The old tree bark couldn't help but raise his palm and waved it in front of Yang Ning's eyes.
Yang Ning could only remind me tactfully: "Old tree bark, I forgot some things. I am not blind, but I can still see my eyes... Can you help me recall the memories?"
The old tree bark smiled bitterly and said, "Half a year ago, you took Miss Xiaodie to wander into this city. You told me that you met each other during the refuge. She was bullied and you saved her once. From then on, you have depended on each other like brothers and sisters."
"Still half a year ago to Huize City?" Yang Ning narrowed his eyes slightly and said strangely. When the old tree bark mentioned this, some fragmented pictures were really seen in his mind, which was a little blurry, but the outline of a little girl still appeared, and even the appearance was quite clear.
"Then do you still remember what happened after you came to Huize City?" Lao Shupi couldn't help but worry when he saw Yang Ning's confused appearance.
Yang Ning wanted to think about it, but he didn't know if it was a serious illness. As soon as he moved his brain, the back of his head would swell and he felt drowsy.
"Where is Xiaodie now?" Yang Ning learned from the old bark that it was certainly because of Xiaodie, and the owner of this body was obviously closely related to Xiaodie.
Lao Shu Bark sighed and said helplessly: "You really can't remember it. She has been with Hua Mama. For the past six months, you have been to see her often. You told me about her."
"Mom Hua?" Yang Ningqi said: "Who is this Mom Hua?"
Before the old tree bark could answer, a monkey's voice came from behind: "Mom Hua is the widow of County Magistrate Hua. Hehe, in this city, few people dare to provoke her."
At this time, the monkey had already come in. A beggar behind him was carrying a broken wooden barrel, which contained water, and placed it next to Yang Ning.
Yang Ning rolled up his sleeves, feeling itchy and felt a little uncomfortable. He leaned over to the wooden barrel and was about to reach out to wash his face, but before his hands could be reached in, he was stunned.
Although he was mentally prepared, he was still a little surprised to see the face on the water.
It was a stained face, not cleaner than the others, but it could be seen that this face looked pretty, but at the age of fifteen or sixteen, his face was a little thin, but his sword eyebrows were raised from side to side, and he had a heroic spirit in his handsomeness.
He had thought that Monkey and others' Beatles' hairstyles were very unique, but at this time he also found that he also had a disheveled hair, which was very messy. At least from his appearance, he looked really a veritable beggar.
Yang Ning was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, then washed his face, hit the cold water on his face, and then woke up a little, then asked: "Is Xiaodie the widow of Hua County Magistrate? Is Xiaodie a maid at Hua County Magistrate's house?"
The old tree bark looked worried and said, "When Xiaodie left that night, she said that she would come to see you as long as she had the chance. But several days have passed, and there was no news about Xiaodie. That night, she sneaked out of the flower house. She didn't know if she had been discovered after she returned. It was really worrying."
"Xiaodie has saved me, so I naturally have to thank her." Yang Ning clearly had a grudge. Although he did not have a deep impression of Xiaodie, the girl was still very grateful when she saved her. "By the way, where is the house of that Hua County Magistrate? When the rain stops, I have to go to see Xiaodie."
The monkey said in surprise: "Don't you remember where the Huazhai is? But you often go there."
Yang Ning shook his head and asked, "Do you know?"
The monkey hurriedly said, "Mom Hua lives in the alley of Dead, and there are some roads away from here. When the rain stops, I will take you there, but... but we can't go during the day, and if we want to go, we can only sneak over at night."
"Dead Lane?" Yang Ning thought to himself that the name was gloomy, so it wouldn't be an alley where the dead people were doing business and trading coffins and paper money, right?
"Actually, that alley has no name, but Hua Ren is in that alley, and no one dares to go there." The monkey looked like he knew everything. "The loaches in the East City made a bet last year and broke into the alley in broad daylight. They were thrown out, and they were covered in bruises and several ribs were broken. They have not been able to get it right now." A hint of annoyance appeared in their eyes: "Since then, we have all called that alley a dead alley."
Yang Ning sneered: "Did it be made by the people from Huajuan?"
"Chief Hua County was a storied figure in Huize County before." Monkey said, "In that dead man's alley, he was the only family. He was not his family, so who else could there be?" Monkey said angrily: "But mother Hua's kind of marriage is a bit-to-spoken one, so she has to do things secretly, so naturally she won't let people get close to his house easily."
"Sorry marriage?" Yang Ning felt that the word was unfamiliar and asked, "What is this fragmentary marriage?"
"It's not something, it's shameful." The monkey smiled strangely. "The concubines of the noble family have the courage to take some work in private, or those widowed mothers and their orphan maids, whose livelihoods are difficult to maintain, come out to take on some work..., this is a piece of marriage."
