10. It turns out that you are such a teenager
However, this group of little hairy children still stared at Jiajing with a firm expression, as if they wanted to defend the young man behind them to the death.
The corners of Jiajing's mouth twitched, and he walked over as if no one was around, and stretched out his right hand: "The magic crystal can be given to you, but the bag of things can't." β
The boy was secretly strange, but still slightly relieved, and then took the bag of strange things from the haystack that was padded beneath him.
Under the cautious gaze of this group of little hairy children, Jiajing took the bag of things that belonged to him, opened it and saw that there were no more items in it, probably because the things in it were too rare, and the young man did not dare to sell them rashly.
The young man stroked his chest and panted and said, "I will keep the magic crystal, these children still have to live on this money." But I'll pay you back later!"
Jiajing said "um", and just wanted to go out, but three young men with fierce expressions walked in.
A young man with a blue scorpion tattoo on his face and a scar on his arm said arrogantly: "Get the money quickly!"
Another young man with red hair and a few holes in his pants said with a strange smile: "Hehe! Are you looking for a helper? Isn't it too much to beat! Tell you, not only will you have to pay two silver today, but you will have to pay an extra silver coin every month in the future, this is the territory of our Axe Gang, and if you don't pay, you will all be driven away!"
The young man was about to open his mouth to plead, but Jiajing preemptively said, "Before you quit milk, you will learn to rob others?"
The young man with the scorpion tattoo glared at Jiajing, raised his fist viciously and threatened, "Hillbilly, what did you just say......"
Before he finished speaking, Jiajing's figure flashed, like a ghost, he bullied him, and punched the young man in the stomach with one hand.
At the same time, the other two hooligan youths were not spared, they were all beaten hard by Jiajing's iron fist, and they all covered their stomachs and fell to the ground, their faces distorted in pain, their cheeks turned blue, and they couldn't speak!
Jiajing said with an indifferent expression: "If you don't want to die, get out!"
The tattooed scorpion youth is the head of two people, and his ability to resist beating is also a little stronger, he endured severe pain and got up, he wanted to say a few cruel words, but when he touched Jiajing's cold knife-like gaze, he didn't dare to make a sound, and pulled the other two young people to stagger out.
When they disappeared, the young man sighed, struggled to sit up, waved his hand to Jiajing and said, "You go quickly, the Axe Gang is very powerful, and it is said that there is cooperation with the robbers and thieves outside, even if you are good at martial arts, you can't fight them." β
Jiajing stared at him, and also looked around at the poor girl, "I'm gone, they will still trouble you." β
The young man shook his head unwillingly: "They have been looking for trouble with us people, just for money, and they won't do anything to us." It's just that they've been collecting more and more money lately, and last month they had to hand over two silver coins. We usually do odd jobs and pick up garbage for people to make money, we don't have enough to buy food, we have to beg for food, where there is money to hand them in, we can only go out and steal. β
Speaking of this, the young man peeked at Jiajing a little apologetically.
The young man who went outside to sell magic crystals said hatefully: "Yesterday they came, and if they didn't get any money, they injured us all, and said that if they didn't give money today, they would drive us all away, and we would not be allowed to live in this temple." β
Jiajing frowned: "It's not a way for you to go on like this, I still have some money, you take it, go to the city center to find a reliable place to live, and then find a way to make some money, don't stay here." β
Knowing that the Axe Gang has a lot of power, Jiajing doesn't want to leave trouble for these children after he leaves, he still has dozens of gold coins, plus magic crystals to sell money, combined with the prices of this city, he should be able to rent or even buy a good house in the city to settle them, and then find a way to make money to maintain their lives in the future.
The young man said that the Axe Gang would not do anything to them, in fact, it was just a comfort to Jiajing, and he was worried that he didn't know what to do, at this time he heard Jiajing say this, first he smiled overjoyedly, and then asked vigilantly: "Why do you want to help us?"
Jiajing's expression was indifferent: "No, why? It's just a little brother and sister who want to be more obedient." β
The young man stared at Jiajing's eyes for a long time before turning his head and asking the children, "Are you willing to go with this eldest brother?"
The children didn't think about it, so they said, "Let's listen to Sister Yanmei!"
Jiajing's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she asked strangely, "Sister Yanmei, are you a woman?"
This boy turned out to be a woman!
Yanmei nodded a little shyly, and whispered: "Well, my name is Zhang Yanmei, because there are many bad people outside, and it is inconvenient for my daughter to go out to work, so I smeared my face with soil ash, and most people think that I am a man, which saves a lot of trouble." β
She should only look like she is in her teens, a lot younger than Jiajing, at such an age, her body should have begun to develop, but she has been malnourished for a long time, her figure looks very thin, her breasts are also small steamed buns, and her face is smeared, which makes Jiajing think that she is just a young man who has not taken off her childish voice.
Jiajing said "um", didn't say anything, and told them to take their things and leave the broken temple with him immediately.
These children didn't have many things, just a few torn clothes and a few bowls, and Jiajing was really entangled, so he told them to throw away the bowls and go back and buy new ones.
And Yanmei suffered internal injuries and had difficulty moving, so Jiajing gave her a massage to heal her injuries so that she could barely walk.
On the way back to the hotel, a few people followed sneakily behind.
