Ma Yu saw the figure squatting there without moving and looking towards his room. He immediately turned off the oil lamp and whispered to Yao Yan, "I'll go out and have a look."

Yao Yan got out of bed and grabbed his wrist, "I'll go with you, what if he murders himself for money?"

So the two of them walked there lightly together, but luckily Ma Yu didn't close the door of the main room before entering the room, which allowed them to gently push open the door of the main room and go out in the dark.

When they were not far away from that person, Yao Yan and Ma Yu heard each other whistle.

Yao Yan always felt a little familiar.

Before I could recall it, I heard that person whisper again, "Brother Yao~"

Yao Yan: ...

Ma Yu:? ? ?

He held Yao Yan's hand back, gritted his teeth and asked, "Who is he?"

Yao Yan felt a little guilty, "...Um, well, Brother Ma, you light the lamp, I'll go and catch him."

After finishing speaking, Yao Yan was going to grab the person who was about to scream again, not wanting Ma Yu to let go of his hand without saying a word, and appear fiercely behind that person like a hill.

"Why are you looking for him?"

The man froze, but he didn't expect to be found. Just as he was about to slip away, Ma Yu grabbed him by the collar and dragged him directly into the main room. At this time, Yao Yan had already lit the oil lamp, and the light also dragged Ma Yu over. The person's appearance was photographed.

"...Xiao Shanzi," Yao Yan's mouth twitched slightly, looking at the embarrassed young man in front of him. Xiao Shanzi was a younger brother who had been with the original owner not long ago. He was from the next village. Father, no, when Xiao Shanzi was eight years old, his mother left, and his father found a widow the next year, and the widow was upbeat, and gave birth to a son the second year after entering the house.

The little Shanzi born by the ex-mother naturally became a thorn in the eyes of the stepmother, and it was common for him not to be fed and clothed. Shanzi's father was really fond of his little son, so he just turned a blind eye.

Xiao Shanzi was forced to be a gangster, but also to have enough food, not to suffer from the family's crimes, and at that time the original owner wanted to accept the younger brother, no, Xiao Shanzi himself sent it to the door.

"Brother Yao!" Xiao Shanzi looked at Yao Yan with tears in his eyes, and wanted to run over, but he was pulled by his collar and couldn't move at all, so he could only helplessly say to Yao Yan, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I thought Something happened to you."

Yao Yan winked at Ma Yu, Ma Yu let go of his hand expressionlessly, and Xiao Shanzi immediately hid behind Yao Yan, despite Xiao Shanzi's big head, he was actually only 15 years old. child.

"I can have an accident, but you, how did you find this?"

Xiao Shanzi glanced at Ma Yu secretly, "I originally went there to look for you, but the house was gone, and someone from the nearby family came out, so I asked, and they showed me the way."

Yao Yan was a little helpless, "Then you just knock on the door, why do you climb over the wall and come in?"

Fortunately, Ma Yu didn't punch him.

Xiao Shanzi didn't dare to look at Ma Yu anymore. He touched his nose and whispered, "Isn't this unfamiliar?"

In other words, shouldn't it be better to knock on the door if you are not familiar with it?

Ma Yu put his arms around his chest, and looked coldly at Xiao Shanzi who was peeking at him, "No matter what, you can't climb over the courtyard wall of others. If Sanlang is not here, you will be turned away by me as a thief to the village chief. At that time, have you ever thought about what will happen to you?"

Xiao Shanzi really didn't think about it. He had been learning from the original bishop these days that if he can climb over the wall, don't go through the gate. After he got used to it, and it was midnight, he naturally climbed in.

"I, I didn't want to steal anything, I just came to look for Third Brother Yao."

Xiao Shanzi's voice became smaller and smaller.

At this time, Yao Yan also recalled the crooked ways of the former bishop Xiaoshanzi, and he blushed a little, "Apologize to Brother Ma quickly, and don't make an exception."

"Brother Ma, I was wrong, I don't dare to do it again," Xiao Shanzi paused, and then said, "There will be no next time."

I will not climb over the wall of this family in the future.

Ma Yu nodded slightly, Yao Yan looked up and down Xiaoshanzi, and found that Xiaoshanzi was a bit embarrassed and dirty, "You were kicked out again?"

Xiao Shanzi scratched his head, "It's been raining heavily for the past few days, the firewood house can't live in people, and my little brother and I are not allowed to huddle together in the same room. I was really cold, so I came out."

Yao Yan sighed, and Ma Yu pursed his lips. There was no room left in his house, but this Xiaoshanzi obviously came to seek refuge with Yao Yan.

"Let's just make do with it for one night, and we'll talk about it tomorrow if we have something to do."

Finally, Ma Yu brought a quilt and asked Xiao Shanzi to sleep on the bench for the whole night.

"Sorry……"

The two walked into the room, Yao Yan who saw Ma Yu closing the door said softly.

"It's nothing, it's getting late, let's rest."

In fact, Ma Yu didn't feel much sleepiness at all, but Yao Yan had to go to Buzhuang tomorrow to get a good rest.

At this time, after Xiao Shanzi lay down, he sat up abruptly: Why does Brother Yao and Brother Ma live in the same room?

The next day, when Ma Yu got up, Xiao Shanzi was cleaning the yard. Seeing him, Xiao Shanzi smiled big, "Morning, Brother Ma!"

Ma Yu: "...Morning."

The so-called stretch out your hand does not hit the smiling face.

