The town's street markets are bustling with people.

Chu Jiu looked at Chao Duxue's face curiously, and finally couldn't help it, "Chao Daxia, your face ......" changed to the appearance of another person, Chu Jiu suddenly remembered that her mother had told her about the disguise technique on the rivers and lakes, probably that's it.

Twilight Xue stopped and sealed Chu Jiu's lips with her right index finger, "You can't make a noise, you know?" ”

Chu Jiu's eyes flashed with water, and he nodded, his face flushed.

After receiving Chu Jiu's response, Chao Duxue calmly put away his right hand, but what Chu Jiu didn't know was that the residual warmth on his fingers actually made his heart tremble slightly.

In order to break this awkward and ambiguous atmosphere, Chao Duxue changed the topic, "What kind of martial arts do you know?" ”

"Martial arts?" Zhao Chujiu remembered that he knew how to do kung fu, but he was only half-baked, and the only thing he was good at was erhu.

Twilight looked at her tight eyebrows, and she already knew a thing or two in her heart.

Chu Jiu picked up a strand of hair on his chest, his fingers kept spinning the hair, his mind was still immersed in this question, and he walked away unconsciously.

Suddenly, a man came in a hurry and collided head-on with Chu Jiu, he said sorry and walked away quickly.

Then, Twilight passed by the man who came from the front, and took the money bag that the thief had just stolen from Chu Jiu. He was just about to open his mouth to call the ninth day of the first month, but suddenly he had an idea, so he hid the money bag in his arms.

Joy Inn.

"Shopkeeper, come to a room." Twilight handed the treasurer the silver and commanded.

"Shopkeeper, I want a guest room too!" Chu Jiu touched her waist and was surprised to find that the money bag was gone, she looked at the shopkeeper embarrassedly, rummaging through the baggage in a panic, trying to find her money bag, but in the end she found nothing.

Chu Jiu looked towards Twilight Snow and cast a look for help.

"Miss Zhao, do you need help?"

Chu Jiu nodded violently, "Chao Daxia, can you lend me some silver, I can't find my money bag." ”

Chao Duxue pretended to hesitate for a moment, and reluctantly handed the first nine or five taels of silver, "Miss Zhao, these ten taels of silver will be lent to you first, this is my hard-earned silver......"

Chu Jiu took the silver two, his eyes showed gratitude, and he swore an oath, "Don't worry, Chao Daxia, I will definitely pay you back when I earn money!" ”

As everyone knows, when she turned around to pay the silver taels to the shopkeeper, the morning twilight behind her was snickering.

When she found her room, she immediately closed the door on the ninth day of the first month, she rudely unwrapped her baggage, searched carefully, but still couldn't find her money bag, she sat down and thought about it for a long time and still couldn't remember where the money bag was lost. Suddenly, a feeling of wanting to cry without tears surged into Chu Jiu's heart. Unexpectedly, when I got off the mountain, I disappeared from the money bag next to me, and now I still owe the hero two silver taels.

Chu Jiu threw herself on the bed, rolling around, and finally looked up at the top of the bed, thinking about what she should do next.

Ten taels, ten taels! How do I earn it back? Zhao Chujiu held his head, distressed.

The next day, I went out early on the ninth day of junior high school, bought a hot steamed bun at a roadside steamed bun shop and started looking for a job.

"Boss, do you need a buddy here?" 、

Every time Chu Jiu walked through a store, he had the cheekiness to ask the owner of the store, but he kept hitting a wall.

Suddenly, she walked to the door of a rice shop, and a hunchbacked old man shouted: "People who urgently need to unload rice bags from the car and move them to the store will be paid two cents a bag, two cents a bag!" ”

Chu Jiu's eyes lit up when he heard it, "Boss, can you see if I can do it?" She walked over to the old man.

The old man stroked his beard and shook his head, "You can't do it, little girl, I see that your little arm can't lift half a bag of rice." ”

Chu Jiu was a little unconvinced, she rolled up her sleeves and walked to the front of the rice truck, she wanted to drag the rice bag in front of her, but it was really too heavy, and it was a bit difficult to drag it over, let alone carry it to the store on her shoulders. She sighed, she didn't expect it to be so difficult to earn two pennies!

By noon, I still couldn't find any work on the ninth day of the new year.

