Ms. High Risk Occupation

Chapter 57
Just do it, Ning Zhao looked at Chu Yu from top to bottom, the tattered clothes, the little face stained with black ash, um...it looks really pitiful.

[Ning Zhao, Ning Zhao, those two bottles of mineral water that I drank, I reclaimed the bottles for you, and they can be exchanged for a map to the city lord's mansion. ]
A map appeared in Ning Zhao's mind. It showed that if you walk two streets ahead and turn two corners, you will arrive at the City Lord's Mansion.

She grabbed Chu Yu's hand and led him to the route marked on the map.

People came and went on the road, Ning Zhao and Chu Yu's shabby beggar appearance attracted many people to take a second look.

Walking through the high wall, a gate painted vermilion was exposed. On the gate hung a plaque with gold characters on a red background, with three words "City Lord's Mansion" written on it. There were two stone lions standing in front of the gate.

The gate of the City Lord's Mansion looks magnificent.

The scarlet door was pulled open from inside, and a few servants came out.

Ning Zhao hurriedly took a few steps forward, and looked timidly at the young man in front, "This... this big brother, I heard that the City Lord's Mansion is recruiting miscellaneous maids these days..."

Hearing this, the young man understood her background, waved his hand, pointed to the alley next to him, and said, "Go this alley and go to the back door, Nanny Sun is there."

"Hmm..." He looked Ning Zhao and Chu Yu beside her up and down, and said hesitantly, "I think you two are here to escape?"

He bowed his head to signal Ning Zhao to come closer and speak, "I don't want to tell you those falsehoods, Nanny Sun is the kindest person on weekdays, you guys wait a moment, try to speak as cruelly as possible..."

Ning Zhao understood, nodded, with gratitude written all over his face, "Thank you, brother."

The boy waved his hand again, and sighed, "Oh...it's okay, but, I only told you about Nanny Sun, don't tell anyone else, or you'll all be chosen..."

Ning Zhao nodded again.

After speaking, the servants straightened their clothes and went outside.

Watching them gradually go away, Ning Zhaocai pulled Chu Yu who was beside him, and walked towards the alley pointed by the boy just now.

At the end of the alley, there is a low wooden door, the door is open, and a nun sits at the door doing needlework.

Ning Zhao pinched his palms hard, and led Chu Yu towards the small wooden door.

"Hey, what do you two do?"

This nanny was wearing a dark blue cotton gown, with gray hair and kind eyes, she looked easy to talk to.

Ning Zhao leaned forward and pinched his palm again, "Are you Grandma Sun?"

"I heard... I heard that the City Lord's Mansion is recruiting workers for the past two days, so my brother and I wanted to come here to try our luck."

Nanny Sun looked at Ning Zhaozai carefully, and sighed faintly.

"Okay, okay, you two, come in first."

Ning Zhao led Chu Yu, bent down and walked into the low wooden door.

As soon as I walked in, I saw that the yard was full of black vats, and the racks that had been erected were full of colorful cloths.

The promenade not far away was full of people, men, women and children.

There was also an old man leaning on a cane who kept beating his chest and coughing tremblingly, leaning on the wall and looking out, and two little girls who looked about four or five years old and wore shofar braids were playing and chasing.

"Here, you two, stand in the back and line up."

"Who can enter the City Lord's Mansion through the audition is not decided by me, but by Madam Xu."

After speaking, Nanny Sun waved her hand, sat back on the small wooden bench by the door, and went to do her needlework.

There were too many people in the corridor. When Ning Zhao and Chu Yu walked over, people had already overflowed from the corridor.

Standing in front of her was the old man on crutches. Ning Zhao looked at it again and again, but still couldn't help asking softly, "Grandpa, are you also here to do odd jobs in the City Lord's Mansion?"

The old man let out a piercing cough, beat his chest and gasped for breath, and answered after a while: "Yes... yes."

Ning Zhao was afraid that the old man would not catch his breath, so he didn't dare to ask again.She squatted down and looked at the two little girls with shofar braids who kept chasing beside the corridor.

"Little sister, you also come to the city lord's mansion to do odd jobs?"

The two little girls looked exactly alike, and they both looked at her with watery black eyes blinking, "Yes, pretty sister."

Ning Zhao: ...

May I ask, has the labor force in your prefecture become so scarce?

She silently tightened Chu Yu's sleeve beside her, met his gaze, and blinked lightly twice.

City Lord's Mansion, something is wrong.

Chu Yu also blinked twice, but the clear eyes were full of emotions that Ning Zhao couldn't express.

Ning Zhao didn't know if he understood what he meant, so he could only hold on to his sleeve tightly.

There is something wrong with this city lord's mansion at first glance, and now they are just ordinary people without spiritual power, if they get separated, I'm afraid something bad will happen.

The line is getting shorter little by little.

In front of Ning Zhao, only the old man on crutches was left.

A pregnant woman with a big belly stood in front of him, and she stepped into the threshold with her belly in her arms.

The door closed.

Ning Zhao pricked up his ears, wanting to hear how the interview went inside.

The room was surprisingly quiet, there was no sound at all.

After a while, the door opened.

The pregnant woman with a big belly was kneeling on the ground, clutching a handkerchief, facing the door, with snot and tears on her face.

"Wow, Lord City Lord, have pity on me."

"The child's father disappeared, so he left me as a girl with a big belly. My mother thought I was ashamed and wanted to drive me out of the house. She said that if I stayed at home tomorrow, I would let the clan elders Come here to judge, maybe you will sink me into the pond."

"I really really need this job, woo woo woo... Otherwise, or when the child is born, I will live with him on the road."

"We orphans and widows, really can't do it..."

It is true that those who hear it are sad, and those who see it cry.

The nanny who was holding the door seemed to be moved by what she said, waved her hand, and reluctantly said: "Well, since your family's situation is so special, let's reluctantly hire you."

"Go to Nanny Sun at the door, she will arrange work for you."

Just after she finished speaking, Ning Zhao saw the pregnant woman who was still kneeling on the ground just now, with a big belly that seemed to be inconvenient to move, jumped up and walked past her triumphantly.

This... this also works?
As soon as the pregnant woman left, the grandfather who was standing in front of Ning Zhao and leaning on a cane suddenly collapsed in front of the door, beating his chest continuously, "Old man, I am already over 80 years old."

"The two boys in the family don't live up to their expectations. They only know how to spend time and drink, and lost all the money left by their ancestors."

"I, the old man, plant a few acres of vegetable fields at home. Before dawn in the morning, the rooster crows for the first time and I have to get up to choose vegetables and sell them on the street. It's just to send my two little grandchildren to school. Let them go the way of their father."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

The nanny leaning against the door sighed, and said suspiciously: "Why are you one or two at home so difficult? Logically speaking, it is impossible for us to have so many poor people in Luan City..."
