Ten Mile Room

Yu Dongchi and Zhou Songchun left first, Jiang Gezi looked at the backs of these two people, feeling agitated in his heart, he thought, when did I become so familiar with these people?

It wasn't that he was suspicious of people, but he felt that these guys were too complicated and cunning, and they were not on the same path as him.

He didn't know what they were thinking, but he could feel that now they were pulling himself into their circle bit by bit in a neither soft nor hard way.

this!Jiang Gezi didn't like it a bit.

He stretched out his hand to pull the long hairs behind his ears, but found that at some point, his hair was trimmed and he couldn't catch it.

When did you shave your head?

He stretched out his arm again and took a whiff of it.

Hmm...the faint smell of orchid grass is not annoying.

He looked down at the pair of leather slippers on his feet again.The shoes don't fit too well, and the whole foot is rattling when I put it on.

After reading it, he marveled again, why are these feet so white...

While thinking wildly in his head, Pinhong, the second boy of the fourth elder brother's family, ran out of the house with two broken basins on his head, and when he saw Jiang Gezi, he yelled affectionately: "Uncle!"

The child kissed him, shouting crisply.

Jiang Gezi suddenly felt better, beckoned him over, and knocked on the broken pot on top of his head and asked him: "Little guy, can you do it! How about helping your mother move?"

The 12-year-old Pinhong has a round head and a round brain. When the child heard Jiang Gezi say his mother, his expression was a little bit wrong. He looked around, and then lowered his head and whispered:

"Uncle... Grandpa sold two houses at home, saying that he was saving our tuition fees, my mother beat my father's eyes black, and my grandma told my mother to go away, so my mother and San Niangniang went away together .”

……

Let me tell you something, the fourth sister-in-law has always been extremely lethal, and she is so stupid to chase the sheep at the fourth brother, he wants to beat him up.

Say yes, get him some pocket money.Well, in the end it became a whole family, and the neighbors shared the money together.

Look at how promising he is, it's not that the fourth sister-in-law is successful, the whole family will starve to death sooner or later!

Jiang Gezi thought of Uncle Duan's cunning old face again, how should he evaluate it?

He is in charge of the ten miles of Laosanxiang, and he has a focus and a preference, not to mention the old man.

When can we talk about housework again?

"Did you divide the house between your house and your third uncle's house?"

Pinhong's eyes turned red, and he nodded vigorously. The child already had his own sense of right and wrong, and he said angrily: "Mm! The master said that our two families are in good condition, so we have to give way..." Yes For our own good! But, uncle, my grandfather, he, he is not fair!"

Jiang Gezi smiled and stretched out his hand to pat his broken pot: "Don't talk about the old man! Why is your father so unfair? Don't talk nonsense, your house belongs to your father, and your father is still alive. The old man thinks Give it to anyone! You know?"

Pinhong was a little confused, and looked at Jiang Gezi incomprehensibly.

Jiang Gezi sighed inwardly. In the final analysis, Lao Sanxiang was still poor.

The shopkeeper Duan can see clearly that children's education is a big problem, and his bowl of water is doomed to be uneven.

Nowadays, there are student subsidies and student loans all over the country, but the prefecture, state, and county have been shouting for many years, and even a project cannot be established.Hopefully, in the future, his neighbors in Laosanxiang can rely on tourism for better business.

He reached out and knocked on the two broken basins on Pinhong, and waved him away: "Go, go, you don't care about your lord's business! Don't worry, your mother can't bear to miss you, I will leave in a few days." came back."

Pinhong nodded, slapped the broken basin, and trotted away.

A loud bang.

The sound of the wall collapsing came from the left, and Jiang Gezi pinched the dust under his nose, feeling lonely in his heart, and Laosanxiang, which had lost the fireworks of the world, suddenly felt so different from home.

He stood up unsteadily, turned around and entered the room he hadn't returned for several days.

As soon as the door was opened, the inside of the house was terribly clean, there was no trace of dust that had been scrubbed around the corners, and even the windows of the house were nailed with plastic sheets to prevent dust. What did he pack?

The sunlight outside the house shone in, and it was printed on the case of the main house. Jiang Gezi saw several letters, and the top one was a cash order form from another place.

