Yun Xi and Li Zixiao naturally have no acquaintances in Guzhou City. It is easy to survive in this city for seven days, but the assessment will obviously not be that easy.
She and Li Zixiao walked aimlessly in the city, saying: "First, we must find a place to eat and live, and secondly, we must find a suitable job."
She glanced: "Hey! Xiao Xiaoxiao, do you have any special skills?"
Li Zixiao thought for a while and realized that he seemed to be useless except for being able to fight, and then glared at Yun Xi fiercely.
Yun Xi knew what she meant, so she stopped asking. She touched her chin and thought.
"As for me, I should be able to find a suitable job by relying on my cooking skills..." She clenched her fists and said angrily, "Ha! I didn't expect that even though I practiced so hard, I still couldn't avoid the fate of being a cook in the end."
Li Zixiao didn't say anything. She didn't even have the skills to be a cook. If it was about eating, she should be pretty good at it.
Yun Xi curled her lips helplessly: "Anyway, let's first find out if there are any shops that are short of people."
Li Zixiao glanced sideways at her, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Yun Xi can be said to be the most talented among her peers in Tianling Continent today. She has been the daughter of the Yun family in Yunyang City since she was a child. Now her status is even more noble. But why does she have to do ordinary people's work despite her temporary loss of spiritual power?
Is there any taboo about this kind of thing?
It even looks so natural.
She thought for a while and felt that this might be related to Yun Xi's obsession.
In short, no matter what the reason was, after seeing Yun Xi being so calm, Li Zixiao felt a lot more relaxed and let go of the burden of being a spirit person.
The two walked and arrived at the lively market half an hour later.
"Give me, give me! Thank you!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, right in front, no matter what, I have to grab a good spot today!"
The voices of pedestrians came from the side, and it seemed that there was something worthy of everyone's attention ahead.
Yun Xi turned around: "Go over and take a look?"
"Hmm."
There were many people in the market, so the two of them held hands and followed. They followed the crowd to the center of the market. They saw a temporary stage built by people. On the stage, there were dancers wearing gorgeous costumes dancing, and the dance was moving.
"It turned out to be just to see this."
Yun Xi has no interest in this kind of dance. Of course, if the dancers were Li Zixiao and the others, she might be willing to take a look.
"There's nothing to see, let's go."
After just a few glances, Yun Xi was ready to leave.
However, Li Zixiao did not move.
"Huh?"
Yun Xi looked puzzled, then noticed that Li Zixiao's gaze was slanting somewhere. She looked along and realized that someone was stealing.
This stage is built outdoors and does not charge admission. Therefore, even if it is cold, there are many people watching. There are dozens of rows in front of the stage, inside and outside. In such a crowded situation, it is natural that some people will have evil thoughts and fish in troubled waters. p>
The person who was stolen was a girl who was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was standing on tiptoes, looking up at the show on the stage. This was not a coquettish and seductive dance, so even if she was a woman, there were many people coming to watch. The girl watched the program attentively, unaware that a hand quietly got into her pocket and took away the contents.
Yun Xi looked at Li Zixiao, wanting to see what she would do.
Now that they have no spiritual power, although their physiques are not weak, if they encounter a spiritual cultivator, even if they are just warriors, they may not be able to defeat them.
A spiritual cultivator is strong because he has spiritual power, but the gap between those with spiritual power and those without spiritual power is still huge.
The thief successfully stole the girl's money. He looked down and found that there was not only a spirit element but also a house deed, and he suddenly burst into laughter.
But just as he was about to leave, Li Zixiao suddenly walked over from the crowd.
She grabbed the thief's wrist and said coldly: "Give it back to her!"
The cold voice immediately attracted the attention of the people around him, and the onlookers all around looked over.
The girl also turned around. When she saw the house deed and money bag in the thief's hand, she immediately reached out and touched her pocket, and then exclaimed: "It's... it's my thing!"
When the man was discovered, he was not afraid. Instead, he looked at Li Zixiao angrily: "You are nosy!"
He cursed harshly, and a dagger suddenly appeared in his other hand. The silver light flashed quickly, and he stabbed Li Zixiao with the knife.
Whoa!
The dagger grazed Li Zixiao's shoulder, and she hit the man on the wrist with the knife. The man immediately felt pain, and when he opened his hand, the dagger fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Li Zixiao kicked the man in the knee without hesitation.
"Uh-huh!"
