The streets and alleys are crowded, and every family has a small wine flag.
Pedestrians in the city looked cold and wary, with a sense of desolation. They were not as harmonious as before. Now it seemed that everyone was wary of strangers. The only thing that remained unchanged was the restaurants and brothels. The more chaotic the business, the more prosperous the business.
To make money, you need to pay attention to skills and seize the fleeting business opportunities. The strange combination does not have advanced business skills. Only a certain snake has the experience of setting up a street stall to make money, and sold many paper umbrellas through half force and half trickery.
Outside the wall of a wealthy family on the street corner, a strange combination was doing business.
"Ancestor's Demon-Conquering Master ~ Selling Umbrellas ~"
Master Huixian and his apprentice squatted in front of the stall and yelled hard. The cobra raised its neck and held the sign in its mouth without moving. People on the street looked sideways.
Bai Yu hung up a sign next to him and fell asleep, holding a large lump of salt in his arms.
There are really not many people who openly display the sign of an assassin. How can they write about ten taels of silver to buy a life, a hundred taels of silver to slaughter a butcher without leaving any chickens and dogs, a thousand taels of silver to burn a house to the ground and deep pits, a thousand taels of silver to destroy a country and change the dynasty, as long as Once the money is in place, my skull will be smashed.
"Selling umbrellas...conquering demons..."
Little Shitou was so sleepy that he finally fell asleep leaning against the bamboo basket. The sunshine was warm and comfortable.
Huixian was sitting selling umbrellas, but he couldn't bear to shout, and he didn't even accept the devil-killing deal. If nothing unexpected happened, he might starve to death in this warm season.
Bai Yu, who was taking a nap, opened his eyes, lifted his bamboo hat, took out his brush and licked it twice to moisten the tip.
He raised his hand and wrote a few more big characters.
Work part-time to catch wanted criminals and never miss a beat.
Old Huixian shook his head.
"Donor Bai, don't be impatient to make money."
Bai Yu pouted.
"Aren't you impatient? If you don't be impatient, your Zhuquan Temple will become a ruin. Maybe the young masters and ladies from the county town will go on an outing to inscribe on the ruins of the Zhuquan Temple, and build a separate courtyard to hide the beauty."
"It makes sense, we'd better make money as soon as possible."
However, it is difficult to do business, the world is chaotic and it is difficult to do business. There are rumors that there are rebellions and refugees in the North, and prices are soaring. The people now do not buy any sundries except food. Even so, it is still a bit unbearable.
A certain snake picked up a salt block and licked it, making a rustling sound with its little tongue...
The situation is so turbulent that it barely tastes like licking salt. There are more and more people carrying soldiers and armor on the streets. The government has also begun to recruit young men and women from every town and village. The so-called recruitment means just leaving with a set of ropes. It seems that we need to think about changing it. Once the business is done, selling umbrellas will most likely starve to death. You have to eat a lot of meat and a lot of elixirs. The nutrients needed for the evolution of your bones and limbs are like a bottomless pit.
The streets suddenly became noisy.
A group of more than ten people were riding horses galloping through the downtown area. The leader was a young man. He looked very cool in bright clothes and angry horses. If the expression on his face wasn't so lewd, he might be a suave and good-tempered young man.
Bai Yu knew that his appearance was amazing, so he pressed the hat without leaving any trace.
More than a dozen riders roared past, knocking over stalls and causing pedestrians to fall to the ground. Several civilians who were unable to escape were even whipped. They were beaten bloody and dared not speak. They dared not express their anger.
Not far away on the roadside, a dirty little girl gritted her teeth and stared at the county prince who was galloping past. Her eyes were bloodshot and red, as if she had sworn hatred.
The dirty little hands were holding something tightly...
A beggar next to Lao Huixian's stall spit fiercely at the group of people, and his broken bowl was kicked to pieces just now.
Bai Yu raised his knife and pointed it at the beggar.
"Who is that? Yes, it's you. Come here."
