Chapter 105 The kind old lady

“Have you lived enough?”

When Jiang Shouzhong said this, his fist hit Nalanye’s abdomen.

Nalan Xie's body hit the wall with a solid 'bang' sound, and his body instantly bowed down, like a shrimp, holding his stomach, and the blood rushed to his cheeks and turned red.

"You...your uncle's..."

After regaining his breath, he looked up at Jiang Shouzhong and said aggrievedly: "My injury has not healed yet, can't you be gentler?"

Seeing Jiang Shouzhong staring at him like a hawk, walking towards him with clenched fists, Na Lan Xie said helplessly: "That bitch is just like that woman who hides her beauty in the golden house. She doesn't listen to my orders. I can only make her feel more comfortable if I take off my clothes. At other times, I am her little brother! You didn't listen." Was she going to blind me just now? What can I do?"

Nalan Xie rubbed his belly and straightened up, "I really have something important to discuss with you today. Boss Li, something happened to her family, so she won’t be able to come these days.”

Jiang Shouzhong paused, frowned and asked, “What happened to her family?”

Jiang Shouzhong? The first thing that came to mind was that someone was doing something secretly.

After all, Li Nanshuang was going to drop the case of tracing the evil spirits, but once he left, there was absolutely no movement. It was difficult not to make people suspect that there was something inside.

Nalanxie bared his teeth and sat back on the chair. Seeing that the two daughters had already rushed out of the house, he said: "Her second uncle had something happen to him in Qingzhou, so he went to Qingzhou. He won't be here for a while. Come back. In addition, Uncle Li has postponed the case of searching for evil spirits that was assigned to you. This time I am here to persuade you that we should work together to take on the case of searching for evil spirits."

After hearing Nalanye's explanation, Jiang Shouzhong's tense mood eased slightly.

It seems that Li Nanshuang did rush to Qingzhou because of something going on at home, rather than someone in the capital deliberately causing trouble.

"Why did you come to discuss it with me?" Jiang Shouzhong asked.

At this time, Xia He and A Qing in the courtyard were still fighting fiercely. Although A Qing's cultivation level was slightly higher, Xia He's desperate fighting style restored the disadvantage every time.

Nalan Xie said angrily: "Uncle Li is gone, you have the final say in Fenglei Hall. Do you still need to ask? The above has already acquiesced, so I just came to find you." 
Jiang Shouzhong shook his head, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in looking for evil spirits. I just want you to get out of the house. Oh, by the way, you have to pay for the damage to my house."

"These are all trivial matters."

Nalanye took out two ingots of gold and threw them on the table, patiently trying to persuade him, "Brother Jiang, I am not threatening you with what I say next, I am just telling you. You know, the two rabbit demon cases were all handled by you, Feng Lei Tang. But where the demonic energy in the rabbit demon's hands went, the biggest suspects are your brothers.

If other churches want to investigate, they will definitely investigate you first. So the first thing is to take off your identity tokens and treat you as suspects. When it is found out, your status will be restored.

But during this period, if anything else is found out about you, it will be difficult.

Of course, I have absolute trust in Brother Jiang’s character and I don’t think you will do anything illegal. I barely trust the brother named Zhang Yunwu a little bit.

But the man named Lu Renjia has a sly look and he can tell that he is a slippery man. If you say that he has done anything that is not in violation of disciplines, even your own people will not believe it... In short, you can do it if you don’t want to investigate this case, but Be prepared to be investigated.

Brother Jiang, let me reiterate, this is not a threat from me, it is a request from above. Even if I don't check, others will rush to do it. Especially now that Uncle Li is away, you are like chickens without the protection of an old hen, very passive. ”

Nalan Xie stood up and wanted to pat Jiang Shouzhong on the shoulder, but the latter avoided him and touched his nose in embarrassment, "Anyway, I'm here to help you with good intentions. It's up to you whether you appreciate it or not."
 Nalan Xie turned to the fighting Ah Qing and said angrily: "You bitch, it's not over yet! You think this is your own home. If you can, go to the bed with me and fight me tonight. I won't be surprised if I don't beat you to death." !”

“Fuck you bitch!”

The woman yelled back, looked down at the scarred shoulder, gritted her teeth, and rushed forward again.

Nalanye spread his hands to Jiang Shouzhong, "You see, there is really nothing we can do."

Nalan Xie smiled and said: "Then I'll wait for the good news from Brother Jiang. If that doesn't work, Brother Jiang can come to our Tieyi Hall. I've been jealous of you for too long. Even if you hit me, I'm willing to repay evil with kindness. Then How can I put it in a sentence...Brother Jiang has abused me thousands of times, but I still love Brother Jiang as before."

The man waved his hand and strode away.

“This bitch really left me alone!”

Seeing the man walking away without looking back, Ah Qing yelled angrily, and from Xia He’s fight He struggled to escape and gave chase.

After escaping, he turned back and glared at Xia He, "Little girl, I will remember you."

"Black Grape, walk slowly."

Jiang Shouzhong said inexplicably as he walked out of the house.

