Chapter 113: Hard Collection?
The hut was dimly lit, damp and stuffy, dirty, mosquitoes flying, and there were a dozen or so big beggars covered with acne lying lying horizontally, catching lice, all in tattered clothes, covered with skin and bones, and from time to time a few bold rats would run past them, causing the beggars to scratch for a while, and they all went out to catch them, and shouted 'meat...' in their mouths.
There was only one piece of furniture in the whole room, it was a small table made of broken bricks, and beside it sat a little girl of eleven or twelve years old, with dark skin and thin body, her little face was dark and she could not see her face, and the gray men's robe full of patches was very neatly sewn by her, although it was also unkempt but much cleaner than the beggars around her, and she was concentrating on sewing something.
It was an ugly earthy yellow linen cloth, embroidered with a colorful chrysanthemum, because the colored thread was not enough, it was all picked up in a short section, and it was not good-looking, like a strange trumpet flower.
"Hee-hee... Brother Remnant Ju, you're here. When the girl saw the remnant chrysanthemum entering, she suddenly stood up, hid the linen cloth under the table, took two steps to meet it, and said excitedly.
Remnant Ju shook the green silk of her sideburns, chuckled handsomely, and snorted, "Yo~ I don't see Heimei again and it is dark again, haha, come and let my brother see if the two front teeth have grown?"
The girl was not angry, she smiled and opened her small mouth, but she was really missing two front teeth, which was a bit ugly.
Hei Mei hugged Remnant Ju's arm and smiled ugly, "Hehe... It hasn't grown yet. Huh, Brother Juju, why are those aunts gone? Are you waiting for you at the door because this place is dirty?"
When Remnant Ju heard her ask about those eldest ladies, her face twitched instantly, and she was extremely angry, she poked her orchid finger on Hei Mei's forehead, barely squeezed out a smile, and said, "Hehe, are they waiting for me at home......"
Then he looked left and right, teased the surrounding children, quietly pulled Hei Mei to the corner of the house, and asked in a low voice, "How is the arrangement?
Hei Mei's smiling face instantly condensed, lowered her head, and said ashamedly, "Two hundred taels of silver were only arranged for five, the silly girl was sent to Zhang Yuanwaifu to be a maid, Dan Dan was sent to the Zhao family as a companion reading boy, and Mao'er was sent to the Wang family's iron shop as an apprentice...... They are all little beggars, and others will feel disgusted at a glance, so there are more silver dual-use, plus two eggs, and there are hundreds of little beggars. There are too many people, it's not easy to arrange, and ...... needed"
When he said this, he couldn't say it anymore, he was extremely ashamed, and he kept his head down.
Remnant Ju took out a ring on his right hand, took out a thick silver ticket, quietly stuffed it into Hei Mei's hand, and whispered, "This is 10,000 taels, you contact the two eggs in the east of the city, the dog in the north of the city, and the old pockmark in the east of the city, and divide it with them, arrange it first, and then talk about it when I earn two silver taels." β
Hei Mei's whole body trembled, but she didn't dare to answer, raised her head, and hurriedly whispered, "What is going on, Brother Remnant Ju is kind-hearted, I know, but you have just come to Heavenly City, how can you..."
Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Remnant Ju.
Remnant Ju stranded sideburns and said solemnly, "Don't say much, quickly put it into the necklace, it's not too difficult to earn a silver tael according to my means, you just do what I tell you..."
Seeing his solemn face, Hei Mei thought of his ability again, and his heart was relieved, the little black hand reached into his chest, and pulled out a delicate chrysanthemum-style pendant, the pendant was not big, the size of a red bean, and it was tied with ordinary ropes, how could a little beggar like her have such a delicate necklace, and it was also a storage vessel?
Remnant Ju nodded and chuckled, but he had a matter on his mind, and his heart was suddenly happy, and he shook out a folding fan and fanned it twice.
"Okay, I can't stay here for a long time, I'll come back in two days... Oh... Stay safe!" and turned to leave.
"Wait... Waitβ" Black Rose hurriedly shouted behind her, and then trotted to the table, picking up the sackcloth from under the table, but did not get up, as if she was hesitating about something.
Remnant Ju was behind her, not knowing what she was doing, she took two steps forward curiously and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Hei Mei shook her head, sighed, laughed at herself, put the linen cloth back under the table, turned up, faced the remnant chrysanthemum, and said with a ugly smile, "Hehe... It's okay, it's okay, brother, let's go, the ladies are still waiting for you at home. β
"Uh... Okay, I'm flashing..."Remnant Ju looked depressed and teased the little beggars and walked out of the door.
Just as everyone was waiting to send off the remnant chrysanthemum, a light wind suddenly hit.
Remnant Ju's heart trembled, his face instantly froze, looking around, but it was quiet, the archer's vision was so vast, only with the afterglow to glance, although the yellow Xuan Qi was extremely fast, but it could not escape his eyes.
Remnant Ju looked at Hei Mei and said solemnly, "Don't ask more, take everyone into the house..."
Seeing this, Hei Mei felt that something was wrong, and she didn't dare to ask more, so she beckoned the little beggars to go back to the house one after another.
Remnant Ju looked at the well in the courtyard, shook off the iron fan, revealing the sharp blade, and laughed, "Hehe, Your Excellency is a good body, so slippery, and the mossy well wall can also hide, a certain family is eye-opening." β
Three breaths, no one answered.
"Bang~" Remnant Ju opened a positive green Xuan Qi, and laughed again, "Hey... Dude, you're too idiot, and the corners of your clothes are still exposed, and you're too unprofessional..."
Tang Fei and Lan Ruomeng were lying on the roof and laughing, they had confirmed that the barefoot man was the 'Instant Flash' Mo Kai. He was also hiding in the well at the moment, but the corners of his clothes were exposed outside the well, and Remnant Ju found him, but he didn't come out, but he just pulled the corners of his clothes down.
Lan Ruomeng smiled coquettishly in Tang Fei's ear, "Giggles... Fool, since he was discovered, he still can't come out, what an idiot, laughing at his aunt and grandmother..."
Tang Fei chuckled, but he didn't think it was funny, but he thought it was funny, turned his face sideways, and almost touched Lan Ruomeng's face.
smiled, "yes, what an idiot, brain-dead to ......"
Lan Ruomeng nodded again and again, and laughed twice.
Tang Fei continued to laugh, "I can't even see that he did it on purpose, do you think you are an idiot?"
When Lan Ruomeng heard this, his little face suddenly froze, and he glared angrily, and at this time, he was hidden and couldn't attack, and bit Tang Fei's wrist.
Tang Fei grinned in pain, and really wanted to slap her away, but he endured it again, "... You're a dog?"
A tooth mark that was deeply visible was left on Tang Fei's right wrist, and he wiped the saliva from it with disgust, with a look of contempt.
......
At this time, there was silence in the courtyard, and Remnant Ju sneered disdainfully, it had been confirmed that there was someone hiding in the well, and it was a Xuan Soul level Xuan Master, but the people who came didn't know whether they were friends or foes, but they couldn't shoot at will.
While cautiously approaching, he sneered, "Hey... Dude, it's all leaked, and you haven't come out yet?
Still no one answered.
Remnant Ju approached three meters from the well, his face froze, and he issued an ultimatum, "If you don't come out again, don't blame a certain family for being ruthless, let you stay in this well forever..."
......
