Chapter Seventy-Seven: You're Here to React! (Ask for subscription)
Nine o'clock in the evening.
They had been walking for almost a day, and within an hour, they had not found a suitable hotel.
It was already completely dark.
At night, the streets of Demacia were as lively as ever, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with them.
Moses was too sleepy to walk, and her feet were probably starting to hurt, but even then she was struggling.
Moff's own feet hurt too, and I'm afraid the three partners weren't much better.
A few people can still chat happily in the afternoon, imagining the future.
But at this moment, he didn't have much strength to speak.
Half past nine in the evening.
I felt that my friends couldn't walk anymore.
So Moff asked everyone to take a break.
A few children squatted in front of the wall, because it had rained before, and the ground was wet, and they did not dare to sit down.
I was so tired that I couldn't stand it, so I simply didn't care about it and sat down.
Moses leaned on his shoulder and fell asleep, his little face dirty, but he slept peacefully.
The other three partners shrugged their heads with little strength.
In fact, I didn't eat much for dinner, after all, a bowl of meatless broth and a bread can fill the stomach.
In addition, I did all the physical work today, and I can say that I am tired, sleepy and hungry at this time.
"Why don't we go to the hotel we used to have, three silver coins a night."
"yes, don't we have enough money?"
"But I'm a little hungry and want to eat."
"I'm so tired"
Leaning against the wall, several people were so demoralized that they couldn't speak loudly.
Moff sat there, head bowed and silent.
Is this the world of adults?
There was a puddle in front of him, and the light here was good, and when you looked down, you could see your face upside down.
Equally dirty.
He looked at himself in the water, at his immature face.
He has the advantage of being able to recognize reality.
Today I worked hard for a day, and I earned four silver coins and five people.
They could indeed find a place to stay at night, if they wished, but they would have to start all over again tomorrow.
With them now, it's okay to stick to it for one day, two days, three days.
But what about four days, five days?
Today's experience is enough for him to realize that the world of adults is not easy to mix at all.
Turning his head to look at his three companions, he could see that they were all holding on, and none of them wanted to say that they missed the church first.
Looking at Moses who was asleep again, she was very young, only five years old.
Even though he was very unwilling in his heart, Mov had to recognize a reality, he was not capable of changing his current situation now.
Gently lifted Moses into place, letting her rest on the shoulder of her other partner.
Moff stood up and walked towards a place.
This move made the three partners raise their heads, a little puzzled.
", why are you going?"
"?"
's back disappeared around the corner, and the three of them didn't have the strength to get up and chase after them, so they lowered their heads and continued to wait.
They believed that would not leave them behind.
Moff walked along the road with his head bowed.
"What's wrong? Going to give up? Isn't this the adult world you've always dreamed of? ”
A voice rang out.
Moff stopped, raised his head, and looked at the man standing in front of him, he had never left, and had been watching silently.
Biting his lip, held back his grievances vigorously.
He didn't dare to go any further, because he knew that no one wanted to get used to him anymore except his parents.
Lu Qi took two steps forward, smiled and stretched out his hand, rubbing Move's head: "You are still so young, don't always think about being an adult." ”
These words easily broke through Move's psychological defenses.
He couldn't hold it anymore, and tears welled up in his eyes like rain.
Throwing herself into Luffy's arms, Moff burst into tears.
"I don't want to trouble my aunts and uncles."
"I don't want to be a burden anymore!"
"I don't want to be thrown away again!"
He was scared, scared of what he least wanted to go through, to go through a second time.
As long as he can earn money, he will no longer be a burden, and if this is the case, his mother may not have abandoned him in the first place.
If that's the case, will the uncles and aunts in the church be happy, right?
He was the eldest of the children, so he was going to protect Moses, he was going to protect everyone.
He wants to make a lot of money, and no one will be abandoned again.
But
But why is this happening?
This time, Lu Qi just listened quietly, until Mov was unable to cry and stopped, and then asked, "How much do you think, a lot of money?" ”
sobbed a few times, thought for a while and said, "Ten or thirty gold!" ”
He hadn't seen how much thirty gold was.
But there must be a lot.
Otherwise, Mom and Dad wouldn't have quarreled over it.
Thirty gold must change a lot of things.