Yang Ning was stunned for a moment, "What you meant to take on the job is..." But he already understood in his heart.
"As the saying goes, a wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a steal. Those who are slutty feel that being able to play with the families of wealthy officials is the best taste." The monkey said this topic, and his eyebrows were flying, and he smiled and said, "And those women are all trained by noble people. Whether in terms of appearance or temperament, they are three points better than ordinary brothel women. It is really good to know and be twitchy. Moreover, these little-to-small women are not real brothel women. The man who is shy and twitching is itchy." Speaking of this, the monkey's eyes are also bright.
Yang Ning sighed, not expecting that there was such a thing in the middle.
The monkey said again: "Mr. Hua was seriously ill at a young age and died two years ago. When Magistrate Hua lived, there were more than a dozen maids and servants in the family. When he died and had no investment, the family couldn't hold on. Mrs. Hua took her maid to secretly marry her...!" A wretched smile, "This county is not big, and Mrs. Hua is secretly doing it, but the wind is always coming out. Everyone knows what happened. They secretly call her mother Hua. The mother is over thirty years old. I heard that it is relying on the maids in the house to take care of the work...!"
When Yang Ning heard this, his heart suddenly sank, thinking that if Xiaodie was in such a family, wouldn’t it be a disaster?
It was midnight, and the wind and rain outside had no signs of stopping. Yang Ning felt a little tired. He knew that even if he was worried about Xiaodie, he would not be able to go out.
Everything can only be done after the rain stops.
After struggling for the middle of the night, the other people were also quite tired. Yang Ning signaled them to go and rest first. There are two sides of the main hall in this land temple. Yang Ning is now in the side room. Yang Ning and the old tree bark are left in the side room, while the others all went to the outer room to rest.
After Yang Ning lay down, he was thinking about his future prospects.
Yang Ning felt that the glorious profession of the Beggar Gang disciples was not suitable for himself. Since it has become a certain fact to come to this world, he could no longer change it. All he could do was adapt to life in this world.
What made him helpless was that this era was not any historical era in his memory, otherwise he could have predicted it first and achieved great success with the advantages of the prophet.
He traveled through time and felt that with the business practices he had accumulated, he might not be able to achieve great things in this era. However, he is now penniless. Even if he wants to do business, he does not have any start-up capital. He has no understanding of the current market conditions, so he will naturally not be able to embark on the way of doing business for a while.
After tossing and turning for a long time, I fell asleep in a daze. Perhaps it was because I was too tired after recovering from a serious illness, so I could sleep peacefully in the second half of the night.
The next day, I was woken up by the old tree bark in my sleep, and I realized that I had slept until noon. The wind and rain had already stopped. Yang Ning got up and went out. The air after the rain was filled with the smell of soil and grass, which penetrated into his nose, but it was refreshing. Yang Ning greedily took a few deep breaths of the air, and felt relieved all over his body.
He looked around and found that the land temple was remote and there were not many houses around him. There was a pond not far ahead.
There are a few old willow trees growing slanted beside the pond. The willow branches are exploring to the water surface, and thousands of willow branches are hanging lightly on the water surface. The breeze blows, and the willow branches are swaying, swaying like a beautiful woman dancing slowly.
"Where have those guys gone?" There were no traces of monkeys and others inside and outside the Land Temple. Yang Ning couldn't help asking about the old tree bark beside him.
Lao Shu Bark said, "I went out before and said that you were just recovering from a serious illness. You should go and ask for something to come back to celebrate."
Yang Ning smiled and said, "They still have such kindness?"
Lao Shu Bark thought Yang Ning saw through the thoughts of those people and said, "Little Diaoer, just know what they have to do. They asked you to be the leader of this land temple, but they would not have any kindness."
Yang Ning said it casually, but he didn't expect the old tree bark to say this. He only felt that something was wrong and asked, "Old tree bark, are they really having bad intentions?"
"Bad thought?" Lao Shu bark shook his head, "It's not a bad thought, but he has no good intentions. There are hundreds of disciples of the Beggars' Sect in this city. Although they are all affiliated with the Beggars' Sect, they often form gangs and sects in this city, and they are fighting around."
"Hundreds of people?" Yang Ning didn't expect that Huize City's Beggars' Sect was so strong.
Lao Shu Bark sighed: "Monkey is not a sedative person. In the past, you were so hiding it, but he liked to cause trouble outside. Now that you know that you are so powerful and recognize you as your boss, you want to use you as a flag so that you can fight with other brothers from the Beggars' Gang in the future. Diao'er, listen to me, there are people outside the heavens, even if you have the ability, don't be dragged into the water by monkeys and the others. It's better to be honest."
