Chapter 888: Heaven and Hell in a City

Early in the morning, Mingzhu wrapped her headscarf, put on makeup, slightly covered her original face, and went out cautiously.

At this time, Mingzhu has no longer regained the appearance of that pretty and talented girl, she is wearing a simple linen skirt, due to makeup, her face looks slightly freckled, these big ones have reduced the beauty on her face, so that her original beauty who is bright at a glance looks only a little more durable at this time.

After escaping last time, Mingzhu was very desperate to find that because he had money at the time, it was easy for Shenjing to come in, but now that they have no money, it is difficult to get out, especially if he wants to escape with a comatose Qianshan Xue, it is even more impossible.

It is impossible to escape with your feet, it is even more impossible to hire a carriage to escape, there is no money, and it is even more foolish to take the Chidao train.

Moreover, she seriously suspected that when she escaped with Qianshan Xue, she would definitely be chased by the pursuers of the Qianshan family, so she gritted her teeth and had the courage to take Qianshan Xue to live in this Shenjing.

After all, this is the largest city in the world, and in the era when there were no high-rise buildings, the population of the population reached a terrifying four million!

In a city with such a large area and such a large population, trying to find two people is tantamount to looking for a needle in the sea.

It is absolutely impossible for such a terrifying population to live in good dwellings, so the southwest of the city has become a slum where most of the poor live, and the most here are endless shantytowns, some of which are simple grass and wood structures, and the slightly better ones are just bamboo and wood structures, and the houses are next to each other, and there is some movement in the house, and the next door can hear it clearly.

Looking down condescendingly, the shantytown was densely packed, and at a glance at a cut through the hive face, there was a buzzing sound from inside, the sound of the poor who lived at the bottom, and no one could tell whether it was the sound of bees or flies.

After Mingzhu managed to steal a sackcloth dress, she sold her original silk dress for the last bit of money, so that they could settle in this slum.

But even so, it is so simple that it leaks everywhere, and it can only accommodate two people to lie down and sleep, and the small dilapidated house that even has to be sideways when it lands has to collect two copper plates every day, counting the two of them eating, drinking, and Lazar, they can only afford to live for seven days at most!

She must find a job to support herself as soon as possible!

So Mingzhu went out early in the morning, wanting to find a job, but out of the slums, Mingzhu is now in this hive maze into trouble and confusion, her left and right are full of poor people, some of them are wearing the most rudimentary linen clothes, and a big hole is broken in the body, but inside the big hole is frozen and pus chilblains, but they look at her numbly, as if they are walking dead, and look at Mingzhu as if they are a dead person.

Under her feet there is foul and stinky water everywhere, they flow wantonly on the ground, and when you step on it, it makes a sound as if you are stepping on a swampy quagmire, and you can hear the sound of waves when you pull up your feet, clearly reminding everyone who walks here: you have fallen into the most terrible quagmire of life, and no one should want to leave easily!

Although Mingzhu used to be a maid and maid after being sold by her parents, and later became his musician because she was talented in music and was discovered by Qianshan Xue, but even after being sold, her living conditions improved, although her life was under great pressure, and even her life safety was in jeopardy, but there was never a shortage of brocade clothes and food, and she had never experienced such a bitter cold and such a simple living environment.

The sounds around her buzzed, filling Mingzhu's mind, and she was overwhelmed, until a hand next to her suddenly slapped her shoulder, and a soft and kind voice came from the side.

"Girl, new here, right?"

Mingzhu suddenly came back to her senses, she turned her head to look, but saw a kind smiling face next to her looking at her with a smile, this is a middle-aged woman in her forties, with an amiable, loyal and honest face, which makes people feel kind and reliable at first glance.

Mingzhu nodded subconsciously, and she said, "You are ......"

The middle-aged woman said with a smile: "It's good to call me Aunt Shen, the villagers here call me that." ”

Mingzhu nodded and said, "Aunt Shen......"

