Three Good Salary Kings Stand on the Ark

But since he came to Longmen, he has tried to be as close to the life of ordinary people as possible, eating and sleeping every day for a sense of ritual.

A sense of ritual that oneself is human.

Ash quietly left the bed and tiptoed open the door.It was quiet outside, not a single sound.Only a dim dim light could be seen from the corridor.

When he walked to the living room, Ash was lying on the balcony, his hands resting on his chin, and he stared at the night scene of Longmen city with a blurred gaze.

Longmen at night is no longer the bustling day, and it has become quiet under the shroud of the night.

Looking up at the starry sky, luck is good, the weather is very good today, and the heavy natural disaster clouds just dissipated, revealing the beautiful starry sky.

The stars are like brocade, the vast expanse.

The bright star seems to be within reach but far away in the sky. It quietly looks at the earth, its suffering, its new life.

Comparing the vastness of this world, it is inevitable that there will be a trace of loneliness, and Ashes suddenly wants to drink.

Ash returned to the kitchen and pulled out a bottle of wine from the cupboard.This is the gift he got after helping an old man. The old Zaraq looked old, but he was strong.However, it's still not very easy to let an old man carry heavy things up and down the stairs.

I don't know if the old man has children, and if so, why wouldn't he come to help his father.

Shaking his head, other people's homes have nothing to do with me, and I can't control it myself.Ash returned to the living room with the wine and sat in the seat where he sat the previous year.

There is a small night light here, which emits a dim yellow light in this quiet night, but also reveals a touch of warmth.But on the other hand, the gleam of light that lit up in this boundless darkness seemed lonely.

A drink, the degree of brightness is not low, but the ashes are similar to drinking water.Alcohol has little effect on ashes, but drinking doesn't make you intoxicated.

Ash couldn't help but think of the wine he had drank in the past.It was brewed by a friend of his named Jack, and only his wine could make Ashes drunk.

At that time, the two of them gathered around the fire and drank happily. Although they didn't know where they were going, they still had hope.It's a pity that Ashes never drank Jack's wine again.

After a short while, the wine had bottomed out, and Ashes silently cleaned up and returned to his room.Past experiences seem to resurface, past events, past people.

【Forget it, go to sleep】

Ashes turned over and wrapped the quilt a little tighter. The night was still long, and so was life.

It seemed that everything was quiet, and the night light in the living room flickered and went out quietly.

At the same time, in the dark part of the gantry, a beam of lights also went out quietly and could no longer be lit.In the darkness, you could vaguely see something squirming, and a faint roar.

In the dark night, some people sleep peacefully, and some people sleep forever.

When the light fades, the darkness will be ready again.

Ash got up early in the morning, although she just stared at the watch and saw that the time was up, she didn't have any nostalgia for life and death. (Wouldn't anyone really be able to wake up as soon as their alarm clock rings in winter?)

Washed clean, made breakfast by the way, and it was still early. Ashes decided to go to the old Zaraq to have a look first. I heard that the old man ran a candy shop, and Ashes helped at the time of decoration. .Counting the time, it is almost finished, and it is time to go to the show.

After carefully keeping warm for Nian's breakfast and leaving a note, Ashes went out.

And our Miss Nian is lingering with the quilt very unsatisfactorily at this time. As the saying goes, the body is made of iron, and the bed is made of magnets.Everyone will stay in bed subconsciously in the morning. Miss Nian is just a person with a temperament.

Although Miss Nian is both an unemployed vagabond and squatting at home, she is still living in Ashes' house as a rice bug. It just sounds like this person is so useless, but I have to explain that the annual meeting stays in bed. There is a reason.

Beside Miss Nian with a soft expression on the bed, there is a sword of considerable size, not a traditional sword. Her body shape can be said to be a bit deviant, with several blades floating in the air to form a sword body. Separated yet mutually restrained, broken and unstable, as if it would collapse in the next second.However, the faint sharpness and heaviness revealed by it make people no doubt about its weight as a weapon.

However, there is a rather unnatural crack in the center of this strange great sword. By observing the crack, it is not difficult to see that the sword was forcibly interrupted by some powerful force and then reconnected.Obviously, the injury before the year also came from this.

At that time, Nian was wandering aimlessly on the street. When passing by a small alley, she vaguely felt that something was calling her. Nian, who was interested, walked in alone to find out.Everyone knows what happened next. Nian was seriously injured by an unknown existence. If it weren't for Ashes, he would have explained it there on the spot.

