Chapter 28 My Landlady(1/2)
"He can't stay here!"
"Mom, just rent him a room, even a basement. He is very pitiful. He has been framed and has no place to go."
"How much material did they give you to buy your dirty soul! You actually brought a stranger into your home!"
"A lot, I have to admit, but that's not the point... The point is that his uncle is in charge of logistics very close to the upper city. Those who are in charge of logistics are not small roles. As long as the younger brothers and sisters can establish a good relationship with him, they can go there in the future.
There will be people taking care of the development of Zhongcheng. This is an exchange, Mom!"
"They don't have to go to Midtown! Midtown is a prison that annihilates human nature! You have changed! Flower! You have changed!"
In the study room on the first floor of the small wooden building.
'Old Goat' Thomas was having a heated argument with the kind landlady.
Outside the wooden door with several gaps, several children listened with their ears to what was going on in the study.
Wang Jixuan stood in the corner of this living room and dining room, waiting for his 'fate' with his hands behind his back.
He seemed to be in a trance as he was thinking rapidly in his mind.
gas;
Qi is the beginning of all things;
Anger doesn’t lie;
Wang Jixuan would never admit his mistake because of the energy in Wen Heisen's body.
This old woman, Thomas's adoptive mother, has a trace of Wen Heisen's aura on her hands. They have been in contact recently. This aura is slowly dissipating. If he arrives here tomorrow, he will probably miss this key point.
information.
However, this is the hinterland of the Wanlijin Gang's "Emerald Manor".
Wanlijin and the Black Fire Gang were still exchanging fire sporadicly, and even when he and Thomas were driving through the border between the two gangs, they heard the sound of gunshots like fried beans.
Although the actual distance between the two gangs is not too far, there are large and continuous dark areas.
But this old woman's body has begun to decay. She doesn't have any energy in her body. She is just an ordinary person. It is unlikely that she can climb over those ditches, barbed wire fences, and hidden mines.
Thomas's words echoed in Wang Jixuan's heart:
'They can expand their territory downwards and dig holes.'
Dig a hole?
Wang Jixuan lowered his head and looked at his feet. He closed his eyes and sensed that ten meters below his feet, a two-meter-high arched tunnel gradually appeared.
It’s really authentic…
"Hello! My name is Ye Zi!"
A slender hand that was too white due to a long-term lack of light broke into Wang Jixuan's sight.
Wang Jixuan raised his eyes and saw a small, clean and smiling girl's face.
Thomas just introduced her, her name is Ye Zi, she is the eldest sister of the current group of orphans. She is thirteen years old this year. She has just entered puberty and is already quite tall.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Tian."
Wang Jixuan smiled and shook his head: "Men and women cannot be intimate."
"Huh? What does that mean?"
Ye Zi blinked, looked Wang Jixuan up and down, and asked in a low voice:
"Are you really from Zhongcheng?"
"Yes," Wang Jixuan responded softly.
"Are there lights everywhere in Midtown? Can you see light everywhere?"
"Absolutely," Wang Jixuan nodded in response, trying to appear more talkative, "but the lights in many places are at their lowest brightness, and it looks a bit dim."
"That's much better than here. Many places are dark...Does Zhongcheng receive anti-darkness drugs and vitamins regularly?"
"Anti-dark medicines are received regularly, and vitamins must be purchased with quotas," Wang Jixuan explained, "and vitamins are classified as food quotas."
Ye Zi's little mouth let out a few words of unexplained praise.
Then, she wanted to warm up the conversation, but she couldn't find a suitable topic.
After a while, Ye Zi asked again: "Do you want to sit down and rest?"
"fine."
"Why did you come down here? Isn't Midtown great?"
"I was framed and offended the powerful," Wang Jixuan still remembered the script Thomas had given him.
Ye Zi whispered: "Wow, it's like offending the gangs here... I really hope you can stay."
Wang Jixuan was a little confused: "Why?"
"This way you can help me work together!"
Ye Zi said softly:
"I have to learn a lot of things every day, including arithmetic, world geography, cleaning the first and second floors, and helping my mother take care of several little ones. Bathing them is the most tiring thing.
"When I open my eyes, I'm busy with all kinds of things and can't go out to play."
She lowered her head and complained, her ponytail swaying slightly.
Wang Jixuan noticed that there was a barcode tattoo on the back of Ye Ye's neck that had mostly been worn away.
He asked: "Can you introduce your adoptive mother?"
"Of course! Mom is the mother of all of us. She lived here a long time ago, before the Wanlijin Gang was established. She has helped more than three hundred children in total! More than three hundred!"
When Ye Zi talked about this, there was a bit of light in his eyes, and he emphasized the quantity.
"Although she looks bad-tempered, she is actually very gentle at heart. When we are sick, she will stay up late and stay by our side.
"Before I was five or six years old, I was with the Black Fire Gang. I was treated like an animal and used as an organ reserve for the high-ranking officials in the upper city. If those old people's organs failed, my organs might be harvested.
"Later, during a gang conflict, people from Wanlijin rescued me...many of us were rescued.
"Look here, the barcode I have here is proof of the Black Fire Gang material. When I was a child, my mother used a lot of effort to wipe it off for me when I was taking a shower.
"Then, my mother raised me, taught me how to read, and taught me many principles of life. My mother often said that even if we are in the dark, we can't give up hope. As long as we keep holding hands, even if we are just one
Even a weak individual can change the world step by step."
Wang Jixuan nodded and raised his eyebrows: "That makes sense."
He glanced at the study room with a slightly complicated look.
A person's eyes cannot be deceiving. Ye Zi's eyes are pure and kind, and there is no evil spirit in his body.
The old woman inside, who is elderly and has the aura of Wen Heisen, is also the same. She has no evil spirit at all.
What is evil spirit?
In short, there will be evil spirits after killing people. The malice emitted from the inside out is entangled with the resentment of the killed creature, and evil spirits will be born.
Many magic arts specialize in cultivating evil spirits, and they also use evil spirits to refine some vicious magic weapons such as the Ten Thousand Soul Flags.
He must be full of evil spirits now, but...it seems that only he can sense this thing.
——Daozhang Wang’s exclusive right of interpretation.
So, what is going on? Who is this old woman?
"What did you do in Zhongcheng before?" Ye Zi asked in a low voice.
Wang Jixuan responded casually: "Assembly line worker."
"Then I'll call you Brother Tian," Zi Zi muttered, "I really hope Brother Hua can convince my mother that I really need a house helper."
"Then you may not be able to satisfy me," Wang Jixuan said with a smile, "I may have to go out to work and earn some gang coins."
"No! Please!"
"I have to support myself."
The study door suddenly opened, and the few eavesdropping children suddenly jumped on their feet.
Thomas winked at Wang Jixuan: "It's done! You can live here! My mother will arrange a job for you later. She has many connections in the local area, but two-thirds of the supplies you earn must be used to buy supplies for the children.
Food, okay?”
Wang Jixuan nodded immediately: "Okay, it's very nice here, and... very interesting."
Very good refers to the aura environment around you.
Interesting refers to the tunnel under your feet.
"Yeah!"
Ye Zi jumped up for joy.
Although most of the children didn't understand what was happening, the eldest sister's head had already started to jump, and they jumped too.
To be continued...
