"Oh, by the way, how many days are there in a Sword Bearer's year when you came back?"

While flipping through the couplets, Su Yi turned his head to look at Lorich beside him and asked in a low voice.

"348 days." Lolixi answered truthfully. Ever since he became conscious, the number of years in the system has been 348.

It seemed that something very sad had happened again, causing his friends to lose another day. Su Yi sighed silently, staring at the red and black paper in front of him, gradually becoming distracted.

After a while, Su Yi suddenly woke up, quickly adjusted his state, turned his head and looked at the girl next to him: "You choose the couplet this time. Let me test your recent literacy level."

He was very emotionally unstable during his full period and was even distracted just now. It was a huge mistake. If someone was lying in ambush nearby and wanted to attack him, he would definitely be injured.

With the new task, Lolixi's eyes immediately became extremely serious. He looked at the couplets on the stall, picked up each one, looked at it left and right, and considered it repeatedly.

After thinking for a long time, he took out the couplet he thought was the best and handed it to him.

Su Yi took it and muttered softly:

"May all your wishes come true, may you make a fortune, may you become rich, may you become very rich"

The horizontal banner reads: "May you get rich as you wish."

After reading it, the corners of Su Yi's mouth twitched slightly. Luo Lixi's aesthetic taste is really unique.

This couplet has a kind of beauty that has not been tainted by culture, but he seems to like it very much.

"Boss, if you buy this, will you get rich?" Su Yi stretched out his hand and showed it in front of the boss.

"I won't sell it to a young man unless he can make a fortune with it." The old man said with a smile, hugging his sleeves.

Su Yi's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Then have you become rich?"

"You'll get rich if you buy me."

He was slightly stunned when he heard this. How much money did this couplet cost to make the old man say such a thing? Doesn't it mean that even couplets have assassins now?

"It's not expensive, just 10 yuan. I said I would make you rich, but I didn't say how much."

Chapter 101 Your son is living with a foreigner

In the cold winter morning, thick frost shines on the white fog, the morning light is hurried and the sun and moon set, people's shadows are lopsided, the wind rises and the clouds surge, pedestrians pass by, and another year begins.

The streets were terribly cold at this time, and the cold wind passed by the ears like a knife, warning everyone walking there that they would be punished with frostbite if they did not take appropriate measures to prevent the cold.

Obviously, most people understand this truth as the year draws to a close.

At the entrance of Xingfu Community.

There was a middle-aged woman wrapped in a down jacket, shivering because of the cold wind blowing in through the gaps. She was bloated and had wavy hair. She said while counting the money:

"Xu Ying, why are you hiding even though you're already at the door? Are you so afraid of being discovered by your son?"

There was a hint of complaint in his tone, especially when he looked at the figure of the person in front of him, the resentment seemed to be even heavier.

Although they were both in their 40s, Xu Ying in front of him was well-maintained. She had not gained weight, and there were few wrinkles on her face. She had a dignified look. She was wearing a beige plush coat and neatly-fitted wool straight pants. She looked to be in her 30s.

"Let's not go today. We finally agreed to have a New Year's Eve dinner together. It would be bad if I make him unhappy when we meet and ruin this matter." Xu Ying sighed helplessly and exhaled a long puff of white mist.

"Is there enough money? Have you counted it?"

"That's enough. I think you should just tell him you're paying his rent."

The curly-haired woman wrapped in a down jacket pulled her zipper upwards with all her strength, stamping her feet as she spoke.

She was the landlord of the apartment rented to Su Yi, and the actual owner of the property that Su Yi called a paradise and that he would not allow anyone else to defile.

She has provided this apartment to Su Yi for many years.

"No, no, you must not let anything slip."

Hearing this, Xu Ying shook her head repeatedly, directly denying the answer, and said solemnly.

"Xiao Yi is a thoughtful person with a strong sense of self-esteem. He would rather starve than ask for charity. You can just use the excuse that your family doesn't need the money urgently and take 200 yuan from him every month."

As a mother, she was really afraid that the disappearance incident would happen again. It was really scary that her own child suddenly disappeared for several months.

Now that she didn't have permission, she didn't even dare to come and see Su Yi, for fear of annoying him and making him do the same thing again.