Jiang Gezi flipped through the letters a few times, all of which were notification letters from construction companies and energy companies.

it's wired!That stupid bird, why didn't he write a letter to himself, asking for something to eat?

Are you busy?

take an exam?Or... sick?

With his current physique, he might not get sick easily, right?

Jiang Gezi finally picked up the money order and looked at it, but it was a money order of twenty pennies, signed by Xing Yujuan, not a single word was added, and there was not a penny added.

At this moment, a gentle and pleasant woman's voice came from outside the house.

"I heard that you are back, so I rushed over immediately."

Jiang Gezi turned around, only to see Ms. Mo wearing dusty work clothes, a long paper tube under her arm, a yellow safety helmet, and a fruit basket in her hand, standing at the door with a smile.

This woman has a strange attitude today.

Really, in the past no matter how respectful she was, she always had the attitude of a superior person, and she always showed it inadvertently. You are all country people, you have never seen anything, you look down on people without knowing anything, and look down on people. That sour smell.

But how respectful is she today?

It's kind of interesting.

Just standing at the door, he bowed ninety degrees.

Jiang Gezi conveniently packed the remittance slip, raised his face and smiled at her and said, "It's Ms. Mo, please come in."

Ms. Mo raised her face and smiled, and entered the room pretending to be acquainted, and those who gave up their seats stood on the spot, bowed again full of sincerity and said, "I am relieved to see that you are in good health now! Thanks to your blessings, the whole company was safe and sound after a catastrophe, and finally started work on time! Seeing your spirit and ruddy complexion, I think everything is safe, it’s great!"

Jiang Gezi also smiled and politely returned the salute: "You are too polite, the matter of duty is not as serious as they said, it is just sleeping for a few days."

Ms. Mo straightened up, looked him up and down seriously, and finally said with a sigh of relief: "There are a lot of rumors on the street, but... thanks to your blessing, our preliminary work can finally continue. It’s a thank you gift that I paid for myself.”

She smiled and pointed to the fruit basket.

This is obviously someone with inside information.

Jiang Gezi smiled and shook his head.

"You spend money."

Ms. Mo saw that he had a good attitude, so she took a step closer, tentatively pointing back at Changqing Mountain behind her and said, "It is said that you have been resting on the mountain recently?"

Jiang Gezi gave her a strange look, but did not answer her question.

Ms. Mo was immediately embarrassed, so she smiled shyly and said, "...Anyway, seeing that you are doing well, I really thank God, this... I bring you four design drawings, this is a thank you gift from the company, All expenses will be borne by the Li family, the Duan family, and the Yu family!"

After finishing speaking, she carefully observed Jiang Gezi's expression, and seeing that he looked peaceful, she took out a few blueprints and put them on the ground, spreading them out one by one, ready to show them to Jiang Gezi.

Jiang Gezi understood that this was probably because of someone's face.

Otherwise, who would know such a crappy guy with no background and no background?

He shook his head helplessly, reached out his hand to pick out a green fruit from the fruit basket brought by Ms. Mo, rubbed it on his clothes a few times, took a bite, and then said: "Don't worry about it, I'm going to tear it all down and rebuild it! "

Ms. Mo, who was laying out the blueprints, was taken aback, and looked up at Jiang Gezi: "Pull it down? That... would be such a pity! There are not many houses in Laosanxiang that are kept perfect, and yours... at least you have to have it." With a history of more than 500 years, have you... asked the cultural relics protection unit?"

Jiang Gezi raised his face to look at this house, and twitched his mouth sarcastically, "I don't need to ask them! I said push it, so push it! It's best... don't leave any traces of the past...!"

Ms. Mo thought for a while, then slowly put away the blueprints and stood up, bowed and said, "Then, I'll go back and change a few more blueprints for you, please wait a moment."

Jiang Gezi nodded indifferently.

This time, Ms. Mo was not familiar with herself. With enough fear and respect, when she went out, she walked backwards, and the gesture of lowering the door curtain was also light, just like placing a piece of porcelain carefully.

Jiang Gezi couldn't help but feel a twitch in his heart when he saw the back of Ms. Mo leaving.

Tsk tsk... people!

In the past, even if it was because of a drink, she didn't realize that she could inquire about her whereabouts. What happened to living in Changqing Mountain? He is a creditor!

