"If I had money, would I touch dead people's money like you do?"
Su Junbao replied without stopping his movements, knowing that the other party wanted to test his origins.
"Who knows, in this world, the richer people tend to be, the more they are greedy!" Li Ya replied with a hint of playfulness, not as reserved as before, but more curious.
"Money is a good thing, and there is nothing wrong with being greedy!" Su Junbao replied.
"Wise!"
...!
The two of them chatted without saying a word!
The failure of the escort mission also meant that Su Junbao and Li Ya ended up everywhere, but they were all going back to Qinghe County together. When they had packed up and were about to leave, someone came up with different opinions.
The little guy who had been sticking to Su Junbao suddenly pointed at the cooked and fragrant breakfast in the camp. He hummed a few times and touched his belly at the same time. Su Junbao remembered that they hadn't had breakfast yet, little guy.
I was already hungry just now.
A lot of things happened, but I forgot about it!
"Do we really want to eat here? Why don't we bring some with us and eat on the way?" Li Ya swallowed her saliva and asked in a low voice. She had never eaten next to a bunch of dead people. This atmosphere was too weird.
Not to mention the appetite.
"What's this!"
Su Junbao said quietly: "We were not afraid of them when they were alive. They are dead, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"
After saying that, he carried the little guy and walked to the pot where breakfast was being cooked and sat down.
There are two types of breakfast, the mercenary's is worse, and the employer's has more styles. There is porridge, meat, and some fruits and vegetables. The little guy can't wait any longer, and he points his little finger at the breakfast with large pieces of mutton.
Meat pot, I seem to want to eat this.
Her origin was unknown. Su Junbao didn't know if her diet was the same as that of ordinary people. He scooped up a large piece and put it in the bowl in front of her. The little guy grabbed it and nibbled it down. Not to mention how fragrant it was. For such a young age, his teeth were surprisingly good.
, the bones can be broken in one bite, which is really not what ordinary children can do.
Su Junbao and Li Ya also picked up their bowls and enjoyed this weird breakfast.
An hour passed before the little guy burped and stopped with satisfaction under the gaze of the other two people who were stunned.
Su Junbao is a man, and Li Ya has a strong physique. They both think they have a pretty good appetite, but they have never seen a little guy who can eat like this.
Her small body actually ate the food of seven or eight adults. The total volume was much more than her own. Her little mouth kept eating. I really didn’t know where she hid all the food.
Anyway, it just disappeared.
"You're miserable. I'm afraid you're the only one willing to take care of her in this life!"
Li Ya said, "If you raise a little guy like this in an ordinary family, you will probably die of worry. Your family will have enough food and clothing for you. Now Su Junbao wants to give it to someone else to raise him, but he's afraid he won't be able to give it away."
Su Junbao, who was usually taciturn, was happy. The more he looked at the little guy, the cuter he became.
"This is the reason and benefit of why people are greedy for money!" he said.
"Ouch!"
After the little guy had eaten and drank enough, he reached out towards Su Junbao as if he wanted to hug him. Ever since she appeared, he seemed to have only paid attention to Su Junbao. He was very affectionate. Li Ya tried to tease her but ignored her.
"good!"
Su Junbao hugged her over and helped her wipe her greasy mouth clean.
Afterwards, Li Ya rushed over to a car, Su Junbao and the little guy sat in it, and the three of them rushed back to Qinghe County together, where their homes were!
The little guy ate and drank enough, nestled in Su Junbao's arms, and after being gently coaxed by him a few times, he fell asleep. He was really good at eating and sleeping!
"You look like you're not in a good mood!"
As Li Ya was rushing to the car, Su Junbao took the initiative to talk to her for the first time.
He could see that although the woman in front of him seemed calm and cheerful, the haze in her eyes would not go away no matter what.
"Is it okay?"
Li Ya smiled bitterly: "My mercenary group is gone. The Fire Cloud Group was founded by my father. It was once glorious. Since he passed away and passed it to me, the business has become worse and worse. I can only make do with it."
To survive, and now I have been betrayed by my subordinates, and the only thing he left me is gone."
"Why is business getting worse and worse?" Su Junbao asked. In my impression, this female group leader was quite smart and capable.
"Because we don't have the strength!"
Li Ya sighed: "A good mercenary group needs at least one or two Nascent Soul Realm strongmen to be in charge, so that other employers can rest assured and hand over the business to you. After all, the world is chaotic and bandits are everywhere. It's a matter of concern."
His wealth and life! Since my father passed away, Huoyun Tuan has no such masters and cannot recruit masters. As time goes by, all the old employers have switched to his family, and the business has gradually declined. "
"Over the years, we have been doing some small business of transporting goods over short distances. Big business has never been our turn. We can barely make ends meet. We are called a mercenary group, but in fact they are almost the same as horsemen. Those who follow me will give birth to
I'm not surprised that they are evil, they are all just making ends meet, who doesn't want to live a better life?"
"But you didn't participate!" Su Junbao said.
"Yes!"
