Big dreamer

"Brother Shen, please wait for me." Passing by an alley, Yu Meng suddenly stopped and turned back to say to Shen Luo.

"Brother Yu, please." Shen Luo said.

Yu Meng walked quickly into the alley and his figure quickly disappeared.

Shen Luo stopped to look at the surrounding environment, recalling the various situations he had seen before, and secretly thought about how to ask Yu Meng something when he arrived at his house.

"Big brother, please, can you give me something to eat? I haven't eaten for two days." Shen Luo was thinking, and a crisp voice came from the side.

Shen Luo turned his head and saw a little girl about seven or eight years old standing timidly not far away.

The linen shirt on the little girl was dirty and full of patches. Because it was too wide, her arms and calves were exposed. She held a broken bowl in her hands and looked over with eager eyes.

"I don't have any food or money..." Shen Luo's heart softened when the little girl looked at him. He put his hand into his pocket and rummaged it twice, indicating that he had nothing.

"Brother Shen, what's wrong?" Yu Meng's voice came, and he walked out of the alley quickly.

He had two more black long swords on his waist. The back of the sword was much narrower than the saber he used before, but the blade was longer. He inserted it diagonally on his waist, and his arms were bulging with something.

The little girl saw Yu Meng, especially the weapon in his hand, and her face showed panic. She turned around and ran away.

"Alas, the world is bleak, and the people are in hardship... Let's go." Yu Meng sighed when he saw this scene.

Shen Luo looked at the thin figure who fled in despair, and his heart felt a little blocked. He couldn't tell what it felt like.

The two continued to move forward and soon left the block.

There were many more trees on the roadside ahead, and the road began to become narrow. Residential courtyards began to appear on both sides of the road.

There were even fewer pedestrians here, and every household closed their doors. The road had not been cleaned for a long time, and fallen leaves were everywhere, rolling in the wind.

Soon, Shen Luo followed Yu Meng to a tall house, with the words "Yu Mansion" written on the plaque on the main door.

This house faces north and south, and the main door is wide enough for four or five people to walk side by side. The two doors are painted with a layer of gold paint. Although most of them have peeled off, they still exude a magnificent atmosphere. There is also a pair of red-painted stone lions two meters high placed at the door. Compared with the surrounding residents, it is obviously a crane standing out from the crowd.

"Brother Yu, it turns out that you are the son of a wealthy family." Shen Luo smiled slightly when he saw this.

"It's all my father's mess. Now the world is full of evildoers and the world is in chaos. What's the use of these external styles?"

Yu Meng said, and was about to push the door forward. A sound of footsteps came from the side, and it was the three followers who walked over quickly.

Yu Meng retracted his hand and greeted them.

"Master, Tian Chong has been sent home, and the consolation money has also been sent." A black-faced attendant clasped his fists and said.

"Okay, you have worked hard, go back and rest first." Yu Meng's eyes flashed with a trace of sadness, and he nodded.

The three attendants agreed, nodded slightly to Shen Luo, and then turned back to go home.

"Brother Shen, I will be away for a while and will be back soon." After the few people left, Yu Meng pondered for a moment and said to Shen Luo.

"Brother Yu, go and do whatever you want." Shen Luo knew that Yu Meng wanted to go to Tian Chong's house, so he would not stop him.

Yu Meng arched his hands, left quickly, and went in the direction where the attendants came from before.

Shen Luo watched Yu Meng's figure go away, sighed in his heart, and waited in front of the gate of Yu Mansion, while looking at the surrounding environment, but he was not bored.

A moment later, Yu Meng rushed back from the front, his eyes slightly red.

"Brother Shen has been waiting for a long time, let's go, follow me into the mansion." He said apologetically.

As he said that, he took a few steps forward and knocked on the door.

"Master, you are back."

The heavy door creaked open, and a fat boy of fifteen or sixteen years old came up with a smile, but when he saw Shen Luo behind him, a trace of surprise flashed in his flexible eyes, and he didn't ask any more questions.

"Is father back?" Yu Meng's expression had returned to calm, and he asked.

"The master has returned and is in the inner room." The fat boy moved his eyes back and answered.

"This is my new acquaintance, brother Shen Luo, Xiao Shunzi, you go and clean up that wing room first." Yu Meng instructed the fat boy, led Shen Luo through the door, and walked towards the inner courtyard.

This courtyard is a three-courtyard courtyard with a rigorous layout, flying eaves and ridges, high walls and large courtyards, which is quite spectacular.

However, what surprised Shen Luo was that there was not a single servant in the huge courtyard, which seemed quite deserted. Since entering the courtyard, he has only seen Xiao Shunzi.

Thinking that his own house in Chunhua County was not inferior to the mansion, but there were also many servants and maids.

After passing through two courtyards, the two came to a spacious main hall. The floor was paved with large strips of mugwort bluestone, which was as smooth as a mirror and as hard as iron. The tables and chairs were also dark red sandalwood. Some antique ornaments were placed on the walls on both sides, and the layout was quite luxurious.

However, in the deepest part of the hall, in front of a relief screen, there was a tall statue, but it was not the Three Pure Ones and Six Imperials, or the Five Elders of the Five Directions, but a middle-aged scholar holding a pen, with three long beards beating his chest, quite elegant.

In front of the statue was an incense table, filled with incense, candles, tributes and other things, and smoke was curling.

The statue, the incense table, and the luxurious layout in the hall were very inconsistent, looking out of place, even a little funny.

Shen Luo couldn't help showing a strange look when he saw the layout in the hall.

His family is also considered a wealthy businessman in the county. He knows that rich people pay the most attention to pomp and face. Every detail of the decoration in the main hall for entertaining guests must be carefully arranged. How could such a scene happen?

"I'm sorry to make you laugh. My father is a Taoist who does things casually. The layout of the house is a bit messy." Yu Meng saw Shen Luo's expression and explained with a smile. Obviously, Shen Luo was not the only one who felt strange about the layout here.

"How could it be? Uncle Yu's unconventional behavior is the style of a great man. Is he free now? I'll go and see him." Shen Luo smiled and became interested in the man who turned the main hall into a Taoist temple.

"In fact, you have just seen it." Yu Meng blinked and said mysteriously.

Shen Luo was startled and was about to ask in detail.

"Meng'er, where have you been fooling around again, you came back so late and made me wait for you for a long time! Have you bought the things I asked you to buy?" A slightly old voice sounded outside, and a short and fat figure walked in with the voice.

Shen Luo turned around and saw the person's appearance. He couldn't help but widen his eyes.

It was him?

The person was the short and fat old man in golden silk clothes among the immortal masters on the top of the city. He was also the one who saved Yu Meng.

The old man was holding a vermilion wine gourd in his hand. His face was red and his eyes were blurred. He was already drunk. He looked like an ordinary old man who was greedy for alcohol. Where was the aura of the immortal master who was high above him when he was on the top of the city?
