Chapter 21: Wanted

【Upper Spiritual Temple】

In summer, the morning sun has just awakened the sleeping city, and the streets are already full of people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Jiao Qi, who had that little bit of caution, had already gotten up, since he met the little girl Yaoyao on the riverbank, he was now thinking about how to see her again, and he couldn't help but have the idea of wandering around the streets of Guiyuan City every day.

But when he thought about it, he felt that this would not work. Let's not talk about whether this kind of strategy is useless, even if he really meets Yaoyao again, will he continue to let Yaoyao take him to eat this time, then what is the difference between this and cheating and cheating. Don't look at Jiao Qi's thin physique, dark complexion and lack of ambition, but his self-esteem is as strong as his persecution paranoia, unusually strong. Having said that, recalling the last time Yaoyao took him to dinner, Jiao Qi is still a little shy now, the first time a girl pulled him like this, Jiao Qi's whole person almost didn't fly, he had secretly made up his mind not to wash his hands for a month, and he wanted to keep it as a souvenir.

On the other hand, if he hadn't met Yaoyao, would he have wandered around the streets of Guiyuan City alone, according to the nature of a foodie like himself, he couldn't resist the temptation of food at all, and walking around the streets full of food for half a day without money was as painful as sentencing him to life imprisonment.

Not having a penny in his pocket is the biggest problem he faces now.

He and Jiao Ba have been eating and drinking in Shangling Courtyard for more than half a month, and the fifth old gentleman is not related to him, so it is not a long-term solution to go on like this. Although the five old gentlemen never gave them any opinions, Mokpo also talked to him and told him to live here with peace of mind to recuperate. But it may be because of the successive incidents between the Passage Inn and Seven Birds City, and the people around him disappeared one after another without eating, which made Jiao Qi feel a sense of security, and the feeling of unrest in his heart always lingered, and he was always afraid that he would be on the streets again at any time, alone.

"It would be nice if the boss was here, he's so powerful, I don't have to think about anything, just follow him. Jiao Qi couldn't help but think like this, he may not have noticed that he had unknowingly developed a sense of dependence on Jiao Er.

Since he was attacked in the Seven Birds City and fell unconscious, Jiao Qi has never seen or even heard anything about Jiao Er. But in the past half a month, Jiao Qi still thinks of his second boss Jiao from time to time.

In Jiao Qi's mind, Jiao Qi is a weirdo with excellent martial arts and can do whatever he wants.

Since the first meeting, Jiao Qi has been complaining about Jiao Er in his heart, feeling that he is unreliable, that he is paralyzed and boring, and that he is nervous. But even though Jiao Qi's heart was full of 110,000 question marks about his present and future life, he actually knew very well that if Jiao Er hadn't saved him from the hands of the beggar boss that day, he might have already become a pile of bones, where would he still have his life here to complain and doubt life. It was Jiao Er, the strange uncle who made him feel nervous, who gave him the opportunity to continue living, and it was Jiao Er who saw the loneliness in his heart and gave Jiao Qi the only gift he had received since he was born. Jiao Qi is not good at words, and he didn't express his gratitude to Jiao Er with too many words, but he has always kept all this firmly in his heart.

Although he had never seen with his own eyes how powerful Jiao Er was, he had heard Mu Pu say that Jiao Er was the number one fire envoy in the world, and he felt that the number one should be the invincible and most powerful one in the world. So he never worried about Jiao Er's safety, not because he didn't care, but because he didn't feel the need.

What he was afraid of was that Jiao Er didn't keep him in mind at all, and just like Boss Ding, he would never return. He kept silently telling himself in his heart that in two more days, as long as it was two more days, Jiao Er would naturally find him again. Jiao Qi didn't know if this was a kind of blind fanatical worship or a psychological comfort to escape from himself.

But what if I really can't see Boss Jiao Er again?

After he left Pingsha City with Jiao Er, he found for the first time that there was a person like Jiao Er who could be relied on, and he was a hooligan with a dead face, eating and drinking, because that was when he trusted Jiao Er in his heart. But now that Jiao Er is not by his side, only the next person is left, he is not desperate. A person's life is not so terrible for him, after all, he grew up in this helpless environment since he was a child, this is the state of his real life, and it is a situation that he is very familiar with.

I can only make money on my own to support myself.

But then a new question arose, where should I go to make money, Jiao Qiyi had a little bit of a head for a while. I don't have any skills, and I used to do some simple manual work in the Passage Inn. It's also embarrassing to say, he was accidentally discovered by Boss Ding on the side of the road by starvation, and then found his first job at the Passage Inn. He hadn't gotten a job in earnest, so wouldn't he have to go hungry on the street again?

Jiao Qi thought about it and still didn't have a clue, so he simply didn't care about it, "Whatever, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, I'll try it first."

