Chapter XXIX
"Bug, you're back." The door was opened by a woman of forty or fifty years of age, with a pale face, coughing as she spoke, apparently waiting for a sickness.
It is no wonder that the weather in the last days is changeable, the temperature varies greatly, and some people with poor systems are prone to illness, especially when there is nothing to eat.
"Yes, auntie, but I was unlucky today and didn't find food." Worm San touched his head and said with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, I'm used to being hungry for a few meals, come in." The woman smiled and beckoned Worm Three to enter the door.
"Oh, by the way, auntie, today I found two adults who want to rent a house, isn't there no one on the second floor of your house, so I brought them." With that, he stepped out of the way so that the woman could see the night.
Hearing the words of worm three, the woman's face was happy, someone rented means that there is income, and if there is income, it means that she will not be hungry, and suddenly she walked over quickly and said respectfully: "Please come in!" ”
"Brother, let's go in and have a look." Xin'er next to her tugged at the corner of Midnight's clothes and said.
Midnight nodded, and followed the woman inside, and the worm three followed them in.
"That, although the first floor is a little dirty, but the second floor is very clean, I clean it often, there are clean bedding, and there are oil lamps, as long as one black coin a month, but the food money has to be counted separately." The woman was a little apprehensive, although it was not very expensive to only need one black coin a month, but the environment here was very poor, and the food money had to be calculated separately, she was a little worried that the two would not agree.
Indeed, Midnight frowned after hearing this woman's words, you must know that he had been here in his previous life, although it was relatively late, but even then, one black coin a month could only be regarded as ordinary, although because of the difference in time, the purchase rate of black coins also differed, but even now, this condition is definitely expensive.
Midnight doesn't care about this money, but no one likes to be blackmailed, but when Midnight was going to talk about the price, Xin'er pulled the corner of his clothes and shook his head, the meaning is very clear, this little thing is over.
"These are two black coins, I'll rent them for a month, and the other one will get me some food." Midnight took out the black coin he had received from Worm Three and threw it at the woman.
"Okay, okay." The woman took the black coin with both hands, and was very happy, this house has not been inhabited for a long time, so she has no income for a long time, plus she is sick, and her life is getting more and more difficult day by day, and now that she has income, it will definitely be much better.
"My lord, I'll go prepare food right away." The woman walked briskly into the kitchen and got busy.
"My lord, I'm sorry, I didn't know that my aunt would make the house price so expensive!" Worm Three said embarrassedly.
Midnight smiled and said, "I see that you are very familiar with that woman, so you must live here." ”
"My lord is right, my three brothers and I all live in the room on the left side of the first floor, but to save some money, we only rented one room." Worm San laughed.
In the chat with the worm three, Midnight also knew that the woman's name was Wanfeng, and the worm three generally called her Feng Niang, or directly called Auntie.
With the passage of time, Midnight also learned some of the situations in the Shendu from the mouth of the worm three, which is no different from the previous life, in total, there are only a few forces, but there are also some forces destined to be wiped out in time.
But there is one thing that makes Midnight a little surprised, Worm Three and his three subordinates are all mortals, and I heard him say that he wants to gather equipment and weapons and plan to go out hunting, because he heard that many people awaken to become gods when fighting monsters.
Obviously, the definition of mortal species in the Divine Capital has not yet appeared. It's just that the money that was originally used to buy equipment and weapons is now all in Midnight's pocket. This made the worm three want to smile bitterly.
Midnight smiled, not wanting to destroy the Worm Three's ideals, but changed the subject. At this time, Mrs. Feng came out of the kitchen, and plates of hot meals were brought up and placed in front of Midnight.
Because Midnight gave a black coin, these meals were very rich, and the best things in Mrs. Feng's inventory were taken out.
Looking at the drooling worms, Midnight didn't plan to call them, but after eating quickly with Xin'er, he took the key given to him by Aunt Feng and prepared to go upstairs.
"My lord, these meals...!" Worm San swallowed his saliva and looked at the night full of longing.
"I'm full." Midnight said with a smile, and then took Xin'er upstairs.
"Thank you, sir!" Worm San was immediately overjoyed and thanked him very much. In order to raise the money to buy equipment and weapons, Worm San and his men didn't eat anything good, and the food was really expensive, relying on the money they had looted for almost a month, they only managed to get ten black coins, a pistol and some bullets, and a few machetes that had fled to the Shendu, as well as the cheap leather armor on their bodies.
Although it was only some leftovers in front of him, it was already a great favor for them, and he wanted to rob the midnight before.
Seeing that Midnight had really gone upstairs, Aunt Feng hurriedly beckoned to the kitchen and shouted, "Come out quickly, it's time to eat." ”
Soon, a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years of age came out of the kitchen door, and although her face was dusted and her body was dressed in tatters, like a beggar, her bright and charming eyes could not hide her beauty.
"Auntie, Brother Bug, I'm sorry for bothering you again." The girl looked guilty and bowed.
"What kind of stupid thing to say, I'm your mother, he's your brother, it's right to do these things!" Aunt Feng's face changed, and she said seriously.
"yes, yes, don't worry, it's going to be fine." Worm San said affirmatively, his eyes couldn't help but look at the stairs to the second floor, surely, it will be fine!
"But, but...!" The girl's tears fell suddenly.
"Okay, don't cry, let's eat first, wait until the food is cold." Aunt Feng patted the girl's little head and said gently.
"Hmm." The girl nodded obediently, stopped crying, and sat down.
The midnight and Xin'er who went upstairs didn't know what was going on downstairs, opened the door, and walked in, and closed the door by the way, and after lighting the oil lamp, the surroundings were indeed as Mrs. Feng said, very clean, without a little dust. There are two pairs of futons on the bed.
"Xin'er, you sleep on the bed, and I'll make the bunk." Midnight said as he set up the bunk. Xin'er wanted to speak and stopped, her white and delicate face changed for a while, and after a pause, she still didn't say it, but hummed and lay directly on the bed.
Covering his head with a quilt, he hid inside and scolded softly: "Brother is a big fool, brother is a big fool ......!" ”
Midnight naturally couldn't hear it, seeing the situation in front of him, he shook his head with a wry smile, he really didn't understand that he had offended her again, but he had been on the road for several days, he was already very tired, and he didn't have to worry about safety in the divine capital, so he fell asleep.
By the time I woke up in the middle of the night, it was already the next day. Xin'er also woke up from the back of the night, stretched her waist, showed her perfect body curves, and jumped out of bed.
After tidying up a little, Midnight and Xin'er went downstairs, Aunt Feng had already made the meal, and after eating, Midnight and Xin'er said hello and walked out directly.
Next, Midnight and Xin'er have to go out of the city to bring back some of the materials in the cart, because Midnight will use them to make equipment and sell them for money.
