Chapter 2: Monsters

Breathing in the cold air, the coldness penetrated through the heart, and I couldn't help but shiver. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The young man in the green shirt tightened his upper body, but it was not enough to resist the cold air of the harsh winter night, and he was tired for a whole day, but his body was not very tired, but because he didn't eat dinner, he felt quite uncomfortable even with excellent physical fitness under the pressure of hunger and cold.

Sitting down against the wall of the firewood room, looking at the starry sky on the horizon, the young man in green shirt looked up in a daze.

Putting down the work at hand, being able to be free, recalling the bits and pieces of the past, for a long time, it was possible to find the real reason why the young man in brown was planning to make things difficult for him from the fragments in the depths of his memory, and now I think about it is really a long time ago......

With a sigh, the young man in the green shirt gently covered his left eye covered by his hair with his hand, "Hehe-" laughed bitterly.

The young man in green shirt has lived in Fenghua Town since he was a child, so almost all the residents in the town know him, except for the famous big family in the town - the Yan family, everyone regards him as a monster, if it is not for the maintenance of the Yan family, the young man in green shirt is likely to become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats.

But the world is changeable, the nameless fire burned the Yan family to ruins overnight, from the old man to the child, no one survived, when the people of the town rushed to the scene, only to find the young man in green shirt sitting in the middle of the ruins, his eyes were blank, muttering to himself, I don't know what he was muttering.

Since then, everyone in the town has avoided him, and the young man in the green shirt has upgraded from a monster to a disaster star in the mouth of the townspeople, and it is rumored that as long as he is a little kinder, he will definitely summon disaster to his family.

Since the accident of the Yan family, that large piece of land has been "occupied" by the young man in green shirts, and it has been abandoned for more than a year, a businessman passed through this town, and decided to open an inn here, looking all over the town, only the waste land where the Yan family was located before was very suitable.

The merchant was also bold, and learned from the townspeople about the cause and effect, and knew that this large area of land was only inhabited by a young man, and despite the dissuasion of the townspeople, he stooped down to Yan's house to find the young man in green shirts.

"You're not afraid of me?" asked the young man in a green shirt without looking up, sitting on the stone bricks of the ruins, and muffled.

In the past year, this is the first human he has seen who has taken the initiative to come in, could it be that he is not a local?

I've thought about a lot of opening dialogues between the two, what do you have to say first when you go in, but the boy in front of you, who is as old as your own child, will be the first to speak.

Hearing this, the merchant was happy in his heart, and asked with a smile: "I see that you are just an ordinary person, and you are not a bloody mouth, why should I be afraid of you?"

At this time, the young man in the green shirt was almost certain that the man in front of him was definitely not a resident of Fenghua Town, so he turned his face sideways noncommittally, turned the left half of his face to the shadows, and said lightly with an expressionless face: "If you have anything, just tell me." ”

The merchant was quite surprised to get to the point so quickly, so he had to point his finger around, and said calmly: "I want to build an inn here, I heard that you are half the owner of this land, so I have come to ......."

"Impossible, don't even think about it!"

A loud roar exploded in his ears, interrupting what the merchant was about to say.

The young man in the green shirt stood up suddenly, the top of his head only reached the chin of the merchant, and his white face caused by his unreasonable eating habits for a long time turned red at this moment, and the indignation was written all over his face, his chest fell together, he gasped for breath, and his body trembled slightly with excitement.

I didn't expect that I couldn't say two words, and it caused such a big reaction from the young man in front of me, and I was stunned for a moment, and when I came to my senses, I asked in surprise: "Why not?"

"This is the Yan family. The young man in the green shirt said categorically.

After a year, do you still remember the kindness of the Yan family? The businessman's eyes when he looked at the young man suddenly became different, sorted out his words, and said slowly: "But as far as I know, you are not from the Yan family, your surname is inexplicable, you are an orphan, what I said is right?"

"So what?" Mo Xiaoxie smiled coldly, "Although I don't have the surname Yan, I still have the right to call the shots on the Yan family's land, and if I don't give it, no one will want to take it away from me." ”

The tough tone did not annoy the businessman, pacing in the dilapidated courtyard, looking around at the grass and trees, as if it could see how prosperous the Yan family was back then, with his hands behind his back, as if he said to himself: "It has been more than a year since the accident of the Yan family, and now this place is still full of broken walls, chaos and depression." ”

Mo Xiaoxie looked at the businessman in front of him strangely, looking left and right about his businessman, not knowing what the other party had in mind.

Suddenly stopped, the merchant stared at Mo Xiaoxie, and asked sternly with a straight face: "I know that you value love and righteousness, and you also look at you differently, but I want to ask you, do you want to keep this huge courtyard in such a dilapidated state?"

These words were like a heavy hammer hitting Mo Xiaoxie's heart, causing him to shake all over, bow his head, and remain silent.

"You're a clever lobbyist. Mo Xiaoye looked at the businessman, "Hehe-he-" smiled miserably, his face was fair.

The merchant stood aside, smiled slightly, and did not speak, waiting for the thoughtful answer of the young man in front of him.

After a long time, a slightly decadent voice came softly, obviously making a strong ideological struggle, and its voice was weak, "I can allow you to build an inn here, but I have one condition. ”

Mo Xiaoxie raised a finger as he spoke.

"Please. The merchant made a gesture of please, and in his mind that the young man was asking for nothing more than money, and the only thing he lacked was money.

Pursing his dry lips, Mo Xiaoxie raised his head and looked at the businessman who was more than a head taller than him, and said, "When your inn opens, you hire me as a partner, and I still have to live here." ”

The merchant opened his eyes wide, looked at the young man in front of him again in astonishment, and asked in a somewhat incredulous tone, "Only like this?"

