Data Wasteland

In the next few days, Chen Xing went to the butler's center to drink tea every day, but never met a suitable one.

In fact, the housekeepers here are good, and there are even some who have served the nobles. Both their words and deeds and their treatments are very good, and they can't fault them. But Chen Xing always felt that they were like a deep pool, silent and calm, not bottoming out, and unable to see the depths of their hearts.

Because they don’t understand, they cannot be trusted. In this embarrassing situation, Chen Xing thought of Lao Ji. In any case, Lao Ji has also lived in Binglan City, and may be able to provide some advice.

"Look for a housekeeper?" Lao Ji was very excited when he heard Chen Xing's request, "I happen to have a personal choice here!"

"Who?" Chen Xing asked.

"An old friend who worked as a housekeeper for a large family, but now he has no job." Old Ji said.

"That's okay, take it over and take a look." Chen Xing said.

"This..." But at this moment, Old Ji hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Chen Xing asked.

"He, he didn't take the initiative to look for a job, maybe, maybe you want you to come personally..." Old Ji said embarrassedly.

Chen Xing couldn't help frowning. There was no reason for the boss to come to ask employees. Then he remembered the allusion of visiting the cottage. Whether he didn't come to the door, it depends on the talent, so he asked, "Is it worth it?"

"Worthy, absolutely worth it! Decent, kind-hearted, a good person, but not very lucky..."

"Tell me about his situation." Chen Xing said.

"He was my playmate when I was a kid, and his nickname was Old K, because he looks a lot like the old K in playing cards, tall and square."

"Old K is an orphan. The cleaner on the street picked it up and raised it, and lived on the same street as me. He served as a soldier and fought at war, and then went to the Polly family."

"After returning, I heard that the Polly family was destroyed by Dongfang Xuanyuan, and his wife and daughter were insulted in the street. I was worried about his safety, so I wanted to go back to Ice Blue City."

"Under normal circumstances, disputes between lords will not affect the servants. A few days ago, I found his address through the butler center. However, his current situation is not very good, and the young lady of the Polly family is the one who brought him up. When such a thing happened, he was very distressed and depressed."

"Hmm..." Chen Xing pondered for a moment and agreed to go to K's residence.

In any case, such people are at least affectionate and righteous. Moreover, the other party is a friend of Lao Ji, and it can be regarded as knowing the roots.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xing brought the two maids and Lao Ji to the apartment in Tianshui Lane.

Wherever there are slums, even the ice blue city like a dream castle. Tianshui Lane is the slum area of ​​Ice Blue City, but it looks better than the residential areas of many big cities.

Quiet and elegant, clean and tidy, flowers are planted everywhere

The grass is full of peaceful breath of life.

However, apartment 402 exudes a stale atmosphere, dark and obscure, as if the place where dying people live.

When I first saw Old K, Old K's spirit was not very good. He was sitting on the edge of the bed with a huge body, looking at the wooden figure in his hand in a daze. The puppets are not well carved and the craftsmanship is rough, but it can be seen that they are a girl.

Old K was more than two meters tall, a full head taller than Chen Xing, his face was square, his beard covered half of his face, and he couldn't see his face clearly. The gray hair is long and messy, and it hasn't been combed for a long time, like a grass nest. Seeing Chen Xing come, he just nodded, not too enthusiastic.

"Old K, this is Mr. Chen Xing, who has just won the title of Baron, very powerful." Old Ji patted Old K on the shoulder and introduced.

"Hello, sir." After a while, Old K withdrew his gaze from the puppet and greeted Chen Xing with a slow response.

"Who is she?" Chen Xing pointed to the puppet in Old K's hand and asked.

"She..." Old K's eyes were out of focus, and he didn't seem to understand Chen Xing's words.

"My lord is asking you, who is this carving in your hand." Lao Ji repeated.

"Ashahi, my poor Ashahi." Old K squirmed his lips, as if talking to himself.

"Ashahi Polly, the eldest lady of the Polly family, she was brought up by Old K since she was a child, just like..." At this point, Lao Ji's expression was a little unbearable, "Like his daughter..."

"Is she alive now?" Chen Xing asked.

"Alive, but..." Lao Ji hesitated for a while, looked at Lao K with his head down several times, and finally sighed, "It's probably more miserable than death."

After a long silence, Chen Xing pressed Old K's shoulder and said, "Friend, as long as she is still alive, there is hope."

Old K raised his head, his eyes were hollow and out of focus, "No, it's impossible..." He shook his head to himself, as if he had lost all hope.

"In this case, forget it, I don't want to waste it." After speaking, Chen Xing turned and left without pause. Ye Qian and Li Mei turned their heads sympathetically, took a few glances, and followed their master downstairs.

As soon as I walked to the front hall, there was a sound of banging and touching from upstairs, and then I saw Old K crawling down, his eyes opened like copper bells, staring at Chen Xing, and he was quiet for a long time, between his teeth. Squeeze out a few words, "Can you save her?"

"No." Chen Xing shook his head.

The spark in Old K's eyes quickly extinguished.

"But..." Chen Xing paused, "If the opportunity is right, I can give a sum of money to try to redeem her." Afraid of the other party's misunderstanding, he emphasized again, "It is only done under the premise of not affecting my interests. try."

He is just a guardian baron, the lowest nobleman, although he has some money in his pocket, but

Not so arrogant enough to dare to fight against the Duke of Zilan, it is no different from seeking one's own death.

Old K stared into Chen Xing's eyes, as if to see something in his eyes. After being silent for a long time, Old K smashed the wooden handrail as if he had made up his mind, "Okay, I'll go with you!"

"Hahaha, great, old k, we can be partners again!" Seeing old k promised, old Ji thumped each other's shoulder with excitement.

"Old friend, help me sort out my hair." Old K asked.

"Okay!" Old Ji yelled, and rushed into Old K's room excitedly, looking for tools for haircuts.

After a while, in the small garden downstairs, Old K was sitting on a wooden chair, and Old Ji tied the torn curtain cloth on him, and used a razor to trim his gray hair little by little. Ye Qian held the towel, and Li Mei stood by with the basin.

Taking advantage of the gap at this moment, Chen Xing checked old K's information.

...

Old K's attributes and skills are quite good. He has elite-level strength and a strong sense of service. The psionic shield is different from the psionic armor, which can protect the third party.

"Wow!"

Ye Qian's exclamation pulled Chen Xing's thoughts back. Looking up, an old face with strong lines appeared in the line of sight.

Like a sword that washes away the dust, it shines again. I saw Old K had his head straight, his beard was neatly trimmed, his eyebrows were thick, his eyes were deep, his seriousness was gentle, and he was unspeakably calm and handsome.

"My lord, I just made you laugh."

Old K untied the cloth on his body, stood up straight, and saluted Chen Xing solemnly.

"It's okay, I'll be my own in the future." Chen Xing stretched out his hand.

Old K clasped his hands together, his palms were broad and warm, somewhat similar to Tienuo.
