"Gu Li, we have finished eating. Tomorrow you go out with me to beg for food. Then you will act based on my eyes, you know?" Mo Chi told Gu Li his name, but did not see Gu Li for a moment. With his eyes wide open, he continued to talk while nibbling on the steamed bun in his hand, "It's your first time here, and I have to teach you the techniques to survive here."
At this time, Gu Li didn't seem to hear what she said. What did the girl say? She said her name was Mo Chi, and she also said she was a doctor. Gu Li had the urge to ask her if she knew him. A poison master named Bai Zhi, but she held back. No matter it was true or not, once she said it, her identity from the outside world might be exposed, and she didn't want to gamble.
"Begging for food? Why?" Gu Li asked curiously.
"Go to the town with me tomorrow, and you will soon know what I mean." Mo Chi said firmly.
Gu Li has just come to this world, so she needs to be more cautious. Regardless of whether Mo Chi's brain is normal or not, she needs to settle here first and become familiar with the situation in this country of clouds. Once she has figured it out, if she wants to leave, she will This girl can't stop her.
Gu Li was thinking that maybe what Mo Chi was going to do was different from what she thought begging for food. However, when it was still dark the next day, Mo Chi put on an extremely shabby jacket for her. After wearing coarse clothes and stuffing a broken bowl into her, she could only follow Mo Chi towards the town in despair.
Fortunately, because there was so much mud smeared on her face, her true face could no longer be seen clearly. Otherwise, if I had traveled through time and space to come here, I shouldn't have inherited a group of dead soldiers who were loyal to me, and then worked hard Practice, save your mother, eradicate the evil forces, and then go away, hide your merit and fame, and create a legendary horse?
Why do you come here to beg for food? This style of painting is wrong!
If Xiaomeng knew that his sister was dressing up as a beggar in another place, would Xiaomeng laugh to death? Such a cute little brother, after all, still has a bit of the baggage of his sister’s idol!
When the time came for him to return, when his brother, Xiaomeng, Gu's father and Gu's mother were having dinner together, Xiaomeng asked her sister what were you doing in the outside world, and she said that she was going to beg for food. Is that right?
Mo Chi didn't seem to realize Gu Li's embarrassment. He also walked ahead with a broken bowl and said cheerfully: "I'm telling you, I don't dare to say anything else. My medical skills are nothing compared to those in this town." Among the beggars, I dare to say that I am the first, and no one dares to say that I am the second. The territory where I beg for food is the most extensive and the largest among all the beggars. In the entire Luoxue Town, no beggar dares to compete with me for the territory. Who? If you dare to rob me, the next time he is sick and about to die, I won’t treat him, and I won’t treat him even if he kills me. Of course, even if they have a hundred guts, they won’t dare to take action against me.”
Mo Chi walked in front, and Gu Li followed silently behind. She raised her head and glanced at Mo Chi in front of her. Gu Li did see a lot of scars in the areas covered by patched clothes that had been patched countless times. There were even deep scars scratched by sharp objects on it, scars that Mo Chi's medical skills couldn't remove. She must have been seriously injured at the time.
Although this scar looks old, it is obviously an injury she suffered when she first came here. At that time, no one knew that she could treat diseases...
She has Bai Zhi as a backer in the outside world, and her life must be much better than now. Why should she come here to endure hardships?
Mo Chi talked for a long time without seeing Gu Li talking to him. He turned back and glanced at the silent Gu Li: "You don't believe it?"
"Believe it, I didn't say I didn't believe it, aren't you listening?"
"You know what's going on!"
"I believe you were beaten to death." Gu Li looked at Mo Chi seriously and said.
Mo Chi choked. How could this little girl be so good at choking despite her age? Just open your mouth and chat to death!
As expected, Mo Chi was silent a lot during the rest of the journey, but Gu Li kept looking around. The closer he got to the Luoxue Town mentioned by Mo Chi, the surrounding houses became more and more luxurious. The original mud-walled houses were gone and replaced with There are all big houses with blue bricks and red tiles. Beyond that, there are two-story carved beams and painted buildings, and the high-rise buildings in Feijiao become even more luxurious. The clothes on Gu Li's body are more like those of the lower class of society. .
Just when they were about to enter the town, a group of similarly unkempt people came in the same direction as Mo Chi. Those people were not in a group of two like Gu Li, but more than a dozen people. One group walked quickly past the two. , although the clothes they were wearing were very old and torn, their bodies underneath the clothes were strong and strong, but their arms were tied with a black strip of cloth, which looked like some kind of gang or organization.
Not long after, more than a dozen people walked past the two of them. Gu Li squinted at these people. They all held a broken bowl in their hands, and some of them held a wooden stick in their hands. She and Mo Chi The two of them went out before dawn. At this time, there was only a faint light in the morning, and the people who could come here seemed to be beggars.
