Chapter 30: I Myself Are a Flower
In order to make a living, they went around looking for work.
They have a good relationship, they want to work together and live together, but there is no place where all four of them will be recruited, and they only thought of today's method after running into walls everywhere, but they didn't expect it to fail.
Isn't that easy?
Zhongli Youyou said, "The four of you can work separately and live together at night." ”
yes, how did they not think of it! We can't work together, but at least we can live together.
Duojian said: "We are fortunate to be able to meet Miss Zhong in our three lives, and in the future, as long as the girl is in trouble and needs our help, just say it, we will go to the soup and fire, and it is incumbent on us." ”
The other three also gave up their positions.
Zhongli smiled faintly: "Then I'm welcome." A thief stole 100,000 taels from us, if you have time, help us find it. He was small, thin, with a round baby face, about eighteen or nineteen years old. ”
Qin Jue's eyes were shining, and he was immediately impressed by Zhongli's faint eyes.
I didn't expect her to be so smart, using a child to trap a wolf, exchanging forty taels for one hundred thousand taels, there is no better deal.
These four people have their own unique skills, and finding a thief is not easy to catch?
He interjected, "If you're not busy, you can help us find the thief first." ”
The four of them said in unison: "Not busy." We'll help you find it tomorrow. ”

Although Zhongli Youyou and Qin Jue only had five taels of silver left in their bodies, they were not as depressed as before.
Zhongli Youyou felt that the hardboard bed that he had slept on for a few days was especially soft tonight, and Qin Jue was willing to sleep on the ground.
He lazily hugged the quilt and faced the direction of the bed, and said to Zhongli Youyou: "Gophers are rare talents, I believe that our money will be recovered in three days." ”
Zhongli Youyou is also full of expectations.
She casually propped her head up with one hand and said with a smile, "I believe in their ability, and we will be able to live in another place in less than three days." ”
Her eyes shone like bright stars, her smile bloomed like spring flowers, and her pale face was extraordinarily soft in the faint light, even if she just tied her hair casually, you could see how charming she was at the moment.
Qin Jue swallowed back what he was about to say, and moved his gaze to the window a little uncomfortably.
This man is really.
Although he is a righteous gentleman, a righteous gentleman will be tempted by this, and he will also have impulsive times.
Fortunately, she met him, and she wouldn't have become a wolf's mouth if she were someone else!
Zhongli babbled for a long time and didn't see him respond, staring at his back and asking, "Wang Yu?" Did you sleep? ”
The faint moonlight cast through the window, and his slender body was half-dark, and although only half of his face could be seen, his handsomeness and extraordinaryness could be seen from the well-defined outline.
Although this person is two points worse than Duojian, he is also a beautiful and handsome boy, and he will definitely be a big star with extraordinary temperament in modern times.
If it was in modern times, she would have to chase him.
Then I heard him say, "I didn't sleep, I was thinking about things." I really didn't expect you to think of the trick of asking the gophers to help find the thief, it's still a bit of a brain. ”
Zhongli Youyou is not modest and triumphant: "I'm not a little brainy, I'm very smart. I can't bear the child to trap the wolf, I am an investment, do you understand investment. Ten times the pay, ten times the gain, no one without courage and no brains can do it. ”
She paused for a moment to think about it, and then emphasized: "But I also sincerely like to be friends with moral people like gophers, not just to take advantage of them. ”
She heard the painful expression of forty taels at that time, Qin Jue still remembered it vividly, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed that she regretted it so that she pushed the boat and asked the gopher to help find the thief, and she now said as if she had planned to do so from the beginning.
He turned his head in disbelief, met her smiling face again, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze.
Pretend to be casual and say, "Whatever you say is what you say." ”

Now, Zhongli Youyou and Qin Jue's daily life is to find thieves.
With the help of gophers, they can go out to find thieves with light steps, and even in the hot weather, they feel extremely cool.
"Childe, buy a flower."
An old lady carried a basket of delicate lilies and took Zhongli Youyou's hand and asked her to buy flowers.
Zhongli glanced at her flower basket, withdrew his hand, and smiled, "I am a flower myself, so I don't need to buy it." ”
The old lady looked at her like a monster, and then left.
After walking for a while, Qin Jue's hand was grabbed from behind again, thinking that he was looking for something again, he retracted his hand and said, "I have no money, I can't afford it." ”
After he finished speaking, he turned around, but was surprised to see a man kneeling on the ground.
They cried out, "Childe, please save us." ”
Zhongli was stunned and asked him, "Do you know them?" ”
Qin Jue looked at the man on the ground and nodded, and said thoughtfully: "It seems to know." They were the ones who were going to snatch our last silver taels away at the docks the other day. ”
Zhongli was stunned.
Which one are they singing?
The man on the ground kowtowed and cried again: "Two sons, please help us, we are really desperate." We had no choice but to rob you of your money that day, so please don't blame us for having a lot of them. ”
"Two sons, save us."
At this time, an old man came out from behind, and the beard on his chin was very distinctive, so Zhongli Youyou recognized him as the old man in Wangjia Village.
She asked, "Uncle, why are you here?" ”
The old man looked around and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's find a place to sit down first, and I will tell you the matter slowly." ”
*
In front of a dilapidated old temple with no incense, Zhongli Youyou and Qin Jue found a clean stone brick to sit down, the old man sat on the ground diagonally opposite them, and the group of men sat in the open space around them.
The old man shook the broken fan while telling Zhongli Youyou and Qin Jue the intention of these men.
These men came from a hundred miles away from the township of 20 miles, originally lived the life of the gods, some time ago they lived on the mountain suddenly came a group of people, occupy the mountain as the king, and then go down the mountain to do evil, rape/adultery/plunder, see the beautiful girl on the mountain, rush up the mountain, in broad daylight to the village to rob cattle, pigs, chickens, rob everything that can be grabbed, some people resist and are killed by their knives.
Now that there is nothing to rob in the township, the bandits come to catch children or young people, and let their relatives ransom them with money, one thousand taels per person.
The valuable things of the villagers have been robbed by the bandits, where is there so much money to ransom. The thieves let them pay as much as they wanted, first save the lives of the kidnappers, and then release them when they have paid enough ransom.
The villagers can only make up a small profit when they smash pots and sell iron, and they can only go out desperately to find work, and some really have no money and can only form a team to rob it.
