Chapter 5 The Mountains and Rivers Are Exhausted
Xiao Ling walked on the street, looking at the crowd coming and going, she couldn't help but look up at the sky, compared to the clear sky above her head, Xiao Ling was extremely depressed in her heart.
It's been four days, four whole days, and Xiao Ling hasn't eaten for four days since the only money on her body was stolen by that damn masked female thief.
For a while, Xiao Ling couldn't help but think of the brocade clothes and jade food in the Wuji Immortal Palace, thinking about how sad it was that he was the young palace master of the Wuji Immortal Palace, and now he had fallen to this step!
At this time, it was almost ten noon, and a few wisps of tempting fragrance wafted from the inns on both sides of the street from time to time, and Xiao Ling swallowed his saliva unconsciously.
It's just that these few wisps of temptation fragrance made Xiao Ling's hunger worse.
At this moment, he wanted to rush in and have a good meal, but reason told him that the consequences of doing so would most likely be beaten to death.
In desperation, Xiao Ling turned around and walked towards a secluded alley.
Four days ago, he and Xiaoqiu had been kicked out of the inn, so they had to sleep on the streets.
Sitting in a fairly clean corner on the side, Xiao Ling touched her belly, which was constantly drumming, and sighed helplessly.
In the past four days, Xiao Ling did not sit still, but worked even more desperately to find a job.
It's a pity that four days have passed, but I still haven't found half a job.
Just as Xiao Ling was secretly thinking to himself, his spare eyes found that Xiao Qiu was running over from a corner not far away. What caught Xiao Ling's attention was that at this moment, Xiaoqiu's pair of small wings were holding two fragrant buns, and there was one in its mouth.
Looking at Xiaoqiu's appearance, Xiao Ling was stunned for a moment.
At this time, Xiaoqiu had already come to his side, and handed over the bun in his hand flatteringly.
Xiao Ling subconsciously took the two buns and looked at Xiao Qiu suspiciously, and the latter swallowed the buns in his mouth at the same time, and then pointed to the buns in Xiao Ling's hand, and screamed softly, meaning to let Xiao Ling eat quickly.
Although Xiao Ling was dizzy from hunger at this time, her mind was still quite clear. When he saw the buns handed over by Xiaoqiu, the first reaction in his mind was where this little guy went to steal food.
Just as he was about to ask, there was a chaotic and hurried footsteps in the other corner of the alley.
Hearing this sound, Xiao Ling's face changed, and before she could speak, she bounced up from the ground suddenly, grabbed Xiaoqiu who didn't understand on the side, and quickly ran out from the other side.
Soon, the chaotic footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Xiao Ling could even hear the angry scolding from behind him: "Stop, you two damn thieves, you actually stole the buns in my store." ”
Xiao Ling saw that the person behind him was getting closer and closer, she gritted her teeth in her heart, endured the hunger in her belly, used the two buns in her hand as hidden weapons, and threw them vigorously behind her.
I have to say that although Xiao Ling doesn't understand Xuanqi, the strength of this body is very large, even if it is a bun that is thrown out, it still hurts very much to hit the group of people behind him.
This can be seen from the slightest cry of pain coming from behind him.
And taking this opportunity, Xiao Ling dragged Xiaoqiu to turn left and right in the alley quickly, and after most of the day, Xiao Ling finally threw off the group of people behind him.
After carefully observing the rear, after confirming that he was really not caught up, Xiao Ling found a corner to rest, at this moment Xiao Ling's steps were already a little vain, if it weren't for the fact that this body itself was a Tianxuan powerhouse, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to exert his strength at all just now, let alone escape.
Panting heavily, Xiao Ling leaned against the wall behind her and sat on the ground.
Xiao Ling looked at Xiaoqiu on the side, and couldn't help but say helplessly, "I've never seen you so stupid, why are you found out every time you steal something, I really convinced you." ”
Xiao Qiu was told this by Xiao Ling, and couldn't help but show aggrieved eyes, rubbing on Xiao Ling's body.
Although she scolded Xiaoqiu, Xiao Ling couldn't get angry in her heart anyway, but was a little moved.
Xiaoqiu, like him, was also hungry for four days.
But just now, Xiaoqiu risked his life and stole three buns, but only kept one for himself, and gave him all the remaining two.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but gently pat Xiaoqiu's little head to show comfort.
After resting for a while, Xiao Ling felt that his body had regained a little strength, and just in case, he didn't dare to stay longer, but made seven or eight turns and came to a street.
After what happened just now, Xiao Ling walked aimlessly on the street, and at this moment, he can be described as a battle between heaven and man.
In his heart, he was hesitating whether to give up his dignity to become a beggar, or to endure the unbearable hunger in his belly until he starved to death?
Thinking of these, Xiao Ling once again sighed about her own life, originally staying on the earth, although she didn't have any money, she lived quite comfortably in Xiaoyuezi.
But God just let him inexplicably cross into this ignorant world, in just over a month, he actually fell into this field, which is really the biggest misfortune in his life.
Just when Xiao Ling was walking and thinking about how to solve the problem of food and clothing, he suddenly saw a large group of people surrounding him in the distance, and he was a little curious, so he thought about it and walked over.
Coming to the crowd, Xiao Ling took a few glances and understood what was going on here.
It turned out that servants were being recruited here.
