Chapter 1 Repayment of Debts
"Lin Dong, stop, it's you......! Stop for the old lady!"
As soon as the woman stretched out her hand, she held up the door that was about to close, and her blue eyes glared at the young man behind the door, murderous. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The landlady ......"
The young man peeked out of one eye from behind the door, and said in a concerned voice: "You take your hand away first, be careful to clip it." ”
"Fart! You little fox, as soon as the old lady lets go, you will close the door again, and then the sky will not open the door when the sky thunders, this trick of the turtle is rotten, open the door quickly!"
The woman pushed the door hard, but the boy had no choice but to let her in.
Lin Dong, a very ordinary home-based teenager, has the common pale face and thin body of otaku, he is usually very careful when he goes out, but he didn't expect such bad luck to catch the landlady.
The landlady circled the room like a hound, and the table, bed, and floor were piled with the cheapest manuscript paper, on which were drawn a bunch of alchemical symbols that she could not read.
Can you exchange money for this kind of mess that you don't do your job all day long?
She stared at the thin black-haired boy, her hands on her hips, and her toes on the ground nodded one by one: "Lin Dong, let's settle the score...... You should pay the rent you owe, and forty denarii for four months. ”
The snow-white palm stretched out to Lin Dong and asked for money.
The boy smiled, blinking innocently, trying to make his eyes look big and bright.
"Why are you looking at the old lady like this?" The landlady touched her cheek with some anxiety, and after making sure that there was nothing dirty on her face, she suddenly reacted: "You shouldn't have forgotten this matter, right?
Lin Dong scratched his head: "This ...... Landlord's wife, it's not that I don't pay rent, but I've been a little tight lately, can you please give me another month? Or half a month, I'm almost ready to find a job......
"Almost got a job?" The landlady looked at the thin young man in front of her suspiciously, and the words of looking for a job started from the first day that Lin Dong owed rent and dragged it on until now, so that the landlady felt that unless there was a miracle, the child was hopeless.
Her eyes suddenly noticed that Lin Dong's hand was behind him, as if he was hiding something.
"What's hidden behind it? ”
"No...... Don't!" Lin Dong flashed a little uneasily, but unfortunately with his thin body, he was the landlady's opponent, and he was robbed from his hand with three strikes and five divided by two.
The landlady glanced at the snatched piece of paper and was speechless.
"This ...... Is that the job you got you?"
On the piece of paper in her hand, a few lines were written crookedly with a black quill pen.
"Writing primary school students' homework, a copy of ten copper coins. ”
In addition, to pick up and drop off children to and from school, the cost is 20 copper coins per day,
You can also be hired as a round-the-clock bodyguard for 30 copper coins per day. (The basic functions are accompanied by the scene behind you, and if there is danger, an additional fee will be charged.) )
PS: The temporary boyfriend project has not been opened, please detour the beautiful dinosaurs. ”
One hundred copper coins of the empire is equal to one silver coin, and one hundred silver coins is equal to one imperial gold coin, which means that if Lin Dong wants to earn enough rent to pay, he has to help people copy at least four hundred homework......
Or do to pick up and drop off children to and from school for 200 days, or even as a bodyguard for more than 100 days.
Help students copy homework and pick up and drop off children......
Wash and sleep.
Bodyguard......
Look at his little arms and legs --
Absolutely, right, no, reliable, reliable!
As for acting as a boyfriend, this poor and homely boy can only have a ghost if a woman can take a fancy to him.
The landlady was speechless when she looked at the note.
Lin Dong took the initiative to explain: "I have posted it everywhere at the intersection, and I believe that there will be business coming to the door soon." ”
"Enough!"
The landlady took a deep breath, and in addition to highlighting Wei An's chest, she also suppressed the fire in her chest. She stretched out an index finger to Lin Dong and said viciously: "The old lady will show you a clear path...... In three days, you can either pay the rent or get out of the way for the old lady!"
Lin Dong's smile froze on his face with four white teeth exposed.
He knew that the landlady was not unkind, otherwise it would be impossible for him to live here for nearly four months, and Dolan City was a big city, and the price of the landlady's ten silver coins a month was fair, so he only hated his body......
Lin Dong knows his own problems, since he left the old man who raised him, his body has fallen into problems, he can't be tired, he will be sleepy when he is tired, and he will sleep all day.
It's not like I haven't looked for a job before, such as being an apprentice in a bakery, or dispensing medicinal herbs for the weird old men in the Wizards' Guild, or going back to my old job and doing some ordinary chemical formula calculations for those alchemists.
On the first day of the bakery, Lin Dong was tired and fainted in the store, and the store manager was almost scared to death, thinking that Lin Dong "died in the line of duty".
It didn't get much better to dispense medicine to the old man of the Wizards' Guild, and he fainted again because he was too tired from carrying too much medicine on the way.
Finally, when he woke up and sent the medicine, it was already two days later......
This efficiency is so efficient that even the most open-minded magician would not dare to invite him.
In the end, the old monsters of the alchemist are too, and when Lin Dong calculates a formula, it is better for them to do it themselves.
So dragging it down day by day, Lin Dong's wallet is cleaner than that of a woman who has stripped naked.
However, now there is no way to delay it anyway, the landlady has already given an ultimatum, and Lin Dong can't imagine how he will survive if he loses even this last "home".
Time, two days.
A way has to be figured out......
Lin Dong dragged his heavy steps and found his best friend in the blacksmith shop not far from his home.
This is a young man, with a chubby figure, which is reminiscent of a lazy creature like a koala, and his expression is squinting as if he hasn't woken up all day. The fat man's name is Liu Yi, of course, he has no perseverance at all, but he is Lin Dong's only friend in Dolan City.
"What? The landlady only gives you three days to raise money?"
On the face of the fat man's meat bun, his mouth opened into an "O" shape, "How many months do you owe rent to you?"
"Four months. ”
The fat man was speechless, and the expression on his face clearly said: You can really owe.
"Or ...... You can secretly move out tonight and live in my house. ”
Lin shook his head, he knew the situation of the fat man's family, he and his parents were crowded in a dilapidated house in the slum, he didn't want to cause trouble to his friends, and besides, the landlady let himself owe rent for so long, and it would be a bit unrighteous for him to escape.
"Fatty, you have a lot of ways, help me think about how I can earn forty silver coins in three days. ”
The fat man's body shook and he exclaimed, "You think too highly of me, if you want to do this good thing, I still have to work in the blacksmith shop!" No, wait......
He touched his chin, and his small eyes narrowed: "I heard from the adventurers in the shop the day before yesterday that there seems to be a 'great big guy' on the other side of the mountain, and they haven't planned to make a move yet, if you can hunt it, it will be a windfall." ”
On the other side of the mountain is the realm of Warcraft, and no one will go to such a dangerous place except for mercenaries and adventurers. Of course, high risk also means high reward, Warcraft can be sold for money, and the higher the grade, the higher the price.
However, with Lin Dong's body that is panting when he walks, it is better for him to go hunting than to find a piece of tofu and kill him. The fat man said this in pure joke.
"Hunting Demonic Beasts?" Lin Dong pursed his lips and fell silent.
The fat man couldn't help but be startled when he saw his expression, every time Lin Dong made this expression, he was about to make up his mind.
I still remember that half a year ago, I was bullied by several ruffians in the east of the city, and Lin Dong also had this expression, and after a few days, several ruffians who bullied me were inexplicably out of the situation.
From that time on, the fat man's heart trembled when he saw Lin Dong's expression.
