Chapter 249: Defection

One afternoon, the tavern owner led an old man and a child to knock on Gu Huai's door.

When he entered the house, Gu Huai sat on the green grass in the courtyard, cross-legged and watched Gu Muxi scrape the bones of the giant rat.

The tavern owner's weapons are selling very well, and Gu Muxi is really in short supply when he works alone.

Gu Huai had plans to hire someone, but it was too dangerous to find a stranger for such a thing as a weapon.

It's not that he's in danger, it's strangers who are in danger.

"Gu Huai, these two people said they were looking for you."

The tavern owner looked at the bottles and cans all over the place, and for a moment thought he had arrived at the garbage dump in Ang Triangle.

"What do you want all this bone meal for?"

The tavern owner stared at it for a long time, but he still couldn't help but ask.

He hadn't bothered Gu Huai for a long time, and he always felt that the other party was busy making weapons, so it was inconvenient to disturb him. Who would have thought that Gu Huai was indeed very busy, but he was not busy making weapons, but busy scraping bones.

"Keep this bone meal so that the people of the upper city can change places with us when the time comes."

The tavernkeeper resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

Uptowners to Downtown?

I don't know if Gu Huai is dreaming or his ears are dreaming, this is simply impossible.

The tavernkeeper didn't dwell on it.

"Gu Huai, these two people said that you are kind to them, you have to come to you, I have seen that they really have no weapons on them, you see if you want to keep them."

Gu Huai glanced sideways.

It was the old man and his little grandson who were saved last time.

"What's the use of keeping you here?"

He saves people and saves people, but he is not good enough to be charitable.

The old man glanced at the ground, and his head was very bright: "I can help you clean and cook, my little grandson has a lot of strength, and he is good at scraping bones, I don't believe you let him try." ”

Gu Huai glanced at the child who was not very old, and felt that no matter how strong he was, it was no more than that.

But he happens to have a few people here, so it's good to keep the two of them down. After all, the two of them estimate that they only need to take care of food, and they don't need salaries.

"Stay." Gu Huai said, "Take this recipe and take a look, and you can eat it wherever you turn to it in the future, and let the tavern owner buy the dishes." ”

The old man's excited hands trembled slightly, and he held the book and said in a loud voice that Gu Huai was a good person. The tavernkeeper next to him had his face blackened to ashes.

Why is he going to buy groceries again? Why did he get into so much trouble for himself?

Gu Huai: "By the way, you cook a little more when you cook, and send a copy to the tavern owner when it's ready." ”

The tavernkeeper immediately felt like he was coming back alive.

He has a headache every day about what the two rabbit cubs at home eat, and if someone can cook for him, he can spare more than two hours a day to chat with others.

In this way, half an hour of grocery shopping time is just a drizzle.

Thinking of this, the tavern owner agreed very happily.

It was a foregone conclusion that the old man and the child stayed here with Gu Huai.

After the introduction of the old man, Gu Huai knew that the old man had no name, everyone called him Lao You, but the child had a name, called Gou Yu.

It's better not to have a name.

Gu Huai will sooner or later take Gu Muxi and Gou Yu out together, and when the time comes, Gu Muxi will sound like the heroine of a romance novel, and Gou Yu will sound like cannon fodder in the literature of the era, and it is really disobedient to put them together.

He thought about it for a moment and changed the name of the dog.

You don't have a device.

Gou Yu didn't have much feeling about what his name was, but Gu Huai was able to change his name, which made him feel valued.

He thanked him happily and went to Gu Muxi to show off.

After listening to what Jun Buqi said for a long time, Gu Muxi turned around and stood in front of Gu Huai angrily, very dissatisfied: "Dad! ”

Gu Huai rubbed her head: "Your name was originally chosen by me, and you don't need to change it." ”

Gu Muxi became happy at this time.

Someone helped to do things, Gu Huai's speed of making weapons was further accelerated, and after accumulating a batch of inventory, he suspended what he was doing.

"It's time for us to go to Ang Triangle."

Those who know know that Gu Huai is talking about a garbage dump, and those who don't know think that he is going to inspect where.

These days, the people in charge of catching giant rats are Zhang Wei and Li San. Their skills are not bad, and they spend all their time in the giant rat nest, which makes them more agile.

When Gu Huai and Gu Muxi came to the garbage dump, they were jumping around on the garbage mountain, and Zhang Tan was applauding them below.

Seeing Gu Huai, Zhang Wei jumped over from the garbage mountain, his face full of joy. And Li San is even more, and even he has a little flattery on his face.

Since the casino trip, Zhang Wei's attitude towards Gu Huai has changed 360 degrees, and after Gu Huai made a weapon and showed up to help them beat up the robber at a critical moment, Zhang Wei's attitude towards Gu Huai has changed more thoroughly.

As for Li San, he listened to Bahuiwei praise Gu Huai every day, and it was strange that he didn't show such an expression.

Children, Mu Qiang's psychology is sometimes heavier than that of adults.

"Uncle, is the giant rat enough? We've caught a few here. Zhang Wei scratched his head, "Now the giant rats here have been almost caught by us, and they are not easy to find." ”

Li San nodded frantically.

Zhang Tan obediently handed the bag containing the giant rat to Gu Huai.

Gu Huai didn't answer, and asked Gu Muxi to take it: "Have you seen anything strange recently, or have you seen anything different next to the original giant rat's nest?" ”

"Nope." Zhang Wei scratched his head, "It's the same as usual, it's dirty and smelly, it's no different." ”

Li San nodded frantically.

"Let's say, there's something black, or something like that."

Gu Huai took out a glass bottle about the size of his little thumb and showed Zhang Wei the black powder inside.

Zhang Wei took a serious look, and just wanted to say no, Li San pulled the back collar of his clothes.

"Actually, there are, there have been a lot of black stones lately."

Zhang Wei patted his brain: "Yes, there is really something to say." Uncle, you wait for me for two minutes, and I'll break a piece to show you. ”

In less than two minutes, Zhang Wei went and returned.

He pinched such a triangular stone in his hand and handed it to Gu Huai:

"There's been a lot of this stuff in the garbage in the upper city lately, and I don't know what it's for, I've never seen it before."

This is not uptown garbage.

Gu Huai knew it in his heart. This was the food for the giant rats before, and it was the reason why Downtown couldn't use magic.

In the same area, why is it okay to use magic in the upper city, but forbidden magic in the lower city.

To put it another way, what is it that makes the upper and lower cities so clearly divided?

Naturally, the people of the upper city did not have the ability to control whether an area could use magic, otherwise they would not be in a hurry to destroy the lower city.

Since it wasn't their means, it was natural to be able to go down to the city and not use magic.

In other words, there is a natural factor that has caused the current situation in the upper and lower cities.
