When Zhang Xiaoman heard what Grandpa Six said, the expression on his face was startled. Then he seemed to think of something and asked quickly: "Sixty thousand!? No! Master Six, why do they give you so much money? Is it someone else?" Is that true too? And how did they know your phone number?”
"Sixty thousand? Hehe, the six I just compared was not sixty thousand, but a six-digit number!" Pei Laoliu laughed and said, "A full hundred thousand for carriage and horse transportation, others don't have this treatment! Unexpectedly, I was just about to sign up, but they actually called me first.”
"As for how you contacted me, isn't that easy? Master Liu, I have been in this business for most of my life. If you go out and ask around for my Taoist friends, you will know my number. Is it over?"
Zhang Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, then figured it out again. After he succeeded in pretending to be in the Su family last time, although the title "Master Pei" is still unknown to the outside world, I am afraid that it has become famous in their line of work.
Looking at Grandpa Six who still had no idea, Zhang Xiaoman was a little confused whether to tell him the truth or not.
"Um, Mr. Liu, do you think there might be a certain peerless master who recently used your name to go out and do heroic things? As a result, the organizer misidentified the wrong person, so they gave you a high limit. Appearance fee, all this is actually just a misunderstanding... Do you think this is possible?"
When Pei Laoliu heard this, he immediately looked at him with a caring look: "What nonsense are you talking about? Is there a second Master Pei besides me in Qionghua City? You are still chivalrous. You have been doing this recently." Have you changed to reading martial arts novels again?”
Zhang Xiaoman smiled unnaturally, silently recited "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu" in his heart, and then skipped the topic.
After a full lunch, Zhang Xiaoman packed up his things and went out again. Just like the previous time, he planned to take the express train directly to the grove in the north of the city to see if there were any space nodes there.
Different from the way he came, Zhang Xiaoman took a shortcut to the outside of the old city this time, and happened to pass by the place where he had been selling sushi.
But when he walked here, he saw a familiar figure.
It was a girl in light yellow casual clothes. She was eighteen or nineteen years old, youthful and beautiful, and she did not wear makeup. Zhang Xiaoman remembered that this girl seemed to be the dog-walking girl he passed by last time. He reminded her that the dog had a stomachache, and he didn't know what happened next.
At this time, the girl was standing alone on the roadside holding a small flower umbrella, holding a long stick in her hand, and the big golden retriever was missing from her side.
Zhang Xiaoman walked over with some doubts. As soon as he got closer, he heard the vegetable seller suddenly shouting: "Here he comes! He comes! That young man is here!"
Zhang Xiaoman also saw his aunt waving to him, so he couldn't help but come closer.
"Oh, Xiao Zhang, you're finally here. This girl has been waiting for you here for several days. She insists on paying you back the money she owes you in person, and refuses to leave no matter what. She's so sunny..."
Zhang Xiaoman was a little surprised when he heard what she said. This girl couldn't be so stubborn that she had been waiting here for four days, right?
"I'm fine. I haven't had much to do lately anyway. It's quite fun to join in the fun here."
The girl said, turning her head in the direction of Zhang Xiaoman, looking straight at him with her big eyes.
"Thank you, boss, for the sushi you made for me last time. It was really delicious. By the way, there is also the matter of Bunny. Thanks to you, the doctor said it had parvovirus. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and it is currently hospitalized with diarrhea. Thank you so much!”
After she finished speaking, she bowed, but the direction seemed to be a bit off.
Seeing the girl's appearance, Zhang Xiaoman quickly waved and said no, and finally understood something in his heart.
"You...can't see?" he asked carefully.
The girl nodded and said, "Well, I lost my sight a year ago, and Tutu is my guide dog."
Zhang Xiaoman was really shocked this time. He didn't expect that this girl was actually a blind girl. No wonder he always felt that something was wrong when he saw it before. This was the reason!
Thinking that this girl would come here every day to bask in the sun just for the ten dollars she gave him, Zhang Xiaoman somehow felt like he was a scumbag.
"I'll give you the money back. Thank you for the sushi! It's so delicious!"
The girl said as she stretched out her hand and handed over a few crumpled bills, still stained with sweat.
Zhang Xiaoman wanted to not accept it, but the girl was very determined and had no choice but to accept it in the end.
The little girl said thank you several times to him, and then she left step by step with her guide stick. Zhang Xiaoman looked at her back and chased after her.
"Beauty, I see it's not easy for you to be like this. Just hold on to my clothes and I'll take you home." Zhang Xiaoman said beside her.
The girl stopped after hearing this and "looked" in his direction. She had subconsciously wanted to refuse, but somehow she didn't say it.
"Thank you..." The girl lowered her head and responded, her voice small and weak.
Feeling the girl's little hand gently grasping his sleeve, Zhang Xiaoman suddenly felt a little excited. He never expected that he had been single for more than 20 years, and today he succeeded in chatting up a girl for the first time!
Then, the girl told her home address, and Zhang Xiaoman was surprised to find that she seemed to live quite close to Grandpa Sixth's house.
On the way, the two of them got to know each other.
The girl's name is Lin Sisi. She is nineteen years old and lives alone in this old city. She was originally studying at Yangzhou University. Because she suddenly lost her sight a year ago, she cannot go to school. Now she is with her. Only the guide dog Tutu.
"You live alone!? Where are your other relatives!?"
Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but be surprised when he heard about her living situation. In his opinion, it is difficult to imagine how a person who cannot see can live alone.
"My father and mother both grew up in Qidian Orphanage. They both died in a car accident a year ago... It was also at that time that I hit my head and became blind..."
Lin Sisi first lowered her head and spoke in a low voice, then suddenly raised her face and smiled: "Actually, it's nothing. I grew up here since I was a child, and the surrounding environment is very familiar. Plus the landlord Wang My aunt often comes to take care of me on weekdays, so my life is not as difficult as you think."
The smile on her face was bright, and there was no resentment at all, as if she was completely blind to the injustice of fate.
Zhang Xiaoman's heart was deeply touched, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Lin Sisi took the initiative to break the silence at this time. She pulled Zhang Xiaoman's sleeve and whispered: "By the way, when I was waiting for you two days ago, someone asked me about you. It hurt me before. I still thought your surname was Pei."
