Chapter 3 Task Rewards

Zheng Dongxi just turned eighteen years old this year, and after leaving the official road, he completely left the scope of the Thief Sect and began his training as a disciple of the Thief Sect.

Coming directly to Qingchuan County, I also planned to stay in the county for a while, so I naturally wanted to find an errand that could support myself.

Walking in the city, I saw the inn in front of me, posted a notice to recruit people, and walked in.

At this time, the two looked at each other, Zheng Dongxi's heart tightened, and his right foot subconsciously retreated a small step, ready to run at any time.

"Good ......" Liu Yuan couldn't hold back as soon as he said a good word, and the sentences that he was going to scold were swallowed back into his stomach.

Thinking of the hidden task just now, even the little flame of anger that had just ignited in his eyes changed to kind eyes, and he said to the person in front of him with a smile: "Okay, okay." ”

God knows how much effort Liu Yuan took to play this face-changing.

On the way back to his hometown, he rode a donkey and hit the thief, and when he helped the latter up, he was stolen without realizing it.

Later, I thought that most of the people who could have such skills were disciples of the Divine Thief Sect.

Due to the mystery of the headquarters of the Thief Gate and the weak ability of the disciples to fight head-on, they escaped the catastrophe in the matter of 'burning books and destroying heroes'.

At that time, I was still surprised that this little thief was not slanderous, and he sighed in the back that he was really a good person, the more he thought about Liu Yuan's teeth, the more itchy, so he had to endure it first, after all, he was in a hurry at the time, so he pretended not to know.

The atmosphere in the inn was a little awkward, and Liu Yuan said again: "We are just recruiting, little brother come in and sit." ”

He didn't recognize me?" Zheng thought to himself, nodded with a smile on his face, walked in with his feet up, and sat across the table from Liu Yuan.

"I think you're a little familiar, little brother. After the two sat down, Liu Yuan said a word, and Zheng Dongxi's buttocks trembled, and he didn't dare to sit down and said: "I think the shopkeeper is also a little familiar." ”

Oh, pretend, continue to pretend. After entering the door, some small details of the person in front of him fell into Liu Yuan's eyes, and he became more and more sure in his heart that the person in front of him must have stolen his silver ticket.

Liu Yuan, who pretended to act or something, was a good hand, and continued: "Are we ......?"

In the middle of his words, Liu Yuantu slapped the table and stood up: "Ah!" Zheng Dongxi was full of excitement, his legs straightened and he stood up, and his eyes looked at the opposite side cautiously.

"I remembered. Liu Yuan walked around the long table as he spoke, took a few steps forward, and stared at the person in front of him with burning eyes.

"Think...... What do you remember?" Zheng Dongshi found himself stammering a little when he spoke.

"Little brother, are you okay?" Liu Yuan grabbed Zheng Dongxi's shoulders with both palms, and said with a concerned face: "I hit you on a donkey that day, and I have always been very worried." ”

"Ah, it's you?" said Zheng Dongxi, with a shocked face.

Good guy, pretending to be like that, it's an opponent today, Liu Yuan thought in his heart, and held the hand of the person in front of him, because he was afraid that he would run away.

Liu Yuan said enthusiastically: "Come sit and sit, let's sit down and talk." ”

"Under Liu Yuan, twenty years old, how old should you be, brother, what is your name. ”

"Zheng Dongxi, southeast and northwest, Brother Liu is indeed two years older than me. Zheng Dongshi gently shook his right hand, and gave up before he broke away.

I secretly said in my heart that this person is really stupid, he hasn't found out that his silver ticket has dropped, and he still hasn't suspected me.

After that, Liu Yuan tried his best to probe the details of Zheng Dongxi, and Zheng Dongxi saw the tricks, gags, and used his skills to talk about him, and nothing was said about what Liu Yuan wanted to know.

As Liu Yuan expected, this is a chess opponent.

"It just so happens that I'm short of people here, so you can stay with me. "The silver ticket can be ignored first, Liu Yuan must complete the hidden task first.