The man cried out in pain and fell to his knees.
Li Zixiao grabbed his hand and twisted it gently, and immediately snatched those things back.
Even if a spiritual person has no spiritual power, his physical skills are still beyond the reach of ordinary people, not to mention that Li Zixiao has always practiced external skills.
There was a lot of commotion here. Seeing Li Zixiao calmly subduing the thief, the onlookers all cheered and praised loudly.
Li Zixiao handed the things he took back to the girl.
"Thank...thank you!"
The girl quickly put the things into her pockets and hugged them tightly.
After Li Zixiao did this, he noticed that he seemed to have made too much noise and was about to leave.
But at this moment, another man suddenly rushed out of the crowd. He held a knife in both hands and stabbed Li Zixiao in the back.
Bang!
Before the knife was in place, a small, white fist fell on his face, knocking him staggering and causing his nose to bleed.
Yun Xi grabbed his collar with one hand and snorted: "Try touching her if you dare!"
Then he punched him in the abdomen and threw him to the ground.
Two women beat up two thieves. This kind of thing happened around them. The people around them stopped watching the show on the stage and all gathered around to watch. Yun Xi didn't want to be watched, so she took Li Zixiao's hand and took advantage of it.
He ran out before everyone crowded over.
The two of them walked very fast and disappeared in an instant.
"Ah hoo~"
After running to an alley, Yun Xi leaned against the wall, panting, and smiled at Li Zixiao: "I never expected that you still have time to eliminate violence and be a good person!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Based on Yun Xi's understanding of Li Zixiao, this girl should have a temper that has nothing to do with her.
Li Zixiao said lightly: "If you see it, you can't ignore it."
She knew that if Yun Xi saw it, Yun Xi would definitely take care of it, so she would not ignore it.
The book says that when two people stay together for a long time, they will become more and more like each other.
She didn't know whether Yun Xi looked like her, but she did look more and more like Yun Xi.
When Yun Xi heard her answer, she gave a thumbs up: "Not bad, you are half as good as me!"
Li Zixiao snorted coldly, but before he could say anything, a gasping cry came from the street.
"Sister...wait...wait for me!"
Yun Xi and Li Zixiao turned around and saw that it was the girl who had been stolen just now.
The girl held her thighs with both hands and gasped: "You...how did you run...so fast!"
Yun Xi took a step forward: "What, are you okay?"
After the girl calmed down for a moment, her breathing became easier, and then she said: "No, I just want to say thank you to the two sisters."
Yun Xi glanced at Li Zixiao: "She did it, just thank her."
The girl came over and bowed deeply to Li Zixiao: "Thank you sister for your help. If sister hadn't helped me catch the thief, my mother might have been saved."
Li Zixiao shook his head and said it was okay.
The girl looked at the two of them and suddenly asked: "Are the two sisters from other places?"
Yun Xi looked at Li Zixiao. In her eyes, Li Zixiao was very plainly dressed and looked no different from the pedestrians on the street.
"How did you tell?"
The girl smiled and explained: "If you are from Guzhou City, you will not run so fast if you have done something good!"
Yun Xi: "..."
The girl asked again: "Are you two sisters coming to Guzhou City for a trip? You don't seem to have anything with you, right? Do you want to come and sit at my house? Think of it as a thank you to the two sisters."
Li Zixiao looked at Yun Xi, and Yun Xi thought for a while. Anyway, there is nowhere to go now.
"Okay, then I'll excuse you."
"Not disturbing at all, not disturbing at all!"
When the girl saw that Yun Xi and Li Zixiao had agreed, she was very happy and said, "Sisters, my name is Lin Jiayi, what are your names?"
Before Li Zixiao opened her mouth, Yun Xi answered directly for her: "Her name is Li Zixi, and my name is Yun Xiao."
Lin Jiayi's watery eyes flashed: "What a nice name."
Li Zixiao glanced at Yun Xi. Of course she knew she couldn't use her real name, but she still felt a little uncomfortable changing her name like this.
Yun Xi smiled and said: "Your name is also very nice."
Lin Jiayi said with a smile: "My mother named me this!"
Hearing her mention her mother, Yun Xi suddenly remembered what she had just said and asked, "What did you mean when you said your mother would be hopeless if you didn't get these things back?"
Lin Jiayi's face darkened, then she smiled and said: "It's nothing, just a little matter at home."
