Chapter 258: Lake Toya World
"Whew!"
In Edo, which was shrouded in night, Gao Cheng gasped and ran into an alley, leaning against the wall a little breathlessly.
It was the longest time he had stayed, and his legs were weak from hunger.
I couldn't help but look at the lantern-lit ramen stall on the side of the street, and the scent wafting in the evening breeze seemed to beckon to him......
Gao Cheng swallowed his saliva and reached out to grope in the clothes on his body.
In addition to the sword in his hand, there is only an old and broken book "Bushido Beginner", which was originally distributed to students by Matsuyo Teacher in Matsushita Village Juku, and it is not worth anything at all.
Unwillingly, I looked for it again, and I couldn't find a dollar when my clothes were about to be torn.
Gao Cheng looked at the pawnshop on the other side with a bitter face, which had not yet closed.
The only thing that can be pawned is this ronin clothes and a knife.,The clothes definitely can't be pawned.,If it's too knife.,Maybe it's not enough to attract the police.。
But if not, where can you get the money?
Wait a minute......
Gao Cheng was suddenly stunned, thinking of the members of the "True Selection Group" who had been chasing him.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a gangster, right? And the other party doesn't seem to want to make a noise......
Gao Cheng's face sank, and he walked back with his knife.
Yes, it must be a gangster, how could the police do such a thing as blackmail?
"Good boy!" Mo Xigan was annoyed that he couldn't find anyone, and when he saw that Gao Cheng actually threw himself into the net, he laughed angrily, "It's not a million that can be solved now, bring me three million!" ”
Gao Cheng held the knife and stood quietly in front of several gangsters: "I'm just a ronin, where did I get so much money?" ”
Moxigan smiled and said, "No money? Then go and sell your body, looking at the appearance of your fine skin and tender meat, you should be able to sell it for a good price......"
"I'm sorry," Gao Cheng slowly drew his knife out of its sheath, "no matter how short of money I am, I won't sell myself." ”
"What?" Moxican looked at Gao Cheng, suddenly shuddered, and involuntarily took a few steps back.
"What do you want to do?"
"Hey, hey!"
……
Half an hour later, Gao Cheng walked out of the pawnshop under the strange gaze of the boss, a few long clothes, a few knives, the pawn money plus some change on Moxigan's head, finally there was no need to worry about hunger, and the remaining money was enough for him to find a place to stay for a few nights.
Outside the alley, the first few people of Moxican, who only had their underwear left, happened to be escorted into the police car, and Gao Cheng hurriedly hid to the side and made a detour to avoid the police.
Although it's just an ordinary patrol officer and not a member of the real selection team, it's quite troublesome to be discovered, and I can't really become a wanted criminal.
Under the "Abolition of the Sword Order", only the people of the shogunate were allowed to wear swords.
It's just sad that in this world, it is actually a battlefield that is more suitable for him......
"A bowl of ramen, uncle." Gao Cheng followed the fragrance to find the ramen stall before, and couldn't wait to touch his hungry stomach.
"Who's the old man?" The pale-haired ramen stall owner lifted his head and put down the soup bowl heavily.
"Sorry, sorry......"
Gao Cheng looked at the old man with an uncle's face in a daze: "That, big brother, can you have a bowl of ramen?" ”
The old man quickly put a bowl of noodles in front of Gao Cheng: "Use it slowly." ”
"Thank you."
Gao Cheng excitedly took a pair of chopsticks, I don't know if he was too hungry, but he almost cried after tasting it.
It's not a pleasure to be able to eat a bowl in a place like this.
However, the problems faced have not diminished.
The first is the question of returning to the world of Conan, and the second is how to live.
He had enough of the precarious days at the beginning, and finally became the president of a well-known detective agency, and he didn't want to experience it again even in a dream.
Leaving seems to be only suicide, not considering it for the time being, although there is no chance to experience after the end of the war, but no matter how you say it, it is an opportunity to get through swordsmanship cards, and it can't be easily wasted.
All that's left is how to live.
Finding a place to live is inevitable, and then it's best to find a temporary job......
Gao Cheng thought about it, and it was probably the best choice to go to Wanshiwu at this time.
With the end of the war and the decline of the samurai, Sakata Gintoki, that is, the White Yasha in the previous battlefield, opened a house of all things in order to make a living, similar to his detective agency, living on commission fees.
