Step Down, Let Me Come!

Chapter 34: 034 Returning to the old business (Part 1)

Views:

Qi Shan knew Chen Tang to some extent. When he saw the flicker in her eyes, he knew that she was up to something bad. "That's all history. I might tell you if I have the chance in the future."

The implication was that he could tell, but Chen Tang couldn’t ask.

Chen Tang snorted and removed the fork that was holding up the window, and the vertically opened window closed with a snap.

One could vaguely hear Young Master Shen muttering, "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Who would be curious about your little business?" Qi Shan could only laugh and shake his head.

"Young Master Shen... still has the mind of a child."

Qi Shan sighed with emotion and started to open his bag.

Just when I was halfway through cleaning up, the figure of an old woman appeared on the door.

She raised her hand and knocked three times, and Qishan said, "Come in."

The old woman opened the door and brought in a bowl of eucalyptus for dinner and lamp oil for the evening. Qi Shan immediately stood up and walked over to her: "How can you do these things? Leave it to me."

The old woman smiled and moved aside: "Just sit down, my dear, I am very skillful, so how can I avoid it?"

She put the food down and made the bed.

When she was done, Qi Shan took out a few large pieces of silver from his purse and handed them to the old woman, saying, "These are for the two of us to use while we stay at your house. Please accept them, old lady."

"This is unacceptable—"

The old woman pushed the silver back without thinking.

If it weren't for the young man in front of them, the old couple's bodies would have been cold for four or five years. How could they live here in peace

More than that—

This young man's future is also ruined.

She said, "You must not accept this money."

Unexpectedly, Qi Shan was firm in his attitude. He pushed the money back and said, "Let's put things one way and the other way. If the old lady doesn't want to accept it, we two won't be able to continue living here with a clear conscience." As he said this, he was about to pack up the scattered luggage again.

After much persuasion, the old woman accepted the money.

She looked at the young man's figure printed on the wooden door and sighed deeply.

Being tired from traveling all day, Chen Tang fell into a deep sleep with his wooden pillow, and had no dreams that night, not knowing that the oil lamp in the next room had been burning all night.

On the second day, Ting Tong rose in the east.

Chen Tang opened his eyes on time at the call of his biological clock.

He took out a homemade bamboo tube, fetched clean water from the courtyard, sat down on the porch and began to take care of his personal hygiene. When Qi Shan came back, he saw Shen Xiaolangjun sitting in a heroic posture, bending over to brush his teeth and rinse his mouth.

He handed over a package.

"Here, breakfast. Eat it while it's still hot."

"Thank you." Chen Tang splashed cold water on her face, and the remaining sleepiness flew away in the arousal. She picked up a piece of steaming hot bread, and saw Qi Shan sitting down beside her. She asked, "Yuan Liang, do you know where the music school in Xiaocheng is?"

Qi Shan was about to speak: "...???"

I almost lost my breath.

He asked with a dark face: "How old are you, Mr. Shen, and you want to go to the music hall to have fun? That's not where you should go."

It is not advisable to lose one's ambition by playing with toys!

"What unhealthy things does Yuanliang have in mind? I just want to go to the Jiaofang to find someone and see how she is doing." Chen Tang said with a smile, "After all, if it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't have risked escaping so early. But it's also thanks to her that I was able to meet Yuanliang."

Qi Shan understood what Chen Tang meant after a moment's thought.

"You want to make trouble for someone?"

Most likely it was the bad luck caused by the exiled female students of the Gong family.

He warned Chen Tang to prevent him from getting into trouble. "As far as I know, there is still a fifth doctor of Gong family who is on the run. As long as he is not caught, the exiled Gong family prisoners will be watched by spies. If you approach rashly, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

Don't try to trouble others, only to end up getting caught instead.

"But it's not my style to keep a grudge to myself."

Chen Tang frowned, and they asked themselves, they are not the kind of people who will take revenge for every grievance, but they are not the kind of fools who will smile and not care when being pushed into the fire pit.

That's not being open-minded, that's being stupid!

Qi Shan gave a suggestion: "You can take a roundabout approach."

Chen Tang asked, “For example?”

Qishan: "Think about it yourself."

It was Chen Tang who was taking revenge, not him. Even for revenge, he needed others' advice. Even if he could take revenge, it would not be a satisfying one.

Shen Tang thought for a moment, then shook his head and muttered.

"No, no, this method won't work..."

"What's not possible?" Qi Shan's curiosity was aroused.

He wanted to know how this young master Shen would take revenge.

Shen Tang looked away awkwardly, refusing to speak.

It’s not that the method is not cruel enough, but that it is inappropriate.

Especially in this world where the rule of law does not exist, it is reasonable to give someone a taste of their own medicine and seek justice for yourself. It is unreasonable that the victim cannot fight back in the same way the perpetrator did to the victim. It is illegal, but it is a relief! Unfortunately, the enemy is a woman and Chen Tang herself is also a woman. It is a bit mean to retaliate in the same way.

What can we do

The natural thing is to pay someone to take care of that business.

But there is still a problem with this operation -

Shen Tang is a pauper.

The Jiaofang was also different from ordinary brothels and the average price was not low.

So, she killed this idea as soon as it came to her mind.

She sighed, "Forget it - let her live a few more days. When the fifth doctor of Gong's family is arrested, I will go to her house to ask for advice."

Qishan smiled and shook his head.

The Five Great Officers belong to the ninth rank of Wudan.

How could it be so easy to be caught

The morning passed in a flash, and Chen Tang had nothing to do. She had memorized all the scrolls of Qi Shan over and over again, and she couldn't understand anything when she looked at them again. Having nothing to do was very uncomfortable for her, who had some ADHD. In fact, not only she was uncomfortable, but Qi Shan was also uncomfortable.

“If Young Master Shen is bored, go to the street and relax.”

Stop wandering around in front of his eyes and sighing. He was so distracted that he couldn't read a single word the whole morning.

Chen Tang immediately became excited when he heard this.

Yes, the whole city of Xiaocheng was still unfamiliar to her. She could always find something fun to kill time. What was the point of being stuck in one place? She went into her room and took out her own little treasury - she had saved a small amount of money by selling green plums, cakes, and candies along the way.

Qi Shan only had time to remind her to be careful of the officers and not to get lost, but Mr. Shen had already disappeared like a gust of wind.

"Tsk, you still have the mentality of a child."

Qi Shan sat down again and pondered over the table again - on the table was a scroll full of notes and thoughts, and he could vaguely see the words "National Seal", "Way of the Princes", and the entire city defense layout near Xiaocheng.

At the same time, Shen Tang also ran onto the street with her motorcycle.

Outside the wall there are thousands of miles of wasteland, but inside the wall there is smoke and life, with vendors hawking their wares every few steps along the street.

Chen Tang was curious about everything he saw, and bought a lot of odds and ends one after another. Before he knew it, his purse was almost empty.

"We still have to find a way to make some money..."

Shen Tang wailed inwardly.

Being so poor, she brought shame to the time-traveling girl.

Shame on you_(:з」∠)_

But after walking around all the way, I found that there was really no good way to make a living.

Pancakes, green plums, and maltose are all available in Xiaocheng. The competition is fierce, and business is not easy to do. Chen Tang rode his motorcycle around for a while, and when he saw something out of the corner of his eye, he fell back.

"Zhengguang Bookstore? Collecting drawings?"

Hehe, she suddenly had a good idea to make a lot of money.
