This continent has four seas, the easternmost of which is called the East China Sea, which is tens of millions of hectares in size.
Legend has it that there is a fairy mountain on the East China Sea, and there are land gods on the mountain. You can visit the North Sea in the dark sky, eat in the wind and drink dew, and ride on a dragon and ride in the fog.
It's a pity that legends are just legends after all. No one or ghost has ever seen any land gods.
Donghai County is located on a plain on the coast of the East China Sea. It is a small county that makes a living by drying salt and fishing, and the people live an ordinary life.
Those who have arms and legs are fine, and they can still make ends meet. But if you are physically disabled, it will be really miserable, as you can't even get anything to eat.
Shangluo was lying in a dilapidated courtyard. He could not move his hands or feet, it was difficult to turn over, and he was completely unable to take care of himself.
In fact, he only had a broken foot before. After Uncle Fu brought him to Donghai, Uncle Fu worked hard to earn money to support him. He earned so much that some people were jealous and had several gangsters beat him to death.
At the same time, Shangluo's hand was also broken, and the burden of life suddenly fell on the damselfly.
Damselfly, Shangluo and Wang Fu were friends in adversity. After they came to Donghai County, the three of them rented a small courtyard and lived together.
After Wang Fu died, Damselfly couldn't pay the rent, and the landlord came to evict her.
"Girl, my mother-in-law didn't tell you, how much rent do you all owe? My mother-in-law really wants to keep you, she also has to make money to eat!"
An old woman in blue cloth pulled the damselfly and whispered.
This old lady is the landlord, known as Granny Wang. She works part-time as a matchmaker, a matchmaker, and other messy businesses. Her character is extremely poor.
There are even rumors that she can do magic.
Previously, there were many matchmakers in Donghai County, but later they all died in a miserable state, with bleeding from the mouth and nose.
The government made a casual investigation and did not bother to redress the grievances of ordinary people. They did not find any clues, so the matter was dropped.
There were rumors in the market that Granny Wang was the one responsible for her death, but there was no evidence. In addition, people are naturally afraid of evildoers, so Granny Wang was always at large.
"Grandma Wang, please give me a few days of grace. I...I recently found a job washing clothes, and I will soon be rich."
The damselfly stretched out her little hands, but they were covered with frostbite. In this world, the work of starching clothes is not easy, and the clothes that can be received are usually large pieces of clothes, which are very difficult to wash.
Damselflies can make money even if their hands are rotten from the cold.
Mother-in-law Wang grabbed the damselfly's hand and sighed: "What a good girl! Girl, my mother-in-law will introduce you to a good family. Don't be with that good-for-nothing man like you."
Just as Damniang was about to explain that Shangluo was not her man, Granny Wang pulled her over forcefully, her face turned cold.
"Girl, you have to think carefully. If you don't have money to pay for the house, your mother-in-law will evict you. There are countless homeless people outside. You, a girl, live on the street. What might happen?"
A fierce look appeared on Granny Wang's face: "Girl, if you lose your man, I will take you to a good place to make a lot of money and eat well."
The damselfly was stunned, and she immediately realized what Granny Wang wanted to do.
Before Wang Fu was alive, someone was protecting them, but now that Wang Fu is dead, she is a weak woman and a disabled person, and the evil people are worried about her.
The damselfly said cowardly: "I, I want to think about it today, can Granny Wang tolerate me for a few days?"
The damselfly lowered her head and twisted her clothes with her hands, looking timid and a little hesitant.
Grandma Wang felt contempt in her heart.
It was expected that the damselfly would not endure the hardship, and she was about to give in. Grandma Wang nodded: "Of course, girl, you can stay in my house for one more day, and I will come back tomorrow."
"Well, mother-in-law, walk slowly."
Grandma Wang smiled kindly and mentally estimated the price of the damselflies and where to sell them most profitably.
A rich man’s concubine?
The girl's figure is okay, but her color is average and she has freckles on her face, which makes her look down on the rich.
The poor cannot pay the price.
Damselflies happen to belong to the neither beautiful nor ugly type. They cannot reach high places and it is a pity to sell them cheaply.
It is better to buy a kiln and receive customers every day.
After seeing off Granny Wang, Damselfly immediately packed up the package, found a cart, dragged Shangluo onto the cart, and covered her with a blanket.
"Brother Shangluo, I think that mother-in-law is not a good person, and I want to take you to escape." Damselfly said in a low voice.
Shangluo closed his eyes and was too lazy to speak.
Despite the damselfly's frail body pulling the cart, she struggled to walk on the street, and her shoulders were worn out.
After walking for a long time, I finally found a stone cave on the outskirts of the city, in the East Bay.
The damselfly spread the tattered bedding she brought and dragged Shangluo to the cave with great effort.
"Brother Shang, don't worry. Uncle Fu is dead. I will take care of you from now on. I can make money to support you."
"as you like."
Shangluo finally spoke, his tone was ancient and elegant, showing an indifference that would make others feel distant.
The damselfly opened her mouth, wanting to say something else, but Shangluo simply turned over with difficulty, his back facing her.
The damselfly smiled bitterly.
Shangluo was a weirdo and had no feelings for anyone. Uncle Fu treated him so well. When he died, he didn't cry or show any expression.
Damselfly and Uncle Fu could only meet by chance, and she burst into tears.
Sometimes Damniang really wants to give up Shangluo, but she thinks about the life-saving grace and Uncle Fu's sigh before he died.
The damselfly relented.
Brother Shang is a weirdo. His hands and feet are all disabled. He must have deliberately wanted to drive me away because he was afraid of dragging me down.
"Don't worry, Brother Shang, I don't think you are a drag, I won't leave."
The damselfly grinned and figured out the reason.
Shangluo didn't speak and lay motionless. The damselfly thought he was guilty, so she smiled and tidied the cave.
From now on, the cave will be their home.
…
Li Jun's side.
He Sanwen spent some days raising it and finally finished the dragon bone knife. The handle of the knife was engraved with the word "dragon bone" and decorated with a giant dragon, which is...
The dragon looked strange, similar to He San. Li Jun took the dragon bone and thought about it.
Neither heavy nor light, just took advantage of it, the key point is that from the outside, it looks like a butcher's knife.
Li Jun holds the dragon bone, practices martial arts every day, and has a rich life arrangement in Xuanshui. Li Jun's life is quite nourishing.
A few old women next door even brought girls over every day, saying they would help him find a virtuous wife to keep his quilt warm.
In fact, they were all their relatives, even daughters, or they gave money and asked for help to introduce them to Li Jun.
Without exception, Li Jun drove them all away.
On this day, Li Jun was practicing martial arts again.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The courtyard door is not locked.
Squeak~
The heavy door slowly opened.
Two people walked in, one was An Dawang and the other Li Jun looked familiar. If he looked closely, he turned out to be the charming woman Zhukou saved before.
"Is something wrong?"
Li Jun blocked the door and said calmly.
"Master Li Xian." An Dawang said embarrassedly: You have helped me a lot and saved Xixi twice. I am here to express my gratitude."
"Well, please accept these mountain goods. We farmers don't have money, so we can't buy good things to give as gifts."
"very good already."
Li Jun smiled and made a gesture of inviting An Dawang and the girl to come in.
