The night was dark and I couldn't see my five fingers.

The young gangster with his eyes rolling around was walking in front of him with a lantern. Suddenly he stopped and said with a respectful tone: "Young Master, you're here."

Ji Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is this Zhao Mingyue's residence?!"

There is a dilapidated house, not to mention the yard, even the house is not too big. Through the dim lights emitted by the lanterns, you can see that the pillars are so dilapidated that they have faded, deeply engraved with traces of time. The pillars are still a bit decayed, and you can use your hands to pick out wood chips from it...

The tiles on the house are not very neat, and there are several tiles that are about to fall off. Maybe one day the wind is a little stronger and can completely blow them down. There are still one or two tiles on the eaves that have been broken and have not been repaired. It is estimated that some rain will leak on rainy days.

Fortunately, although the walls and door panels of the house are dilapidated, many places can even be called broken, but they have been repaired so that they will not leak cold and air, and can always block the wind and rain. Moreover, those repairs not only look like there is no trace, but they are also a bit delicate.

To be honest, the house is dilapidated and a little bit shabby, and there are problems with this and that. But after all, it’s quite a bit reasonable. At least there is no problem with living. Such dilapidated houses can be seen everywhere in this area.

However, Zhao Mingyue lives in this house!

Zhao Mingyue lived in a wealthy mansion a few years ago, and the family business that Master Zhao earned!

I really don’t know how Senior Sister Mingyue got through these years! Thinking of this, Ji Zheng’s eyes were colder.

The young local snake had the eyesight, so Ji Zheng said so happily, he went up to knock on the door. Unfortunately, no one answered the door and saw no lights inside, so he went back and said, "Maybe he hasn't come back yet when he went out to work."

Ji Zheng said lightly: "Then wait!"

The young local snake's face froze, and responded with a dry smile. From time to time, he looked at Ji Zheng's back, and didn't know what he was thinking. His thief eyes were turning faster and faster...

Soon, the sound of gentle footsteps came from not far away in the darkness.

As the faint light approached, a thin woman came with a sleepy child on her back and holding a pineapple firewood in her hand. In the jumping light, she suddenly saw Ji Zheng and the others beside the house. She paused and walked straight forward without fear.

The thin woman climbed up the stairs and took out the keys and opened the door to enter the house. The whole process turned a blind eye to Ji Zheng and the others, as if no one existed here.

"Zhao Mingyue!"

The young local snake shouted, but Zhao Mingyue turned a blind eye to the house and closed the door without being moved.

Ji Zheng noticed that Zhao Mingyue was holding a carrot and a small jar of oil in her hand. He took out a silver ingot and threw it to the local snake: "Go and buy some food."

"Okay, young master, I'll go back."

Ji Zheng came to the door and knocked on the door. He was about to speak when Zhao Mingyue said in a calm tone: "Which family are you from?"

"Dafeng Casino? Chunfeng Pavilion? Or sent by the loan magistrate?"

"No matter which one you are, today is not the time to pay back the money. I don't have any money to pay it if you come."

After saying that, the room was silent again, and a trace of dark light shone out from the gap, shining on Ji Zheng's face. He was slightly stunned and immediately said, "Sister Zhao Mingyue, I am the student of your father Zhao Zhiyuan."

The room was quiet for a while, and then his tone was faint: "My father had passed away long ago, so it was impossible for you to have a student. So... you found the wrong person."

"Senior sister, you don't know. Your father was not dead back then, and the teacher accidentally wandered to Yueguo." Ji Zheng said seriously: "I am Mr. Zhiyuan's student. Before he died, he left me a letter and asked me to come to Xijiguo to find..."

The voice that came this time was not only cold, but also full of decisive rejection: "You have found the wrong person! My father's body, which I and my mother have seen with my own eyes, will never be mistaken! The person who made the mistake is you, please leave."

Ji Zheng was stunned, right? Master Zhao was obviously alive back then, so where did the corpse come from?

Besides, it is impossible for the master’s wife to not recognize her husband, and it is impossible for the senior sister Mingyue to recognize her father wrongly!

What's going on?

Ji Zheng hurriedly said, "No, Senior Sister Mingyue, I came from Yue Kingdom. If you don't believe me, I still have the letter left by the teacher, you will know at a glance."

Zhao Mingyue in the room didn't say anything and kept silent until a while later, the sound of cooking came from another room.

This is because I don’t even want to reply!

Ji Zheng felt that it was not good and hurriedly said, "Senior Sister, can you open the door? I will show you the teacher's letter and you will understand it."

Firewood was igniting in the stove.

The shovel is in the iron pot.

Boiled water gushes in the pot.

Wake up the child.

In the room, I didn't even say a word to Ji Zheng, but I heard the sound of coaxing the child, accompanied by the sound of cooking.

Ji Zheng talked for a while, wishing he could push the door and send it to Senior Sister Mingyue. However, Zhao Mingyue obviously didn't believe him at all, and ignored him at all, just pretending that there was no such person outside the house.

At this time, the young local snake rushed back panting, and was still eating with cooked beef braised meat.

Ji Zheng took the thing and threw out another silver ingot to the person: "It's nothing to do with you."

Zhao Mingyue was so resistant to strangers that she was unwilling to even talk to her for a few more words, which really surprised and helpless Ji Zheng. He thought intently, and suddenly remembered something in Master Zhao's relics, and found a copper key in the storage bag.

Haha, I found it, that's it.

"Senior Sister Mingyue, the teacher gave me a key as a token!" Ji Zheng said to the house.

After dozens of breaths, a hard and cold word suddenly came from the room: "What key?"

"The copper key has the word 'missing' on it."

The room fell silent. After a while, footsteps approached, opened the door with a creaking sound, and reached out without saying a word. Ji Zheng was stunned for a moment, and quickly handed over the copper key. After she turned over and looked around, she looked around and whispered: "Come in and talk." Although the voice was small, it felt warm for the first time.

After entering the house, Zhao Mingyue couldn't wait to look at Ji Zheng and said, "Is there any trust?"

Ji Zheng gave her the letter. When she took the oil lamp to look carefully, Ji Zheng was looking around. The child fell asleep on the bed in the inner room. The room was relatively simple, so simple that even the oil lamp seemed to be dimmer than other houses.

Under the dim light, Zhao Mingyue's hair was mixed with a little grayish whiteness, her face was haggard, her skin was dry, but she had small wrinkles at a young age. She was thinner, and she didn't know whether it was the heavy pressure of life or the drag of her husband, which made her cheeks so dry that she seemed to have no flesh.

A young woman who was only in her twenties looked similar to her thirties.
