Book 841 The Golden Calamity

Xiye was bullied while buying bread, first by someone and then almost beaten. Just when she lamented that her life was not good, Night Bee and Crane Rhine, who were watching in a ghost state, rejoiced in their good fortune.

When she was about to be beaten by the guards of a wealthy young master, the tiger girl appeared in time to help her out of the siege. Her means of breaking the siege were very simple, just shouted, and then the guard and the little young master both closed their mouths and showed fear, until the tiger girl took Xiye away without making any moves, just stunned there.

Crane Rhine and Night Bee didn't believe that there was no divine power in this super deterrent shout, and the two were sure that this was definitely the Tiger Girl's strength table.

The two of them heard from their Patronus about the effects of many other abilities of the post-chosen gods, but they didn't mention the Tiger Girl, and they didn't know if the patronus didn't know or didn't have time to say.

From the mouth of the guardian god, it is known that the hundred shapes can be transformed, and their physical abilities are extremely weak, making them the weakest of all the candidate gods. The black ape can change some strange things from the blood, I don't know the specifics, and the physical ability is very strong, but weaker than armor. The white ape can also use blood to make something, but it is not so strange in terms of ability compared to its sibling black ape, and its physical ability is stronger, but it is still weaker than armor. As for the red vein, it is said that he has the ability to give life to other objects, but no one knows if it's true or not, anyway, that's how he confessed to everyone, and his physical ability is very average.

All this information is ambiguous, but the ranking of physical abilities is relatively clear, the tiger girl is larger than the armor, the armor is greater than the two monkeys, and the other two can be ignored. As for the divine power, it seems that the candidate gods don't know each other very well, and listen to the tone of the gods. It seems that they have not witnessed these abilities with their own eyes, and they should all have heard of them.

Nightbee believed in the authenticity of these contents, after all, his Patronus had said so. If there is a problem with the authenticity, God should point it out. Now that the god was still asleep, she and Crane Rhine had planned to wait for the god to wake up before making a move, after all, it was safer this way. However, there was no trouble in appearing in front of a candidate god and a god's partner in the form of a ghost with his divine power, which made the two of them decide to do something boldly with confidence.

Zhou Shu went to dinner with the tiger girl and Xi Ye, he didn't want to go too much, but he didn't want to be entangled by the tiger girl.

Ou Na and Que Xi had already pretended not to know Zhou Shu and slipped into the crowd and slipped away, but the two of them were knowledgeable, knowing that they were exposed and were likely to be involved in the battle for the main god, which was definitely not a good thing-

Alfalfa is a well-known man in the slums, both in his name and in his face. In this neighborhood where all the poor people of the entire holy city are gathered, almost everyone knows it.

His fame mainly comes from some of his weird behaviors, which are mainly reflected in his generosity. He is a skilled thief, and he can also be considered a robber. He is very good at stealing, and in the face of some drunks or women, he will sometimes be lazy and not use the troublesome stealing skills, but directly rob the money.

Alfalfa has a strong ability to make money, people in the slums say. If he can live at home with his craftsmanship in peace, he will definitely be able to become rich and wealthy. However, he did not keep the stolen money for himself. Instead, they bought a large amount of food and piled it up in one place for the people in the slums to use, and occasionally bought wine and drank it with their fellow neighbors for a night.

Almost every slum dweller knows that he never keeps a penny with him, if not so. Someone has long been taking him on a blind date. No one in the slums looked down on him as a criminal, but his character of not living at home was very detrimental, and he didn't have a girlfriend now.

"The amount of gold in these two buckets is different, and today this bucket is significantly less. ”

Alfalfa was in the cellar of a friend's house at this time, in the light of the sudden smoke of the torch. Staring at the two barrels. The poisonous blood in the two buckets had been poured clean, and the insects had almost crawled, leaving only gold inside.

Since I didn't think about where to sell the nuggets and how to spend them, the alfalfa didn't open the barrel.

Beside him, stood the owner of this cellar, a middle-aged man who looked honest and was also a friend of Sativa. He stared at the barrel and saw a black worm crawling out of it that had been crushed by a gold nugget, and his face was worried.

"The amount of gold is not a big deal, Alfalfa, and there are some young people on the street who are dissatisfied with you right now. They want gold, and if you keep the nuggets so much that you don't let people use them, there will be problems. ”

"Which young man is dissatisfied?" Alfalfa raised her eyebrows, raising her foot to trample the worm that had just climbed off the barrel, "Whoever is dissatisfied, call whoever comes." I gave him gold nuggets, and he could have changed them for money in his patched coat and torn shoes, dragging his poor sour gas. Then he was targeted by the garrison, and was caught in a prison and beaten up to tell the story of Miss Green Stork, and was killed, and finally Miss Green Stork was arrested by the army. ”

Alfalfa knows exactly where he needs to focus his energy at the moment, not the weight of the gold, not the way to get the gold nuggets out of his hands and exchange them for silver coins, or how to convince the storks to produce more gold. He needed to steady the people who knew about it.

