In the copper ring as dark as a black hole, only this inn turned on the lights, and although it was the middle of the morning, the hall was still as bright as day.

At this time, it should be the quietest time of the night. However, the arrival of an uninvited guest completely broke the silence of the copper ring, and his appearance was like someone throwing a tiny stone into the long river of fate, which at first seemed inconspicuous, but in fact changed the flow of fate slightly.

"Boom! Boom! ”

"Wow! Hiss! ”

"Water...... Water ......"

Outside the inn, the madmen were red-eyed one by one, and they still rushed forward desperately. Soon, however, they found that the door was locked, and they retreated back into the street, reversing course and slamming into the windows on either side of the hall.

The madmen, perhaps because they had been hungry for too long, had lost their minds and forgotten an important thing, and that was to resist the onslaught, and they worked harder on the window than on the door.

In front of each window, ten layers of alloy fences are installed, and each layer of fences is electrified, and the current gradually decreases from the inside to the outside.

Suddenly, a purple light flashed in front of the window, and only a loud "pop" sound was heard, and several "brave current" madmen were like mosquitoes that crashed into the power grid, and in an instant they were blackened by electricity, their hair curled into a bird's nest, and a wisp of gray smoke arose on the top, exuding a thick smell of burning. The rest of the madmen were so frightened that they retreated several meters, and no one dared to come near, and when they saw their fallen companions, they gradually embraced each other, and howled in pain and sorrow.

However, a few wisps of barbecued meat wafted into the madman's pile, and with a slight sniff of their noses, they just had a little human eyes, and suddenly became fierce and cold-blooded.

In the inn, the atmosphere was once freezing cold, and even the air seemed to have cold thorns, which could scrape a deep hole in people's skin. Ouyang Yunyi and this uninvited guest did not speak, one of them had inexplicable complexity in his eyes, there was anger, hatred, doubt and distress, while the other's eyes were much simpler, only a trace of embarrassment and horror.

I don't know how long it took, the crystal chandelier in the center of the hall suddenly shook from side to side twice, and the two of them seemed to untie their bodies and took a big breath at the same time.

Ouyang Yunyi frowned, picked up the Tietong beside him with one hand, stood up in the blink of an eye, and shouted, "You! Qian Tai Shao! You're too embarrassed to come to me! ”

Unexpectedly, the man named "Qian Taishao" fell to his knees, folded his palms, raised them to the center of his eyebrows, and pleaded with a painful expression: "Miss Ouyang! I'm sorry...... It's all my fault! It's all my fault! Please! Don't drive me back! I really don't want to...... I don't want to see those crazy people anymore! You can make up for it as much as you want! What do you want, just say it...... Just don't open the door......"

Listening to the name, some people may mistakenly think that Qian Taishao is a native of this copper ring, just because "Tai Shao" is easy to read and become "too little", just ask, which rich and noble family will have such an unlucky name as "too little money", and only the people at the bottom who live in the copper ring will have no energy to care.

But in many cases, the truth is not as simple as it seems.

Qian Taishao's name is not unknown in Greedy Town, and he is not a lowly copper ring person, let alone a low-level person who has a hard life, but a righteous child

The gold medal person of the Eight Classics has stayed in the superior central area since the day he was born, enjoying a high-quality life that many people can't imagine at all. After completing his studies, he naturally took over the family business and became the head of the Commodity Management Council of Greedy Town, and anyone who was engaged in commodity trading had definitely heard of the word "Qian Taishao", in other words, his name was known to everyone in Greedy Town.

However, unlike Nangong Siyuan's fame, the reason why the townspeople remember the name "Qian Taishao" is not because of how many good deeds he has done and how many good policies he has promulgated to benefit the people, but because of his personality of treating money as his life.

In Qian Taishao's eyes, it seems that there will always be only "taking", not "giving".

Within the Commodity Management Committee, Qian Taishao blindly squeezed managers, not only giving low commissions, but also trying to squeeze out every drop of their hard work and force them to exhaust their labor. But just after their ability to create profits decreased, he kicked them all away, and replaced them with a new batch of managers. Again and again, the managers hated him immensely, but they were all deceived by the glamorous performance of the commodity management committee, and after signing the "selling agreement", even if they found out the truth early, it was too late to complain at that time.

Outside of the Commodity Management Council, Qian Taishao spread a huge number of positive stories about how hard he worked, how righteous, and how kind he was through various news channels in Greedy Town, packaging himself as a positive character who radiated light, and won the support and trust of countless townspeople. Subsequently, he continued to absorb the money of those townspeople who believed in him under the pretext of aiding the construction of the eastern district of Greedy Town, in the name of preparing for the construction of infrastructure, and then with the slogan that the townspeople with copper and silver rings embarked on the road to prosperity.