The middle-aged woman sighed, took Mingzhu's hand, and said with a smile: "Is the girl looking for a job?"

Mingzhu suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw like a man in the water, and immediately grabbed Aunt Shen with a force in his hand, and said, "Aunt Shen has a way?"

Aunt Shen smiled proudly: "Is that okay? Who around here doesn't know my Aunt Shen's door?"

Mingzhu hurriedly said: "Aunt Shen, can you introduce a job to your niece?" I can do anything, as long as I am allowed to do a job!"

Aunt Shen said seriously: "It's okay, but it's just ......"

Mingzhu immediately understood, and hurriedly said: "My niece will definitely not forget Aunt Shen's recommendation, and there will be a good reward!"

Aunt Shen smiled and said: "Eh, they are all poor families, and it is appropriate to help each other! However, Aunt Shen also eats this bowl of rice, and Aunt Shen doesn't need to introduce you to this job, as long as you have half of your income in the first month, okay?"

Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief at this moment and nodded gratefully.

In her opinion, if Aunt Shen doesn't take any benefits, then she should be vigilant.

How can there be a pie in the sky?

Now that the other party is clearly asking for benefits, it makes her feel that Aunt Shen is reliable.

Mingzhu followed Aunt Shen to drill around in this labyrinth-like slum, and after about two quarters of an hour, the two came to a slum-like hill like a pile of shantytowns, Mingzhu looked around a little nervously, only to see that all around were powerful men, all unkempt, staring at him like a wolf.

Mingzhu clenched his fists tightly, his arms tightly folded on his chest, his head pressed low, and he didn't dare to make any eye contact with the people around him.

When she followed Aunt Shen into the house, she felt a wave of heat rushing in, the brazier in the room was burning very strongly, and there were four tower-like thugs standing in the corners, and in the center a tall, bearded man with a beard and open arms in the middle was sitting on a wolfskin chair, and on either side of him, two women with hot figures, revealing clothes and gorgeous faces were entangled and laughing with this man.

As soon as Aunt Shen entered the house, she pulled Mingzhu and knelt down, and said, "This is Master Quan! Most of the villagers here are begging for food under Master Quan's hands." ”

Mingzhu kowtowed respectfully and said, "Master!"

Aunt Shen smiled: "This is my niece, here to beg for food." ”

Quan Ye took a bite of the jerky fed by the demon woman next to him, he raised his head and glanced at Mingzhu, he looked up and down, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, it just so happens that the master wants to use people!"

Aunt Shen was overjoyed, looked back at Mingzhu with a smile, and said, "You are blessed, just in time! If your niece is flying in the future, you must remember Aunt Shen!"

Mingzhu was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "I will not forget Aunt Shen's ......"

Before he finished speaking, Aunt Shen smiled and said, "However, at first, I had to suffer a little, and my niece had to endure it!"

Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then she fainted with a pain in the back of her head, her body fell limply, and a burly thug behind her carried her like a sack.

Quan Ye waved his hand disappreciatively, and the thug carried her out, leaving Aunt Shen to smile at him: "Quan Ye, is this number enough?"

Quan Ye pursed his lips and said, "You old woman, you are lucky, if it weren't for the recent shortage of people in the building, where would it be your turn to open your beard so continuously?"

As he spoke, he threw over a money bag, Aunt Shen hurriedly caught it, she weighed it, listened to the sound inside, and felt that there were about two hundred copper plates in it, she immediately smiled, and said, "Master Quan, then I will go, if I find good goods, I will send them to Master Quan!"

Quan Ye waved his hand impatiently, as if he didn't bother to take care of her.

Aunt Shen didn't care either, and left with a smile, holding the money bag tightly in her hand.

Here, a woman with a slender figure and a decent appearance is only worth two hundred copper plates...... On the other side of Shenjing on Shenyi Street, the price of a random dim sum that is not even stuffed between the teeth is two taels of silver, which is equivalent to 2,000 copper plates.
