Book 813 Good Girl
Ever since he came to the country of the East, Zhou Shu's name has always been preceded by the prefix 'generous'. ββ Topline Fiction says that on his first day in the small town near the Holy City, he stayed in the suburban epicenter for seriously ill patients, a slum-like place where only people with the disease lived.
The first night after coming to the new environment is always the hardest, and Zhou Shu is very clever to find a girl to accompany him. The little girl who was forced to become a volunteer told him that the city had not been peaceful lately, and that the main shrine wanted to find a new main god.
The death of the god of the moon has been publicly acknowledged in the land of the east, and the Tiddlerum side still claims that the god of the sun is simply missing, and there is no confirmation of his death.
The country of the east wants to support a new main god, which is expected for Zhou Shu.
The capital of the East Country is now in a state of post-disaster reconstruction, and Alyusha had some trouble at the beginning of catching rabbits, so he couldn't catch the bouncing thing at all, so he ran to the capital of the country in a fit of rage and destroyed all the temples.
When Aleusha wreaked havoc, the guardians of the East Country avoided it, but let them survive the witch's hands. The country has two large-scale religious cities, one of which is the national capital. Now all the temples there are destroyed, and they are all hundreds of years old, and it is very difficult to repair and rebuild, so the temple city has become a place to choose a new main god.
Zhou Shu hugged the strange girl who didn't even know her name, and listened to her say some specific situations. It is said that in a few days, the temple will hold a ceremony in which a holy light will descend on one of the patron gods, and that god will become the presiding deity of all the people.
Hearing such a statement, Master Zhou felt very strange. He understood that the country needed a god to take the lead, as long as there was a guardian god to be crowned as the main god. Without saying a word, you can immediately gain the faith of the part of the civilian population that is vacated after the death of the moon god, and soon a guardian god with a power close to the moon god will appear.
Zhou Shu could see that Tiddlelem had a lot of complaints about the actions of the patron saints, and he didn't particularly like them. As a king, she can override these patron saints in a certain way, and she does not have a special respect for them. She didn't choose to choose one of the surviving Patronus to become the new main deity. The new combat power is probably because of this disgust with the patron saint. She couldn't help but be disgusted, in the battle between the two guardian gods, those guys in the West Country were basically the rhythm of being hanged and beaten, thanks to the Seagod Clan who wasted their divine power when the Crescent Moon Harbor was killed.
There is no doubt that the country of the east is clearly hoping to restore the power of the guardian deity to the best of its ability. What Zhou Shu didn't understand was that the temple chose the main god? What kind of logic is this?
He didn't know much about the country's religion, but he thought that God was above the temple. In the shrine of Nishi-no-kuni, almost all important positions are held by guardian spirits. The same should be true of the country of the east. These patronus saints should be equal in class, how exactly should they be selected to ensure that there is no fighting among the patrons?
Zhou Shu asked the girl next to the pillow about the 'Holy Light'.
"You're saying that the patronus who shines with the light will become the main god, and where does that light come from?"
"Holy Light, of course, that's from the previous generation of the main god Moon God. He was destroyed and could no longer protect us, so he chose to ......"
"Okay, I got it. Zhou Shu understood thoroughly. He also thought that above these guardian gods there was a higher class of gods similar to the 'Heavenly Father', but now it seems that there is none. As for the holy light, Zhou Shu was sure that after the moon god died, he didn't even leave a hair. The entire body has become the material for the time magic array. The so-called holy light is nothing more than a trick made by the guardian saint himself to fool ordinary people. They should have reached some internal agreement to determine the main god candidate.
There is no Patronus near the town, and Zhou Shu confirmed it with the Book of Summoning. He had let one go before, which made him regret it a little. He was very happy to have the opportunity to teach these patronus saints a lesson again, and he was a little worried that his previous actions would startle the snakes-
The girl in her arms was very cute, and she was a very simple little girl. After receiving the money, I am very serious about doing things, which is a very good quality.
Zhou Shu didn't know what the girl wanted money to buy, and the next morning after sleeping with her for one night, the girl was not satisfied with the gold coin reward she had just gotten, and wanted to earn more.
In the yellow mud house and plank bed of the epidemic house. Zhou Shu unexpectedly slept very comfortably, so comfortable that he was a little dazed when he got up in the morning.
