Chapter 5 The Tong Family Sisters and Brothers
Walking out of Liu's shop, he walked from the west gate to the north gate.
In Longgang City, Chen Qimo sold all the house funds, and there were only three hundred silver coins, which were now in his pocket.
That's why he came to Jinshui City, one is to bury his mother's ashes with his father, and the other is to wait for an opportunity to inquire about the whereabouts of his sister who has never met.
When Chen Qimo was three years old, Chen's father died in the beast tide outside Jinshui City and was buried at the foot of Qinglian Peak.
The only trace of memory about his sister is the memory image that remained in the mind of the original owner of this body when he crossed over.
The most memorable image is the scene where his sister disappeared: a black-robed man with a white skull on his sleeve grabbed his six-year-old sister Chen Qiyu and flew away.
Before leaving, this person glared at Chen Qimo fiercely, and the silent mental attack made the original owner of this body completely tragic.
Jinshui City is a big city, first, it is convenient to find out the news, and secondly, Chen Qimo heard that Jinshui City is also a place where the immortals of all the cities within a radius of tens of thousands of miles gather.
Young innate powerhouses are all here waiting for the arrival of immortal cultivators, looking forward to the opportunity to enter the immortal cultivation sect.
Chen Qimo only had three hundred silver coins in his pocket, and if he wanted to live in Jinshui City for a long time, he had to rent a house. Three hundred silver coins, saving some flowers, in addition to renting a house, it is basically enough for him to use it for a year and a half.
As for going out to hunt fierce beasts and fierce beasts now, digging medicinal herbs to make money, with his current strength that is not in the stream, he will go out of the city alone to die.
In Jinshui City, the law and order are quite good, the laws are strict, and no one dares to challenge the majesty of the city lord.
It's different outside the city, where there are many hunters who go to the wild forest, and killing to grab prey and property abounds, especially a single person who is the target of looting.
The north of the city is a poor area, and renting is relatively cheaper.
Chen Qimo went to the north of the city to find seven or eight brokers, but he couldn't find a suitable house. Feeling a little irritable, he suddenly stopped as he walked down an alley, turned to stare at the child following him.
"Uncle, I can help you find a house, the environment is quiet, the yard is big enough. When the little boy saw Chen Qimo's cold eyes, he was suddenly startled, and hurriedly poured out all the things that were about to speak, speaking quickly and urgently.
In fact, Chen Qimo had already discovered the little boy who was stalking, and he deliberately slowed down and waited for him just now.
"Really?"
"Seriously!"
When the little boy saw that Chen Qimo was interested, his heart was settled, his eyes rolled, and he smiled slyly: "But you have to give me some benefits." Not more, twenty silver coins will do. β
Chen Qimo turned around and was about to leave, but the child stopped him: "Uncle, don't be too picky." Twenty silver coins is much cheaper than other brokers. β
"Fifteen silver coins! I'll take you at once." β
"The deal will be given to you only when the deal is completed. β
"Good!"
The little boy looked surprised, his little face was full of smiles, and the two big tiger teeth were particularly conspicuous, obviously falling into hysteria.
Hehe, how can you not make a deal, that place is the old lady has the final say.
Looking at this person's heavy steps, heavy breathing, a non-mainstream martial artist, low strength, and his own safety is no problem, the probability of this transaction is very high.
Quack, my child pastor can finally make a lot of money.
"Where is it? How far is it?"
The child who was interrupted by Chen Qimo's hysterical thoughts, quickly wiped his saliva and responded: "The northwest corner, not far, not far, a meal will be there." β
"My name is Tong Mu. Uncle, what about you?"
Chen Qimo's face darkened, his body was only eighteen years old, and he was called uncle, this fart child really had no eyesight.
"Chen Qimo. β
Tong Mu jumped all the way in front, humming an unknown tune, and was in a happy mood. After walking for a quarter of an hour, I came to a small quiet courtyard.
There are five upper rooms, two east wings, and a kitchen to the west. The gray tile roof of the double slope is covered with snow and complements each other.
On the left side of the courtyard, there is a two-point vegetable garden, and there is no trace of green, but all snow.