After eating the fruit and losing the core, Jiang Gezi walked around the house, the front yard and the back yard.

Those who couldn't see people all disappeared from this room.

Around evening, Ms. Mo sent the drawings again.This time, she brought two designers and explained it to Jiang Gezi professionally.

With a wave of Jiang Gezi's hand, he chose the most expensive set without being polite.

After the room was selected, Uncle Huang, who hadn't seen him for a long time, also lifted the curtain and entered the room with sweat on his face.

He has been quite busy these past few days, taking on jobs from several pawnshops, and has been showing old objects to people and estimating their value.

A few days ago, Mrs. Duan called Uncle Huang the old mourning bird, and he was a lifelong laborer. When he was old and he was fine, the old man's muscles and bones were gone.

Hiding in the house all day, it is really a mournful appearance that cannot see people.

These days are different, moving, whose old house doesn't have any bits and pieces from the ancestors.This old neighbor trusts him, if you don't give him a look, you can't sell it.

In this way, Uncle Huang, who was full of vitality, set up a table at the entrance of the alley. Every day, people came and gave him things at his table, and sometimes there was a queue of more than [-] meters in line.

From this point, it can be seen that the old man's prestige of being helpful all his life comes from it.

The pawn shop he was familiar with in the city also sent people here, and Uncle Huang set up a line for both ends, and the business was completed, and both sides gave money.

At first, he was too embarrassed to ask for it, but other people can't watch him give you a white job because of your age, right?

From the very beginning, it was a big deal. Uncle Huang found that he made a few days of wiring for others, and he made no less than the monthly money he got from Hengze Dang in private.

Others needed him and respected him, he was able to make money, and he was able to do long-term jobs for his children. The old man finally recovered completely.

Jiang Gezi sent Ms. Mo and the others off, and turned to look at the old man happily.

I haven't seen him for a few days, this old man doesn't pay much attention anymore, he doesn't wear his usual blue cloth gown, he just wears a simple two-knob cotton black old shirt, and he still holds a rotten cattail fan with a cloth patch in his hand. All of a sudden, it flapped like a Huahua Taisui.

Look at the auspiciousness on this face, the fat is about to come out.

But I didn’t miss the neighbor’s Xie bar!

This old man has loved this respect all his life.

Also no one.

Jiang Gezi handed him a fresh fruit, and the two of them were not particular about it, they just rubbed it on their clothes and bit it.

While biting the fruit, the old man looked carefully at the door of the house. After confirming that it was safe, he turned his face and smiled mysteriously and said, "Master Ganzi, I have something to tell you for fun!"

Jiang Gezi glanced at him: "Leer? What Leer? Say it."

The old man flashed some weird expressions with a half-smile on his face, but he pretended to be uncomfortable. He sighed in a fake way and said, "Do you remember my old boss?"

"Heng Zedang?"

"Correct!"

"What happened to Heng Zedang? Didn't he move away?"

The old man let go of the cattail fan, patted his old leg and sighed: "Hey, the ancestor's grave collapsed, and his family broke the rules. If you let their family go, God can't see it."

Jiang Gezi chuckled: "Well...God? Can't you see it?"

The old man nodded earnestly, with regret all over his face: "Da Nantou, I just bought a new house and only half cleaned it up! The yamen closed the door, hula! Several groups of veterans dumped warehouses for his house, and the house was stolen... ... Tsk tsk, you didn't see that Chang Hui's things that were registered in the official house in the past are all in his house! You said, this person can't be too smart... Isn't it good to divide his duties? Tsk tsk... ...It's a pity, an old shop that has been around for hundreds of years, hey...now, the old shop, the young shop, and the big shopkeepers are all closed, it's a pity... tsk tsk..."

Jiang Gezi took a bite of the fruit.

"Hey, I went to visit the prison a few days ago. How should I put it... This man should keep his feet on the ground! What do you think?"

Can I say no?

Jiang Gezi ignored him and gnawed on the fruit.

The old man had good teeth and ate half of the fruit, then looked at Jiang Gezi's ribs with a strange expression, and said as if nothing happened: "Oh, let's not mention them, let's talk about business! I My son! You keep calling me, what do you want me to do?"