"Uh, you. I almost recognized the wrong person......" Zhou Shu said rather hurtful words and took out more gold coins from his money bag. "You're a good girl, you should earn more. I need you to do me a favor, I want to enter your town, you know, I'm here with three friends, I want to go to them. β
This is not what the little girl wants, she likes the kind of work that can be enjoyed while lying in bed and making money. Zhou Shu saw that she was a little embarrassed, so he had to push her to the bed and let her understand the difficulties of this kind of work with practical actions.
The girl with an ordinary body thought that this job was as comfortable as doing it late, and today's morning shift made her understand the hardships of making money, and Zhou Shu showed no mercy at all, and deliberately taught her a lesson. So this girl no longer thought about lying down to make money, but found a way to take Zhou Shu into the town.
In fact, Master Zhou can enter the town independently, but it is not easy to explain to them, and it is much easier to say with the help of locals. He was dressed as a woman from the Arab world, and followed the orchard carriage into town with his face covered, driving by the girl's boyfriend.
"Your boyfriend is very nice......"
Entering the town, Zhou Shu, who was sure that he was safe enough, said this to the girl.
"He's good, I like him a lot, that's why I want to make money. He wanted to have his own orchard, he wanted his own winery, which needed money. β
"That's ......" Zhou Shu understood why this guy needed money so much, and with a sense of guilt for her boyfriend, Zhou Shu promised to give this girl more opportunities to make money. He would need to stay in the town for at least a day or two, and there would be a lonely night or two when he needed to be accompanied. The girl smiled and agreed after making sure that he would not be so rough anymore.
After the girl left. With the help of beetles, Zhou Shu wandered around to find Ou Na and them. The scale of the town is still relatively large, and there are more people on the street, so there is indeed a shortage of labor. As soon as you walk down the street, you can see a lot of beautiful girls doing physical work, and there is a feeling of entering the daughter country.
The town could not keep young men, and near the big cities, all the men went to work in the holy city. The town is suitable for the elderly, the number of elderly people is still relatively large, and it is also very suitable for the life of a single mother like Triska.
After going around for a long time, I finally found Ou Na with a beetle. She wasn't with Sparrow and Tracey, but was alone in what looked like a chamber of commerce, poking at the door of the building and waiting for someone.
"Hello, are you waiting for me?"
Zhou Shu is now so familiar with her that he knows even the small notches in Ou Na's teeth.
"Zhou Shu!How did you get in?!"
Ouna was surprised to see him covering his face like a ball.
"I met a girl. She asked her boyfriend to help me get in. β
"Oh, girl, so your boyfriend didn't beat you?"
"Why are you beating me. β
Ou Na put on a godly face, "I bet you met that girl in bed. β
"Yes, but the boyfriend didn't know. β
Ou Na is helping Traceka to buy a property, and is a merchant in charge of buying and selling real estate in a trading house. Due to labor problems, many farmlands and orchards near the town are in a state of semi-shutdown, and the income is more problematic, and they want to sell. In this country, the sale of land is a very perverse thing. Because most of the land was inherited from the ancestors.
Because of this, the few people in the town who are willing to sell their land are charging very high prices. I was also picky about buyers, so I haven't been able to sell it.
"Isn't it very smooth?" Zhou Shu asked.
Ou Na pouted helplessly, "It's not just that it's not going well. I found two of them yesterday, and they didn't want to sell to outsiders, and they didn't sell them if I paid more. β
"Why don't you sell outsiders?
"Not really. Ouna shook her head, "Don't think he's xenophobic just because you've been denied entry to town. The people here are still quite nice. The reluctance to sell to outsiders is due to self-esteem, which is difficult for you to understand. β
"Can you understand?"
"My family also sold land, and at that time it was sold to outsiders, and it made me feel bad for a while, as if my territory had been invaded by an enemy country. But I didn't feel too sad about that for too long. I was also sold two weeks later. β
Zhou Shu was speechless, he felt that he still didn't understand the unlucky guy in front of him. He was just about to ask about the land transaction, when he suddenly reacted to something.
"Wait, sold?!You've been a slave?"
"Not really. Ou Na shrugged, "Sold to a swordsman as a handyman, my dad is also a swordsman himself, and I had a decent childhood." After getting used to it, it doesn't hurt very much. β
"What have you adapted to!!"