The old man in the middle, who looked like a butler, was in charge of selection at this time.
And in front of him there were already twenty or so conscripts lined up.
After understanding what was going on, Xiao Ling's eyes suddenly lit up. Maybe this is an opportunity, if he can be chosen, at least the rest of the day will not be worried.
He had been hungry for four days, and if he had nothing to eat, he was afraid that he would not be able to sustain himself any longer.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling quickly came to the back of the long line.
After waiting patiently, the long dragon in front finally disappeared, and it was finally Xiao Ling's turn at this moment.
The housekeeper in front of him glanced at Xiao Ling, didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly, "What's it called?"
"Xiao Ling!" Xiao Ling replied truthfully.
"Where did it come from?"
Xiao Ling thought about it, this question is not easy to answer, do you really tell the other party that she is from the earth?
I'm afraid that I'll be kicked out as a madman right away.
Of course, this thought only flashed in Xiao Ling's mind, and at this moment he didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity, so he casually made up a place name.
"Yunshan Town!"
Yunshan Town was a remote town that Xiao Ling passed through when he fled from the Wuji Immortal Palace before, and there were only two hundred households in the town, so it would not be too much to say that it was a village.
When the housekeeper heard Xiao Ling's answer, he was stunned at first, and then he didn't suspect it.
In his mind, this sea city has a lot of people from all over the world every year, so he didn't dwell on this issue.
"What are you good at?"
Hearing the housekeeper ask this question, Xiao Ling was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
If he had the ability to do it, would he still be starving like he is now?
Looking at Xiao Ling's daze, the housekeeper asked, "Do you know how to farm?"
Xiao Ling hesitated and shook his head.
"That will be forged?"
Xiao Ling still shook her head.
The housekeeper asked a few questions with a face, but Xiao Ling kept shaking his head.
Seeing that Xiao Ling kept shaking his head, the housekeeper also shook his head and said, "You go, next!"
After listening to the housekeeper's words, Xiao Ling understood that he was not picked, and sighed in disappointment, this result was expected in his heart when the housekeeper asked him, so Xiao Ling turned around and walked out of the crowd with some frustration.
didn't take two steps, Xiao Ling suddenly felt that her brain was spinning, and then her eyes were black, and she completely lost consciousness, and she actually fainted.
In fact, it's no wonder that Xiao Ling, after all, she hasn't eaten anything for four days, and with the previous wild running, Xiao Ling's body is already weak.
And more importantly, it was noon at this time, with a strong cry on his head, and he had been exposed to the sun for so long, and he had already squeezed out all the strength left in Xiao Ling's body.
Just now, because he still had a trace of expectation in his heart, Xiao Ling was barely able to support it, but now the expectation in his heart was shattered, and the unbearable hunger in his body instantly filled his brain, making him unconscious at once.
If people know that Ling Xiao, one of the Lingyun Shuangjie who is revered by the world, will faint on the side of the road with hunger one day, just afraid of spreading it, it will be even more shocking than when he destroyed Mingyue Pavilion back then.
Xiao Ling's coma suddenly caused a stir in the crowd, and the housekeeper was also startled, hurriedly left his seat and came to Xiao Ling's side.
After a closer look, he found that Xiao Ling had just fainted, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to ask someone to help him aside, when suddenly there was a stirring from outside the crowd.
The butler frowned, and was about to ask what was going on, but the crowd parted automatically.
Immediately afterwards, a beautiful figure walked towards the place where Xiao Ling fainted with lotus steps.
The butler looked up, his face changed, he quickly stood up, and said respectfully to the visitor, "Miss, why are you here?" ”
The person who came was a woman, who looked to be in her early twenties, dressed in an elegant but noble blue dress, and her delicate face was not powdered, but it made the people around her look a little fascinated.
Behind the woman, there was a pretty girl with a somewhat delicate demeanor.
When the woman came to the crowd, she first glanced at Xiao Ling on the ground, and instead of answering the housekeeper's words, she asked suspiciously, "Uncle Yu, what's going on here?"
When the housekeeper known as Uncle Yu heard this, he respectfully told what had just happened.
After listening, the woman also came to Xiao Ling's side, first looked at him carefully, and then reluctantly ordered: "Uncle Yu, ask two people to help him to the side in the shade, and then bring a bowl of water." ”
At this time, the maid behind the woman seemed to see the reason why Xiao Ling fainted, and then whispered in the woman's ear: "Miss, this person looks like he hasn't eaten for several days and is hungry." ”
When the woman heard this, she first nodded, then turned to Uncle Yu and said, "Uncle Yu, I will take him back to the house in a while, and arrange something for him to do at will." ”
"But Miss, this person doesn't know anything, what does the mansion want him to do?" Yu Bo said helplessly, and he also knew in his heart that his young lady was afraid that he would feel pity again.
Sure enough, when the woman heard this, she said softly: "The heavy work of carrying water and chopping firewood should always be done, can you just watch him starve to death on the street like this, Uncle Yu, you just do it, and if your father asks when you go back, you just have to tell the truth." ”
"That'...... Okay!" Yu Bo shook his head helplessly, and immediately agreed.
Xiao Ling, who was in a coma, didn't know that because he accidentally fainted, he had his first job after coming to the Tianyuan Continent.
I don't know how he will feel when he wakes up.
