Chapter 54: The Beginning
"Huh~" Ye Qiu, who walked out of the city lord's house, let out a long sigh of relief, and a gold coin was thrown into the air by him with a ding. When he looked up to pick it up, Ye Qiu's eyes were shaken by the sun, and he accidentally let the gold coin fall to the ground.
The gold coin fell to the ground with a crisp sound and rolled down in a straight line.
The paper kite on one side complained: "Brother, you don't care too much about money, right? That's a gold coin!"
Ye Qiu smiled, recalling what had just happened in the city lord's house.
It turned out that the thunder wolf had always been a big hatred in the hearts of the merchants, so they offered a high reward of ten gold coins for this fourth-order thunder wolf. It's just that this thunder wolf is elusive and strong, so few people are willing to take care of it.
After receiving the bounty, Ye Qiu gave the three squads three gold coins respectively.
"Brother Ye Qiu, you were the one who killed the thunder wolf, what are you doing?"
Ye Qiu explained: "Well, aren't you also participating, this is what you deserve." ”
The captains of the three squads shook their heads one after another, expressing their unwillingness to accept the payment.
Ye Qiu said again: "Actually, I'm bribing you. ”
"Uh-huh?????"
"I came to Huayang City to have something to do, and I don't want too many people to notice me. If you collect the money, you will keep it a secret from me!"
Ye Qiu was investigating the clues of Yanshu, if his name was known by too many people, it would definitely be inconvenient for the next thing. That's why he came up with the idea. Facing the city lord just now, Ye Qiu used his "beauty" to get Garcia to tell his father that they worked together to defeat the soul beast.
Ye Qiu didn't know why, he always felt that the city lord was very cold to Garcia's biological son, and he wanted to wish he was injured: "Garcia, you can come back without hanging the lottery, it's okay." ”
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu shook his head, he looked in the direction where the gold coin rolled over, he couldn't take care of other people's family affairs. At this time, Ye Qiu saw a little boy about twelve or thirteen years old who was unkempt and dirty. The boy looked directly at the gold coin, and then looked at Ye Qiu, who came over.
Ye Qiu clearly heard the sound of the boy swallowing saliva.
The boy raised his head, his clear blue pupils looked at Ye Qiu, he was stunned for a second, then picked up the gold coin and stretched out his hand to Ye Qiu.
Looking at the boy, Ye Qiu had the illusion of seeing himself. Ye Qiu could feel that there was a huge pain hidden under the boy's clear eyes.
Ye Qiu didn't take the gold coin handed over by the boy, but reached out and touched the boy's head. He asked, "What about your father and mother? Why are you squatting here alone?" ”
As if feeling Ye Qiu's kindness, the boy's eyes turned red for a moment, and he bit his lip tightly tremblingly.
Ye Qiu squatted down, "My name is Ye Qiu, what about you?"
"Pasil. The boy let down a little guard in his heart to the man in front of him, and he tried not to let himself cry, "I heard from adults that my father and brother were captured by the bad guys, and I don't know what to do." ”
"Where's your mother?" Ye Qiu was very sympathetic to the boy.
"My mother died after giving birth to my sister. ”
"So, take the gold. Ye Qiu handed the gold coin back.
Pasil first showed a surprised expression, then hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, Dad said that you can't easily accept gifts from others. The boy's stomach made a rumbling sound at this time, he couldn't help but blush, and said in a low voice: "Brother, I don't want your money, but can you buy me something to eat, my sister is sick, I want her to eat more." ”
It turned out that the boy also had a sick sister, Ye Qiu thought about it, then stood up and stretched out his hand to Pasil.
"Are you willing to bring your sister to live with the eldest brother for a few days, as a price, you have to help me get familiar with the environment of Huayang City!"
"Hmm!" Pasil nodded in surprise, and then, Ye Qiu followed him to a dilapidated hut.
On the way, Ye Qiu looked at everything around him and sighed: It turns out that the rich Huayang City also has such a place.
It was a very remote area, mostly in dilapidated houses like Pacier's, with a slight smell of garbage in the air, and the pedestrians around him were busy in shabby clothes, and no one noticed him as a foreigner.
Ye Qiu came to Pacil's house, and there was a thin figure shrunk in a shabby but cleanly washed quilt. When the girl saw her brother coming back, she said weakly, "Brother." ”
That sallow face looks like a paper kite before.
Ye Qiu gently picked up the girl and took the paper kite and Pasil to the hotel where she lived. He retrieved a doctor for the girl, and took Pasil to take a shower and change clothes.
Eating the hot meal that he hadn't seen for a long time, the boy said gratefully: "Brother Ye Qiu, I will definitely repay you when I grow up." ”
Ye Qiu laughed softly, since he came back from the Night Kingdom, he had helped many people along the way, and almost everyone said that they wanted to repay him. He didn't know that after a long time, it was these people he helped along the way who became his most reliable and solid backing.
Ye Qiu relieved the girl to be taken care of by the paper kite, after all, their experiences were very similar, and the girl who aroused the sympathy of the paper kite received the most exquisite care from the paper kite.
The boy took Ye Qiu for less than a week to visit the huge Huayang City. During this period, he saw what magnificence was, and also saw the darkest corners of Huayang City.
There were many people begging, and there were several children like Pasil. But Ye Qiu is not a good person, he can't help these children.
On this day, Ye Qiu stopped in a solemn place.
A plaque above reads: Qingluo, God is with us.
Outside the door, two men in dark green robes greeted everyone who came to pray, just as he was about to go up and ask for a closer.
"Brother Ye Qiu!" Ye Qiu heard someone calling his name, and following the voice, Ye Qiu saw Garcia, who made him a little physically scared.
Garcia was flanked by Luke and Joey, who were behind the members of their squad.
Garcia looked at Pasil and was stunned for a moment, and then smiled meaningfully at Ye Qiu: "Wow, Brother Ye Qiu, it turns out that you like younger ones." ”
What are you misunderstanding again! Ye Qiu said secretly, he had a headache, this person was very friendly to him, but he was a little gay.
Ye Qiu ignored Garcia's words and asked, "Garcia, who are you?"
Garcia patted Ye Qiu's shoulder and said kindly: "We received news that there was a case of missing persons in a place called Anxu Village in the west. We were ordered to investigate. ”
At this time, Pasil pulled Garcia's pants and asked, "Big brother, are you going to catch the bad guys who took my dad and brother?"
In Ye Qiu's heart, the word Yanshu came out coldly.