Fortunately, Nian urgently took out his sword and shield to block it, otherwise Nian would have to become Nian sauce.The shield matched with the great sword was also beaten to pieces, and it was impossible to fight back.

Although for Nian, his own weapon can be pinched at will, but his proud work can only barely block a blow, which still makes Nian deeply affected.

Therefore, although he has been living a life like a rice bug during this time, Nian is actually quietly repairing his weapons and constantly strengthening and upgrading.

Not only to avenge that blow in the future, but also to protect some ashes.This kind of good man, who is a rare species on Terra, would be too boring if he died casually.

And this guy doesn't seem to be afraid of things at all. If anyone dares to pick it up, isn't he afraid of trouble?

But after all, she saved her own life. Miss Nian is not an ungrateful person. On the surface, she is a rice bug who has accomplished nothing, but secretly she is a bodyguard who protects Ashes. Isn't this setting quite interesting?

Ignoring the year when he wanted to be a rice bug with peace of mind, Ashes also came to the slum.

According to the address in memory, Ashes came to the candy shop opened by the old man Zalak. From a distance, he saw the old man sitting on the pony at the door basking in the sun, wearing a fur coat and holding a cup of tea in his hand. , looks like an old man squatting against the wall.

"Good morning, Mr. Lin."

Hearing Ash's greeting, the eyes of the old man Zarak who seemed to be dozing just now seemed to burst out.

"Isn't this ashes, come and come, come in and sit."

ps: As the title says, why do people get up and how to avoid the pain of getting up.Not sleeping seems to be the best solution, but unfortunately one must sleep.When can a person be able to sleep with half of their brains and half of their brains hilarious?

Chapter 5 Lin Yuxia

"It's annoying." Ashes was invited into the candy shop of the old man Zalak. At first glance, it was really dazzling, with all kinds of candies of various flavors.

"Hey, little friend Ashes, how is this candy shop opened by my old Lin?"

The old man Zalak asked with a smile, the old man's real life is called Lin Gerui, and Ashes called him Mr. Lin according to the etiquette.

"To be honest, it's really good. The store is very bright and the variety of candy is very rich. The children will definitely like it." Ashes said truthfully, after all, no child does not like candy, but the children in the slums rarely eat it. superior.One is that there is no money, but people who are in the slums will even be driven out in the urban area of ​​Longmen.The official name of the slum is Longmen Xiacheng, and as soon as you go up and down, your destiny seems to be decided.

"Hehe, old man, my dream when I was a child was to open a candy store, so that there would be an endless supply of candy." Lin Gerui held the account and recalled his childhood. "I was really a child at that time, but good luck made people, I didn't expect that my childhood dream would be realized when I was old."

Lin Gerui sighed, which also aroused Ashes' interest.

"I wonder what Mr. Lin did when he was young?"

Ash asked, Lin Gerui pretended to smile deeply, took a sip of tea, and said:

"Speaking of when I was young, that was also the number one man of the year. Who doesn't know me, Lin Gerui, in the whole Longmen? I was also a powerful leader back then."

Old people like to nostalgic, and they can't forget the past. Now that there is an audience in front of him, Lin Gerui is also excited, and he can't stop bragging about his glorious past.

"I was young and energetic at the time, and I joined the gang shortly after I first came to Longmen, and I became famous.

"At that time, the gangs in Longmen were intertwined, and they said dozens of times. You know, there is always friction between gangs. At that time, we had a festival with another gang. The high score determines the ownership of the chassis."

"But we accidentally found their way, alas..."

Lin Gerui said here, shook his head and sighed, just about to take another sip of tea, the tea cup was already bottomed out.Ashes filled Lin Gerui with eyesight, and then became his own audience.

Glancing at Ashes with satisfaction, and adding points to the small book in his heart, Lin Gerui continued:

"Although we were gangsters at the time, we also talked about the relationship between the rivers and lakes. We disdain to do bullying and the weak, and we acted in an upright manner. We can't do things like stealing chickens, but unfortunately, the other party doesn't think so."

"In other words, you were attacked?" Ashes asked.

"Yes, they said that his subordinates didn't understand the rules and beat him randomly. He didn't beat him randomly. He backstabbed him with poison and set fire to it, and he attacked with viciousness. Ah, it seems that he came prepared."