"We've got to figure it out. He kicked down the bucket of gold, gritted his teeth, and said, "Call all those who know about it, and say I will divide the nuggets equally." We can't go on like this, there are some things that have to be made clear!"

There were 220 slum dwellers who knew that the stork could conjure gold nuggets from blood, and 40 people, including alfalfa, were witnesses of the night, and they had seen the miraculous sight of gold nuggets coming out of blood, and the other 180 had all heard about it.

Alfalfa asked his friends to help and convey his words, but anyone who knew about the green stork came to the old place to gather, and there was gold to receive. As soon as these words were spoken, the number of people who knew about the blue stork skyrocketed. Alfalfa had expected this, but he still had to convey it like this.

The fewer people who know about the stork, the better, and it is inevitable that there will be more people and more mouths. Sometime someone will tell this to outsiders, and then it will spread and eventually attract the king's people. Temples are not interested in money, they only want fame, and they don't have to worry about their people coming to trouble.

The reason why we want to bring people together in that way is because alfalfa has things to arrange. If you don't use the 'gold nuggets' to attract. I'm afraid there will be a lot of lazy people who are still immersed in wine and meat and won't be there. The money from the first batch of green storks was all used to buy food and medicine for alfalfa, and the poor people, who had never feasted so much, were busy struggling to break their bellies.

The alfalfa message was, 'Anyone who knows about the stork, come and get the gold,' which led many to spread the news to their relatives and friends. I hope that relatives and friends can also receive a point. However, the news did not spread too widely, after all, the more people who knew, the less they would be shared, so those who knew the truth were accused of the number of two hundred and twenty.

"There are so many ......," Alfalfa would stand in front of the main entrance of a dilapidated mansion, and the courtyard in front of it was already full of people. "It's only been two days, and the news has spread from 40 to more than 200, which is really stupid. ”

He was now feeling a pang of heartache, and finally understood why these people had been living in the slums for generations.

The Sativa friend looked at the position of the sun. Judging that the time was up, he closed the courtyard of the mansion and found unsuspecting street friends to help them guard the intersection and prevent outsiders from entering. For the homeless, this kind of work is somewhat reluctant, and they usually can't stop even a cat, but there is really no one else to ask for at this moment.

The sky is yellowing and it is dusk. The alfalfa poured the cleaned gold out of the box, reflecting a fiery red in the sun. As soon as this thing appeared. The crowd erupted in a loud burst of whispering, smacking and gasps.

Alfalfa stood in front of people, fiddling with these gold nuggets with his feet, stepping on them as if they were nothing more than ordinary stones. With an indifferent expression, he stared at the group in front of him. Start talking.

'I'll divide the gold, I'll divide it in a moment.' I just weighed the weight, and I can get half a pound per person. But I want to ask, after you get the gold...... How are you going to monetize it?'

Alfalfa didn't speak loudly, but the two hundred people in front of him listened quietly and nervously. Many of these people were his friends. Before gathering the people, he had greeted them and asked them to cooperate with his speech. At present, the slum is facing the biggest chance of salted fish in history, and Alfalfa wants to help these unambitious poor ghosts and change their fate, so some small tricks and small means are needed for this.

As soon as the question about the exchange of gold for huàn was thrown out, a friend of alfalfa who had arranged it answered in the crowd with a big grin, "Go to the exchange to exchange huàn, isn't it always possible to exchange it, and they dare not exchange it for me?"

The numismatic exchanges in the bazaars and the gold exchanges of the comptoirs can all be exchanged for gold bullion, and Alfalfa believes that most people will carefully carry it to these places to exchange it for huàn when they get their hands on it.

The answer in my heart was spoken, and another noise erupted in the crowd. They don't understand why alfalfa asks like this, it's just a matter of changing it for gold, what's so difficult.

Alfalfa looked at the women among them, and was sure that they were her first target of persuasion. Young people and men are mostly aware of the troubles they are facing, and at least apart from a few drunks who are desperate to spend money on alcohol, men are sane. As for those who have been thinking about their whole lives, it seems that they only want to get their share of the gold, as if they will be cheated out of it if they do not fight for it quickly.

