Red Dust Daqian

In the middle of the night, Zhou Sen once again climbed through the window to enter Vanilla's room. Zhou Sen had sneaked in so many times, but the window of Vanilla's room had never been closed, as if it was specially reserved for Zhou Sen. Vanilla had always left a window open for Zhou Sen.

As soon as Zhou Sen entered the room, he was caught by the furious Xiangcao, who beat and kicked him all over the head. While beating him, she cursed: "You stupid Mumu, you stinky Mumu, you lecherous Mumu, you haven't even kissed me, but you kissed other girls." After beating him for a while, Xiangcao heard Zhou Sen start to wail, and her anger slowly subsided a little, so she stopped beating him.

Crouching in the corner with his hands protecting his head, Zhou Sen waited for Xiangcao to stop beating him. He raised his head, with dark circles under his eyes. He smiled carefully and comforted Xiangcao: "Senior sister, are you angry? In fact, today was just an accident..." Before Zhou Sen finished speaking, Xiangcao grabbed Zhou Sen's ears, threw him out of the room, and scolded: "I am your senior sister, why do you break into my room every day?" Zhou Sen didn't say much after being kicked out of the room, and didn't continue to pester her. He knew that Xiangcao's anger had subsided by half at this moment, and his purpose of coming here had been achieved, which was to let Xiangcao vent. Zhou Sen limped back to the room.

Vanilla in the room secretly opened the door a crack and saw Zhou Sen limping back to his room. She felt a little distressed. Suddenly she thought of the scene she had just seen. Zhou Sen squatted on the ground, covering his head, and forced a smile with the panda eyes that he had beaten. His image was extremely funny. Vanilla knew that Zhou Sen had come into the room to vent her anger. She felt funny and distressed at once. With a chuckle, Vanilla laughed...

On the second day, the four of them got up early, had breakfast, packed their luggage, and prepared to set off for Xiaojia, a small town called Xiaojia Town on the edge of Changnan County.

Zhou Sen took out half of his family property, 1500 taels of silver, on this trip to avoid delaying the redemption due to money problems. Bringing out this half of his family property was also to comfort Xiao Zhuyu. It clearly stated that his mother would not be wronged because of money problems.

A carriage and a horse, moving in a line. Originally, Zhou Sen drove the carriage, Xiangcao and Xiao Zhuyu rode in the carriage, and Zhao Tiechui rode alone on horseback, but Xiangcao was unwilling to ride in the same carriage with Zhou Sen and insisted on kicking Zhou Sen off the carriage. In the end, Zhao Tiechui drove the carriage, Xiangcao and Xiao Zhuyu rode in the carriage, and Zhou Sen rode alone on horseback. The four of them set out on the journey to Xiaojia Town.

Along the way, Xiao Zhuyu was in a low mood because she was worried about her mother's safety. Xiangcao was like a big sister, comforting and taking care of Xiao Zhuyu. Everyone talked and chatted, and soon they arrived at Xiaojia Town. Because Xiangcao deliberately ignored Zhou Sen, Zhou Sen was depressed all the way.

After arriving at Xiaojia Town, Xiao Zhuyu led Zhou Sen and others directly to the Xiao Mansion. However, the plaque on the door of the Xiao Mansion had been changed to Tao Mansion. Things have changed, and the people living inside are no longer the Xiao family. After calling the gatekeeper and asking, they found out that Xiao Zhuyu's father was addicted to gambling and couldn't pay off his debts. In the end, he even mortgaged his ancestral home. The current resident, the owner of the Tao family, was unwilling to talk more about the original Xiao family, and did not allow the servants to gossip, and directly drove people away and closed the door to refuse visitors.

Xiao Zhuyu had no choice but to ask the neighbors of the Xiao family. When the neighbors saw that the person asking was Xiao Zhuyu, they were moved again. It turned out that Xiao Zhuyu was still alive. These neighbors had heard that Xiao Zhuyu was captured by the dog-wolf demon for a year, and they all thought that she must be in danger. Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhuyu came back alive.

After the neighbors exchanged greetings and expressed their feelings, they began to talk about what had happened in the Xiao family in recent years. Xiao Zhuyu's father had been ignorant and addicted to gambling since he was a child. Later, he became addicted to alcohol. After the ancestral home was pawned, he still did not repent. Recently, he had another big bet with someone and even used his wife as a bet. This ruthless man lost his wife. Xiao's father, who lost his wife, was depressed and made trouble in the restaurant. After being driven out of the restaurant, he somehow wandered to the deep river east of the town and fell into the river. When someone found him and prepared to rescue him, it was too late. Only a cold corpse was fished out. The head of the village went to confirm that the corpse was indeed Xiao Zhuyu's father. At that time, Xiao Zhuyu's mother had lost the gambling, and there was no one else in the Xiao family. The head of the village arranged for the villagers to bury the person directly in the mass grave. The neighbors also cursed that this prodigal son of the Xiao family was not worthy of being buried in the Xiao family's ancestral tomb. As for the Xiao family's ancestral home, because of Xiao Zhuyu's father's intention, the pawnshop thought that the Xiao family had no one left and no one would redeem the house, so they just sold the house at a discount. People in Xiaojia Town felt that the house was unlucky and no one was willing to buy it. Now, an outsider who didn't know the truth bought it.

Xiao Zhuyu was not sad because of her father's accidental death, but was indignant. Her grandfather had only passed away for a few years, and the family was ruined by such a prodigal father. It was better for him to die, so that he would stop harming others. Xiao Zhuyu did not hesitate too much and quickly asked the neighbors about the whereabouts of her mother.

From the neighbors, I learned that Xiao Zhuyu's scumbag father always bets very high every time he gambles. When he lost Xiao Zhuyu's mother, Xiao Zhuyu's father was so drunk that he was 50 taels short of the opponent and couldn't open the market. Xiao's father, who no longer has any financial resources, has no one around him willing to lend to such a gambler. This scumbag gambler actually listened to the instigation of the people around him and directly took Xiao Zhuyu's mother as a bet, with 50 taels of silver as collateral. The gambler from the other side heard that Xiao Jialang's wife was very beautiful and he was a bachelor, so he agreed directly. After signing the document and opening the market, Xiao Zhuyu's father directly lost his wife. The gambler from the other side seemed to be a family with the surname Tang, but the neighbors had no idea where the family was. Xiao Zhuyu could only go to the casino to inquire. The Tang family took Xiao Zhuyu's mother away directly with the document from Xiao Zhuyu's father.

The condition of Xiao Zhuyu's mother was unclear, and Zhou Sen and others did not dare to waste too much time and hurried to the casino.

Xiao Zhuyu was very emotional. She caught everyone in the casino and asked them if they knew that a few days ago, a gambler named Tang won a wife. Such a big bet was quite a sensation in the casino at that time. Many people had heard of it, but when they asked about the gambler's name and where he lived, they all hesitated and refused to answer, or didn't know. Xiao Zhuyu became more and more emotional, and his behavior became more and more intense, seriously affecting the gambling activities of other gamblers. Soon, the casino staff drove him away. When they asked these casino staff about the gambler named Tang, they refused to tell Zhou Sen and others on the grounds of keeping the client's identity confidential.
