"Fine, go ahead."

"I hope you don't forget the task."

"The faster the better, otherwise if someone else completes it, then these rewards of yours might not necessarily belong to you."

This specially dressed guy, after seeing the performance of the young man in front of him, immediately snorted, and then said casually.

After speaking, without waiting for the young man in front of him to react, he jumped up and disappeared in place.

"Pop."

This young man, after seeing the specially dressed guy leave, immediately wanted to stand up anxiously.

But the next moment, he sat on the ground with weak legs again.

At the same time, the cold sweat from his head to his back had already eroded his clothes.

Even though the weather was very good today, he still felt a bone-chilling cold.

"Hoo~"

But thinking of the call from his old mother in the house, he finally adjusted his breathing, gritted his teeth, and forcibly stood up holding the corner of the wall.

Then adjusted his emotions again, and shouted loudly toward the house.

"It's fine, a friend came to visit just now, I entertained him here, now the person has left, don't worry."

After speaking, he held his breath again, adjusted his state as much as possible, and walked slowly toward the house.

496. A hint of blame, breaking the memory! (Please subscribe!)

And during this period, the old woman in the house, after hearing the young man's voice, immediately felt relieved.

Originally, the anxious emotion in her voice slowly dissipated.

Instead, it carried a hint of blame.

"Is it Er Zhuzi from next door?"

"You say, you haven't let people come to visit for such a long time."

While speaking, she began to mutter about some past events.

And the young man standing by the wall outside the house, for a time, couldn't help but show a bitter smile.

His heart was sour but he couldn't say it, and finally everything could only turn into a sigh.

Said.

"I know, I will pay attention next time."

After speaking, he looked outside the house again.

In a trance, he seemed to see the specially dressed guy who had just left.

"Hey, brother, I didn't expect you to choose this time to come over, you should also not want to be troubled, right?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice appeared beside his ear, immediately breaking his state of memory.

"Er Zhuzi? Is it you?"

"Why are you here to fetch water at this time?"

"According to reason, don't you fetch all the water you need for the day early in the morning?"

"Why wait until this time today to come over?"

The young man, after being broken out of his memory state, immediately looked toward the source of the voice.

Surprised to find that the person who came was his good friend next door, Er Zhuzi.

"Hey, don't mention it..."

"I messed myself up while doing things yesterday, so I didn't come over early in the morning to crowd with people."

"Isn't this thinking of taking advantage of the few people now to come here?"

"In this way, not only don't have to worry about too many people crowding, but also can fetch less water at once, at worst come a few more times."

While speaking, Er Zhuzi waved the water bucket in his hand casually, looking indifferent.

But these words fell into the young man's ears, as if carrying a struggle. 【795-4

"Are you injured?"

"Where are you hurt?"

While speaking, the young man began to look Er Zhuzi over with great concern, wanting to find exactly where he had been injured.

This young man knew very well that Er Gouzi's family situation was actually much the same as his own, only slightly better.

Otherwise, the two of them could not have maintained such a long-standing relationship.

At the same time, he also understood very well that Er Gouzi had a very strong personality; if it were just an ordinary injury, he wouldn't even pay much attention to it.

He would just continue to push through, but today he had chosen such an abrupt time to fetch water, which really made him worry.

"Sigh, what's there to look at? Just some minor injuries."

"It'll be fine after resting for a couple of days."

However, after hearing the young man say this, Er Gouzi hurriedly put on a nervous posture and set down the water bucket at his side.

He waved his hand and continued to say.

"Aren't you here to fetch water? Hurry up."

"It's better to finish fetching water early and go back to rest. By the way, see if your mother needs anything else?"

As Er Zhuzi said this, he quickly returned to normal.

For a moment, the young man could not help but show a look of confusion.

He felt that something was not quite right.

However, considering the current situation and his own task,

plus the fact that Er Zhuzi had mentioned his mother, his thoughts became chaotic once again.

He immediately did not say anything more.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's fetch water first. If you have any problems later, remember to tell me; maybe I can help."

When he said this, the young man could not help but think of the reward that strange fellow had given him—it was a piece of glittering gold.

Regarding such a valuable item, he did not carry it on his person, but instead hid it very carefully in an inconspicuous place at home.

This was for fear that if he kept it on him, it would be lost or snatched away by someone else.

However, considering that Er Zhuzi, his very good brother, was by his side,

he also thought that besides using it to treat his mother's illness, it could also be used to help his good buddy.

"No need, I already told you no need. This little matter is not worth mentioning."

Er Zhuzi looked at the young man before him and immediately waved his hand, saying with an indifferent attitude.

At the same time, the sweat on his brow gradually increased.

Not only that, his gaze was constantly observing his surroundings, as if he were worried about something.

However, none of this was noticed by the young man.

Because after the initial period of relative warmth,

he quickly remembered the task he had promised to complete.

497. Completing the Task, Continuing to Decline! (Please subscribe!)

At the same time, the oil-paper package in his hand was constantly reminding him of the task he bore.

As well as the consequences of failing to complete the task.

"Fine, since that's the case, then just call me when the time comes."

After a moment of silence, the young man spoke up again.

"You should hurry and fetch your water so you can go back; that way you won't have to worry too much about things at home."

At the same time, he revealed a smile.

However, the smile carried a hint of reluctance.

But to his surprise, after hearing the young man's words, Er Zhuzi hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

"No, no, no, you go first. Once you finish your business, you can go home and take care of your mother."

"I'm not in much of a hurry; I fetched water yesterday, and there's still quite a bit left."

"It's enough to last for a while today."

As he spoke, he also smiled somewhat reluctantly.

"Ah?"