"It's my first personal soldier, why are you so unambitious."
Lu Qi glanced at him, put his hands behind his back, and said inscrutablely, "I can make you earn a thousand gold, believe it or not." ”
Moff asked blankly: "One thousand gold, how much?" ”
This was beyond his concept.
Glancing at him again, Lu Qi thought for a moment and described it appropriately: "As for the candy you like to eat, if you eat five pieces a day, you can eat it for a hundred years." ”
"One Hundred Years"
's mouth was wide open, he only knew that a year was already a long time.
Those 100 years must be a long, long time.
That thousand gold, there must be a lot.
This made him a little unconfident: "Can I earn so much?" ”
Without answering, Luqi asked, "Do you believe me?" ”
Hearing this question, Moff replied without hesitation: "Letter! ”
"Then you can trust me."
Lu Qi patted him on the head and said, "Go and call your little friend over, today's life experience ends here." ”
Moff groaned, turned around and ran away.
After a while, he called the rest of his friends over.
And Luci has a carriage ready here.
on the carriage.
Looking at the five children who had just fallen asleep after lying down.
Lux sighed and touched Moses' hair in distress.
This is the world, which is unfair in itself.
She also saw that this was not the willful behavior of a few children.
They're just innocent and don't want to cause any more trouble for the adults.
This day is just a journey for their young self-esteem.
"You say you have a way, what is it?"
She looked at Lu Qi curiously.
He said that he could help Mov and them make money, and even she could see that Luci was not joking at the time.
Lu Qi smiled and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to ask, I don't know if I can do it myself." ”
Lux said, "Then you dare to guarantee that?" ”
"It's a big deal to fill in by yourself, and you should give love."
Lu Qi smiled indifferently.
A thousand gold is a lot to others, but it is just a drop in the bucket for him.
Even if you can't do this method yourself, you can pay for it yourself when the time comes.
This is not a temporary idea of Lu Qi, but he has some vague ideas for a long time, but it is only today that he has completely implemented them.
And I think it's quite appropriate.
What drove Mov to leave the church?
A large part of it is due to self-esteem.
Maybe it was what Luch said before, which impressed Mov very much.
He doesn't want to be a burden anymore, he doesn't want to just get and not give, so he wants to prove himself by earning money.
In that case, wouldn't it be better to think of a way for them to work and earn money?
The carriage stopped at the Illuminator Chapel.
Hearing the commotion outside, several illuminators in white robes stepped out, along with Kahina and Fiona.
After learning the news in the afternoon, I was not so anxious.
However, there are still some worries about a few children.
Wake up the five children in the car, and when they get out of the carriage, they see the lighters who have come to pick them up.
A few children dodged their gazes.
It was Morf who was the first to stand up and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, we shouldn't have left without permission." ”
With him taking the lead, the rest of the children also apologized.
But it's all from the heart, and I was just embarrassed before.
The illuminators who understand the intentions of these children running away from home are naturally reluctant to blame these sensible children, but they are still very distressed.
They have no parents, so they can only learn to be sensible so early.
After taking the Mov into the house, washing them up, and then filling their stomachs, he arranged for them to sleep well.
At this time, in the backyard of the church.
Kahina looked at the side of Luci's face, and the moonlight shone down, and the chiseled face looked very good.
After a few glances, Kahina suddenly remembered the purpose of calling Lu Qi, and said seriously: "Your Highness, I want to thank you this time." ”
She knew that Luki had followed them from the beginning to the present in order to untie the knot in their hearts.
It can be said that it is very troublesome.
"It's okay, I'm idle."
Lu Qi said with a smile.
He turned his head to look at the girl next to him, and he could see the tiredness of a tired day on her face, she was indeed a kind-hearted girl, and she blamed herself for a long time for the five of them to worry.
Kahina saw Luki turn her head and make eye contact, and she hurriedly looked away.
Then she sat quietly on the bench, and the moonlight fell on her pretty face.
"That's right." Suddenly thinking of something, Lu Qi reached out and groped in his arms, then took out a box and handed it over, "This is for you." ”
Kahina took it suspiciously, curious: "What is this?" ”
As she spoke, she opened the box and immediately saw a beautiful necklace inside.
My heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"For me?"
Kahina couldn't help but confirm.