Li Ya's eyes were blank: "My father left this sign to me. I could die in poverty, but I would never destroy my own sign! But now there is nothing!"
When she said this, there was moisture in her always strong eyes. She worked hard to support the mercenary group, but was betrayed by her subordinates, and everything she had was destroyed. You can imagine how lonely she felt at this time.
"If you don't become a mercenary, you can do other things!" Su Junbao said.
Li Ya smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Don't talk about me, let's talk about you. Who are you? I am not a fool. To have such a cultivation level as you, I must be from a wealthy family. You are either rich or noble. Why are you in Qinghe County?"
, but don’t have any information about your origins?”
"I am nobody, I am Su Junbao!"
Su Junbao answered calmly, but Li Ya could hear something in his calmness.
Sixteen or seventeen years old, which is supposed to be the most energetic age, but this young man is as calm as stagnant water, making people feel no enthusiasm and warmth for life. This is really not suitable for his age!
Maybe he had some past and didn't want to mention it again, Li Ya thought to herself.
"With your ability, if you took action earlier, you could have saved more people. Why didn't you do it?" She changed the topic and asked again.
"There are too many things in this world that I can't control, so why should I care about the lives of those people!"
Su Junbao replied, and Li Ya was silent. Someone had just said this to him not long ago.
"Actually, you don't want others to know that you have such skills, right?" She thought for a while and then asked.
"You are a smart woman!" Su Junbao did not deny it.
"If I hadn't agreed to take in this girl, would you have left me alone without even rescuing me?" she asked again.
"That's right!"
Su Junbao answered very simply, and Li Ya rolled her eyes for a while. A young man of sixteen or seventeen years old could be considered a man. After all, he was a great beauty, but he didn't know how to show mercy at all!
"Now that I know it, what are you going to do?" Li Ya turned her head and gave her a playful look.
"I believe you won't tell anyone!" Su Junbao said.
"That's not necessarily true. You need to know that women's mouths are the least strict!" Li Ya had a smile on her face.
"If you were this kind of person, I wouldn't save you!" Su Junbao said.
"But I'm afraid I can't control my mouth? Why don't you give me some benefits, like hush money?"
"I just saved your life!"
"Yes, but I'm afraid I can't control myself. What should I do?"
"You will take care of it, because I can save you or kill you again!" Su Junbao said.
Li Ya's heart trembled. The other person spoke very calmly, but Li Ya had no doubt that he could do what he said. This calm face seemed harmless and ordinary, but when he really wanted to kill someone, he was completely
It's another face.
"Really, I can't even take a joke!" Li Ya pretended to be coquettish and covered it up.
Su Junbao looked at her but said nothing.
"You haven't seen real killing yet!" he said to himself.
"Hey, can we continue to be friends when we return to Qinghe County?"
Li Ya broke the embarrassment. This was usually said to her by other men.
"I don't need friends!" Su Junbao said quietly.
Hearing this, Li Ya rolled her eyes again. She usually rejected others, but she didn't expect that one day she would be rejected by others, and she refused so neatly.
"How can a person not need friends?" she asked unwillingly.
"I don't need friends!" Su Junbao repeated his words.
"Well, since we can't be friends, since your swordsmanship is so good, why don't I accept you as my master? It's not a loss to have a beautiful apprentice to help you, right?"
"I don't need an apprentice either!"
"Then what do you need? You can't always be alone, right?"
"I'm all alone!"
"Then you are a weirdo and no girl will like you in the future!"
"I don't need them to like me!"
"If you don't believe it, you will regret it sooner or later!"
"If you become a slave girl, I can consider it!"
"go to hell!"
...!
Qinghe County, where Su Junbao was located, was a small remote county in the wilderness of the Northern Territory. When he returned there, he and Li Ya separated.
One of them lives in the west of the city, and the other lives in the north of the city.
Su Junbao returned to the small house where he lived. It had been more than half a month since he left here, and the house was still the same, empty. Su Junbao used to be alone, but now there is a new guest.
The little guy was very curious about his new home. He held Su Junbao's hand and looked left and right. He raised his head and hummed from time to time to refresh his sense of presence and received a loving response from Su Junbao!
It has been five or six days since I picked up the little one. Apart from eating an amazing amount of food, occasionally acting coquettishly with Su Junbao, and satisfying three major things of eating, drinking and sleeping every day, she still looks stupid and can't speak.
Su Junbao couldn't figure out her origin, but the more she looked at her, the cuter she became. He wouldn't mind having more little rice pails at home!
This house has only three tile-roofed houses, a small courtyard, and an outdoor kitchen!
Pushing open the door of his room on the east side, Su Junbao took the little guy and walked in.
The room was ordinary. Su Junbao walked to the wall and took out something like a bronze plate, which was only as big as a palm. He inserted it into a secret card slot at the head of the bed, pressed the bronze plate and twisted it gently.
There was only a "click!" sound, and on the floor under Su Junbao's feet, the floor tiles separated to the left and right, and a gloomy hole appeared, which could accommodate people walking down, and light came out of the hole!
