Chapter 81 The Pearl on the Palm(1/3)

More than forty minutes later, Mingzhu's door was pushed open.

Such a noticeable noise would naturally not escape Fang Xiao's ears. He raised his head slightly, put down the wooden box that was not big or small in his hand, and looked out from the tightly closed window.

His younger brother did not wear a windbreaker anymore, but folded the windbreaker on his arms in half. The shirt on his body was much casually compared to before, and the wrinkles and traces of pulling on the shirt could also be seen.

The messy black hair seemed to have been wet with sweat, not as soft as before, and a look of satisfaction on his face. He was much lazy when walking. Whether it was because of fatigue or not, he seemed to be no longer full of guard against the other party's house.

The younger brother looked up and met Fang Xiao through the window.

The pair of glasses wearing gold-edged glasses were properly placed on the bridge of his nose, but this time the glasses failed to make him look gentler. Instead, they conflicted with the temperament of his body, making people feel dangerous for no reason.

Fang Xiao raised the corner of his mouth.

Fang Xing seems to be more similar to him, and others will know that they are brothers at a glance.

"Brother." Yu Xing accelerated his pace and walked towards Fang Xiao. Fang Xiao opened the door to welcome him in. He did not have any doubts about his condition. Instead, he took the windbreaker and hung it on the coat rack, and asked with a smile-

"How does it feel?"

Yu Xing coughed lightly, as if he remembered the way he said he didn't need it before, and was a little embarrassed to be seen through: "It's not bad."

"Sister-in-law, she... is very charming."

"Since it's not bad, why don't you stay in there for a while? I thought you wouldn't think of me in less than two hours." Fang Xiao teased him.

Yu Xing rubbed his swelling temples and licked his lips: "My approach is a bit troublesome. My sister-in-law must have been tired last night, right? I... I don't have the heart to let her be tossed for too long. And I just came back, so I can't scare my sister-in-law, just click."

"...Scared?" Fang Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then seemed to be aroused by interest. "Is it possible that my brother has more tricks than me. Did he learn it in the outside world? It's really interesting."

"...Brother, we two are not suitable for this kind of thing." Yu Xing blushed, as if no matter what he was in front of a woman, he still was not used to talking about this topic directly when facing his brother who had not seen him for a long time.

His painter's character in this world is not a very obvious person. I believe that Fang Xiao could have noticed this in his previous correspondence with him.

If you are too out of place, you will pass the boundary, which will cause doubt.

Fang Xiao stopped talking very clearly and asked only one more question: "Mingzhu is okay, right?"

"My sister-in-law is fine, she is just a little tired, she fell asleep in the room. Brother, don't worry, I'm very sensible. At most, it will only make my sister-in-law's skin more traces, but it will not hurt her."

Yu Xing let out a long sigh, moved his wrist, then picked up the collar and sang it: "I feel uncomfortable sweating, I want to take a shower."

"Okay, I expected that you still love cleanliness so much. You have prepared bath water for you in another room. Just on the right side, just go directly." Fang Xiao paused, "By the way, where is the cylinder you carry with you?"

He is talking about painting tubes.

Because he came back as a passenger, Yu Xing carried his travel bag when he came to Fang Mansion, and there was a painting tube that was almost always on his waist. The travel bag was removed when he was pulled into this room by Fang Xiao for the first time and placed it on the storage locker.

And that painted tube was not a big problem, Fang Xiao ignored him before and asked him to carry it on his back, but now it is gone.

"Ah, I forgot." Yu Xing sighed while covering his forehead, "I'm still in my sister-in-law's room, I'll go and get it after taking a shower..."

He murmured to himself and remembered that he had not asked Fang Xiao for his opinion: "Brother, can I usually go in and out of my sister-in-law's room?"

usually.

Fang Xiao had no resistance to such words that meant to stay. He simply hoped that his younger brother could express more of this meaning, so he did not hesitate: "Of course, I have shared Mingzhu with you, and now she is also yours."

"Go and take a shower. Mom came to urge me again just now. After the shower, you can go to her place to chat for a while."

