Chapter 67: Progress Blocked
After two days, An Xu did not meet any mercenaries who came to answer the call.
However, two ordinary logistics personnel were recruited, who were responsible for taking care of the house, cleaning and other chores, but such people could be found anywhere, and they were not urgently needed by the team at all.
You don't have to think about it, you know that the wolf warrior mercenary group is behind it.
Seeing that time was passing day by day, and the team didn't even have the basic personnel, An Xu couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
"Don't worry, it was like this at the beginning, didn't we come here like this before?" Shen Hui sat on the side, seeing that An Xu was not in a good mood, he comforted him.
Shen Hui's team has been staying here these days, although Xue Zhan didn't dare to come directly in broad daylight, it was very possible to send some people to make trouble.
If there is no defense force at all, An Xu does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to hold out until the city guards come.
Originally, An Xu was going to hire Shen Hui to help protect the safety of the station for the time being, but when Shen Hui heard about it, he directly led people over, and he didn't ask for any honorarium.
"I'm really sorry, Brother Shen Hui, I've caused you trouble!" An Xu said apologetically.
Shen Hui narrowed his eyes: "What are you talking about, he Xue Zhan has an enmity with you, doesn't he have a grudge against me?" Besides, we are all our own people, and it is appropriate to take care of each other, so why bother to see each other so much. ”
Lena walked into the room with a plate and placed the cup in front of the two of them: "It's cold, let's have a cup of hot tea!" ”
"Eh, thank you!" Shen Hui hurriedly thanked him, and then a pair of obscene eyes roamed back and forth on Lina and An Xu, revealing a meaningful look.
"You're busy, I'll go and bring some drinks to everyone outside." Lena was uncomfortable, a blush appeared on her face, and she fled with her skirt.
An Xu smiled bitterly: "Brother Shen Hui, Lena is thin-skinned, don't make such jokes." ”
Shen Hui picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, and said, "What joke?" I think the two of you are quite suitable, don't be too picky, you kid, such a gentle and beautiful woman who can run a house, but it's hard to find a lantern! ”
"Lena is like family to me, don't talk nonsense everywhere, lest people misunderstand."
Shen Hui lowered his voice and said: "Marrying home is a real family, brother, I am from here, I dare to pack a ticket This woman is absolutely interesting to you, listen to me, start early, there will be no such store after this village." ”
"Brother Shen Hui, when did you still work part-time as a matchmaker? I'm so busy right now that I don't have the time to think about it! An Xu shook his head.
Shen Hui persuaded: "I know you are thinking about the affairs of the clan, but these two things do not conflict at all!" Getting married as soon as possible can stabilize your heart, when I was as old as you, I would have been with you Sister Huihui a long time ago-"
"What's wrong with me?" Jiang Hui suddenly appeared at the door and walked in with An Xin in hand.
"Ahem, it's nothing, let's talk and play." Shen Hui hurriedly took a sip of tea, hiding the embarrassment on his face, his wife didn't like him to talk about the original things everywhere.
"Brother, Uncle Shen Hui!" An Xin shouted as soon as she entered the door.
"Poof-" Shen Hui was choked and coughed for a while before he eased up: "Little An Xin, your name is Brother An Xu, also called Sister Jiang Hui, why did you become an uncle when you came to me?" Do I look that old? ”
An Xin made a grimace, she would not give in easily, Sister Jiang Hui is so young and beautiful, of course she has to call her sister. As for Shen Hui, he looks a little cold.
"What are you talking about with the kids?" Jiang Hui glanced at him, and then said in surprise to An Xu: "Xiao Xu, Xin'er is really talented in healing, I just looked at it, her treatment foundation is very solid, and when her body grows taller, she can easily reach the one-star level by raising the therapist's star energy." ”
"Really?" An Xu was also slightly surprised, she didn't pay too much attention to An Xin's studies during this time, and she didn't know that this girl was already so powerful?
"Yes, the teachers are praising me!" An Xin jumped in front of An Xu, raised her chin and said proudly, with an expression of 'brother, praise me'.
Jiang Hui smiled: "You two brothers and sisters are freaks, when I was more than ten years old, I didn't know anything, you are already an excellent fighter, and An Xin will definitely become an excellent healer." ”
An Xu touched An Xu's head dotingly, and said, "I don't have any other requirements for this girl, as long as she can grow up safely and live happily, I will be satisfied." ”
"Brother, you hate it, I'm going to be very powerful in the future!" An Xin rubbed into An Xu's arms and coquettishly one by one.
At this time, suddenly there was a sound of conversation outside the house.