Yun Xi saw that she seemed unwilling to say anything, so she stopped asking.
Lin Jiayi led them through the streets and soon arrived at a certain street in the city.
"This is it."
Lin Jiayi stopped in front of a house that looked pretty good.
Pushing open the door, she led Yun Xi and the others inside.
Entering from the gate, you will first see a small yard with a few chickens and ducks. Behind the yard are several rooms, two of which have their doors open and are empty inside.
Lin Jiayi took them to the living room and said: "Sister Yun, Sister Li, you sit here for a while, and I will make you some tea."
Yun Xi waved her hand: "You don't need to drink tea, just plain water will do."
Lin Jiayi hesitated: "Okay."
She trotted into the kitchen and quickly fetched two cups of hot water, but there were only two cups of hot water.
Lin Jiayi put the cup on the table and explained with some embarrassment: "I haven't prepared snacks at home, I will buy them later."
Yun Xi said: "No need to bother. Why are your rooms empty?"
Lin Jiayi looked back at the two empty rooms and said, "That one used to have tenants, but they moved out and became empty."
Yun Xi's eyes lit up and asked: "Then do you still plan to rent it again?"
"Um..." Lin Jiayi looked a little embarrassed, "Do you two sisters want to rent?"
Yun Xi nodded: "You don't have to worry about the rent, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Lin Jiayi lowered her head, pinching her thumbs and index fingers together: "Well... I'm very grateful to the two sisters for their help before, but it's not that I don't want to rent it, it's just that this yard is about to be sold." p>
"Sold? Why?"
Yun Xi's eyes were puzzled, and she looked at the two vacant rooms again. She thought that the previous tenants were also forced to move out because the houses were being sold, right?
Lin Jiayi couldn't hide it anymore, so she had to tell the truth: "Actually, my mother was unfortunately poisoned by snake venom when she went up the mountain some time ago. The doctor said that the poison is extremely difficult to treat, and the required medicinal materials are very difficult to find and expensive. My family doesn't have much money, and the only thing she has is some
The only value left was the yard passed down from our ancestors, so in order to provide medical treatment for my mother, I had to sell the house."
"Poison?"
Yun Xi's eyes suddenly became strange, and then asked: "Can you take me to see it?"
"This..."
Seeing Lin Jiayi's hesitation, Yun Xi said: "Don't worry, I don't mean any harm. It's just that I have some medical skills and some experience in detoxification. I may not be able to help you."
"Really?"
When Lin Jiayi heard this, an expression of surprise immediately appeared on her face.
Yun Xi smiled: "I can't lie to you, just take me to see it."
"Okay! Please follow me."
Lin Jiayi led them to a side room. This room was smaller than the two empty rooms. Lin Jiayi carefully opened the door and whispered: "Mom, I'm back."
There was a slight noise in the house, and a voice came out.
"Jiayi, you're back..."
Just this sound can make people imagine how weak its owner is.
Lin Jiayi walked in quietly, came to the bedside, looked at the pale woman with purple lips on the bed, and said, "Mom, you still can't sleep?"
The woman in front is Lin Jiayi’s mother, Yuan Ling.
Yuan Ling stretched out her hand tremblingly, held Lin Jiayi's hand, and moved her lips slightly: "After a while... I'll go to sleep after a while."
At this time, Yun Xi and Li Zixiao also walked in.
"Jiayi...they are..."
Lin Jiayi quickly explained: "Mom, these two are my benefactors. I accidentally met a gangster when I went out just now. They saved me."
‘Rogue?’
Yun Xi and Li Zixiao raised their eyebrows at the same time, and then they immediately realized that Lin Jiayi had not told her mother that she planned to sell her house to treat her illness.
They reacted very quickly. Yun Xi said with a smile: "Auntie, we just happened to be passing by, but we suddenly came to disturb you and disturbed your rest."
Yuan Ling shook her head. Even though she was tortured like this by the poison, she still smiled and said: "No... I should thank you properly."
"Auntie, it's serious. I heard from Jiayi that you were accidentally poisoned by snake venom some time ago. I happen to have some achievements in medical skills. Why don't you let me help you?"
Yuan Ling hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Yun Xi walked over and Lin Jiayi made way for her. Yun Xi sat on the edge of the bed and looked down at Yuan Ling's face.
There is no trace of blood on this face, and even the lips are dark purple. The poison has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and even drugs may be extremely difficult to cure it.