Jiang Gezi sniffed, pointed to the second floor and said, "Don't call me that scumbag, it's so ugly! That's it, please go up and help me... There are a lot of things on the second floor, and I don't prepare any of them." Moved away, you go and have a look first, you can give the price whatever you want."

Uncle Huang glanced at Jiang Gezi with a constipated expression, and went up to the second floor with his hands behind his back.

This old Jiang's family knows how many things Jiangbatou had before, but he doesn't know what this master has.

Jiang Gezi has been in Laosan Lane for four years, and he has never invited anyone to the second floor of his house. Even the old Duan's house, which is opposite, is the first floor, and even the backyard. .

The old man went upstairs and stayed there for a quarter of an hour before coming down with a shocked face.

Probably never thought of it.

Jiang Gezi knew what he saw, wasn't it the Yanzi's set of furniture that had no nails but only mortise and tenon joints?

Uncle Huang sat down, took the cattail leaf fan and slapped it a few times, and then said to Jiang Gezi cautiously, "This... I can't figure it out. The ones I know probably won't be able to swallow it!"

Jiang Gezi smiled, and waved his hands indifferently: "It's okay, I'll give you the key to the house in a while, and you can just bring someone to see it tomorrow, and you can give it to whoever can swallow it."

Uncle Huang shook his head regretfully and persuaded him: "It's a pity, in this world, although the price is rising, to tell you the truth, I think it's going for the better... If I were you, I would let it go... ..."

He knocked on the table seriously, and reminded solemnly: "The longer~ the better!"

Jiang Gezi shook his head: "Forget it! I don't save money either. There is a student at home recently who asked me to pay for it. If you are tired, you can quietly move away. I will entrust this matter to you." .”

Uncle Huang saw that it was useless to persuade him, so he patted his forehead helplessly, looked up at the weather, and finally shook his head helplessly and said, "If that's the case, you can wait later, and I will take care of it for you tonight!"

After the old man finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave, but Jiang Gezi grabbed him and put the key of his house in his hand.

After he left, Jiang Gezi locked the house casually, and prepared to take a last look at the old Laosanxiang with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, the sky is completely dark, but the bright lights hanging from various large machinery at the nearby construction site illuminate the old street brightly.

The old street has never been in such a mess, the ground is full of mess, and there are rubbish and rags everywhere.

However, amidst this embarrassment, there is a fresh and active color that supports the sky above the old street.

The weather is sweltering, wherever Jiang Gezi goes, the leaves above his head will send a small cool breeze there.

Jiang Gezi could feel the joy coming from the top of his head, and he became happy too.

The huge leaves of the privet tree were shaking, and some of them were still penetrated by the strong light, and the exposed veins were actually colored with flames.

It looks really beautiful.

When he reached the intersection, Jiang Gezi's footsteps stopped, and he saw the small pillar again, and the pair of old scholars sitting by the bridge playing chess. They stayed quietly in their own world, doing repetitive things.

Xiao Zhuzi was holding a chopping knife, opened the door of the house and was walking out.

Jiang Gezi was immediately confused, because Xiaozhuzi's three-headed body turned into four-headed body, he turned around and went to the escort agency again.

Immediately stood on the spot.

Master Huo She of the Escort has disappeared, and the background of his old Escort has changed into a hill, a waterfall, and a pond full of green leaves and lotus flowers under the waterfall.

On the edge of the pond, an exquisite grass-roofed water pavilion rises from the ground.

The waterside pavilion is covered with blue smoke, undulating in the wind, like a cloud of smoke.

Stepping into the waterside pavilion, there are a pair of cattail mats on the ground, and a simple piano stand with a simple Yaoqin on it, and there are bronze crane-shaped incense burners emitting green smoke on the left and right...

The strangest thing is that there is a phoenix hairpin beside the incense burner.

Jiang Gezi never knew there would be such a thing here.

In the previous game world, very few people left Novice Village and would return again.

He casually picked up the phoenix hairpin and looked at it for a while, then put it back as it was.

Exiting the water pavilion, he looked at the new pond again.

The water quality of the pond is clear, translucent and refracting light, the water lilies are delicate and cute, the lotus leaves are green, and there is a large group of beautiful and plump koi of various colors spitting bubbles. These koi river pigeons have seen some in the earth magazine before, and they are all very famous. varieties, such as red and white, three-color, autumn emerald or something...