One of Shen Hui's team members leaned into half of his body and said, "Mr. An Xu, someone has come to apply for a job to join the team. ”
An Xin's heart perked, after waiting for so long, someone finally came, he hurriedly greeted him, and when he saw the people standing in the courtyard, he was stunned for a moment.
"Lin Qingqing?"
An Xu hadn't seen Lin Qingqing for a long time, and she hadn't been to the academy since the last incident was over, and it seemed that she was settling the aftermath for the dead people in the village.
Now at first glance, she is a lot haggard, dressed in white plain clothes, standing alone in the cold wind of early winter, looking pitiful and distressing.
"Why are you here? Come inside. An Xu hurriedly stepped forward and brought Lin Qingqing into the house.
Lin Qingqing's eyes were red, obviously she had not shed tears during this time, she barely squeezed out a smile, and then suddenly bowed deeply to An Xu.
"Senior An Xu, I've been busy all this time, and I haven't had time to thank you! Thank you, for my family, and for the rest of the village, I wouldn't know how to face them without your help, really, really thank you......"
"Don't do this, get up!" An Xu hurriedly helped Lin Qingqing up, he felt that he couldn't stand it.
Lin Qingqing wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and said, "I'm a stupid person and don't know how to speak!" Anyway, I just want to express my gratitude to you, I've heard that the murderer is a very powerful person, and with my own ability, I can't take revenge. ”
An Xu comforted: "The festival mourns and changes, do you have any plans for the future?" If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know. ”
Lin Qingqing doesn't even have a home now, he must be very helpless when he thinks about it, An Xu feels that he is also responsible, and he can't leave Lin Qingqing alone.
"This time, unless I thank my seniors, there is another thing!" Lin Qingqing said, bending down again: "Please senior, let me join your team." ”
"No way!" An Xu immediately refused, isn't this nonsense? Lin Qingqing is a student of the Demon Martial Arts Academy, just when he is growing up, and the mercenaries are not joking, in case Lin Qingqing encounters any danger, how can An Xu be happy in his heart?
"Senior, just accept me! I know that my strength is limited and I can't meet your requirements, but I will definitely work hard and will not drag you back, senior, you are a powerful person, I want to follow my seniors and make myself stronger. Lin Qingqing pleaded.
An Xu sighed and said: "Why do you bother, studying in school is much better than being a mercenary, every day in the wind and rain, you will encounter danger at any time, you don't need to suffer these crimes." ”
Lin Qingqing bit her lip and said in a low voice: "I have been in school for several years, and I have not made any progress, in fact, I can't pass the assessment this time, and I will definitely be withdrawn." I don't think I'm fit for this way, maybe I can only hone myself by fighting non-stop. ”
An Xu closed his eyes, he was also hesitating in his heart, although Lin Qingqing was only a one-star warrior, but she was born in the Demon Martial Arts Academy, she was definitely stronger than those mercenaries in the wild way, and she didn't have to worry about her strength at all.
But he really couldn't bear to let such a poor girl work hard with him.
"Senior, I can only earn my own money now, and I won't be a mercenary! Please, I promise to be obedient and will not embarrass you. ”
Lin Qingqing pleaded, she admired An Xu very much in her heart, and the two were familiar with each other, it was much better to follow An Xu than to join other mercenary teams.
These words reminded An Xu that Lin Qingqing is now alone and has no source of livelihood, isn't it very similar to herself? There are too many dark sides in the mercenary circle, and if a young girl like her is allowed to go alone, I am afraid that she will suffer a lot.
It's better to let her follow her, so that I can take care of her.
Thinking of this, An Xu finally opened his eyes and said seriously: "Joining the team, the future days will be very difficult, have you thought about it clearly?" ”
Lin Qingqing nodded hurriedly and said, "I am also a child of a poor family, and I am not afraid of hardship!" ”
"Alright then, welcome to the Hope Mercenary Clan!" An Xu stretched out his hand, shook it with Lin Qingqing, and then said: "But don't be in a hurry to give up the school business, I'll help you cushion it first if the tuition fee is not enough, there are many things there that mercenaries can't learn." ”
An Xu still remembers the embarrassment of wanting to learn the skills of a warrior but not knowing where to start.
"Well, I'll listen to the senior!" After going through so many things, Lin Qingqing has blind trust in An Xu.
An Xu touched his nose, this is a coincidence, a team now only has two shield warriors, and the rest of the professions are none, and it can make people laugh when they say it.
Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard someone shouting overhead, An Xu felt strange, how could someone be on the roof of his house? As soon as he stepped out of the house, he saw a large spherical shadow in the courtyard, slowly moving.
