Lilith is no exception.

Old Mike had a very strict mouth, he sat in the tavern, and he heard countless gossip and cowhides every day, or perhaps the image of the old man who became more and more kind after his fortune was easy to let people off his guard, in short, Lilith couldn't help but confide in him.

Lilith sighed, "My mom said she wouldn't let me go. ”

Old Mike brought her a glass of hot milk: "Please." "Although his tavern is a tavern, it is more like a grocery store in a sense, selling delicatessen, alcohol, beverages, milk.

"It's a pity that you can't go, I originally thought that if you went, you could help me inquire about the news by the way, and help me do a market research or something." After listening to so much gossip in the tavern, old Mike had a way of persuading people, he first used the logic of interests to show that he was a comrade-in-arms on the same front as Lilith, and then continued.

As soon as Lilith heard this, she let down most of her guard!

Old Mike's concern is probably true, why? Naturally, it's because he wants Lilith to help him ask for some useful news!

Old Mike has recently fallen in love with the feeling of making money, after all, that's making money! Who doesn't love money?

Mack's Tavern has a good business, the drinks are profitable, and the ability to make money from food is quite a lot.

But how can anyone think that they make too little money?

Old Mike wondered if he could find a faster and easier way to make money from the Xinrong Territory.

There is no need to open a tavern branch, not to mention the degree of trouble, just talk about the consumption level, and there is not much tavern consumption soil in Xinrong territory.

What he wants to try is the business of speculation.

The best sellers in the tavern are all kinds of peanuts, such as braised peanuts, drunkard peanuts, garlic peanuts and tiger skin peanuts.

Not only is it a delicious appetizer, but neighbors often send their children over to buy a big bag and put it back as a snack.

A bumper harvest of peanuts, the price of peanuts is not expensive now, raw peanuts 5 copper coins a catty, plus various costs, sell 15 copper coins a catty, if the shipment is large, it is still very profitable!

Wasn't the market for frozen rice balls opened up smoothly?! And the situation is very good!

Now every day, there are many aristocrats waving investment intent sheets looking for investment projects, which makes Old Mac also ready to move.

He is not sure that he will be able to make money on a big project, but if it is only a peanut processing plant...... Even if you can't open the external market, you won't lose money by selling it inside Lanceville.

But if it's just sold in-house by Lanceville, peanut roasted nuts don't seem to be too competitive, and potato chips are much more attractive as a snack than peanuts!

Therefore, before the definite news, the elder Mike did not have so much determination to start a business.

His tavern? His tavern can't be considered a business! The house is your own, the decoration and cost have been earned back a long time ago, and the labor is only your own, so it is your own pure profit to earn more and less, and the risk of losing money cannot be smaller.

This information is also relatively clear to Lilith as a neighbor.

Because it was a message that she had integrated, Lilith trusted Old Mac a little more.

But soon, after speaking from Lilith's point of view, the turning point came.

"Alas, your mother is worried about you, too, alas......" Old Michael comforted Lilith, but his face could not hide his loss.

He's old, and although his level has returned to lv.35 after being treated and going to a training class, he's still a hundred-year-old anyway.

Xinrong territory is such a dangerous place, he doesn't dare and doesn't have the momentum to go again, he is very satisfied with his life now, sleep until he wakes up naturally in the morning, go out to have a meal and come back to prepare for the opening of the store, sit at the cashier and chat with people and drink wine, spend a pleasant day leisurely and earn money by the way, don't want to get up on the day he orders takeout, and then brushes the forum to spend the day.

Such days are leisurely and wasteful of life, but Old Mac feels that this is the happiest and best time in his life.

He cherished it very much, so he also said to Lilith: "Child, there is nothing more precious in this world than life, do you know how precious it is to be able to live as comfortably as you are now?" ”

Lilith cherishes such moments, but she says to Old Mack, "If everyone is just interested in enjoying such a happy and leisurely time, will the world be so beautiful?" ”

Old Mike was stunned for a moment.

"I'm sorry, I think I said the wrong thing." Lilith pursed her lips a little helplessly, and reached out to take the packing box and leave, but saw that Old Mike was not angry, but laughed.

"It's me who is too cowardly." Old Michael said, "Lilith, you are a wise and brave child, and you are right, because there is always a group of people who are carrying the belief that 'even if you pay for your life', you will not hesitate to go on, and that's why I, a bad old man, who only wants to enjoy myself, sit here comfortably." ”

But his voice changed: "But, to your parents, you are a more important being than their lives. They may be willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of ideals, justice and faith, but they are reluctant to let you go! ”

This time, Lilith was stunned.

Old Mike asked her to put herself in her shoes: "If your mother was now in danger in exchange for the fulfillment of your dreams, would you be willing?" ”

"How is that possible?! Why do I have to sacrifice my mother for my dreams? "Lilith almost blew up.

Old Mike tried to reassure: "Hypothesis, just hypothesis!" Suppose your dreams are the same as your mother's dreams, but now your mother is going to give her life for that, you-"

Lilith turned her head away, and old Mike saw the tears, and said no more.

He shoved the cup of hot milk into Lilith's palm: "Go back, talk to your mom and dad again, if you don't say something, how will they know?" ”

Lilith was silent for a few moments before she spoke in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Grandpa Mike." ”

She thanked her in a whisper, lowered her head and ran, not knowing if she was embarrassed or in a hurry to go back.

