Chapter 13: Money Makes Trouble
Everyone said that they dispersed, and there was nothing to do all night, and the next morning it was still the same as usual, and the inn was full of people when the sky was slightly bright, and everyone behaved the same, everyone was so polite, and the atmosphere exuded was so peaceful.
If they didn't know the reason for this, they would be very willing to see such a thing, they already knew that this was abnormal, and they would inevitably feel a little awkward in their hearts, and it would inevitably be a little different from usual when serving guests.
This time, the customers were unnatural, but fortunately everyone was very busy at this time, although they didn't pay much attention to the strange things with the store.
Soon they found a problem, those things that had changed were only outside the inn, and everyone who lived in the inn was the same as usual, except for the couple.
This also verifies a problem, those monsters did not attack the inn, as for the reason is nothing more than Xiao Qi's sake, it would be good if this was the case, after all, there is such a powerful character as Xiao Qi here, those little monsters dare not shoot easily.
Lu Mu still has a faint worry in his heart, if the monster doesn't come not just because of Xiao Qi, then things will be even more complicated, and now things make Lu Mu a little overwhelmed, he regrets why he is responsible for these things, the leader is really not easy to do.
Master hasn't replied yet, there must be a problem here, Zili is their communication tool and has a special guard, once there is any problem, they will report it as soon as possible.
At first, Lu Mu thought that it was the master that they had not yet found a solution, so they did not notify them, and soon Lu Mu denied such an idea, even if they could not find a way, they should also be informed.
At least let them know that they had received the message, and now that there was no response, it was hard not to wonder if something was wrong, but they still had to wait before they received a response.
They don't know anything now, and if they do, no one knows what will happen, and it's best for them to keep the status quo.
Yu Jin and Xiao Qi are cooking in the back kitchen, they rarely use mana, the two stand on the side and look preoccupied, Xiao Qi always glances at Yu Jin from time to time, she has something to say, but she doesn't dare to speak when she looks at Yu Jin.
According to their plan last night, she and Yu Jin should go to the mountain to find the two monsters today, looking at Yu Jin's appearance, she has no intention of acting at all, Xiao Qi understands in her heart that this is the result of everyone's discussion.
Xiao Qi has nothing to say about this result, after all, she is just a helping character in the whole incident, and according to Xiao Qi's character, they should not be so passive.
What danger they said did not exist in Xiao Qi's eyes, not that there was none, but Xiao Qi instinctively felt that even if there was really something, they could easily solve it.
Xiao Qi is very confident in her own ability, has Xiao Qi seen their cultivation before, just looking at the cultivation, she doesn't think that anyone in the world can subdue them.
Since this is the case, she has to take the initiative, this is Xiao Qi's idea, and it is just her idea, she didn't say it and didn't plan to say it, she knew that what she thought was always what she thought.
Yu Jin was also thinking about what happened last night, and now she also regretted letting go of those two little demons, if she caught them, there might not be two little demons, maybe the first time was just a coincidence.
Originally, Lu Jin was not worried in her heart, because she knew that even if she let them go, it would be easy to catch them again, and they had planned to do so.
Through yesterday's analysis of Hoard, Lu Jin felt that this matter was more complicated than they thought, and things that seemed to have no logic at all really happened in front of them, and these things were inextricably linked.
Yu Jin felt in his heart that they were facing a branch of a big net, as long as there was any improper handling, what would follow was a trap, and in the face of such a situation, they could only stand still.
Xiao Qi felt that her thoughts were not easy to say, but she was still a person in the end, and it was very uncomfortable not to say anything, Xiao Qi glanced at Yu Jin again, Yu Jin was still thinking about things, Xiao Qi mustered up the courage and said: "Sister, do we still want to find those monsters?"
Yu Jin was in a trance, and was excited by her instinct to question like this, looking at this Xiao Qi and smiling slightly: "Wait for now, I don't know yet." "Said it and fell into deep thought.
Listening to her words, Xiao Qi lowered his head and said softly: "I think we are a little passive like this, and we only have points for being beaten." Lu Jin was stunned and looked at Xiao Qi for a moment, and then smiled.
Xiao Qi's heart to help Lu Jin was very clear, she wanted to do something, and she seemed a little anxious, Yu Jin suddenly felt a little embarrassed, she cared too much about her own affairs, and even ignored Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi is not the same as them, she is a child, coupled with her special identity, she very much hopes not to be left out in her heart, although Yu Jin's approach is unintentional, but Xiao Qi is too sensitive.
Lu Jin stretched his waist and said, "These things are too complicated, let's do the essential work." ”
Xiao Qi raised his head, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, although the mana is good, there are still some differences between it and what my sister did by herself." As he spoke, he put away his mana and ran to the board to start chopping vegetables.
Lu Jin looked at Xiao Qi's appearance and smiled helplessly, and there were a lot of feelings in his heart, the moment Xiao Qi came, Yu Jin felt that the burden on his body was a little heavy.
This is a completely different feeling from before, before she was just doing things for the sake of the task, doing it for the sake of doing it, but now she feels that she has to do it, only in this way can she take responsibility in her heart.
