Seeing that he was about to enter a densely populated place, Shangguan Qi stopped the mecha and said, "Let's walk over, I'm afraid that I will be killed by the army as a robber if we drive this thing." ”

Liu Yi nodded and said, "That's right, but you have to destroy this thing first, so as not to be used by robbers again." ”

After saying that, Liu Yi burned out the console of the mecha with a laser gun, and the huge machine temporarily became a pile of scrap metal, which could not be used even if it fell into the hands of the robbers.

The two of them stepped out of the mecha and stepped into the slums south of the city.

Although Liu Yi grew up in Yaqiu, he had never been to the slums in the south of the city, and his parents always warned him when he was a child that the security in the slums was very chaotic and he should never come here to play.

Liu Yi was shocked by the scene of the slum, where the houses were very dense, one next to the other, and they were staggering, and it seemed that they could collapse at any time.

The streets in this area are quite narrow, in some places barely enough for one car to pass, and the mountains of garbage on both sides of the road make the roads impassable.

Seeing such a scene, Liu Yi secretly said in his heart: "It's really unimaginable, in an era of such advanced science and technology, there is still such a slum, I'm afraid that the officials of Yaqiu never come here......"

Fortunately, however, there was no sign of fighting in the ghetto, the area was poor and chaotic, and neither the army nor the robbers showed the slightest interest in it.

"I have a friend here who runs a tavern, so let's go to his place and rest first." Shangguanqi walked through the labyrinthine alleys with willow wings with ease.

Liu Yi has nowhere to go now, so he doesn't object, just follow Shangguanqi honestly.

Soon Shangguanqi took Liu Yi to a tavern hidden deep in the alley, and when he entered, he saw that two or three tables of customers were talking quietly in the dim light, and a thin middle-aged man behind the bar was looking down to wipe his wine glass.

"Old Wu, I'm here." Kamikanzaki greeted the tavern owner very familiarly.

The tavern owner looked up and saw that it was Shangguanzaki, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face, and while beckoning the two to sit down, he poured them a glass of soda.

"Why are you here? Aren't you afraid of danger? The tavernkeeper asked worriedly.

"Don't mention it! The place where I live has been blown up, and it's really angry to mention it! Shangguan said angrily.

"And what do you do now?"

"Haven't I had nowhere to go? That's why I'm here to join you......" Shangguanzaki said.

While Shangguanqi was chatting with the tavern owner, Liu Yi turned on his portable computer and began to look up flight information. I thought I could find a job when I returned to my hometown, but I didn't expect the situation here to be so chaotic, and Liu Yi now just wanted to leave Yaqiu quickly and try his luck somewhere else.

However, after this check, Liu Yi realized that the next interstellar mail ship would have to wait at least a month later, which meant that he had to stay here for more than a month before leaving.

Liu Yi was so angry that he wanted to knock on the table, he didn't want to stay in Yaqiu's place for another minute, not to mention that he had to stay for another month, not to mention that he didn't even have a place to stay now.

However, this is the case, the planet of Yaqiu is too remote, unlike other planets, there are a large number of ships coming and going every day, and if there are no mines here, I am afraid that there will be no ships willing to come and go.

If you want to stay here for a month, it means that Liu Yi must stay, and the cost of this month is a lot of money.

Liu Yi checked his account, if he lived here for a month, the rest of the money would not be enough to buy a ticket, you must know that the ticket price of the interstellar mail ship is not cheap, even the last class requires a lot of money, who made Yaqiu so remote.

"I ......" Liu Yi was so angry that he raised his fist several times, but when he thought that this was someone else's shop, he had to put his fist down again.

Shangguan Qi and the tavern owner on the side also noticed that Liu Yi's face was very ugly, so they asked, "Liu Yi, what's wrong with you?" Can I help you? ”

According to Liu Yi's character, he didn't want to tell others about his troubles, but now he is full of dissatisfaction, and if he doesn't say it, he is afraid that he will suffocate him.

"Alas......" Liu Yi sighed and told Shangguanqi and the tavern owner about his current difficulties.

The tavern owner touched his forehead and said, "I see, if you don't dislike it, you can live here with me temporarily, and I won't take your money, as long as you usually help me do some work, it's just a month anyway." ”

Liu Yi didn't expect the tavern owner to be so righteous, and let himself live without even asking his own details, he had never met such a person before.

Liu Yi, who was too excited, was a little speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to thank him, but Shangguan Qi on the side was very happy, patted Liu Yi's back and said, "Okay!" You just live first, Lao Wu's method is very good! ”

"Multi-...... Thanks a lot...... Boss Wu ...... I really don't know how to thank you......" Liu Yi stammered a little as he spoke excitedly.