Since it is a house of everything, it should not be a problem to help find a place to live and then find a job.
It just so happens that they are classmates and comrades-in-arms, so maybe they even get the commission fee free......
Kabukicho, Gao Cheng looked at the brightly lit streets in front of him in amazement.
After checking with the ramen stall owner, he quickly found the street where the Man-Se House is located, because compared to other places, the night is so lively, the roadside entertainment venues are full of neon signs, the crowds of people, the lounges full of women's laughter, and even the legendary cowherd shop.
I asked a few more questions along the way, and finally found my destination in a remote place.
The first impression feels a little shabby......
Walking up the stairs to the second floor, in addition to Sakata Gintoki, a silver-haired curly-haired man who looks like a dead fish-eyed uncle, there was also a young man with glasses and a cute girl with fair skin and a red flag suit.
Gao Cheng sat on the opposite side of the sofa, holding the gap between the glasses and the young man pouring tea, and glanced at the girl curiously, with blue eyes, petite figure, about 13 or 4 years old, sitting quietly on the sofa.
Sakata Gintoki stared at Gao Cheng with half-collapsed eyelids: "So you're here to ask me for help?" Who the hell are you? ”
"I, it's me!" Gao Cheng said coldly, "We've read books together and fought together, so you won't forget me so soon, right?" ”
Sakata Gintoki narrowed his eyes in thought, with a look of suspicion: "I don't know at all, hey, I said you guy, it shouldn't be the kind of 'it's me and me' phone scam, right?" Isn't that supposed to be looking for those old ladies......"
"Do I look like a liar?"
Gao Cheng stroked his forehead for a while, how unreliable is it that he doesn't remember him, even if he has been sacrificing on the battlefield, he should be a little impressed, right? Besides, when Matsushita Murajuku was still sitting next to him.
Is it because of the dream?
"Forget it," Gao Cheng said helplessly, "You guys are here in the house of everything, you should be able to help with anything, to be honest, is there a way for me to make millions of ...... in a short period of time"
"Bastard!" The girl violently lifted Gao Cheng's collar, "We can't even pay the rent now, how can we help you make so much money?!" You dead liar! ”
"Kagura, don't run away at every turn," Sakata Gintoki pulled the girl back and sighed helplessly, "How can the money be so easy to make, every time it is almost in hand, it is gone again." ”
The glasses boy frowned, and said angrily: "Don't mention it!" Every time you make a move, your deposit drops! ”
"Is there nothing that can be done?" Gao Cheng said distressedly, "Hundreds of thousands are fine......"
Sakata Gintoki groaned and looked Gao Cheng up and down: "If you are willing to go to the Cowherd Shop......
"Don't even think about it!"
"How about selling kidneys? Anyway, there are two, and one less can't kill anyone, so be decisive if it's a man. ”
Gao Cheng looked at Sakata Yinshi, who came up with the idea, and his head was full of black lines: "Did you help others like this before?" ”
"I really can't help it," Sakata said boringly, "It's impossible to be rich just by talking a few times." ”
"Then introduce me to a job," Gao Cheng lowered his demands, "To be honest, I used to be the president of a detective agency, and now I just need money to live for a while." ”
"The president of the detective agency?" Sakata and the others looked at Gao Cheng with refreshment, and said curiously, "Is it the kind of plague god who has murders everywhere he goes?" ”
"What are you kidding?" Gao Cheng didn't have a good air, "It's a detective, not a plague god!" It's as if the murder happened to be related to the detective, and besides, I'm not the kind of detective who is prone to murder......"
"Isn't it?"
"Of course, is there a job that suits me? It doesn't matter about the salary, it's better to have a place to live. ”
Gao Cheng slumped his eyelids impatiently.
"I'll pay the commission fee with my salary."
Sakata's eyes lit up: "Do you want a job that doesn't pay a salary?" Wrap it up and don't eat it. ”
Gao Cheng roared with a black face: "Isn't that just a day job?!" Besides, why only wrap it up and not eat it? I want a regular job! Even if you are a waiter! ”
"Well," Sakata said with some disappointment, "it's easy to find a job as a waiter...... Do you know how to cashier? ”
"Yes...... Would it? ”
Gao Cheng sighed lightly.
Originally, I was going to go to the dream battlefield to improve my combat ability, but I had to worry about life again.