A Qing was stunned and looked down suddenly, only to realize that the clothes in front of her clothes when she got away just now were torn by Xia He's sword energy.

You can see everything inside.

The woman felt the insult and her eyes turned red, but in the end she suppressed her anger and did not do anything irrational. She covered her chest and looked at Jiang Shouzhong fiercely, then turned and chased after Nalan Xie.

Jiang Shouzhong looked at Xia He who was panting slightly. The girl's clothes were basically intact, only the shoulders were slightly cracked, and her fair shoulders were vaguely visible. "Miss Xia He, are you okay?"

Xia He received He picked up the long sword and regained his indifference just now.

Jiang Shouzhong sighed, "Look, many fools come to trouble me for no reason. It's really unlucky for you to be with me. Why don't you think about it and go back to Yinyue Tower?"

Xia He closed his eyes and adjusted his breath.

Jiang Shouzhong smiled and said in a low voice: "It seems good to have a thug by my side."

Xia He suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him, "That person was punched by you. If he thinks you have no use value in the future, he will definitely pay you back a hundred times. You have to be prepared."

Jiang Shouzhong said in a serious tone: "I have given him a chance, but he still threatened me. So as soon as the time comes, I will kill him, you can help."

——
 Nalanye was walking on the street and was slapped in the face by a woman who rushed over. He looked like a shameless dog eating shit and fell to the ground, attracting the attention of passers-by.

But faced with the woman’s murderous eyes, people avoided her one after another.

"You bitch, you must be sick."

Nalanye got up and glared at the woman, "Don't think I'm afraid of you because you are my senior sister."

"Go. Buy me some clothes!" the woman ordered.

Nalan Xie muttered dissatisfiedly: "I asked you to use the sword, but you had to pretend, and you were almost beaten into a beggar by the other party. You asked me to take a look at that girl's body, but it was of no use at all."

"How useful are you? You were beaten to a pulp by a third-level martial artist!"

Ah Qing slapped the opponent on the head.

Nalan Xie grinned in pain and retorted: "I just don't want to hide. Then it is possible for him to become his brother in the future, let alone being beaten twice by his brother and stabbing him in both sides. I'm willing to do both."

The woman sneered, "If he doesn't want to hang out with you."

Nalanxie sighed, "Then I can only... settle the score slowly. "

After buying the woman some new clothes that fit her, Nalanxie said helplessly: "The people under me are all trash. No matter what, if you want to find the evil spirit, there is still hope with Jiang Mo. Yes. The old guy from Xichu Hall is pushing me hard. It’s worth getting a punch in exchange for the opportunity to cooperate.”

Seeing the woman's gloomy face and not speaking, Nalanye hugged the woman's waist and comforted her like a child: "My little baby, don't be angry, I like black. Let's go, I know the noodles in this noodle shop are very good. It’s delicious, I’ll take you to try it.”

The woman’s expression softened slightly.

The two came to the "Zhang Ji Noodle Shop" in a remote alley. When the lame noodle shop owner Zhang Ashun saw Nalan Xie, he was as happy and attentive as ever, "Master Nalan, you are here."

Nalan Xie smiled gently and said, "Bring a friend over for dinner. Let's have two bowls of noodles, something lighter."

"Okay."

Zhang Ashun led the two of them into a private room with a better environment, poured the best tea in the store, and then ran to the kitchen to cook. A-Qing said calmly: "I heard that the eldest daughter of this noodle shop was raped by a beast two years ago and was thrown into the beggar gang's gold-selling cave. When she was rescued, she became pregnant and died. "

"Yes, that beast is me."

Nalanye stretched out his hand to straighten the woman's hair that was a little messed up during the fight, and said with a smile. , "But the child in my belly is not mine, it is either Shi Yi's or some beggar's."

A Qing said: "She also has a younger sister, how could you hold back and not do anything to her? , It seems that I feel quite guilty about that woman.”

Nalan Xie was very happy, "Do you think I am a guilty person? The main reason is that the girl is too young and I can't be so beastly."

Seeing the woman's look of disdain, Nalan Xie said: "Actually, I've had an idea for a long time, but I've been too busy recently, and Shi Yi died again. When I finish playing with that girl, I'll come to Boss Zhang in person and tell him, you two. All my daughters were ruined by me. To express my apology, I will reunite your family."

A Qing sneered, "You are not afraid of retribution."

Nalan Xie said. Frank said, "Anyway, I am a wicked person who will go to hell sooner or later. Doing one evil thing is no different from doing a hundred evil things. But senior sister, you are not a good person. When the time comes, we will go to hell together, and we will have a companion, right?" "

Aqing rolled her eyes, "I don't want to die early, I haven't lived enough yet."

"Life and death are unpredictable. As a practitioner, don't think about living a stable life." Nalanxie smiled and said, "Life and death are impermanent, only ordinary. We must not know the joy of life."

When the fragrant and hot noodles were served, Nalanxie asked while eating the noodles: "Senior sister, you came all the way to the capital, not just to sleep with me, right? Do you have a mission?"

