His back was very broad and solid. He had once used his shoulders to support her, yet he had never once said the word 'tired' to her.
"Lu Xingzhi, when I'm old and can't walk anymore, you'll have to carry me like this too," Jiang Yao couldn't help but say coquettishly.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xingzhi simply said, "No."
Then, Jiang Yao punched him. He chuckled softly and said, "Wifey, I'm a few years older than you. When you can't walk anymore, I'll most likely not be able to carry you either. When that time comes, you'll sit in the wheelchair and I'll push you. Wherever you want to go, I'll definitely not push you to the west."
Jiang Yao's lips curled into a smile as she sat on his back. That did not seem too bad.
There weren't many brick houses in the old district. Most of them were old and wooden houses with a strong cultural vibe. They were of the same height, but they looked a little shabby.
Lu Xingzhi stopped in front of a very old house with Jiang Yao on his back. The house was very similar to the style of Jiang Yao's parents' house. Yellow mud walls surrounded two rows of houses. If Lu Xingzhi hadn't brought her here, Jiang Yao would have found it hard to believe that there was such a place in Nanjiang City.
Lu Xingzhi held Jiang Yao's hand with one hand and knocked on the door with the other. The door wasn't locked. When he knocked, the door opened automatically. The two of them stood at the door and looked inside. In the courtyard, an old lady in her fifties was holding a broken basin and feeding the chickens in the courtyard.
When she heard the movement at the door, the old lady pouted unhappily and looked at the door. When she saw an unfamiliar face, her tone became even worse. "Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? "
The houses in the courtyard were rented to many people who came to Nanjiang City to work. It was almost one house per person. The monthly rent was only a few dollars. However, the old lady was the landlord, so she naturally recognized all the tenants here.
"Does Wu Zhong still live here?" Lu Xingzhi glanced at the chicken dung all over the courtyard. He had no intention of holding Jiang Yao's hand and walking in.
"Oh, Wu Zhong, you're still living there. You've been living there for several years." The old lady seemed to have a good impression of Wu Zhong, so when she heard that he was looking for Wu Zhong, her expression became much better. "Wu Zhong is not at home right now. He went to the market ahead to make money."
The tenants living here were very messy. Some of them moved out in three to five months. The old lady was old and had seen tenants coming and going for more than ten years. She had also seen too many people of all kinds. Naturally, she did not particularly like strangers.
"Speaking of which, Wu Zhong has been living with me for several years, and I have never seen anyone looking for him. Why are you two looking for him?" asked the old lady.
"I'm his friend. I'm here to see him." Lu Xingzhi asked, "Do you know where he is in the market ahead and what he is doing? If I go look for him now, can I find him? "
"There's a shoe shine stall in the market ahead. He's the only shoe shine stall in the entire market. You'll find him if you go in and ask." After the old lady finished speaking, she muttered that Wu Zhong did not expect to have such a capable friend. Then, she ignored Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao. She carried the broken basin and continued to feed the chickens and ducks.
Lu Xingzhi thanked her. Once again, he carried Jiang Yao on his back and walked back the way they came.
