Plain girl fairy

Chapter 5 Mantou and Friends

Some people came in one after another. Mo Xue counted a total of [-] people, and they sat together in a group. Mo Xue saw that the people who sat together were all dressed in the same clothes, but no one paid attention to Mo Xue and the two of them. indivual.Mo Xue didn't care too much, the month of homelessness made her used to people's indifference and exclusion.

When it was getting dark, someone came over with a large bowl of steamed buns. When Mo Xue saw it, she quietly approached the person from the corner. When the person turned to leave, Mo Xue quickly stretched out both hands, one Grabbing two steamed buns, she quickly sat back to the corner.

This time, the friends in the room were completely stunned. Damn, the speed was too fast. After a few seconds of stunned, everyone came back to their senses, and then swarmed to grab the steamed buns. At this moment, Mo Xue and Cuihua He has already gnawed on the delicious steamed buns.As she was eating, she suddenly became sad. It would be great if everyone could eat such delicious steamed buns, if Daniel was still there, and Da Ya and Mo Yan hadn't disappeared.

After Mo Xue finished eating a steamed bun, she turned around and saw that the basin was completely empty.Mo Xue suddenly heard a burst of sobbing, and only saw a well-dressed little boy who didn't grab the steamed buns and was sitting beside him crying. When Mo Xue saw this little boy, he felt that he was like his younger brother. .She walked over to hand him the steamed buns she had just grabbed, but the boy knocked her hand off: "Go away, beggar, who wants your charity." The steamed buns rolled a long way on the ground, and the people in the house The children all laughed, as if they were laughing at a beggar for wanting to give alms to civilians, but upon closer inspection, they seemed to be laughing at her fake good person and her overreaching.

When Mo Xue heard the little boy's words, her heart twitched, as if she was in pain, but she didn't say anything. She looked carefully at the little boy in front of her and smiled.I actually feel that he looks like my younger brother. He is obviously the same age as me, so why do I feel that he looks like my younger brother?And he was obviously wearing the muslin that his mother brought to press the bottom of the box. How could he accept the food of a stinky beggar like himself? !
I have obviously been a beggar for a month, so I should have winked a little bit. Why do I have such overwhelmed sympathy? !Mo Xue walked back, picked up the steamed buns rolled on the ground, patted the dust on them, then went back to her corner, and stuffed them into her mouth one by one. They were obviously very delicious steamed buns, but why did they seem a bit bitter, as if Not that tasty.

Suddenly there were two hands, tugged on her clothes, Mo Xue turned her head and saw Cuihua, she patted her stomach, looked at Mo Xue, and said seriously: "I haven't eaten enough yet, take this half Give me the steamed buns."

After Cuihua finished speaking, she took the steamed bun in her hand.

Mo Xue looked at her empty hands, and then at Cuihua who was gobbling up steamed buns, her heart suddenly felt sour, and she felt that her dry eye sockets were suddenly moist.After all, she is an eight-year-old girl, no matter how precocious she is, that's it.

The world is cold-eyed, what does it have to do with me?Mo Xue's previous grievances disappeared without a trace because of Cuihua's behavior, "Thank you, Cuihua!"

"What are you talking about, I should thank you, thank you for taking care of me along the way, and thank you for letting me eat your own food." Cuihua held her hand and said, "If it weren't for you, I would May have died long ago, I hope we can be good friends for life."

"Of course." Mo Xue nodded, and also squeezed Cuihua's hand: "Of course we will be good friends for life."

"Oh, what are the two beggars talking about as good friends for a lifetime, maybe they will die tomorrow." A child beside him laughed.

"What nonsense are you talking about, we won't die." Mo Xue refuted without showing any weakness.

"Hmph, do you know how dangerous tomorrow's test is?" The boy said with a dark face, obviously he didn't expect a stinky beggar to refute his words, after all, she didn't say a word after being swept up in such a way just now, She even picked up the steamed buns on the ground and ate them, but now she even refuted it when she was told.

"Did you guys not come two days ago? Let me tell you, among the people in our room, two out of ten will die, and five will be poisoned. At most, three can pass safely and become interns." .”

"Hmph." Mo Xue snorted coldly, cursing the two of them just now made her not have the slightest affection for this boy. She lived so hard, lived so hard, she still had so many goals in this world that she hadn't accomplished yet. , how willing to die. "Even if you are going to die or get hurt, it's you. Didn't there be three people who passed through safely? There must be two of us among those three people."

"I don't know what to do." Seeing Mo Xue say this, the boy also imitated the cold snort, and sat down sullenly.

The next day's test came soon. Mo Xue and the children in the same room were called into the yard. Including the people in other rooms, there were hundreds of people in total. They were instructed to stand separately by men and women.But the strange thing was that apart from the turbulence of the crowd, no one spoke. In the oppressive atmosphere, and because of what the boy said yesterday, Mo Xue was a little more vigilant about the upcoming test.

