The Heartless Mage Chapter 217: New tenant (1)


Wuxin is now fully grown, able to see people and travel far. He was so interested in going out to open his eyes to the strange new world outside.

He strongly approves of Sgoofy's escape plan, although Sgoofy does not intend to seek his advice at all. As for the alien son who is under the age of one, Shi Gaofei believes that as a father, he is very qualified to call the shots for him. Turning on the TV and tuning to the cartoon channel, he let Wuxin watch TV, while he was walking around upstairs and downstairs, trying to start packing. The contents of the bag are there, but the body of the bag is lacking. No one lived in the empty building before, and there was no inventory. Shi Gaofei was busy all night, and only found a torn snakeskin bag. Throwing the snakeskin bag on the ground, he raised his hand and scratched his hair, then went out and ran to the supermarket at the entrance of the village.

Wuxin has been paying attention to his movements. Hearing that he was really out the door, Wuxin slipped out of bed and turned on the computer. Holding the mouse in both hands, he moved the arrows on the screen left and right, and found the spiritual food that Sgoofy had accumulated over the years according to his memory. Picking a movie at random to open it, he stared straight at first, then opened his mouth, and when Shi Gaofei came home with two small schoolbags, he was already drooling. Shi Gaofei didn't expect his son to mature so early that when he pulled him away from the computer screen, there was a tent in his crotch. He shut down the computer impatiently and rebuked Wuxin: "What's so good about people on Earth? You're as unpromising as I am!"

Wuxin sat on the bed and looked up at him with red face and big eyes. He was ashamed, so he subconsciously imitated the big owl. After forty years with the big owl, he has learned a lot of posturing tricks.

Shi Gaofei sighed again old-fashioned, and continued to pack.

After a night like this, the next morning just after dawn, there was movement in the Shijiaxiaolou. Shi Gaofei was wearing a long coat and trousers, with one hand pulling Wuxin, who was also dressed in the same way. After carefully locking the door, they crept out of the alley and onto the asphalt road, walking side by side to the place where the rising sun rises. The backs of the two are tall and short, each carrying a schoolbag for elementary school students sold in the supermarket at the entrance of the village. The schoolbag is pink and printed with beautiful sheep.

Leave the village and continue to the east. It is not far from the Mars Town Coach Terminal. The destination is the only one, except for the county seat. Shi Gaofei and Wuxin got on the first bus, which was an air-conditioned bus. Wuxin occupied the window seat, and was too excited, so he fidgeted and looked around. Raising his hand and fiddling with the air-conditioning vent above his head, he thought of Bai Liuli and the big owl squatting in the mountains. There was a kind of schadenfreude joy in his heart, and at the same time he made a new evaluation of them proudly: "Two despicable owls. Turtle."

As soon as the time is up, the bus starts, stops at any time along the way, and picks up passengers along the way. Shi Gaofei's heart was beating like a drum, for fear that the next stopper would be Shi Yibiao or Shi Danfeng. With his arms crossed on the back of the seat in front, he leaned forward in a sleeping position, hiding a face tightly.

Once the bus left the bustling Martian town boundary, the speed naturally increased due to the desolation along the way, and the yellow smoke billowed all the way and ran away without a trace. When he arrived at the station two hours later, Shi Gaofei got off the bus with Wuxin, still uneasy, because if Shi Yibiao hadn't lied yesterday, he should be in the county at the moment. His father is a master who does not show the mountains and waters. Although he has a good fat body, he is a master who is hidden in the flesh. Once he makes a move, there will be serious consequences. Shi Gaofei was so precarious that he didn't dare to practice solo with his dad anyway. With one hand clenching his heart, he sneakily took his son down the path and ran directly to the train station.

Shi Gaofei had never really traveled far, and was at a loss for a while. Seeing that the nearest train just went to Jiangkou City, which is three hundred miles away, and Jiangkou City had been to him several times, he did not hesitate, immediately bought two tickets, and set off again with no intention.

Shi Gaofei left without saying hello, so he had been gone for three days before Shi Danfeng found out that his brother and nephew were gone together.

She couldn't knock on the courtyard door of Shijia's small building, so she called her brother, who kept turning off the phone. She climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard in person. She screamed at the window and kicked the door, and she had a bad premonition while shouting. After confirming her brother's disappearance, she broke out in a cold sweat, rolled and climbed on the electric bike and went home, crying and screaming to Zhao Xiufen: "Mom! Xiaofei ran away!"