There is a big jujube tree with a crooked neck on the edge of the vegetable garden, which is more than five feet high, with a diameter of three feet and a surplus, and its branches and stems cover more than half of the yard.
Under the tree, an old well.
The mouth of the well is two feet, and the cornice is stacked with stones into a neat hexagonal shape one foot high. The wheel of the water is set on it.
In the courtyard, the snow was swept away, revealing blue-gray stone slabs. The old well, the stone table, the rattan chair, the poetic and picturesque, simple and leisurely.
In the kitchen, green smoke curls up, and bursts of fragrance come to the nose.
Chen Qimo took a fancy to this place at a glance, but he didn't know what the owner was.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Tong Mu ran into the kitchen, and he didn't know what he said, and he came out after a while.
She was followed by a woman of about fifteen years of age.
The girl was emaciated, her face was sallow, and she wore a gray coarse cloth apron wrapped around her delicate body, like a willow in the autumn wind, weak and colorful.
A pair of big black and clear eyes, flashing with the light of wisdom, make the whole person a little more bright color out of thin air.
The girl's name is Tong Xiyan, her voice is like a yellow bird, crisp and tactful, and she has an excellent impression.
Chen Qimo paid the silver coins and successfully rented a house to move in, and the first room in the east wing became his house.
The room is simply furnished, with an old desk, a single bed, and a half-worn wardrobe. There was a white porcelain teapot with four cups on the desk, and the bedding on the bed was newly changed.
There are a few large-scale paintings pasted on the wall, which makes the room more warm and elegant.
After dinner, Chen Qimo returned to the house and gently opened the black package, revealing a black iron box.
He held the box in both hands, his eyes lost and he stood still, muttering to himself, lost in the memory of the past. After a long time, the box was gently placed on the table.
"Brother Chen, are you there?" Tong Xiyan shouted outside.
Chen Qimo opened the door, and before he could speak, Tong Xiyan smiled and said, "The hot water has been boiled, Brother Chen can go to the next door to take a bath." I just came today, I will help you boil the hot water, and if you want to take a hot bath in the future, you have to boil the water yourself. β
"Thank you, Miss Tong. β
Hearing that he could take a hot bath, Chen Qimo's heart moved.
From waking up to now, I haven't taken a shower for almost two months. I'm afraid that the owner here saw that he was covered with dirt, so he kindly reminded him.
Chen Qimo took a bath, cleaned up, changed into a clean single coat, and walked out in a fur coat.
The long hair is scattered at will, and the beard is messy, but this can no longer cover his handsome appearance, more than one meter and nine meters long, tall and straight, with handsome facial features and sharp edges and corners.
The temperament is calm, quiet and far-reaching.
Especially those dark eyes, deep and bright, like a sea of stars, exuding a convincing mysterious light.
"Brother Chenβyouβ"
Tong Xiyan was dumbfounded, is this person in front of him really the sloppy uncle?
Bang, the door opens.
Tong Mu jumped in, still holding a sugar gourd in his hand, and suddenly saw Chen Qimo in the courtyard, his expression was stunned, and he stared blankly.
"Mu Mu, why are you stunned! Brother Chen doesn't know each other anymore?" Tong Xiyan blinked her eyes wide, and pulled her brother's arm a little funny, completely forgetting that she herself looked like this.
"Uncle?!"
The child shepherd was taken aback. As it was getting dark, he stepped forward to take a closer look, only to realize that it was really the uncle he had brought back.
"It's not early, I'm going to rest. Feel free to do whatever you want. β
Seeing the Tong family sisters and brothers watching strangely, Chen Qimo was naturally unhappy, and turned his head and went back to the house.
He lay in bed thinking about the future.
Putting my mother's ashes into the ground is the top priority, and the second thing is to cultivate the inner family Xingyi Fist in the previous life to make myself strong as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to survive in this world.
From Jinshui City to Qinglian Peak, there are also more than 300 miles.
With his current ability, to go out into the wilderness is to give meat to the beasts to eat. If you want your mother's ashes to be buried in the ground, you can't do it right now.