"Uh, I don't know what the shopkeeper is recruiting?" Zheng Dongxi hesitated for a moment and then said.

"What are you good at?"

"I'm running fast, I don't know what kind of work I can do with you in the shopkeeper?" asked Zheng Dongxi.

"Run fast, great, my inn just lacks a runner, it's you. Liu Yuan said and patted Zheng Shixi's shoulder.

"Five hundred wen bags a month for food and housing, how about doing it first and then sending it?" When it came to serious matters, Liu Yuan had already let go of his hand and looked at Zheng Shi with a straight face.

The monthly money is five hundred Wen, and there is no such low price in the entire Qingchuan County, generally speaking, the running hall is in other inns, and it is eight dollars of silver a month, or even one or two.

However, these Zheng things are not understood, and even for him, a disciple of the Divine Thief Sect, there is no difference between five dollars and eight dollars.

"Okay, I'll do it, let me meet the other guys you recruited from the shopkeeper too. Zheng Shixi took a bite to take it.

"Huh. Liu Yuan looked at Zheng Dongxi with a smile on his face, then turned around and took out a white rag behind the wooden counter, put it on Zheng Dongxi's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Do a good job, you are the first person recruited by this shopkeeper." ”

"......" Zheng Dongxi was speechless, and he wanted to run again.

"Don't worry, I'm such a big inn, and my guy will be full today. Liu Yuan said casually.

"Well, people don't stand without faith, and I won't regret it if I promise it. Zheng Dongxi nodded and said.

Tsk, people don't stand without faith, this sentence came out of the mouth of a thief, why did Liu Yuan think it was so strange.

At this time, the pendant that fell on his neck shook, and Liu Yuan's heart moved, and it was estimated that the task was completed.

However, just when his heart was relaxed, Liu Yuan was faced with a very serious problem, who would change the name of the inn.

If you want to say that he will go, leave Zheng Shiwu in the store, he is not at ease for the time being, if you want to say let Zheng Shiwu go, buy a plaque and write and ask for silver, what if you give him the silver and take it and run away?

Desperate to complete this basic-level task, Liu Yuan is so worried.

And just when Liu Yuanchou was worried, in the direction of the main entrance, a middle-aged man wearing a gray and white two-color Taoist robe walked and holding a white sail with the words 'Open the Mouth Biling'.

A pair of horizontal eyebrows, a thin face, five slender fingers and a beard under the chin, looking like a fairy wind bone.

The inn is in this stall of dismal business, and except for outsiders like Zheng Dongxi, no one will generally come to the door.

And under normal circumstances, there are few people dressed as Taoist priests, mainly because it has only been a long time since the saint stepped on the world, so as to avoid being arrested as the remnants of the Taoist sect.

Looking at the person who came in front of the door, Liu Yuan frowned slightly, with a scrutinizing gaze, and always felt that this person was a little familiar.

When this person got closer and closer, until he stood in front of the threshold, Liu Yuan showed a happy expression on his face, and blurted out: "Third uncle, you are still alive!"

Third Uncle?Liu Fangming looked at the red-robed man sitting at the long table with stunned eyes, and countless questions suddenly flew through his heart.

There has been no business for many days, and Liu Fangming has to do something serious.

Recently, I heard that there is a new shopkeeper in this inn, coupled with the previous poisoning incident of Mr. Bookkeeper, presumably this new shopkeeper is using him, and he needs to calculate a hexagram, or a name, in exchange for luck.

Who knew that when I entered the door, I heard the suspected new shopkeeper, and blurted out the third uncle, my good man, this is the old Jianghu, and he hasn't talked about money yet, so he wants to get close to me first.

Thinking of these in his heart, Liu Fangming suddenly looked at his nose and nose, pinched the Taoist trick with one hand, and said: "Immeasurable Tianzun, poor Dao has practiced in Ziwei Mountain since childhood, and is the seventy-eighth generation disciple of Ziwei Mountain. ”

"Will Ziwei Mountain accept you, Third Uncle?" Liu Yuan said funny.

