Chapter 68: Settle Down (3)

The next morning, Chen Shouyi accompanied his parents to find a rented house.

Houses are not difficult to find. In the current situation of no electricity and lack of orders, most factories have been closed, and many migrant workers have rushed home, so there are not many houses to rent.

"Oh, sister, this really can't be cheaper. In the past, 1,500 people were rushing to rent, but now it's only 1,200, which is much cheaper." The landlord is a middle-aged woman in her forties dressed in a well-dressed middle-aged woman, elegant and gentle, looking like a cultural person.

However, bargaining has nothing to do with being gentle or not, this is the innate ability of every middle-aged woman.

"You also said that was the past. Who would have rented a house now? If we don't rent it, you will have to be here, and there is no more than a thousand." Of course, Chen's mother's bargaining ability was not weak at all.

"Oh, isn't this temporary? Is it possible to keep out of power? When the electricity comes, housing prices will rise immediately."

"The trading is all about market prices, but it doesn't matter whether it has the ability to appreciate. When the electricity comes, I don't know when?"

...

The two women started bargaining each other.

Chen Shouyi and his sister Chen Dawei stood beside him stupidly, unable to interrupt.

After more than ten minutes, Chen's mother finally got better and made a successful deal with one thousand yuan a month.

The house is a five-story self-built house, and the landlord lives on the fourth floor and the first floor is rented to another family.

The other second and third floors are still empty, and Chen Shouyi's family chose the third floor.

In order to rent out specifically, the landlord specially built an open-air staircase on the outside of the house, so he passed through the first floor without any hassle.

Because of the lack of luggage, it didn't take much time to move.

But the next purchase took a whole day, whether it was pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, various daily necessities, pillows and quilt covers, they all needed to be repurchased, and even clothes after autumn had to be repurchased.

During dinner.

Chen Shouyi looked at Chen's mother's frowning brows and couldn't help asking, "Mom, are you out of money?"

"This is all the work of an adult, so you don't have to worry about it." Chen's mother said subconsciously, but after she finished speaking, she immediately felt something was wrong.

Last night, she couldn't sleep for a night, not all because of fear. Most of the time, she kept thinking about her son's attitude of being innocent and looking at life and nothing after killing people.

Although my son has helped his family kill chickens and fish since he was a child.

But killing is different after all. Even if she and her husband look at it from a distance, they are so nervous and worried.

As a result, his son seemed to be fine afterwards. He not only cleaned up the scene with a calm expression, but also pulled out arrows from the body one by one.

She felt that it was definitely not the first time her son had killed someone, otherwise she would not have acted so calmly.

Since you can kill someone, robbery is even easier.

If you feel that your family has no money, will your son go rob?

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and hurriedly said, "The cash is enough in a short period of time, so I am worried that if there will be any trouble if I withdraw the deposit?"

Chen Shouyi said without any awareness. "Don't withdraw it for the time being to avoid leaking information. If I don't have money, I still have some on my hands."

"How many do you have?" Chen's mother asked hurriedly.

"It's nearly ten thousand!" He took out the 10,000 yuan last time, and he spent a total of several hundred yuan in the past few days.

Chen's mother was relieved when she heard this, and then Chen Shouyi continued: "I have a few more pieces of gold. If I sell it, I can sell it for 20,000 or 30,000 yuan."

He didn't dare to say much, just because he was afraid of scaring his parents.

In fact, the gold sand he had accumulated over two kilograms during this period. Even if the purity of these gold sands is only more than 80 years old, it can be sold for about 300,000 in the black market. If he added deposits, he would have a small one of 500,000 now.

"Where did you come from the gold?" Chen's mother immediately said with a serious expression: "By the way, I haven't asked you why you have a bow and a sword?"

Chen Xingyue couldn't help looking at his brother, just wanting to see what reason he could make up.

"Well, gold is actually natural gold. I picked it up by the stream. I sold it for some money and bought a bow and sword." Chen Shouyi was stunned and quickly said a brief explanation of the excuse he had already thought of.

"How much does it cost?" Chen's mother said skeptical.

Now she doesn't believe a word about this son.

In the past, this son was very obedient and listened to her most, telling him not to go west.

But I don’t know when it started, but I became no longer aware of it.

If it weren't for this incident, who would have thought that his son would have this side. It was probably because the two people who monitored his family last night were not knocked out by him, but were killed by him.

"It's more than 100,000 yuan, all of them are second-hand." In order to prove it, Chen Shouyi returned to his room, found a few slightly larger gold nuggets from his small pocket of his backpack, and put them on the table, making a clanging sound:

"I discovered a lot at the beginning, but now this is the only thing left."

"Then why do you buy swords and bows?"

Chen's mother glanced at a few golds and waited for another question, but was interrupted by Chen Dawei and said, "

"Don't ask, Shouyi, take the gold back, your parents are not old yet, and they are enough to support this family.

Now that you are growing up, you have your own secrets, so we won’t ask more questions. Moreover, your parents are both ordinary people and can’t control them. But you must abide by your own bottom line as a human being. You must never do illegal things.”

Chen Shouyi was moved and quickly pointed: "I understand, dad!"

...

In the bedroom at night, Chen Shouyi sat on a chair, holding his breath and staring at the candle.

The candle is swaying gently.

"There is actually a weak force, although it has almost become nothing." Chen Shouyi thought secretly in his heart.

Once he arrived at the earth, his talent ability to "control the atmosphere" on the attribute panel had disappeared. But he found that this ability had not completely disappeared, and he could still weakly interfere with the operation of the air.

It’s just that the ability is too weak, the attribute panel is not displayed.

After a while, he drew his sword.

He recalled the feeling of stimulating energy last time, and focused on it, leaning towards the flame little by little.

When the tip of the sword approached the flame, the flame suddenly shook violently, as if a breeze was spraying out from the tip of the sword.

He stopped and slowly stabbed out with the same speed again. Unlike the first time, he relaxed this time.

This time the flame didn't shake much from beginning to end.

"Is this the ability to control the atmosphere? Or is it another unknown force?" He was puzzled: "But the degree of deviation of the flame just now seems to be far beyond the power of his operation of the atmosphere."

At this time, he moved his heart and walked out of the bedroom and found a box of tofu from the kitchen.

Then tear the packaging, pour dry water, cut a small piece, and place it vertically on the desk.

Then he gathered his mind, pointed the tip of the sword at the tofu, and stabbed it out bit by bit again.

He keenly noticed that when the tip of the sword was less than three centimeters from the tofu, the surface of the tofu began to tremble slightly. When it approached one centimeter, thin tofu silk as thin as hair continued to fall from the surface.

Chen Shouyi immediately withdrew his sword and looked carefully at the tofu for a while, looking surprised.

The surface of the tofu seemed to be repeatedly split by some force, and a long narrow gap about three or four centimeters long and less than half a millimeter thick appeared.

When his sword cut the tofu upright, he found that it was one centimeter deep in the deepest part.