At the bottom of the pool, watermelon-sized colorful pebbles paved the pool. Under the light, the small pond was surrounded by those colorful stones, and the scenery was extremely beautiful.

This place was indeed beautiful, but the expression on Jiang Gezi's face became more and more startled, and his steps were always hasty.

The time of the game is flowing strangely, why is this happening?

Could it be that the time here is also alive?Isn't it a repetition?

He turned over and walked quickly back to the big locust tree at the entrance of the alley,

It was completely dumbfounded.

Sister-in-law Li under the locust tree, with a pregnant belly of seven or eight months, sat on a simple bench with a haggard look, and started sewing at the door of the house.

While she was doing needlework, she would mechanically look at the gate of the city.

At this moment, there were several bangs and bangs in my ears.

Jiang Gezi looked back sharply, but saw that the tall pillar was carrying a bundle of dry firewood, and it was circling all over the ground with a stiff expression.

Beside him, sat Pinhong from the fourth sister-in-law's house, looking at the pile of broken bowls on the ground, his face full of tears.

Xiao Zhuzi couldn't see Duan Pinhong, and Duan Pinhong couldn't see Xiao Zhuzi either.

In this way, both sides are very confused.

Seeing Jiang Gezi, Pinhong complained a little wronged: "Uncle! I also... don't know, I don't know what tripped me up..."

He stood up, looked around wonderingly, stomped his feet again, and looked at the soles of his shoes. Naturally, there was nothing around the soles of his feet, and the road was flat, not even a small rock could be seen.

Jiang Gezi's heart was beating violently. He walked over slowly, touched Pinhong's head and comforted him and said, "It's okay, tell me when you get back, uncle is going to leave a stack of bowls..."

Pinhong was an honest kid, he immediately shook his head repeatedly, and rejected Jiang Gezi's kindness with a smile.

After refusing, the child carefully picked up the debris on the ground, found an old house that had completely collapsed and threw it in, and then turned and left.

Jiang Gezi watched him walk away, and then stood beside Xiao Zhuzhu with a numb face.

He couldn't find the small pillar of his home, and kept spinning around in place. He found his way in this world, but was bumped by pedestrians coming and going, and he went further and further away.

There were people constantly, some cars overturned and staggered inexplicably, and those who were unlucky were directly on the big horse.

Jiang Gezi looked around helplessly. In the end, he really had no choice but to separate his consciousness and enter the game world. He walked up to the small pillar, stretched out his hand from the game world, and grabbed the small pillar outside...

Xiao Zhuzi was immediately dragged back to the game world. He carried the firewood on his back, turned around a few times, and soon found his way, with a sensible and happy expression on his face, and walked towards the door.

Sister-in-law Li put down the dustpan, took out a handkerchief to wipe off his sweat, with a loving and caring expression on her face.

Jiang Gezi stood dumbfounded, he couldn't figure out why this happened.

In this way, he turned back along the original path of chopping wood on the small pillar, and when he reached the vicinity of Yuanbao Bridge, he saw a crack in the transparent light curtain that separated the reality and the game world.

That crack is closer to the ground, like a black hole in the clearly visible world.

This is not good.

It turned out that it leaked from here.

Jiang Gezi walked up to this gap in a state of confusion, and looked around for a while. Only then did he see clearly that it was some garbled code in the data world, which kept jumping and colliding, and the edge of the light curtain Sparks were sparked, the cause of the fire was unknown, and the burning cracks were getting bigger and bigger...

After standing there for a long time, Jiang Gezi tentatively stretched out his hand and touched those sparks lightly.

Not hot, not painful.

He gradually became more courageous, so he found a piece of rough cloth from the game, and slapped it on the flames a few times.

Going down a few times, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Those sparks were gone, and the cracks had stopped growing.

Then what?What if something falls out again.

Why is there such a phenomenon?

Jiang Gezi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and after thinking for an unknown amount of time, he tried to reach out his hand again, grabbed the two sides, and tried to close the gap in the gap.

call……

A hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

After all, it is a data world, with a self-checking and repairing function, as long as the fracture is reconnected, it will quickly reorganize the data and repair the gap.

It wasn't until the gap was completely connected that Jiang Gezi withdrew his consciousness.