"Of course, the price is not expensive, just a little thought." Lu Qi nodded, "It feels like it suits you very well, and I'm going to give it to you in the afternoon." ”
"It's beautiful."
Kahina's ears turned red unconsciously, and she felt the temperature on her face rise, and her heartbeat increased suddenly.
She is the lady of the richest family, what precious necklace has not been seen?
Even priceless necklaces have been worn, and now there are almost no necklaces that can make her heart flutter.
But at this moment, for some reason, looking at the necklace in front of me, the price can't even exceed 100 gold, my heart beats fast.
Just as he was about to say something more, he heard a sound of footsteps.
Frightened, Kahina hurriedly put the box away.
"You're over here!"
Lux, well-fed and in a good mood, trotted in.
Fiona followed.
Both of them had dinner in the church, and they didn't go back to eat after all.
Of course, although the dishes are very ordinary, they are not picky.
But Luki is different, he is a picky eater, so he doesn't eat much.
Prepare to go back in the evening and reward yourself with a little late-night snack.
When Lu Qi saw that everyone had arrived, he said, "It just so happens that you are all here, I have an idea, I wonder if you are interested in hearing it?" ”
Hearing this, Fiona looked at her with interest and sat down.
And Lux thought of what Luqi had said in the carriage before, and nodded expectantly.
Kahina asked, "What's your idea?" ”
"An idea that might change the church's economic crisis."
Lucci replied.
Kahina nodded, and also quieted down, waiting for Luci to continue.
Lu Qi cleared his throat and asked, "What do you think, what about the newspaper?" ”
"Newspapers?"
The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw puzzlement in each other's eyes.
And Lu Qi went on to explain: "It is something that combines the many deeds of Demacia on a single piece of paper and publishes them so that the whole king and even the whole of Demacia can see them." ”
After observing the royal capital for so long, Lucie found that Demacia was missing a very important thing.
That is the dissemination of information.
It's not that there isn't, but it's backward.
Modern mobile phones are used to disseminate information, and a finger is placed on the screen to receive any message as soon as possible.
In the Middle Ages and even in ancient times, when there were no mobile phones, didn't information spread by just the few things written on a piece of paper?
Usually when one thing happens, it is one to ten, ten to hundred, but this efficiency can only be described as slow.
But newspapers are different, there are so many things recorded on them, and the speed of transmission is also faster.
What Lu Qi saw at this time was an untapped market.
Now, even the newspaper delivery has been found in advance.
Aren't the children of this church the right people, and the matter of delivering the newspaper is not a trivial matter, just enough to satisfy Mov's idea that they can still earn money by working hard.
This can't be considered child labor, right?
Even the base area has been found.
There are three Illuminator churches in the royal capital, which are spread over three areas of the city.
With them as a base, it can just spread to the entire royal capital.
"That's about it, is there anything you'd like to ask?"
Luffy explained.
At this time, after listening to Lu Qi's explanation, the three of them were basically very easy to understand.
Listening to Lu Qi say this, I think it's really okay.
After all, humans are social creatures after all, and gossip is an inevitable hobby for everyone.
If it is really like what Lu Qi said, everyone can learn about the big and small affairs of the royal capital as soon as they wake up every day, it can indeed greatly satisfy their gossip hearts.
And it's also good to be able to gain insight into the world without leaving home.
If you want to talk about problems, there are not many more.
After all, what should be said, Lu Qi has said.
Seeing that the three of them didn't speak, Lu Qi asked, "I've said so much, you guys have some reaction!" ”
Fiona asked, "What reaction do you want?" ”
Lu Qi said: "For example, after listening to it, I felt shocked, so I took out my wallet and offered it, crying and shouting for the big guy to bring it." ”
After hearing this, the three girls were speechless.
"Don't think about such a big reaction, but I'm really interested."
Fiona smiled and said.
Lux and Kahina also nodded their heads.
This idea is not to say how shocking it is, in fact, after Lu Qi explained, they understood so quickly because they had seen similar patterns.
After all, such a large empire, without a little information dissemination, would have been finished long ago.
It's just that Luci came up with more original ideas and ideas.
Recently, I forgot to thank you for the tip, so I thank you here.
Thank you to every reader for your support to me, thank you very much!
