Chapter 28 My Landlady
“He can’t stay here!”
"Mom, just rent him a room, even a basement. He is very pitiful. He has been framed and has no place to go."
"How much material did they give you to buy your dirty soul! You actually brought a stranger into your home!"
"A lot, I have to admit, but that's not the point... The point is that his uncle is in charge of logistics very close to the upper city. Those who are in charge of logistics are not small roles. As long as the younger brothers and sisters can have a good relationship with him, they can go there in the future. There will be people taking care of the development of Zhongcheng. This is an exchange, Mom!”
"They don't have to go to Midtown! Midtown is a prison that annihilates human nature! You have changed! Flower! You have changed!"
In the study room on the first floor of the small wooden building.
'Old Goat' Thomas was having a heated argument with the kind landlady.
Outside the wooden door with a few gaps, several children listened with their ears to what was going on in the study.
Wang Jixuan stood in the corner of this living room and dining room, waiting for his 'fate' with his hands behind his back.
He seemed a little lost in thought because of his rapid thoughts.
Qi;
Qi is the beginning of all things;
Qi will not lie;
Wang Jixuan will not admit his mistake about the Qi in Wen Heisen's body.
This old woman, Thomas's adoptive mother, had a touch of Wen Heisen's aura on her hands, and they had been in contact recently. This breath of energy is slowly dissipating. If he arrives here tomorrow, he may miss this key information.
However, this is the hinterland of Wanlijin Gang’s ‘Emerald Manor’.
Wanlijin and the Black Fire Gang were still exchanging fire sporadicly, and even when he and Thomas were riding in a car passing through the border between the two gangs' territories, they heard the sound of gunshots like fried beans.
Although the actual distance between the two gangs is not too far, there are large areas of continuous darkness.
But this old woman's body has begun to decay. There is no energy in her body. She is just an ordinary person. It is unlikely that she can climb over those ditches, barbed wire fences, and hidden mines.
Thomas' words echoed in Wang Jixuan's heart:
'They can expand their territory downwards and dig holes. ’
Dig a hole?
Wang Jixuan lowered his head and looked at his feet. He closed his eyes and sensed that ten meters below his feet, a two-meter-high arched tunnel gradually appeared.
It’s really authentic…
"Hello! My name is Ye Zi!"
A slender hand that was too white due to a long-term lack of light broke into Wang Jixuan's sight.
Wang Jixuan raised his eyes and saw a small, clean and smiling girl's face.
Thomas just introduced her, her name is Ye Zi, she is the eldest sister of this group of orphans. She is thirteen years old this year. She has just entered puberty and is already quite tall.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Tian."
Wang Jixuan smiled and shook his head: "Men and women cannot be intimate."
"Huh? What does that mean?"
Ye Zi blinked, looked Wang Jixuan up and down, and asked in a low voice: "Are you really from Zhongcheng?"
"Yes," Wang Jixuan responded softly.
"Are there lights everywhere in Midtown? Can you see light everywhere?"
"Absolutely," Wang Jixuan nodded in response, trying to appear more talkative, "but the lights in many places are at their lowest brightness and look a bit dim."
"That's much better than here. Many places are dark...Does Zhongcheng receive anti-darkness drugs and vitamins regularly?"
"Anti-dark medicines are received regularly, and vitamins must be purchased with quotas," Wang Jixuan explained, "and vitamins are classified as food quotas."
Ye Zi's little mouth let out a few words of unexplained praise.
Then, she wanted to warm up the conversation, but she couldn't find a suitable topic.
After a while, Ye Zi asked again: "Do you want to sit down and rest?"
"fine."
"Why did you come down here? Isn't Midtown great?"
"I was framed and offended the powerful," Wang Jixuan still remembered the script Thomas had given him.
Ye Zi whispered: "Wow, it's like offending the gangs here... I really hope you can stay."
Wang Jixuan was a little confused: "Why?"
"This way you can help me work together!"
Ye Zi said softly:
"I have to learn a lot of things every day, including arithmetic and world geography, cleaning the first and second floors, and helping my mother take care of several little ones. Bathing them is the most tiring thing.
"When I open my eyes, I have to do all kinds of things and can't go out to play."
She lowered her head and complained, her ponytail swaying slightly.
Wang Jixuan noticed that there was a barcode tattoo that was mostly worn off on the back of Ye Ye's neck.
He asked: "Can you introduce your adoptive mother?"
"Of course! Mom is the mother of all of us. She lived here a long time ago, before the Wanlijin Gang was established. She has helped more than three hundred children in total! More than three hundred!"
When Ye Zi talked about this, his eyes were a little bright, and he emphasized the quantity.
“Although she looks bad-tempered, she is actually very gentle at heart. When we are sick, she will stay up late and stay by our side.
"Before I was five or six years old, I was with the Black Fire Gang. I was treated like an animal and used as an organ reserve for the high-ranking officials in the upper city. If those old people's organs failed, my organs might be harvested.
"Later, during a gang conflict, people from Wanlijin rescued me...many of us were rescued.
"Look here, the barcode I have here is proof of the Black Fire Gang material. When I was a child, my mother used a lot of effort to wipe it off for me when I was taking a bath.
"Then, my mother raised me, taught me to read, and taught me a lot of principles of life. My mother often said that even if we are in the dark, we can't give up hope. As long as we keep holding hands, even if we are just one Even a weak individual can change the world step by step.”