A Qing said calmly: "The Yin and Yang Sect received news that Lao Yang from the Tianying organization got a copy of "The Record of Shen Tu Yin and Yang". I came to see him. It would be best if we can trade. If we can't trade, we can only move. That’s gross.”

“As one of the four most amazing books in the world, what’s so strange about it?”

Nalan Xie asked curiously.

Although he is a disciple of the Yin Yang family, Nalan Xie is unable to access some core secrets.

A Qing took a sip of noodles and shook her head slightly, "I'm not sure. There are some rather ridiculous rumors that it seems to be a dual cultivation method. Different from other dual cultivation methods, "Shen Tu" "Yin Yang Lu" can only be cultivated after ascending to immortality."

Nalan Xie said speechlessly: "You have already ascended to immortality, what else do you need it for?"

A Qing said; " After ascension, you alone will live forever. If you practice this strange book, you can make your Taoist companions live forever together. Of course, only time can verify whether it is true or not."

——

As dusk approached, Ranfu's carriage arrived belatedly.

Ran Qingchen was not on the carriage, only the maid Jin Xiu was driving.

“Aunt——”

The girl jumped out of the carriage excitedly and came to the courtyard. Just as she was about to shout, she saw a woman wearing a mask beside Jiang Shouzhong. The girl quickly closed her eyes. On the mouth.

“Where is Qingchen?” Jiang Shouzhong asked.

Jinxiu didn't answer, and stared at Xia He suspiciously with his big black eyes.

Jiang Shouzhong said: "She is Miss Xia He from Silver Moon Tower. She came here specifically to protect me. She knows about my relationship with Ran Qingchen. Well, for some reasons, she needs to be with me all the time. "

Jin Xiu was a little confused and didn't dare to make the decision for a while.

Xia He took out a token and threw it to Jinxiu, "When you get to Ran Mansion, give this to the old lady, and she will naturally let me in."

"Oh."

The usually quirky Jin Xiu was a little frightened by Xia He's cold aura, and he let the two of them get into the carriage in a daze.

Through chatting during the period, Jiang Shouzhong learned that Ran Qingchen was unable to leave because of some official duties, so he asked Jin Xiu to take Jiang Shouzhong to Ran Mansion first, and she would arrive soon after.

Arrived at Ranfu, Jinxiu took the token to report.

After a while, the little girl ran back and said to the two of them: "Uncle, Miss Xia He, the old lady invites you."

You can really enter the house... Jiang Shouzhong glanced at Xia He beside him.

Xia He walked into Ran Mansion with a calm expression.

Took two steps and then slowed down. She waited until Jiang Shouzhong was ahead and then followed.

The old lady lived in the North Courtyard of Ranfu. The small house she lived in was very simple. The furniture was full of simplicity and had a calmness that had been tempered by the years. The bed is covered with fine straw mats, and the pillows and quilts are all plain-colored without too many decorations. It looks no different from an ordinary house.

When Jiang Shouzhong and Xia He were brought into the house, this old lady, who was well-known both in Ran's family and in the continent, came close to put her shoes under the light like an ordinary woman.

Although the old lady is already over sixty years old, her fingers are still skillfully weaving the needle and thread between the layers of quilts. It can be seen that she often does these trivial tasks on weekdays.

"Old lady, my uncle and Miss Xia He are here."

Jinxiu said softly.

The old lady of the Ran family raised her head and said to the two of them with a smile: "Come here, sit down for a while."

Jiang Shouzhong and Xia He sat on the stools.

Xia He, who had been acting domineering before, unconsciously suppressed his cold and arrogant aura after entering the room, and appeared particularly well-behaved and reserved, as if he was a different person.

No wonder she was nervous, the old woman in front of her was Princess Mingwan, the granddaughter of the only king with a different surname in the continental dynasty, Wang Wuyou.

Even members of the royal family must be respectful when meeting them.

Jinxiu served tea and stood aside respectfully.

The old lady of the Ran family did not speak, but concentrated on her own affairs.

Jiang Shouzhong and Xia He could only sit obediently.

After a long time, the old lady gently bit off the thread, smoothed the shoes with her calloused hands, then picked up the wooden hammer and struck it again and again. After the soles were flat and wrinkle-free and sewn to the uppers, she handed the finished pair of shoes to Jiang Shouzhong and said in a kind voice, "Let me try on that girl's feet. I think they should be suitable."

Jiang Shouzhong was stunned for a moment, then took the shoes and prepared to hand them to Xia He.

As a result, the old lady picked up the unfinished sole next to her and patted the man's arm. She said with some displeasure: "How can I let this girl try it on herself? Go and help her try to see if the size fits. ”

Huh?

Jiang Shouzhong’s face was full of question marks.

Xia He stood up with a "swish", blushed and waved her hands repeatedly, stuttering: "No... no need, old lady, I... have shoes, you... you don't need to make them for me."

"Sit down!"

Old lady Ran made a serious face.

Xia He sat down obediently, regretting following him.

If I had known better, I would have listened to Jiang Shouzhong.

The old lady smiled and said softly to Jiang Shouzhong: "Go ahead and be considerate to the little girl."

"Old lady, I think you misunderstood, I..."

" Go!”

“Okay.”
