Summer is over quickly, the weather is getting colder, and autumn is coming in a blink of an eye.
The four-person group’s lo-mei business is booming. The recipe provided by 666 tastes very good. After Pei Lu’s improvement, it is very suitable for the local people’s taste. Except for the first taste, more and more repeat customers later.
After two months, after excluding the cost, they made a net profit of eighteen taels of silver. In the eyes of the rich, this small amount of money is nothing, but for those who have never seen the world, it is already a huge sum of money.
The money he earns is managed by the bamboo pole. He is good at counting, and he can count the money clearly, unlike Fat Duner and the little bald head, who start to get dizzy after counting a hundred or so.
When it was estimated that the money was almost saved, Zhu Ganer carefully dug out the piggy bank buried in the ground in front of the other three people.
The money jar was not big, but it was filled with silver coins, and it jingled as soon as it was shaken. The four of them sat cross-legged in a circle, watching the bamboo pole pour the money out of the jar with glowing eyes.
"A total of eighteen taels." Zhu Gan'er counted one side again, and said after confirming that there was no shortage.
Fat Dun'er touched the silver coins all over the floor with glowing eyes, "We're going to send out."
The little bald head also blushed with excitement, "Then can we live in a big house?"
Zhu Ganer had inquired about it before, he thought about it, and told others what he had learned.
"I went to the middleman to inquire. The house with one entry and one exit costs ten taels of silver, but there are only three main rooms. Two rooms with two entrances and two exits are enough, but the cheapest one costs thirty taels. We have to pay more. It’s enough to save up.”
When the little bald head heard that he had to wait, he was a little dejected, and muttered: "It's good to go in and out, I'm small, so I can squeeze."
"Just buy one with one in and one out, it's just right," Pei Lu kept silent by the side, and said after hearing the words, "I never said... I might have to move out."
Qu Luocheng wanted him to move to Qu's house before, but he didn't agree because he was thinking about Pang Dun'er and the others. For them, the three brothers add up, and they think they can do a good job.
"You..." Chubby opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally closed it, he lowered his head a little sadly, "Then you have to take care of yourself, if one day you get tired of your friend, you will come back , Brother takes care of you."
Zhu Gan'er and the little bald head also became depressed, and the little bald head was the youngest. At this time, his eyes were red and he pulled the corner of Pei Lu's clothes, "We agreed to buy a big house when we have money, one room for each person..."
Pei Lu stroked his bald head, and said with a smile: "It's as if I can't come back. I live in the Qu family's mansion on the east side of the town, not far from the market."
"... There will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future."
The three of them relaxed a little after hearing this.
Fat Duner counted the silver dimes on the ground, pulled five liang of silver and pushed it to Pei Lu, a little shyly said: "Speaking of which, most of the money should belong to you, but we are going to buy a house soon, and we need to save some capital. I will give you five taels first, and I will remember the rest, and I will return it to you later."
Pei Lu hammered Fat Duner's fist speechlessly, and said dissatisfied: "Fatty Master is rich, and he and his brothers are so clear?"
Fat Dun'er's face flushed from holding back, and he was speechless, "This is not, this is not... so what!"
Pei Lu mixed up the silver dimes on the ground and waved his hand, "Let's not talk about this, you keep the silver, I don't need it now."
Pei Lu's attitude was too insistent, Fat Duner couldn't talk to him, so he had no choice but to accept the money.
It's just that when saving money later, Pei Lu's share will be kept separately by him, thinking that when there is more, he will give it to Goudaner... It's just that this kind of heart was not sent out in the end.
…
At the beginning of August, after buying a house and simply tidying up the things in the ruined temple, the few people went down the mountain happily and moved into the new house.
Pei Lu couldn't live there, the three main rooms happened to be one for each person, and the house also had a big yard, in which a peach tree was planted, only bare branches were left in this season.
The little bald man ran around the yard like a bird with a bag on his back, and his cheerful exclamations filled the yard.
After visiting the whole house, everyone's excitement finally calmed down. They put down their luggage, rolled up their sleeves and started cleaning. The four of them kept busy until it was almost dark before cleaning up the house.
