Wu Xinqiu's residence has long been out of surplus food, and now he is at the point where he can't open the pot, since yesterday afternoon until now, he has not eaten a drop of rice, not to mention that he is weak, even if he is a strong person, he has already fallen hungry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

What's more, after taking the Qi Nourishing Pill before, the body's metabolism has accelerated, and the physical energy consumption is extremely high, just now because I was in the happy energy of breaking through the realm, so I didn't feel hungry, but now the momentum has disappeared, and I don't feel hungry again.

However, if he wanted to find food, he had to go to the nearest market, and the nearest market was almost ten miles away, and he felt that he had no strength to go.

Although there are few people around, they don't know each other on weekdays, and they don't necessarily agree to borrow food for no reason.

As for going to the mountains and forests to hunt game, Wu Xinqiu knew that he didn't have that ability, so he sighed, and went out of the mountains to buy some surplus grain.

I gave Zhao Mingyi five taels or three dollars of silver before, and I didn't have much left, but fortunately, I was also economical on weekdays, and I didn't pay attention to food and clothing.

Now that I've thought about it, I only have one or two pieces of silver on me, save a little, and I can almost live for another month, and after that, I have to find a way to do it myself, after all, it is impossible for the family to send money to me again.

Thinking of this, Wu Xinqiu couldn't help but think of Li Jieshi, saying that he would no longer see him after he fell into the abyss yesterday. Now he was afraid that his life and death were uncertain, and he would either be killed by the bandits and thrown into the wilderness, or he might still be tortured in their hands.

But no matter what, he shouldn't be doing very well, and he has to find a way to see if he can find half of the news about him, so that even if he returns to his hometown later, he will have some explanation.

But now the top priority is to succeed in gathering energy, if you succeed in gathering energy, you should have a lot of chances of winning against that group of robbers, otherwise you will have to flee in the wilderness.

Sanhe Town is the place where Wu Xinqiu and many other outer disciples purchase rice food, here is almost ten miles away from the place of Huangmen Outer Gate, and it is full of mountain roads, if you don't often walk, and don't know the road, I'm afraid it's rare to be able to walk back and forth.

The town is not very large, and it is located in the middle of nowhere, far from the intersections, and the population is withering, so it is not very prosperous.

If it weren't for the fact that there are many outer disciples trading here, this town would have been dilapidated long ago, and the Huangmen strictly forbade the disciples to reveal their identities in the world, one is afraid of excessive publicity, and the other is afraid of the enemy's targeting, so most of the disciples in the door are low-key, not revealing that they are Xianmen disciples, although the residents of the town are always curious There are always many strangers who come here to buy daily necessities, but they can't know their origins.

When Wu Xinqiu arrived at Sanhe Town, the market had already closed here, and the vendors who set up stalls along the street were almost away, although it was afternoon, but the sun still did not mean to decrease, and there were still some traders who hoped to make more money in the scorching summer and still insisted in the scorching sun.

"Boss, how do you count this rice. Wu Xinqiu came to a rice shop with a façade.

This boss is a middle-aged man, with a somewhat fat figure, a little rickety back, gray sideburns, and a tattered hat, sitting on the stall, rubbing rice grains with one hand and playing a pu fan with the other.

"Two hundred wen a pound. The rice shop owner didn't raise his head, and continued to shake his head and sigh again and again.

"Weigh me three pounds. "Three catties of rice is not much, so I can't eat rice, I can only drink porridge every day, so that I can support more days.

"Here you go. The owner of the rice shop handed over the weighed three catties of rice to Wu Xinqiu, and Wu Xinqiu also gave the money to the man. "You walk slowly. ”

After walking for more than 20 steps, I heard someone shouting from behind, "Hey, surnamed Zhao, when will you pay back the money?" I see that you have repeatedly resigned, do you not want to repay the money, and if you don't pay back, your daughter will ......?"

This voice is familiar to Wu Xinqiu, but after thinking about it carefully, he can't remember it, and it doesn't seem to be an old man. He turned around, but he was almost not startled, isn't this Zhang Lao Er, Chen San'er and his party, seeing that a few of them are gathered around the rice shop owner, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to him.

The owner of the rice shop had a bitter face and begged for mercy: "Please spare me, if you have a little more grace, I will definitely make up the money and return it to you, my daughter is still young, and I hope you will raise your noble hand and don't embarrass her." ”

From this point of view, the owner of this rice shop is afraid that he owes such a debt to the king of Hades, and he can't pay it back, so he even mortgages his daughter.

Where can the debts of the king of Hades be repaid, and the interest is rolling, and the final interest is much higher than the principal, and many people are forced to ruin their families by such debts, selling their sons and daughters and even their wives.

"The surname is Zhao, don't say that Lao Tzu doesn't give you a chance, how many times has Lao Tzu given you a chance? Last year, you owed me fifty taels of gambling debts, and now you have to repay me one hundred and twenty taels with interest, can you afford it? With your broken rice stall, you can't afford to pay back the money even if you sell it, and your relatives still have money to lend you? What else do you say you can use to pay it back?" Chen San'er screamed strangely.

