Xuantian 1: Ancient Xuandongtian

Chapter 77
A few more days later, the day for the mercenary group to pay the hunting salary arrived.

"Old Wu, how much have you posted this month?"

"Not much…"

"How much is not much?"

"Thousands of millstones..."

"As you said, two or three thousand is also a few thousand, and eight or nine thousand is also a few thousand."

So the other party said a number.

Old Wu replied: "What about you? How much did you send..."

"Hey! I'm just a little..."

Immediately, he changed the subject and asked, "Brother Mu, how much have you posted?"

Mu Hanchan replied, "Thousands of dollars."

"I go."

The other party was obviously not interested in this perfunctory answer, and was too lazy to ask any more questions.

Suddenly, he said again: "Brother Mu, let me tell you! When looking for a job in the future, you must find someone like our mercenary group."

"How to say?"

"Because our group pays hunting salaries on the 5th of every month, and other groups usually pay on the 15th, and there are also 25ths."

Mu Hanchan asked, "Is there any difference?"

"Whoa!"

Lao Xie sighed, and said, "This is a big difference! The sooner they send out, the more abundant their funds are, and the financial system in the regiment is very mature. This is a demonstration of the true strength of the mercenary regiment."

He also said: "Everyone has come to this regiment to work hard for a month, isn't it just for the thousands of spirit stones?"

"Ooo!"

Mu Hanchan replied with some relief.

Seeing him like this, the other party asked with some doubts: "Hey, why don't you seem to be very interested in salary hunting?"

"what?"

Mu Hanchan said in surprise.

And said: "Is there?"

"Have!"

The other party said, and then said: "When people mention this matter, they all look forward to it, because some of them have spent the last month's hunting salary before halfway through the current month. In the days to come, they even have to borrow spirit stones to practice.

And you, you seem to be indifferent. "

After listening, Mu Hanchan looked a little dignified.

I thought to myself: even a seemingly exaggerated old Wu can detect my strangeness, it seems that I am indeed a little too undisguised.

In fact, it's not Mu Hanchan's fault. After all, considering his current net worth of 1125 spirit stones, the mercenary group's hunting salary is really not enough.

Even with the year-end hunting salary added, it may be less than 10 yuan a year at most.

According to this calculation, it would take 112 years and 6 months in this mercenary regiment without food or drink to have the current 1125 spirit stones.

Mu Hanchan's spirit stones are converted into low-grade spirit stones, not the millistones that are often said in the mercenary group.

1 piece of Lingshi (lower grade) = 10 centstones = 100 centistones = 1000 millistones.

Mu Hanchan smiled and said, "Thank you for joking, I've been busy for the past two days, the regiment said they would transfer me to night duty, and I was busy adjusting my schedule, so I didn't take care of it..."

When the other party heard this statement, he half-believed it.

Suddenly he smiled mysteriously, and said playfully: "Since the hunting salary has been paid, why don't I take you to a place to relax these two nights when I'm free?"

"what?"

Mu Hanchan wondered.

"About three hundred miles away from our main camp, there is a big banyan tree with an annual ring diameter of 640 feet, which is estimated to have lived at least [-] years."

"???"

Mu Hanchan asked puzzledly: "The diameter of the annual ring is 50 feet, and it has only lived for 640 years? Besides, isn't this a towering pine belt? How could there be a big banyan tree?"

"See you soon, Brother Mu."

Lao Xie said, and then said: "This banyan tree is of a different variety. It is not a conventional spiritual tree. It seems to have been migrated from Dongling Nanluo Mountain. The annual rings are one foot long, 50 feet long, so it is only 640 years.

And our general camp is already in the towering pine zone, the cold hemlock zone, the thick and short tree zone, the ringworm moss climbing grass zone, the acid rain and rotting wood zone, and the junction of the five major zones.

Not our mercenary regiment, other regiments also set up their general camps near here. "

Mu Hanchan said, "Oh, what is that big banyan tree for?"

"hey-hey!"

The other party smiled charmingly and said, "There are many beautiful girls inside. Most of the members of the mercenary group will go there to relax after finishing a cycle of hunting animals."

"How many beautiful girls are there?"

Mu Hanchan looked very interested.

"At least hundreds of them. If you sleep with one a day, you won't be able to sleep for a year."

Lao Xie said.

"Then what if I sleep ten a day?" Mu Hanchan said with a smile, he was trying to integrate into the mercenary group and make himself look less strange.

Lao Xie sighed: "Cut! Bragging again, are you that good?"

He added: "Besides, we don't have so many spirit stones!"

"Oh? How should I say it?" Mu Hanchan asked.

Old Xie sighed, and said, "Hey! Girls are beautiful, but they are expensive!"

"How many?"

"1500~3000."

Lao Xie said: "Most of them are like this, with good looks and young age. There are cheaper ones, [-], or even [-], but they are either ugly or old."

"Oh!" Mu Hanchan responded.

He also said: "Don't go if you think it's expensive, it's not easy for us to earn this bit of Lingshi."

