I'm not a pet

Chapter 326 Sustaining Lives
South of Luohua City, Tianshan Inn.

Mei Shan was getting ready to go in the courtyard, Meng Jiu walked around him a few times, looked at him with a complicated expression after a while and said, "Brother Xiaoshan, are you sure you want to do this?"

Mei Shan looked at her, the warm eyes made Meng Jiu immediately feel relieved.

"Jiu'er, today is not the same as in the past. If you and I want to live, we must learn to be self-reliant."

"But..." Meng Jiu's expression was still struggling: "But that's the case, I've wronged you so much!"

Mei Shan chuckled, patted her on the shoulder and said, "How can this be a grievance? Compared with being hungry, this is not a grievance at all."

Seeing that Meng Jiu was still waiting to be stopped, he immediately said: "Don't worry, Jiu'er! It's a man's responsibility to support his family, Brother Xiaoshan still has this ability!"

After speaking, he seemed to feel something was wrong. Seeing Meng Jiuzheng looking at him inexplicably, he immediately blushed and explained: "You and I, my lord and brother Ming are a family. Now that they are not here, As an older brother, I should take good care of you."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the shoulder pole in his hand, blushed and walked out of the inn without looking back.

Meng Jiu was still obsessed with his phrase "supporting the family", and couldn't extricate herself. When she came back to her senses, Mei Shan's figure had almost disappeared at the door of the inn.

"Brother Xiaoshan, I'll make lunch at home and wait for you to come back!"

Facing the white back, Meng Jiu shouted happily.

Mei Shan, who was about to turn out of the door, stopped, turned around with a burden on her shoulders, and replied with a slight smile to Meng Jiu in the courtyard: "Okay!"

After responding, he turned around again and turned out of the courtyard gate.

The front and back of the shoulder pole are all bamboo products he has hand-woven in the past few days.If you come early, you might be able to get a good booth in the central square of Luohua City.

Adults thousands of years ago seem to have foreseen and arranged everything behind them.

The adults who were so rich back then, even if they left by themselves, they left a lot of wealth to the few of them early on.

It's just that after the great war, the few of them were disheartened by the departure of the adults, and they divided things in a hurry, so why did they care about the wealth?
Even so, Mei Shan and Meng Jiu never felt the embarrassment of life in the previous hundreds of years.In those years of following the adults, they have already been exposed to the generosity of the adults to save the world. Therefore, during the years of living alone, they uphold the usual style of the adults and take it as their duty to help the poor in Mafa Continent.

However, no matter how rich the family wealth is, it cannot withstand hundreds of years of generous donations.

More than ten years ago, Meishan even sold off his remaining family property during the sand bandit catastrophe in Oasis City, and robbed the evil leader Hu Tuo, and donated all the wealth anonymously to the affected people and businesses. This pushed Oasis City back to its original prosperity track.

He originally had a little wealth, but after that year he became completely destitute.

This time I traveled to the Marfa Continent for the treasure hunting girl, and all the money I used came from the money saved by Mei Shui after purchasing the bride price...

Seeing that there are not many hundreds of coins left, fortunately, she finally found the trace of Miss Bao in Luohua City, and met Meng Jiu unexpectedly.

Then he will not be able to leave Luohua City for the time being...

Looking at Meng Jiu's miserable situation, it is obvious that her life has not been much better than her own these years.

When the adults were there, Jiu'er was the one who loved him the most. This also made Jiu'er never taste the hardships and hardships of life, but he just focused on refining medicine and poisoning and healing people and poisoning people all day long.

I really don't know how Jiu'er, who has been away from adults, has supported herself for thousands of years...

But fortunately, Jiuer built this "Tianshan Inn".

Tianshan Inn, Tianhe Mountain... Isn't it the name of the adults and him?

Thousands of years ago, the adults often took them for a walk by the bamboo forest, away from the quietness of the hall and the downtown area, and they fell in love with this place.

I remember that Jiu'er said at that time that if they built a hut beside the bamboo forest, they could hide here with the adults.Even if it's only for a day or a moment, it's good that adults don't have to be tired and worried about dealing with important tasks, and can enjoy a peaceful and ordinary life like ordinary people without being criticized by the world.

Back then, Jiu'er just said it casually, never thought that she really built a house by the bamboo forest.

In the past few days, he learned from Jiu'er that in the early days, because she missed them so much, she spent money to find someone to enclose the land by the bamboo forest, surrounded the yard and built these wing rooms.I imagined that one day, they would all return and still live together in this small courtyard like a family.

It’s just that after a long time, most of her money was used to help others, and the other half was used by her to buy various raw materials for wine making. Finally, in the first 100 years, besides having such an inn, she also became a veritable poor person. .

After that, in order to make a living, she had to bear the pain and hang up the plaque of "Tianshan Inn" outside the courtyard gate, hoping to earn some small money to make ends meet.

But firstly, because the inn is too remote, there are few customers, coupled with her unremitting wine making, the whole inn always has a strange smell of distiller's grains, which affects the business of the inn.

And because of her age and appearance, she will leave Luohua City after a few years, and she will not come back until all the acquaintances around her die of old age.This also led to the inability of the small inn to operate and maintain normally.

Over time, she was the only one in the inn.She is the boss and so is the guest.

The plaque outside the door has long been dilapidated due to wind and rain, most of the furnishings inside the inn are not in normal use due to disrepair, and the once-familiar neighbors around have changed one crop after another.

The only thing that hasn't changed is always her.

When the two met again, and the Man of Destiny happened to appear in Luohua City again, they couldn't help but make a decision at the same time, to stay in this city they are most familiar with and miss most, and also keep their hope!
Two days ago, the two couldn't help but went to Ruyixuan again, but unfortunately not only did they never see Miss Bao, even Lu Yunchu also disappeared.When I asked about the shopkeeper of Ruyixuan, I learned that the boss took the proprietress on a "tour" and would not return until some time later.

The two had no choice but to come back and wait in peace.

But while waiting, they need to survive, and survival must have various expenses.

When Mei Shan rummaged through his body and only found 22 Mafa coins, he blushed and asked Meng Jiu if he had any money left?
Meng Jiu immediately rummaged through the box, and it took a long time to find a silver hairpin and a pair of earrings from the bottom of the box, and asked him if these counted?Looking at the dilapidated inn, he sighed and asked the question he had been wondering all along: Jiu'er, how have you supported yourself all these years?

In the end, the two had to face the most practical problem at hand: how to make ends meet?

Meng Jiu said that she could refine some medicines and sell them, or heal others.She said that over the years, when she was desperate, she would occasionally earn a small amount of money to make ends meet.

But he never agreed.

How can a big man let a weak woman support him?

When his melancholy eyes passed through the yard and stopped at the bamboo forest outside the inn, he thought of a solution in his heart.
