The house was dark, there were no lights, and the stars and moon twinkled in the sky, sprinkling a piece of light and bringing a view.

The dark and dreary house didn't look unusual, but Chen Tang vaguely felt that there were people in it under the induction of his breath.

"Woohoo!"

Suddenly, a dog barked, and there was a dog in the yard.

If there is a dog, there must be a human.

Chen Tang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he might be nervous. There are people in it, but it should be the lonely old man who is guarding here.

There was a babbling sound, the courtyard door opened, and an old man walked out with an oil lamp. His body is rickety, his hair is all white, and he is like an old man in his last years.

When he saw Chen Tang standing outside the door, he seemed taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Are you a son?"

Chen Tang looked at him and asked, "Do you know me?"

"Hehe, sure enough, Childe is back. ”

The old man laughed, his mouth full of sparse and folded faces.

Chen Tang asked, "You are the one Wang Fu is looking for...... Uncle Zhou?"

The old man hurriedly shook his head: "No, alas, Uncle Zhou has passed away." But before he died, he asked me to come and watch here. Probably because they think I'm lonely, let me have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. I forgot to mention that I am Uncle Zhou's neighbor and live in the alley, but the house is dilapidated, I have no children, no money, and I can't hire anyone to repair it. Luckily, I moved here and finally had a house to live in......"

Probably when people get old, they will become chatterbox, nagging, endlessly.

"Woohoo!"

An old dog stood beside him, barking at Chen Tang. To be precise, it should be barking at the rouge horse.

The horse demon glanced at it, too lazy to pay attention.

"Shut up, Ah Fu, this is Childe, you know no, you should shake your head and tail and welcome Childe home. Ahem, Childe, please come in. ”

Only then did he come to his senses, quickly get out of the way, and asked Chen Tang to get started.

Chen Tang led the horse in and asked casually, "What should you call the old man?"

"Don't dare to be, just call me Ah Fu. Oh, this old dog who has been with me for many years is also called Ah Fu. At this time, human life is cheap, not as good as a dog. ”

The old man sighed again as he spoke.

"Then I'll call you Fauber. ”

Fu Bo hurriedly said: "Childe, I am here to watch the door, and I live in the side room, and nothing has been touched in the master bedroom." Normally, I help clean up and tidy up. ”

Chen Tang said: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"This is my business, I remember the rules that Uncle Zhou has explained, and An An divides them. ”

Chen Tang smiled and said, "You don't have to be restrained, I'm coming back this time just to come and see." If you want, you will take care of this house in the future. ”

"Thank you, childe. ”

Fauber said happily, as if relieved. Then he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly asked: "Childe, have you eaten?" Do you want me to cook some porridge with rice, and then boil water to wash your body." ”

Chen Tang waved his hand: "Don't get it, you go back to the house and sleep." ”

As he spoke, he entered the inner room and came to his former bedroom. The beds are all there, the desks and cabinets are all in the same place, and the bedding and other things are still stacked inside.

On that day, Panzhou was in turmoil, and the war was burning, and indeed many families were greatly impacted. However, most of the people are basically fine and unharmed.

Hanmo Street is quiet, mainly selling pen, ink, calligraphy and painting, etc., these things cannot enter the eyes of soldiers. If they want to plunder, they will seek the rich and noble. Portals such as the Tao family and the Shunfu dart bureau bore the brunt of the storm and became fat on the chopping board.

After laying out the quilt, Chen Tang sat on the bed and started his daily homework.

The night was fine, and when he got up the next morning and went out of the room, he saw that Fauber standing in the courtyard with a respectful attitude. At his feet, a leprosy old dog lay lying there, looking listless, and not having the vigor of the previous night.

Chen Tang couldn't help but look at it twice.

Fu Bo hurriedly said: "Although Ah Fu is old, he is very loyal, and he is very useful in taking care of the family and the hospital." ”

This is like talking about himself, although he got Chen Tang's promise last night, but he is still worried that the master's family will change his hexagram, dislike the old age, and sweep him out of the house, then he and the dog will be homeless.

He does look old, he can see clearly during the day, and his face is spotted, and such an old man who is in his old age is very disgusted. In case you die in the house, not to mention bad luck, you have to pay for a burial. It is a large family, and it is impossible to hire people who are so old. Only old servants who have served from childhood to old age can be treated well and can die of old age.

"Very nice dog. ”

Chen Tang said casually, and then asked, "The money left by Steward Wang to you that day should have been almost spent." ”

Fauber replied, "Not much, indeed." ”

Chen Tang took out a money bag: "There is a little money here, for you to use as a family." ”

Fauber took it: "Thank you, Childe." ”

"Then you stay here, I'm out, and maybe, I'll be back tonight. ”

"Understood. Childe, I boiled some porridge with pickles. ”

"Just eat it yourself. ”

Chen Tang carried the sword box on his back, rode on the rouge horse, and left with dignity.

Fauber and the dog were sent outside the door, and it took a long time to turn back.

Walking out of Hanmo Street, Chen Tang went to find a noodle stall for breakfast. When on the road, find an opportunity to bring a Mowgli face.

The business of this stall is not bad, and there are several reckless men sitting in it, looking at their appearance, they are clearly armed and are people who walk the rivers and lakes. Chen Tang's arrival attracted their attention, and they all looked sideways and looked at each other. But after a few glances, I ignored it.

The fights and killings on the rivers and lakes are not for no reason. In the final analysis, there are still some conflicts of interest, and there will be a rush. Otherwise, who has nothing to do to hack and kill?

"Boss, a big bowl of lo mein, with eggs. ”

"Well, wait a minute. ”

Chen Tang sat near the corner, waiting for it, and heard those Jianghu men discussing something:

"Do you know? The West Wind Gang, the Blood Alliance, the Fellow Sect Society, etc., many of their good players have rushed to Panzhou. ”

A man spat and flew wildly, and the names of the gangs in the rivers and lakes were spoken, like a number of treasures.

"What's more, the two heroes of Yunshan, the old monster of White Horse Lake, the bandits of the Black Wind Forest, these big thieves have also appeared, and there is even news that money has reappeared in the rivers and lakes. ”

Hearing the word "money", the lively atmosphere of the stall was suddenly cold.

Jianghu, that is another vast and complex circle. For a long time, Chen Tang has not had much intersection with him. The most recent time, it was the Tiger Head Gang. However, the Tiger Head Gang does not have much name in the rivers and lakes, at best, it is a Panzhou head snake. At present, the world is in turmoil, the imperial court cares about one thing and the other, and its dominance has dropped greatly, and many rivers and lakes have risen and gradually grown.

After a while, someone asked in a low voice, "Why are so many masters coming to Panzhou?"

"You don't even know that?"

A man took a big mouthful of noodles: "There has been news that there is a strange treasure in Panzhou." They're here to grab the treasure, and we're here to join in the fun. ”

"Strange treasure?"

Chen Tang was stunned and groaned.

Since watching the national football team, I have been in poor health, so cherish life and stay away from ......
