Chapter 138

Luo Wendi wanted to find a hobby for Xue Shun so that he wouldn't bother her anymore.

Xue Shun also noticed it.

But playing chess... obviously not, he doesn't really like things that require his brain.

Fishing...is not an option either. Whether throwing the rod into the river or into the bucket, it's the same as being foolish to him.

He would rather stay in the cabin and do his homework with Shen Jiao. According to Shen Jiao, "As long as we write enough and fast, we will have plenty of time to play."

Xue Shun agreed with this, but what really touched him was the last sentence:

"Besides, if we can write it ourselves, we don't have to pay someone to write it for us."

Save as much as you can.

Xue Shun and Shen Jiao simply stayed at home. As for the chess pieces, they had asked Qiongzhi to take them away. She was really bored and had already started playing Gobang with the system.

It's kind of annoying that I never win.

Life on the boat was so boring that she missed Liao'eyuan.

It’s a pity that Liangua and Yuge’er refused to come, otherwise I could have talked to them.

Qiongzhi was depressed for more than ten days.

It wasn't until Shen Jiao and Xue Shun got tired of writing and decided to get off the boat and go for a stroll that the story became interesting again.

They were out for fun, so the boat was not in a hurry to leave. It docked every three to five days. Sometimes Luo Wendi would take her male favorite down for a walk, or just stay there.

Ask the servants to buy some new things.

She never called Xue Shun, but asked Aunt Zhang to pass on the message, telling him that if he wanted to go out and play, he could go, and the boat would be waiting for him.

He also gave him some silver.

If they get any fresh food, they will send a portion over.

For Xue Shun, this is more comfortable.

Although they are called mother and son, they are not familiar with each other.

If you force yourself to be together, both of you will feel uncomfortable. It’s better for you to play your own games and everyone will be happy.

When Luo Wendi heard that Xue Shun had finally gotten off the boat, he thought it was quite novel. He immediately came up with a bad idea: "What do you think? If I give the order to sail now, will it scare the child to death?"

The male favorites looked at each other in bewilderment.

They didn't know whether Xue Shun would be scared to death.

But if she were to give the order to sail, they would have to gamble their money.

Aunt Zhang frowned in disapproval: "Madam, that's a good son, not a bastard."

"It's fun only when my son is playing with it."

Everyone in the village has a mother, so it's not easy to play tricks on her, otherwise the mother will be unhappy if the child doesn't take it seriously.

Nanny Zhang had been with her for many years and could see through her thoughts at a glance. She advised, "Seventeenth Young Master might take it seriously."

"That's right," Luo Wendi said listlessly, "that child seems to be narrow-minded."

Aunt Zhang: ...Why are you scolding me when I don’t want you to tease me?

"Then Madam, please give the order, or we'll be gone if we wait any longer." A man who was looking for trouble asked.

Luo Wendi glanced at him and said, "Forget it. They are already so old. It would be ugly if they got angry. And those Xue ones are crybabies."

Luo Wendi couldn't just hold such a big son in his arms and coax him.

But it’s a pity to think about it.

Her own son is so boring to tease, he doesn't look like a member of the Xue family at all.

When Luo Wendi thought of these things, he lost interest in playing, so he simply sent all these people away and went ashore with only Nanny Zhang.

On the other side, Xue Shun, Shen Jiao and Qiongzhi realized after getting off the boat that they had forgotten to take their money, and the three of them only had a dozen copper coins.

Just have a bowl of shredded pork noodles and it's gone.

The sadness reminded the three of them of the time they went out to play a long time ago.

Shen Jiao comforted him, "Don't be sad, be happy. At least we don't have to eat for free this time."

Qiongzhi objected, "We have nowhere to rub it even if we want to."

Xue Shun, who was in charge of the money but forgot to take it, said: "How about... go back and get it."

"Who's going?" Shen Jiao looked at Qiongzhi.

Xue Shun looked at Qiongzhi.

Qiongzhi looked at the noodle stall: "It's not bad to have a bowl of noodles. At least I don't have to eat for free."

Three lazy guys, don't expect any of you to rely on each other. Just don't spend any money if you don't have it.

They are also good at comforting themselves: "Next time, I will definitely remember it next time."

Xue Shun promised, "I'll treat you next time."

"Then we must remember it." Shen Jiao said immediately.

Qiongzhi nodded and said in a rather unimpressive way, "Next time I'll add an egg and some meat."

Xue Shun: "That'll cost ten cents!"

Qiongzhi:?

Shen Jiao:!

Two pairs of incredulous eyes looked at him at the same time.

Xue Shun: "Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean? I was just joking! Am I that stingy?"

It’s really hard to respond to this.

He was very stingy with his rewards, and Shen Jiao rarely took any.

Nothing is given during the holidays.

Shen Jiao had reason to suspect that he deliberately didn't bring any money.

Qiongzhi did remember that one time they cooked too much and there were two lamb chops left, and they couldn't finish them. Xue Shun was afraid that the heat would make them sick, so he ate them all, and his stomach hurt all night.

The lamb chops were taken from the main kitchen, and you didn't have to pay for them yourself.

Xue Shun looked at their silence, wondering what they were talking about. He said sadly:

"Okay, just treat me like this and don't remember my kindness at all."

He sat there sullenly, not even picking up his chopsticks.

Shen Jiao and Qiongzhi looked at each other and gave some advice without any sincerity.

"Sir, you're overthinking it. I naturally believe you."

"Eat quickly, sir, or the noodles will become clumpy."

Xue Shun: "I'm already full of anger, what else can I eat?"

Qiongzhi: "Then we eat it for you?"

Shen Jiao reached out silently.

Xue Shun:!

He is really angry now.

Xue Shun grabbed Shen Jiao's sneaky hand.

There was a clicking sound in my ear.

He was so frightened that his eyes widened, staring blankly at the hand he was holding and asked, "Is that its sound?"

He admitted that he did try a little harder.

Shen Jiao: "I'm not that fragile."

Before they could finish their conversation, they heard the sounds of "crackling" and "booming".

Qiongzhi looked at a place behind Xue Shun, stood up suddenly, and shouted in shock: "The building collapsed, run!"

She shouted like this, but she didn't move.

There is no need to move.

Shen Jiao and Xue Shun turned their heads and saw that a high-rise building under renovation had collapsed with a loud bang. The racks on both sides that were used to store wood, bricks and tiles to facilitate the workers to climb also fell down.

The cracking sound I just heard was the sound of the shelf breaking.

The pedestrians on the street were caught off guard by the sudden disaster.

Many people were instantly crushed under bricks, tiles, and stones.

They were neither too far nor too close to the scene of the incident, close enough to see the tragic scene clearly, but far enough away not to be hurt.

"this……"

Xue Shun wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

This street is very lively with people coming and going.

They came out at night and there was no one working there, so there were vendors selling food around the shelves, and where there were vendors there were naturally customers.

In the blink of an eye, they were all suppressed.

"It's gone! It's gone! It's all gone!" someone shouted in a panic.

He ignored the half-crumbling brick wall and rushed into the ruins, desperately struggling...