She sat under one roof and watched the passers-by come and go.

"Squeak-" The door of the house behind her was opened, and an eldest lady walked out but didn't want to trip over Chu Jiu who was sitting on the steps, "Eh-" The eldest lady stood up with her waist on her back, "What kind of thing without eyes!" ”

"Auntie, are you okay? I'm sorry! Chu Jiu immediately stood up and wanted to help the eldest mother, but was disgusted by the eldest mother.

The eldest lady ignored Chu Jiu, and then the maid who followed behind the eldest lady shouted: "Everyone, Zhangfu will be happy in three days, and now three temporary workers are needed, and the salary is five taels for three days!" ”

I don't know when, the front of the door was crowded with temporary workers, they pushed each other, and they actually squeezed the ninth junior high school out of the crowd.

"It's you!"

"Come here!"

"Come here, too!"

"Okay, let's disperse, we've recruited enough today!"

Chu Jiu looked at the crowd scattered around her, looked at the closed door, and she wanted to cry again without tears.

As she was desperate to leave, the door opened again.

A burly old man walked out, followed by two housekeepers with wooden sticks.

The old man nodded, and when the family next to him saw it, he said: "Miss Zhang is married far away, and she needs to recruit a few temporary workers who can do some kung fu to transport the dowry!" ”

Chu Jiu's eyes lit up, fists and feet, she would! God help me!

But before she was happy, a young man stepped forward to apply, and a family member picked up a wooden stick and waved it at the young man, the young man dodged and smiled proudly, and just when he was proud, the other family swept him off the plate with his foot and tripped him directly, and gave him two sticks in succession.

"Next!" The old man shouted directly, ignoring the guy who kept calling in failure.

Seeing this, Chu Jiu's heart swayed, feeling that his fist and foot kung fu was too scummy, and he unconsciously retreated step by step, wanting to leave.

"Why don't you go and try it?" Morning Dusk Xue didn't know when she stood behind Chu Jiu.

Chu Jiu was taken aback.

"I don't think I can do it, they're too good."

"How do you know you can't do it if you don't try, you know that the stupidest person in the world is the one who doesn't even want to try!"

When Chao Duxue said this, Chu Jiu was embarrassed not to try, she slowly stepped forward and said in a hesitant voice, "Can I apply?" ”

The old man at the head raised his eyes and looked at this little girl, and thought it was very interesting, just now it was all useless waste, it was very boring, and it was not bad to suddenly come to a little girl to entertain her. He still nodded, and motioned for the family next to him to prepare.

A family member saw that the little girl of Chu Jiu was still not soft, he took a wooden stick to hit Chu Jiu's head, and Chu Jiu turned around to avoid the attack, Jia Ding saw that he didn't hit, so he chased Chu Jiu relentlessly, until Chu Jiu fell in front of the crowd and had no way to retreat, when Jia Ding thought Chu Jiu was ready to surrender, he didn't expect Chu Jiu to get up and kick the wooden stick in his hand with his foot, without waiting for him to react, Chu Jiu kicked him in the abdomen again, in fact, Chu Jiu's strength was not heavy, but because Jia Ding did not stand firm and fell to the ground. When the family on the side saw that his brother was kicked down, he pushed Chu Jiu away.

Chu Jiu was pushed to the ground, a pain came from the palm, she raised her hand to look, but she didn't expect the palm to be scratched.

"Is there a mistake, actually bullying a little girl!"

"yes—"

The crowd of onlookers was indignant.

The man who pushed Chu Jiu to the ground ignored the complaints of the crowd, but wanted to wave the wooden stick in his hand, when suddenly two small stones hit his legs one after another, causing him to kneel down in pain.

"Okay—"

There was a lively applause all around.

The old man didn't expect the little girl to have two more moments, he thought about it for a while, and said to Chu Jiu: "Girl, I think you are okay, our young lady needs a maid who knows some kung fu by her side, and the casual work contract, are you interested?" ”

Chu Jiu didn't think much about it, and agreed with satisfaction.

She found Twilight Snow in the crowd and stepped forward excitedly, "I made it!" She remembered the man who suddenly knelt on the ground and the small stone on the ground just now, and lowered her head again and said thank you shyly.

Chao Duxue didn't say much, he looked at her bright smiling face, and his heart was warm.
