Peach Blossom Shop

Chapter 54 Brother and Sister
Lin Manlu looked at Zhang Zeyu in surprise, and then turned to look at Xu Qingsheng. When he saw his expression, he immediately understood - it seemed that Yuyu had hit the mark.

"Did he force you, did he make any promises with you? Afterwards, he backtracked and betrayed you, so that you were almost killed by that brother Long tonight?" Zhang Zeyu continued to ask.

Xu Qingsheng's originally surprised expression gradually became ferocious, he clenched his fists tightly, and the wound on his hand, which had just been covered with ointment, began to ooze blood again.

"It seems so," Zhang Zeyu smiled faintly, "It's a good way to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and kill people with a knife."

Lin Manlu couldn't believe it, "Yuyu, what you said...couldn't be that Wang Shihua?"

Zhang Zeyu sneered, "I've seen that this person is very powerful and ambitious, but I didn't expect him to be so vicious. Lulu, he deliberately approached you, there must be some ulterior motive, we must guard against him."

Lin Manlu walked to the Eight Immortals table and sat down, propped his face with one hand, nodded for a long time.

Xu Qingsheng looked around and asked Lin Manlu, "That dog policeman also wants to harm you?"

Lin Manlu glanced at him and shook his head, "I don't know, I always feel that he is too enthusiastic towards me. By the way, what agreement did you make with Wang Shihua?"

Xu Qingsheng was about to answer when he heard a small voice from outside the door, "Brother!"

Xu Qingsheng trembled all over, turned his head hastily, and saw a little girl holding the door open by the dark wooden door of the peach blossom shop, leaning out half of her body in fear, looking at him with tears in her eyes.

"Lingling!" Regardless of the pain in his body, Xu Qingsheng rushed over and hugged the little girl, "Are you alright?"

The little girl named Lingling shook her head, then looked up at Meng Chuan, who was tall and tall beside her, and whispered, "There are bad guys who want to catch Lingling, and this uncle saved Lingling."

Xu Qingsheng was startled, and looked up at the man standing in the shadow.Zhang Zeyu came over and nodded towards Meng Chuan, "Thank you for your hard work, go back!"

Meng Chuan saluted, "Yes, this subordinate will leave." After speaking, he took a step back, disappeared into the shadows, and disappeared.

Lingling opened her eyes wide, watched Meng Chuan disappear in horror, put her arms around Xu Qingsheng's neck, and said, "Brother, brother, there are ghosts again, ghosts!"

Xu Qingsheng hugged Lingling, coughed twice, patted her on the back, and said, "Lingling is not afraid, not afraid, that ghost can't eat people, cough cough!"

"Don't block the door, come in!" Lin Manlu said while sitting at the table.

Sitting next to Lin Manlu, Hua Hua asked, "Idiot Man, aren't they also mortals? They are both children, so it's okay to come into your shop like this?"

Lin Manlu put his face on his face and nodded, "Well, it shouldn't matter. Human beings who can see spirits usually have the basic ability to resist pollution."

Hua Hua nodded, then pointed at herself, "What about me? I can't see ghosts when I leave your peach blossom shop. Is it because I don't have the ability to resist some kind of filth?"

Lin Manlu turned to look at Hua Hua, "Hua Hua, you don't want such yin and yang eyes, do you? Seeing ugly monsters is disgusting, and it doesn't fit your status as a noble and beautiful woman!"

"Go!" Hua Hua gave Lin Manlu a push, "Spoof! I'll just ask."

"Hey." Lin Manlu smiled, then turned to look at the timid little girl behind Xu Qingsheng, "Are you Lingling?"

Lingling hid behind Xu Qingsheng, poked out half of her head, looked up, looked at Xu Qingsheng, and saw that Xu Qingsheng seemed to be at ease with the brothers and sisters in front of her, so she nodded, "Mmm..."

Lin Manlu waved at her and said, "Would you like to hug me?"

Lingling quickly hid a little behind Xu Qingsheng, grabbed Xu Qingsheng's clothes, and secretly looked at Lin Manlu.Lin Manlu smiled, and saw Xiaohua walking behind Lingling at some point.

"Hello! Your name is Lingling?" Xiao Hua stood behind Lingling with a smile and said.

"Yeah! Brother!" Lingling was taken aback, and as soon as she hugged Xu Qingsheng, she burst into tears.Xiaohua was stunned, blinked, and suddenly her eyes turned red, "whoosh" got behind the dark wooden door, and said brokenly, "I'm hated, Xiaohua is hated, woohoo, why...was hated... "

Xu Qingsheng hugged Lingling, confused by Xiaohua's movements, but Lingling stopped crying, rubbed her eyes, turned her head, and looked at Xiaohua who was hiding in the corner of the door.

Lin Manlu dragged his chin and smiled.

Zhang Zeyu shook his head and asked Xu Qingsheng, "Xiaosheng, what agreement did Wang Shihua make with you?" After speaking, Lin Manlu turned to look at him in surprise, and raised an eyebrow at her—I like this kid quite a lot.

Lin Manlu was puzzled, he had never seen Yuyu call a stranger by his name, and he called him so affectionately...

Xu Qingsheng looked at Lingling in his arms, and said, "The dog police officer said, as long as I help him catch Brother Long, he will help me arrange Lingling's household registration so that Lingling can go to school."

Lin Manlu frowned and asked, "Lingling doesn't have a registered permanent residence?"

Xu Qingsheng pursed his lips, touched the braid on Lingling's head tied with a cheap rubber band, and nodded.

"What about you? Do you have a registered permanent residence?" Lin Manlu continued to ask.

Xu Qingsheng shook his head, "Three years ago, I escaped from the traffickers with Lingling, and none of us had that kind of thing."

Lin Manlu nodded, turned around, and saw that Hua Hua's face was a little pale, and he understood that Hua Hua had lived two lives, and both lives were a pampered young lady, so naturally she had never encountered such a thing.He smiled at her, patted her hand, and said, "This is the way of the world. Some people live well, while others struggle in the mud."

Hua Hua glared at Lin Manlu, shook off her hand, looked at Xu Qingsheng, and asked, "What about you? Have you ever studied? You don't have household registration, how do you live?"

Xu Qingsheng looked at Hua Hua, looked away again, seemed a little embarrassed, bowed his head and said, "I have studied a little, but not much. I was working under Brother Long before, and sometimes I could earn a few small money, enough to buy some money. something to eat."

Hua Hua's face became even more ugly. She looked at Lingling who was timidly lying in Xu Qingsheng's arms, and then at Xu Qingsheng who was covered in injuries, but did not speak again.

Zhang Zeyu came over and said, "Then how do you plan to live in the future? Brother Long was betrayed by you. I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in this city?"

Xu Qingsheng nodded, "Well, I'm going to take Lingling to another place after I recover from my injury."

Zhang Zeyu squeezed his chin, squinted his eyes and smiled. When Lin Manlu saw him, he knew what he was planning.Sure enough, Zhang Zeyu immediately opened his mouth with a smile, "If you start over elsewhere... how do you solve the problem of Lingling going to school? You just let such a little girl wander outside with you for a long time?"

Xu Qingsheng's face froze, and he sat on the ground holding Lingling without making a sound.

"How about it," Zhang Zeyu smiled, "Lvlu's small shop is short of a clerk who runs errands, would you like to do it?"

Xu Qingsheng looked up at Zhang Zeyu with a face full of shock, and at the same time, Lin Manlu looked at Zhang Zeyu inexplicably—when did my peach blossom shop lack errands?