"More than 200 people, all of them poor and sour, went to the exchange to exchange for gold. Alfalfa said in a slightly mocking tone: "Do you really think that such an act will not attract attention? The gold exchange in the entire holy city will not exceed 1,000 catties of gold in a year, and we have more than 100 catties here, plus the 20 catties that I asked someone to help replace before, no one thinks we are too conspicuous? People like us hold such a big wealth in their hands, what does this mean I think everyone knows, but it was two years ago, I believe everyone still remembers!"

Two years ago, a family in the slum approached friends and relatives to try to dig a dry well to see if there was water. As a result, the men went down into the well and found several jars of silver coins, which were dated forty years ago.

Those people told the good news that they had dug up good things, and they didn't share them exclusively, but gave a lot of them to the neighbors, so that everyone became rich for a while. A month later, the family that dug up the coins was killed.

A gang of robbers heard about the money they had dug up, but after a month of false rumors. The robber heard not about a few jars of silver coins, but about a few boxes of gold coins.

The family had already spent all the silver coins, and although they gave the last jar of silver to the robbers, the whole family was killed, because the robbers wanted gold.

This incident was very sensational for a while, and it also caused the Patronus to arrest the robbers and cut off all their heads. Where the alfalfa is now. The mansion that the family bought after they became wealthy is now borderland, and according to the law, the land will be repossessed in another ten years without inheritance and paying house taxes.

A group of poor people standing in this courtyard began to be a little frightened when they thought of what happened back then, and Alfalfa breathed a sigh of relief, saying that it was good to have such a lesson to help him, otherwise it would take more words to achieve such a persuasive effect.

In the crowd, an old man with a main crutch stepped forward. "Alfalfa, what are you going to do?"

Alfalfa naturally thought of a way, smiled and just wanted to speak, but the old man only said the first half and the second half.

"Alfalfa, we all know that you are not interested in money and never have money in your pocket. If you really need someone to keep the gold, and the woman named the Blue Stork who can produce gold, you are definitely the best candidate. ”

Alfalfa was stunned by this sentence. I don't know why this uncle suddenly said this. He was not very familiar with the old man who would stand up, only that he sat in the sun every day without children and daughters. Never took anything from my side.

The old man stood very straight, his spirit was also sufficient, and his voice was loud and confident, and his speech was clear.

"Alfalfa, I don't know if you know. When I was younger, there were some people who fought for gold. Anyone my age should remember two hundred pounds of gold. Two hundred lives. ”

The number of old people gathered here was still very large, after all, all the able-bodied young people had fled the slums, and most of the women, children and old people were left here. This past incident was singled out, and some old people recalled it, which was big news back then. I've been talked about for a long time.

Hearing this, Alfalfa nodded, "I know what you always want to say, it's human nature to fight for gold. Now that the gold has appeared, we need to take a good account of it in order to prevent the tragedy you have been talking about again. The mistakes of the past must not be repeated. ”

When the old man heard this, he smiled bitterly and turned his hand away, "You don't understand what I mean at all." ”

Alfalfa snorted again, frowning at the old man in front of him. "What do you mean?"

"Let me tell you that. The old man turned his head to look out of the courtyard, then pointed his finger at himself. "If I want to leave the ghetto, make a clean cut from the gold, and promise you that I will never reveal anything about the girl and the gold...... Will you let me go?"

"And gold...... Draw a line?" Alfalfa's eyes widened, and he felt like he had heard something very incredible.

The old man nodded, "I never think of this gold as gold, they are poisons, and what flows out of that girl's body are two poisons and a disgusting insect." If I were you, I'd break her neck and burn it on the spot. How's that, alfalfa, will you let me out of this gold?"

No!

Alfalfa knew very well in his heart that he would never let any of the two hundred and twenty people leave. He was not sure of the purpose of the person who had left, and although the old man was probably afraid of the danger posed by the gold and wanted to flee, it could not be ruled out that he had plotted against Rengao to take the stork and the gold when he left the courtyard.

He had prepared a bunch of questions and a couple of procrastination to help himself become the manager of gold. He believed that as long as the money was used carefully, it would not be long before he would be able to establish his own trade bazaar, his own chamber of commerce, and there would be no problem in selling the gold when the time came. He believes that as long as these people still want to benefit from this side, they will definitely choose to be on his side, and he just needs to convince these people to be patient for a while longer, and not to think about sharing the gold all day long. In a few years, everyone will be the richest person in the country.

Alfalfa didn't expect that there were other people besides himself who could be indifferent to these golds, and chose to avoid and escape in the face of these yellow and clear metals that made people's hearts hot.

Staring at the worried old man in front of him, Alfalfa gave his own answer. He now knew what the old man meant, and the old man wanted to persuade him to throw away the stork and not be drawn into this great golden disaster because of greed. Alfalfa certainly wouldn't have listened to him, and he admitted that the old man's words were quite reasonable. But he didn't think he could avoid the trouble that gold would bring. He has the confidence to make the slum the richest and richest area, and he has the confidence to protect this wealth and the woman of the stork.

