"Brother Shen, please wait for me for a moment." Passing through an alley, Yu Meng suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Shen Luo.
"Brother Yu, please do as you wish." Shen Luo said.
Yu Meng walked quickly into the alley and his figure quickly disappeared into it.
Shen Luo stopped and looked around, recalling the various situations he had seen before, and secretly thinking about how to start the conversation when he arrived at Yu Meng's house and ask him some questions.
"Big brother, please, can you give me something to eat? I haven't eaten for two days." Shen Luo was in deep thought when a crisp voice came from the side.
Shen Luo turned around when he heard the voice and saw a little girl about seven or eight years old standing timidly not far away.
The little girl's linen shirt was dirty and full of patches. It was too loose, so her arms and calves were exposed. She held a broken bowl in her hands and looked at me with longing eyes.
"I don't have any food or money on me..." Shen Luo's heart softened when the little girl looked at him. He reached into his pocket and rummaged through it twice to show that he had nothing.
"Brother Shen, what's wrong?" Yu Meng's voice came, and he walked out quickly from the alley.
He had two more black long swords on his waist. The backs of the swords were much narrower than the sabers he used before, but the blades were longer. They were inserted diagonally on his back, and his arms were bulging with something.
When the little girl saw Yu Meng, especially the weapon in his hand, a look of panic appeared on her face and she quickly turned around and ran away.
"Alas, the world is bleak and the people are suffering... Let's go." Yu Meng sighed when he saw this scene.
Shen Luo looked at the thin figure fleeing in panic, and felt a little blocked in his heart, and he couldn't tell what he felt.
The two continued walking and soon left the block.
There were many more trees on the roadside ahead, the road began to become narrow, and residential courtyards began to appear on both sides of the road.
There are even fewer pedestrians here, and every household has its doors closed. The road has not been cleaned for a long time, and fallen leaves are everywhere, rolling in the wind.
Not long after, Shen Luo and Yu Meng arrived in front of a tall mansion. On the main gate was a plaque with the words "Yu Mansion" inscribed on it.
This house faces south and has a wide front door, wide enough for four or five people to walk side by side. The two doors are painted with a layer of gold lacquer. Although most of it has peeled off, it still exudes a magnificent atmosphere. There is also a pair of red-lacquered stone lions, two meters tall, placed at the door. Compared with the surrounding residents, it clearly stands out.
"Brother Yu, it turns out that you are a son of a wealthy family." Shen Luo smiled slightly when he saw this.
"It's all my father's fault. Now the world is full of evildoers and chaos. What's the point of all these superficial things?"
As Yu Meng was about to push the door open, he heard footsteps from the side. It was the three followers walking towards him quickly.
Yu Meng withdrew his hand and stepped forward.
"Young Master, Tian Chong has been sent home, and the consolation money has also been sent over." A black-faced attendant said with a fist clasped.
"Okay, you've worked hard, go back and rest first." Yu Meng's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness, and he nodded.
The three followers agreed and nodded slightly to Shen Luo as a greeting, then turned around and went home.
"Brother Shen, I'll 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.
