Chapter 47 How to live without money
The narrow and steep mountain road made walking very strenuous. Luo Xiu led his brother forward slowly. Since the accident, Luo Xiu found that his brother seemed to have grown up a lot overnight. Even if his feet were worn out on the road, he had no complaints.
Because Rhodes was young and walked slowly, he could normally get there in one day. The two of them only walked two-thirds of the distance in one day.
At night, Luo Xiu simply made a bed and prepared for his brother to rest. Beside the fire, little Rhodes held a branch and looked at the burning flames in a daze.
Seeing his brother's appearance, Luo Xiu was very worried
"What are you thinking about? Go to bed early, we have to go on the road tomorrow" Luo Xiu asked casually
"Brother! I want to avenge grandpa!! But... I don't know how to do it." Rhodes looked at him with bright eyes.
"Revenge must be avenged! But if you want to take revenge, you must first survive, and then strengthen yourself. Only when you have enough strength can you take revenge!" Luo Xiu said seriously
"Okay! Listen to me, brother!"
"Since you listened to my brother, go and have a good rest and practice hard," Luo Xiu took the opportunity to say
"Well! Good night, brother"
Luo Xiu added some firewood to the fire to make it burn brighter, thinking in his mind about how to live and practice in the future.
As soon as it dawned, the two brothers simply ate some dried meat and drank a sip of water and then started on their way. They were silent all the way. When Luo Xiu and Rhodes appeared in front of the town, it was already noon.
Because he had just been here once, Luo Xiu was quite familiar with this place. He still had a few copper coins in his hand, totaling about 700 coins in total. These were left over from the last time he entered the town, and some were used to clean up the collapse.
Found in the wooden house
Although these copper coins seem to be a lot, the food and accommodation for two people cannot last for three days at all, so Luo Xiu plans to find a job as soon as possible, preferably with a place to live, and then consider other things.
After entering the town, Luo Xiu and his brother settled in the hotel where they stayed last time. The two of them spent nearly two hundred copper coins on the hotel, which really made Luo Xiu feel distressed;
After running all the way, little Rhodes was already too tired to move, so Luo Xiu let him sleep in the house and went out alone.
After wandering around the town for a long time, Luo Xiu still couldn't find a suitable job. In fact, there were many places recruiting workers, but not many provided accommodation. What's more, Luo Xiu also had his younger brother with him, which made it even harder to find.
In the past two days, the two of them had not had a decent meal, and little Rhodes was growing up. Luo Xiu was afraid that his brother would not be able to keep up with nutrition. In addition, Rhodes was in a bad mood due to the shock.
OK; so he gritted his teeth and took out dozens of copper coins to buy a delicious meal.
Walking on the street, Luo Xiu gnawed hard and hard dry food while worrying about making money for food. Unknowingly, he had reached his residence. It had been almost three hours since he came out, and Little Rhodes was almost ready.
woke up
Carrying the food, Luo Xiu rubbed his "bitter melon face" in front of the door, then wiped a little of the soup on his mouth, lifted his mood and opened the door.
"Brother! Look, brother is back with delicious food!"
As soon as he entered the door, Luo Xiu took the food in his hand and said happily
"Wow! It smells so good. We can finally have fresh vegetables and hot meat!" Rhodes was very excited when he saw the delicious food. He immediately grabbed a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth.
"Wow! Yeah! It's delicious. Brother, you should eat it too."
"Haha, brother just went out to eat, so you just eat. Also, wash your hands first! Wash your hands before eating." Luo Xiu looked at his brother with a smile.
"Well, okay, brother, you still have vegetable juice on your mouth that you haven't wiped off."
Seeing his brother's appearance, little Rhodes didn't doubt his presence. He happily ran to wash his hands and prepare for dinner.
Seeing his brother's improved mood, Luo Xiu felt much better. He stuck out his tongue and licked the grease from his mouth. Luo Xiu collapsed on the bed. He had been too tired recently. A series of things made him physically and mentally exhausted. Unknowingly,
Luo Xiu fell asleep
Little Rhodes did not disturb his brother after he came back. When Luo Xiu woke up, it was already midnight
"Huh! Why did you fall asleep? You don't have to think about other things at this time. You should get enough sleep and go out to find a job tomorrow morning." After muttering, Luo Xiu simply lay back on the bed and went to sleep again.
…
Time always flies by. Three days have passed since entering the town. Today is the fourth day. Luo Xiu will be looking for work in the town every day these days. Occasionally, if he is lucky, he will work as a temporary worker to earn money.
He made some copper coins to supplement his life, but even so, he and Little Rhodes were now at the end of their rope!
The main reason why they spent so quickly was because they had no place to live. Even if the two of them lived in the cheapest hotel, they couldn't afford to stay for a long time, but Luo Xiu and the two couldn't live on the street.
