that, including the silent funeral, and letting her stay with Chen Yue and not follow her out of the city, etc.

In fact

The people of this world are very bearable.

Even a ten-year-old child has only accepted the fact that his parents and grandfather have left in just half a day.

After all, ordinary people can live to be fifty years old is a joy and mourning, Wang Laohan lived nine times out of fifty, and he can be regarded as an advanced age in several nearby alleys.

at home.

"Alright, don't feel bad, Sister Nier, you'll have to sleep with me in the future."

Chen Yue sat on the edge of the bed, observing Wang Ni with a pair of big eyes.

Wang Ni nodded slightly.

Chen Yue smiled slightly and said, "But you have to remember a few things, I will tell you, the first is not to make trouble for my brother, whatever my brother says, listen to me when my brother is not there." ”

"The second is not to ask about anything, and if you see something strange, you should treat it as if you didn't see it, as long as your brother doesn't say it, don't ask and don't care, did you hear it? Otherwise, I'll be angry. ”

When it came to the last sentence, Chen Yue was still smiling, revealing two small tiger teeth, but it was inexplicably a little scary.

"Yue, Sister Yue......"

Wang Ni was a little frightened and trembled slightly.

But Chen Yue immediately hugged her, touched her head and said softly: "Okay, don't be afraid, sister just say it first, as long as you listen to your sister, it's fine, my brother is very hard, we can't make trouble for my brother, my brother is also very powerful, I will live a good life with my brother in the future." ”

"Hmm."

Wang Ni's nose was sour, she didn't know what she thought, and shed a few tears.

Chen Mu did not know what happened at home.

After he disposed of Wang Laohan's corpse, he continued to patrol the city guard division.
