Ten minutes later, the figures of Tan Xiu and his mother appeared in front of a low shantytown.
Due to financial constraints, Tan Xiu and his mother did not have their own house in Star City. They rented a house in the cheapest shantytown in the Old River Street District as a temporary residence.
Gently placing his mother on the low wooden bed, Tan Xiu began to busy himself in the house.
In the thousands of years in the Immortal World, Tan Xiu had long been accustomed to stretching out his hand and opening his mouth to eat. Sometimes, it was not a problem even if he did not eat or drink for hundreds of years. Suddenly having Tan Xiu take care of the house, he was obviously not used to it.
After a moment of effort, Tan Xiu's movements slowly changed from rusty to skillful, and a smile gradually emerged on his face.
The house was not big, only about 40 square meters, and was divided into four rooms. The living room and dining room were connected together, with a dilapidated sofa as the dividing line, and then there was the kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom.
Looking at the clean pillows and old quilts on the sofa, Tan Xiu felt a burst of sadness.
Because the house was too small, there was only one bedroom. Su Lingyun left the bedroom for Tan Xiu, and she had been sleeping on the sofa. Even when Tan Xiu was staying at school, Su Lingyun still insisted on sleeping on the sofa and refused to step into the bedroom.
In Su Lingyun's words, Tan Xiu had grown up and must have his own independent space.
It was Su Lingyun's meticulous care and pampering that made Tan Xiu unable to cut off his attachment to his mother for thousands of years in the Immortal World.
Half an hour later, the house from top to bottom became neat and tidy. It was spotless inside and out, and the whole house looked brand new.
Seeing that it was already late, and remembering that his mother had not eaten yet, Tan Xiu tiptoed into the kitchen.
While Tan Xiu was cleaning up the house at home, a human tragedy was unfolding in the Linjia Restaurant.
An hour ago, after Yuan Chuling handed in his paper, he happily walked to Tan Xiu's examination room, wanting to share his joy with Tan Xiu. He didn't expect that Tan Xiu had already left the school one step ahead of him.
Yuan Chuling, who was familiar with the traces of cultivation, did not hesitate to rush to the Linjia Restaurant. Then, Yuan Chuling saw a scene that made him extremely angry. The restaurant, which Su Lingyun and Tan Xiu regarded as their own life, was smashed beyond recognition.
For a moment, Yuan Chuling was filled with regret and hatred. He blamed himself for being too selfish. He clearly had the ability to help Tan Xiu improve his life, but he did not do so.
Just as Yuan Chuling was about to call the police, he heard faint voices coming from the kitchen. Yuan Chuling went over without hesitation.
In the kitchen, Zeta Persei and Green-hair did not notice Yuan Chuling's arrival at all. They were still gritting their teeth and cursing Su Lingyun and Tan Xiu. At the same time, they were plotting how to take revenge on Su Lingyun and Tan Xiu.
Zeta Persei and Green-hair were first beaten half to death by Tan Xiu today. Then, they were betrayed by Banshou and his group. At this time, their minds were already twisted and they were completely blinded by hatred. So, other than revenge, there was only revenge in their hearts.
Just as the two of them were engrossed in discussing how to humiliate Su Lingyun, Yuan Chuling stepped into the kitchen with a dark face.
Under the dazed gazes of Zeta Persei and Green-hair, Yuan Chuling swung a wooden stool in his hand and fiercely smashed it down on them.
If it was before Zeta Persei and Green-hair were injured, with their rich battle experience and fighting skills, Yuan Chuling would definitely not be their match. Unfortunately, Zeta Persei's hands were already fractured by Tan Xiu, and Green-hair also had a few broken ribs. The two of them were practically crippled at this time. Even an ordinary person could take care of them, let alone the tall and strong Yuan Chuling.
Yuan Chuling smashed them for more than ten minutes until his hands became sore and soft. At this time, Zeta Persei and Green-hair had already fainted. They were covered in blood, and there was not a single part of their bodies that was intact.
"I … I killed someone?" After venting the anger in his heart, Yuan Chuling finally sobered up. Seeing the shocking scene on the ground, his complexion became deathly pale, and then he turned around and ran.
Almost as soon as Yuan Chuling left the restaurant, Banshou, Dingzi, and the others came back.
When Banshou inadvertently saw a line of footprints full of blood extending from the kitchen to the restaurant's entrance, his complexion couldn't help but greatly change, and then he quickly rushed into the kitchen.
Behind Banshou, Dingzi and the others also faintly guessed what had happened, and they hurriedly followed.
Seeing Zeta Persei and Green-hair lying motionless in a pool of blood, Banshou and the others' pupils shrank, and their complexion also became deathly pale.
"Quick, they still have one breath left, quickly call an ambulance!" After carefully examining Zeta Persei and Green-hair's injuries, Banshou subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then he sternly ordered.
Hearing that Zeta Persei and Green-hair were still alive, the others also felt relaxed, and then they quickly busied themselves.
However, seeing Zeta Persei and Green-hair's miserable state, they couldn't help but feel distressed.
These people knew that if they hadn't chosen to follow Banshou and Dingzi at the critical moment, and had continued to follow Zeta Persei and Green-hair, then they would have ended up the same as Zeta Persei and Green-hair.