Gu Li turned her head and looked at Mo Chi: "Are these people also beggars?"
Mo Chi nodded: "Yes, they are here to beg for food just like us. They come here early to occupy a territory. We are different from them. We have a fixed territory. We don't have to fight for it like they do." "
Just as he was talking, a few people started fighting in front of them. It looked like they were fighting for territory. Mo Chi said proudly: "Look, we don't have to be like them. They are going to blow their brains out. Come with me." .”
"But, they seem to eat better than you, right? They are so strong, look how skinny you are." Gu Li said.
Mo Chi was choked by her for a long time before he said: "They come to beg every day, and I have to allocate some time to collect medicines. Sometimes I have to treat these guys for free, otherwise I won't be able to cure them... ..." At this point, Mo Chi stopped talking. If she couldn't cure her illness, how could these beggars sell her face?
Gu Li suddenly realized that he almost forgot about this. Mo Chi went to the mountain to collect medicine to treat these people's diseases. How could these beggars have the money to buy medicine? Mo Chi treated them and gave medicine for free. This is how he got what he is now territory.
"Moreover, they are organized. There are two larger beggar gangs in the local area. They sometimes force others to give alms to them, so they naturally eat better." Mo Chi continued.
With that said, Mo Chi took Gu Li to a bridge. It was indeed a good location. Not only were people coming and going, but it was also a place where you could bask in the sun. You know, the weather here is similar to the outside world. , it is still very cold at this time, and it is much more comfortable to be exposed to the sun.
This is the first time Gu Li has been a beggar in his past life. Mo Chi glanced at Gu Li, who was sitting cross-legged and upright, and said with some contempt: "No wonder you are not welcomed by your mistress. Looking at you like this, you are usually quite arrogant, right? With your personality, how did you end up becoming someone’s concubine?”
Gu Li glanced at Mo Chi, who was lying comfortably on the ground, and then looked at herself. It seemed that the shelf was indeed a bit too big. She imitated Mo Chi, put the broken bowl in front of her, and then found a comfortable place. Lying down, he looked weak.
"Hey, this is much better! People like you who have never suffered hardship don't know that in this world, sometimes life is more important than dignity. I have also seen people who are unwilling to beg even if they die. , isn't that also starving to death? If you die, you will have nothing and can't do anything." Mo Chi praised Gu Li's behavior.
Gu Li glanced at Mo Chi, and she probably guessed that Mo Chi must be living so hard now for something, but for what purpose, she didn't know yet. And Mo Chi would definitely not tell her about someone of unknown origin who he had just met for a day.
As the two of them chatted together, Gu Li also gained some understanding of this Yunwaijing. As she had thought before, this Yunwaijing indeed belonged to the Kingdom of Clouds. However, the people here Most of the people are homeless children with little ability, that is, people without official Cloud Kingdom ID cards.
Some of them are the remnants of some down-and-out big families in the Kingdom of Clouds, some are criminals who were exiled here, and some are slaves, servants, or concubines who escaped from the master's house.
In short, Yunwaijie is a lawless place, where no rules are rules.
Gu Li suddenly remembered that he had read a novel in his previous life, and there was a Valley of Evil in the novel called "The Two Prides". It was very similar to the situation in Yunwai Realm. This should also be the place where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
"Are there any practitioners here?" Gu Li suddenly asked Mo Chi.
Mo Chi was stunned for a moment, as if he did not expect that Gu Li would ask her about cultivation. She pondered for a moment, with a look of seriousness on her face: "Practitioners are very rare in the Kingdom of Clouds, let alone outside the Clouds. Of course, there are also practitioners who have committed crimes or are being hunted by enemies who come here, but they dare not reveal it. The only function of their practice is to better hide themselves."
"However, there are indeed various levels of people here, and there are also nobles here. Those nobles who originally lived in the Kingdom of Clouds were exiled to the outside world of the Clouds, and they are still nobles. Once they come here, they will Find a good horse and run along the surrounding fields until the horse dies from exhaustion. The place they run through is their field. No matter who the original owner of the field is, the owner of the field will become a refugee without a field. If If they want, they can continue farming, but they need to pay rent to these noble gentlemen."
"If they don't want to, they will completely become refugees, and refugees will gradually become beggars." When Mo Chi said this, his eyes did not waver, as if he was used to seeing this dirty world.
While Gu Li was wandering in her mind, a pair of slender fingers suddenly placed a small ingot of silver into the broken bowl in front of her. It should have been ten or ten taels of silver, which in modern times is equivalent to one hundred thousand yuan when converted into RMB.
