Guan Ang heaved a sigh of relief and said,"We're here. Open your eyes."”He casually pressed the light switch.
When Zhu Dong opened his eyes, he saw a medium-sized courtyard.
There were only two low houses in the courtyard. Due to the lack of maintenance, many cracks had appeared in many places. The bigger cracks were simply repaired with wooden boards. There was also a simple shed made of various materials that was used as a bathroom.
Zhu Dong walked around the courtyard a few times and said in surprise,"Oh my, this is a different world. Are you a reclusive pirate?”
"Don't call me kid, I'm called Guan Ang.”Guan Ang corrected Zhu Dong's words. After standing still, she faced Chen Er and stared into his eyes."The martial world is dangerous. We have to have some ability to defend ourselves in it, right?”
Chen Er smiled calmly and said sincerely,""That's right, you haven't seen my abilities. When they unleashed their might, the earth and mountains would shake!”
Zhu Dong was exceptionally happy to see Chen Er praising him so much in front of outsiders. He couldn't hold back the pride in his heart and pretended to smile modestly."Hehe, small tricks, small tricks.”
Guan Ang didn't care about Zhu Dong's words. He continued to look into Chen Er's eyes and said with a smile,"Don't stay outside. Go in." As he spoke, he pushed open the door to the left, turned on the light, and stood by the door to make a gesture of invitation.
Zhu Dong walked in with his fat hands behind his back.
When Chen Er passed by Guan Ang, he saw Guan Ang turn her head to the side and whispered into Chen Er's ear,""When you meet a straight path, you meet a horn that pierces your heart."
Chen Er was slightly stunned when he heard this. He asked Guan Ang in confusion,"What guy?"
"Nothing, nothing. Hurry up and go in." Guan Ang saw that Chen Er didn't seem to understand her words, so she quickly laughed it off.
Zhu Dong walked in and looked around for a while before shouting," Xiao Er, come in and take a look. Do you feel like you've returned home? I didn't expect such a shabby place to exist in a big city. If I had known earlier, I would have slept on the streets."”
Chen Er followed her in and sat on the bed. He also said," That's right. Brother Fatty, look at this bed and this wall. Wow, there's not even a stool. It's worse than us…"
"Shut up!" Guan Ang couldn't stand their taunts and complained loudly,"I took you in with good intentions, but you don't appreciate it. If you're unwilling, get out.”Then, he added," I'm warning you. The weather forecast said that it will rain dog poop from today to tomorrow. If you're not afraid of death, get out."”
Zhu Dong quickly walked forward and patted Guan Ang's shoulder."Hehe, we're just joking with you. We're all children of the martial arts world.”
Guan Ang snorted and turned around to leave. Zhu Dong had sharp ears and heard the door next door open with a creak. After a while, Guan Ang came in with a stool and placed it heavily on the ground. He said unhappily,"Have a seat."
Zhu Dong Huang pointed at the stool and said,""Go sit." Chen Er shook his head helplessly and gave the bed to Zhu Dong. Zhu Dong lay down on the bed and narrowed his eyes. He felt so comfortable that he felt like he was about to die.
Guan Ang walked to the corner and sat down. She took out half a pack of cigarettes from somewhere and handed it to Zhu Dong and Chen Er. She asked,"Smoke?"
Their eyes lit up as they hurriedly nodded and said,"Smoke, hehe."
The three of them lit a cigarette each and took a few deep puffs. "I still don't know how to address the two of you?" Guan Ang began.”
Zhu Dong was too lazy to say anything, but he was afraid that Chen Er would be too honest and say everything, so he rushed to say,"Oh, you see, we've known each other for so long, but we didn't introduce ourselves. I'm really sorry, hehe.”Zhu Dong laughed dryly and continued,"I'm Zhu Dong, he's Chen Er." After saying that, he shut his mouth.
Guan Ang waited for a long time but didn't hear anything else. She thought that this self-introduction was too simple. "Where are you guys from?”
"We're a small place, you wouldn't know even if I told you." Zhu Dong said.”
Guan Ang continued to ask,"You two don't look old. Aren't you afraid that your family will be worried if you run out like this?"”
"I'm 18, and he's 17.”
"Hehe, I'm sixteen, younger than both of you. From now on, I'll call Zhu Dong big brother and Chen Er second brother!”Guan Ang might be younger than the two of them, but he was very experienced in Jianghu. Seeing that Zhu Dong was actually so wary, he was afraid that he would touch on their taboos if he continued asking. He chuckled twice and did not continue asking. Zhu Dong and Chen Er couldn't reject Guan Ang's enthusiasm, so they chuckled and agreed.
The three of them were silent for a while, and there was a moment of silence in the room. Guan Ang coughed twice, got up, pulled out a few newspapers from under the bed, and spread them on the ground. She said,"It's getting late. The two of you can squeeze on the bed tonight. I'll sleep on the floor. Tomorrow, I'll find a few planks and build two beds. The conditions are simple and crude."
Chen Er looked at Guan Ang's broken bed. It was too small for a Zhu Dong to lie on, so there was no place for him to sleep. He said to Guan Ang,"We'll sleep on the bed together. How can you sleep on the floor alone? I'll sleep on the floor with you.”
Guan Ang looked at the bed and smiled knowingly."Alright, it's not cold anyway." After saying that, she took out a few newspapers and spread them beside her, beckoning Chen Er to lie down.
After Chen Er lay down, Guan Ang handed him a wooden stick that was about the thickness of a calf.
Chen Er took the wooden stick and looked at Guan Ang in confusion. Guan Ang smiled and pointed at the back of her head. She smiled as if she had suddenly realized something and used the wooden stick as a pillow under her head.
After a short period of contact, they were all of similar age. Chen Er gradually forgot that Guan Ang had stolen the book. Guan Ang had generously helped them when they were at their weakest, so Chen Er had a good impression of him.
After the three of them lay down, Chen Er asked Guan Ang curiously,"Are you the only one living in such a big courtyard?”
"I have a sister who is two years older than me.”Guan Ang hesitated for a moment before continuing softly,"My parents passed away when we were very young. For so many years, we have been relying on each other. If it wasn't for my sister, I would have died long ago.”
Chen Er thought to himself, I didn't expect that the siblings 'experience was similar to mine and Brother Fatty's. He felt a sense of resonance in his heart and continued to ask,"What about your sister? Why don't I see her?"
"She went to work. She got off work late, so she should be back by now.”Guan Ang bit her lips and said.
"The road outside your house is so difficult to walk on. Isn't she afraid? Besides, it was so dark. What if he met a bad person?”
Guan Ang chuckled and said in a relaxed manner,"On this road, the darker it is, the safer it is for us.”Chen Er was puzzled.
