Jingle bells, jingle bells –

"Let it go, let it go!"

A man in a felt hat and a coarse cloth jacket pulled a rickshaw on the bluestone avenue, and pedestrians on the road avoided it.

And on the back seat of the rickshaw, the old god Yue Zheng was there, playing with a few coins in his hand, and he was looking at the scene full of the sense of the old times along the way with strange eyes.

Although he didn't know how to go, he finally solved the problem by stopping a rickshaw driver on the side of the road, reporting the address of his home in his memory, and letting the driver carry him straight to his destination.

The rickshaw he is riding in now is roughly similar to the rickshaw of the semi-feudal society in the previous life, purely pulled by manpower, and the distance from Yue Zheng's demon slaying hall to his home is about four or five kilometers, and the fare only costs 10 copper yuan in total.

The origin of the fare was naturally found by Yue Zheng when he checked his belongings in the isolation room of the Demon Eradication Hall, a total of two silver dollars and 80 copper dollars.

Playing with the coins in his hand, Yue Zheng looked at the man in front of him who was running wildly, and asked in a loud voice:

"Dude, how much money can you earn in a day like yours, can you have a silver dollar?"

"Guest, you're laughing. ”

The man pulling the cart gasped and said without looking back:

"Like us, who work hard for the car dealership, except for the time of eating and resting a day, we are lucky to pull more than a dozen customers and earn a silver dollar, but this has not yet counted the pumping of the car dealership and the wear and tear of the vehicle. ”

Is that so......

Yue Zheng scrubbed his chin and looked at a silver coin with a beautiful pattern in his hand, thoughtful.

The new country of this world uses a silver standard monetary system, 10 copper dollars are equivalent to one tenth of a silver dollar, in the fragmented memory of the original owner, a silver dollar can buy 20 catties of rice, five or six catties of pork, more than 100 eggs, the purchasing power is not strong.

Take a peek and see the whole leopard, if you calculate this, the salary of the night patrol team where the original owner is located is 50 silver dollars a month, which is already a very good income, and the reserve demon slayer issued by the demon slayer hall is 100 silver dollars, and the salary of the official demon slayer is 200 silver dollars, which is definitely a high income.

Of course, these people are also a high-risk group that often has to fight with madmen and horrific deviants, and they can be regarded as trading their lives for them.

"Brother, you should be on the Night Watch. ”

Yue Zheng was still thinking about it, the coachman opened the chatterbox, he recognized Yue Zheng's identity by his clothes, and said with some concern:

"I think you seem to have come out of the Demon Slayer Hall, did something unclean appear last night?"

Sure enough, even the coachman in this world knows that there is something abnormal......

Yue Zheng's heart moved, and he replied casually:

"No, I was going to join the Demon Slayer Hall, so I went there. ”

"Joining the Demon Slayer Hall?

The coachman was obviously taken aback, and looked back at Yue Zheng with surprise and envy and admiration:

"Not everyone can enter the Demon Removal Hall, everyone in it is an elite expert, and those who can join it have a great future. No wonder when I saw you, I felt that you were magnificent, and at first glance you were the dragon and phoenix among people, not ordinary people!"

This coachman, is the rainbow fart very slippery?

Listening to the coachman's sycophant, Yue Zheng almost laughed out loud, and couldn't help but say: "Brother, even if you say so, I won't overpay your fare." ”

"Where, where. ”

The coachman pulled the car harder, and said with a smile:

"If it weren't for the existence of your demon slayers, I don't know how many people would be killed by those unclean things, so I rushed here, I will pull you for free this time, and I won't charge you a penny!"

I didn't expect the prestige and influence of the demon slayer to be so high, Yue Zheng was really surprised, and then suddenly he was surprised.

According to Deputy Lieutenant Tiger, it has been more than a hundred years since the emergence of demons in this world, and in this long period of time, in order to cope with the successive terrifying events of loss of control, madness, and mutation, this group must have paid countless sacrifices from generation to generation in order to maintain the stability of the city and society under such circumstances, so it is not difficult to understand the prestige of the demon slayer group among the common people.

The two continued to chat, passing through the low and old houses, through the avenues and alleys, and finally twenty minutes later, they came to a somewhat remote neighborhood.

"Guest, it's here!"

On the side of the street, the man pulling the cart stopped, put down the handrail, and wiped his sweat breathlessly.

Yue Zheng got out of the car, first glanced at the faintly familiar streets around him, and then put two copper dollars with a face value of 10 on the seat of the car.

When the coachman saw this scene, he immediately said urgently: "You said that you don't charge money, are you looking down on me?"

"It's not easy for anyone, so you just take it!"

Yue Zheng waved his hand, and after giving the money, he turned around and walked directly into a narrow alley, and then walked quickly towards the small courtyard in his impression.

At the same time, in his mind, various memories of the past surfaced.

The parents of the original owner are also members of the ordinary people, and they have to run for a living every day, so even if the basic breathing method is in a state of complete public circulation, they have not practiced much, and because of the overwork when they were young, their health is not too good, and they often have to go to the pharmacy to grab medicine, and can only do some work like laundry and basket weaving to pave the family.

And her sister Yue Qing has a well-behaved and sensible personality, she has been studying since she was a child, and her grades are excellent, and she was even admitted to a girls' school in the county, just waiting to graduate from a girls' school to be admitted to public office and change her fate.

But before that, whether it was the parents' medical treatment or the sister's entrance examination, half of the cost of the family fell on the original owner, that is, although the original owner's salary was good, he never saved any money, let alone buying tonic herbs and assisting in the practice of breathing.

