After a while, Uncle Wu said again: "Apocalypse, don't worry, I don't know doesn't mean that other people in the town don't know either, so you can rest here first, and I'll accompany you around the town tomorrow to ask again." ”

"That's it, don't worry, I'll be with you tomorrow. Wen Ji also comforted.

Nian Tianqi smiled reluctantly: "Then it's troublesome for Uncle Wu and Wenwen." Well, I came back in a hurry this time, I didn't prepare anything, and seeing that the first month is coming, Uncle Wu, you can take it and buy some food and clothing for the family. ”

As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot and a tael from his arms and stuffed it into Uncle Wu's hand.

Uncle Wu just wanted to refuse, but he was stunned when he saw the silver in his hand, and Aunt Wu and Wen Ji were also stunned, only Grandma Wu sat on the main seat, knocking her pumpkin seeds in an orderly manner.

In small villages and towns in the countryside like Xizuo Town, most families can't earn two taels of silver a year, and Nian Tianqi is one or two pieces of silver as soon as he makes a move, which really scares Uncle Wu a little.

Uncle Wu reacted and quickly stood up, and said with a little stammering: "This... It's too much, we can't take it, we can't take it. ”

Wen Ji was calmer, "Apocalypse, where did you get so much money, have you made a fortune all these years?"

"Uncle Wu, you can accept it, Wenwen is right, I have indeed made a small fortune over the years, and besides, this money is my filial piety to my grandmother, you can't refuse. ”

On the second day, accompanied by the father and son of the Wu family, Nian Tianqi went to the uncle's house in the town, but unfortunately he didn't get any useful news at the end of the day, and the apocalypse was completely helpless.

Nian Tianqi stood alone in front of the door of his own courtyard, silently looking at this slightly dilapidated old house that was uninhabited all year round, and his heart was melancholy!

What should I do next?

Do you want to go back immediately?

Returning to his hometown after 100,000 miles, he didn't even know where his parents were?

How can I explain to God after I go back, even if I don't confess, I can't pass my own level.

So stay and continue to look for your parents, where to start, and how to find them?

Finding it by one person is like looking for a needle in a haystack!

After thinking about it again and again, Nian Tianqi still decided to stay first, that is, to go back to the house and wait for Xiaoxuan to successfully enlighten the spirit, before that, try all means, find it first.

But if this is the case, this old house can be repaired well, and you can't live in Uncle Wu's house all the time.

The next day, he told the Wu family father and son about his thoughts, and at the same time took out ten taels of silver to Uncle Wu, hoping that he would help buy materials and gather craftsmen.

The father and son of the Wu family were shocked by the apocalypse again, and ten taels of silver were in Xizuo Town, and the old house of the Nian family could be completely demolished and rebuilt.

Fortunately, in the cold winter, all the crops in the fields have been harvested, and everyone is idle at home.

Uncle Wu said hello, and it was a young man who wanted to renovate the old house, and he had wages to get, and the idlers in the town responded to come to help.

Tianqi and Wenhe went to the county to invite craftsmen and masters, transported materials, and within three days, the old house of Nianjia was already in full swing, the fence of the fence, the roof of the house, the bricks and tiles.

Apocalypse is also comfortable among the villagers, and he enjoys the simple folk customs of helping each other in his hometown.

On this day, everyone was busy, and three people came from outside the courtyard, and one of them shouted: "Chen San, Chen San, get out of the ...... for Lao Tzu."

"Hey, it's coming, it's coming. A sturdy young man in the courtyard who had just turned twenty promised to put down the guy in his hand and walked out.

When he passed by Tianqi's side, he said, "Boss, I'll come when I go." ”

Apocalypse nodded at Chen San.

Nian Tianqi naturally heard the shouting, raised his head and looked out of the courtyard, the person who came was not very old, maybe it was Chen San's friend, Tianqi said secretly.

When I turned back to work, I found that everyone didn't seem to welcome these three people, and there was a trace of anger on their faces, but they dared not speak out.

Chen San trotted out of the courtyard and stepped forward with a flattering face.

Listen carefully to the apocalypse.

"Master Lu, you are here, this month's small money has been collected, put it at home, go get it. ”

"Well, well done. However, the end of the year is approaching, and the helper has issued an order to double the money this month. ”

"Hey, good...... What? Flip it over, Master Lu, you're not kidding, are you? How is this possible?"

"This is an order from the gang leader, it's your business to collect it or not, you can send it to the gang yourself before the first month. ”

"Master Lu, you can help talk to the old man who helps him, where can I go to collect money in this Xizuo Town?"

"This is the death order of the gang leader, and I can't help it. You can tell them that if they don't, it won't end well when the helper comes in person. ”

A few people walked while talking, and it seemed that they were going to Chen San's house.

After a few people walked away, Nian Tianqi grabbed Wu Wenji and asked, "Who are these people?"

"Alas, this is the Black Tiger Gang in the city, and they have come to collect money. ”

"Money?"

"It's the protection fee, if you don't pay it, this group of people will make trouble in the town every day, and last year they killed Liu Laohan, who lived in the west of the town, alas!"

"Oh, the government doesn't care about this?"

"It would be nice if the government didn't go along with them. ”

"How do I pay for this example?"

"Each family is apportioned, those who are good in business pay five or six wen a month, those with poor family pay three or four wen a month, and they pay half a fee to the Black Tiger Gang every month. ”

"This Chen San is from the Black Tiger Gang?"

"It's not just him, but also me, Fang Zi, and Brother Kong. ”

"Huh?" Nian Tianqi looked at Wen Ji in confusion.

"Actually, we can't be regarded as the Black Tiger Gang, a few of us are just helping to collect money in the town, and sometimes we are in the middle to ease up, and the villagers suffer a big loss. ”

"Did the Black Tiger Gang give you any money?"

"Where will there be, it's just that Lu Ye sometimes throws us a few big sons when he's happy. ”

"Is this Black Tiger Gang very powerful? How many such gangs are there in this area?"

"There are only three gangs in Guanyuan County, the Black Tiger Gang, the Four Seas Gang, and the Jiuhe Gang, and the three gangs are not too much different. Well, in fact, I don't know much, and the third brother knows that there should be more. ”

"Hehe, let's get back to it, let's get to work first. ”

"Okay!"

Speaking of gangs, Nian Tianqi suddenly had a vague idea in his mind, looking for someone alone is like looking for a needle in a haystack with nowhere to start.

But what about a group of people?

There are many ways to want a group of people to help find someone together, but in the final analysis, there are only two kinds, money or power.

However, if this group of people is willing to help you find someone, and to find someone efficiently, you need to use some means.

Gangsters, in fact, is also a good way.

The renovation of the old house of Nianjia, the amount of work is not very large, Nian Tianqi is willing to spend money, and the villagers are willing to help, with the joint efforts of the big guys, on December 20, the old house of Nianjia was finally completed.

That night, Nian Tianqi sat in the main hall and sipped Wen Ji's home-brewed water and wine, looking at the new old house, and his heart was very happy.

It's just that although the old house is still the same, there is only one person left in the apocalypse.

Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio.

A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date.
