Qing Yuben half-closed her eyes and felt drowsy. After listening to this, she opened her eyes abruptly. Her gaze wandered between Zou Yi's five sense organs for a while, then she suddenly laughed softly: "Don't worry."

Zou Yi frowned and said with great pain: "This is the money I have saved so many years of frugality. I never thought that once the big waves hit, everything would be lost."

Qing Yu flexed her fingers and scratched the bridge of his nose with her knuckles: "That's why I'm drunk today when I'm drunk, I was quite bold when I saw you before, why, now that you've recovered, you feel sorry for money?"

Zou Yi rolled his eyes at him: "I don't love money, but you."

"Oh?"

"I feel sorry for you, you just followed me. Before you had time to wear gold and silver, eat delicious food and drink hot food, and live a few days of fairy life, you were immediately thrown into the mortal world to suffer."

Qing Yu put on a show and sighed: "Marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, what can I do?"

Zou Yi saw that this person was so slapped on his face, he grinded his teeth on the spot, and was about to roll up his sleeves to beat him up, but Qing Yu immediately accepted him, and changed the subject: "Stay begging for nothing at someone's house." It’s not a long-term solution, tomorrow we’ll go to the city to see what’s going on, so we can save money and go to sea.”

Zou Yi remembered that they had abandoned the big boat and had to buy another one. The big boat cost an unknown amount of silver. Thinking about it hurts like cutting flesh, so she sighed and said, "Yes, I'll go to the pharmacy to see if there are any job seekers. , if you want, I will be able to choose."

Qing Yu clicked his tongue twice: "Manqian, Manqian, your name is 'full of harm, modest benefit', and your name is also imitation of 'challenge', both are modest words, why are you so thick-skinned? "

Zou Yi said indifferently: "Probably my father used my humility in the name. If the names are used up, there will be no natural person." She patted him on the shoulder, "Sleep, sleep, get up early You have to feed the chickens."

Indistinct cries came from the main room. It sounded clear and crisp, and it should be Yingniang who just came back from playing. Somehow, her sister seemed to be coaxing her.

Qing Yu covered Zou Yi with the quilt, got out of bed to blow out the oil lamp, got on the bed lightly, hugged Zou Yi like an octopus, put her head on Zou Yi's shoulder, and fell asleep .

Zou Yi said so, they got up early and still didn't feed the chickens.

Lan Niang worked hard, getting up when it was still dark, sweeping the floor, feeding the chickens, lighting a fire and cooking.She just graduated from a private school not long ago. Her parents thought that she could find a decent job, but Lanniang was not sociable and her grades were not top-notch. Although it was dangerous, she earned a lot of money, so her parents let her go.

She prepared breakfast for the whole family, and when she was about to go out, she saw Dongshan who got up to pee.

Dongshan greeted her, Lanniang returned the salute dryly, and the two of them looked at each other not knowing what to say, Dongshan saw that her eyes were dark and black, so he said: "Miss Lan should go to bed earlier, don't work too hard. "

Lan Niang nodded: "Thank you, master. The porridge is in the kitchen, warming up, and there are pickles and salted duck eggs in the cabinet on the left."

Dongshan thanked her, and saw Lan Niang going out, a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, just at the age when the flowers will be relaxed, the average girl has a childishness that has not faded, but he looked at her back , but like a flower forced to bloom early.

When Zou Yi and Qing Yu got up, Lan Niang and her parents also got up, sat and drank porridge, the two saluted and ate breakfast, and were about to help chop firewood, but found that Dong Shan had done the job, and the two went around Seeing that there was nothing to do, he decided to go to the city.

The fishing village is not far from the city, but if you want to talk about it in detail, it takes an hour and a half to get there on two legs.

The three of them were too shy to ask for money to build a bullock cart, so they had no choice but to walk.

It was just after noon when they arrived in the city, and they took bread and dried fish before leaving, and ate them between them before entering the city.The bread was as hard as a brick, and the dried fish was even harder. There was not much meat at all, and the meat quickly shrank as soon as it was dried. Qingyu held one end in his mouth, and grabbed the other end, pulling off a piece with a ferocious face. , Hastily chewed and swallowed it into the stomach.

