Chapter 64 Guilt
"One of them is named Wang Wuba and the other is Ding Pu. They are vicious and often steal our things."

"I'm sorry, I didn't stand up to save you just now."

"I don't dare to come out. Once I come out, they will intensify their efforts to rob my things."

His family's things were often robbed, and his family was young and weak, so they were no match for Wang Wuba.

He was afraid, so when he saw Wang Wuba and the others, he hid subconsciously and did not dare to make a sound. Then he heard the screams of Wang Wuba and the others, and then he dared to peek out and look over.

He was relieved when he saw Wang Wuba and Wang Wuba being carried and beaten by a boy. The little girl was okay.

Then he also felt guilty. The little girl saved him in the first place, but when he saw that she was in danger, he didn't dare to save her.

Zhou Shitang was stunned for a moment, and then realized why the old man looked at her with guilty eyes. Did he feel guilty because he didn't save her?
Zhou Shitang smiled and shook his head, "Old man, you are right, and you don't need to apologize to me."

The old man is an honest man. Judging from what he said, his house was often robbed by the two men just now.

Therefore, the old man is no match for those two people. There is no point in standing up. He will just be used as cannon fodder to be robbed.

Besides, she and the old man only met each other once, and there was no need for the old man to offend others for her, a stranger.

She couldn't afford this favor either.

Zhou Shitang's eyes turned cold.

She must work harder to learn martial arts, and if she encounters these scum in the future, she will beat them until they kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.

When Su Huaili heard the conversation between Zhou Shitang and Lou Zhongwen, he knew that Lou Zhongwen was not the kind of person to set their sights on them, so he withdrew his cold eyes and his whole body became gentler.

As long as he doesn't fight, he looks like a simple and honest young man.

Lou Zhongwen finally breathed a sigh of relief as he was not being stared at by Su Huaili. He lowered his voice and reminded, "I heard that the two of them knew people from the government, which is why they are so rampant. You must be careful when you meet them in the future."

"They were beaten today. I'm worried that they will target you. No, with their temperament, I don't think they will tolerate this."

Zhou Shitang's eyes darkened, and then he smiled, "Thank you for the reminder, we will be careful in the future."

loud I drank some salt water and then I stopped feeling dizzy."

"I also cooked some medicinal soup according to the method you said. It is very useful for the body. This is what I dug out today. I will treat it as returning what you gave me before."

Zhou Shitang wanted to say that he didn't need to give it to her, but seeing the look in Lou Zhongwen's eyes, she decided to accept it.

At least accepting it would make him feel less guilty.

Lou Zhongwen saw the cart of yellow mud. He had built a house himself, so he knew what they wanted to do when he saw the pile of mud. "Are you planning to build a house?"

Zhou Shitang smiled and said, "Yes, the house at home is not enough to live in."

Lou Zhongwen did not hesitate, "I can also build houses, and I will go over and help you."

Zhou Shitang's mind was working rapidly.

There are a total of six people in her family, excluding the injured third brother, there are five more, plus Su Huaili and the eldest brother, there are seven, which is more than enough to build two rooms.

Zhou Shitang politely declined Lou Zhongwen's kindness, "Old man, thank you, but my family has enough manpower and we can build the house ourselves, so there is no need to trouble you."

Lou Zhongwen insisted, “If one more person helps, the construction will go faster.”

Zhou Shitang thought about it and decided to tell Lou Zhongwen the truth, lest he be afraid and embarrassed to tell it when he went to her house, "Actually, my family lives in that haunted house." Lou Zhongwen was startled, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, he was stunned Looking at Zhou Shitang blankly, he didn't know what to say.

They actually live in that house?

Hasn't that house been occupied for a long time?

Zhou Shitang smiled and said, "Old man, please go home quickly. I have several brothers at home, and we have enough manpower to build a house."

Lou Zhongwen wanted to help, but he didn't dare to go to that house.

He opened his mouth, but finally gave up the idea, and all his words came together into one sentence, "Anyway, you should be careful."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Zhou Shitang sighed, "That house is really scary."

"Ah Huai, tell me, if I tell the two men just now that I live in that haunted house, will they be afraid? Will they still dare to rob?"

Su Huaili thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know either. You can try it next time."

Zhou Shitang's eyes lit up, "If everyone is afraid of that house, then our family is equivalent to having an extra talisman, so bad guys don't dare to cause trouble."

Su Huaili thought it made sense, "It's possible."

Zhou Shitang raised his eyebrows, "Then some people helped us by accident, tsk tsk."

When Su Huaili heard this, some thoughts quickly flashed through his mind, "I heard that the government banned people from living in that house, but your family still lived in it, so someone wants to harm you?"

After all, Uncle Zhou was once a powerful person, and he must have offended many people, so it is normal for those people to do something.

Zhou Shitang nodded.

Su Huaili added: "That house can prevent some people from going to your house, but it may also make some people unwilling to exchange things with you."

"We are in short supply of supplies here, and many things have to be exchanged with others."

Zhou Shitang reflected on his recent life, "I have lived there for more than half a month, and I have hardly seen anyone passing by my house, so most people don't know where we live. If we don't take the initiative to tell them, they won't know."

"Of course, they may also be curious to inquire, but we still have you, so we can just exchange with you."

Zhou Shitang was straightforward and confident.

It looks like I'm going to rely on you.

Su Huaili couldn't help but laugh, "So, you don't need to worry. My family has lived here for three years and we still know some people, so it will be easier to exchange with them."

Zhou Shitang hummed: "I met an aunt when I was fetching water in the past two days. She knew where my family lived. She was also scared at first, but then I tricked her into agreeing to exchange medicinal herbs for her eggs."

"So, as long as you communicate well, you can still exchange something. Not everyone is so afraid."

Su Huaili: "So, your eloquence is the best."

Zhou Shitang began to inquire again, "You must have eaten lychees in the past three years, right? Where can I buy them?"

Su Huaili told everything he knew: "Lingnan is rich in lychees..."
