Chapter 217: The Girl
The voice was soft, with a slight tremor. In this noisy environment, it seems a little empty and lonely.
Zhuo Jiu couldn't help but be a little stunned, he wasn't sure if he had heard it wrong.
It's just that in his heart, he couldn't help but flash a hint of joy, and the smile on his face gradually began to pervert.
At the same time, I can't help but sigh, there are still so lawless places in this Star City, and someone is openly looking for someone to open a house on the street?
Thinking of this, he stopped and turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from, "What? ”
Under the eaves in the distance, a cowardly figure was wandering in place at a loss.
After a long time, she seemed to pluck up her courage again and asked in a low voice, "Sir, are you...... Open a house? ”
"Open a room?"
Zhuo Jiu asked in a low voice.
He was sure he had heard correctly.
"Oh no!"
Seeing Zhuo Jiu getting closer and closer, the figure instantly looked like a frightened rabbit, and suddenly ducked back, while still busy explaining, "I mean...... Do you need to open a room? ”
Her body trembled, and her hands were hung in front of her chest, like a child who had done something wrong.
Hearing her words, Zhuo Jiu couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "What did you say...... Let's stay at the hotel! ”
"That's right! Right! Stay! ”
His voice was full of relief, and then he became cautious again, "So...... Do you need to stay at the hotel? ”
"Rest assured, very clean, separate bathroom in the room, air conditioning, TV, price ...... It's also very cheap. ”
Zhuo Jiu lowered his head and thought to himself.
After all, it's not too early, and he really needs to find a place to settle down first. As for the conditions, he didn't pay much attention to it, after all, when he was wandering in the past, when he was most embarrassed, parks, bridges and caves were his accommodation.
Besides, tomorrow I will start to be busy for the stalls, and the necessary rest still needs to be guaranteed.
It's just the price......
Zhuo Jiu couldn't help but ask, "How many nights?" ”
As soon as the words came out, he realized the ambiguity in the middle.
Even if Zhuo Jiu prides himself on being thick-skinned, he can't help but blush, and hurriedly explains: "I mean...... How much does it cost to stay in this room for one night? ”
"It's not expensive! Just 100 a night! ”
A figure jumped out of the shadows and drew at Zhuo Jiubi, "Compared to those hotels around...... It's all cheap! ”
The long alley was deep, and Zhuo Jiu's attention couldn't help but be attracted by the figure in front of him.
It's a little girl.
It looks like he's probably in his teens.
Because the street lights were dim, Zhuo Jiuyi couldn't see her clearly for a while.
Vaguely, it should be a beautiful embryo, but the body looks a little thin and looks a little malnourished.
Even though the night was dark, her eyes were already shining with a strange light.
In that light, Zhuo Jiu could easily feel her emotions.
- Joy, anticipation, and even ...... Some suffer from gains and losses.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Jiu couldn't help but blush, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed of his previous dirty thoughts.
- He's still a kid.
His attention then returned to what the girl had said earlier.
"One hundred and one nights!"
It's really not very expensive, but for Zhuo Jiu now, it's a little expensive.
When he left earlier, he had made a rough count, excluding the money left in his pocket, plus the only change in the mobile payment app.
Add it all together, and it's just over your 3000s.
Take into account the expenditures.
Judging from his current situation, it is impossible to generate input in a short period of time if the stall starts with the customization of mobile food trucks, plus expenses such as ingredients, seasonings, and kitchenware.
As for the code word, although he has passed the guarantee, this month has just begun, even if he starts to code the word tomorrow, and when the manuscript fee comes down, it will be at least a month later......
Add to that the cost of accommodation...... No matter how you calculate it, it's a bit stretched.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Jiu's face couldn't help but flash a trace of hesitation.
The girl obviously saw the hesitation on his face, hurriedly stepped forward, pulled his cuffs, and said anxiously: "It's really cheap!" The price can be negotiable! ”
After thinking about it, she added: "80! As long as 80 is fine! ”
But Zhuo Jiu was still silent.
The girl's voice was visibly flustered, "60! If you stay a little longer, 60 a night will do! ”
Her hands clenched Zhuo Jiu's sleeves tightly, and there was obviously a bit of crying in her voice...... Or the desperation of disappointed hopes.
Zhuo Jiu also looked helpless.
Looking at the stubborn girl, the softness in his heart seemed to be touched by something, and finally turned into a wry smile on his face.
"Lead the way!"
- Pulling and pulling on the street like this, people who don't know what is going on think that is happening!
The girl's expression instantly became bright, and she hurriedly stepped forward and took the initiative to snatch Zhuo Jiu's backpack, "Okay! What a great man, sir! ”
Yes, he was issued a good guy card again.
The backpack was not big, but it was stuffed with scattered miscellaneous items, and when she took it suddenly, the girl also involuntarily stumbled a few steps.
But she still cherished the backpack in her arms and looked at Zhuo Jiu embarrassedly, "I'll help you get it, it's not heavy at all!" You just follow me, my store is in front, just a few steps away! ”
It's just that this voice, how to listen to it, how weak the heart.
Zhuo Jiu smiled helplessly, judging from this situation, her store was either far away, or in some corner, so she came to this intersection to intercept customers.
It's like waiting for a rabbit.
It's just this cold winter......
Although it has not snowed in Star City in the past few days, the successive rainy days still make this air flow with a cold atmosphere.
The girl's figure shuttled between light and shadow, stopping from time to time to stomp her feet and breathe, her face was full of heartfelt satisfaction.
Zhuo Jiu noticed that she seemed to be wearing a school uniform. It's just that it looks a little shabby, and the clothes have long since begun to fade, looking a little pale and bland.
Slowly following behind the girl, Zhuo Jiu inadvertently asked, "Are you still ...... Student? ”
"Yes, student." The girl replied without thinking.
Obviously, this is not the first time she has answered such a question, so it seems that she is a little familiar with it.
"But I'm not a child laborer, I'm just helping my family...... Voluntary labor. ”
"Okay! Yes! Voluntary labor! Zhuo Jiu couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Then, the two fell silent at the same time, except for the "rustling" footsteps, which echoed in the long streets and alleys from time to time......
It's just that this silence didn't last long, and after a while, the girl slowed down and came to Zhuo Jiu's side.
"By the way, Agassi, where are you from?"
The girl asked cautiously, leaning over her side.