As for why you don't go to the city to eat again, Dongshan asked, and Qingyu told him: "Stupid! There are so many delicious foods in the city, if you see them, you can still eat this bread and dried fish? It's just a hatchback Depressed and hungry!"

Facts have proved that Qing Yu is right.

The smell of all kinds of snacks in the city and the yelling of all kinds of people are endless, so that these people who don't have a penny in their wallets can't wait to grab the land with their heads, so that they can love the food.

The three of them could barely hold out until their stomachs were full, so they went door to door to see if they were recruiting workers.

Relying on her physique, Qing Yu got a job as a tracker, but Zou Yi pushed her away in a blink of an eye.

Qing Yu was a little angry: "What are you doing?"

Zou Yi glanced at him lightly, but didn't speak.

That glance miraculously soothed his restless heart.

Afterwards, he and Dongshan found another job as a porter. Although Zou Yi frowned, she didn't say anything this time.

Seeing this, Qing Yu comforted him and said: "It's just moving the goods, I have too much strength to use it, this job is very easy for me, not to mention the wages are settled daily, I can leave whenever I want, and I am not afraid of defaulting .”

Zou Yi reluctantly nodded.

Later, the three saw that there was a pharmacy recruiting part-time workers, and Zou Yi was selected without any accident, but the salary was limited.But I also thought that he was a newcomer, so this is not bad, and the salary will naturally increase as time goes on.

They searched for a job all afternoon, and they didn't stop until dusk.

Zou Yiben proposed to go back to the village right away, but Qing Yu had sharp eyes. Seeing that the hall of an inn was full of people, it turned out that someone was here to tell a story, so he hurriedly dragged the two of them to find a chair and sat down. There was free tea and melon seeds on the table.

Several people soaked the noodles in tea until they were soft, and drank them. Qing Yu lowered her voice and said to Zou Yi: "Look, this is a business trick. The free tea and melon seeds are not worth a lot, but it makes people think The boss is generous, and the storytelling is good, and people are happy to hear it, so they are willing to spend money to buy some other snacks."

Looking at the hall, two-thirds of the tables had additional snacks and side dishes.

Zou Yi glanced at him: "Seeing that you are very active, it would be a pity if you don't do business."

But Qing Yu suddenly blushed for no reason, and said that she was dedicated to the Buddha, and then lowered her head to peel melon seeds like a little daughter-in-law. Greedy, he stretched out his hand to catch it, but Qing Yu slapped his meaty hand heavily, and he pushed towards Zou Yi only after the small plate of melon seeds and meat had piled up into a small tower.

Zou Yi glanced at him flattered, and saw that the melon seeds on the plate were all broken into two or three pieces, and there were still a lot of melon seed shells stuck, so she couldn't help laughing.

"You eat too, I eat so much by myself, I'm going to get angry."

Only then did Qing Yu grab the melon seeds and stuff them into his mouth, Dongshan's small eyes lingered between the pair of dogs and men for a while, and suddenly stretched out his hands, Qing Yu was about to hit him when he saw this, he quickly retracted, Caressing the back of his fleshy hand, his eyes were aggrieved.

Seeing this, Zou Yi smiled and put a handful into Dongshan's palm: "Eat."

Dongshan hurriedly thanked Dr. Zou, then rolled his eyes at his senior brother.

Qing Yu almost jumped up: "Little bastard, I peeled these melon seeds. You don't thank me, but you still dare to roll your eyes at me. Where did you get the courage?!"

Dongshan shrank his neck, as if he was hiding behind Dr. Zou and could not come out, Qingyu gritted his teeth bitterly but there was nothing he could do, suddenly Dongshan said: "Hey, isn't this Miss Lan?"

When the two looked up, they saw her coming down the stairs with a pale complexion, walking lightly and quickly, Dongshan wanted to reach out to greet her, but Qingyu stopped her when she saw that her expression was not right.

The days are long and the nights are short in this summer. It is estimated that the sky will be bright at three o'clock in Xushi. The three of them have just had dinner, and they have a heavy pancake in their stomachs. Tea, listen to storytelling.