Speaking of his anger, Lin Gerui angrily tapped the floor with his stick.He lost a lot of brothers in that battle that year, but it also laid the foundation for his subsequent rise to the top and the formation of a team.

"They even joined forces with other gangsters who dislike us to launch a siege. These young people don't talk about martial arts, come! Cheat!, come! Sneak attack! Us old comrades, this is good, this is not good ."

"But in the end, we were slightly better. The old gang leader died in the battle. The brothers gave me Lin Gerui a thin noodle, and let me be the new gang leader, and then rectify the story of the Xiacheng District. That's a new beginning. "

After finishing speaking, Lin Gerui looked flushed. Anyone who has never had a glorious past, recalling the past now has a different taste.

"I can't believe that Mr. Lin used to be a kind person. I will use tea instead of wine.

After Ashes finished speaking, he poured himself a glass, raised his hand, and sighed.

"Hahaha, good! Little friend Ashes, I, Lao Lin, will take it seriously. I'll give you a toast too."

Lin Gerui was obviously very satisfied with Ashes, and he raised his head and drank the tea in one gulp.

The old and the young (?) finished respecting each other, and the distance was drawn a little further.Lin Gerui was also unequivocal, and asked the question that had been pressing in his heart.

"Cough, little friend Ashes, you are also a talented person. The citizens of Longmen see your contribution to Longmen in the past few years. But...why haven't you ever had a marriage?"

Ashes glanced at Lin Gerui with a strange expression, thinking that the old man likes to gossip when he is old.

"Uh, this? Mainly because I didn't have any thoughts in this regard, and I didn't go looking for it deliberately, so let's just go with the flow."

He answered vaguely with the omnipotent answer, but Lin Gerui obviously had other plans, and followed the conversation with a smile.

"Hey~, you are young now, full of energy. If you don't find a partner at this time, it will be difficult to find a company when you don't have passion in the future."

Before Ashes could refute, Lin Gerui continued.

"To tell the truth, Lao Lin has a daughter under my knees. I have always had a son. I have always loved her, but now it seems that I spoiled her. Recently, she has also entered a period of rebelliousness. I wonder if Little Ashes can help her. I'm busy, Lao Lin?"

There was a hint of pimping between the lines, and Ashes didn't know what to say for a while.The old man obviously wanted to introduce his daughter to him. He was afraid that he would not agree. He also deliberately said that his daughter was not in harmony with him, and wanted him to help him adjust the family relationship.

Being stuck, Ashes thought helplessly.Sure enough, someone who can be the boss of the gang can't be a simple thing.

"This... I'll take a look, I can only say as much as possible."

"Hey, if you have the words of little friend Ashes, there is no problem with the designation. I will arrange for the two of you to meet when I have time..."

Lin Gerui spoke with great interest, but before he finished speaking, a customer came to the candy store.

"It's a coincidence, isn't it, come, Yuxia, come here." After seeing who was coming, Lin Gerui smiled even more.

The visitor is a young girl, wearing a black and purple leather dress, showing a bit of dignity and mystery, while black silk and short high heels reveal a bit of charm.The round ears on the top of her head and the slender tail behind her are a good indication of the girl's identity.

Seeing this girl who is 1000% Lin Gerui's daughter, Ashes couldn't help but feel the wonder of life.After all, an atavist like Lin Gerui with ancestor blood can give birth to such a beautiful daughter. Do you know how hard genes work?

"Here I am, father. Who is this?"

"...Introduce myself, my name is Ash, I'm here to cheer on Mr. Lin today, and we've known each other before.

Ash's friendly self-introduction, although he was a little speechless about Lin Gerui's approach, he still had to do his best.

"Lin Yuxia."

The girl's introduction is rather brief, but...

Lin Yuxia looked at the ashes with great interest, and the ashes were a little fuzzy in her eyes.

"Uh... Excuse me, what's the matter, why are you looking at me like that?" Ash still couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing, but I can always hear someone talking about you. Today I finally saw the real person. I feel that there is a little gap between what that guy said."

"Excuse me, what does that guy mean?"

"Shi Huaiya."

With a click, the whole person turned gray.The ashes cracked open.

ps: The pace of these chapters will be slower, but the bigger ones will come later.

But to be honest, the little mouse really pokes my xp. When it can enter the pool, I will directly smash it.
