Chapter 2 Escape with your life, miss the opportunity

"Your house is broken enough, and the big hole in the roof has been around for a long time, right?"

The light words of the soldier captain fell on the ears of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, but they felt chills in their hearts, it was obviously the hot summer of July, but it was like being in ice and snow.

The two looked up at the roof, but found that the roof of the dilapidated house where they lived had somehow broken a hole-sized hole, and through the hole, they could directly see the stars and moon in the night sky.

When did this hole appear?

The two of them were suspicious in their hearts, because of course they knew the situation of their home well, and they clearly remembered that before they fell asleep, the roof was still fine, and there was no such hole.

"This hole..."

"This hole was broken a few days ago, and Xiaoling and I are also trying to repair the roof as soon as possible these days, so we will get up early and find work in the dark, otherwise it will be miserable when it rains!"

As soon as Xu Ziling wanted to say something, the sharp-eyed Kou Zhong saw that the captain of the soldiers was abnormal, and immediately replied.

"Well, Xiao Zhong is right, in order to make up for this hole, we have saved up money for many days, and we are almost enough."

It's easy to understand!

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong depended on each other, and as soon as they heard Kou Zhong's words, they knew what they meant, so they said very cooperatively.

They don't know why the soldiers of the city gate in front of them care about the big hole in the roof, but they also know the way of survival and know when to say what to say, which is the survival wisdom of the little people.

The captain of the soldier squad stared at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling tightly for a while, but he didn't see anything abnormal, so he was a little unsure whether what the two of them said was the truth.

In this abandoned manor, most of the buildings have fallen into disrepair, erosion by wind and rain, and decay and collapse under the gnawing of ants and insects, only a small stone house is lonely in a corner, and the pierced tile roof is sealed by wooden planks, which can barely be used as a habitat for Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

This is also the reason why the other two soldiers did not suspect the big hole in the roof, because in this dilapidated house, it is simply normal for there to be loopholes or something, and it is strange if it is really intact.

"Captain, I've searched it, but there's nothing!"

Soon the other two soldiers searched the house and returned to report.

To be honest, there was nothing left in this dilapidated house except for some dilapidated tables and chairs, which is why the two soldiers searched so quickly.

Could it be that I'm thinking too much?

Hearing the words of his subordinates, the soldier squad leader couldn't help but wonder if he was thinking too much. The treasure is virtuous, how can these two street gangsters get the treasure that day.

After shaking his head and laughing at himself, the soldier squad leader was about to take someone away, but the moment he turned around, he suddenly saw that one of the thugs in front of him seemed to be holding something in his hand, so he stopped again and said to Xu Ziling.

"What's that thing in your hand, show it to me!"

Xu Ziling heard the inquiry of the soldier squad leader, did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly handed the gossip mirror in his hand to the leading soldier in front of him.

The leading soldier, after the gossip mirror, glanced at it a little, and then casually threw it to Xu Ziling. Because the gossip mirror is too broken and too old, it can't be a treasure from heaven at all.

Of course, the main thing is, how can a strange treasure descended from the sky be a gossip mirror, isn't that funny.

A treasure from the sky, how can it be at the level of He's Bi!

"Whew!" "Whew!"

After the three soldiers left, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling glanced at each other, and exhaled at the same time, which frightened them just now.

They could clearly feel the killing intent of the leading soldier, as if they would definitely be killed if they didn't answer well, and that feeling really scared them.

"Hey, Xiaoling, where did you get this broken mirror?"

After sending away the three killing gods, Kou Zhong had to find a topic to talk about in order to eliminate the fear in his heart, after experiencing such a thing, no matter how big his heart was, he didn't have the slightest sleepiness.

"Pick it up!"

Seeing Kou Zhong's curiosity, Xu Ziling casually threw the gossip mirror in his hand, while he looked at the hole above his head and was worried, thinking about how to repair the hole in the roof.

"Hey, this broken mirror is still copper, I don't know if I can exchange it for a few coppers if I throw it at the dead grass."

Kou Zhong took the gossip mirror, put it in his hand and weighed it, and then said with a little surprise.

"It shouldn't be, such a broken thing, how can such a shrewd person accept it?"

When Xu Ziling heard Kou Zhong's words, he thought about answering for a while.

Of course, it is not really called dead grass, in fact, what his real name is, Xu Ziling doesn't know, only that guy is very shrewd and very mean, and often disposes of their stolen goods at a very low price, so they call it dead grass.

Even a single blade of grass can give you death, let alone a human being.

"How do you know if you don't try it, I'll try it tomorrow!"

"When we have saved enough money, we can abandon the darkness and join the rebels."

"Do you know that the most powerful person in the righteous army now is Peng Xiaocai, followed by Yang Gongqing, who once raided Yang Guang's army, as long as we can take refuge in Peng Xiaocai, we can get ahead and become a general!"

Kou Zhong did not give up after hearing this, and continued, defecting to the righteous army and becoming a general, but his dream, for this dream, he was frugal and kept saving money.

"Whatever you want!"

Xu Ziling didn't have the heart to think much about it, he was thinking about when the big hole in the roof appeared, whether he could find some tiles from the old garden to block it, otherwise when it rained, they would have no place to sleep.

As for asking a bricklayer to repair it, it was simply impossible, they had no money at all. Even if you have money, you won't use it for it.

Of course, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had a casual conversation, but they didn't know that they had annoyed a person, so they missed a great opportunity.

This person is Wang Xiaoguang, who is attached to the gossip mirror to ward off evil spirits, and he originally considered whether to be an old grandfather for the two protagonists of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and guide them to practice martial arts or something.

As a result, when they heard that the two of them were planning to sell his body, they immediately disliked it.

Everyone has their own bottom line and their own dignity, even Wang Xiaoguang, who has become a gossip mirror spirit, is no exception.

Although he also wants to be on the thigh of the protagonist, the protagonist of a low-level Xiaoqian world is not worthy of his deliberate flattery.

Originally, he planned to wait for the two of them to fall asleep, and then use illusion to pull them into the illusion to teach them to practice martial arts and cultivation, and be a grandfather with the protagonist plug-in.

But the casual conversation between the two made him change this idea, but instead gave birth to the intention of teaching, if the two really took his body for money, he would definitely leave without hesitation.

is still the same sentence, the protagonist of a low-level Xiaoqian world is not worth his lowering of his status at all.

"Xiao Zhong, when did you say that the big hole in our roof appeared, I always feel that it is not simple!"

"Who knows, let's go to bed early, and when I get up early tomorrow morning, I'll go to the dead grass and sell this broken mirror to see if I can exchange it for two coppers!"

When Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling fell asleep, the gossip mirror that was randomly thrown aside to ward off evil spirits emitted a faint golden halo, constantly absorbing the aura of the surrounding heaven and earth to nourish itself.

It's a pity that no one saw this scene, otherwise they would know what the strange treasure that caused the turmoil in the entire Yangzhou City was.