"Banshou, who beat up Zeta Persei and Green-hair like this? This is the rhythm of taking their lives." Looking at Zeta Persei and Green-hair on the ground, whose complexion had become deathly pale due to excessive blood loss, Dingzi said with lingering fear.
Dingzi knew that if his group hadn't come in time, Zeta Persei and Green-hair would absolutely not have escaped death.
Hearing Dingzi's words, Tan Xiu's figure subconsciously flashed in Banshou's mind, and then he shuddered all over, but he didn't dare to say his own guess.
Although Dingzi didn't say anything, Banshou and the others were well aware of it.
Outside the restaurant, after Yuan Chuling ran for a long distance, he couldn't help but turn back. However, when he saw the shadows of people moving about in the restaurant, he didn't dare to enter. Instead, he hid outside to check on the situation. It wasn't until he heard that no one was dead that his heart was finally at ease.
River Street Old Area, Shanty Town.
After nearly an hour of busywork, Tan Xiu finally tossed about a table full of dishes, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.
In order to make this table full of dishes, Tan Xiu even went to the vegetable market twice.
When he went to the vegetable market for the first time, Tan Xiu only bought some common vegetables. However, when Tan Xiu checked his mother's body, he found that she was in a state of serious overdraft, and there were many hidden diseases in her body, so he couldn't help going to the vegetable market to buy some astragalus and red ginseng.
After carefully tasting the dishes on the table and confirming that there were no mistakes, Tan Xiu went into the bedroom and woke his mother up.
When Su Lingyun opened her eyes and saw where she was, she couldn't help but be at a loss, "Xiu, weren't we in the restaurant? Why did you come home and fall asleep?"
"Mom, you've been too tired these days. Plus, you were so angry that you fainted." Tan Xiu explained with a smile.
"Mom, the matter at the restaurant has been solved. Under my repeated pleas, Zeta Persei and others have promised not to harass the restaurant anymore, and they will help renovate the restaurant." Before his mother could ask, Tan Xiu told her what his mother was worried about.
Su Lingyun's face was full of disbelief when she heard the words, and then she hurriedly picked up Tan Xiu's clothes and checked Tan Xiu's body. After confirming that Tan Xiu was not injured, she muttered incredulously, "Zeta Persei and those people are gangsters who eat people without spitting out the bones. How could they let our restaurant go so easily?"
"Mom, as the saying goes, everything has its vanquisher. They originally ignored me, but after I showed the business cards of Police Officer Cheng Xuemei and Police Officer Hu Wenxu, they suddenly became like a mouse seeing a cat. They were afraid that I would complain to Police Officer Cheng Xuemei. In addition to promising to help restore the restaurant, they also took out their money and jewelry and gave them to me …"
In order to completely reassure his mother, Tan Xiu had to rack his brains to make up a story.
What made Tan Xiu ecstatic was that he found that his ability to weave stories was not ordinary. He even fooled himself, not to mention his mother who trusted him very much.
"Xiu, you are still smart. Mom will find time to visit Police Officer Cheng and Police Officer Hu. We, who run a restaurant, still have to be closer to the authorities so that those gangsters will be afraid. Mom is far inferior to you on this point." Su Lingyun touched Tan Xiu's head lovingly and sighed softly.
"Mom, let's talk about other things later. Let's eat first, or the food will get cold." Tan Xiu saw that his mother wanted to continue sighing, so he pushed her out of the bedroom.
"Okay, I'll go make food right now … Eh, why is there so much food? Did you order takeout?" Su Lingyun didn't hear Tan Xiu clearly because she was in a daze. She subconsciously wanted to go into the kitchen to make food, but when she saw the table full of food, she couldn't help but exclaim.
"Mom, I worked hard for an hour to make all these food. They are all your favorites. Do you like them?" Tang Xiu pushed his mother to her seat and filled her bowl with food. Only then did he speak out with a nervous expression.
Tan Xiu made a total of four dishes and a pot of medicinal cuisine. The four dishes were taro chicken, steamed fish, stir-fried rape, daylily soup, and medicinal porridge to replenish one's energy.
Smelling the tempting aroma on the table, Su Lingyun's appetite was aroused. She couldn't wait to gobble down the food.
"Mom, eat slowly. Don't choke. If the food on the table isn't enough, I'll make more for you." Tang Xiu's heart was filled with a great sense of achievement when he saw his mother gulping down the food. This sense of achievement was more intense than when he had a breakthrough in his cultivation.
"Xiu, don't just watch Mom eat. Eat some too." After eating for a while, Su Lingyun realized that her son was staring at her in a daze. She blushed and hurriedly called out to him.
"Okay, let's eat together." This was the first time Tan Xiu saw his mother lose her composure. He smiled and then picked up his chopsticks to eat slowly.
While the mother and son were happily enjoying their warm dinner, a loud "bang" suddenly came from outside. The whole house shook violently. Then, three men in suits and leather shoes stormed into the house.
Glancing at Su Lingyun and Tan Xiu who were eating happily, the man with the buzz cut grinned. He lifted his thigh and kicked the low wooden table.
With a series of clanking sounds, the already shaky wooden table directly announced its end and fell into a ball. The dishes on the table were also scattered all over the ground.
"You have money to eat, but you don't have money to pay back. You f * cking played me like a monkey!" After kicking the table, the man with the buzz cut roared and swung his palm toward Su Lingyun's face.
