"An Lin, I don't have much interest. I just want to have a meal and chat with you."
Xu Jinnian smiled kindly, and Su Anlin understood.
His abilities were recognized.
So I want to win over him.
This is normal. For example, Wang Yan, a genius in the martial arts school, has been attracted by people from major families in the city.
He is not famous yet, but Xu Jinnian knows his value from Zhang Zian.
The other party was so sincere, Su Anlin thought about many ways to make friends, and immediately clasped his fists: "Thank you, senior brother, then I will go home and change clothes."
"Let's go together. Let's go to your house and find the way."
Just as he was talking, he saw Wang Yan not far away carrying a small cloth bag and walking out happily.
‘Isn’t this the pastry I gave to Cheng Shasha?’
Looking at the small cloth bag in Wang Yan's hand, Su Anlin muttered.
After leaving the martial arts gym, Su Anlin took Xu Jinnian home.
When Su Anlin opened the door, he was stunned.
Has the house been robbed? All the flowers and plants in the two yards have been shoveled away.
Fortunately, after seeing her sister, Su Anlin knew what happened.
My sister actually took his knife and pulled out all the flowers and plants.
On one of the fields, she has planted some green leafy vegetables and some green onions.
"Brother, you are back so early." Su Yuyu wiped the sweat from her forehead with a smile.
Su Anlin's mouth twitched: "Sister, what are you..."
"These flowers and plants seemed to be in the way, so I thought that this land should not be wasted, so I went out and bought some vegetable seedlings."
Su Yuyu walked to the woodshed excitedly: "By the way, I also bought two chickens and ducks here. When they grow up, our family will be able to eat eggs every day like Uncle Li and the others."
As expected, the children of the poor become the masters early.
"Brother Su's sister is so sensible." Xu Jinnian's eyes lit up when he saw Su Yuyu.
Su Yuyu saw Xu Jinnian and quickly went into the house to pour tea.
"Sister, don't bother, your brother and I will leave soon." Xu Jinnian said happily: "Brother Su, I really envy you, you have such a lovely sister, unlike me, we are all sisters, eh..."
Su Anlin smiled and said, "I heard that you have many sisters, senior brother."
"Yes, thirteen."
Su Anlin was speechless secretly. After chatting for a few words, Su Anlin changed into clean clothes and walked out.
"Sister, I'll go out for a while and you can eat by yourself." Su Anlin warned.
"Oh, okay, come back soon."
Su Anlin walked towards the door and saw a fat woman coming in. After seeing Su Anlin, she was stunned for a moment.
"Is something wrong?" Su Anlin is tall and tall, a head and a half taller than the fat woman.
The fat woman sneered: "Passing by."
Xu Jinnian narrowed his eyes and patted his palms with the folding fan in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.
"Fat Aunt." Su Yuyu saw the fat woman and walked out quickly: "Brother, this is the fat aunt who lives nearby."
"Oh, is something wrong?" Su Anlin stared at the fat woman and asked.
"Well, I told Yuyu today that we went to touch snails. There were a lot, so I gave her some. You are Brother Yuyu, you are so handsome."
"Thank you, we don't like to eat snails, so don't bother sending them," Su Anlin said.
"That's okay."
Fat woman go away.
Xu Jinnian looked at the fat woman's back and walked to the door again.
Sure enough, I found an x mark on the wall at the door.
His face suddenly turned cold.
"Senior brother, have you seen this mark?" Su Anlin looked at Xu Jinnian's expression and felt something in his heart.
After all, Xu Jinnian was a local and a noble son, and he had interacted with people from all walks of life.
"I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it, you know about the Beggar Clan, right?"
Su Anlin nodded: "I've heard a little bit that there are beggars on my street."
"Well, I heard that the beggar gang sells people for their lives. The women are sold to brothels, and the unattractive ones are sent to the countryside to give birth to babies. The children are then sold after they are born. The boys have their hands and feet broken and beg for food."
Xu Jinnian pointed to a child kneeling on the ground in the alley ahead.
This child has been kneeling there begging for food all year round. One of his hands is deformed and folded behind his back.
"That child's hand was broken by someone."
Xu Jinnian said: "I heard my father say that if the beggar gang is targeting someone, just draw a mark like this on the door of his house. If the beggar gang passes by your house, they will stare at it."
Su Anlin's face suddenly turned cold: "Brother, my family is being targeted."