If he knew that I was secretly helping pay the rent, wouldn't he disappear again?

Knowing that his child has psychological problems, and that he has no working ability at a young age, and even has to work on construction sites to make money, he never asks him for help.

That's a construction site. Such a young child is still in the growing stage. Can he really bear it?

Xu Ying had no other choice but to ask someone to use their connections to find him an apartment next to a school in the central area of ​​LA, and then she secretly helped pay the rent.

I feel at ease knowing that my children have a place to stay.

The curly-haired woman rubbed her hands, placed them on her cheeks, and continued, "Alas, it's you and your son who are responsible. You sneak around like thieves every day and don't even dare to enter the community. Even if you go in and take a look, what can you do?"

Hearing this, Xu Ying was a little helpless. He stretched out his right hand, supported his shoulders, and lowered his head.

"You might not know this, but my Xiaoyi has become incredibly sensitive since he disappeared. The last time we met, he gave me the feeling he anticipated my arrival even when I was still a few hundred meters away."

"Ah, so mysterious, is it true? Although there are some rumors about your son, he looks quite normal." The curly-haired woman said in disbelief.

She had heard that Su Yi once almost stabbed someone in the head with a knife, but he was usually quite polite when they met, especially to her, he was so polite that it was scary.

Whenever he saw her, he would call her "Auntie" and from time to time he would respectfully call himself "the most kind person in Los Angeles."

She never thought that one day she would be awarded the title of a great philanthropist.

"I'm telling the truth," Xu Ying reiterated, her face unusually serious. "He wasn't like this before he disappeared, but after he came back, I actually felt a strange feeling towards my own son."

"What does it feel like?" the curly-haired woman asked curiously.

Xu Ying paused. "Like...like he went to Syria to be a mercenary for a few years and then came back."

Upon hearing this answer, the curly-haired woman's eyes flashed with surprise and she said in disbelief, "This is too outrageous! How can you miss your son so much? You must have been apart for too long and missed him too much."

"No, I'm not kidding. Don't reveal yourself when you talk to him."

Xu Ying naturally knew her son best. When the police called her, they told her that her son had been found and asked her to come to the police station immediately.

She was so excited that she drove over immediately.

Because I never had the chance to explain the divorce to my son.

This made Su Yi very gloomy.

But at least he is still a child who can be happy and express his emotions normally.

Then she was stunned when they met for the first time that day. She saw her son sitting on the bench in the police station with a murderous look in his eyes. He looked at everyone indifferently, as if he wanted to kill someone.

He kept his head down and didn't talk to anyone. No matter who came in, they all looked unfamiliar. Even Mu Xiaowei, his childhood friend, seemed to have become an insignificant stranger in his eyes.

She was even a little confused as to whether the person in front of her was her son. If she hadn't repeatedly identified his appearance, tone, and various small movements that were difficult to change, she would have missed it.

Until now she has not dared to ask what happened during those missing months.

It really makes one doubt whether there are two people in this world who look exactly the same.

"Alas - the relationship between you and your son is really unique. I hope my son will not be like this when he grows up." The curly-haired woman complained in a low voice. She was just giving suggestions on other people's family affairs.

Not only can she receive the normal rent for the surrounding school district housing every month, but she can also get an extra 200 yuan every month. She must be very happy to see this.

The 200 yuan from Su Yi seemed like something he had picked up for free.

There is no reason to refuse.

"Oh, by the way, I heard from Lao Zhang some time ago that your son seems to have a girlfriend."

Speaking of this, the curly-haired woman recalled something that the security guard Lao Zhang mentioned casually when she was chatting with him some time ago.

"Does he have a girlfriend?" Xu Ying was a little confused. Whether before or after his disappearance, Su Yi's interpersonal relationships didn't seem to be good.

His former class teacher, Lao Duan, used to call him often and say that the child was too withdrawn.

She thought that only Mu Xiaowei would be close to Su Yi. Could it be that the two of them are together?

Just as he was thinking this, the curly-haired woman in front of him smiled like an aunt, rubbed her hands, and leaned closer to him, saying in an extremely gossipy tone:

"Don't look at your son as a loner, but he's really capable. He's good-looking to begin with, and I didn't expect he even managed to pick up a girl."

