After burying the Chen family's father and daughter, Xiao Sanniang turned around and glanced at Zhang Chongyang curiously.

"A gentleman has something to do and something not to do...... This sentence is kind of interesting.

Zhang Chongyang thought that he had won the favor of this Xiao Sanniang, but her next sentence directly made his face blacken.

Xiao Sanniang teased: "But old man Zhang, you said that you are an old bone, and you call yourself a gentleman, how can you be embarrassed to say it?"

"Hahaha~" Seeing Zhang Chongyang deflated, Xiao Sanniang laughed three times and turned to leave.

'I want you to take care of it, you ugly bastard!' Zhang Chongyang looked at Xiao Sanniang's bewitching back, and grinded his teeth angrily.

Seeing the people go away, Zhang Chongyang retracted his gaze, and the anger that had just been teased came and went quickly.

After all, the deceased was the greatest, and he bowed three times to the graves of the Chen family's father and daughter.

Feeling that the evil charm in his arms was faintly hot, Zhang Chongyang didn't dare to stay for a long time, and hurriedly left the cemetery.

Chen Fang's death was like a haze hanging over Zhang Chongyang's head, which made him upset for several days.

On this day,

Yuan Yi came to the door.

Zhang Chongyang had already drunk all the spiritual tea he had purchased in Fang City last month, so he could only serve her with a cup of cold water.

Yuan Yi put the water cup to her mouth, and before she could drink it, she put the cup down, and her heart was written directly on her face.

Zhang Chongyang didn't know the purpose of Yuan Yi's coming, and he didn't rush to urge her, so he waited quietly.

The two sat in silence for a long time, and Yuan Yi finally said, "I, I've thought about it." "

Huh?" Zhang Chongyang raised his head, and there was not much expression in his cloudy pupils.

"Zhang Daoyou, I'm sorry, I still want an heir.

At this moment, Zhang Chongyang's face appeared with the first smile in several days.

He said softly: "Needless to say I'm sorry, I respect your choice very much, and at the same time wish you can find a satisfactory Taoist partner as soon as possible, and I wish you an early birth to a noble son."

"Thank you......

" Yuan Yi drank the water in the cup in one gulp, put down the cup and stood up: "Then I won't disturb Zhang Daoyou's cultivation." "

Okay!"

Although the words were said and the result was desired by both sides, the atmosphere on the field undoubtedly became much more awkward.

So Yuan Yi planned to leave, and Zhang Chongyang did not make a false retention.

He sent Yuan Yi to the door.

"Zhang Daoyou, can we still be friends?" Yuan Yi walked and walked, his steps paused, and he suddenly turned back.

Zhang Chongyang smiled and nodded: "Of course!"

Yuan Yi also smiled, and the extra estrangement between the two disappeared at this moment.

......

A few days later.

It's time to make breakfast.

In the kitchen, Zhang Chongyang picked up the last piece of firewood and threw it into the stove, saying,

"The firewood is out at home, so I'll have to go out and enter a batch later." "

In my memory, there was a casual cultivator surnamed Hu in their Cypress Hutong who specialized in the firewood business.

The timber comes from the forest outside the city, although it can be taken from the periphery, and the danger is not great, but the business itself is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the profit is not high, and the profit is hard-earned money, so the competition is very small.

Cypress Hutong seems to be a firewood business with the surname Hu, and it has been 'monopolized' for more than ten years.

But I didn't get rich, that is, a livelihood to support my family.

After the meal, Zhang Chongyang appeared at the door of Hu's house, stepped forward and knocked on the door, waited for a while, heard footsteps and came to the door, and the other party asked through the door, "Who?"

Listening to the voice, it was a young female cultivator.

Zhang Chongyang took a step back and responded, "Is it Hu Daoyou's house? I'm here to buy firewood."

"It's not. The family that sold firewood has already moved, and my family has just moved here. "

May I ask Daoyou, where did Hu Daoyou's family move?"

"I don't know ......"

From beginning to end, the other party didn't open the door, indicating that he didn't want to deal with Zhang Chongyang more.

After eating a closed door here, Zhang Chongyang was not angry.

Apologize and turn away.

It's just that Hu Daoyou's family moved away, and now he doesn't know who to find to buy firewood.

There seems to be a family surnamed Wang in Qingshui Hutong next door who is also doing firewood business?

It's a little far away......

But it really can't be done without firewood at home, even if he can pick up the dead branches and leaves of the cypress tree in his yard for a few days, it is not a long-term solution.

Just when Zhang Chongyang decided to go to the alley next door, an acquaintance came up to him.

"It's Zhang Daoyou, you're here to buy firewood, right?"

"Don't hide it from Jin Daoyou, exactly."