But in the end, the townspeople donated all their hard-earned money, only to find that the poverty in the eastern part of the greedy town had not improved at all, there was not much new infrastructure in the town, and life in the copper and silver rings was still difficult. At this time, the townspeople suddenly realized that their money was not transferred to the construction of the town, but all flowed into Qian Taishao's purse, and what he said would not be fulfilled at all, and what was even more terrible was that there was only the central area with the richer, and the copper and silver rings would only become poorer and poorer.

The townspeople were furious for a while, and they just wanted to rush into the central area to capture Qian Taishao alive and force him to spit out all the money. But unfortunately, by the time they knew the truth, Greed Town had already fallen into a desperate situation, and even if they were resentful, they couldn't care about a single Qian Taishao.

Human greed is the most terrible thing in the world, and if it is not controlled, no matter how solid a civilization is, it will not escape destruction.

Today, Qian Taishao's signboard is smashed to pieces and is hated and spurned, but the "bill leak" was only a matter of two months ago, so before that, many townspeople were deceived into his trap and fell into a desperate situation.

Ah Fu and Ouyang Yunyi were among them, and this inn that was packaged as "must not be missed" was bought through Qian Taishao's introduction.

At this time, Ouyang Yunyi remembered the difficulties she had experienced with Ah Fu in the past three months, and suddenly, her stomach was full of resentment, only to see her swing the iron rod angrily, changing her gentle appearance in the past, and hysterically scolding: "How can this be true! If it weren't for you, everyone would have had more money in their hands, and they would have been able to buy more drinking water and stay up for a long time! want

If it weren't for you, Ah Fu and I wouldn't be having a hard time now! Do you want me to take you in? I'll take anyone in, and I'll not keep you! If the tiger is not powerful, you should be a sick cat! Get out of here! ”

Qian Taishao was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly got up and retreated step by step, until his back was against the wall, and he found that there was no way to retreat, so he stretched out his hands, grabbed the iron rod, and shouted: "Miss Ouyang!" Don't be impulsive! I...... I really knew I was wrong! I didn't mean to lie to you either! I just didn't expect that once the water in the town was cut off, it would be cut off for so long! As he spoke, he knelt on his knees again and pleaded humbly, "Miss Ouyang! I know you're a good person! So when I was driven to the brass ring, the first thing I thought of coming to you was! I've even brought what I have to compensate you with! I just want you to give me a place to hide......"

"Rush to the brass ring? Hide? Ouyang Yunyi was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled expression.

Qian Taishao saw that Ouyang Yunyi was discouraged, and hurriedly moved the iron rod gently, and then quickly ran to the door of the inn, opened the two snow-white packages one by one, and poured out all the things inside.

I only heard a "rustling" sound, and in the blink of an eye, there was an extra mountain of food on the ground, and at the foot of the mountain, there were more than twenty bottles of drinking water. Unlike the food that the madmen scavenged, there were all sorts of canned food, snacks like ready-to-eat sausages and potato chips, fresh fruits and vegetables, and even frozen meat......

No wonder the madmen rushed desperately from afar, because they smelled the food and water.

Ouyang Yunyi was stunned for a moment, looking at the mountain of food, and was stunned for a while. She had probably not seen so many kinds of food in a long time, and the inn stock only had some hard-to-eat dry food, some of which had been taken away by the previous owner before the handover, and some of which had been distributed to those who came to ask for help shortly after the water was cut off, and the few remaining parts were gone.

"How? It's all my compensation for you! Qian Taishao choked nervously.

Ouyang Yunyi frowned, blinked slowly, and gradually showed an incredible look on his face, and asked, "You...... Where did you get so much food? ”

Qian Taishao smiled awkwardly and sighed, "I brought these foods all the way from the central area." I don't know, is it enough? ”

"Enough for what?" Ouyang Yunyi said coldly, "Do you think that I will forgive you for the sake of these foods?" You think beautifully! Ah Fu and I will never forgive you, and so will many of the townspeople! I won't take you in! Get out of here! ”

"Miss Ouyang! Please......" Suddenly, Qian Taishao seemed to think of something, and his eyes were as bright as turning on the light, and he exclaimed urgently, "Miss Ouyang, then I can always stay in the hotel!" ”

Ouyang Yunyi snorted in disgust, put his hands on his waist, and shook his head: "Qian Taishao!" Do you understand it or not? I won't take you in, but you can't stay within the inn! Still want to stay in a hotel? Our inn can't afford to accommodate guests like you! Right now, leave me immediately! ”

Qian Taishao's heart was cold, and he knelt on the ground again for a while, hung his head in despair, and wailed with tears in his eyes: "Miss Ouyang, I ...... I don't have anywhere else to go...... You hate me, I understand...... But it was all a ...... A conspiracy...... I really regret it......"
