Zhang Yan's memory of Zhuzui Alley is not clear. He must have heard of that place before but never been there. After all, the Zhang family did not need to live in a place like Zhuzui Alley when his predecessor was successful. The Zhang family only went to Zhuzui Alley after his predecessor was convicted and sent to the army.
Although they now have fertile land gained through military service, the Zhang family, which had just had two years of prosperity, still did not move out of Zhuzui Alley, saying they were waiting for Zhang Yan to come back before thinking about it.
Walking to the alley, Zhang Yan could clearly feel that the living environment here was very bad. Not to mention the sewage flowing across the street, at least there was always a lingering smell of feces and urine in the air, which made people frown. At the entrance of the alley, there were a few idle green men squatting on the roadside, holding small sticks in their mouths and looking around aimlessly.
It is estimated that you can see so many green skins wandering around in Xicheng. Because Qingpi, there are not so many honest and down-and-out people in the west of the city for them to bully. Moreover, the more corners there are, the more naturally they will harbor dirt.
"Hey! Who are you?"
Zhang Yan was about to enter the alley when he was stopped by a few green men. They probably saw the bulging baggage on his back and his unfamiliar face, so they came up to test the water. If he was a softie, wouldn't there be some advantage?
Zhang Yan smiled. He didn't see such bastards in his previous life on earth. Without answering, he tightened the bag on his back, pinched the green-skinned neck of the questioner with one hand, making it difficult for the other party to break free like an iron hoop, then raised his right hand and slapped him across the face twice, using a lot of force. Two blows knocked out the opponent's three back molars, and he was thrown to the ground and the person fainted. However, blood bubbles were still spitting out of his mouth, and his face swelled rapidly.
"How dare you talk to me like this when you don't even know anyone? The demon soldiers on Yubei Mountain don't even have such a voice. If you don't have eyes next time, I will dig them all out for you! Get away!"
You can't be reasonable when dealing with green-skinned gangsters, because if you don't understand, they will regard you as cowardly. They only understand fists and kicks.
Of course, Zhang Yan never thought about defeating this opponent in one go. Even though these green-skinned people are suppressed now, tomorrow they will definitely recruit their accomplices to regain their place by shouting and shouting. If you can beat them up again, then you can say that you have defeated them.
A few green men weighed Zhang Yan's stance, lifted up their unconscious companion on the ground, and ran away. However, there was quite a lot of anger in their eyes when they left.
"Young man, are you causing trouble for yourself? These people are like mangy dogs. They will annoy you to death even if they don't bite you."
How could such a loud noise at the alley door go unnoticed? A rickety old man saw that Zhang Yan had a kind face, so he tried to persuade him.
"Hey, mangy dogs are indeed annoying, but just use some force and kill them. Just kill one when it comes, and there will be no trouble." Zhang Yan replied with a smile, and then walked into the alley.
No need to ask anyone, sister Zhang Huiyuan has already clearly stated her home address in the letter. Come in from the west alley entrance and walk straight ahead. When you see the first well, turn left. After turning left, you will reach the fifth door.
"Dong dong dong."
"Who is it? Wait a minute!"
Zhang Yan took a deep breath, then knocked on the door. After a few breaths, he heard a reply from inside the door. The voice was a little hoarse and obviously lacking in energy. It also sounded wary. He could tell it was an older woman.
At this moment, Zhang Yan suddenly had mixed feelings, and an emotion he had never experienced before quickly occupied his entire heart.
"Crunch!"
The dilapidated wooden door opened a small crack from the inside, and an old woman's face was revealed from behind.
"Mom, the child is back."
"...You, Yan'er?! You're back!" The old woman's eyes widened, and she opened the wooden door with a face full of surprise. The little son she had longed for day and night was finally back.
"Mom! The child is unfilial and makes you worry!" As he spoke, Zhang Yan knelt down on his knees, his head banging on the ground.
Before, Zhang Yan didn't know how she would feel when facing a "strange" mother, and she struggled with it. But the moment he saw the old woman, all his hesitations, guesses and even worries disappeared. In the end, all he had in his heart was the instinctive affection and guilt.
This may be the influence of the inherited body, or it may be Zhang Yan's regret of being an orphan in his previous life. Now he regretted that he had been leisurely and leisurely driving on the road, but it made his mother worry about him every day. It was really inappropriate.
Seeing her son kowtow to her, Wang Lanping burst into tears and quickly hugged her son's head to prevent him from kowtowing. He kept saying, "It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back..."
For Wang Lanping, her son really "resurrected" this time. After many twists and turns, he came back from a desperate situation. Isn't this the blessing of his ancestors?
"Yan'er, get up quickly. The ground is cold. Let's go inside and talk. Your elder brother will be extremely happy if he knows you are back."
"Okay mom." Looking up, Zhang Yan realized that his face was already full of tears, but he didn't know it. At this time, the old woman in front of her was no longer "strange" at all. How could that kind of blood connection be false?
Before entering the door, Zhang Yan looked back at the people around him who came out to watch the excitement, nodded to these people, and then followed his mother into the house.
"Is that Wang Lanping's youngest son?"
"Didn't you say that arson and murder turned into beheading? What's going on?"
"I heard that he was sent to the army, right? Could it be that he escaped and ran back?"
"Tsk, escaping? It's possible in a small place. We in Langyuan have never heard of escaped death row prisoners sneaking in. Most likely they were exonerated after being expelled from the army, right?"
"It's possible! No wonder this kid is so cruel. When he entered the alley, he was stopped by Liu Ganzi and asked him a question. Without saying a word, he slapped out all three of Liu Ganzi's back molars. He was so angry that he looked like he came back from the frontier. .”
...
There have always been no secrets in Zhuzui Alley, and the news that the Zhang family had returned from beheading reached everyone's ears faster than wings. Even Qingpi, who came to inquire about the news at the alley, soon learned the news and trotted back to invite people. It turns out that he is just a soldier. Do you think he is great if he knows some fists and kicks? You don't take them seriously! This time I must give him a try!
Also receiving the news were some people who had been paying attention to Zhang Yan's news.
For example, a thin young man was drinking with a singing girl in his arms in a flower house. When he heard the words of the entourage below, the smile on his face turned cold.
"He's really back? Humph, it's not easy to start in other places. Now that he's back to Langyuan, let's kill him again. Go find Xiao Chongwen and the others, and say I'll have a drink with them. .”
