Bulwark of Light

Chapter 90 The Old Town Story
"Going to the toilet... why can't I even see a person?"

Twenty minutes later, Gu Shen realized something was wrong.

He went to the toilet to make sure that Song Ci had urinated and fled, but there was no one there.

"Is this immoral bastard bullying me, a foreigner?"

Gu Shen was so angry that he gritted his teeth, went back to the noodle shop to pay, and saw the tall and thin boss, with a towel hanging around his neck, sitting in front of a wooden bench, smiling and looking into the distance. This sitting position seems to have been around for a long time.

"Boss, checkout."

The tall and thin boss turned a blind eye when he heard the voice, but slowly moved his head to look at Gu Shen, smiled and nodded.

This boss...seems... not very wise?
"Two big bowls, add meat, eggs, and dried stew, right? 36, including wine, a total of 44, no credit for small business." There was a sound of pedaling downstairs from the second floor of the small shop, and the proprietress was in a hurry. Lou, looking at the empty seat, frowned and said: "You are a friend brought by the crow, this kid ran away alone after eating?"

again?
Gu Shen was startled, isn't it the first time to dare to love this kind of thing?

"Old Xu! Remember! Let the crow pay first before eating next time!" The proprietress yelled loudly while cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks. The tall and thin boss still pressed his hands on his knees, sitting on the saddle like a primary school student, and looked into the distance with a smile. Slowly nodded.

The proprietress finished it neatly, brought the big bowl into the kitchen, and explained to Gu Shen lightly: "Forgive me, Lao Xu's brain is not very good."

Gu Shen immediately understood.

After thinking about it again, he suddenly understood another meaning of the few words Song Ci said to him...

"He didn't run away, he just had a temporary business, so he left first." Gu Shen said softly.

The proprietress who was washing dishes in the kitchen looked at Gu Shen in surprise after hearing the words.

The young man standing outside was clean and neatly dressed, and he seemed to know that he was not the same as the crow.

She wiped her hands on the apron and said, "You are the first to speak for him. How long have you just known each other? One day?"

"..." Gu Shen thought for a while, and said awkwardly, "Including this meal, it's a full budget, two hours."

"Then don't believe his nonsense, and don't treat him as a friend." The proprietress wrote lightly: "The crow has no friends, and there is no truth in his mouth... A good boy like you should not walk with him. Anyone who is with him will be unlucky."

Gu Shen was silent for a while and then asked softly, "Then... the girl Xiao Lu he just mentioned, is it true or not?"

"Little Lu?"

The proprietress smiled, "Little Lu is real, isn't he very acquainted with taking out photos from his wallet to show you off, and bragging that Miss Lu is his girlfriend?"

Gu Shen scratched his head, only then did he feel that he was actually cheated, thinking that he had at least had a drink with the crow, but he didn't even see Xiao Lu's photo.

"Fucking girlfriend, can Xiao Lu fall in love with him?" The proprietress raised her eyebrows, and said with a sneer, "I've been playing for a few years since I was a kid, and I've been bragging about him everywhere, Song Ci knows he's a toad whenever he pees and looks in the mirror." , how can he be worthy of Xiao Lu? Everyone in Batiao Street can tell that he is secretly in love with others, and he is blowing up when he drinks too much, so only Old Xu will believe such nonsense."

Speaking of which, I got angry.

The proprietress slapped Lao Xu on the head.

"When you mention him, get angry!" She reprimanded viciously, "Don't let crows in the door next time!"

Old Xu nodded aggrievedly, "The crow...isn't bad."

"No, no, no!" The proprietress was so angry, she tapped her fingers on the forehead again, and Lao Xu was beaten so much that he picked up a pony and tied it upside down on his head, and ran away far away.

Gu Shen watched this scene, annoyed and funny.

"Xiao Lu is not here."

The proprietress sighed softly, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and babbled: "That little girl Bingxue is smart and good-looking, but a little withdrawn and stubborn, but no matter how you look at it, you can tell that she is not a child that our old city can cultivate, nor is she a child. I know what her family thinks, and they have fostered such a beautiful girl here alone for two years."

"What's Xiao Lu's name?" Gu Shen asked curiously.

"Little Lu's name..."

Hearing this question, the proprietress was a little dazed. After thinking for a while, she shook her head, "Everyone calls her Xiao Lu, but we only know her surname Lu. No one knows her name, her parents, why did she come here?" , why did you leave?"

The proprietress leaned against the window, looking lazily at the sun shining on the mottled alley walls of the old city, "But we all know...she will leave, this is not the place for her to stay."

……

……

"Hey."

Song Ci shaved his teeth and lazily connected the phone.

"Crow, where are you?"

The voice of the woman on the other end of the phone was full of anger, "If you have the guts to cause trouble, don't go missing! Give you another hour, and don't force me to use the 'Soul Eye' to find you!"

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

"Sister Liu, calm down, the fire will seriously hurt your body."

