Chapter 157 Out of the City

“Lin little brother? Of course I remember! How come you are free? Are things done?”

The busy surnamed Ren was stunned for a moment, looked up, and quickly recognized Lin Xu.

After all, Lin Xu is the only person he knows with this appearance and temperament, and it is not that easy to forget.

“It’s done! I’m about to leave, I’ll stop by to see you! How’s it going, is the business okay?”

Lin Xu is not afraid that the sewage on the ground will stain his clothes, so he stepped Into the fish stall.

“It’s not as good as a few days ago, but it’s okay, it’s basically sold out.”

“That’s good.”

It seems that the giant whale gang The changes have not completely affected the lives of the bottom-level residents, so I feel more at ease.

Lin Xu thought to himself.

Mr. Ren originally wanted to wipe the stool behind him with his hands and let Lin Xu sit, but he raised his hand to see that his hands were also full of fish scales and mucus, so he could only give up with a wry smile .

“Young Master, be careful, don’t get your clothes dirty.”

Perhaps seeing Lin Xu dressed in neat clothes, Ren Lao also changed his mouth and called him Young Master .

Lin Xu didn’t insist on correcting it, he just said it didn’t matter.

In fact, what he wears is not fancy, but it is a little better and cleaner than the ordinary person.

However, he is handsome in appearance and has a dusty temperament, which immediately makes his clothes stand out.

Even if the dignitaries saw him, they wouldn’t look down on him.

even more how an ordinary old fisherman.

“Big Brother Ren, do you want me to help?” Lin Xu Imperial court old man said with a smile.

“Brother Lin…Young Master Lin, no need! I’m busy!”

The middle-aged man hurriedly refused.

“On the way here, I bought some snacks for Xiaomei!”

Xiaomei is Ren Lao’s granddaughter and the little girl who settles accounts beside her.

The dim sum was beautifully packaged and not cheap at first glance. Just as I was about to say no, Lin Xu stopped him.

“Don’t be polite to me for a little thing. Otherwise, I’ll be angry!”

Seeing Lin Xu like this, father and son can only Saying thank you, then putting things away.

“I don’t have anything to do. We will meet again if fated in the future.”

Lin Xu, who was not a good chatting expert at first, in order to avoid the embarrassment of staying, I found him. An excuse to leave.

The little girl who had been watching from the side seemed to have finally gathered up her courage, and just when Lin Xu was about to turn around and leave, she ran two steps to him.

“Uncle! Here’s to you!”

The little girl reached out and handed a polished tan conch to Lin Xu.

“Thank you!”

Lin Xu was a little surprised, this was the first sentence the other had said since they met.

He didn’t ask more, he smiled and reached out to take it, and looked at it, it was just an ordinary conch whistle.

He didn’t care much, put it in his pocket, said goodbye, turned and left, and quickly disappeared into the to-and-fro crowd.

Being busy until noon, the temperature gradually became hot, and the three grandsons and grandsons sold almost all the fish.

Pack up the scales, knives and other things, and the middle-aged man pulls the remaining trash to the nearby workshop.

Although it can’t sell for a few dollars, it’s better than pulling it back.

Everything was in order, and the three of them rushed to the city gate on a donkey cart.

“All line up! Three cents per person! Don’t blame the knife in my hand for not recognizing people!” Waist, hunched back, with five or six men with the same bad image, they were guarding the city gate to collect past tolls.

“Isn’t it already not collecting money? Why is it starting again! It’s three times more expensive than before, and it used to be a penny for one person!”

Someone complained below. Complain softly.

“The matter of the lord above, we can distinguish clearly there!”

Someone shook his head and sighed.

“In the past, it was the Giant Whale Gang to patrol Disciple, but today it was replaced by an official. Could it be that something happened to the Giant Whale Gang?”

Someone wondered.

“Silence! Don’t let people hear you!”

Someone who was traveling with him hurriedly reminded him, lest he collided with which “Divine Immortal”, not only he was unlucky, but also implicated Own.

“It’s really happened! It is said that several high-level executives of the Giant Whale Gang have died, and even the newly married son-in-law is gone! Now the entire Giant Whale Gang is in chaos, and it is all supported by a group of widows. They didn’t leave! But those widows were so obsessed with each other that they didn’t have the will to help! Because of this, people from the government took the opportunity to take over again!”

Someone seemed to know the inside information, beside him. said solemnly vowed.

It is rare to know the gossip of the high-level great character, and the people around show shock, curiosity and admiration, which makes the person who speaks a huge satisfaction.

The old man Ren and the three of them lined up while listening to the exchanges of passers-by.

The little girl had a hint of vigilance in her eyes, and wrapped the two boxes of dim sum from Lin Xu with a piece of fishy silk, her body tightly clinging to her father.

“It’s just two boxes of snacks, you made it like a baby! It will get dirty later, see if your mother beats you or not!”

Seeing her daughter’s cautious appearance , The middle-aged man couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Under the tough attitude of the guards, the team moved very fast, and it wasn’t long before the three of the Ren family took their turn.

“Nine pennies for three people! Bring it!”

The “Slim Noodles” guard glanced at it and immediately asked for money.

“Master official, do you think a child is exempt?” Mr. Ren said with a smile.

If the three cents are used sparingly, it is enough for their family’s rations for a day.

“en? Children are not human, right? Since you don’t want them, then leave the uncle to be a foot-washing maid!”

That “fine noodles” The guard was unreasonable at all. He said that he was going to pull the little girl. The little girl was frightened and hid in the arms of the middle-aged man. With a tense expression, the old man quickly reached out to stop him and apologized repeatedly.

“Master, little old man is wrong! little old man is wrong! I’ll give it now! I’ll give it now!”

“It’s over if you say so! pester and chirp !hmph!”

The guards were coldly snorted, and he also frightened the other side. He didn’t have the guts to steal people on the street.

Besides, this little girl, dark and swarthy, is thin, she looks like an ugly girl, and it’s not worth the risk for him.

Elder Ren took out the fishy-smelling purse from his arms, and was about to give it to the guard, but the guard rudely stretched out his hand, fortunately, he wasn’t overly enough to grab the purse. , I just reached in and grabbed a handful. Of course, I must take more.

Ren Lao dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and let the other party grab a handful and stuff it into his pocket, and then he took back the money bag with pain in his heart.

Heart, today is a waste of time! oh!

“Don’t get in the way! Don’t hurry up!”

The guard next to him urged the three to leave, rushing to accept the next one.

Just as the three of them were about to drive past, a sharp-eyed guard stared at the snack in the little girl’s hand.

“What is this? Could it be contraband! Bring it to me!”

Recommended ticket! Monthly pass! Here you go!