"Hey, this girl!" Old Mike scratched his face, also a little embarrassed.

Old Mike never thought that he would be thanked one day.

His temper was not good before, because he was injured, and his future as a spellcaster was also broken, and this person was not only depressed, but also had a hatred and then a better life than him.

But perhaps just like his fat body, I don't know when those dark thoughts gradually disappeared.

In his place, he was treated with the respect and friendliness of many people around him.

His grade is very big, although as an extraordinary person has no room for further improvement, he is already a bad old man who is about to enter the end of his life, but in ordinary people, he has experienced a lot of things, and sometimes a casual mention will benefit people a lot.

Although he is very preachy, his age and appearance make him convincing.

Therefore, I don't know when it began, more and more people came to him to complain about their troubles.

Sometimes it's through drunkenness, and sometimes it's through shopping.

In short, Old Mac sometimes has doubts - he can't open a simple tavern, but a psychological counseling tavern!

But the taste of being thanked...... Honestly, I like it.

And whether it's to drink or buy cooked food, it's all about making him money, isn't it!

Old Mike still likes their self-consciousness very much.

Holding five silver coins, old Mack brought himself a glass of wine, and was about to drink it, when a little girl came again.

Not Lilith, but with a similar expression on her face.

Old Mike: "......", the mood is strangely complicated, and the co-author really treats him here as a house of everything!

Old Mike was in pain and happy, and Lilith didn't understand, but she did realize that she had gone in the wrong direction at Old Mike's suggestion.

Lilith was vaguely aware that the communication between herself and her parents was not effective.

She's not just there to have fun and satisfy her curiosity.

Moreover, the Xinrong Territory is not as terrifying as the elders imagined, and the danger is a little more dangerous than Lanceville, but it is not to the point of Longtan Tiger's Den!

She is going to make a PPT, from her dreams, to the safety of Xinrong's territory and the fact that she is not going to gamble her life on this trip, explain it all!

As for whether the parents will agree in the end...... Lilith hoped they would agree.

Chapter 124

Lily carefully wrote the prescribed characters on each cell in the workbook.

The workbook is a total of 50 pages, each page has 60 small squares, the outermost of the small squares is a solid line, and the inside is a dotted line.

Lily's job is to "fill them up".

A character is transcribed 60 times, which is a whole page.

After the transcription is completed, you can get 1 point, 1 point can buy a lot of things, breakfast and supper are 1 point, most of the time is steamed buns, hash browns and steamed eggs, sometimes vegetarian buns and tea eggs, lunch and dinner are three meats, one vegetable and one soup, you can eat meat!!

Points can even be exchanged for beautiful and warm clothes, shoes, scarves and hats! Even sweets!!

Lily has to work very hard, four meals a day, she doesn't want to miss a meal in the morning, noon and dinner, she has tasted starving to death, so she is full of persistence and craving for food.

"Jingle bell—" The early bell rang.

The girl next to her happened to finish writing a page, stretched her waist, and asked curiously, "Lily, what page have you written?" ”

Lily was engrossed in controlling her hand, the thing called the "pen" in her palm was very light, but it required a very delicate operation to get the job done.

The requirement of "workshop master" is that each person has at least ten pages per day, and at the same time will work to score, pass is considered valid, can get points, full score work will be rewarded with double points.

Lily is currently the only child to have ever received a perfect score, and it is only natural that her work has received a lot of attention.

Lily didn't speak, she concentrated on filling in the last space before she relaxed and gasped twice.

The roommate also gasped nervously, and she was also subconsciously holding her breath for fear of disturbing Lily just now, as if her gentle breathing would blow Lily's pen away.

Lily relaxed for a moment and said, "I've written five pages." ”

Everyone's progress is fast and slow, and five pages is almost the usual speed.

As he spoke, everyone put away their things and prepared to wash up and eat.

They were in time to get up in the morning before the bell rang and practiced their work more with the help of the hallway signs.

Every day in class, the "workshop master" will explain to them the meaning of each character after receiving yesterday's homework, and will distribute the official workbook for them to copy during working hours, and then tomorrow's work content will also explain the strokes ten minutes before the end of class.

For tomorrow's work, Lily and her sisters are working very hard during non-working hours!

It's normal to wake up an hour early and practice hard.

Ten o'clock in the evening is the lights out time, and if you want to practice hard in the dark, you don't have that condition, so it's much easier to get up early!

Although it was still dark at five o'clock in the morning in winter, there was already a little light, and with the signage in the corridor, the handwriting could be seen clearly.

The dormitories are all sixteen rooms, with a toilet, a balcony, a row of large sink vanities with eight taps, eight double beds, four large long tables and sixteen stools.

The sign on the outside emits a faint glow that is too faint for illumination, but the handwriting can still be seen if you hold the stool close to it to act as a "lamp".

Lily, who had memorized a lot of characters for work, recognized the sign with the words "Safe Passage" written on it.

玙 - 樨 - 正 - Li ——

At first, there were very few of them, and there were only a few on one floor, and they were still a scary green when they looked at it.

But maybe the dormitory aunts also felt that they were too infiltrating, so they changed to the way they are now, the white light is neither dazzling nor dazzling, counting the upstairs talk, five or six people sharing one can not only make the handwriting be seen clearly, but also the vast majority of people can use it, it can be said that it is very convenient.

It's tiring to use a stool as a desk, but it's nothing to them!

It's hard to be hungry when you don't have food to eat!