Zhao Xiufen didn't take a breath, and a huge hiccup was held in her chest. She shivered and called Shi Yibiao, but she didn't dare to cry, she just said, "You scared Xiaofei away!"

Shi Yibiao was busy with his career and went home from his busy schedule. He first scolded the mother and daughter, and then walked around the floor full of worries, because he was about to do a big job recently and had no time to find his son. When he walked out of the house, Shi Danfeng had an idea, but caught up with him: "Dad, don't worry, I'm free, I'll find Xiaofei."

Shi Yibiao turned to look at her: "Where did you go to find it?"

Shi Danfeng replied: "I went to the county first, but the county did not go to the city. Xiaofei has never travelled far. He may just be afraid and want to find a place to hide."

Shi Yibiao frowned: "Okay, let's go."

Shi Danfeng followed him closely: "Dad, I'm leaving in the afternoon, you give me some travel expenses."

Shi Yibiao asked, "How much do you want?"

Shi Danfeng replied without hesitation: "350,000 is enough."

Shi Yibiao glared at him: "Do you want to charter a flight?"

Shi Danfeng calmly said: "Dad, I don't know how many days I have to live outside, the poor family is rich."

Shi Yibiao was stunned by what she said, and nodded confusedly. Shi Danfeng got 40,000 yuan for no reason and put all the money into her account. Because she thought the long-distance bus was too expensive, she took a long walk to the town railway station in the afternoon and bought a hard-seat train for 3 yuan and 50 cents. Tickets, went to the county seat.

While Shi Danfeng was wandering around the world at low cost, Shi Gaofei and Wuxin had settled down in Jiangkou City. Shi Gaofei has lived for twenty-five years, and for the first time he has tasted the taste of poverty. When he ran away from home, he only had ten thousand yuan in his hand. Splurge, but can't even afford to rent a decent house.

I can't afford to rent a decent one, so I have to rent a less decent one. There is a century-old street in the city. On both sides of the old street are old quirky shops, and there are occasionally deep alleys between the old shops, which are narrow and slender. . There are large and small courtyard gates open on both sides of the small alley. Some courtyards are clean and some are dirty. No matter what the image is, the houses themselves are uniformly old and dilapidated. In such a position, migrant workers are unwilling to come; in such an environment, white-collar workers are also unwilling to come. Therefore, the rent of the old house is very cheap. If you want to rent it, you can find a vacancy at any time.

Shi Gaofei didn't want to eat and sleep on the street, so he decided to enter the century-old street. The old street has no style and few tourists, which is exactly what he wants. In a fairly neat little yard, he and Wuxin got a room. The furniture in the house is complete, only tableware and bedding are needed.

They are not the only tenants. There are three bungalows in the courtyard, and the remaining two, according to the landlord, belong to a father and daughter. Among them, the windows of the main room are bright and clean, and a sign is hung at the door, which reads "I Ching Research Institute" in five big characters. The wing room was hung with floral curtains, and the situation in the room could not be seen clearly.

After the landlord left, Shi Gaofei also went out with Wuxin. After they bought a quilt and came back, they had just entered the hospital when the courtyard door rang, but two other tenants appeared.

Shi Gaofei and Wuxin were working together to make the bed, the door was open, and the muffled singing of a big girl humming came into the room. Shi Gaofei glanced out vigilantly, and saw a girl wearing a floral skirt and flat sandals-maybe fifteen or sixteen or seventeen or eighteen, her exposed calves and arms were round and white. Carrying a basket of green vegetables in her hand, she also curiously looked at Shi Gaofei and Wuxin, with a round face and big eyes, and suddenly smiled stupidly at the two of them in the room, and she laughed "hey" with two dimples.

Before she finished laughing, a mellow male voice resounded in the courtyard: "Jiaqi, don't look around."

Jiaqi obediently returned to the house with the vegetables. Shi Gaofei turned to Wuxin and whispered, "She looks a bit like Lin Jiaxin."

Inadvertently, I went to the bed and sat down, looking around at the old table, old chairs and old screen windows in the room. It is still a small building in the village, spacious and bright, but I can't blame Shi Gaofei. Scruffy was so nice to him that he decided to go crazy with Scruffy.

"Dad." He said to Scofield naturally, "I'm hungry."