The house was probably left unoccupied for a long time, and it was covered with dust everywhere. The four of them scrubbed and scrubbed for a whole day, and they were so tired that they collapsed on the ground and didn't want to move.
Chubby is the most panting, he is strong and tall, and he basically does the dirtiest and tiring work. At this moment, he is sprawled on the ground, moaning and yelling for hunger.
The little bald head was a little better, and volunteered to take the money to buy food.
When he came back, it was already dark when the four of them had dinner.
Candles were lit in the main room, and the bright candlelight illuminated them, so they didn't need to do things in the dark. The few people simply washed off the dirty mud on their bodies, and then sat around the table and devoured their meals.
Pei Lu was also very tired, he had a full stomach and took a shower, he really didn't have the strength to go to Qu's house for the night, so he squeezed into a room with the little bald head and slept all night.
…
Pei Lu woke up from the cold in the middle of the night, and wisps of cold air seeped into his bones, making him shiver. He opened his eyes in a half-dream and half-awake state, trying to find a quilt to cover him, when he suddenly saw a red figure standing straight beside the bed.
He jerked up suddenly, and was woken up immediately after dozing off.
The person beside the bed is Qu Luocheng.
He didn't know how long he had stood by the bed. At this moment, his handsome face was frozen, and white frost like a spider web spread from his feet, spreading bit by bit on the ground. Pei Lu was frozen by the cold air he emitted. wake up.
Moving his legs away from his body, Pei Lu sat up and whispered to him, "Why are you here?"
Qu Luocheng stared at him without saying a word, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and his dark eyes were filled with emotion.
It had been a long time since Pei Lu had seen him like this, and he felt a little nervous, so he couldn't help poking his arm, and asked in a soft voice, "What's wrong with you?"
Qu Luocheng moved his arm and said after a long time: "Follow me back."
His voice was hoarse, as if he was trying to suppress something, Pei Lu was a little frightened by him, the long-lost sense of fear resurfaced, he quickly put on his coat, and obediently followed him back to Qu's house.
…
Go back to Qu's house.
Qu Luocheng grabbed his wrist and forcibly led him into the room.
There was a muffled bang from the door of the room, and Pei Lu's heart trembled. At this moment, he also realized that something was wrong with Qu Luocheng. Normally, Qu Luocheng would not be so rude to him.
Pei Lu grabbed his wrist, "Let go of me, I'm afraid of you like this."
Qu Luocheng pressed him on the bed, his heavy eyes seemed to tear him apart, "Don't move."
Pei Lu paused, but in the end he obediently didn't struggle anymore. He got along with Qu Luocheng for a while, except that Qu Luocheng frightened him a few times with pranks at the beginning, and then he was always responsive and conniving to him, so that He had forgotten that this was the original face of Quluo City.
Qu Luocheng gently rubbed his nose against his neck, and the cold breath hit his skin. The cold Pei Lu had goose bumps all over his body. He raised his neck obediently, exposing his weakness, and his voice trembled a little. said, "You... lighten up."
Qu Luocheng paused, and licked his white and tender neck, clenched his hands on the bed, then loosened them, clenched them again, as if he was enduring some great temptation.
Pei Lu closed his eyes as if looking at death, his thick black eyelashes trembled slightly, and his pink lips were biting tightly. Qu Luocheng hadn't sucked his blood for a long time, so now that it happened again suddenly, he felt a little wronged in his heart.
After a long time, the expected pain did not come, Pei Lu carefully opened his eyes a little, and secretly looked at Qu Luocheng.
Qu Luocheng's face was covered with sweat, and his eyes were full of struggles. He endured and endured, and then suppressed the clamoring desire and desire in his heart, and gently kissed Pei Lu's forehead.
"Do not be afraid."
The soft, soft, dry lips and petals were separated at the touch, and Pei Lu's heart beat violently. He opened his mouth to say something, but before he could say anything, Qu Luocheng got up and left in a hurry.
Pei Lu covered his forehead and head with his palms in a daze, and after reflecting for a while before waking up, he jumped up and chased him out, "Qu Luocheng? You come back!"