Master Zhou felt that he couldn't chat with this guy, so he quietly accompanied her and waited for the businessman. The businessman is equivalent to a real estate agent, taking buyers to see houses and buy houses, but what Ou Na wants to buy is an orchard and a farm.
finally waited for someone, it was a neat and acute fat woman, as soon as she appeared, she took Ou Na to a manor on the outskirts of the town, and didn't ask Zhou Shu, who looked suspicious on the side.
Ou Na was also a bit anxious, and the two women were in a good temper, and after feeling the manor, they looked at the farmland and orchards and a large grove of undeveloped woods, and then went to the owner of the manor who sold the land to discuss the specific matters.
Zhou Shu had been standing beside him, looking like Ou Na's bodyguard. The family of the owner of the manor entertained Ou Na with a very good meal, although it was not up to dinner at three o'clock in the afternoon, but Ou Na was still very satisfied with a big meal.
"This gentleman should also sit down and eat, I am very good at this soup. β
The hostess of the manor politely let Zhou Shu sit down, but he had no intention of removing the face bandana, and kept poking at Ou Na's side. When Ou Na sat down, he also helped pull out the chair, looking like a particularly professional butler.
"You don't have to worry about him, he is not hungry. Let's talk about trading!"
Previously, Zhou Shu guessed that he would stay in the town for another day or two, which was based on the premise of a successful transaction. As long as she can help Tricska buy the property, it will take some time to help her prepare.
The book of Zhou was once destroyed by robbers because of giving gold to others. In fact, he didn't want Traceska to have a manor of this size. He wanted Ou Na to buy a smaller one, but there wasn't that much land for sale in the town to pick and choose from.
Ou Na thought that this kind of transaction should go very smoothly when one party does not treat money as an issue. After a little talk with the family, they offered to meet the man who had bought their land.
The family sold their land to pay off gambling debts, and their son gambled in the holy city and lost a very large amount of money, and the family was ready to sell the property to get his family. Then he settled down in the Temple City and lived. It stands to reason that they should be in great need of this money, but they are still slow to do things.
"Ms. Triska is pregnant and has limited mobility, which is why she asked me to be my surrogate. She loves the town and wants to settle here, and I can assure you that she is a very kind person. β
Ouna's assurances didn't work, and the owner of the manor was a bearded man who didn't look very good-tempered.
"I'm going to see the person who bought my ancestral business, and I'm going to ask her to take care of the horses on the farm. I don't want those little ones to starve to death by a pot-bellied woman. β
Ou Na was helpless. Since people's attitudes are so bad, she can't help it.
The hostess said more politely, "This lady, we have made an appointment with the priest of the town, and we hope that Miss Triska will have dinner with us to-morrow." The sale of land makes us nervous, and the priest will help us and help us make a decision. β
Her words were already clear, and they couldn't make up their minds whether to buy the ancestral estate to a foreign woman. A priest is needed for advice. Ou Na didn't want to delay the trip, saying that she didn't have much time. And Traceka is about to be produced. At most, it's five weeks, and she doesn't have the time to toss around anymore.
"Well...... "In that case," the mistress frowned, "in that case, perhaps you could take Miss Triska to the temple to-day and speak with the priest." I'm sure he will be able to help us make the right decision, and we will be able to close the deal tomorrow. β
Ouna is clear. It would take a while to buy such a large property, and it was beyond her expectations to be able to do so quickly. She didn't understand why the family had to ask the clergy to help them come up with ideas when they went to see the priest to sell a house, wasn't it a neurosis. But it can't be helped. She still promised the family of neurotics to go to the priest to take a look.
Zhou Shu tossed all the way, and then tossed back to the town. Traceska is learning to paint with Fincy, painting with her fingers in the paint, Zhou Shu thinks that Quexi should learn to use a paintbrush, this dirty way of painting is not suitable for pregnant women, God knows if there will be any harmful substances in those paints.
"To the temple?" Fincy and Trisca also didn't understand why they had to go through the temple to buy something. "Since the family asked for it, let's go for it. Mr. Zhou Shu, you better stay, what if the people in the temple ask you to take off your headscarf?"
Jianyi, who was in Quexi, reminded Zhou Shu, so he honestly stayed in the hotel room and waited for the girls to come back.
During this time, he had been staring at the very colored painting that Ou Na had drawn by the lake. He admired Ou Na a little, and thought that she was a very good woman, willing to work so hard for a traveling companion he didn't know. Not only that, but she is also very enthusiastic about Finsea, and without her help, Finsea's trip would not have been able to begin, and she has barely collected revenge along the way. Good people should have good rewards, but Ou Na looks like she is living a very hard life, which makes Zhou Shu feel a little uncomfortable.
