The old man fled from Litian City. The cost of living in Litian City is too high. For them, it is simply ridiculously high. In other words, the old man was eliminated by big cities like Litian City. Therefore, he
Decided to return to Longwang Town to join relatives.
Whose relatives don’t dislike the poor and love the rich? If you have some money, you will have more confidence when you arrive in Longwang Town. If you have no confidence at all, how will you survive in the future? Now, with these three
With more than a thousand gold coins, you can buy a house and some land, and live comfortably in Dragon King Town.
Afterwards, Guo Yi and the old man went on the road together.
The journey was considered safe. During the more than 100 kilometers, we did not encounter any other bandits. However, there were a few strong men following the old man along the way. They probably wanted to wait for an opportunity to make a move, but Guo Yi was always by his side.
, it was difficult for them to start. In the end, they had no choice but to let it go.
People arrived at Longwang Town.
Longwang Town is larger than Huaqiao Town. A small town with a population of several hundred thousand is almost as big as a small city.
The old man was familiar with the road and found a house.
"This is my cousin's house." The old man smiled and said, "They have some money in Longwang Town, so this time I came here to join him."
"Old man, why did you leave Litian City?" Guo Yi asked curiously.
"Well, the house was destroyed and the person almost died." The old man smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't leave, how can you die there?"
"How could the house be destroyed?" Guo Yi asked in surprise.
"A few days ago, a huge battle broke out in Litian City." The old man looked at Guo Yi and said, "It seems to be a battle between monks. My house happened to be nearby and was implicated. The house was destroyed, and I
My daughter and I almost died too."
Ding!
Guo Yi's heart was pounding. He didn't expect that a battle between himself and the Five Elements Sect would involve them. Guo Yi felt a little sad in his heart.
They originally lived a good life in Litian City, but unexpectedly, their battle with the Five Elements Sect caused them to leave their hometown.
Boom, boom, boom!
The old man knocked on the door.
Not long after, an old woman of five or six years old opened the door. She had a simple and honest figure, but she was dressed in colorful clothes and heavy makeup. After opening the door, the old woman was immediately stunned: "Old Hu, why are you here?"
"I..." the old man smiled bitterly and said, "I can no longer survive in Li Tiancheng. The house has been destroyed, so I came here to join you."
"Come to us?" The old woman's voice provided dozens of decibels, and her eyes widened: "We are also in trouble, we can't survive, so don't bother us."
About to close the door.
The old man hurriedly blocked the door and said: "I... I will stay here for just one day, just one day."
The old woman frowned and said impatiently: "Just one day, if one more day passes I will kick you out."
"Okay!" The old man nodded.
The three of them stepped into the courtyard.
This house is considered a good one in Longwang Town. There are servants in the yard taking care of the flower beds and tidying up the yard. It can be seen that this family should be considered a good one. Unexpectedly, the old man went to them, but was rejected.
.
Guo Yi was a little curious.
Entered the inner hall.
Finally, I met the old man’s cousin.
"Brother, why are you here?" Although the man was old, he was full of energy.
"Yes." The old man helplessly recounted his tragic experience.
"It's okay, you can stay here from now on." The cousin hurriedly patted his chest.
Ahem!
The old woman on the side coughed twice: "He doesn't like living here. He said he would only stay for one day. So, don't think too much."
The cousin was stunned for a moment, slightly embarrassed, and then said, "What's going on?"
"I'll rest here for the day." The old man smiled.
"What about Qiao'er?" asked my cousin.
"I'll take her to find a house tomorrow." The old man said with a wry smile.
"You want to rent a house?" When the old woman heard this, she said happily: "There is a woodshed next to me, which is independent. It is not big, but it is enough for you and your daughter to live in. How about it?"
When my cousin heard this, he said, "If you want to live in it, just take it."
"What to take?" The old woman glared at her husband and said, "Rent collector, one hundred copper coins a month."
Guo Yi watched with cold eyes.
The so-called warmth and warmth of human relationships are nothing more than that, right?
They are obviously blood cousins, but they treat her cousin so indifferently. It's just a matter of not taking him in, but she still charges rent for a mere woodshed? This old woman is simply obsessed with money.
The old man didn't say anything, but shook his head: "Forget it, I can suffer myself, but I can't suffer Qiao'er."
"Then..." The man looked at the old man.
"I'm going to take a look on the streets." The old man smiled.
"Huh!" The old woman snorted coldly and said, "On the street? Can you afford to rent? The houses there are very valuable. If you don't have dozens of gold coins in your pocket, you'd better not look at them."
What kind of money can you get if you come from a deserted country?
Although you come from a big city, you have lost everything. Even in Dragon King Town, how can you gain a foothold?
The old woman obviously doesn't think much of her brother.
The three people in front of them were dressed in plain and simple clothes, and they didn't look like rich people at all.
Needless to say, the old man and his daughter Joel were dressed in tight cotton clothes, and they looked like they were fleeing for safety. Although the boy in white in front of him looked more pleasing to the eye, the clothes he wore looked cheap.
It’s not worth anything. What’s the use of being handsome? Money is the most important thing.
"Brother, it's a rare occasion to come here and have a meal." The younger brother said.
The old man was about to speak.
"Ahem, what's for dinner?" The old woman stared at her husband and said, "We just finished eating, where is there any food in the pot?"
"This..." The younger brother was dumbfounded.
But the old man smiled and said: "I'm treating you today, brother, let's go out for a drink."
"Ah?" The younger brother was stunned for a moment and said, "This...how is this allowed?"
"It's okay." The old man made up his mind and said, "I still have enough money for a meal. Sister-in-law, how about we go together?"
The old woman snorted coldly: "I'll go if I want to, but I won't go if it's of a low standard."
When she said this, she was just deliberately trying to spite her elder brother.
"Don't worry, I will make sure you have enough to eat and drink." The old man chuckled.
After speaking, the old man said to Guo Yi: "Sir, why don't we go together."
"Yeah." Guo Yi nodded.
The old man was not familiar with Longwang Town, so he could only let his cousin and his wife lead the way.
The old woman was not polite and directly chose the grandest and most luxurious restaurant in Longwang Town: Fuhai Tower.
"Are you crazy?" The younger brother glared at the old woman and said, "Can you come here without a dozen gold coins for a meal?"
"Didn't he want to invite you?" The old woman pursed her lips.
"It's okay, just stay here." The old man said very calmly.
Since he wants to eat, he should eat the best. Besides, he is not really inviting the old woman to eat, but is inviting his brother and Mr. Guo to eat. Today, he wants to make this old woman's eyes open.