"It should be your sister, the fat woman just now. I know her elder brother, who is from a small gang. He is very close to the Beggar Clan. I heard that he helps the Beggar Clan abduct people."
"Thank you, senior brother, for informing me."
When Su Anlin heard this, he immediately felt uneasy: "I'm not going to eat. If I leave, I'm afraid something will happen to my sister."
Xu Jinnian smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? Ask your sister to come with you. I just wanted to say, take your sister with you. I was afraid that you would misunderstand my intentions, so I didn't mention it."
"That's good, but senior brother, my sister is here, so it's better to go to a more formal place."
"So you want to go to an irregular place."
Su Anlin: "..."
For a moment, Su Anlin led Su Yuyu and walked with Xu Jinnian.
Xu Jinnian told Su Yuyu about the beggar gang. Su Yuyu was surprised:
"I'm just telling you, why is my fat aunt so nice? She really has bad intentions. Before, she always asked about my family situation and asked when my brother would be back. I deliberately said that he would be back soon."
Xu Jinnian smiled and said: "Junior brother, I like your sister more and more, she is shrewd."
Entering a restaurant, the restaurant is called Sanpinxiang. It is a decent place, neither luxurious nor shabby.
"Junior brother, would you like some wine?" Xu Jinnian looked at Su Yuyu again: "Yuyu, please order some rice wine. This one is light."
Su Yuyu blushed and waved her hands repeatedly: "I can't drink."
As she spoke, she looked around with her little eyes, secretly speechless.
This is the first time I have eaten in a restaurant since I have grown up.
The dishes on the table next to it are so exquisite, I have never smelled such a fragrance.
All the people who come here must be rich.
She was afraid that others would laugh at her, so she didn't dare to look at her. She drank from the teacup in front of her, but the water in the teacup had already been drained.
Su Anlin also refused: "For us martial arts practitioners, alcohol is a poison that penetrates the intestines and should not be drunk."
"You, you are indeed different from others. No wonder you learn martial arts quickly. Like Wang Yan, he is arrogant even if he has some talent." Xu Jinnian poured himself tea and continued: "I am different. Anyway, I learn martial arts.
It's also for fun, because my father said that if you don't learn martial arts, you will inherit the family business. I thought about it and found that I have more time to learn martial arts and play."
Su Anlin was surprised and glanced at the health bar above his head, which was only 55.
"I can't help it. My family is poor. If I don't work hard, my life will not be settled."
Xu Jinnian nodded to express his understanding: "Okay, let's drink some rice wine today."
Su Anlin agreed, ordered a pot of warm rice wine, and served five dishes and two soups.
After having a drink, Xu Jinnian started chatting: "Junior brother, you may think that I love to play, but in fact, I am very smart."
"Oh?" Su Anlin took a serious look at Xu Jinnian: "I can tell."
"I'm very good at judging people. Now everyone in the martial arts school says that Wang Yan is very powerful, especially senior sister Cheng Shasha. She gives him things when she has nothing to do. Alas... I will be deceived sooner or later. I feel that you are different from him. You are also from a poor background.
You can keep your heart."
"Senior brother, you are overly praised."
"It's true, that is to say, no one else knows about your ability yet."
Su Anlin was curious: "Senior Sister Cheng likes Wang Yan?"
"Sure."
Su Anlin remembered that she had sent her pastries to Wang Yan. At that time, she also thought that Cheng Shasha was too proactive?
"Wang Yan has a woman outside. I have had dinner with him several times, and I can see that he wants to marry a woman with some background. Cheng Shasha will fetch water from a bamboo basket sooner or later."
Xu Jinnian sighed: "Actually, I am the first to know Cheng Shasha. I know her well. She doesn't take on many tasks. She just doesn't want to be in the public eye. She wants to find an honest man to marry, but her vision is not very good. Alas..."
"Then senior brother, you and senior sister should talk about it." Su Anlin said.
"I can't bring this up. Although I'm not afraid of Wang Yan, I'm also afraid of villains."
"Forget it, let's not mention them. Junior brother, what are your plans in the future?"
Su Anlin shook his head: "I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't know much about this place. At the moment, I just want to practice darts at the same time."
He gains experience points by killing enemies during his training. If he plays dart, he can earn money and kill enemies, which is a good choice.
"It's really good to be an escort, but the money is still low. I have a way here. Junior brother, you can consider it."