Wang Jixuan nodded and raised his eyebrows: "That makes sense."
He glanced at the study, his eyes a little complicated.
A person's eyes cannot be deceiving. Ye Zi's eyes were pure and kind, and there was no evil spirit in his body.
The same is true for the elderly woman inside who has the aura of Wen Heisen. She has no evil spirit at all.
What is evil spirit?
In short, there will be evil spirits after killing people. When the malice emitted from the inside out is entangled with the resentment of the killed creature, evil spirits will be born.
Many magic arts specialize in cultivating evil spirits, and they also use evil spirits to refine some vicious magic weapons such as the Ten Thousand Soul Flags. He must be full of evil spirits now, but...it seems that only he can sense this thing.
——Daozhang Wang’s exclusive right of interpretation.
So, what exactly is going on? Who is this old woman?
"What did you do in Zhongcheng before?" Ye Zi asked in a low voice.
Wang Jixuan responded casually: "Assembly line worker."
"Then I'll call you Brother Tian," Zi Zi muttered, "I really hope Brother Hua can convince my mother that I really need a house help."
"Then you may not be able to satisfy me," Wang Jixuan said with a smile, "I may have to go out to work and earn some gang coins."
"No! Please!"
"I have to support myself."
The study door suddenly opened, and the few eavesdropping children suddenly jumped on their feet.
Thomas winked at Wang Jixuan: "It's done! You can live here! My mother will arrange a job for you later. She has many connections in the local area, but two-thirds of the supplies you earn must be used to buy supplies for the children. Food, okay?”
Wang Jixuan nodded immediately: "Okay, it's very nice here, and... very interesting."
Very good refers to the surrounding aura environment.
Interesting refers to the tunnel under your feet.
"Great!"
Ye Zi jumped up for joy.
Although most of the children didn't understand what was happening, the eldest sister's head had already started bouncing, and they jumped too.
"Commission completed! Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!"
Thomas cheered, pointed his two index fingers at Wang Jixuan, and then swung his sexy big butt towards the dining table, his body constantly swaying with the rhythm of his mouth.
You can tell that he is really relaxed here.
"Yi Zi, go fry me some donuts! I'll leave after I eat them!"
Ye Zi grabbed Wang Jixuan's arm, dragged him and ran to the kitchen next to him: "Go and help me! The rules of the kitchen are that those who work can take three bites!"
Wang Jixuan laughed dumbly.
She is so lively.
…
This was the first time Wang Jixuan had eaten a dessert made of pure flour since he came to this world.
The craftsmanship of Ye Zi is very good.
Thomas ate two donuts and left in a hurry. Something happened to his store in the pervert district of Happy City. It seemed like someone was going to cause trouble.
Thomas also needs to get back that flirtatious makeup on the way back.
While Daozhang Wang was tasting the fried desserts, the diligent little leaf had already brought several younger brothers and sisters aged eight or nine to help him clean the corner room on the second floor.
His room is opposite the rooms of several girls, so it is inevitable that there will be some noise on weekdays.
But fortunately, Wang Jixuan is not picky about this. He usually meditates instead of sleeping.
He is now very interested in the hostess here, the sixty-nine-year-old Kong Lianmei.
underground passage;
The kind old woman who has been living here and constantly rescuing orphans;
The third leader of the Black Fire Gang, the hidden psyker Wen Heisen's Qi.
What connection is hidden behind this?
His new room is not very big, only more than two meters long and wide. The roof slopes down from left to right, making it impossible to straighten one's back near the outer wall. A narrow single bed and a desk beside the bed have filled two-thirds of the space here.
There were several text posters hanging on the wall with the words 'T.E.R' written in big letters.
Wang Jixuan didn't know what these three letters meant.
From Ye Zi's nonstop chatter, he heard the appearance of the original owner of this room. He was a twenty-four-year-old boy who left this big family three years ago and went to the 46th floor. The Silver Party Gang worked for them. The last time they came back was half a year ago, and they brought them some cosmetics that were about to expire.
The bed was covered with clean old sheets, and the dim light on the desk was dying.
Wang Jixuan sat down and wanted to meditate to experience the speed of practice.
Before going to Thomas's tavern, he had already sent his luggage to the forty-ninth floor and hid it in an abandoned hut near the border of the Black Fire Gang's territory.
He planned to go there later to pick up some small items that would not attract the attention of others.
Boom!
There was a sound from the leaky door, and a big buling buling eye was looking longingly outside the crack of the door.
Wang Jixuan said: "Please come in."
Squeak——
Ye Zi jumped in with a few loose cotton and linen clothes, and placed these clothes and two pairs of patched cloth shoes on the bed.
"I saw that you had no luggage, so I helped you find clothes and shoes from your previous brothers. They should be about the same size as yours. If they are too small, I will change them! There are a lot of them in the basement."
Ye Zi warned: "But you have to take care of them. After you leave, I will clean them and put them away."
Wang Jixuan smiled knowingly: "Thank you very much."
"Hehe, then you rest, I'm going to give the little ones a bath first."
Ye Zi waved his hand, swung his ponytail slightly, and left quickly.
‘What a cute little girl. ’
Wang Jixuan simply commented in his heart that it was really rare to see such a young girl with such a spirit in this world.
I just don't know how long Xiao Yezi's agility can be preserved.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knocking on the wall at the door.
He felt again...that wisp of Qi that was about to dissipate.
