Chapter 10
After having lunch at Lao Wen's gate, Wen Rou ignored the hot weather and went out to look for a century-old locust tree.

Lao Wen told her that to find old locust trees, she had to go to the old city. Only old houses could have locust trees. The old trees in new houses had long been cut down.

Wenrou took the bus and went directly to an old city.

Behind the high-rise buildings lies a dirty and dilapidated urban village.

Nowadays, people living here are either elderly people or renters.

Wenrou walked around the streets and asked Douzi to confirm her age when she met an old locust tree.

On a hot noon day, there were very few people on the street, and the most heard was the hum of the air conditioner.

Suddenly there were shouts and beatings from around the corner.

"Hi, um... I just came over and saw the urban management patrol, and it seemed that they were coming this way." Wenrou decided to help the beaten child, which was very pitiful.

When the five teenagers heard this, they turned around and saw the fat Wenrou. They were afraid of the urban management who might come over and left cursing.

The beaten boy crawled on the ground, curled up, and held his head motionless.

Wen Ju said: "Hey, are you okay?"

The young man seemed to have recovered from the defensive state of being beaten. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at Wenrou, and slowly got up from the ground.

When he saw a fat girl, the young man had a look of disgust on his face. He ignored Wenrou's concerned look, patted the dust off his body, and limped away.

Wenrou asked: "Are you from the village in the city here?"

The young man still ignored her.

Wenrou asked again: "Do you know where there is an old locust tree?"

The young man turned around and said, "Who am I to tell you, you damn fat man!"

poor person must have something mean.

"If you know where the old tree is, tell me. If it's the old tree I'm looking for, I'll pay you 50 yuan." Wenrou said.

The young man who was limping away heard the money and rolled his eyes: "Old tree? How old is the tree?"

Wen Judao: "An old locust tree that is more than a hundred years old."

The young man was overjoyed: "There are not many other old locust trees in our village. I will take you to see them."

It costs 50 yuan to find one. In his impression, there are dozens of old locust trees in the village. Ten trees means five hundred, dozens of trees... This kind of business requires.

After the young man took Wenrou around two corners, he came to a dilapidated house. In front of the house was an old locust tree that could hardly be hugged.

Wenrou was very happy, and she still had to hire local snakes to do things.

But Douzi quickly discouraged Wenrou's enthusiasm. The tree was far from a hundred years old, only 60 years old.

The young man took Wenrou around the village in the city and saw many old locust trees, but none of them were a hundred years old.

The young man was very impatient: "It's not this, it's not that, are you entertaining me? I'm already sweating a lot on this hot day!"

Wenrou wiped her sweat and said, "I'm feeling hot too. I'm really looking for an old locust tree. As long as I can find a century-old locust tree, I'll pay you an extra fifty. How about giving you a hundred?"

The young man originally wanted to earn hundreds or even thousands of yuan, but now he can only earn 100 yuan from co-writing, and his attitude suddenly became bad: "Is there something wrong with you? You are not sleeping at home at noon, why are you looking for an old locust tree everywhere?" I won’t accompany you anymore, so I’ll pay you 500 yuan for transferring this noon.”

I couldn’t find the old locust tree, so I walked around for only half an hour and asked for 500 yuan. It was simply robbery.Wenrou argued: "We agreed that if we find a locust tree that is more than a hundred years old, we will pay you 50 yuan. If we haven't found it yet, I naturally don't have to pay you anything."

"You're saying that if it's not over a hundred years old, it's not over a hundred years old? These old locust trees in our village are all over a hundred years old, so give us the money quickly!"

"Since I said it's not over a hundred years old, I naturally have my own judgment method. I won't give you money if you can't find it!" Wenrou has always been a miser, except when it comes to buying food.

"Do you want to be beaten?" The young man threatened viciously.

Wen Rou backed away and said: "If you dare to hit someone, I will call the police. Now we are cracking down on gangs and evil, and I will report you as a member of the Black Society of the Village in the City! You, you live here anyway and are from this village, and you beat me , the police can also find you!"

Maybe it was the call to the police that scared the young man. His inner cowardice and fear of bullying made the young man give up his decision to beat Wenrou.

But he didn't give up: "I've been walking around with you all afternoon, but you still have to pay me 100 yuan for hard work."

Wenrou insisted: "We agreed to give it only if we find a tree that is over a hundred years old."

The young man was stern and helpless: "Really, you are so stubborn. What are you doing with Old Shu?"

"I need a piece of wood from an old tree."

"How about old wood?" The young man's thoughts were divergent.

"Is it a locust tree? Is it 100 years old?"

"Then how do I know? Anyway, he looks very old."

"where is it?"

"at my house."

Wenrou hesitated whether to go or not. This guy was obviously not a good guy, but she was afraid of missing something.

Douzi said at this time: "Go ahead, we already have 110 points, which can be exchanged for an electric shock. If that guy dares to do something wrong to you, we will exchange it for an electric shock. Shock him. An electric shock can make the person being shocked fall into coma."

Wenrou was surprised: "Where did my twelve points come from?"

I just finished redeeming the information and only 98 points are left.

Douzi: "Exploration scores, we have written down the places we have visited and passed them to the company database, and the database will distribute the points."

Wenrou understood, but being stingy, she still thought she could save points if she could: "You can only redeem them when I ask you to."

"Okay Rourou."

Wenrou followed the young man to his house.

This boy's home is the shabbiest and lowest house that Wenrou has seen in the village in the city for so long.

Hidden in the innermost part of an alley, there are two old, narrow wooden doors. When you open the door, you will see a narrow dirt yard with messy things piled up in the yard. The two north rooms are low and dilapidated, with the walls peeling off. The mud inside was exposed. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Wenrou wouldn't believe that there were still mud houses in Langshi City.

In fact, looking back, this was not an urban area before, but a village outside the city. With the continuous expansion of the city, it has gradually turned into a village in the city.

"Xiao Bo, are you back?" An old voice came from the low mud house.

"Is there anyone in your family?"

"My grandma, ignore her." The boy looked impatient. He walked to the faucet in the yard, picked up a short wooden stick from a cement pool and said, "This is it. As long as I can remember, my grandma used it to beat her while washing clothes." The clothes, grandma said they were left behind by her mother-in-law."