The beggar immediately crawled over and ran over, not daring to raise his head. He was very obedient. He was not allowed to disobey. A few days ago, someone came to collect protection money and this girl in black had all his legs broken. I am afraid he will be ruined in this life. Who is so cruel? Not afraid.
"Auntie~What are your orders~"
"Who is that idiot? He's more arrogant than me. It's too much. Am I not the most arrogant person in this city?"
"That one, he is the son of the county magistrate. It is said that he has just returned from going to the Immortal Mountain to learn immortal magic these years. Even though you are a bit ruthless, you are only helping us poor people. The folks know it very well, but that bastard is simply When the Living King of Hell is alive, he has killed countless unmarried girls. Rumor has it that his uncle's family is a high-ranking official in the state and city, with a very powerful background."
Waving his hand, the beggar quickly returned to his den, took out another broken bowl from the hole in the wall behind him and continued to beg for food.
Bai Yu found it interesting.
"These days, monks in the Qi Refining Stage can show off their power and show off all kinds of things."
Xiao Shitou bent down and looked at the money bag, but there was no income.
"Sister Bai, we are going to starve."
"No, this business is not easy to do. Let's find another business. If it doesn't work, we can become a bandit and road hog."
"Donor Bai, you are impatient again."
Bai Yu doesn't care about this matter. It doesn't make any difference whether he is in a hurry or not. It is said that the Beidi Prefecture and County's counter-rebellion army is in short supply of food and grass, and the morale of the army is unstable due to insufficient food and grass. All parts of the south are raising food and grass in accordance with the imperial court's orders. Of course, no matter how much food and grass is handed over to the imperial court, it will not be enough. People understand that it is true to take advantage of the opportunity to accumulate wealth and store food and grass.
If it really doesn't work, you have to make money by being a robber on the road, or make money by acting as a bodyguard for others.
Being a bodyguard is not bad. In the chaotic years, when everyone is in danger, they must spend money to hire bodyguards. If they are given a lot of money, they will become bodyguards. If they are given a little money, they will directly rob the donor. Well, that's it.
"Close the stall, let's change our business."
Bai Yu's words made Lao Huixian confused.
"Change career?"
"Well, I'll change my career to become a bodyguard. It doesn't matter whether I'm a pledge or a guarantor. With the level of our team, we will definitely make a lot of money. We can also kill evil demons along the way. That's it."
Huixian shook his head. He also knew that this business could not continue, so he simply closed the stall.
At this moment, a little girl stood in front of Bai Yu's killer sign. She was about seven or eight years old and looked like a little beggar. Her dirty little face kept staring at Bai Yu who was wearing black clothes.
After a while, the girl spoke.
"Are you... a killer? The kind who kills people for money... Others say you are a killer."
Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, but still nodded professionally and smiled.
"Yes, I can kill anyone for money."
The girl stretched out her dirty little hands, and Bai Yu also habitually stretched out his fair palms under the little hands. It was obvious that the girl wanted to give something, and her expression was serious, not joking.
He opened his little hand, and a polished copper coin fell into Bai Yu's hand.
"Help me kill someone. The bad guy from the magistrate's family just rode over! He bullied my sister! My sister won't let me go to the city to take revenge, but I just want to kill him. Will you kill him?"
The girl's red face stared closely into Bai Yu's eyes, her eyes stubborn.
Suddenly, a pretty girl aged sixteen or seventeen ran up the street, hugged the little girl and cried.
"Lian'er... why did you sneak into the city... I've been looking for you for several days..."
"Sister, I'm fine, I just found the killer to kill the bad guy!"
The girl raised her hand to wipe her sister's tears, and then continued to look at Bai Yu with stubborn eyes. Huixian sighed and clasped his hands together to chant sutras. Xiao Shitou looked at the girl and then at the white tiger.
The copper coin in the outstretched palm was very hot. It was unknown how long the girl had been covering it. This was her only hope.
He held the copper coin in his slender palm and took it back.
"When you accept the money, you sign a contract. It cannot be changed. Someone must die. You guys wait for me here."
Bai Yu who was sitting on the small bench suddenly disappeared...