But Lao Xie said: "How can I do that? I haven't touched a woman for more than half a year. Expensive is expensive, but you have a good figure, beautiful clothes, and the most important thing is to have temperament!"

Mu Hanchan said: "If you say the first few things, it's fine, but I don't agree with the last point. What kind of temperament can someone who does their job have?"

"Hey! Don't tell me, elegant, noble, gentle, calm, and calm."

Old Xie retorted.

At this time, Old Wu finally couldn't listen anymore, and said, "I said, Old Xie, don't you know that their gentleness is deliberately pretended when they serve you?"

"I know! But I just like this one. I like this feeling. When they sleep with me, I feel like I have a goddess, noble and cold, but smiling for me. It's like I have a fairy, playful Cute, but crying because of me. She seems to be a princess, strong and valiant, but weak to me."

Mu Hanchan scolded disdainfully: "What kind of goddess, fairy princess, she is not a bitch."

He is trying to create a persona, and this persona should be upright and not evil, hot and not cold, and suitable for crowds and not few.

Lao Xie was a little angry, it seemed that Mu Hanchan insulted the girl he loved, or broke his beautiful fantasy, which made him feel the coldness of reality, and said displeasedly: "Brother Mu, how can you say that about her? ?”

He also said: "People don't distinguish between high and low. If you talk like this, it's over."

Old Wu said: "Why don't people distinguish between high and low? There is a distinction between high and low, and there is a distinction between high and low. Not to mention those in the regiment, those disciples of the Cultivation of Immortals practice desperately, isn't it just to distinguish between high and low?

Those mortals, hard-working farmers, and thieves who steal the fruits of others, are farmers more noble and thieves lower? "

Lao Xie retorted: "There is a way to steal!"

"That can't erase the fact that you are a thief. It's as if a thief has a way, and a thief is still noble."

Lao Xie said again: "Maybe he is also forced by life, how do you know his suffering?"

"Don't... life forces you to have no hands or feet? Even if you have no hands or feet, you can be a beggar instead of a thief. You despise being a beggar and hurt your self-esteem, why don't you feel that being a thief is more detrimental to yourself?
At least, the copper coins in the beggar's bowl are given by others actively, and the money obtained by the thief is passively stolen by others. "

Seeing that the two seemed to be arguing, Mu Hanchan left silently.He even regretted what he said deliberately just now.

Before leaving, I heard Lao Wu say again: "As for the girls you mentioned, don't talk about being forced by life, and don't talk about forcing a girl into prostitution... In this era, there is only self-satisfaction... There is no such thing as forcing a girl into prostitution."

He also said: "If she can starve to death without being a brothel girl, I will admit that she is forced by life."

He also said: "As long as this is not the case, she is not worthy of pity. And no matter what misfortune she encounters later, she is also not worthy of pity."

After Mu Hanchan left, Lao Xie said again: "But I just like them..., listening to them tell me about those experiences, it's not nice to meet people. At that time, I felt that I had a sense of existence, and even sympathized with their experiences."

"You you... forget it!"

Old Wu was a little annoyed, and said, "He receives more customers in one night, earning more than you in a month. You still sympathize with him, I'm afraid your brain is flooded."

He also said: "Why do you meet people who are not kind? They are all not kind people themselves, how can they meet a kind person?
I am a rotten person, so I will naturally meet a rotten person?
And in the future, after they retire, they may harm another group of poor people, and they may be your kind of receiver. "

Seeing that Lao Wu's words were a bit harsh, Lao Xie was a little unhappy.

The atmosphere was a little awkward and silent.

After a long time, Lao Xie said again: "You always say they are pretending, but I feel that when I give them something, they are really happy, and they are really not pretending, which is different from what you said."

"Fuck!"

Old Wu seemed to marvel at the hopelessness of his friend, and cursed angrily: "If you give me something, I will be really happy too. If you are not happy, then you have not given enough.

But what good would that do you? "

"But I just can't help it."

"So after a year, you can't save a single spirit stone. The money is spent on whores."

He seemed to be complaining: "You always ask me to borrow spirit stones to maintain my daily practice and life."

Ugh!
Lao Xie also sighed, but then remained silent without saying a word.

"When you came out of Yihong Courtyard, don't you feel that there is a big difference between the coldness and wind on the road and the gentleness and intoxication before?

You are so poor that you can't even afford to cover the night.Or to bite the bullet.

Fifteen minutes ago, I was still feeling happy in the tenderness of a woman.In the next quarter of an hour, it was time to return to the camp.Because I have to continue working tomorrow.

On the way home, you feel desolate.

Because you have no expectations.No wife at home to prepare dinner for you, no children waiting for you at the door, happily saying: Ah, mother!Look, Daddy is back.

There are lights and festoons beside the road, and there are singing and dancing every night, it seems that there is no distinction between day and night.

just alas,

There are thousands of lights, but there is no one waiting for you to light up. "

Ugh!
Another silent sigh.
