Chapter 99

Originally met Lord Grim here, and talked about many major events in the world.In the end, Lord Grim also invited He Ergou and Xian Yunzi to go to Chang'an to give a helping hand. Unexpectedly, at such a critical moment...

"You still ask me for money?"

He Ergou looked at the strong man who stopped him with an unbelievable expression, as if he was very ignorant and made some terrible mistake.

After all, I am penniless now, and I have to pay double the money when I lose to Lord Grim this time... He Ergou recalled the dishes he ate a little bit, it seems that every dish is worth a lot...

As a result, He Ergou, who had no money to buy it, could only be forced to make such a bad move.

But the big man didn't buy it, put a hand on He Ergou's shoulder, and said viciously: "What's the matter? Eat so much and still want to renege? I don't care what is important about your sect! I have never had any reason to eat Overlord’s meal!”

Seeing that this person did not let go, He Ergou had no choice but to talk nicely and said: "Why don't you... don't worry, leave me an address, and when I'm done with the matter, I'll take the money and settle it all at once! "

The man snorted coldly, and said again: "I have been waiting so patiently for you to finish your business. You see, the audience nearby has already left. How long do you want me to wait? Are you entertaining us?"

The big man was furious, and he didn't speak any more, he just folded his hands on his chest, and several young men around him also stood up with fierce faces, staring at He Ergou fiercely.

He Ergou saw that this man refused to accept soft or hard advice and would not compromise, so he had no choice but to look at Master and Lord Grim as if asking for help.

The two of them stood aside and looked at the tragic situation here, but when He Ergou's pleading eyes came, they both looked away in unison.

Although Xian Yunzi wanted to help his beloved disciple very much, he was penniless and had nothing of value to sell.After all, the apprentice really ate other people's food, and there is absolutely no reason for him to come forward to threaten him... After tossing and turning, there is always no way, so he simply turns his head away.

And Jun Moxiao, as a disciple of the beggar gang, although he is extremely greedy, he can always find various places to eat many delicacies from mountains and seas in various ways. Although he is called a beggar, his food is better than that of rich people.But in terms of money, Jun Moxiao is no different from a beggar. He has been in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and he probably hasn't even touched five taels of silver, and he can't help at this time.

He Ergou saw that the two men's eyes were evasive, but they were unwilling to face each other. It seemed that they couldn't count on them.

The strong man saw that his eyes were dodging, and he didn't speak for a long time. He was already impatient, and finally let go: "It doesn't matter if you have no money, you owe me a total of 53 taels of silver. I will give you a good deal. You only need to earn enough money here." 50 taels, I will let you go."

"50 taels??" He Ergou was sweating when he heard this number. The 50 taels of silver might be more than enough to buy a good sword. "Where did I get the 50 taels of silver... When I earn 50 taels, will I still have time to go to Chang'an to take the helm..."

Seeing that He Ergou was hesitant, the strong man waved his hand and persuaded him: "You owe me 50 taels of silver now, and it is absolutely impossible to leave. Why don't you just stay and think about how to make money? As a Famous and upright, but want to deny it for money?"

Xian Yunzi said: "Ergou, you have to deal with it here for two days first, there is a matter of human life in Chang'an, there is no delay. After I have been there, I will go back to the valley to bring you money back."

Jun Mo smiled and said: "After Luo Yu and the others are defeated, it will be enough to collect some gold and silver from them."

Jun Mo laughed at this, Xianyunzi and He Ergou just took it as a joke. After all, we are all decent people, traveling in the world, no matter how poor they are, how can they take the property of evil people?

But Lord Grim's words really came from the bottom of his heart.Although he believes in loyalty, he has always been informal, thinking that since it is the talent of the unjust, it is not a bad thing to use it for useful things.

He Ergou thought about it, but there was no other way, so he had to stay here temporarily to find some ways to make money.

If he can earn enough money, he will be free naturally. Even if he can't make money, he can wait for the master to come back to redeem himself. Feeling a little comforted, he agreed.

The splitting of Chang'an is not only about the lives of the Beggar Clan, Xian Yunzi also hopes to take this opportunity to see the true identity of the enemy in one fell swoop, so naturally he dare not delay.

He also saw that although this strong man would not compromise, he was still a loyal person after all, and there was no humiliation in his words or deeds.

So Xian Yunzi explained a few words to He Ergou, and then set off with Lord Grim, going to Chang'an first.

He Ergou watched the two people's backs gradually go away, sighed, turned his head and asked, "Can you let me walk around the village first, and see what I can do to make money here quickly."

The strong man nodded and told him to go see it by himself, and they were waiting here.

He Ergou was slightly surprised and asked, "Aren't you going to follow me? Aren't you afraid that I will run away?"

The brawny man smiled heartily and said, "We don't return to the inn. We don't need this mere 50 taels in the first place. We are just doing business. We should have a bottom line. We can't be eaten by others for nothing. Besides, you are a decent disciple of a famous family." , if you want to renege on your debt, we can tie you up with iron chains, and you can still escape."

Seeing that this person is straightforward, He Ergou is an open-minded man, but he doesn't seem to know who he is, if they tie him up...he will never be able to escape.

So, He Ergou cupped his hands and said: "So I will trouble everyone to stay here for a while, and I will come as soon as I go."

After that, He Ergou walked all the way to the center of the village.

This village is not that big, but compared to ordinary small villages, it is considered to be a small house with a small scale.

He Ergou walked slowly past the gates of the villagers, most of whom were sitting at the gates.

Either the women in the family watched the men go to the fields to harvest the crops; or the old people sat at the door talking and laughing; there were also many children squatting on the ground in a circle, having fun.

Most of the villagers were sitting outside their houses, with their doors open. After all, it was a crisp autumn day, and everyone hoped to let the autumn wind carry the aroma of food into their houses.

Every time he passed by the door of a house, He Ergou looked inside. Apart from the necessities of life, there were almost nothing extra in the homes of these villagers.

It can be said that the family is destitute and poor.

People here are engaged in the traditional working method of "men plowing and women weaving". While the men plow the fields, the women often spin threads at home.

After walking through more than ten houses in a row, He Ergou could see a woman sitting in the house, working on a loom without saying a word.

Almost every family is like this, and every household remains the same.

Suddenly, with a thought, He Ergou stopped in front of a house, opened his eyes and looked inside.

A woman was sitting on a small chair. She was sitting in front of the loom. With her left hand, she picked up a handful of cotton wool from a nearby cloth bag, and then peeled it off one by one.

He Ergou was very happy: "It seems that people here are still using pure manual methods to remove seeds and clean cotton!"

Later, He Ergou searched all the way to confirm his conjecture, and when he was about to reach the village, he saw that every household was peeling cotton seeds tirelessly by hand.

He Ergou was overjoyed. As a doctor in the 25th century, he has dabbled in both astronomy, geography and agriculture.

In this era, there is no electricity, and various metal materials, but it is still very easy to find some wood.

With a light in his heart, He Ergou took big strides and went to the end of the village to find the strong man.
