Chapter 21: Helpers

"You've grown up, little ballad." Hakutsuki shed tears of relief.

"Don't look like you're seeing your daughter get married, hey! Let's rub less TV series! ”

"Alright, let's get down to business." Senior sister changes her face faster than turning a book

"Senior sister, your thinking is right, you can only survive in the world of heaven and man by finding a way to make money, but you can't fall behind in cultivation.

This day, Haishi's aura is almost zero, and it is not suitable for cultivation at all, we don't care, but Xiao Ye can't wait, her age is the easiest time to get started, and I am afraid that it will delay her growth in a few years. ”

"So what do you mean?"

"We don't know when we'll be able to go back yet, so we have to plan for the long term. The first is to restore cultivation as soon as possible, which is fundamental; The second is that we also need to develop our own forces on the Spirit Source Star, so that we will not be controlled by others everywhere. So we'd better go our separate ways. ”

"Senior sister, I understand! As Xiao Ye's master, I will definitely take care of ......"

"You stay here."

Chu Yu bitter gourd face.

"Why! I want to hang out too...... No, I mean bring the leaflets. ”

"That's it, I don't worry about you taking her out! I've already figured it out, the Spirit Source Star is so big, it can't be that there is only one suitable place for cultivation in the Beishan Mine. In a few days, I'll take her away. ”

"You just want to watch the finale of 'Wild Escape' at the supermarket at the corner of the street......"

The senior sister turned her head with a serious face, as if she hadn't heard Chu Yu's words.

——

Three days later, Chu Yu said goodbye to the two outside the city.

Xiao Ye finally chose to agree, she had no worries in Tianhai and had nowhere to go. After listening to Chu Yu tell her story, she also wanted to go out and see the world.

"Alas, they're all busy, it's better to be busy." Chu Yu was like a lonely old man who stayed behind, and began to think about his next plans.

The faint sunlight shines overhead, leaving a long shadow on the corners of the high-rise buildings. The sky was overcast and cold, not only because of the unique climate of Lingyuan Star, but also because of the haze of the city's industry.

Chu Yu is now, in the Eighth Ring Road of Tianhai City, in the dark street area.

Not counting the small cities outside the city, the real Tianhai urban area can be divided into one to ten rings. Within the fourth ring road, it is the central area; The fifth to seventh ring roads are civilian areas; The eighth to tenth ring roads are lawless dark streets.

Narrow alleys are intricately studded, old walls are covered with graffiti and small advertisements, and disordered wires tangle overhead into a messy web.

Describe a withered addict, a homeless man living in a corner, a street girl with heavy makeup, and a sneaky hawker......

The deeper you go, the more you see such people.

The Eighth Ring Road and the Seventh Ring Road are obviously just one street apart, but their appearance is very different.

The majestic and bright city of Tianhai exposed a rotten corner of its glossy edge at the edge of the city.

It seems that no matter what civilization there is, there is such a part of the outcast. Even if it is as developed as a celestial man, it is no exception.

The basement where Chu Yu and the others hid before was between the seventh and eighth rings, and in comparison, she was also a little emotional, but there was more inexplicable stability in her heart.

Since there are still places like Dark Street that the Law Enforcement Bureau can't control, then Yali Company is not single-handedly covering the sky in Lingyuan Star.

She has cultivated from a mortal to the present, and she has also walked through many places similar to the dark streets on the Fengyuan Star. Although it is chaotic here, it is as reassuring as returning to his hometown for Chu Yu.

Give me time to develop, and I can always soar!

Hmph, wait and see, senior sister, I'll surprise you when you come back......

That being said, Chu Yu is also a little confused at the moment. There is another reason why she came to the dark street,

She's a black household.

Chu Yu tried to find a job within the Seventh Ring Road a few days ago, and she had already put her conditions very low, but when all the bosses heard that she couldn't show the documents to prove her identity, they got up directly to see off the guests.

The citizens of Tianhai who are serious have something called an ID card on their bodies, that is, an identity certificate, and Chu Yu, an outsider, naturally does not have it.

Fortunately, the last boss was kind (?) ), suggesting that she can go to the dark street to try, there are no rules here.

"Miss buy a dish, four yuan a piece, ten yuan and three ......"

"Don't buy, don't buy, retreat!" Chu Yu impatiently sent away a hawker who was close to him.

I can't buy it if I want to, I don't have money!

As she walked, she saw a small restaurant on the corner of a certain street with a sign for handymen:

"Recruit a kitchen helper, male or female, age limit. Two thousand a month, including food and accommodation. ”

Hey, it's good!

She didn't want to live in that damp basement all the time.

Chu Yu pushed open the door and walked in, the owner was a chubby middle-aged aunt, who was lying on the front desk boredly brushing Feiyu, and the movement was big.

"Feiyu" is an app for watching short videos, which is available in almost every celestial mobile phone.

Chu Yu looked around, the store was very small, five or six small wooden tables were old and white, and there were all kinds of posters pasted on the walls.

It's small, but it's not messy, and it looks neat.

