At night, when Yi Chen returned to the Red Dust Inn, it was already the fourth watch.

The sky is not beautiful, when the line is halfway down, it rains heavily, lightning and thunder, fortunately, Yi Chen's pure yang inner qi is incomparable, and it is shocked at will, and the rain cannot be added at all, and it is evaporated before it falls.

Just as Yi Chen was about to rest, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Yi Chen opened the door and saw that it was Boss Shen, the big shopkeeper of the Hongchen Inn, standing outside the door.

During the day, he had a relationship with this shopkeeper, so he knew it.

He put forward the hope that Yi Chen could live in his inn during his time in Longjiang Mansion, not only free of board and lodging, but also willing to give Yi Chen two hundred taels of silver as Cheng Yi.

These words directly amused Yi Chen.

This is treating him as a second fool.

He was noncommittal at the moment, and sent him away under the pretext that he was going to rest.

Next, it depends on the understanding of the shopkeeper tomorrow, otherwise he will have to change to an inn tomorrow to rest.

There was no word all night, and Yi Chen fell asleep.

…

…

…

Under the same night sky, South City, Black Rock Fang.

No big city can escape a strange circle, in the shadow of the city, there is a small slum.

Many people live like rats in this majestic city.

They are the indispensable foundation of the city and the fuel for the prosperity of the city.

After all, without them, you can't let the old man do the work himself.

When people are full, they are less inclined to move.

Therefore, maintaining a significant proportion of the poor is a common problem in all large cities.

Heishifang is a relatively explosive existence in the slums of Nancheng in Longjiang Prefecture.

Li Xiucai is an old resident of Blackstone Fang.

Although his ancestors are not high-ranking officials, they are at least enough to be able to reach generations of cattle and horses.

Although his family is not rich, it can at least be called insolvent.

There are three generations of a family, and the main focus is poverty.

In fact, their family was not so poor before, when he was a child, their family did not live in Blackstone, but lived in another market that was slightly better than Blackstone, and had their own small home.

Though it is broken, it is warm.

It is Li Xiucai's father, Li Dana.

Not willing to suffer the fate of the family has been poor, he first started a business before half of the capital chain was broken, and in the second half of his life, he felt the lack of knowledge and suffered the loss of no culture, so he sold the last family wealth and replaced it with the Black Stone Fang.

He used all the money he earned to provide for Li Xiucai to go to private school.

This is the best private school they can get.

Sure enough, knowledge changes fate.

From then on, they were the residents of Blackstone Place.

After he came out of Xiucai, he still couldn't find a good job, so he could only rely on his son to inherit his father's business and sell wonton noodles in Tongqian Lane to make a living.

When he was in private school, he was the best in their class, but it didn't work much.

He still has the same surname as a person named Li Gouyu, who can't memorize all the three-character scriptures, and the arithmetic is even more like a dog shaking his head, and recently I heard that he has been hired to guard the city gate.

That's a super fat difference.

Maybe that's the inheritance.

The dragon gives birth to the dragon, the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, and the son of wonton noodles sells wonton noodles.

Every rainy day, it is the time when Li Xiucai is most worried

It was raining heavily, and it was raining lightly inside the house.

After moving out all the containers that could hold water in the house, Li Xiucai shrank back to a corner of the small room, curled up and lay down, tightening the thin quilt full of musty smell on his body, and shivering.

He was not a bold man, and he had heard that there was a lot of evil in the city right now, but there was nothing he could do.

You can't run.

Not to mention the issue of financial livelihood, just talk about one aspect of security, and the answer can be obtained by thinking about it casually with his mind when he was admitted to Xiucai.

Longjiang Mansion is already a famous big city.

If you run again, where can you run, but I am afraid that I will die in the hands of various accidents just after I leave the city.

Alas, the days are like this, what else can I do, live together, light the lamp and boil the oil.

Li Xiucai sighed inwardly and was about to squint.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, illuminating his leaky home on all sides.

He groped his way on the bed and sat up, his body shaking even more.

At this moment, his mind began to think wildly.

The first thunder sounded, and he remembered his grandmother, who had been dead for many years.

The second explosion thundered, and he thought of the fragrant boiled pork slices he had eaten during the Chinese New Year before.

The third thunder sounded, and he remembered the small home that did not leak rain in his memory, broken, but warm.

The fourth thunder sounded, and he thought of the families who had died in the city the other night.

The wind suddenly began to whimper, and the temperature dropped strangely lower.

Li Xiucai became even more frightened in his heart.

He felt something follow the wind and rain into his room.

Click!

Another bolt of lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating the furnishings of his house.

Through the bright light, Li Xiucai secretly glanced at it.

It's okay, it's business as usual.

It's still so poor, the house is so clean that even the rats don't bother to come, and there are not many strange things.

He patted his chest in reassurance.

At that moment, there was a sudden humming sound on the bed.

"Xianggong, I'm so scared~"

A pair of jade hands appeared from behind him, encircling Li Xiucai's chest.

With the light of lightning, Li Xiucai saw the pair of jade hands that surrounded him.

He cried and said with a sad face: "Lady, I'm so scared~"

"If I'm not mistaken, I'm the only one left in the family, and I didn't marry a wife~"

Suddenly, the room was swallowed up in darkness.

…

…

The next day, the sun rose as usual.

The sun shines all over the land.

Although the evil corpse incident at the Red Dust Inn caused a lot of turmoil last night, it was nothing compared to the huge Longjiang Mansion.

Under the control of the government, it is like throwing a pebble into a huge lake, the ripple in the center may be larger, but the further back, the less the movement, and finally it tends to be calm.

Of course, as an ordinary person, there is no way to be calm.

They only have two options.

Either moisten or stay.

However, judging from the current situation, there is still a town security division in the city to maintain order, and outside the city is a dark forest.

Therefore, the residents of Longjiang Province said that they were in a stable mood and did not flee in panic.....

Yi Chen pushed open the door, bumped into the early morning sun, and walked out of the room, all the passengers he met on the way, including the shopkeeper, nodded and greeted him in a friendly manner, and he also nodded reservedly.

It's neither too intimate nor too distant, and it's just right.

As soon as he got downstairs, the shopkeeper Shen walked over with a smile on his face, with seven or eight good dishes in front of him, a pot of good wine, and a box in his hand, obviously prepared.