The old man looked at the alfalfa's eyes and knew that he was not ready to let himself go.

"Alfalfa, you should be mentally prepared. If you insist on these windfalls, some of the more than 200 people gathered here at this moment will surely die because of the gold. You ask yourself. Do you already have a number in mind how many lives you think you can sacrifice for this gold, ten, twenty, or hundred?"

Alfalfa does have numbers in their hearts, but that's just a single digit, the smallest natural number. He didn't want anyone but himself to lose their lives because of the money, including the stork.

Seeing that he couldn't convince him, the old man raised his hand in surrender helplessly.

"Since you care so much about the money, then just go ahead and follow your plan when I haven't said anything. The next step is to bring together those of us in the know. Concentrate on guarding them, then invest the gold in the merchants and get them to come forward and form a new chamber of commerce. And then you're going to be killed while fighting the existing chamber of commerce for territory. If that's what you want, go for it!"

After saying this, the old man stood back in the crowd, and there was the most violent commotion in the crowd. Alfalfa didn't care, but just asked a very casual question to the crowd, "Take a risk with me, or endure poverty for generations?" ”

As soon as the question was spoken. There was an immediate response from almost all of them. No one wants to be poor, and older people want their children and grandchildren to live a prosperous life. There are many young people, and they must be realized with money. A person who, like the old man, dared to give up his wealth, and the second did not appear.

The meeting was quickly over, and as the old man had said, Alfalfa sent all the people in the know together in one place, transforming their unit from a family to a collective. The old man is among them. He then assured that the collective life would respect the rights of all people, that everyone would have a separate room, and that no one would be wronged in terms of food. The only thing that needs to be regulated. It is personal freedom.

This mention yì got a full ticket pass, and everyone present thought that this kind of day of eating and drinking without having to do any work was like heaven. But they still have a need, "We want to see Miss Stork!"

There are some people who make such noises.

"See what she's doing?" Alfalfa was puzzled.

The answer of the street friends is very simple, "We are about to become rich people, this is thanks to Miss Stork, we have to thank her in person!"

This is not a problem, alfalfa does not have much time to communicate with the green stork, but her character can still be determined, she is the kind of girl who is particularly easy to understand, in short, simple.

"See, I'll arrange for you to see her in a moment. It just so happens that I'm looking for a valet for her, and if any of you want to, you can apply with me. ”

There are also maids around the green stork, but they are temporarily rented from the Chamber of Commerce to clean the house, and they will have to be returned after sweeping. Alfalfa felt that the green stork should need to be accompanied by someone, otherwise it would be a little pitiful to be alone all day. He finished speaking, waiting for a response, but no one was killing him.

"We're going to be rich soon, so we don't want to serve others. Several girls shook their heads, and some women were reluctant to accept the job on the pretext that they had their own children to be taken care of by men.

Alfalfa also knows what these guys are afraid of, what the green stork is at the moment, and why poisons, insects and gold nuggets emerge from the blood, these things are not clear. If it was the poor people in the past, it would not be so much. Now that they are about to wrap themselves in the life of the rich, everyone is starting to become desperate.

In this regard, alfalfa is not forced. Just when he and a few friends were planning to divide the room for everyone, there was some commotion at a section of the intersection that was blocked by the streetmates. A few streetmates chased after a young girl in a maid costume and shouted, "Don't go over there, stop!

The girl wears a long skirt and runs at an average pace. The streetmates didn't seem to have touched a woman for a long time, and a flying pounce pounced on the girl.

The girl cried and shouted, "Let go of me, someone is chasing me, I will die if they chase me!"

Alfalfa shrugged, "The maid has it." ”

He easily climbed out of the courtyard wall and ignored the main entrance, and walked in front of the girl in a few steps and stretched out a hand to her, "Let go of this girl, it's okay, no matter who wants to chase her, we have the ability to protect her." Although the slum street is poor, it is still no problem to hide a few people. ”

The girl was injured when she was pounced, and her arm was bleeding from the skin, and Alfalfa was relieved to see that the girl's blood was normal. He really didn't want to have the trouble of a green stork, and one of those cash cows was enough. Helping the girl up, Alfalfa put on the brightest smile with her handsome face. "What is this girl's name?" Because he always sends money to the poor on the street, he has no female popularity, so he is particularly attentive to women.

The girl in the maid costume dusted off her body, looked at the handsome guy in front of her gratefully, and replied truthfully: "My name is Yanni, please, please help me!" (To be continued......)