Luo Xiu has thought about leaving here. Now that he has neither strength nor money, he wants to leave? This can only be a joke. It would be best if he doesn't starve to death halfway. He is really poor and can't move even an inch!
"Haha...hehehe! How ridiculous! I still want to take revenge!? Still want to practice fighting spirit!? Originally I thought I had escaped from childishness, but now I realize how childish I am! I take everything for granted!! Whether it's the past life or the
In this life, reality is always so cruel! So fair!!"
Luo Xiu leaned weakly against the tall stone wall, looking at the strong sunshine and laughing at himself. The anxiety of the day made Luo Xiu's lips chapped, and his body lacking nutrition also lost a lot of weight, making him look listless.
Because there is not enough food and nutrition, Luo Xiu has stopped practicing Qi Condensation a long time ago. Because Qi Condensation is a highly energy-consuming activity, the little food he eats now is not enough for normal consumption. How can there be any left for him to practice?
!
Just when Luo Xiu was secretly feeling sad, the door not far away "squeaked!" was pushed open. This mansion was the residence of the guard, and the stone wall Luo Xiu was leaning on was the wall of the mansion;
The town's guardian is a minor nobleman from the Holy Dragon Empire. It is said that he made a meritorious service by chance with his junior swordsman's strength, so he was rewarded by the empire and made a baron of a remote town.
Although compared with other nobles, the Lord Guard is very poor, with no wealthy fiefdom, no decent private property, and even only three guards, but as a baron, he already has the best life in the town.
He is also the strongest person in the town
Dang! Dang! Dang!...
There was a series of crisp metal banging sounds, and a man dressed as a servant stood outside the door and put down the copper hammer in his hand. "Attention, the guard is recruiting long-term workers to provide food and housing! Wages are provided according to the workload. If you are interested, sign up quickly."
Luo Xiu, who didn't care at first, suddenly became alert. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"This steward, I want to sign up!" Luo Xiu said quickly
When Luo Xiu was signing up, a lot of people came in one after another. These people were usually homeless, otherwise there would be no one doing such a low-paying job, and this job was officially mainly based on recruiting cheap people.
Mainly homeless people, because what they care most about is food and housing, not salary. This is very similar to Luo Xiu now.
"Master Butler, I have a younger brother, can you let me take him with me?" Luo Xiu was a little worried. For this reason, many employers did not agree.
"Brother? How old are you?"
"Eleven years old." Seeing the steward's hesitation, Luo Xiu added
"But he can help with some simple tasks. No salary is required, as long as he stays with me."
"Oh? That's it. Well, that's good! You and he will come tomorrow." After weighing the pros and cons, the manager quickly made a decision.
After receiving a positive answer, Luo Xiu was in high spirits! He felt that his body felt a lot more relaxed. He happily rushed back to the hotel and told his younger brother about the incident. Then Luo Xiu took out the spare money and the two brothers had a good meal.
A full meal
…
After accepting the employment of guarding the mansion, Luo Xiu and his younger brother went to work in a row of houses next to the mansion. Usually a group of people would eat together in a big pot and live in a big house.
It is said to be work, but in fact, most of the time it is physical work involving transportation, loading and unloading, and the workload is very heavy. However, eating can make you full. Maybe the baron also knows that if the workers are not fed, they will not have the energy to work.
Because Rhodes was younger, Luo Xiu told him to do some moderate work and just focus on perfecting Qi Condensation cultivation. Rhodes was also very smart and knew what his brother meant, so he cooperated with him.
It should be said that Luo Xiu was very motivated during this period. He couldn't practice before because he didn't have enough to eat, but now he no longer has such worries, so he is very fulfilled every day, and doing these physical jobs is also a kind of physical work for Luo Xiu.
A way to exercise physical strength, so Luo Xiu can get a lot more salary than others every day;
After careful calculation, considering that Qi Condensation cultivation requires a lot of energy, Luo Xiu eats a lot of food every day, plus salary income, so the Baron not only does not make money from Luo Xiu, but also pays back! Of course,
Mixed in a group of homeless people, no one would notice how much Luo Xiu eats every meal
On this day, Luo Xiu was about to enter the yard after finishing his work, when he happened to see his younger brother Rhodes
"Brother! I just finished work over there. Let's go have dinner together." Luo Xiu greeted his brother.
"Ah? Oh, no, I...I'm not hungry yet."
Seeing his evasive younger brother, Luo Xiu was suspicious. He ignored his younger brother's avoidance and pulled him over. Just when he was about to ask what was going on, he saw an eye-catching palm print on his younger brother's face.
"Tell brother, who beat you!?" Luo Xiu's face was livid.