This is also said, in order to repay the debt of the king of Hades, Zhao Kongyuan has already borrowed relatives and friends, and the reputation of the whole person has been overdrawn, but he still can't plug this hole, and even has to mortgage his daughter and wife to this group of people, and now he is penniless, and he can't repay the money.

The money I worked hard for every month had to be used to repay the interest in the end, and until now, I haven't even repaid a penny of the principal.

"I ...... I'll figure it out, please, give me three more days, please, give me another chance. Zhao Kongyuan was already depressed, kneeling on the ground and hugging Chen San'er's thigh and begging for mercy.

Chen San'er showed a malicious smile, "Okay, I'll give you another chance, surnamed Zhao, three days, if you don't pay back after three days, then I will accept your daughter, I just lack a maid, your daughter is so well-behaved, I like it a lot." He started screaming again.

Zhao Kongyuan's face turned pale, "Please let go of my daughter, she is only twelve years old, as long as you let my daughter go, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for you!"

Chen San'er kicked him away and spat on him, "The surname is Zhao, let's just say it, three days later, I will come to you to withdraw money, if it is ready, I will wait for the natural two, if not, your daughter will be a maid for me, hear no!"

Only Zhao Kongyuan was left as a big man, sitting on the ground and crying, and a group of people around him pointed and pointed, some sympathized, some scolded him for deserving it, and some encouraged him to go to customs declaration.

After a while, the onlookers also dispersed, Wu Xinqiu sat aside, looked at the general situation, had some calculations in his heart, patted his thigh, and said to himself: "It's decided." ”

Wu Xinqiu walked into the rice shop quickly and pulled Zhao Kongyuan up, "Boss Zhao, don't cry, just crying can't solve this kind of thing." ”

Zhao Kongyuan looked at the strange man in front of him, wiped his tears, and said with a wry smile: "How could I not know, but now I have no other way, let alone one hundred and twenty taels, even if I can't pay back the original principal, I borrowed so much money and didn't pay it back, my relatives and friends are not willing to lend it to me, my small business is so profitable, where is there enough to pay them back." ”

"What are you going to do after those three days? You can't really give up your wife and daughter, I think Boss Zhao, although you are not a good person, at least you are not really heartless. ”

Wu Xinqiu handed over a handkerchief and asked Zhao Kongyuan to wipe his face.

Zhao Kongyuan shook his head, "I don't know what to do in three days, little brother, you give me a note, what should I do?" You say, should I go to rob the road, or go to Zhou Yuanwai's house tonight to steal some antiques, I heard that those are also quite valuable, ......can't you? Then I'll still die, anyway, if I can't pay the money, I will still be beaten to death by them, I might as well kill myself, and avoid some torture. ”

Wu Xinqiu is considered to have served this Zhao Kongyuan, others have bullied him like this, he even wants to bully others, it seems that this Zhao Kongyuan is not a good person, and he would rather commit suicide than fight up, pull the enemy's back, and really was bullied to death by a splash.

Wu Xinqiu shook his head, "Let's think something practical, Boss Zhao, you can think about it, maybe in three days, your wife and daughter will not be yours." ”

But now Zhao Kongyuan has nothing to do, why doesn't he want to redeem his wife and daughter, but he has no money and no ability, so it's useless to have an idea to be in a hurry.

"Why don't we report to the official, and let the county lord call the shots for us." ”

Wu Xinqiu sighed, this Zhao Kongyuan is really naïve, it would be best if the county lord didn't get up with these splashes to bully him, he actually wanted the county lord to help him out,

"Boss Zhao, these splashes have ruined the family you bullied, you don't want to resist on your own, who do you expect?"

As if it had been broken, Zhao Kongyuan suddenly had a murderous intent on his face, gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, what Gongzi said is right, I will go and fight with them, kill one is enough, kill two to make money, you want my family to be ruined, and I will let you die a good death." ”

After speaking, he was about to rush out with a knife, Wu Xinqiu hurriedly grabbed him and pressed him to the chair, Zhao Kongyuan asked puzzledly: "Childe, what do you mean by this? Childe, didn't you ask me to find them to resist?"

Wu Xinqiu waved his hand, signaling that the other party had misinterpreted his meaning, "Resistance is to resist, you just rushed up like this to send you to death for no reason, they are overwhelming, you are invincible with two fists and four hands, it is useless to have some courage, if you only use a little strategy, Boss Zhao himself can be safe." ”

Zhao Kongyuan was overjoyed, and when he heard that the other party had a plan to save himself, he knelt on the ground, and quickly kowtowed three times, "If the son can save the lives of the three of my family, he will be the benefactor of my Zhao Kongyuan family, and my family will repay the kindness of the son even if he is a cow and a horse." ”

Wu Xinqiu hurriedly helped Zhao Kongyuan up, he didn't need to be a cow and a horse, and now he needed the two of them to join forces to deal with that group of splashes, and as for what to do, he had to calculate it again.