"..." When talking about his mother, Yu Xing obviously did not get persuaded as quickly as he was in front of Fang Xiao, because when he was a child, Fang Xiao was at least for his own good and kept resisting the invisible things for him, but this so-called mother only hurt him.

The gentleness on his face faded, and he only whispered: "I understand."

Fang Xiao looked at his back as he walked to take a shower, and his dark pupils were deep.

What a pity, their dear mother Xu Wan, can't die yet, and it's much more useful to live than killing her to vent her anger.

But sooner or later one day... Sooner or later, there will be only two brothers and Mingzhu here, and oh, and perhaps more valuable outsiders will be left by him. But all those who have hurt them will disappear forever in his world.

...

Fang Xiao prepared a wooden basin for bathing, and hot water was already placed inside.

In such cold weather, soaking in hot water after intense exercise can relieve fatigue is simply too comfortable.

After Yu Xing entered this room that was probably specially used for bathing, he relaxed the expression on his face and used the hidden power of curses to investigate the room.

Very good, at least nothing is unusual here.

A new set of clothes had been placed beside the steaming wooden barrel, so Yu Xing had just lie in and soaked for a while. At this time, the system must be blocked.

After sitting down, the water surface reached the position of his chest. He leaned his head back and placed it on the edge of the wooden barrel, looking at the wooden beams on the ceiling of the room in an open space.

The townspeople in the town's buildings are living their lives with time in this world. They have a kitchen and a bathroom at home, and they want to take a shower or bathtub. In contrast, Fang Xiao, the controller, has a more inconvenient life than everyone else because they stay in Fang Mansion.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, everything in the town was actually created by Fang Xiao. When he created these, wouldn’t he feel unhappy about being limited to his past living standards?

During the forty minutes in Mingzhu's room, he did not waste time, but asked Mingzhu to tell her everything she had experienced in her perspective.

From the timeline, Mingzhu should be a veritable "modern person" and is in the same era as the lives of the townspeople, because she appeared after the world has taken shape, just like Yu Xing-

They are all people who are used to modern life.

But when Yu Xing thinks of the image of not forgetting the center, he can feel the inconsistency.

In the afterimage he saw in the private room, Mingzhu was still a pretty little girl. Although she was not in a good mood when she sat in the private room at that time, her fashionable hair and a spirited and fashionable dress can still show her true personality to a certain extent.

But that kind of small dress is like the style in a metropolis during the Republic of China, and is a hundred years behind the modern era.

Mingzhu's family talked about Fang Deming's beating and killing waiter at Buying Wuwuju, which doesn't sound like the thinking of a modern rule of law society, which is very strange.

Although Yu Xing had guessed what the complete worldview looked like, this small piece of puzzle pieces could not be pieced together.

Until Mingzhu took the initiative to inform.

She said that her family is in transportation business and mainly opens up river transportation routes. Her family is very rich, but she is not a prominent family. She is a family that is rich but has insufficient foundation.

So she has been a highly favored girl since she was a child, enjoying a very high level of material life, but she does not have the hearts of the young masters and ladies in the higher-level rich circles.

Simply put, it may be a bit silly and sweet.

The name Mingzhu was named by her father, which is a bit tacky and has a very straightforward meaning - she is the pearl in her parents' eyes.

It was because of this name that Yu Xing really couldn't tell which era she was from at the beginning.

During the summer vacation when Mingzhu graduated from high school, because she was really bored, she heard that her uncle was going to talk about transportation business with a tourist town she had never worked with before, so she insisted on following her.

Their family business is not large in size and lasts for three generations. Now they are Mingzhu's father as the leader of the company, while people from his uncle's lineage are assisting.

That being said, this is just an obvious difference in position. They always work together when doing business, and the family relationship is very harmonious.

Mingzhu asked her uncle to take her out, and his father was relieved by a hundred times. So she and her uncle and several cousins ​​who were already involved in business came to Nanshui Town by boat.

At this time, the port of Nanshui Town was normal, but it was a little bleak. The passing ships were far from reaching the throughput that the port itself could accommodate, and even fewer people were walking around the port area.

