I saw the child looking at Xiaomai with his eyes while eating. His unconcealed smile made the child feel furious.
Xiaomai smiled and saw his noodles in front of the child for him to eat. But at this time the child didn't dare to eat it anymore, looking at Xiaomai's creepy smile.
"Eat it, why don't you eat it?" Xiaomai said with a smile.
The child said in a panic, "Why are you laughing, your saliva is flowing out."
"Is there any?" Xiaomai wiped the corner of her mouth with her hands.
"You eat it, I really have no malice."
The child kept vigilant and ate the remaining bowl of noodles and said, "I'm leaving, thank you."
Xiaomai hurriedly said, "Don't rush to leave first, what's your name? How old is it."
"Why should I tell you, I don't know you?" the child said calmly.
"I'll help you to help you get the chance, and I'll treat you to noodles." Xiaomai said with black noodles.
The child was really scared when he looked at Xiaomai under the black. He said timidly: "My name is Xiaobei, 8 years old, and he has no father or mother. That's why he does this kind of thing."
When Xiaobei heard that he had no father or mother, Xiaomai also thought that he was the same in this world, and his sympathy was flooded.
"Just you just called Boss, I decided to call you, the little brother, under you, and call Boss again." Xiaomai said seriously.
Xiaobei said disgustedly, "Get out, I'll take advantage of me."
"I have no parents like you. We are all orphans, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to sell you." Xiaomai stared at you and said.
"Also, why did you appear in the mercenary's taskbar? You still offer a reward of 8,000 taels? What did you do?" Xiaomai said solemnly.
Xiaobei said impatiently, "How did I know? I didn't steal or rob. I'm leaving, don't follow me."
"I told you very seriously that you are worth 8,000 taels. I took on the task and handed you directly to the employer who posted the task. Don't I feel good?" Xiaomai said solemnly.
"I really didn't do anything. I was hungry and just stole food and didn't steal anything else." Xiaobei was really a little timid.
"Think about it seriously, otherwise can you, the orphan kid, be worth such a high reward? Forget it, I'll give you to the employer who sent the task, so that I can get a lot of money."
"No, don't be the boss, I'll think about it again."
Xiaobei was really scared at this moment, afraid that Xiaomai would hand him over to others, and even the boss shouted out.
"I remembered that I picked up a box outside the city, but I couldn't open it. I wonder if I was looking for me for that box." Xiaobei said suddenly.
"Where is the box now, take me to see it, or you will be handed over." Xiaomai threatened.
"In a cave in the suburbs of the city, where I usually live alone, I will take you there." Xiaobei said unhappily, and he didn't want to get any trouble himself.
On the way, Xiaomai found a straw hat and put it on for Xiaobei to avoid unnecessary trouble for other mercenaries to see it.
"Xiaobei, how did your parents die? My parents killed the bandit more than a month ago." Xiaomai said sadly.
"I don't know, I have lived with Uncle Zhang since I was a child. A year ago, since Uncle Zhang died, I have lived alone." Xiaobei said sadly.
Xiaobei seemed to feel the sadness in Xiaomai's heart and said softly, "Boss, you still have me, I will protect you from now on."
Xiaomai was amused when she heard the words, "Bah, I can still protect me, and you will be with me from now on."
Half an hour later, Xiaobei brought Xiaomai to a cave. The cave was extremely secret and there were bushes around the entrance of the cave.
The cave is not big, only one adult is tall, about one meter wide and 10 meters deep. A gloomy feeling is revealed in the dark cave, and I don’t know how Xiaobei lives here.
Xiaomai took out a few glowing cat's eye stones from the storage bag and placed them on the stone wall of the cave. Suddenly the entire cave lit up.
Xiaobei looked at the glowing cat's eye stone and felt something was strange. He picked up one and looked at it.
"Xiaobei, where is the box? Show me the one." Xiaomai asked.
Xiaobei put down the cat's eye stone and kept searching in a lot of things in the corner of the wall, and finally found the box.
Xiaomai took the box and looked at the box left and right, an ordinary stone box the size of a palm. Xiaomai tried to force the box to open it, but with the current strength, it could not be opened.
The wheat poured Tianyuanli into it. With a click, the stone box opened. There was a map inside. There were mountains, rivers and rivers on the map, and there was a particularly high mountain. However, there was nothing marked on the map, and I didn't know where it was. .
Is it because I was looking for not Xiaobei, but the map in the stone box in Xiaobei's hand? But I can't see anything special?
Xiaomai took out a pen and ink and rubbed the map, and then put the map back in the box.
"Xiaobei, leave this matter to me. You can stay here for another night. If you are willing to follow me, I will pick you up tomorrow." Xiaomai ordered.
After saying that, Xiaomai turned around and left.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiaomai returned to the inn and took out the bronze trophy of the task, injected Tianyuanli into it and entered the task number.
I saw a sound from the bronze medal: "Have you found the person? Where?"
Xiaomai responded: "The person has been found, but what you are looking for is not the person, right?"
"Hmph, you just need to hand over the person to me, and you don't have to worry about anything else." An impatient voice came from the bronze medal.
"The person will not hand it over to you, but the stone box can be handed over to you."
"Do you know the stone box, have you seen what's inside?" An angry voice came from the bronze medal.
"I haven't seen it before. We have professional ethics. I only have money." Xiaomai said with her face and ears red.
"Okay, how much money do you want? As long as you return the stone box to me."
"The task is 8,000 taels, at least you can get it over and then raise an integer of 20,000 taels of silver."
"Okay, trade now."
After saying that, the mysterious man on the bronze medal side puts the money in the bronze medal space, and Xiaomai also puts the stone box in the bronze medal space. As long as both parties agree, the items will be exchanged, and the bronze medal will be directly deducted from the handling fee.
The transaction was extremely smooth, and after deducting the commission of 1,000 taels, there were 19,000 taels left. The commission was really high.
Xiaomai recalled how cheerful the man on the other side agreed. Is the money going to be small? If I had known it, I would have offered a price of 100,000,800 taels.
I also really admire myself, lying with my eyes open, and being professional. But Xiaomai was also worried that the other party would find that the stone box had been opened.
It’s useless to worry, so I’ll go to the Mercenary Guild tomorrow to check the situation. Now that the money is enough, you can go to the auction. Then see what good treasures are there.
The next day, Xiaomai went to the Mercenary Guild early in the morning and could no longer see the task of finding Xiaobei in the taskbar. Then he took on a simple task of finding things.
"Miss, please ask me if I trade in the token after I complete the task. Will the employer know who I am?" Xiaomai said with a smile.
"Oh, it's my little brother. I don't know the situation, unless you indicate your identity." The receptionist explained.
"Thank you, my sister, I'm going to do the task. I'll treat you to a meal when I have time."
Xiaomai left the Mercenary Guild and completed the inquiry task and walked directly to the cave where Chengjiao Xiaobei lived.
