Chapter 4 Destroying Wealth and Eliminating Disasters
Meng Zhou took a deep breath, looked at Deacon Huang, and said seriously: "Senior, I want to stay and continue to do miscellaneous labor." ”
Deacon Huang seemed surprised, and after a while he said with a look of embarrassment:
"It's not easy to do, you're getting this old and you don't have any outstanding performance, and it's hard for me to do it. You also know the rules of the sect, even if it's just a handyman, it's not allowed to drag your feet. ”
Meng Zhou was not as skilled as the man in Mai before, and he reached into his sleeve a little awkwardly, took out two medium-grade spirit stones and put them on the table, and said:
"Of course, I know the rules in the door, but I'm sure you must have a way."
He knew very well that a handyman like himself was an insignificant little shrimp in the eyes of the sect, and the rules of the sect would be regarded as a drop in his eyes.
From a management point of view, all the needs of the sect for miscellaneous servants stop at the level of miscellaneous deacons. As for how the miscellaneous deacons are managed and implemented, as long as there is no big mess, no one cares.
According to Meng Zhou's understanding, only the miscellaneous deacons were recruited into the sect, and the other miscellaneous servants were all temporary workers.
The deacon Huang in front of him can decide whether he will leave or stay.
Just now, he showed on the spot how he clearly marked the price and collected money to do things, and he didn't care about the presence of him, a bystander.
It not only shows how light the weight of miscellaneous servants like him is, but also shows how confident people are.
On the way here, he also thought about how to be subtle and elegant when giving bribes, neither he, Xia Qing, nor Zhou Qiang had any experience in this area, but after watching a teaching bureau, he knew that he was thinking too much.
Therefore, he didn't twist it, and directly opened the way with the spirit stone.
Deacon Huang put down the teacup, leaned forward slightly, and asked curiously, "I'm curious, why did you suddenly change your mind?" ”
Meng Zhou's face gradually showed a sad color, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "Senior, I originally planned to return to my earthly hometown if I failed to practice, and accompany my parents to spend my old age in peace, but they ...... They ......"
His voice choked, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, stared at Deacon Huang with bloodshot eyes, and said sadly:
"Now, I'm homeless. It's a big world, but I don't know where else to go but here. "This is not a lie, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother did pass away not long ago.
Saying that, Meng Zhouhu asked again: "Senior, you must have seen that I am in an abnormal state now, right?" ”
He knew that his current state could not be hidden, lest Deacon Huang think blindly, so he simply took the initiative to find out.
When Deacon Huang heard this, he bowed his head slightly: "Indeed, your breath is a little weak now, and your mana fluctuations are also a little chaotic. ”
"When I was practicing last night, I was in a hurry, and my vitality was greatly damaged, and if I wanted to recover, it would take at least half a year or more. You said, with my state of leaving the miscellaneous house, can I still have a good one? ”
Deacon Huang's doubts disappeared in his heart, but he still did not let go, sighed and shook his head:
"Well, if only you had come earlier, now that I've put your name up, it's not going to be easy...... Hey, who is your recommender, can you find a way to find him? ”
At the end of the day, he seemed to remember something.
Meng Zhou shook his head with a wry smile and said:
"If this method had worked, I would have done it a long time ago, so why would it have been delayed until now? A trivial favor, that recommendation has been exhausted. ”
He knew that Deacon Huang was taking the opportunity to probe his bottom.
He is only glad that Xia Qing did a very hidden job in helping Zhou Qiang become a miscellaneous servant in the medicine garden in order to clear up the relationship with Zhou Qiang back then, and he went around several circles, except for the two parties, no one knew what was going on.
Meng Zhou not only played the emotional card with his mouth and appeal, but also did not have ambiguous movements in his hands.
He put another one hundred and one spirit stones on the table, one medium grade, and one hundred lower grade. It looks quite bluffing, but the actual value is only two medium-grade spirit stones.
Deacon Huang looked at the lower grade spirit stones that almost filled the entire coffee table, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
The whole money is not enough to make up change, even if he has always been known for his good scraping, he is a little unbearable.
Although the income of the medicine garden's miscellaneous workers is good, for cultivators, the spirit stones are never enough to spend. Moreover, he also knows the rumors that the other party likes to sleep in flowers and willows. Being able to squeeze out four medium-grade spirit stones from the other party was already very unexpected to him.
"Okay." Deacon Huang sighed, but reminded again: "But I have to say in advance, in your situation, you don't have to think about a good errand." I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at those positions, and if I can't convince the public, I will have to eat and hang. ”
Meng Zhou hurriedly said: "I understand, I don't force the specific position, as long as I can stay." ”
Deacon Huang nodded: "Okay, you will come to me in a month." ”
Meng Zhou looked up in surprise: "One ...... A month later? ”
This time it wasn't pretended, he was really surprised.
Seeing this, Deacon Huang smiled and teased: "You don't think that I can only scrape money and don't know how to take care of my brothers, right?" ”
Without waiting for Meng Zhou to answer, he changed to a serious face again, "You are not in a good state now, it is not appropriate to forcibly perform your duties, and you will recuperate for a month." ”
“…… Thank you, thank you seniors for your kindness. Meng Zhou sincerely thanked.
"Hmm." Deacon Huang answered, picked up the teacup again, Meng Zhou hurriedly said goodbye, walked out of the living room backwards, and then turned around and walked out.
At the moment of turning around, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a graceful figure walking towards him with a gust of fragrant wind, and he quickly turned sideways to avoid it.
"Another one to deliver money? …… It's good to be a deacon. ”
……
The spirit stones in the bag were spent by one-third of the time at once, and Meng Zhou felt a little careful in his heart.
However, as the saying goes, it is a matter of destroying wealth and eliminating disasters, let alone saving lives.
For this matter, not to mention the four medium-grade spirit stones, even if he spent all the spirit stones on his body, he did not hesitate to do so.
Although the miscellaneous servant is only a dispensable supernumerary temporary worker, this is something he cannot give up no matter what.
He made this decision for two reasons.
With his current ability, Meng Zhou had no way to take Xia Qing away without attracting anyone's attention while he was leaving.
He couldn't.
It was even more impossible for him to leave by himself and leave Xia Qing behind.
In addition, there is another reason that is even more fatal.
When he received Zhou Qiang's memory, he calmly examined it from the perspective of a third party and found a lot of strange things.
From the sudden appearance of "Blood Spell Book" to Zhou Qiang's performance in the past half a year. It is too strange and abnormal for a waste who has lived for 50 years but has always been like a giant baby, but calmly prepares for his own death ceremony.
Zhou Qiang is a person who is afraid of pain and cold when he jumps into the river, and on a whim, he gags himself before he reacts, which is still a bit possible.
But let him take months to prepare slowly in a calm situation, he would never dare. Even if he would have a hot head at first, he would definitely stop in ten days. In any case, he can't be ruthless to himself!
When others read the suicide note, they may feel that the motive is clear at a glance.
But in Meng Zhou's eyes, the suicide note seemed to say, "Look, the motive is obvious, the facts are clear, and there is no doubt." This matter can be put to an end, and this is the end of it. ”
There are too many weird and strange places.
Meng Zhou was sure that if he left the miscellaneous courtyard like this, there was a high probability that he would disappear clearly, and a small probability that he would disappear clearly.
The only thing that could provide him with safe shelter was the miscellaneous courtyard at his feet.
Therefore, the status of a miscellaneous servant must not be lost no matter what, otherwise, he will no longer have a reason not to leave here.