At this moment, he has been standing near the old stage for more than an hour.

Behind him, the knocking sound of the huge electronic hammer came continuously. As the electronic hammer fell, Jiang Gezi felt that there was a slight tremor in the game world.

Is it affected by those electronic fluctuations?

At this moment, someone patted Jiang Gezi on the shoulder.

Jiang Gezi looked back, but He Mingchuan was looking at him with a smile.

Seeing the gleam in Jiang Gezi's eyes, He Mingchuan carefully persuaded him: "Master Ganzi, don't be sad! It's okay! Even without your pole, you will always be an old man in our hearts." The pole master of Sanxiang."

Where did this come from?

Jiang Gezi looked up puzzled, hi!So this is ah.

What he stared blankly at was the place where the pole had been inserted.

Jiang Gezi couldn't explain it, so he patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said nonsense: "What are you thinking, my pole is fine! It was broken, and now I have found someone to take it to Zhongzhou to find a craftsman inlaid with gold and silver to repair it. It will be repaired in a few days, and it will be sent back..."

He Mingchuan immediately became happy, and even said, that's good, that's good.

What a big watermelon, it's on top of your head now!

It will also fan the wind!

See that tree overhead?

I was born!

Jiang Gezi raised his eyes helplessly to look at the leaves above his head. He couldn't figure out a lot of things, so he had no choice but to go back to the bodyguard office and sit by the newly painted lotus pond, staring blankly for a long time.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Gezi returned home with a watermelon-sized rain flower stone he found from the bottom of the pond. When he reached the door of the house, he vaguely saw some people carrying things out of the door.

There is also a scene where the driver of the villa is wearing white gloves, standing quietly at the entrance of the alley waiting for him.

Seeing him, the other party hurriedly opened the car door, but Jiang Gezi walked over to him and said, "Go back and talk to Yu Dongchi about something..."

Xu Shi called his master's name a bit impolite, the driver replied cautiously: "It's Ba Ye."

Jiang Gezi replied bluntly, "It's your eighth master!"

It's not my grandfather.

The driver immediately lowered his head and said apologetically, "Yes, you...do you want to go back now?"

Go back ass!

The electronic hammer kept hitting, and the beating made my liver tremble.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Gezi's eyes lit up, he suddenly pointed to the big tree above his head, and then pointed to the ground, and whispered to the driver with a mysterious and serious face, "Well... you should hurry back and talk to... your house. Ba Ye said, something went wrong! Those electronic hammers seem to be vibrating too much, and the tree roots below can’t hold it together, so ask him to find someone to talk about it, let’s use primitive tools to demolish it here!”

The driver obviously knew how powerful he was, so he nodded immediately, turned around and drove away quickly.

Seeing him walking away, Jiang Gezi couldn't help but feel a little, um... He nodded, clicked his mouth, and praised himself from the bottom of his heart with the best language.

Geez, I'm a big liar.

After praising, he walked home with the Yuhua Stone the size of a watermelon.

At the door of the house, a group of people were busy up and down. The old furniture on the second floor was carefully wrapped in felt by those people and were being carried out one by one.

When he got close, Uncle Huang, who was standing at the door of his house, greeted him, lowered his head, took him aside, handed him a thin envelope and said, "Master Gan, you are so lucky, look , It’s all done! It’s also a coincidence, these days, there are a lot of leaks... This is what an old nobleman from Wei State wanted. All the odds and ends in your house are paid for by others. The shot is very generous! I gave this amount!"

Uncle Huang looked satisfied with his fingers.

This is the price of renting an old house, but he sold all the broken vats and rotten flower pots of Grandpa Gan's house for an antique price.

Jiang Gezi was also quite satisfied. He passed the watermelon-sized round stone in his hand to Uncle Dihuang and said, "Here... thank you!"

As soon as Uncle Huang received it with both hands, his body sank immediately, and then he shouted: "Yo! Hey... what is this? It's so heavy? Yo! I dare not accept this, it's such a big gift! I mean Master Pole? You Where did you get that agate ball? Hey! It's a big agate ball!"

Jiang Gezi stopped in his tracks, looked at him puzzledly, and then at the stone.

This is agate?

Not the pebbles at the bottom of the pond?