When Father Ma woke up, he heard voices in the yard. At first he thought it was Ma Yu, but he didn't know he had guessed the wrong person until Xiao Shanzi greeted Ma Yu.

"That is?"

Father Ma got up and went out, just in time to meet Ma Yu who was going to the kitchen, Ma Yu lowered his eyes, "The one from the next village is called Xiaoshanzi."

"From the next village?"

Father Ma was taken aback, and when he wanted to ask, it sounded like Yao Yan was talking to Xiao Shanzi, but he seemed happier than talking to Ma Yu, and he immediately understood.

"I'm also renting at Brother Ma's house now. The house has collapsed and I have no place to live." Yao Yan was very ashamed when he thought of what the original owner had taught him indiscriminately. "You are young, don't learn the bad things from me before, Do you want to learn a craft?"

Xiao Shanzi's eyes lit up, "Think about it!"

"Then you go to the town with me. There is an old carpenter who just wants to take in a young apprentice, but he is very selective. You have to try it yourself to know if you can keep it."

"it is good!"

Xiao Shanzi nodded sharply.

Compared with climbing over the wall, learning craft is more useful.

After eating, the three of them walked to the town. The old carpenter and Yao Yan met in Buzhuang. At that time, seeing that he could speak well, they mentioned that they wanted to take an apprentice, but the people who came to him from relatives and friends were very angry. No suitable candidates.

After arriving in the town, Yao Yan first took Xiao Shanzi to the old carpenter's place. Whether he could stay or not was up to his own luck.

Then, Yao Yan went to the cloth village. The shopkeeper Wang had just arrived, and the boy and Yao Yan arrived at the shop almost at the same time.

"How are you at home?"

In fact, shopkeeper Wang just asked casually. The boy naturally said that the family is fine, and his family is indeed fine, and nothing has been lost, but Yao Yan is miserable.

He talked about the situation at home with red eyes, "...there are only two clothes left, and the rest has been washed away. I am still renting at Brother Ma's house. I can only build a house when I have time and money."

The boy and shopkeeper Wang looked at him sympathetically.

Then, he said a few words of comfort dryly.

When it was time to eat at noon, shopkeeper Wang called Yao Yan aside, "Why don't you live in the shop, which is closer, and just pay one hundred Wen a month."

Ma Yu happened to hear this when he came out. He looked at shopkeeper Wang with a dark face. Yao Yan turned his back to him but didn't see it. He just smiled and said, "I also have a companion with Brother Ma. He treats me very well, shopkeeper." I appreciate your kindness, and now I just want to sell the cloth and clothes, and I can start building a house when I have enough money."

Shopkeeper Wang glanced at Ma Yu behind him, smiled and said nothing more.

As soon as Yao Yan turned around, he faced Ma Yu, "Brother Ma?"

Ma Yu hummed, "Noodles or wontons?"

"I want to eat pancakes." Yao Yan wanted to eat something dry.

Ma Yu nodded again, and before walking a few steps, Xiao Shanzi approached with a smile, "I was accepted by the master, and I will live in the shop from now on, Brother Yao, Brother Ma, we will all be in the town from now on. "

Yao Yan was naturally happy when Xiaoshanzi was accepted. When the old carpenter talked to him, he felt that the old carpenter was a talker. Xiaoshanzi was a quick learner. climb.

So what was supposed to be a two-person trip for lunch became a three-person trip.

Ma Yu looked at the two talking and laughing, biting the pancake in his hand resentfully, and when he heard Xiao Shanzi say that he would invite Yao Yan to dinner, he thought he could invite Yao Yan to dinner.

After eating, Xiao Shanzi hurried back. Actually, he didn't have to eat outside at noon, but he came here to tell Yao Yan the good news that he was left behind. Naturally, he would eat at the carpenter's shop to save money.

Apprentices don't get paid, but food and housing are included, which is already very good for Xiao Shanzi.

When work was over in the evening, shopkeeper Wang gave Yao Yan a small bundle. When he got home, he opened it and saw that there were two coats inside, with some flaws, but they were better than the one with patches.

"The shopkeeper Wang is very nice."

Seeing Ma Yu frown, Yao Yanqing coughed.

Ma Yu stepped forward, picked up the two clothes and checked them repeatedly, and finally looked at Yao Yan dryly and said, "I'd better wash them before wearing them."

Yao Yan held back his laugh, "Okay."

Ma Yu took it away, and after a few days, Yao Yan remembered the two clothes and asked Ma Yu, Ma Yu smiled, took out two new clothes from the cabinet and handed them to Yao Yan.

"When I was washing clothes, I used too much force and accidentally ruined them. You know that I am not good at sewing clothes, so I simply bought you two ready-made clothes. If you don't tell me, I forgot. Come and try."

The corners of Yao Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at the clothes in Ma Yu's hands, "Isn't this clothes cheap?"

"It's cheap, I even bought two for dad," Ma Yu said with a smile.

He carved a trinket and sold it for a good price, which happened to buy these four pieces of clothing.

After Yao Yan learned about the source of the money for the clothes from the system, he let out a shallow breath and took the clothes, "I wash it before I wear it?"

"I, I've already washed it," Ma Yuqing coughed.

After Yao Yan took a look at the clothes, he joked, "This clothes are much better than the material that shopkeeper Wang gave, and it won't break easily when washed."

"……yes."

Ma Yu looked at the roof.
