Chapter 171

Li Linfeng's wine was not in vain.

While the wine was in full swing, Shi Chongji had already taken the initiative to tell a secret story from 20 years ago.

This anecdote is naturally about the Mo family, and it is also about the Mo family's direct line.

Before telling this secret, even though Shi Chongji was already half drunk, he still lowered his voice subconsciously, and scanned the surroundings with vigilant eyes, making sure that no one noticed him before speaking.

After listening to the anecdote he told, Li Linfeng's heart was shaken. While he understood some things, he also had some new doubts.

In order to find out thoroughly, he simply called the boss to pay the bill, and then helped Shi Chongji, who was about to die of drunkenness, get up and leave.

After leaving the tavern, being blown by the night wind, Shi Chongji's drunkenness subsided a little, and he squinted his eyes and asked, "Feng... Brother Feng, where are you... taking me?"

Li Linfeng didn't stop on his feet, and replied: "Brother Shi, you've already drunk too much, my little brother will take you to the inn to have a rest."

"Go...go...go to an inn! Go back...back to my house!" Shi Chongji waved his hands carelessly, and shouted loudly: "Don't...don't waste money, if you have the money to stay in an inn, it's... not as much Treat me to two jugs of wine!"

Li Linfeng was a little dumbfounded, but he didn't want to go against his will, so he put his arms up and asked as he walked, "Brother Shi, where do you live?"

"My family... my family..." The expression on Shi Chongji's face suddenly froze, and he kept repeating the word 'my family' in his mouth. He didn't come back to his senses until Li Linfeng couldn't help but want to ask again. As if crying and laughing: "I don't have a home at all! Since that year, I have no home at all! All these years, I have lived in a dilapidated cave dwelling in the west of the city! !"

After he finished speaking, he burst into tears, murmuring something with snot and tears.

Fortunately, it was already close to the time of Haishi, and there was no one to be seen on the street outside. Otherwise, Shi Chongji's performance would definitely attract many people to watch.

Li Linfeng wiped off his cold sweat, raised his hand without saying a word, and slashed at the back of Shi Chongji's neck with a hand knife, directly slashing him until he rolled his eyes, his body fell limply, and he passed out directly.

After a little identification of the direction, he held Shi Chongji in his hand and rushed towards the west of the city.

Along the way, I almost bumped into the Mo family's patrolling guards several times—yes, in Dongyue City, it wasn't the sergeants who patrolled at night, but the Mo family's guards.

Fortunately, Li Linfeng had a system mini-map available, so he avoided it in advance along the way, but he didn't encounter any trouble, and he arrived at the dilapidated cave dwelling that Shi Chongji mentioned.

Dongyue City, like any other city, has both magnificent places like Mo Mansion and dilapidated cave dwellings that are at the opposite extremes of Mo Mansion.

There is no need to elaborate on the environment near the dilapidated cave dwelling, in short, it fully meets any definition of 'slums'.

Li Linfeng carried the unconscious Shi Chongji into the pitch-black dilapidated cave dwelling, feeling the darkness and throwing him on the bed.

The so-called bed is actually made of four legs built with a few bricks against the wall, and an irregular wooden plank is placed on top of it. It cannot be more rudimentary.

After the transcript (téng) made his move, Li Linfeng took out the torch, put it in front of his mouth and blew it, and with a sound of hoo, the fire lit up.

After searching around for a while, Li Linfeng was also drunk—the cave dwelling was empty, not even a candle or oil lamp!
In other words, as long as Shi Chongji who lives here comes back here every night, except for sleeping, he can only do things in the dark.

At the level of a martial artist, it is true that the energy in the eyes can better strengthen the night vision ability, but there is a limit to that.

The four sides of this dilapidated cave dwelling are sealed, and there is no light at all. No matter how round the moon is at night, no matter how bright the moonlight is, there is no way to let in light.

Sighing helplessly, Li Linfeng had no choice but to buy an ordinary oil lamp from the system store with a little experience point out of his own pocket.

After lighting up the oil lamp, the dilapidated cave dwelling suddenly lit up—the oil lamp produced by the system not only saves fuel, but also has more light than ordinary oil lamps, and is not dazzling.

Seeing the dust and rubbish in the room, Li Linfeng shook his head helplessly. It seems that Shi Chongji is quite powerful to live in such a place.

If it were him, he could barely accept it occasionally under such conditions for a night, but after a long time, he would definitely collapse.

Even if it doesn't collapse, it will definitely find a way to tidy up this place, not to mention how beautifully it is decorated, but at least it must be tidy.

In such a huge cave dwelling, except for this thing that can barely be called a 'bed', there is only a large pile of hay, and there is not even a table, chair and cabinet in sight.

A few pieces of worn-out clothes were scattered randomly on the hay. They were not too dirty, and traces of starching and washing could be vaguely seen, but because of the age, the edges of the clothes were already a little open, revealing There are threads of different lengths on the outside.

This should be about all of Shi Chongji's property.

Li Linfeng is not a particularly soft-hearted person, nor does he always have sympathy.

But at this moment, he felt a sense of sympathy for no reason, Shi Chongji's life is really too hard!

The point is, it's not that Shi Chongji is incapable. With his strength as a martial artist in the Gathering Soul Realm, no matter how bad he is, he can still find a job as a housekeeper to support himself.

However, from Shi Chongji's self-report, it is not difficult to find that this person does not seem to have such a plan, but has been relying on odd jobs to earn money. The most common thing he does every day is go to the tavern to drink - even if the money he earns is only Enough to make him drink a dime.

Li Linfeng is [-]% sure that there is definitely a story about this person. Although he still doesn't know what caused Shi Chongji to fall into this fate, he has already made a decision. If conditions permit, he must change Shi Chongji's life. This state of life!
Looking at Shi Chongji who was sleeping soundly on the bed without any bedding, Li Linfeng pondered for a while, and then directly exchanged ten experience points for a hangover soup from the system store.

Just now he chose 'exchange', he just felt his palm sink suddenly, and a very ordinary teacup appeared out of nowhere.

He brought the tea cup to his eyes and saw that it was full of a dark red liquid, which smelled very fragrant.

Anyway, it was produced by the system, and it would never deceive anyone. He didn't bother to check whether the liquid was safe, so he squeezed Shi Chongji's chin open and poured the liquid into it.

After a while, Shi Chongji coughed a few times and woke up.