"No, we are all friends and help each other. It's too much of a surprise if you say thank you or something. Boss Wu said with a smile.

"I didn't expect that there is such a righteous person as Boss Wu now, it's really admirable!" Liu Yi sighed sincerely.

"Don't say that, I'm embarrassed to say that. Although the people in our area are not rich, they still have righteousness, otherwise don't mix in this area. Boss Wu said heartily.

Shangguan Qi raised his thumb and said to Boss Wu: "Old Wu, I like you for this, enough friends!" Here, now invite me to a drink! ”

"You're thick-skinned enough!"

The three of them laughed as they spoke.

From this day on, Liu Yi stayed in the tavern to help, helping Boss Wu with some chores during the day, and living in the attic of the tavern after closing at night.

Although Shangguanqi also lived in the store temporarily, he went out to look for work during the day and did not return to the store until the evening.

After a few days of understanding, Liu Yi gradually figured out the situation of Boss Wu, it turned out that he was also a worker working in a factory, and later his wife thought that he made too little money, and the situation in Yaqiu was chaotic, so he left him with his children.

Boss Wu, who was devastated, quit his job in the factory, borrowed money to open this tavern, and worked alone every day, so he has been living in Yaqiu.

Liu Yi asked Boss Wu if he wanted to go to his ex-wife and children, but Boss Wu shook his head and said, "I used to think about it, but now I don't want to." In my case, it's better not to bother them. ”

When Lao Wu said this, his face was full of loneliness, which made Liu Yi not very embarrassed.

At noon that day, Liu Yi was cleaning the tavern with Lao Wu, but Shangguan Qi came back in a hurry.

"How did you get back? Didn't you come back in the evening? After a few days of getting along, Liu Yi and Shangqi are also familiar with each other, and there is no need to be too polite to speak.

Shangguan Qi panted and poured himself a glass of water on the counter, drank it all with his neck tilted, wiped his mouth and said, "Good news for you, I found a profitable deal!" ”

"What kind of deal?" Liu Yi and Lao Wu both stopped what they were doing and asked curiously.

"Today I saw a repair shop ready to be transferred, and I plan to get it over and run it myself." Shangguanqi said with excitement in his eyes.

"Have you done this before? What if the business is not doing well? Lao Wu asked with some suspicion.

"No problem, I asked, there are a lot of experienced workers in that repair shop, although the equipment is old, but it can basically be used, as long as it is turned around, it can continue to operate." Shangguan Qi said confidently.

"Since the business is so good, why should the other party transfer? Be careful not to be fooled. Lao Wu reminded seriously.

Shangguanqi nodded and said: "I have also checked what you said, the operation of this repair shop is very normal, and the reason why the boss wants to transfer it is that he can't stand the chaos here and plans to move to another place." ”

"Do you have the money to pay for the transfer?" Liu Yi also asked.

"I still have some money in hand, and another loan should be barely enough." Shangguanqi looked at the ceiling with his eyes and said while pondering.

"Then let's try it." After Liu Yi finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to sweep the floor.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Qi came over and grabbed Liu Yi, and said in a consultative tone: "But there is something I need to ask you, you must help me with this." ”

Liu Yi saw that he was very sincere, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you can say it, as long as I can do it." ”

Shangguan Qi said with a serious face: "I want to ask you to help me borrow this money, my ...... Some are not very convenient. ”

"Huh?" Liu Yi was taken aback, but he didn't expect that the loan Shangguanqi said was actually in his own name.

"You must help me in this matter no matter what, I and Lao Wu's credit is a little problematic, only you can get a loan, please be sure to help me with this!" Shangguan Qi said with a pleading face.

Liu Yi said with some embarrassment: "But I will leave Yaqiu in a month, if I take out a loan......

"Don't worry about this, when the repair shop is up and running, I will return the money to you month by month, you won't believe me, right?"

Liu Yi thought for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you with a loan." ”

In fact, Liu Yi didn't want to get involved in this matter in his heart, after all, he was about to leave, but after getting along with Shangguanqi in the past few days, he felt that Shangguanqi's personality was worth believing.

Besides, Lao Wu agreed to take him in without even asking his name, Liu Yi believed that Shangguan Qi and Lao Wu were both trustworthy people and would definitely not cheat themselves.

Seeing that Liu Yi agreed, Shangguan Qi slapped happily and said, "I knew that you would definitely help me, and I would not be wrong in looking at people!" ”

Lao Wu was also very happy to see that Liu Yi was willing to help Shangguan Qi, took out the wine bottle and three wine glasses, and said with a smile: "It's okay now, you can be regarded as finding a serious job." Let's have a drink! ”
