Bulwark of Light

Chapter 90 Old Town Stories

“Go to the toilet…how come I can’t even see a silhouette?”

Twenty minutes later, Gu Shen realized something was wrong.

He went to the toilet and confirmed that Song Ci had run away from the urine, and there was no one inside.

“This unethical bastard bullies me out of town?”

Gu Shen was so angry that he gnash the teeth, went back to the noodle restaurant to pay, and saw the thin and tall man The Boss, with a towel hanging from his neck, sat in front of the wooden bench, smiled and looked into the distance, only to realize… This Boss seems to have maintained this sitting position for a long time.

“Boss, check out.”

The tall and thin Boss heard the voice, turned a blind eye, just slowly turned his head to look at Gu Shen, smiling nodded.

This boss…seems…not very smart?

“Two bowls, with meat, eggs and brine, right? Thirty-six, including wine, there are forty-four in total. No credit will be given for small books.” The sound of deng deng deng going downstairs, Lady Boss energetic and bustling went downstairs, looking at the vacant seat, frowned: “You are a friend brought by the crow, this kid ran away by himself after eating?”

again?

Gu Shen was stunned, isn’t this the first time that something like this has happened?

“Lao Xu! Remember! Next time, let the crow pay first and then eat!” Lady Boss yelled loudly while clearing the dishes. The tall Slender Boss still had his hands on his knees, sitting in the maza like a primary school student On, smiling and looking out into the distance, slowly nodded.

Lady Boss finished cleanly, brought the big bowl into the kitchen, and explained to Gu Shen indifferently: “Forgive me, Lao Xu’s brain is not very good.”

Gu Shen Immediately understood.

Thinking about it again, he suddenly understood another layer of meaning in the words Song Ci said to him…

“He didn’t run away, he just had an emergency, so let’s go first. now.” Gu Shen said softly.

Lady Boss, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, gave Gu Shen a somewhat surprised look after hearing this.

The teenager standing outside, clean and neatly dressed, seems to know that he is not the same as the crow.

She wiped her hands on the apron and said, “You are the first to speak for him like this, how long have you known each other, is there a day?”

“…” Gu Shen thought for a while, then embarrassedly said: “Counting this meal, it’s two hours.”

“Then don’t believe his nonsense, and don’t treat him as a friend.” Lady Boss casually said : “The crow has no friends, and there is no truth in his mouth… A good boy like you should not be with him. Those who are with him will be unlucky.”

Gu Shen was silent After a while, he asked softly, “Then…the little Young Lady Lu he just said, is it true or false?”

“Little Lu?”

Lady Boss laughed, “Little Lu is real, does he know how to show you pictures from his wallet, and boast that Young Lady Lu is his girlfriend?”

Gu Shen scratched Scratching his head, it was at this time that he felt that he had actually been cheated. He thought that he had at least had a drink with the crow, but he didn’t even see the photo of Xiao Lu.

“Damn girlfriend, can Xiao Lu like him?” Lady Boss raised her eyebrows and said with a sneer: “I have been playing for a few years since I was a child, and I have always brag about him, Song Ci is always a fool. Looking in the mirror, I know that I am a toad, so how can I be worthy of Xiao Lu? People in Ba Tiao Street can see that he is secretly in love with someone.

Speaking of this, I am angry.

Lady Boss slapped Lao Xu on the head.

“I’ll be angry when you mention him!” She fiercely admonished, “Don’t let the crow enter the door next time!”

Lao Xu nodded aggrievedly, “The crow… no Bad.”

“No, no, no, no!” Lady Boss was so angry that she tapped her forehead again, and Lao Xu was beaten up to the point where he picked up his pony and put it upside down on his head. Run away far away.

Gu Shen looked at this scene, angry and funny.

“Little Lu is not here.”

Lady Boss sighed softly, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and babbled: “That little girl is exceptionally intelligent and good-looking, just a little bit. She is withdrawn and stubborn, but no matter how you look at it, you can see that she is not a child that we can cultivate in the old city, and I don’t know what her family thinks, she has fostered such a beautiful girl here alone for two years.”

“What is Xiao Lu’s name?” Gu Shen asked curiously.

“Xiao Lu’s name…”

Lady Boss was a little dazed when she heard this question, and after thinking for a while, she called the head, “Everyone calls her Xiao Lu, We only know her surname Lu, no one knows her name, her parents, why she came here, why she left.”

Lady Boss leaned against the window, lazily looking at the mottled sun shining on the old town on the wall of the alley, “but we all know…she will leave, this is not her place.”

……

……

“Hello.”

Song Ci shaved her teeth, and lazily answered the phone.

“Crow, where are you?”

The woman’s voice on the other end of the phone was full of anger, “If you have the guts to cause trouble, don’t play missing! Give you another hour, Don’t force me to use ‘Osama’ to find you!”

If Gu Shen was here, the voice on the phone would definitely feel familiar.

“Sister Liu, calm down, the fire hurts the body.”

After listening to the crow, his expression was still indifferent, said with a smile: “But he beat Chen San’s precious nephew. A meal, it’s not much trouble, right?”