Soon, the steward who I met yesterday came out from the main entrance, and saw all his children shrinking back. Although Mo Xue didn't know the reason, she knew that since everyone was told to hide, it must be a test. What a good thing, so she took Cuihua and hid among the crowd.

The steward ordered a few people at random. Mo Xue noticed that they were five men and five women. Because they were pushed to the front, they were picked by the steward.Then a few boys and girls in gorgeous clothes came out and grabbed them and walked into the house. The strange thing was that the children who were pointed out cried and shouted not to go, and kicked and kicked their legs, as if they were going to be tortured.Mo Xue secretly kept their performance in mind, and was a little more afraid of this test.

After a stick of incense, the children who had just been taken out all came out. As expected, two of them were carried out, and some fell to the ground foaming at the mouth, some laughed madly, and some had facial hair. Red rashes, anyway, the manifestations are different, only one or two came out with a smile on their faces, seemingly unscathed, and the other few looked black and blue, but someone came to feed them a pill, Then they came to life very quickly.

Mo Xue didn't know what was going on, so she walked up to a girl who seemed to be more talkative after the person she picked up the second time entered the gate, and asked her what was going on.

"Girl, you look so beautiful and have a real temperament. At first glance, you look like a lady from a rich family." Everyone likes to hear good words, even if the girl in front of you is only wearing civilian clothes and is not so beautiful, but After hearing what Mo Xue said, her cheeks were still flushed with red.

These compliments were all learned during the previous month's wandering life. Many elders and aunts couldn't stand it, let alone an eight or nine-year-old girl, so Mo Xue chatted with her very quickly.

"No way, I'm just a commoner, not a young lady." The girl in front of me replied.

Mo Xue pretended to be surprised and widened her eyes: "Ah, is that so? I have met many young ladies, and they are not as beautiful and temperamental as you."

Hearing what Mo Xue said, the little girl waved her hands repeatedly, but the smile in her eyes couldn't be stopped no matter what.I thought to myself, this little beggar is quite discerning.

"Oh, girl, what's the matter with this test? Why does everyone seem to be scared?" Mo Xue asked casually.

"You're new here, right?" Hearing Mo Xue's question, the girl's eyes showed a little fear, but she looked at Mo Xue with a ignorant face, and looked at her curiously, as if she was very powerful and knew nothing. She seemed to understand, the girl's vanity was greatly satisfied, she pretended to be old-fashioned and sighed, "Oh, seeing that you want to know so much, I'll tell you, so that you don't even know how to die .”

"Thank you so much!" Mo Xue nodded hurriedly, looking very happy.

A quarter of an hour later, Mo Xue knew the content of the test, and her heart broke out in a cold sweat. After she thanked the girl, she walked to the end with Cuihua calmly.

Although one has to die sooner or later, everyone wants to die later.

To talk about the content of this test, we have to start with the origin of Zhuyutang.

Mo Xue's guess was correct, this Zhuyutang was indeed a shop that made and sold women's jade hairpin rings in the beginning.Later, after development, the shop grew bigger and bigger, and it gradually became uneconomical to buy some pearls and jade from outside, so a branch hall was gradually developed, specializing in searching for pearls on the seabed, or jade mines in the mountains.This is the original body of Zhuyutang.

Later, Zhuyutang opened bigger and bigger, and began to meet some martial arts figures. It was no longer just a simple business. They found that they could also find some precious medicinal materials on the way to search for jade mines from the mountains. At that time, society was chaotic. People in the martial arts world often fight and kill, and poisoning and injuries have become commonplace.And these medicinal materials are exactly what martial arts people need most, so gradually some medicinal materials business started.

Today, the original Zhuyutang has become the Zhuyu Gang, which means stationed in the entire world. In fact, the Zhuyu Gang is indeed one of the seven top gangs in Qi, and even the royal family dare not provoke them easily. .The original Zhuyutang was preserved as a branch of the Zhuyu Gang. The Zhuyutang in Qishan County is also one of the branches of the Zhuyutang headquarters. hall and inner hall.

The disciples of Yubu are all men, and the disciples of the outer hall mainly go to the mountains to gather medicine, and this medicine naturally includes some animals that can be used as medicine, such as snake gallbladder and musk.Valuable medicinal materials grow in some steep places such as deep mountains and wild forests, so the danger is very high, and it is said that there is no one out of ten.

Of course, they are also looking for jade mines, but jade mines are so rare that most of them have already been discovered, so as long as they can find a valuable jade mine, they will be directly promoted to branch hall masters.The inner hall disciples don't need to go out, they only need to make medicines in the hall. Not only the status is high, but the danger is also low.

On the contrary, the Zhubu disciples are all composed of women.They are also divided into the outer hall and the inner hall. The disciples of the outer hall are mainly responsible for going to the sea to fish for pearls or go to the sea to find some other valuable things.And the disciples in the inner hall only need to grind beads to make medicine in the hall.

Since the two departments are responsible for different affairs, one is going up the mountain and the other is going down the sea, so their assessments are also completely different.
