Chapter 556 There is no free lunch in this world!

"Yes, yes, Brother Ye."

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai respectfully nodded and bowed their heads. They dared not disobey Ye Xiao's words.

after that.

The entire Renjia Town also began to become more lively.

You can see rickshaw drivers running around in the streets and alleys, they are very motivated.

Take people's money and do things for them.

Each of them got a lot of copper coins from Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, which made them work, how could they not work hard!

You know, their monthly salary is only about two or three hundred copper coins!

If they really found the whereabouts of Xuanyuanjian, both Qiu Sheng and Wen Caike would be rewarded.

However, in the eyes of these rickshaw drivers, what Xuanyuanjian is there in this Renjia Town.

There are legends about Renjia Town.

They have also heard of it.

But they didn't believe it.

I just think this is just a lie.

But who knows, there are still people who believe in this legend.

And pay them to find it.

Damn, people are stupid and have a lot of money!
Watching the rickshaw drivers running around, Qiu Sheng's pretty face still showed a bit of worry.

Can he really find Xuanyuan Arrow?

Obviously, it is impossible.

And if this task goes wrong, how should he explain it to Brother Ye?

The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became.

Even Wencai thought of this.

"Gentlemen, the little old man has been hungry for a whole day and hasn't eaten. Can you do me a favor and give the little old man a bite of food?"

At this time, a thin old man appeared, and the old man obviously noticed Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, who made a lot of money, and they made a lot of copper coins when they made a move. This is definitely a rich master!
"Swish!"

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai couldn't help looking at the skinny old man in front of him.

Really don't say it.

This old man is so naked, it's very pitiful.

Moreover, beside the old man, there was a child with a sallow complexion and a bad complexion.

The child was about five or six years old, and also looked very thin.

This is clearly the two beggars.

"it is good!"

Wencai and Qiusheng are kind-hearted people, so they agreed directly and readily.

Soon, the old man who got the copper plate knelt down and kowtowed to Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai on the spot.

"Thank you, thank you."

The old man was very grateful, his eyes were red, and he even said, "Little Tiger, hurry up, gentlemen."

The child with a bad complexion also imitated the old man's kowtow.

Seeing this, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai quickly helped them up.

"You're welcome."

The two said hurriedly.

While speaking, an inexplicable sadness welled up in their hearts.

There are still too many poor people in Renjia Town.

at the moment.

This is an era when the warlords ruled and the people were in dire straits, but the poorly clothed people could be seen from time to time.

Not to mention.

Now, there are still zombies and ghosts wreaking havoc in this world!

Not long after, the old man with the copper coin also bought several steamed buns for the child named Xiaohu beside him.

Although Xiaohu was still small, after seeing the white and fat white steamed buns, he started to eat them like a wolf.

"Cough cough!"

He even coughed again and again.

"Don't worry, eat slowly, no one will grab you."

The old man said quickly.

Seeing such a scene, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai felt strangely uncomfortable.

The two even talked to the old man one after another.

After some conversation.

The two of them understood.

The little tiger next to the old man is his own grandson.

The old man's name is Sun Lei, and his Sun family used to be a wealthy family.Life is pretty good, at least eating enough for three meals is not a problem.

No matter what.

These days, bandits breed.

In the village where he lived, he met a group of bandits.

The bandits were unreasonable and directly plundered their village.

Kill anyone you see, grab anything you see!
Therefore, in that disaster, all his family members died, only he and Xiaohu went out at that time and survived by chance.

At the same time, there are still a few servants alive.

"Hey!"

Qiusheng and Wencai couldn't help sighing, they really didn't expect that Mr. Sun Lei in front of him would have such a past.

Also.

Who would be willing to be a beggar if it is not a last resort!

"Old sir, where are your servants?"

Qiusheng asked curiously.

"The tree fell and the monkeys scattered, the village was attacked, and the servants also dispersed. There are loyal servants who will never leave the little old man. However, when encountering zombies, the loyal servants protect the little old man and the little tiger, and fight with the little old man." Zombies are stalling for time..."

Sun Leihong said with eyes, but at the end of the sentence, he remained silent and said no more.

