"So now start your 71st journey to death!" Xiaobu's tears have stopped.

Zhang Xianxian came to the human world again this time.

In the past, she had been an orphan, and at most she had a fake younger brother when the Water God was experiencing tribulation. But this time, when she first entered this body, she found that her so-called parents had sent her to a brothel to work as a fire-making maid.

Seeing them admonishing her was a little bit uncomfortable, "Donghua, this brothel is the place with the best treatment, you have to work hard!"

Zhang Xianxian nodded perfunctorily, and her parents chattered on for a while before reluctantly saying goodbye.

She had never felt this before and didn't know how to speak. As she watched them walk away, she felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Before he had time to think about it, the manager, Old Chen, called him to light the fire.

Making a fire is a difficult task.

On the first day of work, Zhang Xianxian almost smoked herself into a charcoal.

On the second day of work, my face was still dirty, but not as dark as it was the previous day.

On the third day of officially starting work, I found a little trick that allowed me to use the paper stolen from the brothel owner to help me light a fire faster.

After who knows how many days on the job, his fire-making skills had become perfect. It was a pity that his theft of paper from the madam was discovered. However, Old Chen did not inform on him. Instead, he took the initiative to give him a new account book and told him to come back for the new one after he had torn it up. What a nice old man.

Zhang Xianxian discovered that whenever she came to the human world, Chu Yue and Dachuan could never follow her quickly. Could it be that their feelings had faded?

"What are you thinking about? You're going to get yourself blackened again. You were ugly to begin with, and now you're even uglier." Old Chen looked at Zhang Xianxian in a daze and wanted to give her a reminder, but the words changed their meaning when they came out of his mouth.

Zhang Xianxian was also very bored. When she saw someone talking to her, she didn't care who it was. "Do you think the relationship between people will fade if they don't keep in touch?"

Old Chen pondered for a while and said, "Do you have a lover?"

Zhang Xianxian was almost suffocated by the smoke again, "No, I'm burning fires here every day, where would my sweetheart come from?"

Old Chen thought that this girl was too idle. "That depends on how deep the relationship is. If the relationship is deep, even if you haven't contacted each other for several years, you will still be the same when you meet. But it is true that some people will disappear without a trace once they stop contacting each other. People are the most difficult to understand. Why do you think so much? It's so easy to just keep busy every day!"

"Old Chen, do you have any friends?" Zhang Xianxian seemed to have never seen Old Chen drinking with anyone.

Old Chen laughed and left. This old man seems to have a story!

The three-man gang has not gathered yet, and Zhang Xianxian has nothing to do except making fire every day. Now she finally discovers that Lao Chen seems to have some little secrets, so of course she has to dig it out!

I heard from the brothel servant that when Lao Chen first came, he was in rags, and the madam Xu Niang felt sorry for him, so she kept him to work for her. He has been working there for about ten years.

Seeing that Lao Chen was efficient in his work, Xu Niang gradually made him the manager, who was usually responsible for managing the work arrangements of the maids and servants.

Old Chen has always been alone and has no hobbies, but he listens to Xu Niang very much and has never disobeyed her orders.

There are two kinds of women in brothels. One kind sells their art but not their bodies. Most of these women were originally high-ranking officials and nobles, but had to enter this place of prostitution because of their family's decline. A small number of them are just staying here temporarily, waiting for a destined person to redeem them.

The other type is those who sell their art and their bodies. These people don’t care who they have a romantic relationship with, they just hope to have enough money to live on when they are old.

The two types of people look down on each other, and Lao Chen is responsible for resolving the conflicts between the two sides.

Lao Chen always says what he means but doesn't mean it. Every time he deals with something, the two parties who don't like each other will direct the conflict directly at Lao Chen, causing Lao Chen to run away in fear.

At this time, Zhang Xianxian would clap her hands and cheer, wondering who asked the old man to be so rude.

It is undeniable that Lao Chen is indeed a good person.

Whenever a girl was wronged, Lao Chen was always the first to arrive. Although his effect was not obvious, Zhang Xianxian found that the person who committed the crime would disappear for several days. When he came back, he seemed to be possessed by some demon and had lost a lot of weight.

No one around had noticed this matter, so Zhang Xianxian thought that she should not make a big fuss about it to avoid causing more trouble.

Old Chen would always go out in the middle of the night, and Zhang Xianxian once discovered him when she went to the toilet.

Logically speaking, the elderly should go to bed early and get up early, and few go out to do things in the middle of the night. Zhang Xianxian couldn't help but admire Lao Chen even more. This little old man was in better spirits than herself.

All the women in the brothel had a red rope regardless of their status. Lao Chen noticed at a glance that Zhang Xianxian's red rope was different from the others, so he became very interested in it. He even studied it with Zhang Xianxian, but found that he couldn't get it off no matter what he did.

Old Chen was not a persistent person, so he just didn't care if he couldn't get it. He told Zhang Xianxian that this thing would not do her any harm, and never mentioned it again.

Zhang Xianxian thought this was really a strange old man.

When the three-man gang was not yet complete, Lao Chen was the only person Zhang Xianxian spent her boring time with, and her most common task every day was to observe Lao Chen.

But these good days did not last long, as a woman named Zhusha came to the brothel.

Zhang Xianxian felt that she must have never seen this woman before.

Zhu Sha inexplicably targets Zhang Xianxian. Whenever Zhang Xianxian appears in front of her, she will always order her around.

She was just a little fire-making maid. She looked at herself in the water tank and found that she was not as beautiful as Zhu Sha. But this did not affect her status! Zhang Xianxian and Xiaobu complained.

Instead of receiving Xiaobu's comfort, Lao Chen laughed and said that he and cinnabar had a bad fate in his previous life.

Zhang Xianxian felt even more puzzled, as she had never offended any other women in all her lifetimes.

When I wanted to ask more deeply, Lao Chen pretended to be busy and went somewhere else.

If you can't afford to provoke him, at least you can avoid him. Zhang Xianxian tried to avoid appearing around Zhu Sha as much as possible.

Zhusha is also a person who sells her art but not her body. Due to her excessive beauty, she always gets into a lot of trouble. Lao Chen always comes back with a bruised face and nose, and has become increasingly thinner recently.

"Old Chen, what's wrong with you? You seem to have been drained of your energy by a vixen lately?" Zhang Xianxian was still very concerned about the old man's condition.

Old Chen knocked Zhang Xianxian on the head and said, "What a vixen! You little girl, you have been corrupted by the environment of this brothel after all!"
