Ninety Thousand Miles Across the Weird World

Chapter 168 The humble life

Donghai County.

There are four seas on this continent, the easternmost of which is called the East Sea, and it is vast and tens of millions of hectares.

Legend has it that there is a fairy mountain in the East China Sea, and there are land gods on the mountain, who can travel to the North Sea at dusk, eat the wind and drink the dew, and ride a dragon and ride the fog.

It's a pity, legends are legends after all, no one or ghosts have ever seen any land gods.

Donghai County is located on the East China Sea, on a plain. This is a small county that makes a living by drying salt and fishing, and the people live in a normal way.

Those who have hands and feet are okay, anyway, if they are physically handicapped, it will be really miserable, and they can't even get food.

Shangluo, lying in a dilapidated courtyard, he can't move his hands and feet, it's hard to turn over, and he can't take care of himself at all.

In fact, he only had a broken foot before. After Uncle Fu brought him to the East China Sea, Uncle Fu worked hard to earn money to support him. He earned so much that some people were jealous and were beaten to death by a few hooligans.

In addition, Shang Luo's hand was broken by them, and the burden of life was all on the damselfly.

Damselfly, Shang Luo and Wang Fu's friend in need, came to Donghai County, and the three rented a small courtyard and lived together.

After Wang Fu's death, the damselflies couldn't pay the rent, and the landlord came to evict them.

"Girl, it's not the mother-in-law talking about you, how much rent do you all owe? The mother-in-law really wants to keep you, and the mother-in-law also wants to earn money to eat!"

An old woman in a blue cloth was pulling the damselflies and whispering.

This old lady is the landlord, known as Granny Wang, and she works part-time as a dentist, a matchmaker, and other messy businesses, and her character is extremely bad.

There are even rumors that she can perform magic tricks.

In the past, there were many matchmakers in Donghai County, but they all died without knowing what was going on.

The government searched casually, didn't bother to appeal for ordinary people, and didn't find out anything famous, so the matter was left alone.

There are rumors in the market that it was Grandma Wang who killed her, but there is no evidence, and mortals are naturally afraid of evil people, so Grandma Wang has always been at large.

"Grandma Wang, I beg you to give me a few more days, I... I recently found a laundry job, and I will have money soon."

The damselfly stretched out her small hand, which was covered with frostbite. In this world, starching and washing clothes is not easy to do, and the clothes that can be received are usually large pieces, which are very difficult to wash.

The damselflies wash their hands until they freeze and make money too.

Granny Wang grabbed Damselfly's hand and sighed: "What a girl, girl, my mother-in-law will introduce you to a good family. Don't be with that useless man of yours."

Just as Damselfly was about to explain that Shang Luo was not her man, Granny Wang pulled her over forcefully, her face turned cold.

"Girl, you should think about it. If you don't have the money to pay the rent, your mother-in-law will be kicked out. There are countless homeless people outside. You are a girl living on the street. What will happen?"

There was a fierce look on Granny Wang's face: "Girl, I lost your man, and my mother-in-law will take you to a good place where you can make a lot of money and eat delicious food."

The damselfly was taken aback, she immediately realized what Granny Wang wanted to do.

Before Wang Fu was alive, someone was protecting them. Now that Wang Fu is dead, she is a weak woman and a disabled person, and the evil people miss her.

The damselfly said timidly, "I, let me think about it today, can Granny Wang allow me a few days?"

The damselfly lowered her head and twisted the corners of her clothes with her hands, looking timid and hesitant.

Granny Wang felt contemptuous.

Guessing that the damselfly would not be able to bear the hardships, and was about to talk, Granny Wang nodded, "Of course, girl, you can stay in my house for one more day, and Granny will come back tomorrow."

"Well, mother-in-law, go slowly."

Granny Wang smiled kindly, estimating the price of damselflies in her heart, and where to sell them would be the most profitable.

Rich man's concubine?

The girl's figure is okay, but her color is mediocre, and there are freckles on her face, which rich people don't like.

The poor cannot pay the price.

Damselflies happen to belong to the neither-beautiful-or-ugly type, so it’s a pity that they are sold at a low price.

It's better to buy a kiln and pick up customers every day.

After seeing off Granny Wang, Damselfly packed up the package immediately, found a cart, dragged Shangluo into the cart, and covered it with a blanket.

"Brother Shangluo, I don't think that mother-in-law is a good person. I want to take you away." The damselfly said in a low voice.

Shang Luo closed his eyes, too lazy to speak.

Even though the damselfly's thin body was pulling the cart, and walking on the street with difficulty, her shoulders were worn out.

After walking for a long time, I finally found a stone cave on the outskirts of the city, Donghai Bay.

The damselfly spread out the tattered quilt she brought, and dragged Shangluo into the cave with great effort.

"Brother Shang, don't worry, Uncle Fu is dead, I will take care of you in the future, I can make money to support you."

"as you like."

Shang Luo finally spoke, his tone was elegant and indifferent.

The damselfly opened her mouth, wanting to say something else, but Shang Luo simply turned over with difficulty, facing her from behind.

Damselfly smiled wryly.

Shangluo is a weirdo, he has no feelings for anyone, Uncle Fu treated him so well, when he died, he didn't cry or show any expression.

Damselfly and Uncle Fu just met by chance, and she was crying so hard.

Sometimes the damselflies really want to give up Shangluo, but think about the grace of saving their lives, and think about Uncle Fu's sigh before he died.

The damselflies relented.

Big brother Shang is a weird person, his hands and feet are all disabled, he must be deliberately trying to drive me away, for fear of dragging me down.

"Don't worry, Brother Shang, I don't think you are a drag, I won't leave."

The damselfly grinned and thought of a reason.

Shang Luo didn't speak, just lay there motionless, the damselfly thought he was guilty, so she smiled and tidied up the cave.

From now on, the cave will be their home.

……

Li Jun here.

He Sanwen raised it for some days, and finally finished the Dragon Bone Knife. The handle of the knife is engraved with the word Dragon Bone, decorated with a dragon, that is...

Shenlong looked weird, similar to He San, Li Jun took the keel bone and thought about it.

It's neither heavy nor light, just took advantage of it, the key point is that it looks like a butcher's knife from the outside.

Li Jun held the keel and practiced martial arts every day. Xuanshui's life arrangement was rich, and Li Jun's young life was quite nourishing.

A few old women next door even brought girls over every day, under the euphemistic name of helping him find a virtuous wife to warm the quilt.

In fact, they were relatives or even daughters of them, or they gave money and asked for help to introduce them to Li Jun.

Without exception, Li Jun drove them all away.

On this day, Li Jun was practicing martial arts again.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The courtyard door was unlocked.

squeak~

The heavy door opened slowly.

Two people walked in, one was An Dawang, and the other was Li Jun, who looked familiar, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the charming woman Zhukou had rescued before.

"Is something wrong?"

Li Jun stood in front of the door and said calmly.

"Master Li." An Dawang said embarrassedly: You helped me a lot, saving Xixi twice, I'm here to express my thanks. "

"Uh, please accept these mountain goods. We farmers don't have money, so we can't buy good things as gifts."

"very good already."

Li Jun smiled and made a gesture of asking for An Dawang and the girl to come in.
