Chapter 49 Why is the arm broken?!

Author: Long Naoying

After Xu Shenjue said goodbye to the middle-aged musician, he came to the fifth floor of the bell tower.

On the fifth floor is a gray-haired old man, wearing a white cloth, with gray hair hanging down to the ground, his temples are also gray, and dense wrinkles stretch from his forehead to the corners of his mouth.

The old man is holding his left hand and playing the harmonica slowly and gently.

Seeing Xu Shenjue's arrival, although he looked surprised for a moment, he still ignored it and continued to focus on his harmonica.

The sound of the harmonica was sad and angry, sobbing, and seemed to be splashed with tears.

However, when Xu Shenjue reached the fifth floor, his mood was no longer as relaxed as before. His heavy heart felt like a heavy stone weighing on him after seeing the old grandfather.

The old man’s right hand is broken just like Qixi’s grandfather!

Xu Shenjue's steps at this moment were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and the steps he could barely take were already struggling.

"Grandpa, why do you... have your right arm broken?"

Although Xu Shenjue felt it was rude, the fact that the musicians on the fourth floor were under house arrest told him that this Fengguyun Island hides too many secrets!

"Young man, are you new to Fengguyun Island?"

The old man slowly raised his eyebrows, stopped playing the harmonica, and looked at Xu Shenjue. The man in front of him looked majestic and had an extraordinary temperament. Judging from the old man's many years of experience in dealing with people, the man in front of him must be no ordinary person.

Xu Shenjue looked at the old grandfather and neither admitted nor denied it.

"Oh, if outsiders can come to Fengguyun Island, it must be for factory matters."

Xu Shenjue looked at the old grandfather, clenching his hands into fists, and his nails even slightly penetrated into his flesh.

[Factory?! Another factory?! What on earth is a factory?!]

"I do go to see factories, Grandpa."

Xu Shenjue replied honestly, full of pity for the group of musicians under house arrest in front of him, and even full of anger towards Fengshen at this moment, with mixed feelings.

"So, you are also here for the poisonous smoke bomb?"

The old man seemed to be a wise man, looking at the younger generation in front of him, but maybe it was because he was already octogenarian and didn't care much about anything.

"Poison smoke bomb?!"

It was the first time that Xu Shenjue heard such a thing, and he felt as if a python had choked him instantly.

"Don't you know? Didn't you come to Fengguyun to buy poisonous smoke bombs?"

The old man was also surprised. He frowned and looked at Xu Shenjue, guessing the identity of the person in front of him.

"I'm here for my friends. So what does the poisonous smoke bomb have to do with grandpa's broken arm?"

Xu Shenjue was keenly aware of the connection and took a step forward towards the old grandfather.

"You can make a lot of money by working in a factory and making poisonous smoke bombs. But there will always be several accidents every year, and once an accident occurs, there will always be a few unfortunate people who will be infected by the poison, because the hands are usually Once the first contact is infected, if it is not spread to the limbs immediately, the poison will spread throughout the body and cause death. Unfortunately, I was once such a poisoner."

The old man left his seat and walked towards Xu Shenjue, stopping when he was still a few steps away from Xu Shenjue.

The person in front of him was different from the others sent by Fengshen before. He was not simply inspecting the factory, but seemed to be searching for something.

"Why do you have to do such a dangerous thing?"

Xu Shenjue also frowned incomprehensibly.

"Hahaha."

Hearing this, the old man looked up to the sky and laughed instantly, as if he had heard an extremely childish joke.

"Young man, no wonder I see that you have an extraordinary temperament and are well-dressed. It seems that you are also a person who is not short of money. People who are not short of money really cannot understand why poor people often do many things that they know are dangerous."

The old man's laughter was clear and almost sad.

"If you don't have enough to eat every day and are hungry, do you really care when your death will come? You will only live one day at a time, right?"

A smile and a sigh met on the grandfather's lips from time to time. This smile was more painful than the sigh.

But Xu Shenjue, as if he suddenly understood something, staggered back a few steps, feeling ashamed of his arrogance and ignorance.

"So, in order to make money and have enough to eat, everyone has to go to work in a factory, make poisonous smoke bombs, and endure the pain of being poisoned at any time and needing joints and limbs?"

"If you go to the top floor and take a look, you will know that most of them are middle-aged and middle-aged people who have to support their families. They have to take risks to make quick money. Men often change their behavior in order to support their families. Become a steel warrior who is not afraid of risks. After all, looking at the children at home who are waiting for food, what can't you do? You are still too young..."

When the old man thought of his wife and children at home, he sighed with emotion. Even if he was under house arrest here, even if his arm was broken, it would be enough to ensure that they had enough food and clothing.

Xu Shenjue lowered his head, thinking of Xu Chengying's smiling face, and then thinking that even when his parents were facing powerful enemies, the first thing they thought about was to protect themselves, tears filled his eyes.

Xu Shenjue squatted down weakly, holding his head in his hands, feeling helpless, angry and sad about the arrogance of the middle-aged musician who had just promised to save the fourth floor.

Lan Wu once again took out a large diamond and several gold ingots from his pocket and handed them to the boy who stopped him on the third floor.

"Is this enough?"

Seeing so many gold and silver jewels, the boy understood that he was in front of a man of great wealth. His indifference at the beginning immediately turned into a polite and respectful greeting. His right hand was attached to his abdomen, and his left hand stretched out to the left, guiding Lan Wu. Move forward.

"Welcome distinguished guests, please take a look at the third, fourth, and fifth floors. If you want to buy the most expensive things, it should be on the highest floor, the most private place."