Yan Mei recognized them as members of the Axe Gang, and said to Jiajing a little worriedly: "Because this place is far away from their headquarters, they haven't had time to gather people, they should want to find out where we went and come to take revenge later." β
Jiajing sneered, bent down and picked up a few small stones and threw them at them, so that they would suffer a little so that they did not dare to continue to follow.
Back at the hotel, Jiajing opened two more rooms, Yan Mei and the others were seven men and five women, men and women were separated, there was no problem to squeeze it, and the conditions were many times better than the broken temple.
Now Jiajing has 49 gold on him, and the three rooms are almost one silver a day, which is enough for food and drink.
Jiajing expected that even if the Axe Gang knew that they lived here, they would not dare to make trouble in the city, so he ordered everyone to freshen up, took all the magic crystals, and the agate cigarette holder and went out.
It was the Magic Shop that bought the Magic Crystal. The shopkeeper saw that it was Jiajing, and he didn't deceive him, and bought all the magic crystals in Jiajing's hand at the price of three silver and one magic crystal.
As for the beautifully made agate cigarette holder, the shopkeeper, who was an alchemist, didn't know what material it was made of, and he was so interested that he bought it for a whopping thousand gold coins.
When Jiajing returned to the hotel, Yan Mei and the others had already freshened up, and they all gathered in the girl's room to wait for him to come back.
When Jiajing saw the freshly cleaned Yanmei, the whole person lost his mind.
Unexpectedly, Yanmei, who was cleaned up and showed her true face, was so good-looking, with long black and shiny soft hair, delicate and charming facial features, fair and smooth delicate skin, and attractive pink lips that could be broken by blowing.
Although the breasts are still a little smaller, it is also a very rare beauty fetus.
Jiajing pretended to be calm and secretly thought: No wonder she can disguise herself as a man, and it may be difficult for any man to control her true face when he sees her.
Yan Mei saw that Jiajing was stunned, staring at herself stupidly, so she lowered her head embarrassedly and whispered, "Brother Jiajing, did you go shopping for clothes and came back?"
Jiajing only came back to his senses now, his face turned red in panic, and he hurriedly handed over the big bag of clothes, "Well, you guys try it to see if it fits, and if it doesn't fit, I'll buy it again." By the way, Yanmei, how old are you?"
Jiajing didn't know that asking a girl's name in person meant pursuit in this empire, and once a girl told her age to the other party, it meant that she agreed to the other party's pursuit.
Yan Mei's face suddenly turned crimson, she lowered her head shyly, and whispered, "I, I'm fifteen years old this year." β
Jiajing sighed: "I'm 27 this year, and I'm much older than you." β
Seeing Yan Mei's shocked face, Jiajing handed Yan Mei the bag containing the gold coins again, and said, "By the way, Yan Mei, here is a thousand gold coins, I just arrived, and I don't know if this money is enough to buy a house in this city." β
You can clearly hear Yan Mei breathing deeply because of surprise, "This, enough, enough......" Yan Mei swallowed her saliva, and said sneeringly, she couldn't imagine that this 27-year-old uncle was so rich.
And although Jiajing said that he was cheated by many girls when he was undercover, he observed that this Yanmei was not like that kind of bad woman, and made a decision on the spot.
"Well, then all the money will be paid for you for me, buy a house, save a little. β
Because Jiajing asked her age, she answered truthfully, thinking that Jiajing understood the meaning, so she secretly substituted Jiajing as Jiajing's fiancΓ©e.
didn't postpone it at the moment, so he took the money bag and said with a sweet smile: "Well, let me do it." β
Jiajing looked out the window, it was already very dark, and many people had lit the lights, so they were ready to push the door and go out: "It's late at night, you all have to rest early." Also, this is the healing medicine I just bought, so you can take it and apply it to the wound, so that it will not become inflamed or anything like that. β
Yan Mei and a group of children are used to living a hard life, so she naturally knows how to be careful in planning, she knows that living here for an extra day will cost an extra day of rent, so she went to say hello to Jiajing early the next morning, and went out with Renault to look for a house.
Renault is the boy Jiajing happened to meet, among the orphans, except for Yan Mei, he is the oldest, twelve years old.
He often takes those children around to pick up garbage and beg for food, he is very clever, and he is more familiar with the situation here than Yanmei, who spends most of her time helping others do odd jobs. Now he took Yanmei to the courtyard where he had posted red paper for a long time and wanted to sell the house but there had been no buyer.
The family was a merchant family, and because they were going to move to a more prosperous big city because of their business, they wanted to sell the property here and get some cash.
The servants were all dismissed by them, and a few maids and the old housekeeper were left to move away with them.
The house is about 1,000 square meters, and there are a lot of flowers and trees planted in the large yard, as well as several rockery pavilions, which are very chic and luxurious.
After Yan Mei saw it, she was very satisfied, but she didn't make the slightest concession when bargaining.
The merchant's family was in a hurry to go to other cities to do business, but they were stuck in this house and couldn't get out, so they finally sold it to Yanmei for 700 gold.
This is a courtyard villa in the heart of the city.
The merchant's family had already packed their luggage, and moved out three days after the house was sold, and all the furniture belonged to Jiajing.
Jiajing and the others moved in soon after the merchants moved out. Yanmei was going to hand over the real estate certificate to Jiajing, but Jiajing didn't want it, so she had to keep it herself, and she felt extremely happy in her heart.