Originally, he was still skeptical at first, but after hearing this sentence, he completely confirmed that this Taoist priest with a mouth full of nonsense must be his third uncle.

Thinking of the years when he was taken back to his hometown by his father when he was a child and followed behind the third uncle's buttocks, Liu Yuan showed a knowing smile on his face.

His third uncle can probably be described in three words, the old god stick, if there are three more words, he is an old rascal.

The third uncle's most happy thing to do is to disguise himself as a fairy wind and bones, and touch the bones of the little daughter-in-law and the eldest girl everywhere to look at palmistry.

I once threw away one of my shoes when I ran away in a hurry because I was lying on the wall to watch the widow take a bath.

So in Liu Yuan's impression, he thought that the third uncle would have an accident sooner or later, and he would be arrested and put in prison or beaten out of Qingchuan County by angry girls.

In the past few years with the third uncle, he has learned some cunning skills of cheating, abduction, and pretending to be crazy and stupid, and when he suddenly saw the unexpected third uncle, Liu Yuan still felt a little kind.

"What are you talking about, the ...... of Ziwei Mountain" The third uncle stopped when he said this, because the people in front of him insisted on calling him the third uncle.

"Are you...... Xiao Yuanzi?" the third uncle asked hesitantly.

"It's me, third uncle. Liu Yuan stood up directly, intending to give the third uncle a big hug, and at the same time didn't forget to turn his head and say to Zheng Dongxi: "Something, make a tea for the third uncle." ”

After a lot of effort, the uncle and nephew finally confirmed it.

Then Liu Yuan pulled the third uncle to sit down at the long table, chatted about the parents, Liu Yuan turned the topic, got down to business, and said with a smile: "Third uncle, I plan to change the name of this inn, you are familiar with the old way, help me buy a plaque back." ”

came, his nephew's money was also earned, the third uncle hurriedly said: "Xiao Yuanzi, you have a good name, or the third uncle will help you make a hexagram, count it as a good name, and ensure that you are a rich source of money, prosperous wealth, five blessings, and prosperous wealth in all season......s."

"Hehe, no need, my nephew has already thought of a name. Liu Yuan looked at the surprised expression on the third uncle's face with a smile, and he didn't know the two boys of his third uncle, so he said directly: "My inn is called the first in the world." ”

He suddenly felt that the task on the cabin was right, as an ideal and aspiring innkeeper, the inn had to be called this name.

However, after Liu Yuan finished speaking, the third uncle was dumbfounded, and Zheng Shishi, who happened to walk to Liu Yuan's side, was also dumbfounded, this name was too ostentatious.

"Okay, it's decided, my nephew has a lot of things, and I have to bother the third uncle to go to the store and make me a plaque back. Liu Yuan arched his hand and said, regardless of whether the third uncle agreed or not, he took out a penny of broken silver from his sleeve and threw it over, "Just be an ordinary one." ”

I secretly said in my heart, it's really time for the third uncle to come.

"This little bit of silver can't be done well. The third uncle muttered, grabbed the silver on the table and got up to leave.

"What's the matter?" asked Liu Yuan when he saw Zheng Shidong standing beside him.

"Well, I don't know where the tea leaves are. Zheng was a little embarrassed.

"Oh, forget it, the third uncle is gone anyway. Hearing this, the third uncle, who happened to walk to the threshold, stumbled.

After everything was arranged, Liu Yuan's heart became more and more uncontrollable, wanting to see what the rich reward of the hidden task was, so naturally he couldn't look at it in front of things.

"You pack up the tables and stools, and I'll go up and look at the house. Liu Yuan put down the next sentence, stepped up the stairs in three or two steps, then closed the door, couldn't wait to take out the pendant, turned it over, and clicked the word task.

Sure enough, on the top of the three daily tasks, it was written in golden font: The hidden task is completed, Zheng Dongxi is not dead, the completion degree is eight points, and whether to receive the reward.

Yes, Liu Yuan nodded lightly.