He doesn't plan to meddle in Ou Na's life, at most give her a little money, so that her life can be more stable. He didn't want to buy a manor to house Tracea, but he really wanted Ou Na to take care of the manor, so that she could live in this town and live happily.
His idea was good, but it wasn't that easy to buy a manor.
The three girls returned from the temple, all three pretty faces with angry colors.
"What's wrong? I lost my wallet again?" Zhou Shu asked slightly.
"Hmph, the temple vampires. Que Xi put the new noun he learned when chatting with Zhou Shu the day before yesterday, "The great priest of the temple forced us to donate money to repair the temple and several sections of the road in the town, and asked us to pay for the paving of tens of thousands of square meters of stone roads, he is crazy for money!"
Zhou Shu didn't understand Quexi's words too much, and asked Ou Na, who was more chatty, about the specific situation.
The three girls went to the temple and found the priest of the manor. I want to ask him for help and get me the land. The priest was glad that the three of them had taken advantage of the land deal, and that it was not good, and that he should give some of the money to help the town and the temple.
Ou Na actually knew that this kind of thing would happen, but she didn't expect it. The priest had no idea of money.
"According to him, I would have enough to buy three more estates of the same size. Could that man be mentally retarded from the temple and pretending to be a priest there to play with us?"
Ou Na was talking angrily on the side, but they didn't talk about it, it should be said that they couldn't talk about it. The lord of the manor asked the group to talk again tomorrow, and the location was still the temple, and the last time they talkedβ
That night, Zhou Shu returned to the epidemic house on the outskirts of the city and returned to the yellow mud house. The little girl who volunteered was already lying on the plank bed. She was very happy to see Zhou Shu come back.
"I thought you forgot about your deal with me. β
Since the transaction was not very smooth, Zhou Shu was in a bad mood. As he undressed the girl, he asked, "Do you need a priest to be the middleman in your land dealing?" or have my friends and I met a liar?"
He seriously suspected that the owner of the manor did not want to sell the land at all, but conspired with the priest to defraud. Under the guise of selling land, people are deceived into going to the priest. Then they were forced to make donations. When it was time to make a deal, they reversed themselves. Abandon the transaction.
The little girl was pressed under Zhou Shu, and while gasping for breath, she opened her mouth to answer questions. There is indeed a tradition in the town of asking a priest to help judge when making large transactions.
"It's not that they conspired to deceive people, it's just that everyone trusts the priests, and without their wisdom to help, everyone feels uneasy. β
This little girl has very fair skin. She used to be a weaver and sat in front of a loom all day without getting the sun. She didn't have any experience sleeping with men, and she was very jerky, but Zhou Shu could see that she was trying to please herself.
Talk to her a little bit about being forced to donate. The little girl frowned.
"If you really take advantage of this transaction, it's not a big deal to donate some, right? Money is not a good thing, and donating it will make your life better. β
"Is it more difficult for a rich man to go to heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle?" Zhou Shu encountered a very familiar situation, with some black lines. He looked at the little girl who was talking cool under him and poked her twice. "You say money isn't a good thing, and you're doing this for them? Don't you have a boyfriend? β
The little girl seems to have been poked in the sore spot, which should be spiritual. "Sir, I hope you don't think of me as that kind of woman, I just want to help my boyfriend fulfill his dream. It takes a lot of money. β
But you're that kind of woman...... Zhou Shu wanted to complain, but it was too cruel for him to speak.
The little girl was not stupid, she knew that her sacrifice seemed to be a bit big, but she couldn't help it. Her boyfriend, like the other townsmen, wanted to leave for the Temple City. There is no prospect of development in the town, and all the young people are fleeing here.
The little girl couldn't follow him to the Temple City, so she had to find a way to keep him here. As long as you can buy a small piece of land and plant fruit trees to build a winemaking workshop, you should be able to keep a boyfriend.
Zhou Shu listened to this girl's words, and the things that were quite violent before softened directly in her body. It wasn't the first time he felt guilty when he did something like this, and this time it was especially strong, he felt as if he had been a bad person, the very bad one...... However, this girl's inside is comfortable enough, and the negative feelings brought by guilt are quickly broken by the comfort in the girl's body, and Zhou Shu feels that his lower limit has been refreshed again, and it is difficult to turn back...... (To be continued......)