Their group got off the boat and the people who wanted to discuss business with them were waiting early. Mingzhu didn't want to go to the restaurant with them while chatting about business and having dinner, so she proposed to stroll around and have fun by herself.

In this era, mobile phones and other communication are quite convenient, and they are no longer the same rule as before that girls are not allowed to go out alone.

Mingzhu walked out of the port and came to the town.

The town is much more lively.

This town may not have developed very well. Many buildings are very old and have dark tones. At first glance, it is an old house that has been built for a long time.

Fortunately, the people here are very enthusiastic, and they have a sense of simplicity that Mingzhu has never seen in big cities. She shops while shopping. After asking about the passing, she walked towards the direction of the most famous Baibao Street in Nanshui Town.

Even though she is stupid and careless, she has learned a lot of rules from childhood to adulthood. In her opinion, this kind of broken town is not qualified to be called a tourist town. It is not that she looks down on anything, but that it obviously does not meet the rigid standards. It can only be said that it is a contribution to marketing by relying on just one street.

The department responsible for managing this matter should have turned a blind eye. After all, if Nanshui Town wants to develop, it cannot find any other way out.

She had known this for a long time, so she came to Nanshui Town not for travel, she just regarded this trip as a relaxing and relaxation after the college entrance examination.

There were many tourists on the street who seemed to be from other places like her. What was strange was that all the tourists seemed to be in high spirits and did not express any dissatisfaction with this ordinary scene.

Mingzhu didn't think much about it and paid someone to ride a tricycle to take her to the location of Baibao Street.

There are no taxis in the town, and those human-powered three-wheelers replaced the status of taxis in the city and became vehicles specially used for transportation.

Mingzhu was curiously chatting with the driver all the way when she was sitting on a tricycle, because she had seen this kind of car when she was a child, but after she was ten years old, she disappeared without realizing it. The world is developing too fast. The human-powered tricycle evolved from the previous rickshaw driver, and replaced the driver with his legs to the driver riding and taking people with him. But when taxis began to become popular, these slow-paced vehicles were replaced by rapid succession without any suspense.

Perhaps only such a town can retain some traces of time.

Mingzhu listened to a coachman in her forties telling her the past stories of Nanshui Town on a tricycle. At this point, a general appeared, who protected Nanshui Town for generations. During the most turbulent period in modern times, it was precisely because of this general's mansion that Nanshui Town was not disturbed by bandits.

Mingzhu asked curiously: "What's the surname of that general? Is his mansion still there?"

The coachman only regretted that the general had no name and the mansion had long been gone because people failed the general. The general was disheartened and left this homeland. The house was soon abandoned and demolished by the indifferent short-sighted ones when the new era first began to develop.

"That's a pity." Mingzhu agreed, but muttered in her heart. If there was such a general's mansion who had been guarding the town for so many years, how could he not even keep his surname once he left?

Perhaps it was also fabricated for the gimmick of travel.

The tricycle is not fast and slow. The advantage is that it doesn’t have to be as tired as walking by yourself. Mingzhu took a morning to get from the port in the east of the town to where Baibao Street is located. After getting off the car, she felt sore in her butt.

She looked up at the intersection of Baibao Street and vaguely saw the eaves of the ancient buildings inside. She thought that there was finally something interesting to see, and there was no need to buy tickets here. She walked in without any warning.

Mingzhu didn't expect that from the moment she stepped into Baibao Street, it was the beginning of her nightmare in her life. Everything she had left her, and the relatives who cared about her died because of her.

Baibao Street is indeed a well-preserved ancient street, and it is very long. It not only has the main street, but also many forks that extend out. You can see many different surprises when you go around.

There are the most tourists here. Just like other scenic spots Mingzhu has been to, tourists with different accents pass by each other on the street, and may not have the fate to meet again in their lifetime. This is the unique elegance of passers-by in a foreign land.

As she walked around, she came to an unpopular alley. Because the alley was a little hidden, and unlike other places, even a narrow fork wall was exquisitely decorated. The alley was too dark, and no one would pay special attention to it.
