Chapter 15: Strange Disease?
When the peasant woman saw the little girl, she cried even more sadly. The other villagers persuaded: "Get up, the village chief can't help it!"
Village Chief Niu sighed and said, "Why are you doing this?"
The peasant woman begged, "Village chief, please help the child!" She cried heartbroken, and the little girl saw this and helped her mother wipe her tears.
"You know the reason, the village will help you. It's just that there are some things that can't be done by manpower. The village chief continued to persuade, but to no avail.
He had no choice but to say, "Well, you get up first." I'm going to try to figure out what to do these days, how about it?"
The peasant woman knew that this was the biggest promise that the village chief could give, so she hurriedly thanked you: "Village chief, thank you, as long as you can help my baby, I will repay you for being a cow and a horse!"
The village chief Niu asked her and the little girl to help her away, and explained some things. Only then did he take care of Zheng Haoyu and said, "Let Mr. Zheng smile." ”
Zheng Haoyu was curious: "Is that girl sick? Why can't you treat her?" Although he is not a compassionate saint, he has some sympathy in his heart when he sees this kind of scene.
Village Chief Niu nodded and said, "I have a disease, and I have seen it, but unfortunately no one knows what the disease is." ”
"Actually, this child is not from our Niujia Village, the peasant woman is a villager from our village, and her husband is a hunter. A few years ago, his husband picked up the child in the mountains while hunting. I don't know who lost it, so I hugged it back. ”
"Who knows, this child was born with a strange disease. Don't look at her small, she has to eat the amount of three or five adult strong men in one meal. And she grows very slowly, in the past few years, she has hardly grown taller. I guess that's why her parents abandoned her in the first place. In order to support her, the two of them got up early and worked late. ”
Unexpectedly, a year ago, her man died in the mouth of the demon beast. How can a woman raise a child like her? The village can't help it, and no one has any food left. ”
Zheng Haoyu was surprised: "How can there be such a strange disease?"
Village Chief Niu said: "There are many strange things in this world, maybe she is not sick. But who knows about our broken village? Maybe the adults in the city will know a little bit. ”
Zheng Haoyu secretly thought in his heart, what the village chief said was right, this child may not be sick. If it is a strange disease, this child eats so much, and there is usually something abnormal in appearance or other aspects, but she looks no different from ordinary children.
Since it's a fantasy world, there are too many possibilities. In the final analysis, it is because there are few knowledgeable people in Niujia Village who do not know the situation.
On the same day, Zheng Haoyu began to work in Niujia Village, purchasing some materials in the village and temporarily hoarding them at the village chief's house.
Later, he returned to Blackstone and sold some of the salt in exchange for some crystals. For the next few days, he would be busy working here, renting a small shop and going to the surrounding villages to exchange salt for supplies.
All the 100 points he saved were used to transport salt. With these exquisite iodized salts, he easily reached cooperation with five villages and exchanged for a large number of supplies.
At the same time, his crystal coins also reached more than 300. In the market in Blackstone Town, this money can only be rented in a small store in Blackstone Town, and it is only for a year!
After paying the lease fee of 300 crystals to Huang Kai, the "captain of the city management" and shop manager in Blackstone Town, Zheng Haoyu officially had the right to use a small shop in Blackstone Town for one year!
His shop is located deep in the street, with little foot traffic, similar to where a stall is set up. However, Zheng Haoyu is not worried, he can sell his goods by setting up a stall and open a store.
The shop is not big, but there is still space behind the house, and there is even a small courtyard for the warehouse, kitchen, bedroom. For the rental price of shops on the planet, this should be considered cheap.
"Mr. Zheng, we have moved here, where do we put them?" Da Niu shouted at the door.
Zheng Haoyu asked the village chief Niu for help and asked a few villagers to help him move all the purchased materials. Originally, Zheng Haoyu was going to pay some more money as labor fees, but who knew that Village Chief Niu actually agreed directly, or volunteered to help.
"Good work, let's move in to the warehouse! Zheng Haoyu arranged that the miscellaneous goods such as herbs and animal skins exchanged for table salt were piled up in the warehouse.
Everything is arranged, as soon as the goods are cleared, and then a clerk can be found.
Zheng Haoyu himself would definitely not come here to be a clerk, he still has a lot of things to do on the other side of the world, how can he be a grocery store clerk here?
Facing another problem, Zheng Haoyu doesn't have much money left in his hand, and I'm afraid he won't be able to recruit any good clerks. The most important thing is that he has to find someone he can trust to be a clerk.
After all, the boss is absent all the year round, and if the clerk makes a small move, he really can't do anything.
Da Niu took a few villagers to move the supplies, and Zheng Haoyu fetched water for them to drink in the yard. The well water here is also exceptionally clear and unpolluted.
"I'm sorry everyone. This is a little heart, and there will be trouble in the future......" Zheng Haoyu took out a few shiny crystal coins and handed them to Da Niu.
But they insisted on refusing to ask for it, Da Niu touched his head and said honestly: "Mr. Zheng, we can't ask for this money." I have one more thing to tell you. ”
"Tell me what? Zheng Haoyu said.
Da Niu said: "Mr. Zheng, you are still short of people in this store, right? ”
Zheng Haoyu was curious: "Who?"
"Right outside the door. Da Niu shouted outside the door, "Cuihua, silly girl, come in." ”
After he finished shouting, he saw a peasant woman in a cloth dress walking in with a little girl, who was the mother and daughter that Zheng Haoyu saw that day.
The peasant woman, though dressed simply, was cleanly cleaned and looked to be about thirty years old. The little girl too, who looked like she was only seven or eight years old, with unhealthy white skin, thin and petite, hiding behind her mother timidly, and looking at Zheng Haoyu curiously with a pair of bright eyes.
Da Niu continued: "Mr. Zheng, look. Cuihua is a good worker, and her man used to be a hunter, and she knows all these goods. If you ask her to help, you'll be able to take care of the shop. ”
Zheng Haoyu asked, "Did the village chief teach you to say that?"
This style is not like the words that a big bull can say. Da Niu said honestly: "It was the village chief who said it." ”
At this time, the peasant woman named Cuihua knelt down at Zheng Haoyu and said, "Mr. Zheng, our village chief said that you are from the city, and you have the ability. As long as you let me work, I will never be lazy, and I don't need money, as long as I can support our mother and daughter. ”
"Hurry up!" Zheng Haoyu asked Da Niu to pull her up and said, "I'll think about it for a while." ”
Cuihua and a group of villagers all looked at Zheng Haoyu with blank eyes, waiting for his decision.
