When he arrived at the entrance of the town, Ning Chen got out of the car alone.

Shen Jianjun and Song Que were waiting outside.

Dadukou Town is named because it is backed by a large river, but in fact, this small town located in Jiangnan County is very backward, and the entrance is simply a fence as a gateway.

Ning Chen took a cursory look, there were no more than 100 households in the whole town, not so much a town as a village.

But it's okay to find a little beggar, convenient.

At the entrance, there is an old man about seventy or eighty years old, smoking dry tobacco with an intoxicated expression, similar to this kind of old man, they all like to smoke dry tobacco, one comes in large amounts, and then stimulating, one sip down, enough choking, spicy enough.

The old man also discovered Ning Chen, an outsider, squinted his eyes and looked at him, and said with a smile, "Outsiders? ”

"Hmm." Ning Chen nodded, then leaned over and said politely, "I'm here to find a friend, he seems to be called Ruan Xiaoer, I don't know the old man, do you have any impression?" ”

"Ruan Xiaoer?" The old man estimated that he smoked too hard with a mouthful of dry tobacco, coughed twice, and choked his lips, "I haven't heard of it, did you remember the wrong name?" ”

Ning Chen felt a little lost in his heart, could he really remember it wrong?

However, when he thought of the words of the little beggar when he parted, he immediately changed his words and said, "Uncle, my friend said that people in his hometown like to call him stunned, think about it......"

"Dumbfounded?" The old man's eyes really lit up, and he said with a smile, "Oh, that silly and stupid melon baby still has such a handsome friend as you?" Odd and unusual. ”

"Well, go five hundred steps forward, and the most dilapidated room is their house." Old Beth, after a pause, looked at the clock in the room, and muttered, "But at this point in time, the second stunned man should still be in the blacksmith shop, you have to wait." ”

"Thank you, uncle."

Ning Chen didn't care about the old man's unintentional sarcasm about the little beggar, thanked him, and walked straight over.

"It seems that the second stunned man went out a few years ago and met a rich man? Odd and unusual. The old man stared at Ning Chen's back as he gradually moved away, knocked on the cigarette gun, and looked incredulous, but he didn't think much about it, lowered his head, and went to tinker with his cigarette gun again.

Through the guidance of the old man, Ning Chen successfully found the most dilapidated old mansion five hundred steps away.

No one seems to have it.

Ning Chen didn't mean to enter the door without permission, so he waited outside.

The other residents around had already discovered that Ning Chen, a young man who was not too flamboyant in his dress, but whose appearance and temperament were far beyond ordinary people, pointed a few words, and even some people went home to bring their daughters and comment together.

Ning Chen was embarrassed, why is this atmosphere so uncomfortable.

He came to find his good buddy, and if he was accidentally caught by a certain family and forced to marry his daughter to him, it would be troublesome.

"This little brother, who are you looking for?"

Finally, a fat girl with a very abstract appearance and a very fluffy body, pretending to smile at the corner of her mouth elegantly, took the initiative to approach Ning Chen and asked softly.

Ning Chen pointed to the dilapidated house in front of him.

"Don't you tell me, looking for two stunned people?" The fat woman suddenly covered her small mouth, a little incredulous.

Ning Chen nodded and corrected, "But I still like the name Ruan Xiaoer." ”

"Cut, an honest guy who is as stunned as a fool, why don't all the names be the same? Both horizontally and vertically are stupid. ”

The fat girl glanced at the delicate tail ring in her hand with disdain.

Then he seemed to be afraid that Ning Chen would not believe it, and recalled, "I still remember that one year, there was a stinky person in the village who asked for food, and he couldn't open the pot himself, and he left food for others to eat, but he was hungry for two or three days, do you think this is stupid?" ”

"It's called kindness." Ning Chen thinks.

"A fool is a fool, a kind fart, by the way, little brother, what's your name?" This fat girl seemed to like Ning Chen very much, and she raised her steps and was about to come over.

Ning Chen took a few steps back, don't look over, don't bother to pay attention, the so-called words are not speculative for more than half a sentence, just ignore it.

The other party also seemed to feel embarrassed, looked at it twice, and prepared to leave, but before leaving, he still didn't forget to drop a sentence, "I think, people like you are completely despised by making friends with the second stunned person, so let's go." ”

"What is there to make friends with such people?"

Ning Chen sighed, a long time ago, the little beggar complained to himself, saying that the people in his hometown looked down on him, saying that he was stupid and stupid, but he obviously had no fault, why did the whole village look down on him?

Now that I think about it, the little beggar is not stupid, but the people of this village are calculating, selfish, and very repulsive to the little beggar's occasional alms, and over time they look down on such a good-natured neighbor.

"Little beggar, Brother Chen will help you out...... Ning Chen muttered to himself, "I want this town and even the entire Jiangnan County to know that you are my brother of Ning Hetu, and you are the benefactor who saved the young marshal of the Ning family back then!" ”

That time when the fish by the river was full, the ice was frozen, Ning Chen stumbled and fell into the ice cave, it was this stupid guy who jumped down without saying a word, and it took a lot of effort to fish himself up.

Later, Zhuge Changqing told him that this stupid boy, in order to save himself, did not hesitate to cut his flesh and feed blood.

Such kindness, he Ning Hetu, never dare to forget!

About three to five minutes later, a swarthy, thin young man, dressed in rags and with his hands in his pockets, walked down the muddy country road with his head down.

Ning Chen spotted him at a glance.

After many years, it's still so thin and dark.

"Second stunned, your family has a guest, do you have rice in the pot today? Giggles. Along the way, I don't know who muttered ill-intentionedly, seemingly kindly reminded, but actually took the opportunity to mock.

The thin young man whose real name is Ruan Xiaoer suddenly raised his head, puzzled at first, and then stood in place fixedly.

"Dust, dust...... Brother Chen? ”

Ruan Xiaoer was a little unsure, because Brother Chen'er was dressed in tatters like himself back then, and even eating was precarious, why did he become so temperamental now?

"It's really you, Brother Chen!"

After Ruan Xiaoer finally settled down, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he stood in front of Ning Chen with a twist, and he didn't speak, just lowered his head like this, and the distance between the two was less than one meter.

Ning Chen smiled, "Raise your head." ”

"Brother Chen, I, I ......" Ruan Xiaoer stammered, so excited that he wanted to give Ning Chen a big hug, just raised his arms, looked at the dust and shabby clothes, and shrunk back.

He thought it was not good, it would stain Brother Chen's clothes.

"Silly boy, I'm really stunned." Ning Chen stretched out his hand and rewarded Ruan Xiaoer with a chestnut, stretched his arms, and gave the other party a big hug, and at the same time said in a tone that could not hide his excitement, "Little beggar, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