"That's the only way. Mo Xiaoxie nodded firmly.

"You know, even if you ask for a large sum of money enough to live for the rest of your life, I won't refuse. The merchant asked tentatively, twinkling incredulously.

"Money, what's the use of me asking for that thing?" Mo Xiaoxiao shook his head with a smile, waiting for the other party's reply.

"In that case. The merchant touched the beard on his chin that was not very long, and said with a smile: "Then congratulations, Mo Xiaoxie, you will be the first buddy of the "Hongyu Inn". ”

"A high-five. ”

"Okay, high-five. The merchant was stunned and replied with a deep smile.

"Smack-"

A crisp sound echoed in the courtyard, and it was extremely clear.

The young man in brown is named Jiang Rong, he came a year after the inn opened, when he was just a young man who had not yet reached the crown and was not deeply involved in the world, the first meeting gave people the feeling that it was not very difficult to get along with, although it was the son and nephew of the innkeeper, but he usually did not hold the shelf to eat lazy to do, pointing fingers, the diligence of the work made many inn guys ashamed, when he was mentioned, the vast majority of people were full of praise, sincerely expressed their admiration, but because of an accident, changed his concept of life.

In addition to the shopkeeper who is the boss's cronies, most of the guys hired are townspeople from Fenghua Town, whether it is hearsay or a warning from parents, in short, it can be summed up in one sentence, you can do things in Hongyu Inn, but you must stay away from Mo Xiaoxie.

Therefore, Mo Xiaoxie did not feel satisfied with his work in the inn, even if it was not obvious to show it, he was often ostracized by everyone unintentionally, such as those heavy physical tasks such as chopping wood and carrying water were all handed over to him to do alone, thanks to his gifts, Mo Xiaoxie's body was also stronger and stronger than his peers, several times stronger.

The innkeeper's attitude was very different from that when he high-fived Mo Xiaoxie at that time, since the inn opened, he never asked Mo Xiaoxie about his daily life, and even the other guys bullied Mo Xiaoxie, he ignored it, as if he completely forgot that there was such a teenager in his inn, a half-grown boy who was moved by his words and handed over this large piece of land to him on only one condition.

Jiang Rong just came to Fenghua Town, naturally he didn't know the mystery, he didn't ask, and others wouldn't mention it for no reason, with the doubts and incomprehension in his heart, until one day he didn't know what the reason was.

That day, Mo Xiaoxie walked to the firewood room with the bundled firewood on his back as always, maybe the firewood he was carrying was too heavy this time, or it was possible that the rope was not strong, and he didn't wait to reach his destination, but he only heard a loud "bang-" sound, the rope broke, and the firewood fell to the ground, rolling everywhere.

The surrounding inn guys were first attracted by the loud noise, and looked at them suspiciously, and when they found Mo Xiaoxie, who was squatting on the ground to pick up firewood, they all turned their heads, as if they didn't see it, they were busy with their own things, and no one came to help.

Jiang Rong saw everyone's indifferent behavior in his eyes, felt a flame burning in his chest, put down the tableware he was about to take to the kitchen to wash, "brush-" walked to Mo Xiaoxie's side in a few steps, and bent down to help pick up firewood.

"Hey, I said you were too careless, you actually ...... It turned out to be ......"

Bending down to pick up firewood, the hair that originally covered his left eye hung down uncontrollably, and he was just seen by Jiang Rong, who was smiling and trying to talk.

It's like a classic in the drama - changing faces, the face that was smiling a moment ago was instantly replaced by horror, the eyes were round, the mouth was big, as if he had seen a flood beast, even the words stumbled, couldn't speak, took a few steps back, didn't pay attention to the firewood scattered on the ground, stepped on it and slipped it, his butt fell hard on the ground, and a large piece of wet between his legs was extremely embarrassed.

Awakened by the coolness between his strands and the laughter around him, Jiang Rongchang blushed, mixed with shame and anger, looked around, remembered all the people who had laughed at him today, turned around and left, and glared at Mo Xiaoxie with a calm face with a slightly frightened gaze before leaving.

He hated the onlookers who showed their ugly faces at this moment, and he hated the culprit who caused him to look foreign.

In the future, Jiang Rong became a bully, arrogant, and domineering, taking advantage of his kinship as the boss, plus these days of conscientious work, it is easy to mix up a position of steward, those who once laughed at him, either because they couldn't stand his troubles and took the initiative to resign, or they were dismissed by him for some far-fetched reasons. Mo Xiaoxie, who does not enter the oil and salt, is an exception, no matter what way Jiang Rong bullies Mo Xiaoxie, Mo Xiaoxie is like an iron heart, he just doesn't leave, there is a conditional oath back then, and it is impossible to dismiss, and now Jiang Rong feels that he is a little poor in donkey skills, and he doesn't know what other way to get rid of this "monster".

His thoughts turned, the bright moon hung high in the sky, but Mo Xiaoxie's heart was more lonely than the lonely moon.

Looking at the dark sky, he sighed: "It's not that I don't leave, it's actually that this is the only place I care about, and I have nowhere to go when I leave here." ”

He is not stupid, how could he not see Jiang Rong's true purpose, Jiang Rong's hundred bullies are nothing more than trying to make him retreat and take the initiative to resign from this job.

"So you're hiding here alone, but luckily you haven't slept yet, so you saved me a lot of effort. ”

The beautiful female voice suddenly reached her ears, and in this dark night when she couldn't see her fingers, she instantly shocked Mo Xiaoxie's hairs standing on end, and his nerves were tense.

His eyes were staring at the farther and flickering light at the source of the sound, getting closer and closer.
