"Big brother, what kind of person is that cousin?"
Su Wei sat on the edge of the ox cart, leaned against Su Tang, looked at the tall city like a dream, and asked in a low voice.
Su Tang's expression froze. He thought for a while, turned his head and replied, "I saw him a few times when I was a child, but I don't have any impression of him. I just feel that he is an extremely silent little man."
His little sister was young and didn't know at all, but every time he recalled the day of the confiscation, he still trembled all over, but his heart was dead.
He was sent to the frontier as a felon, and he had suffered all kinds of hardships in the past few years. He was already numb. If it weren't for his obsession to take care of his little sister, he might have gone with his parents.
Suffering in the hard days with no hope in the future was the most torturous.
Suddenly, one day, he was taken away by a smiling foreman and announced that he was relieved of the road repair work.
Road repair was not a good job. Most people would die of exhaustion in a few years, but at least they could maintain a living.
The first sentence he heard was not the joy of escaping, but fear.
Fortunately, the other party then introduced him to a noble. The other party's words made Su Tang overjoyed. Their old Su family finally had a talent who could escape from the felon's birthplace.
The other party not only had a meteoric rise, but also did not forget to help the clan and asked for help.
Su Tang did not say anything and brought his little sister to seek shelter.
It was because there was no other way to live except here.
They had very little money. They could leave with a broken straw mat.
Thanks to the son of the Feng family, he hired an ox cart and took good care of them along the way.
After arriving at this Fufeng City, he was a little timid.
The passers-by's bright clothes and wanton laughter gave him a familiar yet strange feeling.
His little sister was used to living carefully. She whispered to remind him to drive the cart to the side and not to be an eyesore to the noble.
Su Tang touched his little sister's head, and his heart ached. He took out the remaining Black Emperor money and got off the cart to buy a few skewers of candied haws.
Looking at his little sister eating happily, he suddenly wanted to cry.
"Brother, eat."
His little sister stuffed the sour, bitter, and sweet candied haws into her mouth. Su Tang's eyes suddenly became a little moist.
The two of them were eating candied haws. Under the guidance of the Feng family, they came to the front of a courtyard in Sweetwater Well Alley.
The gate of the courtyard was wide open, and there were people coming and going inside. It was very lively.
Suddenly, the sound of weeping could be heard. Soon after, the sound of weeping could be heard.
Su Tang walked in and smelled the strong smell of medicinal soup. A few familiar faces passed by, but they seemed to have aged a lot. She couldn't remember their names.
"This is?"
Huang Xie leaned over and asked.
"I'm Su Tang. This is my sister, Su Wei." Su Tang quickly replied.
"So it's Young Master Tang."
Huang Xie hurriedly bowed and invited the two of them to the living room. "I'll go invite Sir."
He turned around and left. He gave the Feng Family's son a red packet and went to the backyard. "Sir, Young Master Tang is here."
Chung Shen-soo was practicing martial arts in the backyard.
Over the past few days, the members of the Su family that he had entrusted people to look for had arrived one after another. The chaos made him feel very uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, he could barely maintain it because of his responsibilities. He usually lazed around in the backyard.
After all, most of Su Daozhi's real relatives had died.
The closest ones were actually Su Tang and Su Wei, the two cousins.
"I'll have to see them."
He nodded, walked to the front hall, and called out, "Cousin."
"Cousin Daozhi. I … "
Su Tang's eyes turned red, and she cried again. "My parents, sob …"
"My condolences …"
Chung Shen-soo sighed and didn't say anything. He looked at a little girl next to him. "Cousin Su Wei, from now on, treat this as your home … I've already asked the servants to prepare. Wash up and have a good rest. We'll have dinner together tonight."
…
Although Chung Shen-soo wasn't Su Daozhi, he had taken his body after all. He still had to bear some responsibility.
He first comforted the two siblings, and then immediately called Huang Xie. The man and the dog began to have a headache.
"Damn it, I don't have enough money."
It was not easy to live in Fufeng. After all, it was the capital of a region. Not to mention the high prices.
Originally, Chung Shen-soo had a hundred White Emperor coins allocated by Feng Xi 'er, plus his own salary. If he only cared about himself, he would naturally be comfortable. He could take care of a beautiful maid and walk his dog every day.
Unfortunately, as the most beautiful child in the clan, he had a responsibility in this regard.
Previously, he had entrusted Feng Xi 'er to save the clan, but after some investigation, he found that more than half of the Su family that had been sent to the Fufeng Protectorate had withered. The rest were old, weak, sick, and disabled.
During this period of time, he had saved dozens of people. He had found a doctor to treat them, and all of them had overexerted themselves and needed to rest.
The daily expenses, plus the cost of the rescue, had run out of money.
So far, not only had Chung Shen-soo used up the hundred White Emperor coins, but even his own savings were almost used up.
"Woof, my lord, I still have a private savings."
Huang Xie seemed to have seen Chung Shen-soo's dilemma, so he leaned forward and said.
"That's the money you've saved for your wife and coffin. I'm not that desperate …"
Chung Shen-soo couldn't help but laugh. "Besides … it's not a problem for dozens of people to stay here. I'm going to buy some land outside the city, build a farm, and raise them in the future. Now, mature land is expensive, especially near Fufeng City. One mu of land costs ten White Emperor coins, and buying all the land will increase the price … With your money, it's not enough."
Huang Xie stuck out his tongue and didn't say anything.
Chung Shen-soo smiled and said, "But I already have some ideas. Tomorrow, you and your nephew choose a few honest people from the Su family to go out with me."
Naturally, he had his eyes on the Felix family's treasure.
That Legendary Count seemed to have a premonition back then, so he made some arrangements for the future and buried a few treasures.
Although some of them might have already been opened, Chung Shen-soo still wanted to try his luck. This was also the only legal opportunity to get rich.
After waving Huang Xie out, Chung Shen-soo closed the door.
He came in front of the bronze mirror, and the flesh on his face squirmed. Suddenly, he changed into a different person.
His eyebrows were like swords, his eyes were like lacquer, and his face was like jade. There was a unique temperament between the combination of his facial features, like the Jingshan Kun Jade, the creation of Shen-soo, and the gathering of all the spiritual vigor in the world.
This was the face of his previous life, Childe Shen-soo.
Using the flesh magic of the headless Count, he reappeared.
"I really miss it …"
Facing the bronze mirror, Chung Shen-soo touched his cheeks and then looked at his hands.
His hands were as white as jade, and there seemed to be no warmth at all. "The [Herder]'s ability isn't without its drawbacks … Although the headless Count seems to be dead, it still brings some slight changes to me every time I use it, right?"