Although he thought it was very good, when he really got to the street, looking at the rows of shops and the bustling crowd, he was confused again, and he didn't know where to start. In the end, Jiao Qi gritted his teeth and was ruthless, "Hmph, whatever, take one step at a time", picked a store with his eyes closed, and walked in directly.

This is a shop that sells clothes, and as soon as Jiao Qi entered the door, the proprietress greeted him warmly: "Hey, this little brother, come to buy new clothes to wear? Look at this, the material of this piece is 100% pure spirit silk, warm in winter and cool in summer, you know, now the [sacred mountain] of the wood clan has been sealed, and the materials of all kinds of spirit beasts are particularly in demand, and the batch of goods you see is also the last batch of goods I took when I happened to catch up, my price is the lowest price, and you can't find anything cheaper than this anywhere now. ”

Jiao Qi was choked by the enthusiasm of this proprietress, and the extraordinary courage when he said before when he took a step and looked at a step flew directly out of the clouds, his eyes dodged around, and he didn't dare to look directly at the proprietress: "I...... I'm just going to take a look."

Seeing Jiao Qi's appearance of wanting to speak, the proprietress thought that this young man was shy and embarrassed to say, so she picked another one and introduced it to him: "It's okay, you don't like that, there are many others, you see this piece, not only the style is novel, the price is also very cost-effective, even if you don't like it for half a year, it's not a pity to throw it away, it's very suitable for you fashionable young people." “

How did the proprietress know that she had actually only guessed half of it, and Jiao Qi was so said that he couldn't open his mouth at all, so he turned around and fled the store quickly. The proprietress had never seen such a strange customer, but she still didn't give up and shouted behind him: "Hey, even if you buy this back as an investment, you can make a sure profit, you look at it again, I don't like these styles, I have other ...... in the warehouse"

Jiao Qitou walked a long distance without looking back, until he could no longer hear the voice of the proprietress, and then he gradually stopped, still flustered in his heart.

Jiao Qi sighed deeply. "Hey, forget it, it seems that the job search thing should be postponed a little longer. ”

Jiao Qi put aside the matter of finding a job for the time being, and he was aimless, so he was unfamiliar with his life, so he had to walk to the south embankment of [Guiyuan City] again.

After a while, he arrived at the South City Gate, and when he got out of this gate, there was the South Embankment outside, and Jiao Qi seemed to have vaguely heard the surging movement of the river.

Then he suddenly saw a group of people gathered at the city gate, pointing at something on the wall.

Jiao Qiyi knew at a glance that it must be an advertisement for all kinds of recruitment, leasing, and buying and selling transactions. He has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and Pingsha City also has it, but the most posted in Pingsha City is not an advertisement, but countless wanted. It is no exaggeration to say that half of Jiao Qi's literacy is recognized from these wanted notices, murder, arson, robbery, rape, all kinds of cruel crimes, Jiao Ke has not seen less. This is also the reason why Jiao Qi's paranoia of being killed is particularly serious.

Jiao Qi thought to himself, it just so happens that I want to find a job now, so I might as well go over and have a look. The crowd surrounded the layers of layers, but fortunately, Jiao Qi's body was thin and small, and he squeezed into the innermost part of the crowd by swaying left and right.

Finally got inside, Jiao Qiyi looked up, and it turned out that it was really as he expected, the bulletin board on the city wall was full of various notices, but these were not the focus of onlookers' concerns. Jiao Qi looked at the few notices that people were talking about, and it turned out to be several wanted notices, and the person who was the first in line in these wanted notices, Jiao Qi, actually knew, was the old man who rode a green cone to greet them when he first arrived in Seven Birds City, and took Jiao Er away. And the reason he was wanted was to rebel against the envoys and assist the Hades.

Jiao Qi also heard the crowd of onlookers say, "I heard that the Seven Bird City has been breached, and now there are corpses and ruins everywhere. My fourth uncle was blessed with a great life, and he was lucky enough to pick up a life from Seven Birds City and came back, but my fourth aunt and their children did not have this good luck and failed to escape. Fourth Uncle He now has nightmares every night, and occasionally chatters during the day. It's just that these beasts and the Hades Temple should be together, otherwise where would the Seven Fowl City be so easily breached, and these people should die!"

Only then did Jiao Qi realize that the Seven Bird City was gone, and he was a little flustered in his heart, and suddenly he was a little worried about Jiao Er. He hurriedly read the wanted notice, and suddenly fixed on the last wanted notice, only to feel a tingling in his scalp, and a lightning bolt in his head. Jiao Qi couldn't believe his eyes at all, because on the wanted notice in front of him, the wanted person was none other than Mupo, whom he hadn't seen for a few days!
