Chapter Seventy-Four: Soldiers and Notices
Wen Shu just ran "Qingping Decision" for a complete day, and the sky outside the window was already bright.
Pushing open the window, the sun had not yet fully risen, and a few birds were jumping up and down on the branches of the big tree, chirping, which was very crisp and beautiful.
The girl, the attic, the big tree, the birds, and the gray fluttering skirt on the ground, Wen Shu smiled dumbly, and suddenly felt a bit like filming a Cinderella melodrama.
Kelsang Ma's tavern sits in the middle of the city, and the streets below are already bustling with women and maids who go out to buy groceries, porters who struggle against their employers' goods, and vendors who sell porcelain, jewelry, and spices have set up their stalls on the roadside.
Wen Shu took a deep breath, the morning air was very fresh, mixed with a strong water spiritual power.
With the improvement of cultivation, Wen Shu's demand for spiritual power is now becoming more and more large, in the past, it was only the Qi refining period, but after cultivating in one night, she could clearly feel that her spiritual power was increasing and her strength was improving.
After building the foundation, even with the assistance of Wen Xuening's refining is the best Qi Gathering Pill, one night would only be enough for her to completely run a set of mental methods in the meridians once, and the spiritual power in the sea of qi could not be seen to have increased much at all.
Absorbing the spiritual power of a night during the Qi refining period, it is like a drop of water falling into a small cup, more or less you can see some changes, Wen Shu is now a wide sea of qi, comparable to Jin Dan, but the realm is only in the foundation building period, with her ability to build the foundation period, the spiritual power absorbed in one night is like a drop of water falling into a big lake, and she doesn't feel anything.
However, Agra was close to the sea, and the water element was abundant, and it was barely enough to support her cultivation.
After a simple clean-up, Wen Shu put on the gray dress that Gesang Ma threw at her before leaving, put on a dirt-resistant bib, and walked downstairs slowly.
The tavern was quiet in the morning, and the young man who had been busy all night was still asleep in one of the kitchen cabinets, while Kelsang Ma slept in his large and cozy room.
On a table in the center of the tavern was a basket with several coppers and a note:
Dear Thea, if you wake up early, please go to Nanshi to buy ingredients, and the rest of the money will buy you breakfast.
Suddenly feeling that Kelsang Ma was not as stingy as rumored, Wen Shu picked up the basket, put on the turban, pushed open the door of the tavern and walked out into the street.
Kelsang Mar threw a total of five copper gurugs in the basket, and there was a menu of dishes to be bought under the note.
The morning Agra bazaar is very lively, and the vendor in front of the door is selling baskets, and the stall owner is a young woman who is seriously weaving flower baskets from rattan.
Next to the tavern is a shop that sells flatbread, and diners hold fragrant cakes with minced meat in them, and a bowl of pure fragrant milk tea.
When the grandmother who sold flatbread saw Wen Shu, she beckoned her over.
"Little one, I remember you, you were the little girl who followed Hodge yesterday, that black-eyed bad guy won't sell you to Kelsang Ma!"
"Hello Grandma, my name is Thea. ”
Wen Shu greeted politely:
"I'll be working in Aunt Sangmar's tavern from this day onwards, so please take care of me. ”
"Oh, Hodge's greedy worm! He really sold you!"
Grandma screamed when she heard this, and her high-decibel voice quickly attracted the attention of the others.
The people around him gossiped and gossiped, and their eyes looked at Wen Shu from time to time.
"That's the little maid that Kelsang Ma recruited yesterday?"
A beautiful woman shook the fan in her hand, stared at her big beautiful eyes, turned her head in some surprise, and asked the fat maid beside her.
The fat maid beside her was showing an expression of disbelief:
"How is it possible, who can't think about it so much!"
Her gaze fell on Wen Shu, and she immediately covered her mouth and exclaimed:
"Look, madam, she's so thin and weak, with little arms and legs, what kind of work she can do!"
Then he patted his big chest proudly: "Only a strong maid like me can do all the work well!"
"I heard that Hodge couldn't afford to pay the protection money, so he gave his niece to Kelsang Ma!"
A chair seller took a sip of shisha and said, "I was drinking in Kelsang Ma's tavern last night, and I vaguely heard Kelsang Ma say that he didn't have enough money or something. ”
"Niece, how did I hear that she was Hodge's illegitimate daughter, because she didn't want to be scratched by her wife when she got home, she sent her illegitimate daughter to Kelsang Ma!"
Seeing that the words in his ears were getting more and more outrageous, Wen shook his head and said to the grandma in front of him: "Thank you for your concern, grandma, but Uncle Hodge didn't sell me, I volunteered to stay." ”
"What do you say! Grandma looked incredulous.
"Yes, Grandma, Aunt Gesang Ma is very nice and has arranged a place for me to live when I am homeless, so that my work is not so tiring. ”
For Wen Shu, he just helped add most of the night's drinks, and cleaned up the entire tavern by the way, so he didn't waste much effort.
Grandma looked at Wen Shu with a smile, although the little girl was thin, but she was indeed in good spirits, not like she was enslaved very miserably, she didn't know what to say for a while, she just muttered to herself: "No, it's hard for the stingy ghost Gesang Ma to change his temperament?"
"Hey, I said, don't look at this girl, it's this. ”
A big man staggered over, he was holding a wine jug in his hand, his fat face was red, he raised his hand, gave Wen Shu a thumbs up, and said to the people around him proudly, "I was also in the tavern yesterday, she was really capable, no matter how busy she was, she didn't spill a drop of wine, she worked alone last night, at least two of Arthur!"
Arthur was the guy who slept in the kitchen.
"Then according to what you say, Gesang Ma has found a treasure!"
"Hahaha!"
The people around laughed when they heard this, obviously not believing it.
"Here you go, take it and eat it!"
The grandmother who sold breakfast had come back to her senses, she handed Wen Shu a cake, and when she saw that the other party hesitated, she hurriedly said: "Don't worry about Xiao Thea, I know that Gesang Ma never pays wages, I don't take your money for this big cake!"
"If you feel embarrassed, you can come and help Grandma when you are free. ”
Wen Shu was very embarrassed to take Grandma's flatbread, looking at the kind Grandma in front of her, although she had already opened the valley and didn't need to eat breakfast, she still felt a trace of warmth in her heart.
"Thank you, Grandma, if you need my help in the future, just let me know!"
By asking Grandma, she knew that the place where the vegetables were sold was in the West Market, and Wen Shu bit the flatbread and walked towards the West Market.
As he walked, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a group of soldiers rushed through the street on tall horses, and vendors and civilians hid on the side of the road, these soldiers were dressed in silver armor and wore helmets on their heads, and their faces could not be seen clearly.
They didn't stop until they were under the city walls of the West Market, and when they looked at the people gathered around them, the leading soldier took out a notice and pasted it on the city wall, and said loudly: "The king has lost a golden camel bell, and if anyone can provide useful clues, he will be rewarded with five hundred golden guruls!"