Zhang Chongyang said with some regret: "It's a pity that I just heard that Hu Daoyou's family has moved away."

"Does Jin Daoyou know where Hu Daoyou's

family has moved?" "Hey—their family has moved to a shantytown in the west of the city. Zhang

Chongyang frowned, that place is equivalent to a slum, the environment is dirty and messy, and the law and order are also the most chaotic.

I heard that as long as there is no big mess, Changchun Gate basically won't ask.

So there are quite a few gangs there.

If there is one benefit, it is probably the cheaper rent.

However, if there is a choice, Zhang Chongyang believes that the vast majority of people will not be willing to live there.

Hu Daoyou's family made a living by selling firewood, and although they barely had enough to support their family, at least their lives were relatively secure in Cypress Hutong, so how could they suddenly move to a shantytown in the west

of the city? Zhang Chongyang couldn't help but ask:

"Jin Daoyou, do you know why the Hu family moved?" "Last month, Hu Daoyou

went out of the city to cut wood and was killed by the murderer, and I went to carry the body back. Zhang

Daoyou also knew that Hu Daoyou was the backbone of the Hu family, and as soon as he fell, he left Hu's sister-in-law a widow with two children who had not yet grown up, and the firewood business would definitely not be done. "

Hey, it's also a poor man......

" After hearing the fate of the Hu family, Zhang Chongyang sighed lightly, although he did not hold out hope, but still asked: "Who is the murderer who killed Hu Daoyou? Jin Daoyou has any suspicions?" "Who knows, Hu Daoyou

is an honest man, I have never heard of who he has a grudge with, and it is estimated that he is also unlucky to be robbed this time."

Speaking of this, Jin Ming glanced at Zhang Chongyang with envy and said, "Zhang Daoyou is 100 years old this year, right?

"Hehe, you envy me for living a long time, and I envy you for cultivating at a young age to be taller than me. Zhang Chongyang said.

"Although I am forty years old this year, but I feel that it is acceptable for this young age to come out of Zhang Daoyou's mouth, haha......" Zhang

Chongyang didn't expect that this person was still a humorous person.

Next, I asked Jin Daoyou about who was in the firewood business nearby, and then parted ways with him.

The information provided by Jin Ming did not differ much from the memories in his mind, and the most recent firewood business was the Wang family in Qingshui Hutong next door.

Zhang Chongyang took advantage of the fact that it was still early, went to the door to pre-purchase 200 catties of wood, and after telling the address, he went home.

On the same day, the Wang family sent two hundred catties of timber to the door, and Zhang Chongyang paid the business at the price of 1.5 taels of gold for one hundred catties of timber.

According to the consumption rate of firewood in the previous two months, these two hundred catties of wood should be enough for Zhang Chongyang to burn for about three months.

After solving the firewood problem, Zhang Chongyang resumed his ascetic days again.

Days passed, and he was the only gray-haired old man in the courtyard.

During this period, Yuan Yi visited once and brought him some spiritual tea leaves, but he didn't sit down, saying that there were guests at home, and left with a simple greeting.

After that, every ten days and a half months, Yuan Yi would come over to visit the door, but without the interest of sitting under the cypress tree and brewing spiritual tea, knocking melon seeds and watching Zhang Chongyang practice swords, he basically sat on a cup of tea and left.

It's rent payment time again.

Liu Biao still asked Zhang Chongyang to hand over two spirit stones.

He didn't reason with the other party, and turned it in honestly, but just added another stroke to Liu Biao in his heart.

Most recent...... No, at the end of last month, Zhang Chongyang asked Yuan Yi to go to Fang City to purchase fifty catties of spiritual rice for himself, he thought it would be enough for him to eat until the middle of this month, but he didn't expect it to be gone soon.

Including the animal skin talisman paper for making talismans, as well as the spirit stones on the body, they all need to be replenished.

Zhang Chongyang decided that he would go to Fang City in person.

In fact, he was not ready to face Ma Sanye, after all, his sword intent was still in the introductory stage.

But Zhang Chongyang believes that it is impossible for Ma Sanye to deliberately ambush Chen Fang halfway like he did last time.

After all, if you really have such a deep hatred with him, even if he doesn't go out, the other party will definitely kill him a long time ago.

Burglary and murder, as long as the movement does not make too much trouble, and the scene is dealt with afterwards, even if the follow-up law enforcement team comes to the door, at most they will help collect the body, who will seriously find out the truth? Give justice to the deceased?

Of course, except if you have a background.

In the room, Zhang Chongyang counted the talismans, a total: forty-one hemostatic talismans, seven evil talismans, five cleansing talismans, three poison dispel talismans, one talisman, one light talisman, and one thunder talisman, all of them were put on their bodies, took their weapons, went out, and went towards the Fang City ......