After Crow finished listening, his expression was still calm, and he said with a smile, "But beating Chen San's precious nephew, isn't it a big trouble?"

Liu Yi suppressed his anger, and said coldly: "It was just a beating? You broke eight of his ribs, and half his life was sent to Lord Hades. The Nantang used the holy relics of redemption to hang him once." Tone. Now the whole Nantang is looking for you, Chen San is very angry now, saying that he will peel your skin."

"It's so scary..." The crow laughed and said, "You're going to peel off my skin, how dare I show up?"

Liu Yi was silent for a while.

"This matter...you have to explain to Chen San." She sighed weakly.

"Confession? It's Chen San's nephew who wants to make gestures, so I'll do it." Song Ci shrugged and said indifferently: "Who knew he was so impatient, I only punched him, and he fell down." It's...it can't be Pengci, right?"

"It was agreed before that there is a boundary between the north and the south, which cannot be crossed. If someone wants to cross the line, I will follow the rules... Now I beat the young one and offended the old one. I want to give an explanation, can I What should I explain? I just follow the rules set by Mr. Zhao and him.” The crow suddenly lowered his voice, and said with a smile, “Why don’t you ask Chen San if you dare not bring that title to Jiangxi? Tan, I will definitely show up and give him an explanation in person."

Liu Yi didn't dare to answer the words anymore, the crow's tone already had some desperate ferocity.

"Let me pick it up."

A slightly gloomy voice sounded.

"Yes……"

Liu Yi transferred the phone, and the voice was replaced by a man, who sounded young, but not young, about 30, gloomy and angry.

"Crow...I'm negotiating business with the Chen family."

"You beat someone, what do you want me to do?" The man reprimanded in a low voice, "You are a stinky runner, can you afford the loss of the Zhao family?"

"Ah... so it's Zhao Qi, Mr. Zhao."

After the crow heard the voice, he smiled brightly, "Long time no see, long time no see, you haven't continued to spend and drink outside these days, have you switched to business?"

Zhao Qi hummed coldly: "You show up now, everything still needs to be discussed."

"I didn't realize that you still have a talent for doing business...and you're still doing business with the Chen family. It's really a big deal." Crow interrupted him, and then asked with a smile, "In the name of flowers?"

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

"This matter... Did the old man nod? Did Mr. Cui agree? What about her?" The smile on the crow's face disappeared in an instant, showing no respect for the only son of the Zhao Consortium, and finally said coldly: " As you said, I am a stinking errand... But the person I am running errands is not you, I only listen to Madam."

Paused.

"So... your business is ruined," Song Ci said with a blank expression, "It's none of my business?"

hang up.

Ring again.

Don't even look at it, then hang up.

Shut down by the way.

Song Ci felt that the whole world was clean. He randomly turned over a fence, found an abandoned rooftop where no one lived, moved a dilapidated rattan chair, and just lay there in the midday sun, lazily humming a little song , closed his eyes and rested his mind, but his eyebrows were faintly frowned, and his heart was still haunted by inexplicable irritability.

I don't know how long it took.

The sunlight moved from his face to his feet.

The blazing temperature seemed to drop.

Song Ci woke up in a restless state with her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes, and was instantly refreshed.

A large umbrella was opened to cover the sun, and the umbrella was held by a beautiful woman in a white dress. She was full of jewels and had a sacred aura that could only be seen from a distance but not profane.

Song Ci shook his head.

"lady……"

He quickly sat up from the recliner and spoke softly.

Who would have believed that this man, who was extremely guilty at the moment, was a ruthless person who dared to scold Zhao Qi directly on the phone.

The lady is holding an umbrella, standing on the dilapidated roof, which has long been abandoned and abandoned, with mechanical components piled up in a mess, outdated old-age electrical appliances, the only thing that can be seen are the scattered pots of greenery. Planted, living stubbornly in the wind and rain, but it has also sprouted spider webs.

Because of Madam's arrival, the dilapidated rooftop seems to have a special beauty to enjoy, and these dilapidated components and machinery seem to have become ingenious decorations.

"Send someone to pick you up, but you don't want to come, and call, but you don't want to answer."

There was no anger in her eyes, but peace.

"So I can only come in person."

Crow quickly turned on the phone and saw a series of dial numbers popping up behind him. He said helplessly, "It's because of Zhao Qi and Liu Yi..."

"Well, I know everything, you don't need to say any more."

Madam said softly: "The matter has been settled."

"……what?"

The crow was startled, he was suddenly at a loss, and stared blankly at the lady who was as white as moonlight.Only now did he realize that he might have really caused trouble, and he said nervously, "I just wanted to hide for a while...how did the matter get resolved?"

"Because of the transgression, Chen San personally apologized, but Zhao Qi's business has also declined." Madam said lightly, "During this period, the relationship between the North and the North Halls will be tense, try not to show your face, Zhao Qi I'll take care of it over there, he doesn't dare to embarrass you."