Qiusheng and Wencai guessed and didn't understand.

Sun Lei's loyal servant may have been bitten to death by zombies!
They have seen too many similar things.

In the face of zombies, the people simply have no power to fight back.

But it was also thanks to the underworld yin soldiers and yin gods.

Renjia Town and the surrounding counties are relatively safe.

But the safest place still belongs to Renjia Town.

after all.

Renjia Town has their Master Ninth Uncle sitting in town!

Then, the old man Sun Lei also said, "Two gentlemen, what can I do for you? Can the little old man help you? It seems that you are looking for something! The little old man can help you too!"

As soon as he said this, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai showed doubts in their eyes.

It seems that he also thinks that the old man Sun Lei may not be able to find him.

after all.

How can it be so easy to find the Xuanyuan Arrow in this legend.

However, the two also talked about it without any concealment.

It would be good to have one more Sun Lei to help.

"I'm afraid it's hard to find, but no matter what, the little old man will definitely work hard to find it for you, it's just this food..."

Sun Lei's old wrinkled face looked a little embarrassed.

"Old man, you only have two mouths, and it's not easy to keep yourself full!"

Qiu Sheng said something.

Wencai nodded repeatedly.

"It's not just two mouths..."

Sun Lei looked very embarrassed.

Soon, children appeared around.

These children are all wearing thin clothes, what's more, they are so naked that they don't even have a single piece of clothing, and they are all stiff and purple from the cold, they look very pitiful.

These children generally range in age from five to eight years old.

Qiu Sheng counted more than 20 children.

Do not!
Already gathered more than 40 children.

"This……"

Rao Qiusheng was also a little uneasy.

These kids must be too big!
Is this asking him to control more than 40 mouths?
"Two gentlemen, do you think this can be done? If it can be done, don't worry, these children are very well-behaved and smart, and will definitely work hard to help you find this Xuanyuan Arrow, and they will never sneak around! Don't do anything!"

Although Sun Lei is not young, but at this moment he is standing upright, his cloudy eyes are full of anticipation and uneasiness.

If this cannot be done.

I'm afraid...there will be a child again, or he will freeze to death, or starve to death.

This damn world.

People's lives are getting harder and harder.

Even begging and picking up rubbish for a living, it is difficult to survive.

And if you want a shelter from the wind and rain, you can't find it, and you can only eat and sleep on the street!

"I'm afraid I can't be the master of this matter."

Qiu Sheng understood what he was saying.

The person who can decide this matter is not him but Brother Ye!

"Ah this..."

Sun Lei's face was full of surprise, but also pleading, "I don't know this gentleman, can you introduce me to the person who can make the decision?"

After all, his eyes were full of longing, and he stared eagerly at Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai.

Even the scrawny children beside him stared at the two of them with pitiful eyes.

"Brother, let's help them!"

Wen Cai suddenly spoke.

It can be seen that he sympathizes with Sun Lei and these hungry children.

He even saw the shadow of his past in these children.

At that time, if there was no master to save him.

In that year, he was afraid that he would be frozen to death, so how could he survive to this day!
"it is good!"

Qiu Sheng nodded his head heavily, although he was always unruly, but his nature was also very kind.

In the blink of an eye.

Qiusheng and Wencai led Sun Lei and a group of children to Yizhuang to meet Ye Xiao.

Uncle Jiu was also there, and he was very touched.

He even wanted to directly say that he would help, and that he would definitely not see Sun Lei and these poor children living on the streets.

But when the words reached his throat, Uncle Jiu swallowed them back abruptly.

Even though he wanted to help, he was powerless.

He doesn't have that much money to support so many mouths.

Even though his fame is getting bigger and bigger nowadays, and he is called the exorcist Taoist, Maoshan Taoist, zombie Taoist, etc. by the people, but he is still very poor.

It's just because he doesn't take any money sent by the common people.

Even if the common people secretly put gifts in Yizhuang, he would try his best to return them afterwards.

In this era, it is not easy for the common people to live!
"Old sir, I will help you with this task, but I have a request."

Ye Xiao, who was sitting on a mahogany chair, seemed extremely decisive, without being muddled at all.

