"Brother Shen, please wait for me for a moment." Passing through an alley, Yu Meng suddenly stopped and turned around to say to Shen Luo.
"Brother Yu, please excuse me." Shen Luo said.
Yu Meng walked quickly into the alley, and his figure quickly disappeared into it.
Shen Luo stopped to look at the surrounding environment, recalling the various situations he had seen before, and secretly thinking about how to ask Yu Meng something when he arrived at his home.
"Brother, please, can you give me something to eat? I haven't eaten for two days." Shen Luo was deep in thought when a crisp voice came from the side.
Hearing the sound, Shen Luo turned around and saw a little girl about seven or eight years old standing timidly not far away.
The little girl's linen blouse was dirty and full of patches. Because it was too wide, her arms and calves were exposed. She held a broken bowl in both hands and spoke with longing words. Looked over.
"I have nothing to eat and no money..." Shen Luo felt weak when the little girl looked at him. He put his hand into his pocket and rummaged twice to show that he had nothing.
"Brother Shen, what's wrong?" Yu Meng's voice came, and he walked quickly from the alley.
There are two more long black knives on his waist. The backs of the swords are much narrower than the Zhanma swords he used before, but the blades are longer. They are inserted diagonally on the lower back. There is something bulging in his arms. .
When the little girl saw Yu Meng, especially the weapon in his hand, a look of panic appeared on her face, and she quickly turned around and ran away.
"Alas, the world is desolate and the people are in poverty... let's go." Yu Meng sighed when he saw this scene.
Looking at the thin figure fleeing, Shen Luo felt a little clogged in his heart and couldn't tell what it was like.
The two continued to move forward and soon left the block.
There were many more trees on the roadside ahead, the road began to become narrower, and residential courtyards began to appear on both sides of the road.
There are fewer pedestrians here, every house is closed, the road may not have been cleaned for a long time, and fallen leaves are everywhere, rolling in the wind.
Not long after, Shen Luo followed Yu Meng to a tall house. The word "Yu Mansion" was written on the plaque at the front door.
This house faces north and faces south. The main entrance is wide enough for four or five people to walk side by side. The two gates are painted with a layer of gold paint. Although most of them have peeled off, they still give off a splendid atmosphere. There are also placed at the door. There is a pair of red painted stone lions that are two feet tall. Compared with the surrounding residents, they clearly feel like they stand out from the crowd.
"Brother Yu, it turns out that he is a child of a wealthy family." Seeing this, Shen Luo smiled slightly.
"It's all my father's mess. Now the world is rampant with monsters and the world is in chaos. What's the use of all this outward appearance?"
Yu Meng said, and was about to step forward to push him away. When he opened the door, a sound of footsteps came from the side, but it was the three servants who walked over quickly.
Yu Meng took back his hand and stepped forward to greet him.
"Master, Tian Chong has been sent home.The comfort money was also sent over. "A black-faced retinue held his fists and said.
"Okay, you have worked hard, go back and rest first. "A trace of sadness flashed in Yu Meng's eyes, and he nodded.
The three subordinates agreed, nodded slightly to Shen Luo, and then turned around to go home.
"Brother Shen, I'll leave for a while and I'll be back soon. "After a few people left, Yu Meng pondered for a moment and said to Shen Luo.
"Brother Yu, if you have something to do, just go and do it. "Shen Luo knew that Yu Meng wanted to go to Tian Chong's house, so naturally he would not stop him.
Yu Meng cupped his hands and left quickly, heading in the direction where the previous soldiers came from.< /p>
Shen Luo watched Yu Meng's figure go away, sighing secretly in his heart, and waited in front of Yu's house while looking at the surrounding environment, but he was not bored after a while. Meng rushed back from the front, his eyes slightly red.
"Brother Shen, you have been waiting for a long time. Come on, follow me into the house. " He said apologetically.
As he spoke, he took a few steps forward and knocked on the door.
"Master, you are back. ”
The heavy door opened with a creak, and a fat man of fifteen or sixteen years old came up with a smile. But when he saw Shen Luo behind him, a trace of surprise flashed in his flexible eyes.
"Is father back?" "Yu Meng's expression has returned to calmness and he asked.
"The master has come back and is in the inner room. "The little fat man moved his eyes back and replied.
"This brother Shen Luo I just met, Xiao Shunzi, you go and clean up that wing first. "Yu Meng ordered the little fat man and led Shen Luo into the gate and walked towards the inner courtyard.
This courtyard is a three-entry courtyard with a rigorous layout, with towering eaves and high walls. It was quite spectacular.
However, what surprised Shen Luo was that there was no servant in the huge courtyard. It seemed quite deserted. Until now, he had only seen Xiao Shunzi.
p>Imagine that my house in Chunhua County is not inferior to the mansion, but there are also many servants and maids.
After passing through the two courtyards, the two came to a spacious place. In the main hall, the floor is paved with large strips of mugwort bluestone, which is as smooth as a mirror and as hard as iron. The tables and chairs are also made of dark rosewood. There are some antique ornaments placed on the left and right walls, which are quite luxurious.
Only in the deepest part of the hall, in front of a relief screen, sits a tall statue, but it is not the Three Pure Ones and Six Imperial Kings, the Five Directions and Five Elders, but a middle-aged scribe holding a pen, with three strands of long beard and beating his chest, quite elegant. .
In front of the statue is an incense table, filled with incense, candles, tributes and other items, and the cigarette smoke is lingering.
The statue and the incense table are incompatible with the luxurious decoration in the hall, and they look nondescript. It's even a bit funny.
Shen Luo couldn't help but show a strange expression when he saw the decoration in the hall.
His family is also considered a wealthy businessman in the county, and he knows that wealthy people are most particular about pomp and dignity. The furnishings in the main hall for entertaining guests, everyEvery detail must be carefully arranged, how could this scene happen?
"This makes me laugh. My father is a Taoist, and he does things casually. The decoration at home is a bit messy." Yu Meng saw Shen Luo's expression and explained with a smile, obviously more than that. Shen Luo was surprised by the layout here.
"How come, Uncle Yu behaves in an eclectic way, which is exactly what everyone does. Is he free at the moment? I'm going to pay my respects." Shen Luo smiled and looked at the man who turned the main hall into a Taoist temple. People became interested.
"Actually, you have just met." Yu Meng blinked and said mysteriously.
Shen Luo was startled and was about to ask more questions.
"Meng'er, you brat, where have you been fooling around again? You came back so late and made me wait for you for a long time! Did you buy what I asked you to buy?" A slightly older man A voice sounded outside, and along with the voice, a short and fat figure walked in.
Shen Luo Xun Sheng turned around, and after seeing the appearance of the person clearly, his eyes widened.
It’s actually him?
The person who came was none other than the short, fat old man wearing golden silk clothes among the immortal masters at the top of the city. He was also the one who saved Yu Meng.
The old man was holding a vermilion wine gourd in his hand at the moment. His face was red and his eyes were blurry. He was already three or four points drunk. He looked like an ordinary drunken old man without any trace of his past. When you were at the top of the city, that kind of aloof and immortal demeanor?