At the same time, she is more worried about the affairs of Longbow Town, no matter what, she must figure these things out, only then can she better deal with the danger that will come.
Yu Jin sighed softly and stretched again, this time she did it unconsciously, since she didn't know what was going to happen, she finished what was in front of her first, no matter what she was facing, she was not alone.
When they started cooking, Lu Mu was standing behind the counter, and he was settling accounts at this time before, and they naturally didn't open this inn to make money, money was nothing to them at all.
Other people may not mean this purely when they say such things, they are indeed true when they say them, they are cultivators, mortals, those food, clothing, shelter and transportation have no problems for them at all, they don't have to think about these things at all, as for other powers and powers, they don't care.
They have obtained one of the greatest desires of mortals, immortality, for those mortals this is the ultimate goal, but unfortunately this is not an easy thing, no matter how noble you are in the world, how great your power, how much money you have, immortality cannot be achieved.
However, there are many people who do not believe in this evil, especially those who are the so-called masters in the world, for some reason, they can easily do one thing in the world, and when there are more such things, they will form a habit, and they instinctively think that they can also obtain immortality by relying on their own power.
So they did so, visiting the Tao of immortals, praying to God and worshiping Buddha, but they did not practice, while hoping to get good fortune and immortality, and on the other hand, they did things that harmed others, benefited themselves, and harmed nature and reason.
They always instinctively think that the good immortals they do can see, and the good immortals they do can't see, but unfortunately, these people are always putting the cart before the horse, even if they really encounter some methods, in the end it is just a mirror flower and water moon falling into the crooked path of the evil door and falling into endless suffering.
Everyone can cultivate, everyone can attain the Tao, since ancient times there is a teaching: the method has its own, the heart can be found, this is the only way to live forever, if it is a person who is dedicated to seeking the Tao, naturally it will no longer be demanding of longevity, for them the ultimate goal is the supreme avenue, and longevity is just the product of the middle.
It's really a ridiculous thing to think about, obviously there is the most correct way to go the same way, and in the end it falls into no way out, you can't be bullied in the world, there are only two things that can't be bullied, one is sincerity and the other is the way of heaven, and this is even a famous saying, and it should be worry-free.
Despite this, you still have to charge money for eating and living in the inn, after all, food and other things can't be transformed, and they also have to come in from those farmers, and the things in the world naturally have to follow the rules of the world.
Most of the income of the Round-trip Inn is to maintain a balance of payments, and as for the majority of the income, it has also created a lot of problems for them, and in order to maintain the fairness of Longbow Town, they dare not let the fee standard be too lenient.
After all, it's not themselves who do business here, they don't care about money, they don't need money and someone always needs it, and it is precisely because of this that they still have a lot of surpluses, which are useless to them, and for this they have also come up with a lot of methods.
The simplest thing is to send it to those poor people, it was okay at first, those poor people were very happy after getting the money, and they were also very happy to look at it, and gradually there was a problem.
The reason why people are human is because they have desires, everyone has desires, whether they are poor or rich, Lu Mu They soon found out that they gave money to those poor people, they helped them for a while but harmed them for a lifetime, and the reason for this is that Lu Mu no longer wants to mention it.
Fortunately, they found out immediately, and later they used a lot of measures, such as getting a free porridge shed or something, but the result was still not any better, it was very good at the beginning, and gradually revealed a lot of drawbacks.
It was also from that time that I learned that doing good deeds is not so easy, doing good deeds is not a result but a process, the longer the process, the worse the result must be, and another point is that doing good deeds is always a two-sided thing.
In the end, they had no choice but to turn the money into things, such as building a river embankment, paving roads and building bridges, although there are also many problems in the implementation process, which is also unavoidable, and this problem will occur where there are people.
In short, the final result is the best, after all, whether it is the river embankment or the road, it is not everyone's and everyone's about, of course, the best thing is that they built a lot of private schools, which is the best of all the bad methods, and the principles in the book are still correct.
After this incident, all of them instinctively sighed, and Yan Yan also joked: "I never thought that doing good deeds is so tiring, and it is much more difficult to help those mortals than to deal with monsters." ”
Everyone was deeply touched by this, and it was very much after Lu Mu figured out this matter, and the reason was to blame them, from the time they helped, they hoped to get something, like what the poor no longer suffer from poverty, and those who can't eat have something to eat.
Although the ultimate beneficiary of these benefits is not them, once the purpose is not pure, there will be a lot of incidents, and it is much easier to fight the monster, just want to destroy him.
In short, in the end, the matter was satisfactorily resolved, and they no longer had to worry about what to do with the money, which was good for them, and good for those who were helped, at least in the recent past.
Lu Mu their division of labor is very clear, Lu Mu is just to settle accounts, this seems to be an easy job but it is not, after all, there are so many people who come to the inn, whether it is to find more people or less people is a bad thing.
Every day, Lu Mu has to spend a lot of energy on this, not much easier than cultivation, Lu Mu once said with great feeling why people in the world are keen to make money, this is obviously a sad and laborious thing, they will not understand, will never understand