"Eat something? The menu is on the wall over there, see for yourself. The aunt glanced up, and then swiped her phone intently.

"Boss, do you still recruit a cook? I saw a sign hanging outside the door. ”

The proprietress was stunned for a moment, and finally looked up at Chu Yu seriously, her eyes scanning back and forth on her.

"Move, of course."

The proprietress looked puzzled, and she wanted to say something.

"What, I don't look like I can work?"

Not really.

Chu Yu is now wearing a pair of jeans with some open lines, a purple and black sweatshirt on his upper body, and a baseball cap on his head.

The security uniform she was wearing before had been thrown away, and she couldn't wear it all the time, it was too eye-catching.

As for the origin of this outfit...... Ahem, don't ask me, go ask my sister.

In addition, the original waist-length long hair was also cut in half by her, don't worry, with her cultivation, it can be restored at any time.

Dressed like this, she looks like a girl on the street, not like a migrant worker.

"Girl, listen to my aunt's advice, it's normal for you to quarrel with your family at your age......"

The proprietress treats her like a runaway student.

"I'm really here to work......" Chu Yu couldn't laugh or cry a little.

"We don't recruit minors."

"I'm an adult, and I just turned eighteen this year!"

Chu Rumor is forever eighteen years old!

The proprietress still didn't believe it. So Chu Yu launched his three-inch incorruptible tongue and began to grind and bubble, and finally impressed the other party.

"Okay, okay, let's stay with me first. If you have time to call your family, don't let them worry about it......" The proprietress has already identified the character of Chu Yu's "runaway girl", and has made up eighty episodes of family ethics dramas.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Chu ...... Chu Ye. You can just call me Night. ”

To be cautious, it's better not to report your real name.

"Okay, Xiaoye, you can go to the back kitchen first." After the proprietress finished speaking, she turned around and shouted:

"Old man! The helper found it. ”

"Got it!"

Chu Yu followed the sound and saw a man with a somewhat vicissitudes of life in the kitchen. Sure enough, this is a small shop, only the husband and wife run it.

The man was also a little surprised to see Chu Yu's appearance, but he just asked Chu Yu to try to cut something first, and then he was shocked to find that this little girl had good knife skills, and she seemed to be used to working in the kitchen.

"The little girl is not simple, have you done it before?"

"Of course, otherwise how would I have applied for the job?"

It's not just that she has done it, before she practiced, she was born in this family, working as a miscellaneous cook in a restaurant, and doing everything.

According to the boss's instructions, Chu Yu chopped a magical blue cabbage into pieces, and then put it in a small bowl for later use, in an orderly manner.

"Well, good, qualified! My surname is Hou, and I don't need to call the boss, you can call me Uncle Hou, and it's my lover who collects the accounts outside. Don't be in a hurry now, you won't get busy until noon arrives at lunchtime, and I'll arrange a place for you to live now. ”

Chu Yu followed Uncle Hou from the back door to a room next door, and was ushered into a clean small room by him.

The small bed is not big, the table, chairs and benches are complete, and there is a bookshelf with books and some small items on it.

"You can live here first, it used to be my son's house, and now it has been cleaned up."

"Your son is ...... now" Chu Yu actually felt that this Uncle Hou was a little familiar just now.

It shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?

"Alas, that stinky boy doesn't mention it! said that he went out to start a career, but it turned out that he ran for several years, and he didn't even have a phone call. Uncle Hou said, lit a cigarette and smoked

"He has been strong since he was a child, he doesn't talk anything to his family, and he is bent on making a lot of money. In fact, no matter how much money we make, we as parents want our children to be safe......

Let you see the little girl, as soon as I mention him, I have a lot of words. You rest here first, and I'll call you later when I'm busy." ”

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Hou."

"Well, it's fine. You often call your family when you are free, don't be like this kid in my family, who makes people worry about it all day long. Uncle Hou sighed and walked away.

Family......

Chu Yu's parents have long since passed away. Monks have a long lifespan, but mortals cannot, and she has also experienced the parting of her loved ones with her own eyes.

The Chu family is still there, but for her, it is no longer the Chu family it once was.

When the familiar people have become a pinch of loess, those clansmen who have lasted for several generations have only blood ties left with her.

Today, she can be called a family, maybe only her senior sister. Well, and leaflets.

Then there are the peers and disciples of the Tianyin Sect.

One name after another came to mind.

Give me a good life, and I'll pick you up one by one after my ancestors!

Chu Yu lay down on the small bed and rolled comfortably, like a kitten.

Anyway, it's nice to finally have a place to live.

As for this Uncle Hou, Chu Yu was almost certain that he was the father of the thin monkey. The proprietress must be his mother.

It was the man surnamed Hou who wanted to steal her things in the mine and was later bought.

But she resisted the idea of speaking.

Chu Yu remembered that on the day of the escape, the thin monkey grabbed the car that followed them, but in the end she was not sure whether she succeeded in escaping.

So it made the old couple more troubled, and let them still believe that their children were wandering outside.

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world.
