Sword energy spans a hundred thousand miles The blue sky and the day are hard to shine, and the flowers turn into a building to cross the difficult time.
The blue sky and the day are hard to shine, and the flowers turn into a building to cross the difficult time.
Living too leisurely will make people forget time.
Unknowingly, half a year has passed since Zhou Yeqing became a steward. During these six months, every day he got up, ate, walked, slept, drank endless tea... and so on.
On the balcony of Xiyuan, the young man looked listlessly at the passers-by below, feeling sleepy, like a lake of green stagnant water, waiting for a stone to break the surface of the water.
These six months have given Zhou Yeqing a new understanding of Baihua Tower.
It turns out that Baihua Tower was indeed built by Xu Xiaoer, the wife of the previous city lord, but it was not for the indulgence of dignitaries. On the contrary, it was to provide a way for poor families to survive.
The people in this building are all poor children from remote mountainous areas, or children who have been abandoned since childhood and have no way to make a living. The appearance of Baihua Building is just to give them hope of living and teach them to make a living by themselves without having to go through the traps.
The road of abduction.
There were no prostitutes, gamblers or drug addicts in the building. Most of the guests came to listen to music to relieve their boredom, and some just came to drink a glass of sake. The play that Guanshi He performed that day was originally arranged by him. After Zhou Yeqing became the supervisor,
, and they all went to collect debts next to each other.
Precisely because of the purity of Baihua Building, no one would come to make trouble at all, and Zhou Yeqing himself was the first one. The so-called Consul of Siyuan is just a teacher who teaches academic skills. Zhou Yeqing's status as a steward is more like
A middleman who arranges teaching reasonably.
Women learn to play musical instruments and sing, while men learn martial arts with guns and sticks. They are all considered to be adults. If they are willing to stay in the future, they can get an errand in the building. Although they will not be rich and powerful, they can still have enough food and clothing. If you want
Leave to find a better place, pay for the travel expenses, and wish you success.
This place really provides a way for those who have been abandoned by God to survive.
Zhou Yeqing was really sleepy and bored upstairs, so he jumped up, climbed over the railing, and jumped to the street. At this moment, he wished that a cute little girl with blind eyes could rush in and play with him for a while.
.
He was not familiar with Wanjin City at all, so he walked aimlessly when he came out, looking left and right. Unknowingly, he came to the charcoal fire he relied on when he first came to Wanjin City at night.
It was just after noon, and the store owner was also taking a nap with his head in one hand. Zhou Yeqing looked around and realized that it was a noodle stall. There were several oily yellow tables and half-low bamboo stools. Zhou Yeqing picked a clean one and sat casually.
Down.
"Eh~ Shopkeeper, let's make a bowl of noodles, tough." Zhou Yeqing came out and hadn't eaten yet, so he dealt with it casually.
The store owner was startled by Zhou Yeqing's sudden sound, and with a thud on his head, he took off his hand and dropped it on the table. He grimaced in pain.
"It turns out that the steward is here. Oops, sit down and he'll be here soon~"
"you know me?"
The shopkeeper covered his head with one hand and rubbed it, and added some firewood to the stove with the other. He responded with a smile: "I know, who in Wanjin City doesn't know that a steward came out of Baihua Building and beat that old bastard He Chun to death?"
Zhou Yeqing didn't quite understand when the store owner said this.
"Exterminating harm for the sake of fame?! What do you mean?"
The store owner opened the pot and the water was getting hot gradually, but it was still not quite hot, so he held the pot with one hand and held the chopsticks against his waist with the other hand, and said rather resentfully.
"That old guy, relying on his status, is arrogant and domineering in this Wanjin City. He will take away good things when he sees them. If you dare to speak, you will be beaten severely. If you meet a good-looking girl, you will have sex with her that night.
"
"Just last year, at the old Zhang family in the pharmacy on the east side of the city, their son was getting married. This old bastard showed up uninvited and drank a few more sips of wine. The newlyweds paid homage to heaven and earth and just took off their headscarves. He got to see the beauty of the bride.
, his bestiality aroused, and he immediately ordered people to drive all the guests out of the door, and in the hall where they were getting married, in front of the heaven and earth, he broke the bride's body..."
"The Zhang family is also a reputable family. How can I bear such an insult? My mother was immediately angry to death. What a sin. She turned someone's happy event into nothing."
Zhou Yeqing was shocked after hearing what the store owner said. He didn't expect that the manager could be so unscrupulous and cruel.
"Why don't you go to Baihua Tower to sue him? Isn't Madam there?"
The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, and poured noodles into the pot without showing any interest.
"Madam? I haven't seen her for many years. Who knows where she is? Moreover, He Chun is one of their own, and everyone protects their shortcomings. It's not like you don't know about the little steward."
"And what the people in the city are afraid of is not his status as a manager, but... his fear of talking too much."
The story about this store stopped abruptly, and Zhou Yeqing vaguely felt that there was something hidden in it.
After eating the noodles, Zhou Yeqing asked for directions and headed towards Dongcheng. The store told him that when it came to medical skills in the city, the old Zhang family in the east of the city had to be the top one, and everyone else had to step aside.
