Chapter 877 It’s all cause and effect

Lu Zhaoling put on her veil again. Zhou Shiyue put on her mask again.

They entered the town at dusk.

"There has been no news for a long time since your two junior brothers came in. Do you think they went out to eat secretly?" Zhou Shiyue asked.

Lu Zhaoling said, "No, even if Senior Brother sees something delicious, he will definitely buy it and eat it with me."

"I don't?"

"childish."

They waited for a long time but Yin Yunting and the others didn't come back, so they just came in.

This small town is next to the official road, and there must have been many strangers coming and going in the past. Although their coming in like this will attract attention, it should not attract onlookers or cause too much noise.

But after coming in, they felt that such worries were a bit unnecessary.

There were few people on the streets, and most of the shops were deserted. Some were already closed, and there was no one paying attention to them.

However, they met the waiter from before again.

The waiter came up again.

When he heard Lu Zhaoling asking the two young gentlemen, he immediately knew what was going on and pointed forward.

"Something happened over there just now, so I went into that tea and fruit shop."

Something happened?

"Thank you, little brother." Lu Zhaoling smiled at him, "Go back quickly, there's a happy event at home."

After saying that, they hurried forward.

"Is there a happy event in my family?"

The waiter touched the back of his head, somewhat puzzled.

Is there any happy event in his family?

However, this girl has really bright eyes and is really pretty. Anyway, there shouldn't be many customers coming now, so why not tell the shopkeeper to go back early?

The waiter went in and asked for leave from the shopkeeper, asking to go back half an hour earlier, and the shopkeeper agreed.

The waiter hurried home.

His family is extremely poor, his parents are not in good health, and this winter is too cold. He has been worried recently that his father will not be able to survive this cold winter.

Because their quilt is a bit thin and old, my body is still cold every night when I sleep.

The waiter actually didn't believe what Lu Zhaoling said.

But he was also worried about his parents, so it would be nice to come back and see them sooner.

As soon as I got home, I heard loud crying inside.

The waiter was shocked.

The girl said it was a happy event, but why was there crying? The waiter thought his father had an accident, and his legs went limp with fear. He walked in holding onto the wall, only to see his parents and a man hugging each other and crying.

It turned out that this man was the elder brother who disappeared a few years ago!

He earned money outside and came home!

This time, the eldest brother came back with two full carts of things and gave him a silver ingot, asking him to go out and buy quilts, charcoal, food, and to get a jar of liquor from the employer.

The waiter came out dazed.

He really wanted to see that girl again! Why was she so amazing?

If someone says there is happy event in his family, then there really is happy event!

The waiter was still walking around in a daze of surprise and almost bumped into an old man who was walking quickly from a corner.

He was knocked to the ground, with his purchases scattered all over the floor.

When I looked up, I met a pair of sharp eyes.

He was startled.

Although this old man is old, he is tall and looks terrifying.

“I, I’m sorry…” Originally, it was the old man who suddenly strode out from the side, but facing his momentum, the waiter subconsciously apologized first.

"You are walking without eyes!"

Luo Yingchuan glanced at him, then saw the bag of charcoal scattered on the ground, and immediately picked it up quickly.

"Thank you very much..." The waiter thought he was going to clean up for him, but before he could finish his apology, the old man dropped a handful of copper coins.

"I want these charcoals. You can buy other ones."

After saying that, he left quickly.

"No, those are my charcoals!"

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up and shouted, "What you gave me is not enough! Go buy it yourself!"

But the old man walked very quickly and had already entered the alley ahead in the time it took him to finish these two sentences.

"You look like a foreigner, why aren't you going to the inn?" The waiter glanced at the alley he turned into.

That's definitely not the direction to the inn.

He really wanted to chase after him, but he still had to clean up the things on the ground.

He picked up a few copper coins and felt very sad.

The charcoal he had was worth more than just a few copper coins! Why was that old man acting like a bandit?

Besides, the place where charcoal is sold is the farthest from home. He had gone there with great difficulty to buy it and now it was dark. Should he go again?

So angry.

Today he met a very beautiful girl, and also met such an unreasonable and bully-like old man!

Lu Zhaoling and the others were already sitting in the tea shop.

Yin Yunting gave a brief account of the matter.

Lu Zhaoling looked at the two sisters.

There are not many customers here now, but with the arrival of this group of people, the shop suddenly becomes much more lively.

Xiaoou's uncle and aunt went to cook noodles for them.

Since they were guests, they were much more polite.

Doudou's eyes were red from crying, and she was eating a preserved plum.

Xiaoou looked at them and had calmed down a lot. Although he had been selling cakes at a very young age, he was not very introverted and could now answer their questions clearly.

It turned out that when Yin Yunting asked them before whether they had seen two old men from other places, the two sisters not only had they seen them.

"Doudou was scared because the old man told my uncle that he wanted to take us away and take us in as his apprentices."

"Doudou and I both thought he was a little scary. Doudou really disliked him and was afraid that my uncle would really sell us to him."

Yin Yunting took out a portrait.

"Is it this person?"

He had originally painted a portrait of Old Man Gong, so naturally he kept one of them on his body.

When Xiaoou saw the portrait, her face changed and she showed some fear.

"It's him."

She looked around nervously, wondering what these people were doing and why they had a portrait of that old man, and why it looked so like him!

It was the first time she had seen a painting that looked so much like the real person!

How was this drawn?

When Yin Yunting took the portrait, he deliberately held it sideways so that Doudou couldn't see it, and to prevent the little girl from being scared and crying again.

Hearing Xiaoou say this, Yin Yunting and Lu Zhaoling looked at each other.

"Where has he seen you? Why did he want to take you as his apprentice?"

"This is not the first time he has come here. The last time he came, he brought an older sister with him," Xiaoou said. "At that time, they bought sesame cakes from me, and the old man stared at me for a long time."

"Then the older sister asked him if he thought I was suitable. I didn't know what I was suitable for, but I thought he was a little scary."

The old man stared at her as if he wanted to tear her apart for research.

She was scared.

"The old man said that she was enough for him and he was not interested in taking on such a young apprentice now."

"But he came again this time, and this time the older sister was not with him. When he came, my uncle happened to be passing by to buy some wine, and he met him."
