Chapter 3 Repaying with Bacon

"Brother Cheng, thank you so much just now." This is the tenth time that Zhao Yufei has thanked Cheng Mo.

After the man and the woman left, Cheng Mo found out after careful investigation that these two people often do such activities in the West Market in order to extort money. However, what puzzled Cheng Mo was that Zhao Yufei was not expensive in clothes, and the jewelry on her head was not made of pure gold. She was obviously not a rich man, so why did these two people come to her?

The insider said: "Where can they afford to be a identifiable family?"

Cheng Mo suddenly realized.

At this time, when Zhao Yufei thanked him again, Cheng Mo smiled slightly and said, "It's just a simple task, so you have to be polite."

Zhao Yufei nodded and agreed, Xingxing looked at Cheng Mo, but after a while, he said the same thing again.

The two talked and walked together for a long time until the bell rang at the closing market and then left the gate of the West City.

It was a coincidence that Zhao Yufei lived in the alley next to Cheng Mo. Most of the areas where the small yard was located were ordinary people. Zhao Yufei only had an old lady in her family, and the mother and daughter lived by needlework.

Cheng Mo returned to the courtyard and made a fire to cook. People here eat two meals a day, but usually don’t eat at noon. After he got here, he kept eating three meals. He didn’t eat at noon today and walked for another day. Now he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back.

After the porridge was cooked, Cheng Mo sighed helplessly. He had to eat white porridge again at night. It seemed that he had to make some pickled vegetables and meat.

Cheng Mo just picked up the bowl and said in a gentle voice outside the door: "Does Brother Cheng live here?"

Zhao Yufei looked at the closed wooden door nervously. Thinking of how old she was, she knocked on the man's door for the first time, and one door was pounding. She looked around, but fortunately no one noticed it.

The door opened with a "ah" sound, and Cheng Mo's handsome face appeared at the door. Zhao Yufei came to him so late, and he was surprised, but he was a person who could control his emotions, so he naturally would not put surprise on his face and said with a smile: "Miss Yufei, please come in."

Zhao Yufei's face turned redder, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito, "Okay."

In the small hall, next to the kerosene lamp, a bowl of white porridge and a pair of chopsticks. The yard is too small, with only two wing rooms and a small kitchen, and there is no restaurant. Cheng Mo alone eats his whole family and is not hungry, so he eats it casually in the hall.

Zhao Yufei smiled on her lips, put the small bag in her hand on several tables, and gently opened it. The aroma of the meat was revealed, but it was a piece of bacon.

"Thank you very much for Brother Cheng in the afternoon. I'm a little careful. Please accept it." Zhao Yufei lowered her head and said what she thought about after thinking about it. The preparation of thanking her repeatedly along the way finally came to an end. She felt relieved and she was no longer as nervous as she was when she first arrived outside the door.

Cheng Mo smiled and said, "I have already said it, it's just a matter of raising hands."

That's the case, but he didn't mean to reject bacon. The courtyard can be said to be a bare wall, not to mention the copper plates for buying meat, if this continues, even rice will be gone. It's really not difficult for Cheng Mo to make money, but he is a little reluctant to the busy and labor-intensive days he used to be.

As she came in, Zhao Yufei took a few glances secretly. Seeing that the yard was cleaned up, she felt more fond of Cheng Mo. She had inquired before she came. His parents died and were single, so she was a little gambled. In the afternoon, the big man made her heart frightened, and she wanted to escape but her legs were sore. At least one or two hundred people were watching the fun. He was the only one who stood up and scared the big man away. Such a man was acceptable even if he was a little gambled.

The girl's heart was standing in front of several tables and secretly glanced at Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo was slightly embarrassed and asked Zhao Yufei to take a free and easy way. He just went to Yulinwei to take leave tomorrow. As long as he went to work, he would get a salary.

People in this era sit on mats, their legs are closed together and kneel on the mats laid on the ground.

The lights were hazy, and the two sat opposite each other. Cheng Mo's handsome face, beautiful sword eyebrows, and his touching beautiful eyes were as bright as stars, making Zhao Yufei unable to say a word.

Cheng Mo is not a talkative person. The two sat silently for a while, and Zhao Yufei stood up reluctantly to say goodbye. She walked out of the wood door, looked back for a while before turning around and going home.

The porridge on several tables was already cold, and Cheng Mo was hot, so he ate it with bacon.

The next morning, Cheng Mo packed up and went out to the palace.

The Imperial Street is very wide, and from time to time, horses or carriages gallop past. Cheng Mo slowed down and felt the majestic atmosphere of the ancient imperial city.

Several horses galloped past, but they both tied the reins together, turned the horse's head one after another, and stopped in front of Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo felt someone blocking the way, so he came back from his thoughts and raised his eyes. The four people in front of him were all dressed in the costumes of the Yulin Guard, with a sarcastic smile on his face. The first one was twenty-five or six years old, with a figure of loving Wu, and joked: "Isn't this Cheng Wu? I heard that you went to the casino to kick the casino and became unconscious. Why, it's gone so soon?"

He ranks fifth among the Cheng Mo clan, and his colleagues called him Cheng Wulang.

As soon as he finished speaking, his companions burst into laughter, and someone continued: "Second Brother Wu really put a gift on his face. Whatever you do when you kick the house, we Yulinwei lost all the faces."

Someone said again: "Hey, Cheng Wu, aren't you almost dying? Why are you still here?"

Cheng Mo naturally didn't recognize these people. He blinked his beautiful peach blossom eyes and said seriously: "I went to the Hall of Hell. King Yama said that I have a long life and a long life. I am a person with great potential. I will worship generals and become ministers in the future. So he scolded Heibai Wuchang and sent me back respectfully."

The four of them were stunned, and then burst into laughter. The laughter attracted the eyes of passers-by. One of them laughed so hard that tears came out, and pointed at Cheng Mo and said, "You kid is really good at bragging. You are still worshipping the general and entering the prime minister? If you can worship the general and entering the prime minister, I will definitely become an immortal."

Cheng Mo blinked his peach blossom eyes again and said, "Okay, let's bet."

"Hahaha!" The laughter became louder, and the four of them bent over. Brother Wu smiled and pointed at Cheng Mo, saying, "You kid are really dead."

If he had no money to go to the casino, he would bet with his colleagues. In their opinion, Cheng Mo was notorious. Who would bet with him? Wouldn't he bet with him? They are not as stupid as him?

Cheng Mo spread his hands and looked lonely as a master, saying, "You are smart. You know you will lose, so you dare not gamble."

Cheng Mo has never cared about the kind-hearted teasing. He had long expected that his colleagues would see him like this, after all, Cheng Mo gave them a bad impression. This cannot be changed in a day or two.

"Oh, my stomach hurts because I laughed." A man fell on the horse's back and said, "Cheng Wu, you are so funny."

The fourth brother Wu is named Wu Kong, the fourth son of Ji'an Hou, and the head of the four. He smiled for a while, forced a smile and said, "You boy is getting poorer and poorer, be careful to be knocked out again. Let's go."

The last sentence was said to the companion. The few of them ignored Cheng Mo and rushed away.