"???"

Xu Ying didn't quite understand and looked confused, with suspicion written all over her face.

"What does Maozi mean? Does Xiaoyi's girlfriend have hair all over her body?"

Hearing that she didn't understand, the curly-haired woman became interested and stretched out her fingers to show off her knowledge.

"Oh, you don't even know that. They're Russians! That's not what the older generation calls them."

Halfway through her words, she added, "Old Zhang said your son is too old to play. He said the girl is his second aunt's cousin. This must be fake."

"This..." Xu Ying fell into a brief silence. Su Yi's second aunt, although living in a foreign country, is a classic childless cat-loving girl.

There are a lot of cats at home. Although I call them my sons and daughters, I definitely don’t call them my cousins.

Could it be that Su Yi also likes cats, picked up a little white cat from the wild and brought it home, saying it was his cousin?

"Ah, I know it's fake just by looking at your face. I heard they were living together a while ago. Someone even saw them buying couplets side by side yesterday!"

At this time, the elderly intelligence team of Xingfu Community came into play. They were well-informed and spread information quickly, which was far inferior to even the Daxia military and special forces.

No scandal can escape the eyes of the old man and the old woman.

"Living together?" Xu Ying never thought that her son could do such a big thing.

He is still in high school and is about to graduate, but he is still young. Has he reached this stage already?

If things continue like this, will she soon have grandchildren?

Xu Ying felt that she was young and ignorant, and it was too early to get married at the age of 20. She didn't expect that her son would be even better.

Seeing her slightly flustered expression, the curly-haired woman stopped joking and said softly, "I'm so sorry."

"But when I collected the rent a few days ago, I saw that no one was at his house. Maybe they just lived together occasionally for a few days, but it's probably far from that level."

"Oh - forget it, Xiaoyi has his own ideas. If he likes it, then let him do it. I can't control it."

Xu Ying sighed lightly and decided to bury this matter deep in her heart for the time being.

Emotionally speaking, having a girl can touch my son's heart and make him less lonely. To be honest, it's good to have someone by his side.

If you have something on your mind, you won't disappear.

……

"Sir, is this how the word 'Fu' should be pasted? Why is it upside down?"

In the corridor of the small apartment, Su Yi used transparent tape to firmly stick the word "Fu" he bought, and reached out to press it to make it fixed so that it would not fall off easily.

"Hmph, you don't understand this, do you? Let me give you a chance. Let me test your cultural level and guess why this is happening."

When she heard that she was asked to guess, Lolixi immediately became excited. She was determined to guess correctly this time to prove her growth.

So she stretched out her soft hands and lightly pressed against the door frame, staring at the word "Fu" in front of her as if she were facing an enemy, and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Lolisi turned her head to look at him, clasped her hands tightly on her chest and said excitedly:

"Sir, I understand. You mean to overthrow the world!"

His words were extremely confident, and he blinked his eyes and looked at him expectantly as if waiting for praise.

"No, how did you come to this conclusion by looking at the word "Fu" upside down?" Su Yi said in surprise.

He had no idea what the two were related to.

Unexpectedly, this time the silver-haired girl explained seriously.

"The character for 'Fu' is written as a 'mouth and field'. According to some descriptions, the 'one' stroke sometimes represents the sky, the 'mouth' can represent the population, and the 'field' can represent the entire earth."

"If it were reversed, the character 田 would be on top and the character 一 would be at the bottom, which would be like turning heaven and earth upside down."

"Since turning this word upside down was intentional on the part of the commander, what was the direct purpose of turning the heaven and earth upside down? It must be to overturn the world."

Luo Lixi's voice was ups and downs, and her little face was raised high. She felt that the way he twirled his fingers while speaking, a hint of excitement and pride flashed in her light blue eyes.

"Commander Lolisi has become smarter!"

After hearing this well-reasoned explanation, Su Yi didn't know how to refute it for a moment. This analysis made so much sense.

He is now too embarrassed to say that this is just a pun, which makes his idea seem very stupid.

So he could only nod in agreement with the girl's words and rub his head.