This book reviewer is a white-bearded man, the gavel in his hand is shiny due to the accumulated caressing, he is patting the gavel while stroking his beard, moving his lips up and down, obviously very sophisticated.

The three of them listened with relish for a while, and felt that it was almost time to get up and leave when they suddenly heard a scream from upstairs!

The voice was so sharp that many people heard it, even the storyteller stopped, the waiter apologized and ran upstairs nimbly, but he crawled down in half a stick of incense.

His face was pale, and he stammered. He didn't straighten his tongue until he was scolded by the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, someone... died! He was stabbed to death!"

Everyone was surprised.

The shopkeeper went upstairs with his legs up, and at the same time called for someone to call the government. The audience in the inn gathered together and chatted. They: "Shall we... go?"

In front of Qing Yu was Lan Niang's face pale and hurried downstairs. He frowned and was about to speak when he suddenly raised his eyelids and smiled: "You don't have to go, you can't go if you want to."

The government is here.

When the government came, naturally no one could escape, the inn was surrounded, the corpses were transported back to the Yamen, and the audience in the inn were called to make statements one after another.

There were a lot of people here, and the confession was just a formality, but no matter how formal it was, it couldn't stand the crowd. By the time it was Zou Yi's turn, the sky was already gray and blue.

The person who interrogated them was a fat middle-aged man with very light eyebrows and sparse hair on the top of his head. Only the fat on his belly grew luxuriantly. There was a man and a woman next to him, both young children, who were obviously thugs taking notes. of.

As usual, he asked the three of them for their names and identity documents, and suddenly squinted his eyes when he heard that they had no documents.

Zou Yi sighed and said: "Don't dare to lie to my lord, it's not intentional, but I wonder if my lord still remembers the sea breeze the night before? The boat of the three of us got flooded, and we escaped with a small boat, and we didn't have time to bring money, papers or certificates. "

The man nodded: "I know, but it's been two days, why haven't you come to apply for a temporary residence permit?"

"Temporary residence permit?"

"You don't know?"

"We were fortunate to be taken in by people from a fishing village in the countryside. Today is the first time we have entered the city. If there is anything we don't know, I hope you will explain it to me."

The hulking adult smacked his lips, showing a bit of impatience, and the little boy who was scribbling next to him immediately came over and explained: "This temporary residence permit is for people who don't have a document. Yes, if not, it would have added a lot of trouble for nothing."

The interrogator knocked on the table with his fingers: "Okay, okay, come back, what were the three of you doing half an hour ago?"

"Listen to a book in the hall."

"Is there any evidence?"

"The waiter once came to refill the water."

Hearing this, the big fan-like hand waved, and asked someone to call the waiter, who testified and let them go.

The chubby adult suddenly remembered something before they left, and said to the girl who was recording beside him: "Xiao Yu, take them to apply for a temporary residence permit."

The girl named Xiaoyu looked at her age of fourteen or fifteen, and she was very beautiful, especially with a pair of deer-like eyes, which were very agile. After hearing this, she nodded, made a gesture of invitation, and opened the door first.

They chose a wing room of the inn as a temporary interrogation room. They didn't feel much in the room, but when they went out, they found that it was crowded with people and it was really lively.

Zou Yi asked Xiao Yu: "Do you have to ask for a document or a temporary residence permit when recruiting?"

Xiao Yu said: "Yes, the rules are set like this. If there is no one, maybe someone will ask for it, but it's not a decent place, and the wages must be kept very low."

Zou Yi thought of how happily they laughed when he went to the pharmacy as a part-time job, and the extremely limited salary, so it turned out to be the case.

While talking, he went downstairs and was about to go out, but he saw two yamen servants coming in with a young girl. The girl's face was gray and her chin was pointed, and her eyes shrank from fear. They were stunned when they saw Zou Yi—— It's Lan Niang!

Seeing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help being stunned, and hurriedly asked the yamen servant: "What's going on?"

The yamen servant hurriedly replied: "Back to Miss Jiang, according to witnesses, this girl stayed alone in the room with the deceased before."
