Shu Mingshen was carrying a wooden barrel full of water in his hand, shaking it here and there, and moved towards the gate with difficulty.

The water in the bucket splashed from the edge of the wooden bucket from time to time with his swaying steps, dyeing a large wet and cold mark on the blue robe he washed already whitish...

"..." Shu Mingshen didn't seem to care about it at all. He just put down the bucket halfway and slightly raised his arm to wipe the sweat from his forehead. direction to go.

However, just as he stretched out his hand, before he touched the wet wooden handle, the other hand stretched out from behind him at this moment, picking up the bucket of water for him.

"Hey, Aji..." Shu Mingshen turned his head and saw a young man with a yellow and thin face in a gray-brown jacket standing behind him, holding the bucket of water he just carried in his hand, he couldn't help but wonder Said: "How did you come back so early today?"

The other party didn't come home all night every day, or he didn't come home until midnight, so Shu Mingshen was really not used to seeing the other party at this time.

Could it be that the other party hasn't gone to work today?

The young man named Aji heard the words, and while carrying the bucket into the room, he said to him without looking back, "It's okay..."

"..." The other party was still so taciturn, Shu Mingshen couldn't help but sighed slightly in his heart.

Aji was picked up by chance on his way home two years ago. The other party was drunk at the time, lying in the middle of the road and almost being crushed to death by a carriage.

Shuming saw that the other party was pitiful and brought him back.

Anyway, there are still many empty houses in his house, so that this person can live at home temporarily.

Aji was very grateful for his "life-saving grace" after waking up, and he had nowhere to go, so he simply rented this empty house in his house as his shelter.

And it was from then on that Shu Mingshen started his career as a landlord. After Aji came, he simply rented out all the vacant rooms.

Perhaps it was due to the relatively good location of his house and the beautiful scenery nearby. Apart from the two houses of him and Aji, the other three houses were rented out one after another not long after.

Shu Mingshen was still worried about his own livelihood. After all, he was a frail scholar who couldn't handle it. Apart from going to a private school to act as a substitute teacher occasionally, he really couldn't find any other way to make money.

In this way, his livelihood was temporarily relieved.

And although this young man named Aji is too honest, he is definitely one of the tenants with the closest relationship with him.

It's not that he has any opinion on the other few people, it's just that those few brothers seem to be all Jianghu people, and they often see their heads and tails, their whereabouts are extremely erratic, and it is not uncommon for them to see no one for a few days. Some things, because of this, he is rarely able to see each other's face...

"Aji, are you injured?!"

Because it was late, Shu Mingshen didn't know until the other party brought the bucket into the house, and by the faint candlelight in the room, he finally saw clearly that the other party had several stab wounds on his body. Although the wounds were not deep, But the blood is still flowing until now...

However, when Aji heard the words, he still looked indifferent, and said to him indifferently: "It's okay, it's just a small injury."

"It's okay!" Shu Mingshen immediately became anxious, turned around and was about to go out: "Just wait here, I'll go find the doctor, and I'll be right back!"

Aji coughed slightly, raised his hand to stop him and said, "It's okay, I still have some Jinchuang medicine here, just bandage it up for me..."

Shu Ming looked at the other party suspiciously, hesitated for a long while as if he was not sure what to do, and seeing that Aji was still determined, he finally sighed and said: "Okay then, I will temporarily Bandage it for you... If there is any problem, I will go to Dr. Li at the alley tomorrow morning for consultation!"

"..." Aji nodded to him obediently, and then sat on the side of the bed with Shu Mingshen's support, allowing the other party to treat his wounds.

When Shu Mingshen had bandaged all the wounds on the opponent's body, his forehead was already covered with a layer of hot sweat, and he said to Aji worriedly: "Why did you get stabbed? Someone dislikes you...?"

The other party's job is to work as a servant in a brothel.

Although Shu Ming deeply felt that doing this kind of business was really unappealing, but it was said that Aji owed a lot of money to the old bustard who opened the brothel and had not paid back, so he had to work for the other party to pay off the debt. So I advised the other party to change to a more serious job.

Although it might not be decent to change jobs, at least it is much better than hanging out in that kind of smoky place all day long.

At the beginning, Shu Mingshen was worried that Aji would learn to be bad in that brothel, but he was finally relieved when he found out that the character of the other party was definitely not the type that could easily go bad.

Aji pursed his lips slightly when he heard the words: "It's just that I met a few customers who found fault, it's no big deal..."

Shuming breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled at the other party: "Then I don't worry, just wait a moment, I'm going to make chicken soup, just to replenish your body!"

Aji raised his eyes and looked at him for a while, a smile finally appeared on his face that had been tense all the time, and said to Shuming deeply: "Then there will be Brother Lao Shu."

"..." Shu Ming waved his hand towards the other party deeply and generously, anyway, he was the one who took care of the food for these tenants.

Although a gentleman is far away from the cook, whoever told him to cook his own meals since he was a child has already become proficient and proficient. If he hadn't been close to the cook, he would have starved to death long ago!

Shu Mingshen talked with the other party for a while, and was about to go out with the bucket, but at this moment, the gate of the yard was knocked like a drum from outside.

The man slammed on the door and yelled into the room: "Is that Aji living here? Useless Aji, get out of here!"

"..." Shu Ming couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard the words, and looked at Aji at the side, and the two walked outside together.

But after opening the gate of the courtyard, they saw four or five strong men holding torches high, standing at their gate with guns and sticks in their hands, glaring at them fiercely with wide eyes.

"Are you that useless Aji?" The head of a strong man with a scar face looked at the two people in front of him, then turned his head and said to Aji.

Aji nodded to him when he heard the words: "I am Aji, what do you do?"

"I heard that you hurt our brother in the brothel before." The strong man looked at him for a moment, then sneered, "And you also had an affair with the boss's woman, now that bitch has run away, the boss told us to come here Ask you where she escaped!"