"any request?"

After a while, Sun Lei asked hurriedly with a look of joy on his face.

"Looking for Xuanyuanjian! There is no free lunch in this world. If you want me to give them a bite, you have to work, don't you?"

Ye Xiao's expression was very calm.

Even if his behavior has the taste of employing child labor.

But right now, that's too much.

It is common to see child labor in this day and age.

Besides, if Xuanyuanjian is not found, everyone will be doomed!

"Mr. Ye, please rest assured, even if the little old man is going all out, he will find this Xuanyuan Arrow for you!"

Sun Lei's eyes were piercing and his expression was serious.

Even if he knew that Xuanyuan Arrow was just a legend in Renjia Town, he would try his best to find it.

Regarding Sun Lei's attitude, Ye Xiao also nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately, he directly took out dozens of dollars and stuffed them on Sun Lei's callused arms, "Work hard, I will never treat you badly!"

"Thank you Mr. Ye."

Feeling tens of dollars of ocean in the palm of his hand, this made Sun Lei feel like he was dreaming, as if he had returned to the beginning, he was also the head of a wealthy family, but unfortunately, there was a sudden change...

All kinds of memories from the past resurfaced in his mind one by one, which also made him feel very sad.

Next.

On the streets and alleys of Renjia Town, not only can you see rickshaw drivers in coarse clothes, but you can also see children in tattered clothes. They are all looking for Xuanyuan arrows. Pick it up and put it in your arms.

And if that thing belongs to someone else, then spend some coins to buy it!

"Are these people crazy? Are they looking for Xuanyuanjian?"

"My few broken arrows that have been kept for an unknown number of years are actually sold for more than ten yuan!"

"It is said that this is all written by Mr. Ye!"

"Mr. Ye? But Uncle Jiu's distant relative, Ye Ze?"

……

The people of Renjia Town also expressed different opinions on this matter.

It's just that most of their opinions were sarcasm, and they all felt that Ye Xiao's head might have been kicked by a donkey.

if not.

How could he think about looking for the Xuanyuan Arrow, which could not exist at all.

Even, these people still laughed at those rickshaw drivers who didn't go to pull the carts, but just looked for Xuanyuanjian, who didn't have any bullshit!
Near the port of Renjia Town, a customer who bought fish smiled and said to a burly bearded man, "You and Liu Wu, sell your fish well, don't laugh at other people's rickshaw drivers, do you know other people's rickshaw drivers , looking for Xuanyuanjian, how much did Mr. Ye pay you?"

"How much remuneration can I give? It's only one or two copper coins!"

The bearded man Liu Wu responded, also concentrated on picking up a sharp kitchen knife, and began to disembowel the fish on the backing plate.

"Chichi!"

His knife skills are also quite good. In just a few seconds, he ripped open a fish, quickly took out the inedible viscera, fish liver, etc. inside the fish, and threw them into the trash can next to him. .

"No, no, everyone has already taken a few copper coins, and they also include food and lodging, and that's what it is, yes, it's overtime pay, and if they find Xuanyuanjian, they will be rewarded a lot..."

A customer who buys fish tells what he has learned.

Hearing that, the bearded man Liu Wu's eyeballs all rounded up.

The fish he sells is also very difficult to sell recently, and the business is particularly bleak.

You can't make too much a day, at most a dozen or so copper coins.

All that is earned is hard money.

But the result.

What did he hear!

Those rickshaw drivers who went to look for Xuanyuan Sword could each get a few copper coins, plus food and lodging, and overtime pay.

"Is there a copper plate to get every day?"

The bearded man Liu Wu's eyes became even hotter, and he asked questions quickly.

"It must be so. Mr. Ye is a rich and powerful person. Could it be, Liu Wu, you forgot that there was a rumor in Renjia Town some time ago. Mr. Ye directly invited many people to have breakfast at Yuelai Inn for free , even the milk is given to people for free! It is definitely beneficial to work with such a person."

The customer who bought fish said with a smile, but his brows were frowned, "Liu Wu, cut up the fish for me quickly! I'm still waiting to go home and drink a bowl of fish soup to warm up!"