Zhou Yeqing still remembered his aunt's illness and the half-time medication he took.
After about a stick of incense, Zhou Yeqing searched for it, and finally arrived. The pharmacy was not facing the street, so it felt a bit desolate. There were many fallen leaves in front of the door, and it didn't look like it was often taken care of.
Zhou Yeqing looked at the plaque hanging on the door, which was engraved with the words "Zhang Yao", and thought that was it, so he walked in.
After coming in, Zhou Yeqing looked inside and couldn't help but frown, feeling dissatisfied.
It's quite spacious inside, but the windows all around are closed, and there's no light at all. It's all relying on a few candles inside. The weak yellow light fills the huge hall, and it's very stuffy inside, with no ventilation at all, mixed with...
The strong medicinal smell makes it difficult to breathe smoothly.
As soon as he came in, Zhou Yeqing already had a layer of sweat on his forehead. It was really uncomfortable in here, like walking into a living coffin.
"Is there anyone there?" Zhou Yeqing couldn't see anyone for a while, so he tentatively called out. This "Is there someone there?" was heard, and a weak echo came back.
Zhou Yeqing felt that there was something mysterious in it, and no one had been seen for a long time, so he wanted to leave. But as soon as he turned around, he was suddenly startled!
Behind him, at the threshold, there was a female doll.
This female doll is wearing two hairpins, but her complexion is somehow gray-white. Even if the room is frighteningly dark at the moment, she is still dazzlingly white. It is obviously hot in the afternoon, but she is wearing a...
Wearing a thick blue and black coat, she looked very strange. At this moment, she was standing there, motionless, with her two small hands hooked in front of her, looking back at Zhou Yeqing with her big dark eyes.
Zhou Yeqing had just scared the noodle seller, but now he encountered the real world news, and he was also returned by the sudden appearance of the little girl.
The girl didn't move or speak, her dark eyes were staring. It was already hot inside, but after doing this, Zhou Yeqing's back was wet with sweat.
"you?"
"Ahahahaha, someone is here, someone is buying medicine, grandpa... grandpa..."
Zhou Yeqing didn't know whether the sweat on his forehead was caused by the heat or the fog caused by the little girl. He just asked a word, but before he could finish speaking, the girl suddenly jumped up and screamed with joy.
He ran out...
"Ah...there are guests...run slowly, run slowly..."
In addition to the sound of a girl running out of the door, after a while, there was another old man. Zhou Yeqing was standing in front of the counter and couldn't move out, so he had to wait for someone to come.
The heavy curtain on the door was lifted, and the female doll jumped in, looking very lively. Then an old man came in, and looked at the happy female doll running into the inner hall with a smile.
"Xi'er, walk slowly, walk slowly, don't fall."
After the old man finished his instructions, he looked at the young man at the counter kindly and said, "Sir, what do you want?"
Zhou Yeqing looked at the person in front of him, who looked ordinary and kind, and felt calm.
"Old sir, I'm here to find half-medicated medicine." Zhou Yeqing said, and then told his uncle's experience of coming to Wanjincheng many years ago. The old man listened and walked towards the inside. It was dark everywhere, but he could accurately walk there.
At the table, take a glass and pour some water.
After finishing speaking, Zhou Yeqing picked up the cup and looked at the old man in front of him expectantly.
"The world is not so good. The guys have all been dismissed. I don't know if it was the medicine prescribed in the room, but I can also cure this disease. It's not a big deal." After listening to Zhou Yeqing's words, the old man thought for a while.
, then he said.
Zhou Yeqing was relieved when he heard that it could be cured, and his face became more joyful.
"Then that's a problem, sir!"
"It's not a problem, it's not a problem. Just wait a moment and I'll get some medicine."
The old man got up and bowed slightly, then walked towards the counter. Zhou Yeqing was in a good mood when he learned that his aunt's pain was gone. He took a sip of tea and casually looked around the medicine hall.
The furnishings in this hall should have been grand, but maybe because they haven't seen sunlight for a long time, they are dim and a bit heavy. There is also some clutter around them. This also echoes the old man's words, he is indeed a kind of guy.
Zhou Yeqing looked a little strange. According to what the previous noodle shop said, this family is also a prominent family. Although they have been insulted, they should not be so thin, with only one old and one young.
?
Just when Zhou Yeqing was puzzled, the old man behind the counter revealed his voice.
"Sir, have you heard about the new steward in Baihua Building?"
Zhou Yeqing didn't expect that the old man would ask him about it, and he didn't know how to answer. If he agreed, it would inevitably lead to the past, which was too hurtful.
"Sir, I came from outside the city to seek medicine, and I haven't heard about what's going on in the city."
The old man nodded in response, and continued to dispense medicine with his hands, "I heard that he is still a half-grown boy, probably about the same size as you, guest sir."
Zhou Yeqing laughed and didn't answer. He picked up the cup and drank tea. The incense in the hall was densely lit and lingering, almost drowning the old man's figure.
