Help!There are monsters in this pawnshop

Chapter 61 Destiny is hard to defy
"Who are you?"

Zhu Xiaozhou looked at the boy.

He didn't make a sound, so he had to ask again.

I saw that young man was wearing coarse clothes, his complexion was rough and yellow, but his bones were very good.

It was——

A rare general's talent!
But there is a vertical scar between the eyebrows, just split from the middle, this is a short-lived appearance.

General, short-lived.

Could it be that he will be the one who died on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiaozhou gasped, and a thought came to his mind.

Could he be Meng Chuo that Professor Lu was looking for?

"My name is Jing Chong——" the young man answered Zhu Xiaozhou's searching gaze with a straight face.

Zhu Xiaozhou couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed a lot.

Fortunately, the boy in front of him was not that person.

She hasn't figured it out yet, if she really meets Meng Chuo, how to tell him what will happen next.You can't spoil it in advance, tell him not to save a tribute girl from Fanbang, right?
The boy averted his eyes.

Staring straight at the hand that Zhu Xiaozhou tried to distract him and hid behind his back.

He asked curiously, "What is that?"

Seeing that Zhu Xiaozhou couldn't get away with it, he was discouraged, so he had to take it out from behind——

The cold jade reflected the beautiful moonlight, shining faintly in the palm of Zhu Xiaozhou's hand.

There is a layer of algae-colored faint light, which is quite strange.

Not only was Jing Chong not afraid, he even came up to him and looked at it carefully.

Let out a heartfelt exclamation, "Wow——"

Zhu Xiaozhou was amused by him, and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

Jing Chong raised his head and stared into Zhu Xiaozhou's eyes, as if he didn't understand why Zhu Xiaozhou asked such a question. "Why are you afraid?"

"But you didn't watch it all just now." See?
Zhu Xiaozhou was surprised, what he blurted out almost revealed something.

She was sure—

Jing Chong witnessed what happened to her by the well.

Watching her take out the cold jade, how could she not be afraid?

When she was young, the first time she saw her grandmother reach into the empty jar and take out half of her withered hand and the dagger she was holding, she was so frightened that she didn't even eat dinner that night.

Hid in the quilt and shivered all night.

This child named Jing Chong is not afraid at all.

only--

Zhu Xiaozhou looked around and wondered why he would stay here alone in the middle of the night. "Whose child are you? It's so late, why are you here?"

"My grandmother does some chores for the guest house every day, and the shopkeeper gave my family two pancakes. I'm here to pick up my grandmother!" Jing Chong said confidently.

His father joined the army and died in battle two years ago.

In addition to his mother and him, there is also a pair of younger brothers and sisters who are only three or four years old.

Jing Chong is the eldest brother, so he naturally shoulders the burden.

Their mother found a job as a handyman in the guest house, washing and cleaning every day, and could exchange two pancakes——

Although there are not many, it is not enough to starve to death.

Something happened in the inn today, which delayed his mother's time to leave work.

After Jing Chong put his younger siblings to sleep, he came to the inn to pick up his mother.

He dared not go through the front door.

He took a detour and planned to come in through the back door of the inn to find his mother.

But before I got close, I saw a lot of people around the back door of the guest house, which was inexplicably "lively".Some of those people were dressed as servants, as if something had happened.

So, he waited outside the door until everyone had left before walking in.

Who knows-

It just happened to be such a coincidence that Zhu Xiaozhou stuck his hand into the well and was caught by a dry hand.Afterwards, Zhu Xiaozhou had something with a cold light in his hand.
He didn't know what it was.

But he is not stupid, he can feel that Zhu Xiaozhou in front of him is not an ordinary person.

"Chong'er!"

Jing Chong's mother heard the sound and found Zhu Xiaozhou standing in front of Jing Chong.She ran over in panic, grabbed Jing Chong, and kept her young son behind her.

Zhu Xiaozhou felt her fear. "Don't be afraid, we're just chatting casually."

"I know who you are!" Jing Chong's mother had heard about what happened in the guest room earlier, and she knew that Zhu Xiaozhou in front of her was a "weird" person. "I beg you my son my son he's 7 years old! He can't."

She was terrified and tried to hide her son.

It was as if she was worried that Zhu Xiaozhou would hurt her son.

Zhu Xiaozhou lowered her head and smiled wryly. She didn't expect that in this era, she would still be regarded as a witch.

"Don't worry, I didn't mean to hurt him. I just saw that his bones are very good. I heard that your husband died in the battle. You have had a hard time. But now the guesthouse probably won't be able to continue. What will you do in the future? Do you have any plans?"

She felt somewhat guilty.

Unexpectedly, arresting Lu Yi would cause difficulties for Jing Chong's family.

From now on, even the only two pancakes I have every day are gone, how can I live like this.

"I don't need you—" Jing Chong's mother resisted her very much.

Zhu Xiaozhou took out the bag of loose knives and coins that Lu Yi gave her earlier, grabbed a handful and handed it to her.

Her eyes suddenly lit up!

He hesitated, but dared not answer.

Zhu Xiaozhou turned around and wanted to hand Jing Chong the handful of money in his hand.

Jing Chong was about to step forward to take it when his mother stopped him.It seems that he is still wondering if Zhu Xiaozhou has no good intentions.

"Take it."

Zhu Xiaozhou raised his hand as a signal.

Only then did Jing Chong step forward, holding a handful of coins with both hands.

This money is enough to feed them for a year or two.
"My money is also clean. The shopkeeper harmed people first, and many people were killed by him. He will naturally have to pay the price for his actions. I help you because I didn't know before that you have to rely on guesthouses to make a living. I was also the one who indirectly cut off your money. But it is definitely not that I regret exposing his evil deeds."

Zhu Xiaozhou emphasized that she did not regret arresting Lu Yi.

"I will definitely return this money to you." Jing Chong assured her firmly.

".No need."

Zhu Xiaozhou, who has always loved money, resolutely rejected Jing Chong's repayment this time.

Standing upstairs, Bai Yuan and Si Ming, who had been paying attention to them, were deeply puzzled.

Si Ming was shocked, and turned his head to secretly look at the emperor's reaction——

What's going on here?Suddenly it seemed like a different person.

But Zhu Xiaozhou couldn't help but think of what happened not long ago just at that moment.

It was originally intended to repay, but I didn't expect so much trouble to be involved.

Forget it, only this time, it's a good deed. "Then what will you do after that?"

Jing Chong looked at his mother, and he told Zhu Xiaozhou that a general that his father followed before his death wanted to pick him up.If he joins the army, he will be able to afford the life of his mother and two younger siblings in the future.

"That's good." Zhu Xiaozhou murmured, now he can rest assured.

"If she knows, this child is the one she's looking for." Si Ming looked at Dijun timidly, intending to ask him to remind her.

Jing Chong is the future Meng Chuo——

It is also the person Zhu Xiaozhou has been looking for.

Bai Yuan's eyes dimmed, "I have to do something, these days, you stay and watch her."

"What?" Si Ming was shocked, beads of sweat slipped from his forehead.

want him to—

Looking at this little ancestor? !
"Dijun, why don't you let Xiaoxian replace you."

"No need." Bo Yuan didn't wait for Si Ming to finish, "No matter what she wants to do, until I come back, let her do it. You just need to be careful and don't let others hurt her—that's fine. "

".Yes."

Si Ming looked at Zhu Xiaozhou desperately as if he had picked up a hot potato.