Liu Yi suppressed her anger and coldly said: “Just a meal? You broke eight of his ribs and sent him half his life into Yama’s hands. Now, Nantang used the sacred relic to save his breath. Now the whole Nantang is looking for you, and Chen San is very angry now, saying that he will rip you off.”

“Okay. It’s scary…” The crow said with a smile: “I’m going to rip off my skin, how dare I show up?”

Liu Yi was silent for a while.

“This matter…you have to give Chen San an explanation.” She sighed weakly.

“Explain? It’s Chen San’s nephew who is trying to make a gesture, then I’ll make a gesture.” Song Ci shrugged, indifferently said: “Who knew he was so impatient, I only punched , he fell down… Wouldn’t it be a touch of porcelain?”

“As I said before, sincerity will be between the north and the south, there is a boundary, and the boundary cannot be crossed. If someone wants to cross the boundary, I will follow the rules. I’m here… Now I’ve beaten a young man and annoyed an old man. If you want me to explain, what can I explain? I’m just doing things according to the rules set by Master Zhao and him.” The crow’s voice suddenly became very soft. , said with a smile: “Why don’t you ask Chen San, do you dare not bring that title to Jiangtan, I will definitely show up and give him an explanation in person.”

Liu Yi dare not answer After speaking, the crow’s tone already had some desperate and hideous meaning.

“Let me pick it up.”

A slightly gloomy voice sounded.

“Yes…”

Liu Yi handed over the phone and changed her voice to a man. He sounded young, but not too young either, in his thirties , gloomy and angry.

“Crow…I’m talking about business with the Chen Family.”

“You beat someone, what should I do?” the man reprimanded in a low voice, “You are a stinker. Errand, can you afford Zhao Family’s loss?”

“Ah…it’s Zhao Qi, Zhao Eldest Young Master.”

When the crow heard the voice, it was brilliant He smiled, “long time no see long time no see, you haven’t continued to spend your days outside, and have changed your career to do business?”

Zhao Qi coldly un’ed: “You show up now, Everything has to be discussed.”

“I didn’t see it, you still have the innate talent for business… and you are still doing business with the Chen Family, which is really great generosity.” The crow interrupted him, Then he asked with a smile, “In the name of Hua Zhi?”

Zhao Qi on the other end of the phone fell silent.

“This matter… Has Old Master Crow rejected? Did Mr. Cui agree? What about her?” The smile on Crow’s face disappeared in an instant, and he didn’t show anything to the only son of Zhao’s consortium. Respect, and finally coldly said: “As you said, I’m a stinky errand… but the object of my errand is not you, I only listen to the lady.”

paused.

“So… your business has gone bad,” Song Ci said with a blank expression, “It’s about Lao Tzu?”

Hang up.

Sounds again.

Don’t look at it, then hang up.

Shut down by the way.

Song Ci felt that the whole world was clean. He casually flipped over a fence, found an abandoned rooftop that no one lived in, moved a worn-out rattan chair, and just lay there in the midday sun. , Lazily hummed a little tune, closed her eyes, but her brows were slightly wrinkled, and her heart was still haunted by inexplicable irritability.

I don’t know how long it took.

The sun moved from his face to his feet.

The fiery temperature seems to have dropped.

Song Ci closed his eyes and woke up in a restless state, slowly opened his eyes, full of energy in an instant.

A large umbrella was opened to block the sun. The umbrella was held by a beautiful woman in a white dress. She was adorned with jewels.

Song Ci shook her head.

“Madam…”

He hurriedly sat up from the reclining chair and spoke in a low voice.

Who can believe that this man with a very guilty conscience at the moment is the ruthless who dares to scold Zhao Qi directly on the phone.

Mrs. is holding an umbrella and standing in the dilapidated roof. This roof has long been abandoned and abandoned. Mechanical components are piled up in a mess, and the old electrical appliances that have been eliminated are the only thing that can still be seen. The scattered green plants in the pots were stubbornly alive in the wind and rain, but they had already given birth to cobwebs.

Because of the arrival of Mrs., the dilapidated rooftop seems to have a unique beauty to admire. These tattered components and machinery seem to have become ingenious decorations.

“I sent someone to pick you up, but you didn’t want to come. When I called, you didn’t want to answer.”

There was no anger in her eyes, but peace.

“So I had to come in person.”

The crow hurriedly opened the phone and saw a series of dialing numbers that popped up behind him, he said helplessly: “It’s because Zhao Qihe Liu Yi…”

“Well, I know it all, you don’t have to say it anymore.”

The lady said softly: “The matter has been resolved.”

“…Ah?”

Crow was stunned, he suddenly didn’t know what to do, and stared blankly at Bai Ruyue’s wife. It was only now that he realized that he might have been in trouble, and said anxiously: “I just want to hide… How is the matter resolved?”

“Because of the cross-border thing, Chen San personally apologized. Now, but Zhao Qi’s business is also gone.” Madam said casually, “During this time, the relationship between Nanbeitang will be more tense, you try not to show your face, Zhao Qi’s side will handle it, he does not dare to be embarrassed. You.”