Thinking so in his heart, his own courtyard was already in sight, and at this time, a fat woman with a toilet next door immediately found Yue Zheng coming from the alley, and immediately shouted as if he had discovered a new world:

"Boss of the Yue family, are you back?"

As she spoke, without waiting for Yue Zheng's reaction at all, the fat woman turned her head and shouted to the courtyard of the original owner's house:

"Huang Guizhi, Yue Shan, come out quickly, come out quickly, your boss is back!"

The memory of the original owner was so missing that Yue Zheng really couldn't remember the identity of this person, so he could only smile with embarrassment and politeness, and the woman's words were like throwing stones on the calm lake, and the courtyard first heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and then the courtyard door was pushed open suddenly, and a simple middle-aged couple walked out quickly with a fifteen or sixteen-year-old beautiful girl, and saw Yue Zheng for the first time, and Qi Qi shouted happily:

"Ah Yue, you're finally back!"

"Brother!"

The girl suddenly rushed over and threw herself into Yue Zheng's arms, and the middle-aged couple immediately surrounded them with excitement and surprise, the middle-aged woman who was dressed plainly, and her eyebrows and eyes were similar to Yue Zheng's tears, and she looked up and down to see if there were any injuries on Yue Zheng's body, and choked up:

"The spirit has appeared, the talisman I asked for from the Supreme Heavenly Venerable has appeared, and you are finally back......"

The middle-aged man next to him, whose face was vicissitudes and whose body was a little rickety, said excitedly:

"Ah Yue, they didn't do anything to you in the three days they took you away, did they?"

"Abba and Grandma, Sister ......"

The matter of the original owner being taken away by the demon slayer has obviously been notified by Luo Cheng, Yue Zheng looked at these three faces that were both familiar and unfamiliar, his mouth moved in a thousand thoughts, and finally said:

"I'm back, don't worry, I'm fine. ”

"Okay, okay, okay, okay!"

Huang Guizhi and Yue Shan nodded again and again, but at this time, the fat woman who was emptying the toilet on the side looked at Yue Zheng cautiously:

"Boss of the Yue family, are you really okay? I heard from the Li family's kid that you encountered something unclean at night three days ago, don't harm your neighbors!"

At this moment, because of the fat woman's shout before, many people in the neighborhood heard the movement and walked out of the yard, especially after hearing the fat woman's words, they also whispered:

"Liu Jinhua is right, I also heard that the boss of the Yue family encountered something unclean that night, and he almost went crazy!"

"That'...... He can't have all those unclean things on him, can he? How can you put him back so quickly?"

"Who knows, I think it's better for every family to be careful. ”

Well?

All of a sudden, all kinds of gossip from the neighbors floated in, which suddenly made Yue Zheng frown.

"Liu Jinhua, what do you mean?"

Among all kinds of gossip, Yue Qing and Yue Shan Huang Guizhi's faces suddenly turned red, obviously they were not lightly angry, Huang Guizhi pointed to the fat woman Liu Jinhua for the first time, and scolded:

"When you hear some gossip, you think it's the truth? My son has been released by the demon slayer, which means that he is fine! Do you think you are more patient and knowledgeable than the demon slayer?"

Huang Guizhi was like a lioness guarding her calf, pointing around:

"And you neighbors, after my son joined the night patrol, you asked him for help whenever something happened, how many times have you been bullied by the ruffians and hooligans, it was my son who took the lead for you, and now you are talking cool here?"

was pointed at her nose and scolded, Liu Jinhua's chubby face was a little unbearable, and she said:

"Huang Guizhi, what do you mean? Who is your son unlucky? Who doesn't know how powerful those things are, what's wrong with us being careful?"

"That's it!"

What is the mentality of these neighborhood leaders Yue Zheng knew in his heart, he frowned, took out the waist card given by Xu Liang, and said in a low voice:

"Do you recognize? This is the identity credential of the Demon Exterminator, to tell you, I resisted those things that night, so the Demon Exterminator Hall took a fancy to my qualifications and has recruited me as a Demon Exterminator, this is proof!"

After all, he inherited the body of the original owner, and Yue Zheng didn't want to see the original owner's family being excluded, so he used the method of internal breath operation between his mouths, and the voice suddenly shocked everyone, and the neighbors were all dumbfounded after seeing the waist card in Yue Zheng's hand clearly:

So, that's the Demon Slayer's waist card?

The boss of the Yue family was actually chosen by the Demon Slaying Hall?

This......

The name of the demon slayer undoubtedly has a great deterrent effect, and even if those present do not know much, they can also recognize the unique symbol of the demon slayer on the waist card. Such an unexpected development made the three members of the Yue family surprised and delighted, while all the neighbors looked at each other.

Yue Zheng glanced at all the neighbors, including Liu Jinhua: "What, who else thinks I have a problem now?"

"No, no, no, we ......"

As far as Yue Zheng's eyes could see, these neighborhood leaders bowed their heads submissively, not daring to look him directly into the eyes. Especially Liu Jinhua, who was the first to provoke the incident, her mind was blank, she didn't dare to say a word, her fat face was full of embarrassment and panic, and she froze in place.

The group of demon slayers, the status and rights in the new country are extremely special, even in the eyes of ordinary people, the military police, patrols and the like are very far behind, almost everyone knows that once they join the group of demon slayers, the future is so great that compared with them ordinary people, they are completely people from two worlds, they are too late, how dare they offend half a point again?

A farce delayed a lot of time, Yue Zheng put away his waist card, didn't bother to pay attention to these philistine neighbors, and said to his parents and sister who were surprised inexplicably:

"Abba and Grandma, Qingqing, let's go home. ”
