Shang Yi, the lord of Mall City, has been busy since the morning, and he received an order from the Hanging Mirror Division Branch yesterday, saying that he wanted to arrange the housing of thousands of households in Jixiang Village.
Well, let's not talk about why this long-awaited Soul Refining Sect is stirring up trouble again, the housing and livelihood issues alone are a huge difficulty.
"Master, something happened" A short middle-aged man in a green shirt pushed the door in.
"Out of your sister, sir, I'm very good.
Also, how many times have I told you, you must knock on the door, if you catch up with your master, what are I doing, you are looking for a mouth" Shang Yi scolded dissatisfiedly, and the lines of his face looked a little funny.
"Master, you are frank and magnanimous, even if there is really something unseemly, it is not something that ants like us can break through."
"Are you accusing me of really doing something shady, Master, you don't want to do it, I remember that last time you forgot to bring money to take care of the two taels of silver I borrowed, it seems that you haven't paid it back."
The corners of the master's mouth trembled, and he wanted to cry without tears: "Master, your memory is really good, two taels of silver have been recorded for a year, and now the interest should be two hundred taels."
"Two hundred and fifty taels, the interest changed yesterday."
"Why has it changed?"
"The mall is about to usher in the migration of thousands of households, if I don't open up sources and reduce expenditure, where can I afford to support so many people." “” Shang Yi finished teaching the master and asked: "Tell me what's the matter, isn't it that the mother and son feel inconvenient to bother, so they took the initiative to leave with someone?"
The master smiled helplessly: "The eldest lady has already welcomed them in, and they will be arranged at the Yuelai Inn." ” Shang Yi said boredly when he heard this: "Then what's the big deal for you?"
The master's sullen face immediately said seriously: "According to the soldier's report, there are many strangers at the dock today, and I don't think things are so simple."
"Hey, I remember that the dock of our mall doesn't have any special commodity trade except for transporting some rice and grain," Shang Yi said with some confusion.
The mall is close to the Barbarians, and there are no canals in the Barbarian Countries, so it is almost certain that the Mall cannot be reached by water.
After excluding the barbarian country, Shang Yi muttered a little in his heart.
You must know that because the location of the mall is too remote, it belongs to the place where his father doesn't love his mother in the country of light, otherwise he, the city lord, would not be so smooth.
Even if there are caravans that are good at taking the waterway, they will not come to the mall, so the business here is also by land, because most of the goods on the barbarian side are bulk cargo, and if they are loaded on ships, they cannot be transported in large quantities, and they will lose a lot of money in a single shipping inside and outside.
"Do you see who they are?"
asked Shang Yi.
The master stroked his beard and said with great certainty: "According to my observation, these people are in groups of three or five, and most of the clothes they wear are of the same style, so they should be from the sect."
It's just that there are nearly a hundred small boats scattered around, and there are twenty or thirty of them in this sect, which is terrifying."
Shang Yi was stunned, "This is a joint operation of multiple factions, but I haven't heard that there are any super big demons born recently, etc., it shouldn't be because of the Soul Refining Sect But the time is not right, this is just a day after the incident, where are the factions moving together so quickly" "Master, what should we do then?"
"What else can I do with so many small boats docking, don't you need money, go and collect taxes on my head by head" Shang Yi looked at the master with a bored face, why can't you grasp the point Master's embarrassment Yuelai Inn, the same Yuelai Inn, but compared with the one in Jixiang Village, it is completely different, the Yuelai Inn in the mall is not so much an inn as a large shopping mall.
Dining, shopping, accommodation, entertainment, everything Well, one thing must be said that the Yuelai Inn here was contracted by Shang Yi.
Late at night, Shang Rong came to the inn as promised, walked to Meng Xiao's door, first knocked on the door, and then waited for a while before pushing the door and entering, "Xiaowen hasn't woken up yet" looked at the little girl who was still lying on the bed, Shang Rong's eyes were full of pity.
When she went to Jixiang Village with Wu Miao, she had also seen this cute little girl.
Meng Xiao tucked the quilt for Xiaowen, "Uncle Gen's death hit her too hard, after all, she is just a child, and her current coma is a kind of self-protection." ” Shang Rong nodded, "I understand, people tend to do a lot of things that their sanity would not do when they are in despair.
When my mother died, my father was crazy about strangling me to death and then committing suicide."
Meng Xiao looked at her in some surprise, "I can't see that that stingy old man would have this kind of courage." ” Shang Rong said with a smile: "It's all forced by life, if it weren't for my father who delayed my mother's illness because of lack of money, he wouldn't be a dime now."
And the change of personality can also be understood as another release of grief. ” "It seems that you usually worry about your father's problems," Meng Xiao said with a smile.
Shang Rong also laughed out loud when she heard this, "Aren't you too, Aunt Qing's willful appearance doesn't bother you less?"
"No way, who else can we ask for help if we don't help our children" shrugged his shoulders and asked: "By the way, has Xiao Wu contacted you recently?"
At the mention of Xiao Wu, a moment of shyness flashed on Shang Rong's face, "I contacted once a few days ago, saying that I was going down the mountain with a certain senior brother from the Yuxu Palace on errands, and I would go home to visit relatives for a while halfway.
Moreover, he said that this time he would come to the official hiring."
Meng Xiao was stunned, "Well, he should be just sixteen years old this year, and he has just become an inner disciple and is busy getting married, is this okay?"
Shang Rong's shyness before hearing the words turned into worry, "There is something strange and hidden in his words, it seems that he is not happy, and as if he has been hit by something, he suddenly has the urge to start a family, so Xiao Wu respects you the most, you have always seemed to know everything, can you guess, what happened to him" Meng Xiao looked at Shang Rong's worried expression, and suddenly understood, probably this was the real reason why she came to see her.
However, guessing without clues at all is obviously irresponsible, Wu Miao is a very thoughtful person, which can be known from the fact that he gave up the mall school and returned to Jixiang Village to take classes.
According to Meng Xiao's understanding of Wu Miao, he should not be a person who will be hit at will Just looked at Shang Rong's expectant expression, sighed secretly and said: "Don't worry, he should only be temporarily uncomfortable, after all, the Jade Void Palace is a big faction in the world, and there are countless geniuses in it, and Leng Buding has changed from a chicken head to a phoenix tail, and it is inevitable that there is something bad in his heart."
When he comes back this time, you can soothe him with your warm chest."
Shang Rong's face turned red instantly, and she glanced at him angrily, but the joy in her eyes was Meng Xiaozhile, "You can even joke, and I don't know who to learn from" He stood up and said: "Forget it, I won't bother you to take care of Xiaowen, just don't work too hard." ” Meng Xiao got up to see him off, but when he walked to the door, Shang Rong paused again, "Since Xiaowen has no faith in living, then you have to give her a belief." ” Meng Xiao frowned slightly, "What belief?"
"Sometimes, hatred is more powerful than hope" After reading the collection, it is a good habit In addition, the master is specially invited by the book friend Xiaocunzi t1706231537:
